Cats make entertaining companions
Staff writer
Tomfoolery aside, Tom and Velcro enjoy their life as mascots of the Animal Health Center in Marion, sometimes a little too much according to veterinary technician Steph Jensen.
"Tom, the darker one, he is 15-years-old and kind of grumpy sometimes. Someone has to help him get up and down off the counter these days, but he loves visitors," she said. "Now, Velcro, he really likes to tease the bigger dogs that come in. He gets all fluffed up and growls at them like he is a big shot."
Jensen said the vet office took in Tom when his elderly owner could no longer care for him.
"His favorite place is underneath the counter in a box," she said. "But when customers come in he likes to get up and see what is going on."
It is never hard to find Velcro, a white cat with some orange markings, during office hours he makes it a point to be front and center of all attention if possible.
"Our groomer, Lori (Tajchman) raised Velcro and his five siblings on bottles," Jensen said. "We adopted all of them out, but Velcro's owner brought him back because he was so destructive. He likes to take things and then play with them until they get lost."
Among Velcro's favorite office toys are pens, pencils, and erasers. When not chasing something or entertaining customers, Velcro can be found lounging behind the computer or hiding out in the back offices.
"They really don't do much as far as catching mice or anything here," Jensen said. "But staff and clients really enjoy them. They greet just about everyone that comes in."

This publication compiles the material developed and discussed at a conference on the economic impact of emigration jointly organised by the OECD and the Latvian Ministry of Foreign Affairs on 17 December 2012.
The Baltic countries have experienced sustained emigration over the past decade, contributing to population decline and a loss of working-age population. The impact of this emigration is felt strongly in the labour market, the general economy and in social developments. How can countries deal with the impact of high levels of emigration? How to attract back emigrants? How best to benefit from the financial, social and human capital developed abroad? The Baltic countries are not alone in addressing these challenges, and this volume brings together the recent experience of Poland and Romania, as well as a wide range of OECD countries, in developing new policies to cope with emigration.

1st Worship Service
Every Sunday until June 4, 2017
9:00am – 10:15am
Location: 1770 S Dobson Rd., Chandler, AZ 85286Category: Church Event
What to expect on Sunday
The sign outside our church says, "No perfect people allowed," and we take that message seriously. We all struggle. We all have good and bad days. But we know Jesus loves us whether we have our lives together or not.
So don't feel like you have to "fix yourself" before you come to Hope. Just come as you are! Feel free to dress as casual or dressy as you want. You might see people in shorts and a T-shirt or in slacks and a button-down. Bottom line: we want you to be comfortable and feel welcomed, loved and accepted.
About our services
We have two Sunday morning services, one at 9:00 am and another at 10:45 am. Enjoy some coffee & light snacks before or in between services and connect with fellow guests and members of Hope. Both worship services are identical and offer children's programs and a nursery. Adult classes and junior- and senior-high groups meet during the 9 am service.
Our services are about 75 minutes. They feature contemporary worship songs and a life-changing message (listen to previous sermons HERE). If you'd like someone to pray for you in person, a team is available at the front of the sanctuary at the end of every service.
What about our children?
HopeKids, the children's experience at Hope, is designed uniquely for ages birth through fifth grade. While in HopeKids, your child will experience love and careful attention, along with engaging age-appropriate teaching, music and activities all developed to point your child toward a daily relationship with Christ. HopeKids experiences are staffed by dedicated volunteers who will be there to care for and love on your child. HopeKids utilizes a check-in system that ensures a safe environment for your child and also allows for efficient drop-off and pick-up for parents.
All junior and senior high students meet during the 9:00 am worship service in the sanctuary followed by a fun time of connection and learning from the Word of God in the youth rooms. There is even more available for them during the week, with Sunday evening gatherings for both senior high and junior high students on campus at 5:00 pm until 6:30 pm each week. Students may bring their friends over for some games and learning about Jesus. Our midweek small group for junior- and senior high students is age and gender-specific and geared towards discipleship and training our future youth leaders.

Venezuelans skeptical of power sabotage claims
CARACAS, Venezuela — People here expressed skepticism Wednesday about President Nicolas Maduro's claims that saboteurs caused a blackout that knocked out electricity in about 70 percent of the country, creating chaos in this city by interrupting subway service and snarling traffic.
For many, no explanation was necessary.
They say government neglect and incompetence are to blame for blackouts that have plagued Venezuela for years while rarely affecting the capital.
"I don't believe this tale about sabotage. We all know who is to blame," said Adriana Montoya, a housewife who said she was stuck for hours in traffic that jammed up as traffic lights went dark and subway service halted in Caracas, which lost power for five hours Tuesday.
Others complained of being stuck in trains in darkened subway tunnels before being evacuated to safety.
Blackouts are frequent in many of Venezuela's states, but few outages have affected Caracas in recent years.
Demands flooded Twitter calling for the resignation of Electrical Energy Minister Jesse Chacon, who vowed after being named to the post in April to revamp the power grid.
Chacon said the blackout stemmed from problems with transmission lines in the Bajo Caroni region, where 60 percent of Venezuela's power is generated by hydroelectric plants.
Fourteen of 23 states lost power for much of Tuesday.
Maduro claimed sabotage by "the extreme right-wing" was the cause, but did not present any evidence.
"We are facing a low-level conflict that seeks a high impact on society and politics," he said.
Even before Maduro's announcement, top opposition politician Leopoldo Lopez poked fun at officials who have claimed in the past that thunderstorms or iguanas climbing on power lines caused blackouts.
"We already know what you are going to say: That it was an iguana, a lightning bolt or sabotage," he tweeted.
During the campaign leading up to an April presidential election that Maduro narrowly won, Venezuela was hit by numerous power outages.
That prompted Maduro to accuse his political adversaries of resorting to sabotage as a means of hurting his chances for a victory.
The late President Hugo Chávez also blamed blackouts on sabotage, and like Maduro presented no evidence.
Chacon said authorities were investigating Tuesday's failure.
But Venezuelans held out little hope of getting the real story.
After a severe drought in 2010 that affected hydropower generation, the government stopped publishing information about its electrical generation and distribution, said Jose Aguilar, an industry consultant who'd worked with the government until then.
Aguilar said he expects more blackouts in the future because state utilities have focused on increasing power generation but haven't sufficiently maintained transmission lines.
He called maintenance problems "the Achilles heel" of Venezuela's state-run power companies.
Victor Poleo, an expert who closely tracks Venezuela's grid problems, also said state-run power companies haven't modernized power lines as a means of boosting transmission capacity.
"They have attempted to send more electricity through the lines that don't have any more capacity," Poleo told Union Radio, a local broadcaster.

I very much enjoy baking, but due to time restraints I don't have too many opportunities to make fancy desserts. Most of my time spent in the kitchen is devoted to making healthy meals. I also like to keep my sugar intake to a minimum, and with just two of us living here, most recipes yield too large a portion with a corresponding immense temptation. It's true that I could find lots of eager friends who would share, but like I said, I'm a busy person.
That's why quick breads, both sweet and savory, are so favored by me. Generally, they require little fuss and are essentially foolproof once you understand the basics. I based this recipe for cranberry lemon ricotta muffins on Molly Katzen's cherry-vanilla ricotta muffins. The original recipe comes from her Sunlight Café, a book cherished not only for straightforward and delicious breakfast ideas, but also for the selection of creative quick break ideas.
Feel free to omit the sour cream and use 1 cup of ricotta cheese instead.

