The trade deficit in the U.S. unexpectedly jumped in May as imports climbed to the second- highest level on record, pointing to an economy that is overcoming higher taxes and government cutbacks.
The gap widened by 12.1% to $45 billion, the biggest since November, from $40.1 billion in April, Commerce Department figures showed today in Washington. The median forecast in a Bloomberg survey of 71 economists called for a $40.1 billion deficit. The value of imports at $232.1 billion was second only to a record $234.3 billion in March 2012.
Purchases of cellular phones, automobiles and fuel produced overseas add to signs demand from American consumers and businesses is picking up heading into the second half of the year. The report also showed exports stagnated, reflecting slack global growth as markets from China to Europe struggle to gain momentum.
"We are seeing a pickup in demand on the consumer side that's boosting imports," said Robert Rosener, an economist at Credit Agricole CIB in New York. "The U.S. will keep growing faster than other areas of the world. We don't see a huge rise in exports, but expect a big gain in imports."
Other reports today showed companies boosted employment in June and fewer workers filed claims for unemployment benefits last week.
More Hiring
Payrolls climbed by 188,000 workers in June, exceeding the median forecast in a Bloomberg survey, following a 134,000 gain the prior months, figures from the Roseland, New Jersey-based ADP Research Institute showed. Jobless claims decreased by 5,000 to 343,000 in the week ended June 29 from 348,000 the prior period, the Labor Department said.
Stock-index futures trimmed earlier losses following the better-than-projected ADP data. The contract on the Standard & Poor's 500 Index maturing in September fell 0.3% to 1,602.4 at 8:55 a.m. in New York. It had been down as much as 0.8% on mounting political unrest in Egypt.
Bloomberg survey estimates for the trade figures ranged from deficits of $35.9 billion to $45 billion. The Commerce Department initially reported a $40.3 billion shortfall for April. The 12.1% increase in the gap in May was the biggest jump in two years.
Imports climbed 1.9% from April's $227.7 billion. Purchases of mobile phones and other household goods surged by $1.89 billion, demand for automobiles and parts reached a record and purchases of crude oil and petroleum products also rose.
American Demand
The increase is another sign the American economy is gaining speed as consumer spending has held up amid a payroll tax increase at the start of 2013.
Automobiles remain a bright spot. General Motors Co. and Ford Motor Co., makers of the best-selling big pickups in the U.S., yesterday said new-vehicle deliveries in June topped estimates. The industry selling pace accelerated to the fastest since November 2007.
Orders placed with U.S. factories rose in May, reflecting broad-based gains that signal manufacturing is stabilizing. The improvement may also underpin the need for imports.
Stabilization in the rest of the world would also lift overseas demand. Caterpillar Inc., the largest maker of construction and mining equipment, is among American companies counting on an improvement.

Well, with just over 24 hours to go before the shaving, I've raised over $7,000. I set an ambitious goal in this challenging economy, and have made it over 70% of the way there. I'm pretty happy with the results so far, bearing in mind that a significant fraction of donations come in after the event (and all the way till the end of the year). I may yet hit the goal.
For all of you who have given: I thank you, and look to see pics of my gleaming scalp soon. For those of you who have considered doing so, thank you for your consideration and indulgence.
This is a tremendously important cause, and even small donations are helpful. So please consider making a donation -- and there are collateral benefits. I was talking with our family priest and he told me that as a matter of doctrine, all donors to St Baldrick's go directly to Heaven, completely bypassing purgatory.* So you got that going for you, which is nice.

today's inspiration comes from event planner, floral designer and author Michelle Rago:
I love this woodlandy design created using ferns, fiddle head ferns, white ranunculas, curled bark, fresh moss, pine cones, lady slipper orchids and the beautiful large hens and chicks succulents. It reminds me of the bottom of a forest, cold, moist and alive. Notice the asymmetry? Nature grows asymmetrical which to me is more pleasing to the eye.

