Economic Trends
Younger Workers and Summertime Employment
Each year before summer begins, a substantial number of high school and college students enters the labor market, as they look for temporary or permanent employment. Many of them do in fact find a job. This year, the number of employed workers between the ages of 16 and 24 increased 2.3 million from April to July, according to a recent report by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
In addition to the workers in this age group who found jobs, there were others who were looking but didn't find one—the sum of these two being the total youth labor force. The size of this labor force increased over the period as well, from 21.4 million to 24.3 million. As a result, the labor force participation rate for this age group rose from April to July as well, from 57.4 percent to 65 percent.
The summertime employment of younger workers typically peaks around July, and this year was no different. The bulk of the increase occurred in June—almost 70 percent of the additional 2.3 million young workers entered the employment pool in June alone.
The industry employing the greatest percentage of these young workers in July 2007 was leisure and hospitality (22 percent). Retail trade was second in terms of industries employing workers in this age group (close to 20 percent). Youths employed in other industries—education and health services, professional and business services, government, construction, and manufacturing—totaled nearly 40 percent.
Some differences emerged in the summer labor market outcomes of males and females in this age group. The rise in the labor force participation rate of younger workers was somewhat stronger among men than women—it rose 13.7 percent for men, 12.7 percent for women. The rise in employment between April and July was likewise significantly higher for men, generating a 13 percent rise in the employment-to-population ratio, whereas for women the ratio rose only 10 .6 percent. The relatively higher rate of men's employment during this period also translates into a smaller increase in the number of those that remained unemployed throughout the same period. Even though the male labor force expanded substantially, a significant proportion of male workers were able to find jobs during this period, resulting in only a 4.7 percent rise in their unemployment rate from April to July. Young women were not as successful in finding employment and experienced a 20.4 percent rise in their unemployment rate during the same period.

Juliette Barnes ' career seemed to go down in flames on Wednesday night's Nashville . During her induction ceremony into the Grand Ole Opry, Juliette refused to read the canned apology written for her by Edgehill Records. Instead, Juliette struck a defiant tone against the fans who have burnt her CDs and forced her to cancel concert dates right and left. The controversy stems from a doctored video clip in which Juliette seems to deny God's existence.
Juliette told the Opry crowd, "To all of you who want me to beg forgiveness, who want to burn my records and cancel my concerts. Who want to put my career in the ground, this one's for you."
She then performed "Don't Put Dirt on My Grave Just Yet," a song written especially for this point in Juliette's life.
Hayden Panettiere plays Juliette on the show. She says, "It's got a lot of edge, and she is singing it meaning every word."
"Don't Put Dirt on My Grave Just Yet" will become a theme song for Juliette in the coming weeks, too.
"We have shot a couple scenes, maybe, having to do with 'Don't Put Dirt on My Grave Just Yet,'" Hayden says. "So, it's gonna be a song that people will be very familiar with. "
To learn more about "Don't Put Dirt on My Grave Just Yet," check out the latest On the Record feature in the ABC Music Lounge . The song is now available for download at iTunes.
Brad Paisley made his second cameo on Nashville to induct Juliette into the Opry, but his career advice couldn't keep her from getting dropped from Edgehill Records after that explosive performance. Juliette decided to retreat from public life for awhile, but she did make a move on her confidante Avery Barkley. They ended up sealing their love with a kiss at the end of the episode.
Scarlett O'Connor teamed up with bad-boy producer Liam McGuinnis , who encouraged her to write about darker topics like her mentally ill mother. The collaboration resulted in an artsy new song for Scarlett, titled "Black Roses," but Liam gave Scarlett some pills to keep working in the studio. Looks like those might be a problem for Scarlett in the coming episodes.
Scarlett's uncle, Deacon Claybourne, decided to record his upcoming album live at the Bluebird Café while Rayna Jaymes decided not to sell her upcoming independent album at Boone's retail stores. It turns out she was only getting a shot at placement in Boone's because they were pulling Juliette Barnes' albums from the shelves.
Rayna's sister Tandy got out of testifying against their father, Lamar Wyatt , since the documents she gave prosecutors against him were inadmissible in court. Lamar is now out of jail, and Mayor Teddy Conrad is now running scared. Lamar believes Teddy is the one who testified against him, which explains why Lamar ordered the hit that killed Teddy's wife Peggy .
ABC's Nashville returns with an all-new episode Wednesday night at 9 ET.

