When reading about Pol Pot... I found this tidbit:
Quote:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pol_pot A Oxfords Encyclopedia of military history also states this. Without dismissing this as Western propaganda... where do they come up with this accusation? I never heard of any purge in China, or any bloody rampage Mao went on. "What has 1 year of Capitalism achieved that 70 years of Communism could not? It has made Communism look good" - Russian joke, 1993.
{sigh} are you sure you really want to go there?
well, like with stalin, the western media blames famine on the leader.. they chalk all who perish as murdered citizens.. it's a load of crap..
and it's wiki.. Quote: Exactly, which is why I want to know where they get this from. I'm not trying to start some flame war, I just want to know where they base this accusation from. The only thing I can see large loss of life coming from in China was the famine. At least with Stalin and Pol Pot you understand where they base their arguments from, but this is news to me. "What has 1 year of Capitalism achieved that 70 years of Communism could not? It has made Communism look good" - Russian joke, 1993.
Festo, lemme give you a bit of insight,,,
Wiki is publicly edited. anyone can write and provided they have a source, it is understood to be true.. Kinda like Truthiness, if enough web pages post it, it MUST be true. Utter crap. Quote: I think I realize that -_- Quote: Which is why I didnt ignore it. The book has a clear bias towards the west, but I still want to know where they come up with this. "What has 1 year of Capitalism achieved that 70 years of Communism could not? It has made Communism look good" - Russian joke, 1993.
well, then you should have linked to the oxford site if you want to debate that point.
Erm... I doubt they would post one their Encyclopedias online out of the several that they have.
This is the book though: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?tag=sovietempire&path=subst/home/home.html/Oxford-Companion- ... 0198662092 So for that point, I'm afraid you are going to have to take my word for it. "What has 1 year of Capitalism achieved that 70 years of Communism could not? It has made Communism look good" - Russian joke, 1993.
fair enough then..
Quote: Please read the book "Mao: The Unknown Story by Jung Chang and Jon Haliday"

Defected to the U.S.S.R.: 16 Aug 2006, 17:30 Party Bureaucrat
You know the book is also been ridiculed by non-marxist academics?
Ps. I'm not pro-Mao, tbh I'm not really interested in those debates and/or maoism. Ideology transforms human beings into subjects, leading them to see themselves as self-determining agents when they are in fact shaped by ideological processes. L. Althusser
Like I said, I'm not trying to start some debate.
With Hitler and Stalin, you can at least understand where they are coming from (if not heavily debated)... I don't see where they base this from. Do they base this off of the famines? "What has 1 year of Capitalism achieved that 70 years of Communism could not? It has made Communism look good" - Russian joke, 1993.
The greater threat a person poses to the imperialist hegemony, the bigger the pile of BS surrounding that person gets.
Lenin abused his children, Stalin mass-murdered 60 million people, Pol Pot killed everyone who wore glasses, Ho Chi Minh and Jiap raped women, etc etc banistansig2
I think we already established that its totally outrageous... but do you know where they base it from?
"What has 1 year of Capitalism achieved that 70 years of Communism could not? It has made Communism look good" - Russian joke, 1993. Quote: Would you have a link to any of them? I am interested to see their arguments. Quote: Well can you name a book that has a relatively neutral account of Mao (not an arse-kissing state-sponsored version)? 'Soviet-Empire. 500% more methods than other leading brands.' Quote: Neutral? No sorry. There is no such thing as a neutral point of view when it comes to people. The only "factual" and therefore neutral science comes from Math. All else is subjective, thus making the "truth" very relative. banistansig2
LOL! Those people are not mass murderers! They manipulated weak-minded masses to kill people.
From a Nehruvian perspective (what I was exposed to), basically Mao tried to do achieve volume in industry (especially Steel) by using lots of small scaler agricultural contingents, who were mostly doing subsistence / small scale agriculture.
The concept of building a national infra w/ decentralized backyard furnices didn't work out too well. On an industrial level, this meant that the produce was seldom enough for an industrial project such as mechanical spare parts, leave alone nationwide initiatives such as construction. On the agricultural sector, since massive manpower was redirected, the result was mostly rotting crops. On the ground, assuming the following chain of events are true, this would most certainly constitute massive deaths. In the Nehruvian Socialist POV the notorious deaths in the PRC were a byproduct of bad planning more so than Mao's Red Guards. He wanted to rapidly industrialize & initiate a national industry initiative. But his method of production worked relatively ok for agro but not so for industry. As a result, his industry couldn't produce the necessary quality & quantity of inputs needed for his initiatives. And to complicate matters for Mao- agro labour was converted into industrial labour- which yielded no results whatsoever. To highlight, when Deng Xiao Ping took over, the communal steel mills were disbanded. While I haven't seen the backyard steel mills in the PRC itself, we have most certainly seen them in India (considering quite a few Chinese fled to India during that period). I've seen the quality first hand. And before the 60s war, such steel was also exported in raw material in bulk. Mostly, they'd sit & rot in storehouses due to quality. Often times, you'd only find scrap merchants buy small amounts of the stuff for practically peanuts, for making simple household vessels. Most of it would just accumulate & stockpile in warehouses. It can pass off as a food storage jar, but most certainly not for machine spare parts or for construction projects (something that was Mao's main agenda). There were key factories in the cities that did make the production in terms of quality & quantity, but they couldn't cover China's geography at the time. Mao banked on an accelerated solution that didn't work & backfired in terms of civilian casualties. But I haven't been in China during these years. Comrade Fontis???
Your assessment is correct arif, Mao's GLF was an attempt to implement Stalin's planning but it failed since China was in a way worse shape than Mao had anticipated. This was obviously one of the mistakes Mao did, but then again seeing as how there isn't any "HOW TO IMPLEMENT SOCIALISM 101" manual out there, it's fully understandable.
What China needed to rapidly industrialize was a "NEP", which was introduced and still is under effect. Anyhow, the chain of events leading from the GLF and due to the war more or less put huge pressure on China. The overpopulation became another pile of pressure. There were simply too many mouths to feed and too little to work with. banistansig2
Quote: Well aware of this Comrade, keyword 'relatively'. Nevermind though, I assume the best method would be to work ones way through opposite slants of the story and try to find a middle ground. 'Soviet-Empire. 500% more methods than other leading brands.' |

