The biggest celebrity scandals of 2015
The end of the year is a time for reflection. So from divorces to doughnut-licking, let's reflect on 2015's biggest celebrity scandals.
Ariana Grande's affinity for doughnuts: The superstar was caught on camera apparently licking the fried dough and saying she hates America. She later apologized for slamming Uncle Sam.
The bad blood between Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift: After Minaj was snubbed for an MTV VMA video of the year nomination for "Anaconda," she posted this tweet saying, "If your video celebrates women with very slim bodies, you will be nominated for vid of the year."
T-Swift assumed the comment referenced her squad in "Bad Blood" and sparked a feud with Minaj. Even celebs like Bruno Mars, Ed Sheeran and Katy Perry — the rumored subject of the song — jumped in the ring.
Rosie O'Donnell's runaway daughter: In August, Chelsea went missing and was later found in New Jersey with a man she'd met on Tinder. Later that month, Chelsea turned 18 and decided to return to Wisconsin to live with her biological mother. Recently O'Donnell posted a cryptic poem, perhaps about missing her daughter.
Guliana Rancic's controversial Oscars comment: Longtime E! News and "Fashion Police" host Giuliana Rancic made a controversial comment about Zendaya's dreadlocks on the Oscars red carpet.
Rancic said: "She's such a tiny frame that this hair overwhelms her. Like, I feel like she smells like patchouli oil. Maybe weed." Zendaya fired back on Instagram, saying, "My wearing my hair in locs on an Oscar red carpet was to showcase them in a positive light, to remind people of color that our hair is good enough." She also called the comment "outrageously offensive."
Rancic later apologized on Twitter, saying the comment was taken out of context.
The end of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner: Affleck denied rumors that he was having an affair with the family nanny, Christine Ouzounian. Garner and Affleck were reportedly already separated when the affair was said to take place, but the two were still legally married.
Brooks Ayers' bizarre cancer story: The "Real Housewives of Orange County" star, who dated Vicki Gunvalson, announced he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. People started questioning the validity of that diagnosis when he couldn't produce documents to prove it.
Until he brought "medical records" to an exclusive E! News interview, claiming they came from the City of Hope hospital where he was treated. The documents later proved to be forged, but Ayers continues to maintain his diagnosis.
Lamar Odom's health scare: In October, the former NBA star was found unconscious at a legal brothel called the Love Ranch in Nevada. Odom had reportedly taken a mix of alcohol, cocaine and herbal sexual enhancement pills.
But another shocker: Presumed ex-wife Khloe Kardashian was actually still married to Odom. The judge never signed the divorce papers filed by the couple — rendering them legally married and giving Khloe power over his medical decisions. He has since been transferred to an LA hospital, where he continues to recover.
The Josh Duggar revelations: In May, InTouch published an article claiming the eldest Duggar son sexually abused minors when he was a teen. As details unfolded that the abused minors included some of his younger siblings, "19 Kids and Counting" reruns were pulled from TLC.
Then — the explosive Fox News interview with patriarch Jim Bob Duggar and wife Michelle, who confirmed that four daughters, including Jill and Jessa, were victims.
The spotlight seemed to back off once TLC permanently canceled the show. That is until Gawker claimed Josh was a member of adultery site Ashley Madison. He entered rehab shortly after.
The mystery surrounding Bobbi Kristina Brown's death: Like her late mother, Whitney Houston, Bobbi Kristina was found unconscious in a bathtub in January. She was placed in a medically induced coma on a ventilator, at which point rumors began about her medical state and how she became unconscious in the first place.
Fingers pointed at rumored husband Nick Gordon, who checked into rehab as a result of the trauma. A lawsuit filed against him in June alleged assault, battery, intentionally inflicting emotional distress and taking money from Bobbi Kristina's account without permission.
Bobbi Kristina remained on life support until she was transferred to hospice in June. She died July 26.
Bill Cosby's shocking rape accusations: Women first came forward saying the comedian had drugged and sexually assaulted them.
This year, we've seen the number of women who've gone public with their stories reach more than 50. Cosby has a number of defamation and civil suits filed against him, but in December, he filed a countersuit against seven of his accusers.
In the suit, his lawyer says, "Mr. Cosby states plainly that he neither drugged nor sexually assaulted the defendants." Cosby has never been criminally charged or found "liable by any Court for any sexual misconduct."

TraceTek TT5000 Fuel Sensing Cable
Detailed description
TraceTek TT5000
The TraceTek TT5000 is a fuel sensing cable that can detect and locate spills of gasoline, jet fuel, diesel, crude oil and similar hydrocarbon liquids. It will not detect or react to water. The cable is available in outdoor (above ground), underground and indoor versions.
Distributed sensing
TT5000 sensing cable provides distributed leak detection and location for a wide range of applications. The cable is available in a variety of lengths to provide as much coverage as needed.
Design flexibility
TT5000 sensing cable can be purchased in bulk form, cut to length in the field and joined using connector kits, or it can be obtained in standard lengths with connectors attached in the factory. These modular sensing cables may be connected in series to provide distributed monitoring for trenches, subfloors, and double-containment piping, or used individually for double-containment tanks, sumps, and small areas.
TT5000 zone sensing cable—which comes with a factoryinstalled, heat-shrink end termination—is also available for small area coverage.
Advanced technology
TraceTek uses radiation-crosslinking and conductivepolymer technology to make TT5000 sensing cable mechanically strong and chemically resistant. The core of the cable is constructed of two sensing wires, an alarm signal wire, and a continuity wire. The core is encased in a conductive-polymer jacket and surrounded with a fluoropolymer braid. This rugged construction allows the cable to perform reliably in the most demanding environments.