Tucker coach Franklin Stephens did the right thing when he said South Carolina was "no longer welcome" on campus after its treatment of Jonathan Davis. Of course, he is going to defend his player. What else would you expect?
You know the story: Davis committed to South Carolina last month, and then had his scholarship yanked away last week. What happened? South Carolina is not allowed to comment because of NCAA rules. But the Charleston Post and Courier reported that ex-Gamecocks assistant Ron Cooper offered Davis and accepted his commitment against the wishes of the South Carolina staff. Then when Cooper took a job with LSU, he wasn't around to fight to keep Davis on the recruiting board.
Steve Spurrier accepted blame and said it was confusion among his assistants, according to Stephens. And Cooper is the easy scapegoat. He's gone. But the responsibility is with Spurrier, who is in charge of the program. All things South Carolina fall under his domain.
Spurrier is one of college football's greatest coaches because of his tough personnel decisions. But Spurrier should have handled communication of this decision better. Rather than have some assistant (Shane Beamer) give Davis a quick buzz, Spurrier should have dispatched a coach to break the news in person, or called himself.
Situations happen like this more often than you think. A couple of years ago, a highly-rated prospect committed early to an WAC school. The WAC school later decided they didn't need his services, but was fearful of any bad publicity if it was perceived the scholarship was "yanked." So they used one of the oldest "recruiting tricks" in the book. The WAC school calmly told the player "We offered you a scholarship, and we're going to honor that offer. Unfortunately, we've changed some our [defensive] schemes, and we no longer feel like you're a fit for us. You can come here and practice with the team. But we can't promise you'll ever have the chance to play here, or even dress out for games. So you need to decide if this situation is in your best interests." The player already was dialing his cell on the way out of the door. He quickly switched to another school, with the switch being reported as a "mutual agreement." And Davis, being the competitor he is, likely would have reacted in similar fashion. Davis made a point of saying he wanted to go where he is wanted.
Back to the ban: Stephens did the right thing, and it's not a precedent. High school coaches do it frequently if they feel a specific college has treated one of its players unfairly (you pick the reason). On the flip side, colleges probably do this even more, just more discreetly, which is what makes how Spurrier handled everything surprising. Let's say (we're making up names here) Nebraska Tech beats out Nebraska State for Nebraska's top prospect. This is a prospect who is a difference-maker, one who can save a staff's job. State's coaches are naturally upset and claim that they weren't given the same access or favorable conditions to recruit the prospect as Tech. What is the punishment by State? Perhaps they won't stop by that high school in the spring to view junior prospects. Or maybe requests for "recruiting tickets" to State's big game will be just a little too late to fill. I've seen this happen countless times, and here's the funny part: As soon as that high school has another blue-chipper, a mega-prospect, State is back on the high school's campus as if nothing ever happened.
Final point: What does it mean when a college is "no longer welcome?" Only Stephens knows, but I'm guessing he won't be in a big rush to to respond to South Carolina's film or transcript requests. In the long run, the "ban" really means nothing. It was just a slap on the wrist, to say "we didn't like the way that was handled." If South Carolina wants film of a Tucker prospect, they'll get it from Stephens, and if not fast enough then from one of the team's opponents. Or just watch clips of the player on the Internet. If a Tucker player likes South Carolina, he'll go to summer camp there and talk to Spurrier directly. With advanced technology (cell phones, e-mails) these days, the majority of recruiting very rarely goes through the high school coach.

Monitoring your recordings on headphones is convenient and will not disturb anyone, but regular headphones color the sound by adding more bass & treble to what you are hearing. Fine for listening to your iPad, but when you are mixing a track you've just recorded, it is recommended that the sound is as "honest" as it can be. Headphones also exaggerate the stereo image and are only recommended for critical listening of the track. A good set of studio monitors will provide you with a much more realistic understanding of the mix, so you can make any mixing decisions with the confidence that its going to sound great.

Clean Vehicles: Scientific Solutions For Cutting U.S. Oil Use
Reducing U.S. oil use offers enormous benefits to our health, economy, and environment. The practical Half the Oil plan makes it possible through increased fuel efficiency, better biofuels, and the next generation of advanced vehicles.
The technology is already here. The benefits of clean vehicle and fuel technologies are being successfully demonstrated on a large scale in locations as diverse as Europe, China, and Brazil.
Now is the time for the United States to invest in these technologies—creating new jobs, saving consumers billions of dollars, and safeguarding public health and the environment.

