Hyundai Motor Co. said Tuesday it was recalling 393,714 Sonata passenger cars in the U.S. to fix a problem with the air bag system.
The automaker said the recall affects 2006-2008 Sonatas equipped with an advanced air bag system. The system disables the front passenger seat's front air bag when it detects the presence of a child restraint system or a small child in the seat.
Hyundai, which makes the Sonata in Montgomery, said it received some complaints the system was misclassifying a small adult as a child and shutting off the passenger air bag. It said that would prevent the air bag from inflating in a crash.
Hyundai said it was not aware of any injuries.
For more information, owners can contact Hyundai at 1-800-633-5151.

PRICHARD, Alabama – The battle over the future of water for Prichard and Chickasaw customers is unlikely to end anytime soon.
State Sen. Vivian Figures, D-Mobile, and state Rep. Napoleon Bracy, D-Prichard, said they plan to introduce legislation in January addressing questions raised in an Alabama Supreme Court ruling Friday that declared the legislation enabling for a constitutional amendment to dissolve the Prichard Water Board as invalid.
Figures said new legislation will be drafted next week and that it will be introduced to the legislature in January. She said her hope is to have another constitutional amendment on the ballot before voters in June 2014.
Bracy agreed.
"We'll have to roll up our sleeves and go forward," he said.
The Supreme Court's ruling, which both Figures and Bracy called "disappointing," reversed efforts by the lawmakers to get the Prichard Water Board dissolved amid criticism from residents about high water bills and inefficient service.
The Water Board has been defunct since Mobile County Circuit
Judge Michael Youngpeter ruled to dissolve it in February, and to have the
approximately 14,000 customers transferred to the Mobile Area Water and Sewer
MAWSS has handled Prichard water customer bills since then, but has been legally restricted from making any permanent changes to the Prichard water system until the Supreme Court's ruling was made.
The court's ruling on Friday claimed that the constitutional amendment should not have been statewide, but rather handled locally. It also invalidated the legislature's actions in 2010 because the proposed constitutional amendment was not submitted to a local constitutional amendment commission for approval.
That group, according to Figures, includes the governor, secretary of state, lieutenant governor and the speaker of the house.
"I never heard that you had to go through such a committee to get it approved," Figures said.
The commission's support is needed whenever the legislature unanimously approves a proposed amendment – which occurred in both the Alabama House and Senate – when that amendment affects only one Alabama county.
Figures, in 2010, proposed legislation to have the constitutional amendment go before Mobile County voters only, and not statewide. But, she said at the time, that her proposal was killed in a legislative committee by state Reps. Rusty Glover, R-Semmes, and Ben Brooks, R-Mobile.
The version approved by voters in November 2012, was a statewide referendum. Only one precinct in the state – Cypress Shores –voted against it.
Figures also said she was surprised by the high court's actions because the Alabama Attorney General's Office previously said "it was OK for us to do it this way."
Severia Campbell-Morris, president of the United Concerned Citizens of Prichard – a group of local advocates who pushed to have the Prichard waterworks transferred to MAWSS – said she is confident that Prichard water customers will eventually be under MAWSS' oversight.
"We believe when it gets on the ballot in 2014, we will win again," Campbell-Morris said. "If MAWSS is willing to take us, like they were before, we will press our way forward. We are not going to stop."
The high court's ruling, for now, is being celebrated by some Prichard city officials including Mayor Troy Ephriam, who claims that it helps preserve a key economic development tool for the city.
He also said it guarantees revenues for the city at a time when it struggles to maintain a balanced budget.
Ephriam hopes that when the Water Board is re-established, all sides can sit down and find ways to keep water bills at a reasonable rate.
"Now that the Supreme Court has made that favorable decision, it gives us the opportunity to sit down and talk about lowering the water rates," Ephriam said.

State Sen. Jim Tracy (R-Shelbyville) has been reappointed chairman of the Senate Transportation and Safety Committee in the Tennessee General Assembly.
The announcement was made by Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey as the 108th General Assembly concluded its organizational session in Nashville this week.
"The health of our transportation system is key to Tennessee's economic health," Tracy said. "We need sound infrastructure to attract new and better paying jobs to our state. We must also address a significant reduction in federal road funds."
The committee is responsible for highways, roads and bridges, railroads, air travel, bus and vehicular transportation. In addition, committee members also oversee rules and regulations for highways, and facilities in connection with and navigation of waterways, lakes and streams, as well as the Tennessee Department of Safety.
Tracy will also serve as a member of the Senate Commerce and Labor Committee.
The Commerce and Labor Committee hears legislation dealing with economic development, business, insurance, and business regulations, as well as employment matters.
The General Assembly will take a brief recess to make office assignments and await budget details before convening the first full week of the regular 2013 legislative session later this month.

John Blake MacDonald (Scottish, 1829 - 1901)
McDonald was born and educated in Boat of Bridge, near Boharm in Banffshire. In 1852 he entered the Trustees' Academy in Edinburgh, and later at the Royal Scottish Academy. He was a pupil of Robert Scott Lauder, and his work reflects his masters' strong use of light and shadow. His early pictures focussed on domestic genre scenes and landscapes, but he developed an interest in episodes from Scotland's history. He drew on popular subjects such as Jacobite history or old clan rivalry, and presented a romanticised, theatrical version of real events. His work was admired in its day, even attracting the eye of Queen Victoria.

Constraint induced language therapy in early aphasia rehabilitation
Kirmess, Melanie and Maher, Lynn M.
Constraint induced language therapy in early aphasia rehabilitation . Aphasiology, 24(6-8), June, 2010, pages 725-736.
Background: Constraint induced language therapy (CILT) focuses on improving acquired expressive language deficits after stroke by applying intensive, use-dependent treatment with constraint to spoken verbal expression. Most CILT research has utilised individuals with chronic aphasia, and previous results indicated improvement on the language assessments after intervention that was largely retained at follow-up.
Aims: The purpose of this study was to explore the applicability and outcome of a programme of CILT in individuals in the early phase of recovery from aphasia (1-2 months post onset) in an inpatient rehabilitation hospital setting.
Methods & Procedures: A 10-day/3 hours a day pre-posttest CILT intervention case series was carried out 1-2 months post onset with three Norwegian rehabilitation inpatients with aphasia following left CVA. Procedures involved card activities using high- and low-frequency picture stimuli with communicative relevance at four levels of complexity, either in a small group or one-to-one with a trained SLP.
Outcomes & Results: Results suggested an overall improvement on the language assessments post CILT intervention, as well as at the follow-up. A greater degree of improvement in performance on expressive speech tasks compared to receptive and written tasks suggested a treatment-specific effect of CILT for early aphasia rehabilitation. Participant evaluation of the CILT intervention reflected positive feedback for the treatment experience and satisfaction with individual gains. Challenges in the application of CILT to this phase of recovery were the need to accommodate the demands of the inpatient rehabilitation setting and the decreased stamina of the participants.
Conclusions: The results of this study support the applicability of CILT in early aphasia rehabilitation, with some modifications of the original protocol.