ThunderRoad Financial launched a "major upgrade" to its loan origination system last week, in an effort to grow its dealer base, Founder and Chief Executive Donal Hummer Jr. told Powersports Finance.
The system upgrade — TCI's DecisionLender 4 — will allow a "host of enhancements specifically targeting the dealer interface and portal," Hummer said.
Some of the enhancements include: quicker decisioning, real-time chat with the dealers, e-signature, simplified loan structure modifications, and real-time NADA bike valuations, Hummer said. Also included are online video tutorials and web-based training, improved integration with backend products, and comprehensive dealer and financial analytics, he added.
"We are making this investment so that we can continue to provide, and exceed, the level of service the dealers expect," Hummer said. "At the end of the day, we are providing a service to the dealers as they are our primary customers. For us to succeed, we need to continuously improve our processes to retain our current dealers and to grow our dealer base."
As a powersports finance institution, "you are either driving forward and constantly striving to improve your processes and the relationship with your dealers, or you are just rolling backwards," he said.
To that end, ThunderRoad Financial needs three things in an effort to improve its dealer relationships: "No. 1: Have a competitive program that offers prudent and consistent financing across all credit tiers; No. 2: Flexibility to buy all makes and models that the dealer sells, whether new or used; and No. 3: A very robust and efficient origination portal that allows dealers to easily and quickly get their deals approved and contracted," Hummer said.
Many consumers today are doing business differently, TCI President Bill Nass told Powersports Finance in February. "With the power of the internet and a lot of products out in the marketplace, many of our lenders can enable dealers to have the credit application online, which can enable the consumer to apply, get pre-approved, and walk into dealership knowing they have already qualified for the loan. The dealer is notified and they can generate the documents on the spot."

South Korea-U.S. Defense Talks
South Korean Defense Minister Jeong Kyung-doo held a meeting with acting U.S. Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan in Seoul on June 3rd to discuss major bilateral issues, including cooperation for security conditions on the Korean Peninsula, their combined military drills in the second half of the year and the transfer of wartime operational control. Here's Yang Wook, senior researcher at the Korea Defense and Security Forum, to give his analysis about the recent defense ministers' talks.
During their talks, the South Korean and American defense chiefs discussed a wide range of alliance issues. The discussion topics included the reduced or suspended combined military drills between the two allies as well as the schedule and conditions for an envisioned transfer of wartime operational control from the U.S. to South Korea.
Monday's meeting between Jeong and Shanahan was the second one following their first in Washington in April, and it was Shanahan's first visit to South Korea since taking the post of acting defense chief. Shanahan's visit came on the heels of his attendance at a regional security forum in Singapore.
The agreement reached between the two defense officials during the Seoul meeting included the relocation of the headquarters of the South Korea-U.S. Combined Forces Command, now in Seoul, to the U.S. Forces Korea's Camp Humphreys base in Pyeongtaek.
Initially, South Korea and the U.S. agreed to move the Combined Forces Command or CFC to the compound of the Korean Ministry of National Defense in Yongsan, Seoul. Under the request of the U.S., however, they finally agreed that the CFC, a large-scale organization, would move to the American base in Pyeongtaek to make the most of the facilities there.
Some doubt that the CFC positioned within the U.S. base will function effectively, especially in regards to Seoul's preparations to take over wartime operational control or OPCON of its armed forces. But basically, the CFC is equally shared by the two allies, and I don't think the relocation move is in discord with the true nature of the bilateral alliance.
When South Korea and the U.S. first agreed on the Yongsan Relocation Plan back in 2004, the CFC was set to move to Pyeongtaek. But the two sides agreed in 2014 to postpone the transfer of wartime OPCON indefinitely, and the CFC remained in Seoul. As the Moon Jae-in government pushed for the transfer again in 2017, Seoul and Washington agreed to relocate the CFC to the nearby Korean Defense Ministry compound for smooth communication between the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the CFC. Now that the two sides have agreed to move the command outside of Seoul to Pyeongtaek, there are concerns that it might be difficult for both sides to maintain close communication and cooperation.
Apparently with these concerns in mind, the Defense Ministry in Seoul said that the two countries decided on the relocation plan in consideration of four factors including operational efficiency, time and cost. The ministry added that the militaries of the two allies would closely cooperate for plan's smooth implementation.
In another agreement, a Korean four-star general, not the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in Seoul, will separately head a new Korea-U.S. joint military command once wartime control transfer is completed.
If the CFC was allowed to be operated inside the compound of the Defense Ministry, the future CFC would not need a separate commander. But the decision to name a Korean four-star general to lead the CFC shows the two allies respect the structure of the CFC and their alliance.
Currently, a U.S. general heads the CFC and follows instructions of both the South Korean and the U.S. chairmen of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. If the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman leads the envisioned CFC to take a dual role, he will have to assume a lower post as well, which is rather unusual. Therefore, appointing a separate commander could be more appropriate.
It is considered unusual for the U.S. military to name a military official of its ally as the head of the Combined Forces Command. The two countries plan to hold the first test of Korea's readiness to take over wartime command through a new joint exercise led by the Korean military in the second half of this year. The exercise will replace their summertime Freedom Guardian exercise as part of efforts to support peace efforts involving North Korea.
If and when the two military authorities successfully verify the South Korean military's capability to lead a combined defense, Seoul could regain wartime OPCON of its troops from the U.S. earlier than expected.
South Korea and the U.S. agreed in 2014 that the transfer would be made when conditions are right. The conditions are South Korea's key military capabilities necessary to lead the combined defense, early and essential readiness against North Korea's nuclear and missile threats and a favorable security environment around the peninsula for a stable handover of wartime OPCON.
To fully meet the conditions, South Korea may need a considerable amount of time. But placing the CFC inside the American base and therefore using the facilities there may contribute to reducing the time needed for the transfer of wartime OPCON.
In 2014, South Korea and the U.S. agreed on the transfer of wartime OPCON when those conditions are met. The operational command system reflects the unique realities of the Korean War and national division, and there have been growing calls within South Korea for a quick handover of wartime OPCON in light of military sovereignty.
The South Korean government has tried hard to satisfy the necessary conditions to take back wartime OPCON by increasing the defense budget considerably. The defense chiefs of Seoul and Washington have also shared the view that significant progress is being made to fulfill the conditions for Seoul to assume wartime command. Moreover, the decision to relocate the Combined Forces Command is expected to accelerate the process of the wartime OPCON transition.
The key is whether the South Korean military can actually perform command and control properly in time of war and judge the situation accurately. This is not just a matter of facilities but a matter of whether the nation secures an effective command and control system as well as an efficient decision-making system. The transfer might be possible before President Moon's term ends, depending on South Korea's efforts. The remaining task is to fully meet the conditions for the transition and verify it.
If South Korea's wartime operational capabilities are verified successfully, experts speculate that the nation could take back wartime OPCON from the U.S. in 2022, the final year of Moon's term. The defense ministers' meeting between the two countries earlier this week seemed to serve as an important test of the operational system between the allies.