/ -r J~ /<~" l Landmark to fade I~~<I Ul~~ C\TI'cou~TY \.1\l,\~,1/\ * * * * * * * * , aEfERENR~\VISION uld county poor farm closing / By J. BOB LUCAS The old county poor farm complex at 5516 E. 51st St., a Tulsa landmark for more than a half century, is about to vanish. On Oct. 21. the present occupant, the County Departmentol Social Services. will move across town to new $1 million Quarters in the county complex at 2401 Chacles Page Blvd. And all traces of the old county farm eventually will be obliterated, though no date has been set for the razing, according toCountyCommis· sian Chairman Lewis Harris. A decision first must be made he said. on where to locate Court Clerk Don Austin's old court records division. The reeords now are housed in the former hospital building. What is left of the county farm consists of two one-story brick buildings with tile roofs back among the tree~ on the extreme northeast IS-acre tip of what once was a 480 acre working, and sometimes thriving, county farm. MOST OF THAT property now is occupied by LaFortune County Park St. Francis Hospital, and Memoriai High School. In its early days, the county farm was described, in newspapers, as being eight miles east of Tulsa. It Is now surrounded by an affluent neighborhood, miles inside the city limits. .' The county farm, often described in former days as the poor farm, was created in an era when there was no federal welfare program and charity was strictly a local proposition. The farm has been known at various times as the county farm, the county home, and the county emergency shelter. The County Commission, under the Oklahoma Constitution, is the "overseer of the poor." The farm buildings were constructed in 1921. On one occasion, in its heyday, the farm reported ha ving 260 beef and milk cattle, 300 chickens, 75 or 80 hogs, not to mention work animals. Il" 1942. 9,240 jars of vegetables were canned at the farm, and its cattle won several blue ribbons. But by 1960, the federal government was in the welfare businessina big way, and the farm was on Its way out. The animal population had dwindled to one mule and four or five guinea hens. Old Jen, the melancholy mule, had outlived her usefulness and was headed for the slaughterhouse, until an outraged citizenry found her a "retirement home." The farm was the center of controversy almost from the beginning. There were rumors and reports of misdoings, political byplay, and, on various occasions. arguments about convertina the 480-acre farm into a county hospital, county park, or seiling it for what it would bring on the open market. COSVERSION of the county farm to a swank park and gall course was financed by the late J. A. LaFortune, Tulsa oilman and philanthropist. Jack Helton, county social ser,' ices director, says there is still a great need for facilities such as the County Emergency Shelter. It deals in quick relief for destitute persons who can't readily find it anywhere else. he said. "We never turn any qualilied person down," he said. "Many transients are referred to us by the Salvation Army where they can't stay more than two days." The Tulsa shelter tries to get the applicant a job in three days and into their own home in two weeks, Helton said. The move will begin October 21. It involves centralization of the County Social Services division in the new building. These include several offices at 1916 N. Sheridan Road, the county clinic, pharmacy and emergency aid. The new shelter, which will open Oct. 25, will have 30 rooms and a capacity of SO. Capacity of the old shelter was 75. The construction was financed by federal revenue sharing money.

