Who doesn't like the cool and crisp days of fall?
Who doesn't like the cool and crisp days of fall? As summer gives way to the beautiful colors of autumn, farmers are busy gathering the harvest and hoping to reap the benefits of a year's work.
While grain markets are currently high, there is a fine line for those who are happy with the results.
On one hand, you have the crop farmer whose expenses are producing the grain, and as long has he (or she) watches the expenses to produce that crop, they should at these prices come out with a good year.
At the same time the crop farmer is seeing benefits of a successful year, the livestock producer is looking at the cost of feeding the animals he (or she) is depending on for their livelihood too. With the cost of corn floating between $7.10 and $7.50 a bushel in the last seven days, one has to wonder when it comes time for those animals to hit the grocery store what the price will be for the consumers.
Expenses all around have increased. High grain markets yield high feed costs, yielding high livestock markets, yielding high food costs which also includes higher costs of shipping.
The cycle can be so vicious, one has to wonder when it will crash. Will we ever see a time our grandparents saw during the era of the great depression? Maybe not to that extreme locally. But there are individuals and families who have lost everything due to the economy in many places throughout the United States.
We need to be diligent and live within our means. A friend once told me a piece of advice he received from someone he respected very much, "If you can't afford it, don't buy it." What if we all lived like that? Cash in the bank. Emergency funds available if or when needed. Money for that car repair or even better a new or newer vehicle.
The official first day of Autumn is this Saturday, Aug. 22. Enjoy the beauty of God's paint brush as He bestows upon us breath-taking scenery.
Be safe and cautious during harvest. Remember to share the road, and enjoy the cool and crisp days ahead.
Thought for the week: Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower. – Albert Camus.

Comet ISON now visible
Did you get to see Hale Bopp when it went by in the late 90's? I was at the Oregon coast when I saw it.
Just last night I was reading an article about ISON being visible soon. If you live in the NW like I do, ISON is visible now with binoculars low in the east/southeast sky at about 6am - an hour before sunrise. Tomorrow morning, Thursday, looks like a good time to view it, if the Blue Mountains don't get in the way. Here's a website with more viewing directions.

A's rookie Parker to face star-laden Tigers
One team has the reigning MVP and another player who just won
the Triple Crown.
The Oakland Athletics will try to counter all that by sending –
who else? – a rookie to the mound.
"We've been the `David' all year," A's right-hander Jarrod
Parker said. "I think obviously it's a role and an image that
we've kind of taken on and been able to embrace and it's fun."
Parker will start against Detroit ace Justin Verlander in Game 1
of the division series Saturday night. The AL Central-champion
Tigers are making their second straight playoff appearance, but
Oakland emerged as one of the game's biggest surprises by winning
the AL West.
Now the A's have to contend with Triple Crown winner Miguel
Cabrera – the Detroit third baseman who might win the American
League MVP after Verlander took the award last year.
"We know we've got a great ballclub. We know what we have in
the clubhouse," Cabrera said. "We know we're going to face a very
hot team like Oakland. They play unbelievable baseball right
Cabrera hit .330 with 44 home runs and 139 RBIs to become the
first Triple Crown winner since 1967. But he wasn't the only big
story in the closing days of the regular season. The A's rallied to
win the AL West, edging Texas by one game when they beat the
Rangers on the final day.
Not bad for a team that had the lowest opening day payroll in
the majors. Oakland got 56 homers and 54 wins from a cast of
rookies that included Parker (13-8) and outfielder Yoenis Cespedes.
Rookie left-hander Tommy Milone, who matched Parker with 13 wins,
is slated to start Game 2.
"Obviously with Verlander going Game 1, you've got to be on
your game," Parker said. "We have a lot of left-handed bats that
are hot right now, and I think that's one thing we've got going for
Outfielder Josh Reddick, one of Oakland's left-handed hitters,
hit 32 home runs this year.
The series will start with two games in Detroit, where the
weather can be a factor this time of year. In 2006, the Tigers
swept the A's in the AL championship series, and there were snow
flurries at Comerica on a workout day between games. It rained a
bit Friday, but the forecast for Saturday looked clear.
That was good news for Verlander (17-8), the powerful
right-hander who had two playoff starts cut short by rain last
"I saw a little bit of rain today, but I saw actually on my
Twitter of all places that it's not – no rain in the forecast for
tomorrow," Verlander said.
Verlander led the majors in strikeouts this year, and Max
Scherzer – Detroit's Game 4 starter – finished second. That could
be an asset for the Tigers, especially since Oakland struck out
more than any other team. Detroit hasn't been very good defensively
in 2012, but if the A's aren't making consistent contact, it might
not matter.
The Tigers are expected to start Doug Fister in Game 2, followed
by Anibal Sanchez. Scherzer, who was bothered by a right shoulder
issue down the stretch, threw four innings in the regular-season
finale Wednesday – after twisting his right ankle two nights
earlier in the celebration after Detroit clinched the division. The
Tigers are content to wait until Game 4 to start him.
"The Scherzer situation – coming off a little bit of the ankle
situation and the shoulder – we decided that would be the best way
to go," Detroit manager Jim Leyland said. "It would also – just
by pitching him, Sanchez in front of Scherzer – would keep Sanchez
from keeping off too long."
The A's begin the postseason days after the death of reliever
Pat Neshek's newborn son. Neshek is back with the team for this
"As soon as I got out there and started playing catch, it takes
your mind off all the bad stuff," Neshek told reporters. "It's a
good way of healing. . I don't think we'll ever get over it, but
this is a good way to put the pieces back together."