DeKALB – If the top 25 college football teams in the country battled in the classroom instead of on the gridiron, it would be an all-Illinois battle in the national championship, according to one academic study.
Northern Illinois University was second only to Northwestern University in the sixth annual BCS Academic Bowl presented by the New America Foundation's Education Policy Program. NIU is ranked No. 15 in the final Bowl Championship Series standings while Northwestern is No. 20.
The academic bowl calculates the difference between the entire football team's graduation rate versus that of the male students at the university; the graduation gap between black and white students on the team versus the same gap among the school's overall male population; and the gap between the graduation rate of black football players versus the black men at the school.
The Huskies will make their first BCS bowl appearance in school history Jan. 1, when they face Florida State in the Orange Bowl in Miami.
NIU beat out academic powerhouses Notre Dame and Stanford because its graduation rate among football players is 15 percent better than the male student population. NIU also performed well in graduating its black football players, with a rate of 63 percent compared with the university's black male student population, which graduates at a 30 percent rate.
NIU spokesman Paul Palian said academic recognition was not uncharted territory for Huskies teams, which boast academic All-Americans.
"Any time when you're listed among those quality institutions, there is something to be said for that," Palian said. "The football team has been meeting and exceeding expectations on the field and in the classroom."
The report was not all good for NIU, which showed the university's struggles with its graduation rate among men. One reason the NIU football team graduated football players at a rate 15 percentage points higher than the male student population is because the overall graduation rate among men is 51 percent.
Only Louisville, Kent State and Boise State had male student graduation rates below NIU, which also had one of the lowest graduation rates for black men at 30 percent.
"Although the university's overall male graduation rate is only 51 percent, it graduates its football players at a much higher rate than the rest of the student body," the report stated. "NIU gets a lot of points for helping out its football players."
NIU's Orange Bowl opponent, Florida State, No. 12 in the BCS standings, comes in at last place for the BCS Academic Bowl standings. Florida State received the No. 25 spot in part because it graduates only 45 percent of its football players.
It also has a gap between white and black players because the team is the only squad to graduate 100 percent of white players but only 33 percent of black players.

Jan Both, in full Jan Dirckszoon Both, Dirckszoon also abbreviated Dircksz., (born c. 1615, Utrecht, Netherlands—buried August 9, 1652, Utrecht), Baroque painter and etcher, the leading master of the "Italianate" trend of Dutch landscape painting in the 17th century.
Both first studied with his father, Dirck Both, a glass painter, and then with Abraham Bloemaert. From 1638 to 1641 he lived in Rome with his brother Andries; in the latter year he returned to Utrecht, where he became a prominent member of the painters' guild. His views of the mountains and wooded surroundings of Rome, filled with golden sunlight and enlivened with figures of Italian peasants, show the influence of Claude Lorrain and Pieter van Laer, both of whom he undoubtedly met in Rome (e.g., Artists Sketching in an Italian Landscape). He shared van Laer's and the Bamboccianti's interest in contemporary genre, although his primary concern was with landscape, in which human activity was incidental. Rather than the idealized classical compositions of Claude, with their generalized treatment of light and atmosphere, Both's depiction of nature was more specific and naturalistic, emphasizing observation over imagination.
The tradition according to which the figures in many of his paintings were done by his brother has not been borne out; in fact, no works of Jan prior to 1641, when Andries died, have been identified. The figures in his known landscapes were usually painted by himself, although in a few cases by Cornelis van Poelenburgh, who also painted Both's portrait. Both's etchings, based on some of his paintings, are most delicately done.

Every November 1st for the last several years Haitian immigrant Dayila dresses up in a black suit, dons dark sunglasses, and paints her face half white-half black with crosses on each cheek. Performing Haitian dances and traditional songs in Kreyól in the New York City subway, she pays tribute to Gede, the impish god of the underworld whose affinity with children and the dead demonstrates the contrasting capriciousness often displayed by Haitian vodou's complex pantheon of spirits (lwa).
At first unsure of how people, particularly fellow Haitians, would react to seeing a woman embodying Gede, Dayila ultimately chose to defy convention with a striking combination of performance-art devotion that drew the subterranean crowds. It wasn't the first or last time she broke with convention, but certainly one of the most striking examples of this indomitable woman's personality.
"I am the first Haitian woman who decided to go out there and expose the culture, singing in my language, without thinking about how people were going to react," she says of her subway station forays. "When I started singing, people would thank me for having the courage to stand up and for lifting their spirit, for sharing my dances with them. I'm the type of artist that, if I'm performing, I want the audience to be a part of my performance."
As luck would have it, or maybe by the grace of Gede, the city's labyrinthine underbelly served as a gateway for the aspiring singer. Dayila eventually landed a record deal thanks to the exposure she received from the Metropolitan Transit Authority just recently she dropped her debut Solé. The culmination of years of soul-searching followed by years of getting to the heart of the album, Solé's overlapping currents reflect the unlikely, if increasingly common marriage, between sacred and secular music. Dayila pays homage to her ancestors and the vodou deities that guide her. At the same time, in a nod to the city that's taken her in, she embraces the world village eclecticism filtered through the prism of contemporary life in the Big Apple.
For years Dayila juggled odd jobs to make ends meet. She hadn't really realized she could sing until she became involved in NYC's Haitian arts community. Then, at the urging of friends, she began to foster her natural abilities, eventually becoming a mainstay in Haitian roots music circles, gaining a reputation as the go-to singer with the kind of soul-stirring, visceral voice favored by dancers of traditional trance-driven rhythms. She's now been baptized as the Empress of Haitian roots music.

