I can only make an assumption at this point, but I am leaning toward Henry Wayland as his Father. I have Nevil serving on a Jury around the 1760's giving his name then as Francis Nevil Wayland, there is also a Henry Wayland there which could not have been his son. With the Old Ninety Six records scattered and information is coming to light not only in SC but NC one day we may be able to determine who Nevil's father was. I have Nevil Wayland having at least 3 sons; Henry, Nevil and Francis and a couple of daughters. I have been told he had at least five sons, but this has not been proven. What are your therories on this Family? My Grandfather Wayland always said the family was English, this was told to him by his father and that was told to him by his father and so forth.

Fancourt has become a global landmark for business, leisure and golfing travel but its gradual expansion can be traced back to the establishment of the Manor House by its first custodian, Henry Fancourt White.
The late 1880s was a period of grandeur for Henry White, whose role in the development of the commercial infrastructure around the Montagu Pass led to the establishment of the Blanco House – his esteemed family home and predecessor to the current Manor House. Shortly after his passing, the property was auctioned and sold to his son, Ernest Montagu White, who made extensive improvements to the estate. The regrettably early passing of Montagu due to wild mushroom poisoning, saw the property fall into a state of disrepair until in 1960, Dr Krynauw initiated a renovation process that would recapture the splendour of what is now a national monument.
Expanding on the stature of the Manor House, the estate itself was transformed into a hotel and golfing destination in 1989 under the direction of Andrea and Helene Pieterse. Now, under the ownership of Dr Hasso and Sabine Plattner, the Fancourt estate boasts a contemporary outlook on its early beginnings, with award-winning golf courses and unparalleled service offerings, against the backdrop of the ever-present Outeniqua mountain range.

George Child and Family Welfare Society
Founded in 1926 by the town's former mayor, the George Child and Family Welfare Society (GCFW) was established to provide a centre of care for abused, neglected and abandoned children. It was in 2000 that Fancourt and Sabine Plattner African Charities stepped in to offer much-needed funds for the running of GCFW and today, it is one of the most successful non-profit organisations in the country.
Its official Safe House, established in 2008, serves as a short-term home for children in crisis, who have been abandoned or abused and are in need of emergency placement at any time of the day or night. The GCFW also encompasses the Sikelela Skills Development Centre to boost job creation and provide sustainable solutions to the challenges of poverty and unemployment within the larger community.
Apart from its main childcare focus, the GCFW renders the following services:
- Foster care placement
- Food support
- Educare centres
- Organic gardening training
As part of the shareholders' continued commitment to promoting a better quality of life for those less fortunate than ourselves, Fancourt automatically adds an optional R10 donation to our hotel invoices for the George Child and Family Welfare.
Sikelela Skills Development Centre
Sikelela Skills Development Centre is an initiative of the George Child and Family Welfare Society (GCFW) aimed at creating jobs and driving long-term change in the lives of the unemployed through basic craft training. Established in 2006, Sikelela trains and assists local crafters to develop socially, economically and environmentally sustainable lifestyles.
In association with the Department of Cultural Affairs and Sport and the Cape Craft and Design Institute, this project provides training for crafters in design, production, marketing and the sale of their products. The work of these talented artisans include handcrafted gifts, art, fashion and décor products which are sold at Sikelela's retail store on the corner of Albert and Merriman streets in George alongside a selection of treats and organic coffee at the adjacent café.
The captivating Garden Route region in the Western Cape of South Africa stretches for 400 km along large expanses of panoramic Indian ocean beaches, with breathtakingly beautiful mountain ranges and natural forests. The Garden Route was voted the sixth best coastal drive in the world by Virtual Tourist. For non-golfers the region's diverse offering include ocean sailing, horse polo, wine estates, mountain biking and hiking - the famous otter trail route, beautiful indigenous and protected forests, and breath taking Indian ocean beaches with an abundance of sunshine. There are organic food markets, craft villages, big 5 safari experiences, ocean and forest adventure activities, world class hiking and mountain biking trails and the world's highest bridge bungee jump.

Today I've successfully updated to Mavericks
created bootable USB with myHack, copied my smbios.plist to usb's /Extra/ folder and that's all! you may need to backup your Extra folder as myHack can try to overwrite it and it's not possible to boot without correct smbios.plist (8,1 or 8,2).
Actually even when installing 10.8 you don't need to replace any Intel HD kexts, just copy correct smbios to Extra folder


text: I've searched fairly extensively in the forums for the answer, but every thread seems to be dedicated to adding home screens. I use no more than 8 -10 apps. How do I remove homescreens? I hate that it fouls up my wallpaper pictures that I'm trying to use. Overzoomed & over pixelated - how do I fix this? I don't want to have to crop my photos taken from the droid camera. I want to frame the picture vertically with the camera, and use the image as my homescreen wall paper? My current screen looks like I used a VGA webcam to take the picture, not a 5MP camera. (Or even my Canon T2i when I try to use an image taken from that) Any help appreciated! edit: I've tried researching some Launcher pro stuff but I'm new to android and don't really have any idea where to get a launcher pro 101 or cliffs notes. Everything currently just seems to be updates and bug fixes.

Washington DC - (Rioters): President Bush has said Karl Rogue shouldn't testify under oath before a Senate committee because he is doing God's work.
"If they issue subpoenas, the Lord will give Karl holy sanctuary in the White House Chapel. That's consecrated ground with immunity from arrest.
"Besides, testimony under oath is for hardened criminals. Not for officials firing public prosecutors.
"Ya think Karl would lie if he's working for the President?"
But confidence in Bush's mouthpiece has hit rock-bottom.
The top Republican on the Senate panel Pennsylvania Senator Phil Spector is currently on Murder 1 charges in a California court house charged with killing a B movie actress.
His victim, Lana Clarkson, was once a material witness who told a Supreme Court jury that Bush's Attorney General Alberto Gonzales was no harmless Mexican lawyer "but a Cuban-born KBG spy master and Osama's sleeping partner."
Rev Pat Robertson is 73.

