West Side Stories
A Tosa resident for almost 20 years, Karen is a mom and freelance writer, addicted to playing tennis. When not on the tennis court, she spends the fall and winter in the stands at Green Bay Packer and Marquette basketball games.
Karen is the author of "Grab a Bite," a dining out column and the former community columnist for the Wauwatosa NOW newspaper.
Playoff Fever Inspires Song
Like many people throughout Wisconsin, we've definitely got Packer playoff fever in our house. It's been a few years since we've even wanted to think about NFL football in January. (On a side note, thankfully, the NFL hasn't yet ruled that thinking about football requires a license, although, in his defense, Roger Goodell is just getting started at his commissioner job. Give him time to figure that out.)
In any case, Saturday is the big playoff game between the Packers and the Seahawks and in anticipation of that, a friend of ours from Green Bay, Randy Stary, has written a song called "Rock to the Big Game." (We're not going to say the "SB" words here!) You can listen to the song here.
This infectious rock/country tune will get stuck in your head for hours and hopefully we'll all be happily singing this on Saturday night!
The nice part of this story is that Randy decided that download purchases of this song would benefit Catholic Charities. Then, Randy's co-workers stepped up to the plate and donated $3,000 so that the first 3,000 downloads are free. That's right a good deal for a good cause that will only last until word gets out.
And this is going to be one very popular song in the next couple of days. Randy will be on WTMJ – 620 am at 7:00 am, Thursday, January 10th. He's already been on Fox News up in Green Bay which you can see here. He also put together a fan video using the song as a soundtrack. You can see that here.
You're probably thinking to yourself: "Gee Karen. This is a great story, but what's the local angle?" Well, Randy is a Marquette graduate, so when he's not cheering on the Green and Gold, he's cheering on the Blue and Gold. That's a fine color combination in my book.
Enjoy! Oh and Go Pack Go!

My oldest daughter leaves for college in a few weeks, so she is in the process of making her lists of what to bring, what to buy and what to do before she takes the next big step.
I'm making a similar list of all of the things I need to say to her and all the financial chores that need to be done before she heads off to school.
Truth be told, almost every adult I know has some financial horror story they lived through during their college years. In many cases, the horror only became apparent years later, when they were trying to start a family but were still paying off the excesses of college life.
Accordingly, long before my daughter started the process of picking a school, my wife and I tried to establish the ground rules — the things we plan to pay for and the things we expect her to cover. The basic decision of who pays for what typically is based on the family's circumstances, rather than on some magic formula.
My daughter has bought her own movie and theater tickets for years, so she's not suddenly expecting me to pick up the tab on entertainment costs. Likewise, she knows that if the family is paying for a meal plan — and we are — it's not our responsibility if she decides to enjoy the local burger joint. And she's still on my cell-phone plan, although I'm still not paying for silly games or ridiculous ringtones.
Here are the three big things on my to-do list before my daughter heads for school:
• Check with health and dental insurance providers, to learn their rules.
Effective September 2010, as part of the health care reform law, parents can keep children on their plan up to the age of 26. That makes it possible to use your own plan rather than using a college-sponsored plan.
Prior to the change in the law, college students often lost their coverage at age 19 (and my daughter turns 19 before her freshman year is over) or upon graduation from high school or college. The White House asked insurers to make sure there were no coverage gaps for new college students, so many companies are actually providing the extended coverage prior to the September start date, making sure kids who go off to school in August don't face an unpleasant surprise.
That said, having a child on your health plan may not make the most sense. Some insurers won't allow for out-of-town doctor visits, would require your student to pick a new primary-care physician in their college town or don't extend prescription coverage beyond your home area.
Know the rules so you don't get stuck with surprise out-of-pocket expenses. Meanwhile, check with the college or university to see if it offers a plan for students, and what that protection actually covers. Compare both coverage and premiums, then let your child know what they need to consider if they have a health issue.
If your student is going to be responsible for their own medical coverage, you might suggest they find a job with benefits, although that can be an awful lot to ask of a full-time college student.
• Check property insurance coverage. I've always made my children responsible for breaking their own technology; I'm not replacing the cell phone you dropped in the toilet.
That said, I want to know which of my kids' items might be covered on my property insurance so I can decide if renter's insurance is worth buying. To know, I will also have to get an idea of just what items my daughter is bringing to school.
Find out if the school has a policy that covers casualty losses in the dorms. Most don't, but some help students establish an insurance plan that covers their dorm room, a car (if they bring one) and health care.
• Check the credit report.
Consumers are allowed one free credit report from each of the major credit bureaus every year. This is a case where a review at the beginning, middle and end of the school year makes sense. (You can get your free report online at annualcreditreport.com, the official site established by the credit bureaus to comply with the law.) With my daughter, I'm not expecting to find much there. Still, I want to know she starts with a clean record and I'd like to be aware of changes — if she comes to me for any credit counseling — over time.
The good news is the Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility and Disclosure (CARD) Act that went into place last year prohibits applicants younger than 21 from obtaining a credit card unless they can prove they have the financial means to pay the bills. That means they'll need a pay stub or a bank statement; it's not as simple as walking across campus and signing up with some slick salesperson giving away free T-shirts and balloons.
To begin building a credit record for your child, or to give a card that can be used for emergencies, books or whatever expenses you and your kid agree to, you will have to co-sign for a credit card. If you co-sign your child's card, you are jointly liable and your own credit might suffer if your child doesn't pay the bill on time. This is why some parents will get a card where the bill comes to the family home rather than the dorm room.

