Last year, with a massive shift to corn contemplated for the South, a big concern was how the crop might be stored. Large storage bags — already used successfully elsewhere in the world — were touted as a potential solution.
But without having used the bags in the South before, the jury was out. Now, a few months after harvest, how has the storage option done? Very well, it turns out.
To monitor the storage bags, Dennis Gardisser and colleagues put in studies in southeast and northeast Arkansas. They also talked to numerous producers "who shared their experiences with the bags," says the Extension agricultural engineer with the University of Arkansas. "To summarize: I believe these bags will be a very viable alternative for short-term storage."
Moisture levels
Grain needs to be put into bags at a consistent moisture level — market moisture (for corn, 15.5 percent), or below. The higher the moisture when bagged, the greater the potential for damage or degradation of grain quality.
"When grain was put in at 15.5 percent moisture, or less, we found no heating or grain quality issues develop. We did find pockets of grain — maybe more moist loads cut early in the morning — that went into the bag at higher moistures evolved into issues that reduced grain quality in those locations in the bag."
Interestingly, the moisture in the bags doesn't seem to migrate. In a grain bin, the air movement carries the moisture with it. But in the sealed bags — "and they must be sealed to work properly — there's no such air movement. There's no carrying mechanism. The only way for the moisture to transfer is wicking and that seems slow to occur. Still, we're encouraging bag-users to avoid making the wet pockets."
The storage bags also need to be monitored regularly. "We've seen a lot of things happen. Dogs get on them and make toe-tracks. Having them walk across the bags isn't a big deal. But where they dig their claws into the sides to get up top, they can damage the bags."
Rats particularly like the bags and leave large holes. They tear into the bags, burrow deep and make a home where "I imagine they're quite happy."
Crows have been trouble in some areas of the state. "Crows are smart critters and they seem to like having something to land on. Then, they drop off near the bags. We're encouraging folks not to put the bags next to a tree line. The crows don't seem to bother bags in the open on a turn-row. But they can peck 100 holes a day in the bags easily."
Coyotes sometimes bother bags placed on turnrows. The bags have a small inch-square plug-in that "the coyotes grab onto with their teeth and then pull the entire apparatus out."
If he repeats the test, Gardisser, says the bags will be situated so the receptacle is atop the bag. "The coyotes won't be able to reach it quite as easily. We know it was coyotes, incidentally, because the bags get a dust on them. Their paw prints gave them away."
As for raccoons, when filling the bags, the less grain spilled the better. "It's the same for crows, actually. I encourage growers to clean up spilled grain because that draws coons in. And they'll figure out how to get in the bags.
"If the bags are gathered in a yard, I'd use some electric fence. Those aren't that expensive and can be paid for with the damage a couple of coons can do."
Gardisser has neither seen nor heard of deer bothering the bags. "What we have seen are some deer hunters. Not everyone is honest and there have been reports from the Game and Fish Commission as well as producers where people — they assume they're hunters — back up a pickup to the bags, make a gaping hole with a pocket knife, fill the bed and drive away. Deer corn rustlers."
Checking temperatures
To keep from puncturing the bags, Gardisser placed probes at two- and four-foot depths. "We left the thermocouple wires in the bags and, once a week, plugged them into a handheld instrument for readings. We've since plotted those."
Researchers found after filling the bags, the temperatures inside were the same as air temperature. As the season progressed, the bag temperatures began to cool.
"The 2-foot level cooled faster than the center, which is expected with less insulation."
Initially, the levels were running at the same temperatures. But it wasn't long before there was a downward slope in the bag temperatures.
"If there's anything causing grain to degrade there's usually a heating process. So we were looking for any temperatures going up. We kept hearing stories about the (aforementioned) pockets being discovered when the bags were being unloaded.
"So we probed and took samples in multiple locations and found no similar issues. But others have. Again, our insistence on the grain being bagged at 15.5 percent moisture, or less, may have made the difference."
Storage bag users must also deal properly with water. The orientation of the bags "needs to be such that they don't act as a dike. You don't want a lot of water on an uphill slope having to run the full length of the bags. In those circumstances, any pinpricks or holes in the bags will lead to water damage."
Gardisser has been impressed with the bagging equipment. "It's well thought out. After a guy has filled and emptied the bags a couple of times, the process is pretty slick.
How long can corn confidently be held in the bags? "I'm real comfortable saying two or three months. The neat thing about these storage bags is they allow producers to move into the December/January market window. They're able to hold corn from the rice and maximize marketing strategies."
And using the bags means the combine doesn't have to stop. "Having the ability to take the truck to an elevator and get it unloaded immediately can be a problem. When the crop is ready, it needs to be harvested, not waiting for trucks."
However, a producer needs to be careful if he stores corn in the bags for four to six months. "We don't have experience with the bags for a longer period. But we know the longer you hold grain in wet, winter months, (the chances for degradation increase)."
The quality coming out of bags that held a seal seems excellent. But the seal must be tight, warns Gardisser.
"One thing we'll recommend to the bag manufacturer is that a small receptacle-friendly opening be fabricated into the bag. I don't know if they'll be able to do that, but a solution is needed. There needs to be a better way to check the bag temperatures. We do the same with cotton modules when we check them for heat.
"There needs to be one of those openings every 10 feet, or so. A producer could then go down the bag with a thermocouple and a small, rigid probe."

