We need immigration law that will be fair to migrant workers
WestGranger West Valley City, UtahJuly 26, 2012 9:43 p.m.
Nation wide labor shortages would not exist if US teenagers and unemployed workers were willing to slave away in the hot sun all day for minimum wage.The current immigration system , in its effect, is not allowing temporary migrant workers to come to the USA legally. If Mexicans were able to come here legally, work for a season, and return home, they would certainly choose that option over the one that might include risking their lives in walking 150 miles in the hot sun in rough terrain, with inadequate provisions under the constant threat of violent attack.Things are very bad in Mexico. 50,000 dead in recent years on the border. Secure the border, but its time to come up with a more reasonable solution to "illegal alien" human beings who have been here for years.

"We need immigration law that will be fair to migrant workers"
We don't need any immigrants. We have millions of unemployed Americans looking for work... and millions who have stopped looking. Immigrants just take up the work these unemployed should be taking. And don't say Am3ericans won't take these jobs because of low wages. Kick the immigrants out, who are depressing wages, and wages will rise. Employers will raise wages if there is a scarcity of wotkers.
That's how it all works. Letting immigrants in depresses wages and puts our workers on unemployment, sucking up billions of tax dollars in unemployment benefits. God help us!

SLars, Richard B,
don't tell la rasa (or whatever the hispanic advocacy group is called) that Chavez opposed illegal immigration - they won't know what to do with themselves.
And let's talk about Draconian rules, shall we? I used to live in Washington state, which has a large fruit industry that uses migrant workers, (most, I believe, were legal at the time). There were a number of orchard operators who saw their workers living out of cars or tents, so they built housing for them. The housing had running water and electricity, indoor plumbing, etc. They were safe, confortable, and warm, but was not up to every code and spec required for permanent residential housing. So some "migrant worker" advocates raised an issue and such housing was outlawed. The farmers could not afford to bring the housing up to the new requirements, so they had to shut them down and the workers went back to living in cars and tents. Please tell me how that benefited anyone.

Bill Maxwell was raised in a migrant American family. He knows Americans can do the work. It's interesting that a man who once worked for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, would go against it's leaders.
In 1969, Ralph Abernathy, whom alert readers will recognize as Martin Luther King's successor as head of the Southern Leadership Conference, along with Chavez actually led a march to the Mexican border to protest illegal immigration.
SLars Provo, UTJuly 25, 2012 7:22 p.m.
Tampa bay times writer? really?
In 1979 testimony to Congress, Chavez complained, "... when the farm workers strike and their strike is successful, the employers go to Mexico and have unlimited, unrestricted use of illegal alien strikebreakers to break the strike. And, for over 30 years, the Immigration and Naturalization Service has looked the other way and assisted in the strikebreaking. I do not remember one single instance in 30 years where the Immigration service has removed strikebreakers. ... The employers use professional smugglers to recruit and transport human contraband across the Mexican border for the specific act of strikebreaking..."
They are destroying our labor market using American tax dollars.
SLars Provo, UTJuly 25, 2012 7:15 p.m.
I dislike the use of cliches and truisms also. And this is full of them. There is no mythical American/Protestant work ethic, work is determined by the person, not their heritage.
Draconian rules??? Ah yes, the open border cry of oppression over our current moderate laws that are more liberal than 99% of the world. Everything is Draconian except amnesty, right?
"average Americans lack the skills and toughness to do farm work" insulting Americans won't get you anywhere. I've worked in the fruit business. I got out because I could not compete with farmers that used illegal help. Some Americans were migrants also. Generation after generation that went from farm to farm. But the cheap labor drove them out.
The H-2a works, it's easy to fill out, and you only need to fill it out once for any number of workers. Farmers like the taxpayers to foot the bill with illegal labor. With the visa, they have to pay for medical and housing. Welfare for the 1%.
Alfred Salt Lake City, UTJuly 25, 2012 3:18 p.m.
The reason farm and other stoop-work jobs pay so poorly is because we continue to have a flood of immigrants who will work for almost nothing, depressing the wages for others. What needs to be done is to shut down labor immigration which will automatically raise wages for Americans. Farmers and other employers of cheap labor will have to get the work done or they go out of business.
And why do this? Because we have 15 million unemployed Americans sitting home playing video games for something to do... We also have about that many illegals taking Americans' jobs. The answer is very simple... cut down on the hiring of immigrants, both legal and illegal, at least until we can get our unemployment rate down. Result... our unemployment will plummet, our payouts for unemployment benefits will plummet, our tax revenues will rise. All good results.
We must get our immigrant situation under control or it will ruin us as a nation. Remember, a nation without borders is not a nation. It's just a bunch or real estate that everyone tromps across at will.
1conservative WEST VALLEY CITY, UTJuly 25, 2012 6:34 a.m.
This article is so full of half-truths, false inferences, and outright fibbs that its' hard to know where to start to rebut the opinion expressed!
Americans WILL do seasonal labor (especially teens)but the farmers need to pay minimum wage, something the farmers are reluctant to do when they can hire illegal trespassers for half that.
70-80% of the LEGAL American public would like immigration laws to be enforced, so that can't be ALL "tea-partiers"! Most rank-and-file Demos. join with conservative groups (one of the few times they do)in asking for enforcement of immigration laws. They may have different reasons, but asking for enforcement is NOT an "R" or "D" issue!
I've often wondered: How would the author feel if HIS job was replaced with an illegal alien trespasser?
This may come as a shock to the author, but NOT ALL the illegal alien trespassers are working on farms.
Ali999 Lansing, MIJuly 25, 2012 6:34 a.m.
The author claims that farmworkers are skilled, yet the average wage for such "skilled" labor is only $10.07 an hour, according to a 2009 USDA study. Moreover, the trend has been for the median income of farmworkers to fall far below the poverty level, $11,000 or less.
Fact is, farmers want cheap labor that they can stick the taxpayer with the bill for.
anti-liar Salt Lake City, UTJuly 25, 2012 4:56 a.m.
Too bad Mr. Maxwell's sense of "moral responsibility" doesn't extend to paying American workers a fair wage. These employers don't want to do so. That really is what this is about. The rest is rationalization, and falsely disparaging the best workers in the world historically, Americans, in the process.