text: By Chris Kudialis, Contributing Reporter RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – With an estimated 4,000 to 6,000 combined residents, the neighboring morros (hills) of Cantagalo and Pavão-Pavãozinho offer picturesque views of Copacabana Beach and an ideal location between several of Rio de Janeiro's most popular tourist destinations. Pacified in December 2009, the favela communities were early models of Rio's Police Pacifying Unit (UPP) program between 2010-2013. Cantagalo is a favela community perched on the steep hill behind Ipanema, photo by Revaz Ardesher/Flickr Creative Commons License. Yet a turbulent 2014 marked with gunfire, violence and multiple murders has highlighted growing discontent with UPP occupation, and sent previously skyrocketing real estate prices slingshot back down to earth. From early 2010 to the end of 2013, both favela residents and Residents' Association functionaries describe Cantagalo and Pavão-Pavãozinho as relatively safe and pleasant places to live. Governed by drug trafficking units before pacification, the favelas saw a drastic reduction in drug distribution after UPP took over. "It was calm here for several years," Larissa Nascimento, a lifelong Cantagalo resident, said to The Rio Times. "Not everybody trusted the police, but there was less violence after (the UPP) came in." Nascimento, 35, is one of several registered Cantagalo home owners to see their real estate values skyrocket over the past few years. Her two-bedroom home, once valued at R$20,000 as recently as 2009, valued as much as R$90,000 during the favela's real estate peak in summer 2013. "Last year, just about everything was worth $80,000 or more," said Luiz Bezerra, president of Cantagalo's Associação de Moradores (Residents' Association), "Most places here were worth three or four times their pre-pacification values." New buildings continue to be constructed in the Pavão-Pavãozinho favela community, photo by Caoscarioca/Flickr Creative Commons License. 2014 brought change to the favelas as tension between occupying UPP patrol and residents escalated. Though gunfire was reportedly exchanged as early as January, an April 22 clash between police and drug trafficking groups resulted in the death of 26-year-old Douglas Rafael da Silva Pereira, a professional television dancer and resident of Pavão-Pavãozinho. A resulting protest of Pereira's death made international headlines the next morning, as residents set fire and showered homemade explosives onto Rua Sá Ferreira, a main road near one of the favela entrances. In an exchange of gunfire with police, at least one additional favela resident was killed and another injured. The incident and negative press helped drop Cantagalo and Pavão-Pavãozinho real estate prices to near pre-pacification levels, says Bezerra. A home that valued at R$80,000 in 2013 now values between R$40,000-$50,000, he said. Though several Rio favelas hosted deal-seeking international fans during the 2014 FIFA World Cup, realtors at a local Nova Aliança real estate office say April's events made renting out homes in Cantagalo and Pavão-Pavãozinho nearly impossible for residents. "Most World Cup visitors were keeping up with news here in the months before the games started," said an executive realtor at Nova Aliança, speaking on condition of anonymity per company policy. "And when they heard 'Cantagalo and Pavão-Pavãozinho,' they immediately associated these communities with that incident." The Nova Aliança representative says international investment has tailed off as well, at least temporarily. Though she once received up to 10-15 combined phone calls and inquiries per week from international investors, the representative says that number has now declined to roughly 3 to 5 calls per week. Cantagalo and Pavão-Pavãozinho aren't the only so-called "pacified" favelas to deal with recent violence. In July, the popular Vidigal favela also saw a downward dent in its real estate market following the murder of hostel owner Mille Ballai. "At the end of the day our neighborhoods still have their problems," said Nascimento. "They aren't where we need them to be yet. And people wanting to buy here should understand that." 2 Responses to "Real Estate Prices Fall in Cantagalo, Pavão-Pavãozinho" Pingback: Cyclist Stabbed at Rio's Lagoa, Died from his Injuries | The Rio Times | Brazil News Pingback: Morro do Cantagalo Jazz Festival | The Rio Times | Brazil News Leave a Reply Cancel Reply Your email address will not be published.

Stephen Hill walked slowly through the Jets locker room today, carrying a knee brace in his hand. An LCL sprain in Jacksonville has left him sidelined from practice and unable to participate today.
The wide receiver was hurt jumping for a pass against the Jaguars. "It was weird the way it happened," he recounted. He now says that he is day-to-day, but told The Star-Ledger that it is not the plan for him to play Monday night in Tennessee.
His knee injury has not been given a grade, just that he will be day-to-day until he heals. He has undergone rehab and treatment this week.
Hill believes that the possibility of him playing will likely depending on his pain tolerance, not dependent on if game-action will make the injury worse -- though he sounded unsure.
"I don't know if I can make it worse or not," Hill said today. "I haven't asked. Other than that, it's one of those …I really don't know. They haven't given me a set time or anything. Just day by day.."
Hill has already missed two games this season with a hamstring injury, in a year in which he has caught 21 passes for 252 yards and three touchdowns.

Coronary artery compression due to implantation of a transcatheter pulmonary valve can be catastrophic and is often associated with abnormal anatomy, according to a study published online September 24, 2013, ahead of print in Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions. To avoid this potential complication, the authors recommend that diagnostic angioplasty be performed in all such patients.
Thomas K. Jones, MD, of Seattle Children's Hospital (Seattle, WA), and colleagues retrospectively analyzed 404 patients with a right ventricular outflow tract conduit or bioprosthetic pulmonary valve who underwent 407 catheterizations at 4 centers between January 2007 and February 2012. In total, 343 (85%) patients were implanted with the Melody pulmonary valve (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN).
Compression Risk Tied to Anatomy
Twenty-one (4.7%) cases of coronary artery compression were observed with simultaneous right ventricular outflow tract angioplasty and coronary artery angiography. Abnormal anatomy was found in 68 (17%) patients overall and led to an increased risk of coronary artery compression compared with patients with normal anatomy (22% vs. 1.8%; P < 0.001). In particular, patients with abnormal anatomy and either tetralogy of Fallot or transposition of the great arteries were at increased risk compared to the remainder of the population (P < 0.001 for both).
Patients with compression were more likely to have abnormal anatomy than those without the complication (71% vs. 14%; P < 0.001). Also, the proportion of patients in the compression group with transposition of the great arteries was higher than that of patients in the noncompression group (33% vs. 8%; P < 0.001).
Test Angioplasty for All
"This relatively high frequency of a potentially life-threatening risk highlights the importance of evaluating the [coronary arteries] thoroughly in every prospective [transcatheter pulmonary valve] replacement procedure," Dr. Jones and colleagues write. "Patients with abnormal [coronary artery] anatomy are more likely to be excluded because of risk of [coronary artery] compression. Patients with [tetralogy of Fallot] and an anomalous left [coronary artery] branch arising from the right [coronary artery] are at the highest risk of coronary compression, although this anatomic variation is not always associated with [compression] and should not be considered an absolute contraindication to [transcatheter pulmonary valve] replacement."
Robert J. Sommer, MD, of Columbia University Medical Center (New York, NY), called the study "confirmatory." He told TCTMD in a telephone interview that the large series of patients gives helpful information on how to conduct proper screening going forward.
"[The paper includes an image] of compression of a left coronary artery which looked like it was really far away from the conduit," he observed. "It underscores the importance of actually testing with a balloon, doing angioplasty to stretch the conduit, . . . rather than just assuming that because the coronaries are far away there's going to be no issue."
Over time, "test balloon angioplasty of the [conduit] with simultaneous [coronary artery] angiography seems to be the most accurate way to simulate the changes that will occur with valve implantation," the authors add.
Risk Inherent to Valve Implantation
Recognition of this complication is not new, Dr. Sommer noted. "People that do this procedure are very aware of it, but it's important just to get the word out because as these devices become approved and more available, more people are going to be doing this. It's part of the learning curve. People shouldn't have to have complications when we know exactly what we're dealing with already," he said.
Furthermore, the authors emphasize the importance of preimplantation dynamic compression testing. But because this approach is not infallible, "proceed with caution if faced with a potentially high-risk situation," they write, adding that future research may help identify other methods of predicting and evaluating compression in potential percutaneous valve recipients.
Lastly, the problem will not disappear with new, different devices, including the Sapien valve (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, CA), which Dr. Sommer reported is being tested in the pulmonary position. "It has nothing to do with the valve," he explained. "It has to do with the transformation, the reshaping of the valve from a flat structure to a round structure and it taking up more space and compressing the heart posterior."
Study Details
The median age of patients was 18 years and the most common diagnosis was tetralogy of Fallot (56%).

