National Farm Safety Month
Posted on | September 22, 2014 | No Comments
By Dana Brooks, Director of Government Affairs at Elanco Animal Health
This month is National Farm Safety Month. It is with sincere concern for all farmers that I write this blog.
In July 1996, my father was killed in a fatal farm accident. All of the contributing factors could have been avoided and it took me years to understand how and why my daddy could have made a mistake.
A typically mundane activity turned terribly wrong and threw my family into turmoil for years. One minute my dad was a vibrant 48 year old then… he was gone. My mother was working on the farm that day. When the accident happened she was near. She did CPR on him until the paramedics made her stop.
I was 25 years old, my mother was 46, and my two sisters were 23 and 17. My parents were about to celebrate their 28th wedding anniversary and their grandson's first birthday. My mom was working as a janitor and bus driver for the elementary school to provide health insurance for the family while my dad started farming with my mother's family.
When I look back on this traumatic event I believe that financial stress, exhaustion, and emotions created a rushed and complacent scenario. Think about that! What farmer, rancher or grower hasn't had a day (week or month) of distraction due to worrying about loan payments, sleepless night because of a labor issue, and/or a family disagreement over which generation should make a production practice decision?
How many of you have kicked a hay bailer while the PTO was operating, put your foot under the tongue of a hitch, or dismounted the tractor while it was in gear? How often have you climbed into a grain bin or stood near a running auger? Have you handled livestock alone after midnight in pitch black dark? What about cutting an electrical line assuming that the breaker or power was off? That was my dad's final mistake. He wasn't naïve or uneducated on the work effort. He had tremendous respect for electricity and a fear of being shocked or worse- electrocuted. However, that is exactly what happened. Farm worker hazards exist everywhere and often an accident occurs because of human error.
To farmers I ask, when you are working on your farm are you doing something that you would NOT advise your child or spouse to do? Slow down, stop, and think about what you are about to do. Does it have the potential to devastate your family forever?
Think Triple A's.
Assess the hazards on your farm. Address the hazard as you can. Advise your employees and family of risks.
Trust a farmer's daughter when I say your life is more precious than completing the job of the day!
May God bless you and your family.