What is a green daycare, anyway? A hay bale structure in which youngsters learn to compost and recycle? Sounds nice!
I know when we began looking for someone to take care of our baby when she was eight months old, I was most concerned with two things: cloth diapers and breast milk. Would our future provider be okay with changing cloth diapers and leaving the wet ones for us in a bag to take home? (Joy just wrote about this!) Would she be willing to thaw out my expressed breast milk and bottle-feed it to my daughter?
We ended up finding someone who did both of those things, and we didn't need to find a special "eco-friendly" daycare to do it. Our daycare provider operates inside her own home, where she watches three or four kids at a time. She had never had a child in cloth diapers before, but she was happy to try them out. In fact, she was happy to have less trash to deal with (and pay for).
What are/were your eco-concerns when looking for a daycare for your child? How did you end up addressing those concerns—and are you happy with your choices?
We discuss this in more detail in our book, the Eco-nomical Baby Guide!

Transfer pricing and formulary apportionment
Article Abstract:
The formulary apportionment methods proposed as alternatives to the arms' length transaction methods currently approved under transfer pricing regulations would not be any more efficient or effective at curbing abuses. The formulary methods proposed tend to divide an international taxpayer's aggregate income based on a formula. One proposal is to apply the formula used by US states to apportion income. The effects of apportionment on revenues and administrative costs have not been assessed, but it is clear that formulary approaches provide less flexibility than accepted methods.

Taxing cross-border combinations: nationalistic rules in a global economy
Article Abstract:
Cross-border combinations with legitimate business purposes between US companies and foreign companies have been substantially limited by US and foreign tax policies. US Treasury Dept Notice 94-46 and regulations under IRC section 367(a) virtually force the US holding company form on cross-border combinations in order to receive tax-free treatment. These limitations are mirrored in other countries such as Canada, Germany, France, and the UK. The Treasury Dept should work to eliminate the discriminatory limitations domestically and internationally.

Habitual drink driver charged and refused bail
ONE of the worst drink drivers in NSW has been charged over another serious crash at Coffs Harbour.
Disqualified driver Eric Simbomana is accused of smashing into a parked car at Meadow St in the early hours of this morning.
The 24-year-old (pictured) made headlines last year when he blew seven times over the legal limit after crashing into two cars on Ocean Pde.
On that occasion, he was so drunk he was seen urinating on the street and had to be detained by witnesses before police arrived.
Despite being stripped of his licence until at least 2016, Mr Simbomana was allegedly back behind the wheel last night.
Witnesses reported Mr Simbomana wasn't wearing a seatbelt when he crashed into the car, and hit his windscreen headfirst.
Mr Simbomana was taken to Coffs Harbour hospital where he was treated for a head injury and released this afternoon.
He appeared before the Coffs Harbour Local Court later in the day and has been refused bail.
A further charge is expected pending a blood analysis.
He will be back on court on January 28.

Bosnian news outlet Reprezentacija says that manager Safet Susic and his coaching staff went for a walk near their base in Guaruja, Sao Paulo when three armed robbers on bicycles started following them.
The report claims that the robbers followed the Bosnians for "several hundred metres" before being driving away by local police sirens "at the last moment."
All the robbers fled in different directions and no arrests were made.
The coaching staff were believed to have taken the whole incident in good humour when they returned to the hotel, saying that they had seen much worse on the streets of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
All World Cup teams have been offered constant protection from both the Brazilian police and army but it is believed the Bosnian staff did not inform either of their plans to go for a walk along the beach which led to the situation.
Bosnia – playing in their first World Cup – open their campaign against Argentina in Rio on Sunday night.

