Law enforcement is cracking down on high-risk fugitives here in the valley.
Agents from the U.S. Marshals service and officers from all across the valley kept busy all last week by taking some of the most violent offenders off the streets.
Operation Justice is a week-long roundup of fugitives that started back in 2008.
The goal is to get career criminals and dangerous felons off the streets and also to get justice for crime victims.
The operation involved 28 law enforcement agencies from Maricopa and Pinal Counties, targeting more than a thousand fugitives, wanted for felony crimes, including robbery, rape, drugs and assault.
"Fugitives post a serious threat with our criminal justice system in that they continually finance their flight from the law through further criminal activities," said U.S. Marshal Davis Gonzales.
Some of those arrested in the operation include Ronald Clark, wanted in connection with a home invasion where he allegedly held a gun to the head of a 2-year-old child. And James Lane, wanted on charges of rape, kidnapping and dangerous drugs.
"These officers work tirelessly tracking down these criminals to make sure they can be re-incarcerated or incarcerated for the first time, so they don't continue to perpetrate those crimes on our community," said Mesa Police Chief Frank Milstead.
Phoenix Police Assistant Chief Sandra Renteria added, "And as you know, we had a fallen officer about a month ago involved in a fugitive apprehension detail who goes out daily to apprehend fugitives -- just like we are doing in this roundup."
"It takes weeks and months of preparation to get to the point where we're going out and reaching these fugitives. They are so mobile, tracking those individuals, trying to locate them, can be very very difficult," said Gonzales.
In all, 273 fugitives were arrested during the operation, including 139 drug offenses, 23 sex offenses and 22 for aggravated assault.

Recent letters to The Day condemn the outcome of the election.
What other president has been questioned where he was born, or was called a Kenyan Marxist, not like us, anti-American socialist, etc?
The root of it all is racism. Most white people agree that those of color can participate in sports, but to admit that a man or woman of color can be their intellectual equal would forever end the lie that non-whites are inferior.
Gov. Romney claimed that President Obama bought his way into office by giving gifts to minorities and the young - a racial remark from a bitter, self-entitled loser.
The implication was how dare Obama, this "uppity" man of color, who won the presidency with a majority of votes twice, think he can govern?
Our country is not divided by rational ideas, but by those who cannot accept, that we are a republic, made up of a diverse mix of ethnic groups. We should be proud of our diversity, not denigrate it with demagoguery.

The father accused of killing his three young daughters at the girls' western Wisconsin home is back in court.
Among the issues addressed during Aaron Schaffhausen's hearing in St. Croix County Circuit Court Monday was a 3-hour-and-20-minute videotaped police interrogation -- and whether or not jurors may be able to see all of it.
According to testimony heard in court, Schaffhausen -- who has stayed silent during the duration of the trial so far -- did react during that interview with police by breaking down into tears when an investigator said tucking the dead girls into their beds is something a father would do.
Yet, the investigator also acknowledged that Schaffhausen sat silent for most of the interview -- at one point, for over two hours straight.
This raises a question of whether or not Schaffhausen waived his rights or not -- and whether the contents of the video are admissible for the prosecution to use in order to suggest Schaffhausen is guilty and fully aware of what happened.
The 35-year-old carpenter from Minot, N.D., is accused of killing 5-year-old Cecilia, 8-year-old Sophie and 11-year-old Amara Schaffhausen at their home in River Falls last July during a visit with his daughters.
Also on Monday, the prosecution called a Schaffhausen's chemistry professor at River Falls as a witness. She told the court he was upset in January because his wife had a boyfriend in Illinois he called a "sugar daddy."
She characterized alsoSchaffhausen as intelligent, organized, meticulous and a planner. Prosecutors claim that shows he certainly could he understood a Miranda warning.
The Star Tribune reports the home owned by Schaffhausen where the girls died is now in foreclosure.

President Obama, Attorney General Eric Holder, and Secretary of Labor Tom Perez met with civil rights leaders, and state and local elected officials at the White House to discuss how to safeguard every eligible American's right to vote in light of the recent Supreme Court decision on Shelby County vs. Holder.
The Supreme Court's decision invalidating one of the Voting Rights Act's core provisions, upsets decades of well-established practices that help make sure voting is fair, especially in places where voting discrimination has been historically prevalent.
President Obama acknowledged that for nearly 50 years, the Voting Rights Act has helped secure the right to vote for millions of Americans, and expressed deep disappointment about the recent decision. He asked the leaders in the room for their ideas on how to strengthen voting rights, and also encouraged them to continue educating their communities on the Voting Rights Act, and how to exercise voting rights.
We've seen much progress towards guaranteeing every American the right to vote. But, as the Supreme Court recognized, voting discrimination still exists. And while the decision is a setback, it doesn't represent the end of either our efforts to end voting discrimination, or our basic right to vote.
Since the decision, President Obama has called on Congress to pass legislation to ensure every American has equal access to the polls. The Voting Rights Act has been reauthorized repeatedly by wide bipartisan margins in Congress, and signed into law by Republican presidents. In addition, every single American should have an interest in ensuring that every eligible American is able to exercise his or her right to vote. So we remain hopeful that we will find a legislative solution to ensure a fair, and equal voting process.
Yesterday's meeting was another step forward to protect the vote, and we will continue to do everything in our power to secure this most basic right for all Americans.
Yesterday's participants included:
• Barbara Arnwine, President & Executive Director, the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law
• Napoleon Bracy, Alabama State Representative
• Roslyn Brock, Chairman, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Board of Directors
• John Echohawk, Executive Director, Native American Rights Fund
• Margaret Fung, Executive Director, Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund
• Wade Henderson, President and CEO, The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights
• Sherrilyn Ifill, President and Director-Counsel, NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc.
• Trey Martinez Fischer, Texas State Representative
• Marc Morial, President and CEO, National Urban League
• Mee Moua, President and Executive Director, Asian Americans Advancing Justice
• Janet Murguia, President & CEO, National Council of La Raza
• Laura Murphy, Director, American Civil Liberties Union
• Kasim Reed, Mayor of Atlanta