I'm attending ICFP 2016 in Nara, Japan (near Osaka) this year. In previous years, I've really enjoyed Edward Yang's conference talk summaries, and decided that this year, I would take notes about the talks I attended and put them online myself.
Today, I attended the HOPE 2016 workshop on higher-order programming with effects, and took the following notes. These are all rough notes, taken in haste and based on a highly-jetlagged listener's poor listening comprehension. So assume all errors and misunderstandings are my fault!
Keynote (Leo White)
Due to jetlag, I overslept and missed it! Alas.
Effects via capabilities, Fengyin Liu (speaker)
The idea behind this work is to introduce explicit capability values that enable or disable effects. So you might have a capability c : IO, which must be passed to all IO operations. If you don't have the capability to pass to the IO operation, you can't invoke them.
print : IO -> string -> unit
Naively, though, there is an issue arising from the ability of closures to capture effect capabilities.
So two function spaces are introduced A => B, which is the usual ML-style function space, and A -> B, which is a function space which cannot capture capabilities or ML-style functions.
Interestingly, the full substitution lemma doesn't hold: you have to prove a value substitution theorem instead. This suggests to me that there might be a modal variant of this system, Davies-Pfenning style.
Liu suggested some type equivalences like A -> (B => C) == A -> B -> C, because the outer -> prevents the capture of capabilities. They can't prove the soundness of this by induction, of course, so I suspect they'll eventually want a logical relation to establish soundness. (A logical relation for Dotty would be exciting -- maybe chat with Amal Ahmed & Nada Amin about this?)
Polymorphism introduces some subtleties (ie, you might not know whether a type variable will be instantiated to a pure type), and they also worry about verbosity in practice (which might hinder adoption by Scala programmers).
A Logical Acount of a Type-and-Effect-System, Kasper Svendsen (speaker)
They have a parallel ML-style calculus with reads, writes and CAS. Locations are approximated in the type system with regions.
The region context is split into a public and private part, to control which locations you can get interference on.
Function types are annotated with which public, which private regions, and which read/write effects they have.
New regions can be introduced with dynamic extent. Private regions can be shared temporarily during parallel composition.
The type system makes region variables implicit -- this info is only in the typing derivation. So all terms look like ML terms.
The goal is to prove the correctness of program transformations which rely on the semantics of effects. For example, a sequential composition can be equated to a parallel composition
e; e' == e || e'
when there is no interference between these two terms.
He explains the intuition with binary logical relation, which are formulated within the Iris program logic (paper at POPL 2015). Here, the logical relation is a per-type family of simulation relation, encoded as Hoare triples in a unary program logic.
Here, they use a really neat feature of Iris. Since Iris has any monoidal resource, they use simulation relations as resources! Then they express the parallel composition via a separating conjunction of simulations, one for e and one for e'. The fact that e and e' don't interfere means that e' steps are stuttering steps for e, and vice-versa. They even let simulation relations share state, when the state is read-only.
Simple Dependent Polymorphic IO Effects, Amin Timay (speaker)
They want a logical relation for a type-and-effect system for IO. The IO effects are like regexps, but have effect variables, channels, and quantification over what is written -- eg, cat would have the effect:
to indicate that it writes what it reads from a to b. They want the relation to relate (say) that a buffered implementation of cat refines the unbuffered version, and also to validate the parallel composition transformation for non-interfering operations.
The language of effects is very rich, so I don't have a good feel for what it can and can't express. Eg, the reasoning for the buffering optimization was entirely type-based, based on the effect subtyping order!
Concurrent Data Structures Linked in Time, German Delbianco (speaker)
This talk was about Hoare-style verification of highly concurrent data structures, such as "concurrent snapshots".
Eg, you have a shared array a, and a function write(i,x) which makes an atomic update to the array, and a function scan(), which returns a snapshot of the state of the array at a particular instant.
He then presented Jayanti's algorithm for this, and gave a nice intuition for why the right notion for correctness of the snapshots was linearizability. What made the algorithm tricky is that the linearization points for the algorithm are not fixed -- they are not fixed (they can be vary with the runtime inputs).
Then he introduced the notion of events in the ghost state, which are organized for each thread into subject and environment events, and which are each connected to an instant of time. The variation in where linearization points occur could then arise via modifications of when each event happened -- which is an update on the "linked list" of time, which can be modelled as ghost state!
This has all been verified in FCSL, a Coq-based program logic that Ilya Sergey and Aleks Nanevski are some of the main forces behind.
Ralf Jung asked if they had verified any clients, and German said they had used it for a few small clients, but nothing big. Ilya said that people just assumed snapshots were "obviously" good, but no one had any really good/complex examples of them. He said that they hoped to figure some out now that they had a declarative spec of them.
Growing a Proof Assistant, William Bowman (speaker)
WB began with an example of some notations for an informal type soundness proof. He pointed out that some of the notations (like BNF) are formal, and others (like defining let-binding in terms of lambdas) are informal.
Then he pointed out that there are tools like Ott which compile BNF to Coq/Agda/LaTeX, and that most proof assistants (like Coq) have APIs to define notations, tactics, and plugins. Then he said that this wasn't enough, and that he wanted to build a proof assistant focused on extensibility.
The core type theory was TT (basically MLTT with a countable universe hierarchy), and the extensibility framework was Racket (to reuse as much of the macro machinery as possible).
Then he began explaining how cur could be used to implement pattern matching. Things like recursive functions required compile-time state to communicate information from outside the local syntax tree.
Then he moved on to defining tactics, and gave a small language for this. He needed to support fully elaborating terms (so that user tactics could be defined solely on kernel syntax), and also a way to run cur code at expansion-time to support Mtac style tactics.
This made me wonder about phase separation, but then he immediately put this and several other issues (such as how to preserve properties like parametricity while supporting reflection on syntax).
Someone asked about how to combine extensions. WB replied that macros support this because of the architecture of Racket macros, which essentially support open recursion to permit multiple macros to run at once. He also remarked that this creates classical problems from OO like diamond inheritance.
Algebraic Effects for Functional Programming, Daan Leijen (speaker)
Daan Leijen gave a talk about adding algebraic effects to Koka. Koka had effect types based on monads, but (a) he wanted a better story for composition, and (b) he wanted to be able to handle exotic control operators (like yield, exceptions, and async/await) in a uniform way.
He has a full compiler for effect handlers in Koka, with row-polymorphic effect typing. The compilation scheme uses a type-directed CPS translation to implement effect handlers targeting JS, .NET, JVM (which are rather direct-style). Then he talked a bit about the semantics and syntax of Koka to set the stage.
Next, he talked about examples, starting with exceptions. He mentioned that row types in Koka permit duplicated lables. I wonder how Koka picks?
I also wondered about using algebraic effects for the "mock object" pattern from OO testing.
Then he showed iteration, and remarked that handlers permit the handler to control whether iteration stops or not. Then he showed asynchronous callbacks (Node-style), and showed that you could pass the handler's resume continuation as an argument.
Then he talked about the compilation to managed code where first-class continuations don't exist. This uses a type-directed style to avoid using CPS when it doesn't need it. The main issue is with effect polymorphism, which he resolves by compiling it twice in both ways, and then using a worked-wrapper transformation to pick the right representation.
SPJ asked if he depended upon a defined order of evaluation. Daan said this was about effects for Haskell, and handed off to Sam Lindley, who said that the situation in Haskell was the same as in Koka -- you have to say what the evaluation order is (?).
Administrative Normal Form, Continued, Luke Maurer
CPS is good for optimization, but due to the costs, not everyone uses it. Flanagan pointed out that some CPS optimizations work in direct style, but it's not all of then.
Eg, case-of-case often creates values that go to known call sites, which shouldn't be allocated. This work extends ANF to support these, and to some significant effect in heap allocation rates.
Case-of-case can be solved by pushing in the context, and while there are engineering issues of code duplication, it can often be helpful. Many compilers do this.
However, it doesn't work for recursive functions. In CPS this transformation happens "almost for free". That is, you can do the static argument transformation, and then inline the static continuation to get the beta-reductions to fire. This is "contification".
So how does contification work in ANF? He notes that the static argument transformation only worked because the program was a tail call. So they tag functions which are always tail called (they are called "labels"). Then they add a new rewrite which moves outer cases into a label.
He gave the operational semantics for join points, which are pretty sensible.
Then he pointed out that it helps with list fusion. An unfold uses a step function
state -> option (a x state), which lets you eliminate intermediate lists, but introduces useless Just/Nothing cruft. But the new label/case-of-case machinery handles this and reduces many of them, and some benchmarks kill all of them.
This is in a new branch of GHC.
I asked how they would know if they had all the new constructs they needed. SPJ said he didn't know any CPS optimizations that could not be handled now, but that he didn't have a proof. Someone asked about one benchmark which allocated less but ran more slowly. I didn't understand the answer, though. :( Sam Lindley asked about the connection to SSA and phi-functions. Luke said that labels are much like phi-functions in SSA.
Functional models of full ground, and general, reference cells, Ohad Kammar
How can we understand reference cells. They have multiple axes:
- Locality -- freshness of newly allocated cells. (ie, ref 0 == ref 0 is always false)
- Ground vs Non-ground -- can we point to computations which can modify the heap (ref (int -> int))?
- Full storage -- semantics can depend on shape of the heap: (ref ref bool)
This talk is about full ground state. Approach of the talk is denotational semantics for full ground state, to get an equational theory for programs. He wants to use it to analyze the value restriction, and relax it if possible. He also wants to validate runST.
He found a bug in his semantics last night, so he will discuss the general techniques used rather than a particular model.
Levy introduced a trick to handle circular ground state, using names for reference types. (A la class names in OO).
Kripke worlds are a finite set of locations, and a name for each location. A world morphism is a name-preserving injection. Worlds have monoidal structure. The language lives in the functor category over worlds, and so can interpret CCCs, and references at a world w are interpreted as the set of locations of that type.
To model computations we need a monad
To decide which equations we need, we have the usual deref/assignment/allocation equations. We don't have a complete axiomatization of state, so we have to just pick some. So they picked a nontrivial one, the equation for runST.
Then he gave the wrong monad, which used ends to model stores, but I don't have a good feel for them. It validated masking, but not dereference. Then he gave a second monad which had too little structure, in that it modelled deref but not masking.
Then he gave a small type system for runST. It interpreted each region label in runST as a world (as above).
Lars Birkedal asked about which equations he was interested in, and Ohad named some of them. Daan Leijen said he had done an operational proof of runST and didn't like, and encouraged Ohad to keep going.

