SAO TOME AND PRINCIPEThe Democratic Republic of Sao Tome and Principe is a multiparty democracy. The Government is composed of an executive branch, a unicameral legislature (the National Assembly), and an independent judiciary. The President appoints the Prime Minister, who in turn appoints the ministers of the Government. Miguel Trovoada, an independent, was re-elected President in 1996 for a second 5-year term. The Movement for the Liberation of Sao Tome and Principe (MLSTP), which had ruled prior to 1990 as the sole legal party, won a plurality in free and fair parliamentary elections in 1994 and holds 6 of 10 seats in the Cabinet. Presidential elections held in 1996 were deemed generally free and fair by international observers, despite allegations of an unconstitutional modification of voter lists between the first and second rounds. The Minister of National Defense, Security, and Internal Order supervises the military services, many of whose members are part-time farmers or fishermen, and the police. A week-long military mutiny in August 1995 was ended by an agreement mediated by the Foreign Minister of Angola, forestalling a threatened overthrow of the Government. The National Assembly passed an amnesty for the mutineers which was proclaimed by the President. The Government and international donors have dedicated resources to improving soldiers' living conditions. The economy is based on the export of a single product, cocoa, produced in an archaic state-run system of plantations called empresas. The Government has privatized some of the state-held land but has had limited success in privatizing state-owned enterprises. The Government faltered in its efforts at structural adjustment, and the economy continues to face serious difficulties. The annual inflation rate is 60 percent, unemployment is 27 percent, total external debt is six times gross domestic product, and the country is highly dependent on foreign aid. Per capita income is less than $250 per year. The Government continued to respect the rights of its citizens. The principal human rights problems continued to be an inefficient judicial system, harsh prison conditions, discrimination and violence against women, and outdated plantation labor practices that limit worker rights.

Welcome to the forum!
Can you tell us a bit about the laws regarding civilian gun ownership in Argentina? Are licenses required? registration? Restrictions on caliber, magazine capacity?
Just curious, really. Appreciate your posts!
The number of people killed because they didn't have "enough gun" is dwarfed by those who had none at all. Get a gun you will always carry, and add more capability as you grow.
The laws regarding civilian gun ownership in Argentina are:
License of "possession of guns" which requires psiquica and medical approbation. Also, each gun must be registered.
Civilians can not carry loaded guns, never.
No restriction of Magazine capacity.
The caliber is restricted at 1200 lb.ft of muzzle energy for handguns. This it; Yes .44 Magnum, But Not .454 Casull and Not .500 S&W.
The caliber of rifles is not restricted. But, no are permited semiautomatic rifles in calibers most powerfull that .22lr.
Sorry by grammatical fails !!

|Tall ship becomes historic attraction for Grand Bahama
|Friday, 03 February 2012 16:31
FREEPORT, Grand Bahama -- After more than a century of service, on January 14th the tall ship, Alexander Von Humboldt sailed out of her homeport of Bremerhaven, Germany, for the last time and set course for the island of Grand Bahama with stops in the Canary Islands and Barbados. A large melancholy crowd of onlookers along with press, radio and television braved the cold winter morning to wave their last farewell to the "Green Lady" as she is fondly known.
On the other side of the world excitement is growing in anticipation of the arrival some two months away. Freeport, Grand Bahama Island, will be the new home of "Alex" where she will host cruise ship passengers, island visitors and residents that want to experience the romance of sailing the way it was in bygone days.
In Germany the ship was used by the German Association for Sail Training (DSST) to introduce young sailors to the century old tradition of sea-faring. So too, in the Bahamas, young men and women will have the opportunity to learn the art of sailing as it was taught and practiced for centuries. The "Alex" gained world-wide recognition when she became the icon of the German Becks Beer Company who featured the ship with the green sails in most of its commercials shown worldwide.
Last week, as predicted, on January 28th, she arrived under full sail in the Canary Islands with Captain Harald Meyer in command. After a few days of provisioning and crew changes she departed again for Barbados on the next leg of the voyage. She is now crossing the Atlantic and this part of the journey is expected to take 26 days. Her progress can be followed on www.sailwx.info (search for Tall Ships, then select the name Alexander Von Humboldt) or click HERE.
Another provisioning and crew change will take place in Barbados and here Captain Ulrich Lamprecht will take over the command and guide the "Alexander von Humboldt" to Freeport which is estimated to take ten days. Captain Lamprecht is very experienced with this ship and has sailed her for many years in the oceans of the world. He will also take on the responsibility to train the all-Bahamian deck crew upon arrival in Freeport, where the German deck crew will be replaced as soon as possible. The three deck crews for the voyage were all volunteers and selected by the German Association for Sail Training.
"The century-old tall ship will be the perfect addition to the inventory of Grand Bahama's water based soft adventure experiences" said Director-General of Tourism, David L. Johnson. A warm welcome for the arrival to her new home in Freeport Harbour is planned for March 14th at noon.

…other than for avocado toast, at least 😉
Unless you've been living under a Pinterest-free rock, you probably know that putting some sort of filling in avocado is like, all the rage right now. And since I'm an equal parts avocado and Pinterest addict, I thought it was about time that I try this for myself.
Instead of trying a whole new new recipe, though, I went with an old favorite.
That was a good decision.
That would be my most favorite ever Cheesy Buffalo Chicken Dip. I didn't think this stuff could get any better, but the avocado bowl proved me wrong.
You could pop these "bowls" back into the oven (I've seen recipes where the avocado is cooked), but I prefer the cool creaminess of avocado paired with the cheesy goodness of the buffalo chicken.
Oh, and this is very much low carb, if you're into that sort of thing.
Have you ever eaten out of an avocado bowl? What's the last Pinterest inspired recipe/idea you tried?

