Two female Hult students from the Dominican Republic and Italy have been invited to join the globe's most exclusive networking event for young people who want to change the world.
Anniete Cohn-Lois from the Dominican Republic and Greta Rossi from Italy will take part in the Clinton Global Initiative University – a meeting of students chosen because they have devised a workable and measurable idea to improve society.
Anniete and Greta will spend the first three days of April challenging and being challenged, as every hand-picked student tries to hammer out their idea into a plan that will happen, through a mixture of debate and networking.
Greta even wants to use people's taste buds as part of an imaginative strategy to harness all five senses to combat racism in her home country. The project, which is aimed particularly at school children, will include cooking and tasting traditional recipes of other ethnic groups. Children will also dance to the music of other cultures, as well as listening to stories, and even visiting stores that specialize in the home comforts of people from different backgrounds.
Anniete will tackle women's problems ranging from sexual health to self-esteem-concentrating especially on the Caribbean countries of Haiti and the Dominican Republic. She aims to do this through a network of courses and meetings for local women. Armed with greater confidence and health, women will find it easier to find jobs that can support them. Anniete, who will soon be looking for multinational sponsors, says: "The empowerment of women is important for every country's development"
Anniete and Greta are both undergraduates in International Relations at the London campus of Hult International Business School.
Their ambitions fit well with other Hult projects. Hult International Business School runs the Global Case Challenge- a competition open to students at every business school to think up the best business solution to a problem posed by a charity chosen by Hult. This year's charity is Water.org, which wants to solve the conundrum of how to provide clean water cheaply in low-income countries. Hult donates $1m to the earmarked charity each year, to implement the winning students' ideas.
Hult has also launched a Master of Social Entrepreneurship, for people who want find business solutions to social problems. The program's first students will start in September.
The Clinton Global Initiative University and Global Case Challenge are both part of the Clinton Global Initiative - a movement set up by President Bill Clinton to make the world better by making organizations and individuals commit to making a specific and measurable improvement to society.
This year's CGIU will take place at the University of California, San Diego, on April 1-3.
Hult International Business School (formerly known as the Arthur D. Little School of Management) is the first global business school with campuses in Boston, San Francisco, London, Dubai, and Shanghai. The School offers a range of business-focused programs including MBA, Master and Undergraduate degrees. Hult's one-year MBA program is ranked in the top 30 in the world by The Economist and among the top 100 by the Financial Times. www.hult.edu

and there is life and there is love <3

""I've always loved intelligent girls, no matter how they look, to be able to hold a conversation with someone is so important. The moment someone acts dumb, I lose interest. I think about the subtext and layers of a person when I design. I design for someone who has interest in the space around her, who is aware of her relationship with the world, someone a little evolved, a little concerned. I think putting more women in power will help solve a lot of problems in the world. It troubles me that the media celebrate women acting like bimbos on TV — it's not cute, it's ridiculous. I call it 'Paris Hilton Syndrome'; there's a place for that superficiality — but it must neutralized by an equally powerful, intelligent counterforce in culture. I don't want to perpetuate the wrong ideal." -Prabal Gurung."

SATURDAY, Aug. 14 (HealthDay News) -- Walking to school may help
reduce children's stress throughout the day, the results of a new
study suggest.
This reduction in stress reactivity could prevent increases in
heart rate and blood pressure that can lead to cardiovascular
disease later in life, explained the University at Buffalo
The study included 20 girls and 20 boys, aged 10 to 14, who
underwent testing in a behavioral research laboratory. Half the
children took a simulated ride to school -- they sat in comfortable
chairs and watched a 10-minute slide show that included images of a
suburban neighborhood and ended with an image of a suburban
The other children did a one-mile walk on a treadmill at a
self-selected pace and wore a book bag that contained 10 percent of
their body weight. As they walked on the treadmill, the children
saw images of a suburban neighborhood on a screen.
After the simulations, both groups of children rested for 20
minutes and then took a test in which they were asked to identify
the color of color names printed in the wrong color (the word green
appeared in blue ink, for example). On average, heart rate
increased by about three beats per minute in children who walked,
compared with about 11 beats per minute in children who "rode" to
Compared to those who walked, the children who "rode" had a
three times greater increase in systolic blood pressure and their
change in perceived stress was about twice as high, according to
the report published in the August issue of the journal
Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise.
"The cardiovascular disease process begins in childhood, so if we can find some way of stopping or slowing that process, that would provide an important health benefit," senior investigator James Roemmich, an associate professor of pediatrics and exercise and nutrition science, said in a news release from the University at Buffalo.

