Winter injury of small grains often results in severe yield reductions. This study was conducted to determine how planting date and fall fertilization interact to affect winter survival and performance of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). In 1975 'Arrow' wheat was planted in central New York on eight dates ranging from 21 August to 24 October. In 1976 five plantings were made from 31 August to 14 October. In both years 75 kg/ha of K was disked in and then four fertility treatments were band applied at each planting date. These were 0 N and 0 P, 0 N and 20 kg/ha P, 22 kg/ha N and 0 P, and 22 kg/ha N and 20 kg/ha P. At harvest measurements were taken for grain yield, plant height, grain moisture, test weight, and components of grain yield. Wheat planted in mid to late September had greater winter survival and produced significantly more grain with a higher test weight than did later planted wheat. The effects of earlier planting varied between years because of different weather conditions. Grain moisture content increased with planting delay. Planting after the optimum time decreased the number of spikes per square meter both years. This component was closely related to yield and was an indication of the degree of winterkilling. Planting date had variable effects on the number of kernels per spike and kernel weight. Phosphorus alone or with N significantly increased wheat yields and winter survival. This effect was reflected in an increased number of spikes per unit area and increased kernel weight. Nitrogen alone had little effect on yields when compared to unfertilized wheat; and when N was applied with P the results were similar to those from P alone. Test weight generally increased with P but not with N. Phosphorus also hastened grain maturation, while N had no beneficial effect. Nitrogen also did not increase any yield component. As planting date was delayed, the value of P for increasing winter survival, grain yields, and grain maturation became increasingly important, resulting in significant planting date ✕ fertilization interactions for these characteristics.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

Detailed Description:
Previous gestational diabetes (GDM) predisposes affected women to diabetes. Pregnancy, in essence, serves as a metabolic stress test and uncovers underlying insulin resistance and ß-cell dysfunction. Cumulative incidence rates of type 2 diabetes (DM2) among women with a history of GDM vary widely depending on the length of follow up and the underlying risk of diabetes in the population. Like DM2, the incidence of postpartum diabetes appears to be increasing The cumulative incidence of DM2 varied from 2.6 to > 70% in studies with postpartum follow-up ranging from 6 weeks to 28 years. Among women with a history of gestational diabetes, it is generally accepted that race, age, parity, family history of diabetes, pre-pregnancy weight, postpartum obesity, and weight gain are risk factors for developing DM2. Other suspected risk factors include smoking, physical inactivity, diet, and drugs that adversely affect glucose metabolism. Despite the high and increasing rate of DM2 in Louisiana, the medical community does not have reliable estimates of the number of woman living in southern Louisiana who develop diabetes subsequent to GDM. At Woman's Hospital, the investigators had 8246 deliveries in 2007; 7873 mothers (95% of deliveries) were either African American or Caucasian. Of this group of women, 665 were diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus. Thus, around 8.5% of the African American and Caucasian women delivering babies at Woman's Hospital in 2007 had a glucose abnormality. The incidence of diabetes and impaired glucose metabolism in the immediate postpartum period and within 12 months after delivery in this population is unknown. There are no long-term studies performed in Louisiana that have compared the benefits of different screening strategies or evaluated an optimum testing frequency after GDM to reduce the rate of DM2 and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in these high-risk women. The investigators plan to use this study as an outreach effort to provide screening for previous gestational diabetic mothers without adequate medical coverage following delivery.

Postpartum GDM OGTT
200 women with prior GDM in their index pregnancies will undergo postpartum screening assessment. This program will follow these women who are at a high risk of developing DM2 after delivery for 1 year.
Detailed Description:
Women with previous gestational diabetes constitute an ideal group for the development, testing, and implementation of clinical strategies for primary diabetes prevention. One-third to one-half of women with a history of GDM will develop type 2 (DM2) within 3-5 years and 70% will develop DM2 if followed >10 years. Studies have shown that measuring only the fasting glucose level postpartum is not sufficiently sensitive to identify all women who have impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) or DM2. Data presented at the Fifth International Workshop-Conference on GDM indicated that, postpartum, only 34% of the women with IGT or DM2 had impaired fasting glucose and that 44% of those with DM2 had fasting levels below 100 mg/dl (<5.5 mmol/l). The recommended process to detect permanent diabetes in women who have had GDM and who might become pregnant again is a 75-g 2-h oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) 6-12 weeks post partum and every year thereafter. Postpartum management of women with GDM is critical because of their markedly increased risk of DM2 and its comorbidities in the future Follow-up studies of women with GDM are necessary to establish the most efficient and most-effective approach to postpartum screening for type 2 diabetes. This study will examine the diagnostic effectiveness of OGTT-derived glucose tolerance, insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity indices compared with indices derived from fasting values of glucose and insulin in subjects with GDM performed post-partum. We will establish whether post-partum fasting and/or glucose-stimulated indices of insulin sensitivity and secretion most accurately estimate the degree of insulin resistance relative to ß-cell function in all race/ethnicity groups of women after delivery of a pregnancy complicated by gestational diabetes and predict their risk for development of diabetes and CVD. .Primary Objective1) We will identify, recruit and test 100 individuals with prior GDM in order to:§ Determine the best way to assess glucose tolerance disorders' prevalence after pregnancy complicated by GDM in southern Louisiana.§ Determine the most effective screening strategy to identify those women with prior GDM who develop or are at high risk for developing DM2 and comorbidities postpartum.A 2 hr, 75-gram OGTT with measurements of insulin and glucose will be performed at their 6-12 week and 1-year post-delivery check-up; this will be compared with the results of their single fasting glucose and insulin value.Secondary Objectives1) We will measure cardiometabolic markers (lipids, blood pressure) in the COPS-GDM study in order to:§ Identify the frequency and value of CVD risk markers in women with glucose abnormalities persisting after pregnancies with GDMGlucometabolic perturbations carry a particularly high risk for metabolic syndrome in women with prior GDM. Woman with prior GDM shown to have higher blood pressure and an altered lipid profile with increased LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels and decreased HDL cholesterol levels that correlate with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors2) We will measure anthropometric measures (body weight, BMI, abdominal girth) and liver aminotransferase levels (ALT, AST) in order to:§ Determine if there is a higher prevalence of postpartum glucose abnormalities in women with prior GDM predicted by BMI category and/or abdominal adiposity § Determine if elevated abnormal aminotransferase activity is more prominent in prior GDM women and the relationship to subsequent diabetes Former gestational diabetic mothers when compared with women with no history of GDM are found to have higher body mass index (BMI) and visceral adiposity. The distribution of postpartum glucose abnormalities by BMI category was found to be more common with increased BMI.3) We will investigate the impact of breastfeeding in women with a prior GDM on glucose tolerance and CVD risk factors to:§ Determine if lactation has immediate and long-term favorable effects in this patient population postpartum.Breast-feeding has been associated with significantly lower triglyceride level, higher HDL cholesterol, lower total cholesterol/HDL ratio, lower mean fasting glucose, and lower prevalence of any postpartum abnormality of glucose tolerance, including diabetes. Breastfeeding has also been reported to lower the rate of overt diabetes developing later in life in women with a history of gestational diabetes.