Pros: Holds paint well. Easily controlled.
Good for all paints inside and out, Latex and oils
Cons: Nothing I could find
It was a long time ago when I learned that a good quality finished paint job has as much to do with the brush used as the painter. In my younger years I painted with the least expensive brushes I could find. The work showed with awefull streaks due to my excessive brushing to try and get it right.
It was my wife an artist/painter that taught me at a young age the difference in quality and how a good brush could be controlled on canvas. She explained how the same pertained to brushes used for wall surfaces too.
I was recently part of a team doing a small project at my work place. It was a one day paint job. I said I would paint some of the trim and do some of the cutting. My partner in the project had purchased the supplies and I found this particular Purdy product, a 2 1/2" flat brush that could be used for trim.
Perdy happens to be a good brand that I have used many times. The Home Depot where I live on Long Island carries some of the line though I'm not sure it has this particular brush and style.
The details about this brush on Epinions states Bristles are a blend of 3 components. Nylon for softness and ease of paint flow, Chinex for faster clean up with self flagging tip, and polyester for stiffness retention. Extra length out and thickness of the filament provides extra wear and paint holding.
I can tell you that the brush does indeed have a soft feel to it as I would cut close to trim without the use of masking tape. I prefer careful painting with a good brush along with my talent to having to take the time to mask most everything.
A few dips into the paint can and the brush loaded well. This brush does tend to sag a bit when completely full so if not a pro, don't load it up too much. I did do painting for a living for a couple-a-few years back in the Carter years when I had to do what I could while also playing Mr. Mom for my children when my wife taught in school. I digress.
The flow of the paint was even and having Chinex fibers (a synthetic made to have characteristics of hair) in the brush I could get the feel of a natural brush but still be able to use it with water based latex. This brush can be used with any kind of paint, latex or oils. My day with this particular brush was with latex only but I have used similar products of Purdy with oil to my satisfaction.
This brush did work admirably for me that day even though I prefer a two inch slanted for cutting.
The handle of this brush is made of wood with a hole in it for hanging. The combination of nylon, poly, and Chinex makes for a well balance brush for most projects indoors and out, oil or latex. The ferrule that molds the brush to the handle is a stainless steel.
This brush cleans easily and should wear very well if maintained. I have a Purdy brush for a few years now. It's my special that I had in my pocket to use that day but this Purdy Pro-Extra stepped up to the plate. I can highly recommend this paint brush.

We can understand the excitement at the prospect of Phil Jackson returning to the bench for the Lakers. The fastest way to exorcise the failures of the recent past is to try to recapture the greatness of the not-as-recent past, and Jackson and the Lakers had a lot of success during their on-again, off-again marriage from 1999 to 2011, even if the marriage was not always a serene one.
Still, the constant watch for who will succeed Mike Brown, with an understandable focus on Jackson, may have finally vaulted over the shark on Saturday with this line: "Jackson is in Los Angeles and was seen sporting a mustache, the same look he went with when the Lakers first hired him in 1999, at a recent dinner."
Lest this be taken as some sort of shot at ESPN's Ramona Shelburne, please know that it is not meant to be. Shelburne's one of the pearls of ESPNLosAngeles. This criticism is not directed at her, but the absurdity that accompanies any big story out of Hollywood. We saw the same phenomenon last summer, when it was not enough to simply mention that Dwight Howard was in L.A., but what brand of sunglasses he was wearing and what type of car he was driving. These are not merely good journalistic details — they are that, too — but they are included in stories because the people who follow L.A. sports actually care whether Howard's watch was a Rolex or a Breitling. Local reporters therefore have an obligation to provide such information. The mind boggles.
Sure, such minutiae gets mentioned in other cities. But that is typically only when the fashion choices delve into extraordinary territory. Norris Cole rocks a flattop or Chris Andersenspikes up his mohawk? Sure. Jackson brings back the facial hair he has had for the majority of his coaching and playing career? Come on. It is hard to imagine any Celtics story reading, "Jason Terry, rocking a high fade and a white headband, scored 18 points." On second thought, I may have to try that from now on.
No word on whether Jackson's mustache was of the handlebar or Fu Manchu variety.

