Manuscript Collections
Ethnic Studies
Collections in this category illustrate the diversity of American society, and focus on the contributions of minorities and marginal groups in forming a rich cultural history. The legal, educational, political, and personal experiences of the ethnic groups noted in this subject category portray perceptions and points of view outside the mainstream of society, and widen and deepen our sense of both the past and the present.
In order to meet wartime labor shortages on farms during World War II, the United States government authorized the importation of Mexican workers on a temporary basis. By the time the bracero program officially ended in 1964, California agriculture was firmly entrenched in a farm labor system dependent on the use of migrant foreign workers. Cesar Chavez and others had begun to organize a labor union and strikes and boycotts became a common form of protest. The papers of Raymond Roth, once the chief of the California Farm Labor Service, contains historical information, background reports, speeches, photographs, and correspondence detailing the recruitment and use of Mexican Nationals for California agriculture purposes between 1940 and 1980 .
Also prominent in the holdings under this subject category is the formidable collection of materials relating to Native American history compiled by Jack D. Forbes, a Native American and professor of Anthropology and Native American Studies at the University of California at Davis. The Forbes collection contains extensive materials relating to Native American education and the organizations, demographics, treaties, government, and culture of Native American tribes throughout the United States, with an emphasis on Native American education; materials on Mexican-Americans and African-Americans are also included. Many of these items are unique and fragile; some exist in microfilm. Complementing these materials are the audiotapes collected by Frank Quinn, who concentrated on oral tradition among Native Americans of California. This collection contains stories and songs as well as political interviews and historical lore. In a more academic vein, the Webb papers consist of anthropological research notes, reports, and journals concerning linguistic patterns of the Pomo language.
The African American History Collection chronicles the evolution of the civil rights movement from the pre-Civil War period through modern times. The collection contains hundreds of pamphlets concerning civil rights, desegregation, lynching, economic reform, and revolutionary strategies, written by such figures as Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, and George Washington Carver; a large collection of NAACP pamphlets are also included. Supplementing this collection is a small but disturbing collection of "bills of sale" transferring slaves from one owner to another, collected by Sybil Askine.
The approximately 100 linear feet of materials in this subject area are in English and although there are no geographical limitations, most of the material relates to the United States between 1800-1980. Related materials may be found in the Radical Pamphlets Collection; for materials focussing specifically on civil rights in the 1960's and 1970's, see the Contemporary Issues Collection. The archives of the Chicano Studies Department of the University of California at Davis may also yield significant materials.

Archive: FY 2012 CTAS | Coordinated Tribal Assistance Solicitation (CTAS)
Fiscal Year (FY) 2012 Coordinated Tribal Assistance Solicitation (CTAS) is now closed. The Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) is offering funding through Purpose Area 1 Tribal Resources Grant Program (TRGP) Hiring and Equipment/Training. This year $27 million is available through Tribal grant programs administered by COPS to improve public safety and enhance community policing to federally recognized Tribal jurisdictions with established law enforcement agencies. Purpose Area 1 is designed to expand the implementation of community policing and meet the most serious needs of law enforcement in Tribal communities through a broadened comprehensive program. The funding can be used to hire or re-hire sworn career law enforcement officers and Village Public Safety Officers as well as basic equipment and training to assist in the initiation or enhancement of Tribal community policing efforts. The FY 2012 CTAS solicitation reflects improvements and refinements from earlier versions based on your feedback during tribal consultations and listening sessions, from a specially developed assessment tool about the application experience, and from written comments from applicants and grantees.
Detailed information for FY2012 CTAS can be found at www.justice.gov/tribal along with other helpful information and resources.
The COPS Office will continue to update our website and provide Tribes with information and resources that will help enhance the community policing efforts in Tribal communities.

The first decade of the 21st century has witnessed changes in the scale and range of global educational mobility. Currently there are over 3.3 million students studying in a country beyond their own. In this report, the fifth in a series of Global Education Research Reports published by IIE and the AIFS Foundation, Caroline Macready and Clive Tucker describe and analyze current information on how and why students choose their study abroad destinations, and the ways in which national policies in a variety of host and sending countries impact students' decisions. This report also provides a thorough analysis of the Exchange Visitor Program in the United States, using statistics provided to the authors by the U.S. Department of State. Overall, this report offers a comprehensive overview of the complexity of student mobility worldwide.