Additions have been made to the Choux de Bruxelles portfolio of venues in and around the Belgian capitalYes, Choux de Bruxelles actually means 'Brussels sprouts'. However, on the MICE scene it is not a food but an umbrella label of top-of-the-range locations, all regarded as jewels in the Brussels crown.
They are each of unique and authentic character and can be used exclusively, selected to be in the collection because they add prestige to any event and because of their quality of service and facilities.
They range widely from the Arsenal, the Vaudeville Theatre and the Maison Grand Place, from the Young Gallery to the Chalet Robinson. The Arsenal, dating from the early 1900s, has a glass roof giving excellent lighting for occasions that require large backcloths or the presentation of vehicles – or it can seat 600 for dinner. The Maison Grand Place is on several floors of a classical mansion in the magnificent city centre, able to seat up to 140 at a conference.
Several venues have recently been added to the Choux de Bruxelles marketing consortium, including Castle Ardoisière, Hippodrome Ostende and Ferme Coquiamont. These are historic properties outside Brussels that can be reserved exclusively for events for around 250 to 300 guests.

There appears to be an uptick in televised nose-picking that shows no signs of waning as the season progresses.

This is what we suffer through in the age of technology.

The final product is '90s rock in Wrangler jeans and cowboy boots, something that fans of Taddy Porter and Kings of Leon will appreciate.
Much like The Avengers, each member is given the chance to play the hero over the course of the 10-track effort. Singer Adam Banner lets his pipes roar in opener "Get Free" — anchored by a killer, Red Hot Chili Peppers-worthy bass line by Zack Baker — following that with a lovely acoustic hook in "Lie with Me."
"February Snow" is carried by a drumbeat from James Gilmartin that would do Dave Grohl proud, and Richard Hunter's saxophone steals many a moment in the record, although it's especially flaunted in "Gypsy Jam" and "Sweet Perfume."
Moonshine is all over the place, however, playing more like a greatest-hits collection than a cohesive album. That's a testament to how the singles stand on their own, but also a criticism of the jarring transitions that even a shuffling of the song order could help remedy.
However, that's an easy fix, and there's a lot more here to like than not. Catch The SweetWater live for free, 9 p.m. Friday at Thunder Alley Grill & Sports Lounge, 2127 S.W. 74th. For more information, call 702-0302 or visit thunderalleyokc.com. —Joshua Boydston

JDwrote a review of Vasque Taku GTX Hiking Boot - Men's on October 1, 2015
Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Fit: True to size
I don't typically write reviews about anything, but these boots suck so hard I couldn't hold my tongue. I have given these boots every opportunity to impress me, and they fall short every time. I bought these in May of this year and the soul is already falling apart. A huge chunk completely fell off and the toe cap has begun to separate in a number of places. I just did a 23 mile hike in the rain last weekend in the Northwest and I had puddles in both boots while everyone else's feet were dry as a bone. I didn't even step in a puddle more than a couple of inches deep! On top of both of these issues, I find these boots to be straight up uncomfortable. My feet hurt after a hike of any distance and I get hot spots on my feet and ankles from them. I have never had issues with blisters in any other shoe I have owned. I have never owned a pair of Vasque boots before. I had high hopes for these and they completely crapped the bed.

One man was shot to death and a woman was wounded during an apparent carjacking that authorities believe began inside the parking garage of an Atlantic City casino early Sunday.
Atlantic County Prosecutor Ted Housel says three "people of interest'' were being sought in the incident, which occurred around 8 a.m. in the area of the Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort.
They apparently fled the scene on foot after the shooting occurred. Police responding to 911 calls soon found the victims inside their vehicle, which was in an alley not far from the casino.
Twenty-eight-year-old Sunil Rattu of Old Bridge was killed in the incident, while 24-year-old Radha Ghetia of Parlin was being treated at AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center's City Campus.
Further details on the incident were not immediately disclosed.
Police have not made any arrests, but the investigation is continuing.

Easy Rust Removal
How does this horrible looking rash form on the surface of the metal? Rust is a chemical reaction caused due to the reaction between iron and water. Or the oxygen in water, to be precise. When you leave the iron in or on a damp surface, the element iron reacts with the oxygen molecules. So? You may ask that if iron in a dry area reacts with the oxygen in the air anyway, how come that doesn't cause rust? This is because the water acts as a catalyst in this reaction and speeds up the process of rusting. And there you have it. Your precious iron is now iron oxide/ferrous oxide. A terrible looking, spoiled and pretty much useless piece of scrap metal.
Or is it?
Well not anymore. Removing rust can be a fairly irritating bit of work, but it can be done and you can still continue to use your metal.
Now whether you want to know about removing rust from a bike or from a car, the way to do so is quite simple. Before I tell you the stuff you'll need for this little exercise, let us see if this work can be done at all.
Let me classify rust stains into three broad categories here. The first one, the bad-ass corrosion, the ultimate rust, is where the metal is gone and a mild tap will blow the thing into bits. No point in wasting your energies over this one. Just suck it up and throw it in the garbage. You might not even get too much out of it from the scrap-dealer.
The second one, is heavy corrosion, but under the oxide there is still the ferrous and something can be made out of it. The best thing to do here is to get a potent rust remover and spray it on. Scrub it a bit and the rust comes right off. But it is important to take the necessary precautions while using commercial rust removers as they can be toxic and can cause bodily harm. So when you're using these rust removers, make sure that you cover your hands and eyes.
The third one is mild rust, just a small little ugliness on the metal. It is easy to remove and can be done by most homemade rust removers. Most mild rust can be removed using this method. For this little exercise you'll need
- Vinegar
- Baking Soda
- Wet Cloth
- Lemon Juice
- The Rusted Metal
Removing Rust Stains
Often, if you've left your tools to rust on some surface, that surface too will get smudged with rust stains. And rust stain removal can be another bit of work to get out. Here are some ways to get rust stains off clothes.
- Get that rust-stained piece of cloth and some lemon juice and salt.
- I guess it's pretty clear from the above experiment that lemon juice has something which is clearly very effective against rust. So apply the lemon juice, water and the salt to the stained area.
- Let the two react with the rust for 24 hours. Mind you, do not scrub the surface as it will only worsen the stain and spoil the fibers of the fabric.
- At the end of your anxious 24 hour wait, you will find that the stains have lifted and you only need the splotch the stained area with some more water (I repeat, do not rub) gently and the stains ought to be off in no time.

