Obama's Task: Define New Foreign-Policy Mileposts
White House Says His May 28 Speech at West Point Will Address the U.S.'s Global Role
In the sixth year of his presidency, President Barack Obama is trapped in a giant foreign-policy paradox: His reluctance to get involved in new conflicts abroad is fully in sync with today's public mood—yet it somehow bothers Americans at the same time.
What people seem to want is a president who projects toughness without forcing the country to do so many of the tough chores it endured for the last decade or so. If that seems like a contradiction in terms, well, welcome to the White House....

This is the first exhibition to investigate the integral relationships between modernism, classicism, and popular imagery in the interwar sculpture of Gaston Lachaise, Robert Laurent, Elie Nadelman, and William Zorach. Assembled from public and private collections, this exhibition of approximately 55 sculptures and 20 drawings addresses the remarkable affinities between the work of four divergent and competitive personalities, who redefined sculpture's expressive potential during the turbulent interbellum period.

A frantic Friday.
AIG says it is hiring JP Morgan Chase to advise it on raising new capital or devising a deal that infuses the insurer with enough funds to prevent a downgrade by ratings agencies, Charlie Gasparino reports. A plan could be announced this weekend, say two sources with "direct knowledge" of AIG's efforts.

DailyDirt: Terrible Tumors
from the urls-we-dig-up deptRadiolab had a fascinating episode on famous tumors that aired recently (again). Cancer is usually a pretty grim topic, but there are some incredibly interesting facets of cancer if you can forget about its lethal nature. If you haven't known anyone who has battled cancer, consider yourself lucky. But cancer is a leading cause of death, so it may be unavoidable to encounter this disease at some point in your life. In the meantime, here are just a few tidbits about tumors that you might not have seen.
- The family of Henrietta Lacks has come to an agreement with the National Institutes of Health on how the genome data from HeLa cells should be distributed. Hela cells are cancer cells from Henrietta Lacks that are a de facto standard in biotechnology, but genomic data from these cells also contain genetic information on all of her descendants. [url]
- In Australia, devil facial tumor disease is a contagious form of cancer that is killing off Tasmanian devils at concerning rate. The Tazmanian devil could be extinct in a few decades, but a vaccine against this cancer could be available in time to save these animals. [url]
- Canine transmissible venereal tumor (CTVT) may be the oldest known cancer -- estimated to have originated between 200 and 2,500 years ago in a single animal. CTVT is a common, non-lethal cancer that has spread to all dog breeds all over the world -- and its existence raises questions about the nature of cancer and how cancer evolves. [url]

"Wonderfalls" (20th Century Fox DVD); "Bent" (Hulu). It will always be the case, and more often than not, that good television series are canceled before their time (and, as seems increasingly important in a serial world, their conclusion). Still, as we do with the real people of Earth, we can celebrate the life even as we mourn the death. Here are two shows cruelly cut down in their prime that nevertheless managed to tell what feel like complete stories, and both of which are still available for you to see. In stolen moments over the last couple of weeks I rewatched, in its 13-episode entirety, "Wonderfalls," a sweetly cynical 2004 romantic fantasy whose creative team included Todd Holland, Bryan Fuller and Tim Minear, a television Tinker-to-Evers-to-Chance. It starred Caroline Dhavernas (now on Fuller's "Hannibal) as a Brown philosophy graduate working in a Niagara Falls gift shop and disinclined to cooperate with life, who begins to receive cryptic messages, through animal-shaped inanimate objects -- a wax lion, a brass monkey, lawn flamingos, a mounted fish, and so on -- that impel her reluctantly to helpful action. There are a love object, a best friend (Tracie Thoms, of whom we should see more) and a comically difficult family (including mother Diana Scarwid, sister Katie Finneran and brother Lee Pace, who was in Fuller's also sadly abbreviated "Pushing Daisies"). Like the screwball comedies of old, it does not come to an end so much as to an agreement, a brief moment of rest, from which the characters will carry on without us.
INTERACTIVE: Fall 2013 TV preview
That is true also of Tad Quill's "Bent," an exceptionally well-reviewed and indifferently supported NBC comedy that grabbed a host of old rom-com cliches and improbably worked them into something believable and fresh and, probably the fatal point, not quite like anything else on television. (It was only last year that its six episodes aired, and yet it seems so long ago, somehow.) David Walton, who has practically held the patent on charming, semi-responsible child-men, or man-boys, or whatever they're called, did that thing, but he does it better than anyone else around. Amanda Peet was his opposite number, an uptight divorced lawyer with child, Ralph Bellamy-issue boyfriend (Matt Letscher), opposite-of-uptight sister (Margo Harshman) and a house, which Walton's surfer-slacker-recovering-gambling-addict contractor is slowly remodeling. Obviously … well, obviously. Jeffrey Tambor plays Walton's father-roommate (an actor), J.B. Smoove, Jesse Plemons and Pavel Lychnikoff his motley construction crew. Quill and his cast played an old-fashioned tune perfectly; the last scene of the final episode (not counting the unconnected tag) is as effective a series end as I've ever seen, whether it was meant to be or not, and almost nothing happens in it.
"Swindle" (Nickelodeon, Saturday). All-star teenage caper film features faces familiar from Nick sitcoms (Nitcoms -- feel free to use that, world). When a couple of clueless kids are done out of a valuable Honus Wagner baseball card by a less than scrupulous memorabilia dealer -- his name is Swindell, to make a point -- they concoct one complicated plan, then another, to get it back, retro-'60s style. (What does it say about this younger generation that they don't know the value of a Honus Wagner baseball card? Shakes head sadly.) A team is assembled (the Muscle, the Hacker, et al.), and away we go. It's no "Topkapi," and all quite impossible, as in "Mission", but the film is well-assembled and bouncy and if you are looking for a sprightly couple of hours of television where you don't have to explain a sexual reference to a child, or have one explained to you, this is your baby. Otherwise, the best reason to watch is Jennette McCurdy (as The Actress, here with "Sam & Cat" costar Ariana Grande, as The Gymnast); McCurdy, who played the best-pal part on "iCarly," has something of the knockabout spirit of the old Warner Bros. lot, back when Joan Blondell (they are the same height, research shows) was snapping her gum and putting dopes in their place. She is just about too old for this stuff, but fit for the next stuff. There is a food fight.
"Branded" (ESPN, Tuesday); "The March" (PBS, Tuesday); "5 Broken Cameras" (PBS, Monday). Three documentaries about equality. "Branded," by Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady ("Jesus Camp," "Detropia"), is the final film in ESPN's "Nine for IX" series about women in sport; it takes a step back from specific stories to consider the evolving fortunes of the female athlete -- from Billie Jean King, Chrissie Evert and Mary Lou Retton in the late 20th century to Danica Patrick, Gabrielle Reese and Lolo Jones in the 21st -- in the world Title IX made possible. (They are "midway up the mountain," says Retton, though that may be optimistic: We are informed that in 2009 "ESPN SportsCenter" devoted just 1.4% of its airtime to women's sports.) Its main point, among others, is that to women in sport have also been required to be not merely talented but also good-looking, the stuff of male dreams ("feminine" at first, sex bombs subsequently), and to be products as well as players. (They are better rewarded for the first pursuit than for the second, and never as well as men: Brandi Chastain, one speaker recalls, was offered hundreds of thousands of dollars for the sports bra she famously exposed after the deciding kick in the 1999 Women's Soccer World Cup: "She didn't make that in the history of her professional soccer career.") But it also tracks the changing attitudes of the players themselves. Says Reece, who shot a spread for Playboy with her own photographer on her own aesthetic and financial terms, "People get very nervous and upset when women go, 'Oh, exploiting's what we're doing? Then I'll do it myself.'"
"The March," directed by John Akomfrah and narrated by Denzel Washington, arrives on the eve of the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington -- where Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his "I Have a Dream Speech," if that wasn't immediately in your mind, which it should have been. The Civil Rights movement has been the subject of as many documentary films as anything in American history -- more than, possibly -- but the March itself, which gathered 250,000 people before the Lincoln Memorial for a day of speeches and song and, just as important, showing up, tends to appear within those films fully blown and peopled. "The March" tells the story of how it came to be and who put it together, and drops you into the time when, far from being a landmark day in history, it was merely a great idea, with a chance of not coming off at all. (Rarely seen color footage brings it all closer.) Many participants, on the steps and in the crowd, share their memories of the day -- as does Oprah, who only watched on TV, but felt the change.
The Oscar-nominated Palestinian-Israeli-French co-production "5 Broken Cameras" makes its way to the PBS series "POV" this week. Fashioned by Palestinian "peasant" Emad Burnat and Israeli filmmaker Guy Davidi from home video footage shot on a succession of cameras, serially destroyed in encounters with the Israeli army in the last half of the first decade of this century, it centers on the arrival of an Israeli settlement next to his village at the edge of the Occupied Territories and a fence that closes the villagers off from their olive trees. Its matter is the stuff of big novels, and the nonfiction movie Burnat and Davidi have made, though it records a political grievance, is poetic at its heart -- a look at ordinary life in a place most Americans will picture imperfectly, and a story of Burnat's friends and of his family. He begins shooting with the birth of his fourth son -- "The first days the bulldozers come are very hard, yet those are also very happy days for me" -- and keeps shooting. (He becomes the village recorder.) His wife would very much like that he put his camera down. He won't, and so it is also a story about an obsession, and, given the situation, a dangerous one. And yet, he continues, for the order the frame gives, and the distance the images allow. A picture about survival, then, of different kinds.
[Updated 10:53 p.m. Aug. 22: An earlier version of this story cut short a quote about a kick by Brandi Chastain. The quote that begins "She didn't" is, in full: "She didn't make that in the history of her professional soccer career."]