California Charging Ahead With Support For Electric Vehicles, David Reichmuth
How Clean are Electric Cars? A Life Cycle Assessment of Advanced Vehicle Technologies, Rachael Nealer
New 2015 Electric Vehicle Models on the Horizon, Josh Goldman
We must act now. Our cars and trucks consume more oil than all other sources combined. America's reliance on oil creates pollution, worsens climate change, and puts a drag on the economy—and the costs and risks will only intensify as oil becomes more difficult to acquire.
We need strong, forward-thinking leadership decisions that support the growth and development of clean vehicle and fuel technologies—and move the country toward a cleaner, safer transportation future.
Improve Fuel Efficiency
If we burn less gas, we need less oil. Increasing vehicle fuel efficiency offers the single greatest opportunity for reducing our oil consumption.

Invest in Advanced Vehicle Technologies
Hybrid, electric, and fuel cell technologies are increasingly available to consumers and offer long-term solutions to reduce oil use. To demonstrate the potential of these technologies, UCS developed the Model E electric vehicle plans.

Produce Clean Biofuels
Biofuels offer a potential low-carbon, low-pollution alternative to conventional gasoline. Corn-based ethanol currently dominates the market but much better, cleaner alternatives exist, such as cellulosic biofuels made from wood, grass, and even garbage.
More on producing clean biofuels >
Clean Up Freight Transportation
Highway freight transportation consumes a prodigious and growing amount of oil—and lagging emissions standards have contributed to a disproportionate share of air pollution from these medium- and heavy-duty vehicles.
Clean vehicle technology can dramatically increase the fuel efficiency of these vehicles, significantly reducing diesel use and the pollution it creates. More on freight transportation >

A 38-year-old man charged with his wife with child abuse in the death of their severely malnourished 15-month-old daughter has pleaded not guilty. Ernest Ingram entered the plea Monday in Maricopa County Superior Court. Phoenix police responded to the couple's home on July 10 after receiving a call from the mother, Denise Snow-Ingram, that the child wasn't breathing. The infant later died at a hospital. According to police, the parents said the child hadn't seen a doctor since birth due to their religious beliefs. Police said the girl weighed less than 9 pounds and suffered from "profound malnutrition," along with numerous bone fractures.The Ingrams and their seven children live in a small two bedroom apartment near downtown Phoenix. The children are now in Child Protective Service's custody.

It's easy to get caught in the spirit of spending during holiday season.
You walk in a store with a list and the best of intentions and still find yourself defenseless against the many forces designed by retailers to encourage you to spend, spend, spend. But here's the gotcha — even if you stick to your guns, you may still find yourself shelling out too much because of short-term thinking.
Scott Christian, a wealth management advisor for Merrill Lynch in Alpharetta often sees clients creating short-term budgets that don't take into account big expenses such as holidays and travel.
"When people budget, they budget based on their monthly spend," he says. "They get their after tax income and budget it out for a month. When we bring people in for a financial plan, we try to get them down to an annual plan, but it is very hard to get people to think annually."
If you can force yourself to think about the holidays a year in advance, it can pay off big. There are of course, the things most of us already know — make a list, avoid impulse buys and shop year round for stocking stuffers and the best deals on gifts, but here are a few other strategies to consider now that can help you better plan for next year:
How are you reigning in holiday spending this year? How will you plan better next year?

A certain amount goes in it from each paycheck, then come Christmas I'm ready.