By: Josh Rultenberg
Updated: October 3, 2012
Senior offensive Ander Bodkin of the Marianna Bulldogs committed to the Kentucky Wildcats today, according to Dustin Kent of the Jackson County Floridan and the Dothan Eagle.
The Wildcats were not the only team that wanted the 6-foot-5, 275-pound lineman. Bodkin also received offers from Florida International, Florida Atlantic, Jacksonville, Marshall, and South Florida.
The thing that impressed Bodkin the most was Mike Summers, who would he his position coach, and the Wildcats Head Coach, Joker Phillips. Bodkin did not hesitate to put the Wildcats at the top of his list after paying them a visit.
Bodkin is comfortable with his decision, and he is looking forward to playing big-time football in the SEC.

Corneal opacity is a disorder of the cornea, the transparent structure on the front of the eyeball, which can cause serious vision problems. Corneal opacity occurs when the cornea becomes scarred. This stops light from passing through the cornea to the retina and may cause the cornea to appear white or clouded over.
There are many causes of corneal opacity. In some cases, your doctor can recommend a treatment that will reverse the opacity and lessen your chance of needing additional treatment, such as surgery.
Infection, injury, or inflammation of the eye are the most common causes of corneal opacity.
The following factors increase your chance of developing corneal opacity. If you have any of these risk factors, tell your doctor:
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
If you experience any of these symptoms, do not assume it is due to corneal opacity. These symptoms may be caused by other health conditions as well. If you experience any one of the following, see your eye doctor immediately:
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history, including illnesses and injuries, and perform a physical exam.
To prepare for a comprehensive eye exam, your doctor may put drops in your eyes to numb them and to dilate the pupils. Your doctor will use a slit lamp (specialized microscope) to focus a high powered beam of light into your eye to examine the cornea and other structures in your eye.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatments vary depending on the most likely cause of the scarring and how severe the scarring is. Treatments may include:
In some cases, scar tissue may be removed surgically. The surgery may be performed using a laser, called phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK), if the scarring is close to the corneal surface. In more severe cases, a cornea transplant may be necessary.
To help reduce your chance of developing corneal opacity, take the following steps:

I realised that there are a lot of new growers and gardeners looking for straightforward advice & help so I wrote the books. Amazingly these are now bestsellers!!
You can buy them from bookstores, Amazon or direct from me here:

What to do now on your plot!
Vegetable Growing in June Vegetable Growing in July Polytunnel Growing June Polytunnel Growing July
I've been gardening and growing my own vegetables, fruit and herbs for nearly 40 years now. I was lucky enough to get a good grounding from my grandfather and I've learned a lot from my mistakes along the way.
Some years ago we moved to a new house which had a tiny suburban garden giving little room for growing vegetables, mainly a small herb bed and some salad crops. Then I realised there was an allotment site round the corner so I contacted the local council to see if they had any vacant allotments.
They put me onto the allotment site rep who showed me around and finally gave me the key to plot 5. Yes, I was the proud plot holder with 150 sq metres of overgrown, wet, heavy clay soil to play with.
What's better than an allotment? – easy two allotments and a year later I took on plot 29.
After 8 years hard work getting the allotments into good order, the soil workable and fertile and even the weeds under control it was time for another challenge and we moved to a smallholding in North Wales with a different set of challenges as I establish a new vegetable plot.
Allotments are a great hobby. They're cheap, you get healthy exercise without having to pay for a gym or run around in circles and you get to eat healthy fruit and vegetables without all those pesticide residues.
We get a lot of visitors from around the world and they're not sure what an allotment site is. Basically an allotment is a community garden. This history of allotments goes back in British history and you can find out more here: Allotment History
My wife, Val Harrison, runs the recipes and food side of the site. Growing your own inevitably means gluts and we give advice on how to store and preserve your harvest rather than waste it. Check out the recipes here.
She specialises in Jams & Chutneys and together we wrote the book Easy Jams, Chutneys & Preserves
You'll find some great allotment articles on the site, there's more to come over the next couple of weeks. If you're looking for a plot, this should help: Finding an Allotment
We've a large set of guides and in-depth articles on the basics and finer points of growing your own. These should be online over the next week or two.