My Blog__ TEEN MOM ARREST
Debra Danielsen, mother of Farrah Abraham who stars in MTV's reality series Teen Mom, was arrested yesterday for domestic assault. According to the Omaha World Herald, Danielsen was standing three feet from Farrah holding two knives and screaming when the police entered their Iowa home. Danielsen refused to comply with police orders to drop the knives and the officers drew their guns on her. Reports state that Farrah and her mother had been fighting over childcare issues and other "problems". When the fight heated, Danielsen threw an MTV shirt at Farrah - I wonder what they were fighting about? - and it landed near the baby, causing her to cry. Farrah reports that her mother grabbed her by the throat and hit her. Danielsen was scheduled to appear in court today and has been issued a no-contact order due to the nature of her violent actions.
Watching Teen Mom makes it appear that Farrah and her mother have an unstable relationship. However, it is unfair to judge their home life based on the short, edited clips MTV provides. I don't know, but I have this hunch that publicly documenting the birth of Farrah's child and her endeavors into motherhood on one of the most highly viewed television stations of this century - where the camera presence disrupts human performance - did not help "problems" in the Danielsen-Abraham household. Just a hunch.
Teen Mom's finale episode airs next week on MTV at 10pm. I will be following up my original piece on Teen Mom with a special finale report.

London: London mayor Sadiq Khan on Tuesday demanded for more tax-raising powers. He called for the city to be given more autonomy to allow it to ride out the economic uncertainty unleashed by Britain's vote to leave the European Union (EU).
His statement comes after a petition to make the capital an independent city-state attracted 175,000 signatures.
Khan, from the opposition Labour Party was elected mayor of the capital last month. He said that he wants to protect the city's "jobs, wealth and prosperity," he added. "As much as I might like the idea of a London city state, I'm not seriously talking about independence today. I am not planning to install border points on the M25!."
"But on behalf of all Londoners, I am demanding more autonomy for the capital – right now. More autonomy in order to protect London's economy from the uncertainty ahead, to protect the businesses from around the world who trade here and to protect our jobs, wealth and prosperity."
Mr Khan said that people in the rest of the UK would benefit from more devolution for London "because when London succeeds, the rest of the country succeeds too. And when we fail, the entire nation fails."

NVIDIA's Road Ahead: Ion, Tegra and The Future of The Company
Why Tegra Matters, Conclusion
NVIDIA's ION platform will help siphon Atom-driven revenue into the company's coffers, but it leaves the GPU manufacturer entirely dependent on Intel's release calendar, pricing, and product delivery. ION is important, as it provides NVIDIA with an ultra-low-power platform that's x86-compatible, but good feelings between the two Santa Clara-based companies are most likely at or near a historic low. Even a small slice of Atom's current revenue would make a meaningful difference on NVIDIA's balance sheet, and Intel doesn't exactly plan to limit the small processor's growth potential. Intel's oft-repeated goal is to push Atom from netbooks to MIDs to smartphones, pausing along the way to launch devices at every commercially viable size and speed. If NVIDIA can tap that growth with a mixture of x86 platforms (ION) and its own solutions (Tegra), the company could establish itself as a major player in a variety of new markets.
Tegra's design combines a proven, well-documented, low-power CPU architecture (ARM11 MPCore) with NVIDIA's own graphics technology. At present, Tegra is being floated as a solution for GPS units, automotive computing, smartbooks, and MIDs—and it'll power the upcoming Zune HD—but we can expect Team Green to continue to evolve Tegra's capabilities the same way Intel is evolving Atom's.
If NVIDIA can persuade more OEMs to design Tegra-based products and successfully overcome the device's inability to run x86 code, the long-term profit potential could be enormous. According to Intel's financial reports, Atom was responsible for $581 million in company revenue in the first two quarters of 2009. Even if we assume Atom merely repeated that performance in the second half of the year (i.e., no seasonal uptick), Intel's Atom-derived revenue for all of 2009 would be nearly $1.2 billion. That's small potatoes compared to Intel's net revenue of $37.6 billion in 2008, but it would be great performance for a product family that won't be even two years old by then. Keep in mind, actual Atom revenue for all of 2009 should be significantly higher.
Microsoft's Zune HD
CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture) doesn't appear to be supported on the first-generation of Tegra devices, but it's hard to imagine NVIDIA not including it (possibly in a limited way) on subsequent iterations of the platform if the first proves successful. NVIDIA has made a great deal of noise about CUDA as the future of GPU software development, and the ability to offload programs to the graphics processor could give NVIDIA its own secret sauce when competing against future iterations of Atom.
A quick word on CUDA. While it's often discussed as if it was a programming language, this is incorrect; NVIDIA defines the term as "a revolutionary parallel computing architecture that delivers the performance of NVIDIA's...graphics processor technology to general purpose GPU Computing." CUDA is best understood as a platform capable of running C code (with optional CUDA extensions), OpenCL, and Microsoft's DirectCompute. NVIDIA recently
Even a small slice of Atom's current revenue would make a meaningful difference on NVIDIA's balance sheet, and Intel doesn't exactly plan to limit the small processor's growth potential. Intel's oft-repeated goal is to push Atom from netbooks to MIDs to smartphones, pausing along the way to launch devices at every commercially viable size and speed. If NVIDIA can tap that growth with a mixture of x86 platforms (ION) and its own solutions (Tegra), the company could establish itself as a major player in a variety of new markets.
released a DirectCompute-compatible driver in anticipation of Windows 7's launch date, while Apple's upcoming Snow Leopard will use OpenCL to pass code to the GPU for execution.
There's no inherent reason why all three standards can't coexist the same way various CPU programming languages have shared space for decades. CUDA may be at a disadvantage, insomuch as it's currently limited to NVIDIA video cards, but that fact does not, in and of itself, doom CUDA. If NVIDIA can demonstrate benefits to using CUDA as opposed to DirectCompute or OpenCL, especially in the HPC market, it will remain a viable option. Even if CUDA is deprecated in the long run, deploying its own standard gave NVIDIA and its developer partners a significant headstart in developing programs that effectively utilize the GPU.
The last twenty-five years are littered with examples of companies who claimed Intel (and, by extension, the x86 architecture) couldn't possibly challenge the performance or scalability of their various processors or products. Faced with a future where integrated CPU / GPU hybrids chip away at its budget products and Larrabee challenges the midrange (at least), NVIDIA is pursuing the barely tapped market for smartbooks, UMPCs, MIDs, and next-generation smart phones. The company's lack of an x86 license could prove to be a disadvantage, but the market space Tegra is targeting is the only one where a non-x86 architecture actually has a chance of succeeding.
Wars aren't won by sitting at home and waiting for the enemy to come to you, especially when your foe has ten times your revenue and far-reaching connections. Graphics and GPU design will remain a critical part of the company's future—you don't pump two years into creating the concept of "visual computing" only to quit—but NVIDIA's decision to capitalize on the on the same market opportunities Intel is working to create in Atom's target market is, at the very least, strategically sound.

