Off-Road Is Fun, But Going "Off-Label" May Land You in JailEPA and FDA, in cooperation with EPA Regional Offices, USDA, and the state regulatory officials, have been investigating reports that the restricted-use pesticide zeta-cypermethrin (registered by FMC under the trade names Fury and Mustang) has been illegally applied to 6,458 acres of wheat in Arkansas and 18,271 acres in Mississippi to control a serious outbreak of armyworms. Zetacypermethrin is not registered for use on wheat, and therefore no wheat tolerances are established.
Preliminary reports indicate that a company representative allegedly recommended that if zeta-cypermethrin is applied to wheat at one-half the rate on the cotton label (it is registered for use on cotton), no residues would be detected. The states, however, investigated these reports and found residues well above the tolerance for cotton. In the past 2 weeks, EPA has participated in numerous meetings and conference calls to determine the dimensions of the misuse, to coordinate a response within EPA and with the other concerned federal agencies, and to work with states and regional and field offices of FDA to make sure the adulterated wheat does not move off the farms. On June 11, a letter co-signed by EPA's Office of Enforcement and Compliance and Assurance (OECA) and FDA was sent out to EPA Regions and the states for distribution to farmers, warning them not to move the contaminated wheat into the market or feed it to animals.
In an incredible feat of coordination among federal and state agencies and the registrant, an agreement was reached and signed on Thursday, June 14, whereby the registrant (FMC)–through contract with a competent third party that has been agreed upon by all signatories (EPA, FDA, and registrant)–will (1) notify all affected growers of the company's plans to purchase their adulterated wheat; (2) purchase all wheat from the growers identified by the state regulatory officials, based at the Commodity Credit Corporation marketing-assistance loan rate for the county where the wheat was produced; (3) notify FDA and EPA immediately of growers refusing to sell their adulterated wheat; (4) monitor the harvest to ensure that the adulterated wheat does not enter interstate commerce; (5) store the wheat in segregated and secured facilities (either on the growers' farms or in contracted commercial facilities); and (6) be responsible for ensuring that this wheat not be released into interstate commerce unless and until FDA, in consultation with EPA and USDA, provides clearances following review of results after testing using FDA approved methods.
EPA's Health Effects Division (HED) conducted a dietary-exposure analysis using the Agency's Dietary Exposure Evaluation Model (DEEM) to assess the risk from acute and chronic dietary exposure to residues in food, including wheat, from the use of zeta-cypermethrin. This analysis took into consideration all potential dietary exposures from currently registered uses, pending uses, and illegal applications, as well as drinking water exposure, and assumed tolerance-level residues and 100% crop treated (worst-case assumptions). Based upon the results of the DEEM analysis, HED concluded that the residues of zeta-cypermethrin in/on wheat and its processed commodities do not pose a dietary risk once the levels in the raw agricultural commodity (RAC) fall below the detection limit of 0.02 ppm. That determination was transmitted as well to FDA in a letter from EPA on June 14.
Although we now have agreement and a plan as to the Fury-treated wheat in Mississippi and Arkansas, the tale is far from over! The state of Tennessee and EPA Region 4 are currently investigating reports of zeta-cypermethrin misuse on corn, soybeans, milo (sorghum), and bermudagrass grown for hay and pastures. Fortunately, these crops are not scheduled for harvest for a least a couple of months. Stay tuned! (Source: Wilfred Burr, USDA Office of Pest Management Policy, "6/21/01 Newest News" e-mail message.)
The moral?
Always compare the advice you receive against the label that comes with the pesticide you intend to use. Regardless of what someone tells you about pesticide uses and rates, THE PESTICIDE LABEL IS THE LAW, and you will be judged against it. Fortunately, in this case, it appears that the adulterated/contaminated wheat may be salvaged, or at least the growers will not lose 100% of their crop revenue. However, a rescue such as this should never be assumed. Considering the larger picture, the publicity surrounding off-label applications serves only to further erode public confidence in the safety of our food supply and the integrity of U.S. agriculture.
You may remember . . .
United States v. Roggy (D. MN): F. George Roggy, owner of Fumicor, Inc., of Edina, MN, was sentenced in St. Paul to 5 years in prison for unlawfully applying an unapproved pesticide, Dursban, on 19 million bushels of oats used by General Mills in the production of 160 million boxes of breakfast cereals. The sentence followed Roggy's November 15, 1994, criminal conviction by a jury on one count of misusing pesticides, one count of adulterating food, and 11 counts of mail fraud. Following the prison term, Roggy also received 3 years of supervised release, including 200 hours of community service in which he will lecture the community on the hazards of pesticides.
Fumicor was under contract with General Mills to apply the approved pesticide Reldan on oats stored by General Mills at grain elevators in the port of Duluth–Superior. Roggy submitted to General Mills invoices totaling $166,120 that showed he had used the approved pesticide Reldan to spray the grain. By knowingly making the illegal switch from Reldan to the unapproved and less expensive Dursban, Roggy saved over $85,000. General Mills, which subsequently destroyed the grain and cereal, suffered a loss in excess of $140 million as a result of the fraud. ( Source: http://es.epa.gov/oeca/accomplish/appendix/criminal.html) As of February, 2001, General Mills was still battling an insurance company in the Minnesota State Court of Appeals to recover losses due to the misuse.