Grassless Cataouatche no fun to fish, frustrated anglers say
Bass still there, says biologist
October 11, 2013 at 9:15 am | Mobile Reader | Print
(Left) A photo taken of fishermen on Lake Cataouatche in 2008 shows plenty of grass on the lake. By 2012 (right) most of the grass has disappeared. Anglers now say that fishing in the lake has dropped off drastically.
Now the vegetation that concentrated so many bass has vanished — and some say the fishing opportunities have disappeared along with the hydrilla.
Luling angler Steve Rockweiler began fishing Cataouatche in the 1950s and saw it change over the years as saltwater intrusion and coastal erosion began bringing in different species of fish and forcing the freshwater varieties elsewhere.
But when the Corps of Engineers built the Davis Pond Freshwater Diversion to inject fresh water from the Mississippi River into the area, the ecosystem changed back to its original makeup.
Rockweiler said after freshwater again began flowing into the estuary, fish populations, especially largemouth bass, began to take off.
"When they built the Davis Pond Diversion and started flowing water back into it in 2002 it got back to what it was in the '50s and '60s," he said. "It got back to the real good freshwater fishing."
Around 2007, the Corps of Engineers made some alterations to the freshwater diversion by adding additional canals to feed fresh water in the lake straight from the Mississippi River. After that, the hydrilla covering the lake began dying off.
"We were just getting some interest in how this place can be a world-class fishery for seven or eight years and now it's the Dead Sea," Rockweiler said. "I've got people all over the country calling me wanting to come in (to fish Cataouatche) and I am not going to tell them to come in here."
Melissa Kaintz, operations manager for the inland fisheries section of Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries, said that changes made by the Corps, while not proven to be the cause of the shift in the ecosystem, are a very likely culprit.
"We can at this point only speculate that (the die-off of hydrilla) does seem to coincide with increased use of the Davis Pond Freshwater Diversion and some modifications that were made to that project," Kaintz said.
Kaintz said that muddy Mississippi River water now pouring directly into the lake without passing through the sedimentation pond more-than-likely blocks out the sunlight hydrilla need to thrive.
"The turbid water blocks out any sunlight from penetrating the water column and hydrilla and other aquatic vegetation need sunlight to grow," she said. "The more turbid that water stays, if it doesn't clear up at all during the growing season, then (vegetation) won't grow."
Some local fishermen have claimed the LDWF is responsible for the loss of vegetation on the lake because of past herbicide treatments of the hydrilla.
Kaintz said that while LDWF did treat parts of the hydrilla, they only did so to create thoroughfares for boaters. She said the agency has not treated the area since 2007.
"The last time Wildlife and Fisheries or anyone that we know of treated aquatic vegetation was in 2007. At that point the lake was about 98 percent covered," she said. "We were getting complaints that people couldn't even drive their boat through the lake."
Luling's Bruce McDonald has been fishing the area for decades and said Classic champion VanDam loved fishing the lake.
"The fishery used to be unbelievable," McDonald said. "I rode in the Bassmaster's Classic when VanDam won it. He said it was the best fishery in North America and we went from a 10 to zero in two and a half years."
In McDonald's opinion, the problem with Lake Cataouatche is due to a number of variables, including increased pollutants that occur from allowing more Mississippi River water to come in to different areas.
"The lake looks big, but it is only 6 miles long by 4 miles wide. When you start combining all of the impacts, something is going to give," McDonald said. "The Corps supposedly did something; combine that with pollution, overfishing, water clarity — a lot of factors have combined to hurt that lake."
At the same time, McDonald said there are fish in the lake, but the disappearance of the vegetation has kept anglers away.
"I fished it earlier this week and did real well, but at the same time there was nobody on the lake," he said. "I had it all to myself. It used to be they would have 100 boats out there."
Kaintz backed up McDonald's contention that the bass haven't simply evaporated. She said the most recent electrofishing studies showed there has not been a decrease in the fishery population.
"We've been doing a pretty extensive study out there on largemouth bass over the past three years and we have not seen a decrease in the population," she said.
She said the harvest rate at Lake Cataouatche has been low over the past few years, a fact that should provide plenty of opportunities to catch largemouth bass in the area for those anglers who ignore the absence of hydrilla.
However, Kaintz said that because the ecology of the area has changed, anglers might have to adjust their approach to catching largemouth bass.
"We can understand how it would be more difficult to catch fish because there are not these grass beds where they can target the fish. So the fish are more randomly spread out and it is harder to target those bass," she said.
While it seems unlikely the hydrilla will make a comeback anytime soon, Kaintz said there is some good news for other local bodies of water.
"There is not much we can do about (the Cataouatche situation), (but) I have heard some reports that (anglers) are starting to see grass growing in Lake Salvador," she said. "There may be more of shift into that area."

