Discussion Also known as yellow spiderflower, yellow spiderwort, . Two varieties are proposed. The genus name was used by the Greek philosopher Theophrastus for a plant resembling mustard, and while the flowers resemble those of mustards, the ovary on a jointed stalk and palmately compound leaves distinguish this as a member of the Capparaceae family. A flowering plant may have blooming flowers at the top of the stem and ripening capsules dangling off the stem further down.
The similar Golden Spider Flower (C. platycarpa), from eastern Oregon, southwestern Idaho, and adjacent portions of California and Nevada, has hairs on stems and leaves tipped with glands.
Exposure Preference Sun.
Native Distribution E. Washington to e. California, e. Bighorn Co, Montana & n.w. New Mexico
Site Preference River bottoms; stream banks; sandy flats; desert plains

Arthritis affects more than 5.3 million adults in California (BRFSS 2011)
Osteoarthritis, the most common form of arthritis, affects 27 million adults in the United States
Osteoarthirtis resource page - Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Osteoarthritis, also known as degenerative joint disease, is the most common type of arthritis. Osteoarthritis is a joint disease that mostly affects cartilage. Cartilage is the slippery tissue that covers the ends of bones in a joint. Healthy cartilage allows bones to glide over each other. It also helps absorb the shock of movement. In osteoarthritis, the top layer of cartilage breaks down and wears away, allowing bones to rub together. The rubbing causes pain, swelling, and loss of motion of the joint.
Evidence-based self-management education and physical activity programs that are effective and safe for people with arthritis. In California, CAPP is implementing the following self-management and physical activity programs:

National EAS Test Shortened
Posted By News On @ 6:26 am In Today's Local News | Comments Disabled
The National Emergency Alert System Test, which will take place on November 9th, has been shortened from two and a half minutes to 30 seconds. The Department of Homeland Security recommended the test be shortened. The two and a half minute test would have been much longer than past test and officials were worried it might panic people. The test will take place at 1pm and will be on all channels. This is only a test, but keep in mind that KCII is the one to count on for up to the minute coverage in an emergency.

The House GOP Budget Trusts the American People
By Paul Ryan CNN
For the fourth year in a row, House Republicans have passed a balanced budget.
Each time, we've put forward a plan that stops spending money we don't have, creates jobs with pro-growth reforms, strengthens the safety net, and expands opportunity for all. And each time we've learned a little bit more about where the two parties stand.
If you look at President Barack Obama's budget -- Senate Democrats refused to write one this year -- it's clear where he and his party place their trust: Washington.
He wants to raise taxes by $1.8 trillion -- on top of the $1.7 trillion he's already raised. He wants to increase spending by $791 billion. And he never balances the budget -- ever.
Time and again, the President and his party put government in the driver's seat. They want to take more from families to spend more in Washington. Whether it's health care, energy, or taxes, Democrats want the federal government to play a bigger role in the lives of Americans and our economy.
And that's great for Washington; it thrives on more power. But the American people will lose out. They'll face less opportunity, more debt, and fewer jobs.
By contrast, House Republicans have put forward a plan that puts our trust in the people. Our plan balances the budget in just 10 years. We cut $5.1 trillion in spending over the next decade by eliminating waste and making much-needed reforms.

text: On the 12" Boba's built back in the late 70's was their quite a gap between the hands and the ends of the arms? Also, it looks like the hands just plug into the arm's ends so these could spin around?? I recently bought one and it looks like someone used white caulk to put between the hands and arms, it does not look like they were gluing them back together just like they did not like the gap....? Anyone taken the hands/arms apart?:confused:

Appearance / Description of Object(s)
Object was spherical and reflected the sunlight giving it a yellowish white glow. The object did not have a fusilage or wings. No lights were visible. No sound was hear from its path of travel
Size of Object(s)
Approximately one inch in diameter at arms length.
Description of Area / Surroundings
There is a large nuclear generating plant located 20 km south of town, Port Elgin, Ontario. How ever the object was not flyting away from the site, but coming in from the north off of Lake Huron. We live on Pierson Ave, east of ( the main street,) Goderich street.
Full Description & Details
At 1710 hrs on a bright clear day an object passed directly overhead, moving from the NW travelling in a straight line to the SE. It was sighted by myself and I pointed it out to my wife at that time. The weather on this day was clear, winds were very mild, the temperature was 22 deg C in the shade. Object was spherical and reflected the sunlight giving it a yellowish white glow. The object did not have a fusilage or wings. No lights were visible. No sound was hear from its path of travel. Its height could not be determined. Its speed was very fast when compared to the speed of commercial flights which pass over the area often, i.e. several in one hour. Most flights pass north of the town and the majority travel east to west. The commercial aircraft can be seen and heard. A airliner flight had passed overhead, E to W and to the north minutes before, left a contrail which did not dissipate but slowly drifted in a continous column to the south. The object passed to the south of the contrail. It was a very unspectacular event but significant.
Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?
This is the only flying object I have ever witnessed that I could not explain.
Witness Background
retired control technican. hold licences for electrical and HVAC technician disciplines. Also have had extensive training and work experience in thr Instrumentation field. Worked at the Bruce Power nuclear generating plant south of town for 34 years.
Reported Sighting?No
Your Location:Port Elgin, Ontario Canada

