Editor's note: This market commentary is provided by the Dairy Division at FCStone in Chicago, Ill.
Class III futures settled higher yesterday in the nearby months, anywhere from +4 to +12 following some strength in spot.
Blocks and barrels were both slightly higher yesterday with blocks up 1 cent and barrels up 1 ¼ cents. Since last Thursday, the block price is up 1.75 cents at $1.7825. There have been 8 trades. The barrel price was 3.25 higher at $1.7525 with 15 trades. The spread is 3 cents, inside the historical range of 3 to 5 cents. However, the 2014 contracts reaction was mute as 2014 Class III settled mixed anywhere from -1 to +5. Currently, the 2014 Class III pack is trading at $16.87, a level not seen since the beginning of August.
The current government gridlock and default concern, as well as lack of readily available USDA pricing information, has only perpetuated the choppiness seen as of late.
Internationally, conditions in New Zealand seem to be ideal for production with precipitation and temperatures at or near-normal levels. Recent reports from Fonterra have stated 5 percent growth YOY, while smaller co-ops report 8-10 percent growth. Soil moisture levels also seem to be normal in the north of the North Island and near normal in all other regions.
Spot session results:
Block cheese: $1.7825 (up 1 cent)
Barrel cheese: $1.7525 (up 1.25 cent)
Grade A NFDM: $1.84 (unchanged)
Butter: $1.53 (unchanged)
December corn settled slightly lower, down 5 ¼ cents, while beans settled slightly higher, up just ¼ cent on the day.
Traders seem to be leery of speculation that the EPA will consider lowering the mandate for 2014. Since the mandate's inception, production of ethanol has matched or exceeded the mandate.
Weather continues to weigh heavy on the market..
This morning, the grains looks to open mostly lower, with corn and wheat steady to 4 cents lower and beans down 4 to 7 cents.

Fifty-three schools across the country are currently participating in the Accelerated Schools Project. The Project was started in 1986 at Stanford University's Center for Educational Research. Its Director and Associate Director, Henry M. Levin and Wendy S. Hopfenberg, report that the Accelerated Schools Project was developed after it was found that two decades of remedial education had achieved little success with at-risk students.
High expectations and enriched curriculum
According to these researchers, reduced expectations, the stigmatization of remedial class placement and uninspiring instructional programs contributed to the failure of remedial programs to produce increased achievement among the at-risk population. Levin and Hopfenberg state that the Accelerated Schools Project is designed to accelerate the academic progress of at-risk students through a combination of high expectations and an enriched curriculum built around student strengths. Its goal is to achieve greater than average academic gains to that these at-risk students can actually catch up to the mainstream population.
The mission of each school participating in the Accelerated Schools Project is high achievement for all students, and this is the focus of everyone connected with the school – students, teachers, parents and administration. It is the basis for all the decisions and efforts made by parents and staff. Again, schools in the Project are structured to take advantage of students' strengths rather than to remediate their weaknesses. Strengths may include interest in oral and artistic expression, an ability to learn through manipulation and to work eagerly at intrinsically interesting tasks and a capacity to learn to write without first mastering reading. An emphasis on reading and writing for meaning is established in the early grades. The Project stresses a language-based approach across all subjects, including mathematics. Learning activities are frequently planned around the predominant cultures of the student population. Active learning experiences involve independent projects, problem solving and working with manipulatives. Abstract concepts are applied to real-life problems and events to make them more meaningful to students.
Families play a central role in the running of an Accelerated School. Parents and staff make decisions together and teachers depend on parents to work with them in the classrooms. Teachers in Accelerated Schools are expected to develop creative ideas for accelerating student progress and are responsible for making decisions concerning curricula, materials and teaching styles. The principal coordinates and facilitates the activities of the decision-making groups within the school, identifies and cultivates talent among the staff, keeps the school focused on its mission and works with parents and the community. The district office supports the school with information, technical assistance, staff development and appropriate assessment systems.

A RHUDDLAN community choir will feature on the new album by rock band the Alarm.
Acquire recorded backing vocals for several tracks on the Declaration 2014 with the band's lead singer Mike Peters of Dyserth and collaborator Steve Allan Jones.
The pair transformed Acquire's rehearsal premises in Ebeneser Chapel Hall into a makeshift recording studio to record vocals for a number of songs, including the famous 68 Guns.
Leslie Churchill Ward, Acquire's musical director said: "This was a huge honour for everyone in Acquire.
"What a gift it was for us to be able to work with these local legends.
"It was such a fun, positive experience. Mike and Steve were very down-to-earth and we all had lots of laughs throughout the evening. An evening not to be forgotten."
The album revisits The Alarm's Declaration album which was released 30 years ago this week.
Peters, co-founder of the Love Hope Strength Foundation, said: "I had an instinct to include a gospel choir.
"I wanted a sound to represent the soul of the audience who have lived every word on Declaration and whose singing is a huge part of every show The Alarm play.
"Once I heard Acquire sing Blaze of Glory I knew the album was going to be something beyond what I had dared hope for."
Acquire was formed three and a half years ago and has performed in private and public performances throughout North Wales.
The choir has raised several thousand pounds for various charities and organisations including St Kentigern Hospice, St Asaph Mayor's Flood Relief Fund, Vale of Clwyd MIND, and others.
Declaration 2014 is on sale now.

