CHICAGO — The NATO alliance that has fought for a decade in Afghanistan is helping that nation shift toward stability and peace, but there will be "hard days ahead," President Barack Obama said Sunday as alliance leaders insisted the fighting coalition will remain effective despite France's plans to yank combat troops out early.
With a global economic crisis and waning public support for the war in the backdrop, world leaders opened a NATO summit confronted by questions about Afghanistan's post-conflict future: money for security forces, coming elections and more. They were also papering over the crack in the fighting alliance with the planned French withdrawal.
"We still have a lot of work to do and there will be great challenges ahead," Obama said. "The loss of life continues in Afghanistan and there will be hard days ahead. "
The end of the war is in sight, Obama said following a lengthy discussion with Afghan President Hamid Karzai on the sidelines of the NATO summit. The military alliance is pledged to remain in Afghanistan into 2014, but will seal plans Sunday and Monday to shift foreign forces off the front lines a year faster than once planned.
Afghan forces will take the lead throughout the nation next year, instead of in 2014, despite uneven performance under U.S. and other outside tutelage so far. The shift is in large part a response to plummeting public support for the war in Europe and the United States, contributors of most of the 130,000 foreign troops now fighting the Taliban-led insurgency. A majority of Americans now say the war is unwinnable or not worth continuing.
Karzai said his nation is looking forward to the end of war, "so that Afghanistan is no longer a burden on the shoulder of our friends in the international community, on the shoulders of the United States and our other allies."
Obama said NATO partners would discuss "a vision for post-2014 in which we have ended our combat role, the Afghan war as we understand it is over, but our commitment to friendship and partnership to Afghanistan continues."
Newly elected French President Francois Hollande has said he will withdraw all French combat troops from Afghanistan by year's end — a full two years before the timeline agreed to by nations in the U.S.-led NATO coalition.
"There will be no rush for the exits," NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said. "Our goal, our strategy, our timetable remain unchanged."
Rasmussen denied there were fresh cracks in the alliance. He suggested a deal will emerge for France to move into a noncombat role but continue to support the international mission.
Before the one-hour meeting with Karzai, a senior U.S. official said Obama would focus on planning for Afghanistan's 2014 elections, as well as the prospect of a political settlement with the Taliban.
Karzai has said repeatedly he will step down from power when his term ends in 2014, opening the way for new elections. NATO's scheduled end of the war was built around those plans, with foreign forces staying until the 2014 election but exiting the country by 2015.
Obama and Karzai will discuss ways to ensure that political rivals can compete fairly in the run-up to the election, as well as ways to reduce fraud and support the winner who emerges, the official said.
Past Afghan elections were riddled with irregularities, and the U.S. applied heavy pressure to Karzai to schedule a second round of voting during the last presidential contest in 2009. The runoff was never held because Karzai's challenger pulled out, protesting what he said was an impossible level of corruption.
The election chapter opened a rift between the U.S. and Karzai, who suspected that the Obama administration wanted to replace him.
The Obama administration has mostly repaired its relationship with Karzai, but mistrust remains on both sides.
The U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive diplomacy, said before the meeting that Obama and Karzai also were to discuss prospects for a political settlement or peace pact between Karzai's government and the Taliban-led insurgency. The Taliban pulled out of U.S.-led talks in March, but separate talks among Afghan and other contacts continue, the U.S. official said.
The official said Obama believes political reconciliation is essential to the country's future security.
The Taliban is urging nations fighting in Afghanistan to follow France's lead and pull their international forces from the war this year.
"We call upon all the other NATO member countries to avoid working for the political interests of American officials and answer the call of your own people by immediately removing all your troops from Afghanistan," the group said in a statement before the meeting.
The insurgent group cited declining public support for the war in the West and said political leaders should listen to their constituents and get out of Afghanistan.
The national security-focused NATO summit caps an extraordinary weekend of international summitry. Obama and the leaders of the world's leading industrial nations convened at Camp David, the presidential retreat in Maryland, for two days of talks focused in large part on Europe's economic crisis.
Joining Obama and many of the G-8 leaders in Chicago are the heads of NATO alliance nations and other countries with a stake in the Afghan war.
Prominent among those nations is Pakistan. Tensions between the U.S. and Pakistan have been running high following several incidents, including the U.S. raid in Pakistan that led to the death of Osama bin Laden and a U.S. airstrike that killed two dozen Pakistani soldiers.
Both countries have been seeking to restore normal relations. Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari's acceptance of an invitation to attend the NATO summit was seen as an indication that his country would reopen major roads used to supply NATO fighting forces in Afghanistan, a key U.S. demand.
White House officials said that while they believe an agreement on reopening the supply routes will be reached, they do not expect that to happen during the NATO meetings. The two nations are haggling over how much Pakistan will be paid to allow the heavy transport truck to pass through. A senior U.S. official said the two sides are far apart. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive diplomacy.
Officials have indicated that Obama and Zardari will not hold a separate bilateral meeting until the matter is resolved. Although miffed, Zardari is expected to see Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and other U.S. officials in Chicago.
"I do hope that we will see a reopening of the transit routes in the very near future," Rasmussen said. "These negotiations will continue, but I am hopeful that they will be concluded in a positive manner."