The main problem is that you're using ADODCs. Nobody uses them, because it's much easier and more flexible to use ADO objects once you learn how. IMHO, since most of the experts here abandoned the ADODC at the first sign of trouble, you won't find too many specific solutions to specific problems. For myself, I have used the ADODC once in a production application, to work around a bug in the DataRepeater control. I probably could have used ADO objects as well.
If you decide to use the ADO objects, let us know. We'll be glad to help--after you've been through the tutorials and set up a basic connection and recordset.

PEORIA, Ariz. – For over an hour on Tuesday morning, manager Lloyd McClendon had the unenviable task of individually telling 11 players they had been cut from the major-league camp.
While most players are realistic enough to look around the clubhouse and know where they are in the organizational hierarchy, it's never enjoyable hearing you aren't good enough.
It wasn't fun for McClendon telling them that.
"They are all tough," McClendon said. "You are telling a young man his dream isn't going to come to fruition at this particular time. They all work hard. They give us everything they've got."

Most Read Stories
Nick Hill was one of those unlucky 11. The disappointment was real and raw. But for Hill, the fact he was in this position is an accomplishment and a sign he can still keep chasing that big-league dream.
"It's obviously a privilege just to be here and getting the opportunity to pitch in front of those coaches and show them what I can do," Hill said days before he was cut. "Whatever happens, happens. I'm just going to go about my business every day. I will start the season wherever they tell me. Hopefully soon I will end up in the big leagues."
Legitimate thoughts about making the big leagues aren't something Hill has had since 2010.
Following a solid 2009 season where he struck out 100 batters in 952
3 innings in 36 appearances for Class AA West Tennessee, Hill was invited to major-league spring training in 2010. It was major step to a promising career. It was going to be a big season.
Hill, a graduate of the United States Military Academy, was able to fulfill his service requirements the year before and focus on baseball.
But the season was sidetracked with a knee strain in early April that forced him to the disabled list. It required surgery to repair a torn meniscus that kept him out till June.
"It wasn't a big deal," he said. "It was an easy surgery. I came back and finished strong."
A part-time starter in the past, Hill finished that season as a reliever. In 26 relief appearances, he posted a 2-0 record with one save and 2.43 ERA. In 37 innings, he struck out 30 batters.
So it wasn't a complete loss of a season. That would come in 2011. Hill's season was over before it started. He tore the ulnar collateral ligament in his elbow, requiring surgery on April 7.
"Again, you take the mindset, 'Hey, no big deal. It happens to pitchers, get through it and come back stronger,' " he said.
So 2012 would be the year for Hill instead. With his elbow healthy, it was time fight his way back into relevance.
But the nagging pain in his left foot that he felt at times while he was rehabbing his elbow started to grow worse in the offseason.
"I felt it sometime in June, but I didn't think it was anything serious, you get your nicks throughout the year," he said. "I wasn't really concerned with it."
The day-to-day pounding made it worse. Soon each step, either walking or running, would result in waves of pain.
"I came back after Christmas and it was full blown," he said. "I couldn't even walk on it. It was a freak thing."
Hill was diagnosed with a severe stress fracture. The foot never got healthy enough for him to return. He made two rehab appearances in July with the Mariners' rookie-league team in Arizona, but the foot flared up. That was his entire 2012 season — three innings pitched.
"You have negative thoughts," he said. "You think, 'What's going to happen to me next?' I'd be lying if I said didn't think about quitting."
But he didn't. He wasn't going out that way.
"The average person would have just given up," Mariners pitching coach Rick Waits said.
Hill is far from an average person. He would have never gotten into West Point being average. Not only was he accomplished enough to be accepted into such a prestigious place, he thrived there, earning Patriot League pitcher of the year honors three times, earning All-American accolades and graduating as a second lieutenant.
"You think about your friends and classmates and what some of them are still doing, it's hard to feel sorry for yourself," he said. "It definitely puts things into perspective not just with your baseball career, but life in general. There are more things to life than throwing a baseball."
Still, this was his life and he was going to enjoy it. Hill came back in 2013 — a 28-year-old still pitching in the Class AA ranks. He stayed healthy and had enjoyed it.
"I took the approach I was just going to have fun," he said. "You just never know how short this game can be for you. I had fun and let the results take care of themselves."
Hill made 42 appearances, posting a 2-3 record with 2.17 ERA and struck out 46 batters in 49 innings. He held opponents scoreless in 34 of 44 appearances. Lefties hit just .171 (12 for 70) and didn't allow an extra-base hit to a lefty all season.
The success earned him an invite to spring training and a renewed spot with in the Mariners' plans.
"He's a really a left-on-left type of guy, and he can have success there," Waits said. "Last year was a year of staying healthy, and this year is being a natural pitcher on the staff and not having to worry about getting hurt, and getting guys out."
This year will likely start out in Class AAA Tacoma where Hill is close enough to have real big-league dreams.
Said Waits: "To come to where he's come after what he's been through, it tells you the character of the man."

Grammatics are:
Owen Brinley

Emilia Ergin
Formed in 2006 in Leeds by Owen, drummer Dominic Ord and bassist Rory O'Hara, Grammatics' mission was and is to combine their disparate influences to make cultured, artistic pop music by their own elaborate rules. Joined in 2007 by Swedish cellist Emilia Ergin, an ex-player for the Stockholm Symphony Orchestra, the band share a collective love of classic British art bands like Blur, Radiohead, Echo & The Bunnymen, Suede, Bowie and My Bloody Valentine with an equal fondness for acts of a heavier, dancier persuasion: Cursive, The Faint, Hot Chip, Queens Of The Stone Age and Arcade Fire.
Delusions of grandeur and a seeming fondness of intense argument haven't stopped the band achieving more than most in the last twelve months.
Since forming they have performed twice at Leeds Festival, found support in local Leeds label Dance To The Radio, supported The Futureheads on a 12-date national tour, played a sold out NME Awards show with The Pigeon Detectives at London Astoria, headlined a national tour including a raucous and critically acclaimed 'In The City' show and released the now highly prized and sold out début single, Shadow Committee.

