Announcement Type: Competitive Grant-Initial.
Funding Opportunity Number: HHS-2004-ACF-ACYF-CB-0017. Start Printed Page 26114
CFDA Number: 93.551.
Due Date for Applications: July 12, 2004.
I. Funding Opportunity Description
The purpose of this funding opportunity is to provide counseling and other support services to family caregivers for drug-exposed, HIV-exposed, HIV-positive or HIV/AIDS affected children. The funds will be used to establish or enhance a system of support services that should include, but are not limited to, social services, counseling, legal and financial services, and assistance with custodial issues.
Projects supported under this funding opportunity are expected to serve as models for service provision to children and adolescents affected by HIV/AIDS. A model project funded under this initiative must:
(a) Develop and implement an evidence-based project with specific components or strategies that are based on theory, research, or evaluation data; or, replicate or test the transferability of successfully evaluated program models;
(b) Determine the effectiveness of the model and its components or strategies; and
(c) Produce materials that will enable others to replicate the model.
Applicants should have an understanding of family caregiver support and service needs and a history of involvement with grandparent groups or other family member caregiver groups that specifically address the needs of drug-exposed and/or HIV-positive children in their applications. Applicants should coordinate and collaborate, as appropriate, with other related programs, such as SAMSHA and Ryan White CARE Act.
Background Information
The purposes of Public Law 100-505, the Abandoned Infants Act of 1988 as amended, are to establish a program of local support services projects designed to prevent the abandonment in hospitals of infants and young children, particularly those who have been perinatally exposed to a dangerous drug and those with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or who have been perinatally exposed to the virus; to identify and address the needs of those infants and children who are, or might be, abandoned; to develop a program of comprehensive support services for these infants and young children and their natural families (see Definitions) that include, but are not limited to, foster family care services, case management services, family support services, parenting skills, in-home support services, counseling services and group residential home services; and to recruit and train health and social services personnel, foster care families, and residential care providers to meet the needs of abandoned children and infants and children who are at risk of abandonment. The legislation also allows for the provision of a technical assistance training program to support the planning, development and operation of the service demonstration projects. The reauthorized legislation allows the Secretary to give priority to applicants located in States that have developed and implemented procedures for expedited termination of parental rights and placement for adoption of infants determined to be abandoned under State law.
As an increasing number of HIV-positive and/or substance abusing parents become unable to provide adequate care for their infants and young children, family members, frequently grandparents, assume the responsibility as the primary caretaker for the children. Social service agencies report that an increasing number of families include a grandparent raising a grandchild, a circumstance that is due primarily to parental drug addiction.
Abandoned and Abandonment—The terms "abandoned" and "abandonment", used with respect to infants and young children, mean that the infants and young children are medically cleared for discharge from acute-care hospital settings, but remain hospitalized because of a lack of appropriate out-of-hospital placement alternatives.
Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome—The term "acquired immune deficiency syndrome" includes infection with the etiologic agent for such syndrome, any condition indicating that an individual is infected with such etiologic agent, and any condition arising from such etiologic agent.
Dangerous Drug—The term "dangerous drug" means a controlled substance, as defined in section 102 of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 802).
Natural Family—The term "natural family" shall be broadly interpreted to include natural parents, grandparents, family members, guardians, children residing in the household, and individuals residing in the household on a continuing basis who are in a care-giving situation, with respect to infants and young children covered under this Act.
II. Award Information

