The Centre has stacked up cotton stocks worth Rs 1,177 crore as it stepped up purchases from farmers in what could be the biggest procurement drive in four years. The Centre stepped in to prevent distress sales after prices went below the benchmark levels in many regions despite lower supplies.
State-run Cotton Corporation of India (CCI) the government's biggest procurement arm has bought 5,43,400 bales as of Tuesday at the state-fixed minimum support prices (MSPs) since October 1, compared with a paltry 7,696 bales during the entire 2011-12, a senior government official said.
One bale equals 170 kilograms. Government agencies usually buy cotton at the minimum support prices (MSP) to ensure farmers get the minimum fair returns in case the rates fall below the benchmark level, and sell the stocks later at market prices. Losses on account of the procurement operations are reimbursed by the government.
Strong Chinese demand had driven up domestic prices to record levels in 2011-12 with cotton exports reaching an all-time-high of 12.9 million bales, or roughly 2.19 million tonnes, last year. However, as cotton inventories from China to Australia are bulging with the biggest-ever glut, a year after record prices encouraged farmers to expand output, the demand for Indian supplies has dwindled significantly.
Global stocks in the beginning of the year that started August 1 reached an all-time-high of 15.16 million tonnes, which are expected to swell further to 17.47 million tonnes by the end of 2012-13 as harvests exceeded demand for a third straight year, according to the latest estimate of the US Department Of Agriculture (USDA).
However, imports will likely drop to 7.97 million tonnes from 9.75 million tonnes a year before, mainly because top user China may scale down purchases by more than a half to 2.39 million tonnes, USDA said.
US cotton futures were ruling almost flat at 73.07 cents per lb on Wednesday nearly 67% below the record level of $2.197 an lb in March last year and compared with around 79 cents for a similar Indian variety despite a recent fall in domestic prices. Prices in many regions, especially in Andhra Pradesh, were ruling below the MSPs by up to R105, or 3%, a quintal as of Monday, showed a comprehensive database for 297 procurement centres across the country.
The CCI is now procuring around 50,000 bales a day out of the total arrivals of 1,81,000 bales, although prices in many parts are

US Free-Religion Bill Hits Abortion Snag
Article excerpt
A YEAR ago this week the United States Supreme Court astounded many lawyers and religious groups by weakening substantially the protection that the US Constitution affords to the free exercise of religion.
A year later a coalition of religious and civil-liberties groups is trying to get Congress to overturn the court ruling. But this year the effort by this Coalition for the Free Exercise of Religion is threatened by a controversy over abortion.
As a result, whether Congress will approve the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, expected to be reintroduced shortly, may be in question.
For 27 years until last April's court decision, government had been required to prove a "compelling" reason before impeding the free exercise of religion, a protection rooted in the First Amendment to the Constitution.
In last year's ruling the court majority said that such a strict standard of protection was a "luxury" that the US no longer could afford when it sought to act in a way that would affect religious practices.
Last year's prime congressional sponsors of the bill intended to overturn this ruling reflected a broad political spectrum, both liberal and conservative.
But this year key congressional conservatives - including Rep. Henry Hyde (R) of Illinois, a principal sponsor of last year's proposal - are having second thoughts as a result of opposition by the influential National Right to Life Committee and some other anti-abortion organizations.
These organizations want the bill amended so that it cannot ever be used as a legal basis for permitting abortions. Representative Hyde is among members believed to be insisting on a satisfactory amendment before they support the bill this year.
THIS week both conservatives outside Congress and Rep. Stephen Solarz (D) of New York, one of last year's prime House sponsors, are trying to draft one or more compromises that all sides can support. Already there have been "many attempts to solve" the abortion issue, says one informed source, so far without success. …