What are the chances of a columnist getting email requests for help from authors on two different continents precisely one hour apart � and both of them turning out to have personal or family connections?
A million to one, I�d guess. But that�s what happened to me a few days back. For a few minutes there, I thought it was some new kind of Internet scam.
The messages came at 2:27 and 3:27 p.m. June 14, the first from Peter Russell of Bexleyheath, Kent, England. Russell has spent much of his life researching the lives of soldiers from the British Isles who fought in America under legendary Gen. George Custer.
Wrote Russell: �Dear Mr. McKeen, I�m not entirely sure if my �story� falls within your remit, but if it doesn�t, perhaps you would be kind enough to pass it on. It concerns Timothy Donnelly, whose family lived in Spencer, Worcester County � even had a road named for them � who was killed with Custer at the Battle of the Little Big Horn, the 137th anniversary of which is on June 25. My biographical account solves the mystery of his place of birth in England and the year of his birth, both of which have been universally misrepresented until now.
�For this purpose, all the information one needs to know about Donnelly, who increased his age by three years on enlistment, can be found by following the link on my website, www.menwithcuster.co.uk � As you probably know already, Fort Abraham Lincoln, the 7th Cavalry�s HQ in 1876, was formerly named Fort McKeen, a tenuous link indeed but an interesting one for all that.�
Russell�s website invites readers from places such as Spencer to send along any information about Custer�s troops that they might have. As for Fort McKeen, who knew? Possibly my brother Bill, the family�s genealogist.
An hour later to the minute came this from Jonathan Eig, a bestselling author in New York whose biographies of Lou Gehrig, Jackie Robinson and Al Capone have been the talk of the writing trade for the last decade:
�Dear Mr. McKeen, I enjoyed your column on the tornado. You might be interested to know that it hit the same week as another historic event in Worcester. Katherine McCormick Dexter and Margaret Sanger visited Gregory Pincus at the Worcester Foundation of Experimental Biology on June 8, 1953, setting in motion the discovery of the birth control pill.
�I�m at work on a book on that subject. I�m trying to track down longtime Worcester and Shrewsbury residents who might have known the principal players. I�m especially interested in finding women who might have participated in some of the early experiments with progesterone. Dr. Henry Kirkendall was giving progesterone to some of his patients. So if any of his patients from 1953-55 are still around, I�d love to find them. I�ll be in Worcester July 1 to 3 and I�d be happy to arrange meetings with them in person.�
That held even more interest for me because I had attended a small liberal arts college with Dr. Pincus� son John in the late 1940s and interviewed Dr. M.C. Chang � with the elder Pincus a pioneer in the development of the pill � in the �50s.
Yes, it�s a small world all right, and with computer technology propelling us forward by leaps and bounds, it�s growing smaller almost by the minute.

Yep, That is what it looks like. In this typical type of Sylt classic conditions, you don't want to be offshore anchored in a boat. It is only a matter of time before you take a good one over the bow. When we ran races, they were only slalom in these conditions, start signaled from the beach or beach starts and preferably waveriding only so we did not have to launch any boats from shore! We lost one hard bottom inflatable (zodiac style boat) in the shore break on one of the years I ran the event. Guys stopped the boat instead of running it up the beach and got nailed by a set and flipped it!ronnie wrote:Hope this isn't the sea state typical of 30 knots.
This forecast shows Thursday and especially Saturday could be difficult - especially if they had problems today, which should have been much easier.
Shore break in Sylt can be very gnarly.

In this stepfirst , LSP would make "ping-pong" with drum & Bass and the rest of the riddim to the same track? I know he used to have two tape machines, so you can lay down in one of those. So you have the full riddim in one, maybe two (stereo) tracks. Later you continue overdubbing things, but i know that each step of overdubbing, you loose quality...
Sometimes I listen some 75-79 years song, wich the dub part is very different to the other, IMO thats means that you need to have "control" of diferent tracks to add FX there...

If you look at LSP's Black Ark console its perfectly configured for 4 track recording - over on the right hand side you will see there's 4 subgroups (each strip under each of the four VU meters), so you assign any one or combination of the input channels to one of the subgroups & then run the subgroup to one of the 4 tape inputs...
If you were recording tracks to voice later, one logical approach might be
bass/drums/perc - ch 1
keys/guitar - ch 2
horns / other stuff - ch 3
and leave ch 4 free for later vocals
But as mentioned, there's a lot of possibilities...

Boost your Brain (Why Should I Exercise?)
Studying at seminary can be tiring. Parsing biblical languages, exploring the meanings of a biblical passage and hours of reading systematic theology, can be tiring, even for the most energetic seminarian. The next time you're feeling uninspired, confused or just plain burned-out, don't bang your head against the wall. Instead, get moving. Even a short exercise break of 20 minutes may be enough to unlock your mental block.
We all know that exercise can put energize us, releasing endorphins and relieving depression (though not to the exclusion of counseling, if your depression is persistent and debilitating). The connection between cardiovascular activity and mood is more than a feeling, it's scientific fact. There is growing evidence that exercise makes you smarter, enhances your ability to solve problems, brainstorm ideas and think fast. Some neuroscientists have said that physical exercise has been shown to have an effect several times larger than computer-brain exercises.