The Environmental Impact of Events
Events and conferences can have large carbon footprints. From venue use to attendee travel, event activities generate greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change.
There are, however, ways to make your event more sustainable. You can encourage carpooling, purchase local food, and select energy-efficient locations. For the remaining emissions that you cannot avoid, you can purchase carbon offsets.
Reduce Your Event's Carbon Footprint
Carbon offsets counteract your emissions by reducing greenhouse gases elsewhere. With NativeEnergy's Help Build™ carbon offsets, you can help finance new carbon reduction projects, like community-based wind farms.
By taking responsibility for your event's greenhouse gas emissions, you will publicly demonstrate your organization's commitment to sustainability. Inspire participants and stakeholders with your eco-conscious actions!
We will work with you to create the most effective package of benefits for your green event.

Raleigh, NC - Tobais Palmer sucked the life out of Wake Forest (5-5, 3-5 ACC) with a 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown to begin the third quarter to put NC State (6-4, 3-3 ACC) up 18 on its way to a 37-6 win.
"We were really anticipating the second half being a great half being a great half, and we come out and you give up a 100-yard kickoff return," Wake Forest inside linebacker Riley Haynes said.
"That was kind of a dagger in the heart for us. It was devastating to see that, but we're still only down three scores and people have come back from that. But, at the time we weren't playing very good football and people got down. We weren't able to play our best football from that point on."
Article Continues Below
The lights did not come on for the Demon Deacons until they were down 17-0 when Chibuikem Okoro intercepted Mike Glennon to set up a 39-yard flanker pass from Michael Campanaro to Terence Davis with 10:33 remaining in the second quarter.
The rest of Wake's offensive possessions ended with punts, on downs or out of time.
"We just never were able to get anything going offensively," Wake Forest head coach Jim Grobe said. "You're stuck on six points for four quarters it's hard to beat a team like NC State. You really don't have a chance."
Wake Forest's offense never got out of the gate, as the line failed to adequately protect Tanner Price (sacked five times) and open holes for the ground game (16 yards rushing).
"I think the problem that we've got is we certainly had some issues up front, running and throwing the football, protecting the quarterback," Grobe said. "And then I thought our receivers had some opportunities to make plays and didn't make them and then Tanner didn't play very well I don't think."
"I think we're kind of in a deal where it's probably not fair, but Tanner can't play average. If he plays average we can't win. When we do have throws, when we do protect, when we do have receivers we got to hit them, so it's not anybody's fault, but I think the whole combination of not getting people blocked at times in the run and the throw game up front and then we had a lot of trouble tonight separating. They played a lot of man-coverage tonight, more man-coverage than we expected, more than we've seen out of them. We struggled to get off man-coverage and to protect long enough to give Tanner a chance to have people get free."
Price completed 18-33 passes for a meager 113 yards and an interception, while Campanaro was limited to five receptions for anemic 14 yards.
As a team Wake Forest had its worst offensive output (185 total yards) since the drubbing it received at Florida State (126 total yards) earlier this season.
"I felt like offensively we just didn't play well at all, too many mistakes across the board, receivers, me, offensive line," Price said. "We just really didn't click tonight and we weren't making plays."

Dan Kahan has a really useful post up on the Cultural Cognition blog on whether motivated cognition (and cultural cognition) is a cognitive bias in need of debiasing through law. Dan situates his comments in the context of science communication:
"The amount of information it is useful for any individual to accept as true is gazillions of times larger the amount she can herself establish as true by valid and reliable methods (even if she cheats and takes the Royal Society's word for it that science's methods for ascertaining what's true are the only valid and reliable ones). Scientists, like everyone else, are able to know what is known to science only by taking others' words for it. There's no way around this. It is a consequence of our being individuals, each with his or her own separate brain . . . ."
The point generalizes: we are required to learn about most complex systems and events though intermediaries. It makes sense – it is both efficient and useful – to rely on intermediaries who will see as salient those particular pieces of information that we ourselves are disposed to want to highlight. Cultural cognition describes this "biased" assimilation process, but isn't itself an error of thought.
The problem that results is that having trusted particular sources (and consequent worldviews), we become less able to see what others' see. We are thus led to believe that others are biased, while we remain dispassionate observers. Can't they see what we see? Why are they so politicized? As Orin Kerr snarks in one of our recent comment threads:
"When my side wins, it is a triumph of reason; when the other side wins, our reason is outnumbered by their mere exercises of power."
(He's made similar points before – but this comment thread had to do with the healthcare decision, and I'm trying to optimize our google search rank by mentioning the Supreme Court's decision coming tomorrow in a post entirely about something else.)
Cultural cognition isn't a bias, but it does create a collective action problem. It's the job of policymakers – and intellectuals with time on their hands – to try to work out a public solution. To be concrete, the Supreme Court, whatever it does tomorrow, could help by writing opinions that didn't so obviously work to cater to our worst passions.

Mass surrender by Assam rebels
More than 500 separatist rebels in India's north-eastern state of Assam have surrendered to the authorities in what is said to be the biggest such move ever.
The rebels, who belong to three of the state's leading separatist groups, gave themselves up at a surrender ceremony pre-arranged with the state government.
Assam's Chief Minister, Prafulla Kumar Mahanta, said the surrenders were a sign that the rebel separatist movement had lost its popular support.
But the leading separatist group, the United Liberation Front of Assam (Ulfa), has described the surrenders as a stage-managed exercise.
Ceremonial surrender
One by one, 532 insurgents laid down their weapons, including assault rifles, explosives and pistols, in front of Assam's governor.
The surrenders took place at a ceremony at Ranghar, an amphitheatre dating back to the 13th century and used by the Ahom tribe, the main ethnic group in Assam.
It was the site where the Ulfa was founded 21 years ago.
Chief Minister Prafulla Kumar Mahanta told the BBC that it was now time for the Ulfa and other rebel leaders to accept that their organisations had lost popular support.
He said rebel groups should enter into negotiations, either with the state or central government in Delhi.
"We shall be providing the surrendered militants with all possible help and support, including vocational training, to enable them to lead a normal life," he said at Ranghar.
Claim contested
But an Ulfa leader, Paresh Barua, described the surrenders as a stage-managed exercise co-ordinated by the authorities to counter support for the rebel groups.
He said only around 30 of those who surrendered belonged to his organisation.
The rest, he said, were either villagers who supported the ULFA or former rebels who had already surrendered.
Lt General DB Shekatkar, who heads the Indian army operations against the rebels, said 1,800 to 2,000 fighters remained in the jungles.
Ulfa is fighting for an independent Assamese homeland and has been locked in a low intensity war with Indian forces for the past decade.