VC investment slides in October, says GSA
3 comments
LONDON Six semiconductor companies raised $80.4 million, a dollar amount decrease of 11.2 percent from September 2010 and an increase of 16.2 percent from October 2009, according to the Global Semiconductor Alliance (GSA). The number of deals decreased by two both sequentially and compared with October 2009.
The GSA classifies semiconductor companies as including fabless companies, integrated device manufacturers (IDMs) and semiconductor suppliers, such as EDA firms and foundries.
As of October 31, ten semiconductor companies had priced and nine had filed and were awaiting IPO, the industry body said.
In October 2010, ten semiconductor mergers and acquisitions were announced. The GSA counts M&As of entire fabless, IDM and semiconductor supplier companies and does not include purchases of business units, product lines or foundry facilities.
There was evidence of a greater likelihood of privately-held companies exiting through an M&A than an IPO in October. Broadcom and PMC-Sierra acquired companies that filed IPOs earlier this year Beceem and Wintegra respectively, the GSA noted.

BUILDERS have begun demolition of a long fought over church.
The Victory Gospel Church in North Baddesley had been the subject of six previous planning applications before Test Valley Borough Council planners gave the go-ahead to knock it down against the wishes of some residents.
It is being demolished for three detached homes to be put in its place.

The actual scoreboard showed that Roslyn won by 17 points. The motivational scoreboard read: "Roslyn 1, Seeding Committee 0."
The chants echoed in the hallway outside of the Roslyn locker room after Wednesday night's win: "12th seed . . . Forget the committee! 12th seed . . . Forget the committee!"
Those 12th-seeded Bulldogs, now headed for the county championship game, believe they beat the oddsmakers, not the odds. "We love it," Roslyn center Mark Gjonlekaj said of the low seed his team was given. "That's our motivation."
A motivated Gjonlekaj scored 19 points, including the final 10 for the Bulldogs, and had eight rebounds and three blocks as Roslyn beat No. 8 South Side, 59-42, in a Nassau Class A semifinal at SUNY-Old Westbury.
"We really don't have an opinion on other people's opinions," Roslyn coach Craig Murphy said of the seeding. "We set our goals and we're happy to be where we are now."
South Side cut the deficit to 49-41 with 2:35 left in the fourth on Paul Pandolfi's layup. Gjonlekaj answered with a pair of free throws, and on the ensuing possession, spun into the paint and hit a baby hook plus a free throw for the three-point play to seal it.
Andrew Slutsky added 15 points, including a layup through three defenders to give Roslyn a 41-22 lead with five minutes left in the third.
"I think everyone else is surprised we are here, but not us," Slutsky said. "Since we picked up our defense halfway through the season, there's been no stopping us."
Terrance Pierce added 10 points for Roslyn.
Pandolfi scored 10 of his 16 points in the third quarter and Gerald Mitchell finished with 12 points for the Cyclones (9-8).
Roslyn (15-4), which has won its three playoff games against higher seeds by an average margin of 15.7 points, advances to play No. 2 Jericho at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday at Hofstra.
"You gotta love it," Gjonlekaj said of the win. "People in the stands are probably wondering, 'What are they doing as a 12 seed?' "
The committee now may be wondering the same thing.

Tilikum, whose name means "friend" in the Native American language Chinook, has killed before – always unwittingly. Dawn Brancheau, a 40-year-old trainer at SeaWorld in Orlando, was killed by a killer whale at the beginning of a performance. Eyewitness accounts differ, but she was reportedly dragged into the water, shaken violently and kept underwater until she drowned. The whale, Tilikum, is the largest in captivity and has been involved in two fatal incidents prior to this one. In 1999, a park visitor hid at SeaWorld until closing and jumped into the pool with the whale. The man was found dead in the pool the next morning and had suffered hypothermia and scrapes from being dragged along the pool's bottom. Eight years earlier, Tilikum was one of three whales who drowned Keltie Byrne, a 21-year-old trainer, at Sealand of the Pacific, after she slipped and fell into the pool. In 1991, a marine biology student and part-time trainer fell into his tank in Canada and was dragged under by Tilikum. The whale and two females blocked her from getting out of the pool and tossed her back and forth in the air between them like a toy. In 1999, there was a case so bizarre it made headlines around the world: A man sneaked into Tilikum's pool at SeaWorld and his naked corpse was found the next day splayed on the whale's back.