III. Eligibility Information
1. Eligible Applicants
State governments
County governments
City or township governments
State controlled institutions of higher education
Native American tribal governments (Federally recognized)
Native American tribal organizations (other than Federally recognized tribal governments)
Non-profits having a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education
Non-profits that do not have 501 (c) (3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education
Private institutions of higher education
Additional Information on Eligibility
Non-profit organizations, including community and faith-based organizations are eligible to apply. Non-profit applicants must demonstrate proof of their status and this proof must be included in their applications. Proof of non-profit status is any one of the following:
(a) A reference to the applicant organization's listing in the Internal Revenue Service's (IRS) most recent list Start Printed Page 26115of tax-exempt organizations described in the IRS code.
(b) A copy of a currently valid IRS tax exemption certificate.
(c) A statement from a State taxing body, State Attorney General, or other appropriate State official certifying that the applicant organization has a non-profit status and that none of the net earnings accrue to any private shareholders or individuals.
(d) A certified copy of the organization's certificate of incorporation or similar document that clearly establishes non-profit status.
(e) Any of the items in the subparagraphs immediately above for a State or national parent organization and a statement signed by the parent organization that the applicant organization is a local non-profit affiliate.
Applications that exceed the $100,000 ceiling will be considered non-responsive and will not be eligible for funding under this announcement.
2. Cost Sharing or Matching
The grantee must provide at least 10 per cent of the total approved cost of the project. The total approved cost is the sum of the Federal share and the non-Federal share. Therefore, a project requesting $100,000 per budget period must include a match of at least $11,111 per budget period. Applicants should provide a letter of commitment verifying the actual amount of the non-Federal share of project costs.
The following example shows how to calculate the required 10% match amount for a $100,000 grant:
$100,000 (Federal share) divided by .90 (100%-10%) equals $111,111 (total project cost including match) minus $100,000 (federal share) equals $11,111 (required 10% match)
The non-federal share may be cash or in-kind contributions, although applicants are encouraged to meet their match requirements through cash contributions. If approved for funding, grantees will be held accountable for the commitment of non-Federal resources and failure to provide the required amount will result in a disallowance of unmatched Federal funds.

To be considered for funding, each applicant must submit one signed original and two additional copies of the application, including all forms and attachments, to the Application Receipt Point specified in the section titled Deadline at the beginning of the announcement. The original copy of the application must have original signatures, signed in black ink.
The application must be typed, double spaced, printed on only one side, with at least 1/2 inch margins on each side and 1 inch at the top and bottom, using standard 12 Point fonts (such as Times Roman or Courier). Pages must be numbered.
Pages over the page limit stated within this funding opportunity announcement will be removed from the application and will not be reviewed. All copies of an application must be submitted in a single package, and a separate package must be submitted for each funding opportunity. The package must be clearly labeled for the specific funding opportunity it is addressing.
Because each application will be duplicated, do not use or include separate covers, binders, clips, tabs, plastic inserts, maps, brochures, or any other items that cannot be processed easily on a photocopy machine with an automatic feed. Do not bind, clip, staple, or fasten in any way separate subsections of the application, including supporting documentation. Applicants are advised that the copies of the application submitted, not the original, will be reproduced by the Federal government for review. Each Start Printed Page 26117copy must be stapled securely in the upper left corner.
Tips for Preparing a Competitive Application: It is essential that applicants read the entire announcement package carefully before preparing an application and include all of the required application forms and attachments. The application must reflect a thorough understanding of the purpose and objectives of the Children's Bureau priority-area initiatives. Reviewers expect applicants to understand the goals of the legislation and the Children's Bureau's interest in each topic. A "responsive application" is one that addresses all of the evaluation criteria in ways that demonstrate this understanding. Applications that are considered to be "unresponsive" generally receive very low scores and are rarely funded.
The Children's Bureau's web site (http://www.acf.dhhs.gov/programs/cb) provides a wide range of information and links to other relevant web sites. Before you begin preparing an application, we suggest that you learn more about the mission and programs of the Children's Bureau by exploring the website.
Organizing Your Application: The specific evaluation criteria in Section V of this funding announcement will be used to review and evaluate each application. The applicant should address each of these specific evaluation criteria in the project description. It is strongly recommended that applicants organize their proposals in the same sequence and using the same headings as these criteria, so that reviewers can readily find information that directly addresses each of the specific review criteria.
Project Evaluation Plan: Project evaluations are very important. If you do not have the in-house capacity to conduct an objective, comprehensive evaluation of the project, then the Children's Bureau advises that you propose contracting with a third-party evaluator specializing in social science or evaluation, or a university or college, to conduct the evaluation. A skilled evaluator can assist you in designing a data collection strategy that is appropriate for the evaluation of your proposed project. Additional assistance may be found in a document titled "Program Manager's Guide to Evaluation." A copy of this document can be accessed at http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/core/pubs_reports/prog_mgr.html or ordered by contacting the National Clearinghouse on Child Abuse and Neglect Information, 330 C Street, SW., Washington, DC 20447; phone (800) 394-3366; fax (703) 385-3206; e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
Logic Model: A logic model is a tool that presents the conceptual framework for a proposed project and explains the linkages among program elements. While there are many versions of the logic model, they generally summarize the logical connections among the needs that are the focus of the project, project goals and objectives, the target population, project inputs (resources), the proposed activities/processes/outputs directed toward the target population, the expected short- and long-term outcomes the initiative is designed to achieve, and the evaluation plan for measuring the extent to which proposed processes and outcomes actually occur. Information on the development of logic models is available on the Internet at http://www.uwex.edu/ces/pdande/ or http://www.extension.iastate.edu/cyfar/capbuilding/outcome/outcome_logicmdir.html.
Use of Human Subjects: If your evaluation plan includes gathering data from or about clients, there are specific procedures that must be followed in order to protect their privacy and ensure the confidentiality of the information about them. Applicants planning to gather such data are asked to describe their plans regarding an Institutional Review Board (IRB) review. For more information about use of human subjects and IRB's you can visit these web sites: http://ohrp.osophs.dhhs.gov/irb/irb_chapter2.htm#d2 and http://ohrp.osophs.dhhs.gov/humansubjects/guidance/ictips.htm.