Treatments for stage 0 breast cancer
The following are treatment options for stage 0 (non-invasive, or in situ) breast cancer. Your healthcare team will suggest treatments based on your needs and work with you to develop a treatment plan.
Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is the most common type of non-invasive breast cancer. Lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) increases a woman's risk for developing breast cancer, but it is not considered a cancer.
Surgery is the main treatment for DCIS. Most women are offered breast-conserving surgery. If there are several areas of DCIS in the breast, doctors may do a mastectomy to make sure that all of the cancer is removed. Doctors do not remove lymph nodes under the arm (called axillary lymph node dissection) for DCIS because this cancer has not spread outside the duct in the breast.
To lower their risk of developing invasive breast cancer, some women with LCIS may choose to have their breasts removed (called a prophylactic mastectomy).
Radiation therapy
External beam radiation therapy is usually given after breast-conserving surgery for DCIS. It is used to lower the risk that cancer will come back (recur) in the breast, especially if there is high-grade DCIS. In rare cases, radiation therapy isn't needed because the DCIS is low grade, it is only in one very small area of the breast and it is completely removed with surgery.
LCIS is not treated with radiation therapy.
Hormonal therapy
Tamoxifen (Nolvadex, Tamofen) is offered for hormone receptor–positive DCIS. Hormonal therapy is started as soon as the cancer is diagnosed. It is given for up to 10 years to lower the risk that you will develop another breast cancer.
Women with LCIS may be offered tamoxifen to lower the risk that an invasive breast cancer will develop.
Clinical trials
Many clinical trials in Canada are open to women with breast cancer. Clinical trials look at new ways to prevent, find and treat cancer. Find out more about clinical trials.

LJMcFadden needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 162 designs submitted by 49 freelance designers.
I need a logo designed for my new fitness studio.
I'm opening a fitness studio that will be offering group exercise, personal training, Pilates, yoga and other cool classes. I'd like to attract both genders and all ages. I need a logo to be used in all aspects of my business- web site, stationary, sign, etc. I'd like it to be smart, clean and gender balanced.
The design I have in mind is the name of the studio, CHIZEL, slate grey letters in caps with the words, fitness studio incorporated into that part of the logo, reflecting a masculine feel. I'd like a picture with simple lines of a piece of rock/marble having been partially carved to expose gender neutral "chiseled abdominals" placed to the right of "Chizel." Under that is the studio motto- discover what's inside! That should be lower case letters in a medium/light orange color, more feminine- balancing the genders. Please submit in vector format.
I don't want the logo to be flashy or juvenille.