Douglas Schoen is an American political analyst, pollster, author, and commentator. He is a political analyst for Fox News and a columnist for Newsmax. He partnered with political strategist Mark Penn and Michael Berland in the firm of Penn, Schoen & Berland. He believes that lower taxes would be a successful Democratic strategy, opposed President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act, warned the Democratic Party to reject the Occupy Wall Street protest, and recommended that President Obama not run for reelection in 2012.[3][4]
Schoen attended Horace Mann School in New York City.[5] While still a high school student, he canvassed the Upper West Side for Dick Morris.[2] He graduated from Harvard College (magna cum laude) and Harvard Law School[1][6] Schoen went to high school with Mark Penn and then worked together with him on The Harvard Crimson.
He has worked on the campaigns of many Democratic party candidates including Ed Koch and Bill Clinton,[2] and on behalf of corporate clients. He also did work for Senator Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign and following her defeat became associated with the People United Means Action movement of disaffected Clinton supporters who refused to support Barack Obama.[7][8] Schoen was a consultant for Jeff Greene in the 2010 Florida Senate election.[9]
Schoen said that President Obama should not seek reelection in 2012. He has stated that the President has divided the country along partisan lines, and said that the Affordable Care Act had been a "disaster" for the Democratic Party.[3][4]
Schoen has been critical of the Occupy Wall Street protest movement. In a Wall Street Journal op-ed, he wrote, "President Obama and the Democratic leadership are making a critical error in embracing the Occupy Wall Street movement—and it may cost them the 2012 election."[3][10] He believes that the protesters represent "an unrepresentative segment of the electorate that believes in radical redistribution of wealth, civil disobedience and, in some instances, violence," and that their common bond is "a deep commitment to left-wing policies."[3][10] Schoen believes that the Democratic Party should not appeal to voters who support taxing oil companies and the rich, but rather to voters in the middle who want lower taxes.[3][11][12][13]

The client was the President. Morris asked Schoen if he was interested in doing some polling for the White House. It was an offer no pollster could refuse. Schoen was also eager to work with Morris, who had been a mentor to him. In high school Schoen had canvassed races for Morris on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Schoen and his partner, Penn, who had attended Harvard together, later distinguished themselves as New Democratic consultants and pollsters for Mayor Ed Koch of New York City, Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan and Evan Bayh of Indiana. They had also polled for a succession of Arkansas politicians, including Clinton's rival, former Governor Jim Guy Tucker.

Strategic sourcing programs often meet deep resistance during the design and implementation phases. Objectives among departments are potentially conflicting: while marketing/sales intend to develop innovative solutions and offer a large range of products, purchasing/manufacturing push to reduce diversity. Our value analysis methodology is a powerful tool to align all stakeholders around a common objective and achieve an optimum balance.
Our value analysis reconciles the dynamic tension between marketing/sales and purchasing/manufacturing by asking questions that lead to shared answers and mutual understanding:

For most of July 19th, not many people knew who Shirley Sherrod is. On July 20th, that is certainly no longer the case.
Last night, the story broke out, thanks to the Breitbartocalypse nutcases, showing video of Sherrod of the now former member of the Agriculture Department appearing to not show full conviction towards a white male farmer as she would someone else to facilitate him out in his situation.
As typical, Murdoch's Comedy Clown Network got the video immediately, and the right wing nutcase machine did what they do best. Yell, Yell, Yell until someone hears.
Fortunately for them, the White House shakes in their boots at anytime they yell apparently.
Within instance of the story even becoming lukewarm, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack accepted Sherrod's resignation.
Now the much scrutinized women tells CNN that her controversial comments were fully taken out of context :
"I was speaking to that group, like I've done many groups, and I tell them about a time when I thought the issue was race and race only," Sherrod said on CNN's "American Morning" from her home in Albany, Georgia. The incident took place in 1986, while she worked for a nonprofit and before she joined the Agriculture Department, she said. "I was telling the story of how working with him helped me to see the issue is not about race. It's about those who have versus those who do not have."Making Sherrod's defense here even stronger is this comment from an important source:
A Georgia woman who said she believes her husband is the white farmer referenced in the clip told CNN on Tuesday that Sherrod was helpful to her family and that the couple never felt she was being racist while trying to assist them in avoiding foreclosure.If this is true, then shame on the White House for folding so quickly once again under the right-wing, Breitbartocalypse. They didn't learn their lesson on ACORN apparently, and that's not even mentioning Van Jones' situation either.
"She treated us really good and got us all we could," said Eloise Spooner, of Iron City, Georgia. Spooner said she remembered that Sherrod helped find an attorney to help her husband, Roger.
She added she doesn't believe Sherrod is being treated fairly.
It certainly was something to hear how strong Sherrod's answer was about the Administration when Roberts asked her if she fought for her job amidst the expedient pressure to resign placed on her.
"I did say that, but they, for some reason, the stuff that Fox and the Tea Party does, is scaring the Administration," said Sherrod. "I said get the whole tape, look at the whole the whole tape, and look at how I told people we have to get beyond race and work together."
Roberts inquired again on why she eventually took the resignation, prompting Sherrod to indicate how no one had her back.
"If I tried to fight it, but I didn't have support of the Agriculture Administration, so what was I suppose to do."
Sherrod later on was dismayed at NAACP leader Ben Jealous' rapid condemnation of her last night, and she had every right to be upset with him as well. Jealous has done a terrific job as ahead of the NAACP, and has struck the right tone especially in regards to the whole Tea Party-NAACP saga of this preceding week.
But Jealous, just like the White House, panicked too quickly last night and now looks very silly for making a rare embarrassing mistake, compounding the slaughtering Sherrod is taking now in a desperate attempt to avoid getting assailed by the right wing media as a "hypocrite" (even though they will always attack him and the NAACP no matter what).
Moreover, what this shows is how, EVEN IF THEY AREN'T TELLING THE FULL TRUTH, the right wing nutcases still drive the media at any chance they can get with altered soundbites or out of context quotes.
In short, the media's program directors (and apparently the White House) still are sometimes run by the Drudge and Drudge wannabe lackeys still contaminating our already contaminated media.
Update: And here is video of the white farmer's wife defending Sherrod:
The White House and everyone at the Agriculture Department should be ashamed of themselves after seeing that video.

no one knew who the artist was or even how i could find out. The song had male vocals and a heavy synth (which made it hard to make out the lyrics) but the chorus sounded like he was saying " somebody makes me shine" and he was saying it alot.
I'm dying for this song....seriously!