Inbetween chapter that out-cliffhangered itself.
I need to wait for a mangastream translation to make sure, but for now...
So they can change Zanpakutou like gloves after all... at least as long as they have the previous one as a base material from what I understood (so it's more to the cloning process of Akumetsu rather than healing).
Did it is say Ka-na-me Tousen :O ? Did Mayuri just revive him or something ? Or is it one of the materials that Sayzel had in his basement ?
Looks like the dog, or at least the Wolf lineage is older than the SK, since they were alive when there was another bearer of the world... looks like Ichigo might really become the new SK, unless it will be like in Shaman King and Aizen become it, lol :p.
Im not sure about the changing zan's.. as Zangetsu wasn't created from an aschugi like every other blade was. Won't know for sure until we actually see it.
Given the odd rules of life and death in SS, I guess taking a shikai transformation through the brain ins't an insta-kill after all, unless mayuri is making zombies out of dead captains
the fight between Sajin and his great grandfather might be something to see afterall..
Thought Mayuri was "remodeling" his vice captain at first, then I realized thats he could actually be seriously remodeling her. As for the dog species, seems that they don't like to interact with other species. Shame, they look strong.
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
Continuing from last week,
1) Nothing about the Soul king...but i'm patient.
2) Strike two regarding Aftermath of Zaraki Kenpachi vs (former) Zaraki Unohana.
3) No Grimjow and Urahara
4) Guess no Ichigo Goes to Zero Division Monk, to learn how to properly meditate with his Zanpakutou
5) Guess No Byakuya
6) Giant One eared Dog. Yay!....Touchdown
7) I guess it's too early to expect new Zangetsu to show his stuff....How true
8) Somehow I don't really wanna see Uryuu.,,,Phew!
I am super intrigued with the Zanpakutou making process. Why shove Ichigo into a bath (trying to collect his reiatsu?), how does the waterfall figure in this process. Say goodbye to Zangetsu, I guess this implies that the Zanpakuto spirit's appearance, name, and powers will change...Oh dear!
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
Ok, I still think that if Zangetsu has to go, Ichigo will prob fullbring him. Interesting to see Shurosaki being quite and enjoying the water
Honestly we all know bleach would have way better fights and less sulking if he took over.
Tousen survived it thanks to his instant-regeneration, but he imploded at the end (soul suicide ? Aizen's doing ? who knows ?). Though part of his body remained a hollows-fly after he ended his transformation, so it seems his transformation reached it's completion after he used ressurection.
It looks like the spirit bodies of the dead do decompose, but very slowly, eventually completely turning into soul particles. Unless they are burned to spirit ash (like Choujirou), or pulverized by energy shots (like Yamamoto)... I wonder, since Yamamoto's soul was destroyed by Quincy technique, does this mean that he can no longer be reincarnated in the human world ?
BTW. I just realized the Kukaku was training Ganju since the end of the SS arc :O:
He might actually prove to be quite powerful.

Wow I think this is the very first time I hit just the spot! I said in previous chapter discussion he was probably gonna inherit his family past / secrets. Heh.
Anyways!!! Nice chapter, the only thing I wouldve cut was the Omaeda part, WTF? Like 2 pages just to say "she didnt take me afterall", Kubo couldve skipped to her, oh well.
Im kinda interested in Komamura now. Hes not the most important character, nor my favorite, heck I thought hed be among the first ones to die. But his past seems so vague, and now Kubo is revealing all that! I like that big ass Wolf grandpa XD its enormous and seems powerful.
am I the only one who was weirded out by Hollow ichigo (or ichigo with a mask?) in the pool? It was weird / funny. It kinda sucks that hes gonna abandon Zangetsu, not liking the idea of him with new powers, cant imagine him without Getsuga Tensho.
Although lets be honest here for a second: Toshiro has Sennen Hyoro, Hyoten Hyakkaso, Guncho Tsurara, Hyoryu Senbi, Ryuusenka, Byakuya-bo has senbonzakura, Senkei, Gokei, Shuukei Hakuteken and what not. When counting for "official moves" Ichigo only has getsuga tensho, and he spams it, that and his hollow mask, everything else is just normal swordfight, so this might be interesting :3 Whos betting Ichigo will get all emotional on losing Zangetsu? well he hasnt communicated with him for all these years, so who knows.
First What the hell is mayuri creating? or have been doing? that akon his trusted and always by his side was really shocked about? Is it one of the bodies in HM that kubo said are relevant to the story?
Second the GreatGrandFather of komamura mentioned something about the change of "bearer" of this world... is he referring to the spirit king?....... and how long to their species live? it seems to be they outlive even the shinigamis...... kumamura must be a very young pup considering his size compared to his GreatGrandfather....... i think the one who would change these bearer is ichigo at the very end.... he'd end up being the vessel to hold the worlds in balance
Soifon training by her own... what can she accomplish by her own in days or weeks? so yoruichi isn't with her now i'm inclined to say she is in the Royal realm... i think ichigo would meet her soon
Speaking of ichigo..... since his zanpaktou will change..... i don't know what matter would namiya do the forging? with the use of all those waters..... and its really goodbye to the old zangetsu...... since ichigo will awaken all his powers, quincy, hollow and shinigami all in one.... it'll have a new name closely similar to the "zangetsu" moon theme.....

