"Anybody who brings him up, besides me, is fired," Beck said of the new policy. Astonished by the severity, co-host Stu Burguiere asked if staffers could get by with just mentioning that "the president said," to which Beck said it would be evaluated on a "case-by-case basis."
Instead choosing to refer to the president as "that man" or "that guy," Beck explained the very loose definition of what counts as "mentioning" the president in his mind. After much back and forth with his colleagues, Beck said:
"You can allude to him. You can play Joe Biden. But I don't want to hear the man's voice. I don't want to hear him. I don't want to know about him. You want that information? Go any place else. There's thousands of outlets, you can have all the information you want. I am not talking about that man."

Many human activities and associated sources can contribute to high insecticide concentrations in aquatic systems, which can potentially lead to lethal and sub-lethal effects on aquatic organisms. Sources associated with urbanization (e.g., wastewater treatment plants) and industry (e.g., insecticide manufacturing plants) may directly discharge effluents containing insecticides into streams. Agricultural, silvicultural and urban land uses often involve the application of insecticides to control a variety of insect pests. These applied insecticides may be transported atmospherically, and may enter streams via stormwater runoff or via leakage or leachate into groundwater. The extent to which these transport pathways occur depends upon several factors, including timing and rates of application, precipitation patterns, and environmental persistence of the insecticides.
In streams, insecticides may be dissolved in the water column or associated with sediments, and the effects they have will depend upon the medium in which they occur. Exposures may be episodic (e.g., pulsed deliveries of insecticides with stormwater runoff) or sustained (e.g., long-term exposure to insecticide-contaminated sediments), and the bioavailability, uptake, and toxicity of insecticides during these exposures will vary with environmental conditions (e.g., temperature).
Increased insecticide concentrations within streams can result in decreased condition, decreased growth, altered behavior, increased susceptibility to other stressors, increased mortality, and decreased reproductive success in affected biota (macroinvertebrates may be especially susceptible), and ultimately may alter population and community structure and ecosystem function.

HOUMA — Four suspects were arrested in a drive-by shooting that injured two early this morning following a graduation party, police said.
Two men, ages 21 and 19, were shot from a car near the corner of West Main and Antoine streets at about 3 a.m., said Sgt. Dana Coleman, Houma Police spokesman. The 21-year-old remained hospitalized this morning in stable but guarded condition from a wound to the stomach.
The 19-year-old was treated for a wound to the thigh and released that morning.
An officer chased a Kia Optima that sped from the direction of the shooting and arrested its four occupants, Coleman said.
The driver, Johnathan Short, 18, 3630 Baker Drive, graduated from Ellender High the evening before the shooting, authorities said. His passengers, Dustin Calloway, 20, 126 Olympe Drive; Jaquan Smith, 17, 3721 Baker Drive; and a 16-year-old, whose name police are withholding because of his age, were also arrested.
The city sees an increase in crime when school is released each year, according to Coleman, and the shooting could be a sign of the annual surge.
"We hope crimes of this magnitude don't escalate during the summer," he said. "We hope (children) exercise better judgement in dealing with conflict and problems."

Case File: United Kingdom Crop Circles
Location: Numerous locations through Southern England
Date: June 15, 1988
Description: Scattered over bumous sites across the country, hundreds of crop circles in strange, complex shapes have been found throughout southern Englan since the 1970s. Some people believe they are connected to sightings of strange lights or UFOs that are seen the night before the circles are discovered.
CaseEditHistory: Crop circles are a recent new phenomenon that has been occuring within the last thirty to forty years. Nearly 95% of the circles in England are located near the mysterious landmark known as Stonehenge, and near other rock monuments. Charity Down is a farm located several miles away from London. On June 15, 1988, farmer Chris Woods drove a tractor through one of the wheatfields when he saw a giant circle that had appeared in the field, and nobody can explain how it got there. Since the late 1970s, hundreds of circles similar to that one have been found in fields throughout southern England, some as large as 100 yards, apparently forming over night in fields of wheat, rice, and corn. The circles are never cut, but pressed down in a swirling pattern both clockwise and counterclockwise, but the crop is not damaged and is harvested normally. There is never any footprints or tire tracks found near the circles, and some appear in twos, threes, or even in fours or fives that make complex geometric shapes. Some have satellites, or smaller crop circles around them, while some have rings around them, and some, amazingly, have both satellites and rings. Several researchers, including Pat Delgado, Colin Andrews, and Archibald Roy have studied the crop circles, and do not believe that they are hoaxes, and some claim, due to the detail that have been put into the circles, and the large amount of circles. As part of a televised experiment, British military personnal tried to create a crop circles with several mechanical tools. Researchers determined that the difference between the "hoax" circles and the "real" circles is what is happening to the plants. The roots in the real circles are softened, bended, and hardened. If the circles are not a hoax, then what are truly creating them? Several theories have been brought up and discarded.
Infared technology showed that there was no evidence of sinkholes, or anything similar that could have caused it, and although some believe that whirlwinds are the cause of the circles, other scientists and farmers believe that whirlwinds could not do that. Regardless, the crop circles appear to form over night and are believed to be related to lights that are seen during the night near where the circles are found. One sighting occurred on July 6, 1985, while Pat and Jack Colins were driving in farmland near Stonehenge. They saw a circle with lights all around it in the sky and they believe that it may have been a UFO. That same night, according to Colin Andrews, two circles were found the next day that was in a direct alignment with the UFO. In the summer of 1988, a British scientist team began a surveillance operation to watch to see if a crop circle is made. The operation went of eight days and nights, but none of it formed. Interestingly, no circles appeared throughout most of Southern England, and that whatever did create the circles apparently knew about the watch, bringing the possibility that intelligent life might exist outside of Earth. Even though they didn't find any circles, they did find that there was an energy field in one of the circles, which many scientist believe are very significent. Nobody has any idea who made the circles, and why they were made.
Background: None
Investigations: Richard G. Andrew has investigated the England crop circles. Pat Delgado and Colin Andrews have spent over a decade studying the crop circle phenomenon, and have even written a book about. Originally they received reports of one or two in the late 70s, ten to twenty in the early 80s, and in 1988, 98 circles formed in five months. Then, in 1989, there has been over 200 circles in just a few months, according to Delgado and Andrews. They don't believe that the crop circles could be weather-related. Some researchers believe that the England crop circles are a hoax. Glasgow University professor Archibald Roy has studied the circles since 1980, and he has found that no theories that have been presented to completely explain what causes them. Some theories he have found include: circles formed by hundreds of hedgehogs, imprints of UFOs, caused by helicopters, whirlwinds, and hoaxes by humans. However, Archibald does not believe that they were hoaxes because of the large amount of the circles that have been discovered.
Extra Notes: The case was featured as a part of the January 31, 1990 episode. An update to this segment aired on September 12, 1990.
Results: Unresolved. Since the story aired, 500 more crop circles were discovered in England, and several other countries, including the United States. Several new and more complex designs were found, including one that had rectangles through the center. In June, three pictograms were made making it the largest crop circle formation in the world. Colin Andrews believes that because the circle was so large, it seems that it would be impossible for it to be man-made. Then another experiment was done to try to capture a circle on film. For three weeks, scientists and other experts monitored one of the most active crop circle areas. Amazingly, four circles formed there, and even though two were dismissed as hoaxes, the other two appear to be genuine. Botanists recently compared the samples of the plant inside the circle to the ones outside of the circle, and surprisingly, they were much different in patterns. Some believe that the causes of the circle formations are supernatural, mainly because the structure of plants cannot change because of human or natural reasons. Most amazing to many is the circles that are forming throughout other countries. Then, in 1991, two men, Doug Bower and Dave Chorley, came forward claiming that they were responsible for several crop circles that occurred in 1978 in England. Several other crop circles in England have also been proven to be hoaxes, but many of the crop circles in England and in other countries still cannot be explained.

