Professor Jonathan Askin on Narrowing Gap Between U.S./European Education in National Law Journal Op-Ed 1/14/2014 In an op-ed for the National Law Journal, Professor Jonathan Askin writes that Europe lags behind the United States in two seemingly unrelated categories: experiential legal education; and, fostering and sustaining new entrepreneurial ventures. What is less well recognized is that these two concepts are interconnected, he notes, and that the gap between the United States and Europe in each is narrowing quickly: "As we move into the 21st century, Europe may leapfrog the United States in both its ability to nurture startups and its ability to train its startup lawyers." Professor Jonathan Askin on 'Clueless Tech Lawyers' in VentureBeat Guest Post 11/14/2013 Why not train this next generation of lawyers to think like the next generation of entrepreneurs? Such is the question behind Professor Jonathan Askin's new guest post for VentureBeat. He reflects on the folly of policy advocates masquerading as "full-blown tech lawyers" – an identity he says he also assumed as a young lawyer. The lessons learned would shape his resolve to ensure that the next generation of tech lawyers be well-equipped to provide meaningful counsel, he writes. Professor Jonathan Askin Comments on Reforming the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act 6/26/2013 Professor Jonathan Askin spoke to ECommerce Times about a newly introduced bill that aims to reform the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA). Inspired by the prosecution and subsequent suicide of Internet activist Aaron Swartz early this year, the bill's authors are seeking to impose more requirements for prosecuting violators of the Act. Support for the bill is strong within the Internet community, but Professor Askin, an expert in tech law, is skeptical about its passage. New Learning Times Interviews Professor Jonathan Askin about BLIP 6/5/2013 Professor Jonathan Askin was recently interviewed by New Learning Times about the Brooklyn Law Incubator & Policy (BLIP) Clinic and its role in online and digital rights advocacy. Regarding the "hacker ethos" he hopes to instill in the next generation of Internet and tech lawyers, he explains that "[every] revolution requires those trained in law to frame the political, legal, social, and business rules and structures." Professor Jonathan Askin Comments on Verizon First Amendment Protection Case 1/25/2013 Professor Jonathan Askin recently commented on Verizon's argument that the Federal Communications Commission's Open Internet rules infringe on the company's First Amendment rights to control "transmission of speech" on its network. This argument is contradictory and risky, and could potentially subject the company to issues relating to copyright infringement, explained Professor Askin. Professor Jonathan Askin on the E.U.'s Google Privacy Concerns 10/18/2012 Professor Jonathan Askin spoke to E-Commerce Times about the European Union requests for Google to modify its global privacy policy. Professor Askin explained how these changes would help users better understand what types of data Google and its affiliates are collecting. Professor Jonathan Askin Leads Anti-Piracy Panel at Entertainment & Technology Law Conference 9/18/2012 Professor Jonathan Askin moderated the opening panel at this year's Entertainment & Technology Law Conference, which explored issues concerning the intersection of entertainment, technology, and law.

Professor Jonathan Askin Comments on Ad-Free Social Media 8/16/2012 Professor Jonathan Askin spoke to Tech News World about a new campaign being launched that aims to create ad-free competitors to social networking sites.

Professor Jonathan Askin on FTC's Allegations against Facebook 8/16/2012 Professor Jonathan Askin recently commented on the Federal Trade Commission's new allegations that Facebook charged app developers for services it never provided.

Professor Jonathan Askin on Facebook and the First Amendment 8/11/2012 Professor Jonathan Askin spoke to Tech News World about an amicus brief filed by Facebook, arguing that clicking the "Like" button on its site is speech protected under the First Amendment.

Professor Jonathan Askin on Google's $23 Million User Privacy Violation Fine 8/11/2012 Professor Jonathan Askin spoke to Law360 about the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) decision to fine Google $23 million for violating a commitment they made to protect user privacy by placing tracking cookies on Safari browsers.

Professor Jonathan Askin Comments on the Legal Obstacles Faced by Start-Ups 5/23/2012 Entrepreneur magazine spoke with Professor Jonathan Askin, highlighting the pro bono work of the Law School's Brooklyn Legal Incubator and Policy (BLIP) Clinic, which "helps startups navigate legislative, regulatory and judicial obstacles."

Professor Jonathan Askin Discusses SOPA and Alternative Solutions to Piracy 5/8/2012 In a recent article in the Huffington Post, Professor Jonathan Askin commented on the ongoing controversy surrounding the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and Protect IP Act (PIPA).

Professor Jonathan Askin Speaks about Traditional Media vs. New Media in Political Campaigns 5/8/2012 As the number of social media users continues to skyrocket, politicians preparing for the 2012 elections are exploring new forms of media to share their messages.