Here is the 9th part of 10 in my "Restoration Series" of this, our 1959 British Daimler Ferret Scout Car. The military vehicles are the "centre" of our family Military Collection. This is the Mk2/3 variant.
In this my penultimate post concerning the Ferret: I'm concentrating on the finishing touches to this long and lavish restoration. All credit should go to my brother Keith, who's name is actually on the ticket of this awesome machine, also to the "army" of skilled helpers, who donated their time, additional facilities and knowledge.
For those of you who have followed all of my posts in this "series", you will know the ups & downs and all the hard graft that went into this project, however; to say it's not been fun, would be untrue. I think the photo's above show the more restful and laidback aspect of our military vehicle ownership!
In my final post (No.10) I will be covering some of the parades, exhibitions and military vehicle shows the Ferret has attended, gaining accolades wherever it goes!
The Photograph's above:
Photo .1: I pose with the finished Ferret at the "Overlord" Military Vehicle Show put on every year in Portsmouth UK, by SOE. Notice the finished Unit Marking badge of the The Queens Lancers (16th) which this particular Ferret served with in Germany whilst with B.A.O.R (British Army On the Rhine)
Photo .2: I am languidly hand-painting (last minute, as usual) the Lancers Logo whilst waiting to go into the judging arena at the Overlord Show! Talk about a laidback approach to restoration!
Photo .3: These Military Vehicle Shows are normally a several day, camping affair, in the English summer, that gives everyone time to catch up with old friends and new restorations. Here I continue to drink beer, socialise AND finish the Ferret's Unit Marking!
Photo .4: The finished hand-painted Unit Marking. The Restoration is now COMPLETE!

Well, I just got back from C3 and had the opportunity to get a good close look at Master Replicas. Here is what I have determined.
First of all let me start by saying that I have discovered that I don't particularly care for most of the Jedi lightsabers. Don't get me wrong, they are nice, but I really thought I would like 'em more than I do. Most of them seem akward. I am also put off by the amount of polished chrome. It's just too much. I don't really hate them or anything, I just thought I would like 'em more.
Now for my personal biased review.
Mini Sabers - I love 'em! In fact I bought Vader ($30.00), Dooku ($30.00) and Maul ($35.00) at the convention. I also bought 2 of the Obi-Wan C3 exclusive minis direct from Master Replicas! My first mini was the Best Buy Darth Sidious, which is much smaller than the others. However, upon inspection I discovered that I don't really care for their exclusives either! Chrome, Smoked Chrome, Gold...eh, I just don't like the look of 'em. I saw several of the gold regular and mini sabers and there is just no way I would get one. I will probably stick to collecting the regular versions of the Sith mini sabers.
On a side note, Master Replicas anounced that they will be producing a .45 scaled undamaged Darth Maul saber, which I plan on buying.
Limited Edition Sabers - Nice, very nice! In fact I had the chance to look at all the sabers MR had on display as well as the actual sabers from the films in the Lucas Archives. The MR sabers are much nicer. The original sabers are older and show heavy signs of wear and tear, even the Darth Maul saber looked worn out. However, I doubt I will be buying one of the full size MR sabers any time soon. After checking them out there are only 2-3 that I am interested in Vader, Maul and Sidious.
The Sidious saber is small, not much bigger than the Yoda saber. What really struck me was the Lucas Archives Sidious saber, it looks quite good and I would not be surprised to find that Master Replicas actually produced the saber for Lucas. I could not confirm this however, so it's really just speculation, but the MR Sidious saber looks to be an exact match for the actual saber!
Force F/X - I saw several people with the new and the old versions of these and the reports are correct, the new version is far superior to the original.
Blasters - Cool, but not really my cup of tea.
Movie Scaled Replicas - Nice, but again, not my cup of tea.
Overall my impression of Master Replicas has gone up since I have had the chance to see them close up, but I am still hesitant to drop that kind of cash on their LE Sabers. I have seen the LE Darth Maul saber for $250.00 on Ebay and a few other places and I would consider spending that much on one. The Sidious saber is my favorite so I will probably buy one eventually. The Vader saber is...well...Darth Vader's lightsaber! So I will probably buy one of those eventually as well, I will probably buy the Vader F/X as well. But that's it for me.

Counterfeit NGC Holder Advisory
The NGC holder and certification label employ advanced security features to protect against counterfeiting and tampering. Additionally, since October 2008 nearly every coin that NGC has graded has been imaged in the NGC holder prior to being returned to the submitter. These images, along with NGC's certification data, can be helpful to assess an NGC holder's authenticity. Images and certification data are available for free in the Verify NGC Certification tool on the NGC website as well as NGC's mobile app.
Despite these continued efforts to protect consumers, there have been attempts to counterfeit the NGC holder. These attempts are illegal and not only infringe upon NGC's registered trademarks, but also violate both the Hobby Protection Act of 1973 and the Collectible Coin Protection Act of 2014.
NGC will consider all available options to pursue those who counterfeit or tamper with NGC holders and violate NGC's intellectual property rights. NGC intends to aggressively pursue our remedies as a trademark owner under the 2014 Collectible Coin Protection Act, in the event of such a violation.
The NGC Guarantee does not apply to coins that reside in tampered or counterfeited holders. NGC will, however, assist victims of holder fraud whenever possible.
If you believe that you have a counterfeit or tampered NGC holder, or if you have seen one offered for sale, please contact NGC immediately at firstname.lastname@example.com. High resolution images and any relevant information will help NGC to conduct its investigation.
We recommend that buyers of counterfeit or tampered holders contact the seller and request a refund. The seller should then follow the chain of custody to return the holder to its original seller or manufacturer.
Questions, comments or concerns related to counterfeit or tampered NGC holders may be directed to:
Attn: Consumer Awareness