Railroad criticism is a long-standing refrain among farmers

The relationship between farmers and the railroads has been one fraught with difficulties since the days when Eastern farmers and immigrants followed the railroads west to seek out a better life for themselves and their families. When farmers faced low prices for their grain they often blamed the railroads. The earliest nationwide farmer's organization, the Grange, rode the wave of agrarian discontent giving voice to the complaints of farmers.
With railroads providing the only access to eastern markets for the grain they had to sell and equipment they purchased, farmers felt that the freight rates were too high. In addition farmers delivering grain to small rural elevators serviced by a single railroad were charged a higher per mile charge than shippers from larger towns serviced by more than one railroad. In many cases it cost more to ship grain a short distance than it did to ship it a longer distance.
Farmer discontent ultimately resulted in the passage of the Interstate Commerce Act of 1887, the first law allowing the regulation of a private industry. The result of the act was the establishment of the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) to bring about its implementation. Over the years other industries, including telegraphs, bridges, oil pipelines, and motor carriers came under the purview of the ICC.
With deregulation in the 1970s and 1980s, the powers of the ICC were slowly reduced until the ICC itself was eliminated in 1995. Those powers and responsibilities that the ICC was still charged with were transferred to the Surface Transportation Board.
On Thursday, September 4, 2014, the Surface Transportation Board met in Fargo, ND to hear the complaints of farmers. The complaint was one that the authors have heard for as long as they can remember: the harvest time shortage of railcars to carry grain to distant markets or storage terminals. This year the pinch is particularly acute in North Dakota.
Some local grain elevators have faced railcar shortages since last fall. The result is that they are full at the time when farmers want clear out their own grain bins to prepare for this year's coming bumper crop. But like with the Christmas story, there is no room in the inn—well the elevator.
Lance Peterson, a Director of the American Soybean Association, told the Surface Transportation Board, "on April 10th of this year I traveled to Washington and testified before your board. The message that I delivered was that inadequate rail service through delays and increased freight costs is not just a business challenge but creates massive losses which are passed directly on to the agricultural producer, the farmer."
He then cited a University of Minnesota study that put the income lost by Minnesota farmers between March and May of 2014 amounted to $100 million. Similar losses for North Dakota farmers have been documented by the North Dakota State University, he said.
Peterson went on to say, "at the April hearing the rail industry stressed that the coldest winter in 30 years was the major factor in the lack of car movement and that the problem would be corrected before the 2014 harvest. Actually the rail industry indicated that it should be taken care of by June. We are now part way into the wheat harvest and there is still a lot of crop from last year that has not been moved. I have heard numerous reports of grain bin companies that are literally so busy that they cannot take on any more business for this year. Farmers are in a difficult position of having to add storage because last year's crop is still in the bin and they want to avoid piling grain on the ground during this year's harvest."
Farmers and the elevators say the railroads are giving priority to traffic from the Bakken oil field in western North Dakota which has to ship oil via the railroad because of the lack of pipelines serving this new oil field. They also complain that US shippers are receiving lower priority from the Canadian Pacific Railroad (CP) as the result of a new Canadian law that fines the carrier for failing to meet a mandated level of service for Canadian agricultural products. Farmers also contend that the CP has not made sufficient investment in improving rail service.
At this hearing the CP and the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad (BNSF) denied farmers' complaints. In addition to last winter's weather, the railroads testified that they are shipping more grain than last year and the problems farmers are experiencing are the result of the level of traffic on the railroads as well as congestion in terminal markets in Minneapolis and Chicago.
BNSF's chief marketing officer, Stevan Bobb, argued "any decision that forces more railcars onto our already congested system [a suggestion of the North Dakota Agricultural Commissioner] will not create more capacity. It will reduce capacity to some BNSF customers."
ASA's Peterson said, "my request to the Surface Transportation Board is to require the railroads to submit metrics showing past dues, average days late, turnaround times, etc. for agricultural shippers, the oil industry, and other customers. This information would help to give a clear picture of railroad service issues. Based on the size and scope of the rail shipment problems being faced in the upper Midwest this is not too much to ask."
In the meantime, farmers are investing in equipment to put the grain in bags and tubes so they can avoid putting grain on the ground—it is too late to put up new grain bins. They hope that when railcars come, the grain they have stored will be in good condition.
'We can feed the world and do it safely,' says ag industry group
Posted on | September 15, 2014 | No Comments
By Agricultural Safety and Health Council of America
If our agriculture industry is going to feed the world's population, we should care enough to do it safely, humanely and sustainably.
That is the message of the Agricultural Safety Council of America (ASHCA), a not-for-profit coalition of agribusinesses, producer organizations and safety professionals that is planning and promoting actions to make agriculture much safer and healthier.
Although the total number of fatalities in the U.S. agriculture, forestry and fishing sector continues to decline, the fatality rate remains the highest of any industry sector, according to preliminary data from the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries released this month by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
National Farm Safety and Health Week (September 21-27) will no doubt spark a media surge in agricultural safety stories. ASHCA says let's capitalize on that surge of awareness and focus on the following questions year-round:
- What are the best evidence-based strategies and practices for eliminating the major and most costly injuries/diseases among agricultural workers?
- What should our research priorities be, and who will pay for research?
- What educational systems are needed to ensure succession of current leaders in agricultural safety?
- What is the role of agribusiness and related industries (e.g., insurance, banking, legal) in sharing responsibility for safety of food and workers?
- How do principles of Corporate Social Responsibility and Shared Values come into play?
In this, the United Nations' "International Year of Family Farming," we should also ask: How does the global market affect our safety standards? How can we effectively guide food production and worker safety in developing countries?
ASHCA has taken tangible steps in addressing these questions through initiatives such as the 2013 North American Agricultural Safety Summit, and a safety grant program that recently called for a second round of project proposals.