Professor Jonathan Askin and BLIP Clinic Profiled in Forbes 2/7/2012 The Brooklyn Legal Incubator & Policy (BLIP) Clinic and its founder, Professor Jonathan Askin, were profiled by Forbes about the important relationship between young lawyers and the Internet start-up community. Professor Jonathan Askin Compares Occupy Wall Street Movement to Digital Startups 11/2/2011 In an op-ed for the Huffington Post, Professor Jonathan Askin defends the fluid and catch-all message of the Occupy Wall Street movement, comparing it to the modern format of digital startups. He explains the importance of "pivoting," where startup companies must reinvent themselves quickly and efficiently to satisfy the needs of consumers. Similarly, he argues that Occupy Wall Street is "like an online platform built for public discourse, [where] the content of the forum is not as important as building the functional platform... The content and substantive issues are transitory, but the platform and process reform issues are sustainable." Professor Jonathan Askin on "Occupy Wall Street" and the "What If?" Generation in Huffington Post Op-Ed 10/15/2011 In an op-ed for the Huffington Post, Professor Jonathan Askin discusses how the "Occupy Wall Street" protests spreading across the nation is an accurate reflection of the digital age. He argues that the generation of young people who have grown up crowd-sourcing information and creating alternate universes online are now taking those tools to reshape broken systems in real life. Professor Jonathan Askin on "Occupy Wall Street" Protests in the Christian Science Monitor 10/13/2011 In a recent article, the Christian Science Monitor examines how social media became a driving force for the growth and spread of "Occupy Wall Street" demonstrations. Individuals and organizations on both sides of the dispute--from protesters and their supporters to political strategists and public safety officials--are paying close attention to the onslaught of digital information. Professor Jonathan Askin argues however that making sense of the raw data is much more complicated. He explains the predicament to the Christian Science Monitor: "Everyone, even each protester, is a real-time microblogger or photojournalist. The problem now is in filtering, curating, dissecting and synthesizing meaningful media content from the endless flood of isolated data. We have the tools to create, upload, and disseminate the need information for informed public discourse, he adds, "but we still lack the curation tools needed to make sense of the dramatic changes occurring through these new social protest movements." Professor Jonathan Askin on AT&T/T-Mobile Merger 9/30/2011 With the forthcoming merger of telecom giants AT&T and T-Mobile, Dish Network Corp. has been pressing the Federal Communications Commission to investigate whether the buyout would create threats to competition. Professor Jonathan Askin commented that it is rare for the FCC to bring such cases to a hearing. "It can be a very long and drawn out process, and it preculdes any further public input." Professor Jonathan Askin Discusses President Obama's Re-Election Campaign on ABC News 7/2/2011 In ABC News' coverage of President Obama's 2012 re-election campaign, several experts are evaluating his progress to date compared to this point in 2007. Among the experts, Professor Jonathan Askin commented on the new role of technology and social networking. "It's harnessing tools like 4-Square and Places, or tied into Google maps," he explained, "so people know and can conveniently access real moments of campaign activity – events, calls, phone banks – in real time and real places." Professor Jonathan Askin Discusses Impact of President Obama's Twitter in the Christian Science Monitor 6/21/2011 As Republican presidential hopefuls take more and more advantage of social media, President Obama's Twitter account has been posting messages signed "-BO" that are personally written by the president, as opposed to staffers. Professor Jonathan Askin commented on the impact of these personal tweets to the Christian Science Monitor. "Politicians are under pressure to reassure followers about who is actually behind social media messages, and followers are getting more adept at sniffing out when a public figure is using social media consultants to post and tweet on his or her behalf," he explained. "Many of us are looking for a genuineness that hired guns can't provide." Professor Jonathan Askin Speaks at the Free Press National Conference for Media Reform 4/14/2011 Professor Jonathan Askin was one of several expert panelists at the Free Press National Conference for Media Reform, which debated how much influence the telecom industry now has over the Federal Communications Commission. On the issue of Congress also affecting the FCC's problems, Professor Askin commented, "At the top, it's almost impossible to get an independent champion at the FCC when Congress is so heavily influenced by the industry." Professor Jonathan Askin Presents at National Conference for Media Reform 4/10/2011 Professor Jonathan Askin was one of five panelists at the National Conference for Media Reform in Boston. The conference gathered media and technology law experts to discuss the source of the Federal Communications Committee's decision-making problems and how it can stick to beneficial policies without yielding to politics. Professor Jonathan Askin on the AT&T/T-Mobile Merger in the Huffington Post 3/23/2011 While many argue that the merger of cell phone giants AT&T and T-Mobile will give consumers even fewer choices and less bargaining power, some experts believe the move may give regulators the chance to finally create stricter policies in the telecom industry. "Competition in the wireless world has been largely a charade," explained Professor Jonathan Askin to the Huffington Post. "Companies are still charging close to whatever they want without any real government oversight, or without any real innovation." Professor Jonathan Askin and BLIP Profiled by The Huffington Post 2/3/2011 In a recent profile, the Huffington Post spoke with Professor Jonathan Askin about the extensive work done by the Brooklyn Law Incubator and Policy (BLIP) Clinic in the tech world. BLIP was founded in 2008 and functions as an Internet law firm, providing free legal assistance to start-up companies. Explaining the importance of the intersection of the legal and technological worlds, Professor Askin says, "Lawyers are still the only people who use fax machines--a demonstration of our Luddite tendencies. Change comes a lot slower to legal professions than the tech/entrepreneurship world. We've got to learn how to keep up. We've got to use the tools that other entrepreneurs have used." Professor Jonathan Askin on the Comcast-NBC Universal Merger 1/20/2011 In the Christian Science Monitor, Professor Jonathan Askin discusses the purchase of NBC Universal by Comcast, America's largest cable provider. The cable giant would hold a 51% stake, creating an enormous vertically integrated corporation with interests in film, television, Internet, and telecommunications-services. Professor Jonathan Askin Comments on U.S. v. Warshak and the Fourth Amendment 12/16/2010 The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled in favor of Stephen Warshak in the case U.S. v. Warshak, stating that the government should have had appropriate search warrants before seizing and searching the defendant's emails. Professor Jonathan Askin discussed the court's decision with the E-Commerce News. "It's reassuring to see that the Sixth Circuit recognizes that the Fourth Amendment should be technology-agnostic," he said. "Just because we now use modes of communications not contemplated by the framers of the Constitution does not mean that government gets a free pass to intercept and listen in without following constitutionally mandated process." Professor Jonathan Askin Comments on Google Earth 6 12/1/2010 Google has released the sixth version of its program Google Earth, which provides 3D interactive digital models of cities and towns around the world. The newest version includes additional details such as 3D trees and a virtual assistant called "Pegman." Professor Jonathan Askin, an expert on Internet law, discussed the updates with Tech News World. "Google Earth 6 is indeed world-shaking, and disrupts a lot of traditional thinking about how we view the world," he said. "[It] will be met with concerns, some logically justified. Concerns include potential encroachment on individual privacy, and potential law enforcement and security risks that ensue by placing such powerful tools in the hands of all individuals, including those with nefarious intentions." Professor Jonathan Askin Discusses Wikileaks 11/30/2010 Wikileaks, the online organization that publishes government documents unauthorized for the public, has gone forward with releasing more than 250,000 cables between the U.S. State Department and 274 embassies around the world. Professor Jonathan Askin discussed the controversial documents with Tech News World. "We've come a long way since the Pentagon Papers and Deep Throat served as the greatest perceived threats to national secrets," he said. "Wikileaks is simply the latest sign that there has to be a new model of open governance. If it weren't [Wikileaks founder] Julian Assange, someone else would have come along to harness the distributive power of the Internet." Professor Jonathan Askin Featured in New York Daily News for "Do Gooders" Award Nomination 10/20/2010 Professor Jonathan Askin was featured in the New York Daily News for his Brooklyn Community Foundation "Do Gooder" award nomination. Professor Askin talked about the Brooklyn Incubator and Policy Clinic (BLIP), founded in 2008, which provides free legal help for small business start ups. "Brooklyn should be a haven for innovation," he said. "If my students and I can make that happen, more power to Brooklyn." Professor Jonathan Askin Participates in Net Neutrality Debate 9/18/2010 Professor Jonathan Askin participated in 4GWE's net neutrality audio-conference, arguing for stronger federal net neutrality policies. "I had great hopes that this administration and this FCC would ... sanctify policy about politics," he said." I have some concerns that they are now caving in to political pressures." Professor Jonathan Askin on Consumer Watchdog's Critical Video of Google 9/4/2010 Professor Jonathan Askin spoke with E-Commerce Times about Consumer Watchdog's video that blasts Google for privacy invasion. The video, which is currently being advertised in Times Square, features Google CEO Eric Schmidt handing out free ice cream cones to children while taking their photos and personal information. Professor Askin said about the video, "If you're looking for a place to run a less-than-subtle ad, a Times Square billboard is the place to run it. The issue probably begs for a less-than-subtle ad campaign to incite people to think harder about privacy in an online world." This Week in Law Hosts Professor Jonathan Askin to Discuss Net Neutrality 8/31/2010 Professor Jonathan Askin was a guest on episode 75 of This Week in Law, "Morons in a Hurry," with Greg Sandoval. Along with hosts Denise Howell and Evan Brown, they discussed Google, music lawsuits and rights, and net neutrality. Professor Jonathan Askin Discusses Crowdsourcing with Fox Business News 8/25/2010 To gain a wider perspective, many companies are turning to crowdsourcing—adopting the suggestions of clients—when making design decisions. While the idea makes business more inclusive to consumers, Professor Jonathan Askin told Fox Business that the legal implications are not as simple as people may think. "Copyright law hasn't evolved as quickly as the Internet," he said. "We don't have the right structure to protect information that has been crowdsourced by a large group of people to a company that aggregates it." Professor Askin Quoted in Christian Science Monitor About the FCC's Expletive Fines 7/15/2010 On July 13, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the Federal Communications Commission must revise its policy on fining broadcasters thousands of dollars for "fleeting expletives" unintentionally aired on television. The ruling has excited First Amendment legal experts, who have been concerned about the FCC's growing control of televised material in recent years. Professor Jonathan Askin spoke to the Christian Science Monitor about the decision and discussions in Congress about the FCC taking authority over the Internet: "Internet-delivered video – relying on a technology that eliminates previous barriers to free speech, and makes the free press even more accessible to and by all – should, arguably, remain free of unnecessary regulations that were uniquely intended for the environment of legacy video platforms." Professor Askin on Consumer Reports' Review of iPhone 4 7/15/2010 Although the iPhone 4 has become Apple's most successful product launch to date, Consumer Reports did not recommend the latest version of the cell phone due to signal strength problems--providing free ammunition for those filing consumer fraud suits against the company. Professor Jonathan Askin spoke to Law360 about the possible outcomes of Consumer Reports' evaluation of the new iPhone: "It will likely compel Apple to step up its technical and public relations efforts to mitigate the damage to Apple's image and reputation."