The Pan American games (Pan Am Games) are held every four years in the year preceding the Olympic Games. In terms of the number of sports and athletes, the Pan American Games are second in size only to the Olympics.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) created the Pan American games to help the American countries be more competitive. The games are managed by the Pan American Sports Organization (PASO) that was established in 1955.
The first Games were scheduled to be staged in Buenos Aires in 1942, but World War II caused them to be postponed until February 25, 1951, in Buenos Aires, with 2,513 athletes from 22 countries participating in 18 sports. Since then, the games have been hosted by various countries, with participation at the most recent event in 2007 games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil with over 5,633 athletes from 42 countries.
Trinidad and Tobago has been participating in the Pan American games since 1951. At the first games, Rodney Wilkes claimed Gold in Weightlifting while Carl De Souza and Lennox Kilgour both won Silver. James Jackson walked the 50 k race and won Silver.
See Records here: http://www.ttoc.businessbridgestt.com/index.phpoption=com_content&view=article&id=961&Itemid=220
The Pan American Games have been growing in size and importance with every edition of the event.
In less than half a century, the event has doubled in number of countries, athletes, and sports, becoming one of the main events in the world's sports calendar.
The next event will take place in Guadalajara, Mexico in 2011 with athletes participating in 30 sports.
There have been attempts to hold Pan American Winter Games as well, but these have been without much success. An initial attempt to hold winter events was made by the organizers of the 1951 Pan American Games in Buenos Aires, who planned to stage winter events later in the year but dropped the idea for lack of interest.
Lake Placid, New York, tried to organize Winter Games in 1959, but again not enough countries expressed interest and the plans were canceled.
In 1988, members of PASO voted to hold the first Pan American Winter Games at Las Leñas, Argentina in September 1989. It was further agreed that Winter Games would be held every four years. Lack of snow forced postponement of the games until September 16–22, 1990, when eight countries sent 97 athletes to Las Lenas. Of that total, 76 were from just three countries: Argentina, Canada, and the United States. Weather was unseasonably warm and again there was little snow, so only three Alpine Skiing events—the Slalom, Giant Slalom, and Super G—were staged. The U.S. and Canada combined to win all 18 medals.
PASO awarded the second Pan American Winter Games to Santiago, Chile for 1993.
The United States warned that it would not take part unless a full schedule of events was held. The Santiago organizing committee eventually gave up and the idea has not been revived since.