Saint Mary's Benefactor Howard J. Korth Dies
Howard J. Korth, a generous benefactor of Saint Mary's College who contributed to several large campus projects, including the Korth Academic Center in the renovated Arcade and the Korth Tower, passed away in his home in Piedmont, California on February 15 at the age of 90.
Korth was a President's Club member and a regent from 1981 to 1996; he became a regent emeritus in 1996. He contributed to the Timothy Korth Tennis Complex at Saint Mary's, named for his son, who preceded him in death. He and his wife, Geraldine, also established the Korth Family Endowed Basketball Scholarship, which benefits men's basketball players, and the Korth Family Endowed Tennis Scholarship.
He was born in Saginaw, Michigan, in 1920 and graduated from the University of Notre Dame, where he studied engineering and business management and played football for the Fighting Irish. He served in the Navy and was honored with the Navy and Marine Corps Medal of Heroism. After World War II, he became an aviation pioneer. He founded AAXICO airlines in the late 1940s and later acquired or merged with Saturn Airways, Trans International Airlines and ultimately Transamerica Airlines, the largest charter airline in the world. He retired in 1985.
Korth supported numerous Catholic educational and charitable programs, including Saint Mary's, Notre Dame and the Cathedral of Christ the Light in Oakland, while also helping needy seniors and children.
Korth is survived by his daughter Barbara Hegarty (George) of Pleasant Hill, Calif.; his son Eric Korth (Susy) of Granbury, Texas; his son John Korth (Cheryl) of Troy, Mich., and 23 grandchildren and spouses and 28 great-grandchildren for a total of 51. He was preceded in death by his son, Timothy, and his parents, William and Edith Korth; his brothers Raymond, William, Alvin and James; and his wife, Geraldine.
A memorial Mass was held on February 21 at the Corpus Christi Roman Catholic Church in Piedmont, Calif. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that gifts be made in Memory of Howard Korth to Sutter VNA Hospice, 1900 Powell St., Ste 300, Emeryville, CA 94608, or to a charity of your choice.

Speaking to John Pieenar on Five Live, Boris Johnson said he wished to deal with the leadership speculation, shoot it down with "six inch guns". He did so by repeatedly refusing to say that David Cameron is doing a better job than he would have done. He was behind Cameron "from the very beginning," he said – perhaps so, but not the question he was asked. And the fun began:-
In fact, he said, there is an upside that everyone was talking about his destabilising David Cameron. It is "entirely natural" that "there should be a narrative" because it kept the focus on the Tories and off Ed Miliband. (Labour made the same argument about Blair vs Brown tension).
Boris closed by saying the leadership speculation is a "distraction" – but one he's quite happy with. "I'm going to be supporting David Cameron," he said. And the fact that he has to say that, of course, speaks volumes.

Few people drive Highway 33; even fewer make the run from end to end. Highway 1, dancing along the coast, offers better scenery, and Interstate 5, a more-or-less parallel route, greater speed and efficiency. No, this is a workaday road, a highway for short-haul truckers and agricultural sales reps, for convoys of harvesters, vans shuttling prisoners and even the occasional lone tractor.

Alerted to danger, the snake coils up, vibrates its tail and hisses a warning. The Gopher snake can also spread and flatten its head, thereby resembling a rattler even more.

The organizers of the show contacted me to see if I could get Spanish wineries willing to be exhibited at the 2ème édition du salon virtuel du vin WineFair.com in Paris.
The idea seemed interesting to me because the world that I proclaimed turns around internet.
With this proposal I approached several wineries, some said they would have to think about it, some others said a straight no, only Estrella Orti from Gosalbez-Orti winery (Madrid), was willing not only to participate as speaker but as a conference lecturer, presenting her winery and the whole project around wine production.
Estrella gave an excellent presentation in French, explained the basis of her winery, the philosophy evolving wine (they produce high quality organic wines which are distributed in 13 countries) and above all, they are strongly committed to wine tourism.
To hear the conference click here (in french)
Bodega Qubél Conference Ir a descargar
And the questions are: How did it go with Bodega Gosálbez Orti at the virtual fair? How can you measure the effectiveness of their active presence at the fair? Well, main evaluation comes by the number of hot contacts obtained at the fair , the degree of general interest shown by the visitors , the number of appointments generated , the future encounters with actual clients , the number of direct and indirect sales generated, by general observation and what one has seen along the event, and finally for the direct feeling of what is being done in the wine sector .
In no case Gosálbez Orti is going to provide data , on this or any other fair event. The knowledge of how well it worked in a specific fair is an asset to the winery that gets involved.
You should keep in mind that we are talking about a virtual wine trade show, something totally new in the wine market. But Gosalbez-Orti winery is different for many reasons others than shown in their blog winetoursmadrid.com and Facebook bodega qubel , but for being the only Spanish winery who attended this event and have a much more entrepreneurial sense than the rest of thousands of wineries in Spain . Getting into this kind of adventures gives them a much better and clearer differentiation.
Among wine producers the world game in 2011 tends for quality and many more attributes, like the very important fact of standing out from competition.
I also participated as a speaker at the fair show and my participation had an added difficulty that gave me more challenge to my statements. This was about my difficulty of speaking French and not being able to communicate as fluent as Estrella did in her speech. For this reason we agreed that my questioning would have to be made in French and I would respond in English. Besides this minor problem, the whole virtual wine fair was a nice experience and I hope to hang soon a post after fixing some trouble I had with the edited audio.
I invite my readers to visit, taste and drink the wines from Bodega Gosálbez Orti, among other qualities, you will find a different winery ", I think it is "unique."