It never ceases to amaze me how many different diseases and illnesses have been conclusively linked to vitamin D deficiency.
It would not surprise me in the least if indeed another study at a later date established a link between this nutritional shortage and adult allergies. Just because science hasn't confirmed the relationship YET doesn't mean that it won't happen over due time.
The vitamin D renaissance only started a few short years ago, so we should be able to look forward to more research in the upcoming years confirming even more links between vitamin D deficiency and various illnesses.

The Market's Fine Print
Thin To Win?
Back in my salad days of reckless day-trading (as in aggressively tossed, chopped and shredded), I painfully labored under the idiotic assumption that extreme market volatility was the key to a young man's fortune. The only real problem in successfully mining CME chaos for the intrepid and nimble investor was lining up enough armored trucks to haul the non-stop stream of profits to the bank.
Fortunately, once my kindly broker paid off a boat and two motorcycles, he took me under his wing with more prudent instructions regarding technical analysis, options and general rules of risk management. While this valuable schooling never managed to park my balance sheet on "Easy Street," I remain eternally grateful at how it at least slowed the life-threatening loss of blood.
When I became DTN's livestock analyst several years later, terms of employment forbid speculation in commodity futures. Believe me, this restriction still stands, in my estimation, as an absolute jewel in the company's total benefit package.
But even though I haven't funded a trading account in decades, pearls of wisdom from that old broker somehow live on. For example, he had a good rule on how to judge the age and potency of market news and rumors: Once a story finally makes its way to the mainstream media, its market-moving ability is probably as dead as Judge Roy Moore's presidential aspirations.
I thought of this valuable metric last week when the Washington Post featured a long article on the aggressive forward march of cattle carcass weights. Maybe the same radical edition contained other spoiler-alerts like "Weinstein admits to dating problems" or "Putin favored to carry Russian election."
Talk about swinging behind the curve. Cattle weights have been moving relentlessly higher since the mid-1970s, so this "newsflash" from the Post is not likely to shake the price tree one way or the other.
On one hand, the article did accurately (sort of) depict, albeit in awkward verbiage, the size of the weight swing: "Since 1975, the weight of the average cow at slaughter has increased by roughly nine pounds each year -- from 996 pounds in 1975 to a whopping 1,363 pounds in 2016. ('Cow' technically refers to adult females, only, but is used colloquially for cattle in general.)"
On the other hand, fact-checkers at the venerable newspaper were clearly asleep at the wheel at some points. For example, the article grossly understated the decline in cattle population, saying, "U.S. ranchers now produce more beef at a lower cost than they did 40 years ago, even though herds have shrunk by 13 million."
For the love of fake news, a mere five seconds on Google would have informed the WP writer that the national cattle herd has imploded by 40 million head since 1974. Such disregard for accuracy leads me to a bigger criticism of the Post's rehashing of old, old, news.
Specifically, nowhere in the article's uneven presentation of weights and herd count stats does it attempt to correlate the two factors.
In short, the critical story of how draining herd numbers necessarily (via genetics, implants, feed additives, feeding practices) led to larger steers and heifers was not told. This logical relationship was of course driven by the need to limit the loss of beef market share within the total picture of consumer meat demand.
Helpless in the face of an imploding production base and exploding chicken tonnage, U.S. cattlemen had no choice but to find ways to do more with less. Enter the long train of circus elephants that gets a little heavier with each car added.
Frankly, the outdated story turned somewhat interesting when it considers retail implications of huge cattle carcasses. Expanding in proportion to its host bovine "the surface area of the average rib-eye grew roughly two square inches -- or two postage stamps -- between 1991 and 2016. Those larger muscles result in massive, expensive portions if they're cut to a traditional one- or 1 1/2-inch thickness."
"As a result," the Washington Post quoted Davey Griffin, a professor of animal science at Texas A&M, "restaurants and grocery stores have changed how they cut and market steaks. The most common adjustment, especially among mass-market chains, is to simply slice traditional cuts thinner."
The article ends by questioning whether thinner steaks, necessitated by retailers and food managers in search of manageable price points and margins, will cause consumer beef demand to soften, as these thinner cuts offend "traditional" steak perceptions. It's a good question, but again not a new one. Under the radar of most, I would argue that the average sirloin and rib-eye has been slimming down for more than a generation.
The greater question may go something like this: "Is there a tipping point in the ongoing thinning process where beef lovers will turn away from servings that look more like pancakes than boneless strips?"
While the cattle herd may still be expanding in the current cycle, I don't see the number growth as substantial enough to completely stop this problematic trend toward thinner cuts.
Not only do thinner steaks suffer in terms of eye-appeal, they constitute products with much smaller margins of preparation error.
Thin steaks ordered "medium rare" should be sold with insurance policies.
Interestingly, the "Catch-22" of thin steaks (i.e., the beef industry could lose demand with them or give up more market share without them) has recently been examined by thinkers far to the west of the Washington Post. Researchers at Purdue and Oklahoma State have just released a consumer study regarding the appeal of thinner steaks.
Jayson Lusk, head of Purdue University's department of agricultural economics, and his fellow OSU researchers Derrell Peel and Josh Maples surveyed more than 1,000 U.S. consumers, presenting them with a series of choices that varied in the type, thickness, area and price of the steak.
The study concluded that "the decrease in consumer welfare by moving from a choice set containing small area and thick steaks to a choice set that includes large area and thin steaks implies that the changes in carcass size have led to a decrease in consumer utility from today's steak choices relative to the steak choices of a few decades ago."
"In essence, our survey implied consumer preference varies relative to steak size but are generally in unison in their dislike for the thinnest cuts of steaks," Lusk said. "The aggregate welfare loss from the increase in carcass weight with respect to ribeye and sirloin steaks is $8.6 billion for the two largest classes. That is significant."
I'm pretty sure my eyes would quickly glaze over if these researchers tried to explain the math and analysis behind this estimated loss thanks to thin steaks. Yet with all due respect from a guy that barely passed the second year of algebra, I'm guessing their damage assessment is too high.
Why? Because the study is too limited, plate presentation and eating context too subjective, and, most importantly, seems to ignore the "Catch-22" reality mentioned above.
Whatever demand loss can be blamed on thinner steaks must be at least partially offset by how bigger carcass over the years has clearly worked to minimize market share loss to chicken and pork.
Thick or thin, you can't cut what you don't have.