I get the feeling you believe there is some novel shite pinging around that caveman head of yours. Or maybe you know you're full of shit, but your own voice just sounds so damn good to you. Either way, thanks for the entertainment.
Don't bother with big boy thoughts
y make more money doing what they do rather than politics
They don't like public speaking
They have no inclination for public service
They might have to move (or at least maintain 2 residents)
Cost of campaigning
Great character and great at what they do but does not transcend to politics
Do not want to go through the public scrutiny (especially with today's social media access)
Spouse tells them not no but hell no
Kids tell them not no but hell no
Many, many more reasons.
I'm sure our political process discourages a lot of decent people from seeking public office, and is responsible at least in part, for our congress being filled with power hungry attention whores. I certainly won't argue against that. Term limits could possibly cull the herd a bit, but what else could you realistically do about it?
Ahh, pompous would be if I said certain things without provocation.. when someone say's I haven't read any of what I've claimed, yet I've continually referenced those works in my posts it's frustrating
Real genuine musicians would never do American Idol.
I can reference books without reading them. I can find superficial comparisons or thoughts from them and throw them in my posts. But that does not mean that I've read them. If you've actually read Dostoevsky, you would know that he is completely antithetical to Thoreau. From this, I know that you have not read at least one of these authors and have just thrown them in your posts to make yourself sound intelligent.
I'm pretty sure that Che Guevara and Scott Avett are rather 'antithetical'.. one is okay with killing, the other gets sick at the sight of fighting. Those two men were listed, and I seem to draw influence from both of them.
I've never watched American Idol. Not even once. Can I have a cookie?
You are extraordinarily stupid.
Who are some of our past politicians that served who were high in character? Perhaps they served before things got so rough?

With football season in full swing and the Superbowl right around the corner one of my favorite things comes to mind.
More so, finger food.
Wings..Dips..Brownies..Mini sandwiches, you know–the works. Besides of course being around family, and friends that's probably my favorite thing about the Superbowl.. And the commercials. ;)
When I saw Target had online coupons for some Rubbermaid Take Alongs I was all over it. You can never have too many food storage containers, especially if you're like me and end up always leaving them at the party. Whoops!
They have a ton of different sizes, from SUPER big, to nice and small.
I picked up the deep square ones and some of the medium rectangle containers. Perfect for the items I bring.
Chili dip and brownies.
My favorite thing about these Rubbermaid Take Along containers are how tight the lids snap. Even if you drop them, not that I have…ahem. The lids didn't pop off at all. And, when you're carrying chili dip– that's a heaven sent. They're also really affordable (under $5.00 for each set I got.. Plus the coupon!) so when you do accidentally leave them at the party, you're not out a ton of money or a sentimental storage dish that your grandmother passed down to you and really get mad at yourself. Not that I've uh, done that either.
So the snacks are made.. Just waiting on some football and friends!
Oh.. Pst! Want to know something else?!
Rubbermaid is hosting a Game Day Party Sweepstakes. They are offering the chance to win an Easy Find Lids Party Pack, a 48Qt Cooler and $100 VISA gift card! To enter the sweepstakes check it out here: http://www.rubbermaid.com/sweepstake/pages/sweepstakeRegistration.aspx?sweepstakeId=35
Entries are limited to one entry per person / per email address / per day. Sweepstakes starts December 19, 2012 and ends January 21, 2013. Good Luck!
And, don't forget to head on over to Target and print out the coupon for your own Rubbermaid Take Alongs and if you'd like, check them out elsewhere on the web. They're all over the place! Even Pinterest!