NA mini sub. They deserve to be made just like the rest of the vintage lines.
Type: Posts; User: Hordaiquiri
NA mini sub. They deserve to be made just like the rest of the vintage lines.
Seeing your progress shots makes me feel like we really should have gotten more attention/better design choices for the Star Sisters. I can't wait to see more!
+1 for Kayo
BUMP for this thread!
The gal is gorgeous! A knockout from the 4H!
Subs bought for my brother and I. Cannot wait for Huntara!
Still want this. Desperately.
Gimme Kayo, Hoove, Drissi, Spinwit, Quakke, Vizar, Sebrian, Staghorn, Darius, gimme all of em! Even that one gal.. Serta matress ...Certs breath mints .......
The rest of the vintage New Adventures characters, especially Kayo, Hoove, Spinwit, Quakke, and Staghorn; supplemented with important Jetlag characters like Crita, Sebrian, and Drissi.
1) Kayo
2) Hoove
3) Spinnerella
4) Perfuma
5) Angella
6) Crita
7) Drissi
8) Mermista
9) Peekablue
10) Chef Allen
I would be so down for that, I'd buy 2 or maybe even 3. My brother would probably buy the same amount, he loves the NA faction.
Disco Skeletor
yes, seriously~
Danielle, I am so sorry for your loss.
I'll pick him up, but I am very disappointed in the lack of effort overall.
A new head and cowl would have gone a long way in spicing this up.
Imp looks great, though.
Oh, I missed last meeting, sorry. Remind me to bring drinks next time to make up for it.
Yep. No real harm in keeping up with the 2-3 a year. Make them No Day of Sale so people can at least...
The only reason I'll even bother with MOTUC past 2015 is to finish New Adventures.
Something to consider: We already have a lot of parts available for several of the missing NA figures, and with...
So yeah, I couldn't wait for 2016 or "if and when" promises, so I went ahead and made Kayo. :cagrin:
Logged in for both polls, so I guess my votes are safe.
Either one of the NA subs or a 2nd Club Etheria. There are still so many vintage NA characters to get to, and quite a few interesting Etherians that should see figure form.
New Adventures sub or bust!
New Adventures sub or bust!
New Adventures sub or bust!
That's the only 100% guarantee mini-sub option for me. I might consider a POP-based Filmation sub, but NA >...
New Adventures - Master Sebrian
Cannot unsee a part of Orko that should have remained hidden...
No surprise about the current top 5.
Voted, and yesh I am among those voting for Chef Allen. :P
Primarily vintage NA voting for me, aside from tha Chef.
<3 This this THIS!
+3 Club Etheria for me~
Chef Allen
The earlier they can get Multi-Bot out, the better; cause he'll likely provide parts for Hoove and Artilla.
No need to apologize, the drawing highlighted something that should have been simple enough to reproduce. Should have been. :/
Sssqueeze for me~
Spinnerella the Dizzying Defender!
Dangit. I really wanted a swappable jewel/Horde symbol. :(
Oh well, like you said, I'm really hoping they can stick to the proto; no screw ups.
This'll be interesting without my normal top 4-5 ladies, lol.
1) Spinnerella
2) Perfuma
3) Angella
4) Crita
5) Drissi
6) Mermista
7) Peekablue
8) Hunga the Harpy

Why Young Living Essential Oils?
As an aromatherapist I want to be able to use essential oils that are high quality. Young Living's oils meet AFNOR's, Association Francaise de Normalisation, standards. This ensures that the oil's constituents fall within certain range and it guarantees that the oils possess the right therapeutic actions.
Also, by running a small business doing health consultations I like the idea of not having to invest in thousands of dollars of products. The way Young Living is set up I don't have to carry a huge inventory and I am free to order whenever I need to.
The Young Living community is great and I am pleased to be part of it. My clients also have an opportunity to purchase the products at whole sale and become distributors if they want to.
I love being able to help people stay healthy for life.
Johanna is an aromatherapist and she is passionate about educating people about health, essential oils, real food, natural remedies, and nutrition so they make healthier choices in their lives.

The game is NOTHING about 1v1. the whole point of the game is MMO. They need to balance the game (through itemization) so that no class is TOO good by just pressing 4 DOTs and a fear (or equal). The whole idea as I see it, with introducing resilience was to balance PVP a bit. But they failed by "forgetting" DOTs.

The whole lucrative sham of it all was exposed once again this week when the executive board of the IOC — Informal Motto: "Me Some Too, Yes?" — recommended that wrestling be dropped as an Olympic sport in the 2020 Summer Games, which are supposed to be held in Istanbul, Tokyo, or Madrid, depending on whose checks clear first, I believe. According to the board, wrestling is no longer a "core sport" in the Olympics and it will have to petition for inclusion in 2020 along with, and I am not making this up, sport climbing and wakeboarding. This is terrific. Why don't we just hold the Olympics in an REI outlet store somewhere?[more inside]

Baby boomers say they don't need to learn anything new about sex. They already know it all.
And it's the women who say they know the most when it comes to getting it on.
That's the conclusion of a new Associated Press-LifeGoesStrong.Com poll on the sexual habits of the baby boom generation.
Among those polled, 59 percent of women say they know all they need to know when it comes to bumping bellies while 48 percent of men claim the same level of confidence.

I often wonder what would bring on such a commentary? Is Doug pro choice? Does he approve of condoms being passed out at school? Does he believe that God can terrorize the kids into staying away from sex? Can the Ministers demand a marriage ceremony first?
When this slows up at CHB, it is time for me to move on!
Well, this assumption that Baby Boomers don't need to learn anything new is not true, the Bulldozer Fetish Phenomenon has not been broached
All they need to do to learn about foreplay these days is to simply show up at a US airport and have the TSA do an "enhanced" body search!