Farm Safety Should be a Front Burner Issue
Posted on | September 11, 2014 | No Comments
By Roger Johnson, National Farmers Union President
When most Americans are asked what they worry about the most, answers like the economy, jobs, terrorism and education are usually at the top of the list. But if you are a farmer or a rancher, I'd submit that in addition to those issues – which are certainly worthy of your attention – another front burner issue should be work safety.
Agriculture is consistently among the most hazardous occupations in the United States. In any given year, 516 workers die while doing farm work, and each day about 243 agricultural workers suffer lost-time injuries. Farm accidents and other work-related health problems claim as many as 1,300 lives and cause 120,000 injuries annually, according to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
Interestingly, fruit farms have the highest worker-injury rates among the various agricultural operations, and sadly about 300 children lose their lives annually on America's farms and ranches. These losses are unacceptable. We can do better.
As a nation founded on agriculture, we should strive for a hazard-free and healthy work environment for people engaged in various agricultural pursuits across the U.S. The path to safer farms and ranches is through proactively addressing ongoing and emerging occupational safety and health issues affecting U.S. agriculture.
When a farmer or rancher walks out of his or her kitchen door in the morning, he or she should be thinking safety. We must work together to make farm safety a front burner issue and encourage farmers, producers and agribusiness owners to integrate safety into everyday practice so that it becomes part of their DNA, not just a program or a slogan. Safety is an approach to life and the workplace.
To that end, National Farmers Union is implementing an education and outreach plan to help bring the safety mindset to farmers and ranchers where they live. The initiative will be unveiled later this year, and will help NFU make its mark on this important issue.
Additionally, the Agricultural Safety and Health Council of America (ASHCA) – of which NFU is a board member – helps make for a coordinated and effective approach to bringing state-of-the-art safety information and programs to address the most pressing farm and ranch occupational hazards associated with various commodities, new technologies and changing profiles of workers.
We've all heard stories about why farm safety is important to someone, and it usually starts with the tale of a horrendous farm accident that changed, or ended, the life of a family member or a loved one. Let's all promise to put farm safety on our radar each and every day, and prevent that injury before it happens.
Iowa's strategy to reduce agricultural runoff of nitrogen and phosphorus
Posted on | September 11, 2014 | No Comments
by Daryll E. Ray and Harwood D. Schaffer, Agricultural Policy Analysis Center, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Tenn.
Read the original post at agpolicy.org
During the last week in August attention to the issue of water quality and the need to reduce the levels of nitrogen and phosphorus from entering US waterways moved from Ohio and the Chesapeake Bay to Iowa and its contribution to the dead zone in the Gulf of Mexico. On Monday, August 25, 2014, the Iowa Soybean Association, the Iowa Corn Growers Association, and the Iowa Pork Producers Association announced the formation of the Iowa Agricultural Water Alliance (http://tinyurl.com/nsbyhwq).
According to their website, "the Iowa Agriculture Water Alliance is a nonprofit organization committed to advancing the success of the Iowa Nutrient Reduction Strategy by increasing farmer awareness of the initiative and their adoption of science-based practices proven to have quantifiable environmental benefits."
The Iowa Nutrient Reduction Strategy (http://tinyurl.com/khflofq) was developed as Iowa's response to the 2008 Gulf Hypoxia Plan that called for the states bordering the Mississippi River to reduce the amount of nitrogen and phosphorus reaching the gulf by at least 45 percent. The strategy was prepared by the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, and Iowa State University College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and released in May 2013.
The Strategy is not limited to agriculture but includes elements to deal with both point and nonpoint sources of pollution. In Iowa the point sources of nitrogen and phosphorus include 102 major municipal wastewater treatment plants and 28 industrial facilities. These facilities are required to obtain a discharge permit before they can release polluted water into Iowa's waters.
"For the first time, discharge permits issued to these 130 facilities will require implementation of technically and economically feasible process changes for nutrient removal. These changes are designed to achieve targeted reductions of at least two-thirds in the amount of nitrogen and a three-fourths reduction in the amount of phosphorus from levels currently discharged by these facilities.
"If successful, this strategy will reduce by at least 11,000 tons per year the amount of nitrogen and 2,170 tons per year the amount of phosphorus discharged annually by municipal facilities alone. These figures represent a 4 percent reduction in nitrogen and a 16 percent reduction in phosphorus in the estimated statewide amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus discharged to Iowa waters from both point and nonpoint sources."
Doing the math, that means if the goal is a 45 percent reduction, then agriculture, as the major nonpoint source, has to bear the lion's share of the nitrogen and phosphorus reduction goals—41 percent for nitrogen and 29 percent for phosphorus, respectively.
Why does agriculture end up bearing responsibility for such a large share of the nitrogen and phosphorus goals? To paraphrase a statement attributed to bank robber Willie Sutton, "because that is where the nitrogen and phosphorus are." Depending on municipal systems alone, the state could not reach the 45 percent reduction goal for both nitrogen and phosphorus. Agriculture has to be a part of the solution.
Similarly, agriculture will not be able to meet its portion of the goal if very many farmers—or those whose farm release large amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus— decide to continue doing business as usual, the remaining farmers will not be able to meet the targets.
The report says, "possible nutrient reduction practices identified fall into three categories—nitrogen and phosphorus management, erosion control and land use, and edge-of- field. Management practices involve such things as application rate, timing, and method, plus the use of cover crops, and living mulches.
"Land use practices include such things as perennial energy crops, extended rotations, tillage methods, grazed pastures, land retirement and terraces. Edge-of-field practices involve drainage water management, wetlands, bioreactors, buffers and sediment control."
The Iowa Water Management Association was developed by the three agricultural groups as an alternative to regulation by state and national agencies. The chair of this group is Kirk Leeds, CEO of the Iowa Soybean Association.
In a DTN column, "Ag Groups Form Alliance to Champion State Nutrient Strategy," Chris Clayton writes, "Leeds acknowledged more effort is needed to educate farmers. Despite conservation practices now in place, current farming practices won't effectively reduce nutrient loads by the volumes needed…. Leeds added that farmers also need to be aware that consumers and the public are watching and want to see results."