Border Arrests Drop for 6th Year in a Row as Fewer Risk Trek to US
The lure of El Norte continues to diminish, evidently.
For the sixth consecutive year, arrests of immigrants along the U.S. border with Mexico are at the lowest level since the Nixon administration.
The development could change the debate on illegal immigration from securing the border to handling the people who are already here.
"Increasingly the problem is the 11 million people (in the country illegally), rather than the border itself," said Demetrios Papademetriou, president of the Migration Policy Institute, a non-partisan research organization.
In the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, Border Patrol arrested 327,577 people trying to cross the southern U.S. border. Meanwhile, Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials deported a record 396,906 people over the same period. That marks the first time in decades that formal removals from the U.S. outpaced arrests at the border.
The number of arrests of people trying to sneak across the border has been steadily declining since 2006, after an all-time high of more than 1.6 million apprehensions in 2000. During those 10 years, more immigrants have become settled residents of the U.S.
According to the Pew Hispanic Center, nearly two-thirds of the country's estimated 10.2 million adult undocumented immigrants have been living in the United States for at least 10 years. A decade ago, fewer than half had been in the U.S. that long.
"This is all part of a larger picture that we're not seeing very many new undocumented immigrants coming in, so the share of new undocumented immigrants is smaller," said Jeffrey Passel, senior demographer at the Pew Hispanic Center. "A lot of people are staying. They've put down roots. There clearly hasn't been a large scale departure of people who have been here a while."
But politicians are still fighting over who is best equipped to secure the border.
Attempts to pass immigration reform legislation have repeatedly failed, with Republicans saying they won't support any bill that provides a path to legalization for undocumented immigrants who are here and won't consider other reforms until the border is secure.
Some GOP presidential candidates, including former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, have signed a pledge to build a fence along the length of the southern border -- there is already more than 600 miles of towering steel fencing in place.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who does not support a border fence, has proposed adding to the 1,200 National Guard troops currently stationed along the border in a support role. Perry and Gingrich have both spoken of the need for "humanity" in dealing with undocumented immigrants who are already here, and were both criticized by conservative Republicans.
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has said the border is more secure than ever before "and it is clear from every measure we currently have that this approach is working."
But the weak U.S. economy and tough new immigration laws in states such as Alabama and Arizona likely play as much of a role in the drop in illegal crossings as increased security efforts, said Doris Meissner, former head of the Immigration and Naturalization Service and a senior fellow at the Migration Policy Institute.
"There is no single thing we can point to," Meissner said. "I think it's perfectly legitimate to say that border security is working. But it is not legitimate to say they are entirely responsible. Obviously it's a combination of the economy and enforcement."
It is likely that border security will remain a divisive political issue, particularly in the 2012 presidential election, Papademetriou and others said.
"During an election year where immigration threatens to become a key issue, I suspect that Republicans would want to argue strongly that the border is out of control," Papademetriou said.
Republican strategist Danny Diaz said the debate can't shift to the question of how to handle undocumented immigrants living in the U.S. until Republicans are convinced the border is secure.
"I'm sure there is some credit that's due to (enhanced security), but I don't think anyone would argue that the border is secure," Diaz said. "That's just not true. I believe if the economy was improved, those numbers would go up."
Simon Rosenberg, head of the liberal-leaning NDN advocacy group, said while the debate should shift away from the border it isn't likely to because Republican calls for securing the border have repeatedly been popular with party voters.
"They are still heavily invested in it because it worked for them," Rosenberg said. "The Republican argument at the border is more ideological than fact based."
And because it is unclear whether the lower rates of illegal immigration will continue, Democrats aren't likely to proclaim the border secure just yet, Papademetriou said.
"We still have not had a real test of how good our border controls are and the reason for that is that the U.S. economy has not really picked up to the point where people on the other side ... feel that there are great opportunities for work in the United States," Papademetriou said. "This next year will be a critical year."