|Law Offices of G. Emerson Dickman, III
|"Caring Professionals
Helping People with Special Needs"
For over 30 years, the Law Offices of G. Emerson Dickman have been
helping individuals with special needs and their families respond to
unique challenges. Dedicated primarily to special education advocacy
and special needs planning, we provide a continuum of services to help
individuals with special needs reach their potential, and lead safe, happy,
and productive lives.
In the area of Special Education Advocacy we focus on obtaining
effective and timely educational services. While knowing the law is
important, effective advocacy begins with a comprehensive
understanding of the child. Therefore, we work closely with parents,
educators, and clinicians to understand the nature of the disability
sufficiently to promote partnerships and build consensus as to an
appropriate educational response.
We are committed to making a good faith effort to resolve potential
disputes with school districts without resorting to litigation; however, we
are well equipped to proceed to litigation if the occasion demands.
The hope for all our children, especially as they approach adulthood, is
that they acquire necessary academic, social, self management,
vocational and/or life skills to enable them to be happy, productive, and
feel a sense of belonging and connectedness to the community. As
children with special needs prepare to transition out of public school, we
provide guidance and links to service providers that will support them in
their lifelong endeavors.
We recognize that many individuals with special needs lead productive
independent lives while others, due to the characteristics or extent of
their disability, remain more dependant and may be eligible for
governmental benefits and entitlements. We understand the concerns of
those who want to ensure that their loved ones will remain protected
even when they are no longer able to provide for them. We provide
guidance on how to develop networks of human support, backed up by
community, state, government, and financial resources, so that families
can remain confident that their adult children will enjoy a quality life. Our
services may include person centered estate planning including but not
limited to, Special Needs Trusts, Protective Arrangement Trusts,
Medicaid Qualifying Trusts, and Guardianships.
Everyone in the office has a personal connection to a family member with
a special need that has sensitized them to the unique obstacles,
challenges, and joy that such persons and their caretakers experience.
These life experiences have resulted in life choices that help explain our
personal commitment to the individuals we represent and their families.

USA Women's Soccer Team | 2011 World Cup - 2nd place
Today's World Cup final was one of the most intense games I have ever watched. Every single one of these girls did incredible and they are truly #1. They just had a disadvantage in the PK's because Japan has already seen them kick penalties. & I also want to say CONGRATS to Japan. They've gone through SO much, along with their country & they honestly deserved something like this to bring joy to their people. As much I think USA deserved to win, Japan did too.

Texas, and the world at large, has lost a great man. Although I never met him, I certainly benefited in myriad ways from his efforts and his generosity. In addition to the many accomplishments listed above, he was a founding father of the UT chapter of Alpha Epsilon Pi, where I (and many others) grew from boys to men while students at The University. My fraternity brothers (and I), as well as the rest of The University community, are better because of his good works.

PLAYERS: Bud Selig
TEAMS: Chicago White Sox
TEAMS: Chicago White Sox
With Bud Selig reaching a deal with the replacement umpires, we can be sure there will be no more awful calls like those that marred the White Sox series. Never mind, that was that other awful commissioner. The Indians did end up winning their second series of the month, with an opportunity at one more before September ends. Unlike the series with Chicago, this one will be absolutely irrelevant to the playoffs. The Indians win against the White Sox was enough to knock them out of first place and if they continue to push through these last two series, they could easily knock them out of the playoffs entirely. September 28th, 7:05 PM ET: Will Smith, LHP, 6-8, 4.88 ERA vs David Huff, LHP, 2-0, 2.25 ERA Huff pitched a great game his last time out, but was still unable to pitch less than 6 innings. Three of his four appearances have been good, but Tribe fans should keep from getting too excited since it is September and he has done this before. September 29th, 7:05 PM ET: Jake Od...

One of the ice machines on my floor was broken and the other one at the far end seemed to be defective so it would take you a long time just to get two cupfuls full of ice.

There's no official measure to test whether or not something has officially become a trend, but the unofficial standard that I use goes something like this: When three different pieces from three different brands repeat the same element, and those pieces are all available at roughly the same time, it's a pretty good bet that more of the same is on the way from other brands and at other price points. Ladies and gents, my spidey sense is tingling over holograms. And it's not just the whole Tupac-at-Coachella thing.
A couple of weeks ago, we brought you the exciting news that Proenza Schouler will be including several holographic leather PS11′s in its upcoming Resort 2013 collection. Not long after, Sigerson Morrison's holographic-trimmed suede sandals popped up on Moda Operandi for resort pre-order. Finally, Hussein Chalayan's holographic leggings came in stock at Net-a-Porter and swiftly sold out before they even made it off the New Arrivals page. That's three, even if you don't count the Theyskens' Theory hologram pants and bags from Spring 2012, and that's all the proof I need. Want to get ahead of the trend? We have some suggestions after the jump, plus the purchase information for the items above.
The Hussein Chalayan Holographic Leggings quickly sold out at Net-a-Porter for $965 after their debut last week, but what I'm really anticipating is the release of the Fall 2012 collection's matching holo oxfords.

Hi to all,
Ok let's get straight to the point. It's quite hard to explain, but i'll try my best.first of all, see this image:
I want a dynamic system for this navigation vertical menu. Ok. First you should know that My navigation is as sub-divised as follows:
- Our Profile
- Our Mission
- Contact Us
- What we offer
- Production
- Rates
- Showcases
- Templates for sale
I want a CSS style, which allows me when:
1. Mouse overed on the "studio" ( for exemple ) to change the color of the box where its written "studio" to purple for instance, but also change the color of the vertical actual orange bar to purple...
2. When clicked on the "studio" box, to drop down, like a tree menu, the 3 sub links ( Our Profile, Our Mission, Contact US )
As this image shows...
I hope to be clear enough. I am looking a bit of this kind of menu: http://www.projectseven.com/tutorial...1_ldeluxe.htm#
i am really optimizing this webpage for search engine placement, so I thought CSS would be much better, less bothering than Javascript to search engine, especially that Javascript would take hours to load on a 56k modem. I would be very VERY very hyper grateful if you could be of any help to me. Would it be possible to place the css in an external style sheet, as far as the navigation is concerned ?
Thankyou again
Please move this thread to the appropriate forum if it's not well placed here, because I understand it's pure programming...
Take Care
Kind Regards
Brian Dove