Welcome to the Kentucky family history research page. Here you'll find record collection links, history, and genealogy resources to help you trace your Kentucky ancestors.
Kentucky genealogy records can be the best way to trace the roots of your own family, or those of someone else's. This could be something you are interested in as a personal hobby or to pursue as a home based business. Whatever the reason you wish to research records for genealogy charts, you should be aware of the different records you can use to make your work as successful as possible. Learn these basics, and some tricks, and you can make the most of the effort you invest in completing your work.
The Allegheny Mountains kept settlers from moving west for a time, but they eventually did pass through those mountains and establish the first settlements to the west of them, which were in Kentucky. In 1774 Harrodsburg, the first permanent settlement in Kentucky, was founded by James Harrod. Daniel Boone explored the region in 1767 and then founded Boonesboro in 1775, after cutting a trail through Cumberland Gap, when was known as the Wilderness Trail.
Originally, Kentucky was considered to be part of Virginia. However, in 1792, it became a state of its own. In 1794 General Anthony Wayne was victorious against Native Americans in Ohio, at Fallen Timbers. That ended conflicts in the region with Native Americans and made the Kentucky frontier safe for settlers. See also Kentucky History Page for more Details
Kentucky was organized as territory on May 7, 1800 and entered the union as the 15th state on June 1, 1792. It has 120 Counties. The capital is Frankfort. and the official state website is www.kentucky.gov.
Kentucky is bordered by Illinois (northwest), Indiana (north), Missouri (west), Ohio (northeast), Tennessee (south), Virginia (east), and West Virginia (east). It has a land area of 40,411 square miles making it the 37th largest state. The 2010 population was 4,339,367 and the largest cities (2010) are Louisville, 1 566,503; Lexington-Fayette,2 295,803; Bowling Green, 58,067; Owensboro, 57,265; Covington, 40,640; Hopkinsville, 31,577; Richmond, 31,364; Florence, 29,951; Georgetown, 29,098 Henderson, 28,757.
Kentucky meaning is disputed, its from the Iroquois Indian word "Ken-tah-ten," which means "land of tomorrow", but some historians believe it means "meadowland. The State Nickname is "The Bluegrass State", which is derived from the famed bluegrass grown in pastures in central Kentucky. The State Motto is "United we stand, divided we fall".
Kentucky genealogy can be traced through cemetery records, court filings such as marriage certificates and even archived newspapers. Browsing through Kentucky records like bibles, birth certificates and letters, if available, is another way to glean missing information. Libraries are a good source to find books, periodicals, magazines and other printed material full of helpful information to help trace genealogy. Unfortunately, some Kentucky counties have kept better records than others. So, you may hit a few roadblocks along the way. However, you shouldn't let that deter you, especially in this digital era.
Understanding Kentucky Genealogy - To understand the basics of genealogy, you first have to know what it is. Genealogy is a way to trace the ancestry of a family through the generations. It is a type of investigation to compile data so a family can see their own history. For many families, understanding their own heritage is very important. But, it can be difficult to get beyond the basics, to go back more than just a couple of generations. Without knowing how to conduct a proper genealogy search, there can be gaps or an incomplete family tree. So, it is a good idea to know what resources you can rely on to get the job done. Genealogical research in the state is aided by excellent research facilities and printed materials on Kentucky's early settlement.
Genealogy, or the study of one's own family history, is an important part of who we are as kentuckians. We all would like to know exactly what are origins are. Unfortunately, that is far easier for some people than for others. If you are one of those others, you may need to do some serious genealogy research. If that research point you to Kentucky, here are some things that could help you along the way. Chances are that you have some clue about your family history. It might be a picture, a date, a last name, or even a love letter. Whatever it is, use it to your advantage. Take whatever material you have and share it with others. There are many online forums devoted to Kentucky genealogical research. The people in those forums will be glad to help you with your Kentucky ancestry research.
Finding The Lost Counties It is also important for you to know that there are two "lost counties" in Kentucky. As the state changed, two counties were eventually done away with entirely. Beckham County was dissolved on 29 Apr 1904, but the state still has some postal records and marriage records on file from that county. The other "lost county" isn't really lost at all. The name was simply shortened. It went from being called Josh Bell County to simply being called Bell County beginning on January 31, 1873. The county was originally formed just after the Civil War, on February 5, 1867, from portions of Harlan and Knox Counties. So, if you are looking for records from its first 6 years, you should look under the full original name of Josh Bell County.
Paper Trails It would be fair to say that Kentucky is, in general, a little behind the times when it comes to genealogy. A lot of the Kentucky public records have not been digitized. However, that doesn't mean that they don't exist. You just have to follow the paper trails. Visit Kentucky libraries and historical societies and look for Bibles, Books, Newspaper Articles, Birth Certificates, Marriage Certificates, Death Certificates, Court Documents or Land Deeds.
The DAR (Daughters Of The American Revolution) and the SAR (Sons Of The American Revolution) are huge organizations. They are devoted to helping descendants of those who helped to fight for freedom in America during and around the time of the Revolutionary War. There are both DAR and SAR chapters in Kentucky. So, if your ancestor may have had any connection to our founding fathers or to the military, you should definitely start there.
There are several websites which contain court records and other data where visitors can trace their Kentucky ancestry for free. The Internet is also a source to find Kentucky ancestry communities where people can perform Kentucky research and potentially create family trees or connect to relatives they didn't know existed.