What's in your picnic basket?
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Summer is the time of year for picnics, church gatherings and barbecues. It is also the time when temperatures reach record highs. On those lazy warm afternoons, when everyone gathers for fun and relaxation, no one wants to spend hours in a hot kitchen, cooking both the food and the mood into a rolling boil.
Here are a few fun, quick, easy and, most important, cool recipes for your picnic basket that will leave the friends wowed and the cook cool and relaxed.
Remember anything that involves dairy should be kept cool. You can use a traditional cooler filled with ice or a thermal tote with frozen packs to keep food at a safe temperature until time to serve.
Cheese Slaw
This is a recipe I adapted years ago from a friend who had made a similar dish for an office gathering.
Helpful Hint: This dish can be made more or less spicy to suit personal taste by eliminating the jalapenos or by substituting mild or medium banana peppers for hot.
2 8-ounce bags shredded Swiss cheese
1/2 to 1 cup mayonnaise
1 4-ounce can diced green chilies, drained
1 4-ounce can diced jalapenos
15 to 20 hot banana pepper rings, diced
6 to 8 green onions, chopped, green and white parts
PLACE the Swiss cheese in a large bowl and stir in mayonnaise beginning with 1/2 cup and gradually add more until the desired consistency is reached.
ADD onions and peppers, mixing well and scraping down the sides of the bowl with a spatula.
REFRIGERATE at least three hours, but this dish is best prepared the night before to allow the flavors to meld.
SERVE with crackers as a dip or it can be used as a sandwich topping.
Texas Caviar
There are countless variations of this dish found on the Internet so you can explore and tweak your choice of beans or seasoning.
1 15.5-ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 15.5-ounce can black-eyed peas, rinsed and drained
1 15-ounce can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
1 15-ounce can dark red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 15-ounce can sweet corn, drained
1 finely chopped sweet Vidalia onion
1 to 2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 bunch chopped, fresh cilantro
1 diced red bell pepper
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons sugar
Chipotle hot sauce to taste
Salt (optional)
COMBINE in a large serving bowl the beans, corn, onion, garlic, cilantro and pepper. Set aside.
MIX in a separate small glass bowl the sugar and vinegars. Stir until sugar dissolves.
WHISK in olive oil, hot sauce and salt.
POUR dressing over bean mixture. Stir well and refrigerate.
SERVE chilled with tortilla chips.
Area lawyer Trent Redman and his wife, Tiffany, have recently launched a small catering food truck business, "Betsy's Barbeque," named for their daughter. Redman said they specialize in pulled pork, ribs, chicken and gargantuan turkey drumsticks.
For years, though, the Redmans have been known locally for their cooking prowess and entertaining style. Here are a couple of their favorite, crowd-pleasing recipes.
Watermelon Feta Salad
1 regular seedless watermelon
1 cup feta cheese (crumbled)
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1 bunch cilantro
3 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
CUT and cube watermelon into 1-inch pieces.
ADD feta cheese and mix.
POUR balsamic vinegar over watermelon and chill for at least 1/2 hour. One-half hour before serving, chop cilantro and add to salad.
MIX and serve.
KEEP cold while serving or the salad can become mushy.
Betsy's Apple cabbage Slaw
1 head cabbage
1/2 head red cabbage
2 medium carrots
2 apples cored and diced or shredded
PLACE all ingredients in a large bowl and mix.
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
4 tablespoons salt
4 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 cloves minced garlic
MIX all wet ingredients in a bowl.
BLEND ingredients with blender, Cuisinart or hand blender to make an emulsion.
POUR 3/4 cup dressing over slaw.
Remaining dressing should be refrigerated and can keep up to one week
Let's not forget, in all of these savory jewels, you always need a desert. WV Style Team contributor Jen Wood-Cunningham shared this favorite chilled sweet salad.
Sweet and Creamy Grape Salad
1 8-ounce package softened cream cheese
1 8-ounce container sour cream
1/3 cup white granulated sugar
2 teaspoons real vanilla extract
2 pounds red seedless grapes
3 tablespoons brown sugar
4 tablespoons candied pecans, chopped
WASH and drain grapes. Allow to air dry thoroughly. If the grapes are damp, it will compromise the texture of the dressing.
BEAT cream cheese, sour cream, granulated sugar and vanilla with an electric mixer till blended and fluffy.
ADD the grapes and toss to coat.
REFRIGERATE for at least 4 hours to overnight.
SPRINKLE with candied pecans and brown sugar. Serve chilled.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpfulApril 17, 2008Reviewer: Aaron and Angel in IllinoisThis is good stuff! Magnesium can be difficult to take as a supplement (I have some magnesium malate tablets and they are huge). Having the magnesium in liquid form makes it a lot easier to get down higher quantities (which is what most people need, given most people are deficient in magnesium, and it takes months to replenish the body's supply). Magnesium citrate is one of the chelated forms recommended by the doctors who wrote "Protein Power Lifeplan" (chelated form is easier to assimilate).
The flavor of the "plain" Natural Calm is tart, basically a lemon flavor, and the more you take, the more intense it gets (duh) so I have to tone down the flavor some with a flavored syrup or diet soda. It would probably also be good with tea, if you like lemon-flavored tea. It seems to me, though, that taking it as a liquid seems to somewhat lessen the laxative effect (although certainly not eliminate it - er, no pun intended). Taking the full dose of 3 tsp is definitely something you need to work up to gradually!
It's worth it, though ... to my surprise, I found my overall appetite for food decreased when I started taking the full dosage. I guess a lot of my appetite was actually a craving for magnesium.
One caution - you probably don't want to take magnesium at the same time as you are taking dairy or any high-calcium food or supplement, because calcium can block magnesium absorption.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulFebruary 13, 2009Reviewer: Helen in New YorkI use Natural Calm because I have Restless Leg Syndrome. I stir about 1 rounded teaspoon in a half cup of hot water. It fizzes until it's done dissolving. Then I add some more water to cool it down. I drink this when I am ready to go to sleep. I fall asleep easily within 15 minutes and my restless leg problem is not a problem as long as I use Natural Calm.This review is specific to Natural Calm, Raspberry-Lemon
January 30, 2014Reviewer: Mary in CaliforniaI use the product to help with regularity. I take it before bed. It seems to do the trick. The taste is not bad but I add it to lemon 4C because I liked the stronger/sweeter taste. The powder itself is not strong tasting or very sweet. Just a hint of flavor.This review is specific to Natural Calm, Raspberry-Lemon
March 20, 2013Reviewer: JoAnn in ConnecticutI have taken Natural Calm for years for chronic constipation. After back surgery I found that it controlled severe muscle spasm (charlie horse) in a leg with nerve damage. This past year I had chemotherapy and my oncologist told me I was her only patient who did not develop chronically depleted magnesium levels and she would be recommending Natural Calm from now on for her chemo patients (who also develop chronic constipation while on chemo). What a product!This review is specific to Natural Calm, Unflavored
March 19, 2013Reviewer: Angela in TexasThis has a nice mild flavor. I drink it each night to relax before bed...helps me sleep better & keeps me "regular". It's a win/win.This review is specific to Natural Calm, Orange
August 18, 2010Reviewer: A customer in MississippiSince I began taking Natural Calm at night before bed, I have been able to fall asleep and stay asleep at night. No more awakening at 2:30 a.m. and not getting back to sleep until 5 a.m. Now, most nights I sleep until morning, or if I happen to wake up I can get right back to sleep without tossing or turning for hours.
August 02, 2010Reviewer: JoAnn in ConnecticutMy chiropractor recommended this product to me and I've been using it now for over a year. It eliminates leg cramping at night, has a great laxative effect, and seems to have just about done away with the muscular tension I generate in my shoulders, neck and jaw. It's a real quality of life product. Also, this is the only place I can find the 16 oz sizes.This review is specific to Natural Calm, Unflavored
May 01, 2009Reviewer: Johana in NebraskaI have never used anything like this before. It really works well. I have leg cramps at night sometimes and this really helps. It helps the "potty" action too and doesn't taste bad. Love it!This review is specific to Natural Calm, Raspberry-Lemon
March 12, 2009Reviewer: Cathy in IllinoisI bought this for my 8 yr. old. She is a natural born perfectionist and has anxiety issues that keep her from sleeping well. Not anymore. I give her just 1 tsp of this before bed and she sleeps fine. She was also complaining about sore throats, tummy aches, etc. Dr. couldn't find anything wrong. We don't have these complaints anymore. Also started giving this to my 13 yr old son who has tourette's syndrome (in addition to his reg. meds). He won't go to school without taking it now. He says it helps his tics sooo much and as a result he also says his self-confidence has improved (his words, not mine). The only negative would be the taste (although my picky kids don't mind). I have them add a packet of splenda and they drink it right down.