Kurdish (Central) is a language of Iraq. Central Kurdish has a classification of Indo-European, Indo-Iranian, Iranian, Western, Northwestern, and Kurdish.
Regions Spoken: Central Kurdish is spoken in areas like: South of the Great Zab River, in the provinces of Suleimaniye, Arbil, Kirkuk, Khanaqin, and Mandali. The Kurdish speakers are all over the world, like Western Europe, USA and Iran
Population: The population of people who speak Central Kurdish in Iraq is 462,000, as of 2004. The total population of people who speak Central Kurdish in the whole world is 3,712,000 (this means that 3,250,000 people speak central Kurdish outside Iraq).
Alternate Name: Some other names for Kurdish (Central) are Kurdi and Sorani.
Dialects: Some dialects of Kurdish (Central) are Hewleri (Arbili), Xoshnaw, Pizhdar, Suleimani (Silemani), Warmawa, Rewandiz, Bingird, Mukri, Kerkuki, and Garmiyani.
Brief History: Central Kurdish is an official language. It is a language of wider communication and a language with a positive attitude. The fictional standard of the language is based on Sorani (from Suleimaniye). Central Kurdish was used in modified Arabic script. People who speak Central Kurdish tend to be of the Muslim (Sunni) faith.
Kurdish is the language of more than twenty million Kurds living in a vast unbroken territory.
Kurdish belongs to the family of Indo-European languages and to the Irano-Aryan group of this family. Kurdish, the language of the Kurds, which belongs to the north-westem group of Irano-Aryan languages, has never had the opportunity to become unified and its dialects are generally separated into three groups with distinct similarities between them.
The biggest group, as regards the number of people who speak it, is the northern Kurdish, commonly called "Kurmanjî", spoken by the Kurds living in Turkey, Syria, the USSR and by some of the Kurd's living in Iran and Iraq.
This language is also spoken by 200,000 Kurdophones settled around Kabul, in Afghanistan.

text: I just purchased a Kahr P9 a week ago. Serial # starts with YA. I fired over 300 rounds, including 100 rounds of my carry ammo, and it was 100 % reliable. My question is that on the left side of the frame, just below where the trigger , there is a fairly large blemish on the frame. It almost looks like something was melted on it. It's not notiable when you look at the gun from the side. The mark is on the underneath part of the frame. Is this where they put the new pin that holds the trigger pin in place? I know the earlier P9's had a problem with the trigger pin coming loose. Is it possible that this is what this mark is and they just did a sloppy job of putting it in? I can live with it because so far the gun has been absolutely reliable, I was just wondering for my piece of mind. Thanks for any info.....stay safe

CLEVELAND, Ohio – Indians right-hander Danny Salazar started his second consecutive home opener Friday, exactly one year, 38 miles and two galaxies apart.
Such is the life of a phenom.
He didn't win, but on a day when all else eventually went according to plan for the Indians, he didn't lose, either. Salazar pitched 5 2/3 innings and left with a 2-0 deficit the Indians soon erased en route to a 7-2 victory over the Twins in wet and windy Progressive Field.
A year ago to the day, Salazar also pitched the home opener – for the Class AA Akron Aeros, in a 2-1 loss.
Salazar, currently slotted as the No. 4 starter with loftier expectations, struggled early Friday, but pitched through it like a veteran, not a 24-year-old who just made his first opening-day big-league roster. He was the youngest Indians pitcher to start a home opener since Hall of Famer Dennis Eckersley, 21, did so in 1976.
"I didn't have my good stuff tonight, but I tried to fight, to keep the team in the game,'' he said. "I was a little nervous in the beginning, but after I threw the first pitch, it was a normal game.''
Well, not completely normal, at least for a guy who sparkled when he became a permanent starter last season and struck out 65 hitters in his first 10 starts.
Salazar and everyone else in the sold-out stadium sat through a 2-hour, 13-minute pregame delay because the Indians decided to wait for a cold front to pass through, which it eventually did, leaving a 22 mph wind in its wake and a stadium that felt like winter once again.
Salazar started cold and the Twins made him pay with two runs on two hits in the first inning. Brian Dozier led off with a double to center and scored on a sacrifice fly. Chris Colabello slammed a solo homer to right-center.
"Last year (in Akron), it was like the same thing with the weather,'' he said. "I was watching my video (between innings), and I was pulling a little bit to the side with my delivery, and that's something I wasn't doing last year, and that's why I sometimes struggled a little bit with my pitches.''
The top of the Twins lineup got him to again in the fifth. Dozier singled, Joe Mauer doubled and Josh Willingham was intentionally walked to load the bases with one out. Salazar got Colabello out on a sinking liner to Jason Kipnis and Trevor Plouffe grounded out.
"That was really big. I kept the team in the game there,'' Salazar said. "I was trying to stay calm, but at the same time thinking, 'Why can't I keep the ball down?' I know I can, but it was a little bit hard for me.''
Salazar's line: 5 2/3 innings, seven hits, two runs, three walks and four strikeouts. Manager Terry Francona compared the outing to the previous starts by Zach McAllister and Corey Kluber.
"Danny's got plenty of stuff, and he doesn't back down, which is good,'' Francona said. "Like Zach and Corey, he battled his fastball command and wasn't throwing his breaking ball really where he wanted to.
"(The Twins) were sitting on one pitch and he wasn't commanding it. I thought we were kind of fortunate they didn't spread the lead out. They hit some balls really on the nose to left field that went nowhere because of the wind. We probably caught a break there.
"(Salazar, McAllister and Kluber) probably are more mature than their innings show. I think their command will improve.''
Salazar was pulled with two outs in the sixth and Josh Outman relieved for the final out. Outman picked up the win when the Indians scored three runs in the bottom of the sixth.
Salazar's start also represented a book-end of sorts for he and the Indians. He started the wild-card playoff loss last year in Progressive Field, which completed his remarkable rookie year climb from Akron prospect to Cleveland starter.
Though he didn't pitch like he did last year, Salazar said he's the same guy, and he felt Friday as though last season never ended.
"When the season was over, I went back to the Dominican and spent a couple months there, but right now, we just got here, and it feels like we are still in the same season. I feel like I didn't go home to the Dominican,'' he said.
That sounds like a guy who is at home now, pitching chilly Ohio home openers.