I go to the same McDonalds about 4 times a week. This past Thursday I went through the drive thru, ordered, handed the boy my debit card, he slid it and handed it back to me as always. I then drove to the food window where they handed me my food and i drove off. I was waiting at the light to turn in the street when a young girl from the window comes running across the parking lot yelling at me "Did you pay?" I told her yes, then she was followed out by a young male who told me my card was declined. I went in the restaurant, slid my card again and it was fine. My complaint is that first of all I was totally embarrassed being yelled at in the parking lot but more important, how dangerous is it for a young girl to run across the parking lot for a $4.00 charge. If I was trying to steal $4 worth of food I wouldn't have been sitting at the light waiting, I would have been long gone. Second, I come in there so often they could have told me the next time I was there and I would gladly have paid. I just want McDonald's employees to have some better safety training. It is extremely unsafe to pursue a customer across a parking lot and not only embarrass the customer but endanger their life
Maybe that they got you mixed up with someone else? Who knows. Ithought the cards are automatically approved and if it wasn't, thatwould have been the clerks fault for handing it to you and not tellingyou then.
I dont get this. How do they not wait for the card to be approved? Iwonder if this is their usual procedure or if it was just an isolatedincident? I know the McD's near me gives you the credit card reciepteither when they hand you back your card or when you get your food.
As Calm noted - I am really surprised that they dont wait for the cardto go through to give you your food. They really are foolish in doingthat because as you've said, if you were not waiting at the redlightyou would have been none the wiser. And, I am the kind of person thatis pretty oblivious besides whats going on in my car (which, in turnmakes me a terrible driver, and i admit that 100 percent) that i wouldnot have even noticed the girl running over to me unless she jumped onmy windshield!
It seems to me that what McDonald's ought to do so that this doesn'thappen is come up with a procedure where you either don't get yourcard back or don't get your food until the payment has gone through. And that's one reason to have people sign receipts: it makes itabsolutely clear when the payment has gone through and when ithasn't. Hoping that someone will recognize you, will remember the problem fromthe last time and will be able to track down the exact amount you owe; and that you will be cooperative, will accept their word for it thatyou weren't billed, and will be prepared to pay both charges isreally, really unlikely to ensure that McDonald's will get all themoney they're owed.
I think it is nice that you were concerned about their safety but youcannot seriously tell me that you would have paid double the next timeyou went in and not thought you were getting scammed. Another thing tothink about is that their cash drawers have to balance and if theydon't I'm sure the cashier would have a problem explaining why youweren't made to pay for your meal.
I don't know how McDonalds handles things, some companies dockemployees for their mistakes. 4 dollars may seem like small change tous, but to a teen, losing four dollars from an opening level job withresticted working hours is a big deal. I do think it's nice of you to point out the safety issue, it's verydangerous in those lots, people often are distracted "multitasking"while in a rush to get on their way, anyone darting after another carcould be seriously hurt.
Shoot...in some parts of the country when someone comes running up toyour window the safest thing to do is to take off....
This is a matter of business. If they mistakenly didn't charge you,they have a right to come running across the parking lot. What ifthey didn't? You drive off, and they sure will never get paid for thefood. A lot of people speak of being embarrassed in a consumer situation,whether it is someone being asked for identification, or a situationsuch as this. You know you did nothing wrong, so there is noreason to be embarrassed. Besides, exactly how many people witnessedthis "incident"? As far as engangering people's lives, exactly whose life wasendangered here? The "boys" and "girls" who work at McDonald's? Doyou not think that these young ladies and young men are old enough toknow how to cross traffic? You seem to be mostly indignant that they came after you for paymentof your bill. Just because you thought it was already paid fordoesn't give you that right. Now you should be embarrassed,but hey, we don't know you.