Vomiting blood is regurgitating ("throwing up") contents of the stomach that contains blood.
Vomited blood may appear either a bright red or dark red color. The vomited material may be mixed with food or it may be blood only.
Hematemesis; Blood in the vomit
It may be hard to tell the difference between vomiting blood and coughing up blood (from the lung) or a nosebleed.
Conditions that cause vomiting blood can also cause blood in the stool.
The upper GI (gastrointestinal) tract includes the mouth, throat, esophagus (swallowing tube), stomach and the duodenum (first part of the small intestine). Blood that is vomited may come from any of these places.
Vomiting that is very forceful or continues for a very long time may cause a tear in the small blood vessels of the throat. This may produce streaks of blood in the vomit.
Swollen veins in the walls of the lower part of the esophagus, and sometimes the stomach, may begin to bleed. These veins (called varices) are present in people with severe liver damage.
Other causes may include:
Get medical attention right away. Vomiting blood can be a result of a serious medical problem.
Call your doctor or go to the emergency room if vomiting of blood occurs. You will need to be examined by a health care provider right away.
The doctor will examine you and ask questions such as:
Tests that may be done include:
If you have vomited a lot of blood, you may need emergency treatment. This may include:

Doesn't matterm T-minus 6 days and counting till he's gone.
Tim Tebow did his best to clarify the flurry of reports that have come out since Sunday's loss to the Chargers -- a game where Tebow did not play and was replaced in the Wildcat formation by Jeremy Kerley.
He denied asking out of the Wildcat during a meeting with Rex Ryan on Tuesday, shortly after he found out he would not be the starter on Sunday. Tebow said that he did, however, thoroughly express his unhappiness about the decision for the first time in a "man to man" talk with Ryan; the first of which he's had all year. He told Ryan that he wanted to play "regular quarterback," something he reiterated several times.
Later on in the week, Tebow said he and Ryan still spoke sparingly, but after seeing Kerley's increased repetitions in the formation on Thursday, Tebow sought the coach out to clear the air and make sure he was not misunderstood.
Tebow only had a few Wildcat reps on Thursday. The Friday meeting was the next time Ryan was available for a talk.
"I said 'yeah, I'm frustrated with this,' absolutely and he knew that, he knew that I was frustrated by me saying it, but I didn't ask out, or say I wouldn't do anything," Tebow said.
He added: "(A possible misunderstanding) is why I expressed back to him Friday, I said 'Coach, you still know I'll do anything for this team, right? I'll do whatever,'" Tebow said. "He appreciated that, I think he knew that but I think he appreciated me going back and saying it."
Tebow said that his Christmas "wasn't the best" because he spent time hearing analysts bash his character and assume that he "quit" on the team by asking out of the Wildcat. Tebow wanted to clear up that sentiment on Wednesday with reporters.
"I didn't say I wouldn't do anything, that is not the truth," Tebow said. "For it just to come out and for people to run with it about my character and not being a good teammate, I think that's disappointing because your reputation is who you are and my reputation means a lot to me."
Later, he added: "You work your whole life to build a reputation. Then people try to bring you down when they don't understand what happened."
Tebow wished he was more clear with an ESPN reporter he spoke to late on Sunday after the game so he could curb the rumors before they took off.
"That was not it at all, it was just me asking for an opportunity to play the position I love, which is quarterback," Tebow said. "I can't lie about that, I was definitely disappointed (in McElroy being named the starter), he knew that, he understood the frustration and we talked about it for a while."
Doesn't matterm T-minus 6 days and counting till he's gone.
Who was this bum, Teblow??
Was he ever on the Jets?
these are the questions that will be asked starting NEXT MONDAY when finally, thank the lord, his useless act is shipped out of town on the next plane to Jacksonville
correction warfish
Wednesday 4:30 PM
to Monday morning
Less than five days to ridding the Jets of Teblow
Yet another symptom of a poor leader. When Ryan was confronted straight up by one of his subordinates, one-on-one, he indirectly and cowardly "slapped it down" by punishing the subordinate.
Message sent by Ryan? "All you dumbass players STFU. I make the decisions here and don't give a rats ass about your piddly issues".
Ryan's decisions, conduct, demeanor, all scream "poor leader".
Can this fool.
Seriously, GMCJet, you should stick to leaky diesels
you are the village idiot of this village when it comes to football
he didn't ask out of the Wildcat.
he just asked to play "regular quarterback."
which means he asked not to play Wildcat.
glad we cleared that up
If Ryan is rehired, then there is no doubt in my mind that our suffering will continue. He is a horrible HC, horrible game manager, horrible evaluator and wants to be loved by his players, not respected. He must go.
why don't you just put me on ignore since you are the one constantly whining and crying about getting me banned
If "Your (sic) so sick and tired" then do take that big step and put me on ignore and then fix the problem
much easier than your constant whining, insulting, namecalling and personal attacks about it

The chances of the U.S. Open staging a Monday night prime-time men's final next year is "50-50,'' according to a USTA source.
Today's Andy Murray-Novak Djokovic men's final is the fifth straight year it has been pushed back from Sunday to Monday. There's a surge of support from USTA officials to make Monday permanent, but in prime time.
On the eve of the Open, USTA CEO Gordon Smith said next year the men will definitely have one day of rest between the semifinals and final. Smith said a Friday semifinal-Sunday final scenario was being discussed, but wouldn't rule out a Saturday-Monday finish.
Turns out the USTA prefers the Super Saturday-Monday night scenario but is fearful the ATP will object because it adds on extra day of work.
The USTA is intrigued about a Monday night scenario as it is part of the U.S. sporting culture.
Besides Monday Night Football, the NCAA men's championship basketball game is played on Monday night. The argument about going up against the NFL on Monday night is empty since the Sunday final already directly competes against a slate of football's season openers.
Andre Agassi, with Andy Roddick in attendance, was formally inducted yesterday into the US Open Court of Champions, given his plaque.
In an emotional speech, Agassi said, "To describe the sound you made in big matches, it's like a jet engine.''

We believe that you will find it easier to search records while using the new software. The change-over was not without "glitches" and problems - most of which have been worked through. If you have any problems accessing our website please contact the IQS Help Desk 1-800-320-2617 OR firstname.lastname@example.com.
Will my credit card numbers be kept safe?
No credit card information will be stored on the County Clerk system.
Why can't I use Discover or American Express to pay for documents?
There is a New York State contract that offers credit card processing services for a discounted rate. This allows us to keep the document charge low. This contract currently supports only MasterCard or Visa. If this changes to allow other credit cards, our website will be updated to offer those other options as well.
If I give you my email address, will I get spam?
We will not give your email address out. We will use it for one purpose: to send you one email containing your order information and order number.
What Is Your Privacy Policy?
No personal information entered on the website will be shared with any outside parties under any circumstances. No credit card information is saved on the website. This is why the credit card number must be entered for each transaction. Email addresses will be used only for sending the order number as part of the document copy purchase transaction.