"If you just work hard enough, you will succeed."
Which, I suppose, is how Jenna Bush got her gig as a contributor to NBC News - by working hard in entry-level journalism posts and climbing her way up through the ranks with solid reporting and outstanding feature pieces over the years. Oh, wait.
Well, maybe it explains the success of Luke Russert, another NBC News correspondent who paid his dues by starting on the ground floor and earning his way to the top and certainly not via the aegis of his father's legacy. Ok, bad example.
Then how about Chelsea Clinton, who was just hired as yet another special correspondent at NBC? Certainly she… well, I think you see where I'm going with this. Oh, did I forget to mention that Meghan McCain is an NBC News contributor as well? Another paragon of journalistic experience; just one more young person at NBC who overcame amazing odds through hard work and years of tireless effort demonstrating her excellence at her trade, right?
Unless you're speaking of all but the most menial of roles, the "America is a meritocracy" trope is a complete and utter fucking joke. Those who were born on third base will forever and always cross home plate before you do, no matter what kind of tired old Horatio Alger tales the Right wants to cling to.

*****2010 Food Crisis for Dummies*****
A Reality of Agricultural Devastation and Ruin
In this reality, the US farmers have suffered the worst harvest season ever seen. For those who have not been following the developments in the agricultural world, below are a few of extracts, in chronological order, showing the full extent of the devastation experienced by farmers during 2009's hellish harvest season. (to keep this short, I have limited it to 2 extracts per state).
[Iowa, June 29]"I'd say this year is one of the most unusual years we've had in the last 20 years," said Don Fry, executive director of the Des Moines County USDA Farm Services Agency. "Because it seems like it rains every second or third day, the ground is constantly kept wet. We've heard a lot of reports from people with wet spots turning up in fields that they and their parents ... don't ever remember being a wet spot."The combination of constant rain and cool temperatures this spring kept farm fields saturated, making planting difficult and hampering crop growth. Also, frequent rains have rinsed a portion of nitrogen fertilizers from fields and hindered the application of herbicides, all of which cuts into yields, Kester said."This spring has just been a terrible struggle," Kester said. "Anybody that mowed hay within the last three weeks probably lost their hay crop because it got wet."
[Nebraska, July 3]Lethal heat, hailstones as big as baseballs, rain seemingly without end and tornadoes, some reported to be a quarter- to a half-mile wide. After a relatively placid May, Nebraska's weather went from meek to mad in June."I don't know where that switch in the sky is, but it turned on," said Ken Dewey, an applied climatologist with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.…"It rained somewhere in Nebraska every day of the month," Dutcher said. For 25 of those days, some part of the state got more than an inch of rain; for seven of those days, some part received more than 3 inches.The Panhandle received so much rain, damage reports could end up showing that 1,000 miles of roadway were washed out, according to the Nebraska Emergency Management Agency.Widespread hail was reported across the state, with one rancher telling the National Weather Service that he found dead animals along the road. In the far western Panhandle, it hailed so much that the roads had to be plowed, as hail reached 6 to 8 inches deep.…According to the federal Farm Service Agency, some 750,000 acres of crops were damaged and a small percentage destroyed.
[Maine, July 25]This has been a bad year for dairy farmers: Milk prices have plummeted and rain has prevented them from getting onto their fields to harvest hay. Fertilizer they applied simply washed away in the rain.The longer hay grows without a cutting, the poorer the nutritional quality and the more money farmers will spend this winter to supplement it. Cornfields are rotting without enough sun or heat to ripen the plants."The season is lost," Julie Marie Bickford of the Maine Dairy Industry Association said Friday. "With milk prices so low and this feed disaster on top of it, farmers are like deer in the headlights."…Hay and corn are critical components of livestock feed, Bickford said. "This stunted corn and alfalfa is forcing farmers to purchase grain and feeds. That is a very bad situation. Prices are extremely high because of the Midwest floods earlier this year. Maine's farmers couldn't come up with a worse situation in their worst dreams."On Thursday, a 75-year-old former dairy farmer visited the Wright Place in Clinton. He recalled delivering glass bottles of milk and told Brian Wright that he never remembered a rainier summer."This is unreal," Wright said.
[Wisconsin, July 28]For Kevin Leahy, it's a total loss. He doubts any of his 600 acres — of what used to resemble corn — north of Shullsburg will be harvested.…Kamps was at home during the storm and knew his crops would be in trouble when the oak leaves around his house started falling to the ground. The wind blew a drift of hail more than 2 feet high in front of his patio door, he said."It was like a big sand blaster," Kamps said. "I've seen damage before but not near so widespread and so major. This took everything we had."
[Iowa, August 4]When hail decimated crops near Lawler and Waucoma in June, it was the worst Iowa State University Extension field agronomist Brian Lang had ever seen.Until July 24."I've never really seen bad hailed corn at tassel state and I've never seen it this bad, this widespread," Lang said. "There were 400,000 acres damaged with 10 percent totally destroyed. Even for the crop that didn't get hurt too much, this came at the worst possible time, tasseling."…"I've never seen a hail storm this big," said Julie Vulk, Farm Service Agency executive director in Winneshiek County and interim director in Fayette County. "It's just hard to wrap your brain around it."Vulk estimated that 50 percent of farmers don't have insurance.[Iowa was then hit by another devastating hail storm on August 9]
[New York, Aug 14]WEST WINFIELD - A panel of political representatives and aides sat for over three hours at a rally Friday in Mount Markham Middle School gym as over 200 upstate New York dairy farmers pleaded for action on a range of issues crippling their industry.One after another dairy farmers and others involved in the industry took a microphone to berate county, state and federal representatives from throughout the region.Some were brought to tears describing their inability to make a living, a few simply screamed in frustration and others demanded answers. But the dire situation facing the men and women speaking was painfully clear."We are in a disaster," declared Ken Dibbell, of Chenango County.…"The people who feed the nation can't feed themselves," Gretchen Maine, a dairy farmer from Waterville, "what's wrong this picture."…The time frames for both solutions seemed in contrast from farmers need for help, with many emotionally explaining they have either already abandon businesses or are on the brink."I don't think they get the message yet," Tewksbury said, referring politicians unaware of the uncharacteristic display of emotions from prideful farmers. They don't have until 2010. They have the next couple of months to decide if they can stay in business, he said.
