Microcantilever equipped with nanowire template electrodes for multiprobe measurement on fragile nanostructures
We present a technique for fabricating nanoelectrode extensions to microcantilevers for multiprobe electrical characterization. For electrical measurements of fragile samples, such as thin films and nanostructures, it is advantageous to combine a small contact force with a small contact area, which can be done by reducing the dimensions of the electrodes to nanoscale dimensions. Here we report a fabrication method of a nanoscale four-point probe utilizing siliconnanowires as templates for metal electrodes. Using nanomanipulation, we attach 200–300 nm wide siliconnanowires to microfabricated cantilevers. By subsequently covering these nanowires with a metallic coating, they are made conducting and at the same time fixed to the cantilevers. These siliconnanowire four-point probes were tested on 7 and 35 nm thick Aufilms as well as poorly adhering 16 nm thin Aunanowires deposited on a silicon surface through a nanofabricated shadow mask. It was found that the nanowire extensions dramatically reduce the damage of the studied samples, while nearly reproducing the resistivity measurements of the unmodified, but more destructive micro four-point probes.

Now at 8 Triple Digit Highs - 07/10/13
Our hot, dry weather rolls on! We hit triple digits again at Camp Mabry for the 8th time this year and will likely do so again Thursday through Saturday. Although it will be hot, it looks like records should hold, but we could come close! As for rain, we'll be hard-pressed to find any for the next several days. I've actually lowered the chances of rain Sunday and Monday from 20% to 10%, but I'm holding on to 20% chances Tuesday and Wednesday. For comparison's sake...it could be worse! On July 10th, 1913 (100 years ago) - it hit 134 in Death Valley, California! That's the hottest temp recorded on Earth.
We'll be hot, but not quite record hot the next few days.
Camp Mabry Forecast Thursday: 102 (Record is 108 in 1917)
Camp Mabry Forecast Friday: 104 (Record is 107 in 1954)
Camp Mabry Forecast Saturday: 103 (Record is 105 in 2009)
Lakes Travis and Buchanan combined are just 36% full and continuing to fall. Lake Travis is 42.9 feet below average and Lake Buchanan is 25.1 feet below average. What would it take to end our drought? It's estimated 12 to 14" of rain would need to fall - and that rain would need to fall in the right spots (as in upstream or over the lakes!). With the lack of recent rain and triple digit heat, evaporation on the lakes is occurring at a quick pace.
Tropical Storm Chantal weakened considerably in the last 24 hours and disintegrated into a Tropical Wave Wednesday afternoon. For the latest: Track here:http://keyetv.com/weather/features/hurricane-tracker/andhttp://www.nhc.noaa.gov/
Overnight: 76 Mainly clear, warm & muggy. Winds: S 5-10
Thursday: 102 Early patchy clouds, then mostly sunny. Winds: SW/S 5-10
Thursday Night: 76 Mainly clear. Winds: S 5-10
Friday: 104 Mostly sunny and hotter. Winds: SW/SE 5-10

The Black Eyed Pea is so committed to the environment, he released a track called "Take Our Planet Back" in its defense. Say the lyrics, "If we're so technological, why're we still burning oil/ 'Cause I got a car you plug into the wall that's faster than a GTO/ We shot for the stars, put rovers on Mars, make planes like UFOs/ So why are we borrowin' money from China to buy oil from the Gulf and destroyin' the world?"