Fossil Butte
National Monument
Beautifully preserved fish . . . with delicate fins, tail rays and scales, all virtually undisturbed . . . are entombed here in thinly layered sediments recording the abundant life and ecology of an ancient subtropical lake. Wilmot Bradley, US Geological Survey
Three ancient great lakes existed in the region of Wyoming, Utah, and Colorado 50 million years ago: Lake Gosiute, Lake Uinta, and Fossil Lake, the smallest. All are gone today, but they left behind a wealth of fossils in lake sediments that turned into the rock layer known as the Green River Formation, made up of laminated limestone, mudstone, and volcanic ash. The fossils are among the most nearly perfectly preserved remains of ancient plant and animal life in the world. Some of the most extraordinary of these fossils came from Fossil Lake, represented today by a flat-topped remnant of rock that stands where the center of Fossil Lake once was. Fossil Butte National Monument preserves the butte and its invaluable, fascinating record of the past.
The fossils of Fossil Lake are remarkable for their numbers and the broad spectrum of species found here: more than 20 kinds of fish, 100 varieties of insects, and an as yet uncounted number of plants. Paleontologists, the scientists who study fossils, and private collectors have unearthed thousands of specimens during the past 100 years. Many billions more lie buried in the butte and surrounding ridges protected and preserved for future paleontologists to study. The fossils are remarkable for their detail. Many of the fish, for example, retain not only their entire skeletons, but their teeth, delicate scales, and skin as well. And perhaps most remarkable of all is the story the fossils tell of an ancient life and landscape.
The scene 50 million years ago, during the Eocene Epoch of the Cenozoic Era, was quite different from that today. Fossil Lake, 50 miles long and 20 miles wide at its maximum, nestled among mountains in a lush green forest of palms, figs, cypress, and other subtropical trees and shrubs. Willows, beeches, oaks, maples, and ferns grew on the lower slopes, and on the cool mountain sides was a spruce and fir forest. In and around the warm waters of the lake, animal life was diverse and abundant. A broad range of fish inhabited the tributaries, shallows, and deep water of Fossil Lake during its unusually long life of more than 2 million years. Gars, paddlefish, bowfins, and stingrays, though they may appear primitive to some, still survive today, as do herring, perch, and mooneyes. The lakeshore was alive with crocodiles and turtles; insects, dog-sized horses, and early primates inhabited the land; birds and bats mastered the air.
This vibrant scene is gone now because of profound climate changes and the disappearance of the lakes. But the site of ancient Fossil lake and many of the fossils that tell its story will be protected in perpetuity at Fossil Butte National Monument. Here, paleontologists and park visitors alike can discover the past.
Fossils of Ancient Fossil Lake
For number, variety, and detail of fossil fish, few places can equal ancient Fossil Lake. Its fossils enable us to take a close look at what life was like at Fossil Lake 50 million years ago. Fish are the most common fossils by far. Millions of herrings that swam in schools are preserved as images-in-stone. Specimens of bigger predatory fish, such as 5-foot-long gars and a 4-foot-long bowfin, are rarer. Altogether more than 20 species of freshwater fish have been identified at Fossil Lake; many are recognizable as ancestors or close cousins of some of today's species. Besides the fossil fish, there are hundreds of other forms of life captured in stone. The delicate bones of a fossil bat, the oldest known in North American, and a remarkably complete fossil snake were preserved here. Snail shells, insect impressions, crocodiles, freshwater turtles, bird skeletons, feather impressions, and plant remains (leaves, seeds, stems, and flowers blown or washed out into the lake) - these, and more, are part of the buried treasure of fossils unearthed at Fossil Lake.
Ideal Conditions for Fossil-Making. What events led to the preservation of so much of Fossil Lake's life as fossils? No one knows for sure, but after careful study scientists have developed theories to explain the process. One essential ingredient for preservation, they believe, was rapid burial in calcium carbonate, which precipitated out of the water and fell like a constant gentle rain to the bottom of Fossil Lake. Whatever sank to the bottom - dead fish, fallen leaves - was covered by this protective blanket. Year after year for hundreds of thousands of years, this reoccurred. Some of the most perfectly preserved fossils come from the deep-water sediment layers of whitefish to buff-colored calcite limestone alternating with brown oil shale commonly called the 18-inch layer. The fossils are generally adult fish. An equally important fossil-bearing layer comes from nearer the lake shallows and is composed of a lighter-colored limestone with faint lamination that splits easily due to the lack of organic material. Thus, its name: the split-fish layer, which averages 6½-feet-thick. Here one finds younger fish and species that would have survived better in the near shore shallows - crayfish and stingrays, for example.
Unsolved Mysteries. While many of Fossil Lake's animals and plants probably died natural deaths, on several occasions huge numbers of fish were killed suddenly. These die-offs are recorded on great slabs of the Green River Formation called mass mortality layers.
- What killed these fish?
- A super-bloom of blue-green algae that emitted poisons into the water?
- A sudden change in water temperature or in salinity?
- All of these?
The Park Today
Fossil Butte National Monument today is a semi-arid landscape of flat-topped buttes and ridges dominated by sagebrush, other desert shrubs, and grasses. It might be hard to imagine that 50 million years ago a lake teeming with life existed here in the midst of a subtropical climate. But the evidence is in the rocks around you.
In the park, the Green River Formation, which consists of the lake sediments of Fossil Lake, appears as layers of tan-buff-colored sedimentary rock near the top of Fossil Butte and surrounding ridges. It is in the 200- to 300-foot-thick formation that millions of fish and other fossils are found. Other fossil-bearing rock formations, laid down at different times or at different sites, also exist here. The most prominent is the red, pink, and purple Wasatch Formation - a stream deposited layer underlying, interfingering, and overlaying the Green River Formation - that has yielded the fossil remains of primitive horses, a rhino-sized mammal known as Coryphodon, early primates, crocodiles, turtles, lizards, and plants. Fossils are best discovered at the visitor center museum. If you happen to see fossils along the park's two fossil trails, or elsewhere, leave them undisturbed. And while you're here take time to enjoy the life and landscape of the park.Fossil Collecting, Past and Present
Some of the first fossil fish from the Green River Formation were collected by geologist Dr. John Evans in 1856 and described scientifically by Joseph Leidy. Not all early collectors were scientists; Union Pacific Railroad workers discovered the "Petrified Fish Cut" near Rock Springs station in the 1860s. A few years later the railroad was routed near Fossil Butte. Other collectors were men and women - sometimes whole families - fascinated by the fossils they found. Robert Lee Craig, who quarried fish from Fossil Butte and Fossil Ridge to the south, spent 40 years, from 1897 to 1937, quarrying and preparing fish for museums and private collections throughout the world. David C. Haddenham worked the Fossil Butte sites for more than 50 years in this century.
Several families have come to the basin for what has amounted to a life's work for many of them.
Many of the countless fossils they dug out and carefully prepared are studied and exhibited today in museums across the United States, including the Field Museum in Chicago, the American Museum of Natural History in New York, the University of Wyoming Geological Museum at Laramie, and the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History in Washington, DC The extensive collections reflect the toils of private and scientific collectors of the past 100 years.
Today collecting continues outside the park on private lands and on Wyoming state lands leased by permit only. Rare finds on state lands are turned over to the University of Wyoming for scientific study. Collecting within Fossil Butte National Monument is now limited to special permit research projects that will further scientific understanding of Fossil Lake. Other collecting is disallowed by the Antiquities Act of 1906 that makes it illegal to remove or injure "objects of antiquity" found on federal lands.

text: If you like action/adventure games and movies like Conan the Barbarian and The 13th Warrior you will LOVE The Mark of Kri. I purchased this game last week with a little skepticism and was completely floored at how cool it was. During your quest for high adventure you will need to be as stealthy as possible but some confrotations can't be avoided. The gameplay is where this game really shines with an easy combat system and a training area available to hone your warrior skills. The graphics are kinda Disney-ish but don't be fooled this game is ULTRA VIOLENT. So before the big titles start hitting in the next few months do yourself a favor and don't let this little gem slip buy it's a Sony direct title so it should retail for a mere $39.99.