Varli Food Festival Chef Profile: Hari Nayak
The Varli Food Festival is coming to New York City on April 7, 2011, and with it comes celebrity chefs, restaurants of note and some of the best Indian cuisine you will ever eat. In anticipation of this groundbreaking Indian culinary event—the first of its kind in the U.S.—I had a tête-è-tête with Chef Hari Nayak, one of the participants at the Varli Food Festival.
While I did not have the pleasure of an in-person meeting, the warm, welcoming and cordial vibe that emanated from Chef Nayak was undeniable. He is enigmatic. He is comforting. He is also a chef with a unique and distinctive style of cooking.
A former pastry chef, Chef Nayak went to culinary school in the U.S. to nurture his professional cooking skills. Prior to preparing Indian food, he cooked French and European food, and everything else but Indian food. When he began cooking Indian food, he adopted a more unique style of cooking.
When asked what attracted him to the Varli Food Festival, his response conveyed a strong sense of loyalty to his Indian culture. "The Varli Food Festival is the first of its kind in the U.S. for Indian chefs and Indian food, and one of my main things is to promote Indian food, Indian culture and cuisine. It's a great opportunity to showcase that and to be around other chefs under one roof at the same time."
Chef Nayak is on a mission to educate and promote Indian cuisine. Because of this, he would be thrilled to see people of different ethnic backgrounds in attendance at the Festival.
"Being American Indian myself, I've been here for more than fifteen years. I was born in India. I don't really need to teach or promote Indian food among Indians. It's always exciting to see other cultures take an interest. That's what I'm excited about."
His expectations are not lofty or unattainable. The Varli Food Festival is on the cusp of opening doors in the U.S. for mainstream Americans to walk through and learn more about the vast world of Indian cuisine. It's so much more than just curry.
So what does Chef Nayak expect to gain from his experience at the Festival? He has an interest in meeting people who are excited and want to know more about the food. "I want to talk to them, interact and know what they like and what they want to see."
These are the words of someone who cares about the message that he is striving to convey, that message being one of cultural and culinary pride, awareness and dispelling the myth that Indian food is only about creamy curries.
"It's so much more than that," he says of the curry falsehood, "and if I can do that, promote Indian food, that is something that I would like to see done. There's so much to work with in Indian cuisine. There is a common misconception among some that all Indian food is creamy or rich but that's because that's what people are used to seeing in restaurants. "
This brings home the message that Americans are not as savvy in Indian cuisine as we may like to think. How wonderful it would be to see Indian food stay true to its indigenous roots and remain a part of the culture and to have that translate into the food as opposed to dumbing down the fare or giving it the "Americanized" treatment. Surely our palates can handle all of the wonderfully exciting flavors outside of curry.
Indian food is universally appealing because of the phenomenal blend of spices. "There are spices and flavors that no other cuisine in the world uses, nor do they use the number of spices that we do. The different spices that come together in a dish—the freshness and the way they are blended—are what make it so flavorful. People just love it."
One thing you can count on at the Festival is Chef Nayak's unique style of cooking. "What I'm bringing is the style of cooking that reflects what I believe in. What I've been doing so far is trying to create traditional Indian cooking and trying to make it more accessible to the mainstream market."
Of course, cooking is where each chef flourishes and it is what they love, as well as having an appreciation of the food. Festival goers can expect to see a range of cooking styles and flavors as each chef will be bringing something different to the table. "Everybody is doing the same thing but everybody has their own little unique way of doing it."
Chef Nayak will be participating in a signing of his book, Modern Indian Cooking, and, if time permits, possibly a cooking demonstration. He will also have his new book (which is not yet available), My Indian Kitchen, on display and available for pre-ordering.
Just as he is eager about the prospect of promoting Indian cuisine, Chef Nayak is also looking forward to what he thinks will be a highlight of the Festival: the other chefs. "It's great to have these numerous participating restaurants and the chefs bringing in wonderful food. Just the experience of having all of these restaurants around the region showcasing their best is something that I'm looking forward to."
His excitement is contagious. While Indian food is one of my favorite cuisines, I openly embrace the opportunity to become educated on the special nuances that make it what it is today. My plan is to eat my way across the Festival and come away with a new awareness and a better understanding of Indian cuisine. Not only do I look forward to being educated on it, but I can't wait to taste that education.
The Varli Food Festival is coming to NYC's Altman Building on April 7, 2011 from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. For tickets and more information visit www.varlifoodfestival.com.

Browns beat Ravens 24-18, end losing streak
CLEVELAND (AP) — The Browns punched the AFC North's biggest bully in the mouth.
Article continues below ...
The defending Super Bowl champion Ravens are wobbling.
Jason Campbell threw three touchdown passes — two to Davone Bess — and the Browns ended an 11-game losing streak against Baltimore, beating the Ravens 24-18 on Sunday.
Campbell's 3-yard pass to Bess on fourth down with three minutes left helped the Browns (4-5) seal their first win over Baltimore since 2007. A week ago, Bess dropped a pass in a similar situation in the closing minutes of a loss at Kansas City.
The Ravens (3-5) lost their third straight and didn't win in the week following a bye for the first time in six tries under coach John Harbaugh.
Baltimore's Joe Flacco had a pair of TD passes to rookie Marlon Brown, but the Super Bowl MVP couldn't rally the Ravens, who made too many mistakes and are in danger of missing the playoffs.
Making his second straight start after Brandon Weeden was benched, Campbell completed 23 of 35 passes for 262 yards. The nine-year veteran was at his best in the closing minutes, when the Browns ran 6:30 off the clock to finish off the Ravens, who have lost four of five.
Campbell, who briefly left the game in the first half with a rib injury, evaded pressure before making his big completion to Bess and later alertly flipped the ball to running back Chris Ogbonnaya to set up Billy Cundiff's 22-yard field goal with 14 seconds left to put the Browns ahead by six.
The Ravens had one last chance, but running back Ray Rice was tackled near midfield as the Browns beat Baltimore for the first time since Flacco and Harbaugh arrived.
Browns wide receiver Greg Little had seven catches for 122 yards.
Flacco finished 24 of 41 for 250 yards, but Baltimore's offense sputtered most of the game against Cleveland's vastly improved defense.
Down 21-10 and running out of time, Flacco connected with Brown for a 7-yard TD with 12:09 left and then hit him again for the 2-point conversion to cut Cleveland's lead to three. Tandon Doss, who earlier fumbled away a punt, set up the score with a 36-yard return that sparked the Ravens.
But it was the Browns who made the big plays in the closing minutes, none more important than Bess' grab as coach Rob Chudzinski went for it on fourth down with 3:12 left.
The Browns capitalized on a muffed punt by Doss to open a 21-10 lead in the third as Campbell threw a 4-yard TD pass to Gary Barnidge with 5:11 left. Baltimore's defense, missing Ray Lewis and Ed Reed, was uncharacteristically confused during the sequence as the Ravens were penalized for having 12 men on the field and Barnidge was able to slip away from the line uncovered.
After looking dysfunctional for most of the first half, the Ravens came alive in the final minute and pulled to 14-10 on Flacco's 19-yard TD pass to Brown, an undrafted free agent, with nine seconds left.
Campbell's second TD pass to Bess gave the Browns a 14-3 lead in the second quarter.
On 3rd-and-3 from the 20, Campbell a hit a wide-open Bess over the middle and the wide receiver did the rest, faking out cornerback Lardarius Webb at the 10 before sprinting into the end zone and then celebrating by slapping hands with Browns fans reaching over the railing.
A week ago, Bess had a hard time finding any friends in Cleveland.
His critical fumble on a punt return and a dropped pass in the final minutes denied the Browns any chance of rallying to upset the unbeaten Chiefs. Bess, who entered the game tied for the league lead in drops, didn't make any excuses for the miserable performance and vowed to atone for his mistakes.
In the first quarter, Bess caught a 1-yard TD pass from Campbell, fighting off two defenders to haul in the throw at the goal line after Chudzinski rolled the dice and went for it on 4th-and-goal.
The Ravens trimmed Cleveland's lead to 7-3 on Justin Tucker's 51-yard field goal.