Most effective 9 Helpful tips – Advice To Make A Living From The Living Room
Helene M. Forte ♦ August 22, 2013 ♦ 6 Comments
To learn about running a home business, join a few forums and discussion boards on the subject. There are lots of easy to find, informative websites that can give you invaluable advice. In addition to forums, you may find great information in a number of blogs. Look into safety standards laws, and make sure that your home business passes. This is especially important if you have kids. It may be that you need to purchase safety equipment and enforce regulations regarding access. This is necessary for the safety of your family and should help you avoid costly accidents. If you have a home office you might still get your business inspected. If you have to take a client to lunch, be sure to deduct that cost as a business expense. In these cases, these meetings are actual business expenses. Make sure, though, that you only deduct expenses that stem from entertaining current or potential clients. Use your business plan as a road map leading to your success. Even if you do not need one for investment purposes, having a business plan is a good way to lay out your strategy. A business plan forces you to clearly formulate your long and short term goals and helps you to identify the steps to reach them.
Looking as professional as possible is always good business advice. A website that looks unkempt and unprofessional may drive customers away. Use professional websites as an example of what you're aiming for. Speak with an attorney before setting up your business. If you are going to start a home business, you need to realize that different states have different laws. Consulting with a business lawyer will help you ensure that you are adhering to the business laws in your state.
However, many think that this idea is just a pipe dream. If you use the right strategies, you will be able to develop a profitable business. This article can help you get started with your home business.
If you desire to make lots of cash as a home based business owner, it's vital that you know when to take chances. When you experiment and try new things, you can get new customers to visit your site. This can help you to make a lot of money. Doing the same routine repeatedly never allows you to see if you can do something better.
Use social media to market your business, but ditch the socializing. You can create a lot of wasted work hours if you get caught up in the social aspect of these sites. Socialize at a more appropriate time, like after work.
Look very corporate and professional when dealing with your home business so people aren't deterred. A website that looks unkempt and unprofessional may drive customers away. Always look for successful websites to help determine the best ideas for building your own.
When you are going to establish a home business, you need to think things through carefully before investing in your decision. This careful thought will make sure that you are successful at it and don't get yourself in over your head when beginning the home business venture.
Unforeseen circumstances can sometimes turn your life upside-down. You may find that you have lost a good job after many years, and you don't know what to do next. Starting a business from home is sometimes a better option than trying to find another job. This article will help you by giving you advice on how to get started being your own boss.
Maintain an awareness of what prices your competitors are offering, and keep track of when they change them. In this way, you can maintain a competitive edge, as well as keeping a close eye on your own sales figures.
It important to have a support network in place when you're running a home business. Find other people to put on your affiliate team. These people might not work in a similar industry, but they possess the drive and motivation to achieve a successful home business.
Use a physical business address, not a PO box, for advertising your out-of-home business location. Customers like to know that you are not faceless, but have a stable location. They will have a higher degree of trust in your dependability and your availability.
When choosing a product to sell from home, find one that addresses one of your needs. If your product offers a solution to a common, everyday problem, people will be more interested in buying it. If you develop a solution to a common problem you face, your product is sure to be a success.

Enhance the growth of your organization with Six Sigma training
Despite the world going through a major recession the medium level business organizations are toiling hard and are all set out to battle in global markets with the assistance of innovative technologies. The Six Sigma Training helps the individual to cut down the errors in the business companies and grow in every field. Majority of the industries favour the Lean Six Sigma process because of its quick speed.
The lean six sigma training is comparatively simpler and faster, and provides a quicker resolution. The lean six sigma training helps the qualified professionals to learn about the significant principles of waste lessening as well as procedure development techniques that are produced through the waste removal.
The Six Sigma Certification has presently become an indispensable feature of the CV. The eyes of an employer lit up the moment he sees Six Sigma certification highlighted in the resume. The professionals of the current times are regularly upgrading themselves by doing diverse certifications. Now with the help of online learning you can go for the Six Sigma course without actually disturbing your present job. There are different levels of Six Sigma Training and the one which the employee picks up depends on his capability, rank and calibre. Lot of institutes and companies like the Knowledge Academy are offering online six sigma training, lean six sigma courses, black belts, green belts, and yellow belts
The lean six sigma courses are fashioned in such a way that they pass on essential skills to the candidates. After finishing the lean six sigma training the professionals ultimately take an assessment to guarantee or certify proficiency and capability in the subject matter.
Large number of avenues opens for an individual the moment they opt for the Six Sigma Black Belt Training. The candidates who register themselves in Six Sigma Black Belt Training are now trained by master Black Belts. The Six Sigma projects frequently differ and can be finished in duration of few months or perhaps a few years.
The professionals after finishing Six Sigma Black Belt Training acquire the Black Belt and completely understand the requirement of the customer and are essentially the best judge of quality along with the service. They achieve the skills and are fully dedicated towards attaining total customer satisfaction. They have the capability to acquire new initiative and stay positive at all times.
A dedicated candidate of Six Sigma Black Belt Training is thought to be a passionate leader for an organization and has the aptitude to direct the change that arises. He is capable and has the skills to become both, an enthusiastic team worker and also a team leader when necessary. The candidates' attain a sound mechanical aptitude. The professionals who undergo Six Sigma training are adequately trained to endeavour for profound process knowledge with high amount of zeal and driving force. The individuals who are equipped with six sigma certification have a lot of diversified work experience and are very much in demand by the foremost global business organizations in order to speed up their growth and productivity.