Ethanol pumping up food prices
Get ready for higher food prices, which appear to be just around the corner for U.S. consumers and potentially a crippling burden for the world's poor.
A combination of natural calamities and congressional mandates has come together to drive world food prices to levels that make some governments in developing nations nervous, because higher costs can mean political instability. The toll on American grocery carts thus far is low, but analysts say price increases are coming.
China drought: China prepares for 'severe, long-lasting drought'
The immediate causes of the rise are clear: bad harvests due to drought in Russia, China and Argentina and floods in Australia, among other things. But a longer-term cause may come as a surprise:— 24% of the U.S. corn crop is now mandated to go to ethanol, taking slack out of the world food market and making price shocks more likely, agricultural economists say.
Prices rising: Prices starting to creep higher
Add lower-than-expected corn yields last year and, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture figures out Wednesday, U.S. reserves of field corn are at their lowest levels in 15 years. The demand for corn for ethanol is now at 4.9 billion bushels per year. Corn prices have almost doubled, from $3.49 a bushel in July to $6.10 in January. Corn futures, contracts to buy corn at a given price in the future, as of Wednesday were $6.90 a bushel.
INFLATION AHEAD?: Bernanke's not worried
"We're going to be going into next year's harvest with really no surplus inventory at all, so the size of next year's crop becomes critical," says Darrel Good, an agricultural economist at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.
A threat to the poor
However, foreign production of corn and projected stocks this year are higher than in the past two years, buffering the global situation somewhat, says Heather Lutman, a corn analyst with USDA.
For the 1.2 billion people who make $1.25 or less a day and spend 50% to 80% of their income on food, price rises mean hunger and less money for education and health care, says Gawain Kripke of Oxfam America, an anti-poverty charity.
For Americans, there are "definitely indications that point to higher prices, but we've yet to see a major impact," says Ephraim Leibtag, a USDA food economist. Meat, dairy and eggs, primarily dependent on feed prices, are "less shielded from surges in commodity prices," he says. USDA is predicting rises in the food price index for 2011 of 3.5% to 4.5% for pork, 2.5% to 3.5% for beef, 2.5% to 3.5% for eggs and 4.5% to 5.5% for dairy.
But corn, because it's made into high-fructose corn syrup, our most commonly used sweetener, is in many other items Americans buy as well.
Companies likely to raise prices
Thus far it's been "kind of stealth," but consumers will see the effects soon, says Joseph Saluzzi, co-founder of Themis Trading, a brokerage firm in Chatham, N.J. Companies don't want to increase prices, so they've cut expenses and even made packages smaller, he says. But as earnings statements came out this quarter "a bunch of companies have said they're going to raise prices," he says.
The U.S. is the world's largest producer of field corn, at 13 billion bushels a year. Sweet corn, the kind we eat on the cob, is less than 1% of total corn grown.
Since 2005, more and more of the nation's field corn crop has gone to create ethanol. Fuel blenders are obliged under the 2007 Energy Independence and Security Act to mix a certain amount of eligible biofuels into the gasoline they sell. The blenders receive a tax credit of 45 cents per gallon of ethanol.
"For corn-based biofuels such as ethanol, the current mandate (under EISA) is 12.6 billion gallons, which increases to 15 billion in 2015 and remains at that level," says Tom Capehart, a USDA biofuels expert.
At this year's level, 39% of U.S. field corn is used to produce the gasoline substitute. A third of that comes back into the food supply as distillers' grains, a by-product of ethanol production, which can be added to animal feed, bringing the total down to 24%.
Corn farmers dispute the connection between high prices and ethanol. More corn is being grown per acre "thanks to technology in the seed and practices on the farm," says Bart Schott, president of the National Corn Growers Association. Instead, he points at "speculation in commodity markets, corrupt foreign regimes, currency fluctuation, hoarding by other countries and, of course, the weather" for rising prices.