Love is not a feeling. Love is an action, an activity. . .Genuine love implies commitment and the exercise of wisdom. . . . love as the will to extend oneself for the purpose of nurturing one's own or another's spiritual growth.....true love is an act of will that often transcends ephemeral feelings of love or cathexis, it is correct to say, 'Love is as love does'.

Community is and must be inclusive. The great enemy of community is exclusivity. Groups that exclude others because they are poor or doubters or divorced or sinners or of some different race or nationality are not communities; they are cliques--actually defensive bastions against community.

An unconscious, gentle process whereby people who want to be loving attempt to be so by telling little white lies, by withholding some of the truth about themselves and their feelings in order to avoid conflict. Pseudocommunity is conflict-avoiding; true community is conflict-resolving.

How strange that we should ordinarily feel compelled to hide our wounds when we are all wounded! Community requires the ability to expose our wounds and weaknesses to our fellow creatures. It also requires the ability to be affected by the wounds of others... But even more important is the love that arises among us when we share, both ways, our woundedness.

Community is another such phenomenon. Like electricity, it is profoundly lawful. Yet there remains something about it that is inherently mysterious, miraculous, unfathomable. Thus there is no adequate one-sentence definition of genuine community. Community is something more than the sum of its parts, its individual members. What is this "something more?" Even to begin to answer that, we enter a realm that is not so much abstract as almost mystical. It is a realm where words are never fully suitable and language itself falls short.

Community [is] a group of individuals who have learned how to communicate honestly with each other, whose relationships go deeper than their masks of composure, and who have developed some significant commitment to "rejoice together, mourn together," and to "delight in each other, make others' conditions our own.

It took four minutes for the School Board to deny the challenges to "When I Was Puerto Rican," by Esmeralda Santiago and "Thousand Pieces of Gold," by Ruthanne Lum McCunn Tuesday, April 29.
In that amount of time, Rita Thompson (At large) made a motion, seconded by Tessie Wilson (Braddock) to remove the McCunn book for the sole purpose of opening the floor to discussion, which allowed her to lobby for an automatic notification system for parents.
"We don't have an automated system in place to notify parents when their children are reading books with explicit material," Thompson said. "This book paints a vivid picture of slavery and women being bought and sold, which certainly still continues today in some countries; but some of our younger middle schoolers may not understand."
However, even Thompson did not vote for the motion. It failed unanimously. No motion was brought forth on the Santiago book, thereby denying the challenge. Board members Mychele Brickner (At large), Christian Braunlich (Lee) and Kaye Kory (Mason) were absent from the meeting.
Richard and Alice Ess of the Mount Vernon area of the county, had challenged both books, requesting each be removed from all school-system elementary and middle schools and future use of the books be prohibited. In both cases, paperwork filed by the Esses state they challenged the books "because of language, actions and situations" the books contained. Also in both cases, neither book is available at the elementary-school library level.
In all, the Esses filed challenges late last year to remove 25 books from school libraries systemwide, many of which were deemed to require no action because the book in question had already been removed or was only available in the Professional Collection, which cannot be accessed by students. Tuesday's actions represent the forth and fifth request to be appealed to the School Board, which has so far failed to uphold the Esses' challenge. The others were "Witch Baby," by Francesca Lia Block; "Growing Up Chicana/o," by Tiffany Ana Lopez; and "How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents," by Julia Alvarez.