The West Australian Ballet will celebrate Christmas with a final festive production for the year.
After a ground breaking premiere season in 2008, Ivan Cavallari's bold interpretation of family The Nutcracker will return to His Majesty's Theatre from November 23 until December 9.
Tchaikovsky's magnificent score performed by the West Australian Philharmonic Orchestra combined with classical ballet choreography and traditional Nutcracker themes - with an engaging new plot and characters, set against an Australian summer backdrop.
In Cavallari's narrative, a little boy falls in love with a girl in his class and uses the nickname 'The Nutcracker' to befriend her online.
The young girl asks to meet him before the Christmas graduation ball, not realising he's been in front of her the whole time.
Featuring a breathtaking set conceived by lead designer, Edoardo Sanchi (famed La Scala Milan and Arena di Verona designer and co-creator of Cavallari's acclaimed production of Pinocchio), and vibrant, haute-couture costumes by Christina Smith; this spectacular production of The Nutcracker is a must-see for all the family.
Tickets rang from $25 to $106 - book yours now through Ticketek on 1300 795 012 or visit waballet.com.au.

Tonight the Portland Trail Blazers and Memphis Grizzlies play in the Rose Garden. The Blazers are one inevitable loss away from playoff elimination and pretty much just playing out the string.
But the Trail Blazer broadcast feed is scheduled to be picked up by NBA TV and carried nationally -- or at least to all cable and satellite providers who carry that network. We often take sports broadcasts and the people who do them for granted. I mean, you turn on the TV and there they are... at your service. But they quite obviously have their own lives and their own burdens.
Tonight, color analyst Mike Rice is going to be in that national spotlight on NBA TV, as well as locally here as the game is carried on Comcast SportsNet. No, not THAT Mike Rice, the recently fired coach at Rutgers. It's OUR Mike Rice, the veteran and sometimes-a-bit-goofy former college coach who has been a part of Portland Trail Blazers broadcasts since 1991. Who is, of course, the father of the Rice who was let go this morning by Rutgers for his mistreatment of players.
Certainly, there's no justification for Rice Jr.'s actions toward his players. We know that and I'm not here to discuss it. My concern is the father and the kind of deep emotions that can come from a situation like this. I've known Mike since that sunny summer day in Portland when he auditioned for a job and I believe him to be a kind soul with a big heart. He's someone who has built a career out of laughing at himself and his own imperfections. He's done all sorts of good deeds without attention or fanfare and nobody loves this franchise more than he does.
And nobody loves his children more than Mike Sr. All of us who know him understand how proud he's been of his son's coaching success. I cannot imagine how difficult it's been over the last 24 hours to deal with the media firestorm that videotape of a Rutgers practice has brought to his family. If you have children, you know how much of those kids' pain you feel. And you even understand how often you've wished you could actually alleviate their pain by taking it all upon yourself. You may have even, in very tough times, prayed for that.
As a parent in a situation like this, I'm sure there's a terrible combination of guilt, depression, embarrassment, anger and pain raging on the inside. And Mike Rice Sr. is going to sit down Wednesday night and work a basketball game, probably trying his best to find that "Crazy Uncle Mike" persona that Trail Blazer fans love. Perhaps in this case, the game will be a brief respite. A break, if possible.
My heartfelt wish for Mike Rice Sr., and his entire family, is a peaceful pathway through some tough times toward better days.

A judge has declared a mistrial in the case of a man accused of trying to kill a woman.
Brian Garrett of New Bern was charged with attempted first degree murder, first degree rape, two counts of first degree sex offense, first degree kidnapping and robbery with a dangerous weapon after the attack on a woman at the Windy Trail Apartments.
District Attorney Scott Thomas says the evidence of guilt in the case is very strong, and that the case will definitely be retried.
Jurors began their deliberations Wednesday and told the judge they were deadlocked after two hours of deliberations.
They returned this morning at at 10:30 a.m. the jury foreman told the judge they remained deadlocked 10-2, in favor of guilt, but there was not going to be anything that would change the two jurors minds.
No word yet whether prosecutors plan to retry Garrett or not.

Seattle's Fall 2012 dance season features the return of a couple of familiar figures, both with new work: Mark Morris, with a new ballet, "All Premieres," set to a Paul Hindemith cello concerto, and the Paul Taylor Dance Company, with the West Coast premiere of Taylor's latest work, "The Uncommitted."
Mark Morris last created a new work for Pacific Northwest Ballet back in 1978 … so it's high time he returned. The legendary modern-dance choreographer, a Seattle native, will premiere a new ballet set to a Paul Hindemith cello concerto in "All Premieres" (Nov. 2-11). Also among the good-to-see-you returning faces: the Paul Taylor Dance Company, last seen here in 2009 and this time bringing the West Coast premiere of Taylor's latest work, "The Uncommitted" (Oct. 4-6).
The Chamber Dance Company's annual concert, always a hot ticket, features a collection of solo pieces by five masters of early modern dance (Ruth St. Denis, Ethel Winter, Helen Tamiris, Jean Erdman and Mary Wigman), along with more recent work from Susan Marshall (whose "Kiss" was a hit at PNB a few years ago) and Louis Falco (Oct. 11-14, Meany Theater). And those who love story ballets will find them both sweet and scary this season: "Cinderella" at PNB (Sept. 21-30), "Dracula" at International Ballet Theatre (Oct. 19-28) and "The Haunted Theatre" at Tacoma City Ballet (Oct. 20-28).