From Comprehensive to Incremental Immigration Reform
After moving fast through the Senate, immigration reform now looks to be facing a slower, incremental policymaking process in the House of Representatives.
The House Republican Caucus confirmed at a meeting July 10 that it will not take up the comprehensive Senate bill. Instead, it will break the provisions into different bills. The process of considering and voting on the bills is likely to take the rest of the year and perhaps beyond. The House is unlikely to address immigration until the fall, when it will likely vote on several bills that have already been reported out of the Judiciary and Homeland Security committees.
Thus far, House Republicans have focused on bills that cover border and internal security and agricultural and high-skill workers, while rejecting the comprehensive approach taken by the Senate.
Reps. Eric Cantor (R-Va.) and Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) are also working on a Republican version of the DREAM Act called the KIDS Act, which would provide a path to legalization for young immigrants who were brought to the United States illegally as children.
"It is time to provide an opportunity for legal residence and citizenship for those who were brought to this country as children and who know no other home," Cantor said during a speech at the American Enterprise Institute in February.
But Democrats and immigration advocates are unlikely to support reform that provides legalization only for young immigrants. Right now, there is significant space between where reform advocates want to go with legislation and what Republican House members are willing to do.
The next several months will determine whether this chasm can be crossed.

Recap: July Grassroots Conference Call and Webinar
Pastor Charlotte Schmiedeskamp of Thompson Falls, Mont., talks about proposed SNAP cuts and sequestration during a visit with her member of Congress during Bread for the World's June 2013 Lobby Day in Washington, D.C. (Robin Stephenson)
July and August offer plenty of opportunities to talk about hunger and poverty with your members of Congress.
Yesterday, during Bread for the World's monthly grassroots conference call and webinar, members of our policy and organizing staff emphasized that it is important to act now. Director of government relations Eric Mitchell encouraged advocates to take advantage of in-district meetings and town halls during the August recess, a time when members of Congress return to their home districts. "This is the time they need to hear from constituents," Mitchell said. "After August, things will move fast."
Bread staffers reviewed the last six months and also looked ahead to what may transpire between now and the end of the year. The bottom line: your phone calls make a difference and will continue to be needed.
Noting that the media has largely ignored the effects of sequestration on vulnerable people, Bread policy analyst Amelia Kegan said, "We know if it's not front page news, it doesn't mean it's not happening and isn't important—if Congress doesn't hear from you, they won't think it's a problem." Kegan went on to point out that a long-term replacement of the sequester is unlikely at this point, but a short-term fix is still possible this fall, especially as more defense spending cuts take their toll. The question moving forward is how Congress will choose to replace the spending cuts—whether they decide to cut programs like SNAP or taking a balanced approach that includes increased revenues may depend on the pressure that anti-hunger advocates put on their lawmakers.
An examination of recent House farm bill activity showed that two wrongs don't make a right. The first draft of the bill, which included $20.5 billion in cuts to SNAP, failed in a floor vote. The version of the bill that the House passed last week does not include the title that authorizes the SNAP program. SNAP will continue to operate at existing levels under current rules and can still be included in a conference with the Senate farm bill (which cuts the program by $4.1 billion). But, as policy analyst Christine Melendez-Ashley cautioned, the way forward for the nutrition title is not yet clear, and that leaves the SNAP vulnerable to cuts in both the farm bill and the appropriations process.Staff members also provided an update on the latest threats to international food aid, which delivers emergency assistance to hungry people overseas. House proposals in the farm bill and spending bills would slash the program. The Foreign Assistance Transparency and Accountability Act, introduced in the House by a bi-partisan group of representatives, was also discussed.
Mitchell also stressed that Bread members must put pressure on their representatives to craft a comprehensive immigration reform bill that includes a path to citizenship. The Senate passed a comprehensive bill late last month, but is in unclear how the House will come up with a comprehensive bill or a piecemeal approach to reform.
The next monthly conference call and webinar will be held on Sept. 17.