The Terminator is having a bad day. It's a muggy July afternoon in New Orleans—the temperature is loitering in the triple digits—and Arnold Schwarzenegger is inside a giant warehouse on the grounds of NASA's Michoud Assembly Facility. Suited up in a black leather jacket with green-painted latex obscuring most of the right side of his face, he is again playing the indelible robot that solidified his place in Hollywood some 30 years ago. So far today the former governor of California has been stepped on and forced to crawl on the ground, and now, as he gasps for breath fighting his opponent, he's about to get transported to a different time—which, if you know anything about Terminator mythology, is a very bad thing. Especially if your metal endoskeleton is showing. READ FULL STORY

Arnold Schwarzenegger zombie thriller 'Maggie' gets U.S. distribution
In the genre-subverting apocalyptic thriller Maggie, which Lionsgate just acquired for North American distribution, Arnold Schwarzenegger stars as a father grappling with his daughter's imminent zombie-ness.
John Scott 3's Black List script imagines a world overtaken by a zombie virus, but focuses the trauma on the relationship between a father and his daughter (Abigail Breslin) as she slowly devolves into one of the cannibalistic undead. Henry Hobson, whose main credits are for designing title sequences for video games, television shows, and films such as The Help and The Walking Dead, directed the film, which also stars Joely Richardson.
"Maggie has all the ingredients that spell commercial excitement—a compelling script and an 'A' list superstar surrounded by a world-class cast," said Lionsgate's Co-Chief Operating Officer and Motion Picture Group President Steve Beeks. "We're delighted to continue our relationship with Arnold Schwarzenegger, who turns in a performance that marks a dramatic departure from his action persona, and partner with our friends at Lotus Entertainment on a film that will resonate with thriller aficionados everywhere."
Lotus co-chairs Bill Johnson and Jim Seibel, who produced and will handle international sales, added: "Maggie takes the zombie genre in exciting new directions, and it offers something for everyone—star power, horror, suspense, and riveting performances that will keep moviegoers on the edge of their seats."
Maggie does not have a set release date yet, but it's expected to arrive in theaters in early 2015.
Adam Sandler, Kristen Wiig, and Arnold Schwarzenegger bring films to Toronto
The 2014 Toronto Film Festival, which begins Sept. 4, added seven Galas and 17 Special Presentations to its lineup, including a semi-serious Adam Sandler project from Tom McCarthy, the director of The Station Agent and The Visitor. In The Cobbler, Sandler plays a man who has the unique ability to walk in his customers' shoes. The movie features Dustin Hoffman, who also stars in Boychoir, François Girard's tale of an orphan's steep learning curve at a prestigious music school. In Welcome to Me, Kristen Wiig plays a mentally unstable woman who wins the lottery and decides to sink her winnings into a talk show.
Toronto is one of the major launching pads for awards season and a market for 2015 acquisitions. Last year, Dallas Buyers Club was one of TIFF's world premieres that rocketed into the Oscar race, and this year's slate already includes potential contenders like Foxcatcher, Wild, and The Theory of Everything.
François Girard, USA
World Premiere
An orphaned 12-year-old boy is sent to prestigious music school where he struggles to join an elite group of world-class singers. No one expects this rebellious loner to succeed, least of all the school's relentlessly-tough conductor who wages a battle of wills to bring out the boy's extraordinary musical gift.