To increase awareness of the enormous variety of life on our planet, and raise the profile of threatened species, we have launched the IUCN Red List 'Species of the Day'.
Biodiversity is the backbone of all life on earth, and its conservation lies at the very core of IUCN's work. 'Species of the Day' has been launched as part of IUCN's involvement in the International Year of Biodiversity.
With mounting scientific evidence of a serious extinction crisis, it's time to take action. "The latest analysis of the IUCN Red List shows the 2010 target to reduce biodiversity loss will not be met," says Jane Smart, Director of IUCN's Biodiversity Conservation Group. "It's time for governments to get serious about saving species and make sure it's high on their agendas for next year, as we're rapidly running out of time."
Each day of 2010 will see a different species featured on the IUCN website, with information on the threats it faces. The 365 species selected represent the entire range of taxonomic groups and cover all regions. We have started by featuring some better known species, including the Polar Bear and will move on to cover plants, fungi, invertebrates and more. Both charismatic and obscure species will be featured, providing an insight into the astonishing level of biodiversity that exists.
Partnership in action
This project is a joint project of the IUCN Species Programme and the Species Survival Commission (SSC). It has been made possible through the support of UNEP and ARKive.
If you are interested in featuring Species of the Day on your website, please contact Kathryn Pintus email@example.com or Rachel Roberts firstname.lastname@example.com for further information on how to display the Species of the Day link button.

[Intro: Young Dolph]
We're smokin' on that A-Plus
Uuuuh, uuuuh ...
Thick bitch with me got that A-Plus
Yeah, it's Dolph
[Verse 1: Young Dolph]
I'm flyin' through the city in a 2 seater
Runnin' red lights pourin' up syrup
Thick bitch with me poppin' pain killers
I'm smokin' loud A.K.A. that brain killer
Bought a house in the hood to sell kush there
Five Franklyns for my Prada footwear
My family infested with dope fiends
Guess it run in my jeans cause I'm sprung on Codeine
The bad bitches show me love, the broke niggas hatin'
Snitches tellin' on me got the Feds investigatin'
The illest nigga in my city nigga, straight up
These lil' niggas midgrade, Dolph A-Plus
First thing first when I wake up (What you do ?)
I brush my teeth and roll a blunt of A-Plus
Plus you sold Kush he make you wanna lay us
I told lil' mama, bitch you got that A-Plus (A-Plus)
A-Plus (A-Plus), A-Plus
She off the chain with it, I gave her a A-Plus (A-Plus)
A-Plus (A-Plus), A-Plus
I pull up with the calculator, I'm servin' A-Plus
[Verse 2: Gucci Mane]
Since a pup, I been running with them thug niggas
From the 6, it's a land full of drug dealers
You say you scared of what? You better be scared of us, nigga
Fuck a entourage -- bricks all on my bus, nigga
I bought a mansion in the hills to hide dope there
I love sun valley, but there really ain't no hope there
I bought a condo and I do not have no clothes there
We don't fuck hoes there, don't do nothing but cook O's there
Seventeen years old, and I got ho fair
Police catch me, they gonna strap me to that old chair
I'm paying twelve, 'bout to sweep it under the rug, nigga
Looking at the mirror, looking at the plug, nigga
[Verse 3: Young Dolph]
I called my plug and spent a hundred on some A-Plus
My bitch one hundred, that mean she A-Plus
Gave her a stack just for her weave and her make-up
She quick to tell a fuck nigga, get your cake up
Who the fuck you think she got it from? She Dolph girl
I'm counting money while she loading up the Mossberg
Seventy racks on my old-school, got a Challenger on my left wrist
Everything I got came from me pumping A-Plus in South Memphis
Y'all know how I get down
In the trap going pound for pound
I got a little toy that hold a hundred rounds
Dolce belt, Gucci shirt, and a stupid-ass pair of D squares
I'm mismatching, but what the hell?
I'm in Ruth's Chris with your man there