34th Meeting of the Ramsar Standing Committee
Format for National Reports for COP10
|Action requested: Standing Committee is invited to agree that the Subgroup on Resolution VII.45 take account of the issue of developing a simplified format for national reporting for COP10, and provide the format for SC35 to consider and adopt in early 2007.
1. The Contracting Parties, in Resolution IX.8, requested the Standing Committee to design a simplified COP10 National Report Format based on the Framework for the implementation of the Convention's Strategic Plan 2003-2008 in the 2006-2008 period, taking into account reporting issues in Resolutions IX.1 Annex D and IX.5 and, in so doing, to ensure that the new format will reduce the overall reporting burden on Contracting Parties by:
i) reducing duplication required and/or requested in relevant Resolutions adopted by this and previous COPs;
ii) ensuring that any new reporting requirements are compensated for by removal of existing requirements, so as to ensure at least no net increase in reporting requirements;
iii) considering reporting requirements of other relevant conventions and agreements and ways to use the information collected for these purposes rather than requiring the collection of additional information; and
iv) also considering the contribution of Ramsar reporting to other conventions' equivalent processes including inter alia the 2010 biodiversity target.
2. Discussions at the regional meetings prior to COP9, and the COP itself, re-inforced concern from Parties that a simpler reporting format is needed, yet nonetheless a format that would allow lessons to drawn and shared - in other words the need for national reporting to be a dynamic tool for overall Convention management.
3. At the same time moves within and amongst other MEAs in the biodiversity cluster are examining the possibility to reduce duplication in national reporting requirements. This is quite a complicated issue but one which will certainly develop in the next two years.
4. Specifically, the SBSTTA of the CBD meeting last November, inter alia;
(5.) Requested the Executive Secretary to invite the Ramsar Convention to take the lead in developing a draft joint reporting framework on the biological diversity of inland water ecosystems, taking into consideration the needs of both conventions, including their respective needs for reporting on other matters, and, as appropriate, drawing upon the Issue-Based Modules for Coherent Implementation of Biodiversity-related Conventions;
(6.) Requested the Executive Secretary to invite the Ramsar Convention, subject to resources, to take the lead in reviewing the processes and categories of activities that have or are likely to have significant adverse impacts on the conservation and sustainable use of inland water biological diversity identified by, among others, the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, including in its synthesis report on wetlands and water, and the Global Biodiversity Outlook, as well as the extent to which the activities in the programmes of work of the Convention address the major threats to the biological diversity of inland water ecosystems, and to inform Parties about the outcome of the review;
(7.) Recommended that the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity at its eighth meeting:(a) Invite Parties, other Governments and relevant international organizations to promote the recognition and implementation of the programme of work on the biological diversity of inland water ecosystems by relevant stakeholders, using the information to be provided, inter alia, by the aforementioned process;
(b) Invite Parties, other Governments and international organizations, on a voluntary basis and in accordance with identified needs, to contribute financial and other resources to assist the work of the Executive Secretary and the Secretary General of the Ramsar Convention on these matters; and
(c) Consider further ways and means for developing a strategic approach, relevant to all programmes of work, to assess and monitor threats and to identify key stakeholders and promote, where appropriate, their full involvement in reducing threats.
5. While we should wait for the final decision of CBD COP8 on this matter (to be taken in March 2006 and reported verbally to Standing Committee), it seems clear that already there is a mandate to work closely with the CDB secretariat and parties on the issue of developing joint reporting frameworks, which should inform our National reporting processes. One issue which remains is that CBD parties seem to be less aware of the link of Ramsar work with other thematic programmes such as Marine and Coastal, mountain and Island ecosystems than the link with inland waters. However this can be clarified as we work on the national Report Format.
6. As noted in DOC. SC34-7 it is suggested that this issue be considered by the Subgroup on Resolution VIII.45, along with the development of the Strategic Plan 2009- 2014.