New York: Barnes & Noble Inc. said Monday that William Lynch has stepped down as CEO, effective immediately, just weeks after the book retailer announced weak sales, big losses and the declining popularity of its Nook e-readers.
Lynch's resignation comes after just three years in the role. No successor was named, but the New York-based company said that it is reviewing its strategic plan and will provide an update "when appropriate." Shares fell nearly 5 percent in after-hours trading on the news.
In the wake of his departure, Chief Financial Officer Michael Huseby will become president of the company and CEO of its Nook Media unit. Controller Allen Lindstrom will succeed Huseby as CFO. Huseby and Mitchell Klipper, CEO of Barnes & Noble Retail Group, will report directly to Leonard Riggio, the company's chairman and largest shareholder with a nearly 30 percent stake.
Riggio declined an interview through a company spokeswoman.
The news didn't surprise some analysts.
"The board lost confidence in Lynch. Investors lost confidence," Belus Capital Markets analyst Brian Sozzi said Monday. He said that Lynch didn't have a definitive plan at the last earnings call, after Barnes & Noble posted a larger quarterly loss and said sales plunged in the three months ended April 30. Revenue at stores open at least a year dropped 8.8 percent and overall retail sales, which include Barnes & Noble bookstores and online sales, tumbled 10 percent, in part because of store closings.
Moreover, the company announced that it would stop making its own Nook color touchscreen tablets because they failed to keep up with competitors.
Barnes & Noble has been struggling to find its place as more readers have shifted to electronic books and competition has grown from discount stores and online competitors. The company, which has 675 bookstores in 50 states and 686 college bookstores, has been trying to avoid the fate of its former rival Borders Group, which did not adapt to the growing threat of the Internet and e-books and went out of business in 2011.
So, Barnes & Noble had been pouring money into developing its Nook devices to keep up with changing reading habits and beat back competition from retailers such as Amazon.com Inc., which makes the popular Kindle readers, and Apple Inc.'s iPad.
The company hired Lynch from the home shopping network HSN Inc. as president of its online business in February 2009. There, he expanded the company's digital offerings and helped launch the Nook. Lynch, who had worked as an executive at Palm Inc., became CEO of Barnes & Noble in March 2010.
Last month, the company said it was going to continue to make its more basic, black-and-white e-readers, but will farm out the tablet manufacturing to a third-party. Lynch hadn't offered specifics of how a tablet partnership would work, but said at the time that the company was in discussions with "a lot of interested parties." Some speculated that Microsoft Corp., which has a 6.8 percent stake in the Nook unit, could offer to buy it outright.
The bad results troubled investors, who sent the shares down sharply. The stock had recovered a bit since then, closing Monday at $17.66.