While chicken is steaming, place 1-quart water in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, add the Chinese greens, and cook for 1 minute on high heat. Remove the greens and drain in a colander. Set aside.
Remove chicken from steamer and drain the juice into a small saucepan. Discard the scallions and ginger slices. Let chicken cool for 10 minutes and then cut into bite size pieces. Arrange the chicken pieces in the center of platter.
Add the chicken broth to the chicken juice and bring to a boil. Mix the cornstarch and water together in a small bowl, and stir into boiling chicken broth. Stir and cook until sauce is thickened. Pour the sauce over the chicken. Place the Chinese greens around the chicken pieces and serve.
*This chicken can only be found in China and are usually small (about 2 pounds), therefore you may substitute Cornish Game Hens in this recipe. Also, the Chinese greens are known as bok choy hearts, so you may substitute baby bok choy.

Game Notes (Women) - PDF
Game Notes (Men) - PDF
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. -- The Tennessee Tech men's and women's basketball teams will return to action after just one day off since sweeping an OVC double-header against UT Martin on Saturday. This time the Golden Eagles will head down Interstate-40 to take on Tennessee State Monday night in a double-header beginning with the women's game at 5:30 p.m. in the Gentry Center.
The women's team recorded back-to-back OVC wins for the first time this season last weekend as the Golden Eagles knocked off Murray State and UT Martin. Tech looks to make it three straight against Tennessee State, but that will not be an easy task against the Lady Tigers who defeated the Golden Eagles, 65-62, earlier this season in Cookeville.
Tennessee State downed Austin Peay, 68-57, on Saturday to improve to 9-14 overall and 6-8 in the OVC this season. The win improved TSU's home record to 8-3.
Tech (11-14, 6-9 OVC) is inching toward the .500 mark but will need a quality win at Tennessee State keep on pace of reaching that mark. The Golden Eagles have struggled on the road this season, posting a 1-10 record with their lone win coming back in December at Jacksonville State.
The Golden Eagles are looking to avoid a season sweep by the Lady Tigers, something that happened last season for the first time in the all-time series.
Both TTU and TSU are in the thick of the OVC standings as the teams jockey for position going into the conference tournament. The Golden Eagles and Lady Tigers are separated by just a half a game in the standings with TSU is tied for fifth place and Tech in seventh in the tightly contested conference.
The Tennessee Tech men's team is looking for its second consecutive win, and its first season sweep over Tennessee State since the 2006-07 season. The Golden Eagles beat the Tigers in Cookeville on Jan. 23.
Tech is 13-13 overall, and 7-8 in OVC play. TSU enters the game at 6-20 on the season, and 3-11 in conference play. While Tech is battling for a top four seed in the OVC tournament, and the right to host an opening round game, TSU is fighting for its OVC tournament life. The Tigers are currently holding on to eighth place in the OVC standings, the final spot in the eight-team OVC tournament.
Tech owns a 26-23 advantage in the all-time series against Tennessee State and the Golden Eagles have won three straight games at Tennessee State.
TSU is led by Jacquan Nobles, who is averaging 11.1 points per game. Robert Covington is averaging 9.6 points per game for the Tigers.
Tech's Kevin Murphy is among the league's best scorers, averaging 15.0 points per game. Frank Davis, a lethal shooter from long range, is averaging 14.3 points per game and shooting nearly 50 percent from outside the arc.
Both teams will have just three OVC contests remaining after Monday night. The men's team will visit Austin Peay on Feb. 18, while the women take on Austin Peay on Feb. 20.

Cook the frozen peas and scallion in the boiling water with the stock concentrate, to taste, or stock cube until tender and cooked through. Drain and discard the scallion, and put the peas into a blender.*
Add the diced mozzarella to the peas in the blender. Liquidize the soup until smooth.
*When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.

Found your disc?
August 18, 2010, 11:59:20 AM »
Has anyone ever found a lost disc of yours? What is the accepted etiquette for that situation?
I'm asking because I saw an exchange between two disc golfers in front of my table the other day. One golfer saw that the other one had one of his lost discs. He was polite about pointing out that it was his, and then he took it back. (He didn't ask for it back, he just took it.)
My problem with this is that I didn't hear him even say thank you. Granted, the other golfer didn't come forward with the disc. But, it is my contention that we should be encouraging golfers to return discs in a positive way. For my part, when a disc gets returned to me, I offer up any disc in my used bin, or in my personal stash of unused discs that I keep in my trunk. I feel this is a win-win because I get my prized disc back, while they get to choose from a bunch of used discs in return. Usually, the other golfer finds a disc they prefer over the one they are returning to me anyway. This costs me almost nothing, and it encourages those golfers honest enough to do so to continue returning lost discs.
Please keep in mind when this situation comes up that "your" lost disc isn't really yours anymore. You lost it. They found it. We all know that saying.
I've overheard a LOT of golfers talking about what they would do to a person they caught carrying a disc they lost. Please adjust your attitude so that we can encourage people to come forward and return lost discs to their original owners.
I'm open to a discussion with anyone who feels I am wrong.....

Funny that I see this. I am the one that lost the disc. To clarify, I did thank the guy that had it. I also said to the guy that it was funny that I had a bag full of discs that are marked just like the one he found. I may have been a little miffed at the guy as well seeing that he and his partner came pretty close to hitting myself and my parter as we were looking for the lost disc. Also, it seemed pretty odd that this guy found this disc, had it at your table and was looking at your used discs. This tells me he was planning on trying to trade you. Well, this disc is plainly marked with my email and a big thanks. To me the right way would have been to at least try the email addy. Now, my question is would you have traded this guy or would you have suggested he try the email?