Elena TaJo (short for Taurke Joseph) was teaching medical residents the year her daughter was born. Six years later, TaJo found that her home-work situation was becoming untenable. "I personally, couldn't do it," TaJo said, adding that her workplace was "not a mother-friendly environment." So she left her teaching position and increased her own private practice so she could attempt to balance her career aspirations with mothering a grade school-aged child.
Then pressure from the "mom culture" to be the perfect parent -- to help her daughter with every homework assignment, to volunteer at school, to cheerily answer her child's non-stop questions – rained down upon her head. "In comparison to the mothers around me, I felt like I was not a good enough mother," she said. ". . . My sense was of mothers competing with one another. There was all this activity that I'm not certain was necessary for my child." TaJo said she tried to fit in with other moms but it didn't quite work out as she felt suffocated by the cultural dictates of modern motherhood. "Where did I go?" TaJo asked herself.
After reading piles of books on parenting and on balancing work and motherhood, after keeping several notebooks containing her maternal reflections and after realizing that she'd begun to feel as though she'd become a martyr to her child, TaJo had a revelation. She decided to break free from her martyrdom and become, in her words, "a drop-out mom" who will "fail gloriously" when it comes to meeting current unrealistic expectations placed on parents. She no longer feels like she's a bad mom because, for example, she says, "No," to the school bake sale, or if her daughter forgets to bring her viola to school. She no longer hates herself for craving space and time to be alone, away from her daughter.
But TaJo isn't content to simply enjoy her own newfound personal freedoms. She wants other mothers to join her, to free themselves from their role as martyrs, and, in the process, free the next generation who are watching their mothers sacrifice themselves now and will later likely be faced with maternal guilt trips. Through the production of a short documentary entitled, "Martyred Mom Cracks Her Shackles [1]," and her UnMartyred Mom blog [2], TaJo is trying to spread her message. Through film screening workshops and casual coffee klatches in the New York City area, TaJo has been showing her documentary and leading discussions on how liberating moms from thinking that they have to care for their family's every need will be beneficial for everyone.
"Martyred Mom" -- which features TaJo, her daughter, her husband, her mother, her late grandmother and several adult sons, as well as other moms of small children -- was originally a 54-minute documentary. But TaJo cut the film to 35 minutes after receiving feedback that some of the scenes were too specific to her life and weren't relatable to Every Mom struggling with life-sucking, self-denying mommy guilt.
So how is the film? It's a provocative piece of performance art, startling for its honesty. (At one point TaJo looks into the camera at 5 a.m. and says she is holding her breath because she thinks she hears her daughter coming and she knows she's running out of her fleeting moments of peace. "My daughter, my beautiful daughter is my enemy. She's invading my fortress," she says.) TaJo is the film's primary harried mom who's seen reading parenting books, as a therapist explaining that in order to regain one's bearings moms need to let go of their martyrdom and guilt, as a dancer who sweetly races around a studio with her daughter, and as an interviewer who poses pointed questions to her subjects.
Among the documentary's intriguing moments:
A woman told TaJo that even though both she and her husband are working parents, she's expected to prepare the children for school and attend to their needs. "He [her husband] goes off and he assumes that everything's taken care of," she says, while admitting that when she's at work, "half my head is still at home." On the one morning she decided to go on strike and not see the kids of to school, she said when she got home from work, there was a bouquet of flowers waiting for her along with a note from her husband thanking her for all she does. The kicker: The next morning, she got up and had to take care of the kids' needs. Solo.
There was a fabulous discussion about how -- after some moms give up their careers, dreams or desires for their children -- they want their dashed hopes to mean something. "We get our points from suffering," TaJo says. "We get our power from suffering." Sacrificing moms use that martyrdom as a chip to cash in later with their adult children because these women gave up their ambitions and, frankly, they believe, their kids owe them. "We pay for the sacrifices our mothers made," TaJo says. ". . . Our children pay. . . Guilt is the currency."
TaJo offers solutions to the problem, arguing that if moms don't let go of their guilt, they're simply going to pass it on to the next generation. "If you don't let go, then your daughter . . . will think she has to hold up the world, that she has to bear the burden . . . To release her, you have to fight for yourself," she says. How can moms fight for themselves and break their martyred shackles? Included among TaJo's recommendations: Intentionally losing the "mothering competition," finding and acting on your own passions, forgiving your mother and finding ways to give away responsibility.
While the film's a bit rough in patches (lighting, audio), "Martyred Mom" has a huge heart and a strong message. In addition to the encouraging, mom-power booklet that accompanies the DVD, a pair of broken handcuffs would've been a nice touch.
More about the documentary and about "UnMartyred Mom" workshops can be found at TaJo's web site [3].
Meredith O'Brien is the author of A Suburban Mom: Notes from the Asylum [4], a collection of humor columns, and the mother of three. She pens the Boston Mommy [5] blog about parenting for the Boston Herald's web site and teaches journalism at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.