Before looking at Acts 17, it is important to understand the origin of religion; in order to know the meaning of anything, we have to understand its origin.
The words in the space of six days came from John Calvin's comments on Genesis. But was Calvin unclear about the length of the days of creation?
The Bible has a lot to say about work and our attitudes toward it. Here are five points to consider.
The question we have to ask is this: does Romans 5:12 teach that we are guilty sinners in Adam and that physical death came about through him?
The chapter "Science and Scripture" in The Enduring Authority of Christian Scriptures, edited by D. A. Carson, undermines the very purpose of the book.
Adam's disobedience toward God brought about several significant changes that affect not only each and every one of us but also creation.
Aspects of Jesus' humanity are often overlooked, but it is important to understand why Jesus took on flesh and dwelt among us (John 1:14).
The Apostle Peter understood Genesis to refer to a supernatural creation and global Flood which he used to counter the arguments of the scoffers in his time.
When we read Genesis 1 in its context, it should be understood as a historical account which teaches that God created everything in six 24-hour days.
In order to combat the erroneous teaching that was infiltrating the church in Colossae, Paul reminded them of the supremacy of Jesus Christ.
The issue is not whether a person can be a Christian and believe in evolution but what one has to concede theologically in order to hold to their belief.
What Christians face today is a choice between earning the respect of the world by accepting evolution, or being faithful to Scripture.
It does not seem Dr. Ben Witherington has ever seriously taken the time to interact with material that answers his objections concerning biblical creation.

Grain and oilseed prices that have already fallen sharply in recent months are heading lower still over the upcoming decade, according to USDA's long-term projections released Feb. 13.
For corn, the department's econometric model points to a $4.50/bu. average farm price for the current marketing year, but below $4 for 2014 to 2025. USDA is calling for $3.65 for 2014/15, the decade low of $3.30 for 2015/16 and range from $3.35 to $3.95 from 2016 to 2021. In 2022 and 2023, USDA sees prices inching back above $4, but barely: $4.10 and $4.20.
Moving to soybeans, USDA is calling for average farm prices of $12.15/bu. for 2013/14, but then a period of sharp declines: $9.75/bu. for 2014/15; $8.85 for 2015/16 and $8.90 during 2016/17. From then to 2022/23, prices are forecast at $9.05/bu. to $9.95. Only at the end of the forecast period, 2023/24, do prices climb back into double-digit territory at $10.15/bu.
USDA also sees sharp price declines for wheat. After farm prices of $7/bu. this marketing year, prices drop to $4.90 in 2014/15; $4.35 in 2015/16; and the decade low of $4.30 the following year. For 2017/18 to 2023/24, USDA forecasts wheat prices between $4.45 and $5.35.
USDA sees corn yields increasing gradually from 165.6 bu./acre in 2014/15 to 183.6 by 2023/24. Less of a yield bump is anticipated for soybeans and wheat. Soybean yields are forecast at 45.2 bu./a this year and range between 45.6 bu./a and 49.2 from then to 2023/24. Wheat is more yield-bound, with yields of 45.8 bu./a this year and gradually increasing to 49.3 bu./a by the end of the forecast period. "The growth rate for world-average crop yields has been slowing for nearly two decades, and is projected to slow further in the next 10 years," USDA says.
Not surprisingly, these prices will cause acreage shifts. While USDA economists see little change in soybean acreage over the period at about 78 million, both corn and wheat acres are forecast to decline. Corn will drop from 95.3 million planted acres in 2013 to 93.5 million this year, 91 million in 2015 and continue dropping in a range between 88 million and 88 million and 88.5 million from 2017 to the end of the forecast period. Wheat acres will be slightly higher this year than 2013/14 at 57 million, then decline gradually to 52 million from 2017/18 to 2023/24.
If one word sums up the reason for the sober price outlook for grains and oilseeds it's this: competition. Even though U.S. exports increase, the export share of global trade decreases for soybeans and wheat and increases only modestly for corn. Related and equally important, world production of agricultural products is projected to increase more rapidly than world population as the global birth rate declines, sharply in developing countries.
China's population growth rate slows from 1% per year in 1991/2000 to less than 0.4% in 2013/23, while India is projected to decline from 1.8% to 1.2%. However, as incomes rise, per capita consumption increases.
On corn demand, China's corn imports are projected to rise steadily and reach 22 million tons by 2023/24. The increase in China's imports accounts for nearly half of the projected rise in world corn trade. While U.S. exports increase to 57 million tons, the U.S. share of world corn exports only rises to 40%, well below the 71% share from 1970-2000. Reasons why include strong trade competition from Argentina, Brazil and the Former Soviet Union (FSU) as well as the use of corn for ethanol.
FSU corn exports, mostly from Ukraine, are forecast to rise by 38% to nearly 26 million tons. Brazil's corn exports have doubled in recent years, but its corn exports are constrained by high transport costs. During the latter part of the projection period, Brazil's corn exports are projected to increase in response to improved export infrastructure and increasing world prices.
U.S. wheat exports are projected in the 28 million to 30 million ton range during the decade, but market share declines. Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan wheat exports are forecast to increase by 50%, however. On soybeans, Brazil's share of exports increases to more than 36%, while the U.S., a strong No. 2 soybean exporter, sees its share of global exports of soybeans and soybean products decline from 29% to 25%.
Globally, the total area planted to grains, oilseeds and cotton is projected to expand an average of 0.5% per year. Area expands more rapidly than that in countries with a reserve of available land and policies that allow farmers to respond to prices, USDA says.
Such countries include Russia, Ukraine, Brazil, Argentina, some other countries in South America, and some countries in sub-Saharan Africa. The largest projected increases in the area planted to field crops are in the FSU and Sub-Saharan Africa.
The silver lining to the department's bearish price outlook is per capita consumption increases by developing nations. As has been true in recent years, China will continue to boost imports of grains oilseeds and cotton, by 61% over the forecast period. But the global demand story is more than China alone. The combined region of Africa and the Middle East is projected to have some of the strongest growth in food demand and agricultural trade over the coming decade.
The region's share in world imports is projected to be 17% for coarse grains and 50% for wheat. Another large growth market: Mexico, both livestock as well as corn. For corn, Mexico is second only to China in projected import growth over the next 10 years.

J'aime beaucoup la seconde photo, cette femme a beaucoup de style, elle ajoute une touche féminine et chic à une tenue un peu masculine.
Mafalda ❤
Love the first look! So stylish!
cool girls for a cool show! :)
Love the leather shorts
Xoxo! Cory
Me too! Love leather….
Kisses from
Really liking the denim here. Clean blue look
I like 1. outfit. Great day.
Beautiful and stylish girls. Would have loved to see the Marant show too.
xx Mira
Fab shots, you're amazing!
Lovely array of looks from Paris .
Love the baby blue skater skirt.
Love, When You Dream Big x
OMG I've got the same shoes !
I live in the Preen sweatshirt from outfit 2!
Love the coats!
Great the inner gold bottom of the light blue coat in the second picture!
You always capture amazing details!!!
Pic # 3 Great photo….great legs!
Isabel Marant, who? As long as my book is interesting :-) Love her 'absence' from the world around.
She's reading Patti Smith's "Just Kids." No wonder she's absorbed in it!
Just Kids! <3
Your photos are so gorgeous! And beautiful style!
1) I'm usually not a fan of drapey top over drapey bottom in terms of proportion and I'm still not sure I like it here. I love the top for sure – interesting design – but I think I'd prefer it over a tight pencil skirt or cigarette pants or something. The skirt is also dangerously short, which I do realize is the point. Awesome shoes.
2) Same here – everything is drapey and while I appreciate what she's doing here, it looks a bit sloppy. If either the top were fitter, OR the jeans were skinny – it'd be perfect.
3) I really love this sly shot. She's lurking, without meaning to. You captured a lot of verticality in this shot. Her outfit is incredibly sexy. Normally seeing folks checking their phone is commonplace, but there's an allure here because of her outfit, and because you caught her unawares.
4) I love a bold lip against navy. I wish the shoes were purple or yellow or green or grey or red … anything but black.
Isabel Marant girls, for sure!
Love every style maybe not the second one though
Wow!! Great looks! I adore the second photo. The oversized pastel blue coat with distressed jeans and golden heels.. it's a formidable outfit!
Love bleu coat!
so cool!
1st picture and 2nd were obviously not taken in the same Paris !
I believe I live in the Paris of your last picture : sunny but à bit chilly….
*TM (Ayelee)*
the hint of heels in the first and second photo!
kw ladies in navy
Does anyone know info on the blue coat with the golden interior?
Her name is Natalie and she has a blog: Natalie Hartley Wears. I think her coat has featured on it.
The third picture is such a cool shot. The black leather shorts are amazing
Love the first one and the last one … car typiquement frenchy !