During his hey-hey-hey-day as the "SportsCenter" co-host, Keith Olbermann was prompted by ESPN management to take a slight career turn and help give some credibility to the launch of a new spinoff channel called ESPN2 in October 1993.
Actually, back then they referred to it as "The Deuce." It was going to be hipper ESPN, playing to the snarky demographic (if "snarky" was even a word then), using urban-inspired graphics that really have not stood the test of time when you look back on it all now.
Sure, Olbermann agreed. Why not? If that's what the team needs, he'd be a team player.
Media criticism came fast and harsh, especially from those who weren't in that demographic target of males aged 18-to-18 .
With a young Suzy Kolber to his left sitting at the anchor chair, Olbermann lost the sport coat and sported a brown leather jacket in hopes of recreating a new vibe.
And as a way to diffuse tension in the room, his first words on the first ESPN2 three-hour version of its "SportsCenter" was: "Welcome to the end of our careers."
Some who took that literally were probably upset at him, but that's where his compass guided him. It's part of the deal, and that's really the tone that was supposed to be set.
Somehow, it's 20 years later, and 16 years removed from Olbermann's final "SportsCenter" where he admits he left on ugly terms. An ESPN vice president at the time had the memorable line in USA Today that Olbermann didn't just burn bridges at the network, "he napalmed them."
(Note: The employee still works for the company ... awkward.)
A post-ESPN journey saw Olbermann stay relevant at Fox Sports' national cable venture, then off to political commentary on "Countdown" at MSNBC and Current TV, and for a couple years as co-host again with Dan Patrick on NBC's "Football Night in America."
But it's against most odds that he has been allowed to do some bridge building in Bristol, Conn.
ESPN2 has created a spot for a show titled "Olbermann" starting Aug. 28, in the 8 p.m. PDT slot from New York's ABC studios in Times Square, where he'll comment on the day's events from a platform surely to rankle some more ESPN suits in the process, but also generate a needed buzz.
Loathe him or hate him, Olbermann needs ESPN as much as the network needs him back to help give credibility to their channel -- again -- as there is perceived competition now from the launch next month of Fox Sports 1.
At the same time, this allows Olbermann a chance to right some wrongs he admits happened along the way.
"I'll let you characterize it any way you'd like, but I think it's less irony and more symmetry," Olbermann said of being allowed to circle back. "Maybe that (ESPN2 launch) didn't work -- in big huge letters -- but we gave it our best shot. And we're still kicking as a network."
Olbermann sounded sincere to "have this chance to put a different ending on the story of my relationship with ESPN ... I would like to do my best to correct as much of it as I can and I appreciate the fresh start. ... I'm grateful to friends and bosses -- old and new -- who have permitted that opportunity to come to pass. I'm not going to waste it."
He's already got a foot back into the sports world by working out a deal with TBS do to work during the upcoming MLB postseason, a job that ESPN says he'll be allowed to keep.
Norby Williamson, the "SportsCenter" producer when Olbermann left KCBS-Channel 2 (by way of KTLA-Channel 5) and headed to ESPN in 1992, played a huge role in creating this Olbermann Version 2.0.
As the current ESPN vice president of programming, Williamson has been trying to create a late-night show for ESPN2 for more than a year, and has been talking to Olbermann about it.
"It's an opportunity to create a dynamic choice opposite ESPN's 'SportsCenter,' similar to what we have during the day with ESPN's 'SportsCenter' and ESPN2's other news and information shows," Williamson said. "Ultimately, having Keith available and having the day part available gave us the chance to put the two together."
Ultimately, ESPN president John Skipper had to sign off on it as well, knowing there could be venomous backlash.
"I'm aware of Keith's previous experience at ESPN where he was an enormous talent and I'm sensitive to some previous issues," Skipper said. "It was ultimately my decision and I welcome him back.
"What matters to me is that the show will be smart, provocative, informed, fun and funny, and for that I think I have the right host."
Politics aside -- those in the office as well as talking about what goes on in Washington D.C. -- Olbermann won't be restricted in what he wants to address on a nightly basis, but the emphasis will be on sports first.
"The key three or four words about this are `It's a sports show,' " Olbermann said. "If I wanted to go and do politics, I would still be doing politics. ... If you hold a different political point of view than the one I've expressed in the last couple of years, you probably should be very happy that I'm not doing politics anymore."
The 54-year-old Olbermann could famously fall flat in this comeback attempt - and he will likely be used on other ESPN shows and events as he re-establishes his footing. Many are curious as to the odds or over-under for his length of tenure, based on his spectacular track record with human resources departments.
He immediately opens himself up to punch lines, such as the one tweeted out by Danny Zuker, the writer and executive producer of ABC's "Modern Family" that went: "ESPN confirms that Keith Olbermann will return to the network and be fired 12 days later."
Olbermann, who reportedly has a two-year deal this time, offers no insights to which betting lines to take.
"Every time I've made a prediction (about my career), even internally to myself, I was completely wrong," he said. "There is no way to forecast my career path and I have given up trying."
At least he hasn't given up trying to be a pertinent sports anchor, and one we can thankfully locate again on a regular basis when seeking out smart, pointed commentary with plenty of context and passion.
Even if he's not wearing that full leather jacket any more.
== HBO sends new correspondent Soledad O'Brien out to do a piece for the latest edition of "Real Sports" (Tuesday, 10 p.m.) about the MLS's Chivas USA franchise and its billionaire owner, Jorge Vergara. The premise is how Vergara has made many personnel changes to the team that shares Carson's StubHub Center with the Galaxy, moves that benefit those of Mexican heritage primarily. O'Brien is to interview former players and coaches who say they were pushed out because they are neither Mexican nor of Mexican descent. Among those interviewed: Former Chivas USA Academy director and coach Teddy Chronopoulos and coach Dan Calichman, who filed a discrimination lawsuit against the team last May; former Chivas player James Riley, now with DC United, and journalist Gustavo Arellano, who has the column "Ask A Mexican" for the OC Weekly.
== Sports Illustrated writer and NBC "Sunday Night Football" contributor Peter King launches a version of his "Monday Morning Quarterback" column in an expanded TheMMQB.com where he serves as a full-service NFL news website with his own staff that includes SI's Don Banks and Greg Bedard. Sports Illustrated will own the site.
== The Comcast-supported CSN Houston cable channel, in partnership with the MLB's Astros and NBA's Rockets, has been struggling to get providers to carry the network and its expensive $3.40 monthy customer price tag, but the belief is that things will change soon. Why? The arrival of Dwight Howard, of course. Only 40 percent of the Houston market has the channel, with DirecTV and Dish Network the main holdouts (sound familiar, TWC SportsNet?). CSN Houston President and general manager Matt Hutchings told the Houston Chronicle this week that the Rockets' signing of Howard is "frankly, a game-changer" for the future of the network. Let us know how that turns out, OK?
== Fox's airing of a 90-second promo for its new Fox Sports 1 channel, complete with some USC-created footage from a pretend game against Oklahoma at the Coliseum, sure looked like an expensively produced spot that is sure to dupe viewers into thinking it's going to be the next big thing. A version of the song "Happy Days Are Here Again" provided the musical background, which prompted ESPN president John Skipper to remark: "I read that the Fox guys think happy days are here again, and I'm happy that happy days are here again for them. Sorry they were not happy before, because the days at ESPN have been happy for quite some time and this is another happy day for ESPN."