We are astronauts on Spaceship Earth
Like any well-designed spaceship, ours has a life support system.
Our planet's life support system is a solar powered recycling system.
In this system the Sun provides the energy to recycle and renew the air we breathe,
the water we drink, the food we eat and everything we want or care about.
Our planet's life support system is fundamental to everything we are and will ever be.
It is the foundation of all history, culture, art, science, religion,
and even the very process of consciousness becoming.
If our human family doesn't develop life support sustaining ways to live and make livings soon,
our planet's life support system will collapse with much suffering and regret along the way.
I believe we can completely avoid this calamity.
I believe we can create economies and ways of life that are fair, just, respectful, humane, prosperous,
and completely life support sustaining.
All that's required is that enough of us work together to make it happen.
When good people come together, the only limit is our imagination and consciousness.
And ultimately there is no limit to that.
I committed to taking a leadership role in this effort.
I invite you to join me.
We'll all feel better, and our children and future generations will thank us.

The Big Picture: 5 Ways to Know if You're Making a Difference
David Korten's newly revised and greatly expanded 2nd edition of Agenda for a New Economy: From Phantom Wealth to Real Wealth, outlines an agenda to create a new kind of economy: locally-based, community oriented, and devoted to creating a better life for all.
In this special pre-publication excerpt Korten explains how to tell if your actions are helping to build the new economy that "must be lived into being from the bottom up."
For the many millions of us working to create a better world, it is easy to feel discouraged by the seeming insignificance of even major successes relative to the scale of the problems we face as a nation and a species. Consumed by the details and challenges of our daily engagements, we may easily lose sight of the big picture of the powerful social dynamic to which our work is contributing.
Step back from time to time; take a breath, look out beyond the immediate horizon to bring that big picture back into perspective. Reflect in awe and wonder at the power of the larger social dynamic to which your work contributes.
In my career in international development, I saw, time and again, that the most successful projects were not the largest or the most carefully, centrally planned; they were the ones that arose from the bottom up. Likewise, successful social movements are emergent, evolving, radically self-organizing, and involve the dedicated efforts of many people, each finding the role that best uses his or her gifts and passions. Their scope and their success may not, at first, be readily apparent. Social movements grow and evolve around framing ideas and mutually supportive relationships instead of through top-down direction. New ideas gain traction, or not, depending on what works for those involved in the movement. Some alliances are fleeting; others endure.
The organism, not the machine, provides the appropriate metaphor. The relevant knowledge resides not in the heads of outside experts but in the people who populate the system. The challenge is to help them recognize, organize, and use that knowledge in ever more effective ways.
This is the model I think of when I think about what it will take to build the New Economy—one based on fulfilling the basic needs of people and planet—that we need. It's also the way that that economy is already being built: step by step, in creative and surprising ways, by people looking for alternatives to a system that isn't working for them.
To bring down the institutions of Empire, we must begin to build the rules, relationships, and institutions of a New Economy. These must be lived into being from the bottom up.
So how do you know whether your work is contributing to a big-picture outcome? If you can answer yes to any one of the following five questions, then be assured that it is.
- Does it help discredit a false cultural story fabricated to legitimize relationships of domination and exploitation and to replace it with a true story describing unrealized possibilities for growing the real wealth of healthy communities?
- Is it connecting others of the movement's millions of leaders who didn't previously know one another, helping them find common cause and build relationships of mutual trust that allow them to speak honestly from their hearts and to know that they can call on one another for support when needed?
- Is it creating and expanding liberated social spaces in which people experience the freedom and support to experiment with living the creative, cooperative, self-organizing relationships of the new story they seek to bring into the larger culture?
- Is it providing a public demonstration of the possibilities of a real-wealth economy?
- Is it mobilizing support for a rule change that will shift the balance of power from the people and institutions of the Wall Street phantom-wealth economy to the people and institutions of living-wealth Main Street economies?
These are useful guidelines for setting both individual and group priorities. Bear in mind that in a systems-change undertaking of this magnitude, there is no magic bullet and no one is going to make it happen on their own, so don't be discouraged if the world looks much the same today despite your special and heroic effort yesterday. It took five thousand years to create the mess we are in today. It will take more than a few days to set it right.
David is co-founder and board chair of YES! Magazine, co-chair of the, president of the , and a founding board member of the (BALLE). His books include Agenda for a New Economy: From Phantom Wealth to Real Wealth, The Great Turning: From Empire to Earth Community, and the international best seller When Corporations Rule the World.