Skip to comments.'08 turnout same as or only slightly higher than '04 (did Repubs stay home?)
Posted on 03/01/2009 8:36:29 AM PST by Krusty
Compared to 2004, Republican turnout declined by 1.3 percentage points to 28.7 percent, while Democratic turnout increased by 2.6 points from 28.7 percent in 2004 to 31.3 percent in 2008.
(Excerpt) Read more at politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com ...
Did you stay home? Are you still glad you did? Do you think RINOs learned a lesson?
I'm not being sarcastic, I just want to get a feel for how things happened.
I didn't stay home but I wonder how much of that Democratic vote stayed home in their beds or their cemetery plots and voted by proxy.
Talk to Ohio. Ohio conservatives stayed home.
I didn't stay home and I did choke back my bile and vote for McCain. However there was no excitement in me that day, nor did there seem to be much in anyone else on the right.
I heard that 4 million Republicans stayed home. If they had all gone out and voted for McCain-Palin, like I did, Obamao would have still won by about 6 million votes.
Same here... now add anything more fun that might interrupt the day , like having a root canal. I can see a 1.3% drop in Republican voting.
"I just want to get a feel for how things happened. "
Obama, the media candidate won. That's how 'things' happened.
I wanted to stay home but I didn't. We all knew things would be very bad with O in office and I didn't want the guilt.
Unfortunately "our" media candidate won the primary.
I think you can safely say that the 2.6% increase in Democrat voters was thanks to ACORN. They managed to get their base out to vote. Why don't we have an active group on our side to get the vote out, dead or alive?
4 million Republican votes left on the couch. About an equal number of new Democrat votes, and that's all she wrote, brother.
Yes, it's old. I'm asking for new analysis of the old news, so that we learn something for next time.
I voted for McCain to avoid electing Zero. But if we had elected McCain, we might be in worse shape as a party and almost as dismal a shape as a country. I think McCain has his own ties to Soros and were stronger than I thought. All in all, we may be better with Obama because he's a symbol in the Democrat party we can rally against.
I voted for SCOTUS more than anything else. Palin on the ticket made it all the easier to do so. But if she weren't on the ticket, and I didn't vote, I'm not so sure I'd feel that guilty about it. After all, the GOP left us, not the other way around.
Yes but think about Congress.
When Christians stay home, democrats win. It's just that simple.
Indeed, we might have had another Senator or two and a few more Congressmen.
I voted. I never miss a vote no matter how much nose holding I have to do. Our country is too important to give in to selfish tantrums.
Some of Obamas civilian force, I see.
I have voted in all elections for the last 20+ years, primaries included. I fully intend to allow the RINOs the full joy of their preferred electoral selection Democrat (Commie) control of all of the Federal offices.
Since the RINOs selected the Maverick, why did they not show up and support him? Why were the RINOs not able to get those Blue Dog Liberals to vote for a RINO?
Democrat voters = the dead, the demented, and the dogs, all facilitated by the oak-tree seed group.
Probably right. If your riding on the highway to hell, you might as well put it into high gear.
Americans are starting to rally against the messiah. According to polls his approval rating is slowly dropping while his disapproval rating is rising.
On the other side of the coin, I know some moderate Republicans think that the election results prove that the party must become more moderate or else risk being a permanent minority party.
That is my suspicion. And from a little acorn, a mighty nut is produced.

The OneCare Collaborative is a group of hospitals, primary care physicians, nurses and other care professionals in the Tri-state region who are committed to improving the health of our community through high-quality, coordinated care.
Below is mom Renee sharing her story with Leann F., RN and lactation consultant about what impacted her decision to breastfeed her third child.
Leann: You shared with me some of the issues with your first baby. Could you talk a little about them?
Renee: My first son, Skyler, is 10 years old now. His birth was very complicated. My epidural didn't work; forceps and a vacuum had to be used. I had full intention of breastfeeding him, I tried so hard but there were problems with him latching on. Once we got him home, I still tried to breast feed him and it was so stressful. I didn't feel like my milk was in or that he was getting enough to eat. I called the rural county hospital where he was born and they told me to start formula feeding. That was the only advice they gave me so that is what I did. He ended up having to be on soy formula and having cereal in every bottle; I can't help but think that if I could have kept breastfeeding he wouldn't have needed soy or cereal.
Leann: How did this influence your second baby? And then this baby?
Renee: With my second child, I did not even consider breast feeding; I did not want to relive the same thing, so I didn't even try. With this baby, I also did not consider breastfeeding until the second this baby was born.
Leann: How did it feel putting the baby skin to skin after delivery? And how did the baby act?
Renee: The skin to skin contact was amazing! As soon as Zane was placed on my skin, he went straight to my left breast and immediately latched on. It was the most special moment, at that moment it felt so right and I knew I had to breastfeed because the baby knew what he was doing and wanted to breast feed.
Leann: When did you decide to try breastfeeding this baby?
Renee: I decided to breast feed him as soon as he was laid on my skin, the baby went directly to my breast and latched on.
Leann: How did the hospital stay go regarding nursing this time? Who helped you the most? Or did you even need any help?
Renee: The hospital stay was amazing. It was the easiest birth I have had. I did not need a lot of help because Zane knew what he was doing more than I did, however, the most helpful tip I had was with positioning. The lactation department helped me the most.
Leann: How are the siblings doing with you nursing the baby?
Renee: The siblings have been really good with the new baby, my 10 yr. old is very understanding that it takes more of my time to breast feed and he helps me out a lot. My 5yr old is taking a little more time to adjust but he is getting better. My husband has really stepped in and made sure both older boys are getting the same amount of attention as before.
Leann: Now that you have fed your babies both ways, how do you compare/contrast the experiences?
Renee: Now that I have fed both ways, I would never bottle feed again. It is such an amazing bonding experience and it was so amazing to watch this baby latch on as soon as he was born. He knew exactly what he was doing. I wish I had been more educated and had more help trying to breast feed the other two.
Leann: How is the baby growing and how are you doing now that he is a few weeks old?
Renee: The baby is growing like a weed! He was born weighing 6lbs 10oz and left the hospital weighing 6lbs 2oz. When we went to Great Beginnings 4 days after leaving the hospital he weighed 6lbs 8oz. And at his first pediatrician appointment 9 days after birth he was already up to 7lbs 2oz!!!! He also has only spit up twice in the 3 weeks since he has been born.
Leann: Any wisdom you want to share with expecting mothers now?
Renee: My best advice would be to breastfeed. The moment the doctor places the baby on you, and you have that skin to skin contact, it is the most valuable time! If we had not had that skin to skin time, I can guarantee this baby would have been bottle fed. I would have never known that he could do so well and latch on so quickly. I am so thankful he went straight for the breast and I changed my mind and decided not to bottle feed. My baby made the decision for me. I am also thankful to the nurses at the lactation department for all their help and dedication.