Spring 2014
The idea of HIV home-based testing has been debated for decades, almost as long as HIV testing has been available, but it has not been widely endorsed. Recently, the debate about home-based testing has been ignited again, with the approval in the United States of the oral testing kit, OraQuick.
This article explores HIV home-based tests (with a focus on OraQuick), how they work, where they are available, their acceptability and accuracy, and the potential benefits and ongoing concerns surrounding home-based testing.
HIV home-based tests, also known as self-tests, allow people to test themselves for HIV in their home without a healthcare provider present. Currently, two HIV home-based tests have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in the United States.
The Home Access HIV-1 Test System is the only finger-prick blood test approved by the FDA (in July of 1996). This test detects HIV antibodies in blood. Before doing the test, the user calls a toll-free number to register for the test using an anonymous code, completes pre-test counselling and provides non-nominal demographic information.
The user draws a blood sample using a finger prick and the sample is then sent away for testing at a lab. The results are obtained by calling the toll-free number and using the anonymous code number to access the results. Positive results are given by a counsellor. Results do not need to be confirmed by an additional test, since confirmatory testing is performed by the manufacturer before results are offered to clients.
OraQuick is an in-home oral swab test that detects HIV antibodies in saliva. This oral test was approved in July 2012 by the FDA and has been available for sale in the United States since April 2013. The test requires users to swab their upper and lower gum line for the saliva sample. The swab is placed in a solution, which allows the test reaction to develop. The test produces a result within 20 to 40 minutes. Unlike blood-test kits, OraQuick can be read at home by the user. Positive results received at home are considered preliminary and must be confirmed by clinic-based testing. OraQuick provides a 24-hour toll-free telephone counselling service and helps link people who test positive to a nearby clinic.
In addition to FDA-approved home-test kits, there are a number of HIV tests available on the Internet that claim to be clinically proven but do not have FDA approval. These kits can't be trusted to offer accurate and reliable test results.
No home-based tests have been approved for sale in Canada. Although neither OraQuick nor Home Access Health Corporation will accept orders from Canada, it is possible for Canadians to order HIV self-tests (both finger prick and oral swab) online and have them delivered to their homes. Canadians can also cross the border and purchase self-test kits in US pharmacies.
Research has shown that HIV self-tests are acceptable to users. A systematic review published in 2013 on supervised and unsupervised HIV self-testing that included studies of general populations as well as populations at high risk -- gay men and other men who have sex with men (MSM), people who use inject drugs, patients in emergency departments -- found that between 74% and 96% of participants in all populations found HIV self-testing, either with oral swabs or finger-prick blood tests, acceptable.1
Research shows that self-tests are convenient and easy to use. In a study of students seeking care at the McGill University Health Centre, 98% of students rated an oral self-test as convenient.2 In a study of "at-risk" individuals in Singapore, 95% felt that the OraQuick test kit instructions were easy to understand and the kit convenient to use.3 In another study in the U.S., 96% of participants reported that the OraQuick test was "not at all hard to collect."4
In research studies, the OraQuick test is as accurate (99.9% of the time) at identifying HIV-negative results as blood-based testing done in a lab by trained professionals.5 OraQuick is 91.7% accurate at identifying HIV-positive test results.6 This means that almost 10% of people who test HIV negative using OraQuick are actually HIV positive. Oraquick is not as accurate as blood-based testing in a lab, which has been shown to be 99.7% accurate at identifying positive test results.5
False-negative results -- when the test comes back negative but a person is actually HIV positive -- can occur with OraQuick if a risk event (unprotected sex or borrowing injection equipment, for example) occurs within the three-month window period (as with the standard blood HIV antibody test). This happens because the test relies on the detection of antibodies in the saliva, which may take up to three months to develop. Clients considering self-testing need to be counselled about the window period.
False-negative results may also occur if the test is incorrectly read by the user as negative; if the test instructions are not followed carefully and the user does not swab the gum line; or if the user is wearing a dental product, such as dentures that cover their gums, while they use the swab.6
HIV self-tests could provide improved access to HIV testing among people who may not otherwise access testing. Research shows that HIV self-testing is acceptable among MSM who have never tested for HIV, a key population to reach for HIV testing.7,8
HIV self-testing could provide convenient and anonymous HIV testing to anyone who wants to test. In particular, depending on cost and availability, self-tests could benefit people who experience significant barriers to health care and people living in rural and remote communities where health care isn't always anonymous or confidential.