It was a beautiful thing to watch. Even in a home all the way in Ohio I felt it. I could see just how great it felt for the player and with the volume up to 11; you could hear it in Bryant Denny Stadium. Everyone who saw it felt a relief wash over them as Julio Jones raced down the sidelines for a touchdown.
A relief because Alabama was now back in control of the football game, but an even bigger relief to see a player of Jones' quality finally make that big play we all expect of him. That was the kind of play Alabama fans were drooling over on youtube during the recruiting process.
I apologize to Julio Jones. After the key dropped pass that set up LSU's safety, I doubted him. I was watching with my friend and say that maybe Julio just isn't that good and then goes and erases what doubts any of us had and lead to its most important victory of the season.
The game itself was a classic. Two SEC giants trading blows back and forth. LSU gave a valiant effort to be sure, but when you boil it down they just did not make the plays to win, but made plenty of mental errors.
Let's be quite clear about this. The officials did not win or lose this game for anyone. The incomplete pass call that some thought was an interception will just go down in history like the 2004 "pass interference no-call". Games never truly come down to one play or one call for that matter.
The real reason for Alabama's win was the dominance of their offensive line. The holes they were opening for Mark Ingram were impressive and once he finds an opening, well, he's not a Heisman candidate for no reason. He shredded a very good defense yesterday and truly paced the Tide offense.
So here we are with three games remaining. All contests Alabama will be favored in. The match-up everyone wants has been penciled in. The only question is will it be for just the SEC championship or also, a place in the BCS title game? There are no promises in the SEC, but I truly believe neither Alabama nor Florida will lose their focus.

PAW PAW, MI -- Van Buren County employees may one day be able to charge their electric cars at work.
County Administrator Douglas Cultra told the Van Buren County Board of Commissioners last week that he'd be contacting electrical suppliers for charging stations for electric cars near or at county buildings. The matter came up because an employee of the South Haven District Court has been charging her car at that courthouse.
Cultra said he'd agreed to the request by Laura Canaan to charge her Chevrolet Volt at the courthouse in an effort to be green, but since then he'd had second thoughts.
"I'm happy to pay Van Buren County for the electric I use," Canaan told county commissioners. She calculated the cost at 17 cents a day or $36 a year, with no vacations.
Canaan said in May she saved 65 gallons of gas in her daily work commute from Holland, but her battery capacity leaves her 10 miles short of the making the round trip and that a Consumers Energy charging station is two miles away from the courthouse.
She suggested the county could install a charging station for other employees who have electric cars.
The situation generated 20 minutes of discussion at the county board's June 11 meeting on coming up with a policy for such charging stations. Complicating the matter is that the county doesn't pay taxes on electricity it buys.
In the meantime until a policy can be written, commissioners decided that Canaan can continue charging her car at the courthouse, since she already had gotten permission. Dissenting was Commissioner John "Mike" Henry, who preferred to forbid her until the policy was set.

Wilson is the latest high school in Portland Public Schools to begin a community fundraising effort to install artificial turf on its football field.
The Wilson Fields Improvement Project began in July with the goal of raising $1.2 million to build a field by the fall of 2013. The movement, which got a boost with a $77,000 pledge from the PPS Great Fields Project, has intensified its fundraising effort in the last six weeks with a community awareness campaign.
"We don't have a dollar amount earmarked for that community support, but once we get X amount of dollars, we will go to corporate sponsors," said Angela Duarte, a Wilson parent and a member of the project's committee. "We've identified about 10 large corporate sponsors that have donated to other PPS fields to help close the gap on the amount that is needed."
Lincoln, Roosevelt, Benson and Cleveland have artificial turf football fields. Other than Wilson, school communities at Grant and Franklin also are raising money for artificial turf.
Wilson's project organizers have set up a website (wilsonfields.org) and Facebook page (Wilson Fields Improvement Project) to provide information and announce events and special promotions. Duarte said the project is attempting to generate community backing before pushing harder for donations in mid-October.
"We want the community to understand that this field is not just for the high school students, that it's a field that the entire community can use year-round," Duarte said. "We're trying to keep more people in southwest Portland instead of having them go elsewhere to use a field when our field is all muddy."
Replacing the field at the high school stadium is the first phase of the project. Duarte said the effort will continue "for as long as we can" to make other improvements at the school, such as installing artificial turf on a practice field and upgrading infrastructure around the stadium.

ELMONT, N.Y. – Kentucky Derby runner-up Ice Box on Wednesday was made the 3-1 morning-line favorite in a field of 12 3-year-olds entered for the Belmont Stakes on Saturday.
Ice Box hasn't raced since the Derby, in which he encountered serious traffic trouble before making a strong stretch run.
"If he comes back and wins this Belmont race, he could be the top 3-year-old,'' said Ernie Richard, racing manager for Robert LaPenta, owner of Ice Box.
Belmont Park line-make Eric Donovan made Preakness runner-up First Dude the 7-2 second choice in the line. Dwyer winner Fly Down, a stable of Ice Box in trainer Nick Zito's barn, is next in the early odds at 9-2.
Also on Wednesday, veteran jockey Richard Migliorie, who is recovering from surgery to fuse vertebrae, announced his retirement. Migliorie won 4,450 races, and his mounts earned $160,205,725.
"Everything good in my life stems from horses,'' said Migliorie, 46. "The emotion I'm feeling now is I won't get to do it anymore, won't get to sit on them.''

