text: Mini Moos: Miniature Cattle Are Cash Cows for Breeder Yes, good things often come in small packages. We brought you a lot of animal stories in 2010, but the year ended in a bang on a Colorado farm with the birth of a rare miniature panda cow. The calf, named Ben, arrived at the farm of Chris Jessen, but Ben's father, a 1,000-pound panda bull, was sold to Jessen by Richard Gradwohl, who developed and trademarked the panda cattle breed at his Happy Mountain Miniature Cattle Farm in Washington state. "We're the ones who developed the breed. The reason it's a panda is because it's a composite of eight panda breeds," Gradwohl told AOL News. At the Happy Mountain Miniature Cattle Farm near Seattle, Richard Gradwohl and his family have developed 18 of the 26 miniature cattle breeds known to exist. Here he's pictured in 2001 with 1-year-old Precious, the first miniature panda cow born in the world. The Happy Mountain Farm is also the site of the International Miniature Cattle Breeders Society and Registry -- a family business owned by Gradwohl and his wife, Arlene. Their son, Mike, is the farm manager, and their daughter, Michelle, is the farm's office manager. When the Gradwohls started the business in 1966, they wanted to register the cattle in order to keep records of their various pedigrees, but since there wasn't any formal registry at the time, they started their own. Of the 26 miniature cattle breeds in the world, Gradwohl has developed 18 of them. "We created the registry, starting out with about 20 animals, and now we have over 7,000 animals registered all over the world," he said. Historically, some miniature cattle breeds from Britain were actually prized for their small status, but after World War II, larger-sized animals were bred because of higher meat demands in America, as well as the higher milk volume from bigger cows. "When animals were first brought to the United States from Europe, they were small -- the Holstein, Angus, Hereford -- and they were all in the range of around 42 inches tall. Somewhere along the way, it was decided that bigger was better," said Gradwohl. He says there are seven niche markets for miniature cattle today: Pets Breeders Shows Mini-milkers All-natural farm-grown beef Organic beef Semen and embryo "It's a marketing program. My background as a college professor was in entrepreneurship and marketing -- that's what I taught. So I developed the different breeds to fit these different niche markets." Some of the mini-animals Gradwohl has developed are 32 inches tall. He says that 36 to 44 inches is the acceptable range for the panda and for most other miniature breeds. The process of creating new mini-breeds involves a good deal of trial and error, often taking upward of eight years for the results Gradwohl looks for. "You breed for a particular characteristic -- what I call line breeding -- and you do this over a six-generation period until you end up with a 'super bull' that has all the characteristics of the original bull you selected. Finally, you take that super bull and breed him back to all of the females in the whole program, except for his mother." When Gradwohl set out to develop the miniature panda cattle breed, he was looking for an animal that would have a white belt around the middle and a white face with black around both eyes. "It took a long time to get to the point where I could call it a breed." Gradwohl frowns on the use of the phrase "genetic manipulation" to describe what he does to produce his mini animals. "I prefer to think of it as genetic design. To a high degree, it's a process of manipulation, but that term has negative connotations. We don't do anything like cloning. We do natural breeding, and the design is created when you decide what kind of a breed you're trying to create." If you're in the market to buy a cute, cuddly mini-panda cow as a pet, that would run between $4,500 and $25,000. And there are two colors of panda. Most are black and white, but once in a while a rare red panda, in which the body is red with a white belt and a white face with red around the eyes, is produced. So, which miniature animal is the most popular and visually striking? "Well, the panda is the hook -- that's the one that people want to come and see," Gradwohl said. "People buy what they perceive to be something that's going to satisfy their individual wants and needs." The former college professor says the future of the miniature cattle industry is bright, because there's so much interest in the tiny animals. While Gradwohl insists he doesn't have a personal favorite, he concedes his affection for a particular red panda cow named Bridget. "It's the world's first red panda female heifer. She's a gorgeous animal and her temperament is just really laid back. I've got a halter on her and every few days, I'll take her for a walk.

The 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season hasn't been a Carl Edwards-type season. The driver of the No. 99 Roush Fenway Racing Ford came close to the Sprint Cup championship last season, finishing in a points tie with eventual champion Tony Stewart and seeing the title trophy slip from his hands because Stewart made more trips to victory lane.
Edwards posted only one win last season, but that is one more win than he has to his credit so far this year with only three races remaining on the 2012 Sprint Cup Series schedule. Edwards also finds himself on the outside looking in this time around after failing to make the 12-man Chase for the NASCAR print Cup.
I'm excited to go there since I think we've got as good a shot at winning there as we've had all season.