Well, I'm glad you thanked him. I missed that....my apologies.
I'm sure he was planning on trading it in. That happens all the time. And, to answer your question to me, I would have taken it in trade. I do, however, return discs to people from my bin when I can. Especially when I know the person trading it in is not the person on the disc, though that is tough to determine sometimes. I have been known to call the number on a disc just to see if the person wants it back. I have returned about half a dozen discs this way, including one worth about $50.
I agree with you that he should have tried the email addy. I know I always do.
And, just to be clear, this was not a post that was meant to be directed at you. I was just using the most recent example in my memory to make my point.
I certainly don't want to make this post about you. I want EVERYONE to think about how they view lost discs, both those that get returned to you, and those that you find. And I stand by my statement that if a player loses a disc, it no longer belongs to them. They do not have a right to demand it back if the person does not want to give it up. And they certainly don't have the right to beat someone up over it (I have overheard threats regarding lost discs in the past.)
On the other hand, I would hope that all players feel some obligation to return a lost disc whenever possible. If the players name and phone number is on it, there is no excuse not to try.
I'm glad you responded and I'm really glad you thanked the guy. That is so important. Anything we can all do to encourage positive behavior in the disc golf community is a plus. And once again, sorry I didn't hear that, and sorry I used you as an example.

We are the lost & found for Fox Valley Metro Disc Golf Club. Members find disc of other members & the disc get turned into us. The disc sit in the van till members come and get them. Blaine always gives a disc to people to get a lost disc back. He also keeps a box of disc in the van to hand out to people that are playing that look new to the game usually dads with there kids.

I have personally experienced the lost and found that you and Blaine run. Got back one of my prized discs just before the last tournament at Oswego. Thanks again!
For those of you who don't know them, Blaine and Christie are fantastic people. When I caught up with them to get my disc, they were busy helping out the TD to get the course ready for the tournament. Both of them are super nice people!

Well.................here it is early Sunday, I've been up for a couple of hours & I'm smiling. I guess that's why they make vanilla & chocolate.
I recently lost $25.00. When I noticed I lost I announced it, Oh no I lost $25.00! The person who found it, overheard my statement, & returned it.
I think in the disc golf community, (not the gomer community) it's a standard mo to return the disc nothing should be expected. I can't tell you the work I've done to return a disc that has a name on it, I expect nothing! Tom M. can tell a story about a destroyer that was returned to him.
We have all lost discs & I find it contemptable to keep something that doesn't belong to you. It doesn't matter what it is, cell phone, money, car keys. Do you think if you found someones car keys that you have a new car?
I don't care what it is, if you find something that doesn't belong to you, it should be returned. No exceptions!!!
Chocolate & vanilla.

"Do you think if you found someones car keys that you have a new car?"
Someone turned in a lost set of car keys to me once, but I was never able to find the car.........so I guess the answer is no to that one....
Seriously though, I agree 100%. I believe in making a good faith effort to return a lost item.
The first disc I ever got back was my tribal skull Valk. I loved that disc! Lost it at trinity on hole two when it went in the water. I took one look at the water and said to myself "Self, you are not going in there."
About a year later a guy came up to my table to turn in some used discs. He was bragging about all the discs he pulled out of the pond at Trinity and he fanned out a small pile of them. I saw my Valk in there. I pointed it out to him and asked him politely if he wouldn't mind giving it back to me in return for any disc from my pile, and he was happy to do so.
Personally, I would never have gone in that water to get my disc. This guy did me a huge favor by doing so. It was only right that I offer him something in return. Since then, I have followed that same idea whenever someone returns a disc to me.

text: Coverage Considerations January 6, 2013 08:14 PM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Katie Humphreys Farm Journal Managing Editor Email What to expect when you sign up for crop insurance Amid other lessons, the titanic drought of 2012 gave farmers an education in crop insurance—and a reminder that it's as vital a tool in a marketing plan as options or calls. As of Dec. 10, crop insurance companies have paid more than $8.7 billion to farmers for losses in 2012, according to USDA's Risk Management Agency (RMA). Art Barnaby, Kansas State University risk management Extension specialist, says that number could reach $15 to $16 billion by mid-2013 when claims are paid in full. Contrary to what farmers think, the magnitude of claims in 2012 won't impact crop insurance premium rates in 2013, says Keith Coble, Giles Distinguished Professor, Department of Agricultural Economics at Mississippi State University. Premium rates for 2013 were set before complete 2012 yield and loss information was known. Looking to 2014, when 2012 losses will catch up to premium rates, increases likely won't be as large as anticipated because of the weather indexing process used to set premium rates, Coble adds. "In locations where 2012 was an unusual weather year, losses will not receive as much weight as more typical years," he explains. Consider the following five points when nailing down crop insurance coverage for 2013: 1 Premium rate changes. This year marks the second year of premium rate changes for RMA following an independent study and peer review process (see maps at right). The revised premium rates incorporate: Integration of weather data, so losses from rare weather events receive an appropriate weight in the overall process used to set rates. Refinements of premium loads for prevented planting and replant payments. Previously, these loads were determined at a state and regional level. Now they are determined based on weather districts within each state, reducing the degree that excess losses in one part of the state unduly influence premium rates in another part. More weight on loss experience from recent years, which better reflects current agronomics and the crop insurance program. 2 Yield trend factors. In its second year, trend-adjusted actual production history (APH) is being expanded for most of the U.S. for yield protection or revenue protection policies. Basically, a trend adjustment factor is estimated for each crop and county. This factor is equal to the estimated annual increase in yield and is based on county average yields determined by the National Agricultural Statistics Service. Each yield reported in the individual insurance unit's APH is adjusted upward by the trend adjustment factor times the number of years since the yield was recorded. 3 Hit to yield average. A significant yield hit in 2012 will reduce APH in some cases—and a lower APH means a lower per-acre revenue guarantee, Coble says. "On an individual farm, a lower APH will automatically increase premium rates, unless there is a larger rate reduction set by RMA," Barnaby adds. "However, premium dollars per acre will increase or decrease depending on the increase or decrease in the spring base price." When insuring a field with limited APH, a major crop loss has a much greater effect since the low-yield year is a large part of the average, explains Nathan Kohls, crop insurance agent at the Citizens State Bank in Moundridge, Kan. "Trend adjustment has only a limited effect until the yield database has more than five years of history." In most cases, though, trend adjustment will roughly offset the decrease in APH, keeping the APH near 2011 levels, he adds. 4 Enterprise units. "While enterprise units have been available since the '08 farm bill and are popular in some areas, there are still producers who need to look at enterprise units more carefully," Coble says. An enterprise unit combines all of the acres of a particular crop within a county. "Almost always, switching to enterprise units will lower costs such that a higher coverage level can be taken," Coble adds. 5 Shallow loss programs. Both the Senate and House versions of the farm bill contain shallow loss programs, which are in part a replacement for the direct payment program. The Agriculture Risk Coverage option in the Senate bill, which is delivered through the Farm Service Agency, and the Revenue Loss Cover age option in the House bill cover a fixed range of loss that uses prices and yields not tied to crop insurance. The Supplemental Coverage Option, offered through the RMA, and Stacked Income Protection Plan for cotton cover countywide losses that are between the coverage level chosen by the individual farm and 90%. Both variable coverage approaches are included in the Senate and House bills. "The future of farm policy for the producer revolves around crop insurance programs," Coble says. "If some of these programs in the House and Senate bills are implemented, there's going to be some real issues for producers in terms of the choices they have. Because the farm bill is still in limbo, though, we don't know what's going to happen. Either way, it's going to be complicated." Remember, the deadline to sign up for crop insurance for most major crops is Feb. 28 in the South and March 15 farther north. Synchronize Crop Insurance and Marketing The details of the next farm bill are yet to be determined. As it currently stands, though, the direction seems to be moving away from the old support program and toward crop insurance to help manage risk. This policy shift will force producers to first decide whether to use crop insurance or self insure. The key decision is what level of crop insurance to buy. Options include: Take a relatively high level of crop insurance and then use futures and options strategies to protect the insurance premium. Advantage: Once the initial decision is made, your focus can shift to production. Disadvantage: Writing a big check with no way to offset that cost. Use a minimum level of crop insurance and futures and options strategies to optimize profitability. This requires a greater level of decision making that might or might not reduce the need to write a big check. Advantage: Greater flexibility. Disadvantage: Constant decisions must be made throughout the year. The objective is to develop an integrated risk management plan that gives flexibility to improve profitability with the least cash-flow risk possible.