Yup Happy Birthday!
What's going on, guys? My name's Karel, and I certainly enjoy reading, gaming, ladies, and good music. To start with some few examples of those aforementioned hobbies, I like reading Science Fiction, Fantasy, as well as a bit of Thriller... and a little bit of Horror too, perhaps? Sure. And, ah, gaming! What's better than to immerse yourself in a virtual world filled with wild things that one can wildly imagine. For the most part, I play these respective genres: first-person/third-person, real-time strategy, and simulation (be it military or a specified simulator). Look at the blog for the list of games I currently play. As for music, I love orchestral, instrumental, and Rock. Audiomachine, Hans Zimmer, and the likes - those are good artists in their own ways. I also do random video recording... just for the fun and heck of it. Whatever the actual reasons are, I frankly do not know. I also enjoy reading history. Why? Well, history's always fun and interesting! Well, maybe not always...
Yup Happy Birthday!
He got Spoiled I bought him all the DLC too :P

That little guy is so cute how he hangs on to his mom. To think I was going to go up and meet Carol the Friday she saw him, and chose to go diving in West Palm instead. Anyway I probably would have been so excited I would have stirred up the water so Carol would not have been able to get pics.
Posted 13 March 2008 - 07:37 PM
I posted a bunch 'o manatee photos:
Wonderful Eric, see everyone Eric goes just 1 & 1/2 times w/me and gets such great shots!! B) Conditions were not even that good, honestly. But of course "Angel" was the star and in any conditions he shines!!
Nice Eric,
That little guy is so cute how he hangs on to his mom. To think I was going to go up and meet Carol the Friday she saw him, and chose to go diving in West Palm instead. Anyway I probably would have been so excited I would have stirred up the water so Carol would not have been able to get pics.
Everyone, Jeff is probably never going to speak to me again because I actually strongly talked him out of going that day!!!!!! I knew the tide and wind would create an extremely low water level (that is one reason why no one was there cause no motorized boats could make the passage for awhile, bet the manatee knew that too - they are soooo smart!!!..)
Anyway I strongly talked Jeff out of going.......... Actually I still don't even know why I went except Bob Bonde - the afternoon before - told me to go. It wasn't because of any pregnant females - he just thought it would be a good am for me to go. I thought "Boy, Bob water level will be real low and I might get "skunked" (aka no manatee at all)......", but I didn't say anything - he is the expert you know...." So I went on a hunch, but even I was a little late that am and not super motivated...... and it sure was COLD....!
I think this is sort of like loaning your friend your 105 on the dive where the whale shark shows up.......... I'll never live this down and will be making lots of excuses I think...
BTW Everyone I went today, 2X (am and pm). It is getting very busy near Easter but oddly this am was very uncrowded, early. Just Bird's, me and another polite captain with a couple of people. These operators have gone to great lengths to educate their snorkelers on the proper manatee interaction and as Eric said "It looks like they are afraid to even touch a manatee".... Well they shouldn't be but it does show they are being educated and trying very hard to let the manatee initiate any interaction....... So some responsible parties are working towards solutions to the crowds, etc.
This am was nice - a few young manatee but no Angel as he was in a different spot. But nice am and this afternoon - nada almost. So the manatee season is winding down and that is good for the manatee as they need to get out to eat some more nutritious food nearer the Gulf of Mexico and find privacy near the Easter holiday.
Of course more pics from me to follow. I'm not as fast as Eric though (and probably never will be....) But I've got more manatee stories!!! Best, Carol

I thought everyone would like to know why he was named Angel! It is on the front page but in case you don't see it there here is the scoop. Best, Carol
Udo's communication:
Hi carol, great photo's. I heard that Angel is named after Angelika, who was there as well when you took the photos? Or was i wrongly informed?
Keep up the good work
Posted by Udo van Dongen on 03/13 at 11:32 AM
My Answer re: "Angel":
Yes Udo, Angel is named after Angelika because she was the second one on the scene [about 40 minutes after I first arrived] and I knew she was coming as we had chatted the day before! I was thinking of a name while I was photoing him at first - then I thought "Angel" cause I wasn't sure if it was a boy or girl and that name can go "both ways".... (in the hispanic community Angel is a very common name for a boy, and of course Angel is a gals name too). I told her I wanted to name it "Angel" and Angelika seemed to be very pleased and said yes!! :-)
So yes it is a boy named "Angel" after Angelika.... :-) Carol

BERLIN (Reuters) - A butcher shop employee in the German town of Braunschweig inadvertently handed a customer a bag containing more than 2,000 euros ($2,835) in cold cash rather than the cold cuts she usually gets.
The 79-year-old pensioner paid five euros for her package of cold cuts and veal steaks. She said she was surprised to find more than she bargained for when she opened the package at home.
"I was completely flabbergasted," the pensioner told Bild newspaper. She called the butcher shop but it had already closed. So she called the police, who later returned it.
The owner of the butcher shop had packed the day's take in a paper bag and placed it, as he usually does, next to the cash register. The employee mistook it for the customer's cold cuts and unwittingly handed her the package.
The honest pensioner got a 100 euro reward from the butcher — and a free basket of sausages.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has moved to further spell out the requirements for wind developers to qualify for the production tax credit (PTC), including a solution to one of the program's most confusing aspects.
On April 15, the IRS ruled that to qualify for the PTC, project developers must demonstrate work of a significant nature, incur 5% of the project's cost by Dec. 31 and ensure the wind farm is under continuous construction.
However, proving continuous efforts was problematic from the start and caused wind developers to flood the federal agency with follow-up questions.
Therefore, on Sept. 20, the IRS further clarified requirements, including adding a placed-in-service date, which would still allow developers to qualify, but without painstakingly proving continuous efforts.
According to the IRS, wind projects started by Dec. 31 and placed into service by Dec. 31, 2015, are eligible to qualify for 45 D of the Internal Revenue Code. The rationale is that if a wind developer met an in-service date, so-called continuous efforts would be assumed.
Developers whose wind projects go into service after 2015 will be required to demonstrate continuous work.
Keith Martin, partner at law firm Chadbourne & Parke, explains some developers complained that this continuous-work requirement was making it difficult to finance projects, as banks and tax equity investors balked at taking the risk that the pattern of future work will fall short of what is required.
The guidance also sought to demystify the program's other vexing requirements, such as the following:
Ownership transfers. The IRS offered additional guidance about when a project or equipment for a project can be transferred after 2013 to another developer or investor without losing 'grandfather' rights to tax credits.
However, this part of the notice only confirmed what the market already assumed was true, Martin explains. 'It did not shed any real new light on transfer issues.'
Master contracts. Master contracts are agreements a developer has with turbine suppliers, balance-of-plant contractors or other vendors. David Burton, a partner at law firm Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, says the earlier April rules contained no reference to "master contract" applicability, which led to questions of whether the master contract rules applied to the 5% safe harbor in 2013.
However, the new rules confirm that the master contract rules apply to both approaches to starting construction.
The clarifications are expected to give wind developers – and financiers – the needed certainty to go forward with development.
'The notice may cause developers to shift back to the physical-work test rather than try to incur at least five percent of the project cost this year,' explains Martin. 'It is easier to start physical work.'
According to Martin, many wind developers had been focusing on the 5% test because it seemed to suggest that a project could be merely under development by the end of 2013 while the physical-work test required that it be truly under construction.
The guidance is welcome news for an industry facing its share of challenges, explains Akin Gump's Burton.
'It should result in a steady stream of wind projects coming online at least through the end of 2015 and leaves open the possibility for projects qualifying for PTCs after 2015,' he says.