1. Value of a veteran: As sometimes happens when two really good teams play, Thursday's game between the Spurs and Lakers in Los Angeles wasn't exactly a work of art, with Kobe Bryant calling it an "ugly game" after San Antonio's 89-88 victory.
It was a big win for the Spurs (41-8), who have the NBA's best record, and it went beyond beating the two-time defending champions on national TV. San Antonio is on a nine-game road swing -- its annual "rodeo trip" -- and needed a win.
"It was huge," guard Manu Ginobili tells the Express-News' Mike Monroe. "Not only because we had led (by eight) in the fourth, which was important, but the fact we lost at Portland and we have a game tomorrow. That would have put a lot of pressure on that game."
The night's hero was Antonio McDyess, who showed why you keep a 37-year-old veteran on your roster. As the Express-News' Buck Harvey writes, McDyess had a hand in keeping the ball alive three times after Spurs misses in the final 12 seconds, getting an offensive rebound, battling inside to keep the ball alive and causing to go out of bounds off a Lakers, then getting the buzzer-beating, game-winning tip-in.
"Three pretty good shots and an offensive rebound," Ginobili said. "Dyess was in the right place at the right time."
Think of what this season means to McDyess, who has said he will probably retire at the end of it. This is a player who, early in his career, was like the first coming of Amare Stoudemire -- an explosive leaper who twice averaged 20 points and 10 rebounds and made the 2001 All-Star Game.
But in 2001-02, while playing for Denver, he ruptured a patella tendon (the same injury Blazers center Joel Przybilla suffered) 10 games into the season. He then had multiples surgeries and setbacks and didn't play the rest of that season or at all in 2002-03 and just 42 games in '03-04 for the Knicks and Suns.
When he was finally healthy enough, he remade himself into a savvy sixth man, signing with then-defending champion Detroit in 2004-05. He played five seasons with the Pistons, and although they made the NBA Finals in his first season (losing to the Spurs), they did not win a title in those seasons.
McDyess signed with the Spurs before last season, but they went through an injury-riddle campaign and lost in the second round. You can see why a seemingly-star-crossed veteran would be the hungriest player, making all the key plays at the Staples Center.
2. From the other locker room: Funny how two teams can interpret the same game so differently. To the Spurs, McDyess' tip-in might seem like a savvy veteran play. But in the home team's locker room, it was seen as one player -- who just happened to be left off the All-Star Game the same day -- not doing his job.
"I've got to make that play towards the end," Lakers forward Lamar Odom said. "I got caught watching Duncan take the shot and didn't box out. McDyess got position. He beat me."
But Bryant saw the end differently saying, "They just got a great bounce. It just bounced right to him."
Still, the Lakers lost for the third time in four games, certainly a funk by any standards. They need to get their heads right, but fortunately, the Grammys are coming.
As happens every season, the Lakers (along with the Clippers and NHL Kings) have to clear out of the Staples Center so it can been prepared the music awards. The Lakers will play their final seven games before the All-Star break on the road, and the time away from the hometown media glare might be just what they need.
"It always comes just in time for our team, and it's important for us right now," Odom tells the Times. "We're hearing some things being said, people are
saying things. This is a great time to work on camaraderie."
3. Public enemy No. 1? Don't know if Boston's Kevin Garnett uses a PR person, but that person would be having quite a week.
Sure, the flak could send out a release touting Garnett being selected to a 14th consecutive All-Star Game. But he or she would also have to deal with two negative stories.
On Thursday, Suns coach Alvin Gentry went on a Phoenix radio station and ripped Garnett, who was involved in a incident with Suns forward Channing Frye last Friday. "If you're asking me, yeah, I lost a little respect for him," Gentry said. "I love his competitive nature but there is no place for what he was doing in our game."
Here's what happened:
There also was an alleged incident at the Staples Center in which Garnett supposedly told a ball boy who wanted his autograph, "You've got a better chance of catching Bin Laden." The exchange was supposedly reported on Twitter by ESPN's J.A. Adande and Yahoo's Marc Spears, but both have deleted the posts, but not before they made the rounds like a flu virus.
This, in turn, led to conspiracy theories on why the posts were deleted, with Deadspin concluding it was more of a practical matter of the relentless re-tweeting crashing the writers' accounts. The tweets were up long enough that Bucks center Andrew Bogut responded to Spears, commenting, "little better than what he told one of our ball boys."
Twitter, of course, is also where Pistons forward Charlie Villanueva claimed early in the season that Garnett, as trash talk, called him a "cancer patient."
4. New York state of mind: Just when you think the Knicks are going in the right direction ...
GM Donnie Walsh is in the final year of his contract, but according to the New York Post's Marc Berman, owner James Dolan is hesitating on exercising the option year on Walsh's deal because he still hopes to bring Isiah Thomas back.
Thomas had a huge hand in the Knicks' ugly run of seasons, serving both as GM and coach for stretches (although Portland fans might be grateful to him for taking Zach Randolph's contract off the Blazers' hands).
The report came on the same day the Knicks were fined $200,000, and one of their scouts $20,000, for holding illegal draft workouts. Yahoo's Adrian Wojnarowski, via Twitter, says a rival executive called the punishment a "parking ticket."
5. Getting better, maybe: Do you have to win to improve? That's seems to be the question facing the Minnesota Timberwolves, who at 11-37 have the worst record in the Western Conference.
This for a team that seemed to improve its personnel in the off-season after it finished 15-67 in 2009-10. But this year's team is only one win ahead of their record through 48 games last season.
Team owner Glen Taylor tells the Associated Press that he does see some improvement but wants to see more.
"They say be patient, but personally I'd like to see some improvement from the beginning of the year to the middle part of the year to the end of the year and that it's going in the right direction," Taylor said. "I think a couple of things have gotten better. I think the players have gotten better. But I think collectively we haven't seen the results yet."
Minnesota seems to have a bona fide star in forward Kevin Love, who received plenty of All-Star Game talk but was left off the Western Conference team, with the team's record surely hurting his cause. But it's hard to know if the cast GM David Kahn has surrounded Love with is good enough to turn things around, and if Kurt Rambis is the right coach for the job.
There's also a business side to consider. The team has cut ticket prices, but attendance is still down slightly to an average of 14,493 from the 15,101 it averaged last season. Also, the Timberwolves are part of a group asking for $155 million in renovations for Target Center.
"We're going to ask the coaches to try to demonstrate that they're making progress so our fans can see that," Taylor said.

Costly penalties and missed power-play opportunities for the UPEI Panthers were key factors in a 3-2 loss to the UQTR Patriotes in exhibition men's hockey action Friday night at MacLauchlan Arena in Charlottetown
The opening match of UPEI's 2012-2013 pre-season saw the AUS squad drop the first game of a weekend doubleheader against the RSEQ Conference's Patriotes. The second game is today at an early 12 p.m. start time.
UQTR defenceman Pierre-Luc Lessard netted the game winner during a 5-on-3 powerplay in the second half of the third period.
UQTR's other goals were scored by Billy Lacasse and Cowan Austrie.
UPEI forwards Harrison McIver and Matthew Brenton scored the Panthers goals.
UPEI goalie Wayne Savage kept the team alive by stopping 21 of UQTR's 24 shots during his first game with UPEI since 2009.
Despite the loss, Savage said he felt the team had put in a good effort.
"We had lots of shots and lots of chances, a couple of bounces and then it's a different game out there," he said during a post-game interview with The Guardian. "I think our biggest thing is that we've got to keep our emotions at check and just battle."
The pre-season match saw UQTR and UPEI competing head-to-head throughout a penalty-laden 60 minutes.
UQTR opened scoring short-handed, with Lacasse taking advantage of a two-man breakaway 5:28 into the first period.
McIver evened up the score 1-1 for UPEI just minutes later by taking advantage of a scramble in front of net.
While the Patriotes trailed in shots 14-7 after the first period, the team narrowed the gap 24-20 during a slightly-tamer second period.
Patriotes' Austrie opened up scoring 4:03 in the third with a top-shelf goal on Savage. That was followed by Lessard's game-winner at 12:24.
Brenton found an opening in UQTR goalie Marc-Antoine Gelinas's pads late in the third to cut UQTR's lead to 3-2. However that wasn't enough for the Panthers, who failed to capitalize during a 5-on-3 opportunity in the game's dying minutes, further bolstered with Savage on the bench.
Savage said he's confident in the team's future season, despite the exhibition game's outcome.
"Obviously you want to win every game," he said. "But we worked on some things out there and it's a new group, so we're still getting to know each other. In a couple more games, we'll be right where we want to be."
After this weekend, the Panthers will hit the road for exhibition matches against the St. F.X. X-Men and Dalhousie Tigers next weekend.
That will be followed by an exhibition match against archrival Moncton Blue Eagles in Grand Falls on Saturday, Oct. 6.
The Panthers will start the regular season with the home opener against Moncton on Oct. 13.