Good hair day. #doodle #drawing #ink
Blinded by the stars. 😍
I've been curious about @fisher.of.pens ' work and gravitated towards his stash of vintage French striped celluloid. I based the pen design on the Pilot Penmanship, but with exaggerated proportions. The front threads might be unusual for some, but I like it in the Pilot Penmanship, so... 😄 The roll stopper will be an eye. He sleeved the celluloid with ebonite so the pen can be safely eyedroppered, and adjusted the balance to suit. It's been a pretty neat collaboration. The nib is a flexible no. 5 from a Waterman 55. Thank you, @fisher.of.pens !
Happy things.

|Re-1J schools' free and reduced meal eligibility announced
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Holyoke School District recently announced its policy for determining eligibility of children who may receive free and reduced price meals served under the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs. Local school officials will use the following size and income criteria for determining eligibility:
For each additional family member add $5,148 to yearly income for free meals and $7,326 to yearly income for reduced meal price eligibility.
Children from families whose income is at or below the levels shown are eligible for free or reduced price meals.
Application forms are being sent to all homes with a letter to parents. Additional copies are available in each school. The information provided on the application is confidential and will be used only for the purpose of determining eligibility and verifying data.
Applications from families receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits (formerly the Food Stamp Program) or Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) need only to list the children's names, name of the person receiving the program benefits, respective case number and the signature of an adult household member.
All other households that would qualify based upon income must show the names of all household members related or not (such as grandparents, other relatives or friends), the amount of gross income each person receives in a month, the source and frequency of pay, the signature of an adult household member and the last four digits of that adult's social security number. The information on the application may be verified by the school or other program officials at any time during the school year.
Foster children who are under the legal responsibility of a foster care agency or court are eligible for free meals. Any foster child in the household is eligible for free meals regardless of income. If a family has foster children living with them and wishes to apply for meals, they should complete the application using the instructions for households that have foster and non-foster children residing in the home.
Under the provision of the policy, Sharon Thompson, business manager, will review applications and determine eligibility. If a parent is dissatisfied with the decision, a request may be made to discuss it with the determining official. A formal appeal may be made either orally or in writing to Bret Miles, Superintendent, 435 S. Morlan, Holyoke, CO 80734 for a hearing to appeal the decision. The policy contains an outline of the hearing procedure.
Applications may be submitted any time during the school year. Those who are not eligible now but have a decrease in income, become unemployed, have an increase in family size or become eligible for SNAP or FDPIR benefits, may fill out an application at that time.
Each school has a copy of the complete policy which may be reviewed by any interested party.
Holyoke Enterprise Aug. 2, 2012

How to Make Cat Ear Hair Clips
Cosplaying? Need some for a play? Want some because? Find out a simple way to make cat ears with stuff you probably already have at your house.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Assemble the items needed. These are listed below under "Things You'll Need".
2Take a permanent marker and draw a triangle on the foam.
3Use a ruler to make the lines straight. You can make them as big or as small as you want, but remember that the number of inches/centimeters that you used for the first ear so that one isn't bigger or smaller than the other.
4Cut out the ear shapes. Try to keep the scissors on the outside of the lines.
6Repeat all steps for the second ear.
7Get two hair clips and glue. Do not use bobby pins as they are harder to work with. Glue the ears to the clips.
8Let the clips sit for an hour to dry.
9Once they are dry, put them on. Admire your cosplay cat ears!
Community Q&A
- Use thin foam so the ears are not too fat!
- If you want to make the ears move, attach clear string to them so that you can pull them at will to make them move.
Things You'll Need
- Craft foam
- Markers – preferably Sharpies, but any work (optional)
- Ruler (optional)
- Hair clips
- Glue
- Scissors
- Pink or white faux fur or feathers

In the beginning there was a trumpets-and-fanfare announcement about the productivity change initiative. Six months later, it's clear the changes haven't been sufficient to meet management's financial goals. As director of HR, you know layoffs are a possibility. You also realize that maintaining morale and employee trust are equally important. How do you respond when employees—including your own staff members—cautiously ask how things look for the future?
Readers Respond:
As a senior HR manager, I need to be proactive and sensitive. As soon as I realize that despite the changes under way layoffs can't be ruled out, I need to plan for an effective communication strategy. That means establishing an understanding with top management—in advance —about what, when, how and by whom the demoralizing news will be released. The objective is to minimize the effects of the negative news as well as to avoid unhealthy rumors.
When such a plan is in place, and procedures have been rehearsed, I'd take the initiative to communicate the details to the staff. If such a plan isn't ready and I'm approached by the staff on the subject, I'd confirm the company is looking into ways, including staff measures, to reduce costs or to meet the target goals. I'd emphasize that HR remains the most valuable asset of the company—and full staff consultations will be conducted before management makes decisions affecting employees' careers. I'd also indicate when they can expect a formal announcement—which should come as soon as possible. Delays will result in uncertainties and, therefore, adverse effects on staff morale and loyalty.

I believe the best response is to explain the truth—that business isn't good and unless things turn around there are possibilities of reductions in force (layoffs). Deceiving employees can only lead to future distrust of your credibility.
I would solicit staff members' ideas as to what might be done to meet business plans to avoid such actions. I would present this as a challenge to the group with individual goals and predetermined time lines. I'd follow up with frequent meetings to review progress and provide positive rewards for every improvement in performance that contributes to financial goals.