Baltimore, David
David Baltimore (bôl´tĬmôr), 1938–, American microbiologist, b. New York City, Ph.D. Rockefeller Univ., 1964. He conducted (1965–68) virology research at the Salk Institute before becoming a professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1972. In 1970 he and his wife Alice Huang discovered reverse transcriptase, an enzyme that allows RNA to synthesize DNA in retroviruses. He shared the 1975 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Renato Dulbecco and Howard Temin for his experimental confirmation of the connection between certain RNA viruses and cancer.
Appointed president of Rockefeller Univ. in 1990, he resigned the next year after a scientific fraud scandal. A paper he coauthored was said to contain fraudulent data from another author, Dr. Thereza Imanishi-Kari, and Baltimore was criticized for his vehement defense of the paper despite the evidence. In 1996, an appeals panel overturned the verdict of the original investigating office, the federal Office of Scientific Integrity (now the Office of Reasearch Integrity), and Baltimore and Imanishi-Kari were exonerated. In 1997 Baltimore was appointed president of the California Institute of Technology.

The Patriots' streak of 11 postseason games as a favorite is over.
For the first time since the AFC championship game against Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts in 2007, New England is a playoff underdog, against Manning and the Denver Broncos in the AFC championship game on Sunday.
Tom Brady & Co. are willing to use that as motivation for the game that will send the winner to the Super Bowl.
"We play with a chip on our shoulder," wide receiver Danny Amendola said. "We like to play that way."
Count the Patriots out?
Go right ahead, fullback James Develin said.
"I can't really speak for everyone, but I personally love the underdog story," he said. "It just kind of keeps a little bit of the pressure off you and I just like to prove the doubters wrong."
Brady sounded the first "woe is us" note during his weekly appearance on WEEI radio Monday.
"I know when we played Baltimore nobody picked us to win," Brady said. "I'm sure no one's going to pick us to win this week. We've had our backs against the wall for a while. Really, the whole season we've lost players, and teams have really counted us out.
"We've got a bunch of underdogs on our team, and we'll be an underdog again."
The Ravens were favored to extend their four-game winning streak in the next to last game of the regular season. Baltimore was at home, but the Patriots won 41-7.
Now New England (13-4) is preparing to go on the road again. And Brady's teammates figure if playing the underdog card against Denver (14-3) is good enough for him, it's good enough for them.
"If Tom's going to embrace it, I'm going to embrace it," New England running back LeGarrette Blount said with a smile. "That's the leader of this team, and if that's how he feels, I'm sure that's how most of the guys out here feel."
In that loss to the Colts seven years ago, the Patriots held an 18-point lead late in the first half but lost 38-34. Indianapolis went on to win the Super Bowl.
That also was the Patriots' most recent playoff road game. Since then, they're 7-2 at home and 0-2 in Super Bowls at neutral sites.
This season, they were underdogs at home against Denver on Nov. 24, but won 34-31 in overtime after trailing 24-0 at halftime. Broncos tight end Julius Thomas missed that game with a knee injury. Now he's back, one of five Denver receivers with at least 60 catches this season.
"He's a heck of a football player, a playmaker, go-to guy for them," Patriots safety Steve Gregory said. "He can create mismatches and things like that, so he's a good football player. But they have a lot of good football players."
The 250-pound Blount creates mismatches as well, able to elude big linemen and run over small defensive backs. He ran for 166 yards and four touchdowns in Saturday night's 43-22 win over Indianapolis after rushing for 189 yards and two touchdowns in the previous game, a 34-20 win over Buffalo in the regular-season finale.
"I can do a lot of improving," Blount said after watching video of the Indianapolis game. "I've seen a couple of holes I could have hit, and I've seen a couple of cuts I could have made. I'm going to go out there and look at what they're going to give me, and hopefully explode somewhere."
Blount got off to a slow start this season, his first with the Patriots.
It would be dangerous to underestimate him now, just as the Broncos would be unwise to put too much stock into their status as favorites.
After all, Brady fooled all those teams that bypassed him in the 2000 draft until the Patriots took him in the sixth round with the 199th overall pick.
"He came into the league as a big underdog," Develin said, "so I'm sure he's used to that."

Corelation, the San Diego core system provider, has announced that it has signed the $624 million Lathrup Village, Mich.-based Michigan First Credit Union to implement its technology.
Conversion is slated for July 2013, said Michigan First CEO MichaelPoulos in an interview. He indicated that the institution is presently on a Symitar core, but in looking ahead to a world of 24/7 banking, he said the credit union needed a core that offered round the clock availability to staff.
"The Corelation core will give us that," said Poulos, who explained, "ultimately we want to expand our hours. We want to be able to take loan applications at 3 a.m. and this new core will let us."
Around a dozen credit unions are either on the CorelationKeyStone core or awaiting conversion, according to the company.
"The flexibility and openness of our KeyStone system will enable Michigan First to grow exponentially well into the future with the products and services they specifically need to better serve their members," added Corelation President/CEO, Theresa Benavidez, in a prepared statement. "We designed our system to fit the unique requirements of credit unions like Michigan First, who want to offer 24/7 service to their members."
Although Corelation is a comparative newcomer to the core system field, Poulus added that the team behind the platform is highly experienced and that he had confidence in them.

Armand de Brignac, colloquially "Ace of Spades" after the logo, is the name of a Champagne brand produced by Champagne Cattier, and sold in opaque metallic bottles. The brand's first bottling, Armand de Brignac Brut Gold, is identifiable by its distinctive gold bottle with pewter Ace of Spades labels. The brand is owned by New York City-based Sovereign Brands in partnership with Cattier, and was introduced in late 2006.
Armand de Brignac's Champagnes are marketed as flagship cuvées in selected markets. They are produced in a multi-vintage style (like Krug's Grande Cuvée) as opposed to the vintage prestige cuvées of some other Champagne houses (including Louis Roederer's Cristal and Moët et Chandon's Dom Pérignon). Like much Champagne, the Brut Gold cuvée is a blend of the grape varieties Pinot noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay, making use of only Premier Cru and Grand Cru-rated grapes. Two other cuvées, a Rosé and a Blanc de Blancs (100% Chardonnay) were released in 2008.