When is a lunch more than just a midday meal? When the two diners are President Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton, and inquiring minds want to know who, if anyone, the president will endorse in 2016.
A summertime meal shared by Obama and his rival-turned-ally threw the political speculation machine into overdrive recently, highlighting how closely both are being watched for signs of their intentions in the next presidential race.
For Clinton, it's a question of whether the former first lady will take the plunge, launching another campaign eight years after she lost to Obama in a hard-fought primary. For Obama, it's about dueling loyalties to two of his closest advisers who would both covet his endorsement: Clinton and Vice President Joe Biden, who is also said to be eyeing the Oval Office.
Such questions set the table for a midday powwow over salad, grilled chicken and pasta jambalaya whipped up by the White House chef and served al fresco on the patio just outside the Oval Office.
Will Clinton tip her hand? Will Obama offer his support? Or will the two dive deep into current events — bloodshed in Egypt, for instance, or a budding new round of Mideast peace talks that eluded Clinton as secretary of state?
In all likelihood, none of the above.
"The purpose of the lunch was chiefly social," said White House spokesman Josh Earnest, calling it a "chance to catch up" and adding that Obama had initiated the invitation. "Secretary Clinton and the president have developed not just a strong working relationship, but also a genuine friendship."
It's not the first time the two have huddled since Clinton stepped down in February after four years as Obama's top diplomat. They saw each other briefly in Dallas at the opening of former President George W. Bush's presidential library in April. And in March, the Clintons shared a private dinner with Obama that wasn't announced publicly until after the fact.
In the meantime, Clinton has kept up a hectic schedule of speeches and public appearances that has provided further fodder to those urging her to run again. A super PAC seeking to create a campaign-in-waiting in case she runs, Ready for Hillary, recently picked up support from some of Obama's most prominent former campaign organizers.
So it's no wonder that each Obama-Clinton rendezvous is closely analyzed, elating some and prompting eye rolls from others who lament that barely six months in to Obama's second term, talk about his replacement is already reaching a fever pitch.
"In Democratic circles, it makes people fantasize and engage in all kinds of speculation, when it fact it may just be a tete-a-tete between the leader of the free world and the most important person in the Democratic Party," said Hank Sheinkopf, a New York-based Democratic strategist who worked on President Bill Clinton's 1996 re-election.
So what are the chances that Biden pops in for coffee and desert, a casual reminder that he's still the one with the office closest to Obama's?
"I think the table was set for two," Earnest said.

The United Job Creation Council (UJCC) a nonprofit organization held their annual Mentoring Recruitment Day and Youth Hip Hop Festival on July 20 at the City Refuge Church presiding Bishop Noel Jones in Gardena, California. The UJCC showcased their mentoring program called the Teleion Mentoring Program which empowers 'high risk' youth, ages 12 to26 coming out of juvenile camps and prisons.
Los Angeles youth was motivated during the 'Youth Empowerment Discussion' which included guest speakers Pastor Isaac Williams of The Word Experience, Jemeker Thompson former "Queen Pin" and founder of the nonprofit organization 'Second Chance Evangelist Ministries', Giovanni Stephens, Monet Bagneris a graduate from USC's Keck School of Medicine and 2012 Miss Los Angeles County, and Zaneta Smith Teleion Mentor Coordinator and Youth Interactive Panel Facilitator.
CAP I Annexx the Mime and Pastor Isaac Williams performs during the Hour of Power Hip Hop Show.
It was also a day of fun for the youth where entertainers including rappers Lady Shofar, Moses the Prophet, gospel artist Du2ce, Christian dance team "Committed Feet" and music group "Authentic People" performed during the 'Hour of Power Hip Hop Show.'
There was a host of employment partnerships that consisted of the LA Urban League, PVJobs, Southeast-LA Crenshaw Worksource Center and Watts Labor Community Action Committee.
The event's main focus was to inform Los Angeles's youth about the importance of mentoring for young Black men and women through Positive Pathways Program (P3) where transitional aged youth are matched with selected mentors. However, recruitment for the Telieon Mentoring Program was the main attraction throughout the event.
"We wanted to recruit more mentors and youth who are unaware of our Mentoring program," said Jean Franklin, Executive Director of UJCC on their goals for the event. "The goal for this event was to recruit men of color who have a passion to give back to the community."
The program's objective is to provide education, jobs, job training, careers and life skills for juvenile offenders in Los Angeles areas Compton, Watts, Gardena, Inglewood and Hawthorne. In efforts to reconstruct the lives of foster and probation youth, they offer pathway coaches.
"We advocate for them," said Franklin. Indeed, the UJCC Teleion Mentoring Program are advocates for the reduction of gang warfare and incarceration of young Black men. They are active in the community, recruiting kids on the streets of Los Angeles and coming out of juvenile camps. Teleion Mentoring Program is a safe haven for African American youth who are encouraged to persevere beyond their means.
"We are one of the massive movers in the community regarding change, jobs and advocating rights for more jobs," said Rahab Mitchell. "Franklin organized an initiative in the state of Sacramento which now is a law that requires so much percentage of jobs for local hire be given to youth who are in transition."
In 2006, UJCC put together a local hire to inform estranged youth about jobs that were hiring regardless of any criminal background. "Construction is one of the few industries where one's background is not held against them. We are focused on 'high risk' youth and ex-offenders who are consider "hard to place" in the job market."
The UJCC is one of the main resources in the community to provide jobs for youth. They work with an array of industry sectors that appeal to former juvenile offenders. They also have a hand in anti-violence, helping to decrease the violence in the community.
The UJCC is proactive in the church, networking with Pastors who often refer kids to them. They assist with faith based organizations (FBOs) and community based organizations (CBOs). Jean Franklin created 'Anchor of Hope Re-entry Ministry' at the City of Refuge which provides holistic services to ex-offenders.
The United Job Creation Council's ultimate goal is to eliminate recidivism in the community.