God, Grip Our Hearts

Recently, Rev. Noel Castellanos prayed, "God, when you grip our
hearts we are turned toward our brothers and sisters on the margins of
Rev. Castellanos, chief executive officer of the
Christian Community Development Association, offered this invocation as
we and our colleagues in the Evangelical Immigration Table gathered for a vigil at the Capitol just before the Senate began voting on the comprehensive immigration bill.
Thanks be to God, our prayers—and your advocacy—worked. The Senate passed its version of the comprehensive immigration reform bill
on June 28 with a vote of 68-32. Now we turn to the House of
Representatives to see what action it will take. We anticipate a more
partisan approach in the House. So we pray that God will grip the hearts
of our representatives and bring both parties together to pass
immigration reform legislation that will benefit struggling families in
our nation.
House Farm Bill Fails
We have another major reason to be thankful to God and to you for your faithful advocacy. On June 21, the House version of the farm bill was voted down,
234-195. Had it become law, it would have meant a $20 billion cut to
the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly food
stamps). More than 47 million Americans depend on this vital food
assistance program.
When the current farm bill was authorized in
2008, we won the largest increase ever for food assistance. Since then,
the nutrition portion of the farm bill has been targeted for cuts. We
are thankful that God has gripped the hearts of our representatives,
until now, and stayed those cuts.
As you read this, Congress is be preparing to recess for the summer. This
means that your members of Congress will be back in your district. I
encourage you to visit or call them, referring to their voting record on
amendments to the new farm bill and other food and nutrition bills (see
Bread for the World's 2013 Midyear Congressional Scorecard).
If they voted in favor of hungry people, thank them. If they did not,
still thank them for being your public servants, but express
disappointment for the way they voted and remind them that you are
counting on them to vote on behalf of hungry and poor people.
International Coalition Pledges to Fund Maternal and Child Nutrition
We are also thankful that God has gripped the hearts of President
Barack Obama and other world leaders to increase investments in maternal
and child nutrition in developing countries hardest hit by
malnutrition. Since we started our work on this issue four years ago,
much progress has been made. Last month, at a high-level event in
London, world leaders pledged $21.9 billion for maternal and child
nutrition programs between now and 2020. The United States pledged $10
billion through fiscal year 2014 toward eliminating malnutrition in the
1,000 days between pregnancy and age 2—and it promised to continue
funding nutrition programs at this level beyond 2014.
On June 10,
during Bread for the World's 2013 National Gathering in Washington,
D.C., Bread for the World Institute and Concern Worldwide hosted an
international meeting to mark the progress that has been made over the
last 1,000 days and to recognize the important role that civil society
has played in building the political will to scale up nutrition. The
event marked the official launch of the Civil Society Network of the
Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Movement, which will help coordinate the
efforts of the 40 SUN countries.
Dr. Rajiv Shah, administrator of
the U.S. Agency for International Development, recognized the role that
activists— like the Women of Faith for the 1,000 Days Movement— have
played in elevating the voices of poor and hungry people as policy
makers set priorities. In addition, Bread for the World and partners
hosted a congressional briefing on maternal and child nutrition to raise
awareness on Capitol Hill about the critical role of U.S. leadership.
the briefing, Reps. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) and Mario
Diaz-Balart (R-Fla.) introduced a bipartisan resolution to draw
attention to the scourge of malnutrition during the critical 1,000-day
This will be a busy autumn and winter for Bread, with
important advocacy work around sequestration and other budget issues. We
will also be finalizing our plans for the next three years—the first
triennial plan within the framework of our long-term vision to end
hunger. We will be planning our campaigns for 2014 and launching the
2014 Hunger Report, Ending Hunger in America.
As we enjoy the
summer, I give thanks to God for your faithful support and for gripping
all our hearts to advocate with those whom Jesus calls "the least among