I honestly don't know where to begin with my review of "Man of Steel." There is so much buzz and expectation for this film that it's hard to pin down a suitable talking point to start off with. Critics have been lukewarm to the newest Superman affair while they practically praised "Superman Returns" even though it was a one hundred fifty minute bore fest where not a damn thing happened. But I feel that talking about how other people feel about movies might undermine my own review. It's just that the discussion around MoS, mostly dominated by people who didn't like it, can be really infuriating. Especially when you consider how genuinely awesome it is.
What I probably liked the most about "Man of Steel" was its pacing. It covers a great deal, but does so at a breakneck speed and almost never wastes our time or assumes that we're stupid. The movie is able to cover emotional and abstract concepts without dunking us in a hefty amount of muck. The script is able to move from plot point to plot point without being confusing or boring. Superman's origins are shown to us mostly in flashbacks when the information is actually relevant. I felt that method allowed the movie to grow the character of Superman at a better pace instead of just cramming everything into the first half hour. My only drawback to the pacing is that it skips over some things that I felt might have been important. For example there is no scene that shows Clark actually leaving home to start his journey to discover himself. Sure we get the emotional motivation of why, but the point where he actually makes the decision is noticeably absent.
And to be completely honest with my review, I thought director Zack Snyder might screw the pooch here. I thought "300" and "Watchmen" were decent adaptations, but public reaction to them was overblown. And after the German porn level mess that was "Sucker Punch," my faith in the final product began to wane. But deep down, I knew that if Snyder got a good script, he would make a good movie. Much like what happened with the "Dawn of the Dead" remake. And that is exactly what occurred here. David Goyer has taken his experience with the Batman movies and crafted a script with depth, emotion, and brains. The script isn't genius level smart, but it actually knows what it is doing. But, to sight one problem, Superman does come to the rescue at the last second one too many times. But to be fair, that's kind of what Superman does.
The script can only take you so far though, but thankfully the strong cast and directing pick up the rest of the slack. The cast is downright brilliant with almost everyone fitting into their roles perfectly. Henry Cavill, despite having the disability of being British, does a great job as Superman with the ability to convey emotion without much dialogue and performs admirably in the action sequences. Amy Adams, Kevin Costner, and Russell Crowe all have a strong understanding of their characters and don't fall into any clichéd archetypes. The only real problem I had with the cast was Antje Traue as Zod's Sub-Commander Faora. There is nothing really wrong with her performance as an actress, but her character is extremely underdeveloped and has the worst lines of the movie. But I'll give her a pass because she is really hot in a German dominatrix who likes to cosplay as Evil-Lyn kind of way. However no mention of the cast can go without talking about Michael Shannon's performance as General Zod. It is hands down the most impressive thing I've seen in comic book movies since Heath Ledger's Joker in "The Dark Knight." Shannon is compelling, frightening, and engaging with his motivations without being overly sympathetic. It's like watching Captain Ahab on steroids. A great deal of skill went into Zod's character because Superman is only as good as the villain he fights. And in this case, it makes Superman pretty damn awesome.
And for the directing all I can really say is that Zack Snyder impresses. He thankfully avoids many of the clichéd matrixesque techniques we've seen in his past works in favor of methods more contemporary. My only real problem with his directing is that, aside from the shaky cam home video approach to some of the scenes, Snyder seemed to play it safe. After years of criticism, and the groan kick he took after "Sucker Punch," Snyder didn't seem to have the daring to experiment. Granted experiments can fail, and maybe he considered this movie to be too important to his career to play it fast and loose. But despite that, "Man of Steel" is still a beautiful movie to behold. With brilliant character and setting design, this film ended up visually stunning and a treat to look at. The action sequences used a little too much CGI for my tastes, but I suppose given the subject matter it couldn't have been helped. Plus the military's attack on the Kryptonian ship felt a little ID4ish, except it didn't have chunks of retard flying everywhere. And speaking of the military, I liked how they took a proactive role in the movie instead of just sitting back to let Superman handle everything. It's just one of those smart decisions that grounds the movie and keeps us from feeling we're watching some kind of zany parallel world. The movie also has little touches to detail that shows that Snyder really does have a flare for the art. Seeing LexCorp in the background during the final fight with Zod was nice, and several other smart touches enhanced my viewing of the film. There are a few shots that were sacrificed in the name of crap 3D, but it's barely noticeably. Just do what I did and spend the time rolling your eyes.
There are those who might be tempted to compare this film to the Richard Donner classic and its utterly inferior sequels. But to those people, I say pay someone five bucks to hit you with a bullwhip. The 1978 "Superman" was a great film in its own right, but that was thirty-five years ago. It's just unfair to compare the two. If you're going to compare comic book movies, I would suggest you compare it to "The Avengers." And it is in this comparison that will probably decide if you like "Man of Steel" or not. Avengers was a very fun movie, but ultimately not a very good one. The musical score was horrible, there was only one good camera shot in the entire movie (the shot after where Hulk transforms at the final battle and the camera circles around the Avengers), and the script didn't even have twenty percent of the amount of wit and characterization I expected from Mr. Joss Whedon. Still, the movie was a lot of fun and had much going for it despite its gaping flaws. On the other hand, "Man of Steel" is grim, lacks humor most of the way through, and can get very dark at times. If you thought Avengers was the end all and be all of comic book movies, then Steel might be too much of a punch to the gut for you. But don't get me wrong, this movie is still Superman. We still get all the powers, the world changing decisions he is forced to make, and even a few Jesus metaphors. It's just darker, closer to the ground, and harder on your senses for those who like their movies all soft and warm. And people who are only familiar with movie Superman and not comic book Superman might take issue with it as well, but personally I felt this new direction was bold. "Man of Steel" does have a few problems with it, but nothing that can't be overlooked except maybe by the most joyless of people. Those flaws do keep the movie from reaching true greatness, but this might be as close as we're going to get to a superb modern Superman movie. At least until they put Superman up against Darkseid. But I'm not going to hold my breath for that one.