County unemployment falls, jobs gain
Jobless rate drops to 3.7 percent
Don Bauder 11:30 a.m., Nov. 17
Wear It Again Sam
3922 Park Boulevard, Hillcrest
(619) 299-0185
Kristine Anderson first started noticing the trend 20 years ago. Men, mostly, business types, as well as those who plunged into the swing-dance craze started coming in and asking for ties. Not just any ties: They wanted the loud, wide, brash ties from the '40s. Straight out of The Maltese Falcon. They wanted to be Sam Spade or Mike Hammer or Bulldog Drummond or Damon Runyan. Walter Mitties, all. "It has never stopped," she says. "Except now there are so many collectors, the real classics are getting harder to come by." The ones she gets most requests for are, number one, Salvador Dalí ties, limp watches and all; number two, the "girlie ties," the big broad ties with dames slinking down the front, winking out at you between the lapels. "The other popular ones are the hand-painted '40s silk ties," Anderson says. The hand-painteds go from $10 to $50. The girlie and Salvador Dalís from $150 to $500. Earlier ties, say from the '30s, are a little less popular, because even though they were the broadest, they were short. "Suits then had a higher lapels," says Anderson. Still they're way more popular than '60s ties. "By then the tie was this little one-inch-wide nothing." You can hear the disgust in her voice. "Made of polyester."

GRAHAM, N.C. -- A 15-year-old boy was stabbed in a fight over a Facebook post according to Graham Police.
Officers say the stabbing happened on Wednesday around 5:00 p.m. at Crescent Arms Apartments on East Parker Street. When police arrived, they said they found the 15-year-old boy on the ground in the parking lot. Police believe the teenager was stabbed five or six times.
The 17-year-old suspect was inside another apartment in the complex when police got to the scene. Officers said he started running towards East Elm Street and was taken into custody after a short pursuit.
Police said their investigation revealed the stabbing happened because of a fight between the two teenagers on Facebook.
The victim was taken to UNC Hospitals in Chapel Hill and is listed in stable condition. Police say his injuries do not appear to be life threatening.
The suspect was taken to Alamance Regional Medical Center where he received a couple of stitches to a cut on his finger. From there, he was taken to Alamance County Jail and charged with a Deadly Weapon Inflicting Serious Injury.
He is being held under a $200,000.00 secured bond.

Jeremy Lamb is back on track.
After a challenging rookie season that saw him spend more time in the NBDL than the NBA, the former UConn guard may be figuring into the Thunder's plans for next season.
Lamb scored 32 points in OKC's Summer League game against Philadelphia on Wednesday, just three shy of the all-time Orlando league record, which was set by teammate Reggie Jackson a few days earlier. He also hit a game-winning shot that propelled the Thunder to a one-point win over the Magic earlier in the week.
His performance has Oklahoma City execs thinking about giving him a shot in the rotation next season. The Thunder may be grooming him for that role, having balked at offering a new contract to veteran shooting guard Kevin Martin, who ended up signing with the Minnesota Timberwolves.
With no clear answer at shooting guard and precious little cap space, the Thunder could turn to Lamb to play the role that James Harden once had as the third scoring option. OKC fans are already buzzing about that possibility.
Harden was traded to Houston following the 2011 season after failing to come to terms on a long-term contract with Oklahoma City. While with the Rockets, Harden has morphed into one of the league's best players. The Thunder missed his slashing ability and scoring prowess from the two-guard position last season.
That responsibility could now fall on Lamb, who is entering his second season in the NBA.
If he plays like he has thus far in Summer League, the Thunder will have nothing to worry about.
UConn fans remember when Lamb was the perfect Robin to Kemba Walker's Batman, busting out in the 2011 NCAA Tournament and helping lead the Huskies to the national championship.
If that Jeremy Lamb shows up in Oklahoma City, he's got a chance to stick as a key rotation player on a championship-contending team.
And UConn fans would finally have the chance to watch him play.

The faithful few have gathered on the morning before the election to watch England in the Rugby World Cup Final and tensions are running high for more reasons than one. Why does Jake, the first team prodigy, leave the room every time Jonny Wilkinson takes a kick? Why has Dave stopped drinking? And why have only seven people turned up to watch the game of the century? Adapted from the play of the same name, this sparky and engaging comedy returns to that golden morning when the unthinkable happened and England were victorious.

The Other America
By PHILIPP MEYER
Published: August 19, 2012
By Chris Hedges and Joe Sacco
Illustrated. 302 pp. Nation Books. $28.
This book is a collaboration between Chris Hedges and Joe Sacco, showing us daily life in four centers of 21st-century American poverty. Hedges' contribution -- a combination of reportage and commentary -- is in a long tradition of literary journalism. Sacco's is the sort of graphic art popularized by Art Spiegelman in ''Maus.'' Both writers have decades of experience as correspondents in war zones, but in ''Days of Destruction, Days of Revolt'' they turn their attention to the bombed-out and collapsed areas of their own country.
Sacco's sections are uniformly brilliant. The tone is controlled, the writing smart, the narration neutral; we are allowed to draw our own conclusions. Hedges sees this book as a call to revolution, and as with most works in which the author's philosophical and political beliefs are aired in an unfiltered manner, a lot of what you appreciate about Hedges' writing will depend on how closely you identify with his politics.
From my point of view -- and perhaps I could be accused of not being political enough -- this is unfortunate. This is an important book. But it is at its best when simply presenting the facts.
Anyone who grew up near a postindustrial area -- who has seen a middle-class town become a pocket of destitution -- will not find any one chapter in this book too shocking. What is shocking is the degree to which this depth of poverty is found everywhere, from rural Indian reservations to near-slave conditions in Florida tomato fields. These are not pleasant stories. They are the very sort of thing we all prefer to forget so that we can focus on our daily lives, and this makes it all the more important that they are recorded.
The first chapter opens with a sketch of life on the Pine Ridge Lakota reservation in South Dakota. As it follows the lives of various people on the reservation, weaving between history and personal narration, we see the rise of the American Indian Movement (AIM), its eventual collapse and how people today have learned to live with the consequences.
Hedges' rage here is palpable, as is his sympathy with his subjects, and occasionally the tone gets a little strident. But as the book continues, the polemics fade. The second chapter brings us into Camden, N.J., telling the story of its decline and abandonment by the powers that be; the third chapter does the same for West Virginia, focusing on coal mining's economic, social and environmental effects. The fourth chapter, which covers human slavery in the Florida tomato fields, is the most shocking.
The book's final chapter takes place in New York City, at the center of the Occupy Wall Street movement. Hedges believes this was a turning point in American history, and there is an insider feel, something almost Woodstockian in the tone. Hedges' take is that the seeds of a revolution were sown in Zuccotti Park, but those who saw the events from the outside might be more reminded of the protests against the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
By the end of this book, I found myself preferring Sacco. Maybe even more so than in his other work, he allows characters and situations to speak for themselves. If you are a close reader, his point of view is clear, but it is controlled in such a way that you are allowed to disagree with him.
Hedges is a serious writer and thinker, and as in his seminal work, ''War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning,'' he is brilliant at depicting human life at the extremes of existence -- from war to grinding poverty -- and explaining the effects on the human psyche. But if in that book he was more like a teacher, in this one he is high priest. We're given little room to form our own opinions. ''There are no excuses left,'' he says in the final chapter. ''Either you join the revolt or you stand on the wrong side of history.''
How you react to being ordered to join the revolt will determine a lot of what you think about this book. If you're a believer, it will all be fuel for the fire, but the people who would learn the most from these stories will very likely have trouble getting past the first pages. I couldn't help wondering about conservative friends of mine, their children and other folks who might have read this book if the tone had been less strident. But maybe that is the problem with all calls to revolution: You hear them only if you want to.