Following Lois Lerner's Fifth Amendment plea on May 23 before the House Oversight Committee, Jay Sekulow of the American Center for Law & Justice (ACLJ) announced that he is going to file a lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service in order to stop the targeting of Tea Party groups and in the process of discovery determine where the targeting orders originated.
The time line of those orders and some of the IRS officials involved are already known. Lerner's Fifth Amendment plea only heightens the suspicion that those targeting orders came from higher up, probably much higher up. Wrote Sekulow:
We now know through her own testimony and from the Inspector General's report that Lerner was briefed about this unlawful targeting scheme in June 2011. But nine months later, beginning in March 2012, she sent cover letters to many of our clients, demanding additional information.
At the time Lerner was reporting directly to Sarah Hall Ingram, who in turn reported directly to IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman. Ingram now runs the IRS's ObamaCare enforcement department, while Shulman conveniently retired from the IRS last December, just in time to miss the unfolding of the scandal that was taking place on his watch. Shulman also was the one who denied any wrongdoing back in March 2012 when he said "there is absolutely no targeting" of Tea Party or other patriotic groups filing for tax-exempt status. He's also the one who told Senator John Cornyn (R-Texas) earlier this month that "I am certainly not responsible for making a list that had inappropriate criteria on it," referring to the BOLO (Be On the Look Out) spreadsheet that the Inspector General revealed in his report.
Another link leading to Lerner was Cindy Thomas, who directed the activities of at least six IRS agents assigned to target Tea Party groups for special attention. Thomas reported to Holly Paz, who reported to Lerner.
One of those agents, Joseph Herr, sent a letter to the Ohio Liberty Council on January 26, 2012 that asked the BOLO "list" of intrusive questions and contained two pages of additional requested information supposedly needed to consider the group's request for tax-exempt status that was filed 18 months earlier. The letter, which required compliance within 20 days, asked for:
1. A print out of the Ohio Liberty Council's website.
2. A list of all other social media outlets with print outs.
3. A narrative description of all activities since June 30, 2010, including who conducts the activities and their qualifications, when and where the activities were conducted, how significant each activity is in relation to the total activities of the group, how many participated at each event, how were participants selected, the fee schedule, if any, of the event, and a description of how the activity furthered your exempt purpose.
4. A description of the "associate group members" (the 70 or so local Tea Party groups in Ohio that are affiliated with the Ohio Liberty Council), how the Ohio Liberty Council solicits their membership, what questions they are asked as potential members, what the selection criteria for approval are, whether or not membership is limited to groups that are already exempt under section 501 (c) (4), and the names, Employer Identification numbers, and addresses of all the associate group members.
5. A detailed narrative of every public event "conducted or planned" by the Ohio Liberty Council, including copies of all speeches delivered at these events.
6. A detailed narrative of every candidate forum ever conducted by the Ohio Liberty Council, including copies of all handouts distributed.
7. A detailed narrative of every attempt by the Ohio Liberty council "to influence the outcome of specific legislation," including copies of "all communications, pamphlets, advertisements, and other materials distributed by the organization regarding the legislation," as well as copies of all television, radio, or internet ads.
8. Copies of all written communication between the Ohio Liberty Council and members of any legislative body.
Sekulow said last week that he is planning to file the suit this week and is adding additional plaintiffs to the suit, noting: "We ... believe that suing the IRS is the only way this unlawful abuse will stop, and the only way we will find out the role of Lois Lerner and others in this widening scandal."
What is also likely to come out during the discovery process as this suit proceeds is that those targeting orders came directly from the White House, perhaps even from the president himself. If that is the case, then Sekulow's lawsuit could be one of the hinges that opens the door to the possibility of impeachment of the president, or at least his early retirement. Big doors sometimes swing on such little hinges.

We are attempting to raise read-write or new media kids. Kids that can create content as well as consume it. For now this means, no TV or movies, an emphasis on reading and a healthy diet. (no sugared foods..even Cheerios have a lot of sugar and he even gets flax oil on his bread rather than jam — he has a milk allergy).
My wife is vegetarian so we eat vegetarian at home and the other day we had veggie burgers, to which the 2 year old immediately said upon seeing them "Hamburgers!." He has seen hamburgers mentioned in only one or two books and around the house we always call them veggie burgers. He now insists they are hamburgers despite our corrections and the fact he heard "veggie" burger before ever reading a book with a "hamburger". He was also very excited about having a burger and its the kind of "trademark" excite kids have when they get a "real" pooh bear or other media replica. We had a similar example the other day when he made "pretend" toast for us, then decide to spread "pretend" butter on the toast. Not only has he never had butter on toast, but he has never seen it, as we prefer jam.
So he already prefers the reality which he finds in nicely printed books (albeit read to him by us) than the real reality of our lives. Looks like despite any restrictions we might put on, we are in for an interesting ride as he discovers the world.
Of course I am sure a lot of parents out there are shaking their heads saying "Newbies!"