Off and on for about five seasons in the Colorado organization, Bruins defenseman Johnny Boychuk was teammates with forward Cody McCormick. Yesterday, Buffalo called up McCormick, who totaled 168 penalty minutes with Portland (AHL) this season, to beef up its lineup for tonight's Game 4 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinal series with the Bruins.
"He's a strong tough kid and he works really hard," said Boychuk.
"You'd expect to have someone like that in the lineup because he's a good player," Boychuk continued when asked if the Sabres' addition of McCormick is a message. "He works really hard and if he has a chance to finish his checks, he will. He's not afraid to mix it up too."
He showed his willingness to mix it up earlier this season in the AHL, when he jumped off the bench and tangled with then-Providence forward, and current Bruins healthy scratch, Brad Marchand. Here's the video:
McCormick will replace Matt Ellis in the Sabres lineup. Ellis, who was rocked by Boychuk's open-ice hit in Game 3, skated this morning and said he felt fine. The talk of Boychuk's hit that raised the roof off the Garden just won't go away two days later. Boychuk was relieved that Ellis agreed with everyone's assessment that the hit was clean.
"That's the last thing I want to do is get my elbow up in his face because he's a good player, I played against him in junior. He just tries to work hard and it just so happened that I caught him with his head down," Boychuk said. "I just didn't want to have it be a headshot or anything cheap like that, you know."
Here's another look at the Boychuk hit to get you pumped for tonight's Game 4:

Massachusetts Life Sciences Center and MassMEDIC Launch Medical Technology Mentoring and Employment Program for Local Veterans
Boston, MAThe Massachusetts Life Sciences Center (MLSC) and the Massachusetts Medical Device Industry Council (MassMEDIC) launched the Massachusetts Medical Technology Veterans Program (MassMVP) today with a one-day, intensive training "boot camp" for veterans at UMass Boston. Thirty-two veterans were introduced to their industry mentors, who will help prepare participating veterans to enter the medical technology workforce. Lieutenant Governor Timothy P. Murray and Senate Chair of the Joint Committee on Veterans and Federal Affairs Michael Rush were among the speakers at today's event.
This mentoring program is a state-level initiative based on a national model created by AdvaMed, the Advanced Medical Technology Association. MassMVP was sponsored in part by Covidien and organized with the help of Secretary of Veterans' Services Coleman Nee and the Department of Veterans' Services, the Department of Labor and Workforce Development, One-Stop Career Centers across the Commonwealth, and the Metro South/West Employment and Training Administration. Local representatives from the following companies contributed their time and expertise as mentors: AbioMed, AgileSEARCH, Boston MedTech Advisors, Boston Scientific, City on a Hill, Codman Neuro, Corindus Vascular Robotics, Covidien, DePuy-Snythes, FloDesign Sonics, Haemonetics, Johnson & Johnson, Medtronic and the Cardiac and Vascular Group, NinePoint Medical, Optimum Technologies, Organogenesis, Philips, Polestar Products, Strohl Medical, Thermedical and Tomophase Corporation.
"Governor Patrick and I applaud the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center for its leadership in working with our returning veterans to support opportunities for reentry into the workforce," said Lieutenant Governor Timothy Murray, chair of the Governor's Advisory Council on Veterans' Services. "We are proud of the hard work and sacrifice of our brave servicemen and women, and we want to ensure a successful transition back home. Our returning veterans are well-trained with valuable skills that can be strengthened by MassMVP, and that are beneficial within our world-renowned medical technology industry."
"An important goal of the MLSC is to promote access for residents of the Commonwealth to the jobs in our life sciences sectors, including medtech," said Susan Windham-Bannister, President & CEO of the MLSC. "As we make investments in the industry's growth, medtech companies need the types of skills, dedication and talent that our returning heroes bring to the workforce as they re-enter civilian life. Today's event was a great beginning, and we look forward to continuing our work on this important initiative."
"The medical device sector in our state contributes significant job growth for our economy, and it is important that we help our veterans to connect with these job opportunities as much as possible," said Tom Sommer, President of MassMEDIC.
"This is a tremendous opportunity for our veterans to gain the knowledge necessary to fill these well-paying, highly-skilled jobs," said Senate President Therese Murray. "These types of public-private partnerships provide both a great service to our veterans and a well-trained workforce that can fill these available positions in our growing economic sectors. I commend the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center and all of the participants in this effort for giving our veterans the tools to succeed in this new economy."
"MassMVP benefits returning heroes and helps our company find exceptional talent to bring into the organization," said Mike Dunford, Senior Vice President, Human Resources, Covidien. "A strong work ethic and adaptability are just two of the character traits that make military veterans a good fit for careersin the medical technology industry. We want veterans in this industry as much as they want opportunity."
Today's "boot camp" began with opening remarks from Dr. Windham-Bannister, Sommer and Mike
Minogue, President & CEO of Abiomed. In the morning, industry leaders presented the benefits of careers in medtech, along with a briefing on the skills required to succeed in the industry. Following the review, a panel of speakers representing the MLSC and medtech industry partners discussed the cooperative benefits that result from pairing veterans with positions in the medtech industry. The veterans also gleaned helpful hints from industry hiring managers, including tips on resume writing, applying and mock interviewing.
"The national program was launched in Massachusetts and we are thrilled that with its success, we are able to return here for the first state-based program. Since October, we have grown from 50 veterans and mentors to now being able to help close to 150," said AdvaMed President and CEO Stephen J. Ubl. "A second national boot camp will be held in conjunction with our industry conference AdvaMed 2013, but until then, the state-based model allows us to work closer with our companies and reach even more veterans throughout the year."
The MLSC partnered with AdvaMed and the International Center for Professional Development (ICPD) to launch MassMVP. The program was free to veterans residing in Massachusetts and open to mentors working at a Massachusetts medtech company. Participating veterans will be able to stay in contact with their peers and mentors through www.MedicalTechnologyVeterans.org, the MVP's online social media tool and mentoring portal.