Protesters defy food-sharing ban in El Cajon
"If hep A was as big a concern as they're saying it is, they'd have bathrooms."
Dave Rice 9 a.m., Nov. 20
(Page 2 of 2)
"Horrible mistake," replied Madruga. He had his crew rig for bad weather. They tied down every loose object on deck and double-tied hatches and lifeboats; this, it turns out, was accomplished just in the nick of time.
A "hellish" storm lashed the fleet, recalled Ed. "And when I say rough, really, I know what rough weather is, and believe me, it's a terrible, terrible ocean that kicks up there."
Violent winds churned the green water iron-gray to the horizon and beyond. Foam turned the troughs between swells white as snow. Gusts buckshot anyone on deck with salt and sand, and could flick a man overboard in a flash.
The fleet scattered into a thousand whitecaps and vanished out to sea. Each had radio equipment, but since few men knew Morse code, several lost touch. The commander's decision had SNAFU written all over it. "They were actually lost," Ed Madruga remembered. "A couple almost went down."
To traverse 25- and 30-foot vertical faces, skippers angled their bows to the southwest. They kept the wind off their portside quarter and climbed the canyon-like walls of water on a diagonal. The narrow lane over swells was the only safe course: too far left or right, they'd capsize.
The maelstrom blew for days. Every minute demanded lifesaving decisions at the helm. If Tehuantepec was a boot camp, the tuna "fleet" didn't need one. Proof came between eight and ten days later as, one by one, the clippers trickled into Panama's Balboa Harbor. All were battered and dazed but intact, thanks to medal-worthy, "blue water" seamanship.
(The Navy is the Navy, and an order is an order. About a year later, YP-289 was in a large convoy off the New Hebrides. When a huge storm blew, the admiral in an aircraft carrier radioed that he'd set the course. And he did, right into the tempest. "But he was in an aircraft carrier," says Ed Madruga's wife, Lucile. "Ed remembered the debacle at Tehuantepec, and said, 'The hell with him. I'm setting my own course.' And he did.")
Another SNAFU greeted the first clipper to arrive at Panama. When captain Frank Gonsalves steered the Liberty (YP-278) into Balboa Harbor, "we went through a minefield we didn't even know was there."
More confusion followed. Instead of patrolling, YP-289 lay at anchor "doing absolutely nothing," says Ed. "Nobody knew what the hell was going on."
Several days later, the Navy ordered YP-289 and five other clippers back to San Diego to be refitted for the Pacific theater.
The Campbell Machine shipyard "put a few more tools on the boat," Madruga laughed. "A handful, to be honest." They put two .50 caliber machine guns astern and replaced a bolted down, .20 millimeter cannon on the bow with two .50 caliber cannons. The "pea-shooters" were holdovers from WWI. "They'd get red-hot," says Madruga. "We'd dunk [one] in a barrel of water and put another that's cool back on."
YP-289 had six depth charges stacked astern on racks above the bait tanks, where the chummer tossed sardines and anchovies to attract tuna. Along with ammonia gas catching fire in the refrigeration system, the "ash cans" were a major worry: "A collision on a dark night or a shell from a plane hitting the charges would have blown a clipper to matchsticks."
YP-289 sailed in a convoy to Hawaii. When the Madrugas reached Pearl Harbor, they saw World War II for the first time. Black clouds of smoke didn't billow from sinking ships, flames didn't spire from the water, and though a surprising number of vessels had been resurrected — the salvage division was trying to refloat the Oglala with a huge crane when they arrived — reminders of the December 7 assault were legion.
Pearl Harbor smelled like old tar. Gallons and gallons of crude oil and high-test gasoline leaked from sunken vessels on Battleship Row. Long streaks with slimy globules, like the tops of mushrooms, stretched for thousands of yards. A grimy black slick a foot deep ran along the shores of Ford Island and around the harbor. Sludge and sticky tar balls, laced with prism-like flecks, gathered where the tide ceased.
Hundreds of men scraped and cleaned the salvaged ships. Each one wore a gas mask.
Mail from the Pacific theater often took months to reach the States, if at all. In every letter the Madrugas wrote home, a censor drew thick black lines across anything that could endanger the war effort. In one that arrived free of editing, Joe wrote his fiancée Adeline, "You could always tell a ship from Pearl by the ring of tar around the hull."
Another sign: patrols were everywhere. Joe enjoyed the occasional cigar. MPs warned him that if he even tried to light one up — the fire hazard was so severe — they had orders to shoot him where he stood. Neither MP smiled.
In late April, YP-289 sailed for American Samoa, that telltale ring of tar on the hull. For the next four years, the small, badly armed tuna boat would ferry troops and provisions through submarine-infested waters.
Next time: From Turkeys to TNT.