I believe that when such a question is posed, an honest answer is best. The way one conveys that honesty is going to be the catalyst for action or inaction. I would attempt to put a spin on the situation that gets the whole organization involved in the responsibility for change. This would require that the explanation invoke a vested interest in the company's success.
We all see things differently. Typically we tend to find it easier to attempt to change others rather than to concentrate on changing ourselves. So, in any kind of change management, there has to be a degree of change shown by those initiating it. The behaviors must be visible and deliberate.
I would explain that these changes are important to the survival and growth of the company—and that so far the efforts to change the organization for the better haven't been successful. I would also convey that management views these changes as "a requirement."
Workers need to feel that there's a "payback" for change, so at this point I would explain the rewards. Obviously, if the company is doing better, then those within the company will do better. They'll experience an increase in programs, perks, benefits and pay. They'll also enjoy a certain amount of job security with the attained goals. It's everyone's responsibility—from the janitor to the COO—to work toward company goals and fulfilling the company mission to serve its customers. Without full commitment, cutbacks will be inevitable in order to survive.

My response to such inquiries would be as follows: The change initiatives we instituted six months ago have failed to yield the level of results we anticipated. As a result, we're in the process of reevaluating these changes, and I'm personally asking for your help in this process. While I'm hopeful that we'll see immediate improvement, there's the possibility that we may be required to find alternative methods to reduce expenses, one of which may be staff reductions. For now, let's establish some short-term action plans to contribute toward the change modifications.
Phil Brunoe

Employees need to know how the changes are affecting the bottom line. Not dealing with their questions honestly will further heighten their anxiety. The employer should solicit employee ideas about how to make the business more profitable. Employees should be assured that the company will do everything possible to eliminate the need for layoffs.

The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws celebrates 40 years of activism with a major conference in Denver.
A sitting member of the US House of Representatives, the director of the Colorado State Medical Marijuana Enforcement Division, and top leaders of the cannabis liberation movement from across the country (any beyond) gathered this past weekend to celebrate the issue's "Coming of Age" in a city that's increasingly taking a leading role in America's ongoing movement toward legalizing marijuana. And with the nation's first statewide seed-to-sales medical cannabis regulations nearly in place, and a major push already underway for a 2012 legalization initiative, Colorado will remain in the forefront of the movement's mind for the next year and beyond.
At their annual national convention, NORML celebrated 40 years of changing the world for the better with keynote speeches from Representative Jared Polis, from Colorado's second Congressional district, and Dr. Lester Grinspoon, author of Marijuana Reconsidered, perhaps the founding document of the modern marijuana movement. The weekend also included an intimate performance from Ziggy Marley at the HIGH TIMES Activism Awards, a mayoral debate moderated by Montel Williams and a rocking set from new NORML board member Greta Gaines at the conference's official closing night party. In between, activists and reformers attended panel discussions on topics ranging from "How Not to Get Busted" to "Cannabis and Cooking."
Couldn't make it this year? You can catch all of the high-lights online, so why not invite a few friends over tonight and recreate the experience from the comfort of your living room? And then use the lessons learned to fight for cannabis freedom where you live… If you haven't already, joining NORML would be a great start.

Friday Afternoon News, August 1
Smoke From Burn Pile Hangs Over Le Mars
(Le Mars) -- The Le Mars Fire and Rescue Department wants the public to know the city grass, leaf, and tree pile located on the northwest corner of town, has been intentionally set on fire, and is a controlled burn. Due to the high humidity and calm winds, the air is heavier causing the smoke from that fire to settle over the city of Le Mars creating a haze. The smell of smoke can be detected in many parts of the town. Sufferers of asthma may want to remain indoors until winds can blow the smoke away from town.
Plymouth County Roads Department To Close County Road C-60
(Le Mars) -- The Plymouth County Secondary Roads Department on Monday will be closing county road C-60 from Highway 75 east to county road K-42. The closure is expected to last four days, and the reason for the road to be closed is to repair the railroad crossing on the Burlington Northern railroad tracks. A detour will be set up from the Junction of Highway 75 and County road C-60 south on Highway 75 to County road C-70 then north on county road K-42 to C-60.
Julie Holck Selected As "Employee Of The Month"
(Le Mars) -- The Le Mars Chamber of Commerce presented an "Employee of the Month" honor this morning. This month, the award was given to Julie Holck with the Le Mars Insurance Company. Julies has been an employee with the Le Mars Insurance Company for 30 years. Patti Hill and the entire staff nominated Julie Holck for the honor. In their submitted nomination, they feel Julie is deserving of the Le Mars Area Chamber of Commerce Employee of the Month award for many reasons. Not just because she is celebrating her 30th anniversary with Le Mars Insurance Company, but because over the past 30 years, Julie continues to demonstrate great customer services skills along with excellent skills. Her work ethic is very strong, rarely missing a day of work. She continues to accept and support the new challenges that we have faced over the years. For example: web based inquiries, new policy systems, learning the claims entry process, and our current challenge - conversion to the PMS systems. Julie is knowledgeable in all facets of the company. Julie can almost do it all. Julie is a great co-worker as well. If you need assistance, Julie is there, helping in any department or co-worker, answering many questions such as "how do I do that?" No matter what the job or what the question, Julie is ready to help. Oh, and she can be bribed with Chocolate if you need something done ASAP. That is why we believe Julie Holck is worthy of the August Le Mars Chamber of Commerce Employee of the Month. She is a very valuable employee to Le Mars and the Donegal Companies. Our congratulations to Julie Holck for being named the Chamber of Commerce's "Employee of the Month."
Missing Girls Found In Corn Field
LARCHWOOD, Iowa (AP) - Two girls who went missing after going out to pick corn in a northwest Iowa field have been found safe.
The Lyon County Sheriff's Office says the girls were ages 3 and 6. They went to pick corn on Thursday afternoon and got lost in a field.
Several law enforcement agencies and a helicopter joined the search. A passer-by spotted the girls about 2 1/2 hours after they were reported missing. They've been reunited with their parents.
State Fair Entertainment Costly For State Fair Officials
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - A state auditor's report shows that when it comes to revenue, all performances at the Iowa State Fair's Grandstand aren't equal.
Nine of the fair's 53 acts since 2008 have cost more to bring in than they've earned in ticket sales.
The study shows Janet Jackson's 2011 concert appearance was the biggest loser, costing the fair about $107,000.
Last year, three performances didn't earn enough ticket sales to cover all entertainers' fees. One of the acts included three "Saturday Night Live" veterans. The fair had to come up with nearly $91,000 to pay the performers.
Fair officials are hopeful this year's Grandstand acts will sell more tickets.
The fair typically attracts about one million visitors during its 11-day run. It starts next month.
Democrats Offer Proposals To Expand Presidential Caucases
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Iowa Democrats are offering proposals for how to expand access to the state's presidential caucuses.
Party adviser Norm Sterzenbach says Iowa Democrat Party Chairman Scott Brennan will unveil the recommendations Friday before the Democratic National Committee's Rules and Bylaws Committee in Washington.
The proposals include pushing for legislation requiring employers to give non-essential workers time off to attend their precinct caucus, as well as hiring a staff member to focus on caucus accessibility.
The party also wants to provide satellite caucus sites for those who can't easily participate. And they are proposing that Iowans serving in the military could participate through a video-conferencing system.
The committee will not take action on the broad proposals Friday. The state party must still develop a complete plan to present for approval next spring.