Winner of the 2017 Edward Fry Book Award from the Literacy Research Association.
Literacy Theories for the Digital Age insightfully brings together six essential approaches to literacy research and educational practice. The book provides powerful and accessible theories for readers, including Socio-cultural, Critical, Multimodal, Socio-spatial, Socio-material and Sensory Literacies. The brand new Sensory Literacies approach is an original and visionary contribution to the field, coupled with a provocative foreword from leading sensory anthropologist David Howes. This dynamic collection explores a legacy of literacy research while showing the relationships between each paradigm, highlighting their complementarity and distinctions. This highly relevant compendium will inspire researchers and teachers to explore new frontiers of thought and practice in times of diversity and technological change.
Digital and social media, multimedia, multimodality, and massive social and cultural changes in our global world are transforming what literacy is and how we ought to study it. Kathy Mills' book is, by far and away, the best guide yet to this new world. It is the New 'New Literacy Studies'.- James Paul Gee, Arizona State University, USA
Literacy studies is moving on and Kathy Mills is helping us move forward, through new approaches, such as socio-spatial literacies, socio-material literacies, and sensory literacies. Many may be wary of all that technical language, but Mills signals her ability to make it comprehensible and leaves the reader with some control to, as the author says, take their own lines of flight. Enjoy the flight!- Brian V. Street, King's College London, UK
Kathy A. Mills' work is truly impressive. The wealth of references contained within the volume makes certainly for a useful reading. But that is not the main asset of the book. What comes through as the strong point of Mills' work is that she has attempted to depict as large, comprehensive and complex a picture as possible of the multiple meanings that "literacy" may have in such a diverse global context as that of our planet in the 21st century.- LINGUIST List 27.3431 - Jose Ignacio Aguilar Río, Sorbonne Nouvelle-Paris 3 University, France
As literacy practices mutate in the digital era, research must evolve, and yet curricula still appear- Journal Of Multilingual And Multicultural Development, 2016 - Sarah McMonagle, University of Hamburg, Germany
to lag behind. Mills addresses her book to graduate students of education, so that they may gain a
vital introduction to some of the key theories that shape literacy education in the digital turn.

Where there's smoke
By Lady Liberty
Just the other day, I was shaking my head over a piece of the latest news concerning potentially unconstitutional action taken virtually unilaterally by our president. A California Congressman claims that President Bush knowingly signed a law that wasn't passed through the House of Representatives In a letter addressed to the White House, Congressman Henry Waxman (D-CA) claims that the White House was warned in advance of the signing that there was a discrepancy between the bill received by the White House and the one actually passed by the House. He says advice as to how to proceed in light of the error was sought, but that the President instead merely signed the bill he had.
If the case is as presented, there is a clear constitutional issue here. In the Presentment Clause of the Constitution, the president can only sign legislation as approved by both houses of Congress. Since the bill he received wasn't so approved, Waxman says that legal scholars have told him that the "substantive differences between the versions" of the bills means constitutional muster wasn't met. The question obviously then becomes one of whether or not the President and his staff knew about the differences before or after the bill was signed on February 8. Waxman claims they knew beforehand.
My coworkers and I often discuss politics. Mostly, those discussions consist of some current focus of disgust. When I mentioned this particular issue, a point was raised that I think is entirely valid. One coworker wondered aloud whether or not the story was true (it's true that Waxman wrote the letter — beyond that, I don't pretend certainty). He said that much of what we hear is merely partisan politics at its best (or its worst, as the case may be). In fact, he submitted that he believed a significant percentage of such accusations were political potshots (more commonly known by those of us who are non-politicians as lies), maybe as much as 50 or 60 per cent.
After some brief thought, he added that there was probably another 10 or 20 per cent of such accusations that were simply mistaken assumptions, to which I myself contributed that perhaps another 20 per cent or so were nothing more or less than vehicles for the "whistleblower" to get his or her own name into the media spotlight. And then, of course, there's the 35 per cent or so that are neither direct lies or honest exposure but instead shady misdirections toward or away from something else entirely.
It all that doesn't add up to 100 per cent, well, there's a reason. That's because politics is all too often overflowing with everything but an honest representation of the people who elected those who are, well, contributing most mightily to the overflow. But that's not to deny the miniscule percentage of something else that also falls somewhere into that 115 to 135 per cent of other stuff and junk, and that is this: the truth.
President George W. Bush has been accused of manipulating (or even ignoring) the Constitution before. In fact, he hadn't even taken his oath of office before some questioned how it was he attained that office (for the record, I'm not personally one of those who blames George W. Bush for a Supreme Court decision that effectively confirmed his election win). Some also consider the War in Iraq to be unconstitutional (the President did go to Congress as he should have done to request authorization and money to do so, both of which were granted, yet there's been some question as to whether or not he knew that some of the evidence he was presenting was illegitimate). But there are other things that are less nebulous.
For example, consider the much-maligned (or highly praised, largely depending on which side of the political aisle you're on) Bipartisan Campaign Finance Reform bill passed by Congress (even I don't question the stated motives behind the measure, though the real motives and the real fall-out of the law is another story). McCain-Feingold is, according to many, a clear violation of the First Amendment. This is something Candidate Bush himself said more than once on the campaign trail. Yet after taking office, President Bush quietly signed McCain-Feingold into law! At the time, there were whispers that he signed it still believing it was unconstitutional, but with the hope the Supreme Court would nullify it (it didn't). So now we can't help but ask whether Candidate Bush was so ignorant of the Constitution that he was wrong in his assessment law, or if President Bush signed an unconstitutional bill into law? The former is lamentable at best, but the latter would be a betrayal of the President's oath of office.
Campaign Finance Reform continues to haunt us, especially those of us who care to express our opinion of political matters. In a recent Action Alert (the vote referenced has since been postponed — which doesn't lessen the urgency of the issue, but which does give us more time to act), The Liberty Committee discusses the case for the Online Freedom of Speech Act. Campaign Finance Reform has now reached the Internet, with the Federal Election Commission being ordered to enforce CFR on the web. Now while that has obvious repercussions for free speech in general, wait 'til you hear the rest: "major" media would be exempt! The implications are even clearer when you begin to wonder how "major" is defined, and just who is allowed to define it. Though no one says so, the defining process alone means that media would effectively be licensed, and if the definers are government agents of one stripe or another, the licensing of media via the government defeats in total the notion of a genuinely free press.
Now we come back full circle as we take note: All of this is a direct result of the President signing McCain-Feingold into law in the first place, an act that may well have been either ignorant or deliberately unconstitutional (you'll forgive me if I'm one of those who thinks there's potential for it to be both). I've not seen anybody questioning Campaign Finance Reform in some time, but the new mandate for the FEC to regulate political speech on the Internet has brought the law back to the forefront where, frankly, it belongs. There's a very real possibility we can keep at least the Internet a sort of electronic "town square" where we can still speak freely. That doesn't however, negate the original question as to why McCain-Feingold was signed.
Many Americans were horrified to learn that the President had unilaterally okayed the National Security Agency to engage in covert surveillance of communications since the 9/11 terror attacks. The problem? There are no warrants, no oversight, and allegations abound that there was no approval from Congress, either. The President's spokespeople suggest the President believed he had the authority based on Congressional approval to engage in the so-called "War on Terror." But many legal scholars disagree both as to the authorization and, in fact, the constitutionality of the program at all.
There was also disagreement in Congress. Most agreed that surveillance was important and necessary in the War on Terror, but many went with public sentiment (at least when they were in public and speaking to the public) when they agreed some oversight and authorization was also important and necessary. Some even went so far as to join those questioning the program's legality. Yet after a brief brouhaha in the media and in the halls of power, it now looks like there won't be an inquiry into the issue after all. Some activists have sued those communications agencies cooperating with the surveillance, and a judge has ordered the Department of Justice to turn over its documentation in the matter in response to a Freedom of Information Act. But calls for action involving the President have quieted.
Not surprisingly all things considered, there have been murmurs about the possibility of impeachment. Of course, some of those "murmurs" have been louder than others, and all too many of them are part and parcel of that percentage we talked of earlier involving pure, unadulterated partisanship. One Senator has talked of censure with a relatively solid rationale to back it, but Russ Feingold (D-WI) hasn't seen much support for his efforts even within his own party.
What all this has been leading to is really summed up quite nicely in one of those old but wise sayings we so often hear: Where there's smoke, there's fire. Of course, sometimes the smoke doesn't really mean fire. Maybe the bacon is merely overcooked. Perhaps there's a cigarette still burning in an ashtray. Or maybe it's not smoke at all. It could just be a little foggy. But in some cases, there are flames already growing higher and hotter, and the longer it takes us to look for the fire, the bigger and more destructive it becomes before we find it.
I don't suggest that the President has broken any laws (although I personally think he may well have). I don't claim to have any inside information that proves anything one way or another. I'm just saying that there's quite a bit of smoke swirling around him. Congress has talked in the past about taking a look at the cause of all that smoke, and many in the public are hearing their own mental smoke detectors beeping loud and clear as well. And yet somehow we're distracted or we're jollied into thinking we're hearing false alarms.
If there are no flames there, wouldn't we all feel a little safer at least knowing with some certainty that there are none? More importantly, if there are, shouldn't we smother them before they spread entirely out of control? It doesn't matter that some 40 per cent of Congress would enjoy finding problems, or that 85 per cent of its members would preen for the press during hearings. What does matter is that 100 per cent of us ought to agree that, if there are problems, they need to be found and addressed sooner rather than later.
Here's my considered suggestion: If Congress continues to decline to investigate, maybe some of its members (pardon the inevitable pun here, but you knew it was coming) should themselves be fired. (Bonus: If they're occupied with hearings and investigations, they're not raising debt ceilings, establishing new programs and agencies to spend more money on, or writing new and even more onerous laws the vast majority of which should be thrown into a bonfire of their own.) In the final analysis, I'm only about 65 per cent convinced there's a fire at all. But boy, oh, boy, I'm 100 per cent sure that's a lot of smoke!