Laser hair removal
Find an Experienced Provider with Good Equipment that is Regularly Calibrated
Newer lasers have features built in (such as sapphire cooling tips) to make them more comfortable. Some of the newer technology is also more efficient, allowing for lower energy settings to be used with better results and less discomfort. For any laser treatment, safety is the most important consideration. In the state of Texas, every new laser patient has to be seen by a medical practitioner. At that point, they can determine if you can be safely treated with their laser.
We recommend finding an experienced and reputable provider in your area with updated equipment. Calibration and power of the laser is important for a safe, comfortable and effective treatment. Find out what laser they will use and if it is under a maintenance contract. If their laser isn't calibrated on a regular basis or is underpowered, your treatment may be painful or inefficient.

Amendment to house bill is step toward keeping C-130H aircraft at Stratton
An amendment to block the relocation or retirement of C-130 aircraft throughout the country has left Schenectady County officials encouraged about the fate of four aircraft they thought Glenville might lose.
There was speculation earlier this year that the Stratton Air National Guard Base in Glenville could lose its four C-130H aircraft to military downsizing and consolidation. The fear was that relocating the planes to another base would negatively impact the National Guard's 109th Airlift Wing based out of Stratton and its missions in Antarctica and the Arctic Circle.
The House Armed Services Committee approved an amendment today to the fiscal 2013 Defense Authorization Bill that, if adopted as part of the final Defense Authorization Act, would prevent the relocation of the aircraft.
Marty Finn, Chairman of the Schenectady County Legislature's Economic Development Commitee, thanked the federal and local legislators who supported the amendment that would keep missions and jobs in the county.
"The Stratton Air Guard Base performs key military and scientific missions in a very cost competitive way," said Finn in a news release issued today. "This measure keeps these C-130s right where they belong in Glenville. Moving four of the 14 aircraft stationed here made no sense."

Globe Base
I claim the copyright to this tutorial. You are free to do whatever you please with what you make, but please do not take my tutorial. Do not send the tutorial through email. Only share my link.
This tutorial was created for some friends of mine who wanted to begin learning more about PSP. It is intended for high beginners to intermediates. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me.
To do this tutorial you will also need Paint Shop Pro. I used Paint Shop Pro 7, but the steps used may also be done in Version 8 or 6. You may download a free trial at Jasc.
Remember to save as a psp file often!
Before we begin, you must have completed a bubble/globe glass. Here's the tutorial for the Heart Bubble that I am using. You could create the base without the bubble present, but the bubble helps to make the base shape.
You also need a flower tube, or jewel tube, to make the globe base.
Now that you have studied the tools, let's begin!
1. Open the globe bubble that you wish to make a base for. Hold the Shift key down and press D. This duplicates the bubble. Close the original. In the top menu click on Image > Resize. I resized my globe to 75%.
2. Then with the mover tool
(from the left tool menu), slide your bubble up, to have some empty space
on the bottom.
3. Open up the flower tube. Click in top menu on Image > Resize. And choose a size that best fits your bubble (about 40 - 45 pixels is good).
4. In the top menu, click Edit > Copy.
5. Click on your bubble image. In top menu, click Edit >
Paste >As New Layer. With the mover tool, move the flower into place
under the bubble, to one side. We will build half of the base.
6. Right-click on the flower layer, and choose Duplicate. With the mover tool, move the second flower into position under the first, and slightly to the left.
7. Repeat Step 6, until you have built the left side of the base.
(See picture below).
8. I wanted to accent the stand with some smaller flowers.
You can use the same or a different tube. I duplicated my last flower
layer and then Resized it to about 25 % ( make sure resize all layers
is NOT checked). And repeated Step #6 with the smaller flower and
filled in the gaps. (See below).
9. Hide the bubble layer (bottom one merged one) by clicking on
the glasses to make a red X show.
10. Right-click on one of the flower layers, and choose Merge > Merge Visible.
11. Right-click on the Newly merged layer, and choose Duplicate.
12. In the top menu, click Image > Mirror.
13. You have just formed the right half of the base. You may need to use the mover tool to adjust the two halves so that they are centered.
14. Unhide the bubble layer, by clicking on the Red X.
15. Right-click on one of the layers and choose Merge > Merge
16. Now save the image as globebase.psp
Continue to learn how to animate your globe by layers.