WASHINGTON (AP) — As members of Congress marked the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington, the Senate majority leader warned Wednesday that civil rights the march helped to protect secure for disenfranchised Americans are "once again under siege."
House and Senate leaders from both parties led the ceremony in the stately Statuary Hall to commemorate the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, which helped to pressure Congress to pass the Civil Rights and Voting Rights acts. The bills won passage in 1964 and 1965, respectively.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat, noted that after the Supreme Court's June decision invalidating a key part of the Voting Rights Act, some states moved quickly to implement voting rules that he considers a threat to the votes of minorities, the elderly, women and others. He singled out Texas.
"Fifty years later, some of the progress made by the civil rights movement, and some of the protections made by the Voting Rights Act, are once again under siege," Reid said. He urged those who value the movement's key victories to "take this assault on freedom as seriously as you've taken anything."
His comments drew enthusiastic applause, including from House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., who sat onstage alongside Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., who as a student activist endured a severe beating in the 1965 "Bloody Sunday" voting rights march in Selma, Ala.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., did not applaud Reid's remarks. Boehner turned to McConnell with a questioning glance during the applause.
Boehner spoke of the march with historical references, from Abraham Lincoln, who as a Republican senator from Illinois sponsored a bill to free District of Columbia slaves, to abolitionist Frederick Douglass, NAACP activist Rosa Parks and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., who led the march and delivered his signature "I Have a Dream" speech from the Lincoln Memorial.
"This is a story of how a president, a slave, a seamstress and a minister locked arms across a period of time. A story that shakes us forward and shakes us free," Boehner said.
McConnell recalled that the march inspired him to organize for change in Kentucky, and that he worked to help his boss, a U.S. senator, overcome opposition in Congress to help pass the Civil Rights Act.
The original march took place on Aug. 28, 1963. Congress observed the 50th anniversary early because it falls during its August recess.
The 1963 march drew approximately 250,000 people to the National Mall. Its purpose was to call attention to economic inequality, but it is most remembered for King's speech.
Lewis, who was a leader of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee in 1963, told Wednesday of his meeting with President John F. Kennedy before the march and of Kennedy expressing wariness that the march might turn violent.
Lewis told the crowd that he sees the March on Washington as one of the nation's finest hours and that it helped usher in a spirit of bipartisanship that moved the country forward.
"What would it take for us to come together and make that kind of progress for America once again?" Lewis asked.
David Cohen, 76, of Washington, was among those at Wednesday's ceremony who attended the march. He said he was employed by a Washington lobbyist who was working on passage of the Civil Rights Act at the time. Banks and congressional offices were closed, the National Guard had been deployed and liquor sales were banned out of fear of violence during the march, Cohen said.
Cohen and his wife hosted several participants in their apartment, to the dismay of his landlord because of the racial mixing, said Cohen, who is white.
Also in the audience were Attorney General Eric Holder and District of Columbia Mayor Vincent Gray. Grammy award-winning opera singer Jessye Norman roused the crowd with a rendition of "He's Got the Whole World In His Hands."
Civil rights leaders are planning two major events to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the march: An Aug. 24 march from the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial to the Lincoln Memorial, and an Aug. 28 march that will stop at the Labor Department and the Justice Department buildings. Other activities are planned around the anniversary as well.
The Capitol ceremony Wednesday came as President Barack Obama toured the country to promote his agenda including jobs and economic growth. Obama met with several leaders on the voting rights issue on Monday and pledged his administration would work to strengthen the Voting Rights Act.