Today marks the official kick off the Chinese Education Expo in Beijing, China. With well over 500 overseas post-secondary institutions and education bureaus from some 38 countries across the globe, the world is looking to take on Chinese young and influential, and eager to have them spend their lucrative dollars in their domestic economies. China is officially the world's largest market for new students, with India falling in a close second but not having the financial influence as China's high school and post-secondary school graduates. Twenty-one different pavilions worked feverishly to attract the eager students and their parents. The countries hard at work included Canada, the United States, Germany, Spain with a myriad of others. The Expo wraps up on Sunday and will subsequently move on to several other mainland cities including Shanghai, ending in Guangzhou.
Spain, a country on the verge of their most disastrous financial crisis since before the war, hopes to take full advantage of the opportunity to attract fresh, new minds to their fine universities. As Jenny Mendoza, chief market analyst at Spain's economic and commercial office in Beijing said that "China is a potential market. We don't want to miss it. We've seen a steady growth of Chinese students coming to study in Spain." Despite it's grim economic outcast, the limping nation still managed to bring twenty institutions to the Expo and are welcoming Chinese students with open arms.
British and American institutions represented over 80 different institutions, but neither were a match for Canada. Canada's long time relationship with China has made it the most popular destination for Chinese students because of both it's historic connection as well it's large Chinese diaspora living in the country. The Canadian and American pavilions took up the entire second floor of the pavilion and so far, have been the most popular.
Post secondary institutions weren't the only ones presenting their best at the Expo. Over 20 regional education bureaus made an appearance to attempt to attract Chinese students for primary and high school education. Canadian secondary schools, in some districts, are running at full capacity and have had to tailor their application process more specifically. The assistant manager of the Surrey Schools International Department, Shawn Silverstone explained that ""Our schools already have a large number of Chinese students and there is not enough room. I think in the future we are going to select students, as opposed to recruiting anyone who applies."
Germany's ivy league institutions made an appearance, bringing with them more than 30 institutions including Heildelberg University, well known for its significant scientific research endeavors, well as the acclaimed Technical University of Munich. Germany's strong economy and multicultural communities make it an attractive destination for Chinese students. The number of Chinese students studying in Germany last year topped 23,000.
Universities from Bulgaria, Slovakia and Latvia also made appearances in hopes of offering students a unique cultural experience and opportunity to study in a part of the world they had otherwise not considered. Even Israel has joined the recruitment revolution by sending ORT Braude College, a top engineering school. They are quickly recognizing that the Chinese are an economy to be reckoned with, and Israel desperately needs them as an ally.
It seems that China is the nation to be wooed, and its highly coveted students will have plenty of decisions to make in the next year before the fall semester begins.

|Freeport-McMoRan Inc
|Freeport-McMoRan Inc, formerly Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold, was incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware on November 10, 1987. The Company deals in the mining of copper, gold and molybdenum. Its portfolio of assets includes the Grasberg minerals district in Indonesia, significant mining operations in North and South America, and the Tenke Fungurume minerals district in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The Grasberg minerals district contains the single recoverable copper reserve and the single gold reserve of any mine in the world based on the latest available reserve data provided by third-party industry consultants. The Company has organized its operations into six primary divisions – North America copper mines, South America mining, Indonesia mining, Africa mining, Molybdenum mines and United States (U.S.) oil and gas operations. It has has seven operating copper mines in North America – Morenci, Bagdad, Safford, Sierrita and Miami in Arizona, and Tyrone and Chino in New Mexico. The North America copper mines include open-pit mining, sulfide ore concentrating, leaching and SX/EW operations. A majority of the copper produced at the North America copper mines is cast into copper rod by the Company's Rod & Refining operations. The North America copper mines include the Morenci copper mine as a reportable segment. In addition to copper, certain of its North America copper mines also produce molybdenum concentrates. South America mining includes four operating copper mines – Cerro Verde in Peru, and El Abra, Candelaria and Ojos del Salado in Chile. These operations include open-pit and underground mining, sulfide ore concentrating, leaching and SX/EW operations. South America mining includes the Cerro Verde and Candelaria copper mines as reportable segments. Indonesia mining includes PT-FI's Grasberg minerals district that produces copper concentrates, which contain significant quantities of gold and silver. Africa mining includes the Tenke minerals district. The Tenke operation includes surface mining, leaching and SX/EW operations and produces copper cathodes. In addition to copper, the Tenke operation produces cobalt hydroxide. Molybdenum mines include the wholly owned Henderson underground mine and Climax open-pit mine in Colorado. The Henderson and Climax mines produce high-purity, chemical-grade molybdenum concentrates, which are typically further processed into value-added molybdenum chemical products. The Rod & Refining segment consists of copper conversion facilities located in North America, and includes a refinery, three rod mills and a specialty copper products facility. These operations process copper produced at the Company's North America copper mines and purchased copper into copper cathode, rod and custom copper shapes. Atlantic Copper smelts and refines copper concentrates and markets refined copper and precious metals in slimes. The U.S. oil and gas operations include oil production facilities and growth potential in the Deepwater GOM, oil production from the onshore Eagle Ford shale play in Texas, oil production facilities onshore and offshore California, onshore natural gas resources in the Haynesville shale play in Louisiana, natural gas production from the Madden area in central Wyoming, and a position in the emerging shallow-water Inboard Lower Tertiary/Cretaceous natural gas trend on the Shelf of the GOM and onshore in South Louisiana.