Edwards is hoping to turn things around as the series heads to Texas Motor Speedway this weekend for Sunday's AAA Texas 500. Seven races into the Chase, no non-Chaser has visited victory lane so far in the postseason, but Edwards has a shot to change that.
"I'm excited to go there since I think we've got as good a shot at winning there as we've had all season," Edwards said. "We want to finish this season strong just like we did in 2010 leading up to our 2011 championship run, and to do that we need to get a couple of wins."
The driver of the No. 99 is the Sprint Cup Series wins leader at TMS with three trips to victory lane. Add to that his two victories at the track in Nationwide Series competition and statistics show that Edwards is a force to be reckoned with when the circuit heads to the Lone Star State.
The circuit has already visited Texas once this season and something that may be on Edwards' side this time around is the fact that one of his RFR teammates was victorious at TMS earlier this year.
"Carl has three wins at Texas already and we'd sure like to get him the fourth one this weekend," crew chief Chad Norris said. "(Greg) Biffle won there in the spring while we got a top-10 finish so we know the RFR Fords are strong at Texas."
The seven Chase races, so far, have been dominated by Chase drivers. Edwards is hoping to have something to say about that on Sunday.

Former Fox News host Gretchen Carlson has warned employees they should think twice about reporting sexual harassment to HR
Arbitrated unfair dismissal claims found to be "fair" or in the employer's favour fell from 46% to 39.6% in 2015-16
What is your current role?
I am currently employed as general manager, HR at St Vincents & Mater Health Sydney (SV&MHS) – incorporating St Vincent's Hospital, St Vincent's Private Hospital, The Mater Hospital, North Sydney and St Joseph's Hospital and Village at Auburn.
What qualifications do you hold?
I hold a Master of Management (MGSM) majoring in human resource management.
Why did you get into HR?
My interest in the ability to influence the work environment and develop people was the driving force for my interest in HR. I am passionate about making a difference and I saw HR as an opportunity to really connect with both the organisation's business goals and the individual needs of its employees.
How did you get into HR?
By accident. I commenced my career in finance working mainly with payroll and internal customers on the delivery of investment services. During the early part of my career I was fortunate to work in a progressive organisation in the cosmetics industry which was undergoing incredible growth and as a result I was asked to assist in the establishment of the personnel function. In this role, I was given flexibility to explore best practice and develop policy, programs and people initiatives to meet the needs of the business. My career in HR has been very rewarding as I have had several opportunities to work in leadership roles in very diverse industries across local, regional and global boundaries.
Where do you see yourself in five years' time?
Contributing strategically on the executive of a progressive organisation which values individual contribution and the delivery of service to its customers and the broader community. I would also like to contribute through board membership of a not-for-profit organisation.
What has been your biggest career high so far?
This is a hard one. I have had many great opportunities working across several industry sectors in exciting newly created roles. For me, the reward comes from the ability to make a difference. In my career I have been given enormous flexibility to improve and implement new HR practices which have been leading edge and firsts for some industries. If I had to think hard I would say rolling out global change management programs at Brambles and most recently, introducing innovative strategies focused on learning and development, reward and recognition. Recognition within SV&MHS has truly enabled me to make a difference to individuals and the organisations they work for.
What do you think it takes to succeed in HR?
A good understanding of the industrial environment, a sound technical background and a strong track record of adding value. This, coupled with passion, personal insight, understanding and the ability to respond to the needs of the individual and the organisation will ensure your success as a HR professional.
How do you manage relationships with senior executives?
I think it is important to be authentic and understand that you are part of a bigger team. Understanding what drives each of the executives and agreeing where you can add value. Senior executives need to see you as a partner adding value and assisting them to develop their business.
Who is your biggest professional inspiration?
I have had the opportunity of working with a number of inspirational leaders at different times during my career. I would say however that Karen Wilson was my greatest inspiration because without her encouragement I would probably never be where I am today.
What advice would you give to graduates considering a career in HR?
Relationships are the key to being a successful HR practitioner. Know what you are passionate about, understand your values and ensure that they are aligned to your choice of organisation. Determine early what you can influence, be open, and most of all, be prepared to make a difference.
Describe yourself in three words
Strategic, caring and passionate.

|60 m²
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 - 5 nights
Studio apartment, tucked away on a grand old Beverly Hills Estate, once home to Joseph Kennedy. Just once block south of the Beverly Hills Hotel, smack in the middle of Beverly Hills' most exclusive neighborhood. Perfect for an individual or a couple looking for an elite address within a tranquil setting. When traveling with a child, request an extra bed. Bright, cheerful, but simple. This apartment is functional and comfortable, not luxurious. Full service kitchen. A wall of six French doors look out over a half-acre garden, shaded by tall Eucalyptus trees and lush bougainvillia.