Harper Beckham & Brother Brooklyn Look Super Cute In London [PHOTOS]
Especially when those kids are Beckhams. The incredibly famous Beckham offspring, Harper, Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz, were spotted in London today (November 23) enjoying a walk around the city. At least that's what it looks like they're doing.
Brooklyn and Harper looked especially adorable as Brooklyn pushed his little sister around in her stroller. And you know, this isn't the first time those two have been super cute together. Remember Brooklyn carrying Harper around at Universal Citywalk? Cause it was ridiculously adorable. Hey Beckham kids, where your parents at?
The kids seem to be with a nanny, which isn't nearly as much fun as being with parents Victoria and David. You know, it's rare that we see all 6 of the Beckhams together, but when we do, boy is it awesome! It's like when you spot all of the Jolie-Pitts together. You're getting some sort of peek into their alternate universe.
Launch the gallery to check out all the photos of the famous siblings. How cute do Brooklyn and Harper look together? Think Brooklyn is Harper's favorite brother? Sound off in the comments!

Legendary LAWRENCE OF ARABIA star PETER O'TOOLE has crossed the Nefud desert one last time into infinity at age 81.
The hard-drinking hard-living O'Toole, who was nominated for 8 Academy Awards, passed after a brief illness, his agent confirmed.
Seamus Peter O'Toole was born Aug. 2, 1932, the son of Irish bookie Patrick "Spats" O'Toole and his wife Constance. After studying journalism at the Yorkshire Evening Post and national military service with the Royal Navy, O'Toole auditioned for the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and won a scholarship. Next stop for all master thespians – The Bristol Old Vic.
Peter was launched into super- stardom in director David Lean's "Lawrence of Arabia" as mythic poet/warrior solider T.E. Lawrence who led an Arab rebellion against the Turks during World War One.
O'Toole's sensitive portrayal of Lawrence's complex character garnered O'Toole his first Oscar nomination – the first of eight. Like so many other luminaries, he never took home a gold statuette.
In "Becket," (1964) O'Toole played King Henry II to Richard Burton's Thomas Becket. Both Burton and O'toole were fond booze and their off-screen revelry made headlines. O'Toole garnered an Oscar nom.
O'Toole played King Henry II again in 1968 in "The Lion in Winter" opposite heavy weight Katharine Hepburn, for his third Oscar nomination.
Four more nominations followed — in 1968 for the musical "Goodbye, Mr. Chips," in 1971 for "The Ruling Class" –the acclaimed social satire about a mad English Lord who fancied himself Jesus and in 1982 as thinly-disguised Errol Flynn for "My Favorite Year." O'Toole received his eighth and final nom, for "Venus" in 2006.
As The ENQUIRER reported last year O'Toole announced his retirement from acting weeks shy of his 80th birthday. He said his long outstanding career had brought "me together with fine people, good companions with whom I've shared the inevitable lot of all actors: flops and hits.
"However, it's my belief that one should decide for oneself when it is time to end one's stay.
"So I bid the profession a dry-eyed and profoundly grateful farewell."
We're not so dry-eyed as we bid adieu to the one and only Peter O'Toole.
"Truly, for some men nothing is written unless THEY write it…"

- This past week was a week of "treats." I love those kind of surprise weeks.
- Happy (day after) Mother's Day to all! I was able to celebrate with my 2 favorite kiddos, my amazing husband, my fantastic mom, my hard-working dad, my loving Grandma, and a slew of incredible aunts, uncles, cousins, cousins children and neighbors. We had a fantastic day! It's a rare treat to all be together, so I soak it in when I can. We were even able to Skype with my birthday brother the day before, so the gang felt all there!
- My husband and kids gifted me with my favorite treat – CUPPY CAKES! Cupcakes from Jones Bros in Omaha, winner of Food Networks "Cupcake Wars?" Um, yes, please!
- Before I knew I would be bestowed such greatness, Justin and I went out for some post-kiddo-bedtime dessert Saturday. Wheatfields was the winner. Holy smokes! Omaha has amazing sweets! If you haven't been, it's a must-go! I brought home a little treat for my mom – a mini banana chocolate cream pie. Heaven.
- A new report released last week projects that 43% of Americans could be obese by 2030. I blame this on a lot of things: laziness, high fructose corn syrup, fast food, 64 ounce pops, copious amounts of sweet treats (see last 2 bullets), etc. When I think of what it looks like in the grocery store, I picture this. Are you kidding me? I love oreos as much as the next guy, but that's just fatty fatter-tons. A triple-double? Stupid.
- I've committed to getting back in the groove of working out this week. Here's to never seeing these bonus 12 baby pounds again. Treat binge is over.
- My mom and I attended a retirement dinner hosted by her school district last week. What a fun night to honor her years of service… even if she hates standing in front of a crowd! WOO HOO!!!
- At the party I re-connected with an old friend and another old friends parents. A true treat.
- When Justin and I were out this weekend, we met a girl who now attends my beloved high school. She was THREE when I graduated. THREE. Damn.
- Speaking of feeling crazy old, two of my favorite neighbors who I also got to babysit had babies in the last few months. They are both amazing moms. It's a treat to see them all grown!
- My favorite moment from the weekend? Two chubby toddler arms squeezing my neck at last nights bedtime with a sloppy wet kiss and those precious four words: "I wuv you, Mommy! Sweetest treat there is!
Favorite moment from the weekend? Let's hear it!
If you love cupcake you will have to try us out!~ We are the original Cuppycakes!!!!;) I would love to have you come by sometime we were featured on Cupcake Wars as well. Check out my site at
It typed it out wrong sorry it is http://www.cuppycakes.net
Being spoiled by my children who are now grown.