Refreezing food
Occasionally, frozen foods are partially or completely thawed because of delays in getting them into the freezer, a power outage, or a change of plans for cooking the food.
The basis for safety in refreezing foods is the temperature at which you held thawed foods, and how long you held them after thawing. Look closely at frozen foods you thawed partially to determine if they can be safety refrozen. Completely thawed meats must be cooked before refreezing.
Foods may be safely refrozen if they still contain ice crystals. Put the packages in the coldest part of the freezer, mark them and use them within two or three months.
If a food is completely thawed, but still cold, and refrigerator temperature (34 – 40 degrees F), move to the refrigerator and use it within two days. Do not refreeze.
If food is completely thawed, warmed to room temperature or left out of the refrigerator for more than two hours, throw the food out for safety's sake. These principles apply to meat, poultry, shellfish, some vegetables and cooked foods.
Many vegetables are safe to refreeze. However, they lose much of their texture, flavor and appearance even if ice crystals are present in the package. You may want to cook the thawed vegetables and eat them right away or add to soup or stew later.
appearance, flavor and texture
from refreezing, you may want
to make them into jam instead.
If the entire freezer has partially thawed it may be necessary to ask friends or neighbors to refreeze some food packages for you. A freezer can only refreeze 1 or 2 pint packages per cubic foot per 24 hours. Refreezing smaller amounts of food insures that the food refroze safely and with the smallest amount of added ice crystals forming.
Thawed fruit and fruit juice concentrates can be refrozen if they taste and smell good. These foods ferment as they spoil, so check for "off" flavor. Since thawed fruits suffer in appearance, flavor and texture from refreezing, you may want to make them into jam instead.
You can cook and eat thawed but still cold food mixtures like casseroles, pot pies, frozen dinners, or pizzas but do not refreeze them.
Do not refreeze ice cream and similar frozen desserts. You can safely refreeze breads, cookies and similar bakery items. However, the end product is likely to be a drier, lower quality product.
In making decisions about refreezing foods, always consider safety first. Then consider the loss of quality. With some foods, the loss of quality may be so great that it's not worth refreezing them.

I thought the whole world's economy was supposed to crumble? It doesn't sound like that's happening. In fact, stocks are flying high. That leads me to conclude that reducing government spending even more, including military spending, might actually be a good thing. MORE CUTS!

Military spending should be controled, just like any other house hold or company, to be sure there is no one miss using materials and/or money with in it's control. BUT our military needs to take care of its personel and honor its commitments to provide health care for its employee's and those who were injured in the line of duty. This is not happining due to the curant BS that is going on from the top down. Demand that our greatest asset, the soldier, is taken care of before all else. After all they have done to provided safty for all of us, now we need to provide for them.

They won't shut down--not with the lab here

This sort of thing happens every time government is forced to reduce their spending, whether it is federal or state level. Rather than cut the things that sorely need to be cut, they instead cut things that will induce the most pain to taxpayers. The Obama Administration has gone to great lengths this time to punish the taxpayers, seemingly because he thinks they will take out their wrath on the Republicans in Congress. What is so cynical about that is that Sequestration was Obama's idea - it was a misguided ploy that backfired on him. What is so ludicrous about the whole thing is that the Democrats are making it sound like Sequestration is going to devastate the country. The reality is the Federal government needs to cut spending by 20 TIMES that amount just to balance the budget. If Obama wants to same some FAA money, he needs to curtail the number of flights he takes to "campaign" and his monthly vacations; and to clip the flying wings of Congress.

It's only a few million kids whose parents will get reduced food stamps. No big deal. Having a balanced budget is so much more important than kids going to bed hungry.

Well, what bothers me about this is that I have not heard what cuts/furloughs/paycuts our Congress taking to help this economy.
And any job that is an "appointed" job will not be affected. Which means all 140 secretaries/staff that Michelle Obama has on her staff will be sitting pretty because these (which are friends or family) are appointed. Yep, Michelle Obama has 10 times more secretaries/staff then any other First Lady has ever had. And guess what folks, we pay for all of them. It is our tax money. So think of that while you are being furloughed.

Every Mother Counts: Christy's Voice
We asked guest blogger Christy Turlington Burns to describe the creation of the Every Mother Counts CD from her point of view. Christy's documentary about worldwide maternal health, No Woman, No Cry, airs on May 7 at 9:30 p.m. EST/PST on the OWN Network.
It was exactly this time last spring when I woke up early to get my kids off to school and head back into the edit room to finish, No Woman, No Cry. Our deadline was looming as the Tribeca Film Festival was literally upon us, where we were slated to premiere the film (after nearly 2 years of hard work).
As was my usual routine, I scrolled through emails. I gulped my coffee down and nearly choked when I noticed an email had come in from Howard Schultz. I had met Howard briefly in fall 2009 at the home of a mutual friend and was surprised to hear from him.
Howard's email to me read more or less like: "… it has come to my attention that you are currently making a documentary about maternal health and Starbucks would like to find a way to support your work" …
This was one of those emails that you read several times to be sure you have read what you think you have read. I responded immediately with a very enthusiastic, yet somewhat controlled, "Yes, I would very much welcome an opportunity to partner with Starbucks for maternal health."
What followed was a conference call with my producer and friend, Dallas Brennan Rexer, and several people from Starbucks: Laura and Vivek Varma, Chris Bruzzo and David Legry, (the man, father and walking music lexicon) who had brought my project to his team at Starbucks after reading an article about the documentary I was making.
One year later, after a great deal of hard work, dedication and utter persistence, we celebrated with the launch of the Every Mother Counts CD in participating Starbucks stores across the United States and Canada.
I am so proud of this CD, as it represents the link between the film and an audience who likely has yet to learn about the global tragedy of maternal mortality. This incredible, soulful collection of songs contributed by these powerhouse-artist-mamas is exactly the aim of the Every Mother Counts campaign – to engage and mobilize mainstream audiences to action. There is perhaps nothing more engaging and universal than music. If you listen closely, what comes across most is the absolute strength and vulnerability of our moms. What better way to celebrate our mothers than by elevating our very existence through these "sweet and bittersweet" songs about motherhood?
Our goal is to engage people who never considered how big this issue is with a message that you can help and make a difference. I invite you to learn more by visiting everymothercounts.org. Join our Facebook community, and share your own story about what it felt like becoming a mom with a tapestry of moms from around the world all united by this universal issue.
Thank you for listening, for caring and for sharing, if it so moves you. Remember, $8 from the sale of each Every Mother Counts CD in Starbucks stores will be donated to CARE, in association with Every Mother Counts, to support maternal health care worldwide. Your purchase of this CD will help to benefit maternal health programs in coffee-growing countries, which just so happen to carry some of the highest burdens of maternal deaths.