GRAND RAPIDS – A series of hits and misses led to a nearly two decade delay in charging someone for the slaying of an 8-year-old girl.
But Assistant Kent County Prosecutor Kellee Koncki told a jury today that police never forgot about Lativia Johnson, shot to death on Dec. 18, 1993, and that led to Robert Gaines facing life in prison if convicted after this week's trial.
In her opening statement, Koncki told the jury that while Gaines may not have meant to kill the little girl, he planned to kill someone and Lativia was the victim of his desire for revenge against someone he believed robbed and assaulted his friend.
"She was in the wrong place at the wrong time – those are (Gaines') words," Koncki said.
She told the jury that she planned to bring forward testimony from people who knew Brown and the defendant and from those Gaines told that he killed the girl with a shotgun blast outside her window as she went for a cup of milk at the house on Ionia Avenue SW.
Family of Lativia are lined up in the courtroom watching Gaines as he impassively listens.
Gaines attorney John Beason will speak to the jury this morning as the trial gets underway in Kent County Circuit Court.

QUESTION: Should The LGBT Community Demand More From Our Allies?
We go to their concerts, buy their music, watch them clash with other Real Housewives, and drool over every shirtless video they release, but what have our "allies" done for us lately?
As Alec Baldwin showed us last week, some are only a mild frustration away from becoming f-bomb-dropping homophobes.
One almost expects a Bravo reality star to ride in a float during a pride parade or show face at a glitzy gala. And while Macklemore and Ryan Lewis cash checks and gay bars across the country are filled to the gills with aspiring pop divas who so desperately want to be the next Big Gay Thing, we pose the question to you Queerty readers:
Should The LGBT Community Demand More From Our Allies?
To borrow from Doug Wright, I would demand that they stop caring more about their pay and take-home income than our right to live as legal and social equals. In short, if you use your vote, money, or time to help a candidate who would further our inequality, you are not my ally, and you are certainly not my friend.
Also, unless you're a hot, dom top, stop using the "F" word.
If you are referring to people in the entertainment industry, we expect them not to be jerks or bigots. But please, Please, PLEASE do not suggest that we need their profound and deep wisdom in developing our political agenda or public policy positions. God save us!
How about "expect something" rather than "expect more"?
I'm tired of people being held up as gay icons because they *gasp* acknowledge we exist and don't hate us! Because they wants us to buy their music? Because they want to cash in on marketing to us? Because they include us in an advert? Because they say a little nice thing?
None of these are bad things (except for people like Katy Perry dropping homophobic lyrics then trying to cash in as an icon) per se – but they're basic minimal standards of humanity. They're barely civil politeness. They're not support, they're not helping us and they're not fighting besides us or for us
You're not an ally if your "advocacy" is marketing and benefits you more than it does us. A decent person? Sure! Not hostile? Definitely. But not an ally
Without an agreed upon definition of Ally, the question posed is a stupid one.
@Spike: I think the term "ally" in this instance refers to a straight person who supports the rights of the LGBT community.
To answer the question (in a way), the community needs to stop using that word so liberally. A good pop song or shirtless photo spread does not an ally make. True allies use all of the resources available to them to further aid a cause that is dear to them, without expectation of publicity, praise, or reward. They do these thing because it is right. While I want to believe that celebrities really do support rights the community is fighting for, I know that some are just pandering. The proof lies in their actions.
The LGBT community should only demand more from its own.
Can you really expect someone to be your ally when all he is interested in is your money, attention, and support without having any intention to stick up for you when push comes to shove?
There is no point of demanding something. Fakers and flukes will always find an excuse why they didn't take your side and then expect you to support them anyway. Actions speak louder than words after all.
Quality over quantity. Keep and support the true and genuine allies who stuck their necks out for you in the past / present and cut the fake pandering hanger ons loose.
Allies support the community when something is in it for them, specifically brand awareness. G/L dollars are strong and all the 'Allies' are vying for them. Don't get it twisted, there are no real allies, just a wolf in sheep's clothing wanting your cash.
Agree with Degas, the community should demand more from its own.
Macklemore shouldn't have to become an activist because he did a song about marriage equality that we fully embraced. Are we really that desperate? I'd hate to think of all of the music and movies we wouldn't see from straight artists because they don't want to be held up by such a needy group of people.
@Sparkyu1: Can you tell me which Katy Perry song has the homophobic lyrics? I searched but I can't find it.
Short answer: No
If they are TRUE allies and not just trying to get rich or get fame off of our dollars, the how can I make a demand of you
The most phony of allies are these female pop singers who claim to be on our side but are basically using us for cash.
@DShucking: "Ur So Gay"
Which Allies?
I don't care as much about the entertainment industry, though I AM sick of straight actors trying to talk about what man they find handsome and would kiss to try to get gay fans. That is an OLD OLD OLD line and it has worn thin.
What I DID get VERY sick of was HRC head Joe Solomnase continually trying to tell the gay community to sit down and shut up and not to worry if our "Friends" in Congress voted against gay rights, because, gee, they really like us, but just can't show that right now.
Or when Barney Frank told the gay community to stop complaining and marching and said the community was acting like children and should lobby Congress like any business does.
Well Joe Solomnase is gone and so is Barney Frank, and obviously they were both wrong. I hope groups like HRC realize that it was pressuring our "Allies" that got us the civil rights advances in the last few years.
@Sharkey: Oh. Never heard of it. I looked at the lyrics and I don't want to say they're homophobic because I assume there's some sort of pop irony to it that she thought was clever. But it's pretty rude, uncaring and disrespectful of us, for sure.

What is in this article?:
- New variety sets grade standards
- Yield and grade top priorities
- Special 4-H project
- W. Texas farmer likes new cotton variety.
- Likes flexibility of conventional cotton.
- Optimistic about making a crop despite dry start.
More About:
Special 4-H project
The variety also helped with a special project. Some of the lint from the seed block was ginned, spun, woven and dyed at the Cotton Incorporated research facility in Cary, N.C. Kater Hake, Cotton Incorporated Vice President for Agricultural Research, presented Eric and his wife Kim with a bolt of the cloth made from that cotton. Their daughter Kimberly, 13, cut about a yard of fabric from the bolt and made a dress for her 4-H project, earning a blue ribbon for the effort.
She plans to expand that project for district competition with a display showing the process of turning a cotton seed into an article of clothing. She'll show steps from planting, to harvest, to ginning to manufacturing a finished product.
Silhan's oldest son, Jacob, 17, plans a career on the farm after school and has worked on his own operation since he was about 12 years old. "He wants to sell calves," Eric says. They maintain a herd of 65 mama cows and raise mostly club calves.
The Silhans also have a 9-year old son, Matthew.
Eric was watching the weather back in early April, hoping for a good "planting rain" to get the 2011 crop off to a good start. The area has been dry since last fall.
"It's dry but I'm not that concerned about it," he says. "I believe we will be blessed before it's over. I'll be optimistic. We always get a rain at some point. We always harvest something."