One would be forgiven for thinking that it was 12.30pm - lunch time in a school playground, rather than 8.30pm on a Tuesday night. In fact, the following were the exact words of a local Rochfortbridge lady as she spoke to me through the fence of the gaa Astro pitch:
"All we could hear was the laughing, and loud chatting at first; but as we got closer, our eyes were captured by the group of young women all in their pink uniformed training kits; this all looks very professional"
For inside that fence, our u17/18s Real FA Swans girls' club side were hard at work. Zipping the ball around the now greasy surface from the due and mist that was steadily descending, our girls were barking instructions at each other in an impressively competitive environment. Each knew the consequence of losing and the embarrassing forfeit waiting for them - the topic of the jokes that provided a competitive edge to the game.
This particular group of girls have being with their coaches just over six years now. Yes, like all teams we have lost some players along the way, but we have always gained a few each season. Our leadership has not always being perfect, but as a group, we have a fantastic bond with all players, coaches, and parents. We are with each other three times a week and often arrange trips in and out of the country, as well as attending FAI Cup Final Days and Women's' International Matches. Let's just say we have each other's back.
Over the past number of weeks, it has become very clear that when it comes to schoolboy/girls' soccer in the country or in the development of the game there is plenty of lip service and hot air floating around without any real substance. Self-serving people who hold a positions of authority emerge; these are people who like to use that authority to suit themselves and their agendas rather than looking at things with rational eyes and from a player-development point of view.
As a group, our girls expressed interest in playing Sunday football this year. This was for a number of reasons. Saturday part time work now comes into effect for many of our girls; with the work experience they are gaining from Transition Year placements, the employers are now giving them some paid work at the weekends. Furthermore, our girls finished second behind Athlone Town last season and apart from one other game versus Birr Town, we scored five or more goals in each league game. Athlone Town have since entered the U17s National League and have had a commendable season to date. During last season we turned up at another venue on a Saturday morning to be faced with eight players in the opposition. The opposition claimed that they didn't want to inform us of their inability to field a team on the Friday night in fear of getting a fine from the schoolboys/girls' league. The final straw for the girls came during a home game. Having had a fantastic first half and playing some excellent football, shortly into the second half we were asked to blow the game up early as we had scored too many goals. As coaches we try and find a fair solution to this and put a restriction in place. It seems, however, that whatever you try to do you get ridiculed. We already had players playing in different positions on the pitch, and imposed a possession emphasis of ten passes. The game finished with ten minutes gone in the second half.
Innocently (and understandably) the girls asked why they were getting punished every other week for being the best they can be and for being well prepared? Young women they may be, but intelligent ones nevertheless. This is a question we simply can't answer. To top this particular weekend off, on the Saturday evening an email was sent to all club secretaries stating that a team in the league behaved in a very unsportsmanlike manner. What a farce.
As a club, we have had players participate in the Gaynor Cup competition, and we also had two Irish u16s trialists. Combining all of these factors and guided by our players who wished to stay together as a group and who wanted a higher standard of football, we decided to seek this higher standard of football for our girls.
We informed the current league that we were playing in about teams and age groups that we had intended to participate in the upcoming season. This would be our new u10s & u12s. We also stated in that same email that our u16s/17s will not be participating in the league in the upcoming season. We made contact with, and were accepted into, the new league in which the girls wished to play. Our girls individually filled out appropriate paperwork and made their payment; all was good to go and everyone was looking forward to the unknown but anticipated challenge.
Let me just state that we as a club or, personally as a committee member and head coach, we are not looking for sympathy, support or anything else from this article. We simply want to highlight how a clerical error, lack of foresight, and what a position that holds a little power can do in terms of potentially ruining a girls team or, at least, halting girls progression as footballers.
As the chairman of our small club I should have been aware that there was a procedure in place to leave the current league we were playing in. However this was not the case, and at no stage during the previous exchange of emails were we informed that there was paperwork to be completed for our u16/17s. We now find ourselves in the situation of friendly/development football for the year due to a rule we were unaware of and the league in which we played in last year having highlighted this to the FAI and thus blocked our move. Having had weeks of dialogue with the powers that be in the running of soccer in this country we are no further on and in limbo.
When we informed the players of what the league has done they were heartbroken. In fact they were adamant and as a group decided that whatever happens from here on, they will stick together as a group. I did mention earlier how much of a unit they were. They were also adamant that they would not be forced to play in a league that offered them very little by way of competitive football and player development. The parents of these kids who show huge commitment each week couldn't believe how negative and childish adults were being - all over a simple clerical error. This is definitely of a self-serving individual or a group of individuals who clearly feel under threat from a small club who carry out all of their dealings with ultimate professionalism with players' development to the fore of what we do.
Colin Bell, the Irish Ladies' manager said in his little promotion video before the game versus Northern Ireland, " ...it's 2018; everyone deserves a chance to play." He also said that he strives for excellence, development and trying to make the girls the best they can be, or something very similar to that. We echo the same sentiments and ideas, and have bought into the whole coach education by adding a UEFA B coaching accolade to our portfolio of Continuous Professional Development.
At the end of it all, the statistics dictate that not many of these girls will be international footballers. However as coaches, we have a duty of care to help them excel, and reach whatever level they can. We also have a duty of care to them to keep them involved in the game for as long as possible, especially when the drop off rate at this age group seems to be rising each year.
Again, I'm just looking to make people aware of the pitfalls that unfortunately reside in grassroots soccer in this country. We as a club have learned from our lack of knowledge - of not knowing about a simple procedure that could at any stage have been pointed out to us. In the wake of recent events, however, one could be forgiven for the view that this nugget of information was not passed on to us for a reason. As this goes to press we are still left in limbo and await clarification from the FAI on where we stand now. The fact remains these girls are being denied the chance to play football in their own country at a standard they deem suitable to match their ability.
I'm sorry to hear about your troubles. One of the worst things that can happen to anyone is to take away the one thing they have the passion of enjoying, in this case football. Isn't it ironic that instead of admitting to their mistakes (not disciplining teams who were short) they would turn around and screw you, when all you are doing is trying to avoid future misery for players and parents? The person that asks for justice, in turn gets punished. This is shameful. Leagues like this should be shut down! This should be reported to the local district, if not, to FIFA!
As a former coach of women's football at the Gaynor cup and 6 years as the manager of the CCFL women's intercounty squad I believe it's a shame and travesty that these players are being prevented from playing competitive football. Lip service and hot air, these players deserve so much more. All women players do. Keep fighting the good fight and the very best of luck
Reading this article just makes me so frustrated that club managers and committee members of these clubs play such childish politics games, Seening a club full of great talent looking for the opportunity to progress themselves into a better League should be seen as a positive move from all involved in sport.
But that's never the case for small minded people in this sport.
If the FAI don't help/support Real FA Swans girls Fc to make the best move for them as a club right now, well then they will be no better than these bitter clubs themselves. Hopefully they will make the right decisions and the girls will have a great successful season.
Absolute disgrace