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – The Lipscomb women's tennis team continued action on Saturday night falling 7-0 to homestanding Chattanooga at the Hixson Racquet club in Chattanooga.
"We certainly knew going into this match the level of play would need to rise on our end," head coach Andrew Harris said. "We started off sharp in doubles, however, had trouble maintaining our focus towards the end of the sets. On the singles side we competed well and continued to work on things throughout the matches. At the end of the evening, though, we simply were not able to string enough points together consistently to instill much pressure on them.
"This was a good weekend for us and allows us the opportunity to continue to work on things in practice to come back and be even better next match."
Lipscomb fell in both doubles matches, leaving them with a 0-1 disadvantage heading into singles after a default in the third match due to traveling only five players.
Sophomore Alyssa Bellini and freshman Deahna Welcher fell to Alexa Flynn and Emily Hangstefer at No. 1 doubles, falling 8-3, while senior Elizabeth Keevil and freshman Jenny Borck lost at No. 2 to Jenna Nurik and Kaylene Chadwell 8-6.
With the default at No. 6 and the doubles loss, the Lady Bison began singles play 0-2.
At No. 1 singles, Bellini was blanked by Nurik 6-0, 6-0, while Welcher fell to Chadwell at No. 2 6-1, 6-2.
Borck came up short against Hangstefer at No. 4, falling 6-4, 6-2, and Keevil lost to Shaina Singh 6-3, 6-2 at No. 4. Hansen fell at No. 5 to Charlotte Bossy 6-0, 6-1.
The loss leaves the Lady Bison with a 1-2 record for the season.
The Lady Bison return home for their next match. Lipscomb will face Evansville on Friday, Feb. 3 at Whitworth Racquet Club at 7 p.m.

I can be a gunner as much as anyone else, but when it comes to my approach towards getting my kids reliably toilet-trained, my attitude can euphemistically described as...well, lackadaisical. To be fair, that's their attitude toward the enterprise as well (toilet training is one of the few "big boy" things in which Mack has absolutely no interest--his approach towards pooping in a diaper is the same as Homer Simpsons take on littering: "It's easier. Duh."), but we figured he's not quite ready and we're kind of lazy, so let's all kill the earth a little more and subscribe and save on Amazon Prime, shall we? (Diapers. I'm talking about buying diapers.)
Thankfully (?) the preschool that we're sending Mack to has a more hardline approach towards the matter, and now that he's moving up one level (from the two-and-a-half year-old classroom to the two-and-three-quarters year-old classroom, apparently) they are going full on immersion therapy. No more diapers at school. Only underwear. Sink or swim. Oh, and also, please send in four or five spare changes of clothes for the first few weeks.
We had a few pairs of underwear lying around (I had originally bought them about six months ago as an enticement towards the idea of toilet training--Mack cheerfully tugged one pair on over his diapers and and pair over his head and has continued to wear them this way ever since, so the bloom is kind of off the rose for that one) but this afternoon, in anticipation of the new, uh, addition to his curriculum, we bought a few more packs of briefs for the rotation.
I'm sure in the next few days we're going to be pretty sick of washing these things, but you have to admit--those teeny tiny underoos are pretty freaking cute.