Aug. 3 was a fun-filled day in Green River. Summer is coming to a close, and the Boys and Girls Club of Green River wanted to celebrate the end of their Summer Camp Program, as well as the beginning of the new school year, when the After School Program will commence.
The event was called Just Add Water, and boy, were they soaked. Everyone gathered in the O.K. Anderson Park in Green River on Main Street for an afternoon of fun and friendship. Everyone basked in the sun while participating in water-fueled races, painting an art mural, tie-dyeing t-shirts, blowing bubbles, eating cotton candy, and slipping on the massive slip and slide. Thanks, Doreen Allen and the Green River Volunteer Fire Department. Although there were more than 800 water balloons to be tossed around, there are never enough water balloons. They ended the event with a free-for all water balloon dodge ball game and a little freeze dance competitions. Losers were soaked with a sponge, but everyone walked away with a prize, because Green River kids can dance. This event was also made possible through support from Castleview Hospital and the Rocky Mountain Power Foundation.
The Boys and Girls Club of Green River would also like to thank everyone who came to the park with a lot of smiles, and all of their volunteers. We couldn't have done it without you. Photo credits: Sarah Burnett

The Reebok Ai9 hockey sticks are the premier sticks in the Reebok Ai stick line. The Ai hockey sticks focus on providing maximum power. Reebok has introduced a few new features to the Ai 9 hockey stick such as, the 2:1 power taper, Xlerated Blade, and mid-kick point to make the A.I 9 stick the most powerful stick from Reebok.
The greatest difference between the Ai 9 stick and the Reebok 11K is the flex point. The Reebok AI9 stick features a mid-kick point that is not quite as fast of a shot release but it results in a more powerful shot because it allows the stick to store more energy. Reebok recently examined several NHL players stick to see what flex profile was being used and found that 60% of the players were using mid-kick sticks and only 40% were using low kick sticks.
To further increase power Reebok has introduced the 2:1 power taper, and Xlerated blade. The 2:1 ratio is that the top and bottom walls are twice as stiff as the sides. According to Reebok this design allows for effortless loading and maximum power transfer/stability. Reebok has also added a new blade core to the Ai 9 stick which they are calling the Xlerated Blade. The Xlerated Blade is a new highly reactive foam bare combined with an added layer of extra stiff carbon on the blade surface provide more direct power.
The Reebok Ai nine stick features a dark profile from the players perspective to make it a little easier for the player to identify with the puck.

Comments: Great stick. Feels very similar to the old 8.0.8 model, which I loved. Solid shaft and blade. Hope they never end mid-flex sticks
From: Jon K.
Comments: I really did not like this stick very much It was kind of heavy but I mean it was very balanced it just was not for me held up very well though. It all comes down to personal preference with this stick some might like it some may not personally I did not like it very much. Had it for 2 months and I can honestly say I was not satisfied with it.
From: ??
Comments: I have been using this stick for around 3-4 months now, and I have to say it has been outstanding on all aspects. Going from an Easton SE16 that broke in around 2 months to this stick, I have noticed substantial improvements in my shots, passes, and stick-handling. The stick has been amazingly durable so far, I've been using it 4-5 times a week for around 4 months and have noticed very little chipping or blemishing which usually leads to stick breaks.
I would say this is easily the best stick I have ever used - would HIGHLY recommend you pick it up if your looking for a high end stick.
From: Matt, Vancouver, BC
Comments: Ive used this stick for well over a year now and couldn's be happier! After using Easton pretty much my whole life I switched to Reebok after breaking three EQ50's in under 6 months. Needless to say, Reebok has my business from here on out.
The biggest thing is the durability. This is the first top of the line stick thats lasted me more than half a year. I play at least 5 days a week, just for fun now, but when I was playing ACHA this stick held up to that level easily. Very quick release on snappers and my clappers from the point have never been as good as they are with the Ai9. They are quick, accurate, and fast. You can really feel the puck on the stick as well. Lets me keep my eyes up constantly, never having to worry about where the puck is, allowing me, as a D, to focus on where Im putting the puck next. The dual flex system is nice too. I was skeptical at first, thinking it was just a ploy, but with me needing a stiffer flex, this system allows for more flex while still giving me the stiffness I need.An all around amazing stick. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a high end stick that will last. It's a perfect stick for an D-man!!