Here's an update on the Border to Border grant in Fillmore County from Bluff Country Reader…
In less than 24 months, approximately 475 more homes, businesses and a government building will be included in Acentek's high-speed internet system. It was announced last month that the Houston-based company received a $1.78 million grant to add 159 miles of fiber optics to residents living in the village of Whalan and Carrolton and Holt townships. The grant is through the Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED).
The $1.78 million grant for Acentek is part of a new round of grants, totaling approximately $34 million, that will expand high-speed internet access to 16,627 households, 2,240 businesses and 71 community institutions in greater Minnesota.
"With this grant, which will pay for 39 percent of the project, we will be able to offer better services to many of our rural costumers," said Darren Moser, Acentek's chief financial officer (CFO).
The total cost to install nearly 160 miles of fiber optics to Fillmore County residents is $4.68 million. The local match for the project is $2.9 million. Moser noted Acentek was awarded $75,000 from Fillmore County.
Moser noted that with the topography of Fillmore County, the cost to dig 159 miles of fiber optics through hills, valleys, cliff, limestone formations and wooded land is quite a challenge.
It's interesting to hear about the struggle to get through the terrain in Fillmore County. Not all rural is the same. I remember visiting Northeast Minnesota to see fiber installs there – lots of drilling through rock!

INSPIRATION THIS TYME::Kristin Glenn and Shannon Whitehead::
Kristin Glenn and Shannon Whitehead are the creators of {r}evolution apparel, a sustainable travel clothing line for women. They recently launched their signature piece, the Versalette, and raised over $60,000 in pre-sales via a Kickstarter campaign. Their goal is to spark discussion about consumption and the environment, while giving women clothing options to "do more with less." Production of the Versalette has already started and it will be available for sale via {r}evolution apparel's online store in March.
Kristin and Shannon met in Australia in 2008 as recent college grads who were traveling on working holiday visas. After spending the following few years working and volunteering in various parts of the world, they reconnected to start a business that incorporated their love for travel and their hatred for traditional travel fashion (zip-off shorts, anyone?!). They officially started a business in August 2010 and vowed to create a social enterprise with a positive impact on fashion and the world.
1.Where did the idea for {r}evolution apparel come from?
K&S: We're both travelers by nature, so the idea for our 10-piece line came from experiences backpacking around the world. We are both quite minimal and readily mobile and saw a need for a wardrobe to reflect that. As we were packing for a trip to Nicaragua to research fair trade fashion, we realized there was a need for a sustainable and versatile wardrobe that hadn't been filled.
2.What does your typical day look like?
K&S: Until recently, we both worked other jobs in addition to {r}evolution apparel, so our days were scattered between the 2. A typical day involves a lot of g-chat and Skype, eating lots of vegetables, drinking lots of coffee and moving full-throttle towards our next goal!
3.What are you working on right now?
K&S: We're in the production phase of our signature piece, the Versalette. It's a garment that can be worn more than 15 different ways (as a dress, shirt, skirt, hood, purse or scarf). We were recently funded via Kickstarter, an online platform for pre-sales and peer funding. We're in the process of revamping our Website, setting up an online store and preparing to mail out over 700 pre-ordered Versalettes.
4.How do you bring ideas to life?
K&S: Notepads, pens, Google Docs and a good partnership. When we have an idea, we document it, share it and then take time to think about it. We research all of the ways to do it, talk some more and finally come up with a plan of attack. One of our goals right now is to have a mobile storefront to drive around the West Coast this summer; it's an audacious goal, but we're following our usual route and are sure we can make it happen.
5.As an entrepreneur, what is the one thing you do over and over and recommend everyone else do?
K&S: Build relationships with other people. The friendships we've made with other entrepreneurs since starting our business have been invaluable. The support, knowledge and inspiration we've gained from them have been a key factors in getting us as far as we've come.
6.What's the best thing about being an entrepreneur?
Shannon: Freedom. Being able to do what you love every day. Having a heightened sense of purpose. Meeting other awesome entrepreneurs.
7.What's the hardest thing about being an entrepreneur?
Kristin: Attempting to turn your brain off when you aren't working (but who are we kidding, it's impossible!). Making sure that "you run your business" instead of the opposite, as cliche as it sounds. Keeping the faith.
8.What is one business idea that you're willing to give away to our readers?
Shannon: Tastebook, like Facebook but for people who like to cook. The irony is that I can't toast bread. (And, apparently the web domain is already taken.)