Your article "Till Annulment Do Us Part" [RELIGION, Aug. 16] erroneously states that Joseph P. Kennedy II divorced me. In fact, I was the plaintiff in our 1990 civil-divorce case, which became final in January 1991. Second, while you note that we have twin sons, you fail to mention the impact of the possible ruling on them or on children of annulment in general. If our marriage were deemed never to have existed in the eyes of the church, then our children, like others of annulled marriages, would have been neither conceived in nor born to a sanctified union. I find this contention untrue, abhorrent and contrary to the church's teachings that such a union is a desirable prerequisite for bearing children. I am, of course, grateful that U.S. law will continue to protect my children's legal rights. But should an annulment be granted, such protection does nothing to fill the spiritual void left by the claim that my sons are "issue" of an unsanctified union. Thus, even though the odds of my prevailing in resisting an annulment are bleak, I will continue to defend the bond that brought my children into the world. I know of few mothers who would do any less.

Austrian Economics
Austrian economics is a distinctive approach to the discipline of economics that analyzes market forces without ever losing sight of the logic of individual human action. Two of the major Austrian economists in the 20th century have been Friedrich A. Hayek, who won the Nobel Prize in Economics, and Ludwig von Mises. Posted below is an Austrian Economics reading list prepared by Richard M. Ebeling, economics professor at Northwood University in Midland and former president of the Foundation for Economic Education and vice president of academic affairs at FFF.

I've been looking for something to replace dairy milk. While I'm not completely lactose intolerant, I get stomach cramping when I consume too much of it. So Delicious Coconut Milk is exactly what I've been searching for! The marketing folks at So Delicious say it tastes just like dairy milk. I disagree – it tastes better.
How have I used it?
The first test was regular flavored So Delicious, instead of cow's milk, to cook morning oatmeal. The So Delicious was wonderful - creamy and smooth.
Then, I tried the vanilla flavored So Delicious in my coffee. In an effort to be healthier, I've been doing without creamer for years. Until trying So Delicious, that is. It made my coffee rich and creamy with just the right touch of vanilla.
I've had So Delicious straight up and have had it poured over cold cereal. Both were yummy. Next up is to try it to make instant pudding.
Nutritional Bonanza
I really want to thank the folks at BlogHer. If it weren't for this opportunity with our client, I may have never tried this product. I really expected it to taste like coconut, which it doesn't at all! I love, love, LOVE it! You will, too. Give it a try!

Tombstone was an American frontier town located in the Arizona region of North America on Earth.
It was infamous for the shootout that occurred at the OK Corral there on October 26, 1881. During that time, the local newspaper was the Tombstone Epitaph.
In 2268, the Melkots recreated a faux Tombstone for the crew of the USS Enterprise as their means of executing them for violating a warning to stay away from their homeworld. (TOS: "Spectre of the Gun")

Ferrari GT-Class Championship Details:
- Ferrari sweeps GT-class Championship at Lime Rock Park
- Alessandro Balzan 2013 Rolex Series GT driver champion
- Scuderia Corsa secures Rolex Series team championship
- GT Championship can be seen at Ferraridoesitagain.tumblr.com
On September 28, 2013 Ferrari ended the Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series on a high note by sweeping the GT-class Championship at Lime Rock Park, CT. Alessandro Balzan, driver of no. 63 Scuderia Corsa Ferrari 458 Italia became the 2013 Rolex Series GT driver champion and secured the Rolex Series team championship for Scuderia Corsa. Somewhere out there, former Ferrari factory driver and supporter Mario Andretti must be celebrating the result.
Ferrari is no stranger to the podium, this is the second consecutive season that the manufacturer has won the Rolex Series Manufacturer Championship – scoring two wins, four pole positions, and 13 podium finishes in the season. However, the race was not without any incidents.
Balzan survived a heavy-hit that came from another GT-class car coupled with a late-race restart, causing him to finish in second position. Following closely behind was no. 64 Scuderia Corsa Ferrari 458 Italia that was driven by Jeff Westphal and Johannes van Overbeek.
"I was never relaxed during the race since things were always happening in front of us, behind us, or next to us," said Balzan. "The DP's were passing us and sometimes it was a nightmare because you know that you are leading the championship but you also know that you are losing so much time in traffic. I am very happy for the team. Everyone at Scuderia Corsa, really deserved it. It's really crazy to think we are champions in the first year. I have to thank Giacomo because he believed in me, otherwise I would have never gotten the seat. I'm a 100% Scuderia Corsa product, and it is a dream for a little Italian driver coming from Italy that is now living in Modena."