Social Media Networks Facebook Has Outlived: Capazoo Goes Kaput
Walmart's (WMT) The Hub launched in 2006. What teenager wouldn't love to hang out online with other friends at a virtual Walmart? Especially when their parents received notifications if they were busted doing something against The Hub's rules like posting an objectionable video. "Hubsters" stayed away in droves, and this experiment enjoyed a six week lifespan.
Bolt did social networking and video sharing starting in 1996, making it a Facebook contemporary, but that video sharing aspect of Bolt proved problematic — copyright violation resulted in bankruptcy and a year-long shut down of the site — and it never recovered. Bolt closed for good in 2008, no longer posing a threat to FB stock.
While Facebook wanted everyone to join (resulting in the site becoming the social media service your parents and grandparents use), VitalSkate decided to stay cool by focusing membership on skateboarders and extreme sports fans. But, it turns out, that demographic wasn't enough to support a social media site. VitalSkate launched in 2006 and suffered its final sick wipeout in 2008.
Eons tried to do social media for the over 40 crowd, but FB won over those baby boomers. In this case, "Eons" means roughly six years, with the social media site started by a Monster.com co-founder and backed by health benefit provider Humana (HUM), crashing in 2012.
What happens when our neighbors to the North try to create their own social media site and attempt to solve that monetization issue by turning it into a paid membership/pay-for-post pyramid scheme? Capazoo! The social media site launched in 2006, quickly degenerated into a series of lawsuits and fraud and embezzlement accusations, went bankrupt, managed to attract investors for a 2007 relaunch then petered out sometime in 2008. Not every social media site can stage a comeback like FB stock did.

Plea hearing set in case of man who fled county
A Sept. 13 plea hearing is set for a Hubbard County man who fled the county for two months following a shooting incident May 21 near Akeley.
Joshua Wayne Herdina, 35, formerly of Akeley, was arrested by Cass County authorities about a month ago, Hubbard County Sheriff Frank Homer said.
Herdina may enter into a plea bargain in the case, according to the court docket. He is charged with Second Degree Assault and illegal possession of a firearm by a felon, according to the criminal complaint. He made his second court appearance Monday in Hubbard County District Court.
On that day in May a man went to Herdina's father's residence near Akeley to retrieve some property the victim claimed belonged to him.
As the man pulled into the driveway, he heard two gunshots, according to the criminal complaint. "He observed Joshua Wayne Herdina pointing a handgun at him as he walked toward him," the complaint states. "While (the victim) was attempting to leave the property Joshua Herdina began shooting" at him. "It is estimated that Joshua Herdina shot at (the victim) six times, with one of the bullets going through the windshield and lodging in the dashboard of (the victim's) car."
Herdina has an extensive criminal record including convictions for DWI, fleeing, assault and making terroristic threats.

A NEW festival on Portland this weekend celebrates Dorset's finest both below and above the sea.
Fish & Ships at Portland Marina combines a boat show and food festival.
The main show days are on Saturday and Sunday but things get going today with live music and a barbecue.
The free event showcases a variety of water-based craft and fresh food samples as well as watersports demonstrations, boat trips and much more.
There will be around 30 Dorset food and drink stands promoting everything from oysters to chocolate, artisan bread to local cider, and there will be plenty of demonstrations.
The RNLI, Coastwatch, British Marine Federation and Lyme Regis' Boat Building Academy will all be involved in encouraging youngsters to take to the sea and IPACA will display the boats it built with Sunseeker.
As well as promoting Dean & Reddyhoff's Portland Marina, businesses at Osprey Quay will be also opening their doors and showcasing their wares.
Entertainment includes competitions and fun for all the family with crab catching and other games.
The newly-opened Harbour Lights restaurant will provide hot food and the Down House Farm will have hogget on the spit on Friday night.
Marina manager Russ Levett said: "The feeling was that we wanted to do something to promote the marina and Osprey Quay and encourage people to come on site.
"We don't think the area is fantastically well known. I think the perception is that Osprey Quay is about the Olympics and sailing but there are a lot of businesses down here."
He added: "The festival will see boat enthusiasts and foodies come together to showcase the best of Dorset.
"We're very excited to be hosting the first event and hope it will become an annual festival."
Getting things started, a group of cyclists will ride to Portland from Dean & Reddyhoff's other sites at Haslar and East Cowes for the firm's Big Green Cycle Challenge.
They will be encouraging environmental awareness as they pedal the 80+ miles, arriving at Portland about 5pm.
There will be a barbecue and live music on both Friday and Saturday evenings. Shooter will play on Friday and Finn plays on Saturday.

BBC Drama: Shetland Episode One Review
N Conrad
The BBC's latest detective drama made its British TV debut tonight as detective Jimmy Perez waved goodbye to mainland Scotland and set about becoming a crime buster in the archipelago of Shetland. Douglas Henshall (Secrets of Crickley Hall) took on the role of Perez – a softly spoken cop whose low-key style is ideally suited to the windswept isle. If Perez was expecting a quiet homecoming he was in for a rude awakening as not one but two murder mysteries made their way onto his case list.
Stylistically, Shetland was similar to ITV's Vera which is perhaps unsurprising since both shows are based on novels by Ann Cleeves. For now at least, the BBC have only produced two episodes of Shetland but if it's half as successful as Cleeves' other TV adaptation then you can be sure that more episodes will be on the way. Personally, I enjoy somber cop dramas set in bleak locations but it is a crowded market right now with George Gently, Wallander and Vera already filling that niche. Shetland is well made, has a surprisingly fast pace and Henshall is a worthy lead man. It is a good TV drama just as the book it was based on was a quality novel. I am hoping it can attract the ratings it deserves.