WHEELING - Rep. David McKinley believes that finding new overseas markets for coal can help keep the industry viable as new regulations make coal increasingly tougher to burn in America.
With coal production in decline - about 7 percent both nationwide and in West Virginia between 2011 and 2012 - McKinley and industry leaders like West Virginia Coal Association President Bill Raney believe fostering the export market will be key to preserving the approximately 19,000 Mountain State jobs directly supported by coal mining.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency last year announced strict new standards for carbon dioxide emissions on future coal-fired power plants. New rules for existing plants could be issued by this summer, and McKinley, R-W.Va., sees no relief in sight for the coal industry.

"There's more to come. The president's been very clear about that," he said. "He's going to be much more proactive on climate change."
According to McKinley, the entire continent of Africa - home to more than 1 billion people - can only generate enough electricity to burn a 60-watt light bulb for three hours a day, per person.
Coal, he believes, presents the best opportunity to make progress toward Obama's own stated goal of doubling Africa's generating capacity.
Fact Box
With the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency tightening limits on carbon use and air emissions, coal producers are looking increasingly at overseas markets for their products
A continent such as Africa - home to more than 1 billion people - is not able to generate enough electricity for those who live there, and coal could help change that
Eliminating all use of coal for power generation would lead to a sharp increase in prices and only a very small decrease in total carbon dioxide emissions, according to Rep. David McKinley, R-W.Va.
"We can bring them out of poverty. ... (Coal is) the cheapest, most affordable way for these nations in Africa to have electricity," McKinley said.
Raney also sees exports as vital to the future of his industry. West Virginia coal already is shipped to 38 countries, he said, and demand is growing.
"Germany, for instance, tried the windmills and solar panels and all that, and now they're moving back to the coal industry because of its dependability and the low cost," Raney said.
Raney said the EPA may reveal new rules for existing power plants in June - and he's very concerned about what shape they will take.
"We're hopeful they're going to be more practical," he said. "There's nothing over the last five years that would indicate that would be the case. ... Congress truly needs to get in charge here."
Although developing export markets could help the coal industry offset the impact of those regulations, McKinley knows that won't help the millions of Americans who get their electricity from burning coal.
"If you do away with the gas or the coal, you're just going to pay more for your electric bills. It's going to be passed on," McKinley said. "Are we, as a nation, with the economy as fragile as it is, ready to accept that? I don't think we are."
McKinley said studies by the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change illustrate that even outright elimination of the coal industry would have a minimal effect on carbon dioxide emissions. Burning coal, he said, accounts for about 0.2 percent of worldwide emissions - and all man-made sources, just 4 percent.
"People have to be aware of the consequences of what we're doing here," McKinley said.