Thaks for this simon!
It would appear that AOL, in all its appauling glory is just not good enough for use by AOL-Time warner staff.
IN A humbling reversal, AOL Time Warner Inc. is retreating from a top-level directive that required the divisions of the old Time Warner to convert to an e-mail system based on AOL software and run by America Online's giant public server computers in Virginia.
The drive to get all the company's 82,000 employees to use AOL e-mail was an attempt to give symbolic resonance to the marriage of AOL and Time Warner, the largest corporate merger in U.S. history and perhaps the most-scrutinized litmus test for the marriage of the old and new economies.

ARCTIC Monkeys are the first band lined up to appear at next year's T in the Park festival - after topping a poll of acts its audience wanted to see return to the event.
The indie-rock favourites, who are playing a rescheduled show at the Hydro in Glasgow tomorrow, will be headlining the event at Balado three years after they last topped the bill.
The Sheffield band, famed for notching up the fastest-selling debut album in British music history, first played in 2006 at the festival, which celebrates its 20th anniversary next year.
Their headline slot has been confirmed ahead of the next batch of tickets for the three-day event in July going on sale on Friday.
Festival director Geoff Ellis said: "We're thrilled to announce Arctic Monkeys as our first headliners for T in the Park 2014.
"After this year's fantastic celebrations, we asked our audience who they'd like to see at next year's festival and Arctic Monkeys came top of the poll, so we're really pleased to be able to confirm them.
"When they take to the stage in Glasgow this week they'll prove exactly why they're one of the greatest live acts around and I'm sure we can look forward to another phenomenal set. We have many more fantastic acts in store which we'll announce next year."
George Kyle, head of sponsorship at Tennent's, the long-time backers of the festival, said: "This year's T in the Park was one of the best ever and I'm sure we have another wonderful weekend in store next July."

A wonderful wallet for the spendthrift! As everytime the wallet is opened, one of seven jabs or insults is hurled by the Bard. Who wants to be told "thou art as tedious as a fool" whenever they spend money. The Shakespeare wallet features barbs and affronts from Shakespeare's plays. It is made of lightweight Tyvek and is tear-resistant, water-resistant, expandable, and recyclable. There is even an on/off switch for those times when a talking wallet may be inappropriate.

text: Pacific Rim ministers approved a plan today to create the world's largest free-trade zone within 25 years, but they acknowledged the blueprint was vague and did not address some touchy areas. "It will be a slow process since they still have many details to work out and Japan remains opposed to dropping trade barriers," says TIME's Oscar Chiang. "But it was a significant step forward." The summit, which President Clinton had to skip because of his budget battles with Congress, now turns to some thorny political problems. "The next big issue is China and Taiwan," says Chiang. "Chinese Foreign Minister Qian Qichen warned today that they would use force if necessary to unify China. The Chinese will meet with vice-president Gore, who went to Japan in Clinton's place. But the Taiwan question remains the big roadblock to improving U.S.-China relations."