Methyl parathion misuse: Between 1991 and 1997, Ruben Brown of Bellwood, IL, applied methyl parathion (a restricted-use agricultural insecticide) in hundreds of houses, apartments, and commercial buildings in Chicago and in at least 20 suburbs from Bolingbrook to Schaumburg. He also sold the chemical in unmarked jars. In December 1997, Brown was sentenced to 2 years in federal prison. In addition to Chicago, misuses of methyl parathion have been reported in Arkansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Ohio, Texas, and Tennessee. To date (5/1998), EPA has spent more than $79 million to cope with hazards at these sites.
(Source: http://www.epa.gov/region5/news98/98opa125.htm) Many other individuals in the previously mentioned states have since been fined and imprisoned, either for conspiring with Ruben Brown or for independently making similar, off-label applications.

Methyl Bromide Phaseout StatusOn June 13 and 14, 2001, Pete Caulkins and Rick Keigwin from EPA's Registration Division participated in a workshop co-sponsored by USDA and EPA where reports were presented on the status of the methyl bromide phaseout. Growers representing various commodity groups (including strawberries, tomatoes, tree nuts, tree fruits, nurseries, and forestry) presented their perspectives on the methyl bromide phaseout and their experience working with emerging alternatives. The consensus among many grower groups was that sufficient economic and viable alternatives do not currently exist to easily replace the use of methyl bromide.
Proceedings from the 2-day workshop will be available soon (presumably via the EPA Web site and phone numbers listed below). Representatives from EPA's Biological and Economic Analysis Division, as well as the agency's Office of Atmospheric Programs also participated in the workshop. (Source: Wilfred Burr, USDA Office of Pest Management Policy, "6/21/01 Newest News" email message.)
Methyl bromide, a pesticide widely used in agriculture for soil fumigation and for storage and structural treatments, was officially listed as an ozone-depleting chemical in 1992. Under the Montreal Protocol, governments have agreed international phaseout schedules. Industrialized countries will phase out methyl bromide by 2005, with interim reductions, while developing countries will freeze supplies by 2002, cut supplies 20 percent by 2005, and phase out the pesticide by 2015 (allowing for permitted exemptions).
(Source: http://www.gtz.de/proklima/methyl1.htm)
The EPA recognizes the importance to the agricultural community of the pesticidal activity of a material like methyl bromide and will strive to assist current users with the transition to alternative pest-control tools. In this regard, EPA is working closely with the U.S. agricultural community on research into alternatives to methyl bromide. Both EPA and USDA are working with scientists and farmers to ensure that economically viable and environmentally sound alternatives are in place and available as soon as possible. The EPA Office of Pesticide Programs has committed to accelerate paperwork on alternatives to methyl bromide to assure that such materials will be in place before the phaseout.
The EPA has published 30 case studies describing potential alternatives to methyl bromide. The full text of all of these documents are online (http://www.epa.gov/docs/ozone/mbr/) or can be ordered free by calling (800)296-1996 or (301)614-3396.

Relating to soil fumigation, the University of Illinois Extension Pesticide Applicator Training Program is developing a soil fumigation training manual to help Commercial, Commercial Not for Hire, and Public applicators prepare for the Soil Fumigation category exam. This manual will be available to applicators and other interested persons this fall through your University of Illinois Extension office and will replace the old "Soil Disinfestation: Methods and Materials" booklet.