text: President Lyndon Johnson chose William Westmoreland, a distinguished veteran of World War II and the Korean War, to command the U.S. Military Assistance Command in Vietnam (MACV) in June 1964. Over the next four years, the general directed much of U.S. military strategy during the Vietnam War, spearheading the buildup of American troops in the region from 16,000 to more than 500,000. His strategy of attrition aimed to inflict heavy losses on North Vietnamese and Viet Cong forces using superior U.S. firepower, but resulted in a costly stalemate by late 1967. The enemy's ambitious Tet Offensive in early 1968 cast serious doubt on Westmoreland's claims of progress in the war effort, even as he called for some 200,000 more troops. Growing antiwar sentiment on the home front led President Johnson to halt bombing attacks on North Vietnam in March 1968, and in June he replaced Westmoreland in command of the MACV. Back in the United States, Westmoreland fought off criticisms of his conduct of the war (including a libel lawsuit against CBS News) and became a dedicated supporter of Vietnam veterans.

A reader was kind enough to send along a link to some additional information about the remastered DuckTales video game, including a couple of videos showing game sequences. Never having been a game-player, I'm unfamiliar with a lot of the details of the original, but you'd better believe that I was excited to hear the voices of many of the surviving voice actors in what will almost certainly be their last joint performance. (That is, unless the Disney Movie Club decides to round them all up for extra features in a putative DuckTales: Volume 4 release. Yeah, as if.) For a nonagenarian, Alan Young sounds very good indeed.
Since DuckTales: Remastered will be available in a PC format, I just might break down and get this!

Happy New Year! And Happy New Decade! This should be quite a decade as far as biofuels are concerned—starting with whether the EPA decides to allow 15% of ethanol to be blended into gasoline later this year and continuing on to the 30 billion gallons of renewable fuel required by 2020 under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS2). Over this decade, we can expect to see big advances in the commercial production of cellulosic ethanol and much more.
As we begin this new decade, many industry leaders and farmers are also focused on producing biofuels in a sustainable manner. In fact, the Sustainable Biodiesel Alliance, Austin, TX, has published Baseline Practices for Sustainability.
The Alliance will hold its annual Sustainable Biodiesel Summit, Feb. 6-7, in Grapevine, TX. For more details, visit www.sustainable-biodiesel.org. The Summit will be attended by farmers, community-scale producers and others interested in the sustainable harvesting and collection of biodiesel feedstocks as well as the sustainable biodiesel production and distribution. Bill Holmberg, chairman, Biomass Coordinating Council, American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE), will be the keynote speaker. The Summit will include a tour of Willie's Place at Carl's Corner, the truck stop and biodiesel production facility invested in by singer and biodiesel promoter Willie Nelson.
The Summit is being held just prior to the National Biodiesel Conference, Feb. 7-10, also held in Grapevine at the Gaylord Texas Resort & Convention Center. For more information, visit www.biodieselconference.org/2010/conf/sessions.asp. One of the many interesting sessions at this meeting will be "Climate Change, Carbon Policy and the U.S. Biodiesel Industry." As the National Biodiesel Board (NBB) points out, various legislative and regulatory actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions will impact all sectors of the economy, including the biodiesel industry. This session will address how different policy options would impact the business.
Another interesting session will be "Black Gold, Texas Tea: Where Will Biodiesel Sit at the Oil Company Table?" No less than one billion gallons of biomass-based diesel per year over the next decade will be required under RFS2. NBB notes that if oil companies are not yet in the biodiesel business, the RFS will probably prompt them to add biofuels to their product lines, adding that this has "the potential to double biodiesel production in a single year."
Similarly, oil company representatives will talk about their investments in ethanol during the National Ethanol Conference, Feb. 15-17, at the Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center, Kissimmee, FL. For information, visit www.nationalethanolconference.com.
Another important session for both farmers and ethanol producers will address the indirect land use change debate.
The theme for this year's National Ethanol Conference is aptly entitled "Climate of Opportunity." With discussions heating up over climate change, reliance on foreign oil and new job creation, this decade will indeed present a climate of opportunity for those who can produce biofuels—from feedstock to fuel—in a sustainable manner.