Beck's "Restoring Honor" rally at the Lincoln Memorial was held on the anniversary of the rally at which Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his historic "I Have a Dream" speech. Beck said he hadn't planned the date for that reason, but called it "divine providence" that the dates concurred. He even slept at the same hotel King used before the 1963 rally.
But comparisons only go so far. In the years leading up to the 1963 rally, King traveled the country to stand up against the systematic oppression of his people. His message at the rally grew out of that, and was crystal clear. It was also inherently political — part of the inexorable drumbeat that led to the passage of the nation's landmark civil rights legislation just a year later.
"We can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities," King said in that "Dream" speech. "We cannot be satisfied as long as the Negro's basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one. We can never be satisfied as long as a Negro in Mississippi cannot vote and a Negro in New York believes he has nothing for which to vote. No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until 'justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream.'"
Beck's claim to fame is his broadcast career, which is overtly political, sometimes mean-spirited and occasionally downright bizarre. But Saturday's rally was, by design, not political. It has been described as part family picnic, part religious revival. Even Sarah Palin, who spoke at the rally, didn't have a political axe to grind.
Why not? Why hold a massive rally on the anniversary of King's famous speech, on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, if there is no political message attached?
After all, Beck and Palin, and presumably most of their followers, are vehemently opposed to President Obama's health care reform, his stimulus bill, his "apologetic" foreign policy (Palin did take a glancing dig at that), his stances on immigration and climate change and most of his other policies.
Instead of raising any of those issues, Beck spoke of honor and of faith, hope and charity. There were no specifics — perhaps because specifics would have made it clear that Beck's agenda and King's might as well have come from different planets.
King wanted the federal government to address his people's persecution. He wanted an activist government to raise up the nation's poor and oppressed. Beck and Palin, conversely, want less government. They deride "Obamacare," which aims to bring health insurance to millions of America's poorest citizens. They embraced the "death panel" lie about a provision that would have reimbursed physicians to provide compassionate end-of-life counseling to those who cannot afford it. They condemn tax and social policies designed to help poor people as "socialism" and "redistribution of wealth."
King's intentions were clear. We're still not sure what Beck is up to.

IceCaps are Ben Maxwell's seventh team in less than two years
Ben Maxwell, seen here during an NHL pre-season game with the Winnipeg Jets at Mile One Centre, is back in St. John's and playing for the IceCaps after being picked up on waivers from the Anaheim Ducks last weekend. — Photo by The Canadian Press
All things considered, Ben Maxwell performed pretty well Wednesday at Mile One Centre in his first game for the St. John's IceCaps, but perhaps his best shift of the night came after the 5-3 loss to the Syracuse Crunch.
That was when he appeared outside the IceCaps' dressing room — tired out from travel and toil, and maybe in need of a GPS to properly orient himself — to patiently answer reporters' questions. He even managed to summon up a little humour through his obvious fatigue.
"Absolutely. I have no winter coats left. Sold them all ... no that last part is not really true," he answered with a wry smile when asked if he had learned to be a light packer because of his recent hockey history — which has seen him play with seven different team in the space of 20 a months, including a recent stint in southern California with the National Hockey League's Anaheim Ducks.
Maxwell's pro hockey career started quite normally. Drafted by the Montreal Canadiens in the second round of the 2006 NHL Entry Draft, he played two-plus seasons with the American Hockey League's Hamilton Bulldogs, with a couple of promotions to the Canadiens along the way.
But in February of this year, he was traded to the Atlanta Thrashers in the deal that brought defenceman Brent Sopel to the Canadiens. And so began a nine-month odyssey that saw him move from Hamilton to the AHL's Chicago Wolves and then to Atlanta. This fall, after the Thrashers moved to Manitoba and became the Jets, he played four games for Winnipeg before being claimed on waivers by the Ducks. But then, when Anaheim placed in on waivers on the weekend, he was reclaimed by the Jets, who immediately assigned him to St. John's.
All that movement begets travel, including a cross-continent journey that saw him leave Los Angeles Monday afternoon on a flight that landed in Toronto at 11 a.m. He made it to his hotel around 1 a.m., grabbed a few hours sleep and was back up at 6 a.m. Wednesday to catch a flight to St. John's, where he played that evening.
In other words, there was no telling what his watch said.
"I'm getting used to it. I've had quite a few teams in the last calendar year of hockey, so it's nothing new to me. It's part of the game, part of the business. But is was funny playing against guys who were teammates yesterday," said Maxwell, who found himself up against Syracuse goalie Jeff Drouin-Deslauriers, sent to the Crunch by Anaheim earlier this week.
In fact, there's a good chance that if the Jets hadn't claimed Maxwell, he too would have been assigned to Syracuse and playing against the IceCaps, instead of for them. Maxwell didn't have a point Wednesday and was minus-one, but on the ice at least,he didn't show too many signs of the mental or physical fatigue he must have been feeling.
"In professional hockey, you have to be on your game at all times. That's what I tried to do," said the 23-year-old North Vancouver, B.C. native, who is also trying to maintain his confidence amidst all the transactions, including convincing himself the trades, claims and reclaims only mean that teams want him.
"I hope so. I know was happy to get a chance and tried to make the most of it," said Maxwell, who had an assist and was plus-two in six games with Anaheim, giving him a goal and two assists in 42 total NHL games with the Canadiens, Thrashers, Jets and Ducks.
In his first appearance with the Caps, Maxwell was pivot for a line that included two other natural centres, Patrice Cormier and Eric O'Dell. It was a situation created, in part, by a shortage of wingers on Wednesday. Carl Klingberg and Jason Jaffray were on recall to Winnipeg; Riley Holzapfel and Shawn Weller were injured, with neither is expected to play until after Christmas; and rookie John Albert was also sidelined with a day-to-day ailment.
You can now add Jason King to the latter list. The Corner Brook native, who shares the St. John's goal-scoring lead with Kingberg (they each have nine), was hurt in the first period of Wednesday's game and did not return.
King was examined by doctors Thursday, but St. John's head coach Keith McCambridge couldn't say if he would be available for tonight's game against the visiting Worcester Sharks. And as for Albert, McCambridge said he is doubtful for tonight. If neither King or Albert can go tonight, look for recent arrival Daniel Koger to draw into the lineup for St. John's (15-5-5). Koger was a healthy scratch Wednesday after playing his first AHL game Tuesday in a 4-3 win over Syracuse.
Notes: Defenceman Kyle Bushee, who didn't play in either game against the Crunch, has been returned to the Wheeling Nailers of the ECHL. Bushee had a goal, two assists and a plus-one rating in eight games with St. John's, and acquitted himself well during his time here. However, with the return of Brett Festerling from Winnipeg, Bushee became the eighth defenceman of the IceCaps' roster ... Worcester (8-6-6) is led in scoring by rearguard Matt Irwin, who has seven goals and nine assists through 20 games ... If you are looking for a word to describe the AHL Sharks, "big" would suffice. Worcester has a half-dozen players listed with both heights and weights at six-foot-three and 220 pounds or more ... The 50-50 draw at IceCaps games, which has already created a buzz with steady five-figure payouts, is guaranteed to be that much more popular tonight as there is a guaranteed prize of $15,000 ... Tonight's game and Sunday 2 p.m. rematch between Worcester and St. John's at Mile One constitute the Caps' last home games of 2011. The team finishes off its December schedule one the road, with a week-long Christmas break in between ... Tonight's game, which starts at 7:30 p.m., is being broadcast on Rogers TV, This Is Newfoundland Labrador, Radio 930 AM, and online, with connections through the radio station's and IceCaps websites. Brian Rogers pre-game show on radio begins at approximately 7 p.m.