12 Tips for a Stress-Free Christmas
Avoid a holiday meltdown with these easy stress-fighting tips.
Retail therapy doesn't have quite the same calming effect during the holiday season when you're fighting your way through a crowd to snag a must-have iPad or wrestling for that last honey-glazed ham. But there are plenty of other super-quick ways to relax, right here, right now. Lower your shoulders, take a deep breath and let us help you rediscover the most wonderful time of the year.
1. Crunch your way to calm. Munching crisp foods is the oral equivalent of squeezing a stress ball. (Chewing releases built-up pressure.) But that doesn't give you a free pass to chomp on candy canes all day. Snack on jicama slices, a few roasted nuts, celery sticks, baby carrots or an apple instead.
2. Distract yourself. If constant worries over your tween's wish list and the awkward company party are cycling through your head, a mental distraction, like solving a puzzle, can derail the pressure-pumping train of thought. One study found playing a brainteaser video game could improve your mood and heart rhythms. Crossword puzzles, word searches and sudoku work just as well to counteract the stress response.
3. Tidy up. When you have so much happening, ordinary chores like sweeping or folding laundry can give you a much-needed sense of calm. "By narrowing your focus to completing simple tasks, you force whatever was overwhelming you to recede into the background," says Jay Winner, M.D., author of Take the Stress Out of Your Life. So move washing dishes to the top of your to-do list and eliminate some tension.
4. Cry it out. Weeping makes you feel better by releasing tears, which contain large amounts of stress-related chemicals. If you can't just turn on the waterworks, rent a tearjerker and blame your blubbering on The Notebook.
5. Say ohmmm. Meditation can slow a racing heart, decrease blood pressure, steady breathing and even stop checkout lines from driving you crazy. (Well, maybe.) "By eliminating all distractions save the sound of your breath, meditation transforms the body's fight-or-flight response to relaxation," says Dr. Winner.
6. B-calm. Head off trouble by getting your recommended dose of these vitamins. "B-complex helps relieve fatigue, improves mood and soothes nerves," says Rashmi Gulati, M.D., medical director of Patients Medical, a holistic wellness center in New York City. Add B-vitamin-rich foods to your diet with a spinach breakfast omelet or three-bean salad lunch.
7. Rub the right way. No time for a spa trip? Debbie Mandel, stress management expert and author of Addicted to Stress, suggests this quick technique to unwind: Warm a small amount of olive or almond oil in a glass by partially submerging it in a bowl of hot water. When the oil is tepid, use your thumb and forefinger to massage it back and forth around your eyes.
8. Take a tea break. Leave it to the Brits to prove that drinking black tea reduces your level of the stress hormone cortisol by 47% on average. Create a calming ritual by pouring a cup every day at around the same time. Make it extra special with a gorgeous mug or a black seasonal blend.
9. Drink up. 'Tis the season for eggnog and mulled wine. But don't forget water. Alcohol is dehydrating, causing you to function at less than your best. The reverse is also true: Being under pressure can lead to dehydration. Always keep a glass or pitcher of water on your desk or kitchen counter.
10. Support yourself. Try this acclaimed pose that can head off insomnia by relaxing tight muscles all over your body. Micki Ramondt, a yoga instructor in London and Philadelphia, suggests that before bed you lie on your back with your butt as close to a wall as is comfortable, legs extended up, hip distance apart, and heels resting on wall. Place a folded blanket under your pelvis for support and comfort. Stay in place for 10 to 20 minutes, then sleep tight.
11. Go fish. Top your lunchtime salad with canned salmon or tuna. Both contain cortisol-regulating magnesium, which can get depleted during hectic moments, resulting in headaches and fatigue. These fish are also a great source of omega-3 fatty acids, which prevent surges in stress hormones.
12. Appeal to a higher power. People who prayed before performing a taxing task—say, preparing dinner for 30—had lower blood pressure and felt less anxious than those who did not. Researchers theorize that prayer creates the sense of having a nonjudgmental and powerful support network.

WaterWise Garden Recognition Contest
The current drought conditions are forcing many agencies to focus their staff resources on other priorities. As a result, most water purveyors decided not to participate in a Water Wise Garden Recognition Contest in 2014. Only the Carpinteria Valley Water District implemented the contest this year. We realize that many gardens, even water wise gardens, are being stressed by the drought conditions, and we thank you for your efforts to ensure water efficient landscapes. Likewise, we greatly appreciate your interest in this contest.
Many excellent WaterWise gardens entered this year's contest, and the winner has a truly outstanding WaterWise garden. Congratulations to the Taylors!
2014 Contest Winner
Jim and Tanya Taylor's WaterWise garden won 1st place for the 2014 WaterWise Garden Recognition Contest, held in Carpinteria by the Carpinteria Valley Water District.

A bucket is used in the shower to capture the initial cold water in the plumbing lines. This water is then deposited into one of many "drip buckets" spread throughout the landscape, which offers plants a slow soaking.

If you currently have a savings plan in place, it's important to know how much money you are on track to accumulate. As the saying goes, if you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there. Regardless of whether you're saving for a long-term goal such as retirement or for a short-term goal such as a family vacation, it's important to have a dollar figure in mind. This calculator is designed to help you estimate the future value of your current savings.
Will you accumulate enough savings to reach your goals? You may need to reexamine
your savings plan and make some adjustments. You can change some of the variables
to see how much savings you would accumulate under different scenarios.
This chart shows the estimated savings accumulation using the after-tax rate of return you selected. Are you satisfied with the savings accumulation illustrated on the graph? If not, you may want to consider increasing the amount you save or decide whether you can afford to invest your savings more aggressively. If you want to accumulate more but aren't sure how, we can help you develop a savings program that could help you bring your goals within reach.
The information provided is not specific investment advice, a guarantee of performance, or a recommendation.
Rates of return will vary over time, particularly for long-term investments. Investments

Now that Coca-Cola Co., PepsiCo Inc. and other sugary soda producers are planning to list health information on vending machines, calorie counts aren't just for the likes of McDonald's and fast food joints.
In full view of consumers, the machines will have a "Calories Count" display alongside messages such as "Check Then Choose" and "Try a Low-Calorie Beverage," according to the American Beverage Assn. trade group.
Labels listing the number of calories per container will be affixed to selection buttons. More lower-calorie drinks will be offered in the machines, which will initially be available in government buildings in Chicago and San Antonio.
None initially, however, in New York, where Mayor Michael Bloomberg recently pushed through a ban on certain sales of super-sized sugary drinks. Major beverage companies, including Coke, PepsiCo and Dr Pepper Snapple, have faced increasing pressure to help reduce obesity and offer more healthful fare.
The calorie-conscious vending program is slated for national expansion after the initial rollout, according to the trade group.
"This appears to be an attempt by the industry to start an initiative -- not just to make diet and low-calorie products available -- but also to try and motivate consumers to buy and consume more diet and low-calorie products, i.e., to shift consumer behavior," wrote John Sicher, editor and publisher of trade publication Beverage Digest, in an email.
The soda vending project takes a bite out of a similar move last month by McDonald's, which said it would list calorie counts on every menu board and drive-through across the country.