5 Bargain Hotels in New York City
The editor of ManhattanUsersGuide.com recommends five great hotels that usually cost under $200 a night.
- The Pod Hotel The dated Pickwick Arms Hotel in midtown east Manhattan has been reinvented as the sleek Pod Hotel. Rates for a single with a shared bath start at $89 a night. Queen rooms with private baths start at $159. All have LCD TVs, iPod docking stations, and free Wi-Fi.
- Abingdon Guest House Located in the West Village on 13 Eighth Ave., this property offers doubles from $169. Comprised of two homey 1850s town houses, this colorfully painted spot has either private or en suite bathrooms, and many rooms have nonworking fireplaces. Light sleepers should avoid rooms facing Eighth Ave. Check-in is at Brewbar Cafe, the coffeehouse downstairs.
- Country Inn in the City On the Upper West Side (west of Central Park), this English-inspired inn might transport you to the British Cotswolds. Country antiques, four-poster beds, and hunting-lodge accents sing with Old World charm. Downsides are no credit cards and its three-day minimum stay. Reservations only. Doubles from $160.
- The Larchmont This 57-room property is tucked away on a quiet side street of charming, historic Greenwich Village. Stepping inside this lovely 1910 brownstone town house, you feel more like you're visiting a private residence than a hotel. (In fact, upon check-in, guests receive front-door keys and enter through a separate foyer.) The lobby is cheerfully decorated with a few oversize pieces including a large boar statue, wooden armoire, and brown leather couch. Rooms have rattan furniture, dark floral bedspreads, ceiling fans, and books to add a homey touch. All have shared baths. Rates: $90-$109 weeknights, typically $100/$125 weekends, continental breakfast included.
- Second Home on Second Avenue Don't be put off by the shabby facade of this 1900s town house—fun, even tastefully, appointed accommodations with soundproof windows lie inside. Choose from themed rooms—tribal, modern, Peruvian, etc. Doubles from about $100.

By extracting dissolved carbon dioxide from seawater and combining
it with hydrogen stripped from water molecules, Navy chemists
hope to one day secure a cheap and steady fuel source for its
fleet of jets.
"The U.S. Navy is surrounded by seawater and the Navy needs
jet fuel," said Robert Dorner, a scientist at the Naval Research
Laboratory in Washington, D.C. who works on the technology.
"In the seawater you have CO2 and you have hydrogen. The
question is how do you convert that into jet fuel."
The answer, according to Dorner, is a modified version of the
chemical reaction known as the Fischer-Tropsch process.
Typically Fischer-Tropsch starts with carbon monoxide and hydrogen
and, using metal catalysts and heat, ends with a mixture of methane,
waxes and synthesis gas (syngas), which can then produce fuel
or plastic.
Fischer-Tropsch is expensive and energy-intensive, which often
limits its usefulness. One of the few times it has proven economical
was using solid coal to produce liquid fuel for World War II Germany.
Instead of coal, Dorner and his colleagues want to use the carbon
dioxide dissolved in seawater (140 times the amount found in the
atmosphere) and hydrogen stripped from water as the base materials
for the reaction.
They also want to change the metal catalysts, switching from
cobalt, which produces mostly methane, to iron, which drops methane
production by 70 percent and increases the amount of syngas produced.
Producing syngas instead of methane more efficiently is significant,
but it's not jet fuel. One additional step is necessary to get
jet fuel. During the next few weeks Dorner and his colleagues
will take the final step, turning syngas into actual jet fuel.
The results of those experiments will help determine whether
or not their modified version of the Fischer-Tropsch process is
economical for the U.S. Navy.
"It's still a very energy-intensive process," said
Dorner. "A lot of work remains to be done. We haven't even
really looked at building an actual pilot plant yet."
Assuming the process is economical, Dorner doesn't expect every
aircraft carrier in the fleet will be equipped with the technology.
Instead the various pumps and energy sources required to turn
seawater into jet fuel would be installed on a separate ship that
uses the heat difference in the water column to help power the
reaction, although this is speculation, says Dorner.
The economics of turning seawater into jet fuel still need to
be demonstrated, said Jean-Michel Lavoie, a scientist at Sherbrooke
University in Quebec, Canada. But, he adds, the idea is appealing
because it doesn't use drinkable water and there are massive amounts
of raw materials to work with.
With cheap oil still readily available, especially in the United
States, it probably won't be practical for several years.
"But one thing is for sure," says Lavoie. "The
idea of using seawater as a medium for CO2 transportation is a
good one and could be beneficial both on the energy as well as
environmental point of view."

From AlsaProject
The ALSA scenario or use case manager is a LGPL library designed to allow high level control of audio scenarios or use cases in sound device hardware. It is intended to be used by applications to change the hardware audio scenario of a device in a generic and portable manner. e.g. a dialer application may want to set a "GSM phone call" scenario or a media player may want to set a "playback via headphones" scenario.
This library is not meant to replace gstreamer, PulseAudio or a sound server, but is meant to work in tandem with such audio software.
The library is still work in progress. More info can be found here atm.

Mayor's Office
Mayor Chris Beutler today announced that Friendship Home, a local domestic shelter, will receive a free interior paint color makeover November 6 and 7 courtesy of Benjamin Moore Paints' "Color Care Across America" campaign. Friendship Home's nomination was supported by Mayor Beutler. It was one of 51 shelters chosen by the United States Conference of Mayors (USCM) through a competitive process to receive the makeover.
"Friendship Home does an excellent job of providing services for women and children who are victims of domestic violence," said Mayor Beutler. "A fresh coat of uplifting color will provide an emotional boost for those who depend on the Friendship Home for the vital shelter and support the agency provides."
Benjamin Moore Paints has spearheaded the nationwide initiative with the USCM and the Painting & Decorating Contractors of America. The goal is to give color makeovers to one shelter in each state plus one in Washington, DC, all within a 50-day period.
"We are thrilled to have been chosen for the Color Care initiative and we extend our most heartfelt thanks to Mayor Beutler and Benjamin Moore Paints for their caring and generosity," said Jane Cogan, Friendship Home Program Director. "The bright colors will help bring about an increasingly warm and welcoming environment that will make a big difference in the lives of the women and children we serve."
Benjamin Moore Director Carl Minchew said the program was inspired in part by President Obama's call to service and by the growing ranks of the homeless. He said the program's goal is to bring attention to the issues of homelessness and domestic abuse while helping to improve the living environments for those who seek the basic human need of having a roof over their heads. "It reflects the importance of forging partnerships between private enterprise and public service to find solutions for the kinds of issues that government no longer can afford to cope with alone," he said.
"The nation's mayors are the first to understand the hardships facing families today and have made reducing homelessness one of their top priorities," said Tom Cochran, CEO and Executive Director of USCM. "With the failure of the national economy to rebound and the dwindling resources on the ground, many people are out of work, homeless and must turn to these shelters for help. That's why we are pleased to be part of this Benjamin Moore program."
Friendship Home exists to support, shelter and advocate for women and children who are victims of domestic violence by providing safe, confidential emergency shelter and transitional shelter to rebuild lives free from fear. The organization also provides an array of crisis intervention services, case management and emotional support to women and children in shelter and those who are awaiting shelter. More information on Friendship Home is available at friendshiphome.org.