The Boss today calls attention to a New York Times feature about unemployment:
It's bad enough that the unemployment rate has doubled in only a year and a half and one out of six construction workers is out of work. What truly troubles President Obama's economic advisers is that, even adjusting for the recession, the contraction in employment seems way too high. . . .
The Federal Reserve now expects unemployment to surpass 10 percent . . . The economy has shed 6.5 million jobs . . . Economists fear that even when the economy turns around, the job market will be stagnant.
Even while the media keeps pushing "recovery" talk, the further ahead you look, the scarier it gets:
The global economy may fall back into a recession by late 2010 or 2011 because of rising government debt, higher oil prices and a lack of job growth, said Nouriel Roubini, the New York University economist who predicted the credit crisis. A "perfect storm" of fiscal deficits, rising bond yields, "soaring" oil prices, weak profits and a stagnant labor market could "blow the recovering world economy back into a double-dip recession," he wrote . . .
Did anybody notice that the FDIC took over six banks Friday, bringing the year-to-date total to 64 bank failures? And there's more trouble on the horizon for the banking industry:
Regional banks can no longer ignore the elephant in the room — their exposure to the commercial real estate bust . . . analysts expect credit problems over the next year to center on commercial real estate — mortgages on office and apartment buildings and shopping malls, as well as construction, development and industrial loans. U.S. banks hold some $1.8 trillion worth of commercial loans, according to Federal Reserve data . . . With financing markets locked up and the economy still mired in recession — unemployment is at a 26-year high while capacity utilization, a key measure of industrial production, recently hit a record low — observers fear a wave of loans will go bad in coming quarters . . .
People who read headline saying the worst is over need to read the fine print in those stories. If the headline says "June New Home Sales Up," for example, be sure to pay attention to the bad news about the good news:
However, sales are still 28% below the levels of a year ago, when new homes sold in June at an annualized rate of 530,000. Four years ago, during the height of the housing boom, the sales rate for June was 1,374,000, nearly three-and-a-half times higher than last month. . . .
Look at what analysts told the Wall Street Journal:
"[T]he dismal state of the U.S. labor market will continue to cast a long shadow over the prospects for a meaningful recovery in the sector in the near term . . ."
"[T]he report showed a sharp 6% sequential decline in June suggesting that much of the sales activity was concentrated at the lower end of the market . . ."
"The news sounds better than it looks . . . despite the jump in sales in June, new home sales remain at very low levels, and the not seasonally adjusted data show a total of 36,000 homes sold nationwide in June, the lowest sales total for June since 1982."
Hey, how good can the economy be, if Tim Geithner can't sell his house? The two-week stock-market surge — which saw the Dow Jones Industrial Average zoom up about 800 points before the rally ended Friday — was fueled in large measure by a constant media drumbeat of "recovery is near" messages. Allen Abelson of Barron's is getting tired of the happy-talk:
The melancholy fact is that our ink, online and TV colleagues can be too easily snookered by Washington, Wall Street and Corporate America, all of whom are desperately peddling recovery rather than reality.
One of the things that make it hard for people to figure out which way the economy is heading is that analysts shy away from outright predictions:
Like being a weatherman who never gets around to saying firmly, "It's gonna rain tomorrow," you're always 100% accurate.
Me? I boldly say, "Bring your umbrella." As I first explained in December at The American Spectator, the most important thing to understand about Obamanomics is It Won't Work. The neo-Keynesian deficit-spending "stimulus" approach, which began with Henry Paulson and the Bush administration, is the exact opposite of what the economy needs, because The Fundamentals Still Suck.
Obamanomics flunks in terms of the basics. There is nothing in economic history to support the belief that the agenda currently being pursued in Washington will lead to real recovery. Jimmy Carter-style "stagflation" is a much more likely result.

Whole Grain Peanut Butter Granola Bars (Gluten Free, Casein Free)
I am constantly on a search for fun, quick, on-the-go breakfast recipes. This week I tried making granola bars for the first time.
Did you ever make something for the first time and then kick yourself because you had never made it before? Well, this is one of those recipes. It it so incredibly easy. No serious baking skills needed. It's just easy and plain good.
And I get tired of muffins... have I mentioned that?
Granola bars are a great on-the-go breakfast. The problem with most homemade granola recipes is that they are full of fat and seriously packed with sugar. My bars are not! They do have sugar and fat in them, but the amounts are drastically reduced from most of the recipes I have seen available.
These chocolately peanut butter bars are also super delicious and have a perfect amount of healthy proteins and whole grains. I had not had a real granola bar in years until I had these babies, and they are completely yummy!
Michael and I both enjoyed them as a snack after dinner last night as well as for breakfast this morning. I can promise you they will show up more often in my brown bag for snacks during the day at work!
Next time I might even throw in some flax seeds for good measure! ;-)
Whole Grain Peanut Butter Granola Bars
(Gluten Free, Casein Free)
Granola Bars:
1/4 cup Earth Balance Spread, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 egg
1/2 cup millet flour -or- brown rice flour
1/2 cup sorghum flour
1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum (optional)
1/2 cup quinoa flakes
1 cup GF oats (or sub with additional quinoa flakes)
1 1/4 cups puffed millet cereal
1/4 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons allergen free chocolate chips, chopped finely
2 tablespoons chopped pecans
Chocolate Drizzle (optional):
1/4 cup allergen free chocolate chips
1 tsp. spectrum shortening
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl mix together softened Earth Balance spread, brown sugar, honey, peanut butter, and the egg. In another bowl mix the remaining dry ingredients together thoroughly. Stir dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Press into a 9x13" baking pan, sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until light, golden brown. Cool and cut into bars.
For Drizzle: Mix together chocolate chips and spectrum shortening. Microwave for 30 seconds. Stir until smooth and velvety. Drizzle over bars. Let bars continue to cool completely. Refrigerate leftover bars. Makes 12 bars.

MMM. Those look good!ReplyDelete
I will definitely try this when I get the ingredients! Thanks for posting so many recipes...I am pretty new to this.ReplyDelete
Christy @ Chrysler Creek
Looks AWESOME! I was just about to wonder why I didn't get this in my inbox and then I realized you posted it today. lolReplyDelete
- KristinaJuly 9, 2008 at 12:35 PM
Wow, these look delicious! I'll have to try them before fall- they look like they'd be the perfect quick mid-morning snack in the classroom!ReplyDelete
Those look great! I made my own first foray into granola bars the other day too, though mine don't require baking. I'll post them once I've got the recipe perfected.ReplyDelete
Mm...those look so yummy, Carrie! Anything drizzled in chocolate is a winner. ;)ReplyDelete
BTW, check out the bread on my blog...it's your recipe tweaked a little. I can't thank you enough for your awesome sandwich bread recipe. :)
I always wanted to make something like this with puffed millet cereal, and of course, as usual, you stepped up to the plate and created a masterpiece! Sorry I've been "gone" so long. We're finally settling into our house and I hope to converse with you more again soon.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJanuary 10, 2009 at 4:59 PM
These were so good - thanks! I made with puffed rice and corn flakes instead of the millet and quinoa cereals - it's what I had on hand! we froze in individual bars and the kids and my husband had snacks for the week!ReplyDelete
These were great! I am just snacking on the last of them now...I added the chocolate chips inside so I didn't worry about chocolate fingers! Any suggestions on how to cut some fat by subbing something for the butter? Perhaps I could even try EVOO to have a "healthier" fat...ReplyDelete
Thanks for all the great recipes!
I can't wait to try these! Great blog too chica!ReplyDelete

South Island water sports
New Zealand's location as an island in the Pacific Ocean means wherever you are, you're never far from the water.
1 / 4
Combined with its subtropical climes and relaxed way-of-life, New Zealand is the ideal backdrop for enjoying pursuits in and on the water. The numerous wetlands, lakes and coastal areas dotted in and around the South Island means there are boundless opportunities for visitors and locals alike to enjoy water sports.
Lake Brunner is the largest lake on the West Coast and known as the region's 'water playground'.