text: Culture 5 February 1999 The New Statesman Essay - Think, think and think again Social equality, free health, strong defence: Anne McElvoywants Blair to slaughter more sacred cows. Sign up for our weekly email * It is three years since Tony Blair enjoined centre-left intellectuals to go away and think the unthinkable. Sound-bites are useful but poetry says it better: Read history and see The headlong flight of invincible armies Wherever you look Impregnable strongholds collapse And if the Armada was countless when it set sail The returning ships Could be counted So one day a man stood at the summit Of the unscalable mountain And a man sailed across The uncrossable sea Bertolt Brecht is an unlikely new Labour laureate. But the Blairite party is founded on what was once unthinkable - the revision of the Clause Four commitment to public ownership, ducked from Hugh Gaitskell to John Smith. It was an important step not because of what replaced it, which was a fudgy and unmemorable communitarian construct, but because it heralded a readiness to break through the accumulated carapace of Labour musts and mustn'ts. The unthinkables I will outline here will strike some as a renegade's view of the centre left, many of which must be wrong because they are supported on the right. Think again. Nothing is so boring as the apportioning of views and people who hold them into little boxes: as in, "You can't do/think X because if you do, you're not left-wing". To paraphrase Brecht: says who? Often in Labour's case, the party/intellectual establishment's definition of what is unthinkable is more timid than the public's. Intellectuals of the left-of-centre, for instance, are disproportionately influenced by the egalitarianism of Rawls and Dworkin. Yet Labour's own focus groups suggest that the word "equality" does not go down so well with the public, which is rightly sceptical of the practicality of enforcing equal conditions. Tony Blair's core strength as a politician is that he has no shame in altering previously held convictions to new circumstances and finding new means to old ends. My fear, however, is not that he will challenge Labour tradition too much but that his government will mistake rhetoric for action and end up altering Britain too little. Here are the unthinkables at the top of my agenda: Campaign for less equalityThe left's obsession with equality has distorted its goal of a fairer society. Once a demand for more equality is admitted as the central political philosophy, it quickly becomes insatiable. There can never be enough equality for an egalitarian. Equality diverts attention to the rich at the expense of relieving poverty; it tends to disadvantage those it sets out to help because it creates incentives for the better-off to flee egalitarian institutions, making them worse. The centre left should stand for an alleviated meritocracy - that is, a system which provides high minimum standards and the best possible chance for everyone to live a fulfilled life. Unlike egalitarians, meritocrats do not assume that the outcomes should be the same. And unlike supporters of equality of opportunity, they accept that opportunity will never be equally spread, or the playing field truly level, because the better-off will always be able to provide a better start in life for their children. Contrary to the egalitarians, meritocrats do not believe that inequality is the greatest evil. Deprivation, misery and hopelessness are far worse fates. Instead, meritocrats want to promote and open up access to excellence so that social mobility, as far as possible, reflects true merit. But a new Labour meritocracy must also accept that governments should make provision for those not blessed with the gifts to take the chances on offer. An unalleviated meritocracy, the kind parodied by Michael Young in the 1950s and Roy Hattersley today, would take only minimal account of the poor by installing a safety net. Centre-left meritocracy addresses the factors that keep people poor and create cycles of deprivation. That is neither a cheap nor a callous option. Free the schoolsIntended to promote a more equal society through education, comprehensives make up 85 per cent of state schools. Instead of bringing out the best across the ability range, they produce far too many school-leavers who lack basic skills, while many more in the middle and higher ability ranges underperform. Yet the traditional Labour response is: "We can't give up on comprehensives because that would mean going back to the 11-plus." The principle is defended not as good in its own right, but simply because it is not something else, a shocking abrogation of responsibility for its failures. Education is the only policy area I can think of in which the only major alternative to the status quo is deemed to be the status quo ante - in this case the Butler Education Act of 1944, which was never fully implemented. We should accept that a variety of schools, variously funded, will produce better overall results than the present homogenised model which even the egalitarian sociologist A H Halsey thinks too inflexible. New Labour's proposals to tender out failing schools and to threaten the privatisation of poorly performing local education authorities is just a start. Some schools should be run by business, some by churches, others by third-sector (voluntary) institutions. Some should select academically gifted pupils, others specialise in subjects from sport to music. Yet others, for the sake of pupils who need more time to learn, should concentrate on a smaller number of skills than those demanded by the sprawling national curriculum. To make this a fair market and to redistribute opportunities, the charitable status of private schools should be phased out. Parents should be given vouchers to pay for their children's education, with poorer families getting higher-value vouchers. Critics say that if schools are freed from the state, some will be "run for profit". This is not the point. Schools should be run for the good of pupils. I can't see why anyone should object if a profit is made along the way. They might also remember that, while the free-marketeer Adam Smith believed that the state should provide education, the ur-radical Thomas Paine favoured a state that facilitated it, but allowed different types of school to flourish. Introduce NHS chargesThe National Health Service as a provider of free and equal care was the postwar Labour government's greatest achievement. But victories do not last for ever. The NHS today is outdated and over-stretched. It is neither equal nor universal. The endless, sterile argument between the parties about who is spending more/fiddling the waiting list figures more craftily is two decades out of date. Decisions about who should receive new treatments or drugs are taken randomly with wild variations between health authorities. The universal right to free treatment is widely breached. It is time to acknowledge that some treatments must be rationed by means other than waiting lists and to find the fairest and most cost-effective way to provide free core services, topped up by payments for non-essential treatments and non-medical costs of hospital stays. This would entail breaking up the cartel-like private insurance schemes and restoring tax relief on private healthcare for the over-60s. Those who palpitate at the very use of the words charges and NHS in one sentence might consider the fate of dentistry, from which the NHS has steadily and stealthily removed itself over the past decade. NHS dental patients pay some 80 per cent of the charges. Even the most committed public-sector dentist will often advise patients to pay more for the private option because the publicly funded service