As many of you know, this is the category closest to my reading heart. I try to read actively along a broad range of subjects (there are some books on this list that surprised me by ending up here), but my deepest loves are history and biography, and 2011 was an exceptionally strong year for both – so much so that, unlike most years, picking only ten was a torturous process (hence the swollen size of the Stevereads Honor Roll). There are thin years and fat years, in publishing as in all else, and 2011 was a very fat year.
10. The Selected Canterbury Tales (Norton) – We'll prefer to call this edition of Chaucer's book 'nonfiction' because it never comes to us ab ovo anymore but rather encrusted in decidedly non-fictional critical afflatus. And the critical apparatus here is elegant and eye-opening (as, indeed, is the book's cover, the best Chaucer cover I've ever seen): Professor Sheila Fisher has given us a 'selection' from the poem, a selection far meatier and more enjoyable than many un-shortened versions. With its lightly-worn erudition, its extremely judicious adaptations of some of Chaucer's indigestible bits, and especially in its barely-suppressed grin of very Chaucerian amusement, this edition rather handily beats out the half-dozen new translations and adaptations that have appeared in the last five years. To adapt the old ad-speak slogan: if you only buy one version of Chaucer any time soon, make it this one.
9. Under the Sun (the letters of Bruce Chatwin) – This big, well-annotated (I found only one gaffe) compilation of Bruce Chatwin's chatty, urbane, unfailingly substantial letters is that rarest of epistolary conglomerations: a volume that can be read sequentially like a novel, with mounting pleasure (that enormous volume of Kingsley Amis' letters from a few years ago was the same way – alas, pre-Stevereads!). And it's a Bruce Chatwin-centric production from first to last, full of incredibly learned asides, dipsy speculation, an the most wonderful collection of boldfaced lies this side of The Book of Mormon. Although he vigorously denied it, Chatwin always intended to live on through his letters (there was nothing more insincere in the whole universe than his hastily-appended 'burn this'), and this pleasingly fat volume will certainly aid in that endeavor.
8. The Information by James Gleick – Another unlikely entrant, James Gleick (author of the incomprehensible gobbledegook that was Chaos) has written a new book that is a natural history of this baggy, vast second world mankind has been generating since the stone tablets of Sumeria, 'the information,' a sprawling other country to which this book is a trotting Baedeker. How we generate it, how we store it, how we use it – and also how it changes on its own, while we're not looking. Ordinarily, such technical mumbo-jumbo would have me hitting 'delete,' but when Gleick writes that 'Not all information is knowledge, and not all knowledge is wisdom,' he utterly wins me over. The Information will be by far the most important … thing of the 21st century, and this book is its best herald. I hope it approves.
7. George F. Kennan: An American Life by John Lewis Gaddis – The long-suffering author of this book agreed to wait until his subject, fraidy-cat cold warrior George F. Kennan, died – which Kennan finally did in 2005, aged 237, the last surviving signer of the Declaration of Independence (which he called "a potentially inadvisable step"). Gaddis does a superb job fleshing out the man who sculpted so much of the 20th century's political landscape and then spent the last 157 years of his life trying every trick in his Walter Mitty little imagination to keep the spotlight on himself without looking like that was what he was doing (mostly by disagreeing with everything said or done by anybody in the entire world, and by maintaining that nobody understood him). Gaddis deals evenly with this low-boil egomania, and the warts-and-all portrait that results is one for the ages – ages which will be unknowingly forever in Kennan's debt (and, at last, spared his Eeyore presence on the sidelines).
6. Inferno by Max Hastings – Hastings takes 800 pages to achieve the damn near impossible: an indispensable one-volume history of the most-chronicled war in human history. Inferno is always taut, takes nothing for granted, keeps the pages turning every bit as though its readers didn't know how it all turns out. New angles and insights are generated on even the most shopworn subjects, and the narrative strikes the perfect balance between clinical and compassionate. No serious reader of history – especially those who, like me, think there's nothing new under this particular sun – should miss this magisterial tome.
5. Britain After Rome by Robin Fleming – Post-apocalyptic writing is far from being the sole property of science fiction – the lessons gain weight from living history. In Fleming's intense, cinematic rendering, we see the first full-blown apocalypse of the West – the departure of Roman forces from the imperial outpost of Great Britain in the fourth century. Fleming's portrait shows an incredibly resilient group of societies left to fend for themselves against the quick-witted barbarians who are always waiting at the periphery of any power's fall. These little kingdoms are forced to re-invent themselves, and the author tells the story with great attention to detail, great humor, and a sure-footed synthesis of all the new findings that keep turning up in British fields.
4. The Hemlock Cup by Bettany Hughes – It's been over 20 years since I. F. Stone's best-selling The Trial of Socrates, and it at last has a worthy successor – and a narrative superior – in Bettany Hughes' engrossing study of the famously contrarian 4th-century philosopher and the Athenian polity that eventually consigned him to death. Hughes breathes new life into all the well-worn details of Socrates' life, trial, and death, so even readers familiar with it all will find themselves rapt with attention, no matter which side of the great 'did-he-deserve-it' debate they find themselves on.
3. 1812: The Navy's War by George Daughan – The author tackles his still-too-neglected subject with an unflagging enthusiasm, focusing on the fledgling U.S. Navy's efforts, outnumbered and out-gunned, to wage the new nation's war against the greatest naval power on the face of the Earth. Daughan is a master of evocative set-pieces (no history buff will want to miss his account of the Constitution v.s the Java, which actually manages to out-do the fictional version in Patrick O'Brian's The Fortunes of War), thrilling battle-narratives, and pithy exposition, but he's also adept at the broader scene-setting so many accounts of the this war either lack or overdo. This volume supercedes all other accounts of the War of 1812, even, I'm melancholy to observe, Pierre Berton's great two-volume work from a few decades ago, and it's the single best work of history I read all year.
2. Worm by Mark Bowden – The subject of this lively, fascinating story, the incredibly insidious Conficker computer virus, is almost certainly present in whatever device you're using to read these words – and in all your other networked devices (or in devices you've even once connected to a network, like your printer), just sitting there, interfering with nothing, self-propagating like crazy, occasionally sending out quick signals to its Dark Overlord, telling that person where in the world it's physically located. Bowden deploys his entire grab-bag of nonfiction-specialist tricks in order to craft a fast-paced, gripping story about the likely origins of this super-virus, and the intrepid band of petty, nerdy, back-biting, non-hygienic, arrogant, utterly insufferable computer-experts who dub themselves 'the X-Men,' vow to stop the Conficker, and then proceed to spat with each other, issue grandiose public announcements every time they turn around, and do precious little to stop the Conficker. Indeed, this may be the very first potential major-level public threat that was ignored specifically because of how God-damn annoying its watchdogs were, and Bowden tells the whole story with surgical skill. I haven't read a book this horrifying since Mattie Stepanek's Heartsongs.
1. The View from Lazy Point by Carl Safina – The genre of nature-writing is particularly embattled in shthe 21st century, especially in the United States, still reeling from eight years of President George W. Bush's unrelenting legislative hatred of the environment. All the more remarkable, then, that Carl Safina, author of the gorgeous Song for the Blue Ocean, should produce a work as personal, as heartfelt, and as ultimately full of hope as The View from Lazy Point, which instantly joins such classics as Pilgrim at Tinker Creek and The House on Nauset Marsh on the shelf of the best, most evocative, and least delusional hymnals of nature, itself embattled by a choking tide of plastic and waste. Safina's Lazy Point isn't some far Erewhon where it's still possible to see an egret – it's only a few miles from New York City, which makes the wonders he captures that much more meaningful. No nature-walker should miss this great book, the Stevereads Best Nonfiction Book of 2011.

jonni mogul
betcha bootz.
bazooka joe. bubble7inch5
you have already heard some great 7"es by sensational british 70s/80's retro-electro duo mogul, such as the recent 'rotunda' ep on elefant. 'i`m going pop now i`m solo, and will have big hits,stuff indie music it`s rubbish' (jonni mogul) - well, 'betcha bootz' is the first official release for jonni as 'jonni mogul', continuing bazooka's consequent research for what we call 'hits'- ride the rodeo !!!! the red vinyl single will be backed with 'el chupacabra', the mythological name for the mexican goat-sucker - a four-fanged, red-eyed creature which drank live goats' blood, plus that of the odd mexican resident (see x-files episode 'el mundo gira' for more). 'el chupacabra' is an instrumental track, so jonni says, with (quote) "a mad latino sample going 'eh eh chupa-chupacabra he he". yi-haaa!