For cocktails walk over to the Polo Lounge. Swim in a salt water ool, or dine under the stars on your own private patio. Within walking distance to all shops and restaurants on Rodeo Drive. Wifi, cable TV and on site parking included.
Location Convenience: Offers a centrally located and elite address. Within walking distance to all shops and restaurants in downtown Beverly Hills. 5 minutes from Cedars Sinai Hospital; 7 minutes from the UCLA campus. An easy drive to Venice, Malibu, downtown LA, theme parks and the San Fernando Valley. Also serves as a comfortable home base for day trips to Santa Barbara, Newport Beach, the San Diego Zoo and Sea World. In short, a peaceful oasis in the middle of teeming Los Angeles.
I am a documentary writer/director and my husband Dale Herd is a screenwriter. We have three children and have lived in Beverly Hills for twenty years. This Rodeo Drive property has been in my family for two generations. The house has a happy and peaceful vibe.
Deborah Blum purchased this studio in 1989
Historic property located on one of the most exclusive streets in the world. Safe, beautiful and tranquil neighborhood but centrally located and within walking distance to downtown Beverly Hills.
This house has been in Deborah's family since 1941. Deborah's father was a Hollywood screenwriter who wrote STALAG 17 with Billy Wilder. We bought it from her parents 22 years ago. It's a well known house in Beverly Hills because it's one of two examples of the Craftsman style in the city. People often tell us it's their favorite house in Beverly Hills.
Dear Debbie and Dale... I couldn't have asked for a better location, right in the heart of Beverly Hills and convenient to everything! The studio is cheerful and comfortable. Thanks for your hospitality. I will book again the next time I'm in Los Angeles.
My daughter and I just returned from Beverly Hills where we stayed in this absolutely charming studio guest house. It was perfect for us--So much so that I will try to plan trips to Los Angeles around the availability of this studio. Every day, my daughter or I would comment on how comfy and cozy this getaway was. It has 2 very comfortable beds, a nice tv (which we didn't turn on so I don't know any more about), a kitchen and bath. Just perfect for our needs.
We saw the owner a couple of times and she was so very nice.
The location is perfect. A quick walk to the shops on Rodeo Drive and less than a block from the Beverly Hills Hotel, where we had breakfast one morning.
I could not be more pleased with this Beverly Hills studio. I would recommend very highly. I hope to return soon!! Thank you!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The space was clean, wide open, light, fully equipped, had wonderful linens and an extremely comfortable bed. The access to any LA location was unbeatable. The parking was convenient, the kitchen was lovely...we felt like we were private guest of the hosts...like we had been personally invited and yet, we felt like we had the place to ourselves. We would stay here again in a minute. In fact, we hope we get to come back again and again. We didn't want to go. It was truly lovely.
I loved this little light filled studio. It has a beautiful view of the back yard garden. Very peaceful and private. Deborah was welcoming and made sure I was comfortable.
Stayed with my mother in the downstairs unit very spacious for us both and the owner of the property greeted us as soon as we arrived and readily available if you needed to reach out - sleeps 3 queen and full bed 2 bedroom separated is upstairs also rentable all the things you need to cook and more. - in the heart of Beverly Hills and we would love to come back.
We recently spent five days at the studio on Rodeo Drive. It is a charming and simple space, with everything we needed. The neighborhood is lovely, we spent morning walks marveling at the beautiful homes. Some days we walked to the shops and restaurants on Rodeo, but it's also super quick to drive to UCLA on Wilshire or Sunset, and not far at all to the 405 and all that LA offers. Debbie and Dale are super friendly and fantastic hosts. The history of the property is fascinating. We definitely will be back!
My friend and I stayed in November, and it was just as described, on the website. No...It was BETTER! Perfectly located for traveling to different areas, and just down the street from the Beverly Hills Hotel, for an amazing lunch, dinner or breakfast. The apartment was so cute, and just the perfect size. Beds were incredibly comfortable, and it was great to wake up to that LA sun, streaming through the windows. Parking was easy. Debbie was phenomenal to deal with, and easy to reach. I would definitely stay here, again, when in the Los Angeles area.

And maybe the two pages should be merged somehow or at least made consistent since both Lucene and Solr have the same needs in that area (Developer/Source.) -- Jack Krupansky

You purchased your Pathfinder because its fuel efficiency and long-lasting quality agreed with your nature; so why would you settle for anything but the best when it comes to the highest quality auto parts?