Agrichemical Container Recycling ScheduleOnce again this summer, the Illinois Department of Agriculture (IDoA) is offering numerous sites throughout Illinois where you can drop off your empty 2.5-gallon pesticide containers. This year, there are 53 single-day sites (July 9 through August 16) and six year-round sites across Illinois. For date and location information, call the Pesticide Hot Line at (800)641-3934 or visit IDoA's Web site at www.agr.state.il.us/recycle.html.
Why recycle? When you recycle empty pesticide containers, you are helping to protect the environment by diverting potential waste to the production of useful products. Furthermore, you are helping to reduce the spread of your local landfills. Plastic from pesticide containers can be recycled into a number of products, including pallets, new pesticide containers, fuel for cement kilns, fence posts, roadside sign posts, guard rails, drainage tile, sewage tile, and hazardous waste drums.
Safe and successful recycling tips:
•Protection: Always wear protective clothing while rinsing containers.
•Empty: Completely empty the pesticide container.
•Clean: Triple-rinse or pressure-rinse the container immediately after use to prevent drying or caking of formulation residues.
•Inspect: Inspect the container inside and around the spout threads to ensure that it is free of formulation residues. Clean but stained containers are acceptable.
•Remove: Discard the cap, foil seal, and label from the container because they are not accepted for recycling.
•Puncture: Render the container unusable by puncturing it.
•Type accepted: Only 2.5-gallon containers made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) #2 plastic are acceptable for recycling. The sites are not able to accept or recycle mini-bulk and other large containers.
•Keep the container dry: The recycler will not accept a container with liquid in it–keep containers out of the rain.
(Bruce E. Paulsrud)
Pesticide Disposal OptionsDisposing of pesticide concentrate that is no longer needed or legal to use can be a burden, but safe disposal options are available to you. The first step is to store the product in a safe place (away from children, potential flooding sites, etc.) for future, proper disposal or collection. Be sure the container is labeled and in good condition.
One method to get rid of excess pesticide concentrate is to contact the pesticide manufacturer to see if they will take it back. Another method is to contact other possible users of the pesticide to see if they have a use for it. For legal reasons, never sell a pesticide unless you are a licensed dealer. Both of these suggestions are based on the assumption that the pesticide is in the original, fully labeled container. Keep in mind that you may apply a pesticide to a labeled site even if the pest is absent.
Pesticides with outdated labels (labeled uses have changed or the pesticide has been taken off the market) can usually still be used until supplies are exhausted. This means that for most pesticides with outdated labels, you can legally use up the pesticide according to the label on the container. There are exceptions to the rule because for some pesticides the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) allows old-label uses for only a short time after product cancellation or label change. In rare cases, USEPA may put a stop use on a product at the time of cancellation. For instance, it is no longer legal to use old stocks of 2,4,5-T or chlordane in the United States. Contact the pesticide manufacturer to find out if you can still use the product. You can also contact the state lead agency, Illinois Department of Agriculture, (217)785-2427; or the USEPA to obtain the same information.
Collection programs provide another way to get rid of unwanted pesticides. These programs have been available somewhat sporadically over the last several years. A program of this type involves a sponsoring state agency, a source of grant or other funds, and frequently an industry or other group that takes responsibility for assisting the program's development. University of Illinois Extension advertises these collection programs when they occur.
1. For "household activity" pesticides, contact the Illinois EPA, (217)785-8604, and ask when they plan to offer their next "Household Hazardous Waste Collection" in your area. Alternatively, you can view a list of the collection sites at www.epa.state.il.us/land/citizen-involvement/index.html.
2. For agricultural pesticides, contact the Illinois Department of Agriculture, (217)785-2427, and ask when they plan to offer their next "Agricultural Pesticide Clean Sweep" site in your area.
3. For structural pesticides (those used by professional applicators to control pests in and around structures), contact the Illinois Department of Public Health, (217)782-4674, and ask when they plan to offer their next "Structural Pesticide Clean Sweep" site in your area.
With commercial agricultural or structural pesticide collection programs, there may be a period before the collection time when anyone wanting to dispose of pesticides must declare which pesticides and how much of each they will be bringing to the collection site. This advance notice allows the sponsoring agency to work with the commercial waste collector to get the maximum amount of pesticide disposal for the money. In this process, some pesticides or pesticide formulations may be refused.
The most expensive option is to contact a waste hauler/collector. Large disposal and transport fees are involved. Even a few small containers with transport fees are likely to cost about $1,000. Your local waste hauler may be able to dispose of certain pesticides; if not, they should be able to refer you to a company that can deal with the waste. These may include:
• PDC Laboratories, (309)688-0760, Peoria
• Onyx Environmental Services, (618)271-2804, Sauget, IL
• Heritage Environmental Services, (317)243-0811, Indianapolis
If you contact a commercial waste collector, they will ask you to submit an inventory of chemicals. They will then provide you with a price quote and set up a collection date and time.