Skip to comments.Federal appeals court strikes down concealed carry ban (IL!!)
Posted on 12/11/2012 10:40:13 AM PST by aimhigh
CHICAGO A federal appeals court has struck down a ban on carrying concealed weapons in Illinois the only state where carrying concealed weapons is entirely illegal.
The 7th Circuit Court of Appeals announced Tuesday that state lawmakers have 180 days to write a new law that legalizes concealed carry.
(Excerpt) Read more at dailyillini.com ...
Another article:
It will still be politically manipulated as everything in Illllllinois is in any governmental system.
They will model their concealed-carry statute on New York City's rules. Don't expect "shall issue" CCW to come from this.
A couple of wins today may still be a dead cat bounce but I'll take it.
No worries. Count Obama and the UN will take care of this pesky gun problem once and for all.
This means I can wear my shoulder holster after all these years.
The anti-gun blue cities do not give up without a fight.
Now is the time to take on California's screwy system that makes issuance of CCW permits subject to the political whim of the sheriff a violation of the 14th Amendment equal protection clause. The State can then be forced to come up with a standard that meets Constitutional muster for strict scrutiny as regards "the right to keep and bear arms."
I certainly do. I see no indication in Heller or McDonald which would allow the government to decide whether any individual had a good reason to bear arms. Such individuals have a RIGHT to bear arms and need provide no reason.
Illinois may attempt to create widespread "sensitive places" and they may attempt to create classes of people who can't get a permit. These issues will have to be litigated again, perhaps, but the vast majority of people are going to get permits.
I hope when they fail to follow the prescribed remidy, in 180 days, that they are found in contempt.
One step at a time. Next step is challenging "may issue".
Law abiding citizens should not need a license to carry!!! Period!
I was betting the other way.
You weren't before?
Only at dinner parties.
Interesting excerpts:
The right to bear as distinct from the right to keep arms is unlikely to refer to the home. To speak of bearing arms within ones home would at all times have been an awkward usage. A right to bear arms thus implies a right to carry a loaded gun outside the home.
Twenty-first century Illinois has no hostile Indians. But a Chicagoan is a good deal more likely to be attacked on a sidewalk in a rough neighborhood than in his apartment on the 35th floor of the Park Tower.
To confine the right to be armed to the home is to divorce the Second Amendment from the right of self-defense described in Heller and McDonald. It is not a property righta right to kill a houseguest who in a fit of aesthetic fury tries to slash your copy of Norman Rockwells painting Santa with Elves. That is not self-defense, and this case like Heller and McDonald is just about self-defense.
Moreover, there is no reason to expect Illinois to impose minimal permit restrictions on carriage of guns outside the home, for obviously this is not a state that has a strong pro-gun culture, unlike the states that began allowing concealed carriage before Heller and MacDonald enlarged the scope of Second Amendment rights.
A person who carries a gun in public but is not well trained in the use of firearms is a menace to himself and others.
What kind of places do you go to dinner?
It will probably have to face the Supremes next.
My home. We believe our handguns make a nice fashion statement.
"They will model their concealed-carry statute on New York Citys rules. Dont expect shall issue CCW to come from this."
I disagree. Of course Illannoy will do what they can to frustrate the right to bear arms, but the may-issue game is about to die as well; there is a court decision in MD that is turning that game on it's ear.
More importantly, the culture has shifted. Guns are very popular right now and politicians outside of the bluest areas aren't interested in getting in the way.
they'll make it so expensive and so much paper work there that many will say screw this
I have always said the ability to accessorize separates us from the lower animals. :-)
I disagree, Army. The United Nations will NOT suppress our 2nd Amendment in my lifetime, and I have about 15 years left. With so many guns and ammunition being bought since Obambi took office, it's apparent that The People are getting tired of collectivism, but ready. And no, I don't think a CWII is coming, but a RWII, well...who knows if the States are ready?
I see a blue helmet or a hevlar with a US flag patch on my street to enforce UN law, that's the day I die. Yes, easy to say for a non-combatant aviation Swabbie. Still, I've lived a full life and the day I see them coming for me or mine or my possessions, it's time to check out. Sure I just got put up to the top on some database, but I really no longer care. Hi guys!
Good one!

Characterized by large and well-developed agricultural, mining, manufacturing, and service sectors, Brazil's economy outweighs that of all other South American countries, and Brazil is expanding its presence in world markets. In 2011, the U.S. was Brazil's largest source of imports followed by China, Argentina, Germany, and South Korea. U.S. merchandise exports to Brazil in 2011 were US $42.9 billion, and U.S. imports from Brazil were US $31.3 billion.
Doing business in Brazil requires intimate knowledge of the local environment, including both the explicit as well as implicit costs of doing business (referred to as the "Custo Brasil"). Such costs are often related to distribution, government procedures, employee benefits, environmental laws, and a complex tax structure. Logistics pose a particular challenge, given infrastructure limitations posed by nearly a decade of economic expansion. In addition to tariffs, U.S. companies will find a complex customs and legal system.

The ThermaCELL Rechargeable Heated Insoles are the latest innovation in outdoor comfort technology, providing your feet with long-lasting warmth in the face of cold weather. Built using high-tech, wireless, thermal technology, the ThermaCELL Rechargeable Heated Insoles have three different settings to accommodate changing conditions – No heat, Medium Heat (100-degrees), and High Heat (110-degrees).
Temperatures are easily adjustable by a small, wireless remote control that fits inside of a pocket, or on your belt loop with a lanyard (included). Designed to stay warm, but not hot to the touch, the ThermaCELL Rechargeable Heated Insoles regulate themselves by turning off when they reach the desired temperature. They then turn back on when needed – similar to a household thermostat. This system keeps your feet at the optimal temperature, and won't leave them feeling overheated and sweaty.
When you're out on the water with money on the line, there's no price that can be placed on comfort. The less time you spend trying to stay warm, the longer you can fish, and eventually, the more fish you can catch – it's that simple.
-3 different temperature settings
-Self-regulating thermostat
-5 Hours of battery life
-Rechargeable up-to 500X
-Water Resistant
-Can be trimmed to perfectly fit shoes/boots
Charging: ThermaCELL Heated Insoles are incredibly easy to recharge. Just plug the charger into the wall, and then connect the dual cords into the heel of each insole. The embedded lithium-ion polymer batteries fully charge in just four hours. Each charge last five hours and the battery can be charged up to 500 times – That's 2500 hours of toastiness.

Isses in the spotlight. The Thirteenth Regular Session of the Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture was held at FAO Headquarters 16-22 July 2011. Many issues were on the agenda, including approval of the Multi-year Programme of Work. In light of so many challenges threatening global food security, greater attention is being concentrated on the need to preserve biological diversity for food and agriculture. We take a look at some of the key areas where safeguarding biodiversity will be critical for the food security needs of future generations.
A healthy ecosystem can provide a variety of crucial services for public goods, such as clean water, nutrient cycling, climate regulation and food security — services that contribute directly or indirectly to human well-being. Yet today, many ecosystems are in decline; this is of particular importance to agriculture, which depends on ecosystem services. Loss of healthy ecosystems will seriously affect the production of food, both today and in the future. Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) is an economic instrument designed to provide positive incentives to users of agricultural land and those involved in coastal or marine management. These incentives are expected to result in continued or improved provision of ecosystem services, which, in turn, will benefit society as a whole.