4. Intergovernmental Review
State Single Point of Contact (SPOC)
This program is covered under Executive Order (E.O.) 12372, "Intergovernmental Review of Federal Programs", and 45 CFR Part 100, "Intergovernmental Review of Department of Health and Human Services Programs and Activities." Under the Order, States may design their own processes for reviewing and commenting on proposed Federal assistance under covered programs.
As of October 2003, of the most recent SPOC list, the following jurisdictions have elected not to participate in the Executive Order process. Applicants from these jurisdictions or for projects administered by federally-recognized Indian Tribes need take no action in regard to E.O. 12372: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Palau, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, Washington and Wyoming.
Although the jurisdictions listed above no longer participate in the process, entities which have met the eligibility requirements of the program are still eligible to apply for a grant even if a State, Territory, Commonwealth, etc. does not have a SPOC. All remaining jurisdictions participate in the Executive Order process and have established SPOCs. Applicants from participating jurisdictions should contact their SPOCs as soon as possible to alert them of the prospective applications and receive instructions. Applicants must submit any required material to the SPOCs as soon as possible so that the program office can obtain and review SPOC comments as part of the award process. The applicant must submit all required materials, if any, to the SPOC and indicate the date of this submittal (or the date of contact if no submittal is required) on the Standard Form 424, item 16a. Under 45 CFR 100.8(a)(2), a SPOC has 60 days from the application deadline to comment on proposed new or competing continuation awards.
SPOCs are encouraged to eliminate the submission of routine endorsements as official recommendations. Additionally, SPOCs are requested to differentiate clearly between mere advisory comments and those official State process recommendations which may trigger the "accommodate or explain" rule.
When comments are submitted directly to ACF, they should be addressed to: Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families, Division of Discretionary Grants, 370 L'Enfant Promenade, SW., Washington, DC 20447.
The official list, including addresses, of the jurisdictions elected to participate in E.O. 12372 can be found on the following URL: http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/grants/spoc.html.