The online map allowed readers to zoom in on red dots that indicated which residents were licensed to own pistols or revolvers.
Blue dots indicated permit holders who "have purchased a firearm or updated the information on a permit in the past five years."
The published data outraged many gun permit holders and privacy advocates, who posted angry comments online. Some threatened to cancel their subscriptions or boycott the publication.
At the time, Hasson defended the decision.
"One of our roles is to report publicly available information on timely issues, even when unpopular. We knew publication of the database (as well as the accompanying article providing context) would be controversial, but we felt sharing information about gun permits in our area was important in the aftermath of the Newtown shootings," she said last month.
On Friday, the newspaper pledged to continue "to report aggressively" on gun ownership and will press its request for data from Putnam County and additional information from Westchester and Rockland counties once it's released publicly.
"And we will keep a snapshot of our map--with all its red dots-- on our website to remind the community that guns are a fact of life we should never forget," Hasson wrote.

Khaled Hosseini, the number-one New York Times best-selling author of The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns, has written a new novel about how we love, how we take care of one another, and how the choices we make resonate through generations.
"Does the End Justify the Means"
Thanks to paper-thin walls and the guy's athletic prowess, Carolyn is gaining an - um - intimate knowledge of her new neighbor's nocturnal adventures. And since Caroline is currently on a self-imposed "dating hiatus," and her neighbor is clearly lethally attractive to women, she finds her fantasies keep her awake even longer than the noise. So when the wallbanging threatens to literally bounce her out of bed, Caroline, clad in sexual frustration and a pink baby-doll nightie, confronts Simon Parker, her heard-but-never-seen neighbor.
"Bless my soul"
Victoria McQueen has an uncanny knack for finding things: a misplaced bracelet, a missing photograph, answers to unanswerable questions. When she rides her bicycle over the rickety old covered bridge in the woods near her house, she always emerges in the places she needs to be. Vic doesn't tell anyone about her unusual ability, because she knows no one will believe her. She has trouble understanding it herself.
"Finish to Start Excellent is Novel This"
How do you make sure a crime that hasn't happened yet, never does? That's the critical question facing Odd Thomas, the young man with a unique ability to commune with restless spirits and help them find justice and peace. But this time, it's the living who desperately need Odd on their side. Three helpless innocents will be brutally executed unless Odd can intervene in time. Who the potential victims are and where they can be found remain a mystery. The only thing Odd knows for sure is who the killer will be: the homicidal stranger who tried to shoot him dead in a small-town parking lot.
Why we think it's a great listen: The most celebrated performance in all of Audible's history, The Help has nearly 2,000 5-star reviews from your fellow listeners.

"What a great surprise!"
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Literature, Margaret Mitchell's great novel of the South is one of the most popular books ever written. Within six months of its publication in 1936, Gone With the Wind had sold a million copies. To date, it has been translated into 25 languages, and more than 28 million copies have been sold. Here are the characters that have become symbols of passion and desire....
"not to miss audible experience"
A family leaves the city for the suburbs. Hannah, the daughter, is not happy. She leaves the house after another dispute with her parents. What happens next is not what she would have wished on anyone.