How are these for awkward? If last week was the week of the amazingly awkward trophies, this week it's the humans who take their turn at awkwardness. We love the trio above, as finalist Gael Monfils and winner Radek Stepanek pose with a parks official after their Legg Mason Classic title match. Stepanek upset Monfils, the top seed, 6-4 6-4. Meanwhile, below, Agnieszka Radwanska and Vera Zvonareva look o-v-e-r it in San Diego following Radwanska's 6-3 6-4 win over Vera at the Mercury Insurance Open. Are these two friends? We can't tell. But oy! Isn't Aggie's bandage an ugly sight?
Oops! He did it again. Stepanek celebrates another US Open Series title with "The Worm"

Currently available antiviral herpes
medications are not always effective, and yet herpes can be very
disrupting and seriously lower quality of life. So we scoured decades
of antiviral research in dozens of medical journals to find the most
effective herpes treatments available. What we found was that the best
treatments are actually plant extracts. We also learned that most
patented medicines have their origins in plants. Plant extracts alone
can't be patented, and so some of the best medicines discovered remain
largely unused.
So we put gathered together all of this careful scientific research and put it to good use, by combining the plant extracts discovered to help with herpes outbreaks. Some work by killing the herpes virus - and several kill it in different ways. Some help by speeding skin healing. Some prevent itching and inflammation. Some stop the virus from replicating. Some boost the immune system.
HSV-Zero Antiviral Herpes Treatment penetrates deep into the dermis and inactivates the herpes virus within human cells. It prevents lesions if used before they form, and dramatically reduces healing time if used once they are visible. It stops viral shedding, and can be used regularly to prevent outbreaks. Can be used for HSV type 1 and 2; oral or genital herpes.
HSV-Zero contains medicinal plant extracts that have have been clinically proven to be antiviral against herpes in vivo (not just in the test tube), reduce healing time, boost the immune system, and help prevent future outbreaks. HSV-Zero is all natural - not because we wanted to create an all natural product, but because the most effective ingredients have already been created by nature. If you do not find our product more effective than Acyclovir or Famcyclovir, or any other Herpes medication, we will refund your purchase.
HSV-Zero phytoceutical extracts include these substances that have been clinically proven effective to both treat and to prevent herpes outbreaks:
- bioflavanoids clinically proven to be active against herpes in vivo
- polyphenols clinically proven to be active against herpes in vivo
- fulvic acid - a potent antiviral and immune booster
- saponins clinically proven to be active against herpes in vivo
- resveratrol clinically proven to be active against herpes in vivo
- polysacharides clinically proven to be active against herpes in vivo
- tannins clinically proven to be active against herpes in vivo
- immune boosters clinically proven to speed healing and lessen future outbreaks
- skin anti-irritants to heal and sooth
- natural anti-viral substance that
also acts to bring the other active ingredients through the epidermis,
into the dermis - a major key to our products success.
How to use:
If you feel a herpes outbreak coming on and use HSV-Zero three or more times per day before any sign of lesions. HSV-Zero can help prevent lesions from forming.
If you have have already developed Herpes lesions, HSV-Zero can greatly reduce healing time. Average healing for untreated herpes outbreaks is 10-15 days. HSV-Zero can reduce healing time to well under 5 days, and frequently can reduce healing time to just one day.
Epidermal growth factor (EGF) is a naturally occurring substance found in the human body. It was discovered in 1986, earning a Nobel Prize for Stanley Cohen. EGF helps cells to proliferate, differentiate and survive. It is used in some topical medicines to help ulcerated tissue to heal more quickly. EGF is obtained using molecular biology techniques. Similarly, keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) is involved with the early stages of wound healing and its inclusion helps to speed up the process of healing vesicles and ulcers.
Both EGF an KGF are natural products; but unlike the purely herbal basis of the HSV-zero formulation, they must be obtained by high Tech. microbiology methods which are expensive. HSV-zero Plus offers the benefits of even speedier wound healing than our standard treatment, but because of its high Tech. components, it is a more expensive product.