Lovely photos!
So wonderful to see someone reading book instead of using phone. Lovely pictures!
Love the last shot.
Not feeling the look of the second photo, of the baggy ripped jeans and sweatshirt. Maybe, if she wore skinnier jeans, it would look better and more polished.
Absolutely love the baggy ripped jeans and sweatshirt. Believe it is a big trend right now.
I like the first look. Great flare silhouette!
Ok, I want leather shorts (1st pic).
Love the second photo! The blue coat with the gold embellishment on the bottom inside is gorgeous!
I love the second photo of the blue coat! I am especially obsessed with the gold liner at the inside and bottom of it! Gorgeous!
The girl was reading Just Kids by Patti Smith…
The girl was reading Just Kids,by Patti Smith…
In the third photo, this girl must thinks people should leave her alone, cause she seams to try to hide behind the wall …
"Oh, leave me alone for Christ safe!…"
Thanks Scott for this picture and all for the nice style-related comments!

Bus running on soybean biodiesel. Photo: U.S. Department of Energy.
Diesel is the fuel for many vehicles. Diesel engines are a type of internal combustion engine in which heat caused by air compression ignites the fuel. At the instant fuel is injected into a diesel engine's combustion chambers, the air inside is hot enough to ignite the fuel on contact. Diesel engines therefore do not need spark plugs, which are required to ignite the air-fuel mixture in gasoline engines. Diesel engines burn a petroleum product similar to kerosene, jet fuel, and home heating oil. A major disadvantage of the diesel engine is the production of sooty, smelly, black smoke.
The many advantages of biodiesel fuel
With gas prices soaring and our fossil fuel supply diminishing, most people would agree that we need to find a cheaper way to fuel our economy. Biodiesel can be a viable alternative to petroleum diesel fuel because it is:
- made from renewable oils
- biodegradable
- free of sulfur and aromatics
- cleaner for the environment
In the past decade, biodiesel has been gaining worldwide popularity as an alternative energy source because of its many benefits.
- Biodiesel is made from renewable fats and oils, such as vegetable and canola oil, by a simple refining process.7
- One of the main commodity sources for biodiesel is soybeans, a major crop produced in many parts of the world. It is grown in 30 states in America, yielding 75.39 million metric tons in 2000.1
- The by-product glycerin can be used as well, in products such as toothpaste, cough syrup, and plastic.5
In addition to easily-available sources, biodiesel has other major advantages:
"It can be used in existing engines and fuel injection equipment without negative impacts to operating performance."2
It can replace or blend with petroleum diesel with little or no engine modifications.
Blended at a 20% rate with petroleum diesel, it has lower wear than traditional fuel and shows improved lubricity. In fact, it is the only alternative fuel "that can actually extend engine life because of its superior lubricating properties."2
Biodiesel stays blended with petroleum diesel, making it possible to store and dispense wherever diesel fuel is now stored or sold.2
It degrades about four times faster then petroleum diesel fuel.
Operationally, biodiesel has a higher flashpoint (the temperature at which diesel fuel ignites), making it a more versatile fuel than conventional diesel where safety is concerned. Due to lower volatility (tendency to vaporize) and a higher flashpoint, it is less likely to catch fire during an accident.9
According to university tests, biodiesel is a viable option for niche markets, such as urban bus fleets and the marine industry, including "recreational boats; inland commercial and ocean-going commercial ships; research vessels;"3 and coast guard fleets. For example, recreational boats consume 95 million gallons of diesel fuel annually9 and, overall, the marine industry accounts for 10% of the petroleum diesel fuel market in the United States.
Good for the environment
"Pure biodiesel is biodegradable, non-toxic, and essentially free of sulfur and aromatics."3 The use of biodiesel and biodiesel blends results in:
- a less offensive exhaust odor, which can be a real benefit in confined spaces or large urban areas
- no eye irritation, since biodiesel is oxygenated, resulting in engine combustion that is more complete than petroleum
- a reduction of pollutants, such as carbon dioxide, which in turn helps to prevent depletion of the ozone layer and acid rain
Conventional diesel causes a lot of pollution in the form of hydrocarbons (family of organic compounds composed entirely of carbon and hydrogen) and sulfur emissions (a problem with most fossil fuels).8 "There is strong environmental pressure to eliminate or at least greatly reduce these emissions, especially in areas of environmental sensitivity such as lakes and inland waterways and inner city areas."
- Emission of chemicals into the atmosphere depletes the ozone layer.
- The pH level of many freshwater lakes in America has been altered so dramatically by acid rain that entire fish populations have been destroyed.
- Sulfur dioxide emissions and sulfuric acid, even from long distances, can also damage limestone and marble.
By contrast, biodiesel reduces the major greenhouse gas components in the atmosphere, carbon monoxide, hazardous diesel particulate, and life cycle carbon dioxide emissions — all of which are damaging to the environment.2 Biodiesel's cleaner emissions and favorable odor are clearly an improvement over petroleum diesel.
Cost and performance
The cost of biodiesel depends on the market price for oils. Biodiesel blended at a 20% level with petroleum diesel costs 15-30 cents per gallon more than petroleum diesel alone. However, given the other advantages of biodiesel, it is a still an option to diesel, especially "in certain niche markets that require a cleaner-burning, biodegradable fuel."6 Costs could decrease if, for example, more agricultural land was used to grow and use crops for biodiesel ingredients.
More than 100 biodiesel demonstrations, including 1,000,000 mile tests and more than thirty 50,000 mile tests, have logged more than 30 million road miles with biodiesel blends. In these tests, performance, fuel mileage, drivability, start-up, power, range, and cold weather performance characteristics of blends were similar to petroleum diesel.10
Biodiesel still has some obstacles to overcome in addition to its high cost. "Because of its unsaturated fatty compounds, vegetable oil reacts with oxygen more easily than diesel does, and so its properties can change. Biodiesel can also leave more gummy deposits in engines than regular diesel does."4 However, it is a worthwhile investment for nations to help biodiesel research. Biodiesel may be one major solution to ensuring future fuel supplies that are environmentally friendly.