Moriwaki wins national award
Bainbridge resident Clarence Moriwaki has been nationally recognized for his work on the Japanese-American Memorial being built in Eagledale.
The National Parks Conservation Association, an advocacy organization for the National Parks System, has honored Moriwaki with their highest designation, the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Award. The recognition honors conservationists who advocate and fight to protect the National Park System across the country.
Northwest regional director of NPCA, Sean Smith, said Moriwaki was a shoe-in as the organization's conservationist of the year.
"This award is given to individuals who have done the most to protect national parks and he was hands down our choice," Smith said. "It's largely due to his work, and sometimes single-handed efforts, to get the Eagledale ferry terminal added to the National Parks System."
Moriwaki has been working on the Nidoto Nai Yoni ("Let it not happen again") Memorial since 2001.
"I was really stunned when I was told the news," Moriwaki said. "When I got the letter I thought it was a regional award. When I was told it was a national award, I thought they were joking. I had no idea I was even nominated."
The Bainbridge memorial is a satellite of the Minidoka Internment National Monument in Idaho. The Eagledale ferry site was given National Parks status last year.
Moriwaki, the chairman of the Bainbridge Island Japanese American Memorial Committee, expressed his gratitude to the many Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII.
"This award is a recognition of the event we are trying to commemorate and honor," Moriwaki said. "It's really humbling and I am working on the speech. I don't know how long it would take to thank 120,000 people, but remembering, honoring and thanking all those people, that is why I am thrilled."
The Marjory Stoneman Douglas Award has been in existence since 1985. Moriwaki is the second Northwest resident to be honored, the first was Polly Dyer in 1989.
Former Washington Gov. Mike Lowry will present Moriwaki with the award during a private reception and ceremony scheduled for Feb. 18 at IslandWood.

Missouri will take an experienced team into the NCAA tournament when it faces Colorado State in the second round of the Midwest regional Thursday night at 7:20 p.m. in Lexington, Ky.
Senior center Alex Oriakhi won a national championship back in the 2010-2011 as a sophomore at Connecticut. Shooting guard Laurence Bowers, the team's leading scorer, has quality experience in the Big Dance and junior point guard, Phil Pressey, a first-team All-SEC choice, scored 20 points in last year's upset loss against Norfolk State.
"I think those guys' experience and talking to the players about you know, 'One game at a time'," Missouri coach Frank Haith said. "I know it's coach speak but I think that's the way you gotta look at it and playing with a sense of urgency because you know this could be the last time you lace your sneakers up."
The Tigers, technically an underdog as ninth-seed matching up against No. 8 Colorado State, came into last year's Big Dance on the heels of a Big 12 championship. They garnered a No. 2 seed and were promptly bounced out of their first game, falling to the lowly Spartans of the Mideastern Athletic Conference 86-84 in a game in which three NSU players score 20 points or more.
Hopefully, Haith said, his team has already suffered its most disappointing loss in March.
Missouri (23-10) was seeded sixth in the SEC tournament last week in Nashville after going 11-7 in conference play during the regular season. The Tigers defeated Texas A&M 62-50 behind a balanced scoring effort led by Oriakhi's 13 points and 10 rebounds. They led by as many as 14 against third-seeded Ole Miss, then fighting for its tourney hopes, only to wind up losing a heartbreaker when Rebels' backup point guard Derrick Millinghaus hit a runner in the lane with 1.1 seconds to go to lift his team to a 64-62 win in the quarterfinals.
Colorado State (25-8) finished as runner-up in the Mountain West Conference to UNLV. It's led by 6-foot-10 senior Colton Iverson, who is averaging nearly 15 points and 10 rebounds per game.
The Tigers, who were one game out of being the No. 2 seed in the SEC tournament, were never a seriously considered a bubble team. They did enough in November and December to hold down a spot in the NCAA tournament. Their resume includes non-conference matchups against five teams tabbed for the tournament and wins against VCU, Bucknell and Illinois, ranked No. 10 in the country at the time.
"When you play that level of competition it definitely helps," Haith said.
They fell 97-94 in overtime against UCLA, seeded No. 6 in the South Regional, a loss which, in the grand scheme of things might've helped them as well.
Now, it's time to see if those experiences will help them stick around on the big stage.

Spain international striker David Villa, 31, was linked with Arsenal heavily during the January transfer window. It was a move never materialized and Villa has remained with Barcelona.
The rumors, however, have continued in stops and starts.
Late last month, the Daily Mirror's John Cross reported that Villa was looking to force a move away from Barcelona in search of more playing time. But, as Cross wrote, Arsenal were no longer interested.
More recently, the Spanish publication AS has reported that Arsenal and Barcelona have a €15 million pre-contract agreement in place for Villa's transfer to Arsenal this summer (via Caught Offside).
The rumors will be sorted out in time, but for now, we're weighing the pros and cons of Arsenal potentially signing Villa.

Desperate times have arrived for the LSU basketball team.
When the Tigers take on Mississippi State at 7 p.m. Wednesday at the PMAC, there has not been a more must-win situation this season.
LSU (15-9, 6-6 SEC) has lost three of its last four games - all on the road - and is grasping at the fringes of remaining an NCAA Tournament team. The good news is that the Tigers have been as solid as anybody in the SEC at home, with a 5-1 league record.
The other good news is that the Bulldogs (13-12, 3-9 SEC) come in reeling more than LSU.
State has lost seven games in a row and only one has been decided by single digits. This is a game where the Tigers have matchup advantages at every position and it's vital that they exploit those advantages and get back on the beam.