The number of senior citizens who choose to keep their own homes is expected to increase significantly as the aging population grows. The U.S. Administration on Aging estimates there will be about 72 million seniors in the United States by 2030, nearly one-fifth of the U.S. population.
With people living longer and healthier lives, there is a growing movement focused on "aging in place," which is living independently in their home for as long as seniors can keep up with the demands of maintaining their residences.
Staying safe
The day-to-day activities in the typical senior citizen's home requires the same energy and easy access needed in other households. But reduced mobility or health conditions may require changes in the home to allow for physical limitations and keep the home as safe as possible.
For instance, medications and necessities required on a daily basis have to be reached easily. If seniors must use a step stool to get something, they risk taking a fall that can cause an injury. Lowering shelves or relocating items to within arm's length will make life easier.
Keeping the home free of clutter that can be tripped over is another way to prevent accidents. Tight spaces such as hallways should be wide enough for seniors to get through easily.
Bathroom safety is particularly important. Installing a walk-in tub or using a removable shower seat can cut down on accidents.
Adding comforts
Accessibility for senior citizens also needs to take into account that they may not have the dexterity of a younger person. Having door handles and faucets that are easy to operate helps elderly people who have difficulty grasping fixtures.
Other ways to guarantee a senior's comfort in the bathroom, particularly for those who have arthritis or muscle problems, is to install radiant floor heating and towel warmers. Touching down on a warm floor after stepping out of the bath or shower and reaching for a towel that's been warmed is an extra benefit for seniors who choose to maintain their own residence.

Back in January, I wrote the following about potential updates to Apple's consumer-level software offerings, iLife and iWork:
The next significant milestone in Apple's 30th-anniversary year could be March 24, six years to the day of the release of Mac OS X 10.0. Or how about April 1, anniversary of the company's incorporation? Then there's this year's NAB conference, the scene of past Apple product introductions starting on April 14. Will we see the 2007 application/OS lineup before then?
Yeah, well, we all know about the OS part. So what's the deal with the iApps? Although they remain no-shows so far, a report from MacTechNews.de indicates that deliveries of newly-ordered copies of iLife 06 are being delayed until June 12th—say, isn't that one day after the keynote address at WWDC? Why yes, it is.
"Wait, what? Why would Apple release a consumer product suite at a developer conference?" I hear you mumble around your Sausage McMuffin breakfast. Two possible reasons come to mind. One, WWDC has sort of supplanted the Macworld Expo
Boston New York as Apple's summer product showcase, for better or worse. Two, and more importantly, remember how we speculated that iLife/iWork might rely on special, Leopard-only features? The MacTechNews article points out that even if the revised products work perfectly well under Tiger, they may contain additional Leopard-specific features that Apple doesn't want to reveal until after the Steve has had a chance to show them off. Okay, maybe it's something of a stretch, but it would help to explain why we're almost halfway into 2007 with no new versions out yet. Maybe they'll title it "iLife 2H07" instead?

Marvel Titles no Longer Available Digitally
January 2, 2014 - Deadpool and other Marvel titles have disappeared from digital stores, as it appears the licensing deals have expired.
Wolverine's Gaming Legacy
April 29, 2009 - Wolverine has appeared in more than 25 videogames since he made his virtual debut on the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1989. In some he was the undisputed headliner, and in others he took a back seat to his fellow mutants. But even when he wasn't the main attraction, Wolvie was always a star, even if the titles he was in weren't exactly bastions of videogame greatness (we're looking at you, Marvel Nemesis). You can thank the upcoming film X-Men Origins: Wolverine for the latest game of the same name, which ships out on Tuesday. A gruesome and hardcore affair, Activision's newest Wolverine vehicle strays far from previous Marvel superhero games, pulling the claws out for some real blood-and-guts action. And although you'll have to wait for our final review to see if the latest is worth your hard-earned adamantium, we can tell you one thing – this ain't your great-great-grandma's Wolverine videogame.
TGS 2006: Microsoft's Game List
September 20, 2006 - Microsoft has been keeping gamers in the dark on its Tokyo Game Show plans for the Xbox 360, but following the end of its pre-show press conference today, it was at last willing to speak. It turns out that the Microsoft booth will be full of titles, with everything from Riot Act to Blue Dragon appearing in playable form.
X-Men: The Official Game
May 22, 2006 - "I hope the movie is better than this..." was one of the few key phrases that kept cycling through my head as I played along with Activision's terribly under-realized plot bridge, X-Men: The Official Game. It's the epitome of wasted potential and had me wondering aloud such other popular axioms as, "Man, this game is really easy! Is that the only thing my guy can do?" and "What's up with this dummy AI?"
X-Men Ships to Stores
May 16, 2006 - Ready to get all mutant super hero? Activision, Marvel, and Twentieth Century Fox are hoping so since they shipped X-Men: The Official Game of the Movie to retail stores nationwide. A version for every available platform will arrive just before the third installment of the X-Men movie trilogy X-Men: The Last Stand swoops into theaters.
Zak Penn Talks X-Men
May 11, 2006 - Zak Penn has felt both the love and scorn of X-Men fans. As a writer on X2: X-Men United, he enjoyed great celebration from hard-to-please fanboys. But as writer of X-Men: The Last Stand, he's been sometimes vilified by doubting fans, worried that the final chapter in the X-Men franchise will be a disaster. No one actually knows the final fate of the latest X-Men film, but we'll find out Memorial Day weekend when The Last Stand hits theatres.
Pre-E3 2006: X-Men - Taking Down Sentinels

X-Men: Way of the Samurai
April 21, 2006 - Learn about Wolverine's X3 foe and see who else is popping up in Activision's Official Movie Game.
X-Men: The Official Game Hands-on
April 10, 2006 - "Since the dawn of existence, there have always been moments when the course of history shifted. Such a turning point is upon us now. The conflict between the better and worse angels of our very nature, whose outcome will change our world so greatly, there will be no going back. I do not know if victory is possible. I only know that great sacrifice will be required And because the fate of many will depend on a few, we must make the last stand."
X-Men: Sentinel on the Watchtower
April 7, 2006 - In May, 20th Century Fox releases the (supposedly) final X-Men film. X-Men: The Last Stand focuses on the growing divide between peaceful mutants and would-be revolutionaries, such as Magneto.