I was considering buying a Dodge this year, then I saw this ad and realized that this company has little to no marketing sense because they chose to alienate all buyers who aren't Jewish or Christian by running this on the 8th day god created farmers, Paul Harvey horseshit. I was already annoyed by the Ram Tough commercials wondering why they only sought to appeal to rednecks and trogs and now this... I've owned three of their vehicles and I'll never buy another... good job Dodge. I had been driving through the local Dodge dealership eyeballing the new Dart and the Challenger which was an old love of mine for sometime too...
Views: 1946
Nice Harvey you did there!
So what did the donkeys do once tossed out of paradise?
Yeah I've owned three and I was seriously eyeing that new Dart... not anymore and I wrote and told them thanks for alienating me and any other person in the nation that wasn't Christian or Jewish with that idiotic commercial. I also told them, never again, good job!
Did they say anything back?
Of course, I got the canned response that they would take my concerns to their marketing department and they invited me to reply to that email if I had further concerns...
Actually, I gave up on Dodge after owning one in the late 70's. Those of you who may have owned one from that period know what I mean. It's not that they don't make quality vehicles today, it's that the trauma from that POS was so devastating I doubt I'll ever recover.
Raises hand... testifies, damn Duster, I still have an indentation in my skull from simply getting in and out of the damn thing!
I used to say Jesus H Chrysler.
I figured anyone driving a Dodge back in that time period had plenty of cause to say it.
This is a story about the first farmer that god made. Cain, the son of Adam.
Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil. 3 In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the Lord. 4 And Abel also brought an offering—fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. The Lord looked with favor on Abel and his offering, 5 but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast.
6 Then the Lord said to Cain, "Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? 7 If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it."
8 Now Cain said to his brother Abel, "Let's go out to the field."[d] While they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.
9 Then the Lord said to Cain, "Where is your brother Abel?"
"I don't know," he replied. "Am I my brother's keeper?"
10 The Lord said, "What have you done? Listen! Your brother's blood cries out to me from the ground.11 Now you are under a curse and driven from the ground, which opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand. 12 When you work the ground, it will no longer yield its crops for you.You will be a restless wanderer on the earth."
Doesn't say anything about Cain driving a Dodge. God didn't think much of Cain's produce, going from shepherd Abe's lambchops instead.
Wow nice one! Hope you sent that to the Dodge ad department. I got their automated response, I wanted to call the number and laugh maniacally.... I resisted.
It also shows god's poor judgement. I'd take a ripe juicy fig, or a luscious tomato, or a fresh peach, over a charred lamb chop anytime.

When AZT, also known as zidovudine and azidothymidine, was first manufactured, it was intended for use as an anti-cancer drug, but never received approval from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for that function. In the mid-1980s, however, it became one of the first pharmaceuticals approved to treat the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which causes AIDS. In fact, the typical 8 to 10 years of trials and studies that are usually associated with FDA approval of a new drug were significantly reduced for AZT. Due to the extreme need for some form of relief from the disease and heavy lobbying efforts, AZT received official approval in less than two years.

I've finally learned, from the sappy women I work with (I won't name names, but their initials are Alexis and Sarah), to properly enjoy and celebrate birthdays.
So, please celebrate with me – my favorite thing to celebrate is my health, and who better to celebrate that with than my rock and roll hero, Mick Jagger, performing here at the 2011 Grammy Awards at age 67?
I can't sing, but I can do 35″ box jumps (or in this case, rock jumps):
I love and appreciate all of you who share the passion of living healthier lives through healthier lifestyles!

South Carolina Women's Studies Graduate Programs on-Campus & Graduate Schools
On campus Women's Studies graduate programs can prepare students for a wide range of careers in the public and private sector. Graduate programs in women's studies are interdisciplinary and focus on how gender roles influence and shape human relations, sexuality, law, the media and education, and public and private policymaking.
Many students pick a grad school campus for the "campus life" and to build a strong network of other students interested in woman's studies. Connecting with peers and professors on a personal level who also are seeking or teaching women's studies graduate degrees can be as rewarded as getting a Women's Studies MSW/MA Dual Degree or whichever degree you aspire to earn
Within women's studies graduate campus programs, there are a number of areas of specialization, including law, education and teaching, and media studies. A degree in gender and women's studies can also provide a solid academic preparation for working in the nonprofit sector and the field of social work.
You can earn certificates on campus in women's studies or an on campus Masters in Gender Studies or Women's Studies.

On May 10, 1775, Benedict Arnold of Massachusetts joined Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys of Vermont in a dawn attack on the fort, surprising and capturing the sleeping British garrison. Although it was a small-scale conflict, the Battle of Fort Ticonderoga was the first American victory of the Revolutionary War, and would give the Continental Army much-needed artillery to be used in future battles.