(2) The extent to which the applicant's fiscal controls and accounting procedures would ensure prudent use, proper and timely disbursement and accurate accounting of funds received under this program announcement. Start Printed Page 26122
2. Review and Selection Process
Applications will be screened to confirm that they are received by the deadline. Federal staff will verify whether the applicant is eligible and confirm that the application contains all the essential elements. Applications received from ineligible organizations and applications received after the deadline will be withdrawn from further consideration.
A panel of at least three reviewers (primarily experts from outside the Federal government) will use the evaluation criteria described in this announcement to evaluate each application. The reviewers will determine the strengths and weaknesses of each application, provide comments about the strengths and weaknesses and give each application a numerical score.
All applications will be reviewed and evaluated using four major criteria: (1) Objectives and need for assistance, (2) approach, (3) organizational profiles, and (4) budget and budget justification. Each criterion has been assigned a point value. The point values (summing up to 100) indicate the maximum numerical weight each criterion may be given in the review and evaluation process.
Reviewers also are evaluating the project products and materials proposed in applications. They will be interested in applicants' plans for sustaining the project without Federal funds if the evaluation findings are supportive. Reviewers will be looking to see that the total budget proposed and the way the budget is apportioned is appropriate and reasonable for the project described. Applicants are cautioned to remember that the reviewers only have the information provided them " and thus all information in the application must be clear, complete, and concise.
The results of the competitive review are a primary factor in making funding decisions. In addition, Federal staff conducts administrative reviews of the applications and, in light of the results of the competitive review, will recommend applications for funding to the ACYF Commissioner. ACYF reserves the option of discussing applications with other funding sources when this is in the best interest of the Federal government. ACYF may also solicit and consider comments from ACF Regional Office staff in making funding decisions. ACYF may take into consideration the involvement (financial and/or programmatic) of the private sector, national, or State or community foundations; a favorable balance between Federal and non-Federal funds for the proposed project; or the potential for high benefit from low Federal investment. ACYF may elect not to fund any applicants having known management, fiscal, reporting, programmatic, or other problems which make it unlikely that they would be able to provide effective services or effectively complete the proposed activity.
With the results of the peer review and the information from Federal staff, the Commissioner of ACYF makes the final funding decisions. The Commissioner may give special consideration to applications proposing services of special interest to the Government and to achieve geographic distributions of grant awards. Applications of special interest may include, but are not limited to, applications focusing on unserved or inadequately served clients or service areas and programs addressing diverse ethnic populations.

Video shows how brutal U.S. Open 18th green is
We know the U.S. Open will be a tough test as it always is.
Just how tough? Check out this video shot from Shinnecock Hills on Monday of someone just dropping a ball on the 18th green. Look at where it ends up:
Maybe you hope for rain to soften up that green. Maybe you just assume that you'll be lucky to par the hole, and you lay up short of the green so you're chipping and putting uphill.
Or maybe you just pray.

Ortho-Novum Side Effects
Headaches, changes in sex drive, and breast tenderness are some of the more common side effects reported with birth control pills, such as Ortho-Novum. Reactions such as these generally improve or go away completely within a few months, but some require immediate medical attention. If you experience any serious side effects, such as chest pain, migraines, or depression, contact your healthcare provider right away.
An Introduction to Ortho-Novum Side EffectsAs with any medicine, Ortho-Novum® can cause side effects. However, not all women who use the drug will experience side effects. In fact, most women tolerate it quite well. If side effects do occur, in most cases, they are minor and either require no treatment or are easily treated by you or your healthcare provider. Often, many of the bothersome side effects improve (or even completely go away) within the first few cycles of use.
(This article covers many, but not all, of the possible side effects with Ortho-Novum. Your healthcare provider can discuss a more complete list with you.)
Issues With the "Pill" and Clinical StudiesIn the United States, medications must undergo clinical studies before they are approved for use. For most medications, these studies are "placebo-controlled," which means that one group of people receives the actual medication, while another group is given a placebo (a "sugar pill" that looks just like the actual medication, but does not contain any active ingredients). The people are not usually told if they were given the real medication or the placebo (this is known as "blinding").
The side effects in both groups are carefully documented and compared. As a result, it is possible to see what side effects occur, how often they appear, and if they are actual side effects of the medication. However, it is not usually ethical to use a placebo in clinical trials for contraceptives, as this would lead to many unintentional pregnancies.