Target: Tom Vilsack, Secretary of the United States Department of Agriculture
Goal: Stop the U.S. government from allowing a New Mexico horse slaughtering plant to process meat for human consumption
Horses haven't been slaughtered for human consumption on U.S. soil since 2007 and for good reason, but the government is currently reviewing applications for an inspector at a horse slaughtering plant in New Mexico. The presence of an inspector means that the thousands of horses the Valley Meat Company slaughters every year can be processed for human consumption.
The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) and the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) have been leading the defense, heavily criticizing the Obama administration and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Wayne Pacelle, the president of the HSUS made a statement saying, "It is astonishing that we may see the resumption of horse slaughter on U.S. soil while Europe is still reeling from a horse meat scandal. Have we not learned anything about the industry's deception in Europe and the turmoil it has caused?"
Not only is processing horse meat for human consumption unnecessary and inhumane, it also creates serious health risks for consumers. Horses are often treated with drugs like anti-inflammatories, which never fully leave the body. The recent discovery of horse meat being exported from Mexico and the European Union triggered an investigation which ultimately led to the discovery that residue from these drugs was present in the food supply.
In most cases, horses are integrated into the food supply as a method of saving money. Thousands of horses are sequestered every year and shipped across borders for processing. Because there is no cost involved in sequestration, such as there is in farming or raising cattle, cutting beef products with horse meat can dramatically reduce a company's overhead. The decision couldn't have come at a worse time. Recent government spending cuts could affect food safety inspections on U.S. meat products, making more horse slaughter plants in the future and highly contaminated meat supply a strong possibility.
The HSUS and ASPCA are currently pressuring Congress to reintroduce a bill that would outlaw the slaughter of horses on U.S. soil and also ban the export of live horses across U.S. borders. Please sign the petition below to demand that the U.S.D.A not approve inspections in New Mexico, saving hundreds of thousands of horses from unnecessary slaughter and also protecting our food supply.
Dear Secretary Vilsack,
The United States Department of Agriculture is currently considering the possibility of hiring inspectors at the Valley Meat Company in New Mexico, which would allow horses to be processed for human consumption. Not only is the slaughter of horses unnecessary and inhumane, horse meat often contaminates the food supply, as was recently witnessed in Europe, because of the drug treatments they are given throughout their lives.
I strongly encourage you to pass legislation that will outlaw horse slaughter on U.S. soil and also ban the export of horse meat. With spending cuts already likely to affect food safety inspections, the possibility of contaminating the meat supply with toxic drugs and chemicals should be more of a concern than ever. One needs to look no further than the recent investigations throughout the European Union, Canada, and Mexico. Reducing the expenses required to raise meat for consumption isn't worth slaughtering thousands of horses every year and potentially endangering human life. Please do not allow this to happen.

Blogger Spotlight: Angela Liddon, of Oh She Glowsby Lauren Miyashiro in Uncategorized, March 29, 2013
Tell us a little bit about the name of your blog.
The name represents the glow that comes from the inside when I'm treating myself well. When I was in recovery from an eating disorder my friend Leah told me I was glowing and that she could tell I was on a healthier path. Her words of encouragement always stuck with me and it became my goal to glow throughout the recovery process. When I was brainstorming blog names, I wanted something that was catchy and had the word glow in it. I first thought of 'She Glows', but I discovered that the domain was already taken, so I decided on 'Oh She Glows'. I'm really glad that I didn't go with 'She Glows' because I feel like Oh She Glows is a great fit. To this day, the name still has a lot of personal meaning in my life and I'm sure it always will.
How were you able to embrace and enjoy food after struggling with your eating disorder?
Hard work, professional counseling, and learning to have fun in the kitchen were a few things that helped me. For so many years, I relied on processed diet foods because they were low in calories. Once I started learning more about nutrition and the amazing health benefits of eating real, plant-based foods, I was hooked. Not to mention, they taste so much better than anything from a package. I felt so great eating this way and it was all the motivation I needed to stay on this path. I now take great pride in making a lot of my own food. It's a labor of love.
What advice do you have for those seeking to start fresh with a healthy lifestyle?
My advice is to make small changes that will fit into your life. I've never been one to go cold turkey with things (and this was true for my gradual shift to a vegan diet), but I seem to have the most success with a slow and steady approach. Make a goal to include one new vegetable into your diet or try one new healthy recipe each week. Often we get into food ruts and forget all about the huge variety of nutritious foods out there. In my experience, it helps to focus on things you are adding to your diet rather than what you are taking away.
What can you tell us about your upcoming cookbook?
I'm currently working on my first vegan cookbook due out early in 2014. It will feature around 100 vegan (and many gluten-free) recipes with around 100 full-color photographs. I'm creating all of the recipes as well as the food styling and photography, so it's been a whirlwind year. I enjoy it immensely though and I can't wait to share the book with others.
What is your favorite ingredient to bake with?
I love baking with almond flour and almond meal because it lends an incredibly moist and chewy texture to cookies and squares. It's also naturally sweet without the off-putting taste that some gluten-free flours can have. Plus, you can make it in your own kitchen if you have a high-speed blender. To make almond flour, add 1-2 cups of blanched almonds into a blender and blend on high speed until a flour forms. To make almond meal, add 1-2 cups of whole almonds into a blender and blend on high speed until a meal forms. Be sure to sift both varieties before using to ensure that you remove any remaining almond pieces.
What is the Green Monster Movement? Do you have a recipe suggestion for those new to green smoothies?
The Green Monster Movement is a website I created in 2009 after receiving such a positive response to my green smoothies that I created on Oh She Glows. After reading about Kris Carr's green juices in her book Crazy Sexy Cancer, I decided to try and make something similar. However, I didn't have a juicer so I used my plain old blender. My initial creations were quite scary – hence, the name Green Monster. Thankfully I started making tastier blended green smoothies over the years. The name Green Monster stuck and my readers began sending me pictures and recipes of their own green creations. I collected so many submissions that I started the Green Monster Movement website as a place to showcase reader recipes.
Here's the recipe for my Classic Green Monster Smoothie; it's a great beginner green smoothie:
1-1.25 cups non-dairy milk (I like almond milk)
1 handful raw spinach (or kale if your blender can handle it)
1 frozen banana
1 tbsp almond butter, peanut butter, or coconut oil
1 tbsp chia seeds (optional)
Ice, ice baby
Blend all ingredients until smooth.