Space for Knowledge, Competitiveness and Growth at FIA 2012
The European Space Agency, the UK Space Agency, the Italian Space Agency ASI, the Russian space agency Roscomos and industry will be exhibiting in a dedicated 'Space Zone' in Hall 3 at the Farnborough International Air Show, FIA from 9-15 July 2012.
The Space Zone at FIA, organised by A|D|S, the UK Aerospace, Defence and Security trade organisation, will bring together key players from international space agencies and industry in the aerospace, defence, space and security sectors to highlight the increasingly important role of Space.
"This year", says Fernando Doblas, Head of the ESA Communication Department, "the ESA exhibition at Farnborough will highlight the multiple facets of Space: Space for Earth, Space for Knowledge, Space for Competitiveness and Growth. At this time of unprecedented economic challenges, Space has proven to be an engine of economic development, an anchor of stability and a counterbalance to negative trends. Space-based services are more and more part of our daily life and represent a growing element of the economic and societal value of space".
The ESA exhibition will focus on how Space pushes the frontiers of knowledge, supports an innovative and competitive Europe and creates technical innovation and new business.
With the latest results from astronomy and planetary missions, ESA will show how Space data brings important knowledge to understand the Earth, exploring its unique place in the Solar System and Universe.
Future missions for human exploration beyond the low Earth orbit of the International Space Station will be featured, together with some of the cutting-edge scientific results from experiments carried out in microgravity on Columbus and other laboratories.
From their special vantage point satellites continuously monitor the Earth and its natural processes, bringing critical information as to how climate, gravity and the magnetic field affect our planet and detect changes taking place in our atmosphere, land, oceans and ice. Particular emphasis is placed on new data from ESA's CryoSat ice mission and Swarm, the next mission to be launched in the state-of-the-art series of Earth Explorers.
ESA's Earth observation satellites have given Europe a leading role in understanding our planet, weather and climate change, providing data and services to a vast community of users. The exhibition will feature the next generation of Meteosat and MetOp weather and climate satellites. ESA will also display maps created for disaster relief following natural catastrophes under the International Charter on Space and Major Disasters, co-founded by ESA in 2000.
A special feature will focus on the first in the series of ESA's Sentinel satellites, part of the EU's Global Monitoring for the Environment and Security initiative, GMES.
Visitors to the stand can learn more about space-based services provided to aviation by EGNOS, the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service, operational since March 2011; and about the Galileo constellation with two satellites already in orbit and two more being launched later this year.
Visitors will also learn how ESA is supporting competitiveness of the satellite telecom industry with Hylas-1, ESA's first public-private partnership, that has provided innovative broadband services across Europe since 2011; and the upcoming launch of Alphasat, flying on Alphabus, the first European large platform for high-power telecommunications satellites.
ESA also develops a wide range of telecom services and applications to provide space-based solutions in fields such as air traffic management and maritime surveillance efficiently and seamlessly over almost every region of our planet.
Modern life is increasingly dependent on services that rely on space-based technologies, and since 2012 Ariane 5, Soyuz and Vega are all now being launched from Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana, providing a full range of launch capabilities for different types and sizes of satellites.
The development of technology is central to ESA's existence, bringing future missions and applications within the realm of possibility. ESA shows its wide range of specialised laboratories in its ESTEC establishment and its highly successful PROBA, Project for On-Board Autonomy, satellite demonstration missions.
New ideas developed for space missions often hold great potential for terrestrial sectors too. ESA's Business Incubation Centres, BICs, work to inspire entrepreneurs to turn space-connected business ideas into commercial companies. Representatives from the ESA BIC in Harwell, near Oxford, will be present during trade days from Monday 9 to Thursday 12 July.
The Space Zone will host a series of high-level events including a dedicated Space Day conference organised and hosted by the UK Space Agency on Tuesday 10 July which will include speeches from David Willetts, UK Minister of State for Universities and Science; Francesco Profumo, Italian Minister of Education, University and Scientific Research and Chair of the ESA Council at Ministerial Level; Jean-Jacques Dordain, ESA Director General; Enrico Saggese, President of the Italian Space Agency, ASI; David Williams, Chief Executive of the UK Space Agency and Andy Green, CEO of Logica and Chairman of the UK Space Innovation and Growth Team.
Other presentations and events in the Space Zone will include a conference on Careers, Wednesday 11 July, on industry on Thursday 12 July and presentations for students on careers in the scientific and technical aerospace sector with an ESA astronaut on Friday 13 July.
Farnborough International Air Show 2012 is open from Monday 9 to Sunday 15 July with a special Futures Day for students on Friday 13 and access to the general public on Saturday 14 and on Sunday 15 July.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) -- New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez said Friday she is asking federal officials not to allow a southeastern New Mexico company to open the nation's first slaughterhouse for horses since 2007.
Martinez plans to send a letter to the U.S. Department of Agriculture asking it deny a Roswell meat company's request for inspections that would allow it to operate.
"Despite the federal government's decision to legalize horse slaughter for human consumption, I believe creating a horse slaughtering industry in New Mexico is wrong and I am strongly opposed," Martinez said in a statement.
Valley Meat Co. has filed an application with the U.S. Department of Agriculture for its 7,300-square-foot plant outside of town. Documents obtained by the Humane Society of the United States and Front Range Equine Rescue show that horses would be "custom slaughtered" and processed for human consumption at the plant, the Albuquerque Journal reported (http://bit.ly/IlnrcB ).
Valley Meat didn't immediately returns calls from the Associated Press on Friday. USDA officials said they were preparing a statement.
Horse slaughter has effectively been blocked since Congress withheld funds for USDA inspections of horse meat plants in 2006. But a recently passed agriculture bill provides the money.
The last horse slaughterhouse closed in Illinois in 2007. Since Congress renewed inspection funding, several plants are under consideration, including one in Missouri that would process up to 200 animals a day.
More than 100,000 American horses are shipped out of the country to plants in Canada and Mexico for slaughter each year, and their meat is bound for markets in Europe and Asia, according to the Humane Society. Although there are reports of Americans dining on horse meat a recently as the 1940s, the practice is virtually non-existent in this country.
A spokesman for New Mexico Attorney General Gary King said his office so far has found no legal basis for stopping the plant, but a lawyer has been assigned to continue looking into the matter.
"A horse slaughtering plant in Roswell is a terrible idea. Such a practice, while not illegal, is certainly abhorrent to public sentiment, and I strongly suggest it be abandoned," King, a Democrat, said in a written statement.
"Horses are different and should be treated differently," he said.
The Humane Society, Front Range Equine Rescue and other groups are pushing the federal government to ban the export of American horses for the foreign meat market and to formally prohibit the slaughter of horses for human consumption in the United States.
"Horse slaughter for food is a national disgrace, given the iconic nature of American horses and the especially brutal methods used to kill them," Front Range Equine Rescue said in a statement.
Pro-slaughter activists say the horse slaughter ban had unintended consequences, including an increase in neglect and the abandonment of the animals.
Details about the extent of the proposed horse slaughtering operation were unavailable, but the application obtained by the groups says the plant would only handle horses, not cattle or chickens. The plant would operate eight hours a day year-round, according to the application.
Front Range's lawyer, Bruce Wagman, said Valley Meat first filed an application for USDA inspections in December, and then a second application in March.
The groups said it has obtained email correspondence showing that company representatives have been talking for months to officials from the Denver office of the Food Safety and Inspection Service, which inspects animals and meats in American slaughterhouses.
According to Front Range, one January email from an FSIS official said, "Public wants assurances there is no way for horse meat to get into their beef products."
Critics also contend former companion, working, racing and wild horses should not be used as human food because drugs routinely given to such horses are potentially dangerous to people.
Elisabeth Jennings, executive director of Animal Protection of New Mexico, said residents of a state with roots in cowboy culture "have a deep and enduring appreciation for horses, especially given their important role in our state's rural way of life."
"It is an affront to our citizens to suggest bringing the cruel, dangerous and polluting enterprise of horse slaughter to New Mexico as we celebrate our state's centennial," she said.