Panels-to-Pixels: X3
February 7, 2006 - Recently, Activision rolled through the IGN offices to show off X-Men: The Official Movie Game. The title really says it all. Expected to ship for PS2, Xbox, Xbox 360 and Nintendo DS a week or two prior to the release of X-Men: The Last Stand, Activision's latest X-adventure serves as a bridge between X2 and X3. This is the only Official Movie Game, so don't be fooled and buy one of the unofficial knock-offs.
X-Men: The Official Game First Look
February 2, 2006 - If you're a comics fan that's curious about Nightcrawler's whereabouts in the upcoming movie sequel X3, then X-Men: The Official Game may be just what you're looking for. Developed by Z-Axis after a long hiatus from the gaming world, X-Men TOG serves as a bridge between the final moments of 2003's enjoyable superhero flick and this year's highly anticipated follow-up.

Subscribe To Paul Bettany Elaborates On The Vision's Role In Avengers 2: Age Of Ultron Updates
I've already subscribed
Though much of the press regarding Avengers 2: Age Of Ultron has gone to post-credit superstars Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch, most aren't acknowledging the biggest Marvel Universe addition, the hero Vision. Paul Bettany has received an upgrade, originally serving as J.A.R.V.I.S. in the Iron Man movies, but it seems as if now he's all suited up for Avengers: Age Of Ultron, playing a robot that originally joined the team in 1968.
Promoting Transcendence on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Bettany confirmed he was playing the character, a sentient robot with a list of abilities. This had been rumored for some time. Bettany confirmed, however, that he won't have all the abilities in the comics, claiming they "pick and choose." He then proceeded to obey Marvel's gag order, refusing to discuss it much further. But he does talk about the process of voicing J.A.R.V.I.S.
"It's very exciting for me, but everything is a double edged sword because I was playing J.A.R.V.I.S. for years. My job was, I would turn up in a recording studio for 45 minutes, do all my stuff. And then they'd give me a huge bag of cash, and then I'd go home! But it turns out they found me out, and now they actually want me to do something!"
That Paul Bettany is such a charmer! The actor never really broke out into the mainstream sadly, and it's doubtful a role like this will help: as the clip above shows, he's got much too much good humor and charm to be stuck playing a machine. But there's reason to believe the movie Vision will be wildly different from the comics. After all,the character's brain patterns in the source material are based on those of Wonder Man, a hero has yet to be introduced in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. That said, Bettany's time with Marvel has already played fast and loose with the mythology, as the comic's version of Jarvis is a human and an actual butler at Avengers Mansion, much in the same vein as Batman's Alfred.
Also in the comics, Vision also has a long-going relationship with Scarlet Witch, and the movies are stretching the plausibility of the common moviegoer already by featuring one character that's a sentient a.i. (two counting Ultron) and another that can actually control probability. Would a romance between Bettany's robotic hero and Elizabeth Olson's tortured mutant/miracle be that strange? Marvel is releasing a movie about a talking raccoon this summer. It's not like they have limits in regards to implausible concepts.

WASHINGTON - An experimental device is letting paralyzed people drive wheelchairs simply by flicking their tongue in the right direction.
WASHINGTON - An experimental device is letting paralyzed people drive wheelchairs simply by flicking their tongue in the right direction.
Key to this wireless system: Users get their tongue pierced with a magnetic stud that resembles jewelry and acts like a joystick.
Researchers reported yesterday that 11 people paralyzed from the neck down rapidly learned to use the tongue device to pilot their wheelchairs through an obstacle course and to operate a computer, too.
"It's really powerful because it's so intuitive," said Jason DiSanto, 39, of Atlanta, who was among the first spinal-cord-injury patients to get his tongue pierced for science and try out the system. "The first time I did it, people thought I was driving for, like, years."
Researchers in Atlanta and Chicago put the Tongue Drive System to the test against one of the most widely used assistive technologies, called sip-and-puff, that users operate by breathing into a straw. Using the tongue, patients operated their wheelchairs a bit faster but just as accurately - and on average, they performed about three times better on video-gamelike computer tests, said lead researcher Maysam Ghovanloo, director of Georgia Tech's bionics lab.
The research, reported in the journal Science Translational Medicine, is an early step that allowed use of the device only inside laboratories. Larger studies in real-world conditions are required before the device can be sold. And the tongue piercing might be a turn-off for some potential users, the researchers acknowledge.
Here's how the system works: A headset detects the tongue's position when the user flicks that magnetic stud. Touch a spot on the right bottom tooth to go right, for example. The headset wirelessly beams that information to a smartphone the user carries. An app then sends the command to move the wheelchair or the computer cursor.
The tongue is "unobtrusive, easy to use and flexible," said Ghovanloo, a biomedical engineer who created the system and has started a company that is working with Georgia Tech to commercialize it.
Most people with spinal-cord injuries - or neurologic diseases that also can paralyze - still can move the tongue. The tongue is pretty tireless, and the amount of real estate the brain's motor cortex dedicates to the tongue and mouth rivals that of the fingers and hand, offering multiple complex movements, Ghovanloo said.

Ill start from the beginning, since being little I have heard voices and seen things which other people dont, My family were not understanding, and i was diagnosed with Bi-polar disorder and put on Lithium and Olanzapine from 13 years old, Im now nearly 29 and all medication has been stopped for over five years and ive been doing great, i never doubted my illness till I started reading things on the internet and watching things on tv, which made me question what I had seen. Four years ago I left my husband for another man who was caring and loving at first, soon after he changed and began beating me whenever he had a drink, I put up with this for almost six weeks, until one day I started hearing a man whispering at first i couldnt understand what he was saying and ignored it then one day whilst alone in the house the voice came through strong and unmistakable it said "hes going to kill you" I instantly packed my bags and left, I thought it was my sub conscience and thats not something im going to ignore. Life really picked up after that I got my own place and sorted myself out, occasionally I heard voices of different people, for instance two older ladies where talking in the pub where i worked about one of there friends and i could hear someone else joining in with them quiet clearly, i didnt feel scared in fact she was making me laugh I even picked up her name i dont know how i just did, I never told anybody in case everyone thought I was ill again, i didnt like being on tablets they made me into an empty emotionless shell, so i kept it to myself. Now i have a partner of three years and i have finally told him what i sometimes experience and he is really supportive, I think i may have gotten in over my head though, as the other night just before the new year i was feeling a little lonely and a little wierd as though someone wanted to talk, so i invited them to, however i may have worded it badly or something because ever since I have been having really bad luck, If i get angry electrical things in my house start to break, lights my washing machine my pc twice, both me and my partner have lost our jobs, him being made redundant me arguing with my mother, (unfortunatly if you work for family even a minor tiff can blow out of proportion) I find people losing there temper with me a lot even though i havnt changed i seem to be radiating bad feelings to those around me, and all voices have stopped, frankly im starting to get scared, The list of bad luck dosnt stop there either family members in mine and my partners family have been taken seriously ill and all this bad luck has started from that day Can anyone give me advise without thinking im crazy or a fraud Ive never tried passing messages on or anything I have barely told anyone but im kind of desperate now, i have children and im starting to worry for them. I dont feel threatened as such i just feel like something is looming. Is this year a significant year? Because i feel the whole world is starting to go wrong.