cannot keep pace with innovations in dental care. Act on welfare reformThe unthinkable has been thought twice already - by Frank Field, who was deemed too extreme, and by Harriet Harman, who was not considered extreme enough. New Labour acknowledges that, in far too many cases, dependency on the welfare state is not just a waste of money, but a waste of lives. It is, however, nervous about embracing the degree of compulsion on welfare-to-work schemes that is needed to ensure they function more efficiently. The Department of Social Security has revived an old unthinkable by piloting a variant on the Tory workfare scheme, requiring that claimants take a job when it is offered or forfeit benefit. Pilot schemes are a marvellous way of slowing down implementation of a policy. Either you believe in workfare, in which case get on with it, or you don't, in which case pilot schemes won't help. The New Deal is also crying out for a more rigorous assessment of its effectiveness than the questionable claim that the mere act of diverting money to the young unemployed is a good thing in itself. The whole welfare state needs a more rational design than merely prodding the reluctant to work. It is still viewed too much as an entitlement and not as a safety net, much less a trampoline. The government is too shy in reforming middle-class benefits. Universal child benefit and pensions are still defended by the government as giving the middle classes a stake in the welfare state. But it is a costly and inefficient stake. Better to divert the money to public goods such as a truly integrated transport system and better urban planning, which affect everyone. Decentralise - and mean itThe 1997 Labour manifesto promised to end the rate-capping of local councils - or to be precise, "crude and universal" rate- capping. Crude, universal or otherwise, rate-capping is still in place. The commitment to redress the centralisation of the Thatcher years is being studiously neglected. A manifesto commitment to end the standardised business rate has similarly dwindled into an unmentionable. The government has a powerful cabinet enforcer in Jack Cunningham. It has more pressing need of a cabinet decentraliser. The result of denying local government powers over everyday matters is predictably negative. Ministers end up defending decisions of which they have little detailed knowledge and even less direct influence. The town halls lag behind the new Labour centre in modernising because there is so little incentive for imaginative and ambitious people to seek election. New Labour's objection to allowing local councils more freedom is that they will abuse it by spending wildly on dubious or inefficient services. But the growth of the evaluative state - which does not dictate how money should be spent, but whether those who spend it are getting sufficient value - means that local councils are less free to go wild with taxpayers' money. The alternative to stronger local government is bad local government and the proliferation of the quangocracy - the least accountable form of public administration. If Blair is still concerned about the inability of local councils to reflect the interests of local citizens, the removal of rate-capping could be accompanied by reforms in council elections. The American primary system allows a far more direct identification between voters and those they elect. The idea horrifies my new Labour friends because it would lead to old Labour candidates standing against modernisers. But Blairites must get used to being tested at local as well as national level. Ban the bombWhen the cold war was under way and the Soviet Union posed a serious threat to the security of the west, the Labour Party was in favour of unilateral disarmament and swingeing cuts in defence expenditure. Now the cold war is over, it embraces Trident and the Eurofighter, a project already on the way to obsolescence. The suggestion that Britain's extremely high defence expenditure should be questioned is a new Labour unthinkable, mainly because any discussion reminds the modernisers painfully of the divisions of the 1980s. But it makes far greater sense to be a unilateralist in 1999 than it did in 1989. Last year's defence review was remarkable only for how little defence was reviewed in it. We must debate whether we need the deterrent and why we spend so much on defence for a small country without immediate enemies. Too many British defence priorities hark back to the cold war, from the commitment to maintain submarines in the North Atlantic to the survival of the RAF. The armed forces' producer interests have gone unchallenged. The UK forces still have a policy of global reach - absurdly, given that we have surrendered Hong Kong, the last territory whose defence might have required it. Our so-called security interest in the South Atlantic, expensively conceived by the Tories in order to justify the Falklands war, ex post facto, is a chimera. We have no strategic interest there. The Falklands should be returned to Argentina by negotiated settlement. Learn to love the individualIn his early attempt to find a central philosophy distinct from the collectivism of old Labour, Blair opted for a vague embrace of American communitarianism without seeing the intellectual honey traps. The trouble with the cosy ideal of communities striving for a single purpose is that it neglects individual freedoms and ends up imposing authoritarianism in the name of the common good. As the late Isaiah Berlin pointed out, the rights of individual citizens are nowhere more vulnerable than to a benign government's conviction that it knows what they really want. If there is one overriding risk to the Blair project, it is that it will reduce individual freedoms. Examples of its illiberalism include reducing the burden of proof needed to convict terrorist suspects; the proposed "three strikes and you're out" policy; and, in its disregard for the importance of individual circumstances in a criminal case, the erosion of judges' discretionary powers in sentencing. New Labour is anxious to re-create the pre-1914 radical alliance of the left with liberalism, but there is not much sign that it understands the meaning of the word beyond a commitment to lifestyle choice. Blair wrote to Isaiah Berlin asking if he would help new Labour in "appropriating the liberal tradition", to which I like to think Berlin would have replied that liberalism cannot be appropriated by a collective entity and especially not government. That is why it is liberal and worth fighting for. And finally . . . truly, madly, deeply unthinkableDo not support Britain's bid to host the 2006 World Cup. It will ruin a perfectly nice summer and divert the police from more important tasks. The anti-climax when we are beaten by Argentina in the quarter-finals will cause a mid-second-term government crisis and explode the myth of Cool Britannia. Some may object that my unthinkables could easily command support from Tories. (All the better: they'll keep voting Labour.) But to my mind, what ought to be distinctive about the centre left is its belief that the government should actively promote redistribution of opportunity. The Conservative Party is too attached to privilege and vested interests to embrace such an aim. It had its chance to reform education - the key to meritocracy - but it failed because too few leading Tories cared enough about state schools. Further, the reformist drive of Tories such as William Hague is undermined by the party's exaggerated respect for the status quo and the mystical bounds of tradition. The pursuit of alleviated meritocracy demands a willingness to upend entrenched views and interests. That is why it is so suited to the centre left today.