This volume demonstrates the possibility of harmonizing agricultural production
with the wellbeing of the biosphere – and that this can be achieved in Africa, our biosphere's least developed continent, and the continent which is likely to suffer most from climate change. The work presented in this volume stems from a Conference on Ecological Agriculture held in Ethiopia in 2008. Through the discussions held during this Conference and field visits to Tigray, a region struck by hunger in the eighties and largely food secure today, participants shared insights on Africa's potential for intensifying its agriculture through a better use of natural resources and ecosystem services.
Since its formation, the Panel has opened up the general discussion of ethical issues in food and agriculture. A major focus of attention has been the ethical issues arising in food and agriculture from economic globalization and the intensification of agriculture. A second and related issue has been the exploration of ethical aspects of the global emergency of hunger. The Panel has examined a wide range of specific topics including: ethical issues in fisheries; the ethics of food safety; ethical issues in food aid; ethical perspectives on animal welfare and the intensification of animal production; the issues surrounding global goods, global services and privatization; and intellectual property rights. This publication reports on considerations from the Panel's fourth session.

Linda Eder :: The Little Farm Girl With The Big City Voice
When you speak of versatile voices of our time like Judy Garland, Barbra Streisand, and Whitney Houston, you have to include the incredible Linda Eder to that list. Having a career that as thus far spanned over 23 years, she has been successful at doing it all as a singer, Broadway and theater, recording albums, and spellbinding concerts.
Getting her first notoriety by becoming a winner of TV talent competition show pioneer "Star Search" in 1988, Eder went on to get her first big break with her first stage production which went on to becoming the an eventual Broadway hit "Jekyll and Hyde" in 1997. Her role as Lucy earned great acclaim including a Drama Desk Award and Outer Critics Circle Award nominations, and a Theater World Award win. Linda gained more attention again in her role in "Camille Claudel" six years later in 2003.
But it is Eder's versatility that separates her from the other good singers and places her amongst the greats. Her vast recording resume includes country-pop, Broadway standards, pop covers and movie soundtrack hits. Most of her recorded hits come by way of composer Frank Wildhorn who discovered her with his casting of her in his "Jekyll and Hyde" musical. In her 22 year recording she has put out 14 solo albums. In concert, Linda seems to be able to keep her audiences mesmerized with her transcendent voice much in the same way as her two influences Judy Garland and Barbra Streisand have.
Though her desire to work so hard anymore has definitely diminished, she continues to perform and record regularly and is currently on tour now in an eight week coast-to-coast show. With a tour stop scheduled in San Francisco on February 16 at Yoshi's Jazz Club, I recently chatted with Linda and got her take on the current TV talent competition shows, how her marriage to composer Frank Wildhorn limited her exploration of original material fro other composers, why she decided to record with ex- again, and why she is just a little farm girl at heart.
Reality show roots
BeBe: With all the attention that the current barrage of talent competition Reality TV shows are getting these days, I have to bring up the fact that you were a winner of the one of the original television talent search contests "Star Search" with Ed McMahon back in the day.
Linda Eder: Yes, I won "Star Search" back in 1988.
BeBe: That's where it all started for you, so to speak, in terms of national exposure, and definitely, with your musical theater and recording careers. I have had the opportunity to also interview the first 'Star Search' winner Sam Harris, and as I discussed with him, the format of the pioneer of such talent shows, 'Star Search,' differed so much from those that are out there today. Today, the talent competition shows seem to focus much more on the 'reality' aspect of the shows which really seems to be what makes the contestants instant stars more than their actual talent. Do you have any thoughts and/or commentary on today's talent shows?
Linda Eder: Well, I think they (the talent show contestants) are becoming stars for two reasons. First, they obviously have to have talent, but there are a lot of people out there who have the talent. With these you are learning who they are so quickly over such a short amount of time. That's what is helping to make them successful. They are not all obviously going to go on to have the careers of Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood. That requires a real combination of all of it at its highest level. The shows themselves, I don't watch them until the final rounds because I don't like the audition process. That's all the reality TV aspect of it, and I don't like any of that. And now, I've just reached the point that I'm just tired of them. There are too many (shows).
Long road to Broadway
BeBe: They're kind of like talk shows. Every time you turn on the television there's one on.
Linda Eder: But, at least with talks shows there are a million topics you can talk about. With talent shows, they all have some type of gimmick attached to them, but they are basically just talent shows. There is nothing special about them. There is just way too many. You can't turn out too many stars because they are not going to shine as brightly, you know what I mean?
BeBe: Well, that definitely wasn't the case with your win on 'Star Search,' because from that show you went on to land your first major role, Lucy in Frank Wildhorn's 'Jekyll and Hyde,' which you performed on various stages for many years because it took awhile for the musical to land on Broadway. What, it was a 7-year journey to Broadway?
Linda Eder: Yes, it was a long process. I was approached by Frank (Wildhorn, her eventual husband), and my audition technically wasn't an audition because at that time (1988) they had a production they were trying to mount, and I did I fact audition for that one, but that production never happened. But when it did launch (1990), it just sort of became my part and created around me which certainly is an advantage.
BeBe: Of course because many of us have seen the traveling versions of 'Jekyll and Hyde' and we can't get past any other Lucy but you.
Linda Eder: Well, I appreciate that, thank you.
Beyond Broadway
BeBe: Now, you do also have a nice resume of other theater work, but do you think people may have expected your career to take on more of a Bernadette Peters sort of career where you are completed cemented on the Broadway stage because of the great amount of success you received from your inaugural role?