TAMPA — All-America senior outside hitters Megan Hodge of Penn State and Destinee Hooker of Texas have shared a bond since they happened to take an official volleyball recruiting visit to Texas at the same time.
"We go way back," Hodge said. "We're good friends."
"We just clicked," Hooker said. "We just hit it off."
During that weekend in Austin in 2005, they laughed together. They talked about boys.
And they pondered their college possibilities, though not as a tandem.
"Never once did we say, "Let's go to this place together,' " Hooker said. "If we did, it would be a really unstoppable team."
Not that their current teams are shabby.
Hodge has helped power No. 1-ranked Penn State (37-0) to 101 straight wins and, more important, to the past two NCAA titles.
No school has pulled off a three-peat, which is what she and the Nittany Lions are looking for tonight at the St. Pete Times Forum against Hooker and the No. 2-ranked Longhorns (29-1).
Neither Penn State nor Texas is a one-woman show. Far from it. But somehow it's appropriate that Hodge and Hooker are meeting one last time as collegians. And it's fortuitous, to say the least, for the sport.
"When you get this, it's the Kobe Bryant-LeBron James matchup," Texas coach Jerritt Elliott said Friday. "They're players who don't come across collegiate volleyball very often."
"What you would hope would happen," Penn State coach Russ Rose said, "is that there's a whole bunch of young girls around the country watching volleyball that see two charismatic players going out there and playing hard and playing with passion, and that it sparks more young kids playing volleyball around the country."
Hodge and Hooker are that special.
It's not merely that both can touch about 11 feet, soaring off the ground like basketball players. (Hooker was a prep star in San Antonio and could have gone to Penn State to play that sport.) They have the instincts, timing and body control to connect with a ball at its highest point and direct it with uncommon accuracy and impunity.
"There's not a lot of guys who are as athletic as Megan and Destinee," Rose said. "I'm not just talking girls here. I'm talking guys."
"You need to see them in person and how fast the ball moves and what they can do," said Elliott, who has thought about the embarrassment of riches he would have had on the floor had Hodge also decided to sign with Texas. "It's going to be fun to watch."
Hodge, selected the outstanding player of the tournament's Gainesville Region, is hitting .386 with 539 kills. Even in a subpar performance in the semifinals Thursday against Hawaii (.145 hitting percentage), she still led the team with 12 kills.
Hooker, selected the outstanding player of the Omaha Region, is hitting .361 with 492 kills and was stellar Thursday against Minnesota with 17 kills.
"Her ability to jump and make freakishly athletic plays is something you have to admire," Hodge said of her friend.
Both players also have a passion that inspires those around them.
Hooker said she watched Hodge against Hawaii, "and she was slapping fists and jumping up and down, and I was like, 'Wow. That's another me.'
"We're both very energetic. It's going to be a great matchup. I'm really looking forward to it."

Depositions Upon Written Questions
While preparing for trial you realize that you need to offer evidence of one crucial fact known only by a witness residing on the West Coast. The residence is in a city you have long wanted to visit. Now you can fly there at your client's expense, take a brief deposition and see the sights.
But wait. This client is struggling with the tough economy. How can you competently represent the client frugally? Consider Tennessee Rule of Civil Procedure 31, permitting depositions by written questions. Here's how it works.
Serve your single written question on adversary counsel with the name and address of the deponent plus the court reporter's name. Counsel can serve "cross questions" on you within 30 days.
The next chore is to secure attendance of the witness. Obviously a Tennessee subpoena is a waste of paper. Check the law of our sister state. Probably that jurisdiction has either the new Uniform Interstate Depositions and Discovery Act (see Tenn. Code Ann. § §24-9-201 et seq.) or the old Uniform Foreign Deposition Act. A subpoena issued and served in that state will compel attendance.
The court reporter will read the question, record the deponent's answer, and certify the deposition. Then the reporter "shall ... file or mail the deposition." Assuming the document is mailed to you, file it with the court clerk and promptly notify opposing counsel of the filing.
There was a time when court testimony was taken by interrogatories. Obtain and read The Lodger Shakespeare: His Life on Silver Street, by Charles Nicholl (Viking 2007). In 1612 the playwright gave a deposition upon written questions at the Court of Requests in Westminster. Stephen Belott sued his father-in-law Christopher Mountjoy for unpaid dowry. Shakespeare lodged during 1604 in London with the Mountjoy family on Silver Street. He had entreated Belott to marry Mary Mountjoy.
A sentence from the deposition, translated into modern English and slightly rearranged, reads as follows: "To the third interrogatory this deponent sayeth that he did move and persuade the complainant to effect the said marriage." The Bard signed as "Willm Shaks." Stephen Belott prevailed with a judgment for part of the dowry; whether he collected is unknown.
Sadly, the lodging no longer exists. The Great Fire of 1666 burned the Mountjoy house, and the Blitz of 1940 destroyed Silver Street. But Rule 31 remains extant. Use it when it helps your client. And take that transcontinental trip before it's too late.