January 18 - Amy Carmichael, Missionary, Intricately Designed by God
Every night before she went to bed, little Amy Carmichael prayed ardently and enthusiastically for God to turn her brown eyes blue as she slept. Like many brown-eyed Irish girls in the 19th century, she adored the typical image of feminine Irish beauty that included blue eyes and white skin. So, she prayed fervently--prayed with a hope that it seems only children can muster--for God to change the part of her that seemed to be designed wrong. She desperately hoped for God's intervention--but it never came. Amy had brown eyes from the day she was born to the day she died. Regardless of how much she begged, God was not moved to effect a change in the design of Amy. However, Amy's faith was not weakened or lessened by God's refusal. Amy still trusted God even if she didn't receive everything she wanted.
As she grew older, she began teaching a Sunday morning class at a local church for a group of women who were in need of spiritual direction and guidance. This class eventually became a congregation called the Welcome Evangelical Church in Belfast, Ireland. She helped lead in and prepare for worship and people began to seek her out more and more frequently with the hope that her dependable and seemingly unrelenting faith might prove contagious. She continued there until she had the opportunity to hear Hudson Taylor preach about mission work in China. Though she suffered from various nerve conditions that ill fitted her for international mission work, she answered the call all the same.
After some preparatory time in Japan, she moved to southernmost India to serve as a Christian missionary among the people of the country. The missionaries she worked with did everything they could to fit into the culture of which they were becoming a part. Amy reflected once that she now understood why she had brown eyes--a blue-eyed missionary would have been an oddity that never could have truly fit in with the people--and was thankful that God had persisted in God's intricate and elegant design instead of catering to the wishes of a girl who had not yet met her calling. She even darkened her skin with coffee to further aid in her integration and assimilation into Indian culture. She did all of this, largely, for the children she ministered to in India.
It was not uncommon in India at the time for young girls to be given to the local Hindu temple. This saved the family of the girl money because they did not have to take care of the young one who was considered a drain on finances--unlike a son--and made money for the priests who often sold the young girls as prostitutes to help cover the expenses of the girl and the priest who controlled her. Amy couldn't bear to let this happen and so she devoted herself to rescuing these young girls and housing them in whatever way she could. Soon, she had founded the Dohnavur Fellowship and provided a safe haven for over one thousand children who might otherwise die or be forced into prostitution and/or slavery. Given her devotion to pursuing and rescuing the abandoned children of India, it was no surprise that Amy insisted: "One can give without loving, but one cannot love without giving."Amy gave much and loved much because she had been intricately and elegantly designed to share God's love with people who needed it desperately.
Amy died in 1951 due in part to complications from an earlier injury obtained in her pursuit of ministry. In accordance with her wishes, she was buried in India near the Dohnavur Fellowship without a gravestone.The children she had loved and cared for in India had to do something for the woman they loved and remembered. They put up a fountain for birds over her grave and inscribed the hindi word"Amma" upon it. This word perfectly condensed God's intricate design into one word: "mother."

uFly fires flight simulator who appeared on CNN
TORONTO—A Canadian flight simulator business fired an instructor who figured prominently in CNN's coverage of missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, saying he showed up late to his regular job and "shamed Canadians" by dressing like a teenager.
uFly company owner Claudio Teixeira said he fired Mitchell Casado on Wednesday in part for refusing to dress professionally and making Canadians "look very bad all over the world."
Casado's relaxed style of jeans and plaid shirts attracted wide attention during CNN's constant coverage of the search for the missing flight. CNN's Martin Savidge and Casado logged many hours reporting from the fake cockpit located at the company's office in near the Toronto airport, which has a simulator that is the same model of the lost plane.
Teixeira said Casado didn't come to work Tuesday when customers had the simulator booked. "This is not the first time. He's been warned before," he told The Associated Press.
Teixeira says he received many email complaints about the instructor's way of dressing during the time he appeared on CNN.
"Even though I let him be on TV he shamed us Canadians and shamed my company with the way he was dressing like he was 15 years old," he said. "People were complaining that it wasn't professional at all … If you go to any plane you don't see them in shorts and sandals."
Casado declined to comment when reached by AP, saying "I'm not interested in talking to you."
In a tweet earlier, Casado wrote "My boss had me training a new guy the last few days, and now that he can do my job, and CNN left, he fired me. That's Ufly."
CNN spokeswoman Bridget Leininger noted Casado is an employee of uFLY, not CNN. She said CNN will not broadcast from the simulator on Thursday but may do so in the future.
Savidge and Casado spent 12-to18-hour days in the cockpit, using the machine to simulate what might happen under certain scenarios. They logged so much airtime reporting from the fake cockpit that the hashtag #freemartinsavidge appeared on Twitter.
Although CNN has been criticized for its blanket coverage, its viewership rose 84 percent last month over what it had been before the plane went missing, the Nielsen company said.
When the cameras were off, Savidge took some informal flying lessons from Casado.
Teixeira called Casado a nice guy and wished him luck but said a change had to be made.
"I am the boss. I am the owner. I put in the money. It has to be my rules. If you don't agree with them you have to find another job," he said.
He said he gave Casado two-weeks pay.

A Scotsman is embarking on a special cycling challenge across the country to raise awareness of mental health and suicide prevention.
Josh Quigley, who is calling himself the Tartan Explorer, will start a cycling tour of 29 cities and towns on March 25.
Quigley, from Livingston, feels passionately about the cause having survived his own suicide attempt in May 2015.
Spurred on by the 'second chance' he has been given, he has decided to dedicate himself to helping others who suffer from mental health issues.
Mental health is a major health challenge in Scotland: one in three people are affected each year, with two people taking their own life every day across the country.
The Scottish arm of Quigley's cycle tour is a warm up to his World Cycle Challenge, which starts in May 2016 and will see Quigley bike through six continents of the world, taking in over 80 countries.
Talking about his cycle challenge, Quigley said: "I decided to embark on this bike tour as I really want to inspire those who suffer with mental health issues and show that it is possible to bounce back and achieve something amazing.
"I want to take my message all over Scotland, and then the world, to get nations speaking about mental health, uniting together to help save lives."
Quigley's Scottish Tour starts in his hometown of Livingston and will see him on the road for 33 days, hosting 10 mental health awareness events across Scotland and sharing his story, prior to finishing the tour at Edinburgh Castle on April 26, where there will be a homecoming celebration with friends, family and supporters on the castle's famous esplanade.
Since launching the movement in November 2015, Josh has made incredible progress; His video promoting the movement has been viewed almost 100,000 times. Through this and the positive media coverage he has received to date, Josh has had thousands of messages worldwide thanking him for his help and inspiration in their own mental health battles.

Sheila Downer and Tchicaya Robertson, both with Accenture, a global professional services company, are also authors. Downer, who is also a certified life coach, looked to help others by sharing how she overcame her difficult beginnings to succeed. She teamed up with Robertson, who has a research background. Together, they wrote their first book about the importance of passion and purpose in people's lives.
"Inspiration to me means realizing that your experiences can shape and mold the lives of others," Downer says.
Robertson adds, "We said we're going to write this book where we can really inspire not only each other, but other women to rise above the things that are holding them back."