text: High myopia, also known as degenerative myopia, is a leading cause of blindness. This degree of myopia is often associated with degenerative eye conditions and diseases like glaucoma and cataract affect both vision and ocular health. Because high myopia is caused by abnormal elongation of the eyes, the retina and parts of the eye responsible for sending signals to the optical nerve are most affected. Stretching and thinning of the retina weakens the eye and increases the risk for retinal detachment. Without immediate medical attention a detached retina can cause blindness.

Motor home torched near Seneca
Oconee County investigators believe a motor home near Seneca was set on fire this week—but not before more than one thousand dollars worth of contents were stolen. The Sheriff's Office seeks your help to solve the crimes of arson and larceny at Ashley Lane—not far from Reedy Fork Baptist Church. The Wednesday morning fire, just before 6:30, destroyed two-thirds of the motor home. The contents of an oil can had been poured all over the interior of the vehicle and there was evidence that the rear bedding section had been set afire. Stolen were three television sets and a stereo system—all valued at $1,300. If you have information that can help solve the crimes, call Crimestoppers at 638-STOP OR 1-888/CRIME-SC. Tips may be sent by text to 2-7-4-6-3-7. If your tip leads to an arrest, you may be eligible for a reward of up to $2 thousand.

Books: Well, that is an interesting topic. After Dante and Joyce sometimes I wonder why people still bother to write anything.
Nevertheless the whole fiction/creative process is interesting and sometimes illuminating: Crime and Punishment, the Divine Comedy (see above),Ulysses (see above), Franz KafkaÃâ¢s and American Pastoral as absolute masterpieces, as western civilization canon for literature.
Then there are few more, but is not nearly comparable with the above: The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, Pereira Declares, Eneide ,A World Apart, The Death of Ivan Ilyich, the Parfume, 1984, , Hydrogen Economy, The Corrections, Black swan, audacity of hope, Christ Stopped at Eboli, Cesare Pavese, Italo Calvino Dissipatio HG, The Solitude of Prime NumbersÃâ¬Ã¦.I mean, it s just a long list of nice entertainment, but it is not going to tell you who I am

Women need a voice against abuse
September 20, 2011
It was interesting to hear Dominique Strauss Kahn (DSK) attempting to redeem himself upon his return to France, describing his encounter with a New York hotel maid as "inappropriate," "a moral failing," and denying "using violence." The criminal case against him collapsed as prosecutors said Nafissatou Diallo's "lack of credibility" meant the case could not continue. DSK also said he felt "afraid and humiliated by the US justice system." What would have happened to him if this incident had occurred in India? Sexual harassment of women in the workplace is covered by the Vishaka Guidelines issued by the Supreme Court of India in 1997. The guidelines were the result of years of effort by activists following the gang rape of Bhanwari Devi, a social worker who was attacked after trying to intervene in a child marriage in 1992 in Rajasthan. According to the guidelines, sexual harassment is not confined to instances of rape or assault but also includes "unwelcome sexually determined behavior (whether directly or by implication) as physical contact and advances; a demand or request for sexual favors; sexually colored remarks; showing pornography; and any other unwelcome physical, verbal or non-verbal conduct of a sexual nature" that offends the dignity of the person it is directed towards. The guidelines take into account the effect such behavior has on the victim and, most importantly, when such behavior comes from persons using their positions of power to degrade, humiliate or demand sexual favors. "Third-party harassment" is also covered under the guidelines, which is relevant in the hotel sector where employees have contact with third parties through interactions with clients and guests. In India, it is possible that DSK would have been found guilty. Would he have complained about a justice system that had hauled him before a court for "inappropriate behavior towards a woman from whom he demanded a sexual favor and who is definitely in a position of power? At a recent Consultation on Gender Relations in the Church, one of the presentations drew attention to the fact that language is important when discussing abuse. Misleading or euphemistic words such as "inappropriate" to describe an offence or crime of sexual harassment or abuse minimizes the harm done to the victim and softens the misconduct of the offender. The term "moral failing" implies sinful behaviour that is made right by forgiveness from God, not necessarily from the victim, who understandably may not forgive unless she sees that justice is done by way of an apology from the offender and punitive action to prevent further abuse. The harm done to the victim is not considered. The seriousness and coercive nature of the abuse/harassment using power and privilege is not taken into account. Sanctions by authority and accountability to the community are made redundant when God forgives even the greatest sinner. "What happened was more than an inappropriate relationship; it was an error, a moral failing of which I am not proud," said DSK, presenting himself as a contrite, humiliated victim of a woman who sought justice for the abuse of her human dignity. When the abuser uses a narrative that places himself in the category of victim, the woman is left with no appropriate language to describe her experience of abuse. She is therefore seen as the temptress, seducer, the one who invited the inappropriate advances by trapping the unsuspecting man in a situation of error and moral failure. Is it any wonder then that the criminal case against DSK was dropped on the grounds that Ms Diallo's case lacked credibility? Do we see similarities in our own backyard? The recent Consultation noted that the current attitudes towards woman victims of abuse use a discourse that leaves them with no language to name violence and abuse of women in the Church. This has effectively silenced them. They are left with a sense of guilt to suffer the burden of the "sin." To correct this injustice, the institution of an independent, woman-headed and women-centric investigating and grievance redressal commission similar to that mandated by the government in the Vishakha guidelines, in all parishes or dioceses in India, to enable victims to seek justice, was strongly recommended. It should be noted that these women need to be gender sensitive to the issue of sex abuse by clergy. Only then can the Church claim to give all women victims of clerical sex abuse the justice and "life in abundance" promised by Jesus.