Dating Outside the Lines
Dating outside of your own race has never been acceptable to some people.
Even today, with a bi-racial man elected to be our next president, teens in "mixed relationships" aren't free from criticism.
I am bi-racial -- my father is black and my mother is white -- therefore I get it from all angles.
A lot of people tell me I'll "be OK" if I date either a black person or a white person. What if I were to date a Puerto-Rican, or an Asian. Would I be OK then?
My school accepts these things, being that many students are of mixed race, but what about schools that are made up of mainly one race?
Personally, I have never dated a white person, so I also get a lot of, "You get your taste from your mom," or "That's the black coming out of you."
High school is a time of coming into your own, discovering who you are, and what you'll become. Overcoming those challenges is hard enough. People who choose to date outside of their race also must fight for a relationship simply because of the color of a person's skin.
People constantly speak about how far we've come from segregation and racism. Really, how far have we come when people as young as 16 must deal with constant remarks for even wanting to like someone with different skin?
Many students, such as myself, don't care about race, but is that because I'm mixed? What about an "all-white person," or an "all-black person?" How much does it matter to them?
When many people think of "inter-racial" dating, they think of black and white, when in reality it is so much more than that. Any combination of races is just completely wrong to some people.
So what do we do? We could hide who we are and do what's "acceptable."
I choose to stand for what I want and what I feel should be accepted. You can't help what you like and who you like. So why fight it?

Originally published at: http://www.howtogeek.com/194671/how-to-hide-files-and-folders-on-every-operating-system/
A hidden file or folder is just a normal file or folder with a "hidden" option set. Operating systems hide these files by default, so you can use this trick to hide some files if you share a computer with someone else.
Good article but I've never heard anyone referring to quotes (open, at the beginning and closed at the end) as "Inverted Comas"
While technically "hidden," these folders are extremely easy to find and access. If you want to hide something, there are better methods.
If one is going through the trouble of accessing File Explorer - Tools - "hide / unhide" files each time... it might be just as easy to download a free app (e.g. Axcrypt) and securely encrypt/decrypt file(s) with a simple right click. Just as easy, but a lot more secure (esp. with a decent password).
These files show up as soon as someone does the unhide option... Is there a way to put passwords on files and folders??
This is the first thing someone who actually knows something about computers will look for if they are trying to find something you hid from them. Instead, create a folder with a mundane sounding name such as 8-17-2012 ( a date from several years ago) then put that in a folder that has a lot of similar looking folders such as your my pictures folder. The pictures folder will be opened with a pictures program - such as picassa that will ignore non picture folders ( picassa also has a do not include option for when your hidden folder has pictures.) This is an example of security by obscurity and while it is not perfect, no security really is. A casual user will not typically look for hidden stuff there. The FBI computer forensics lab will find it within seconds. Right after they look at those obviously hidden files.

The cliffs between West Bay and Burton Bradstock Beach are remarkable, the deep colour and structure of the Bridport Sands being a pleasantly dominant feature of this part of the Jurassic Coastline.
Bridport Sand Cliffs
The cliffs of Freshwater Bay, Burton Bradstock and West Bay are all undeniably spectacular.
They predominantly consist of 185 million year old Lower Jurassic Bridport Sands. One theory suggests they were laid down as a migrating offshore sandbar deposited from a shallow river delta that flowed into the sea. Regular flood events from this river deposited large amounts of sediment onto the seafloor, the top layers of which were burrowed into by sea creatures, creating the knobbly banding within the cliff section that remains today.
The Chesil Beach (Chesil Bank)
Consisting of a 100 million ton bank of pebbles, the Chesil Beach stretches for 28 km to West Bay.
The beach varies between 36 and 200 meters wide and also in height, being 14 meters at Portland and just 5 meters at West Bay. The bank of pebbles separates the sea from Britains largest tidal lagoon, the Fleet, an important wildlife habitat for all manner of extraordinary flora and fauna. The beach is marching inland at a rate of 5 meters every century, reducing the size of the Fleet Lagoon in the process.
The Chesil Beach is by no means stable. Storm waves have breached its pebble bank several times in the past, flooding the Fleet Lagoon, the land behind it and Portland to a depth of several meters. In one great storm the beach was swept away, exposing the underlying Kimmeridge Clay, in which were coins, jewelry and all sorts of artifacts that had been lost between the pebbles throughout the centuries.
Pebble Size and Longshore Drift
The stones that make up the Chesil Beach are mainly derived from East Devon, consisting of Metaquartzites of the Ordovian and Devonian Age, Chert and Flint. A unique feature the Chesil Beach is how the pebble size changes from one end to the other. Large cobbles are found at Chesil Cove, Portland, while West Bay has fine grit and gravel. It is thought the bigger heavier stones have a larger surface area and are therefore carried further to the east by the powerful prevailing south westerly waves hitting the beach at an angle, while the smaller lighter stones are carried back to the west by the less powerful waves approaching from the south east.
In effect the stones zigzag their way along the coastline, carried by this longshore drift, accounting for the size graduation.
The harbours at Lyme Regis and West Bay are both obstacles to the longshore drift, and the reduction in quantity of stone being delivered through coastal erosion in East Devon is diminishing. The long-term future
The Chesil Beach and Smugglers
Folklore says that a local fisherman or smuggler could tell exactly where he was on the beach at night or in fog simply by looking at the size of the pebbles. This aided him in sneaking ashore, away from the customs men and their patrols.

On the Trail
Applications are available for Wisconsin wild turkey, pheasant and waterfowl stamp funds to be applied to habitat work for the 2014 and 2015 Department of Natural Resources funding cycle. The stamp funds are available to conservation organizations and units of government that work to develop, manage, preserve, restore and maintain habitat for these species.
"Since their inception, millions of dollars of wild turkey, pheasant and waterfowl stamp funds have been awarded to conduct habitat management, research and outreach that benefits the species, their habitat and the people who enjoy hunting and viewing them," said Scott Walter, DNR upland wildlife ecologist. "These funds have been instrumental in providing critical habitat and species management across the state."
The funds may only be used for developing, managing, preserving, restoring and maintaining wild turkey, pheasant and waterfowl populations and their habitat in the state. Habitat projects typically involve restoration and management of valuable woodland, savanna, grassland and wetland communities.
"All Wisconsin residents have benefited from the waterfowl habitat work funded by the sale of Wisconsin waterfowl stamps," said Jason Fleener, acting DNR wetland habitat specialist. "Wetland habitat work not only benefits hunters but also provides waterfowl watching opportunities for non-hunters, provides clean water and helps to control flooding by slowing the release of floodwaters."
Stamp funds are generated through sales of required wild turkey, pheasant and waterfowl stamps to hunters and a portion of revenues from the sale of the conservation patron license. Many stamp collectors also purchase the stamps.
On average, the wildlife stamps receive annual revenues exceeding $300,000 for pheasant, $750,000 for wild turkey and $550,000 for waterfowl. By state law, 60% of pheasant stamp funds are reserved for game farm pheasant production, and one-third of waterfowl stamp funds are reserved for habitat projects in Canada, where some of Wisconsin's fall ducks are raised.
Eligibility information and criteria, application guidance, funding priorities and further information can be found at dnr.wi.gov, search keyword "wildlife stamps." Applications are due no later than April 5. For additional information, contact Krista McGinley, DNR assistant upland wildlife ecologist, at (608) 261-8458.