Hello Everybody!
A few weeks ago I received a special order: I was asked to create a frame with some simple flowers. With NO dead line! This of course allowed me to take much more time than I actually wanted to dedicate to this project. Not the best working scenario for me!
A while ago, I purchased a set of papers with five new colors, so I decided to try them. I instantly fell in love with the scarlet red paper and, from the moment I laid my eyes on it, I knew that I will shred it to strips which I will eventually turn into some pretty flowers. That is exactly what I did, but after making the 3 big flowers, the project came to a halt. I had no idea what to make of them and only after one week or so I finally created a design suited for my quilled scarlet red flowers. This is the end result:
I am really happy with the outcome, I simply love to make 3D projects! If the frame was a little deeper, the plants would have looked so much better! The next thing on my to-do-list is to learn how to deepen a frame!
Here are a few photos with some close-ups and side views:
The inside of the frame measures 23/23cm. For the red flowers and leaves I used 120g/sm paper, hand cut into 2mm strips, and for the fringed flowers, 80g/sm paper. The diameter of the largest flower is approx 5cm.
I hope my customer will be as excited as I am about my creation!
Until next time, happy quilling!

The Edmund F. Maxwell Foundation believes it is important to acknowledge the accomplishments of high-achieving students. The Maxwell Foundation is offering financial aid of up to $5,000 per year for freshmen starting a four-year private college program during the 2019-2020 academic year.
The scholarship is renewable each year for a total of up to $20,000 over a four year period. Students who plan to pursue a four-year degree at an accredited private college or university and who are bona fide residents of Western Washington are urged to apply in early 2019. Other requirements include: completing the application fully, composing a short essay, and achieving test scores on the combined math/reading SAT scores of 1200 or more (or equivalent ACT scores). Scholarships require that there must be financial need as determined by the standard FAFSA process. Newly awarded scholarships will be limited to entering freshmen.
The scholarships are designed to provide assistance to those who have shown ability, aptitude and a promise of useful citizenship and also have a financial need. Each recipient will be a living memorial to Edmund F. Maxwell.

A new paper in plos one, published today, has shown that experiments on human cognition needn't be confined to the lab.
Experiments on human cognitive abilities, such as language, often rely on testing small and homogeneous groups of volunteers (mostly undergraduate students) coming to research facilities where they are asked to participate in behavioral experiments. This arrangement is not ideal as your sample will not be representative of the population as a whole and will also be restricted as there is only so many participants that money and time will allow you to get into the lab to be tested.
This new research by Dufau et al. shows that the sampling limitations which laboratory experiments produce can be overcome by using smartphones. Using smart phone technology, data can be collected for cognitive science experiments from thousands of subjects from all over the world.
To illustrate how this can be done the authors carried out a large-scale study using iPhone and iPads. This was a linguistic study looking at people's ability to distinguish words from similar non-words.
The project, which began in December 2010 has managed to collect data from 4,157 subjects in just 4 months! This can be compared with the English Lexicon Project which acquired a similar volume of data using traditional methods which took more than 3 years.
The data was collected using applications which were produced in seven languages (English, Basque, Catalan, Dutch, French, Malay, Spanish). Smartphones can also support studies in alphabets other than Roman including Chinese, Greek, and Japanese. This creates the opportunity to create large-scale cross linguistic studies without even having to move from behind your desk.
Whilst the example here is linguistic there is every reason that smart phones can be implemented in looking at how universal other areas of cognitive behaviour are. Or even neurosceince and experimental philosophy. I wonder if it would be possible to carry out experiments using transmission chains using smart phones.
However, I do worry that using things like iPhones will have the same problems as using things like mechanical turk, as it means that experimenters will not be able to make sure that participants are carrying out the tasks properly and removes quite a lot of control. Smartphones are also still a luxury and therefore only people within a certain socio-economic class will have smartphones, so maybe these methods may not reach such a wide audience, which seems to be why they're being proposed in the first place.
The authors of the paper are hailing smartphones "a potential revolution in cognitive science" but only time will tell if this really kicks off!

I've been married a large part of my life; not to one person, mind you, but still married. At this point in life, I'm taking some "me" time. I like my cooking, the dogs can get on the furniture, and I'm building a new house without having to put in anything I don't want. (One of my ex's is even offering a hand.) I fully admit to not having a relationship simply because I don't want one bad enough to put myself back in the game.

Like I said," at this stage." Both genders should enjoy that "me" time. Me, 31 yrs married, then a nine yr relationship. After 3 yrs, I'm with you guys. Enjoy life and recognize how fortunate we are. What happens, happens.
Motorcycling is something we do alone together.
I think there is a relationship counter part to that but I have yet to find it.
Don't really know why I'm part of this thread.. married since 1987!
Not always CAKE, but I'll take the bad with the good.... and... I love her.

Back to finding a we instead of just a me. Why not have a "singles forum frenzy" at the National? I know what started the relationship with my wife was the fact that I rode.
Converted a Harley Babe to a BMW Bride and we shared many smiles before cancer ended that ride.
It will be a while yet before ...
Why not have a place to find a riding partner?

Both of my parents, both sets of grandparents, and numerous aunts and uncles were all Christians that lived their lives so that you KNEW they were a child of God without them ever having to say a word about it...but talk about it they did...
So why would someone who was raised in a seemingly "perfect" spiritual background ever even think about not following the Lord? I still ask myself that question sometimes...
We always went to church. My earliest memories include:
Later memories were:
As I grew a little older, and took these things for granted, it was hard for me to understand people who did not believe the way I did. I thought everyone believed in God, prayed, and went to church, and those who did not, weren't as "good" as I was.
When I grew to an age of accountability, and the Lord started dealing with my heart, I would tell myself,
"Granddaddy is a preacher",
"Grandmother reads her Bible and prays all the time",
and so I am good to go...
No one could have holier genes than me...
I remember one night during a revival at my Poppie and Monie's church...Bro. Chamblee was preaching and I felt like he could see straight through me. The Spirit of the Lord was so real in that service and everyone was busy praising God and shouting and having a good old time in the Lord.
While the singing and praising were going on, the preacher came down from the pulpit and started walking down the aisles of the church. We were not allowed to leave the sanctuary during service for anything but an emergency, so I grabbed my little sister by the hand and said, "Let's go to the bathroom."
We went out the back of the sanctuary and STAYED there, listening and watching from behind the double doors. Imagine my horror when the preacher started walking towards the back where we were "hiding."
There were several older people back there standing around and the preacher walked through the double doors. He shook everybody's hands and asked how we were doing.
Now you have got to understand...this man was a BIG man and the anointing was on him so strongly that you could FEEL the power of the Lord as he walked by, so when he shook my hand, I blurted out, "My Granddaddy is Rev. John D Carter." He just looked at me and smiled and then went back into the sanctuary.
Yes, I thought "salvation by association" worked the same as "guilt by association."
The Lord finally got through to me that it didn't work that way. So in 1973...June 3rd to be exact, as a young teenager, I finally found out what everyone had been so thrilled about during my childhood.
I wish I could say everything was fine and dandy after that...just me and the Lord...and I never looked back.
Unfortunately, after I married and started raising a family, I put my relationship with the Lord in a box. I placed that box way up high on a shelf and only took it down when I needed something.
How I hurt Him, so many times...
When my boys were young, we got involved with a great church and soon grew to love and cherish the family of God that worshipped there. (I have just recently connected with some of these precious people via Facebook and it is so thrilling to read what has been going on in their lives).
God blessed us greatly during this time and I was able to become a SAHM by babysitting my young nephews. I helped tend the SS nursery class, taught a middle school FTH class, and wrote, directed and performed in several drama productions. I sincerely loved the Lord and serving in the church, but things were still not quite right.
Pride slowly came into the picture and glory that should have gone only to the Lord, was being tucked away, piece by piece in the back of my head. By the time I left, my head was so big a 10 gallon hat would not have even fit.
I stopped listening to the Lord and started listening to people. My faith was replaced with works, I eventually stopped going to church, and just walked away from everything I knew was right. That joy and peace that had been filled to overflowing was now dried up and practically nonexistent.
I didn't turn to a life of crime or anything like that, but what I DIDN'T do made the road home become a long and winding path. I turned my back on the One that had given His life for me, and basically said, "I can make it on my own."
Obviously I couldn't make it on my own, and like the prodigal son, I came back down that long road home, where my Father ran to meet me with open arms. As I cried and begged for forgiveness and my body trembled in shame, He reminded me that I would always be His child. He led me to His table and fed my soul till it was overflowing again.
Now every day is made up of fresh new moments of experiencing the love of God and learning to LISTEN and OBEY. Miraculous things have happened and I am excitedly anticipating things to come.
My greatest desire is to grow closer to the Lord, learn from His word, and shine His light to those I meet. So...
I believe I'll testify,
God's been good to me.
Through every test and trial,
I've got the victory.
The enemy has tried his best
To make me turn around and bring me down.
But my God's never failed me yet so
I'm gonna stand my ground.
No matter what comes my way,
I'll lift my voice and say

More Windows 8 Opportunities
The Windows Developer Camps are a great first step toward developing for Windows 8, but whether you're just starting or are well on your way with your own app, check out the Metro Accelerator Labs.
While the Windows Developer Camps focus on education via sessions and hands-on labs, the Metro Accelerator Labs are focused on your apps, featuring an environment to let you code with experts on hand to help you with any questions (and plenty of food, too.)
Then, as you ready your app for prime time, look toward the Application Excellence Labs. These are your chance have your app reviewed and potentially earn a token to allow you to submit it early to the Windows Store – an opportunity you really shouldn't miss!
Happy Windows 8 coding!

Depression and binge eating may go hand in hand among teenage girls.
New research shows that teen girls who are depressed are twice as likely to binge eat or overeat. The converse is also true: Teen girls who binge eat or overeat are two times more likely to become depressed than their counterparts who don't show signs of problematic eating.
Binge eating is often accompanied by feelings of guilt and shame that may lead to depression. Many people who are depressed may turn to food for comfort.
The study, which appears in the Journal of Adolescent Health, may have some important implications for the treatment and prevention of depression and binge eating.
"If you notice that your daughter is down and depressed, talk to her and try to see if she is using food to feel better," suggests researcher Alison E. Field, ScD. She is an associate in medicine at Children's Hospital in Boston.
In the four-year study, girls who said they ate a very large amount of food in a short period of time at least once a month during the last year were considered overeaters. Binge eaters were girls who said they felt out of control while overeating at least once a month during the past year.
While not all of the teen girls in the study had full-blown eating disorders, binge eating and overeating may set the stage for developing one. "They are on their way, and it's much better to try to stop early this early," Field says.

Evacuations have extended to at least next Saturday in the aftermath of the train derailment in Paulsboro, N.J. The announcement was made today during a press conference. Unified command members made the decision to extend the evacuation period to ensure the continued safety of the public, according to officials.
Federal investigators say Conrail crews studied reported signal problems at a Paulsboro, New Jersey railroad bridge the day before a derailment that caused a toxic chemical leak.
The derailment Friday sent dozens of people to a hospital. More than 100 remain out of their homes Sunday amid evacuation orders.
Officials say there are still rail cars holding vinyl chloride and potential hazards remain. Evacuation area boundaries remain at the following locations:
- Railroad Avenue (North)
- E. Broad/Crown Point Road (South)
- Mantua Creek (East)
- North Delaware Street (West)
Officials continue to investigate the cause of the derailment. The joint investigation, which began Saturday, is being conducted by the U.S Coast Guard, NJ Department of Environmental Protection, NJ Office of Emergency Management, Paulsboro Township police and fire departments, and representatives from Conrail. The National Transportation Safety Board is focusing on signal problems at the swing-arm bridge over a creek in Paulsboro.
NTSB Chairman Deborah Hersman says Conrail crews had been having trouble getting a "go" signal in recent days. Sensors on the bridge control the signal.
Hersman says the crew involved in the crash Friday examined the tracks and got permission from a dispatcher to proceed when they could not get a green light.
Conrail, which owns and operates the bridge, says it is cooperating with the NTSB.
U.S. & World
Emergency officials were back in Paulsboro, New Jersey Sunday to determine the exact cause of the train derailment and chemical spill, which sickened 71 people and forced more than 100 people from their homes.
Officials say they want to try and pump vinyl chloride out of a damaged tanker. They also plan to use a crane to remove the derailed cars.
"It's important for us to get access to the site because we want to thoroughly access the wreckage, document the condition of the bridge, the track, the condition of those cars. we know the breached car, the hole was caused by a puncture by another tank car. We want to make sure we understand how the tank car failed and how the pileup occurred. It will be important for us to get on scene to document, but we have good tools to do that once the scene is safe," said Hersman during a news conference Sunday morning.
Evacuation orders are still in place for 106 residents who were ordered to leave their homes when the disaster occurred Friday morning. They will remain in effect until at least Saturday, December 8. Residents not staying at area hotels were directed to the Paulsboro Fire Department located at 1502 Swedesboro Avenue where a family assistance center has been set up. The number for assistance and information is (800) 230-7049.
Students and staff at the Guardian Angels Regional School's Paulsboro campus are being asked to report to the Gibbstown Campus Monday and Tuesday, according the school's website. The Guardian Angels School and Head Start Center will remain closed through Friday. All Paulsboro public schools will be open. Active air monitoring will be conducted throughout the day to ensure air quality remains safe.
The Gateway Communications Center will be closed for the week. Municipal Courts will be canceled Monday. Local law enforcement officials will make notifications to all those affected.
City and county have several systems in place to reach out and inform the public about changes to the evacuation area. The public is asked to stay alert to the local media and the existing public alert systems for updates to the evacuation area and other important information.

We need a replacement for PMFax. You can't buy a new version and the existing version needs a refresh.
Is there anything which can be used instead of PMFax. I'm now looking at Windowsfax programs because I can't buyPMFax and as some of our sites only have a server it means replacingOS/2 or eCS with Windows PCs.

Luckily for the rest of us, we won't have to sit through just over a year of the R&D storyline to see the 2010 ROUSH Mustang go from concept to car. The SPEED channel will soon broadcast a behind-the-curtain look at the making of the fifth installment in the ROUSH Mustang legacy. Several clips were assembled for a comprehensive look at some areas which are normally off-limits to the public such as the modeling studios, the assembly line, and the Cooper Tire & Vehicle Test Center.