[Texas, August 14]Texas state climatologist John Nielsen-Gammon said Friday that at least nine of the 254 counties in Texas — the nation's most drought-stricken state — are suffering through their driest conditions since modern record-keeping began in 1895.Making matters worse are the relentless 100-degree days across the southern portion of Texas that has been under drought conditions since September 2007.The impact has been felt most by farmers and ranchers in the nation's No. 2 agriculture-producing state. Texas officials estimate statewide crop and livestock losses from the drought at $3.6 billion."We've had some dry spells, but not as bad as this," said Rod Santa Ana with the Texas AgriLife Extension Service. "It hurts bad. A lot of these cotton fields didn't even come up. It's just bare ground. You'd never know cotton was even planted there."
[Wyoming, August 21]That's little comfort to David Kane, a rancher near Sheridan, Wyo., who said the grasshoppers on his ranch are the worst they've been in more than 20 years. Kane already sold off part of his herd because the pests ate his cows' food."They're devastating," Kane said. "They were so bad here on the ranch that we sprayed our meadows because the second-cutting of alfalfa wouldn't green up because they were eating it as fast as it was trying to grow."
[Wyoming, September 10]The Big Horn Basin dry bean harvest is beginning, but cool, rainy weather and diseases have taken tolls on yield.Mike Moore, manager of the University of Wyoming Seed Certification Service, said his agency is just starting windrow inspections, and some fields are not doing well."It's sort of tough out there right now," he said. The only area that seems less affected by disease is the far southern end of the Big Horn Basin, Moore said. His inspectors have found blight and mold around Powell, Byron, Emblem and Burlington."It doesn't look like location is going to allow you to escape it," he said.
[Texas, September 23]Bruce Wetzel has been a farmer in Sherman all his life, learning from his father back in the 1960's.He's seen all the ups and downs of producing wheat and corn in Texoma, and he says this was one of the worst years for corn.…"All the rain we got back in April and May, we got 20 inches of rain in a two week period there, really just damaged our corn. Our corn just never quite recovered from too much water," said Wetzel.Wetzel says he lost about 50% of his wheat and corn crops this harvest season, a trend that farmers are experiencing across Texoma.
[New Jersey, September 26]"The rains have just killed me this year," said Tucker Gant, 51, a vegetable and fruit farmer in Elk, who estimates his total losses this year at nearly $220,000.…"Nobody has ever seen rain as drastic as this year, even talking to old-time farmers," said Grasso, a third-generation farmer who estimates losses so far at roughly $50,000.…"It's never been that bad as far as I can remember," said Gant, pointing to water pooling in a field as he drove his pickup truck along a bumpy dirt trail toward 35 acres of barley overrun by tall weeds. "I have never seen water lay there more than two days. It should have been harvested, but you can't harvest weeds taller than barley."
[North Dakota, October 5]North Dakota`s wet spring and summer is being followed by a wet and snowy fall.Two snowstorms have already turned the ground in much of the state white, and while the early snows will melt before winter sets in, many farmers may not get row crops harvested before the seasons change again, unless Mother Nature provides them with some dry weather.In North Dakota, it is common to see autumn snow coat the state`s sunflower and corn crops, but acres and acres of soybeans covered in white is an unusual sight. October snowstorms have stopped many of the state`s combines right in their tracks, delaying the harvest of many late season crops.…Precipitation totals in some areas of North Dakota have already surpassed yearly averages, but farmers are more concerned about wet weather damaging the condition of the soybean crop than corn and sunflowers.
[Louisiana, October 8]Three weeks of heavy rains are threatening northeastern Louisiana's soybean, sweet potato and cotton crops, some of which have already shown significant deterioration in the fields."It's killing us," said Ouachita Parish producer Gary Mathes. "We cut some beans a week ago that we had to sell at a salvage price of $3 a bushel."…"We fought a short corn crop, but we had one heck of a bean crop and the rain is taking it away from us," Mathes said.Venoy Kinnaird said his farm has been drenched by about 20 inches of rain since Sept. 12."I've got some beans that I won't cut; they're not salvageable," Kinnaird said. "And I've got some sweet potatoes that are halfway out of the ground. Cotton has taken a terrible hit, too, even though we don't have that much planted around here this year."We're absolutely waterlogged. What's really bad is we're coming off of a disaster last fall."
[Nebraska, Minnesota, October 12]Weekend snow may have dealt a heavy blow to prospects for soybean harvest in Nebraska and other nearby states.Weather adversity could shave as much as 200 million to 300 million bushels from expectations for a 3.25 billion bushel crop nationally, a Nebraska soybean official said Monday."Our part of the country got snow," said Victor Bohuslavsky of the Nebraska Soybean Board Monday. "And I talked to people in Minnesota this morning and they hadn't hardly started harvest and they were blasted with snow."
[Louisiana, October 17]Northeastern Louisiana farmers finally saw the sun Friday afternoon, but it might be too late to save the bulk of the soybean, cotton and sweet potato crops."It's pitiful," said Caldwell Parish producer Drew Keahey. "I think it's going to be worse than last year."…But some parishes, like Morehouse, have received more than 30 inches of rain since Sept. 12, literally drowning crops that were mature and ready for harvest when the rain began.…Soybeans may have suffered the most, producers said."There will be a lot of beans that never come out of the field," Keahey said.
[Northern Kansas, October 16]Harvest so far has been about as awful as the new Bob Dylan Christmas album.Typically USDA's November yield forecasts increase, but this is not a typical year, as freezing weather has dinged yields and caused major crop quality problems.A colleague of mine sent me some snapshots of an Iowa farm that had seven inches of snow last Saturday. Northern Kansas had over 10 inches of snow.
[Mississippi, October 21]Corn will suffer from quality issues. Soybeans will have significant quality and yield losses if harvested. Rice will suffer quality and yield losses with much of the crop is on the ground. Cotton crop will suffer yield and quality losses and cottonseed will have essentially no value.…Bolstering this is a fact-sheet released the week of Oct. 12 by Delta Council. The release says, "Large areas of the Mississippi Delta have received 15 to 20 inches of rain over the last 30 days with many areas receiving 25 to 40 inches of rainfall over the past 60 days since Aug. 15. In places this is anywhere from 400 to over 600 percent of normal."The Delta Council release also quotes Steve Martin, interim head of the Delta Research and Extension Center (DREC) in Stoneville, Miss.: "Crop conditions are rapidly deteriorating. The USDA weather service at Stoneville reports that October has seen the second highest level of rainfall ever recorded (record was set in 1941).