Arnold Schwarzenegger reveals name of fifth 'Terminator' film
On July 1st, 2015, he'll be back. Finally?
While not much is known about the fifth Terminator movie yet, one thing that has been certain is Arnold Schwarzenegger's return to the series that made him a household name. With the shoot now wrapped up, Schwarzenegger took the time to post a quick photo to his Instagram feed that revealed the title of the movie: Terminator: Genisys.
Genisys. Yes, Terminator: Genisys.
That's never going to not look weird.
O.J. Simpson almost played the Terminator
O. J. Simpson as the Terminator?
In EW's oral history of the 1984 sci-fi classic, director James Cameron recalls his reaction when Orion Pictures proposed the retired NFL superstar as the lethal killing machine from the future. "[Orion chief Mike] Medavoy came to me and [producer Gale Anne Hurd] and he said, 'Are you sitting down? You must sit down. I want O.J. Simpson for the Terminator. Gale and I just looked at each other and thought, 'You've got to be f- - -ing kidding me. How do we get out of this?" READ FULL STORY
'The Terminator' at 30: An oral history
Thirty years ago, a killing machine from 2029—assuming the form of an Austrian bodybuilder—arrived with a lethal directive to alter the future. That he certainly did. The Terminator, made for $6.4 million by a couple of young disciples of B-movie king Roger Corman, became one of the defining sci-fi touchstones of all time. Its $38 million gross placed it outside of the top-20 box-office releases for 1984, yet the film grew into a phenomenon, spawning a five-picture franchise that's taken in $1.4 billion to date and securing a place on the National Film Registry, which dubbed it "among the finest science-fiction films in many decades."
The movie launched the career of James Cameron, who went on to direct the top two box-office earners of all time, Avatar and Titanic. It also boosted Arnold Schwarzenegger, whose monotone delivery and muscle-bound swagger made a cyborg assassin the height of cool. The actor, now filming next summer's Terminator: Genesis in New Orleans, took a break to reminisce about his most indelible role. Settling for a landline call after four failed attempts to FaceTime—the former California governor's favorite mode of communication—Schwarzenegger quipped, "Obviously we need James Cameron to provide the technology to link us." His Terminator comrades also shared their memories via phone—just like it was 1984 again. READ FULL STORY
'Sabotage': Joe Manganiello talks new trailer (and not being recognized in a strip club scene) -- EXCLUSIVE
In Sabotage, the gritty new movie from End of Watch writer/director David Ayer hitting theaters March 28, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sam Worthington, Prisoners' Terrence Howard, True Blood's Joe Manganiello, and The Killing's Mireille Enos star as members of a badass DEA task force who find themselves on a Mexican cartel's hit list after $10 million goes missing in a bust. Check out our exclusive debut of the new trailer below.
Manganiello sees a certain horror movie structure to the film in that the team members are being hunted down one by one. And if you also watch the red band trailer, you'll see there's just as much blood. "David Ayer likes it dark, he likes it nasty," Manganiello says. "[But] the violence in the movie is taken from what's actually going in that world. The things that are done to people are gruesome and scary."