Failure Is Not an Option: A Migration Story
The Stephenson family in 1938, somewhere in Arizona, where they lived for a while picking cotton on their way west. (Family photo courtesy of Robin Stephenson).
By Robin Stephenson
My dad was a born a migrant. He likes to talk about the storm that was raging the night of his birth, but there was an even greater urgency than finding shelter from pounding rain that evening: hunger was pushing his family west. In an abandoned shack, having gone without food for several days, my grandmother gave birth. My dad was born on the migrant journey.
In the zeitgeist of the 1940s, migrants were considered lazy and shiftless. An exodus of the hungry fled one of the country's greatest disasters—the Dust Bowl. Leaving all they knew behind, they were called "Oakies, " often in hushed tones and with a contempt that implied their fate was their fault. Stirred by years of poor farm policy and practice, the dust storms left in their wake farms in Oklahoma and neighboring states that could no longer employ or support the population that once produced agricultural abundance. Having lost almost everything, families pulled together what little was left, piled into any transportation that could move them forward and headed west—not because they wanted to but because they had to.
The migrant's story, whether set in Oklahoma in 1938 or Oaxaca in 2013, shares a common thread: lack of choice. The human drive to survive is unstoppable, even in the face of enormous odds. A journey fraught with danger and derision is no deterrent.
In a recent interview with Truthout, U.C. Berkeley physician and anthropologist Dr. Seth M. Holmes talks about the migrant journey he researched for Fresh Fruit, Broken Bodies: Migrant Farm Workers in the United States. For 18 months, Holmes traveled and lived with a group of families escaping poverty from Oaxaca, Mexico—another once-fertile land gone fallow because of bad policy. Asked how migrants see their options, Holmes says:
"[W]hen you actually do interviews and do research with immigrants who are crossing from Mexico into the U.S., they do not experience this as a choice. There were several times, and in the book I write about someone telling me 'there's no other option for us.'"
This week, the House of Representatives have a choice that migrants don't: they can choose to move an immigration bill forward. If crafted with an understanding of the root causes that drive migration, this bill could be an important step in ending hunger both here and abroad. A special conference with House Republicans is taking place tomorrow, Wednesday July 10, and likely will mark a critical turning point in comprehensive immigration reform.
Today, I think of the word "Oakie" as a badge of honor. I come from survivors. Being born in a storm is a great story, but being born into hunger is not.
It's time for a new narrative and your voice can urge your Representative to move forward on comprehensive immigration reform. As the House takes up this issue, it needs to know that a faithful constituency is paying attention. Call your representative at 800-826-3688, or email him or her today.

Act Now: Include Ending Hunger in the House Immigration Bill
Photo: Matt H. Wade/UpstateNYer
By Eric Mitchell
This week, leadership within the House of Representatives is expected to begin discussion on how the body will approach immigration reform.
With your help, we made history by passing bipartisan comprehensive immigration reform legislation in the Senate. Now, we need you to move the House of Representatives!
Call your representative today! Urge him or her to support comprehensive immigration reform.
Tell your representative to support immigration reform that
- addresses the root causes of undocumented immigration, such as extreme poverty in countries of origin, and
- does not discourage or prohibit legal immigrants and their U.S. citizen family members from receiving needed assistance through federal programs such as WIC, SNAP, and EITC.
Bread for the World recognizes that undocumented immigrants in the United States disproportionately experience hunger. That's why faithful immigration reform must treat immigration as a hunger issue — both here and abroad. Learn more about immigration and hunger here.
As the House takes up this issue, it needs to know that a faithful constituency is paying attention. Call your representative at 800-826-3688, or email him or her, today.