[Illinois, November 2]The autumn monsoons are hard to figure, said Benjamin Sittrell, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service office in suburban St. Louis."Typically during the late-year period, it's our driest portion of the year," Sittrell said. "To see such astronomically high amounts of precipitation, where we got several inches above the previous record levels, is very abnormal.Sittrell said thousands of acres of farmland are under water, particularly in the flat areas of southern and western Illinois, where the Illinois, Ohio and Kaskaskia rivers are among several that are flooding.
[Arkansas, November 4]On Monday and Tuesday, Gus Wilson, Chicot County Extension staff chairman for the University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture, made the rounds, visiting farmers and getting a first-hand look at what record rain has left of crops in the state's southeastern most county.…"It's bleak," Wilson said. "It's going to really hurt these poor Delta counties because here, agriculture is all that we've got."Earlier this season, the harvest outlook was promising."In September, I was pretty happy with what I was seeing in the fields," he said. "Now we are going to be lucky to make half a crop compared to the last couple of years, all because of the weather.""Seven or eight weeks ago, we were looking at 1,100- to 1,200-pound cotton" lint yield per acre, Wilson said. "Now we're 500 to 600 pounds."The soybeans are just as bad. Back in September, "we had a good soybean crop. The yield was there," he said. "We have lost at least 60 percent to 80 percent due to the weather.""Our rice is going to be half," Wilson said.…"This is the worst I've ever seen and I've been a county agent for eight years and around farming all my life," Wilson said.
[Alabama, Georgia, north Florida, November 6]Alabama Commissioner of Agriculture Ron Sparks is calling it a "potential crisis" — the rainy weather conditions throughout most of September and October that have frustrated growers who were eyeing pretty good cotton, peanut, soybean and corn crops.The same holds true for producers in Georgia and north Florida, where harvest has been delayed by almost continuous rainfall, during what is usually the driest months of the year."Prior to September, many producers were expecting to harvest a bumper crop and were very optimistic for the upcoming harvest season," says Sparks. "Uncommon and unfavorable precipitation during September and October have degraded various crops and caused poor harvesting conditions, which caused the harvest to be behind schedule by around four to six weeks."The major crops affected by the recent rainfall are cotton, soybeans, corn and peanuts, says the Commissioner. "Reports indicate that our state is in dire need of dry weather within the next two weeks, which may eliminate a potential state disaster [Area was then hit by 5+ inches of rains from Topical Storm Ida]," he said in early November. "Producers are already suffering from heavy September and October rainfall and dry conditions will not eliminate damage that has already taken place to crops across the state. Many producers are experiencing a sharp decrease in crop yield, lower grading, and crop damage from recent rainfall."…"The bottom line is that Alabama producers are uncertain as to what the commodity markets will bring forth and where agriculture in our state is going," says Sparks. "The recent weather conditions over the past two months will definitely have a negative impact on Alabama's crop harvest."…William Birdsong, agronomist at the Wiregrass Research and Extension Center in southwest Alabama, reported that wet and rainy conditions continued to delay harvest for row crops. Cotton yields and lint quality continued to suffer as a result of the wet conditions, he said. Less than 5 percent had been harvested in his area, and this could go down as the worst crop in years if the rain does not subside.
[Alabama, November 10]What had started as a good season for cotton could be a complete loss for some farmers if heavy rains hit fields before harvest, said Richard Petcher, agent with the Alabama Cooperative Extension Service."It's been a 30 percent loss so far in southwest Alabama, and more rain could make it 40 to 50 percent," Petcher said Monday. "Some fields are already a 100 percent loss." Financial damage from Ida could be in the millions of dollars for Alabama farmers, he said. Rains have delayed harvests by about three weeks affecting not only cotton but also leaving some peanut crops vulnerable to early frosts."The majority of the cotton crop is still in the fields," he said. "Peanuts are about 60 percent harvested. There's been concern about rain, but now it's almost panic."Soybeans have also been hurt by rain, with crops rotting and sprouting in the fields, Petcher said.
[Illinois, November 12]"I've been doing this for 30 years and I've never seen a year like this," said Ron Waldschmidt, a vice president with farm equipment dealer A.C. McCartney in Wataga, Illinois."It's not unusual in any given year to have wet conditions, or maybe a variety that tends to mold, or maybe the moisture is a little bit high. But this year, you've got it all," he said.
[Arkansas, November 12]On Nov. 4, Gus Wilson took a sample of soybeans with 100 percent damage."It was the first time I've seen that," says the Chicot County, Ark., Extension staff chair. "The situation here is bad, bleak. We'll be lucky to make half the crop we've made in the last three to four years. That's strictly due to the weather."Chicot County in extreme southeast Arkansas has caught huge rains all fall. Now, watching crops deteriorate, Wilson says he's not seen "a group of growers who've been more discouraged. Those who were planning to plant wheat may be out of luck. If there's wheat planted and emerged in Chicot County, I don't know where it's at."…Faced with a seemingly unceasing deluge in 2009, veteran farmers are struggling to come up with a similar year in the past."My father is 82 years old and he's farmed 55 to 60 years," says Wilson. "He says this is the worst harvest season he's ever seen. Out of his career, he said only one year comes close — he can't remember if it was in the late 1950s or early 1960s.
[Virginia, November 17]Last week's torrential rainfalls have caused damage and delays to some Virginia farm crops, but the extent of losses is unknown, some agriculture experts said yesterday.Several crops that were recently planted or still in the fields were hurt by the widespread, three-day deluge, including winter wheat, barley and soybeans, said Molly Payne Pugh, executive director of the Virginia Grain Producers Association."There is definitely going to be damage," Pugh said. "I don't have a good feel for how much yet. Right now, we are assessing."
[Mississippi, November 23]On the dashboard of his truck, Allen C. Evans III, a farmer near Clarksdale, has a sheaf of receipts from the grain elevator, showing the damage levels of each load of soybeans: 39.9 percent, 67.9 percent, 51.8 percent. A born fretter, he is afraid to call, he said, to find out the final reckoning of the disastrous season."You're just kind of walking around like a zombie," Mr. Evans said, "saying, never could I have guessed that the best crop I've ever raised in my entire life - the one I never worried about - of all the crops to have taken away from us, how can this be the one?"In the Delta, those elevator receipts have become talismans of the times. Michael Patterson, who helps pay for his farming with the proceeds from his grain hauling company, displayed one showing a farmer who brought in 1,110 bushels of soybeans, but got paid for 11. The rest were damaged.That farmer was distraught, Mr. Patterson said."You don't want to be the generation," he said, "that loses the family farm."