David Ong, Director, Corporate Recruiting, Maximus, Inc.
Twitter: @dtong2565
LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/pub/dave-ong/0/604/513
So it's official, I'm now a NACE blogger! For those who don't know me, I manage corporate and campus recruiting activities for MAXIMUS, a professional services firm in Reston, Virginia. I've also been a long-time NACE member (for nearly 15 years). After serving on the Board of Directors from 2011-2013, I will soon be the new Vice President, Employer, starting this July.
As I prepare for these new responsibilities (which you'll be hearing about in the coming months if you follow this blog), I find myself occasionally reminiscing about my early (aka, clueless) years as a NACE member. So join me for a trip down memory lane to my first official NACE event—the 2001 Conference in Las Vegas—and how it impacted my career.
If you're a newer member, you might not be aware that up until 2001, the NACE conference was an every-three-years event. Thankfully, the NACE leadership team had the strategic vision to change it to an annual conference (more on a couple of these leaders later).
So just how did these three-days in Vegas change the course of my career?
I established new relationships. Back then, I had just finished my first year of recruiting for Citigroup in NYC, and was busy building relationships with several new schools from which I'd never recruited. One of those schools was New York University, whose career center was headed by Trudy Steinfeld (#nyuwasserboss). To get to know her team a little better, I invited Trudy and her staff to join my team for a "refreshment break" on the first afternoon of the trip.
Obviously, we spent a good deal of our time talking about recruiting initiatives, but we also veered off to more social conversations where we immediately hit it off. That first conversation not only established a connection between my employer and NYU, but also created the beginnings of an invaluable friendship. Today, I can count on Trudy for guidance and advice (and the occasional refreshment break).
I met NACE leaders. This conference was my first exposure to the NACE leadership team. As (lady) luck would have it, I met then-NACE President, Kathy Sims from UCLA right after the opening session. She was so welcoming to me, a relatively new member of NACE. [On a side note, having served on the Board of Directors, I now know the President has a crazy conference schedule, so the time she took to get to know me is even more impressive.]
Kathy asked about my background, my goals for the conference, and when I was going to start recruiting at UCLA (naturally)! And, being a great leader that she is, she asked me if I was interested in becoming more involved with NACE. Flash forward 10 years and Kathy was one of my nominators for the Board of Directors and provided me with a ton of advice and encouragement when I decided to run for Vice President. You may be aware that Kathy has announced her retirement from UCLA, so I have many bittersweet feelings as I write this.
I experienced a range of emotions. I remember the gamut of feelings running through me from the start of the opening session all the way to the end of the conference. Nervousness because I didn't know many other attendees. Confusion over what sessions to attend. Frustration at not being able to remember the names of everyone I met. Awe of all the learning opportunities. Appreciation for the generosity of my peers as they shared their knowledge. And that was all okay because I got so much out of the experience.
Fortunately that year, what happened in Vegas didn't stay in Vegas. The networking that took place led to relationships that lasted well beyond the initial three-day conference. So whether you are attending this year's conference for the first time (or second or third or fourth, for that matter), I hope that you will make the most of your experience. Track me down, tweet me at the conference, or just stop to say hello. If you can't attend this year, start thinking about next year—trust me, it will be one of the best decisions you'll ever make!
NACE14 attendees! Register for any of five free webinars based on popular workshops at the conference.

With over 800 rosaries dedicated to specific patron saints, you are sure to find what you are looking for right here at Catholic Faith Store! These rosaries are dedicated to specific saints who can inspire and guide us. They were people who lived imperfect lives just like us. In fact, some were sinful — like St. Peter when he denied Jesus three times. But once they acknowledged God's grace and mercy, the saints devoted their lives to serving Him.
In this selection you will find patron saint rosaries that correspond with many birth names and Confirmation names. There are also saints who have been designated as helpers for specific concerns. St. Lucy is the patron saint for eye problems; while St. John (Don) Bosco is a saint who helped schoolchildren while he was on earth….now he helps children from heaven.

Renault has unveiled a new concept car so 'out there' it's not even on display at a car show.
Nope, the new Twin-Z concept has instead been unveiled at a…design expo in Europe.
That's because this car is a model that Renault says bridges the gap between cars and, wait for it…furniture.
The aim, according to Renault, was to "break down the boundaries between the world of an object whose calling is to be in movement - the automobile - and that of furniture."
But don't panic. The Twin-Z isn't something you park in your living room and cover in clear plastic.
You can actually use it as a car.
Four battery packs stored in the floor – to improve centre of gravity - provide 50kW/226Nm to the rear-wheels, with Renault claiming a top speed of 130kmh.
Range is tipped at 160km, but as with most concept cars, the Twin-Z is more about design than performance.
Inside, a spacious nightclub-like interior cacoons passengers, with Renault creating extra space by ditching the dashboard for a centrally mounted tabled.
Don't expect to see the Twin-Z on the road anytime soon, but Renault could use many of the design cues on its future models.

A disappointing earnings report from Bank of America is a main catalyst for the U.S. stock market sell off today.
Equities: The JUN13 E-mini S&P 500 is down 23.5 points to 1545. This market is now below our key pivot level of 1550. Considering this, along with the approaching notoriously bearish month of May, we look for the S&P 500 to stay below its recent high of 1593, and possibly head to 1523.75. The real key level below 1550 is 1533, that is a huge support level. Our next target level below here is 1523.75.
Bonds: The U.S. 10-year note futures market is up slightly to 133'04. We are continually interested in the lack of volatility in this market. Even with the S&P 500 down 1.5%, the 10-year is up only .14%. Perhaps this means the market, as we have noted previously, is already filled with long positions, and new buyers are nervous to enter, especially in front of the Fed minutes scheduled for release today, which could further indicate a slowing of QE later this year.
Commodities: Gold and silver are relatively quiet today, with gold at unchanged levels from yesterday's futures close, and silver down a shade more than 1% to $23.35. We believe this market is still in a bearish environment, but after such a selling avalanche, we could experience a short term period of low volatility in gold and silver. Natural gas is holding steady in positive territory. Today the key pivot/support level is $4.04. We believe that the natural gas market above this level is very bullish, and could approach the prior high of $4.30 very soon.
Currencies: The British pound and the euro (and Aussie) are all down today. The Euro is down the most of the three, trading down 140 ticks to 130.56. We believe the euro is more bearish than bullish, and if the U.S. stock market continues to go down into May, the euro may follow with it. The Aussie dollar is down 73 ticks, mainly due to the commodities slump. The British pound hit a very key resistance level at 1.54, and bounced off that, and is now down 114 ticks to 152.49. We could easily see the pound heading lower to 1.51, as the BOE may continue to provide more stimulus to the UK economy.