Policy Focus: The Budget Stalemate Continues in Congress
[This piece originally appeared in Bread for the World's July-August e-newletter.]
Immigration Reform
On June 27, the Senate approved the most far-reaching reforms to U.S. immigration policy in 50 years. The Senate's immigration reform bill passed 68-32. Bipartisan support gave the proposal momentum even as it faces a more daunting challenge in the House of Representatives. The bill includes most of the major components of an immigration overhaul: an earned legalization process for 11 million unauthorized immigrants, increased enforcement both at the border and inside the United States, and a revamped guest worker program for both low-skill and high-skill sectors.
The Senate bill does not address root causes of undocumented immigration, such as poverty in countries of origin. However, it will reduce hunger and poverty of immigrants in the United States.
Farm Bill
The farm bill remains a main focus of our efforts to ensure a place at the table for all people. During this time of slow economic recovery, more than 47 million of individuals across the United States rely on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which is funded through the farm bill.
The current farm bill deadline is this September. As of press time, the Senate has passed a bipartisan farm bill that includes $4 billion in cuts to SNAP and some international food aid improvements. Meanwhile, the House failed to pass a bill that included over $20 billion in cuts to SNAP and $2.5 billion in cuts to international food aid. It is unclear how the farm bill process will move forward. Congress could take a number of routes, from having the House rewrite its bill, to considering the Senate bill on the House floor, to extending the current law.
Although the House bill failed, several amendments that passed during floor considerations are cause for concern. For example, the Southerland Amendment would impose harsh work requirements on all SNAP recipients. The Reed Amendment would ban ex-offenders from receiving SNAP. In addition, some influential lawmakers have recently floated the idea of splitting the farm bill and administering SNAP separately. This appears to be an effort to reduce funding for SNAP—which Bread would oppose.
In May, the Senate passed its discretionary spending allocations for fiscal year 2014, which was drafted with the assumption that the Budget Control Act of 2011—commonly referred to as sequestration—will be replaced and that scheduled cuts will not go into effect next year. The Senate appropriations spending cap is roughly $1 trillion.
In late June, the Senate Appropriations Committee passed its agriculture appropriations bill, with healthy funding levels for programs that help hungry people:
- $7 billion for the Women, Infants, Children (WIC) program—$215 million above FY 2013
- $1.46 billion for international food aid—$33 million above FY 2013
- $185 million for McGovern-Dole International Food for Education and Child Nutrition Program—$1 million above FY 2013
The bill also includes modest changes to international food aid. It eliminates approximately 17 percent of monetization—sale of commodities purchased in and shipped from the United States. This change would help support local farmers and markets. The bill also includes an $18 million increase in emergency funds.
Unfortunately, the House is operating under the assumption that sequestration will remain in place—leaving a gap of $10 billion between the Senate and House bills and making it hard to see how legislation will move forward. As of press time, the House has not drafted or passed its agricultural appropriations bill.

Praying for Reform
By Kiara Ortiz and Minju Zukowski
The morning of June 27 was a hot one in our Nation's Capital, but that did not stop a dedicated and passionate group of individuals from coming together to pray for just immigration reform.
The #pray4reform campaign, a weeklong event held June 24-28, was planned to coincide with the Senate's vote on a comprehensive immigration reform bill. Why gather to pray for immigration reform? The hope was that congressional leaders would vote "yes" on a the bill (S.744), which includes a path to citizenship for the roughly 11 million immigrants working in the United States without authorization. On June 28, the Senate passed that bill, but there is still much work to be done. Members of the House will now take up the issue, and we must continue to urge congressional leaders to create a more just immigration system.
The #pray4reform campaign brought together evangelical leaders for daily prayer at the Peace Circle in front of the Capitol. During our small worship ceremony, a mobile billboard drove around the city with the message "Praying for immigrants. Praying for Congress." Gathering around the Peace Circle to connect with God as Congress voted on such crucial legislation nearby was an amazing experience.
As the issue moves to the House, we continue to #pray4reform, and we hope you will do the same and continue to urge your members of Congress to support just immigration reform. Together, we can help push the issues of immigration and hunger to the forefront, so that no individual has to live with hunger.

Hope for Immigration Reform: The National Hispanic Prayer Breakfast and Conference

By Theresa Martin
More than 3.5 million unauthorized immigrants in America live below the poverty line. Many of them flee hunger in their home countries only to arrive in the United States and find themselves struggling to feed themselves and their families yet again. In a country where 33 million tons of food is wasted each year, and roughly 75 percent of our farm workers are migrants, how is it that so many immigrants go hungry? "For I was hungry and you gave me food… I was a stranger and you welcomed me"—have we forgotten Jesus' words?
I recently had the opportunity, along with immigration advocates from across the country, to attend the National Hispanic Prayer Breakfast and Conference, hosted by Esperanza, an organization that works to support Latino communities in the United States. Both Democratic and Republican leaders spoke to the topic of immigration reform, and attendees had the opportunity to lobby members of Congress on Capitol Hill.