Ayer encourages actors to bring something to the plate on set, and after spending about four months alongside real-life DEA agents as research, Manganiello literally had a notebook full of material. Hence him improvising a quip — "Clean-up, aisle three" — heard in the trailer. "That line is in response to a SWAT officer showing up on the scene and finding that we've now made a mess in his jurisdiction," he says. "So I have this whole notebook full of sayings that these cops that I worked alongside and observed would say to each other, and a lot of them were dealing with the fact that when local cops and federal agents show up and there's a shootout, the federal agents are allowed to leave the mess. They can get into a huge gunfight and just jump in their cars and take off, and then the locals are left to clean up." READ FULL STORY
Check out the trailer for 'Sabotage' with Arnold Schwarzenegger -- VIDEO
Last month, I undertook a whistle stop tour of film sets in England — a full account of which you can read in the current Entertainment Weekly — and spent an afternoon hanging out with director David Ayer while he shot his as-yet-untitled, Brad Pitt-starring World War II tank film. "All my movies are about people in cars," said Ayer, who wrote and directed End of Watch and whose other scripting credits include the similarly auto-centric The Fast and the Furious and Training Day.
Box office report: 'Gravity' scores third weekend win with $31 million; 'Carrie' and 'Escape Plan' both underwhelm
There's no force strong enough to pull Warner Bros.' $100 million smash Gravity back down to Earth. The film, which stars Sandra Bullock and George Clooney, easily maintained its perch atop the box office in its third weekend, dropping just 28 percent to $31 million — good for a $170.6 million total after just 17 days.
Gravity is already the tenth highest-grossing film of 2013 in the U.S. (it surpassed Bullock's other vehicle, The Heat, this weekend), and appears to be headed for a finish of at least $250 million, which would put it ahead of director Alfonso Cuaron's Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, which grossed $249.5 million in 2004. Worldwide, Gravity has already earned $284.8 million.
Sony's $55 million Tom Hanks drama Captain Phillips spent a second week in second place, dipping 33 percent to $17.3 million for a $53.3 million total after ten days. The well-reviewed film is playing well ahead of Argo, which had earned $43 million at the same point in its run last year en route to a $136 million finish. Captain Phillips will need some major awards attention in the following months to reach those heights, but thanks to great word-of-mouth, it should reach (or get close to) $100 million domestically.

Beijing (AP) The cost of the Olympic opening ceremony in blood and sweat is starting to emerge.
Here's some of what Chinese performers endured to take part in the opening ceremony in Beijing: they spent months putting in 16-hour days, fainted from heatstroke in marathon rehearsals and even wore adult diapers so they could keep going. Many were injured
in falls.
The Chinese director says he could have never pulled it off in the United States, where he once directed an opera. He tells a local newspaper he was limited to four-and-a-half day weeks and had to give performers coffee breaks. He also says they complained if
They were criticized.
The director says only one other country could have gotten such uniformity -- North Korea.

Many people are at home tonight with their bellies full, after taking part in a cook-off contest today at Weston Fest.
Five cooks were judged on creativity, taste and the overall health factor of their food.
Weston Fest has been promoting healthy living all weekend.
Our very own Chad Franzen was 1 of 4 judges today, who we caught enjoying many of the plates. The winner was a woman from Stevens Point, who made a delicious grilled chicken with lemon vinaigrette.
"It's very exciting to be a winner. Everybody is going healthy ad just to change simple flavors and ingredients and something different," said winner Paula Smagacz.
For winning the contest, she took home a Weber Grill donated by ACE Hardware.