April 3, 2013
Tulane Baseball vs. Nicholls State 4/2/13
Head Coach Rick Jones
Opening Statement
"I think we're a better club than we're showing right now. We got down. We left a couple of balls up early, we got down a couple of runs. When that happens, it takes away some things that you can do offensively. Even though we played errorless baseball and they made a couple of errors, I thought they still made some great defensive plays. We didn't hit a whole lot of balls hard and we didn't bunch hits. We had seven hits and we didn't bunch them until late. I thought we had good at-bats late. But I just refuse to believe that we are not a better ball club than this. We are going to keep working, I'm not giving in to this. We are going to keep working."
On having runners in scoring position
"That's what I was saying about not bunching hits. I think when we get down sometimes in the game, some of our seniors are pressing a little bit. I keep saying that because I keep seeing it happen. When offensive numbers have dropped off 80-100 points on a guy, you know that he's a better player than that. He's a better hitter, he's shown that. We've had that happen to 2,3,4 guys that we count on. With our pitching situation, we have to swing the bat better; especially in these middle of the week games when we have guys who are down and are going to stay down."
On what he can do as a coach
"I can't put hands on them and make them healthy. We found out today Alex Massey won't be able to play catch for another three weeks. That's our Sunday guy. If you look at the difference in us with David Napoli the last two weekends on Sunday vs. when David Napoli was out. He gave us a great outing, threw seven innings. And it doesn't deplete your bullpen when that happens. Andrew Reeves maybe we'll have back in a couple of weeks, but I've been saying a couple of weeks for a couple of months. Alex Facundus, I have no idea. And Massey may not able to get back."
On Cannizaro's hard hit foul ball
"He was early. It was a hanger and he was a little early. Off the bat, you knew it was foul. Obviously he got in on the pitch, but it was foul."
On stranding guys on base
"It's frustrating, but we have to find a way to get it done. If you have a guy on first with no outs, there's no reason why we shouldn't get at least one run out of the inning."
On mentality as lead-off hitter
"Right now as lead off position, you're goal is to get on base however it is; whether you walk, get hit by a pitch get a hit, it doesn't matter. As long as you get on base, you did your job."
On important defensive plays
"I felt like there were a lot of plays out there, not just mine that gave us momentum and that kept us in a position to win the game. It was 2-1 for a while. We just have to find a way to get our bats going."
On stranding runners in scoring position
"We just have to be a lot better I guess. It's what we've been saying all year. It just hasn't really clicked for us. I think tonight was the half way point of the season. It was just tough because we came out tonight with a lot of energy and played well defensively and pitched well enough to get a win. We just couldn't get enough hits together, pick up that one big hit when we needed to. Again it cost us the game."
On hard hit foul
"It's the nature of the game I guess. That's how some things go. You can't harp on it. It's over. I'd like to hit the fastball after that which I thought I could hit, but I missed it."
On lighting up after foul
"I knew it was foul. I've actually done that quite a few times this year. Sometimes it doesn't go your way and tonight definitely didn't go our way."
On keeping morale up
"You have to put it behind you and know we have a big weekend coming up at Southern Miss. It's a huge rivalry between us. It's three games that we're going up there that we're going to win and know that we can win. Flush tonight, put it behind us, get back to work tomorrow, and go into this weekend with a clear mind and a new start."
On not being down in conference
"The conference is somewhat down this year surprisingly compared to years past. Every team is beatable. We proved that already. It's a huge weekend for us, that's all there is. We're looking to get up there. erase tonight, and start fresh on Friday."

Happy Friday, folks!
This evening, I have a simple avocado salsa recipe to share with you all. If you follow me on Instagram (username = elukes25), then you may have seen a preview last night!
The credit for this recipe goes to family friend & awesome graphic designer, Kristin. Kristin actually went to high school with my sister & designed all of the various stationery for my wedding last year. (Side note: I can't recommend her work enough; be sure to check out her Etsy store!)
Last year for my bridal shower, Kristin gave me a recipe box with very cute recipe cards & included directions for chicken with lime & avocado salsa.
I followed her recipe as a guide, & it turned out wonderfully. Like the original recipe suggested, I served a very hearty portion of the salsa atop boneless, skinless chicken breasts (I cooked mine in a skillet, but grilled chicken would be a fantastic option here!). I enjoyed the salsa so much that I plan to make another batch again soon just to keep on hand for healthy snacking. Enjoy!
Avocado Salsa
- 3 large avocados, chopped
- 1 medium red onion, chopped
- 1 large tomato, chopped
- About 3 tbsp. lime juice (I just eyeballed this.)
- Squirt of lemon juice (I added this to help prevent the avocado from browning, since I always save leftovers for my second-shift-working husband!)
- Salt to taste
- Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Use to top anything you desire! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
If you're entertaining this summer, this would be the perfect addition to your menu & would surely be a crowd-pleaser… very fresh & flavorful!
What are some of your favorite salsa ingredients? There is an Archer Farms salsa sold at Target that I believe is peach mango? Something like that! It's fantastic; I love the idea of incorporating fruity flavors.