Comprehensive Immigration Reform Moves to the House
With Vice President Joe Biden presiding, yesterday afternoon members of the Senate delivered their one-word votes on comprehensive immigration reform. Sixty-eight said "aye" and, with that, a bipartisan bill (S.744) that includes a path to citizenship for roughly 11 million undocumented U.S. workers passed the Senate.
We are grateful for the phone calls and emails you delivered to Capitol Hill over the last week, spreading the message that immigration and hunger go hand in hand. (You can see how your senator voted here).
The bill, although imperfect, is an important first step in changing a broken immigration system that perpetuates hunger. As undocumented immigrants experience disproportionate rates of food insecurity, legal status would provide greater opportunities to overcome poverty.
Earlier in the day, Bread for the World and other members of the Evangelical Immigration Roundtable participated in a prayer vigil in Washington, D.C. The group reflected on scripture from Matthew 25, which calls Christians into relationship with the stranger, and prayed together for immigration reform that would protect the most vulnerable. "God, when you grip our hearts we are turned toward our brothers and sisters on the margins of society," said Rev. Noel Castellano, leading the group in prayer.
Advocates will need the perseverance that comes with faith, as there is still much work to be done. The fate of immigration reform in the House of Representatives has yet to be determined. We will continue to urge representatives to include provisions in a final bill that reduce hunger at home and abroad.

Immigrant Farm Workers and Hunger
Migrant workers load cucumbers into a truck in Blackwater, Virginia, on the farm of Ricky Horton and Sherilyn Shepard on Monday, July 25, 2011. Almost three-fourths of all U.S. hired farm workers are immigrants, most of them unauthorized. The U.S. food system—particularly fruit and vegetable production—depends on immigrants more than any other sector of the U.S. economy. (Laura Elizabeth Pohl/Bread for the World)
By Kiara Ortiz
How can someone live and work on a farm and suffer from hunger? It doesn't make sense. And yet this sad irony is a reality for many immigrant farm workers in the United States.
Nearly three-fourths of U.S. farm workers are immigrants, many working in the U.S. without authorization and filling low-wage jobs that citizens are reluctant to take. Yet immigrant farm workers, who are so vital to the U.S. food system, disproportionately suffer from hunger and poverty.
Immigrants come to America in search of a better life, but are often exploited on farms. Pressure from immigration enforcement, low wages, inconsistent work schedules, and other inequalities can shatter their dreams. These workers are vital to the economy of this nation—a path to citizenship allowing these workers and their families access to federal anti-hunger and anti-poverty programs, such as SNAP and EITC, is an important first step in immigration reform.
During Bread for the World's 2013 National Gathering, I had the privilege of sitting in on the Immigration as a Hunger and Poverty Issue workshop. I was lucky enough to hear Lucas Benitez tell his story. Benitez is originally from Mexico but lives in a small town in Florida called Immokalee, an area where many Mexican, Guatemalan, and Haitian immigrants live. As an activist in Florida, and the co-founder of the Coalition of Immokalee Workers, he shared his experiences and struggles as an immigrant working in the fields of Immokalee.
"We live—no, we survive—off the work we do in the fields," he said. "We work hard to put food on everyone's table but our own. Why does it have to be that way?"
Why should immigrant farm workers be paid less money just because they are "desperate" for the wages? Wages should be based on work ethic and competency—immigrants, regardless of their status, should receive equal and fair pay for their hard work to provide food for our tables.
Our country stands against cruel and unusual punishment—it's a value outlined in our Constitution. So, how can we stand by as immigrants endure strenuous labor conditions, day in and day out, producing food, but not earning enough to feed themselves?
When advocates unite, we can change things. We live in a country built on the ideals of freedom and equality, yet we continue to allow immigrant farm workers to be dehumanized and mistreated. It's time to stop being complacent about this. The current system that perpetuates hunger both here and abroad can, and must, change. We need to fight for fair and equal pay, better working conditions, a legal means of being in the United States for those who require it, and respect for all farm workers.

Act Now! The Senate is expected to vote on a bipartisan immigration reform bill this week! Tell your U.S. senators to 1) support any amendment that addresses the root causes of undocumented immigration, such as extreme poverty in countries of origin; and 2) oppose any amendments that would make it more difficult for undocumented immigrants to earn a path to citizenship or would prohibit authorized immigrants and their citizen family members from receiving needed assistance such as WIC, SNAP, and EITC benefits.