Casimir 'Cas' Spencer w/composers Enis Rotthoff & Paul Leonard Morgan – Post Sundance Film Music Review
Enis RotthoffBioEnis Rotthoff is a German composer who splits time between Los Angeles and Berlin. His passion for scoring films combined with hisorchestral mastery and cutting edge electronic sounds, has made him a leading voice for cinematic musicin Germany and has contributed to his growing international reputation. Through his focus on close collaborations with filmmakers, he is able to build true cinematic concepts providing a unique musical language for each film he scores.
Paul Leonard-Morgan's unique cinematic style of fusing orchestra with electronica has put him in high demand as a film composer, a producer and arranger for bands, and has led him to win a BAFTA award, and receive Emmy & Ivor Novello nominations.
Prior to working in film, Leonard-Morgan produced and arranged for acts including Belle and Sebastian, Snow Patrol, Mogwai, and No Doubt. However, it was his groundbreaking score for Relativity's LIMITLESS, a paranoia-fueled action thriller starring Bradley Cooper and Robert De Niro, that solidified him as a major player in the film music industry and was later nominated for the prestigious World Soundtrack "Discovery of the Year" Award in Ghent. His first Emmy nomination came in 2016 for the CBS TV spinoff of LIMITLESS, helmed by Marc Webb (Spiderman, 500 Days of Summer).
DREDD, which topped the UK box office in its first week of its 2012 release, is widely recognized as launching a new generation of hybrid scores, causing Variety to note the impact of "the throbbing sounds of Paul Leonard-Morgan's bass heavy score". In 2016, Leonard-Morgan began working with Academy-Award winning director Errol Morris on a string of projects including the documentary feature THE B-SIDE, the award-winning Netflix series WORMWOOD, and the newly-completed motion picture on Steve Bannon, AMERICAN DHARMA. Most recently, Paul scored the film THE QUIET ONE – the story of Rolling Stones founding member Bill Wyman, the feature LAST BREATH (set for release summer 2019), the hit series reboot DYNASTY for The CW/Netflix, and the latest season of DESIGNATED SURVIVOR premiering on Netflix later this year. His latest project THE TOMORROW MAN, directed by Nobel Jones, will premiere at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival.
His work in animation includes three MINIONS films, released alongside Universal Studio's all-time highest grossing film DESPICABLE ME 2, and Fox/Evergreen's $80 million feature animation WALKING WITH DINOSAURS 3D. Leonard-Morgan's first video game soundtrack (EA Games' flagship BATTLEFIELD HARDLINE) was released in 2015, and granted him the opportunity to score WARHAMMER: DAWN OF WAR 3, released in April 2017.
He currently lives in Los Angeles, with studios in LA and Scotland.

Grivo – Live at dublab
Tune in to a live on air performance by Grivo
Emerging like an ornate relic of disenchanted youth, Austin-based power trio Grivo combine slow, methodical hooks and warm tube amplifiers to artfully re-establish the link between heavy guitars and downtempo pop. Grivo's massive tones and effects are utilized as active compositional elements, brilliantly crafting and pacing their infectious riffs to allow the saturated guitars and bruising low-end to fully bloom. Born and raised in small-town Michigan, Grivo is led by guitarist/vocalist Timothy Heck who founded the band with his brother and drummer Matthew. The Heck brothers have shared a life-long musical partnership, starting as jazz-obsessed teenagers before diving into the punk and hardcore scenes of the Midwest in their early twenties. After years of intensive touring, they sought new inspiration and slower tempos, opting to relocate to Austin in 2015. Timothy adopted a reserved and accessible approach to songwriting, evoking empathy through minor key signatures while constructing intricate walls of auditory mass. Within the tidal sound waves and bleak timbre, Grivo forges a distinctive personal connection that challenges the modern definitions of doom metal and shoegaze

Hoseh – Version Sounds
"Version Sounds is my interpretation of radio communication, my version. At its roots, the show credits reggae dub for adding so much to the music we listen to today. From there the branches continue to sprout via a myriad of genres and time spans. Colombian cumbias meet Germanic techno dub meets British twee pop. Stereolab and Sun Ra lounge around as Stars of the Lid jam with Prince Jammy. You never know what to expect but you are guaranteed that the now sounds of 2013 will have a toast with the happening sonics of 1968 and beyond!" love, Hoseh

Free to build, protect & share! Free to grow, develop & expand! Free to unite in love, cherish & enjoy the Kingdom, the dictatorship of God's law, uniting the whole Human race in our Eternal Father's great All-One-God-Faith! For we're All-One or none: Listen Children Eternal Father Eternally One!"
American democratic President Wilson, 1917, replaced Marxism by Lenin. "We are not a nation of classes, races, minority or pressure groups! Anybody trading on our race, color, nationality or religion is not yet American, does not yet deserve to enjoy the liberties of the Stars & Stripes! He does not yet know, that the Army of Principles by America's Founding Father, the world's 1st steelbridqe-builder, Thos. Paine, since 1799, unites the whole Human race in our Eternal Father's great All-One-God-Faith! Once we teach it, 6 billion strong, we're All-One! "As teach Abraham-Israel-Moses- Buddha-Jesus & Mohammed, inspired every 76 yrs. by the messenger of God's law, the Messiah, Halley's Comet! 6000 yrs. since the year One! We're All-One! All-One!
In '68 American Mao professor Marcuse upset Moscow's Czech power till Moscow's Press had the courage to confess: "Marx is god! Marcuse his prophet! Mao his sword! 50,000 American university professors, his disciples! Black Panthers his killers!" What an apology we Rabbis owe Marx-Moscow, all Jews, all mankind, IRS slave, for our 2000 year failure to teach brave the constructive-selfish Moral ABC the real Rabbi Hillel taught Jesus to unite all mankind free! The exact opposite to absolute-unselfish Marxism, that enslaves the Free! Unless we teach the whole Human race the Moral ABC from uniting All-One-God-Faith, we're dead men on furlough from half-true hates!
>From '29 to '79 we wired our "Public Servants" over 13,000 times to help unite the whole Human race in our Eternal Fathers' great All-One-God-Faith! With the 8 great books by Thos. Paine, suppressed since 1799: The Realist Declaration, The Age of Reason & The Army of Principles will instantly unite the whole Human race in our Eternal Father's great All-One- God-Faith: "LISTEN CHILDREN ETERNAL FATHER ETERNALLY ONE!" WE'RE ALL ONE!
The trouble is that the wrong people are always the most energetic, united & intense, dividing the hardworker to die in self-defense! That fact alone brings Hitlers & Stalins to power & that fact will only change when we teach the whole Human race the Moral ABC of All-One-God-Faith, lightning-like, 6 billion strong & we're All-One! All-One! All-One! As Israel teaches since the year One: "Listen Children Eternal Father Eternally One!' Exceptions? None!