The reaction from around the web ...
Jason Quick, New general manager Rich Cho had the answers the Blazers wanted in his backpack:
Cho was a late-charging dark horse in the search, which was entering its fourth week after Kevin Pritchard was fired on June 24. Initially intent on hiring a candidate with general manager experience who was adept at making trades and recruiting free agents, Miller instead chose Cho, who has been the assistant general manager for Seattle and Oklahoma City for the past eight seasons.
Oklahoma City general manager Sam Presti said Cho is well versed in the skills of a general manager. Cho was heavily involved in every trade or free agent signing because his mathematics and legal background made him a valuable resource in translating the league's complicated Collective Bargaining Agreement, he said.
Darnell Mayberry, The Oklahoman, Thunder's Rich Cho named new Portland Trail Blazers GM:
Cho was as integral as any person in the Thunder's organization. He spent 12 seasons with the Thunder/Sonics franchise. Last season, he handled contract negotiations, salary cap and Collective Bargaining Agreement matters, player contracts and all player personnel issues.
Brian T. Smith, The Columbian, Humbled Cho reflects on dream-like journey:
Even when he began to crack the ceiling — earning an internship with the Seattle SuperSonics while studying law at Pepperdine — Cho still had to rough it. Since Cho was not making livable money with the Sonics, he was forced to sleep on the floor of his brother's apartment at the University of Washington.
Cho remembered the space as being as big as a pallet. And Cho's tiny home was located right next to a noisy kitchen.
"As I move up the ladder, my brother reminds me: 'You slept on my floor, man.' " Cho said, showing off a wide smile.
Ben Golliver, Blazersedge, Meet Rich Cho:
Cho fits nicely in that respect given his experience on both sides of the SuperSonics/Thunder organization. It's not just his understanding of the salary cap and salary structures -- which have long been hailed as impressive -- but it's the dollars and cents, expenditures versus revenue side too. The Blazers are shifting into an era where every decision becomes more costly, thanks to their luxury tax situation, pending contract extensions for key pieces like Greg Oden, Nicolas Batum and Jerryd Bayless and the potential for a lockout and a re-writing of the Collective Bargaining Agreement. As good as Kevin Pritchard and company were at managing their salary cap and finding undervalued assets, Sam Presti and Cho have been as good or better. And when it comes to entering this new era, Pritchard's basketball operations only resume, on paper, is less appealing than Cho's.
Personality conflicts between members of the business and basketball operations eventually devolved into a power struggle this year. In Cho, you have an executive that can relate to Miller's point of view, based on his experience, in a way that Pritchard simply couldn't. Whether that's a good thing or bad thing for the organization remains to be seen. But it's certainly a good thing for Miller.
Jerry Brewer, Seattle Times, Portland Trail Blazers hire former Sonic GM Rich Cho as new GM:
Cho is an amazing story, and being the first Asian-American to hold this kind of NBA job is only part of it. Cho, 44, was born in Myanmar. His family moved to the United States in 1968 and settled in Federal Way.
He's a graduate of Decatur High School and Washington State. After college, he worked for five years as an engineer at Boeing, but then he decided to go to law school. While working on that law degree at Pepperdine, he took an internship with the Sonics in 1995. He became a lawyer and worked his way up the organization.
He was the Sonics' director of basketball affairs, then the vice president of legal, then the assistant general manager. He remained with them through relocation to Oklahoma City. Now, even though he's known more as a capologist, contract guru and statistics analyst than a talent evaluator, he is the man charged with turning a young and talented Blazers team into a title contender.
Henry Abbott, TrueHoop, A quick chat with Rich Cho:
Now I feel I have a unique perspective on that Oden and Durant draft. There were two number one picks in that draft. I'm sure the people who were in Portland at the time saw it the same way.
I'll tell you this: Greg was playing really well before he got injured and I'm glad to have him on this team.
Coup, Rip City Project, Why Cho is the right choice:
What the hiring signals, after a never ending stream of mishandled situations, there are still intelligent people are the head of this organization. They identified the right candidate and got him. That's all you want from a Team President and Owner. Efficient and effective. Well done by Allen and Larry Miller, for not only finding Cho, but for keeping the Blazers at the front of the league in terms of foward-thinking front offices. The Blazers will still have a presence in analytical circles like SLOAN, they will still do their due diligence with thorough scouting around the world and they will listen to progressive voices. And it doesn't have to be a lateral move. Cho could be better than what the Blazers had and have.
Mike Barrett, Rich Cho's Time:
While with the Sonics, Cho took this new age of scouting to a new level. He got together with a couple of Microsoft programmers and helped design and implement one of the NBA's first, and most advanced and comprehensive college and professional player-evaluation systems. It integrates player statistics, scouting information, and contract details. It's become the model that nearly everyone has attempted to duplicate.
The fact that the Thunder have thrived in recent years in acquiring top-level talent, while maintaining financial discipline, is no accident, and Thunder general manager Sam Presti has lobbed a ton of credit in Cho's direction.

Snow and Gusty Winds Possible Saturday Night & Sunday
An area of low pressure will move from South Central Canada into the Northern Plains region Saturday Night into Sunday. Light accumulating snow and gusty northerly winds are expected to accompany the low. Reduced visibilities in falling or blowing snow, and snow accumulating on roads making them icy, may impact travel over portions of the local area. HOWEVER, uncertainty remains on the exact track of this storm system. A farther west track will put the best chances for snow over western North Dakota, while a farther east track will put the best chances for snow over portions of central North Dakota and the Red River Valley Region. Stay tuned for updates!!

Wolves cruise past Crusaders
Two weeks without a game and the Coupeville Wolves were chomping at the bit to play someone, anyone.
Weve been practicing for over a week without a game, CHS head coach Randy King said. I think they were getting tired of playing against each other.
The Wolves eagerness to hit the court showed on Tuesday when in their first game since Dec. 20, they dismantled league opponent Shoreline Christian 73-53.
Yeah, it did (feel good), King said. We showed up here to play, ready to go.
And there was no question Coupeville was ready to go as it controlled the tempo of the game offensively and defensively right from the tip.
Six-foot-six sophomore Brian Miller got CHS off to a hot start, scoring 10 of his 16 points in the first quarter and helping the Wolves to a 16-3 lead at the end of one.
He got a great start, King said. He got the ball right where he wanted and he hit his shots.
Also key to the fast start was the defense. Seniors Mike Bagby and J.J. Marti locked down the Crusaders top two offensive players, James Vermeer and Grant Brandal. Bagbys constant harassment of the point guard, Vermeer, led to nine first-half turnovers, while Marti held the top scorer Brandal to just four points in the first half.
That was a great start, King said. Thats just what we want to do to opponents.
Coupeville kept its intensity up through the entire first half, taking a 33-16 lead into the locker room.
The Wolves, who shot 45 percent for the game, continued to get good looks in the second half to maintain their lead.
I liked the shots we got too, King said. That helps when you get those kind of looks.
Bagby, who averages 22 points per game, came alive in the second half. After scoring just eight in the first, he rattled off 21 in the second half for a game-high 29 points.
Mike was just lights out from the floor, King said.
Coupevilles largest lead of the game was by 27 points, which they reached on four separate occasions in the fourth quarter. Shoreline Christian pulled within 12 early in the third quarter, but thats as close as they got.
With the win Coupeville moved to 2-1 in the Northwest A/B and 4-5 overall. The Wolves are on the road for three straight league games, starting with last nights contest at Orcas Island. They travel to Concrete and La Conner, before facing Friday Harbor at 5 p.m., Tuesday, Jan. 17 at CHS.
Shoreline 3 13 18 19 53
Coupeville 16 17 19 21 73
Scoring: Coupeville-Bagby 29, Miller 16, OKeefe 9, Smith 7, Marti 6, Larson 4, Kelley 2. Shoreline Christian-Brandal 18, Groen 14, Wahlman 8, De Yager 5, Vermeer 3, Weiford 3, Buck 2.