Pop Culture
Hollywood Now: Chris Pine, Rachel Weisz & Ari Graynor, Plus So Many Babies!By Gerri Miller
New flicks with celebs in interfaith relationships and from interfaith backgrounds, plus their baby news!Go To Pop Culture
I was born a political activist in an interfaith family. While my personal connection to Judaism came later in life, there was no mistaking the commitment to social justice in our household. As a child people often commented that my skill at negotiating what I wanted for myself and my siblings (a later bedtime, a larger allowance) meant I would make a good lawyer. Later on I learned the value of negotiating on behalf of real causes as I became concerned about protecting the environment and campaigning for school board candidates. My freshman year of college a fellow Jewish student convinced me to attend a national policy conference being run by Hillel, a Jewish student organization. I had never seen so many Jews in my life as I did at this conference--and they were all interested in politics! I was determined to know why.
One simple quote in the Pirkei Avot, the teachings of the fathers, says, "You are not required to finish the work, neither are you free to desist from it." This sentiment was something I had carried in my heart my whole life. The first time I heard it at that Hillel conference, however, I was able to put my Judaism in context with the other things I valued. I grew up in a Jewish home with Catholic undertones. We had many traditions, and we valued honesty, kindness, love and social justice. My parents may have belonged to different religions, but they were united in teaching us the importance of environmental responsibility and caring for the ill. In Girl Scouts we always said, "look for work," or "leave things better than you found them." In a way I had always been searching for something larger to which I could relate those values.
Since that college experience I have made it my goal to weave my two loves--Judaism and social action--together into as many aspects of my life as possible. In my first year working at Hillel my job was to serve as a resource to Jewish college activists and volunteers. I coordinated the very same public policy conference that first introduced me to my love for Judaism. At Hillel we work to provide meaningful Jewish experiences for Jewish college students around the world. We have learned through this work that one of the most authentic and meaningful ways to reach Jewish students from interfaith families is through engaging them in social justice activities.
The most obvious reason for this, in my opinion, is that many of the interfaith families today are Christian/Jewish mixes, both having strong roots in charity and volunteerism. I certainly felt this commonality when I attended a Jesuit institution as an undergraduate. The similarities in Jewish and Christian value systems made it very easy for me to focus on social justice.
Another reason students from interfaith families are attracted to repairing the world has to do with the nature of an interfaith family. Coming from a background of compromise and understanding--a family in which respecting one another's very different beliefs is a core requirement of a harmonious home--lends itself to a desire to try to bring about that harmony in the wider world as well, and to work for mutual understanding.
However, the most significant reason for which I believe social justice activities are an entry point for Jews from interfaith families is that they are an equalizer. Of all of the ways one can become involved in Judaism--through a synagogue, through life-cycle events, in social settings--social justice activities are the least intimidating. There is no ritual to learn. There is no Jewish in-speak to understand. You are simply giving of yourself in the spirit of tikkun olam, repairing the world.
In early September 2005 when the Gulf Coast was hit by Hurricane Katrina, the Jewish community mobilized immediately to join the relief effort. To lend comfort to those of us struggling with the immensity of the situation, my colleagues in the Conservative movement created a special prayer for victims. Hillels in Houston opened their doors to all Hurricane victims, while students from The Bronfman Center at NYU traveled down to Texas to give their time. At Hillel headquarters a donation campaign began, as well as a call to all Hillels to serve as centers that any displaced students and families--Jewish or non-Jewish--could turn to for assistance. As I write, one of our directors is pairing up students who want to help communities that will need volunteers over Thanksgiving and winter breaks.
Most of these student volunteers do not know anyone personally affected by Hurricane Katrina. They are not going to help only Jewish survivors of the hurricane, but all survivors. They will be working side-by-side with non-Jewish volunteers, and nobody will ask them--"Is your mother Jewish?" They are volunteering because they are rooted in their Jewish values and they believe they are working to repair the world.
As I continue on my journey our community is my inspiration. I keep Judaism in my heart and politics in my soul. Wherever I journey next, I'll be rooted in those social justice values that have shaped who I've become.

However there's still a very long to go.... it may be a cliche but education really is the future, what changes to the world's economics / climate / resources etc. will today's young people see over the course of their lifetimes...?
PACT would be delighted to hear from anyone who feels they may have a contribution to make towards bringing the transition agenda into education in the Penrith & Eden area. Please do get in touch, we'd love to hear from you.

Chapter 1
Apple jack had been daydreaming bout her crush rainbow dash. She was so lost in her toughts that she didn't see the real rainbow dash walk up behind her. "Hey aj
" Rainbow dash stopped when she saw the vacant look in her friend's eyes. "uh, applejack?" rainbow put a hoof on applejack's shoulder, causing her to snap awake. "trees!" she shouted out loud. "anyways
" rainbow continued. "I wanted to show you this new trick I've been practicing, its called the rainbow corkscrew," she said. "uh sure, yeah okay. Rainbow took to the sky, then when she was really high up, she closed her wings and began to drop. Just inches from the ground, she pulled up , but she didn't see the tree until iit was too late. "Rainbow!" Applejack galloped over to the unconcious mare. "Hold on rainbow, Applejack's got ya." Applejack said, putting the mare on her back.
Rainbow's eyelids fluttered open. Oh man, my head
" Rainbow groaned. "oh miss dash, its good to see that you are awake," a voice said. "I am nurse red heart. "Your friend says you took quite the crash. You will be discharged this afternoon, but remember to take it easy, no flying for two weeks." "what?" rainbow dash seemed confused. "Please, leave and take your friend uh dapple jeck.. "Applejack" rainbow corrected. "Applejack, with you. She has been sitting in the lobby for 3 days straight; I have little fillies at home!"
"uh hey applejack," rainbow said as she approached the orange mare. "Oh rainbow, thank celestia you're okay! You really gave me a scare!" applejack said, crushing her friend in a bear hug. " ack
cant..breathe.." rainbow dash inhaled as applejack released her. "hey, uh applejack, do you mind if I crash at your place , seeing a I can't get to mine?" "of course sugar cube, ya'll can stay as long as ya like."
-----Sweet Apple Acres 9:45 pm-------
Rainbow peeked into applejack's room. She couldn't sleep all by herself in that big room. She would never admit it an anypony, but she was scared to be alone. " Applejack. Hey , applejack!" rainbow whispered. "huh? Dash? What's wrong?" Applejack looked worried.
"um I know this may sound weird, but
c-could I um, sleep in here, with you, tonight?"
She asked shyly. "of course, ya'll don't need to ask dash, climb on in!"
The next morning, applejack awoke to find too cyan legs wrapped around her.
She could faintly hear Rainbow dash mumbling in her sleep. "Oh applejack baby, you dirty little mare! No not there
" rainbow began to moan softly, causing applejack to blush.
Several hours later, rainbow awoke to an empty bed. "hm, maybe she's out apple bucking. I think ill go for a walk.
-------white tail woods-----
Rainbow had been walking all day, actually enjoying the scenery. Dusk had started to approach. She suddenly heard a voice. "raiiiiinnnbowww" "huh? Who's there?" rainbow put up her hooves in defense. "raiiinbowww. Come to me."
Suddenly the world went black.