Mass Review: Equal Exchange Chocolate
A few months back I reviewed a trio of bars from Equal Exchange, a company that is dedicated to Fair Trade sugar, coffee, and (joy of joys) chocolate. They deliver a product of the highest quality and they adhere to high principles. And they have new chocolate in the pipeline for everybody! Coming this fall there are three new bars of organic, fair trade chocolate coming our way and I (through their unending kindness) am lucky enough to have the opportunity to try them early! The new varieties are Organic Dark Chocolate with Pure Cocoa Nibs, Organic Chocolate Espresso Bean, and Organic Mint Chocolate. Their first three bars were very nice so I've got high hopes for these new ones.
Organic Dark Chocolate with Pure Cocoa Nibs
This is a no-brainer for me. I love dark chocolate and I love nibby dark chocolate even more. The bar smells sweet. It is a sweet lightly fruity cocoa aroma and is very nice. The taste is sweet and not very bitter and the 68% cocoa chocolate itself is very smooth (which is equally true of all of the Equal Exchange chocolate I've tried). It is sweet and bright with a slight sour note and a smoky finish and a wonderful crunch from the nibs. Very nice, though not as bitter as I like my dark chocolate.
Organic Chocolate Espresso Bean
Another bar with a crunch! For a company that does both coffee and chocolate this is a natural choice. It's studded with espresso beans and boy oh boy does it pack a punch. It even smells strong. The chocolate – with a 55% cocoa content - almost takes a back seat to the espresso but it's there and it mellows the coffee edge. I can't comment much on the chocolate because this bar really is all about the espresso and from the first whiff of the aroma to the finish and lingering on even after that it's all espresso with some chocolate along for the ride.
Organic Mint Chocolate
Leaving the bars with the crunchy stuff in them behind we move on to our final treat. You open the package and you know you are dealing with mint. The smell reminds me of one of those Andes mints you get after dinner or on your pillow at a hotel. The first bite brought with it lots of minty flavor and a big surprise – more crunch! A quick look at the ingredients makes it clear that the name of the bar doesn't tell the whole story. The mint comes in the form of "peppermint crisps" – basically sugar and peppermint oil. It adds a sugar grain and crunch to the bar that is fantastic (I love the crunch of sugary candies). And the mint is strong without being overpowering. The chocolate – a 67% cocoa dark –is very nice and is a perfect complement to the sweet mint crisps. This bar is another winner in my book with a great texture and a great flavor.
The second round of bars from Equal Exchange have turned out to be just as nice as the first round and are a great expansion to their product line. I'll go on record as giving the Dark Chocolate with Cocoa Nibs an 8.5, the Chocolate Espresso Bean an 8.25, and the Mint Chocolate an 8.75. And that is ignoring the Fair Trade aspect and the fact that they're all organic. If you are interested in trying their products and don't have a local source they have a page set up with info on convincing a local business to carry their products. Finally, I want to thank Equal Exchange for the samples - I'm enjoying them greatly.

My dad and I have enough points to draw either unit and would like some opinions. We will be hunting off of horseback, my dad is 70 and is not in the best shape to hike long distances, I am in good shape so that is not an issue for me. I really would like to get my dad a 300 class bull before he gets to old to do it. I know there are probably easier hunts but we really enjoy hunting on horseback.
Thanks, Kelly

Home » Caregiver Support » Emotional Wellbeing » Articles » 14 Phrases to Live By in 2014
Life isn't easy for most people and it's not perfect for anybody. Sometimes, as we trudge through the days providing help for our care receivers, it's nice to retrieve a thought or two that can encourage us to keep on doing what we do.
Below are a few suggestions that may help:
Some of you will see a phrase here that may help you get through a particularly tough day. Others will not. That's okay. You may find another way to remind yourself to stay positive, or you may feel that these thoughts are too simplistic for your situation. That, too, is okay. If, however, you have a day when you feel you need a little help feeling grounded, pulling one or more of these ideas out of the mix may help.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — Penn State trustees plan to weigh proposals that board leaders say may alleviate concerns about a perceived lack of transparency.
Trustees chair Karen Peetz said the board Friday in Hershey could vote on changes that would include adding a committee to focus on outreach, and adding more faculty, staff and students to advisory roles. Peetz said this week the board under her watch would focus on "transparency, change and reform."
The board is under pressure from alumni watchdog groups angry about its actions in the aftermath of child sex abuse charges against retired assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky.
President Rodney Erickson is also expected to update the school's progress in implementing preliminary recommendations by former FBI Director Louis Freeh, who is heading the internal investigation into the Sandusky case.

Seems like I heard Kurt Hammerschmidt's name being called at least once per game last year. This year, not really at all. Why?
Ernst Brun
I've been wondering that as well. Looks like he's listed 3rd on the depth chart. http://www.cyclones.com//pdf8/965188...B_OEM_ID=10700
We are a one tight end team. As Tim Redd once said,
Ernst Brun.

Ernst Brun. I personally expected to not hear Hammerschmidt's name a lot, I was hoping to hear Howard's more though, he started the year first on the depth chart.
Walters talked about Hammerschmidt getting some nice blocks Saturday--just as Brun came back in.
Go Cyclones!
ernst "mr. nasty" brun. that's why!
I'm happy the coaches redshirted Brun last year and we have another whole year with him.

Yes, and no offence to Kurt as he is a good blocking tight end, he should never be apart of the passing game. He is slow and cannot catch.
Remember how Horne dropped everything thrown at him Saturday? Just superimpose those thoughts on imagining our TEs trying to catch a ball last season.
hammerschmidt is a good blocker but has hands of stone. Not sure about the Tulsa game, but I am sure the at least 2 of the INTs that SJ threw were passes that KH stoned away.
i think we will see that incoming juco kid backing up brun next year. but brun will be a stud!
Hoof hearted
Brun already IS a stud.
In 1984, I was hospitalized for approaching perfection.

Gov. Pat Quinn is calling for the Illinois State Museum Building in Springfield to be named after the late former U.S. Sen. Alan Dixon.
Dixon died July 6 at age 86. The Democrat's political career spanned more than 40 years. He was in the U.S. Senate from 1981 to 1993 and chaired a subcommittee of the Armed Services Committee.
Quinn says naming the building for Dixon will serve as a reminder of his legacy of public service and his dedication to Illinois residents.

Legend has it, hush puppies — fried balls of cornmeal — got their name during the Civil War, when Southern soldiers would toss the treats to their dogs and tell them to hush.
The word hoecake is derived from how the cornmeal flatbread was cooked in the 18th century: in the field on a hoe held over an open flame.