Impacts on the U.S. Oil and Natural Gas Markets
As of Thursday, October 13, 4:00 pm
Shut-in Status
According to EIA's Weekly
Natural Gas Storage Report for the week ending Friday, October
7 (released today), working gas in storage increased to 2,987
Bcf, which is 1.2 percent above the 5-year average inventory
level. The implied net injection of 58 Bcf is about 10 percent
below the 5-year average injection of 64 Bcf for the week and
about 16 percent below last year's injection of 69 Bcf.
According to EIA's Weekly
Petroleum Status Report for the week ending October 7 (released
today), U.S. commercial crude oil inventories (excluding those
in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve) increased by 1.0 million
barrels from the previous week. At 306.4 million barrels, U.S.
crude oil inventories remain above the upper end of the average
range for this time of year. Total motor gasoline inventories
dropped by 2.7 million barrels last week, putting them below
the lower end of the average range. Distillate fuel inventories
fell by 3.4 million barrels last week, and are now in the lower
half of the average range for this time of year. Inventories
fell for both low-sulfur (diesel fuel) distillate fuel and high-sulfur
(heating oil) distillate fuel. Total commercial petroleum inventories
declined by 6.9 million barrels last week, but remain in the
upper half of the average range for this time of year.
Natural Gas
In an attempt to assess the effects of Hurricanes Katrina and
Rita on oil and gas production, the Louisiana
Office of Conservation is addressing the operating status
of producing wells in a thirty-eight (38) parish region for
information. As of October 13, the Office has received reports
indicating 691.7 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) of onshore
and offshore (in State waters only) natural gas production has
been restored, which is 30.9 percent of total production before
the hurricanes. Overall, 2,725 oil and gas wells, or 45.8 percent
of the wells in the region, reportedly remain shut-in. However,
the Office has not received information on approximately 31.7
percent of the oil and gas wells in the region. The daily gas
production capacity of the 38 parish region is estimated to
be approximately 2,235 MMcf/d, based on the average production
reported to the Office for the period January 2005 to May 2005.
Sixteen processing plants in Louisiana and Texas, with capacities
equal to or greater than 100 million cubic feet per day, are
not active. These plants have an aggregate capacity of 9.71
billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d), and they had a total pre-hurricane
flow volume of 5.45 Bcf/d. A number of non-operating plants
with a total capacity of 1.85 Bcf/d are operational, but are
not active owing to upstream or downstream infrastructure problems
or supplies being unavailable. These plants had flowed 0.7 Bcf/d
before the hurricanes. A number of the inactive plants are expected
to be operating within 4 weeks. Based on updated data, these
plants have capacity of 2.58 Bcf/d and pre-hurricane flow of
1.34 Bcf/d. Based on updated company information, pre-hurricane
flow volumes indicate that the average utilization of the non-operating
plants was roughly 56 percent.

Outlook for the UK over the next 6-30 days
UK Outlook for Monday 31 Jul 2017 to Wednesday 9 Aug 2017:
A generally unsettled spell of weather is expected on Monday and Tuesday with a mixture of sunshine and showers for most, and possibly a spell of more prolonged rain in the southeast. Heavy showers and strong winds are most likely in the north and west with a risk of hail and thunder, with lighter winds elsewhere. The unsettled pattern looks most likely set to continue until early August with further frontal systems affecting the United Kingdom, interspersed with clearer or perhaps showery weather and some unseasonably windy conditions at times, mainly in the north and west. Temperatures should be around normal to cool, with perhaps only the far south east seeing some warmer and humid conditions at times.
Updated at: 1254 on Wed 26 Jul 2017
UK Outlook for Thursday 10 Aug 2017 to Thursday 24 Aug 2017:
Changeable or unsettled conditions are likely at first with periods of rain interspersed with clearer or showery weather. There are increasing signals for high pressure to build which would allow for more settled conditions and rising temperatures, mostly likely in the south. By the middle of August signals become mixed and confidence is low. However, the preferred solution is for north-western parts to stay largely changeable, with drier and brighter spells of weather becoming more prevalent in the southeast. However, most areas could see showers or longer spells of rain at times.

I just updated my Epia M bios to I0100116.bin. Version 16 supports resume from AC power loss. I had this setting set to 'off' but the mobo would startup immediately when power was applied. I had to change the setting to 'on' then 'off' again in order to get the mobo to not startup when power is applied. Hopefully this will resolve the standby resume issue my system is plauged with.