Reducing NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) is the responsibility of quality engine and chassis components. Located under the engine block on your Nissan Pathfinder are two or more motor mounts. Your Nissan Pathfinder motor mounts are composed of a metal bracket or sleeve that will bolt to the subframe assembly, and a rubber or urethane bushing protects the chassis from excess vibration by absorbing or dampening it. All engine mounts will vary in appearance from the ones found on your car or truck, but their purpose is the same; no matter what.
Given all the trouble that can be involved with installing a part to fix your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the number one store you go to make purchasing it easy. Don't let a Engine & Motor Mount repair spell the end of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't gamble with its condition by installing anything but the highest quality replacement parts. At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members on the phone with enough expertise to help you select the correct Nissan Pathfinder part for your project or repair. All the Nissan Pathfinder Engine & Motor Mount parts on this page will fit vehicles made in 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996, 1995, 1994, 1993, 1992, 1991, 1990, 1989, 1988, 1987.

Stocks discussed in the in-depth session of Jim Cramer's Mad Money TV program, Monday October 8. Click on a stock ticker for more analysis:
Seeking Alpha publishes a summary of Jim Cramer's stock picks every day including: Mad Money Recap, Lightning Round, Stop Trading and his Wall Street Confidential Picks.
ValueClick (VCLK), Yahoo! (NASDAQ:YHOO)
One way to make a lot of money on a stock overnight is to buy a company that will be taken over. Cramer's prediction of a DoubleClick and aQuantive acquisition proved to have been correct as DoubleClick was bought by Google and Microsoft purchased aQuantive, which was in merger talks with VCLK prior to its takeover. Cramer predicts either MSFT or Yahoo may purchase VCLK at a "gigantic takeover premium." The stock has great fundamentals and is a "triple buy" even if it isn't taken over.
Related: Eric Savitz comments on VCLK's rise amid takeover rumors.
Jakks Pacific (NASDAQ:JAKK), World Wrestling Entertainment (NYSE:WWE), Mattel (NASDAQ:MAT), Hasbro (NASDAQ:HAS)
For those who would like to own "the next Mattel" into the holiday season, Cramer recommends JAKK as an investment or a trade. Wednesday's analyst meeting should determine whether the stock will go higher, and Cramer says a positive outcome will mean that Jakks is a buy as long as the price stays under $28. JAKK has $83 million in net cash flow which may grow to $100 million and may fund share buybacks or the purchase of new stores. It is trading at a "big discount" to Mattel and Hasbro, and while the company may lose its right to market WWE products, Cramer is not concerned. He recommended buying it either for the long-term or the short-term but not for both.
Related: Alex Shandunsky sees potential growth for JAKK in video games.
Special Guest: New York Giants Defensive Lineman Michael Strahan: Under Armour (NYSE:UA)
Cramer invited Michael Strahan onto Mad Money to talk about his football career, his book: Inside the Helmet: Life as a Sunday Afternoon Warrior, and his investments. Strahan describes himself as a conservative investor who prefers mutual funds and global exposure. He owns one stock, UA, which he bought during its IPO and it is consistently giving him profits.
Mad Mail: Caterpillar (NYSE:CAT)
Cramer told a viewer he likes CAT because it is an international company and is not a captive to the US GDP. Concerning trading after hours, Cramer commented, "Everything you do will be completely wrong if it's done after hours. Wait until the next morning and use limit orders"

PortCityDaily.com is your source for free news and information in the Wilmington area.
Brisket and boats and bands, oh my.
Between the much anticipated arrival of a tall ship and the return of the long-awaited Port City Rib Fest, northern downtown Wilmington is the place to be this weekend.
But first, you're going to have to find a place to park.
While it might seem like a daunting task, organizers of both events have arranged to make getting there—and staying out of the traffic—a little easier.
The rib fest has teamed up with Metro PCS to offer a free shuttle service – in an open air, trolley-style bus – to the event at North Waterfront Park, 1000 N. Front St. The shuttle will pick up at various spots between South Front Street and the park from noon to 12 a.m. on Friday and Saturday. Each shuttle shop will have three pick-ups and drop-offs per hour. Click here to see a trolley map.
The rib fest runs 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. today and Saturday and from noon to 7 p.m. Sunday.
You can park out of the way and hop on the shuttle straight to the festivities, and there is also a stop at nearby Port City Marina, where the 16th century replica tall ship, El Galeon, will be docked and open for self-guided tours starting at 10 a.m. Saturday.