May 3, 2009
Strong performances in the middle distance and distance events carried Butler's men to a third place finish at the 2009 Horizon League Outdoor Track and Field Championship, which concluded in Chicago, Ill., on Sunday (May 3). The Bulldogs captured four individual titles in the meet, including two on the final day of competition.
Junior Kris Gauson paced Butler on the final day with a win in the men's 800 meter run and a runner-up finish in the men's 1,500 meter event. He captured the 800 in 1:50.95 and finished second in the 1,500 in 3:55.91, losing the title to teammate Rob Mullett by 0.65 seconds!
Butler's other individual titles in the meet were captured by junior Stephen Lisgo in the 3,000 meter steeplechase and junior Justin Roeder in the 10,000 meter race. Lisgo's time of 8:51.49 broke the Horizon League record and topped the NCAA regional qualifying standard.
The Bulldogs swept the top four spots in the 1,500 behind Mullett (3:55.26), Gauson, junior Joe MacDonald (3:55.99) and junior Stephen Lisgo (3:56.07). It was one of the closest 1,500 meter finishes in league history.
Butler also put on a dominant performance in the men's 5,000 with four of the top five finishers. Senior Andy Baker finished runner-up in 14:43.55, while sophomore Madison Roeder was third in 14:57.51. Justin Roeder came in fourth in 14:59.16 and senior Kent Wories was fifth in 14:59.25.
Also scoring points for the Butler men on the final day of competition were MacDonald, who placed fifth in the 800 (1:53.13), and senior Tyler Kos, who finished sixth in the 400 meter hurdles (55.23).
Junior Sara Bird scored all of the points for Butler's women on the final day with a fifth place finish in the women's 1,500 meter run (4:42.82) and a fifth place finish in the women's 5,000 (18:37.02). Butler's women placed eighth in the final team standings.

In 2012, Hurricane Sandy temporarily halted the production of "Cold Comes the Night," a drama-thriller starring Bryan Cranston (read our review). During that impromptu down-time, Cranston created a contest. He invited the movie's production assistants to create a script to submit to him, and if he liked it, he'd star in it. The winner was Brandon Polanco, and the result was "Writer's Block," a short black-and-white starring Cranston, Lela Edgar, Spenser Granese, and Chaz Rose. According to BuzzFeed, production began just three hours after Polanco won the contest.
What's the story? It's not crystal clear, but it definitely keeps you watching with unflickering narrowed eyes until the end.

AFAIK one of the objectives of Stack Overflow is to make sure anyone can come here and find good answers to her Perl related questions. Certainly beginners would ask what is the best online source to learn Perl but others might just want to ask a question.
Probably the friendliest place is the Monastery of Perl Monks. It is a web site with a rating system similar to but more simple than Stack Overflow. You can find lots of good answers there and if you don't find an answer you can always ask.
The other big resource would be the mailing list of your local Perl Mongers group.
Where do you go when you are looking for an answer to a Perl related question?

SDSU slugger powers through the pain
Lorena Bauer barely has a leg to stand on.
Shinsplints, a rash that developed from taping that painful injury, and a sore foot that may be a fracture have hobbled the San Diego State softball standout.
"I don't know whether to laugh or cry sometime," said Bauer, who starred at Steele Canyon High when she was Lorena Klopp before marrying a Navy veteran last summer and taking her husband's name.
One thing Bauer does know is how to hit.
Listed as a pitcher/utility player, Bauer has been limited by injuries to designated-player duties.
Through 50 games, she's hitting .414 with 11 homers, 17 doubles, and a pair of triples after going 4-for-6 Sunday in a doubleheader sweep of Colorado State that pushed the Aztecs to 32-18 overall and first place in the Mountain West at 10-5.
The Aztecs host UNLV this weekend with a chance to clinch the conference title.
"This is my best year," said Bauer, a junior who is San Diego State's career leader in home runs (39), extra-base hits (76) and RBIs (126). "I'm more comfortable and confident.
"I've worked on having a plan at the plate and believing in myself. I never thought of softball as a mental game, but I've learned it is."
At 5-feet-7, Bauer said she has always been a bigger, stronger player.
"I've always had the ability to hit the ball hard, bat speed and fast hands," she said. "But I've become a more-patient hitter how."
A dead pull hitter when she arrived at San Diego State, Bauer has learned to adjust as teams adjusted to her. Rarely now does she get inside pitches to pull.
"So I've learned to hit the outside pitch to right field," she said.
Aztecs softball coach Kathy Van Wyk said Bauer has undergone a "complete transformation."
"She has learned to deal with the injuries," Van Wyk said of a player who underwent surgery for a dislocated kneecap while in high school.
"As our opponents learned more about her, she knew she had to get better. She's seeing the ball better and isn't afraid to take a walk. She has the potential to hit 20 homers and hit in the .450 range. She's that good."
Bauer started watching the Aztecs play as early as seventh grade.
So she knew the college players were "bigger, stronger and faster."
"Now I want to finish this season strong, have a great senior year, and take it from there," she said. "I'd like to give the pro game a try or try to play in Europe.
"We'll see what happens, and how these injuries heal."
• Top-seeded Cal State San Marcos swept through the Association of Independent Institutions (A.I.I.) Championship, beating LSU Alexandria in the title to game to advance to the NAIA Championship. The Cougars (35-10), who set a school record for wins in a season, got wins from Steve Messner, who improved to 7-3; Hunter Brown (San Dieguito Academy), who improved to 2-0; and James Dykstra (Rancho Bernardo), who is now 9-3. Justin Hertzman, Kyle Kuck and Frank Charlton earned saves.
• Cal State San Marcos opens play in the NAIA Santa Clarita Regional on Thursday against San Diego Christian, which swept a three-game series from CSUSM earlier this season. The Maters, Taber (Kan.) and Concordia (Ore.) are in the double-elimination bracket.
• Kyle Secciani (Grossmont) of Cal State San Marcos was named to the Capital One/CoSIDA Academic All-District 8 Team.
• Outfielder Taylor Eichhorst (Christian) and third baseman Jeff Lusardi of San Diego Christian were named to the All-Golden State Athletic Conference team. Eichhorst hit .308 with 12 homers, 15 doubles and 49 RBIs in 55 games. Lusardi hit .351 with a homer and 29 RBIs.