Police and county prosecutors touted a new strategy this week to fight gangs as Chicago's murder rate climbs to 50 percent higher than last year.
State law currently allows officials to tackle one gang crime at a time, but new legislation called the Street Gang Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) bill allows prosecutors to go after gangs as criminal enterprises.
Both the state House and Senate passed the bill, and Police Supt. Garry McCarthy and Cook County State's Attorney Anita Alvarez are calling on Gov. Pat Quinn to sign it.
"It is difficult to watch gang member after gang member, mostly young minority men, convicted and put in prison again and again while leaders of these gangs continue to escape arrest and prosecution," Alvarez said Wednesday.
McCarthy said between 75 and 80 percent of the city's murders are gang-related, fueled by 69 gangs and more than 600 factions.
The bill, they said, will help prosecute gang leaders who order the crimes resulting in high city murder rates.
"We are already looking back at cases we recently took down which may in fact fall into the parameters of this statute," McCarthy said.
But first the bill must become a law. Quinn reportedly has said he will look at it as soon as it hits his desk.

We feel that we owe Russ Martin a pre-emptive apology because, well, we think he's a nice guy. A strange gesture, perhaps, but there's hardly a more damning compliment than that of "nice guy" for someone in talk radio. Martin is the afternoon drive-time host of KLLI-FM 105.3, Dallas' alternative talk station, so anything short of a love/hate relationship with his audience is a dangerous predicament. It's certainly in the best interest of a host and crew to piss off a few people from time to time in order to keep things interesting. Martin does his best (for instance, he suggests that women shouldn't expect an orgasm during sex since anatomy naturally hides their most sensitive of parts "too far inside the garage"), but his listeners tend to laugh with him rather than rail against him. The term "shock jock" is antiquated in our times, but it's still a formula for success. Surely the idea of Martin being a nice guy will signal the kiss of death for a radio program. Except not. The Russ Martin Show consistently rules the ratings for its time slot, and it all comes down to the fact that he, news director and cohort J.D. Ryan and all involved with the show's daily production are reliable friends to those tuned in. The show has a serial quality to it with the hosts' social lives being discussed frankly, especially since Martin's penchant for being able to say what others only think has led to an army of devotees.

So it's not like just any other event when the radio show and its hosts present the annual White Trash Party on Friday at Cowboys Nightclub in Arlington. It's like a reunion of old friends. From a pop-culture standpoint, there's hardly anything that's more played out and picked over than the ironic phenomenon known as "white trash." But Martin and company get a pass, considering their long-standing affinity for the trailer-park tradition and the fact that they have proven they throw one hell of a party. Thematically correct food and drinks will be provided along with entertainment by the Southern rock swagger (and chain saw mastery) of Jackyl, a tribute to AC/DC with Back in Black, local artists Billy Lee Davis and DF Dub, and a psychic named Da Juana Byrd. Dress the part or just come as you are, but you'll have to go a long way to outdo the host: As of press time, Martin hadn't decided on whether he'll be sporting the now-legendary mullet or going with the slightly less predictable cornrows. We'd recommend the 'rows, as it's a bit of a Kid Rock-ish curveball, and, if there's any fashionable justice in the world, the style ultimately will be viewed as "the black man's mullet." If nothing else, it's good to be an equal opportunity offender. "Nice guy" accusations notwithstanding, Martin consistently delivers the best radio show on our dials, so anyone looking for an evening that'll go down as good as a grilled cheese sandwich should get cleaned up and trash out with him and the crew this weekend.

'Anomaly: Warzone Earth' Game Review
By now most everyone is sick of Tower Defense games. They seem the go-to genre for smaller developers and we've been inundated with subpar entries, perhaps because it's easy to think of a new gimmick or theme for them and slap right on. In my mind nothing much has bested Desktop Tower Defense, the original browser game which almost single-handedly kicked off the popularity of the style, although there have been a few notable exceptions like Plants Vs. Zombies and Pixeljunk Monsters.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Santa Clara County FireSafe Council, San Jose, CA, USA
I became involved in the Santa Clara County FireSafe Council several years ago to help prevent wildfires in the Alum Rock Park area near our home. Later, as I became involved in more county-wide activities of the council, I was elected Treasurer and a member of the Board of Directors. The Santa Clara County FireSafe Council is funded by federal grants and by contributions from companies, foundations, organizations and individuals who are interested in prevention wildfires. Thanks to these collaborative efforts, SCFSC has made significant progress in protecting homes and communities from wildfires. Our mission is Mobilizing the people of Santa Clara County to protect their homes, communities and environment from wildfires. We do Community Outreach and Education and provide free Chipping Programs to help people create and maintain Defensible Space around their homes and communities. You can help us by volunteering for community events or by contributing to or helping organize chipping projects. See www.SCCFireSafe.org for more on our council. It is a good way to learn more about wildfire prevention and help protect your home and community.

For the past decade we've treated the Sedin twins like they were conjoined. All that changed early last season when Daniel went down with injury.
Suddenly, Henrik had the spotlight to himself and promptly parlayed that into the greatest individual season ever by a Canuck. Daniel was forced to settle for what might have been.
So no surprise he's changed the conversation from what might have been to the reality of pushing for 40 goals. Dare I say 50?
To me it appears he's come in with a tiny chip on his shoulder this season.
It couldn't have been easy sitting next to Henrik late in the year, swarmed by the media, listening to his brother being compared to the likes of Crosby and Ovechkin.
But something tells me there is a bit of an agenda at work here that involves Henrik looking for his brother on the ice more than usual perhaps a spotlight reversal?
As great a teammate as Henrik is something tells me he's even a better brother.