European stock markets were mixed on Tuesday as investors digested company news and were cautious ahead of US aluminium giant Alcoa kicking off the quarterly earnings season. In afternoon deals, London's benchmark FTSE 100 index of top companies rose 0.13 percent to 6,072.53 points, and the Paris CAC 40 advanced 0.48 percent to 3,722.33. However Frankfurt's DAX 30 index slid 0.05 percent to 7,728.58 points The European single currency fell to $1.3077, compared with $1.3115 late in New York on Monday. And on the London Bullion Market, gold prices firmed to $1,653.75 per ounce, from $1,645.25. "There is an element of caution in the markets ... with Alcoa to kick of the reporting season tonight," said analyst Craig Erlam at trading group Alcoa. With the US fiscal crisis out of the way until talks next month on raising the country's borrowing limit and cutting spending, eyes are now on the upcoming earnings season and economic indicators. "With little else to focus on at the moment, investors are looking more closely at the companies for signs that they have successfully weathered the recent storms and are in a strong position when the economy picks up," added Erlam. European indicators were mixed. The unemployment rate in the eurozone hit a record 11.8 percent in November, as expected, but eurozone and EU retail sales edged up in November and economic confidence improved in December. In London, global miner Anglo American named AngloGold Ashanti boss Mark Cutifani as its new chief executive to succeed Cynthia Carroll with effect from April. Australian Cutifani, 54, has been chief executive officer of South Africa-based gold producer AngloGold Ashanti since 2007, during which time he has led a major restructuring of the business. Anglo's share price surged 2.35 percent to 2,047 pence in London as investors welcomed the appointment of a highly respected leader in the global mining industry. "The new CEO comes with a proven track record and the confirmation of his appointment has contributed to a spike in the share price," noted analyst Richard Hunter at British brokerage Hargreaves Lansdown. "Investors will now be hoping that the fortunes of Anglo American can be revived after a period of relative underperformance." Air France-KLM airline reported that firm business in Europe and Asia had enabled it to increase passenger traffic by 2.1 percent last year but also revealed that freight traffic fell by 6.3 percent. In response, Air France-KLM shares fell by 0.7 percent to 7.87 euros in Paris trade. US stocks opened lower on Tuesday with the Dow Jones Industrial Average down 0.21 percent to 13,355.61 after five minutes of trading. The broad-based S&P 500 fell 0.21 percent to 1,458.84, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite edged down 0.03 percent to 3,097.86. Alcoa kicks of the fourth quarter earnings season after the US markets close on Tuesday, but Monsanto reported a 169 percent rise in profit for its quarter to November 30 on strong corn seed sales in the US and Latin America. Its shares surged 3.1 percent to $99.05. Asian equity markets retreated on Tuesday, following overnight losses in New York, as dealers took profits from recent advances while also seeking fresh catalysts.