North Flats Road, UT
Here is another scenic area nestled in the same redrock formations that have made Moab UT famous as a western movie location. But no one comes here. If you want peace and quiet, even at the height of tourist season, this is the place for you. Go south on U.S. 191 from Moab to La Sal Jct. then continue south for about 10 miles to The Needles Overlook Road, which is paved. Turn west (right). Drive about 2.5 miles to North Flats Road to the north (right). Drive up this dirt road to a campsite of your liking.

text: Is there a reason this board doesn't have one? Many small local tournaments neither can or would actually advertise, say a $25.00 entry fee events that are in no way professional sports promotions, most of the time the room putting it on lose money. I just saw a one day one pocket tournament in the Orlando area I may go to that I would never have known about if not for the AZ tournament section. But don't read AZ most of the time, I read here and it would be a nice addition. I don't believe they belong on the discussion area but they should have a place. Just my opinion.

Family and friends honor fallen Marine
Victor Dew was a big baby, weighing 9 pounds 10 ounces at birth. His mom, Patty Schumacher, called him "my little man."
So it wasn't a surprise when she once found her son, by that time only about 1 and a half years old, relaxing in his grandfather's recliner, eating out of a box of Cheerios and watching cartoons.
"From that moment," she said. "I knew he would be able to take care of himself. He just personified wisdom and calmness beyond his years. I never worried that he would do something wrong. He always seemed to do the right thing."
As he grew older, this little man became an "old soul," his mom said. In March 2009, he joined the U.S. Marines to be on the frontlines, where he felt he could make a difference, his dad Tom Schumacher said Monday, days after laying his son to rest.
On Oct. 13, Dew, 20, died in combat, along with three other Marines, in the Helmand province of Afghanistan after a roadside bomb exploded near their military vehicle during a mission. Pfc. Dew served as an anti-tank assault specialist and had been deployed only about three weeks before the fatal explosion.
At least 1,245 members of the U.S. military have died in Afghanistan as a result of the U.S. invasion of that nation in late 2001, according to an Associated Press report.
Hundreds of friends and family members gathered Thursday at St. Rose Catholic Church in Roseville to honor Dew, followed by full military honors at the East Lawn Sierra Hills Memorial Park, where he was buried.
"It's hard to grasp that someone so young, so full of life, so caring, so full of love had to be taken so early," said a tearful Patty Schumacher Monday, while looking through photographs of her son at her Granite Bay house.
She described how he once colored his hair bright blue right before playing Romeo at his school's Renaissance fair and got nicknamed Papa Smurf. Several photos show Dew with his younger brother Kyle, now 11, and sister Katie, 3. Another photo shows him hugging his mom. As a kid, he hugged and kissed his parents every night. The kisses stopped when he was around 16, but he still gave hugs.
"He was just the perfect size to hug," Patty Schumacher said.
She pointed out a picture of Dew hugging his fiancée, Courtney Gold, after he convinced her to try a scary ride at Disneyland. Another photo shows Gold with her hair and makeup professionally done, in the gown she would have worn to her wedding. She took the photo to place in her fiancee's casket.
Raised in San Ramon, Dew grew up with a group of neighborhood boys who did everything together. He began studying martial arts at 6 years old, which he practiced for the next 13 years, eventually earning his second-degree black belt in Jujitsu.
When Dew was 12 years old, his family moved to Granite Bay. He graduated from Granite Bay High School in 2008, where he played freshman and junior varsity football. English teacher Jenny Padgett had Dew as a freshman.
"I remember him walking to school in his football jersey and carrying his pads," Padgett said. "It was such a beautiful image. ... Everyone knew him to be a good guy. He was a football player, but didn't possess a jock mentality. He was a gentle person and had a sense of humor. He was comfortable with adults. He was so remarkable that way."
After graduation, Dew attended Sierra College. But he wanted to join the Marines and even though that possibility is "every mother's worst fear," Patty Schumacher understood.
Tom Schumacher said his son — who he legally adopted about two years ago, but had raised for the last 14 years — was willing to sacrifice for his country.
"It's hard to think about all the stuff he won't be able to do," he said, "All the life events that are going to be missed."
One of those events is his marriage to Gold, whose friend, Cassi Bradburn, was asked to be a bridesmaid.
"I only met (Victor) once, but he left quite an impression," Bradburn said. "He was funny, always smiling. He was perfect for her."
Dew proposed to Gold at Disneyland this past August.
"The love of her life is gone and that's one of the things that really hurts me," Patty Schumacher said. "We had him for 20 years, but he was her future. It just pains me that they're not going to have that."
Dew's childhood friend, Chris Carvalho, was supposed to be the best man at the wedding.
"Victor had a real tough skin, but underneath was nothing but love," Carvalho said, during the eulogy he gave Thursday. "He was the most unselfish person I ever met. He would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it."
The two boys got rowdy as kids and would fight and wrestle, and be friends the next day. Carvalho said Dew had an adventurous side, once trying to do a double front flip in a bounce house — he broke his nose.
"Although I, like everyone out here, (feel) robbed for the loss of such an incredible person, I am grateful for the time I spent with him," Carvalho said. "We all love you Victor. Thank you for everything."