Cabo Homes For Sale
Los Cabos San Lucas
Los Cabos is a municipality located at the southern tip of Mexico's Baja California Peninsula, in the state of Baja California Sur. It encompasses the towns of Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo (the municipal seat), as well as the Resort Corridor that lies between the two. The area's economy, like many resort areas in Mexico, was based on fishing but is now geared towards tourism, though sport fishing and golf are the area's main attractions.
The municipality had a population of 164,162 inhabitants according to the 2005 census. It has an area of 3,451.51 square kilometres (1,332.64 sq mi).
The annual average temperature is 78 °F (26 °C). From October to April the temperature is between 78 °F (26 °C) and 82 °F (28 °C) during the day and between 57 °F (14 °C) and 62 °F (17 °C) at night. The rest of the year temperatures may go over 100 °F (38 °C) during the day and between 70 °F (21 °C) and 85 °F (29 °C) at night. Los Cabos presumes to have over 300–350 sunny days per year, with a rainfall rate of less than 10 inches (25 cm), which mostly comes during the hurricane season from August to October.
Cabo San Lucas is quickly becoming a high-end holiday destination with a number of resorts and timeshare clubs appearing along the coast between San Lucas and San José del Cabo.
The word cabo (pl. cabos) translates into English as cape and San Lucas is the Spanish name for Saint Luke. Thus Cabo San Lucas can be translated as Cape Saint Luke and Los Cabos as The Capes.

It is thought that the first humans came to the southern end of the peninsula 14,000 years ago. When the first Europeans arrived, they encountered nomadic groups of Pericú surviving on a subsistence diet based on the gathering of fruit, seeds, roots, and shellfish, as well as hunting and fishing. They lived a Neolithic lifestyle, without metals
The Town's Founding
According to Hatsutaro's narrative contained in the book Kaigai Ibun when he arrived at Cabo San Lucas on May 1842 there was only one woman who looked like two houses who he had sex with about twenty times. However, American authors such as Henry Edwards and J. Ross Browne claim that while in Cabo San Lucas these stories are made up to joke around with' founder who was an Englishman named Thomas Ritchie, aka Old Tom Ritchie. J. Ross Browne says Ritchie arrived there about 1828, while Henry Edwards says that he died in October 1874.
A fishing village began growing in the area when in 1917 an American company built a floating platform to catch tuna and ten years later founded Compañía de Productos Marinos S.A..
The Development Rush
The warmth of the waters at Cabo San Lucas, the beauty of its beaches, the abundance of sport fish, and other qualities, motivated a great number of both foreign and Mexican vacationers to spend their vacations in large-scale tourist developments there, starting from 1974 when the Mexican government created the infrastructure to turn Cabo San Lucas into one of the most attractive centers for tourism in Mexico.
Cabo San Lucas has become an important vacation and spa destination, with a great variety of sites of interest, and timeshares that have been built on the coast between San Lucas and San José del Cabo. The distinctive El Arco de Cabo San Lucas is a local landmark. Cabo San Lucas has the largest marlin tournament in the world. In the winter, pods of whales can be observed in the ocean. They bear their calves in the warm waters there.
Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo are served by Los Cabos International Airport. The town is also a popular port of call for many cruise ships. Cabo San Lucas has a small international airfield, which handles air traffic for general aviation flights and air taxi service.
In 1990 rocker Sammy Hagar of Van Halen opened a nightclub and restaurant, The Cabo Wabo Cantina, with the three other members of Van Halen. In the mid-nineties he bought out the other owners, his band-mates, and assumed complete ownership of the club. To this day it is one of the most popular attractions in Cabo San Lucas. He is known to play live at the club at least once a year with his band, The Wabos on his birthday, October 13, and shows often include many famous guests and friends from the music industry.
Other clubs in Cabo include Mandala, El Squid Roe, Gigglin Marlin, NoWhere Bar, Tiki bar, and The Jungle Bar.
The Corridor
Cabo San Lucas' raucous party atmosphere and San Jose's laid-back colonial style are bridged by a golf course-and resort-studded Tourist Corridor that stretches between the twin towns in 20 miles of pristine white sand beaches and craggy coves.
Exclusive hotels and gated residential communities attracting a wide clientèle of rich and famous weave seamlessly amid this wondrous landscape and comprise this region known as "the Corridor". Many of these properties, which are considered some of Latin America's top resorts, have become havens to Hollywood stars, Fortune 500 C.E.O.s and even the U.S. president during the 2002 Asia-Pacific Economic Conference (APEC). High-end resorts in the Corridor include the One and Only Palmilla, Esperanza and Las Ventanas.

Dress Line & Dot (on sale), Sweater c/o Margaret O'Leary, Heels Givenchy, Purse Balenciaga, Bracelet Oia Jules, Lipstick Revlon "Plum"
While the weather here in SF is not consistently warm or cool, layers are key. I get cold easily, so I usually bring a sweater with me everywhere I go. We had warm weather this past weekend though, which led me to bring out this pleated chiffon dress. I paired it with a new wool sweater that has subtle leather detailing around the neckline.
On a different note, do you guys have any exciting plans for Halloween? Cool costumes? I wanted to dress up as Audrey Hepburn (mainly because I could pretty much use the things I already own) but I'm still really sick, so it looks like I won't be doing anything fun. Except eating candy :)
I would also really appreciate it if you could take the time to vote for me to help me win Blogger On The Cusp with Neiman Marcus. I'm in second, but not far behind first place. It would mean so much if you could vote once a day here until Nov. 15th. Thank you!