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL � With compelling stories unfolding against a stunning backdrop, Rio de Janeiro sets the perfect scene for many documentary filmmakers from around the world. Yet bringing a film to fruition here isn�t easy, and filmmakers must patiently � and sometimes dangerously � integrate themselves into the culture before cracking the window into the world of their subjects.
Movie poster for "Dancing with the Devil," a documentary focusing on the drug wars in the favela Cor�ia.
Only through a steadfast commitment to the story are some foreign filmmakers able to showcase perspectives that would otherwise be unseen by the masses, and amplify the voices of those who live them everyday.
One such film is the 2009 documentary �Dancing with the Devil,� which focuses on the drug wars unfolding in the Rio de Janeiro favela Cor�ia, as seen through the eyes of law enforcers, a pastor and the drug lords themselves.
For co-producer Tom Philips, the film was made possible through his relationship with Pastor Dione dos Santos, who worked closely with the favela�s drug traffickers.
Even with one contact directly intertwined in the story, earning enough trust to film in these environments and interview the subjects came at a slow pass. �It took us several years to gain the trust of our characters and to convince them to open their lives to our cameras,� Philips said.
Patricia Maresch of the Netherlands, who directed and produced �Cruzeiro,� a 2008 documentary about growing up in a favela agrees: �It�s not always easy to work here as a filmmaker � You can�t just fly in, film for two months, [and] then go back home.�
Maresch had to patiently win the faith of those involved in the film � not only from the main subjects, but from others in the community who saw the outsider with a camera. �People are afraid to be on camera,� she said, noting that many Brazilians are leery of how filmmakers will portray them. �They think �you�ll just show what bad people we are.��

Even once the hard-won trust and access are granted, the filmmakers have plenty of obstacles to overcome to complete the documentary, sometimes including Rio�s notorious violence.
Maresch often had her filming put on hold during violent eruptions in the area. �There were weeks when we couldn�t do anything because of the shooting,� she said, noting that it was too dangerous for the film�s subjects to go outside.
Philips and the �Dancing with the Devil� team found themselves thrust into violent situations, too. With cameras rolling, they endured a bloody shootout between the drug squads and drug lords that left others around them dead.
Yet through the hardships of creating real-life films in Rio de Janeiro, the finished work often offers more than simply entertainment. Manydocumentaries can bring about social awareness and change.
�If a solution is to be found, these stories need to be told, even if that makes some people uncomfortable,� Philips said.
Filmmakers, like Marsech, are proud to share the lives of people who might not otherwise be noticed among the larger social issues. �We really tried to show what it was like (growing up in a favela),� she said. �It was their story to tell. I just helped them tell it.�
�Cruzeiro� can be purchased at Amazon.com. For more information about �Dancing with the Devil,� visit http://dancingwiththedevilthemovie.com.