Dutch settlers were the first inhabitants of the area that is now known as Long Island City. This area was the first part of Queens to be settled. The name Long Island City was created by Captain Levy Hayden in 1853. After selling a large number of shares from his Hunter's Point Marine Railway to the Beebe family of Ravenswood Captain Hayden named the area with the hope that one day all of the Hunter's Point, Astoria, and Ravenswood would be unified. The idea of a Long Island City came from these areas wanting their own self government. A public referendum was passed on February 16, 1869 by a vote of 299 for and 150 against. The city was charted as a merging of the villages of Astoria, Steinway, Ravenswood, and Hunter's Point. It borders the East River in the North and West and Newton Creek to the South.
The charter to establish Long Island City was signed on Wednesday May 4, 1870. Abraham D. Ditmars, of Astoria, was the city's first Mayor. Early problems for the new city were a lack in decent roads to travel upon. Due mainly to the financial resources and tenacity of James Thomson many of the major roads of Long Island City were completely paved by 1880. This included the complete drainage of Ravenswood swamp. Most of the inland territory of what is now Long Island City was made up mostly of marshland. The city was prosperous due to thriving community industries in oil and glass. The city quickly gained the reputation of being a commercial and industrial district. One of the most prominent families were the Steinways. The German family, headed by Patrick Henry Steinway, were responsible for many upgrades to the Long Island City community and industry. They created streetcar lines, a piano factory, and a successful amusement park called North Beach which operated from 1886 to 1920. This park was located on the spot that is now known as La Guardia Airport. Riker's Island once belonged to Long Island City until it was purchased by New York City in September 1884 for the price of $2,500.
Long Island City operated as its own separate entity outside of greater New York City. Mayor Henry S. Debevoise was arrested on a warrant by the citizens for fraud and his ineffectiveness as mayor during a tense battle with gamblers that had invaded the city in the early 1880's. Patrick Jerome Gleason won the mayoral election of 1886 and became just as notorious as Henry Debevoise. Mayor Gleason appointed himself chief officer of the Police board, Fire Department, and Board of Education while appropriating funds of over $245,000 for a school that was not completed until he was removed from office. Gleason's acts of corruption gave the once highly touted community a reputation of political crime that was looked at badly by the rest of the country. These acts of corruption led to the Consolidation Act for a Greater New York which led to Long Island City becoming a part of greater New York in 1898.
The creation of the Queensboro Bridge in 1909 opened the isolated suburb to commuters who now had quick access into and out of Manhattan. The opening of the Penn Tubes in 1910 opened Long Island to travel from the Southern section of the city. People now had accessibility to other parts of New York and the once strong economic clout of Long Island City was slowly taken away by Manhattan. Over time many immigrants from various European countries such as Italy and Iceland came to settle in Long Island City. By far the biggest ethnic group is from Greece as Long Island City boasts the largest number of Greek people outside from the country of Greece.
Today Long Island City stands as one of the most industrialized melting pots of New York City and the United States.
In 1893 a movement to establish a Free Public Library began in the Long Island City community. The first Broadway Branch was opened in 1906 on 9th Avenue. It was the sixth library unit built for the Queens Public Library system. Circulation for the first year was 36,000. Circulation grew steadily leading to several changes in location.
Children's services in particular lead to two major moves. The first move led to a Children's facility created in 1930 on Steinway Street. Children's programs became so popular that they had to be discontinued due to lack of space. The need for more room led to the opening of the library's current location on April 25, 1958. The three story building is 15,800 in square feet and is located at 40-20 Broadway in Long Island City.

Mr. President, I rise today to talk about the critically important piece of legislation currently before the Senate: the Agriculture Reform, Food, and Jobs Act. But first, I want to thank Senators Stabenow and Roberts for the great work they've done to get us to this point in the reauthorization process.
The bill as reported out of the Ag Committee saves taxpayers more than $23 billion over the next ten years and will support millions of jobs. With this bill, we are taking several important steps in making our farm support system more responsive to actual need rather than sending payments to producers no matter what they grow. We are long past due in eliminating direct payments. At the same time, we are maintaining a strong crop insurance program and creating a new system that makes assistance available to producers when they actually experience a loss.
Another important area of reform in this bill is payment limitations and ensuring that actual farmers receive payments. Senator Grassley and I have worked for years to lower the caps on our farm program payments and to direct payments to family farmers. The new Agriculture Risk Coverage program contains a cap of $50,000 and requires that program payment recipients contribute labor to the farm operation. Current law has enabled multiple farm managers in an operation to qualify for separate farm program payments with as little participation as one conference call a year. Not anymore under this bill. I am disappointed there have been amendments filed to weaken this language. I don't understand how anyone can stand before this body and justify sending federal farm program payments to people who aren't engaged in agriculture. Our country faces serious fiscal challenges, and it seems to me that limiting farm payments to real farmers is a reasonable concept. I urge my colleague to oppose efforts to weaken this language.
With this bill, we are also taking important steps to combine and streamline our conservation programs while still allowing us to continue meeting the same land, water, and wildlife goals. Additionally, this bill contains a sodsaver provision that will discourage the breaking of native sod for crop production.
One area of the bill with which I am disappointed is that it does not contain a livestock title. However, I have joined with some of my colleagues in filing amendments to give our independent livestock producers a fair shake in the marketplace. Along with Senator Grassley and others, I have worked for more than a decade to prohibit the ownership of livestock by the big meatpackers for more than 14 days prior to slaughter. Additionally, I've joined with Senator Enzi in filing an amendment to require more transparency in the use of forward contracts in the livestock markets. These are important provisions that I hope my colleagues will support.
I would also like to applaud the Committee's work on the energy and rural development titles, which strengthen our rural economies. The Rural Development water and wastewater program has been a critical funding source to help alleviate a severe water infrastructure need on the Cheyenne River Sioux Indian Reservation. I hope my colleagues will act favorably on Senator Brown's amendment that I have cosponsored to bolster this and other rural development programs.
Finally, I would like to commend efforts to address the pine beetle epidemic in the forestry title of the bill. The underlying bill does good work to increase flexibility, and I support the efforts of Senator Mark Udall and others to increase the resources we are providing to the Forest Service to address this threat to our forest health and public safety.
Mr. President, I understand that the Ag Committee leaders and Senate leadership have been making progress in their negotiations towards an agreement on a path forward. I hope that we can avoid letting a small minority of Senators hold up progress on this bill. It's time that we act, and that we give our producers certainty.