THOUSANDS of Bromsgrove residents took part in a successful fundraiser for a town charity.
The Forget Me Not walk, challenging participants to do a one, three, five, eight or 12-mile walk, was held on Sunday, (June 8).
The event was first held in 2008, organised by Stoke Heath fundraiser Nicole Harris to raise money for the Bromsgrove branch of Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research.
There were 186 participants in the latest event, including a number of children.
Walks started and finished at Sanders Park with children collecting a medal for finishing.
An impressive £8,000 was raised for the charity, which will be added to the thousands already raised during the annual fun run held earlier this year.
Nicole said: "We had a fantastic day.
"I would like to thank everyone who took part and helped on the day, and to the generosity of the Bromsgrove public - who are so supportive and have helped us to raise this fantastic figure.
"We are now getting closer to our target - £1 million."

WASHINGTON (Dec. 18)
Rep. Larry Smith (D. Fla.), who returned here last week from a meeting in Israel of young American and Israeli young Jewish leaders, said there is a need for American Jews and Israelis to learn more about each other.
"We are as naive about them as they are about us," said Smith, who was one of two Congressmen who participated in the first World Assembly of Young Jewish Leadership as part of the United Jewish Appeal Young Leadership Cabinet. The other Congressman was Rep. Dan Glickman (D. Kan.).
Speaking to two reporters from the Jewish media in his Capitol Hill office Friday, Smith said the Israeli and American Jews had three-and-a-half days of "gut-wrenching" discussions of the issues. He said it was agreed that there had to be a continuing dialogue with more input by diaspora Jews and more Israelis visiting the United States so that they could "understand how things operate here."
Smith said there was much discussion on the need to change the way aliya is promoted in the United States and how those who, having gone on aliya, are dealt with after they arrive in Israel.
Regarding aliya by American Jews, Smith said that Zionism has little meaning for American Jews, with very few of them belonging to Zionist organizations. He suggested this started when Israel became a nation in 1948. "When 'next year in Jerusalem' became a reality, then many diaspora Jews who could have made aliya didn't have to, " the Congressman explained. "They could be next year in Jerusalem and then go home and enjoy the material comforts of being an American Jew. They had the best of both worlds."
Smith said that there was a consensus between the Americans and the Israelis on the need to change the way the World Zionist Organization and the Jewish Agency operate. He said the Americans particularly objected that everything in the two institutions was politicized and argued there was a need to de-politicize them.
He said there was a feeling that the young Israelis, who would be the future leaders of these institutions, agreed. He said that while change was "urgent," it did not have to come immediately but could be more gradual.
The Israelis stressed the need for Jewish education and particularly the learning of Hebrew in the diaspora, Smith said. He noted that in reply the Americans expressed concern about the secularism of Israeli society, on the one hand, and the dominance of Orthodox Jewry on the other.
But Smith warned that "we tend to look at their problems with our solutions and that is unfair." He said American Jews must understand more the "pressures" of Israeli society.
Before going to Israel, Smith and Glickman met with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak in Cairo. Smith said he corrected some of the "misperceptions" that Mubarak seemed to have about the new United States-Israeli agreement on strategic cooperation. He said he assured Mubarak that the agreement would have no effect on United States-Egyptian relations nor will it mean any reduction of U.S. aid to Egypt. But Smith, a freshman member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said that he stressed to Mubarak that Congressmen, who seek reelection every year, "need our friends to cooperate with each other. "
Smith said, speaking later to Israeli Premier Yitzhak Shamir, that Shamir said it was "unfortunate" that the Arab states "felt compelled" to attack the agreement. But he said this was a problem for the United States, not for Israel.
Smith said he felt that the agreement only ratified what had been policy but that it was helpful in that instead of having a short-term policy, the United States now had a long-term strategy. He said the Reagan Administration had finally caught up to what Congress had been arguing in favor for a year.

Republican Response To Obama's Trayvon Martin Comment
March 28, 2012 by staff
Republican Response To Obama's Trayvon Martin Comment, Newt Gingrich on Monday defended his comments criticizing President Obama's response to the death of Florida teen Trayvon Martin, saying the president should have empathy for all families — not just black families — who lose a child.
"Every single American of every background is endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, the pursuit of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We should be concerned about any young American of any background who ends up getting killed," Gingrich said during an interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer.
He was asked to respond to the administration's criticism over his initial remarks on the subject, when he termed 'disgraceful' Obama's remarks that if he had a son, that son would look like Martin.
White House senior adviser David Plouffe said on CNN Sunday that Gingrich's comments were "irresponsible" and "reprehensible." But Gingrich stood by his remarks when he was asked to respond on Monday.
He recalled a visit by his wife, Callista, to a children's cancer ward in the Tulane Children's Hospital. "She was dealing with very young children. she came back and she described me 3-year-olds with leukemia. They were not children of a certain color, but they were children. we should be concerned about children of every background and all too often we're not," he said.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 27/6/2014 (1148 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
An unstable weather system will bring 40 to 50 millimetres of rain across much of southern Manitoba by July 1, exacerbating provincial flood concerns.
In a flood update issued Friday, the province said strong winds are forecast to be part of the low-pressure system, raising concerns for cottage owners.
Flood warnings continue for the Assiniboine River from the Shellmouth Dam to Brandon, at all points along the Winnipeg River system including Nutimik Lake in Whiteshell Provincial Park, and for Lake St. Martin and Dauphin Lake.
A flood watch is in place for Lake Manitoba and Lake Winnipeg.
The province has issued high water advisories for all points along the Red and Saskatchewan rivers. The Red is forecast to rise to 16.7 feet at James Avenue in downtown Winnipeg in the next week.
Earlier this week, the province said it might operate the Red River Floodway to lower the river to protect Winnipeg basements from flooding, depending on rainfall forecasts.
The province advises that some roads leading to cottages in the Nutimik Lake area may be affected by flooding in the coming days. There are already reports of boathouses being flooded, and some sandbagging is underway.
Sandbags are available for cottagers. Call Seven Sisters District Office at (204) 348-4004 for more information.
The province said, if possible, cottagers at Nutimik Lake should consider pumping out septic tanks that may be affected by overland flooding and refilling them with water to prevent them from overflowing or being badly damaged.
Provincial campgrounds are also being affected by flooding. Sites are affected at Birch Point, Watchorn, St. Malo, Rainbow Beach, Camp Morton, Falcon Beach Campground and Falcon Lakeshore Campground.
All campers with reservations for affected sites should have been contacted directly. Up to date information on campgrounds and campsite reservations can be found at https://prspub.gov.mb.ca/.
Meanwhile, states of local emergency continue for three rural municipalities — the RMs of Arthur, Edward and Wallace — in the province's southwestern corner due to excessive rainfall.
And the province said Lake Winnipeg is forecast to rise to 716.1 feet above sea level by late July. The lake's regulated range is between 711 and 715 feet.
The government said Manitoba Hydro is operating its control structures at the outlet of Lake Winnipeg to allow for maximum possible outflows from the lake.