SBC Communications has launched a promotion offering its DSL customers free WiFi through April, if they sign up for a full year of WiFi service. After April, WiFi access would run US$1.99 per month. The service is offered through its WiFi arm FreedomLink, which operates WiFi hotspots in McDonald's, Barnes and Noble, and UPS Stores. SBC FreedomLink subscribers would also be able to log on at Wayport sites through a partnership with SBC.
Pay WiFi access itself has been a tough sell for WiFi vendors. For one, T-Mobile has had a rough go of it at Starbucks since rolling out their HotSpot service at Starbucks locations. While some for-pay services are surviving, others are failing (such as Cometa, which was heavily funded by Intel). The ready availability of free access points has made fee-based services less attractive for those with a laptop and a yen to go online over a cup of coffee.
SBC has been faced with defections of their residential customers to faster cable ISPs for Internet service, and cellular companies as consumers increasingly decide that having both a landline and cell phone is unnecessary. In the second quarter alone, the communications company lost over 550,000 consumer lines to competitors.
SBC hopes that bundling low-cost WiFi services will give some of its current DSL customers second thoughts about leaving the fold for faster alternatives. The large number of Wayport and FreedomLink sites coupled with the low price may prove attractive enough to do the trick. Verizon's experience with a similar offer for Manhattanites has proven successful, although Verizon does not operate WiFi hotspots outside of that borough.
As broadband competition continues to heat up, expect to see incumbent DSL providers like SBC and Verizon to continue aggressive marketing efforts to retain current customers. With fiber to the premises and its phat bandwidth still a couple of years away for most of the US, the pressure will be on "slower" broadband providers to keep their current subscriber base from defecting until then.

Vegetable Tofu Stir Fry Recipes
Black Bean Tofu Recipe
This is a simple vegetarian recipe, but simple doesn't mean that it lacks flavor. I pan-fried thick slices of tofu until the outer layer was very crispy, then quickly sautéed it with fermented black beans and snow peas. The greens were still crisp and provided a great color to the dish.
If you're starting to think about the upcoming Asian New Year celebration (called Tết in Vietnamese), you might be looking for vegan recipes. Well, search no more! Tradition requires us to eat vegetarian food (ăn chay) on the last day of the previous year and first day of New Year and I will be sharing a few more Vietnamese vegetarian dishes with you until the celebration begins.

Vegetarian Stir Fry Recipe: Tofu with Beans and Carrots
I hadn't cooked tofu in a while and my husband Lulu asked for a vegetarian stir fry. I've wanted him to eat healthier, so I was happy to oblige. The base of the stir fry contains carrots, green beans and onions from Full Circle. To this, I added some kumquat jelly I made last winter (you could use any kind of sweetener you like) and a mixture of fresh garlic and red Thai bird chiles Lulu planted early this Spring. It's just the right combination of sweet and spicy, and I love that the recipe is flexible enough to make use of whatever you have on hand.
I've been enjoying my weekly box from Full Circle. It feels like Santa Claus is leaving me a present on my doorstep every week! And fittingly, our friend Kris from Full Circle is offering a number of free farm boxes, so PhamFatale readers can also experience Full Circle. This week, we're putting up 1 prize and there will be more to come throughout the year as well. To enter, first check on FullCircle.com to make sure there are deliveries available in your area (Shipping is included for all members in CA, WA, and ID, and Anchorage, AK. Outside of Anchorage, AK, there is a shipping fee, and prices vary depending on location.). If so, simply enter your email address and I'll select one winner next Monday. Good luck everyone!

Tofu Stir Fry Recipe
Catering to a large crowd of vegetarians in my house, I often find myself cooking a lot of lentils (or any legumes) and tofu dishes. I realized I haven't cooked any tofu in quite some time, so I made my quick and easy tofu stir fry this evening. I sautéed a bunch of vegetables (Brussels sprouts, straw mushrooms, zucchini and red bell peppers) that I had on hand and mixed them with the tofu.
My husband loves this dish and says he could eat the same thing every day. I usually serve it with brown rice and a bowl of canh (Vietnamese broth). It's a complete, flavorful meal, plus it's healthy! What else could you ask for?

Tofu Asparagus Stir Fry Recipe
This tofu dish usually accommodates everyone in my family; the tofu is fried, then sautéed along with vegetables (I cooked with asparagus and green beans today) in a mixture of black bean and chili garlic sauce.
The story behind this dish is funny. The dish is named after my father-in-law, Mir. Several years ago, he went to a Chinese restaurant for a dinner meeting and they serve this as an appetizer, similar to chips and salsa in a Mexican restaurant. It was much saltier and spicier than the recipe I make now. He liked it so much he asked the waiter to bring him a whole plateful so he could have it for dinner as a main course. And thus Mir's Special was born.

Vegetable Honey Tofu Stir-Fry Recipe
While in Paris, my mother taught me a new trick for enhancing the flavor of vegetarian meals. She uses honey to caramelize tofu, then deglazes the dish with Maggi (or soy sauce). My parents aren't vegetarian but my mother used to cook a lot of vegetarian dishes for my grandparents who were. My husband Lulu was pleased to eat at my mom's because he got to discover new tofu dishes using these techniques. For this particular recipe, Mom and I sautéed some broccoli and bok choy along with tofu. Delicious!
Since I had to find the best honey available for this dish, it gave me another excuse to explore more Parisian open air markets. I found this wonderful creamy honey from a beekeeper who had come from the south of France to sell his wares. He was very passionate about his products. Lulu and I sampled several kinds, which were all fabulous. We got an absolutely delicious education in honey and brought many jars back with us.

Some years ago in the 1960's Barney Bean (David William Harris) was a local Youngstown, Ohio television personality. He hosted a "Live" children's program where he played cartoons, interviewed children on set, had guest clowns, and did short fun sketches. Beans big draw was to use the initials of a child's name and draw a picture using them. He was quite the artist.
During one particular broadcast, Barney Bean and Co-host Ronald McDonald (Yes, the clown from McDonalds restaurant) were interviewing the group of children invited on the program that day. The children were sitting on bleacher risers and both Barney and Ronald would interact with the children asking them questions on camera so parents and friends could see them on television. The questions were simple ones to not make the children nervous. The questions were, What is your name, What sports do you like, Where do you live, and Do you have any funny jokes to tell. Most of the children did well and answered the questions correctly.
As Ronald got around to the middle of the second row, he asked one young man who looked about 8-9 years old if he knew any funny jokes. The boy looked up and said, "I sure do!" "Why are girls and frying pans alike?" Ronald looked into the camera and said, "Well, I don't know. Why?" The boy replied, "Cause you have to get em both hot before you put the meat in!"
Ronald was stunned, and for a moment, stood silently looking into the camera. He then regained his composure and said to the boy, "Now that wasn't a very nice joke." Seconds later, the little boy, not missing a beat looked up at Ronald and said in a raised voice,
True story.