The hardiness of Minot's Boy Scouts was a featured story in the February 2012 edition of Boys' Life magazine, the long-time publication of the Boy Scouts of America. Plenty of photographs are included in the story, which details one of Troop 433's winter outings.
"That's huge. It's really neat that the boys get noticed," said Kevin Sebastian, assistant scoutmaster. "We had a photographer who came out and followed us around for a few days."
The photographer took numerous pictures of members of Troop 433 during one of their wintertime outings in which the scouts combined ice fishing with winter skills.
Article Photos
Submitted Photo - - Minot Boy Scout Troop 433 was featured in the February 2012 issue of Boys' Life magazine. Successful ice fisherman Travis Patterson, shown here, was one of several local scouts photographed for the story.
"It's a neat story. The angle we tried to take is that, for a lot of Boy Scouts, winter camping is something really unique," said Aaron Derr, Irving, Texas, Boys' Life senior writer. "In a sense, these guys are our winter camping experts to be held up to show other Boy Scout troops around the country that they can do it, too."
Brothers Austin and Eric Artz are among the scouts whose photos appear in the article. Eric is pictured holding a freshly caught northern pike.
"I was happy with the story," said Austin Artz, 15, Troop 433. "I don't know anyone who wasn't satisfied."
Troop 433 is one of the largest of five Boy Scout troops in Minot. According to Sebastian the troop has 60 scouts and, just as important, 60 adults who enjoy the satisfaction of teaching boys scouting skills and watching them learn. National exposure in scouting's widely recognized publication only added to the satisfaction.
"National recognition is a pretty good feather in the boys' cap," Sebastian said.
A portion of the story is devoted to flooding that tore through the Big 4 Boy Scout Camp on Minot's west edge in 2011. The Big 4 was a meeting place for Boy Scout troops, including Troop 433.

President Obama's foreign policy achievements make clear that he deserves re-election in November.
First and foremost, the president kept his word and got U.S. troops out of Iraq. Americans will no longer die or be maimed in a country that needs to chart its own course.
Republicans who want to replace Obama mostly favor sending more troops in order to establish a U.S. empire in the Middle East.
The president refocused U.S. security priorities towards dismantling and defeating al-Qaida whose leadership has been significantly degraded.
Of great importance, the Obama administration demonstrated America's resolve in bringing Osama bin Laden to justice.
To the consternation of Fox News and conservative talk radio, Obama accomplished what President Bush chose not to do.
Staten Islanders should also recognize that the president's cooperation with U.S. allies helped him end the Libyan dictatorship without the loss of American life.
Republican commentators wanted to send in U.S. troops, giving America a third war in an Arab nation and stoke anti-Muslim feeling.

Egg Replacements
There are plenty of egg substitutes available for baking or preparing a dish that calls for eggs. The neat egg and Ener-G Egg Replacer are reliable egg substitutes that can be used in baking. They are available at health-food stores and some grocery stores.
Tofu: Tofu is great for egg substitutions in recipes that call for a lot of eggs, like quiches or custards. To replace one egg in a recipe, purée 1/4 cup soft tofu. It is important to keep in mind that although tofu doesn't fluff up like eggs, it does create a texture that is perfect for "eggy" dishes. Firm tofu is also a great substitute for eggs in eggless egg salad and breakfast scrambles.
In Desserts and Sweet, Baked Goods: Try substituting one banana or 1/4 cup applesauce for each egg called for in a recipe for sweet, baked desserts. These will add some flavor to the recipe, so make sure bananas or apples are compatible with the other flavors in the dessert.
Egg Replacement Options Infographic
Egg Replacement Tips
- If a recipe calls for three or more eggs, it is important to choose a replacer that will perform the same function (i.e., binding or leavening).
- Trying to replicate airy baked goods that call for a lot of eggs, such as angel food cake, can be very difficult. Instead, look for a recipe with a similar taste but fewer eggs, which will be easier to replicate.
- When adding tofu to a recipe as an egg replacer, be sure to purée it first to avoid chunks in the finished product.
- Be sure to use plain tofu, not seasoned or baked, as a replacer.
- Powdered egg replacers cannot be used to create egg recipes such as scrambles or omelets. Tofu is the perfect substitute for eggs in these applications.
- If you want a lighter texture and you're using fruit purées as an egg substitute, add an extra 1/2 tsp. baking powder. Fruit purées tend to make the final product denser than the original recipe.
- If you're looking for an egg replacer that binds, try adding 2 to 3 Tbsp. of any of the following for each egg: tomato paste, potato starch, arrowroot powder, whole wheat flour, mashed potatoes, mashed sweet potatoes, instant potato flakes, or 1/4 cup tofu puréed with 1 Tbsp. flour.