Tips When Facing A Legal Battle
Going through a difficult legal battle may feel like one of the most stressful experiences that you have ever been through. However, it is important to make the right moves in order to ensure that things go a lot smoother than they otherwise would. It is vital to take things one step at a time and determine the process by which you are going to give yourself the best chances of being successful when you have been wronged by another party. Many times, people give up on the idea of getting compensation simply because they feel it would be too difficult or time consuming to do so. If this is the measure that you take with your case, you will only have to deal with increased suffering without any chance of getting all that you deserve. While legal problems can seem difficult and stressful, you have the power to make this a lot easier on yourself.
Do not allow fear to prevent you from moving forward. Even if you have never been in a legal situation in the past, it is important to do what is within your best interests. Simply remembering that you are responsible for taking care of your own needs would give you the strength to continue moving forward when things seem to be impossible. The natural thing to do may be to shy away from the work that is involved with your case, but this is not something that you need to do. Instead, decide that you are willing to take the measures which are needed in order to bring compensation into your life. The best thing that you could do to help yourself would be to search for solicitors in berkshire today. When you have the ability to turn to a great legal team, you will begin to feel the power of doing what is right for yourself and the members of your family.
A great lawyer could be all that is currently standing between you and the money that you need in order to change the life that you are living today. Money could be the key to opening up treatment options that you lack at the moment. Additionally, this would give you financial flexibility within your life. Many people are placed in a position where they are going to have difficulty finding work for some time to come. When this becomes a prolonged issue within your life, it is vital that you obtain a source of money. The easiest way for you to do this would be holding those that have harmed you responsible for the suffering that you have been through. Selecting the best solicitors in berkshire would be a matter of deciding that experience would be what you are interested in when putting your future in the hands of someone else. Once you factor in things such as experience and ability to get results, you will find the legal team that is going to be the key to success with your case.

River Ambassador for Kids
Why Choose River Ambassador?
- Beautifully-designed, sumptuous interiors
- Friendly, helpful crew
- Shore excursions and wine with dinner included
River Ambassador for Families
There are no special facilities for kids but families are welcome; our cruise was, in fact, designated a family special, with separate family excursions, a kids' menu and a Wii room, but River Ambassador won't necessarily be the ship allocated for these itineraries in future. Although the family departures were new when we sailed, the crew coped brilliantly, interacting with the kids, the galley laying on special menus and the cruise manager even conducting a 'behind the scenes' tour, with no adults allowed. For multi-generational families, or those seeking a cultural experience geared to all ages, these departures are highly recommended.
But kids who need a lot of entertainment and can't sit still through dinner might be better suited to a cruise on a large, ocean-going ship.

Meijer Latest 'Simply Give' Food Drive to Benefit 191 Midwest Food Banks
For the fifth time in less than 18 months, Meijer is inviting shoppers to help it restock the shelves of about 191 local food banks as part of its "Simply Give" food pantry donation program.
For the fifth time in less than 18 months, Meijer is inviting shoppers to help it restock the shelves of about 191 local food banks as part of its "Simply Give" food pantry donation program.
The two-month program — the Grand Rapids, Mich.-based regional grocer's fifth such effort since the initiative's inception in November 2008 — seeks to lend a hand to the increasing number of food pantries struggling to keep up with the growing demand for their services. Meijer's latest "Simply Give" operation will run through May 15, while two other food drives are scheduled for the late summer and early fall of this year.
As in previous efforts, the program encourages Meijer shoppers to purchase a $10 Meijer Food Pantry Donation Card at special displays throughout the store. The donation cards are then converted into Meijer Gift cards and given to the local food pantry selected by the store. As it has done in the past, Meijer is seeding the Simply Give program with $100,000 in grocery gift cards that will be divided equally among all of the participating food pantries.
"This program is a testament to the compassion our shoppers have toward their neighbors," said Hank Meijer, co-chairman and CEO and the eponymous family-held chain that operates 191 stores throughout Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky.
The four earlier Simply Give initiatives have raised more than $1 million in food donations that have gone directly to local food banks and pantries. Each one of Meijer's stores has identified a local organization to receive the grocery donations.
In addition, the charitable-minded Meijer also donates more than 6 percent of its net profit annually to a broad group of charities and organizations throughout the five states where its stores are located. The Simply Give program drills down even deeper by ensuring the benefit is recognized in the same community where the specific Meijer is located.