Tehran • After Iran was invited to — and then disinvited from — a peace conference on Syria within the space of 24 hours, Iranian officials and commentators said Tuesday that it was the attendees who would be missing out.
U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon had issued the invitation to the meeting, scheduled to begin Wednesday in Geneva, after a phone call Sunday from Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif. The semiofficial Fars news agency dismissed the quickly withdrawn invitation as "a ridiculous comedy play written by Western scenarists." A member of Iran's parliament called it "a plot" to trick Tehran into dropping its support for Syrian President Bashar Assad.
Ban's invitation had angered Syrian opposition groups and U.S. officials, who quickly reiterated their position that Iran would have to accept the goal of the conference: the establishment of a transitional government in Syria, something the Iranians have long opposed.
Iran supports the Syrian government and Hezbollah — the Lebanese Shiite militia — while bitterly opposing America's main allies in the region, Israel and Saudi Arabia. Iran has supported Assad with money, military equipment and advisers and, some rebel leaders say, also with fighters, while allowing Hezbollah to step in and help the Syrian president at a critical juncture in the conflict.
Nonetheless, one expert said that without Iran the upcoming conference would fail.
"The U.S. knows very well that if ever the day comes that Bashar al-Assad needs to go quietly, Iran is the only country capable of achieving that," said Mashallah Shamsolvaezin, an Iranian journalist who specializes in Arab affairs.