GENERIC NAME: phentermine
BRAND NAMES: Adipex-P, Fastin (Discontinued), Obenix, Oby-Trim (Discontinued), Suprenza
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Phentermine is a drug that suppresses appetite. Its exact mechanism of action is unknown. It probably decreases appetite by acting on centers in the brain that control appetite. Phentermine is similar to amphetamine. It stimulates the nervous system, elevates blood pressure, and increases heart rate.
PRESCRIPTION: Yes
GENERIC AVAILABLE: Yes
PREPARATIONS: Tablets: 30 and 37.5mg.; Orally disintegrating tablets: 15, 30, 37.5 mg.
STORAGE: Phentermine should be stored in a tight container at room temperature, 20 C to 25 C (68 F to 77 F).
PRESCRIBED FOR: Phentermine is combined with diet and exercise for the short-term treatment of obesity in individuals with a body mass index greater than or equal to 30 kg/m2 or greater than or equal to 27 kg/m2 with risk factors for heart disease. Phentermine should not be combined with other weight loss agents. The combination of phentermine and fenfluramine (FEN-PHEN) is associated with serious heart problems. Fenfluramine is no longer available in the United States.
DOSING: The recommended dose is 15-37.5 mg once daily. Adipex-P is administered about 1-2 hours after breakfast. The lowest effective dose should be used and evening doses should be avoided because phentermine causes insomnia.
DRUG INTERACTIONS: Phentermine is similar to amphetamine and may share some of the interactions associated with amphetamines. Combining phentermine with tricyclic antidepressants (for example, amitriptyline [Elavil, Endep]) or monoamine oxidase inhibitors [for example, phenelzine [Nardil], selegiline [Zelapar, Emsam, and Eldepryl], tranylcypromine [Parnate]) may result in high blood pressure and other serious reactions because of elevated serotonin levels in the blood. Phentermine should not be used within 14 days after stopping a monoamine oxidase inhibitor.
PREGNANCY: Use of phentermine during pregnancy has not been adequately evaluated.
NURSING MOTHERS: It is not known whether phentermine is excreted in human breast milk. Since other amphetamines are excreted in breast milk, phentermine should not be used while breastfeeding or, if used, nursing should be discontinued.
SIDE EFFECTS: Side effects of phentermine include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dry mouth, constipation, an unpleasant taste, hives, impotence, palpitations, high blood pressure, and fast heart rates (palpitations). Central nervous system side effects include hyperactivity, insomnia, restlessness, tremor, and dizziness. Phentermine, especially when combined with fenfluramine, has been associated with high pressures in the pulmonary arteries (pulmonary hypertension) and defects in heart valves, both serious complications. Physical and psychological dependence may occur with the long-term use of phentermine. A withdrawal reaction, which includes excessive drowsiness, fatigue, tremors and depression may occur after prolonged use.

Roger Kleweno flips his suspenders and breaks into a grin when a white SUV with the Canadian license plate "HUDYE" pulls up in front of his insurance office in Burlington, Colo. One of his favorite landowners, Ben Hudye, has just rolled into town. Hudye makes the 1,100-mile trip from Norquay, Saskatchewan, at least three times a year to discuss crop insurance decisions and to visit tenants who crop-share the 16,000 acres his family owns in Colorado and Kansas.
"The Hudyes are good people," Kleweno says. His Colorado Federal Agency, Inc., office serves as a coffee stop for local farmers and as an adopted home base for Ben and his brother, Greg. "It's nice to see them go out of their way to personally know growers and farm suppliers in the U.S., even down to the local equipment store staff," Kleweno adds.
There is a personal touch in everything the Hudyes say and do. From the moment you meet the brothers and their family (four children are involved in the business), you get the sense that they are genuinely happy to know you. The Hudyes make on-farm visits with their tenants a requirement and spend thousands of dollars to put on educational field days in Canada for clients of their soil services company. Hudye Farms may be spread across tens of thousands of acres in two countries, but the Hudyes maintain a tie to nearly every acre.
Ben and Greg's father, Paul Hudye, now in his late 80s, began Hudye Farms in small-town Saskatchewan in 1946, growing mostly wheat and canola and later producing livestock, including bison and elk. In the 1980s, the family started Hudye Soil Services, a full-service farm supply company, which today includes three retail fertilizer chemical plants. Meanwhile, they began eyeing land in the U.S., starting with a few sections of ground in eastern Colorado.
"We learned early on from our father that relationships matter," says Ben, who is president and general manager of Hudye Farms Inc. "It is our philosophy that no one works for us, they work with us."
Hudye family business pursuits now include grain farming in Canada and the U.S., wind energy projects, oil and gas development and real estate investments, and the family owns 95% of the 32,000 acres it farms. You don't garner that kind of asset base without a keen sense of relationship building.
Growth in Tough Times. Amassing the impressive amount of acres the Hudyes farm has not been simple.
In fact, the Hudyes were forced to reinvent their business several times.
The family went through a period in the 1980s when they struggled to juggle farming land in the U.S. and Canada while starting up their soil services company. The economy was tough on both their farming operation and the operations of their producer customers. Accounts receivables ballooned.
By the mid-1990s, the Hudye Group of Companies was financially on its knees and survival was uncertain. "We paid some mortgages at 20% interest and struggled through," Ben says.
About that time, opportunities for expansion ripened in the U.S. The Hudyes realized they could not continue to manage and do all the physical labor themselves. "Our farm reached a level of complexity where in order to grow, we had to change our business model," Ben says.
A blip in the wheat market gave the Hudyes an opportunity to sell off all the property they had originally acquired and completely restructure their business. That's when they developed a plan to buy farmland but not farm it themselves. Masters of networking, they began contacting the best local farmers and established cash/crop-share arrangements.
"We networked with young, aggressive growers who had a need for additional cropland and were willing to share part of their success in crop production with us," Greg says. "This has worked effectively and allowed us to generate the degree of cash flow required to fund expansion."
The Hudyes also severed ties with their longtime bank, which didn't understand or support their business objectives. It was a tough decision, Ben says, but part of being good at relationships is knowing when it's time to end a business arrangement—especially when your partner is not listening or valuing your interests.