MLB notebook: Orioles bench slump-ridden slugger Davis
The Blue Jays' Jose Bautista and the Rockies' Troy Tulowitzki will be the captains for the Home Run Derby at the All-Star game.
The event will be July 14 at Target Field, the night before the showcase game in Minneapolis.
Bautista will pick the other four members of the American League team for the derby. Tulowitzki will invite four players for the National League side.
Bautista is a two-time major league home run champion. Tulowitzki has hit at least 25 homers in three of the past four seasons.
Davis, benched by O's, wins game
Orioles slugger Chris Davis has tried about everything to break out of his lengthy hitting slump.
Extra batting practice and intensive video study haven't worked. A seat in the dugout seemed to provide the Baltimore star time come up with the solution.
He came up with a walk-off three-run homer in the bottom of the ninth to lead the Orioles over the White Sox on Monday.
But Davis wasn't in the game's starting lineup. Manager Buck Showalter explained the move as an effort to get Delmon Young playing time, but Davis knew better.
Davis said it's probably because he hadn't been hitting.
Nats' Harper to start rehab assignment
Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper was scheduled to start a minor league rehab assignment at Class A Potomac for his injured left thumb.
Nationals manager Matt Williams said the plan was for Harper to play three innings in left field and get a couple at-bats.
He was expected to play all three outfield positions while on rehab. He could return around July 1.
The 2012 NL Rookie of the Year was hitting .289 with a homer and nine RBIs before injuring his thumb on a headfirst slide into third base. He was placed on the disabled list April 27.
Around the league
The Rockies placed former Pirates catcher Michael McKenry on the bereavement list and selected the contract of catcher Jackson Williams from Triple-A Colorado Springs. ... Reds second baseman Brandon Phillips was out of the starting lineup for Cincinnati's game against the Cubs on Monday because of a bruised right heel. ... The Blue Jays placed infielder Brett Lawrie on the 15-day disabled list because of a broken right index finger. Lawrie is expected to miss three to six weeks. ... The Cardinals recalled right-hander Eric Fornataro and infielder Pete Kozma from Triple-A Memphis to fill the roster spots of injured pitchers Michael Wacha and Jamie Garcia. ... Three Rays players took batting practice against a female high school knuckleballer before Monday night's game against the Pirates.

Albany Childcare has fun with Mandarin and Spanish
25 September 2013
Albany Childcare has fun with Mandarin and Spanish for Preschoolers
The first term of teaching Preschoolers a second language is wrapping up on a high at Kids Planet Childcare in Albany.
"We recently introduced an extra-curricular extension programme to teach four year olds a second language." Says Manzine Guo – Languages Teacher. "Nearing the end of this term, parents and teachers were amazed how quickly young children picked up these language skills. The children can now say common phrases, know a number of words and meanings and have a good grasp of basic conversation."
Research has revealed that young children have an immense capacity for learning new languages and exposure to a foreign language in a child's formative years has been proven to raise their IQ level, while also having a positive impact on their overall learning experience.
The programme is held in the centre's recently completed, purpose-built languages classroom and is taught by experienced, specialist teachers from the long-established LCF Fun Languages and Music Programme.
Both programmes are based around an interactive framework, utilising a range of games, role play, drama, music and movement - with the learning outcomes and methods of teaching a perfect fit with the centre's existing Te Whariki curriculum.
Enrolments are now being taken for term four which is strictly limited to 10 places.

ACCT 3001: Managerial Accounting -- An International Perspective
Class Sessions: Monday evenings 5:45-8:45PM during the full Fall Semester
This course introduces students to the design and use of costing systems to support key operating and strategic decisions of business firms. Accounting 3001 is an opportunity for students to fulfill Carlson School's Functional Core accounting course (ACCT 3001) with study in the United States, Argentina, and Chile, both founding members of the United Nations and the Union of South American Nations.
Program schedule
The program starts with a city tour and welcome dinner in Buenos Aires. The first week includes guest lectures and company visits in Buenos Aires and then the group transfers to Santiago, Chile for the second half of the program where there will be additional guest lectures and company visits. Included in the program is also time for a small amount of independent exploration in both Argentina and Chile.
Please contact the Carlson Global Institute office if you would like to see a sample schedule.
Application and Admissions
To apply, please visit the Apply page. Students will be charged a $50 application fee. The application cycle starts on March 1 and the priority deadline is April 3. Applications for programs that do not fill by the priority deadline will be accepted on a rolling basis until full. Applications will be reviewed and students will be informed of their status within 4 weeks of the priority deadline.
This program is open to U of M undergraduate students in good academic standing, with a GPA of 3.0 at the time of application. Students must also have completed ACCT 2050 before 2015 Fall Semester. The application process is competitive and space is limited. Meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee acceptance.
Location details
Buenos Aires is the capital and largest city of Argentina, and the second-largest metropolitan area in South America. As the political, financial, industrial, and commercial hub of Argentina, the city is also known for its European style architecture and rich cultural life. Located on the eastern edge of the Pampa, Argentina's most productive agricultural region, and linked with Uruguay, Paraguay, and Brazil by a great inland river system, the city is the distribution hub and trade outlet in South America.
Santiago is Chile's capital city, and the center of commerce for the country. It is a modern city and serves as the regional headquarters to many multinational companies including Minnesota-based 3M, Ecolab, and Cargill. Due to its location on fault lines, Santiago has a limited number of buildings remaining from Spanish colonial times, so the city has a modern architectural feel.
Housing and Food
Students will stay in double or triple rooms with students of the same gender at a centrally-located hotel in Buenos Aires and Santiago. Because networking and community-building are key parts of the program, students will not have the option of a single room. Guests are not permitted during the program. Breakfast will be provided daily at the hotels. A welcome dinner and closing dinner are also provided.

Parent Sells Self On Craigslist
How far would you go to fund your child's education? Well, a parent in the Boston area was willing to go pretty far. In an ad placed on Craigslist, this parent offered up their body for "legal or medically experimental".
The post has since been removed from Craiglist, but the poster was looking for $200,000 to cover their child's student loans.