SPOKANE, Wash. – A judge set bail on Wednesday afternoon at $10,000 for the man accused of creating a bomb scare at the Hilton Garden Inn Tuesday morning.
Authorities said around 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday, officers responded to a report of a bomb threat at the hotel near Spokane International Airport. Investigators were told a man had entered the hotel earlier that morning and wandered around the lobby for several hours. Officials said the man, later identified as David J. Maslo, 44, was told to leave the property for being disruptive. When the man eventually left, witnesses said Maslo indicated that there was a bomb in the backpack he had left in the lobby of the building.
As a precaution, guests at the hotel were evacuated while a bomb squad was called in to investigate. Technicians inspected the backpack and found there were no explosives inside, according to police.
Police said officers located the suspect at a restaurant near the hotel. They arrested Maslo and booked him into the Spokane County Jail for Threats to Bomb or Injure Property.
Upon further investigation, Spokane Police Department officers said they learned Maslo had a flight reservation earlier in the day. However, he was asked to leave and escorted out of the airport due to disruptive behavior according to officers. He was contacted by Airport Police and left the location.

QualityHealth Home > Diet & Weight Loss Health Center > 10 Reasons to Eat Breakfast
10 Reasons to Eat Breakfast
By Katelyn DieffenderferReviewed by QualityHealth's Medical Advisory Board
When you're hitting the snooze button for the third time, breakfast is probably one of the last things on your mind. After all, you still have to shower and then race to work in time to make that presentation. But according to experts, letting a hectic schedule force you to skip breakfast could compromise your health.
Breakfast Benefits
The next time you're considering skipping the most important meal of the day, think about the following reasons to get back on track.
- Food that fuels. A healthy breakfast provides you with enough nutrients to energize your body for hours.
- Healthier eating habits. Studies have shown that people who eat breakfast consume more vitamins, minerals, and fiber, and less fat and cholesterol.
- Calorie cutting. People who don't eat breakfast are likely to eat more calories throughout the day than people who skip lunch, according to the Nemours Foundation's Center for Children's Health and Media.
- Reduced diabetes risk. People who eat breakfast are significantly less likely to be diabetic than those who usually don't, according to the American Heart Association.
- Weight control. A study by the National Weight Control Registry shows that eating breakfast actually helps keep people's weight down.
- Increased focus. According to the American Dietetic Association, people who eat breakfast are better able to concentrate and be more productive throughout the morning.
- Enhanced memory. According to experts, eating breakfast improves memory and learning. In one study, college students who ate a morning meal scored 22 percent higher in a word-recall test than those who skipped breakfast.
- Better fitness. Researchers believe that people who eat breakfast have higher energy levels and may engage in more physical activity than people who don't.
- Improved mood. Skipping breakfast can make you feel tired, irritable, or sad. Even grabbing some fresh fruit or a bowl of cereal can help boost your mood.
- Stress reduction. The time you spend eating breakfast can be relaxing and help you to mentally prepare for the day. Eating breakfast also forces you to slow down, helping you to prioritize.
Keep in mind, however, that all breakfasts are not created equal—a healthy morning meal should be balanced and not too heavy. So, skip the eggs, bacon, sausage, and biscuits, and go for whole-grain cereals with fruit or juice instead. Or opt for an egg-white omelet filled with vegetables.

November 2009
Intermountain Healthcare Clinical Genetics Institute, Oncology Services and Pathology Services are initiating routine immunohistochemistry staining for four mismatch repair proteins, MLH1, MSH2, MSH6 and PMS2 associated with Lynch Syndrome (LS) on all colorectal cancer resection specimens.
Almost half of individuals were missed when age, pathology or family history were used to identify LS. An exhaustive review of the literature supports that immunohistochemistry screening of the four mismatch repair genes detects at least 91% of patients with LS and directs DNA testing to the specific mismatch repair genes. Knowing the specific DNA mutation allows for testing of unaffected relatives in order to discuss initiating early endoscopic screening to detect and treat patients before they present with cancer. Based on the early and significant cancer risk, screening is recommended to start in the mid-twenties in mutation carriers.
A recent meta-analysis pooled data from 32 studies with 7,642 cases and found the hazard ratio for overall survival in patients whose tumors have high microsatellite instability is 0.65. In this review, two studies were identified that assessed benefit of 5-FU in stage II or III colorectal cancer patients by microsatellite instability status. Patients without microsatellite instability benefited significantly from 5-FU (HR=0.72), while patients with microsatellite instability did not benefit from 5-FU (HR=1.24).
Several pathologists have been involved in the review of this research. The pathologist involved with the colorectal tumor case will choose a tumor block from each colorectal cancer resection to send to ARUP for MMRSCR: Mismatch Repair Protein Immunohistochemistry screening. ARUP offers a technical bulletin at their website.
The cancer genetic counselor at Intermountain Healthcare will follow-up on all abnormal IHC results with information provided directly to patients and to their healthcare providers. Articles regarding the research referenced above are available if requested.

Can I get a debt collector to stop pulling my credit reports?
A woman discovers that even though a case against her has been dismissed, a debt collector continues to check her credit. Is there anything she can do about it?
A Credit.com reader, Lori, wanted to know if a debt collector could continue to pull her credit even after a small-claims case had been dismissed. She had successfully had the information removed from her credit reports, but the collection agency, which now had no case against her, had pulled her credit twice since the case was dismissed. Her question: Is that legal?
The answer is simple, according to Chi Chi Wu, an attorney with the National Consumer Law Center: No. In the organization's legal manual "Fair Credit Reporting," it says:
Even in the case of credit accounts, collection is not a permissible purpose for obtaining a consumer report once the account is no longer collectible.
Making the debt collectors stop checking, however, may not be easy. Lori may need to to complain to regulators and/or hire an attorney, Wu said. She can submit a complaint to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, or she could look for a lawyer (the National Association of Consumer Advocates has a list on its website).
But Lori has already done a couple of things right. First, she has seen copies of her free annual credit reports, and she disputed negative information and successfully had it deleted.
Checking credit reports is something all of us should do, whether or not we've had to deal with debt collectors. The reports can contain errors, and some can be serious. You don't want to find out about an error when you get turned down for credit and/or you discover your credit scores have dropped. (You can get two credit scores for free every month using the Credit Report Card. An unexplained change in scores can clue you in to a problem that might need to be addressed, so keeping an eye on them is smart.)
Credit reports can look intimidating, but there are guides to help you make sense of them, and checking your reports can be the best way to find out who else has seen them, and when.

Since when has the majority of debt collection agencies abided by the law?
This article is more proof that the criminal justice system is just that: the CRIMINAL justice system. Law-abiding citizens have very little rights and/or protection. The existing laws make it damn near impossible to get protection from those that refuse to obey the law.