The Road Scholar Episode #1 "It's Called Work for a Reason" by Larry Winget
in Education
New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Larry Winget offers sharp, unapologetic—and invaluable—advice for succeeding in the work world
For all those who are frustrated at work, who seem to have no luck in business, who are underappreciated at the office, who are uninspired by their daily tasks, who just aren't finding the career success they desire, Larry Winget is ready to share his wisdom:
It's called work for a reason.
It's time for a swift kick in the pants from The Pitbull of Personal Development®, Larry Winget. Studies say that we actually work only half the time we are on the job. So then whose fault is it when we don't get the results we want? Stop making excuses for your lack of success and stop acting like someone owes you a living. Larry is here to ruffle your feathers and show you how to take responsibility for your results. Whether you punch a clock, own your own business, or manage other people, Larry's advice will work for you.
Find out why:
Success is simple
Teamwork doesn't work
Our co-workers are really only "co-goers"
Results are everything
You don't have to love your job (but it helps!)
Remember the work ethic of your parents and grandparents and make yourself worth more than you cost. That's the way to get ahead, and there's no big secret that will get you there quicker.

From Thug to Scholar
in Motivation
Meet Author James Williams as we talk about his newly release book "From Thug to Scholar".
This is a journey through my life where being intelligent and following the didactic spiritual teachings of my parents got me laughed at and teased until I adopted and embraced a thug mentality. I became a prisoner of my mind by seeking to please and to gain acceptance from others. Chasing a masked lifestyle that was opposed to my God-given potential, I was no different from the millions of people who chase materialistic things, lifestyles, and religions to please their parents, friends, or partners. Most of these people wake up unhappy, unfulfilled, and unable to identify the person reflecting back in their bathroom mirror. I was that person for many years, but I transformed and this book will inspire you to transform.

Marie Claire editor gets made over in Tokyo, getting a mani with Tomoyuki "Crystal Devil" Oshiro, an airbrush and crystal nail artist. "He suggests a twist on the French manicure—a nude base that gradually deepes to rose gold at the tips with a crisscrossing of white on top," she reports. "After layering a clear gel on my real nails, Oshiro custom-blends acrylic paint, then airbrushes it on."
As for national nail trends, journalist Mayumi Kurata tells Marie Claire, "Almost 90% of Japanese women wear gel nails."

Hoop Lions Set For Exhibition Opener
After three weeks of preseason practice, the UAFS men's basketball players are eager to play against someone other than their own teammates. This weekend, they will finally get that chance.UAFS will open its exhibition season with two games against NCAA Division I foes. The Lions will play at 6:05 p.m. (CST) on Friday against the Utah State Aggies at Dee Glen Smith Spectrum in Logan, Utah, and will play at 6 p.m. (CST) on Saturday against the Southern Utah Thunderbirds at Centrum Arena in Cedar City, Utah."I know we are really ready to compete against someone else," UAFS coach Josh Newman said. "The guys have worked really hard, and their effort has been good to this point. They've competed to the point where they are getting tired of each other, so this weekend comes at a really good time."Utah State competes in the Mountain West Conference with the likes of the University of Nevada-Las Vegas, Nevada, Boise State, Air Force, Colorado State, Hawaii, Fresno State, New Mexico, San Diego State, San Jose State and Wyoming.Southern Utah competes in the Big Sky Conference with Weber State, North Dakota, Northern Arizona, Montana, Portland State, Northern Colorado, Sacramento State, Eastern Washington, Montana State and Idaho State.Utah State and Southern State are among 12 NCAA Division I opponents UAFS has played in either exhibition or regular-season play since becoming aNCAA Division II member in 2009.