Which method of avoiding water shortage is more valuable: developing new sources of water or conservation of it?
More than one-third of all worlds will likely be facing very serious water shortages by 2050, according to a new report released by the Natural Resources Defense Council. Up to date, approximately 700 million people in 43 countries suffer from water shortages. High rates of population growth, poor management, environmental pollution, low water use efficiency lead to the depletion of water resources. The United Nation Secretary-General Ban Gi Moon noted that in the future water shortages will pose a threat to economic and social development and environmental sustainability. He believes that in order to overcome this problem is important to the integrated management of water resources and international cooperation, as many rivers and aquifers are the common heritage of countries.

Sunday Arts has become Arts America to reflect two significant aspects of our popular weekend arts programming. We will now air the series on Saturdays as well. And, since we have begun to exchange more locally-produced programs with stations across the country, we decided that Arts America was a more fitting title to the series.
Arts America will continue to lead full afternoon of local and national arts every Sunday from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Nine PBS, and will also air Saturday afternoons at 3:30 p.m. The half-hour magazine series represents an exciting collaboration among 30 PBS stations across the country, each sharing their best arts segments. This means St. Louis arts segments are seen throughout the United States.
Over the next six months, our weekend Arts America series will include a regular segment called "Art Fusion" featuring interviews with local arts leaders. The segments will explore a wide range of perspectives on the visual and performing arts in our region.
Art Fusion segments are created by the Nine Network in partnership with the Regional Arts Commission (RAC) and the Radio Arts Foundation with support from the National Endowment for the Arts.
Listen to Jim Doyle's recent interview on Radio Arts Foundation as Patrick Murphy, Jill McGuire and Gavin Chuck discuss Art Fusion and the Nine Network's commitment to the arts.

NEW YORK, NY (AP) -- Catcher Joe Mauer, the Minnesota Twins' only representative to see action in this year's All-Star Game, got a key hit as the American League blanked the National League 3-0 at Citi Field in New York Tuesday night.
Mauer was a starter for the American League team that won 3-0 in Tuesday's game. He was the AL's No. 8 hitter and had two at-bats before he was pulled. Closer Glen Perkins, meanwhile, did not enter Tuesday's game -- his first All-Star Game of his career.
In his first at-bat of the night, Mauer lined out to left field to end the top of the second inning. Mauer came to the plate in the top of the fifth inning with Baltimore's Adam Jones on second base and nobody out. On a 2-2 count, Mauer hit a grounder toward shortstop that Colorado's Troy Tulowitzki couldn't make a play on. Mauer reached first base safely, while Jones scampered to third.
Tuesday marked Mauer's sixth career All-Star Game in his 10-year career. In last year's All-Star Game, Mauer had just one at-bat as a reserve and picked up a single in the American League's 8-0 loss to the National League. His first All-Star appearance came in 2006, and he made three straight All-Star teams from 2008-10.
Perkins -- who had 21 saves at the All-Star break -- never got his chance to pitch Tuesday, as his former teammate and good friend Joe Nathan pitched the ninth inning.