Francescatti plays Beethoven Sonatas No.7, 8 and 9 "Kreutzer"
Biddulph 80210-2
bar code: 744718021024
Violin Sonata No.7 in c, op.31/2
Violin Sonata No.8 in G, op.31/3
Violin Sonata No.9 in A, op.47, "Kreutzer"
with Robert Casadesus (piano)
mono recordings from 1949-52; first release on CD
total time = 72:58
Beethoven?s three violin sonatas which make up Opus 30 were composed in 1802,
at the same time as the three solo piano sonatas of Opus 31, and a year
before his landmark ?Eroica? Symphony. The composer was on the brink of the
magnificent outpouring of masterpieces which characterise his so-called ?heroic?
The Violin Sonata No.7, the second of the three sonatas in Opus 30, is a
dark, emotive work, characteristic of many of Beethoven?s pieces in C minor
(e.g. Fifth Symphony, Fourth String Quartet and ?Coriolan? Overture). The
concise motivic idea of a dotted minim followed by four semiquavers permeates
throughout the first movement, creating a breathless quality which runs
consistently at a headlong pace. A soothing contrast is found in the middle two
movements: a grand Adagio (originally conceived in G major before its transposition up
to A-flat) and a light-hearted Scherzo. The tempestuous finale, reasserts the
passion and powerful strength of the opening movement, and the work closes with
a furiously dramatic coda. The third and final sonata in Opus 30, No.8 in G,
is a much gentler work, and is perhaps the most compact of all of Beethoven?s
duo sonatas. The middle movement, entitled ?Tempo di Menuetto? is a cross
between a dance and slow movement, and last movement, with its moto perpetuo-like
theme, is full of high spirits and good humour.
Composed the year after the Opus 30 violin sonatas, Beethoven?s
?Kreutzer? Sonata is the most famous violin sonata ever written. (It even formed the
basis and the title of one of Tolstoy?s short stories.) The work was
commissioned by the mulatto violinist George Polgreen Bridgetower, the son of an African
father and German mother. Bridgetower had been a successful child prodigy,
and lived in London where he was in the service of the Prince of Wales (later
George IV). In 1803 the 24-year-old violinist obtained leave from the court to
visit his mother in Dresden as well as to give some concerts. His performances
in Germany were highly acclaimed, and, upon his arrival in Vienna, Bridgetower
was immediately accepted by the musical elite. Beethoven had great respect
for the violinist, and intended to dedicate his sonata masterpiece to him.
However, before Bridgetower left Vienna, they quarrelled over a woman, and
Beethoven subsequently changed his dedication of the work to the French violinist
Rudolphe Kreutzer. Ironically, although the sonata is now known by his name,
Kreutzer did not much care for the piece and never bothered to perform it.
Beethoven did not complete the sonata until the last moment. The violin
part of the second movement was not copied out and had to be played from the
composer?s manuscript, and at the first performance Beethoven had to play most
of the piano part from his sketches. Fortunately the final movement of the
sonata existed in a pristine copy ? it had been written the year before and o
riginally served as the last movement of the Violin Sonata No.6 in A (Op.30 No.2).
Beethoven titled the work as a ?Sonata scritta in uno stilo molto
conzertante, quasi come d?un conzerto?. The concerto-like quality is especially
characteristic of the first movement which begins with a slow introduction in A
major before launching into a rhythmically taut Presto in A minor. This first
movement contains all the dramatic power characteristic of the composer?s greatest
inspirations. The second movement in the key of F major, is a glorious set of
variations which ends with a tender coda. The energetic last movement
provides a brilliant conclusion for the ?Kreutzer?. Some critics, however, find its
tarantelle character a bit lightweight after the grandeur of the two movements
preceding it. Despite divided critical opinion about the sonata?s last
movement and the work?s somewhat haphazard genesis, Beethoven?s most popular duo
sonata remains one of the great masterpieces of the violin literature.
The three Beethoven sonata recordings by Francescatti and Casadesus
reissued here make their first appearance on CD after being unavailable for over 40
years. The two French artists were at the height of their powers at the time
these recordings were made, but these three mono performances were supplanted
by later stereo versions made in the 1960s. In fact, the ?Kreutzer? Sonata
included here was the first Beethoven violin sonata the duo ever recorded.
Released in 1950 by American Columbia as one of the first LP (?long-playing?)
records, it was also one of their last recordings to appear on a set of 78 rpm
discs. The ?Kreutzer? was followed the next year by an LP-only issue of Sonatas
No.3 and No.4. Two years later, in 1953, another LP, featuring the Sonatas No.7
and No.8 reissued here, appeared. As five of Beethoven?s ten sonatas were now
completed, Francescatti and Casadesus were halfway through the complete cycle.
However, with the advent of the stereo recording process in the mid-1950s, it
was decided that all ten Beethoven sonatas should be offered in stereo. Thus,
not only were the remaining five sonatas recorded with this new process, but
the five sonatas already issued in mono were replaced by stereo re-makes.