Suzanne Comaroto recognizes forlorn furniture pieces immediately.
"Most people throw them away, but these are handmade pieces with good bones," she says.
"They're scuffed, water ringed, the finish is rubbing off, they have scratch marks or someone left a burning cigarette on them. But they are solid wood, often from the factories in South Carolina and some are even tongue and groove."
She adds, "You know, in its day, the piece was good."
Yet, the pieces remained unwanted at Comaroto's Move It Elsewhere consignment shop because too few people were willing to work with them.
So it's not surprising that Comaroto was immediately intrigued when she learned about Annie Omar's line of Maison Blanche Furniture Paint.
Omar is the force behind a line of paint that can be used to create a variety of textures "straight from the can" with none of the common prep work of sanding or priming.
Comaroto traveled to the company's headquarters in Texas for firsthand lessons on techniques and finishes.
Finishes carry the names Glacage, Translucide, Wax, Organza, LeDirt and LeCraque.
Like James Bond's martinis, the paints are "shaken, not stirred" before use.
Comaroto is enthusiastic about the almost nonexistent toxicity of the eco-friendly Maison Blanche paints as well as the lack of odor, enabling indoor work without fumes or need for added ventilation.
A little paint can go a long way, she says, adding that she used one 32-ounce can of paint to redo a dining room table, two leaves and six chairs.
The vintage paint comes in 36 colors, inspired by Omar's South Louisiana, Cajun & French Creole heritage.
The paints are water-based, so you can also dilute it to make a wash if you prefer, Comaroto says.
Paint can be applied in one color, or layered for different shades.
Comaroto is now selling the paints at her shop, and she's also set aside some of those forlorn pieces of furniture with good bones to sell to those looking for projects.
In mid-January she will start offering classes to teach advanced techniques to those who want to go beyond a simple coat of paint.
Move It Elsewhere, 350 Lincoln Ave., open 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Wednesdays and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday through Sunday. For more information, call 408.515.7277.

Celiac.com 10/02/2013 - The sad word has arrived that Sugar Shack Donuts at Leigh and Lombardy streets in Richmond, Virginia will no longer craft delicious gluten-free donuts and other gluten-free delights.
Despite tremendous popularity, or, perhaps because of it, Sugar Shack Donuts has ended its vegan and gluten-free Specialty Sundays, and ceased making gluten-free doughnuts altogether.
It seems that for every customer full of praise for Sugar Shack's gluten-free treats, there was another full of complaints about long lines and low inventory.
Co-owner Ian Kelley says that for ever comment he got that his gluten-free creations were 'the most amazing tasting things…ever,'" someone else would say 'these are really good but I had to wait in line 45 minutes and could only get four of them.'"
All of which helped to dampen the enthusiasm of co-owner Ian Kelley, and to kill Specialty Sundays.
This news has left locals with a gluten-free sweet tooth wondering what their next option might be. One local option might be WPA Bakery in Church Hill, which serves gluten-free doughnuts made on dedicated equipment. Although a purist might point out that WPA's doughnuts are baked, while Sugar Shack's were fried.
Either way, Sugar Shack's Specialty Sundays will be missed.

I know the feeling! I used to own a totally gluten free bakery. It was quite successful . But when you are a small business, buying in bulk is hard to do. Therefore, reducing the profit margin. There are only so many people who are willing to pay for a muffin. My profits were so small, so I had to do all the work myself.
I was burned out quickly. Working 16 hour days gets old fast! Mine also was a case of being too busy. For my sanity's sake, I just had to close.

How very sad for everyone, all the way around. Perhaps some of the complainers could have been encouraged into volunteering - although I know that can be hard to do? I do hope the owners/bakers find another way. Perhaps someone can give them additional financial backing? And maybe they could write a baking cookbook? One can only wish them luck and commiserate.

I guess people should have been more thankful for what they had. The place was trying to accommodate others' dietary preferences only to be waylaid by complaining? I'd have done the same thing if it were my business! Don't bite the hand that (literally) feeds you gluten-free fad food.

WASHINGTON - Emissions of heat-trapping greenhouse gases are growing at such a rate that the world will likely exceed a safe limit in average global temperatures by the end of the century, a new report by the International Energy Agency says.
The world could veer into a higher temperature zone that would profoundly damage economic growth and most other aspects of life, the report warned.
Emissions of greenhouse gases, mostly carbon dioxide, need to stay below certain levels so that they do not push average global temperatures up by more than than 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit, scientists and policymakers have warned. Average temperatures have risen by about 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit over the last 150 years or so, as mass industrialization spurred the increased combustion of fossil fuels.
The IEA's Redrawing the Energy-Climate Map reported that carbon dioxide emissions grew at a rate of 1.4 percent in 2012, reaching a record high of 31.6 gigatons released into the atmosphere. On this current path, the world's average temperatures are on track to increase 6.5 degrees to 9.5 degrees by the end of the century, said the IEA, an independent research group established by the world's most industrialized nations.
"Climate change has quite frankly slipped to the back burner of policy priorities," said IEA Executive Director Maria van der Hoeven. "But the problem is not going away - quite the opposite."
Soaring temperatures would have profound implications for water supplies, electricity production, agriculture and public health. At the 2009 global climate talks in Copenhagen, dozens of participating countries, including the United States, agreed to take steps to prevent average global temperature rise from exceeding 3.6 degrees. But the agreement was not legally binding, and worldwide emissions have increased.
Emissions of greenhouse gases have fallen in the United States recently to levels not seen since the mid-1990s, largely due to a natural-gas boom that has prompted a shift in power generation away from coal. The IEA report noted that "China experienced the largest growth in CO2 emissions (300 megatons), but the increase was one of the lowest it has seen in a decade," driven in part by the greater use of renewable energy.