And anadama bread supposedly got its name when a fisherman cursed his wife, Anna, for serving him the same cornmeal and molasses every day and decided to add flour and yeast to the porridge to get bread.
Cornmeal and the foods made from it have a rich history in America. The annual Cedar Creek Grist Mill corn bread event celebrates the mythology surrounding cornmeal and encourages families to use the grain at home.
"You can have hot corn bread with a simple meal, and it makes it really special," said Barb Sizemore of Amboy, a mill volunteer.
The historic Woodland site mills corn from Bob's Red Mill in Milwaukie, Ore., creating whole-grain cornmeal to be used in cooking and baking.
Visitors can sample different types of corn bread at Saturday's event. Other cornmeal-based treats such as hush puppies and hoecakes may be available, as well. Then people can take recipes and cornmeal with them to re-create the dishes at home.
The mill is a nonprofit, and everything is by donation. Organizers recommend a $3 donation for a bag of cornmeal, which will make at least three batches of corn bread. The mill also produces and sells soft white wheat flour, used for making foods such as pancakes and muffins, and hard red wheat flour, used in yeast breads and rolls.
The corn will be milled fresh as people watch. Volunteers will be on hand to explain the milling process, which helps families feel more connected to the foods they eat, Sizemore said.
Recipes for corn bread run the gamut from a variation that's mostly cornmeal, no wheat flour, to a buttermilk corn bread that does contain flour in addition to cornmeal. The options increase when people add ingredients such as bacon, cheese or jalapeños.
The mill will have butter, honey and jam for people to try on their corn bread samples Saturday.
"I love warm corn bread with honey on it," Sizemore said. "It's just wonderful."

Buttermilk Corn Bread
Prep time: 20 minutes; Cooking time; 25 minutes. Yield: 9 servings.
Suggested variations from Friends of the Cedar Creek Grist Mill: We love to add 1 cup of shredded cheese to this (sharp cheddar, pepper jack or any full-flavored cheese is good). Adding a cup of well-drained, crispy bacon adds a rich, savory taste to the basic corn bread. For the more daring, add 2 or 3 chopped jalapeno chili peppers to the batter. From "Cooking With Stone Ground Flour" by Arlene Kovash and Marcie Anderson.
2 eggs
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup stone ground flour
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup cornmeal
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup salt butter or margarine, melted

|Bridgeport forces overtime, ends Lady Plainsmen's state tournament run
By Pastor Vince Carrig
Sports Writer
Bridgeport knocked the District
6 champions' crown off the Lady Plainsmen's head and took it for themselves with a 49-45 overtime win Friday night in Sidney.
Sophomore center Ashley Stevens took control of the Lady Bulldogs' fate with seven points in the 4:00 of overtime, banging down five of six free throws and a layup to give the team uniformed in purple and gold a berth in the NSAA's C2 tournament in Lincoln.
Bridgeport overcame trailing by five points at the beginning of the fourth quarter and by as many as nine points with 10:00 left in regulation.
Stevens also blocked a critical shot that would have given Perkins County a one-point lead with 54 seconds left in overtime.
Perkins County took two shots at ending the game in the last 10 seconds of regulation to punch their ticket to Lincoln for a fifth-consecutive trip, but neither would fall.
Lady Plainsmen forward Jenni Sis led all scorers with 17 points, filling the net with short-range jumpers, four free throws in five chances, and a couple of unguarded layups.
Sis connected on a wide-open shot off one of Brooke Poppe's three fantastic passes in the game and gave Perkins County a 39-38 lead with 40 seconds left in the fourth quarter.
Lady Bulldogs' senior point guard Simonne Spurgeon, however, sunk a free throw to knot the score at 39-39 and force overtime.
In a 20-12 surge over the last 12:00 of play, Bridgeport reserve guard Brittany Hutson's three pointer gave the Lady Bulldogs a huge momentum jolt, as it depleted Perkins County's lead to just one point at 35-34. Huston scored only those three points and Bridgeport did not hit a three pointer before or after that shot.
Stevens (14 points) then backed into the left block and glanced one off the glass to give the Lady Bulldogs their first lead of the game at 36-35.
Spurgeon's shooting meant 12 points for Bridgeport; she cruised the lane with a kick-out pass to give her team its last lead in overtime.
Mackenzie Hite exploited open space in the lane for three layups for the Perkins County team that matched or outscored Bridgeport in each of the first three quarters and ducked in for halftime with a 21-16 lead.
Hite and Poppe both splashed in three pointers; Hite's hit the front rim first but dropped to stake the Lady Plainsmen to a comfortable 33-24 lead.
Bridgeport benefitted from two second half line drives that found their way into nylon twine: freshman forward Sydney Faessler did it from 10 feet away and starting forward Tessa Harding sent one on an eight-foot rope.
Referees handed out fouls like chickens lay eggs, and the calls impacted the game. Having to avoid illegal contact for extra time proved difficult for Hite and Sis, two Perkins County seniors whose high school basketball careers ended as they watched the last seconds from the bench.
Bridgeport catalyst Manda Steer walked the line with four fouls, as did driving guard Spurgeon. Steer banged home three shots from right underneath and motivated the Lady Bulldogs' comeback by scoring six of her 10 points in the third quarter.
Perkins County's Tanya Metcalf picked up two quick fouls early in the game, but stabilized well enough to watch Stevens and baton down three jumpers and a layup for eight points.
The loss ended a successful, 14-9 season for the Lady Plainsmen. "I would like to say that the coaches were extremely proud of this group of young ladies. They worked hard every night and they were great to be around on a day to day basis," Head Coach Chris Mestl said of his Perkins County team. "They are a wonderful example of a positive role model in today's world!"
The 14-8 Lady Bulldogs, who have battled plenty of adversity in losing senior starters Charlee Wallesen and Courtney Laux to injury, drew 22-2 West Point Central Catholic in the state tournament's first round tonight (Thursday) at 7 p.m.