Linda Eder: Yeah, people have the need to label things. Depending on how they discover you that is how they are going to label you. If they come to my shows enough they would gradually get that I can do different types of music pretty affectingly and I like all kinds of music. The education of my fan base of me grows the more they come to my shows. But definitely when you are in a show like 'Jekyll and Hyde' and then you get the television exposure as a result of that, it does cement you as being known as a particular type of performer. And I started to rebel a bit against that because I knew I could get other things, and that's why I made 'The Other Side Of Me' album (2008, a country-pop blend of contemporary songs) to shake things up and say,'Hey listen. This (Broadway music) is all I can do.' In fact, I don't even really consider myself a Broadway performer. I had only done the one show. I started out singing in nightclubs. I jut consider myself a singer. I sing whatever feels good and feels right.
BeBe: Well, you have mentioned before that Judy Garland and Barbra Streisand were two major influences for you. And it is interesting as I listened to what you just said, and I look at how your career has gone, your career does remind me a lot like Barbra's with her career also starting in musical stage work, and she getting a big break right off the bat, and yet she is a consummate recording artist and concert performer as opposed to a Broadway performer. She didn't get caught up in that labeling, as you say, as well. I've seen you in concert before and you are a wonderful performer on a concert stage as well.
Linda Eder: Oh, thank you.
BeBe: You know when I think about other interviews with female vocalists, those two names, Judy and Barbra, invariably always come up as the two people who have most influenced their singing. In our generation, those two names seems to always come up. But you must also hear those same type of comments about you being an influence on the next generation of female singers. Young girls look at your work and how you are as a performer and say that is how they want to perform as they develop. How do you feel about that sort of adulation?
Linda Eder: It's amazingly flattering. I do get it all the time from people, just the other day in fact (laughing). That type of thing does go on, and it's just the cycle of life (modestly speaking).
Back With Wildhorn
BeBe: Your most recent album that you released in 2011, 'Now,' reunites you with doing music with Frank Wildhorn. Can you tell me what occurred to get you back in the studio working again with your now ex-husband Frank Wildhorn after six-years of not doing so?
Linda Eder: The truth is that he has been asking me ever since we split up to make a record with him, and I didn't want to because I'd been doing his music for so many years that I really wanted to my own thing and push myself on my own. I didn't want to work with him on his stuff. Over the years of being with him, I had sort of been passively aggressively controlled into only doing his material. I sang cover songs, but he really didn't want me to sing anyone else's original music. And I sort of went along with it. I regret that now in hindsight. There are a lot of great writers out there. So, I really wanted to be on my own, but after six years or so, I finally realized that we would probably work together again one day because the fan would really like it. And, it would be good for our son (Jake, now 13). Frank had been pitching several new album ideas to SONY, and the one that they liked was the idea of us working on an album together. So, he came to me with that, and I agreed.
BeBe: Well, we thank all the lucky stars on that one.
Linda Eder: Yes, it worked out nicely.
BeBe: Just as with Judy and Barbra, you have to be aware of your huge gay fan following. Your current concert tour that you began on February 2 in Ohio will be bringing you to the gay mecca of the world, San Francisco, on February 16 at the world renown jazz club Yoshi's. And as I look back at the start of your Broadway work back in 1990, it was during a time when theater was being really hit hard with the devastation of the AIDS epidemic. Having spoken with other Broadway stars such as Jennifer Holiday ('Dreamgirls'), Betty Buckley ('Cats'), Sheryl Lee Ralph ('Dreamgirls'), and Stephanie Mills ('The Wiz') who all were performing Broadway shows in the late 80's and early 90's, they have told me off how they recall how AIDS affected the theater community to the point of almost shutting down Broadway. How did you view what was going on in theater at that time in relationship to AIDS and its affect on the theater world?
Linda Eder: I really wasn't aware because I started out singing in nightclubs and didn't really know any other theater person until I met Frank in 1988. And eventhough 'Jekyll and Hyde' began in theaters across the country in 1990, it took 7 years before making it to Broadway, so, I didn't really come to the Broadway theater and community until 1996. So, until then I wasn't really that connected to it. So, I can't say that I experienced first hand what was going on with AIDS and the Broadway theater community.
Gay fans
BeBe: And, what about your gay following? Because once again like Judy and Barbra, you're probably one of our icons!
Linda Eder: (After a bit of laughter) Well, I can say if I didn't have a gay following with the type of songs I've been doing, I must be doing something wrong (followed by more laughter).
BeBe: Touche on that one. I guess you're right! I like that Linda. With you coming to San Francisco soon, how often do you get a chance to sing here on the West coast?
Linda Eder: Well, that's a long flight when you travel, and I don't like to fly. I do as many as I can, I just don't like to fly. Obviously, I do because it's apart of my job, but I mostly perform in the Midwest and East. Back here (New York) there is just so many places to perform especially with me being associated with theater. So, I ten to make it out to the West coast and San Francisco at least once a year.
BeBe: You have 13 dates between now and the middle of April taking you coast to coast ending in New York. Is this the same show you are traveling with over the next 2.5 months, or will each show be a bit different?
Linda Eder: Well, I put together a show together each year that I sit with for at least a year. This show I'm doing now is based on a show called 'Songbirds' where I learned a lot of songs by iconic female singers and great iconic songs mixed in with my stuff from my different albums and my so-called hits. But, I am working on new material for later this coming year, and we have just begun the process of that.
BeBe: Over the length of your career you have put out 14 solo album projects. And as I reviewed them, you put them out at a different pace than how people put out recordings today. You were putting out a collection of songs about one album every other year. There are sometimes 3 or more years between recorded sets with artists today. Would you like to record at a slower pace?
Linda Eder: Well recording is fun no matter what. It really is based on the demand or whether wants you to make a certain record or whatever. But, the whole record industry has changed so much. It's a whole different animal nowadays. But, I've been doing this a long time, and I think it's just my own natural progression of getting older and my desire to be at home that has put me at a slower pace than before. I'm a homebody. I'm not so driven to work as much.
BeBe: I think I read somewhere with you saying that you were just a little farm girl at heart.
Linda Eder: That's true!