I give a standing ovation to Mitch Albom's Sports Illustrated article
Andrew Norton
Wow. I just read Mitch Albom's new article over at SI.com, "The Courage of Detroit." As a native Michigander whose heart goes out to our entire state I just think he hit it right on the head. My favorite quote? "We are downtrodden, perhaps, but the most downtrodden optimists you will ever meet."
Yep, that sums up Detroit and the rest of the state quite nicely. I'd wear a shirt that says, "Welcome to Michigan, home of the most downtrodden optimists you will ever meet." I'd wear that like a badge of honor.
I'm proud of our state and the people that live, work, and die here. They're the type of people that make America great.
Do yourself a favor and read The Courage of Detroit. Heck, print it out and tack it to the wall or stick it to the fridge. Pass it on and share it with everyone you know.
Thanks to the heads up on the article by Big Al over at The Wayne Fontes Experience. He mainly covers the Lions, but other Michigan sports teams are also mentioned from time to time. He tells it like it is.


text: Irish GAA sports gambling fans can now look back on an exciting 2012 season, and concentrate their sports gambling activities in other areas. Kilkenny finally achieved their 34th All Ireland Senior Hurling championship with a win over Galway in the replayed final, and from all reports it was some party when they got back to Kilkenny. The 2012 All Ireland Senior Football championship was won by Donegal in what may be the last final played under the current rules. Gaelic football gambling fans will be aware that there has been concern for some time that the game is not providing the excitement that it used to, and that the Rules Committee are in the process of consulting with Irish Gaelic football fans about potential rule changes to redress the balance, particularly with regard to the hand pass and the apparent lack of accurate kicking which has crept into the Irish game. The online consultation finished on Saturday and we understand that they have received more than 3,000 responses from Gaelic football gambling fans. This sort of response tends to indicate that the football fans remain committed to the game but are also well aware that something needs to change. Whatever the outcome of this consultation process, here at gambling.ie we totally applaud the decision to consult with the fans. We understand that there are as many as ten potential rule changes under discussion and that there will be an announcement in the very near future as to the conclusions of the Rules Committee. Certainly all the clubs will be keen to incorporate the new rules into their training as soon as possible, and the Gaelic football gambling fans who responded to the questionnaire will also be eagerly awaiting the results of their efforts.

"Menahem Pressler is a German-born American pianist and a founding member of the Beaux Arts Trio. He fled Nazi Germany in 1939 and emigrated to Palestine. His career was launched after he was awarded first prize at the Debussy International Piano Competition in San Francisco in 1946.

Since then, Pressler's extensive tours of North America and Europe have included performances with the orchestras of New York, Chicago, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Dallas, San Francisco, London, Paris, Brussels, Oslo, Helsinki, among others. After a solo career of nearly a decade, he débuted as a chamber musician at the 1955 Berkshire Festival, where he appeared as the pianist of the Beaux Arts Trio, with Daniel Guilet, violin, and Bernard Greenhouse, cello. He worked closely for over 30 years with the Emerson String Quartet."

This week has been crazy…but in-between all the craziness, it was a pretty decent week. I made FOUR, yes FOUR batches of fruit roll-ups, and none of them lasted very long. The kids LOVED them. Today I made pink lemonade cupcakes, they were super delicious. I'm not here to talk about my lemonade cupcakes…nope. My mom's super amazing home made Macaroni and cheese.
I've tried dozens of recipes…but still never found one that everyone enjoyed. So yesterday, Macaroni and Cheese was on the menu, I decided to call up my mom and ask for her recipe. As a kid I remember savoring every single bite of her Mac and cheese, she used shell pasta instead of elbow noodles, and the cheese would find its way into the shell pasta and every bite bursted with delicious cheeses!
The recipe was a HUGE hit (no photos though) everyone LOVED it (Except EverSoLightly, but I'm not sure he likes macaroni and cheese.) So I thought I'd share it with all of you! It's SUPER easy, and really yummy.
1 (or 2 depending on how much you're making) can of Cheddar soup (Campbell's)
2-3 cups of cheddar cheese
American Cheese
Ramano Cheese
1-2 cups milk
Cook your noodles as directed. While your noodles are cooking mix all the ingredients above in a pot. Mix together until everything is melted remove from heat. Once your noodles are cooked and your cheeses are melted, strain your noodles, and add them to the pot of melted gooey cheese. Stir. Serve. Enjoy!