A convicted sex offender has been found not guilty of defying court orders to stay away from children.
John Ernest Jacobs was acquitted this morning at provincial court in St. John's.
He has been in jail since he was arrested on June 24 of last year, after he was spotted by police officers in the area of a daycare in Torbay.
The 44-year-old had been charged with breaching probation and vagrancy. The charge of vagrancy was withdrawn by the Crown.
Jacobs had been convicted and sentenced to six months in jail last year for breaching those same orders of staying away from anyone under the age of 14 in December 2012. At that time, he was seen several times peering into the windows of a house where a five-year-old girl lived. He was also seen watching children toboggan at a hill on Empire Avenue, near the Elks Club.
When Jacobs was released from jail, police had surveillance on him.
Rumours point to wrong man: police
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••In June last year, officers saw him walking back and forth in front of a daycare and school in Torbay. They said his eyes were focused on the children in the playground and he was seen rubbing his groin area a few times as he watched them.
However, Judge Jim Walsh said because Jacobs was across the street and not on the daycare or school property, it doesn't constitute the charge of "attending at" a daycare or playground.
"You were 50 feet from being found guilty," Walsh said to Jacobs.
The judge also pointed out that there had been no complaints from anyone at the daycare and that no one had reported seeing him except officers.
However, Jacobs was convicted of making harassing phone calls.
In April last year, he randomly called a number from the phone book and reached a residence in Conception Bay South. A young boy answered and Jacobs asked to speak with his five-year-old sister. Jacobs had heard a male voice calling the girl's name in the background and then asked the boy who she was.
Walsh sentenced Jacobs to six months in jail. But it's considered time served, since Jacobs has been in jail for almost seven months.
He will now serve two years' probation, with conditions that he have no contact with the family he called.
Jacobs has an extensive criminal record.
It includes a conviction for invitation to sexual touching involving a child in March 2009. He was sentenced to 18 months in jail for that offence, along with breaching court orders.
His record also includes convictions for such crimes as assault, performing indecent acts, 15 counts of making harassing phone calls and 21 convictions for breaching court orders.
He had just been released from Dorchester Penitentiary in New Brunswick in March 2011.
Police said that when Jacobs was arrested, officers notified daycare administrators, who in turn, issued letters to parents.
Police said it caused concern among parents of children in the community.
Walsh told Jacobs that even though he acquitted him of the first charge, "you clearly have issues that need to be addressed."
Jacobs agreed to seek treatment and to work with his probation officer to participate in counselling programs.

Speaking Event: David Bacon on Mexican Migration
"The Right To Stay Home: How U.S. Policy Drives Mexican Migration"
Hosted by Miguel Guerrero
"David Bacon's book, The Right To Stay Home is a must read for organizers, immigrant advocates, …and citizens who care about our history and values as a nation. This book puts a human face on the immigration debate, its impact on people on both sides of the border, and the indispensable elements of real comprehensive immigration reform—who got us into this mess, and what we need to do to fix it." — Eliseo Medina, International Secretary of the Service Employees International Union, former vice-president of the United Farm Workers
More than 25 years since the last significant revision of national immigration policy, comprehensive reform is finally being debated in Congress, offering the promise of a path to citizenship for the 11 million undocumented immigrants currently living and working in the U.S. However, until such reform is official, those millions of workers are "illegal" people, denied basic rights in the country in which they have lived for years.
Now investigative reporter and labor activist David Bacon - in his brilliant new book "The Right To Stay Home: How U.S. Policy Drives Mexican Migration" – reveals how globalization and U.S. policy propel the forces that drive Mexican migrants across the border. Through his own analysis and migrants' dramatic stories in their own voices, Bacon proves the decision to migrate is rarely voluntary. He demonstrates exactly how indigenous communities across Mexico struggle with the brutal human cost of globalization, and then must cope with the U.S. criminalizing of migrants driven from their homelands.
Award-winning photojournalist and author David Bacon spent twenty years as a labor organizer. For the last two decades he has been a reporter, documentary photographer, and longtime radio host. He appears often on KPFA Radio. His previous books included The Children of NAFTA, Communities Without Borders, and Illegal People. Presently an associate editor at Pacific News Service, he also writes for TruthOut, The Nation, The Progressive, The American Prospect and The San Francisco Chronicle. As an immigrant rights activist, Bacon helped organize the Northern California Coalition for Immigrant Rights and the Labor Immigrant Organizers Network.
Miguel Guerrero is the Producer and Host of the weekly show Rock en Rebelión and also KPFA's Web Producer.