Scott Bakken and Dan Berkholder from Pine Ridge Archery, the makers of Pine Ridge Archery AT-5 Trail Camera Mount, Pine Ridge Instant Arrow Glue, Pine Ridge Archery Reel-A-Strap, Pine Ridge 2nd Shot Arrow Holder and the Pine Ridge Archery E/Z Up Treestand Pulley System, were hunting together near Eau Claire WI when around 4:00 pm Dan texted Scott and said he just shot a big buck. Scott got down and went over to Dan's spot and saw the massive 12 point Dan had shot.
Dan took Scott over to his stand to show him where the buck was when he shot him. Just then a hot doe came running through. Dan told Scott to get up in his stand and Dan exited the area. 10 minutes later a nice 10 pointer came through and Scott was able to lay the hammer down.
Nice job guys. 2 nice bucks out of the same stand within 20 minutes of each other. It just goes to show, be ready for anything. And, it pays to have a good friend who will let you hunt his stand.

Pinless-Navigated Versus Conventional Total Knee Arthroplasty
- Full Text View

- How to Read a Study Record
The success of total knee arthroplasty depends on a number of factors including pre-operative range of movement, obesity, medical comorbidities, prosthesis design, preparation and implantation of the prosthesis, soft tissue balancing, as well as implants alignment. Optimal placement of the implants within 3° of the mechanical axis of the lower limb has been proven to reduce wear and early implant failure.
Compared to conventional techniques, computer-Aided Navigation total knee arthroplasty has been widely used in the last decade and have been proven to improve the accuracy of prosthesis placement and lower limb alignment by reducing the number of outliers with more than 3° deviation from the mechanical axis. However, its use also involves a steep learning curve, high initial capital cost and longer duration of surgery.
Traditional computer-navigated TKA using optical tracking systems also requires fixation of the femoral and tibial reference arrays to bone using anchoring pins. Complications reported with the use of these pins include either femoral or tibial fracture, pin site pain, pin site infection and osteomyelitis. The investigators study aims to investigate the accuracy of a new pinless navigation system for TKA that will avoid these complications.

Frankel bows out in style with victory in Champion Stakes at Ascot
Frankel's capped his racing swansong with his 14th consecutive victory, winning the Champion Stakes at Ascot.
Frankel reenforced his claim for the greatest horse of all time with victory over defending champion Cirrus des Aigles by a length and three-quarters in today's race.
Despite getting off to a poor start, the horse came from fourth place in the home turn to overhaul his competitors and claim his 14th successive victory.
Concerns had surrounded the safety of the Ascot course, which was soft but heavy in places and doubts had been cast over whether the four-year-old would be allowed to run due to safety concerns.
But after walking the racetrack this morning, his team confirmed they were happy with the course in what is expected to be his final race in the Champion Stakes.
'We are very happy and there's nothing to stop us running,' said Teddy Grimthorpe, who is the racing manager to Khalid Abdullah, owner of Frankel.
'What I have always said is that as long as we are happy the ground is safe for Frankel that will be our call.'
Frankel is expected to be retired for a breeding career and he proved such a massive draw that a 32,000 capacity crowd attended today's meet.

KINGSTON -- Former New York City Mayor Ed Koch, a Democrat, crossed party lines and endorsed Republican congressional candidate George Phillips during a visit to Kingston on Wednesday.
Koch said his primary reason for shunning Rep. Maurice Hinchey was the nine-term Democratic incumbent "is not a congressman who supports the state of Israel."
Hinchey, of Hurley, and Phillips, of Broome County, are vying for the seat in New York's 22nd Congressional District.
Koch, 85, who is Jewish and a supporter of Israel, told Phillips supporters at the Holiday Inn on Washington Avenue that he opposes Hinchey because the congressman:
o Was among 54 representatives who signed a letter in January demanding Israel open its borders to the West Bank and Gaza strip;
o Refused to sign a letter to the president in June that stated Israel's response to a flotilla trying to break Israel's blockade of Palestinian territories was appropriate; and
o Refused to support sanctions against Iran.
That, said Koch, amounts to "support for the terrorist cause."
On Tuesday, as news of Koch's planned endorsement spread, Hinchey's campaign noted Koch's support for Republican George W. Bush over Democrat John Kerry in the 2004 presidential election, also on foreign policy grounds, and that the war against Iraq started by Bush cost the United States $3 trillion and thousands of lives.
"This isn't the best way to convince voters of your own foreign policy credentials," the Hinchey campaign said in a prepared statement. The campaign also said the Phillips camp was trying to "change the subject from the economy and job creation after President (Bill) Clinton gave a rousing endorsement of (Hinchey's) economic record" in front of 800-plus supporters in Binghamton on Monday.
Hinchey's campaign manager could not be reached for further comment on Wednesday.
Koch said on Tuesday that, in 2004, "the Democratic Party and its candidate, John Kerry, did not appreciate the danger of Islamic terrorism and ... George Bush did."
"I said that I don't agree with George Bush on a single domestic issue, but the issue of terrorism was more important than any other issue," the former mayor said.
Hinchey's campaign, focusing on the economy, said Phillips supports "the exact same policies that got us into this mess: more tax cuts for billionaires, tax incentives for companies that ship jobs overseas, no new rules for banks and predatory lenders and less support for middle-class families struggling to make ends meet as a result of the mess these policies created."
Koch said he does not agree with Phillips, a Binghamton-area history teacher, on "a host of other issues" but that foreign policy and national security differences between Phillips and� Hinchey trump other matters.
Koch, who was mayor of New York from January 1978 to December 1989, is the founder of a group called NYUprising, which he said is trying to reform state government. He said Hinchey was among the state's congressmen who refused to sign a statement distributed by the group in support of having redistricting done by a nonpartisan commission.
Koch described the redistricting process as being designed to protect incumbents, and he said the 22nd District -- which stretches from the Hudson Valley to the Southern Tier and includes all of Ulster County -- was gerrymandered to protect Hinchey.