I've always been a believer that you can make any place in the world your very own office. Airplane seats, laundromats, libraries, backyards; as long as there's a lap for my laptop, I'm good to go. The key word for working from anywhere is: adaptability.
For almost two years now, my home and office have been inside a 25' Airstream with my partner, Isaac and Rico the dog. Needless to say, there has been a lot of adapting. From a workspace perspective, there are many things to consider in order to create a productive work environment:
Electricity: We often dry camp on public land where there are no water or power hookups. To power my laptop, I have a GoalZero Yeti 150 power bank that's solar powered by a GoalZero Boulder 50 solar panel. If it's not sunny, I have to resort to using a generator or going into town to power up.
Internet: Between Isaac and I, we have hotspot capabilities via Verizon, AT&T and T Mobile. Between the three carriers, we're almost always covered in non-remote areas the US and Canada. There's also a WeBoost cell booster affixed to the camper antenna (originally intended for TV), that helps give us a few extra bars in areas that have a weak signal. We never camp anywhere during the week without cell reception. To check cell coverage before we arrive at a spot, we use an app called OpenSignal that has a user-generated coverage map for each network.
Workspace: I work long hours on a laptop and have severe neck problems, so, while lounging on a couch or hunching over a coffee table is okay for an hour or two, it's not a sustainable work habit for me. Isaac retrofitted a convertible standing desk in the camper which I've supplemented with a portable laptop stand, external keyboard and wireless mouse.
Alternative Options: There are some days when the landscape and environment are just too distracting, or the internet just isn't fast enough to upload that big PDF I need to send off. I always like to be aware of my alternative options such as coworking spaces, libraries or coffee shops.
It takes a lot of research, work and – most of all – self-discipline to maintain a productive on-the-road workspace, but it's definitely worth it when you look out the window and see a beautiful landscape.

quince compote, 2 ways
(Yields about 4 cups for each recipe)
The Magic of Quince is in the Cooking
Magic starts to happen as you cook quince. The unremarkable white interior of the fruit turns a beautiful rosy hue. The tannins that make raw quince so bitter and unpalatable break down into smaller compounds and color pigments are released. Even after cooking, if you store your compote in the refrigerator for several days, you'll notice the autumnal color gets richer.
3-4 quinces (about 1-1/2 lbs), peeled, cored and sliced into about 8 pieces
3 cups water
1 cup sugar
3/4 cups cider vinegar (or orange blossom or champagne vinegar)
orange zest from 1/2 orange, cut into 3 strips
6-8 whole cloves, poked through the orange zest
7-10 sage leaves
1 bay leaf
3-4 quinces (about 1-1/2 lbs), peeled, cored and sliced into about 8 pieces
4 cups of water
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup honey
12-15 whole cardamom pods
2 Tbsp rose water
If you are indeed making both compotes simultaneously, combine all the ingredients for the savory compote, except the quinces, in one large sauce pan. Separately, combine all the ingredients for the sweet compote, except the quinces in another large sauce pan. If you choose to making only one compote, follow along with just one pot.
Bring to a simmer over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and add quinces to each. Partially cover the pans with lids.
Continue to simmer until quinces are tender when pierced, about 45 minutes to one hour.
Allow to cool. Spoon into storage containers, pouring any liquid over the top of the fruit. Can be stored in the refrigerator for about a week.
Quinces start to ripen just as our holiday cooking begins to ramp up. If you are going to have one pot of quince compote simmering on the stove, why not make it two? How about a savory compote to serve in place of cranberry sauce at Thanksgiving and a sweet one to enjoy now over a bowl of ice cream.