Amber Portwood was spotted outside her home in Anderson, IN today -- less than a week after she was hospitalized for an alleged suicide attempt.
As TMZ first reported, baby daddy Gary Shirley called 911 on June 14 because he thought Amber "she was having a hard time with her life" and he didn't "want her to kill herself."
you would think that after all this time seeing herself in the public eye, she would have figured out she is plucking her eyebrows too far apart.
wow I see that for the most part there are a bunch of morons on here and I couldn't even read past the first page of comments. What is our world coming to? why do you think you have a right to judge someone based on what the media portrays. Do you know her personally? @David Jasper......you must be uneducated and i dont mean formal education... I mean on life... why dont you learn a little before you judge.. i guarantee there are people on here that have had relatives and friends commit suicide. You may have been lucky enough in your life to not feel so low that there is no other escape, or that your a burden on people so they must be better off without you. Why dont you go learn something about mental health as well as human behaviour and emotions before you run your mouth. You think it's easy for someone to commit sucide? As much as I disagree with the action I understand there is a greater power controling the emotions an it actually takes a lot of strength to do that to yourself. Its unfortunate that her life is so public and ya she might have made the decision for it to be but no excuse for other peoples ridiculous inhumane remarks. Why aren't you people reading up on important things and maybe educating yourself on things like empathy and understanding. JUDGE JUDGE JUDGE thats all anyone ever does... take off your shoes for a second and step into someone else's......
she's so nasty! bleh
I still believe she lost all that weight so quick bcuz of drugs!
I've known several addicts and lemme tell ya she is one for sure! all the signs are there? did anyone else notice how jacked up she looked on the final interview specia with dr. drew! I mean my god! she needs rehab and yes possibly a real physch ward as well! TRAIN WRECK!!!!!

Weighty Matters Info
Weighty Matters used to be just a chronicle of my weight loss efforts, which was extremely frustrating because I couldn't maintain it--both the blog and the weight loss thing. So instead, I have transformed my thinking (and this blog) so that it will not only deal with weight loss but also with all important health issues that we face. This is now my journal not just to lose weight but to keep it and to maintain good health. Hence, the name of this blog still applies. After all, all health issues are weighty matters.Subscribe via Email

Along with the Village People, '70s disco artist Sylvester was one of the few artists of the era not afraid to openly acknowledge his homosexuality. Born Sylvester James during September 1944 in Los Angeles, CA, Sylvester was introduced to music at an early age by his grandmother, Julia Morgan, who was a jazz singer. While still a youngster, Sylvester began singing in gospel groups, while finding further inspiration from the likes of Bessie Smith and Billie Holiday, among others. After relocating to San Francisco in the late '60s, Sylvester began to perform in a musical production called Women of the Blues, before becoming the star attraction of a transvestite vocal group called the Cockettes in the early '70s. After leaving the band in 1973, Sylvester signed on with the Hot Band and issued such releases as Scratch My Flower and Bazaar the same year. Sylvester's dance-happy funk style eventually transformed into disco, as his flamboyant and over-the-top stage act created quite a following for the singer in the San Francisco area. He also issued some of his best-known recordings around the end of the decade -- 1977's Sylvester and 1979's in-concert Living Proof -- while racking up such popular disco hits as "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)" and "Dance (Disco Heat)."

Agrium gets more shareholder support in proxy fight with Jana
March 18
- Tweet
- Share this
March 18 (Reuters) - Canadian agricultural company Agrium Inc received a boost Monday in its proxy fight against hedge fund Jana Partners, as another shareholder sided with the board's candidates.
"The impact of Jana's proposals on the value of Agrium are, in our view, highly speculative," shareholder Letko, Brosseau & Associates Inc said in a statement.
Investment management firm Letko owns about 2.3 million shares of Agrium, or 1.5 percent of the outstanding stock.
Jana Partners wants the fertilizer producer to spin off its farm retail division, cut costs, make better use of capital and add more relevant experience to its board.
Agrium will conduct its annual meeting in Calgary, Alberta, on April 9, when shareholders will decide the makeup of its board of directors.
Another shareholder in Agrium -- British Columbia Investment Management Corp -- sided with the company on Friday saying it believed Agrium's current board was providing effective oversight.
Agrium shares closed down about 1 percent at C$103.16 on Monday on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

Cathy W said
I never usually write reviews but in this case I just have to- I'm so pleased I took my baby to Barrett & Coe, the photographer Paul was so skilled in capturing his personality and expression in a split second. Paul was quick and efficient and my baby loved him. He wasn't pushy but helped me select the best photos and wisely suggested a classic option for the one I planned to give to the grandparents as a gift. Paul and his team went beyond my expectations in service, I can't recommend them highly enough. I will treasure the portraits forever as it captures such a small but significant moment in my baby's development, as Granny said when she opened the photo frame, "It looks just like him!".