Medical Examiner Says Dogs Not Involved in Garland Death
The State Medical Examiner's office says a Dover-Foxcroft man found dead in a house in Garland yesterday died from natural causes. Speculation of an animal attack flourished yesterday when two dogs, found inside the house, were quarantined.
Just after 1:30 Wednesday afternoon, State Troopers responded to a call of a dead body found at 142 Campbell Road in Garland. Family members had found the body of Daniel R. Neal, 62 in the house that belongs to Neal's daughter. He had stayed with her the night before.
During the investigation, two adult dogs that had been in the house were quarantined, prompting questions from the media about whether they were involved in the death. Police says a litter of seven puppies were also at the home.
Today, the medical examiner ruled that the death was due to natural causes.

The Lipscomb Bisons will start the 2009-2010 regular season at a whirlwind pace.
Saturday night they open at home at Allen Arena against Elon at 7. That leaves them with one day of preparation before taking on Vanderbilt down the road at Memorial Gym Monday night at 7.
"I don't like having just one day of preparation to play Vanderbilt," said Bisons coach Scott Sanderson. "Our whole focus has been on Elon. We haven't talked about Vanderbilt."
Another thing that Sanderson doesn't like is not having someone established at the point guard position. Redshirt freshman Jason Arnett, senior transfer Johnny Lee and freshman Zach Brown are all in the mix.
"That is still a work in progress," said Sanderson. "It will be a work in progress until somebody plays that position with some consistency.
"We are a little bit on edge with that position unsettled. We have two or three options there, but they are all different. I wish someone would step up and take the lead."
The Bisons are 8-0 in home openers in Allen Arena. Elon beat the Bisons 79-75 in overtime last season at Elon.
"We need to win our home games," said Sanderson. "We want to have a quick start."
Sanderson is certain of at least three starters. Junior Josh Slater will start at the No. 2 guard. Junior Brandon Brown will start at one forward spot. Junior Adnan Hodzic will be in the post. Either junior Michael Teller or sophomore Brian Wright will get the starting nod at the other forward spot.
Matt Matheny is making his debut as the head coach for Elon. They return eight players from last season and are the preseason pick to finish fifth in the Southern Conference Northern Division.
"It will be very similar to playing an Atlantic Sun team," said Sanderson. "They are going to try to play a little bit faster. They shoot a lot of threes too.
"There will be a lot of possessions during the game. We will have to defend their 3-point shooting."
The Bisons also would like to see a lot of possessions in the game, as long as they result in points.
"Hopefully, we can continue to build defensively," said Sanderson. "We would like to see a lot of possessions over the course of the game as well in order to utilize our depth and our speed as far as getting the ball down the floor. We are also trying to play faster."

Raindrop Foundation is happy to announce that 14th Annual International Festival of Language and Culture Southwest USA Gala will be held on Saturday February 6, 2106 from 2:00 pm. to 4:00 pm. at Hobby Center in Houston Texas. The festival is an annual celebration and showcase for the diversity of linguistic talents from across the world. It is dedicated to cultivate and educate the youth and create a platform to share their cultural heritage with their peers around the world. It is our mission to rise on the wings of art and music and promote peace, love, and cultural encounters through the world.
The Turkish-American community condemns detentions of Ekrem Dumanli, editor-in-chief of highest circulating newspaper in Turkey, Zaman daily, Hidayet Karaca, chief executive of Samanyolu Media Group, and dozens of others, on phony charges, as a blatant breach of press freedom and rule of law.
Dumanlı and Karaca were detained along with more than 20 people in a nationwide operation early on Sunday, December 14, 2014. A list of suspects to be detained, released by İstanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, shows that a total of 32 people are to be detained.
The suspects are accused of "forming, leading or being a member of an armed terrorist organization," "forgery" and "slander," according to a statement released by the prosecutor's office.
It is an effort to collect blankets for refugees who have fled Syria and Iraq for Turkey due to the erupting violence in Syria and Iraq. The effort is to help Syrian and Iraqi refugee families in need during the harsh winter months what will soon be upon them.
Last year, 18,000 blankets were collected and shipped to Turkey. Since 2013, the crisis in Syria has only grown worse with now more than one million Syrian refugees living in Turkey alone. Refugee camps have outgrown their capacity and refugees are surviving on makeshift shelters in border cities. Now, with further unrest in the area, Iraqi refugees have started fleeing to Turkey causing the amount of people in dire need to multiply by the thousands on a regular basis.
The blanket drive will take place from November 1, 2014 through November 22, 2014. We ask for your support in our effort to provide warmth to these people in need.
Raindrop Foundation is participating in this aid program with monetary donation. Please consider that the cost of one blanket is $10.00 when you are making your monetary donation for this aid program.
You may go on to http://embracerelief.org/donations/ and find "Donate Blanket Drive for Syrian/Iraqi Refugees" button.
Please remember that every dollar donated counts. Your contributions will be used to provide a blanket and go towards the purchase of basic necessities required for caring for the Syrian and Iraqi refugees in Turkey.
Raindrop Foundation is grateful for your donations and support for this humanitarian effort.
With kind regards,
On Tuesday, May 13th a mining disaster claimed the lives of nearly 300 miners in Soma near western Turkey. According to reports the death toll seems certain to rise, as about 100 people are still missing. The disaster was caused by a fire in the mine. Efforts were made to save the victims, however only around 100 have been rescued.The mine explosion is already being called the deadliest industrial disaster in Turkey's history. It is not just those who lost relatives and loved ones in the worst mining tragedy that Turkey has ever faced who are suffering; the whole country is mourning the deaths of the 300 mine workers killed in the disaster. On behalf of Raindrop Foundation we would like to convey our condolences to the friends and relatives of the miners and our deepest sympathies to the families. Now it is time to help the rescued miners and the families of the victims.

Glee actress Amber Riley has become the latest star to leave the hit TV show.
The 26 year old, who plays Mercedes Jones on the musical series, will bid farewell to the New Directions glee club at McKinley High at the end of the current third season as her character graduates from school.
After filming her final scenes for the program, she took to Twitter.com to write, "That's a wrap on Amber Riley! Just closed a chapter in my life.
"I'm going to miss the whole Glee family, seeing them everyday! I have so many brothers and sisters now. But I am looking forward to a much needed and deserved summer vacation! School's Out Glee Kids! Let's play!"
Actress Ashley Fink, who portrays Lauren Zizes, was revealed to have been dropped from the cast last month, while series co-creator Ryan Murphy previously announced he would be fading out the characters played by leading stars Lea Michele, Chris Colfer and Cory Monteith as they 'graduate' this season, although they will return for cameos in future episodes.