The primary impetus for the lawsuit came last June, when Secretary Napolitano issued a memo offering deferred action and employment authorization to illegal aliens under age 31 who meet certain criteria similar to those outlined in the DREAM Act, which has failed to pass Congress on three occasions.
Federal Judge Reed O'Conner ruled on Friday that 10 ICE agents and officers indeed do have standing to challenge in Federal court the so-called Morton Memo on prosecutorial discretion and the DREAM directive on deferred action.
The agents filed their complaint in October, charging that unconstitutional and illegal directives from DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano and ICE Director John Morton order the agents to violate federal laws or face adverse employment actions. This is a major first step for the ICE agents in their case against the administration!
In his 35-page decision, Judge O'Conner found that the ICE agents and officers have standing, but that the State of Mississippi does not. He has not yet ruled, however, on the agents' motion for a preliminary injunction to halt implementation of the DHS directives.
In his 35-page decision, Judge O'Conner found that the ICE agents and officers have standing, but that the State of Mississippi does not. He has not yet ruled, however, on the agents' motion for a preliminary injunction to halt implementation of the DHS directives.
The primary impetus for the lawsuit came last June, when Secretary Napolitano issued a memo offering deferred action and employment authorization to illegal aliens under age 31 who meet certain criteria similar to those outlined in the DREAM Act, which has failed to pass Congress on three occasions.
Even before that, though, ICE Director John Morton essentially gutted immigration enforcement by issuing a memo on prosecutorial discretion that, in effect, prohibits ICE agents and officers from arresting or removing any but the most violent criminal aliens. Under Morton's stated policy, most of the 12 million or so illegal aliens that the administration wants to legalize are currently safe from deportation.
This is just one of the reasons that the National Immigration and Customs Enforcement Council voted unanimously that they have no confidence in Morton's ability to lead the agency. Aside from ordering ICE agents to not enforce federal immigration laws, Morton has also gutted worksite enforcement and the 287(g) program, which is a cooperative effort between local law enforcement and federal immigration agents.
The 10 Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents filed a federal lawsuit against the Obama administration seeking an end of President Barack Obama's new non-deportation policy derided as Obama's Dream Act Light by opponents of his illegal immigration policies, according to the ICE agents' union.
The ICE agents filed the lawsuit in federal court in one of the state's most affected by the Obama policy — Texas. The agents allege that President Obama's policies have reduced the number of illegal aliens who will be deported back to their country of origin.
The ICE agents allege in their lawsuit that the Obama executive order causes a confusing situation in which they must choose between enforcing federal laws and being disciplined by their commanders, or obeying their supervisors thereby violating oaths of office and a Clinton administration law — passed by a bi-partisan Congress in 1996 — that mandates the deportation of illegal aliens.
Kris W. Kobach, the secretary of state in Kansas, is representing the ICE agents in their lawsuit. Kobach has been a leading voice in support of state immigration legislation such as Arizona's controversial law.
In the 20-page legal complaint, the agents state they've been ordered to ignore an entire category of illegal aliens. The agents allege they were told to stop requesting proof of citizenship or immigration status.
"Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano and her underlings want their agents and officers to just take the word of an illegal alien without verifying his or her statement," said former police commander David Scher. "It's as ridiculous as releasing a suspected bank robber who states he didn't commit the robbery without any verification by police officers," he said.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement special agent Christopher Crane, President of the National Immigration and Customs Enforcement Council, the union representing America's more than 7,000 ICE agents and personnel, and Border Patrol agent George McCubbin, President of the National Border Patrol Council, the union representing America's more than 17,000 border agents and personnel, both blasted President Barack Obama's de facto "Dream Act," and the actions of superiors at their respective agencies.
"The Administration claims it has diligently enforced immigration law and that the border is 'more secure than ever.' But those on the front lines know this to be untrue. They see the violence, chaos and lawlessness. They have lost confidence in the leadership of their agencies," according to the outspoken Agent Crane.
"This administration has engaged in a sustained, relentless effort to undermine America's immigration laws. They have handcuffed and muffled those charged with protecting the public safety and the integrity of our borders. Such action has not only weakened our security but our democracy, as well," he stated.
"All Americans, immigrant and native born, will have a better future if our nation remains unique in the world for the special reverence it places on the rule of law and fairness in our immigration system," Crane stated.
"It's impossible to understand the full scope of the administration's changes, but what we are seeing… concerns us greatly," Crane said.

The Hays Larks turned a hot start into a Jayhawk League win Friday night in the first of a three-game set with the Derby Twins at Larks Park.
Hays scored six runs through two innings (five in the first) and defeated the Twins 9-3 behind seven solid innings from left-hander Chandler Hawkins.
The game was called with two outs in the bottom of the eighth inning when rain and lightning moved into the area.
The win pushed the Larks to 28-10 overall and 20-9 in league play. Derby fell to 15-19, 12-18.
In the five-run first inning, the Larks started with three straight hits, capped by Aaron Cornell's two-RBI double, then Taylor Petersen had an RBI double and Zair Koeiman had an RBI triple. The final run in the inning came on an RBI double by Blair Beck. Hays scored a run in the second, then had two in the fifth on a two-run home run for Clayton Garland, his fourth of the season.
Hawkins pitched seven innings and scattered seven hits with seven strikeouts. He gave up a run in the fifth on a bases-loaded walk.
The other two runs came in the seventh on an RBI groundout and base hit. Hawkins improved to 5-2. Ian Bentley recorded two outs in the eight before the game was called.
The two teams meet again Saturday in the second game, part of Pack the Park Pink Night at Larks Park. Game time is 7 p.m. For more on Friday's game, see Sunday's Hays Daily News.

Disney Channel's A.N.T. Farm kicks off Black History Month this Friday at 8/7c with an episode that finds Chyna channeling three African-American music icons — and TVLine has a first look at the far-out half-hour.

In the episode "influANTces," Chyna (played by China Anne McClain) is struggling to write a song for her Black History Month presentation, so she locks herself in a recording booth until she comes up with an idea. When she then dozes off, she embarks on a dreamy time-trip, envisioning herself as Ella Fitzgerald, Aretha Franklin and Janet Jackson.
Coming out of the dream, Chyna churns out a version of the series' "Exceptional" theme song, weaving in lyrics that pay tribute to the great women who came before her.

Oct. 24, 2007 -- Provigil, a prescription stay-awake drug, is getting new warnings about the risk of life-threatening rash, other serious hypersensitivity reactions, and psychiatric symptoms.
Provigil is used to promote wakefulness in adults with conditions involving excessive sleepiness, including narcolepsy.
At least one person died of multi-organ failure shortly after starting Provigil, and there have been "rare" cases of serious or life-threatening rash in patients taking Provigil, states the drug's maker, Cephalon Inc.
The FDA and Cephalon advise patients to immediately stop Provigil and call a doctor if they have rash or other hypersensitivity reactions including:
Harmless rashes can also occur in patients taking Provigil. But it's "not possible to reliably predict which rashes will prove to be serious," so patients should stop Provigil at the first sign of rash, unless the rash is "clearly not drug-related," states Cephalon.
Psychiatric symptoms including anxiety, mania, hallucinations, and suicidal thinking have also been reported in patients taking Provigil.
Doctors should be cautious about giving Provigil to patients with a history of psychosis, depression, or mania, states Cephalon.
Cephalon recommends that doctors should consider stopping Provigil in patients who develop psychiatric symptoms.