Double Chocolate Quick BreadBrooke McLay
Quick bread is the perfect treat. It's easy to make, quick to bake, and totally perfect for meeting your baked-good cravings. Though most quick breads are banana or cinnamon inspired, this recipe takes the traditional and adds a twist to it by making a rich loaf of deep chocolate quick bread.
Double Chocolate Quick Bread
1 1/2 cups miniature semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup butter
2/3 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1-1/2 cups applesauce
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
Melt 1 cup of the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl by zapping in your microwave for about 60 seconds. In a large bowl, beat the butter and brown sugar until extremely creamy. Add eggs and melted chocolate then mix together with the butter and sugar mixture. Stir in the applesauce and vanilla. Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; then stir in the remaining chocolate chips.
Spoon your batter into four 5-3/4-in. x 3-in. x 2-in. loaf pans which have been coated with nonstick baking spray (the sort with flour added into the spray). Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before turning out onto wire racks.
Serve hot or cool with a smidgen of butter and enjoy!

Atchafalaya Houseboat
Atchafalaya Houseboat, airing Sunday, August 31 at 10:30 p.m. on WXXI-TV 21 (cable 11) and WXXI-HD (cable 1011 and DT 21.1), is based on the experiences of writer Gwen Carpenter Roland and her childhood friend and companion, Calvin Voisin, who left civilization in the turmoil of the early 1970s to return to the simple, quiet lifestyle of their great-grandparents in the vast, unspoiled beauty of the nation's largest river swamp, Louisiana's Atchafalaya Basin. Without power tools or construction experience, the pair designed and built a floating home on which they lived a rich life in a remote, sleepy bayou for nearly a decade.
In Atchafalaya Houseboat, Roland eloquently recounts the time they spent catching and growing their own food, sewing clothes, trading, swapping stories about a time gone by, and growing up together.
During their journey, Roland and Voisin befriended a small community of "old swampers" and a young photographer named C.C. Lockwood, who shared their love of the basin's endangered beauty and unique lifestyle. Lockwood's stunning photographs of the Atchafalaya, featuring Roland and Voisin going about their daily routine, were published in National Geographic magazine in 1978, bringing unexpected fame to the pair and attention to the imperiled basin. Nearly 30 years later, after the pair had long since parted, one of Lockwood's photographs was featured in a National Geographic collector's edition, entitled the 100 Best Pictures Unpublished, renewing interest in their unique experiences.
This engaging documentary takes viewers on a tour of one of America's most remote natural treasures to experience the Atchafalaya Basin's breathtaking beauty, to experience an extinct American culture. The program prominently features the photographs of now renowned photographer C.C. Lockwood and the graceful storytelling of the critically acclaimed writer Roland to bring this charming story to life for a new generation.