Review: JVC DX1000
Pros: A beautiful sounding and looking top of the line headphone from JVC
Cons: slightly unusual midrange sounds better to some people than others
This is a terrific headphone that gets very little "love" on this site. I know it's pricey, and somewhat hard to get in the US, and it definitely has a distinct "personality", but it is capable of making musical magic that few other headphones can approach.
The DX1000 is certainly a bass-head's dream. Has probably the best bass I have ever heard from a headphone. Its very open and transparent sounding, with airy, extended treble and a crystal-clear midrange. The midrange can be just a little odd, sometimes, and I like the DX1000 best with tube amps. But with the Decware CSP-2 and the Ray Samuels Audio The Stealth, the DX1000 is an amazing sounding headphone.
Gratuitous glamor shot of mine:
The DX1000's treble, and overall signature, would be closer to the 650 than the 600, but it is a thing unto itself. Some people absolutely love them; some don't like them at all. But no one debates that they, too, have a powerful bass response. I can say definitively that it goes VERY deep - I measured it with an SPL meter and a Stereophile test CD. The DX1000 can forcefully reproduce 25 Hz - something very few other headphone I have owned can do. But make no mistake - people who like their bass on the light side, like fans of the ATW5000, Sony SA5000, or the like, will find the bass of the DX1000 to be too much.
The mids on the DX1000 are just a little on the warm/lush side, and do have a kind of distinct sound that mostly seems to make music sound more realistic, but occasionally sounds a little bit off. I find this to be very benign, but some people report it to be more problematic. Forewarned is forearmed.
The treble is nicely detailed, but it is slightly soft. Here again, works great for some systems, and some listeners, but not for others.
I should also mentioned that the DX1000's are supremely comfortable. I also think they have amazing soundstage depth, but that the width could be a little better.
The DX1000 is all about just relaxing and enjoying the music! They offer world-class sound that is delivered in a relaxed way that still does not lack detail. If you've been looking for a terrific headphone that doesn't force the music at you, the DX1000 may be just the ticket!

By Parrish Alford/NEMS Daily Journal
OXFORD – The time for making a first impression is past, and it didn't go well for Randall Mackey.
Now a senior, the former Parade All-American is excited to have a chance for a second impression in more ways than one.
A lifetime quarterback, Mackey will figure prominently into the new Hugh Freeze offense at running back when the Rebels open play Saturday night against Central Arkansas.
Mackey's new role hasn't been a secret, but it may grow even larger than expected as back pain lingers for junior Jeff Scott, the Rebels' most experienced back.
"I ain't set goals. I just want to go out with my teammates and win ballgames," Mackey says.
Being out there with teammates was not always a given in 2011. Mackey was set to become the starter for the Rebels' opener against BYU but was suspended for the game following his arrest the week prior.
By the fifth week, he was the starter again, only to lose the job when he was suspended for the last two games. His absence did not go unnoticed.
"He surprised a lot of people. He made a reputation, but he's really turned things around. He's going to have a big year. I'm positive of that," lineman Emmanuel McCray said.
When Freeze assembled his players for spring drills Mackey began at quarterback. Before spring was complete he was at wide receiver, and the day before camp began, Freeze announced that Mackey would move to running back.
Building depth
The move immediately made deeper a position where Scott had the only measurable experience.
The emergence of freshman backs I'Tavius Mathers and Jaylen Walton since then has helped the Rebels create depth at the position.
Earlier this week, running backs coach Derrick Nix said as many as six running backs could get in the game.
That depth is a good thing, but Scott's unclear status could also mean a larger-than-expected role for Mackey in his first start at running back.
Always labeled as a "running quarterback," Mackey has adapted quickly to his new position.
He's got great vision, great timing and balance. It's an innate thing. It's not like we can do a drill," co-offensive coordinator Dan Werner said. "Somebody didn't do a drill with Magic Johnson and teach him to throw no-look passes. He just had it, and we're hoping that Randall just has it."
Running backs coach Derrick Nix says Mackey has balance at the line of scrimmage, something that will serve him well.
Mackey was the team's third-leading rusher a year ago, but that just meant 180 yards after sack yardage was subtracted from a gross figure of 360 yards. His longest run was 28 yards.
Running as the quarterback – when defenses are often dropping back on a pass play – and running as the running back are different things.
Priority No. 1 is ball-security.
"Mike Marry and Aaron Garbutt, the rest of those linebackers, after a month of hitting them, I think I'm good for contact in the SEC. All them guys bring it every day," Mackey said.
Mackey has "brought it" with the attitude change.
Smiling when he discusses a team meeting room, he takes pride in the fact that the coaches are taking pride in him.
"I said when I got here I thought he could be a special player if he got his act together off the field. He seems to have done that to this point," Freeze said. "I'm very cautiously optimistic that that will continue."