Be on the ball. Secure your seats for this weekend's clash while you still can at ticketmaster.ca/whitecapsfc.
Kickoff on Saturday is at 4 p.m. PT and is live on City TV and Bell mobile devices. The match will be replayed on Sportsnet Pacific at 8 p.m. PT. 'Caps fans can also listen to Saturday afternoon's match live on TEAM 1410 radio and teamradio.ca, starting with the pre-game show at 2 p.m. PT. TEAM 1410 will wrap-up with a two-hour post-game show, which will begin following the match.
The 'Caps are coming off of a 0-0 draw against Montreal Impact this past Wednesday, May 15 at Stade Saputo in the first leg of the 2013 Amway Canadian Championship final. Despite several chances for both sides, the 'Caps walked away unscathed heading into the decisive second leg at BC Place on May 29, where they will look to lift the Voyageurs Cup on home turf.
Last MLS match: Whitecaps FC 3-1 LA Galaxy
In their previous MLS match last Saturday, May 11, the Blue and White defeated LA Galaxy 3-1 for their first ever league win against the two-time defending MLS Cup champions. Canadian international Russell Teibert scored his first two professional goals against the California side while striker Darren Mattocks rounded out the scoring in front of a sell-out crowd of 21,000 energetic fans at BC Place.
The 'Caps will be looking to get another monkey off their back on Saturday, as they have yet to defeat Portland Timbers in MLS action. In fact, the Timbers have won each of the first two meetings between the clubs at BC Place.
In terms of injuries, Martin Rennie's side will be without midfielder Daigo Kobayashi (left ankle sprain) and Kenny Miller (hamstring). The home also continue to be without captain Jay DeMerit (ruptured Achilles tendon) and winger Omar Salgado (foot surgery) indefinitely. Centre back Johnny Léveron is suspended for the match following review of a tackle vs. LA Galaxy last weekend. To compensate for the absences, the 'Caps have recalled centre back Carlyle Mitchell, who has been on loan to NASL club FC Edmonton since March.
Last match: Portland Timber 3-0 Chivas USA
The Timbers enter Saturday's match coming off of a 3-0 win over Chivas USA. Goals for Portland came from defender Rodney Wallace, and midfielders Diego Valeri and Will Johnson.
Head coach Caleb Porter's has his side second in the Western Conference and unbeaten in nine matches dating back to a 2-0 defeat to Montreal Impact on March 9 at JELD-WEN Field.
Leading the charge has been the impressive midfield group of Valeri, Will Johnson, Darlington Nagbe, and Diego Chara. Benefitting from the Timbers attacking play has been striker Ryan Johnson, who has four goals this season, as well as the aforementioned midfielders, who have a combined 10 goals.
The Timbers continue to be without centre backs David Horst (R tibia plateau surgery) and Mikael Silvestre (L ruptured ACL), midfielder Brent Richards (L ACL surgery) and striker Bright Dike (L ACL surgery) – all out indefinitely.
This weekend's tilt will be the sixth meeting between Whitecaps FC and Portland Timbers in MLS regular season action. In their first two seasons in MLS, the 'Caps have yet to defeat Portland and have a record of 0W-4L-1D against the Rose City side.
2012: Whitecaps FC 0-1 Portland Timbers
Saturday's match marks the 74th all-time for the 'Caps against Portland. Vancouver hold an all-time record of 33W-28L-12D versus Portland, with the Blue and White registering an all-time home record of 23W-9L-3D.
In terms of player connections, Portland are now the home of midfielder Michael Nanchoff, who began his MLS career with Vancouver in 2011 and 2012. Nanchoff was also a teammate of Darren Mattocks at the University of Akron, where both were coached by Timbers head coach Caleb Porter. In 2008, Whitecaps FC goalkeeper Brad Knighton spent time on loan with the then United Soccer Leagues First Divison (USL-1) side Portland Timbers when he was a member of New England Revolution. Lastly, 'Caps defender Greg Klazura played with Timbers injured striker Bright Dike at the University of Notre Dame.
For the 'Caps, this match has special significance as it marks the first match of their quest for the Cascadia Cup, an annual tournament that was conceived by the supporters groups of the three Pacific Northwest clubs: Vancouver Whitecaps FC, Seattle Sounders FC, and Portland Timbers back when the clubs played in USL-1.
Cascadia Rivalry: Whitecaps FC vs. Portland Timbers
The Cascadia Cup is awarded to the team that has the best head-to-head record in MLS regular season matches against their Pacific Northwest rivals. The 'Caps have won the trophy a total of three times (2004, 2005, 2008), as have Seattle (2006, 2007, 2011) and Portland (2009, 2010, 2011). It should be noted that Portland's titles in 2009 and 2010 were while the Cascadia Cup was only contested between the Timbers and 'Caps.
Following Saturday's Cascadia Cup match, the 'Caps have a bye week from MLS play as they prepare for the second leg of the ACC final on Wednesday, May 29 at BC Place.

It's a weird document. It goes to great, very great lengths to emphasise the success of the private sector in building and maintaining the backbone of the internet, whether we're talking early days or right now. Basically every management aspect of the internet (including here in Europe) is handled by private companies, relatively to completely free from government meddling.
The document dedicates an entire section to the success of ICANN, and only points to the lack of international oversight as a flaw. What this basically means is that the EU admits that the current setup works just fine - even without its input. If it's all been such a success, why change it?
The biggest reason the EC brings forward is local accountability. The internet has become such a vital piece of everyday life that if something were to go wrong, like interruptions in service or other forms of breakage, citizens will hold their local governments accountable - they won't have the technical knowledge to place the blame where it could (possibly, of course) belong: ICANN. ICANN's influence stretches far beyond the United States border, and if something goes wrong, the EU and its member states have no way to respond.
There are two sides to this issue: a practical one, and a philosophical one. Practically, there is absolutely no reason whatsoever to change all that much about how the internet is governed. ICANN and the US government have ensured that the internet has a free flow of information - no matter how objectionable (but still legal) some content may be. This is intrinsically a good thing, as that's what the internet is all about.
The philosophical side of the coin is that it is an absurd idea that the US government - a government most of the world did not elect - has such a possible influence over the workings of the internet, while the rest of the world sits by the sidelines without any form of influence.
When it comes to government influence, I believe in a case-by-case approach. Stating that government control is always bad is just as short-sighted as stating that the government should control everything. The ideal solution is somewhere in the middle, where individual aspects of society are evaluated to see if they might benefit from some governmental handywork.
Drawing this closer to the internet, I see no reason to extend the influence of any government over the internet. It works fine the way it is, and the US government and ICANN have done an outstanding job. As much as I personally dislike the US governmental system, there is no denying that the internet is a success story.
On top of that, if there is one institution I really don't want even an inch closer to influencing the internet, it's the EU. I don't trust the EU one bit when it comes to this matter, as they have shown an almost uncanny ability to regulate even the tiniest of details of every day life.