If you'd rather go by sea than by land, Wilmington Harbor Enhancement Trust (WHET)—the non-profit organization that is bringing El Galeon to the area—has partnered with Wilmington Water Tours to offer a taxi service along the Cape Fear River.
The company's water taxi, Bizzy Bee, will run from Battleship Park to the foot of Market Street and then to Port City Marina. From Port City Marina, you can either take a tour of El Galeon or catch a trolley ride to the Port City Ribfest.
The round-trip cost to ride the water taxi is $6 for adults, $3 for children 3-12 and $1 for 2 and under.
Port City Marina, 10 Harnett St., also plans to open up one of its lots to festival-goers and tour takers.
And Dick Heiser with WHET offers up yet another option to get there.
"I would just stress to folks that we have a beautiful riverwalk," he said. "Just park out of the way and come down the riverwalk."

Back during E3 in June, CodeWeavers was talking about "support for DirectX 11 [in the coming months]." It's been nearly six months and it looks like we're still a ways out from seeing support in Wine.
With the open-source Wine 1.8 release just around the corner, CodeWeavers announced this morning the immediate release of CrossOver 15.0 for Linux and OS X systems for running the latest Windows applications.
The third release candidate is now available for Wine 1.8 as a weekly update to take care of more bugs.
The latest weekly release candidate to Wine 1.8 is now available.
Now with being under a code freeze for Wine 1.8, the first release candidate of this first major Wine update in two years is now available.
With Wine now under a code freeze for v1.8, here's a look at the new features coming to this next stable version of the Wine software.
It was announced today via WWN 402 that last week's Wine 1.7.55 is the last development freeze with now going into a code freeze for version 1.8.
Wine 1.7.55 was released this morning with some exciting changes.
Coming in just a few days after the Wine 1.7.54 release is the experimental Wine-Staging 1.7.54 release with a few extra features.
Wine 1.7.54 was released this morning as the latest bi-weekly Wine development release.
Following last week's release of Wine 1.7.53 as the newest bi-weekly development release, Wine-Staging 1.7.53 is available for the more ambitious users needing to run their Windows programs on Linux.
With Wine 1.8 working towards release in the near future, version 1.7.53 of Wine was released this morning.
Since early 2014 we've seen Wine running on Android and now it looks like before the end of the year CodeWeavers will release a version of CrossOver for Android along with publishing the associated Wine patches.
Building off Friday's release of Wine 1.7.52 is now Wine-Staging 1.7.52 with a few more updates added in.
It's been one month since the last Wine development release, but Wine 1.7.52 was just tagged and made available today.
Besides Wine switching to yearly releases and making Wine-Staging official, there were many other interesting sessions at this year's WineConf. One such session was discussing the state of Wine for alternative architectures.
Besides switching to yearly, time-based releases, the upstream Wine developers have decided to make Wine-Staging an official part of the project.
It was decided at WineConf 2015 last week in Vienna to shake-up how the stable Wine releases are handled.
With next week's bi-weekly Wine development update will see more Direct3D 11 functions implemented.
Building off last week's release of Wine 1.7.51 is the equivalent Wine-Staging update. Besides re-basing off this new Wine release that has XAudio2 support and other new functionality, the staging update has some new CSMT patches for boosting the Direct3D gaming performance.
The latest bi-weekly development release of Wine is now available.
Wine 1.7.50 was released this past Friday and it started adding Direct3D 11 support code. The equivalent Wine-Staging update is now available with a few extra features.
Wine 1.7.50 is a very exciting development update to this free software project for running Windows programs/games on Linux and other operating systems. Wine 1.7.50 starts its Direct3D 11 implementation!
Building off Friday's release of Wine 1.7.49 is a new Wine-Staging update and it comes with an interesting experimental program to better integrate Wine apps with the GTK3 Linux desktop.
The newest bi-weekly development release of Wine is now available.
Today marks two years since the start of the Wine 1.7 development series. While it's been two years of doing bi-weekly development releases, there's no sign of Wine 1.8.0 being ready for release in the near future.
With Wine 1.7.48 having been delayed compared to its normal release cycle, the adjoining Wine-Staging update was also delayed but made it out this week.
Wine 1.7.48 didn't make it out last Friday for the usual bi-weekly development released, but is out there today.
Building on top of Friday's release of Wine 1.7.47 is a new Wine-Staging release that tacks on a couple extra features.
Wine 1.7.47 was just released as the newest bi-weekly development version of this popular open-source project to run Windows programs on Linux and other Unix-like operating systems.