I'm looking for an egg substitute for a pizza crust, I'm not sure which would be the best option. Maybe the flax egg? Recipe only calls for 2 eggs. Thanks!
What is with you people… Eggs are a natural byproduct of chickens. They want you to eat them. That's why they're laid.
I'm curious about the source for the statement put forth in the meme attached to this link: That an iPad is larger than the space an egg-laying chicken is given in a typical cage. As someone vehemently opposed to Agri-Business, I shared this post on my FB page and would like the data to back it up. Thanks!
My granddaughter has recently been diagnosed with allergies to egg whites, so now she can not have any eggs. Please help with some great tasting alternative. She is only 7yrs old and already picky about what she eats now it is going to be even harder to find her something to eat because she was a big fan of eggs. It has to taste good and the texture can't be to weird or she will not eat it. Thanks
The flax combo works great for chewy cookies!
Make about 2-4 at a time and heat on the stove in a small saucepan for about 5 minutes; stirring constantly until you get an eggy texture.
Tofu is best when you make brownies.
Been vegan for a long time and was nicknamed "Betty Crocker" by an ex. lol
check out Beyond Eggs!
Its an egg free alternative that is vegan, cholesterol free, and guilt free and can replace eggs in your cooking needs! I just met with the CEO and got a tour of their office and lab. Amazing new start up! Just launched this week!
You can also add Chia Seeds as an egg replacement. It is most useful in batters and for thickening.
maybe you could try adding them both Lindsay, I've done applesauce and bananas together and it was delicious!!
This is a little late, but you could try cornstarch for the pumpkin cheesecake recipe. I've had success with cornstarch in cheesecake before.
Could someone please let me know what I could use as a substitute for 2 eggs for a pumpkin layered cheesecake recipe? I saw the alternative of banana or applesauce but not sure if either of those would be compatible taste wise?
Thank you so much!…
what a wonderful tips for cook!
To make an omellete you can actually replace the eggs by mixing chickpea flour with a little pureed tofu (you can actually leave a few small chunks) and water or soy milk. Juts add enough liquid untill it resembles scrambles eggs, add whatever you want for your omellete and pour it in your pan untill its cooked. FABULOUS!!! =D
I usually use 1 tablespoon of vinegar to replace 1 egg. If a recipe calls for just 1 egg, I usually don't add any subsitute. Just add a little more liquid.
The link for my website has a bunch of tried and tested recipes that do not use eggs
the best and easiest egg replacement is 1tbs ground flax or chia seeds mixed with 3 tbs water. water can be hot or cold, does not matter. it will thicken in a matter of seconds and works perfectly in any pastry, cookie, cake, or bread!!! 🙂
I actually wondered if there WAS anything Eggs could be replaced with (my Youngest Daughter can't have them…)
What would You All suggest to make mashed potatoes?
Thank You Again
This helped me get 5 more marks in my cooking class!! Thank you it made my grade an A…definitely using the baking powder one agian Xx
Should try not to hurt every creature. Should try to obey the ten commandments of God to try not to hurt every creature. Bible reference: Genesis 9::12-13, Deuteronomy 4:13, Deuteronomy chapter 5
I am very chuffed to find this information regarding egg replacement. I would be interested in finding out if there is any nutritional properties in the egg replacement product. If not I would still use it in cakes and desserts, or if I was without eggs when I needed to cook.
using your egg replacement recipe is a breeze to my baking! it makes food preparation a lot easier specially because i promote healthy living by feeding friends and clients. thank you very much
Just tried the Vegg for the first time the other day! I'm not even vegan, but they do taste just like eggs! They're awesome!
Also try The Vegg! The world's first vegan egg yolk. Perfect for french toast, tofu scramble and many more recipes!
@Greta: Post Punk Kitchens cookbook,"vegan brunch", has an awesome omelette recipe that involves making a kind of tofu batter. They also use Indian Black Salt which has a sulfur-y, eggy taste. I got nuthin' on the hard-boiled egg front. Good luck!
I recently made muffins and instead of eggs used 1/2 c almond milk mixed with 1tsp vinegar. They turned out great and were most moist than when I make muffins with eggs.
Okay, everybody's talking and writing about replacing eggs in baking… but what if you want to make an omelette? Or, for example, I want to make this salad that requires chopped boiled eggs… how do I replace THAT? Is tofu my only option? (I love tofu, but I just thought maybe there's something else, that tastes closer to what eggs taste like..?)
I'm a omnivore who tries to do raw & vegan 5 days a week with a butcher for a husband. I like coconut oil instead of butter and pumpkin for eggs if you're making out of the box brownies. I usually add a tablespoon extra of water to keep it a little more light. Currently have a chocolate pumpkin pie in the oven with walnuts and lapsang tea. Batter tasted good!
Hi, I AM IN Gauteng, South Africa and I want to purchase the egg replacer powder. I am having trouble finding a store that stocks it. Please asisst.
Thanks, S
Last time I used applesauce instead of eggs in banana muffins it was way too moist. It was like it was raw & needed to be cooked alot longer but actually cooking it longer did not help. Also when I made brownies the same way they were very crumbly. Any suggestions ?
I have a recipe that calls for 4 SMALL eggs. How do I substitute for small eggs in a recipe?
Thank you so much for such a useful site! I have a newly discovered egg and milk allergy issue and I've been beside myself in eating what I miss. Thanks for providing all this great info!
This is all good stuff. But everyone needs to remember that at the environment pollution and resources level, vegan lifestyle alone is simply another method of procrastination and ignoring the human overpopulation issue.
Vegan measures to increase human feeding efficiency simply allows cities to be come bigger factory farms for humans. Being 10 times as efficient in feeding humans is only a 20-40 year extension over omnivore human eating habits before human themselves starve.
And the excess human population is even more effectively killing off animals by crowding them out of natural habitats either with housing or organic farms.
One can use soda water for rising agents in cakes.For me even sometimes baking soda taste will be strong so I usually avoid using it too much.I use soda water instead of milk or any other liquid agent to make batter watery enough.For detailed process of baking an eggless cake you can go through this link.
Be vegetarian
If you have the just ad water pancake mix it works well for baking. I never measure just kind of add some in.
@Sarah. We are actually making bread right now and we've been using the water+oil+baking powder method and it's been coming out better than the regular recipe!
Hi, what can I use for ice cream? 3 egg yolks = ?
I make homemade noodles using Flax Eggs and Semolina flour and a little bit of salt. Flax Eggs: 1/4 c ground flax seeds + 1/2 c warm water blended together in a blender, with 1/4 c of Flax Eggs roughly equivalent to 1 egg. Flax and water are a great binder.
For leavening, use an acid and a base, like orange juice, tomato juice, vinegar, or lemon juice with baking soda and/or baking powder.
Food Coloring: Red is easy-use beet juice for something savory or raspberry juice for something sweet
Tofu is fantastic for making scrambles and crepes and quiches
Ice cream: You can make it from scratch and not even need an ice cream maker-just a couple of plastic ziploc bags, some rock salt, nondairy milk (almond is my favorite) and a little bit of sweetener & flavor and about 10 minutes (there are recipes all over the web)
My family is disappointed that I haven't made homemade egg noodles since the switch. What would be the best substitute?
I would also like to know what to use for food coloring I cant use red food coloring at all but they are very bad for every one Also what about Taking MSG out of things it is very bad also
Hi! I'm really wanting to make this Mango Tea Bread recipe on Whole Foods. I'm new to being vegan and am not sure which egg substitute would be best for it. I know baking with egg substitutes can be tricky especially just starting out. Thanks for your help! Here's the link to the recipe, it calls for two eggs but has a whole bunch of different fruit and bananas in it already:
"I use 1 Tbsp corn starch + 3 Tbsp water as an egg replacer in everything"
Not much of a cook but I wanted to try this, wish I would have mixed the corn starch and water together first to make an egg like substance and then added it to the recipe… duh, needless to say it turned out terrible
"I use 1 Tbsp corn starch + 3 Tbsp water as an egg replacer in everything.. works well."
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but I tried to use this to substitute for eggs in an omelet and it was terrible.. hehe
Hi Sarah!! There is a great book called Vice Cream. "V" for vegan. Many of the recipes call for cashews and water as the binder. I like to use a can of coconut milk. Either one taste great. The coconut milk takes less time.
I use 1 Tbsp corn starch + 3 Tbsp water as an egg replacer in everything.. works well.
Which egg replacer to use depends on the recipe. I've found that the Ener-G powder works well in cakes, banana bread, brownies etc. I tried using it in a pumpkin pie filling and it didn't work as well, but I found a recipe that called for corn starch in place of the eggs and that worked perfectly.
More of a question….. my granddaughter has lots and lots of allergies to name a few eggs,peanuts and soy which we find in way too many products. Anyone have any suggestions.
Hey Sarah! You should be able to use Ener-G Egg Replacer for ice cream recipes. Good luck!
I'd like to make ice-cream, and alot of recipes call for egg yolks. What do I substitute this with? Would something like butter help?
Thanks alot!
I've also used avacado for egg in recipes that bind ingredients together, such as veggie burgers or even brownies
Tapioca works well in baking as an egg substitute.
I'm just starting out as a Vegan and I love to bake. This site regarding eggs is a great help.