As an actress, BeBe was introduced to film with a lead role in the independent film "Under One Sun" with her character dealing with religious, racial and gender issues. Additionally, she appeared in the campy musical "Devious, Inc" (Australian Film Festival, San Francisco Short Film Fest) also adding additional vocals to the musical soundtrack. Both of these performances led to her selection for a lead role in Aisha Media's next short film series, "Con-tin.u.um" to be released in 2012.

I'll run off to Alaska and ditch all my responsibilities to spend every waking hour on the water either catching monster fish or helping others land the fish of their lifetime.

There are five changes in personnel for Munster for the visit of Ospreys to Thomond Park on Saturday in the RaboDirect PRO12.
There are five changes in personnel for Munster for the visit of Ospreys to Thomond Park Stadium on Saturday in the RaboDirect Pro12.
Three of those changes are unsurprising in that they accommodate the return of internationals Ronan O'Gara and Dave Kilcoyne, and skipper Doug Howlett.
The other notable change is at scrum-half where opportunity knocks for Cathal Sheridan who makes his first competitive start for Munster while Rob Penney continues to rotate Garryowen club-mates Damien Varley and Mike Sherry, Varley getting the nod for the number two jersey this time around.
Penney keeps faith with the back five selected for Treviso even though Niall Ronan was back in the mix after 80 minutes with Shannon at the weekend but Sean Dougal is preferred as back-row back up to CJ Stander who is omitted from the match day squad.
Meanwhile, Alun Wyn Jones captains the Ospreys at Thomond Park after returning for Wales last weekend in the national side's win over Italy in Rome.
Kahn Fotuali'i reverts back to his regular position of scrum-half with Ashley Beck's selection at inside centre pushing Tom Issacs out onto the wing.
Duncan Jones starts at loosehead prop ahead of Ryan Bevington, with Jonathan Thomas moving to number eight following the selection of Jones in the second row.
"It's important that we put in a big performance on Saturday night," said Ospreys boss Steve Tandy.
"Having suffered two defeats on the road, Munster will be happy to be back at Thomond Park where they have an enviable record and will want to secure the win that will cut the gap between us going into the final five rounds.
"With four of the last six games away from home we understand the size of the task in front of us but we believe in ability of this squad to rise to the challenge. It's not going to be easy but they've shown throughout the season that they won't take a backward step and never know when they're beaten.
"We'll need to see that spirit in every game between now and the end of the season, they'll need to give everything for the cause, and if we see that from them then we've got a real chance of reaching the last four once again."
Form: Munster have slipped to three defeats in their last four RaboDirect PRO12 fixtures. The Munstermen's only two home losses in any competition this season have both been to Welsh opponents at Musgrave Park in the PRO12. – the last Welsh region with win at Thomond Park were Ospreys themselves on 8 October 2011. Ospreys only reversal in their last seven RaboDirect PRO12 contests was 10-22 to Connacht in Galway on 15 February in their most recent away game in the tournament – they have not lost back to back PRO12 away fixtures since Christmas-New Year 2011-12. Ospreys have won their last four encounters with Munster since the Munstermen were victorious at Thomond Park in the 2011 semi-final of the PRO12. The Welsh region have won on two of their nine previous visits to Thomond Park in all competitions.
The teams:
Munster: 15 Felix Jones, 14 Doug Howlett (c), 13 Casey Laulala, 12 James Downey, 11 Denis Hurley, 10 Ronan O'Gara, 9 Cathal Sheridan, 8 James Coughlan. 7 Tommy O'Donnell, 6 Paddy Butler, 5 Billy Holland, 4 Ian Nagle, 3 Stephen Archer, 2 Damien Varley, 1 David Kilcoyne.
Replacements: 16 Mike Sherry, 17 Wian du Preez, 18 BJ Botha, 19 Dave Foley, 20 Sean Dougall, 21 Duncan Williams, 22 Ian Keatley, 23 Ivan Dineen.
Ospreys: 15 Richard Fussell, 14 Tom Habberfield, 13 Jonathan Spratt, 12 Ashley Beck, 11 Tom Issacs, 10 Matthew Morgan, 9 Kahn Fotuali'i, 8 Jonathan Thomas, 7 Sam Lewis, 6 James King, 5 Lloyd Peers, 4 Alun Wyn Jones (c), 3 Cai Griffiths, 2 Scott Baldwin, 1 Duncan Jones.
Replacements: 16 Matthew Dwyer, 17 Marc Thomas, 18 Dmitri Arhip, 19 Ian Gough, 20 Dan Baker, 21 Arthur Ellis/Sam Davies, 22 Rhyss Webb, 23 Tom Grabham