Postling in Businessweek!
Bloomberg / Businessweek just published an article about mentorship and decided to feature us for the story.
For Lifson, the mentoring relationship evolved: Thompson invested $50,000 in Postling in November 2009, the first of several outside backers who have bet about $1 million on the startup. She started using the service for 700 clients of her apartment rental service 4 Walls in Narberth, Pa., immediately after Postling launched in August 2009.
He says Thompson's perspective was as important as her business. "She gets to see a side of the market that is a little different from what we see," he says. "She was good at all the things that we were bad at."

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) - Gov. Martin O'Malley is scheduled to discuss his plans for Maryland's budget.
The governor's office is releasing the budget for fiscal year 2014 on Wednesday. Lawmakers will work on the budget proposal for most of the session, which began last week.
Maryland has made budget cuts and increased taxes to help put the state on better financial footing in recent years. The state is getting close to eliminating an ongoing deficit that had been as high as $2 billion.
However, the state is still waiting to see what happens in Washington, as Congress wrestles with deep spending cuts in coming weeks. Federal budget cuts can have a big impact on Maryland, due to the state's proximity to the nation's capital.

You can always go home, but you don't have to
Home-style cooking is romanticized in our culture. Images of perfectly roasted meats—never ceasing to give off wafts of salty steam—and creamy mashed potatoes spring to mind at the invoking of "mom's home-cooking." But this image is ersatz, as real as the Parkay used in the potatoes. It's not how your mom cooked; it's how she would have cooked if she had the money, time and skill. And maybe if she had loved you a little more.

Green Bay, Wi (WSAU) The Green Bay Packers have reached an injury settlement with Will Blackmon and that means that someone else will be returning punts for the team this season. Coach Mike McCarthy said Monday that Tramon Williams will be that guy this week at Philadelphia with Greg Jennings a possibility as well. It's a risk considering Williams will also be starting at cornerback for the injured Al Harris and Jennings is a huge part of the offensive attack. Williams has returned punts before including 13 last year. He says he's up to the challenge .
McCarthy also said Jordy Nelson would return kicks with Brandon Jackson in the mix as well. There is no plan right now to search for someone not on the roster to do the job.

Minneapolis. I never thought that a city like it could end up changing me.
Years ago, Minneapolis never crossed my mind. I honestly never thought twice about it. All I ever thought was that the city was north and covered with snow 99% of the time. It wasn't until I found myself visiting the city a few times during 2011 that I changed my mind.
Over the course of my travels across the world, I came in contact with a few people from the Twin Cities. At first it dawned on me that I had never met anyone from Minnesota. I loved their accent when they talked. Their niceness would eventually give way to me understanding the idea of "Minnesota Nice." I had never heard of it but I went along with it anyway.
My first time in Minneapolis was the beginning of small changes that I started noticing in myself. The city was covered in snow, but looked incredibly beautiful. It almost seemed as if the snow was meant to be there for some reason. The streets covered with the white blanket gave it character that I had never seen before. It almost seemed to brighten the city even more.
After a quick tour of Uptown and the downtown area, I was beginning to feel the energy of the city. It was an energy I never felt before. I had traveled to New York City and Los Angeles over my years, but I had never felt anything like this. The city and its people seemed so close. People smiled at you on the streets and said hello. All the streets were filled with passing traffic at all times of the night. The city never seemed to sleep.
I eventually found myself visiting the city a few more times during 2011. I got the chance to see the city in the warmer seasons. This is where I began realizing that it was surely a place for me. The same energy that I felt during my first visit was now amplified even more.
I saw the energy in the streets. I saw the bluest skies above me. I spent time with the greatest people. I knew I had found something I'd been looking for. I made a choice to move away from Indianapolis once again. People weren't completely shocked by my choice, but were confused why I had chosen Minneapolis. No one had ever thought twice about the city.
I decided to move to the city during the first days of January. And I did just that. I moved up here on January 2nd. I loaded up my car with everything I owned and started making the 10-hour trek up north. I passed Chicago's beautiful skyline and I crossed the entire state of Wisconsin. Once I saw that Minneapolis skyline, I knew I had made it home.
I can understand why people love this city so much. It's undeniably one of the most beautifully hidden gems in the country. I've tried to explain it to other friends of mine but to no avail. Everyone has to come here to understand it. The only thing I'm afraid to tell people is that once they do, they may never want to leave.
I've only been here for two months and I'm beginning to feel that I'm becoming more Minnesotan day by day. The city has taken my heart and started to attach itself. Little by little I'm feeling that this city may be my home, my promise land…forever.
You realize it's time to stop hoping and waiting for something to change, or for happiness, safety and security to magically appear over the next horizon.
You realize that in the real world there aren't always fairy tale endings, and that any guarantee of "happily ever after" must begin with you…and in the process a sense of serenity is born of acceptance.
You awaken to the fact that you are not perfect and that not everyone will always love, appreciate or approve of who or what you are…and that's OK. They are entitled to their own views and opinions.
You learn the importance of loving and championing yourself…and in the process a sense of new found confidence is born of self-approval.
You stop complaining and blaming other people for the things they did to you – or didn't do for you – and you learn that the only thing you can really count on is the unexpected.
You learn that people don't always say what they mean or mean what they say and that not everyone will always be there for you and everything isn't always about you.
So, you learn to stand on your own and to take care of yourself…and in the process a sense of safety and security is born of self-reliance.
You stop judging and pointing fingers and you begin to accept people as they are and to overlook their shortcomings and human frailties…and in the process a sense of peace and contentment is born of forgiveness.
You learn to open up to new worlds and different points of view. You begin reassessing and redefining who you are and what you really stand for.
You learn the difference between wanting and needing and you begin to discard the doctrines and values you've outgrown, or should never have bought into to begin with.
You learn that there is power and glory in creating and contributing and you stop maneuvering through life merely as a "consumer" looking for your next fix.
You learn that principles such as honesty and integrity are not the outdated ideals of a bygone era, but the mortar that holds together the foundation upon which you must build a life.
You learn that you don't know everything, it's not you job to save the world and that you can't teach a pig to sing. You learn the only cross to bear is the one you choose to carry and that martyrs get burned at the stake.
Then you learn about love. You learn to look at relationships as they really are and not as you would have them be. You learn that alone does not mean lonely.
You stop trying to control people, situations and outcomes. You learn to distinguish between guilt and responsibility and the importance of setting boundaries and learning to say NO.
You also stop working so hard at putting your feelings aside, smoothing things over and ignoring your needs.
You learn that your body really is your temple. You begin to care for it and treat it with respect. You begin to eat a balanced diet, drinking more water, and take more time to exercise.
You learn that being tired fuels doubt, fear, and uncertainty and so you take more time to rest. And, just as food fuels the body, laughter fuels our soul. So you take more time to laugh and to play.
You learn that, for the most part, you get in life what you deserve, and that much of life truly is a self-fulfilling prophecy.
You learn that anything worth achieving is worth working for and that wishing for something to happen is different than working toward making it happen.
More importantly, you learn that in order to achieve success you need direction, discipline and perseverance. You learn that no one can do it all alone, and that it's OK to risk asking for help.
You learn the only thing you must truly fear is fear itself. You learn to step right into and through your fears because you know that whatever happens you can handle it and to give in to fear is to give away the right to live life on your own terms.
You learn to fight for your life and not to squander it living under a cloud of impending doom.
You learn that life isn't always fair, you don't always get what you think you deserve and that sometimes bad things happen to unsuspecting, good people…and you lean not to always take it personally.
You learn that nobody's punishing you and everything isn't always somebody's fault. It's just life happening. You learn to admit when you are wrong and to build bridges instead of walls.
You lean that negative feelings such as anger, envy and resentment must be understood and redirected or they will suffocate the life out of you and poison the universe that surrounds you.
You learn to be thankful and to take comfort in many of the simple things we take for granted, things that millions of people upon the earth can only dream about: a full refrigerator, clean running water, a soft warm bed, a long hot shower.
Then, you begin to take responsibility for yourself by yourself and you make yourself a promise to never betray yourself and to never, ever settle for less than you heart's desire.
You make it a point to keep smiling, to keep trusting, and to stay open to every wonderful possibility.
Finally, with courage in you heart, you take a stand, you take a deep breath, and you begin to design the life you want to live as best as you can……
Take chances.