ALEXANDRIA, La. (BP) -- In his classic work "The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire," Edward Gibbon observed the following:
"The five marks of the Roman decaying culture [were]: Concern with displaying affluence instead of building wealth; Obsession with sex and perversions of sex; Art becomes freakish and sensationalistic instead of creative and original; Widening disparity between very rich and very poor; Increased demand to live off the state."
It seems as if America is displaying every sign of a culture on its way out. Perhaps most alarming of the marks cited by Gibbon is the rapidity with which sexual perversion has become accepted in the United States.
Homosexuality, bisexuality and transsexuality were behaviors and mindsets that were viewed as deviant and perverse only a few decades ago. They were first accepted as alternative lifestyles and now are deemed normal by the culture at large.
Very few sexual taboos remain in America. One behavior, however, still verboten is pedophilia. Yet seeds of tolerance currently are being planted that, if they come to fruition, will result in sex between adults and children being accepted as normal.
B4U-ACT is an organization that, according to its website, wants to remove the stigma from "minor-attracted persons" -- aka pedophiles. It also rejects pedophilia as a behavior that should be viewed as deviant or perverted.
B4U-ACT asserts on a webpage titled "Fact Sheet" the following: "No one chooses to be emotionally and sexually attracted to children or adolescents. The cause is unknown; in fact, the development of attraction to adults is not understood. A large number of theories involving hormonal influences, genetics, evolutionary processes, negative socialization, poor parental relationships, and childhood sexual experiences have been proposed...."
Nowhere on its website does B4U-ACT condone adults cavorting with children, mainly because it is illegal. Age of consent laws exist in every state that are designed to protect children and teens from being manipulated by adult sexual deviants.
In August 2011, B4U-ACT sponsored a conference in Baltimore, with the purpose of addressing the misunderstanding of adults who are sexually attracted to children and to challenge the entry for pedophilia in the "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders" of the American Psychiatric Association.
Fred Berlin, founder of the Johns Hopkins Sexual Disorders Clinic, was the conference's keynote speaker. Berlin compared society's reaction to pedophilia to that of homosexuality prior to the 2003 Lawrence v. Texas decision by the Supreme Court that resulted in the decriminalization of sodomy.
Similar to the homosexual movement in the late 1960s, the movement to view pedophiles as misunderstood and unjustly persecuted is gaining momentum. The term "sexual orientation" in relation to pedophilia is being used more and more -- and not just by whacked-out activists but by so-called "respected" academicians and physicians.
"Male Intergenerational Intimacy: Historical, Socio-Psychological and Legal Perspectives" is a collection of writings by scholars, mostly European but some with American academic affiliations, published in 1991. The writers argue favorably for what they call "intergenerational intimacy."
Ken Plummer, one of the contributors, writes that "we can no longer assume that childhood is a time of innocence simply because of the chronological age of the child." In fact, "a child of seven may have built an elaborate set of sexual understandings and codes which would baffle many adults."
Richard Gardner, clinical professor of psychiatry at Columbia University from 1963 until his death in 2003, argued that America's attitude toward child sexual encounters was out of step with the cultures of the world. In his book "True and False Accusations of Child Sex Abuse," Gardner wrote: "Older children may be helped to appreciate that sexual encounters between an adult and a child are not universally considered to be reprehensible acts. The child might be told about other societies in which such behavior was and is considered normal...."
Gardner blamed what he described as the oppressive morality of the Bible for the American view of pedophilia. In his book, he asserted, "It is of interest that of all the ancient peoples it may very well be that the Jews were the only ones who were punitive toward pedophiles."
In 2002, the University of Minnesota Press published a book by journalist Judith Levine titled, "Harmful to Minors: The Perils of Protecting Children from Sex." In it she wrote, "Teens often seek out sex with older people, and they do so for understandable reasons: an older person makes them feel sexy and grown-up, protected and special." It is worth noting that Levine acknowledges having had an affair with an adult when she was a minor.
And, in September, noted atheist Richard Dawkins told Time magazine he could not condemn "the mild pedophilia" he experienced as a schoolboy in England in the 1950s.
Dawkins recounted how one of his teachers "pulled me on his knee and put his hand inside my shorts." He said other children had similar encounters with the same teacher but concluded, "I don't think he did any of us lasting harm."
Other individuals could be quoted as viewing sex between children and adults as anything but harmful. Many of them believe that the age of consent should be significantly lowered throughout the U.S. Some want the laws abolished.
Advocates of pedophilia are following in the footsteps of homosexual, bisexual and transsexual activists as they plant seeds of tolerance they hope will develop into the flower of acceptance. If that happens, America will rapidly join Rome as just another culture for historians to study.

text: MANKATO (TEC News), October 10 – The Minnesota State Patrol is advising the public on the proper use of a vehicle horn. Sgt. Jaci Sticha says that each horn must be audible from a distance of no less than 200 feet as a warning signal to insure safe operation: Sticha – horn 1 : "Now-a-days we use them a number of other reasons. You want to get their attention and show how angry you are and that's not appropriate." : 08 seconds [[[[[[[[[[ASK A TROOPER by Sgt. Jacalyn Sticha October 2013 Question: I was on the freeway and a driver passing me, in the left lane, hit his horn and was laughing. The horn was loud, high-pitched, obnoxious and went on forever as he passed. Is this type of horn legal? Answer: Our vehicle's horn must not be unreasonably loud or harsh, nor can it be a whistle. I have heard some of these horns—thankfully, infrequently. They can be very startling and, therefore, dangerous and distracting. As motorists, we are all required to have horns in our vehicles. Each horn must be audible, under normal circumstances, from a distance of no less than 200 feet. We are to use our horn as a warning to insure safe operation and if a warning is not necessary, they should remain silent. Vehicles cannot be equipped with a siren, whistle, or bell unless authorized by statute–this primarily would refer to emergency vehicles. I recommend calling your local law enforcement agency to look into the situation if this is local and/or frequent in your community or neighborhood. Many times, such enthusiasts are not aware of the problems or the law.]]]]]]]]]]]]]