Make sure the reservoir at the tip of the condom is pointing in the right direction before putting it on. Squeeze the tip to let out air, and gently roll it down. If anything goes wrong, make sure to start over with a new condom! Use silicone or water based lubricant during intercourse to prevent dryness, even with lubricated condoms.
Never use condoms with oil based fluids like massage oils as they will make them porous!
Don't store condoms together with sharp objects, e.g. in your wallet.
All condoms you order on Lovetreats come with a detailed guide to ensure right usage.
Expert Tips
Put a drop of lubricant on the head of the penis before putting on a condom for a smooth experience.

Everybody Wants A Piece Of The Air
The daily buzz of cell-phone calls, BlackBerry messages, and laptop Web surfing fills the airwaves and frees millions of people to communicate from bike trails and coffeehouses. But wireless service providers are poised to turn even more of the rituals of life into life-on-the-go. To achieve their goals, they're eyeing a rich prize from Uncle Sam: the airwaves long occupied by TV broadcasters that could soon be up for grabs.
This summer, perhaps even before Congress heads home for its July 4th recess, a key committee is expected to introduce legislation that would require TV stations to go all-digital and relinquish their analog airwaves by Dec. 31, 2008. That would complete the push launched in 1996, when Congress gave local stations an extra set of airwaves to go digital. The stations, which fear losing viewers who lack digital TV sets, have long fought the move. But the bill finally appears to have a decent chance of passing. Lawmakers are eager to collect the $10 billion the Congressional Budget Office is privately telling Hill aides that spectrum sales could reap. And that has made Republicans more amenable to Democratic demands that the government subsidize analog-to-digital converter boxes for households that can't afford new digital TVs.
A few years will pass before the spectrum comes available, but it could set off a gold rush among companies seeking to meet demand for wireless services. The market for wireless data, ranging from broadband to TV on cell phones, could jump from $7.6 billion this year to $38 billion in 2014, according to Kagan Research LLC. Cellular carriers, cable giants, satellite-TV companies, and broadband startups all need more elbow room on the air. The frequencies potentially up for grabs are among the best available, carrying signals for miles and traveling through walls. "They can leap tall buildings in a single bound," says Charlie Townsend, CEO of Aloha Partners, a wireless broadband startup in Providence.
Freeing up the spectrum could improve the chances of wireless emerging as a third broadband competitor to the Bells, which offer DSL and fiber-optic-based services, and cable companies, with their high-speed modems. In 2002 federal regulators sold a small portion of the airwaves used by analog TV broadcasts. The big winners -- Aloha and Qualcomm Inc. -- provide a glimpse into the businesses that bidders for the spectrum might pursue. Aloha, for instance, wants to use its airwaves to build broadband services in rural and suburban communities now ignored by the Bell and cable companies. It will launch a trial in Tucson shortly to sell broadband access at prices ranging from $30 to $75, depending on speed. Aloha will target small-business users.
Gaining access to more spectrum could also help other wireless broadband players competing with the Bells and cable companies. News Corp.'s DirecTV, for example, now markets broadband via satellite to bolster its competitive arsenal against cable -- but the dish technology that links consumers' PCs to the satellite uplink still causes some delays. It could use some airwaves to provide a cheaper, faster terrestrial wireless link.
Other competitors could emerge with the impending rollout of WiMax, a new wireless broadband standard that can carry data 10 or more miles in open countryside. Opening up the TV airwaves could allow small startups to mount a cost-effective WiMax alternative to today's big broadband players. Craig O. McCaw's ClearWire Inc., which is already offering wireless broadband, declined to comment on whether it will bid for the TV spectrum. But those frequencies, with their long-ranging signals, would probably let wireless companies cover more territory with fewer transmission towers, lowering the cost of building up the network.
Still, startups eyeing the spectrum will face deep-pocketed competitors. Wireless and cable giants -- and even Hollywood studios -- could gobble up the spectrum to deliver next-generation services, such as TV viewing on cell phones. Qualcomm, which acquired airwaves in the 2002 auction, will launch a service for wireless carriers next year to deliver TV clips from the likes of ABC News, ESPN, the Weather Channel, A&E, and other programmers to cell phones. Inspired by the success of such services in South Korea and Japan, Qualcomm is pouring $800 million into its MediaFLO USA Inc. subsidiary to push this initiative. More spectrum could prove useful if it comes on tap. "If you like TV, you'll probably like having TV programming available all the time," says MediaFLO general manager Jeff Lorbeck.
Cellular carriers, too, may want to own this service. They'll have a chance to bid for new airwaves for advanced voice and data services in an auction as early as next year, but they may still want a shot later at the airwaves vacated by the TV guys. Why? Operating their mobile TV in a channel separate from the frequencies they use for voice services would avoid straining capacity.
Cable operators could also see the new airwaves as a way to shore up their business models. Cable doesn't own any wireless phone services -- and thus could take a while to match the package of TV, Internet, land-line, and mobile-phone services that their Bell competitors are readying. Comcast (CMCSA ), Time Warner Cable (TWX ), Charter Communications (CHTR ), and Cox Communications have formed a consortium to help formulate a wireless strategy. It could include over-the-air delivery of both voice and TV services using the newly available spectrum.
None of the cable giants will comment on whether they will bid for the spectrum. And in the fast-evolving wireless world, 2009 is a generation away. But if the airwaves long monopolized by local TV are finally unlocked, life is certain to get ever more mobile.