Lord Dormand of Easington: Will the noble Baroness say what should happen in an area where there is no parish council but a parish meeting? I happen to live in a village where there is a very active parish meeting which is very interested in local affairs. It seems to me that this amendment would deprive those people of the representation about which the noble Baroness properly feels strongly.
Baroness Byford: Indeed, it was my intention that there should be a representative from the parish council. As I say, the parish council is a democratically elected group and elects a person to serve on the local primary school committee. If I am not making sense, I am sorry.
Lord Dormand of Easington: Without wishing to prolong the matter, I am saying that in some areas there is
Baroness Byford: No, indeed, I do not see why they cannot be represented. If I have erred in some way, then I will bring the matter back at the next stage. The whole idea of these amendments is to be inclusive, so that we can have good representation at local level in schools. I have waited hours to speak in this debate. I wondered whether I should be speaking on the day on which I had thought to speak, or the day after. The whole debate is to make sure that the closest elected body is not precluded. At present, the Bill suggests that those people have the chance to be included and they are open-minded on the matter. But they are not there to serve as of right, as they are at present. That is my understanding. I shall wait to hear what the Minister has to say.
Baroness Maddock: I rise to speak to similar amendments standing in my name and those of my noble friend Lord Tope, who cannot be with us, and the noble Lord, Lord Hooson. I shall not reiterate the arguments as they relate to our amendments because the noble Baroness, Lady Byford, has set them out fully and we have heard enough repetition in these debates. We have been heavily lobbied by people outside this House. The noble Lord was concerned about parish meetings. Our proposal is to keep the legislation that already exists. If the noble Lord wishes parish meetings to be included, I suggest that he proposes an amendment. I should be happy to support it. The point is that we do not want to lose the representation that parish councils have now.
Our amendments are slightly different from the Conservative amendments. They include community councils in Wales and give the right to appoint a governor to every school in a parish. The Minister will introduce an amendment which recognises some of the concerns that we all have, and I shall listen carefully to her remarks. However, on examination, and after discussing it with others, it appears not to go quite so far as we should like it to go. It is just a little disappointing. At this time of night, it seems incredibly mean. We have waited until this time to deal with one of the parts of the Bill on which we have been lobbied by many groups. Given the strength of feeling, I cannot understand why the Government cannot go the whole way on this. If I understand correctly, they are saying that they put the matter in the hands of the governors and that minor authorities are given the right to nominate but do not have full nomination rights; the other governors must consider whether they will co-opt the minor authority nomination. I may have got that wrong. This matter was debated in the other place. It is an issue that people care about. Can we have a bit of caring at twenty-five past midnight, please?
Baroness Blackstone: As the noble Baroness, Lady Byford, suggested, I am aware of the strength of feeling among minor authorities about our proposal to withdraw their right to appoint school governors for some categories of primary schools. We have assured them that there will continue to be an opening for minor authority
Turning first to Amendment No. 146D, I am aware that not all LEAs are equally diligent about appointing LEA nominees to governing bodies. It is clearly unacceptable for vacancies to be carried for many months, with the governing body deprived of another useful pair of hands. For this reason, the Government have some sympathy with Amendment No. 146D, which would require an LEA to consult any district, town or parish council covering the area served by the school before appointing LEA governors. But we believe that these matters are more appropriate for guidance on good practice rather than legislation. I hope it is helpful to the noble Baronesses on both the Conservative and Liberal Democrat Benches to say that we intend to encourage LEAs in the strongest terms to be mindful of minor authority links in making their own appointments, particularly where they are having difficulty in identifying sufficient appropriate LEA nominees, as we know they sometimes do. However, we do not feel that legislation would be appropriate as it would impede the ability of democratically elected LEAs to consider freely who should represent them.
It is also the case that the proposed statutory code of practice on LEA-school relations covers appointments to governing bodies. It states that LEAs should publish the process and criteria by which they will identify candidates for appointment as LEA governors and make those appointments promptly. In the guidance we shall issue on reconstituting school governing bodies we intend to give strong encouragement to LEAs to consider minor authority nominees, particularly in cases where they are finding it difficult to fill their places. But a great deal will depend upon local circumstances. To impose a blanket requirement on all LEAs to consult, even in cases where they had no need or intention to open up their lists, would only arouse expectations which could not be fulfilled. Providing another route for minor authorities via LEAs would be confusing and blur accountability at local level.
I should like to turn now to the two different sets of proposals to add minor authority governors or parish or town council governors to school governing bodies. While it is true that we have received a great many representations in favour of maintaining the status quo, both sets of amendments go very much further than that. To accept these amendments would result in minor authorities having considerably more influence on governing bodies than they do at present. Amendments 146G to 146N make no distinction between primary and secondary schools. Maybe that was just a mistake in the drafting. Under existing legislation and under our
I note that the noble Baroness, Lady Maddock, does not suggest that a minor authority governor should be appointed at foundation schools. However, Amendment No. 146J, tabled by the noble Baroness, Lady Byford, would require such schools to have a "parish or town" councillor governor appointed collectively by the parish or town councils covering the area served by the school.
It is a bit surprising that a Conservative amendment should require foundation schools to have a parish or town council governor. As Members of the Committee will appreciate, it is not unheard of for either town or parish councillors to be politically aligned--it is particularly likely in the former case. I fear therefore that this would cut across the undertaking we have already given to GM schools that no more than two local authority appointees should be added to foundation school governing bodies, irrespective of size or circumstances.
The Government gauged very carefully the appropriate level of local authority representation on foundation school governing bodies. The amendment would increase that representation and we understand that such a proposal would be unwelcome to the existing grant-maintained sector. The previous government made no provision for minor authority representation on grant-maintained school governing bodies. The Government do not wish to perpetuate unnecessary divisions between different categories of school. That is why we would wish to give all primary schools the right to decide for themselves whether minor authority representation is appropriate for them.
I note that Amendment No. 146F perpetuates the current unsatisfactory position of joint appointments by minor authorities acting collectively which provides no means of determining a dispute if the parties cannot agree. Those decisions should be made locally, but we know from experience that minor authorities are not always able to secure agreement. To rely on local agreements is unworkable and the Secretary of State does not feel that it should continue to be a function of the department operating from Whitehall to determine disputes of that kind.
I turn now to the Government's amendments relating to minor authority representation. Amendment No. 146U amends paragraph 15 of Schedule 9 to place on the face of the Bill the duty for governing bodies of primary schools serving minor authority areas to consider co-opting minor authority nominees. Where a primary school is served by more than one minor authority, it will be open to the governing body to approach any one or more of those authorities as they see fit. Special provision is made for voluntary-aided schools, which do not generally have
Amendment No. 208A is consequential to Amendment No. 146U. Placing the provisions on minor authority representation on the face of the Bill enables this amendment to Clause 78 to allow for a co-opted governor nominated by a minor authority to be an ex officio trustee at a foundation or voluntary school. That follows the spirit of the existing legislation which allows the governors appointed by foundations, LEAs or minor authorities, to be ex officio trustees at foundation or voluntary schools.
Bringing provision for minor authority representation on the face of the Bill now requires the term "minor authority" to be defined in the Bill. Accordingly, Amendment No. 255C inserts a new clause defining the circumstances under which a maintained school would be regarded as serving an area for which there is a minor authority. I point out to my noble friend Lord Dormand of Easington that a parish meeting will provide the representative where there is no parish council. It provides for minor authorities to be either parish councils or parish meetings where there is no parish council, community councils in Wales or district councils. Town councils are included in the reference to parish councils. Where a school is not situated within a parish or unitary authority, the clause allows for more than one district council to be regarded as a minor authority.
Finally, Amendment No. 257S adds a reference to a minor authority in the index of expressions set out in Clause 131. I would like to assure all concerned that there is no intention to undermine the quality of rural life or indeed to undervalue the enormous contribution which representatives on minor authorities make to their communities or to the schools which serve them. We believe that the majority of primary schools, given the choice, would still wish to include a minor authority governor as a co-opted representative.
We understand the uncertainty that many minor authority interests have felt over the Government's intentions and that is why we have decided, given the very obvious strength of feeling on the issue, to make those intentions clear on the face of the Bill instead of in regulations as originally intended. Alongside those regulations we plan to issue strong guidance urging governing bodies to consider co-opting a minor authority nominee to represent the local community. We also plan to ask LEAs to consider nominating such individuals themselves. We have reflected very carefully on this issue, as I hope what I have said indicates. But on balance we believe that the decision should be left to governing bodies themselves.
As I indicated, we have received a great many representations on this matter although we have received hardly any from the schools themselves and none at all from LEAs. Our proposals for the constitution of governing bodies are consistent with the rest of our proposals for the governing bodies. Our desire is to see schools treated more equitably and to ensure that governing bodies are kept to a reasonable size. By "reasonable size" we mean with sufficient governors to
In the light of what I have said, I hope that the amendment will be withdrawn.