Our Voice: Bladderpod decision partial victory at best
Franklin County farmers won a small victory with the recent decision by U.S. Fish and Wildlife to limit protection to what it calls an endangered plant to federal lands.
While farmers and other landowners won't be asked to protect the plant seems like the outcome many had been advocating, it is not a long-term solution to the issue of the White Bluffs bladderpod.
One farmer leading the fight called the exclusion of private land an "empty gesture," and here's why: The plant with the little yellow flowers will continue to loom large because Fish and Wildlife could decide that the use of pesticides or the use of irrigation on nearby lands could pose threats to the plant. It could then limit agricultural activities in a buffer zone around the 2,033 acres of critical habitat owned by the federal government.
And that could affect farmers in a big way, creating a large swath of land that could not be used for farming.
Farmer Kent McMullen, who testified before Congress on the bladderpod issue, said of his reaction: "I guess you could encapsulate it one word - disappointed."
A big portion of that disappointment came from the fact that Fish and Wildlife relied on a process developed in 1735 to designate the plant as threatened, rather than on modern science, McMullen said.
He and other farmers banded together to have the plant studied when federal officials said they did not have the dollars for genetic testing to determine if the plant growing here is truly different from all the other bladderpod species.
A DNA researcher from the University of Idaho took samples of plants and his examination showed that the plant was not distinct. Fish and Wildlife said the study was not broad enough to change a peer review group's decision. The agency also said it could not afford a DNA test of its own, even though farmers claim the government has budgeted more than $600,000 to protect the plant this year. The farmers spent $25,000 on the testing.
The only concession the agency made was to exclude private lands from the plant's designated critical habitat. For now.
The farmers aren't the only ones disappointed in the decision, though it could have been worse for farmers had the private lands remained in the package.
U.S. Rep. Doc Hastings, R-Pasco, has concerns about how the decision was made by Fish and Wildlife.
"The service agreed, behind closed doors, to a deadline with litigious groups to list the bladderpod this year as part of its 'mega-settlement' of numerous lawsuits and it's clear that nothing - not even new, contradictory independent science - was going to stop them," he said.
And as chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee, Hastings is in a position do something about it.
"Today's decision is a concrete example of how the 40-year-old Endangered Species Act is in need of reform," he said. "I will insist on an explanation and transparency relating to the service's decision on the bladderpod."
Hastings said he also hopes for some commonsense reforms to the ESA in the near future. We just hope the change happens soon enough to keep a plant that apparently thrives in areas other than the White Bluffs from taking any land out of the mix for one of our most important industries.

We rang in the New Year quietly, at YoshiMom's home with both YoshiParents. It was nice to stay in and have a peaceful evening, watching TV, napping, and helping with cooking (or rather, staying mostly out of the way).
We slept in, but once we were up, we had lots to do. Our first stop was near San Francisco for a late lunch/early dinner, Japanese Osechi. There was a fabulous spread of delicious food, including some of the crab we picked up at Half Moon Bay a day earlier, fresh sashimi (maguro and hamachi), butter mochi, and lot more. I forgot to take pictures this year, but believe me, it was a lot of food. All of it very yummy!
Around 6pm, we left this gathering and headed toward Sacramento to another New Years Day gathering; less osechi-style (though there were a few more "traditional" dishes), more potluck-style. By this time, I was too full to eat. Except for more butter mochi, of course. We had a great time catching up with everyone we hadn't seen since last New Years Day. Later on in the evening, I did go back for another round of food, and also got to play the bowling game on the kids' Nintendo Wii. I officially want a Wii!
Anyway, after this incredibly long day, YoshiMom drove us back to San Jose (but I kept her company and talked the whole way home).
Today we slept in (again), but we drove back to L.A.. I had to promise not to drive too fast and stayed under 80 (most of the time). I did get caught (by Yoshi) driving 85, but I was only doing that to pass someone and also had my foot off the pedal when I got caught. We were going to stop by the Gilroy Premium Outlets, but (wisely) skipped it. As if the entire trunk and backseat full of stuff wasn't enough!!!
Anyway, I always love seeing everyone on New Year Day, but I'm also glad to be back in our messy home again.
Oh yeah, the diet begins officially on Wednesday, January 3.
- Excited
- Fascinated
- Amused
- Bored
- Sad