State Department urges Egypt to close $4.8 billion loan deal with IMF
Washington, DC, United States (4E) – The U.S. Department of State on Tuesday urged Egypt and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to close a $4.8 billion loan agreement as soon as possible.
The department made the call in a statement issued to Ahram Online a day after advising Cairo to postpone the loan until January as Cairo failed to raise sales taxes on a wide range of consumer goods and services to lessen the government's $23 billion budget deficit for the current year starting July.
The IMF approved the loan in November and its board of directors is scheduled to issue a final decision on Wednesday.
Last week, Cairo asked the IMF to postpone the loan as President Mohamed Morsi decided not to raise taxes due to public opposition. Public protests against Morsi were another reason for the postponement of the loan, according to IMF.

Byrne pining after Wales recall
ESPN Staff
December 14, 2012

Clermont Auvergne fullback Lee Byrne still harbours hopes of pulling on the Wales shirt despite having not played for Warren Gatland's side since the 2011 World Cup.
The 32-year-old was an integral part of the Wales team that scooped the 2008 Six Nations Grand Slam and is currently one of the in-form fullbacks in the Top 14. But his last game for Wales came over a year ago with Leigh Halfpenny currently in possession of the No.15 shirt.
Byrne starts for Clermont on Saturday against Leinster in the key Heineken Cup clash and while he is still keen on playing for Wales in the future, he admits that he faces a battle to force his way back into the side.
"I've heard nothing really (from the Wales selectors) since before the autumns," Byrne told ESPN. "I hoped I was playing well enough to push for a place in the autumn Tests but it wasn't so. All I can do is keep on putting in performances in the Heineken Cup and in the Top 14 and hope that someone is watching.
"You always want to play international rugby but at the moment I am loving my time at Clermont and if Wales doesn't happen then there's not much I can do about it."
Byrne left the Ospreys for Clermont in the aftermath of the 2011 World Cup and at the time, he reiterated his desire to continue playing international rugby. The thought that the match against Fiji would be his last for Wales, was not on the radar.
"I didn't expect that to be [my final game] but it's looking like it is going to turn out that way. I wanted to go to France and recapture my best form and I've done that, but it's a case of keeping my fingers crossed."
While Byrne will be focused on trying to force his way back into the Wales team for the 2013 Six Nations, with Halfpenny currently sidelined, there is also the British & Irish Lions tour to Australia next summer on his radar. He toured with the famous side in 2009 to South Africa and started the first Test against the Springboks. He is keen to feature again this summer but he claims it is unlikely he will get the nod if he is not in contention for Wales.
"I always thought that you had to play international rugby to go on that tour and it would be a great honour if that worked out," Byrne added. "But first of all I think I need to get back into that Wales side."

Argentina received some rain, cooling off temps with more forecast for Wednesday and Thursday. Brazil received rain and should dry out for harvest to continue by midweek. Crop conditions in SA are improving and many analysts are adjusting their production estimates for the region.
Celeres raised their estimate of the Brazilian soybean crop to 89.9 while AgRural, a consulting firm in Brazil, has lowered their estimate of the soybean crop to 88.8 mmt versus a previous estimate of 89.2. The USDA latest estimate was 89.0 mmt.
Japan bought 50,000 mt of Canadian wheat. Traders are expecting China to be back looking for wheat as prices have dropped.
(Reuters) Feed millers in Indonesia could buy up to 150,000 tonnes of corn either from India or the United States, with supplies from rival South American exporters tapering off at the end of their marketing season.
"A record volume of maize exports during December compensated significantly for lower exports of wheat and barley," SovEcon said. Russia's 2013 maize crop rose by a third, year-over-year, and hit a record level of 10.7 million tonnes.
China says it will stop stockpiling soybeans but continue with the program for corn and wheat.
The CFTC commitment of traders report showed managed funds reducing short positions in corn and wheat by 27,520 and 16,606 contracts respectively. They increased long positions in soybeans by 18,713 contracts.
Technical traders are now looking for a retest of the 4.17 ½ area in the March corn.