Charter Communications Statement Regarding FCC Chairman Wheeler's Proposal On Joint Retransmission Consent Negotiations
March 06, 2014 --
STAMFORD, Conn., March6, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --Charter Communications today released the following statement in response to FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler's announcement regarding his proposal to limit joint retransmission consent negotiations.
"The chief factor in rising cable rates for consumers is the increasing cost of programming. Broadcasters jointly negotiating retransmission consent agreements has contributed not only to increased rates for consumers but also the number and severity of programming blackouts. Chairman Wheeler's proposal is a sensible way to ensure consumers are not held hostage by unfair collusion by broadcasters. We applaud this action and wholeheartedly support the efforts of the FCC to address this issue in a way that will directly and positively impact consumers."

Data breach is an experience no business wants to go through — and yet, it happens to the best of them, both large and small. Mitigating the damage of a data breach is critical, especially when it comes to rebuilding trust among your customers. In fact, how you handle that challenge could determine whether or not you stay in business.
According to the recent Interactions study "Retail's Reality: Shopping Behavior After Security Breaches", 44 percent of shoppers surveyed said their personal information had been stolen as part of a security breach. Within that group, 85 percent had told others about their experience, 33.5 percent had used social media to complain about their experience and 20 percent had commented directly on the retailer's website.
Additionally — and perhaps most worrisome for merchants — 45 percent of shoppers indicated that they do not trust retailers to keep their personal information safe. When shoppers knew that their retailer had experienced a security breach, 12 percent said they had stopped shopping at that retailer, and 36 percent said they would shop there less frequently.
"When shoppers' information is exposed, not only does it damage the store brand reputation, but it also impacts profitability and productivity throughout the entire organization," said Giovanni DeMeo, Vice President of Global Marketing and Analytics at Interactions, in a prepared statement. "Whether or not your store has been directly affected by a data disaster, shoppers now perceive retailers differently – and are changing their shopping behaviors because of it."
The 2013 Cost of Data Breach Study: Global Analysis from the Ponemon Institute estimates that it costs U.S. businesses $188 per record lost in a data breach, and that's before lost productivity and sales are factored into the mix. The importance of having a plan in place to deal with data breach and its fallout is clear.
As Will Pelgrin, president and CEO for the Center for Internet Security, told Business News Daily recently, part of that plan is knowing whom to call for help and being upfront with customers about what has happened. "I am a big believer in it's not if bad things happen, but how you react when bad things happen," he said. "That shows the quality of the company and that shows the quality of the individuals that work for that company."
As a reputable payment processor, TransFirst® should be part of your business's data breach protection plan. We can help you achieve and maintain compliance with payment card industry regulations that lay out and govern specific security measures that must be followed by businesses that accept credit and debit cards. This is known as PCI compliance.
Then we take it a step further by offering a Data Breach Security Program that helps our merchants meet the expenses associated with a suspected or actual breach of payment card data, regardless of the member business's PCI compliance status as long as the owner is not involved in the breach. The program covers a forensic audit, meets industry fines and assessments in the event of an unintended breach of confidential customer information, and issuer-related expenses that cover card replacements costs, credit monitoring and other expenses related to a breach.
The complete package — PCI compliance and a data breach security program — from TransFirst can help you anticipate and prepare for a potential data breach and manage the fallout should a breach occur, allowing you to concentrate on dealing with your customers and salvaging your professional reputation.

Raymond Medlen, 78, received a letter warning him that he could be taken to court and could lose his home over the unpaid water charge.
When his sister went to the office of Orbit South housing association to pay the money, staff refused to accept it from her.
They said they would have to see her brother, or at least have proof he wished her to deal with the case for him.
His sister, Maureen Price, condemned Orbit South housing association for their "appalling" treatment of Mr Medlen.
She said : "He had a massive stroke followed by a quadruple bypass and spent six months in hospital.
"He is not a well man and should not have had to spend the whole weekend worrying about the action the letter threatened.
"I think it's disgusting and should not have taken all this time to sort out."
Mr Medlen, from Slade Green, Kent, had increased his standing order to cover a 14p-a-month rise in his water charges.
He had made the change at the bank two weeks before, but it appears the money had not been received by the time the warning letter was sent.
Jane Patterson, head of income at Orbit South in Erith, said: "The system automatically generates reminder letters for arrears over £10 and, in this instance, a possession order letter was sent by mistake.
"We apologise for any distress or inconvenience to Mr Medlen and his family.
"We would like to reassure Mr Medlen that we are not looking to take any formal action against him and, to explain this, we have arranged for a team member to contact him directly."

To Beautiful - Poem by Lubov Treyal
You are to beautiful
I must leave you now.
I turn towards the door.
Twist the knob slowly and walk out.
Shutting the door behind me.
I stop. Lower my head. Spin around.
I stare at the door. At the black metal, dented, battered up door.
Knowing that there is a beautiful woman right on the other side, wondering why I just walked out.
It's your beauty I keep repeating myself. It's your beauty my Love.
I place my hand on the cold, hard, dark door.
Only to feel your warm, soft, bright face.
As I wonder to myself.
How can this be?
I look up and question myself, as I stand before you.
Why can't I leave?
It's your beauty, I recollect.
It's your beauty that has me coming back.
I have to leave. I think to myself.
I have to go.
I need you.
I cannot stay with you.
I want you.
I must walk out that door.
I so desperately need to have you.
I HAVE to walk out that damn door.
I raised my head.
Look into your deep brown eyes.
Follow your dark silky hair down your body as it hits every curve.
I can feel my eyes widen with excitement.
Oh so beautiful that soul.
I MUST leave. I MUST.
I will stay.
You are to beautiful for me.