Reports on Monday claimed that Reds and Wallabies fly-half Quade Cooper has decided to quit Australian Rugby.
According to Channel Nine in Australia, Cooper is frustrated after the ARU failed to offer him a top contract as he considers an extension.
Reports suggest he was upset after only being offered match payments by the ARU, as opposed to an annual sum as part of his contract.
Cooper was suspended for three matches and given a major fine after speaking out on Twitter regarding Australia coach Robbie Deans and describing the national environment as "toxic."
He was fined Aus$40,000 ($41,000), plus a further Aus$20,000 suspended for two years, and given a suspended three-match ban for the comments.
After a code of conduct hearing Cooper apologised for his behaviour, which he admitted fell below Wallabies standards.
He has since been linked with a move either to play rugby union overseas, or to switch codes and convert to rugby league in the NRL, along with a possible shock move into the boxing ring.

Vai first stepped into the spotlight in 1980 as a guitarist in Frank Zappa's band. Vai's indelible contribution to music came during his solo career, which includes combined sales of nearly six million albums.
To celebrate Vai's success, Ibanez has released a series of guitars in his honour, the JEM7V and the JEM77V. "Ibanez used my blood - a lot of my blood - in the guitar's swirling paint job," explains Vai. "Maybe a hundred years from now, when someone decides to clone me from the blood in the paint, my clone will finally figure out how to get his music on the radio."

NIGERIA: $20 m factory for soybeans production
- Posted on Wednesday 13 July 2011 - 13:29AfricaNews Business deskNigeria-based Karma Foods Limited is establishing a $20 million factory that will take delivery of locally produced soybeans at the end of this year's harvest, and open up new marketing opportunities for Nigerian soybean farmers.The 75,000 metric tons processing capacity factory, which is located near Abuja International Airport close to Gwagwalada—about 30 minutes drive from Nigeria's capital city of Abuja—will create additional stable and sustainable demand for soybean in one of Africa's major producers.
Karma Foods plans to source 100% of its soybean demand locally, says Dipak Mirchandani, Chairman of the firm, ahead of a stakeholder conference on soybean in Makurdi on 12 July.
"We hope that this investment will help reposition soybean production in Nigeria, and more importantly, it will profit the Nigerian soybean farmer because he now not only has options to sell his products, but also can plant with a sense of security and the assurance that his produce has a committed buyer," he adds.
To meet the company's soybean demand, Karma Foods and researchers from the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture under the Tropical Legume ΙΙ project and the University of Agriculture Makurdi will be backstopping farmers in Benue state with best practices in soybean production.
"We see Benue farmers as key stakeholders in this project because the state plays a leading role in soybean production," says Mirchandani.
The company, the biggest soybean factory in Sub Saharan Africa outside of South Africa, will be creating tens of thousands of jobs along the soybean value chain, which will help reduce the level of unemployment in Nigeria in line with President Goodluck Jonathan's transformational agenda.
Dr. Alpha Kamara, IITA Systems Agronomist, says the emergence of Karma Foods will go a long way in increasing soybean production in northern Nigeria with a resultant increase in farmers' income.
He explains that IITA and partners are already promoting soybean production through the provision of high yielding improved varieties, creating awareness, promoting sustainable seed production systems (community seed schemes) and strengthening the capacities of seed companies to package and sell improved seeds.
Described as a 'miracle bean' or 'golden bean' because of its cheap protein-rich grain, soybean production in Nigeria has been stymied by unfavorable market which often times results to cyclical gluts.
Dr. Lucky Omoigui, Molecular Geneticist/Plant Breeder at the University of Agriculture Makurdi, says the new partnership between research and industry will create sustainable demand and supply for the commodity, and make the farmers proud hence they now have a very large and committed buyer who is reaching out to them.
Over the years, IITA has made substantial efforts to improve the productivity of the crop by developing high yielding, early maturing varieties capable of nodulating in association with local rhizobia, and possessing other good agronomic traits. The institute has also developed and released rust resistant soybean.

AccraThis is exactly what Africa needs. Building local factories that can buy directly from our farmers. It enables the continent to add value to our own produce and increase the earning power of our farmers. No need to rely on foreign products. I am very excited by this. Besides we don't have ot go and put our money in foreign banks that allows these already developed countries to develop their economies whilst turning round to lend us money. These are the sort of projects our political leaders need to support to help improve our economies. Way to go Nigeria! - Posted on Wednesday 16 May 2012 03:26