Does anyone out there make their own baby food? The meat baby food smells so gross and probably doesn't taste all that great so I thought about doing my own. Any suggestions?...

WASHINGTON (Apr. 12)
A member of Congress just back from Ethiopia told Reform Jewish leaders he has "great hope" for early progress in the effort to help the remaining 15,000 to 17,000 Jews of Ethiopia immigrate to Israel.
Rep. Mickey Leland (D-Texas) delivered his remarks Tuesday while accepting the first Kovler Award for Black-Jewish Relations from the Washington-based Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism.
The award was presented by Albert Vorspan, senior vice president of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations.
"There could be good news soon," Leland said, citing his talks last week with President Mengistu Mariam of Ethiopia and other high government officials.
"I believe, too, that Ethiopia is looking more favorably on the prospect of restoring diplomatic relations with Israel, and that Ghana and Nigeria are also looking for ways to develop better relations with Israel," Leland said. "And I am optimistic about the fate of the 54 Ethiopian Jews stranded in the Sudan.
"Good things are happening in terms of African-Israeli relations," the Texas Democrat and former chairman of the Black Congressional Caucus said, "and we are partners in the work."
Leland spoke to some 500 Reform Jewish leaders from all over the country who were taking part in a "Consultation on Conscience" under the auspices of the Religious Action Center.
He was greeted by one of his constituents, Dolores Wilkenfeld of Houston, president of the National Federation of Temple Sisterhoods. Nearly 100 NFTS members attended the three-day meeting, which ended Wednesday.
The consultation is an annual event sponsored by the center "to motivate ethical concern and religious action on current social issues and to apply the moral and ethical insights of Judaism to these issues," according to Rabbi David Saperstein, director of the center.
In presenting the award, Vorspan cited Leland's work on behalf of Ethiopian Jews and South African blacks: "You have helped unite the black and Jewish communities in a shared vision of universal justice, human rights, equality and freedom," he said.

New York City Chipotle Mexican Grill has debuted a new format that it said costs less to build and operate and uses less energy to maintain, while also providing the opportunity for increased sales volumes.
During a presentation at the Cowen Consumer Conference in New York City, the chain said that kitchen in its new design has shrunk by 25%.
Chipotle plans to open between 120 and 130 new locations in 2010, and at least 32 of those will feature the updated prototype.
Other design elements include new colors, "greener" materials and varying dining areas, such as counters, small group settings and larger group areas.