Environmental Documents
The National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) is the cornerstone of our Nation's environmental laws and was enacted to ensure that information on the environmental impacts of any Federal, or federally funded, action is available to public officials and citizens before decisions are made and before actions are taken. This Act also established the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) in the Executive Office of the President to formulate and recommend national policies which ensure that the programs of the Federal government promote improvement of the quality of the environment. The NEPA review process is intended to help public officials make decisions that are based on an understanding of environmental consequences, and take actions that protect, restore, and enhance the environment. NEPA's Forty Most Asked Questions.
The CEQ set forth regulations, Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations 1500-1508, to assist Federal agencies in implementing NEPA during the planning phases of any federal action. These regulations together with specific Federal agency NEPA implementation procedures help to ensure that the environmental impacts of any proposed decisions are fully considered and that appropriate steps are taken to mitigate potential environmental impacts.
Environmental Document Review Level
CX = Categorical Exclusion - Categorical exclusions are categories of actions which Federal agencies have determined do not have a significant effect on the quality of the human environment (individually or cumulatively) and for which, therefore, neither an EA nor an EIS is generally required (40 CFR 1508.4). Departmental policy requires that categorically excluded actions be subjected to sufficient environmental review to determine whether they meet any of the exceptions to categorical exclusion (516 DM 2). Each time a specific categorical exclusions is used, the required review must be prepared.
EA = Environmental Assessment - An environmental assessment (EA) must be prepared for proposed actions that (1) are not exempt from NEPA, (2) have not been categorically excluded, (3) have not been covered in an existing Resource Management Plan EIS or other environmental analysis, or (4) do not normally or obviously require an EIS. An EA may be prepared for any action at any time to assist in planning and decision making.
EIS = Environmental Impact Statement - When a proposed action, including a proposed policy or legislative recommendation, is projected to have a significant impact on the quality of the human environment, an environmental impact statement (EIS) must be prepared. An EIS is intended to provide decision makers and the public with a complete and objective evaluation of significant environmental impacts, both beneficial and adverse, resulting from a proposed action and all reasonable alternatives. An EIS is a major vehicle for fulfilling the substantive environmental goals set forth in NEPA.

Adoption at the UN General Assembly of resolutions aimed at combating female genital mutilation and violence against women (December 21, 2012)
France welcomes yesterday's adoption by consensus at the UN General Assembly of the resolution on increasing global efforts to eliminate female genital mutilation. This is the first resolution adopted by the UNGA on this issue. It aims to prevent female genital mutilation and calls on the states to condemn these practices, to combat impunity and, in particular, to launch education campaigns to combat them.
France also welcomes the adoption by consensus on the same day of the resolution on increasing efforts to eliminate all forms of violence against women. France, together with the Netherlands, initiated this resolution, which was adopted by consensus and co-sponsored by 103 states. This resolution aims to protect women from violence and notably calls on the states to improve the legal framework for the protection of and support for women affected by violence. This is also the key theme of the next session of the Commission on the Status of Women (March 4 to 15, 2013).

No stealing for Marlins' speedsters
JUPITER, Fla. — On the bases, look for the Marlins to be on the run.
Well, the whole team will be attempting steals, except for the most likely candidates.
Manager Ozzie Guillen said on Sunday that he is giving the red light to Jose Reyes, Emilio Bonifacio and Hanley Ramirez.
"Reyes had some [hamstring injuries] in the past," Guillen said. "We're going to shut it down. Bonifacio, we know he can steal bases. And Hanley, it's precaution, make sure he is not sliding into the bag. It's precautionary.
"Everybody has to run, because I want to see people running."
The closer the Marlins get to Opening Day, the more you will start to see their projected top three hitters on the move.
Ramirez is coming off left shoulder surgery, and the team has discouraged him from diving or head-first sliding.
Reyes, of course, had his issues with hamstrings while with the Mets. So the team isn't sending him on steals in the first part of Spring Training.
Bonifacio stole 40 bases a year ago. The team knows what he can do.

Josh Newman of the Asbury Park Press tweeted the news earlier on Saturday.
Hagaman has flourished this season while taking on a bigger leadership role for 8-5 Manasquan. She's been a tough interior defender and has also shown the ability to take her offensive game outside of the paint. She also played a key role for last year's Tournament of Champions winners.
She's averaging 9.7 points, 8.1 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game and has blocked 18 shots. She's recorded four double-doubles and has scored 10 or more points in five games.
Hagaman went for a season-high 18 points in a 39-38 victory over Holmdel, ranked No. 12 in The Star-Ledger Top 20, on Dec. 18. She also grabbed 10 rebounds and blocked five shots in the game.

This coming Saturday, October 24th, from , the new Iron Hill Brewery in Maple Shade, NJ, will partner with the Flying Fish Brewing Company for a special "Brewer's Tasting Event." Featuring hand-crafted beers from both breweries, this event is a do-not-miss opportunity for
Flavorful offerings for the pay-as-you-go event will include: Iron Hill's Heywood Tripel, 2004 Barleywine, and Totally Inappropriate; alongside will be Flying Fish's Exit 4 American Tripel, Belgian Imperial Cru, and Grand Cru. These potent beers were chosen because they are prime examples of the higher alcohol, fuller flavored autumn and winter offerings at each brewery.
Flying Fish was the world's first "virtual" microbrewery, establishing an Internet presence as early as 1995. That presence helped to generate press interest and woo investors to the fledgling brewery, which would not open for business until late 1996. Flying Fish brews have been featured at the Great British Beer Festival, Oregon Brewers Festival, and

Twispers. Now that's a lost classic. If Fan Favorites was a classic rock station, Twispers would be our "Green-Eyed Lady" by Sugarloaf.
Plus it's been too long since that bastard Rob Gardner of Trader Publishing was put in his place.
Leave your suggestion for next week's Fan Favorite video in the comments!