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 9:25 PM GMT on July 18, 2012
The coldest place in Greenland, and often the entire Northern Hemisphere, is commonly the Summit Station. Located at the top of the Greenland Ice Sheet, 10,551 feet (3216 meters) above sea level, and 415 miles (670 km) north of the Arctic Circle, Summit rarely sees temperatures that rise above the freezing mark. In the 12-year span 2000 - 2011, Summit temperatures rose above freezing only four times, according to weather records researcher Maximiliano Herrera. But remarkably, over the past week, temperatures at Summit have eclipsed the freezing mark on five days, including four days in a row from July 11 - 14. There are actually three weather stations located at the location--Summit, Summit-US, and Summit AWS. The highest reliable temperature measured at any of the three stations is now the 3.6°C (38.5°F) measured on Monday, July 16, 2012 at Summit-US. A 4.4°C reading at Summit in May, 2010 is bogus, as can be seen by looking at the adjacent station. Similarly, a 3.3°C reading from June 2004 is also bad. Records at Summit began in 1987.
Video 1. A 20-ton tractor attempting to repair a bridge washed out by the raging Watson River on July 11, 2012 in Kangerlussauaq, Greenland gets washed downstream. The driver escaped unharmed. Image taken from an article, Warm air over the ice sheet provides great drama in Greenland, at the Danish Meteorological Institute's web site.
Record heat leads to major flooding in Greenland
The record heat has triggered significant melting of Greenland's Ice Sheet. According to the Arctic Sea Ice Blog, on July 11, glacier melt water from the Russell Glacier flooded the Watson River, smashing two bridges connecting the north and south of Kangerlussuaq (Sønder Strømfjord), a small settlement in southwestern Greenland. The flow rate of 3.5 million liters/sec was almost double the previous record flow rate. The latest forecast for Summit calls for cooler conditions over the coming week, with no more above-freezing temperatures at Summit.
Another huge iceberg calves off of Greenland's Petermann Glacier
A massive ice island two times the size of Manhattan and half as thick as the Empire State Building calved off of Greenland's Petermann Glacier on Monday, July 16, 2012. According to Andreas Muenchow, associate professor of physical ocean science and engineering at the University of Delaware's College of Earth, Ocean, and Environment in his Icy Seas blog, the break-off point has been visible for at least 8 years in satellite imagery, and has been propagating at 1 km/year towards Nares Strait. The same glacier calved an iceberg twice as big back on August 4, 2010--the largest iceberg observed in the Arctic since 1962. The freshwater stored in that ice island could have kept the Delaware or Hudson rivers flowing for more than two years, or kept all U.S. public tap water flowing for 120 days. "While the size is not as spectacular as it was in 2010, the fact that it follows so closely to the 2010 event brings the glacier's terminus to a location where it has not been for at least 150 years," Muenchow said in a university press release. "Northwest Greenland and northeast Canada are warming more than five times faster than the rest of the world, but the observed warming is not proof that the diminishing ice shelf is caused by this, because air temperatures have little effect on this glacier; ocean temperatures do, and our ocean temperature time series are only five to eight years long — too short to establish a robust warming signal."

Figure 2. Look familiar? Two years ago, a 100 square-mile ice island broke off the Petermann Glacier. It was the largest iceberg in the Arctic since 1962. Image taken by NASA's Aqua satellite on August 21, 2010. Image credit: NASA. I've constructed a 7-frame satellite animation available here that shows the calving and break-up of the Petermann Glacier ice island. The animation begins on August 5, 2010, and ends on September 21, with images spaced about 8 days apart. The images were taken by NASA's Aqua and Terra satellites.

Here is an article by the St Paul Pioneer Press about the early Minnesota spring turkey harvest through season A.
http://blogs.twincities.com/outdoors/20 ... ly-season/
Generally speaking, wild turkeys do just fine in Minnesota's cold weather.
Especially so when the cold weather keeps the hunters away.
It should come as no surprise that far fewer birds were killed in the early part of this spring's hunting season than last year.
Hunters killed 1,723 birds during the A Season, which began April 17 to and ended Sunday, said Steve Merchant, who's overseeing the spring season for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. That's actually pretty impressive considering the weather the first two days of the season.
Last year, 3,160 birds were killed in the A Season.
The B Season began Monday and ends Friday. Totals might not be available until next week.

"2nd Tour, Hope I Don't Die"
The chaos and humanity of war, as chronicled by the 2012 winner of the W. Eugene Smith Grant for Humanistic Photography.
Magnum photographer Peter van Agtmael recently won the 2012 W. Eugene Smith Grant for Humanistic Photography, one of the top awards for photojournalism. He will receive $30,000 to work on his project "Disco Nights September 11," which continues the work van Agtmael started with "2nd Tour, Hope I Don't Die." The new project explores effects of the wars on people from Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as on refugees in the US, Europe, and especially in other countries in the Middle East. Herein is a review of his first book, "2nd Tour, Hope I Don't Die," published on MotherJones.com in 2009. (WARNING: contains some graphic images.)
"This is how I saw America's wars from January 2006 until December of 2008. I wanted to make pictures that reflected my complex and often contradictory experiences, where the line was continuously blurred between perpetrator and victim, between hero and villain. In time, the labels that had heretofore defined my perceptions of the world became meaningless. If I found any truth in war, I found that in the end everyone has their own truth." –Peter van Agtmael
Magnum photographer Peter van Agtmael followed the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq as an embedded photojournalist from 2006 to 2008. Sure, his unflinching work captures the brutality, chaos, and carnage of war. But van Agtmael's photos also deliver the extreme tedium, the moments of tranquility, the humanity, and the utter confusion—in ways that stir those of us here, safely at home.
That's hard to do. The repetition of images from these wars, year after year, has numbed many of us to the story. Our eyes reflexively glaze over when we see photos of people buried under the camo helmets, packs, guns, and sunglasses.
In his book, 2nd Tour, Hope I Don't Die, van Agtmael's photos crack the jaded glaze we've all developed. Part of what mezmerizes are the captions and other written parts of the book. Here, van Agtmael connects the reader to the place before/during/after the shutter closed. What led up to a bloodied boy against a wall scowling at the camera? What happened to the soldier in the ER, staring directly through the camera at you, the viewer? It's this dimension of backstory that makes van Agtmael's work so exceptional. That, and his commitment to to following the story back to the United States, where it continues.
All photos from Peter van Agtmael's book, 2nd Tour, Hope I Don't Die (2009, Photolucida).
Van Agtmael won the prestigious Photolucida Critical Mass Award in 2008 for this work. 2nd Tour, Hope I Don't Die is the end result of that award.