5 Years : From Nov 2012 to Nov 2017
Global food commodity inflation will likely ease in 2012, Moody's Investor Service said Monday, but the rating company warned that food companies might attempt to recapture stronger profits through price increases, after exhausting margin-saving measures.
The ability to pass raw material price increases on to customers has cushioned the food sector over the last year, Moody's said, but slowing demand due to Europe's uncertain macroeconomic situation will make it harder for them to do so in future, and margins could contract if input costs rise again.
The rating company said the price of globally traded commodities rose rapidly in the first half of 2011 and drove input costs higher for many industries, causing margins to contract in the food sector.
Prices for some commodities remain at historically high levels, Moody's said, despite easing on uncertainty over future demand as the pace of economic growth in 2011 and the outlook for 2012 deteriorated.
It said large European and multinational food producers such as Nestle SA (NESN.VX), Unilever PLC (UL) and Danone SA (BN.FR) have been able to mostly offset the effect of dearer inputs by reducing other costs and passing on price increases, albeit with a three- to six-month lag.
Such companies have very strong and diversified portfolios of brands, Moody's said, which often benefit from segment-leading positions and provide more leverage in negotiations with retailers.
Similarly, the rating company said large food retailers such as Tesco PLC (TSCO.LN) and Carrefour SA (CA.FR) have been able to adjust to food inflation by enhancing their offering mix, cutting costs, starting new promotions and leveraging pricing power over medium and small food producers.
However, these medium and small food producers have cited rising commodity prices and input costs as a constraint on operating profits, because of their limited bargaining power and higher customer concentration.
Companies such as Campofrio Food Group SA (CFG.MC) have had to aggressively cut costs, negotiate hard for price increases, push for increased volumes on lower-margin offerings and develop innovative products or new distribution channels, Moody's said.
Dealing with increasing input costs for these companies is a delicate and sometimes perilous exercise, Moody's said, citing Premier Foods PLC's (PFD.LN) significant volume declines after passing on nearly all input cost inflation.

Anson Carter wasn't in the mood for talking yesterday, a day after being knocked out of his first preseason game with a concussion.
"Not today guys, sorry," Carter told the media.
He's understandably down, having played three shifts before Wade Belak's hard check ended his evening, along with his Oilers audition, at least for now.
"It's unfortunate that it happened," said head coach Craig MacTavish. "It's a setback for Anson, but there's nothing we can do but see how much time we need to throw at it in terms of getting him healthy, firstly, and maybe being in a position as camp progresses to continue to play.
"It's not great timing for him, that's for sure, but these things happen. You have to deal with the circumstances."
Mathieu Roy's night wasn't much better than Carter's - he had to be helped off the ice after a Jeremy Williams shot between the eyes cut him wide open. His swollen forehead looks like it should be carving dinosaur pictures on a cave wall, but at least he can play. He was out there practising yesterday and will accompany the team to Vancouver for tonight's game with the Canucks.
"I heard the guy from Toronto yell at the ref, 'stop the play,' " said Roy, who needed 14 stitches to close the wound. "I couldn't see anything because my arms were around my face and it was dark. Then I lifted myself up and saw blood leaking from my forehead. I was kind of a little worried, but at least I could see."
Roy had concussion problems last season, so he was a little concerned about that, too.
"I had a headache (Tuesday) night, but that was probably from the impact. I feel fine now."
Roy is wearing a visor for now, whether he keeps it long term is another story.
"We'll see. I've been unlucky with sticks in the head and pucks in the face the last couple of months."
Marc Pouliot also needed 14 stitches to close the cut on his mouth after being clipped by Andrew Cogliano's stick.
Jarret Stoll, meanwhile, was wearing a visor in camp and took it off for his first preseason game of the year.
"I feel more into it without one," he said. "I tried it, I wanted to give it a good shot, but I don't think I'll be wearing one."
Even after all the Oilers bloodstains on the ice Tuesday?
"You can get hit by a car walking across the street, you can get hurt a lot of different ways," he shrugged. "If you're thinking the game like that, if you think life is like that, you're bound to get (hurt by) something. You just have to protect yourself out there. But it was one of those games where things we flying and people were bleeding all over the place."

Mary Butcher says it was only later in life that she realised the anguish her grandparents must have suffered during World War One.
Mary, 80, from Hollywell Row, now feels that during the centenary we should pay tribute to people like her grandparents John and Caroline Frost, of The Green, West Row, who had three sons go to war.
The couple married in 1887 and had four daughters and three sons, and all three sons went into the army. One never came back and of the two who did return, one had been reported missing.
Mary said: "It is only in my later years that I have realised the full significance of all this and wonder how my grandparents and the four sisters coped during this sad time and how many other families share a similar experience."
James Frost was the eldest, born 1889, and joined the Army in 1913 as a regular soldier. He was posted to France at the outbreak of the war.
In 1918, while serving in the Royal Artillery, he was lost his left arm in action. Then, while he was recovering from the amputation, the military hospital was captured by German forces and he became a prisoner of war.
But Mary says the family was told he was reported 'missing, presumed dead'. He finally returned home in 1919.
The second son William was a private in the 10th battalion 'The Queen's', the Royal West Surrey Regiment. He died, aged 20, on the August 19, 1917, when his unit was involved in the Battle of Passchendaele.
He is buried at Godewaersvelde, France, and commemorated on his parents' headstone in St Peter's Church, West Row.
Mary added: "The youngest son, my father Arthur, enlisted just after his 18th birthday on the 25th August 1917 and served for about a year.
"To think that their youngest son went to war so soon after William died and then not long after that James was reported missing.
"I was born in 1933 and so I never knew my Uncle William. My father died when I was one, and I do not remember him."
But Mary does remember her Uncle Jim who was a park keeper in Bury St Edmunds' Abbey Gardens.
She recalls: "As a child I was always fascinated by the metal hook that had been fitted to replace the arm that he had lost.
"He was a very good carpenter and I have a cabinet that he made for my parents when they married in 1929."
His daughter, Edna Dennehey, presented his war medals to Bury's Moyses Hall Museum in 2003.
Do you have relatives who served in World War One? We would particularly like to hear of any women who served as nurses. Contact John Henderson at firstname.lastname@example.com or 01284 757821

News Release
RICHFIELD, Pa. - The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency awarded a $348,000 grant to the Richfield Area Joint Authority in Juniata County, Pennsylvania. The funds will be used to replace the existing deteriorated and inadequate drinking water system. The system serves 200 residential and commercial customers in the Village of Richfield.
The existing water system was constructed in the early 1900s, and despite improvements over the years, the system is in need of major rehabilitation. Persistent problems plague the facility, including low water pressure, leaking pipelines, and the inability to flush and clean the system. The Richfield Area Joint Authority is no longer able to maintain adequate water levels in the reservoir and storage tank to provide proper domestic service including fire protection.
The rehabilitation will provide a new drinking water system for the residents in the Village of Richfield. The federal funds will cover 55 percent of the project cost of $633,000.
"Water is a precious commodity, and so necessary to our way of life, that no community should be without the assurance of clean healthy drinking water. It is our goal to protect the health and well-being of citizens and the environment," said W. Michael McCabe, EPA regional administrator.