Lady Lions Ready For Conference Meet
Coming into the season, UAFS women's cross country coach Lauren expected her team would experience some growing pains as part of the maturation process.Sure, six runners returned from last year, but only three of those were seniors. And of the 10 runners on the Lady Lions' roster, six were either sophomores or freshmen. Needless to say, each of the four regular-season races UAFS competed in were short quizzes to prepare the Lady Lions for their final exam.That final exam? The Heartland Conference Meet.The Lady Lions will compete in the 6k conference meet at 10 a.m. on Saturday at the Cessna Activity Center in Wichita, Kan. "We have three girls who had never run in a college race before this season and others on the team who are only sophomores," Unger said. "The regular season has given our girls the experience they need to feel prepared and comfortable going into Saturday's race."UAFS will be one of nine teams vying for the conference championship. Dallas Baptist is the defending meet champion. UAFS finished fourth last season, tying its best finish since becoming a member of NCAA Division II in 2009.Unger is hoping the Lady Lions can improve on last year's finish.

A win in either match will give the Lady Lions the outright title. A Lubbock Christian loss to St. Edward's will also give UAFS the outright title.The Lady Lions (21-4, 13-1) have already clinched the No. 1 seed in the conference tournament, which they will host for the third-consecutive time at the Stubblefield Center on Nov. 14-15.UAFS will play the No. 4 seed at 5 p.m. and No. 2 seed St. Edward's will play the No. 3 seed at 7:30 p.m. in the first round on Nov. 14.

Sept. 3, 2013
WASHINGTON (AP)— House Majority Leader Eric Cantor says he will back President Barack Obama's call to use military force against Syria for alleged chemical weapons use.
Following a meeting with the president on Tuesday, the Virginia Republican said the U.S. has a compelling national security interest to prevent the use of weapons of mass destruction.
Cantor joined House Speaker John Boehner in supporting Obama, providing the president with key support among House Republican leaders.
Obama has said he will seek support from Congress before launching a military strike against Syria. Cantor said it is up to Obama to make the case to Congress and the American people that force is necessary.
Cantor says he hopes the president is successful.

NLI Solutions and Wilhelmsen Technical Solutions have received Approval in Principle from DNV on a jointly developed LNG Fuel Tank solution based on the NLI LNG tank design.
Oslo, 4th of June 2013. Wilhelmsen Technical Solutions (WTS) and offshore oil and gas engineering specialist NLI Solutions (NLI) have received Approval in Principal (AiP) from the Norwegian class society Det Norske Veritas (DNV) on their jointly-developed LNG fuel tank design.
The two companies have worked on the development of a LNG fuel tank design since 2009 in response to growing interest from shipowners to the use of LNG as a marine fuel. The tank is designed to IMO-B standards and is a prismatic, atmospheric and self-supporting LNG steel tank with state of the art cryogenic insulation. Parts of the tank system are patent pending. The two partners have complementary competences:
WTS has through its subsidiary Ti Marine Contracting more than 40 years of world class competence within cryogenic insulation and systems.
NLI is an experienced engineering and fabrication specialist with long track record from the early '70s within offshore and marine structures and process plants.
The first stage of the LNG Fuel Tank development project was co-financed by the Norwegian Research Council's MAROFF program, and Wilhelmsen Marine Consultants, Liquiline, DNV and Marintek participated as partners in the development. The NLI LNG tank design is well-suited for applications including ship board LNG bunker tanks, tanks for LNG bunker vessels, small LNG carriers and small to medium sized tanks on land. This first AiP from DNV is valid for the system to be used as marine LNG fuel tanks.
The two partners are now planning to further develop the tank concept and in the future promote the tank design to the marine industry and the small scale LNG distribution sector. The shift towards the use of LNG for marine propulsion is said to be as significant as the shift from coal to oil but with the additional environmental benefit of lower CO2 emissions. There will also be a significant financial benefit for ship owners as gas prices are expected to remain competitive over time compared with to diesel and distillate products.

I just got back from CEDIA EXPO 2009 in Atlanta, and man are my legs tired.
All hype aside, it was a relatively good show. There was plenty to talk
about from a product news standpoint and most exhibitors, with their
lowered expectations, were happy with their quality over quantity
experience with attendees.
The day before the show officially opened at CEDIA EXPO in Atlanta featured several press conferences, two of the most substantial being SpeakerCraft and Lutron product introductions. SpeakerCraft has been promoting its new products for the past few weeks, over which time we learned about the company's new "Vital"