A red-tailed hawk that flew into an open window at a Manhattan apartment building was released in Central Park on Monday afternoon.
The bird caused quite a stir after it flew into the five-story building on West 80th Street.
Tenant Joe Moderski said he thought he had missed a pillow fight because there were so many feathers in the hallway.
Moderski said he arrived home around 3:30 p.m. Sunday to find the hawk outside his top-floor apartment.
He said he ran after the raptor flew at him, just missing his face.
Police tried unsuccessfully to catch the hawk by tempting it with bread crumbs.
Two Emergency Service police officers eventually caught the bird and took it to the city's Animal Care and Control center.
The bird had been in the care of the Wild Bird Fund, which said it did not lose any of its "primary flight feathers" and was therefore able to be released back into the wilds of the city.

TOQUERVILLE – Walter Curtis Lichfield, 83, passed away on February 20, 2011, from emphysema. Walter was born September 23, 1927. Walter grew up in Star Valley, Wyoming and in Weber County, Utah. Walter proposed and sent a engagement ring to his high school sweetheart, Wilma Browning, when he was serving in the military in China. He also sent silk from China for her wedding dress. They were married April 14, 1949, in the Logan LDS Temple. Walter loved teaching religion at South Cache High Seminary for 10 years. Walter retired after 27 years working at Hill Air Force Base in Clearfield, UT. Walter's passion was his 50 year project of putting the King James Version of the Bible in chronological order without modern technology. Walter published his chronological version of the Old and New Testament which serves as an excellent study guide for the Christian scholar. Walter is a WWII veteran which he served in Tsing Tao, China as a sergeant in the Marines. Walter and his wife returned to where he was stationed in China 50 years later. Some of his scholastic honors due to his high IQ was honor roll at Weber State College, a Bachelor's Degree from USU and a Master's Degree in Church History at BYU. He was only 20 hours from his Doctorate in Church History at BYU but dedicated his life to raising his large family of 13 children, and saw this as his crowning achievement. Walter's Master's Thesis on Thomas B. Marsh can be found in the online archives at BYU. Walter's professor said that Walter's thesis was one of the most well researched papers that ever graced the BYU library. Walter enjoyed publishing his creative works which included song lyrics, how-to books, world creation theories, life stories and illustrated bear stories for kids. The Walter C. Lichfield building named in his honor is an extension of Dixie State College in Hurricane. Following in his father's footsteps, he enjoyed planting trees on the properties where he lived. Walter and Wilma moved 41 times. Some of the areas they lived are Utah, Nevada, Wyoming and San Diego, California. Walter and Wilma served three LDS missions: Rochester, New York, Tucson, Arizona and the Lost Sheep Mission at the St. George Temple. Walter had a missionary heart and shared his testimony of the gospel where ever he went. He was known to have a case of Book Of Mormons in his trunk of his car. As Walter traveled throughout the world, he was prepared to give the various language editions of the Book of Mormon to the people whom he would meet. With a warm smile and outgoing personality Walter befriended many. He is survived by 11 children, 43 grandchildren and 38 great grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his two sons, his parents and four siblings. Closed casket funeral services were held Thursday, February 24, at Lichfield Lane in Shangri-La Valley, Toquerville Heights, in the gymnasium's foyer near Wilma and Walter's Cottage. Interment at Providence Cemetery in River Heights, Utah at 3 p.m. Friday March 25th 900 East River Heights Blvd.. The family would be honored if any of Brother Lichfield's Seminary Students, local friends and relatives attend the 21-gun salute in Walter's honor as a war veteran followed by dedication of the grave by Morgan High School graduate Brent Lichfield. .

text: (Adds table, details from IBGE report, context) By Rodrigo Viga Gaier RIO DE JANEIRO, Aug 1 (Reuters) - Brazilian industrial output dropped in June for a fourth straight month as automobile production plunged, in a further sign of the downturn in the country's economy, Latin America's largest. Output at factories and mines in June fell a seasonally adjusted 1.4 percent from May, slightly less than expected, statistics agency IBGE said on Friday. The last time industrial output shrank for four straight months was in mid-2010. May's drop was also revised to 0.8 percent, from a previously reported 0.6 percent. The soccer World Cup, which ran from June 12 to July 13, was a setback for the factories as some cities ordered holidays ahead of major matches, reducing the number of working days. But it was not the single reason for the drop. "The Cup only added fuel to the industry's downturn, which has been caused by high inventories, low confidence, weak domestic demand, unfavorable scenarios overseas and tight credit," IBGE economist André Macedo told journalists. Manufacturing has been the weakest link in Brazil's economy despite a string of tax breaks and other government subsidies. Industrial output is expected to drop more than 1 percent in 2014, which could tip Brazil into a recession and send unemployment higher, according to many economists. Brazilian factories, particularly car makers, were also affected by the recession in Argentina. Automobile production dropped 12.1 percent in June from May, driving output of durable consumer goods down by a steep 25 percent, IBGE said in a note.