Surging Cruz put on defense over surveillance law
Candidate under fire for backing spying limits
WASHINGTON - As concerns over home-grown terrorism push to the forefront of a tightening presidential race, Texas Republican Ted Cruz finds himself increasingly on the defensive for backing legislation that critics say weakened the government's ability to track potential attackers.
At the crux of the debate is the USA Freedom Act, a law passed last June that sets limits on the mass collection of phone records and other telecommunications "metadata" - that is, registers of calls, though not their contents.
The law ended a more intrusive program that raised alarms over privacy after it was brought to light by former National Security Agency worker Edward Snowden.
In the wake of last week's mass shooting in San Bernardino, Calif., and reports that the historical calling records in the case are now off-limits to FBI investigators, several GOP rivals have taken aim at the USA Freedom Act in general, and Cruz in particular.
The question came up Monday in an interview with nationally syndicated radio host Mike Gallagher, who questioned Cruz about the need to give the intelligence community the ability to monitor the calls, texts and emails "for example, (of)a homegrown terrorist who's living in San Bernardino."
Replied Cruz: "Absolutely, and what the USA Freedom Act did is strengthen our ability to do so."
But a host of critics, particularly rivals Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio, who is neck-and-neck with Cruz in some polls, charge that the USA Freedom Act did exactly the opposite.
Rubio's new attack line mirrors his recent sparring with Cruz over U.S. policy in Syria and defense spending. It also comes as Cruz commands the top spot in the latest Monmouth University poll of likely Iowa Republican caucusgoers – his first lead in any early state poll of the 2016 cycle.
Cruz registered 24 percent support in the Republican contest, marking a clear lead over past poll leader Donald Trump, at 19 percent in the Monmouth poll released Monday. Rubio followed at 17 percent, with a skidding Ben Carson now at 13 percent. Jeb Bush stood at 6 percent, and Rand Paul was at 4 percent.
'Critical information'
As Carson falls and the race reshuffles, Rubio cited a new Associated Press story over the weekend reporting that the government's ability to review five years' worth of telephone records for the married couple involved in the California massacre lapsed just four days earlier when the National Security Agency's mass surveillance program was formally shut down.
"Just four days before the terrorist attack in California this week, the USA Freedom Act limited our access to critical information about potential threats," Rubio said. "Because too many in Washington have failed to grasp the nature of this enemy, we have less access to intelligence information now than we did just days ago."
In a CBS interview on Friday, the Florida Republican said that was why he opposed the USA Freedom Act in the Senate. "It took away the right to collect metadata, which means that we can now not access the phone records of individuals that we either suspect of being involved in terrorism or who carry out an attack to see who they were coordinating or talking to."
The Cruz campaign says the charge is false because U.S. intelligence services can still track terrorist suspects and access their phone records through court order.
Responding to Rubio, the Cruz campaign cited a letter in May by the Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, who told Congress that the intelligence community believes that the USA Freedom Act "preserves the essential operational capabilities of the telephone metadata program and enhances other intelligence capabilities needed to protect our nation and its partners."
Cruz campaign national chairman Chad Sweet, who also served in the CIA's National Clandestine Service and as chief of staff at the Department of Homeland Security, also weighed in, arguing that it's inaccurate to assert that counterterrorism officials can't target someone who carries out an attack.
"The USA Freedom Act preserves America's ability to track down, kill or prosecute America's enemies, particularly those who have carried out attacks," he said.
Older records off-limits
But in pressing the attack, the Rubio campaign has used Cruz's own words against him, citing an interview on Fox News last week where the Texas Republican boasted about ending the government's collection of metadata.
"What the USA Freedom Act did was two things," Cruz said. "Number one, it ended the federal government's bulk collection of phone metadata. It ended the federal government having your cellphone information and my cellphone information."
In an email to reporters Friday, Rubio aide Alex Conant said "the truth is that because of Senator Cruz's legislation, the federal government can only access terrorists' metadata by jumping through hoops that are extensive & not conducive to fast-moving investigations. In some cases, the phone companies may not maintain the data and/or provide access to it."
The Associated Press story cited by Rubio noted that under the new USA Freedom Act, authorities are limited to roughly two years' worth of calling records for the California attackers, and that those records must come directly from a phone company. Under a recent shutdown order by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, the NSA's longer historical calling records are now off-limits to investigators, even with a warrant.
FBI Director James Comey declined to tell the Associated Press whether the NSA program's shutdown affected the government's terrorism investigation in California.
"I won't answer, because we don't talk about the investigative techniques we use," Comey said. "I'm not going to characterize it."
But last week's fatal shooting of 14 people in California have prompted new calls for reviewing the USA Freedom Act. Bush, criticizing President Barack Obama's Sunday night terrorism address, told Fox News Monday that the president "should have said that we should restore the metadata program … to make sure that we're safe here in the homeland."