Montana – The State Least Likely to Ticket Drivers
Before you head out on a road trip in Montana, pay attention: The National Motorists Association compiled a list of states that are more likely to ticket drivers.
It's the not the most absolute and accurate study, considering that the data is pretty challenging to put together. Still, the group put together the rankings with a Google insights tool that researched the ticket-related search results over time, and as a result, showed the trends across the nation.
Either way, here's what they came up with. These are the the ten states where you are likely to receive a ticket. From likely to least likely, here they are:
#1.) Florida
#2.) TIED: Georgia and Nevada
#3.) Texas
#4.) Alabama
#5.) Missouri
#6.) New York
#7.) North Carolina
#8.) District of Columbia
#9.) New Jersey
#10.) Louisiana
And now, the good news. Here are the states LEAST likely to ticket drivers. Ranked from likely to least on the way down:
#10.) New Mexico
#9.) Nebraska
#8.) Idaho
#7.) West Virginia
#6.) Maine
#5.) Alaska
#4.) South Dakota
#3.) North Dakota
#2.) Wyoming
#1.) And the state LEAST likely to give you a ticket is . . . Montana

With no relief from the ongoing drought in sight, crop ratings continue to drop. University of Illinois crop sciences professor Emerson Nafziger said that only 11 and 17% of Illinois corn and soybean crops, respectively, were rated as good or excellent on July 15.
Corn crop prospects continue to worsen with loss of leaf area and poor or failed pollination in dry areas. As leaf color and area continue to decline, so does yield potential.
"While we remain more optimistic about soybean prospects than about corn, soybean yield potential is beginning to decline as more time passes without enough water to keep plants functioning well," Nafziger said.
Soybean plants in dry areas are short, and the size of leaves and petioles has been reduced due to the ongoing lack of available water to expand cells. The result has been plants with a narrow canopy. In wider rows, plants are unable to join canopies across the rows, which reduces their ability to intercept sunlight and lowers their yield potential.
A more pressing problem is the lack of pod formation, at least in early-planted fields. By mid-July, pods should be abundant on these plants. Instead, the lower nodes may have few or no pods set (Figure 1). As stress continues, racemes above these lower nodes may continue to dry up and pods either will not form or will drop off.
The yield potential of stressed soybean plants depends on their ability to respond to rainfall by producing more nodes at the top of the plant and then by flowering and setting pods on these nodes.
"For now, racemes on upper nodes have a good number of flower, and some pods are forming at these upper nodes," said Nafziger. "However, if weather conditions remain as they are, small pods may abort. Even larger pods may begin to drop off the plants."
As the number of "spent" racemes continues to increase in stressed plants, pod number, and hence yield potential, will continue to decline. New racemes and pods that will form following rain can help to overcome some of this loss, but the lack of a full canopy will also limit the number of pods that can be filled.
As is the case with corn, final yield in the soybean plant depends on how much sugar the leaves can supply through photosynthesis. When the supply is short during flowering, pod numbers decline; when the supply is short during pod filling, pods will drop early or, if they stay on, seed size can be reduced.
Because later-planted soybeans retain more flexibility in the numbers of racemes, flowers, and pods compared to those planted early, a return to better conditions may help the later-planted crop more than it helps early-planted soybeans.
On the negative side, later-planted soybeans are shorter and have fewer nodes than those planted early, and the root system is probably not as extensive as in the early-planted crop. However, if stress is relieved by late July, it is possible that later-planted soybeans might set more pods and produce more yield than those planted in April.
"It might seem reasonable to try to protect yield potential by applying fungicides, insecticides, and perhaps other products that promise to relieve stress in soybean crops," Nafziger said. "But when lack of water is as overwhelming a factor as it is this year, it is unlikely that any inputs other than irrigation will do much to help. While it is important to scout for and manage pests that can add to stress, there is little data showing that a crop under severe stress can have its physiology and yield potential improved by additives."
2012 Drought: Illinois soybean yield potential drops, corn further declines
With no relief from the ongoing drought in sight, crop ratings continue to drop. University of Illinois crop sciences professor Emerson Nafziger said that only 11 and 17% of Illinois corn and soybean crops, respectively, were rated as good or excellent on July 15.

Vladka Meed, a powerful voice for Holocaust memory and education died on November 21.
Her obituary in the New York Times recounts the fascinating details of her life.

Vladka was a courageous woman of remarkable intellect and dedication, and her passsing leaves a a great void. I shall miss her.