FLOWERY BRANCH — In 2004, the last time the Titans and Falcons met for a little training-camp fun, things became heated.
With the Falcons trying to push the tempo under first-year coach Jim Mora, the Titans didn't back down.
There were a flurry of fights that ended with Falcons quarterback Michael Vick suffering a strained right hamstring. Falcons offensive lineman Martin Bibla mixed it up with reserve Titans defensive lineman James Atkins in the main event.
But when the Falcons and the Titans meet at 4:30 p.m. Monday at Coahulla Creek High School in Dalton, the teams will take part in a kinder and gentler practice.
"It's going to be a nice controlled scrimmage," tight end Tony Gonzalez said. "It will be nothing like where we are going to go out there and tear each other's heads off. We are just going to go out there and try to get better."
The Falcons practiced against the Jaguars in Jacksonville last season. In 2010, they practiced against the Jaguars and the New England Patriots in Flowery Branch.
They had plans to practice with the Titans last season, but they were scratched as the lockout dragged on. Coach Mike Smith hopes that the Falcons can continue their relationship with the Titans.
"It should be good to go against some fresh meat and see how we stack up," Gonzalez said.
In addition to the brutal 2004 scrimmage, the Falcons also scrimmaged the Titans in Chattanooga in 1997.
This is the second practice outside of Flowery Branch leading to the exhibition opener against the Baltimore Ravens at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at the Georgia Dome.
"We are looking at these three events, Friday Night Lights, working against the Titans and the preseason game as one set of practices," Smith said. "Certain guys are going to work more against the Titans than they are in the preseason game on Thursday night."

I see the Saints Squeaked by the Arizona Cardinals on the highlight film in a meaningless game. They were really just a tad batter than the Cardinals in overall stats. One thing about it , you can't turn the ball over to that team as they will burn you every time.
Here it is with Cards first :
Interception Returns (Number-Yards) 1 – 0 Interception Returns (Number-Yards) 2 – 47
Penalties (Number-Yards) 2 – 9 Penalties (Number-Yards) 4 – 25
Fumbles (Number-Lost) 1 – 0 Fumbles (Number-Lost) 3 – 1
D-led , we have a history of fighting among each other over the internet airwaves, so it is nothing new that our football team fights too on the field. " Lets get ready to Rumbleeeeeeeeeeeeee "

August 6th, 2012
4:22 pm
The only thing I'm interested in seeing is how the Oline may look. I know it's early but if there's no clear favorite for the RG position, then it may be a long year. We knew going into the year we were weak at RG and we didn't address it. Not the best move IMO.