I have made two of these (both gifts, want one for myself!). The only problem is acquiring the correct yarn. If you order the jewel tone yarn in the larger size skein, the colors are muddy. I found that you need to order the smaller size to get the correct color. Lion Yarn had no answer as to why the size of the skein made a difference in color but did agree that I was right. Take your time with this pattern and you will be pleased. I won first prize at the Duval County fair a few years ago with this afghan.
November 15, 2016
I have just finished this pattern and absolutely love it! I posted pictures of my finished Afghan on several Crochet Facebook sites and I am just overwhelmed at the amount of comments and likes I have received, well over 20,000! Do not let this pattern scare you into thinking you cannot do it. It is a perfectly written pattern and not nearly as hard as it appears to be, although it is not something you are going to finish in a couple of weeks, the time you put into it will be rewarding.

I don't like the filling of the valleys, there are holes and it's very uneven, and I am a neat crocheter. Do other people have the same problem?
July 13, 2015
I love the pattern! At the moment I am in the middle of the second section but I find it very difficult to work only with written instructions. Do you have a chart available? I find them a lot easier to follow.
Annie's Customer ServiceUlrike - We're sorry, but a chart is not available for this pattern. We are happy to help you with any questions about the pattern so please contact us at email@example.com if you need help.

Monday, 10 June 2013 11:00 AM
ISLAMABAD — Pakistan's president, in what will likely be his last major speech to parliament, urged the new government on Monday to keep up the fight against militancy, one of the many problems facing the country.
Asif Ali Zardari spoke hours after militants dressed as policemen and armed with assault rifles and rockets attacked trucks in Pakistan carrying supplies to U.S.-led NATO troops in neighboring Afghanistan, killing four people.
The attack and the speech both drew attention to the continuing threat militants pose to the stability of Pakistan.
The May 11 elections marked the first time in Pakistan's 65-year history that a civilian government completed its full term and handed over power in democratic elections. Previous governments have been toppled by military coups or sacked by presidents allied with the army.
Zardari's Pakistan People's Party was badly beaten in the elections. The victorious Pakistan Muslim League-N party of new Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif campaigned primarily on fixing the country's economy, while pushing for peace talks with the Pakistani Taliban and other militant groups.
In a wide-ranging speech, Zardari, now a largely powerless figure who has already said he won't run again for the ceremonial presidency, bid Sharif's crew well on the economic front, but also urged them to clamp down on extremists who have killed thousands in Pakistan in the last decade.
"Militancy, extremism and terrorism pose the greatest threat to our national security," Zardari said. As he has done many times, he carried to the podium with him a picture of his late wife Benazir Bhutto, the former Pakistani prime minister who was killed in a gun-and-suicide bomb attack in late 2007.
"The nation is united against militants," the president said. "We need strong leadership to overcome the threat. We are ready to make peace with those willing to give up violence, but should be ready to use force against those who challenge the writ of the state."
In Monday's attack, the militants emerged from the mountains and fired rockets at the NATO trucks, burning two vehicles, local official Iqbal Khan said. The militants wore local police uniforms, and the four dead included truck drivers and their assistants, he said.
The attack took place in the Jamrud area of the Khyber tribal region, along the main route into Afghanistan for the supply trucks. Government official Jehangir Azam told DunyaNews TV that around 15 heavily armed militants were involved.
"It was a very organized attack," he said, adding that the trucks carried a NATO jeep, an ambulance and other materials. U.S.-led coalition forces say such hired trucks transport only non-lethal supplies overland through Pakistan.
The route through Khyber is one of two main entry points into Afghanistan used by the Western forces. Militant attacks on the road have frustrated NATO, and Pakistan has at times closed the route to vent its anger over NATO actions, including airstrikes that killed Pakistani soldiers.
As a result, the U.S. has increased its use of more costly routes through Central Asia to get supplies into Afghanistan.
Relations with the U.S. figured in Zardari's speech Monday. He condemned U.S. drone strikes in Pakistan's tribal regions, saying Pakistan could not allow violations of its sovereignty, a stance shared by Sharif.
Zardari's speech was punctuated by applause, including some from Sharif.
Zardari urged Sharif and his team to safeguard democracy in this nation of 180 million, where the army still retains vast power. He declared that "the subversion, abrogation and the suspension of the constitution is an act of high treason."
That appeared aimed at Pervez Musharraf, the one-time army chief who ousted an earlier Sharif government in a military coup in 1999. Both Sharif and Zardari despise him.
Musharraf is currently under house arrest in Pakistan as authorities try to determine his fate, and it's not yet clear if Sharif's government will push for treason charges against the retired general, who led Pakistan for roughly nine years.
Zardari further urged the new government to pay special attention to the poor and to the rights of women and minorities.
He also called on it to stop the misuse of Pakistan's anti-blasphemy laws. The laws call for death for those convicted of blasphemy, but have often been used to persecute religious minorities in this Muslim-majority country as well as to settle personal scores.
"We need to further strengthen interfaith harmony," Zardari said.
Past government figures who have called for reforming the laws to prevent their abuse have been accused of blasphemy themselves and in two prominent cases have been assassinated.