Why does the media ignore these ads (currently running on buses in NY and Chicago) while going postal on the exact same ad with Israel as the victim of jihad?
Raymond Ibrahim has more (thanks to Raymond):
But if Muslims get a free pass when their violence is directed against those currently stronger than them, how does one rationalize away their violence when it is directed against those weaker than them, those who have no political influence whatsoever? Consider the most obvious of these scenarios, the growing epidemic of Muslim persecution of Christians. From one end of the Islamic world to the other—whether in Arab lands, African lands, Asian lands, or Sinic lands, wherever Muslims are a majority—the largest non-Muslim religious group, Christians, suffer untold atrocities.
The rationalizations used to minimize Muslim violence against the West and Israel simply cannot work here—for now Muslims are the majority, and they are the ones violent and oppressive to their minorities, often in ways that would make the worst Israeli treatment of Muslims look kind and benevolent.
In short, Christian persecution is one of, if not the clearest reflections of Islamic supremacism. Vastly outnumbered and politically marginalized Christians simply wish to worship in peace, and yet still are they hounded and attacked, their churches burned and destroyed, their women and children enslaved and raped (see monthly "Muslim Persecution of Christians" reports for an example).
These Christians are often identical to their Muslim co-citizens, in race, ethnicity, national identity, culture, and language; there is no political dispute, no land dispute. The only problem is that they are Christian—they are the other—and so must be subjugated, according to Sharia's position for all "others," for all infidels—including Israel and the West.
Such is the true nature of Muslim rage throughout the world: it is a byproduct of doctrinal intolerance if not downright hatred for the other, who must always be kept in a state of subjugation and humiliation, according to the letter of the Quran.
Accordingly, while Christian persecution is the clearest example of this hate, it also explains why others are so despised, for example, Israel.
Consider: Christians and Jews are both constantly castigated in the Quran: Muslims are admonished not to befriend either of them (5:51) and to fight and subjugate them "until they pay tribute with willing submission and feel themselves brought low" (9:29). Christians under Islam are suffering accordingly—as despised dhimmis, abused and "brought low," routinely plundered of their lives, dignity, and possessions.
On the other hand, Israel—the dhimmi that got away—actually has authority and power over Muslims. Now, if dhimmis are supposed to be kept in total submission to Muslims, how then when one of them actually lords over Muslims?
Hence Islam's immense and existential rage against the Jewish state.

It appears irascible U.S. House of Representatives Agriculture Committee Ranking Member Collin Peterson, D-Minn., can suddenly feel the pain of America's dairy farmers. As a result, Peterson favors fast tracking a controversial proposed dairy bill authored by the National Milk Producers Federation, entitled Foundations for the Future, through Congress.
Peterson states: "If we get another deal like we did back in '09 we're going to lose half our dairymen and we're never going to get them back, so I don't think it's an option to wait."
This is a complete reversal from Peterson's 2009 dairy policy position, callously outlined at Canandiagua on Sept. 2, 2009, at the zenith of the milk price crisis.
Peterson, then Ag. Committee chairman, refused to engage in what had been billed as a town hall meeting and insisted on only dealing with written questions slavishly collected and pre-screened by officials from the N.Y. Farm Bureau. No follow-up questions were taken.
He arrogantly informed desperate New York dairymen they could expect no help from "MY committee" until the drafting of the 2012 Farm Bill. Obviously, under then Chairman Peterson's leadership, waiting was more than an option for U.S. dairymen - it was a settled fact.
Regardless of Peterson's endorsement, the National Milk Producers Federation's claim that it represents the opinion of 80 percent of U.S. dairymen is beyond fiction. While a majority of U.S. dairymen ship milk to co-operatives that are members, many are forced to this because the vertical integration of U.S milk co-operatives leaves them no other marketing option. Co-operative membership in the federation is a decision taken at the executive level and as such represents the view of senior management rather than the opinion of the co-op's member farmers.
Foundations for the Future is designed as a U.S. government subsidized milk price insurance program. When triggered, this scheme will theoretically drag dairy farm profit margins back into the black. Taxpayer cash will supply the traction. It also contains a modest supply management proposal.
As this horror might improve the farm price, it tenders howls of outrage and gnashing of teeth from the International Dairy Foods Association. As the milk processors' lobby, the association's principal mission is promoting the processing industry's ready access to ruinously cheap farm milk.
Peterson castigates the processors, stating their opposition is wrong headed.
"They are getting three-fourths of what they've been looking for," scolds Peterson. "When you get three-fourths of what you have been trying to get (from Congress) for 10 years, you should declare victory."
Here Peterson may have said more than he intended. Any legislation that results in the processors getting three-fourths of their agenda must be seen as a threat to the well being of every U.S. dairy farm family. Clearly, dairymen should carefully consider just exactly where the producers' federation and Peterson's true loyalties lay. In this light alone, these players' motivations should be held highly suspect.
Most U.S. dairymen would suggest the producers' federation's initiative bodes nothing short of a new pain in their overworked posteriors. What they can imagine it delivering is a newly minted management headache: more bureaucracy, paperwork and regulations. Overall, the bill is seen as a solution crafted for large factory farms rather than traditional dairy farms. Because it is an insurance scheme, it will run contrary to the religious beliefs of dairymen of "plain faith." As such, Amish and Mennonite dairymen will not subscribe.
Absurdly, the initiative does not even attempt to remedy the underlying problem: a broken milk price discovery formula. U.S. dairymen see the current price system as lacking transparency, easily and blatantly manipulated and unworthy of their trust. They see no way the system can be corrected; they call for it to be scrapped and replaced with a system that will deliver a fair and equitable value to farm milk.
Reform of the milk price formula should be the proper focus in drafting the dairy portion of the 2012 Farm Bill. Dairy farm families have suffered grievously over these last three miserable years; the long awaited 2012 Farm Bill is now giving them a rare shot at a bonafide solution. That just goal must not be derailed by questionable political motives attempting to stampede this flawed and inappropriate Foundations for the Future Dairy Bill through Congress.
Perhaps at the bottom of Peterson's motivation is a pathetic need to cling to the debris of his former glory as House Ag. Committee chairman, a post lost as a result of the 2010 election. No matter. In 2009, the darkest days of the price crisis, Peterson was Ag. Committee chairman. At that time, he did not give a rat's backside about the plight of U.S. dairy farmers - and all but said as much. Now he pontificates, "If we have another downturn in prices we don't have a safety net that works in dairy."
While they may not have a safety net today, dairymen know with certainty they did not have one under Peterson's leadership in 2009, either. The situation today, bad as it is, is less dire than 2009. Now Peterson shrills that something must be done?
Forget fast tracking this taxpayer funded insurance scheme. Keep the U.S. taxpayer out of this - solve the problem. Fashion U.S. dairymen a price formula that delivers a sustainable price for their milk.