Guns Are The New Greece
Just over a year ago:
Just over a few seconds ago:
How the times change. Does this mean that the ECB now accepts 44 caliber hollow points as Tier 1 collateral?
- advertisements -
LOL -what will Smith & Wesson and Ruger do with all the cash they're raking in? They'll have to shove it under the mattress I guess.
their stocks have been pretty beat up for the last few days. may have seen their highs for awhile
The difference between owning "stocks" and "stock" is important here.
Does this mean that the ECB now accepts 44 caliber hollow points as Tier 1 collateral?
Speaking pragmatically, it appears that, absent the presence of collateral-proof glass and/or the deployment of Tier 1 anti-collateral vests, the de facto policy at all banks is likely to be one of acceptance.
Well, the other problem is the uh, metric system.
Millimeters, folks, unless you are talking some old brit caliber. Excuse me, calibre. Or is it calibur. Calibour? Anywhoo.
depnding on your perspective, "Holy" works.
Not for long. Money talks. Bullshit walks. When the sales figures come in next month we will see how long their stock stays low. The morality of 99 out of 100 people goes right the fuck out the window when there's money to be made. Something also tells me that 99% of CONgress critters are invested in gun stocks. I'd love to see Pelosi's portfolio...
Nawww, Bill Ruger and the holding company for S&W should be establishing a "new" cartridge company. Do you know that they can't keep ammunition on the shelves. It's the new "gold". I would expect Bill Ruger to develop their own holsters for carry conceal, and a new line of Ruger appearal called "Bullet Proof" made from Kevlar. Everyone, and I mean every sane person will come to realize that the police force in the US of A is incapable of providing a modicum of protection and that everyone's safety is a "personal responsibility". If you wish to remain a "non-hostage", you will elect to arm and educate yourself. When God is stripped from the schools and every public and government institution .... you can expect that crazy a-holes will attempt to either hurt you or the ones you love, and the proper response .... well you know what it is.
Huh? Bill Ruger? Is this the son of the old man who passed away? When the old man passed awaay - the company expanded their line up to carry pistols and AR 15s. Old man Ruger made a mistake by staying out of those markets to avoid regulatory hassle. They have done very well with the expanded product line.
What the fuck did not allowing religious worship in schools have to do with a deranged person killing some people at a school? Do you read what you write and how crazy it sounds? If you want to rant about "gun-free zones" that's spot on, but then making some crazy segue into religion just paints you as a nutjob.
I'd take .44 HP over a Greek Bond any day. And I don't even own a .44.
Now that I read what I just wrote, it actually sounds kind of like some weird sex thing.
God forbid that Met Life might invest in manufacturing companies that create jobs. Better to invest in paper pushing fraud companies that create nothing.
I don't own a gun.
My wife has a temper.
I'm afraid she'll blow my head off.
But what's to prevent her from impaling with a butcher knife?
I see both sides of the argument.
BTFD ? .... kass is long. gundlach is in cash, Thstreet.com who knows.
jeffry calm like cucumber http://hedge.ly/UAGQvU
the dip of what?gold?
i guess it is still too early for the shoots through schools johnny dangerously video clip?
what the hell, the 88 MAGNUM bitchez
How soon till we get this headline?
never happen....in order for the greece and guns announcement, the following conversation happened.
POTUS et. Al - "in order to continue to recieve federal funds etc. you need to renounce Greek Bonds"
....rinse and repeat with anything you want instead of Greek Bonds.
Ahhh MetLife... my former employer.
So it just proves they are stupid, look it might not exactly be clear cut and ethical, but having no exposure is cutting off a money maker, its only like porn..
With obama's reelection the talk of gun control, id expect people to rush and buy MORE with anticipation.
MetLife is in the life insurance biz. Moar guns = moar suicides = moar exercise of suicide clause = MOAR PROFIT. I don't get it.
Met life .. We have no exposure to gun manufacturers because the drone manufacturing is where the money is.
Doc, it's nice to see that you keep things in prospective!! fucking drones joy sticked by Adam Lanza types..
The kill wsitch
I have told many people that many times. It is insurance against tyranny or a liberty tax that anyone sane woulld gladly pay.
Sadly, I lost my guns in a boating accidents. Guns are also scary to me like spiders.
What about SPDR spiders? Any of those you like? TBT? not TBT?, that is the question.
Stupid ass sheep , and they wonder why this country doesn't make anything. If its not the money grubbers squeezing every dime out of a company it's the dumb fuck activists chasing them out of town. Who in the hell do they think makes the guns that are supplied to the police and military? The gun fairy? Stupid sheep deserve what they get.
"Does this mean that the ECB now accepts 44 caliber hollow points as Tier 1 collateral?"
Not to be too picky, but Fatherland Security bought over a billion rounds of .40 HP to blow the nuts off the American citizen. Let's do the math. If you figute there are 300 million of us and half are male, then they only have to blow two sets of nuts off per clip.
If you think guns are an issue, how about registering gold buyers and sellers?
Of course, it is because of gold theft.
Sounds like they want to know where all the gold is. The U.S confiscated gold in the depression and paid the owners about $20.00 an ounce before setting the gold standard at $32.00 per ounce. Something else to worry about.
What about Drone Manufacturers?
Because drones have killed more innocent children (granted, brown ones) under Obama (nobel peace prize winner), than all these mass shootings combined.
I bought Smith and Wesson today at 7.85. Not great timing, could've got it cheaper. Ruger is yielding 3.4% and is pretty cheap, down 8%. Would have bought both but dumped so much money in Apple at 510 ran out of trading money.
If the Greeks had any sense they'd have realised three years ago when their country first went bankrupt that the only solution (or at least their only satisfaction) to national destruction and eternal poverty caused by totally corrupt political elites (who have siphoned off public money to Swiss bank accounts), is to stock up with arms and ammo to defend themselves from the madness that has engulfed the EuroZone. Rioting on the streets and throwing stones at heavily armed police that surround parliament is having little effect.
Grease guns. No, really! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M3_submachine_gun
Fuck MetLife! I won't divulge who the asshole there is, but his initials are: "Steve Smoak". Hey, Dickwad, pay up, sucka! You stilll owe me a lot of money.
Help out a friend and don't buy any of their bullshit products. Thank you for allowing me to vent. I feel so much better. :o)

Liberal newspaper admits the pill doesn't always work
The headline on a recent article in The Washington Post made a bold statement for a liberal publication: "You won't get pregnant if you use the pill, right? Wrong." The story, published Monday, touted what abstinence experts have said all along: birth control isn't foolproof. The best way not to get pregnant is not to have sex.
If the Post in this instance is a leading indicator of liberal thought, as it often is, the article is significant. Liberals for several decades have scoffed at conservatives who say sexually active teens who use birth control pills are still likely to get pregnant sooner or later. But a study on contraceptive efficacy by Dr. James Trussell from Princeton University shows conservatives are right, and the Post is willing to admit it.
The 99 percent efficacy rate the pill is famous for isn't exactly accurate. Trussell's study showed that the typical woman, who does not demonstrate perfect use, doesn't get to boast that close-to-perfect "protection" rate. Women with perfect use—who are paid to take the pill in a controlled environment on a strict schedule—have only a 0.7 percent chance of getting pregnant in the first year of use. However, depending on when she takes the pill, and her genetics, weight, diet, or metabolism, the typical woman using oral contraception has a 9 percent chance of getting pregnant in the first year.
Colleen Krajewski, an obstetrician and gynecologist affiliated with Johns Hopkins who works on contraception-related research projects told the Post, "I can't even give you a scientific answer even if you missed a pill," when asked about the drug's failures. Of the article author's unplanned pregnancy, she said, "My guess is it was sort of the perfect storm of little things."
The Post said researchers are struggling to figure out why the pill isn't working as designed. Predictably, neither the article's sources nor the author suggested some things might be beyond human control, and proof of the reason God designed sex to be confined within the bounds of marriage.