One fan's opinion of how NBA draft will play out
oldschool Farmington, UTJune 24, 2011 1:39 a.m.
As a huge fan of Jimmer, I was disappointed he ended up anywhere but Utah. Overall, this is a pretty good mock draft. You did about as well as any of the professionals who were paid to put up mock drafts. Congrats. I didn't think Jimmer would go No. 3 because NBA teams tend to go for bigs all the time. So it wasn't surprising that a bunch of bigs went before the second point guard in the draft. I thought it was ironic that Kemba and Jimmer went right next to each other. I also thought it was a great moment when the Morris twins went back to back and realized they would be separated for the first time since birth. I'm sure Marcus wasn't crying because his brother went first.
Not So Fast Salt Lake City, UTJune 24, 2011 1:15 a.m.
Nobody in the NBA (you know, the people that watch basketball and watched every player and make their living evaluating talent) thought Fredette should be the third pick. NObody. So fans (who haven't seen most of the other players and sure haven't interview them or worked them out or talked to past coaches and associates) think they watched enough BYU games to evaluate not Fredette's college career but his NBA-talent projection as well.
It is both completely beyond comprehension and completely absurd. In fact, it shocks me and then makes me laugh. All those saying these things about James F. are emotionally invested in the player and not basing your conclusions on any real evaluation.
Folks, we aren't experts. Actually, all of us are as much expects as the writer. I couldn't read far. Lost me with: "Everything the experts are proposing is unfounded and a complete shot in the dark." Actually, it is founded on research and watching film and evaluation tools and statistics and past success or failure. A failed vanity piece.
Axe-man OREM, UTJune 23, 2011 4:38 p.m.
I've never understood people impressed with Kemba. He was good, but no WAY he's better than Jimmer. If Kemba played for BYU, after losing Davies, the Cougars would've lost to UNM, Wyoming, TCU and been an 8- or 10-seed. Jeremy Lamb played superior to Kemba for major stretches of the tournament. Kemba had a full team around him.
Just note: BYU went to overtime against Florida; Florida lost in OT to Butler; Butler beat VCU by 10 but stumbled badly against UConn. If Davies was with the team through the MWC, they may have been a 1- or 2-seed. Against the same opponents, Davies/Jimmer and company definitely beat Florida, Butler, VCU, and maybe UConn. Davies' mistake was THAT big of an impact. (Not to try to add guilt to the kid.) In a parallel universe where that happens, though, would VCU or Florida State make the run they did? Butterfly flaps its wings in Beijing, etc.
I say with Brandon Davies in, the Cougars' run is extended at least to the Final Four, and Jimmer's stock in the draft is equal to or better than Kemba's.
Axe-man OREM, UTJune 23, 2011 4:12 p.m.
How old is Brady, 15? "Looking through that chart at pick 12, not one name is familiar to me." Anyone from Utah should know Kelly Tripucka or Michael Doleac. Additional #12s include Muggsy Bogues or Mookie Blaylock. Not superstars, but respectable NBA talent.
I agree on Kyrie Irving - he's not Kobe or Garnett, 2 players taken outta high school. I don't like Brandon Knight @3, but I don't think Jimmer should go that high. Utes may hate him, Cougars will expect too much, and hopes will be too high. I hope he's available @12, because I think he'll surprise people by his work ethic and development. Malone lasted till #13, and Jazz fans booed when Utah picked a skinny kid from Gonzaga @16. I think Jimmer's work ethic is like Stock's. As a BYU, Jazz, and Jimmer fan, I think the best of all worlds is Jimmer going to Phoenix, learning from Nash for 2-3 years, Jimmering Utah 4X a year from 30 feet, and then coming to Utah in a trade in 2015.
But lots of fans will complain if he slips past Utah to Phoenix @13. That's what KOC gets paid for.
rnoble Pendleton, ORJune 23, 2011 3:48 p.m.
i don't think jimmer to cleveland at #1 is all that outrageous---unlikely but not impossible---
i do not agree that the 12 position is unlucky either---there have been some good players taken there that have exceeded the nba life average---muggsy bogues is one---
i really expect jimmer to go to golden state who may try to trade up for him---
BlameItOnTheOfficials Cottonwood Heights, UTJune 23, 2011 3:37 p.m.
So many locals (ute fans) don't understand the talent that was playing in their own backyard while Jimmer was here. They will want KOC's head if the Jazz call Jimmer's name at #3. But I agree, he didn't became the best in college Bball without skills and ability. He proved it through the entire season.
I hope the Jazz and KOC have the guts to do whats right tonight. This is their chance to pull off an amazing pick that is flying under the radar of every other NBA team.
Skippy West Jordan, UTJune 23, 2011 3:22 p.m.
I agree with your comments about Kyrie Irving. Why would anyone pick that guy number one? That's a huge risk! You lost me with your Jimmer pick as well.
landonhemsley Logan, UTJune 23, 2011 12:57 p.m.
As soon as you said Jimmer at 3, you lost me. There's no way he goes that high. Indeed, I hope you enjoyed your guest writing.
Fahrvergnugen Provo, UTJune 23, 2011 12:17 p.m.
Wow. Jimmer at 3? Are you kidding me? I'm a huge fan of the guy, but at most, if the Jazz want him they should trade up their second pick, not take him at 3.
TheFitz Murray, UTJune 23, 2011 12:03 p.m.
If we get Jimmer @ 3 Kevin OConnor should be fired. Plain and simple. Jimmer will likely be available at 12, and could even fall down to PHX @ 13, or even Indiana or New York. In my opinion the best PG option in the draft is Kemba Walker. I'm blown away at the lack of respect for this kid, especially after what he did in the Big East and NCAA tournaments...
ChuloDO Tucson, AZJune 23, 2011 12:01 p.m.
Your waning credibility fully dissipated when you predicted (or recommended) Jimmer going as Utah's #3 pick. Hope you had fun as a guest writer.
MGB Saint George, UTJune 23, 2011 11:01 a.m.
This is the best analysis I have seen for the 2011 draft based on evaluating total talent and need. There is more to talent that what meets the eye. Dallas over Miami - character and heart over talent and ego.
ST Layton, UTJune 23, 2011 10:50 a.m.
Jimmer number 3 for Utah ... you are crazy and making a stab in the dark - lets hope not!
MGB Saint George, UTJune 23, 2011 10:30 a.m.
I could not agree more with his assesment of Jimmer at #3. He is the best point guard in the draft. You do not become the NCAA POY with just scoreing alone.

Watch: Warriors' Stephen Curry stars in NBA Finals version of 'Mean Tweets'
Stephen Curry, Tony Parker and other notable NBA figures made appearances on Jimmy Kimmel Live's latest NBA edition of 'Mean Tweets,' which premiered Thursday night before Game 1 of the NBA Finals.
In this version of the popular series, in which celebrities and famous athletes read insensitive comments people write about them on Twitter, Curry and Parker confronted brief assaults on their masculinity, but took the jabs in good fun.
During the rest of Kimmel's special NBA Finals episode, the host interviewed rapper '50 Cent,' and asked him what hurt more: Getting shot, or being a Knicks fan. Yikes.
Check out Thursday night's version of NBA 'Mean Tweets' below:
