Montenegro Travel Information
The Basics
Electrical current in Montenegro is 220 volts, 50Hz. Two-prong round pin attachment plugs are in use.
Montenegrin (very similar to Croatian) is the official language of Montenegro, although Serbian and Albanian is commonly used in some areas. English is widely understood in the capital, Podgorica, and in the coastal resorts.
Travel Health
Montenegro is generally a healthy country with few risks. Only bottled or purified water should be consumed, and food should be well prepared and well cooked. Those intending to hike in the countryside should take precautions against ticks. Medical facilities in Montenegro are limited, and supplies are lacking. Medical insurance with evacuation cover is strongly recommended. There are some private clinics in Podgorica, which treat travellers, but payment in cash is expected. A reciprocal health agreement entitles visitors from the UK to free emergency treatment.
Service charges are generally not included in restaurant and hotel bills in Montenegro. A tip of 10% is appreciated. Taxi drivers do not expect tips; but a small gratuity would be appreciated.
Safety Information
Montenegro is a safe destination for travellers, although it is wise to take sensible precautions against street crime in the towns and cities, as you would in any other European country. Travellers should note that car thieves tend to target four-wheel-drive and luxury vehicles and that unexploded landmines may still remain along the Kosovo border, so necessary precautions should be taken.
Local Customs
Wearing shorts is not permitted inside public institutions such as hospitals and dress should be modest when visiting monasteries in Montenegro. There are designated nudist beaches and over-exposure is frowned upon elsewhere. Being drunk in public is considered in bad taste, as is discussing national politics and ethnic issues. Littering is considered the ultimate insult.
Business relationships in Montenegro are founded on hospitality, so expect to be wined and dined. Dress is formal and conservative, and handshakes are the norm at the beginning and end of meetings. Business hours are generally between 8am and 4pm.
The international dialling code for Montenegro is +382 (the previous code of +381 is still in use). The outgoing dialling code is 99. There are local area codes (Podgorica is (0)81). The telephone system is undergoing modernization with digital lines being slowly introduced. There is good GSM mobile network coverage throughout the country provided by two operators. There are Wi-Fi Internet zones available in Podgorica and all the main towns have Internet cafes, charging around €1 an hour.
Duty Free
The following can be brought into Montenegro without paying duty: 200 cigarettes or 50 cigars or 250g tobacco; two litres of wine and 750ml of spirits; perfume for personal use; personal jewellery and clothing; up to two cameras and one movie/video camera; electronic equipment (such as radio) for personal use; and sports equipment. Pets can be brought into the country with a veterinary certificate of good health.

2009 World Baseball Classic……Current and Former Rays Players
With the World Baseball Classic also about to have members of their teams report to their respective training sites within the next 2 weeks, I was wondering what current and past Rays might be included in the countries rosters. Now the list I am about to throw out here will be based on the provisional 45-man roster that was due a few weeks ago. People will come and go from this roster, and also might not make it onto the 25-man roster that will fill each teams squad when they begin their games.
The Rays have a total of 8 members who were originally selected for the WBC's squad 45-man rosters. Now we all know that certain members of the team, like current Rays first baseman Carlos Pena ( Dominican Republic ) will not be attending the training camp due to a recent surgery to fix some lower abdominal tearing suffered during 2008. Pena underwent minor surgery in Philadelphia ( of all places ) on January 8th and will be ready for Spring Training. Also skipping the Classic will be Rays starting pitcher Matt Garza. He was originally selected by the Mexican squad, but Garza had off season surgery in November 2008 to repair an old foot fracture on his right foot. According to Fox Sports on MSN, the team did not grant him a medical clearance to play in the classic. According to WBC rules, MLB players who undergo off season surgery are normally ineligible unless their clubs specifically give them clearance to take part in the event. At this moment, the Rays medical staff or the team have not granted this clearance to Garza.
Recently, Venezuela lost one of their two provisional catchers on January 20th when Rays current catcher Dioner Navarro decided he was not going to participate in the Classic. That will leave the squad a little thin at the position with Cleveland Indian catcher Victor Martinez the only one currently on the roster. Navarro did catch all 16 games in the 2008 Playoffs and the extra rest might do him good. Also considering he is going to his first arbitration hearing on February 9th, it might just be a nice good faith gesture to the Rays on his 2009 commitment to the team.
With those three players coming to the new Spring Training site in Port Charlotte, Florida for sure for the Rays, it will still leave 5 members participating for the team in the Classic. Another player who has garnished a lot of attention recently is Australian Grant Balfour. The Rays hard talking and hard throwing right-hander recently agreed to a one-year contract to stay out of arbitration with the team. It has not been announced if the contract would enable him to play in the Classic, or report to the Rays training facility instead.
If Balfour is able to pitch for the team, he will probably be their designated closer, and will certainly be worth the price of admission to just hear him chat it up with the ball on the mound. Balfour came into the public eye around the country more during the American League Divisional Series when Chicago White Sox shortstop Orlando Caberera took exception to Balfour's shouting on the mound to be towards him and not the ball. Since that time he has widely photographed on the mound, and sound bytes have been recorded of his mound conversations between pitches.
Even though the Australian team might have one of the most colorful players in the Classic in Balfour, his team has been pitted in the group with Cuba and Mexico in the first round. The games, being played in Mexico City could be a tough test for the young squad. If the Aussies were to fall out after the first round, the Rays could have Balfour in camp around March 14th.
The United States team will have their share of youth courtesy of the Rays when they selected pitchers Scott Kazmir and J P Howell for the team. Also making the 45-man roster is 2008 Rookie-of-the-Year third baseman Evan Longoria. Many people think that Longoria might not make the 25-man squad with the likes of New York Met David Wright and the Atlanta Braves Chipper Jones. But Longoria also might make it as a bench player based on his outstanding rookie season and his timely hitting for the Rays during their playoff run.
With both Wright and Jones selected on the team, the Rays might also see Longoria by February 23rd when the positional players are mandated to report to their complex. The situation between Scott Kazmir and J P Howell might have a different scenario entirely. On the US's initial 45-man provisional roster, Kazmir is 1 of 3 starting left-handed pitchers on the squad. He will be joined by southpaws Roy Oswalt of the Houston Astros and Jake Peavy of the San Diego Padres. I can see all three pitchers making the squad without a problem.
When pitcher Jon Lackey of the Los Angels Angels announced he was not going to participate in the Classic, Kazmir might have been given a chance of making the 25-man roster on February 24th, and with the current pitching rules it might just be a more intense spring training outing for the leftie. the current WBC rules call for starting pitchers to only throw 70 pitches in the first round, 85 in the round two, and up to 100 in the semi-finals and finals. The pitch count was raised this year by the WBC steering committee for the 2008 games.
This might actually be good considering that might be the pitch count the Rays might also have for their pitchers in their first few starts of the spring. Kazmir might even get an early shot to start with Team Canada having a mostly left-handed lineup in the Opener in Toronto on March 7th, or he could see action in Team USA's thrid game, which might be a winner-moves-on rematch with Canada in the double elimination round. But whatever does happen for either of the Rays pitchers', you can be sure that the Rays will have scouts at every game that Kazmir and Howell might pitch in to watch their progress or spot and impending injury.
Rays reliever J P Howell made a name for himself in 2008 by giving up his dream as a starter and concentrating on his reliever skills. What it got him in 2008 was a banner year for the southpaw with a chance to play for his country. Among the relievers for the U S team, Howell is one of 5 current southpaws on the provisional roster. Howell has a nasty curve that is only a few clicks slower than his fastball. This has been is deception to hitters in 2008, but will the same magic come early for him during the classic.
With the US roster having heavyweights like Matt Thorton of the White Sox, B J Ryan of the Blue Jays, George Sherill of the Baltimore Orioles and closer Brian Fuentes of the Angels, the team might be stacked high with left handers prior to the Feb 24th cut down date for their 25-man roster. But the addition of Howell with his off-speed pitches might be the answer for the hard throwing starters and relievers in the US pitching staff. The WBC currently doesn't stipulate any hard rules concerning the relievers, but a rule that was instituted this year might come into play down the road. If any pitcher throws 30 or more pitches in the semi-final, he will not be eligible for the finals. Hopefully that rule will not play out for any of the Rays pitcher, or the U S during the Classic.
That leaves one more Rays player to talk about, and he is playing for the reigning WBC champions. Akinora Iwamura played in 6 games in the 2006 Classic and batted .389 for the Japanese team. Iwamura has not officially not committed to the squad, but he did suffer a hamstring injury during the 2006 Classic and might consider pulling his name from the roster. He is the one Rays player currently on the fence about playing in the Classic. The players are also reporting earlier to the Pool "A" training sites because they play the first games of the Classic starting on March 5th.
But several ex-Rays players will be competing for spots among the WBC participants. Playing for Team Australia,with Balfour will be left-hand pitcher Damion Moss, who went 0-1, with a 13.5 ERA in the 2006 Classic. Team Italy will have two former Rays in journeyman catcher Sal Fasano and infielder Robert Fick, who are both trying to make their first WBC rosters. Team Canada will have former Rays catcher Pete La Forest, who hit .300 during the 2006 Classic in 3 games for the squad. Team Dominican Republic could have former Rays outfielder Jose Guillen when they finalize their roster on February 24th.
Team Korea will have former Rays starting pitcher Jae Seo on their squad. Seo started 3 games in 2006 and pitched to a 2-0 record and a 0.64 ERA in 14 innings for the Korean team. Team Mexico will feature current Florida Marlin and ex-Rays Jorge Cantu in their infield. Cantu played in 6 games in 2006, and hit .333, with 2 home runs and 8 RBI's for Team Mexico. The Puerto Rican squad will feature two former Rays who might not make the finals squads in catcher Raul Casanova, who played for the New York Mets last season, and ex-Rays and Cincinnati Reds catcher Javier Valentin, who played first base for 3 games in the 2006 classic hitting .500 in those games.
Rounding out th
e squads will be former Rays pitcher Victor Zambrano, and Rays Expansion pick Bobby Abreu for the Venezuelan squad. Zambrano and Abreu both participated in 2006. Zambrano played mostly in relief for the squad throwing 2.2 innings and posting a 3.38 ERA, with 3 strikeouts. Abreu, a Rays for only a short time before being traded to the Philadelphia Philles for Kevin Stocker, played in 6 games and hit only .150 in the Classic. So as you can see the Rays have a decent history of ex-player playing in the WBC for their respective countries.
The WBC begins with Pool "A" getting started on March 5th in Tokyo, Japan with Japan versus China in the first contest. The Classic will conclude on March 23, 2009 in Dodger Stadium. With good luck and no injuries suffered during the Classic by the Rays players participating, the team might have all their players in camp by March 24th, with 10 games left in their Spring Training schedule. The Rays will get a glance at the 2009 Puerto Rican squad when they square off at Charlotte Sports Park in Port Charlotte, Florida on March 5th at 7:05 p.m.
Up in the Tampa Bay area, the locals can take in games featuring the World Champion Philadelphia Phillies against Team Canada on March 4th at 12:05 p.m., and Team USA on March 5th at 1:05 p.m, with both games being played at Bright House Field in Clearwater, Florida. Also in Pinellas County, the Toronto Blue Jays will get first crack at the Tam Canada squad on March 3rd at 1:05 p.m., with a Team USA contest set for March 4th at 1:05 p.m., both games at Dunedin Stadium in Dunedin, Florida. And New York Yankees faithfuls can come out and watch their boys take on Team USA first on March 3rd at 1:15 p.m., and Team Canada on March 5th at 1:15 p.m. in Tampa, Florida at George Steinbrenner Field.

I remember the Rays-White Sox game when Caberera took exception to Balfour's chatting. If he does play for Team Australia it will be interesting to see how players from other countries take to his talking. I know that many players are excited to represent their countries, but I can understand some of the teams being concerned about their players getting hurt. The Red Sox have ask Puerto Rico not to include Mike Lowell on their roster and I believe that David Ortiz is also not playing. I am looking forward to watching the games – it will finally be nice to have baseball to watch! Thanks for a great blog!
It looks as though the Rays will be pretty well represented in the WBC, even if some of the biggest stars have declined to participate. I don't blame them, I kind of worry about Justin Morneau (who is playing for Team Canada) and Joe Nathan (Team USA) getting hurt; the Twins would be screwed! Still, the WBC should be interesting, though. Go Team USA!
The way the rules are set up for pitching, it should not be a concern unless they hurt themselves during the WBC.
Now field players will have to watch themselves a little closer to keep from getting those nagging hamstrings and shoulder injuries that can happen early in the spring. It will be interesting to see what happens in Pool C with the first round in Toronto. Hopefully the roof will be closed.

I actually like that rule where the WBC will not let a player play if the had any type of off season surgery or treatment without team consent. That should keep people from hiding injuries, or saying their healthy when they might still have pain or a strain.
Lowell and Ortiz of all people should not partake in it for the simple reason that the Red Sox medical team needs to pretty much evaluate them daily because of their injury situations in 2008. Lowell would not hurt as much as Ortiz, but you want Kevin Youkilis at first base if you can get him there.

Press Release
Governor Linda Lingle today submitted to the State Legislature the Administration's plan to meet a projected $650 million revenue shortfall for the remainder of the current fiscal year (FY09) and biennium budget fiscal years 2010 through 2011.
The Administration's plan balances the budget without raising taxes, without any layoffs or furloughs of state employees, and without making significant cuts to essential public services or programs. It combines the use of federal stimulus funds, tobacco funds, interest from and charges to various special funds, adjustments to selected benefits for state employees, and further tightening Act 221 tax credits.
"While we are working to take maximum advantage of the federal funds available through the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act, the additional federal funds alone will not be sufficient to close the projected revenue shortfall," said Governor Lingle.
"In developing this balanced budget plan, our top priorities were to ensure we do not take any more taxpayer money out of the economy to support government, that we not add to the state's unemployment by laying off employees, that we preserve essential public services, and that we continue to invest available resources in projects that will create jobs in the near term and achieve our long-term priorities such as energy independence. This budget accomplishes those goals," the Governor added.
In December, Governor Lingle submitted her Administration's FY10-FY11 biennium budget which included a detailed plan to make up for a $1.1 billion revenue shortfall projected by the Council on Revenues. On January 9, 2009, the Council lowered its revenue projections further by an additional $650 million for FY09, FY10 and FY11.
The Governor subsequently submitted an $81 million plan to close the FY09 shortfall through a combination of transferring funds from various special funds, including the rainy day fund, implementing additional restrictions on discretionary spending and utilizing additional federal reimbursements for Medicaid.
"Over the past year, we have made difficult but necessary decisions to reduce spending to ensure the state lives within its means," the Governor said. "At the same time, unprecedented national and global fiscal and economic challenges continue to impact our local economy and these realities mandate that we cannot continue to operate in a business-as-usual manner.
"We also must resist the impulse to raise taxes and fees because Hawai'i's families and small businesses are facing unprecedented challenges. We must ensure they keep as much of their money as possible."
The Governor pointed out that additional budget adjustments will likely be needed when the Council on Revenues meets again on March 12, because it is anticipated that the Council will revise its revenue forecasts downward.
In addition to the plan to close the FY09 shortfall, the Administration is proposing the following nine action items to provide the state with additional general fund revenues needed to close the revenue shortfall:
Utilize federal stimulus Medicaid funds. Nearly half of the shortfall will be covered by an estimated $320 million in Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (FMAP) funds. The matching federal funds for treating Medicaid patients are part of the $15 billion in Medicaid assistance being made available to the states under the recently passed federal stimulus plan. Hawai'i is scheduled to receive $106.7 million for FY09, $142.2. million in FY10 and $71.1 million in FY11. As of last week, states were allowed to start accessing FMAP funds (Impact: $320 million, FY09-FY11.)
Redistribute a portion of the Tobacco Settlement Funds. The Administration supports a bill (HB1731) currently before the Legislature to reallocate the distribution of the Tobacco Settlement Special Fund, including depositing 14 percent into the state's general fund. This action would add $7 million per year to the state's revenues. (Impact: $14 million, FY10-FY11.)
Transfer tobacco tax revenues to the general fund. The Administration supports a bill (HB1732) currently before the Legislature which would allow the use of tobacco tax revenues. The redistribution of the tobacco tax is expected to add $33 million to the state's general fund in the upcoming biennium. (Impact: $33 million, FY10-FY11.)
Advance the general excise tax filing date. The Administration supports a bill (HB1735) currently before the Legislature to change the filing date for the general excise monthly tax return from the last day of the calendar month following the month in which taxes accrue to the 20th day of that month. The earlier collection of taxes within the fiscal year will generate a one-time revenue gain of $40 million in FY11. (Impact: $40 million, FY11.)
Remove the exemption for certain special funds from assessments. The Administration proposes removing a provision that currently exempts certain special funds from paying their fair share of assessments to support central services and departmental administrative expenses. A bill (HB1740) currently before the Legislature would remove the exemption for all but a handful of special funds, including the Hawai'i Hurricane Relief Fund, Convention Center Enterprise Special Fund and Tourism Special Fund. The Administration supports this measure, but proposes also allowing the following special funds to retain the exemption from assessments: State Educational Facilities Improvement Special Fund, Hawai'i Health Systems Corporation Special Fund and University of Hawai'i Special Fund. This action would result in an additional $9.8 million annually. (Impact: $19.6 million, FY10-FY11.)
Transfer interest earned on certain special funds to the general fund. The Administration supports a measure (HB1733) before the Legislature to allow the transfer of interest earned on investments of special funds, revolving funds and special accounts into the general fund. This action would not impact the amount in these funds that are generated through user fees or charges. The use of the interest earnings would result in an estimated $38.2 million in general fund revenues. (Impact: $38.2 million, FY10-FY11.)
Discontinue employer-funded group life insurance. The Administration supports a bill (HB1726) currently before the Legislature to prevent the Hawai'i Employer-Union Health Benefit Trust Fund (EUTF) from providing group life insurance benefits if the premiums are paid for by the state or a county. Currently, the employer (the state or a county) pays the entire premium for the life insurance benefit. Premiums are more expensive than paying death benefits directly to survivors. Discontinuing this practice would save the state $4.1 million in FY10 and $4.3 million in FY11. (Impact: $8.4 million, FY10-FY11.)
Seek adjustments to the EUTF health benefits plan. The Administration will seek adjustments to the current Employer-Union Health Benefit Trust Fund health plan through collective bargaining negotiations. If the current health benefits plan is sustained, with the state covering 60 percent of the cost, the premiums will increase by an estimated 29.4 percent. This proposal would not affect retirees and their dependent beneficiaries. This effort would provide a cost savings of approximately $48 million per year. (Impact: $96 million, FY10-FY11.)
Further tighten Act 221 to reduce tax credits to investors in technology businesses. Rather than allowing investors to get back a full dollar for each dollar they invest, investors will receive 50 cents for each dollar invested, sharing their risk with state taxpayers. This effort will save an estimated $43.9 in the biennium. (Impact: $43.9 million, FY10-FY11.)
In addition to closing the revenue shortfall over the next two years, the Administration is also focused on ensuring long-term fiscal stability for the state. The Administration supports a bill (HB1715) currently before the Legislature to increase by five years the minimum retirement age and minimum length of service before a state employee can receive full service retirement benefits. The measure would only apply to employees who enter public service on or after July 1, 2009. The annual savings for this proposal starting in FY2013 is approximately $39 million.

The War
on Poverty
The War on Poverty..
What is it?
by Frank E. Mullen
Poverty Programs... A Business
Management Approach
by Jean-Paul A. Ruff
Editor's Note:
The War on Poverty, like most wars, has its share of
staunch supporters as well as vociferous opponents. Like
most wars, (and like most businesses) it requires skillful
management for its ultimate success. Most of the current
debate about the War on Poverty program stems from
disagreements with the way the resources appropriated
for the program are being used or managed. Touche, Ross,
Bailey & Smart has applied modern management techniques
to business, as well as to social action programs
(See "Business Management Methods in Social Action
Programs" in the June 1965 Quarterly). For this reason,
the firm has been engaged by the City of Detroit to help
make the management of its War on Poverty program
more effective.
Frank Mullen and Jean-Paul Ruff, from our Detroit
Management Services staff, have attempted in the following
two articles to give you a clear picture of the War on
Poverty program and to describe the management system
they are trying to develop for Detroit. We hope you will
find in these articles some new insights into management
problems involved in a dynamic social action program.
They also represent the contribution professional management
advisors can make to the solution of these social
and community problems.

A Closing Chapter to Dell? Icahn Throws in Towel

I too enjoyed the Avantgarde Duo Mezzo Demo but could not help noticing how the ideal seating position was exactly dead center. Movement 12 inches to either side, eliminated the magic. I don't believe the majority of the crowd appreciated this phenomenon. Is this beaming or a regular characteristic of the Avantgarde? Respectfully Dave H.
Avantgarde Gets Better With Time
The warm-up phenomenon—where a system sounds better after it's been on for some time, the time being much longer than would be accounted for by anything in the measured performance—is well-known to audiophiles, and it often manifests itself at shows. This was the case with the system in the Avantgarde room: Avantgarde Duo Mezzo loudspeakers ($47,250/pair), Avantgarde One preamp ($37,500) and One power amp ($45,000), with Brinkmann analog and Audio Aero digital front ends. I heard the system early on the first day of the show, and although it didn't sound bad, it didn't sound as great as I'd heard Avantgarde speakers sounding. Could it be the room or perhaps the setup? Avantgarde Acoustics designer Matthias Ruff was on hand; between him and Jody Hickson of Globe Marketing, Avantgarde's new North American distributor, they should have been able to sort out the setup, but the sound was definitely disappointing, being on the dry side, a characteristic I don't associate with Avantgarde speakers.
I went back to listen late on the second day of the show, and it was quite a sonic transformation. The warmth I was expecting had returned, and, combined with the effortless dynamics, made for a much more relaxing listening experience. Jody told me that they hadn't changed the setup; it was just the electronics taking a long time to warm up sonically.
I bought these and initially installed them in my bathroom. I too found them to be slow to warm up sonically, wich was really impractical and gave me both hemorroids and made me run out of hot water whilst showering.I decided to move them into the livingroom. Due to the tweeter horns being extremely directional, I invested in an operating table for brain surgery. This way I could mount my head a few inches right of the sweet spot, to compensate for the fact that I´m not right in my head.Like anyone else paying fifty grand for a pair of insanely ugly speakers with a fancy name, I´m only remotely interested in music - I am more into "good sound". I own 12 CD´s which I bought because some HiFi magazines wrote that the tracks were recorded on an extremely expensive recording equipement. The science of "good sound" is so complex that there are no measuring devices good enough to discriminate it from "slightly less good sound" nor are there any theory precise enough to expla

MET Powder Bluebell Sh-t: Vera Farmiga
Her dress at the Oscars was rather unpopular. And now this at the Costume Institute Gala. So ... is it official? To declare that Vera Farmiga has bad taste?
Even if you don't mind the colour (to me it's offensive), and even if you can forgive those bo peep bonnet sleeves (they're embarrassing), and even if you can overlook those tacky aunt curtains hanging off the bottom (come into my saloon!), how can you possibly justify that limp ass ribbon dangling between her breasts? It doesn't look properly tied. Up close it doesn't even look properly finished. I mean... is it fraying??? Already???
We will fight over a lot of people today. We will yell at each other until we can no longer breathe. But I am confident that that we won't be fighting about this. This is universally ass.

That is until he experienced the Fight for Air Climb in Springfield February 2011. "Some of my cross-country friends wanted to do this race together, so we did some practice runs in the building. On race day I ended up winning with a time of 2:21," he proudly describes.
Since it was Stewart's first race, he raced in the second half of the group behind the elite and top racers. "When the race was over, one of the elite guys, PJ Glassey, came up to me to see if it was a timing error, and when he realized it was legitimate, he gave me his business card," states Stewart.
More: Vertical Training vs. Horizontal Training
It had a snowball effect on him. "I loved stair climb races and went to St. Louis and won and then Los Angeles for the AON climb and won there. By the end of 2011 I was ranked ninth in the world," says Stewart.
Stewart says he went into the sport blindly. "I would advise someone new to the sport to mix up their training with cycling, CrossFit, lifting, running and plyometrics. It's not like running, you can't just climb stairs constantly or you burn out," Stewart shares.
More: Meet the Elite Women Stair Climbers, Pt.1
This year Stewart completely crushed his own records. He broke his 2011 record at the Springfield event by 14 seconds. "That is the equivalent of cutting two minutes from an 800-meter race. I continued to climb the ultimate, which is climbing continuously for a remaining hour." He climbed the 32 floors 13 times total.
Of his racing he says, "As a runner I found my niche in the middle to long distances. Yet as a stair climber I came into the sport as a sprinter. A sprinter in the stair climbing world likes a building with 30 to 40 floors. In my opinion 30 to 40 floors is a sprint race, 40 to 60 is a middle-distance race and anything above 60 just plain hurts."
To finish 2012, Stewart plans on racing as many master races as possible to get as many points as possible. Even though he and the other elite racers are extremely competitive, they all agree on one thing—friendship is key.
"The biggest thing in this sport is the camaraderie that I feel with this close knit group. On trips, we do everything to help each other out and we always have dinners together the night before a race. It is really unique," says Stewart.

Chippenham Lit Fest
I had a fantastic time last night at the Chippenham Library, taking part in a panel talk which in turn was part of the Chippenham Lit Fest. It's always lovely to get together with fellow RNA members and much more fun when you're not alone doing a talk!
There were six of us – Nicola Cornick, Louise Douglas, Alison Knight, Jean Burnett, Teresa F Morgan and myself – on the panel. There were some fab questions from the librarian in charge and also from the audience, and it's always fun to hear the varying answers of so many authors – we're all so different in the way we approach things!
There was delicious home-made cake and other refreshments, and lots of chatting afterwards. All in all, a really enjoyable event so huge thanks to everyone who took part and organised it!
Here are some of my photos:-

Brian Colquhoun asks:
Isn't this assuming equal abilities? One who practices law (and is successful at it) usually has the correct mind frame. How would that be dealt with?
A more pertinent example is that of scientists. I'm fortunate enough to be relatively skilled in thinking the right way in this area, but many people can't grasp mathematics or conceptualise the non-intuitive areas of reality (and conversely I don't have the skills of, say, an architect or the built - or drive - to do any manual work). Is there a proposal as to how to exploit individual strengths in a society of this sort? How will science, or law, or architecture be done when many people inherently lack the ability or enthusiasm?
My reply:
Cool question. The basic principle of an Equal Money System, is that what is best for all, at a physical, practical and mathematical level, is that from which all decisions regarding the world are made. So for example: We determine that it is best for all that everyone has clean drinking water and that all water on earth is thus clean - then we can look at who is best at ensuring this will come about and which solutions will be the best to implement to make that happen.
It is also about self-expression, where you are perhaps educated to be good at science, but if your actual passion is to play music, you will not dedicate yourself to perfect yourself completely in science. This is how the world works now where people are forced to take educations and jobs they have absolutely no passion for and in turn end up only caring about the money and the status and not perfecting themselves or their work or even supporting what is best for all. So if you are good at science, if you enjoy doing it and perfecting yourself within it and lets say that you have a passion for water-purification solutions, you would be perfect for a position in that area.
It will be best for all, because you are the best at what you do and it will be best for all, because it is best for you too. Imagine if those who are really passionate about science could be able to work with solutions and not be restricted by policies that only serve to feed the greedy with profit. Currently each exists within a pre-determined mind-frame according to genetics and educational level - So it is not about equal abilities, because we don't need 7 billion lawyers - instead it could be cool that those who enjoy and are good at something have the opportunity to work in a field, yet where everyone has an equal opportunity, because education has been equalized.

Tom Hale is the News 12 weekend meteorologist.
I grew up in Santa Clara Valley, California, known for its serene weather. It wasn't until I was 13, when my family moved to Chicago, Illinois that I fell passionately in love with weather. I remember getting off the plane, it was a hot and oppressively humid summer day and I hated it. But my attitude quickly changed as towering Cumulonimbus clouds developed, growing 50,000 feet into the afternoon sky. The heavy rain, driving winds, lightning and hail were breathtaking. Yes, I was hooked.
I began watching all the weather I could on the local Chicago TV Stations. I soon became a weather observer with my Thermometer and Rain Gage. Every day I would call the television stations and report my town's high/low temperatures and rainfall.
During High School and College I had two weather mentors. WGN Chicago Meteorologist Harry Volkman, who in 1954 broadcast the nation's first televised tornado warning over WKY-TV (now KFOR-TV) in Oklahoma City; and WLS Chicago Meteorologist John Coleman.
I followed in Harry's footsteps, graduating from his Alma Mater, the University of Tulsa. While still in college I forecast the weather on TV in Fort Smith, AR. After College, my first fulltime TV weather job was in beautiful Colorado Springs, CO.
Wanting to return to Chicago I accepted a chief Meteorologist position in Green Bay, WI. When the chance to work at WLS Chicago with my mentor John Coleman opened up I jumped on it. John joined Good Morning America and then went on to found the Weather Channel. I moved on to the KPIX San Francisco near Santa Clara Valley. I thought I had come full circle.
Fascinated by Tropical Weather, I accepted the Chief Meteorologist position in Orlando, FL, where I was awarded the American Meteorological Society Seal of Approval (AMS Seal #280).
In 1999, I joined NewsRadio 1080 KRLD and TSN as Staff Meteorologist. Since moving to Texas I have led countless hours of severe weather coverage. Under my watch, 1080 KRLD has been the recipient of four Edward R. Murrow awards for breaking news and continuous coverage of severe weather, including one for the 2007 Sherman, Denison & Gainesville Floods.
Some say the love of weather is part of my DNA. My grandfather was born September 8th 1900 in the "Storm of the Century", the great Galveston Texas Hurricane. He was given the middle name "Storm". I was adopted by the HALE family.
Finally full circle … TV Meteorologist in TEXOMA! My wife, Marilynn, and I are truly fortunate to be part of the 12 Media Family.

Wealth Transfer Estimates for African American Households
center on wealth and philanthopy
This study presents new information on wealth and wealth transfer within the African-American community. The first section presents an overview of the findings. The second section presents selected statistical patterns and trends in income, wealth, and philanthropic giving among African-American households. This section includes estimates of the amount and distribution of wealth among African American households. It provides an essential context for understanding the estimates of wealth transfer presented in the third section. The third section deals with the capacity of African American households to make charitable gifts and to leave charitable bequests in the 55 year period from 2001 to 2055. Using an expanded and updated version of the CWP's Wealth Transfer Microsimulation Model (WTMM), the report presents the first estimates of wealth transfer among African American households.
In 2001, there were 13.2 million African-American households in the U.S. By examining the major findings concerning recent trends in the financial resources and philanthropy of African-American households, the distribution of wealth and rates of growth in wealth among African-American households, and the estimates of wealth transfer among African American households, the study attempts to paint an accurate financial picture of the African American household, both today and in the future. A preliminary version of analysis paper is available for download now.

Red Aluminum SSQV/SQV Blow Off Valve TYA2+Red 80 Degree Curve BOV Flange Pipe
The Blow-Off valve (BOV) is a pressure relief device on the intake tract to prevent the turbo compressor from going into surge. When the throttle is closed rapidly, the airflow is quickly reduced, causing flow instability and pressure fluctuations. Surge can eventually lead to thrust bearing failure due to the high loads associated with it. Blow-Off valves use a combination of manifold pressure signal and spring force to detect when the throttle is closed. When the throttle is closed rapidly, the BOV vents boost in the intake tract to atmosphere to relieve the pressure, helping to eliminate surge.

SACRAMENTO - State prison officials and the FBI on Sunday escorted death row inmate Wesley Shermantine to Linden in an ongoing search for the remains of murder victims he and boyhood friend Loren Herzog discarded over a 15-year killing spree.
SACRAMENTO - State prison officials and the FBI on Sunday escorted death row inmate Wesley Shermantine to Linden in an ongoing search for the remains of murder victims he and boyhood friend Loren Herzog discarded over a 15-year killing spree.
Assemblywoman Cathleen Galgiani, D-Stockton, late Monday confirmed the search had taken place after pressuring Matt Cate, secretary of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, to act on a new law she authored.
Galgiani expressed to Cate in a blistering five-page letter her disgust that officials in his office and San Joaquin County Sheriff Steve Moore allegedly have subverted other agencies' efforts to recover victims from their jurisdictions linked to the two killers.
A long list of people searching for missing loved ones, she said, has contacted her, asking why officials are doing nothing, despite Shermantine's tips early this year leading to the recovery of remains.
"I lay the blame at the feet of San Joaquin County Sheriff Steve Moore for his arrogance and blatant disregard of other law enforcement agencies and families with missing loved ones," Galgiani said.
San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office spokesman Deputy Les Garcia referred all questions to the FBI's Sacramento office. FBI spokeswoman Gina Swankie declined to comment.
California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation spokesman Luis Patino said his agency is reviewing Galgiani's letter. Corrections officials are complying with any law enforcement agency's request, while being careful not to compromise security and any potential investigations, he said.
Shermantine and Herzog grew up across the street from each other in Linden. They were arrested in 1999, ending their drug-fueled killing spree.
At trial, Shermantine was sentenced to death for four murders while Herzog went to prison for three, but his case was overturned on appeal, and he was released on parole in 2010.
Earlier this year, Herzog hanged himself in Lassen County, just before Shermantine's tips to The Record and bounty hunter Leonard Padilla led officials to unearth the bodies of five women and a fetus.
The bodies of Chevelle "Chevy" Wheeler and Cyndi Vanderheiden were found in remote areas of Calaveras County. The remains of JoAnn Hobson, Kimberly Billy, an unidentified woman and a fetus were found in a well off Flood Road near Linden.
Shermantine and Herzog are suspected as individuals or a duo of killing as many as 19 people.
Galgiani, who is running for a seat in the state Senate, won passage in July of a law that gives state prison officials authority to facilitate a search with an inmate, like the one used to transport Shermantine.
Until Sunday, no action had been taken, so she assembled her own task force of law enforcement officials from five jurisdictions: Stockton, Reno, Alameda, Hayward and Lake County. They met last week.
She said in her letter that if prison officials don't act within 48 hours of Monday, she will take her case to the governor on behalf of these agencies, seeking to close cold cases linked to Shermantine and Herzog.
"I am putting you on notice that if their request is not met within 48 hours, I am fully prepared to take this matter directly to the governor," her letter says.
Despite Sunday's search, Galgiani said she is prepared to act on behalf of any agency that receives resistance in the future from state prison officials.
Investigators from the Reno Police Department were rebuffed in July during their search for Terri Ann Fourcher, who vanished in 1996 at age 28 after leaving a casino.
They made a formal request to take Shermantine off death row, but a state prison official told them to "use Google Earth maps," Galgiani said.
"If I have to go to the governor to make them follow the law, that's what I will do," she said, hoping that the FBI takes the lead in the investigation so it can carefully remove any newly discovered remains.
Padilla, who has paid Shermantine some of the promised $33,000 for the first set of remains found, said a secret source of his said officials took the convict to four places in Linden.
One of the places was on Flood Road, near the well where the three victims and a fetus were found. Shermantine has said there are more wells in that grassland area that need to be explored.
Padilla said he learned Thursday of plans to take Shermantine on the search.
"At first, I was skeptical and thought that, as usual, I was being played with," he said. "Except that this source in the past has been accurate."
Shermantine in recent letters said he has grown frustrated with Padilla for not promptly sending him money. Padilla said his source said the FBI has now offered to pay Shermantine an undisclosed sum for each new body.
"That's good," Padilla said. "Now, let's see what they do."

Central campus (more or less the area around present day Curtiss Hall, Beardshear, Catt Hall, and the Campanile/Memorial Union)as it appears today.
Fall Semester classes began almost a month ago now! New Iowa State students have hopefully become more familiar with the campus and its buildings, and may have even established their favorite places to study, relax, or chat with friends. Most students have probably hurried mulitiple times through central campus on their way to a class, meeting or campus event.
As a new or long-time Iowa Stater you may or may not have taken the time to ask how and why our central campus was designed the way it is. If you did…and you are still wondering…or if you never did, and now would like to know…the Olmsted Brothers' recommendations for campus design and improvements has recently been made available online. The report might shed at least a little light on the history of central campus, and at least one impassioned controversy involved in its development!
Iowa State's central campus area in 1904. In the distance one can see Margaret Hall (girls' dormitory) to the left and Catt Hall (then Botany Hall) to the right.
The Olmsted Brothers (landscape architects and son and stepson of the famed Frederick Law Olmsted who designed New York City's Central Park – and not Iowa State's campus, as one century-old myth goes) were hired as consultants in 1906 to to give recommendations on the future plans for the campus design and layout. In A. T. Erwin's 1966 reminiscence (Professor of Horticulture, and member of the Public Grounds Committee) entitled "The Days of Yore at Iowa State", Erwin related that the passage of a mileage tax around 1900 had provided funds for major buildings of Iowa State's central campus (the reminiscence can be found in the Arthur Thomas Erwin Papers, RS 9/16/16).
According to Erwin, the number of students attending Iowa State had grown drastically from its beginnings almost fifty years ago, and even in just the previous ten years. He says that the student body was approaching the 1,000 mark in 1900, and had only been at 300 about ten years before. The campus needed additional buildings for the increased size. Erwin relates that the Buildings and Grounds Committee had discussed an overall landscape plan for an orderly development of campus, and an agreement had not been reached. Erwin then suggested to President Storms that an "outstanding landscape architect" be hired, and the Olmsted Brothers were chosen to provide recommendations.
Another view of central campus (a campus horse carriage can be seen in the foreground) in 1906, the year the Olmsted Brothers submitted their report.
Their report, which recommended that the proposed location for the Agricultural Hall be moved so that it lined up with Beardshear and recommended modifying the location of campus roads and the railway to create a more pleasing aesthetic, upset many in the campus community. In addition to the report itself, the University Archives holds the records of the Public Grounds Committee (RS 8/6/69) which contains reactions to the report, correspondence with the Olmsted brothers, and a summary of a conversation held with the Olmsted Brothers. Included is "An Appeal to the Alumni" from the Alumnus, which is the "bearer of unwelcome news" and decries the proposed changes and the destruction of the beautiful campus. The article states:
"Every graduate of the college must regret the radical change in plans for our loved, beautiful campus. This change from the natural or English-park style so carefully planned, and tried for nearly forty years on our grounds, to the formal or French style, so artificial and as we believe so unsuited to a room situation like our own, has been accepted by the authorities and the first ground was broken the latter part of September."
The controversy involved in the Olmsted brothers' report not only sheds light on people's love for the campus in the early part of the 20th century (which definitely continues today!), but is also an interesting window into one of many debates which probably occurred in this country when architectural and landscape changes were taking another major shift.
Above is a well-loved image of sheep on the central lawn near the Campanile. The photograph was taken around 1905, close to when the Olmsted Brothers wrote their report. Even though this photograph was taken over 100 years ago, when major changes were taking place on campus, one can almost picture a similar scene in the same place today. Despite all the changes, new buildings, and major increase in the number of students attending Iowa State, the central lawn has remained for students to enjoy!
In conclusion, I must point out one major misconception often stated about who designed Iowa State's early campus. Myths will inevitably start about an institution, and Iowa State is no exception! In the "Appeal to Alumni", the author mentions that the Iowa State campus was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted. As stated above, this is in fact not the case. Iowa State's first president, Adonijah Welch, designed much of the original campus. It is interesting, however, to see the long-standing assertion in an article written over 100 years ago. This myth still continues to this day, but hopefully readers of this blog post can help straighten the record! It is just one example among many of how people need to double and triple check their facts, no matter how much closer a statement was written to when the supposed fact occurred!
Another view of central campus, this time from 1897. In the distance Old Main, which burned in 1902, can be seen to the left. Morrill Hall is to the right.
To find out more about the history of the Iowa State's central campus, please take a look at the Olmsted Brothers' report now available online. The University Archives has a variety of resources for finding out more about the history of this report and other campus plans including news clippings and articles about the campus located with the Public Grounds Committee Records (RS 8/6/69), minutes of the Public Grounds Committee, 1911-1928 (RS 8/6/69), K. A. Kirckpatrick's bachelor's thesis from 1909 entitled "A Landscape Plan for the Campus of Iowa State College," (call number C Ob 1909 Kirckpatrick) and reminiscences written by Public Grounds Committee member and Professor of Horticulture Arthur Thomas Erwin which can be found in his papers (RS 9/16/16). A wonderful resource on the history of the campus and its buildings prior to 1979, H. Summerfield Day's Iowa State University's Campus and Its Buildings, 1859-1979, can be found online. We also have a collection of articles, news clippings, and other publications on campus buildings (RS 4/8/4). Writings by Iowa State's first president, who had a significant role in planning Iowa State's original grounds, can be found in the Adonijah Strong Welch Papers (RS 2/1).

"Bones" star David Boreanaz was sued Thursday by an aspiring actress who alleges he harassed her with text messages and tried to fondle her.
Kristina Hagan, who was an extra on "Bones" in August 2009, alleges that the 41-year-old actor sent her "sexually inappropriate text messages" and tried to grope her.
A spokeswoman for Boreanaz did not immediately answer an e-mail requesting comment on Hagan's Los Angeles Superior Court complaint, which alleges sexual harassment and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
U.S. & World
"Ms. Hagan was offended by the text messages, but nevertheless wanted to maintain a relationship with him because it was very important to her to secure employment as she was a struggling actress," her suit states. Hagan also alleges that after she agreed to have coffee with Boreanaz last Sept. 9 after an audition, he parked his car and attempted to kiss and grope her.
Boreanaz received a text message from his wife, actress Jaime Bergman, during the encounter, after which he called her to say he was at work, according to the lawsuit filed on Hagan's behalf by high-profile attorney Gloria Allred.
In early May, the father of two publicly admitted his nine-year marriage to his wife "has been tainted by my infidelities," but said the couple was working to stay together.
He told People magazine then that he was coming forward because a former mistress, whom he refused to name, had contacted an attorney and threatened to go to the media.
"She asked for money. I felt as though I was being blackmailed or there was some sort of extortion," he told the magazine.

Congressional Action
The 91st Congress took action to accomplish the recommendations of the President, many of the recommendations of the White House Conference on Food, Nutrition and Health, and those of witnesses testifying before the Senate Select Committee. New amendments to the National School Lunch and Child Nutrition Acts brought about significant changes particularly concerning the requirement for providing free or reduced-price lunches for needy children.
Free and Reduced-Price Lunches
Previous legislation and regulations issued by the Secretary of Agriculture had required school district boards and schools to develop policies and criteria with respect to eligibility for free or reduced-price meals. The 91st Congress amended Section 9 of the National School Lunch Act to establish uniform national guidelines and criteria in the determination of eligibility, and set a maximum charge of 20 cents for lunches served at a reduced price.
The income poverty guidelines prescribed by the Secretary of Agriculture as of July 1 each year must be used for the ensuing fiscal year. As of July 1, 1970, the Secretary issued the income poverty guidelines for the 1970-71 school year, stating the family size and applicable income level for 48 states, the District of Columbia, and outlying areas. The income level for Hawaii and Alaska were stated separately. Under the first income poverty guidelines, for example, children from a family of four with a family income of $3,720 or less annually would be eligible for free or reduced price lunches at participating schools.
Public Review
Because of the substantial changes brought about by the amendments, and with substantial increases in appropriations and funds available, USDA issued proposed new regulations covering the operation of the program. The proposed revisions of the regulations were first published in the Federal Register on July 17, 1970, giving interested persons 20 days "in which to submit comments, suggestions, or objections regarding the proposed regulations." 58
This was the first time such procedure had been pursued, giving the state agencies and administrators an opportunity to voice their opinions prior to the issuance of final regulations. Many communications and suggestions were sent in, and a number of changes in the proposed regulations were made. The revised regulations were published in the Federal Register September 4, 1970.
Uniform Criteria
The Secretary imposed upon each state agency special responsibilities for informing schools and service institutions of their obligation to provide free or reduced price lunches and breakfasts to children who are unable to pay the full price. Furthermore, each local school authority (school board in public schools) was required by the regulation to submit to the state agency a policy and criteria which would be followed in determining the eligibility of all children for a free or reduced price lunch. The policy statement had to include, as a minimum:
The officials to whom authority would be delegated by the school board to determine such eligibility.
criteria involving income, including welfare payments, family size, and number of children in school, which would be used, respectively, in determining eligibility for free lunches and for reduced price lunches (based upon Income Poverty Guidelines prescribed by the Secretary).
Procedure for appealing from the decision of an official together with an assurance that the Board would abide by such procedure.
Procedures the board would use in accepting applications for free or reduced price meals, and alternative methods which it intended to use.
description of the system to be used in collecting payments from children which would fully protect the anonymity of those receiving free or reduced price meals.
The board was required, further, to notify parents of the children in attendance of eligibility standards and policy adopted by the board, and to publicly announce such policy and criteria through the information media. The notice to parents had to be accompanied by a copy of the application form to be used. The final deadline for filing a policy and criteria acceptable to the state agency was set as December 30, 1970.
In addition to the policy and criteria statement, schools were required to give assurance to the state agency that the names of children receiving free or reduced price lunches would not be published, posted or announced in any manner to other children, and that such children would not be required, as a condition of receiving such meals, to use a separate lunchroom, go through a separate serving line, enter the lunchroom through a separate entrance, eat lunch at a different time from paying children, work for their meals, use a different medium of exchange in the lunchroom than paying children, or be offered a different meal than the paying children.
Monthly Reports
Participating schools are required to report each month the average number of children who received free lunches and the number who received reduced price lunches during the preceding month. As of October first of each year and again on the first of March, schools must submit to the state educational agency an estimate of the number of children in school who are eligible for free and reduced price lunches. The state agency, in turn, is required to submit the summary of the school reports to USDA.
Section 11 Revised
Section 11 of the National School Lunch Act concerning special assistance to needy schools and children was again revised by providing for appropriations beginning with the 1970-71 fiscal year in such amounts as might be necessary to furnish free or reduced price lunches to children of low-income families. Furthermore, the use of these funds was no longer limited to food purchases.
Planning for Annual Expansion
Another far-reaching provision of the amendment of 1970 to Section 11 of the National School Lunch Act is the requirement that not later than January 1st of each year each state educational agency must submit to USDA a plan of operation which will describe the manner in which the educational agency proposes to use Federal and state funds to furnish a free or reduced price lunch to every needy child in school.
Until such a plan has been submitted and approved by USDA, a state cannot receive either Federal funds or donated foods for use in programs under the School Lunch or Child Nutrition Acts in the next year.
Transfer of Funds Authorized
USDA may authorize transfer of funds by any state between the various programs under the Acts. Such transfers would be supported by a state plan of operation giving details as to the use of the funds.
A giant step forward to enable local school districts to plan their program operations for the future and to provide for the necessary financing of the program within the time prescribed for school budgeting was accomplished through the amendment of Section 3 of the National School Lunch Act. The amendment provides that "Appropriations to carry out the provisions of this Act and of the Child Nutrition Act for any fiscal year are authorized to be made a year in advance of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the funds will become available for disbursement to the states. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any funds appropriated to carry out the provisions of such Acts shall remain available for the purposes of the Act for which appropriated until expended." 59
Nutrition Education and Research
In the amendment of Section 6 of the National School Lunch Act the Secretary of Agriculture is authorized to use not to exceed one percent of the funds appropriated for the National School Lunch and the Child Nutrition Acts for "training and education for workers, cooperators, and participants in these programs and for necessary surveys and studies of requirements for food service programs in furtherance of the purposes" of the Acts. 60
Special Developmental Projects
In an amendment of Section 10 of the Child Nutrition Act, state educational agencies may use up to one percent of the funds apportioned to them to carry out special developmental projects, subject to approval by USDA.
State Matching Requirement
By the provisions of an amendment to Section 7 of the National School Lunch Act, beginning with the fiscal year 1970-71, state funds appropriated or utilized specifically for program purposes at the school district level would be required to make up a portion of the matching requirement as follows: For fiscal years ending June 30, 1972 and 1973 -4 percent; fiscal years ending June 30, 1974 and 1975 -6 percent; fiscal years ending June 30,1976 and 1977 -8 percent; and for each fiscal year after June 30, 1978, at least 10 percent of the matching requirement would come from state funds. Matching of funds received under Section 11 of the Act was not required.
National Advisory Council
Section 14 was added to the National School Lunch Act. It provides for establishing a National Advisory Council on Child Nutrition composed of 13 members appointed by the Secretary of Agriculture to serve without pay, but to be reimbursed for travel and subsistence. The membership is to be composed of: state school lunch director, school administrator, child welfare worker, person engaged in vocational education, nutrition expert, school food service management expert, state superintendent of schools, or equivalent, school board member, classroom teacher, and 4 members of the Department of Agriculture with training, experience and knowledge relating to child food programs.
One of the members is to be designated as chairman of the Council by the Secretary of Agriculture and one was vice chairman. Meetings are to be held upon the call of the chairman, but not less than once a year. Seven members constitute a quorum and the powers of the Council are not to be affected by a vacancy on the Council.
The Council is to carry on a continuing study of school lunch and child nutrition programs and any "related Act under which meals are provided for children, with a view to determining how such programs may be improved. 61 Annual reports and recommendations for administrative and legislative changes are to be submitted by the Council to the President and Congress.
In spite of some criticisms and admitted weaknesses over 25 years of development, the National School Lunch Program has continued to reach out to school children throughout the 50 states, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Freely Associated States.
In the first year of its legislative life in 1946-47 it assisted in providing food services in 44,537 schools serving 910.9 million Type A and Type B meals to 6 million children.
In the year of its 25th anniversary some 24.5 million children in over 79,000 schools will receive the nutritional benefits of more than 3 billion meals at school.
The program is constructed upon a system of Federal, state, local, and individual cooperation. It can justly boast of a big percentage of hard-working, devoted public servants at all levels of operation. The extent to which it will accomplish its potential in future years will depend upon the extent to which each individual at all levels of government and society meets his responsibilities under a national dedication to eliminate hunger and malnutrition from America for all time.

WASHINGTON, June 21 (UPI) -- The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5-4 Monday that all criminals sentenced after the new guidelines on crack cocaine came into effect were covered by the new rules.
That applies even if they were arrested while the old harsher sentencing guidelines were in effect.
Under the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986, the five- and 10-year mandatory minimum prison terms for federal drug crimes reflected a 100-to-1 disparity between the amounts of crack cocaine and powder cocaine needed to trigger the minimums.
Under that guideline, the five-year minimum was triggered by a conviction for possessing with intent to distribute 5 grams of crack cocaine, but 500 grams of powder; and the 10-year minimum was triggered by a conviction for possessing with intent to distribute 50 grams of crack but 5,000 grams of powder
The Fair Sentencing Act, which took effect Aug. 3, 2010, reduced the disparity to 18-to-1, lowering the mandatory minimums applicable to many crack offenders by increasing the amount of crack needed to trigger the five-year minimum from 5 to 28 grams and the amount for the 10-year minimum from 50 to 280 grams, while leaving the powder cocaine amounts intact.
The new amendments became effective on Nov. 1, 2010.
Two Chicago defendants convicted of crack distribution before the new guidelines took effect, but sentenced under the old guidelines even though the new rules had gone into effect, filed suit. A federal appeals court upheld the sentences.
But in the opinion written by Justice Stephen Breyer, the Supreme Court majority said Congress appeared to make the new rules applicable to anyone sentenced after they were implemented, even if defendants were convicted under the old regime.
Justice Anthony Kennedy joined the four liberal justices to make up the majority. The four other conservatives dissented.