Hi Jim, Thanks for sharing your stories and events. It sounds like you have a guardian angel or spirit guide, which would be the one that told you to leave or you would be killed, and glad you listened. Normally human spirits dont change our moods, or behavior unless we are under attack by a nasty entity, so I want to ask, is anything else going on as far as paranormal, or is it just a run of bad luck? Also spirits gain their energy from us, and our emotions, so fighting, arguing seems to drain us, but energize them. It almost sounds like someone is trying to intervene by making something happen when there is a great deal of negativity going on and telling you to STOP! Considering you do have children, they are your first concern, so I would try working things out or talking to your partner when the kids are in school, or wherever, as kids dont miss a trick and blame themselves when Mommy is upset. Its possible this is a down time in your life, and something out there is trying to get your attention to turn things around, afterall you have the power, the spirit doesnt..CE

Welcome to Ghost Village jimjax09. Thank you for sharing your story. When I was 3-4 years old, I learned to keep it all to myself because my mother scolded me for "telling stories". No, I don't think you're crazy. Or else we all are. Probably we all put it aside for awhile while growing up. I know I did until I realised that this is a part of being a human. Some people call it "a gift" but I think it's hard-wired into us and it depends on us whether we want to strengthen this part of ourselves or not.
Your basic question....."Can spirits bring bad luck?" I would have to say, NO! We all go through hard times sometime in our life. It will all depend on how we handle the situation, with grace or fear. Do you meditate at all? Just to spend 20 minutes all to yourself in quiet. It could be that your emotions are reved up to high gear right now with all that's going on, so it would be good to just slow down and know that you are being cared for and protected. Afterall, you have experienced that.

Livestock Marketing Association's list of reported cattle thefts
Higher cattle prices have led to more cases of stolen cattle across the country. University of Missouri Extension livestock specialist Eldon Cole says southwest Missouri has had more than its fair share. In the last three years, he estimates there were more than 500 head of cattle stolen in the area, with thefts escalating in the last 18 months.
"That number is really less than actuality. We don't really know a total," he says. "Many farmers don't always report thefts to the authorities because recovery of the animals doesn't happen often."
The seven-county radius around Mt. Vernon, Mo., have received the most reports of cattle theft. "Most theories are that there may be a couple groups working together," Cole says.
"It's not a random act—they are savvy cattlemen that know how to handle and sort animals. Most reports are of calves in the 500 lb. to 750 lb. or 800 lb. range."
Cole has talked to many cattle producers who say the thieves sorted out calves that would be easily identified, separated calves from cows and left the cows, and sorted out black from colored cattle, branded cattle or animals that would easily be identify otherwise. Cole says that this supports the theory that the animals may remain in the area, mixed with other calves and backgrounded for a period of time before selling.
Higher value cattle raises the stakes. While the situation in Missouri seems to be a localized ring targeting farmers in the area, the Livestock Marketing Association (LMA) has received 34 reports of stolen or missing livestock so far this year, says Jody Donohue, LMA director of communications. The reports are posted on the LMA website. Those reports range from one to more than 50 head in each case, from states such as California, Wyoming, Missouri, Texas and Iowa.
Donohue says the number of theft reports has risen over the past couple of years. "The trend is alarming. Last year, we about 200 reports, and we know that not all of the reports make it to us," she says. As cattle increase in value, the frequency of cattle thefts often increase.
"If your cattle are stolen it's very unlikely they that they will show up at a market close to where they were taken. If you hope to recover them, definitely report that they missing to your state law enforcement agency and any state associations who send out alerts. Once we get a report, directly from a producer, from law enforcement or another organization, weshare it with our members."
Donohue says livestock owners and employees pay attention to those reports and keep an eye out for cattle that meet the descriptions that LMA provides.
"The livestock markets really are one of the last lines of defense in retrieving stolen livestock. Market owners and employees look for things that don't make sense: like different brands or if the person seems out of place or unfamiliar with the process of selling cattle," Donohue says, adding that if something seems wrong, law enforcement is often called to investigate.
Stay aware to prevent criminal activity. "These groups have been crafty," Cole says. In one instance, there were six different fences cut to gather and steal a farmer's cattle. Another farmer was hit repeatedly—three occasions in a 18-month period—for a total of 40-plus head.
"More than 200 people attended our branding meeting this past week," Cole says. While many producers in the area don't brand their cattle, it may be one deterrent for thieves, he says.
Most thefts are still occurring at night, along county paved roads, especially if there are already cattle facilities there, says Sgt. Jason Clark, Missouri Rural Crimes Investigative Unit, part of the Missouri State Highway Patrol. "Southwest Missouri has always had more reports of cattle theft—mainly because there are more cattle there. With Hwy 44 running through the area, it's easy to move cattle out of the area quickly."
"Law enforcement will look for reasons to stop nighttime shipments of cattle, but the key is really to not keep cattle corralled near the road," Clark says.
If that is not something you can change, Clark advises farmers to consider installing security cameras. While it won't prevent a theft, it may help in recovering animals or catching the criminal in the act. "We use the game cameras more and more in areas that are seeing more criminal activity," he says, adding that he was installing such cameras during the interview with Farm Journal.
Cole said both the Missouri Cattlemen's Association and the Missouri Farm Bureau are offering $5,000 rewards for information leading to the arrest and conviction of cattle thieves.
"And there are several local people who have had cattle stolen that have teamed up and put together a $10,000 reward," he says.
Anyone who has information or needs to report a theft should contact the Missouri Rural Crimes Task Force at 1-888-484-8477.