Sewer Line Root Control: New Category and Study ManualWhat are your plans for this summer? Do they include commercially controlling tree roots within sewer lines by using pesticides? If so, then you should be aware of a new law in Illinois pertaining to this.
First of all, you should know that anyone wishing to use a herbicide, fumigant, or other pesticide in Illinois to control tree roots in sewers–for hire or as part of their job–must be certified by the Illinois Department of Agriculture.
The new law provides for an additional technical category of licensure available to pesticide applicators, called Sewer Line Root Control. Pesticide applications of this nature were previously included in the Rights-of-Way Pest Control category. Applicators currently licensed under the Rights-of-Way category will be grandfathered in until their current certification license expires. Certification licenses are valid with the state for a period of 3 years. New applicators must successfully pass a 100-question General Standards exam and a 50-question Sewer Line Root Control category exam, which is based on sewer root management.
Management of tree roots in sewers involves an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach. Sewer root IPM includes carefully selecting tree species and planting sites near sewer lines, maintaining the integrity of the lines to prevent root penetration, mechanically cutting and removing tree roots within sewer lines, and using pesticides to kill roots within the sewer lines and to help prevent regrowth into the lines.
University of Illinois Pesticide Applicator Training (PAT) specialists have prepared a new study manual containing this basic information, which is needed to become a certified sewer line root control applicator in Illinois. The Sewer Line Root Control manual sells for $8.00 and can be ordered three ways:
By phone:(800)644-2123 or (217)244-2123
By mail: University of Illinois, PAT Program
1201 S. Dorner Dr.
Urbana, IL 61801
By fax: (217)244-3469
Currently, training for Sewer Line Root Control is not available at PAT clinics. For information about testing or licensing, please contact the Illinois Department of Agriculture at (800)641-3934. Enjoy your summer!

A World-Class Study and Work Environment
Trained as a classical percussionist, I grew up rummaging in record shops, self-releasing hand-painted CDs, and peeling PVA glue from my fingers. Since then, I've performed and written music in quite a few places around the world, most recently London, Rotterdam and Berlin, and Morelia, Mexico. I tend to make pieces that involve computers, and along the way I've had the chance to work with some very good people.
During my music degree at Cambridge, I became particularly interested in thinking and writing about the ways in which we listen to music and sound, and in the things that this listening may do for or mean to us that we don't already acknowledge. At Oxford, I'll pursue this work as far and as freshly as possible, revelling in the gaps and overlaps between contemporary music, theories of repetition and ideas about cultural trauma.
Oxford in its own right is an incredible place to study, but the chance to undertake this learning inside a tight-knit community encouraged and supported to exchange ideas, collaborate on projects, and plumb the depths of our own and each others' work is a dream. I expected a lot when I arrived, and it has proven to be more than I could have dared hope.

sister friends
Back then, you made best friends with the stoner chick in art history when she gave you a ticket to the show for your birthday. Friendship was catalyzed by general education requirements and bonded by the shared love of a band. And lsd.
When you broke up with your boyfriend, she came over with a bag of groceries and rented vhs tapes for a marathon power lounging sess. She made you watch "The Joy Luck Club" and "The Color Purple" and you both cried and cried the messy hiccup-y cry that soon mushrooms into a dark lamentation of All That Is Wrong With The Dream. Shitty boyfriends, detached boomer parents, and deforestation of our beloved redwoods, and what about the rainforest? Why was there so much unkindness?
We loved Julia Butterfly Hill, we wanted our apartments to look like a Joni Mitchell Song. We had no idea how beautiful we were. We chased after boys who also failed to realize how beautiful we were.
Back then, when you fainted and she ditched you in the balcony at the Warfield for a cute hippie dude with floor tickets, you started to learn more about friendship. And hippies. Later, when you had plans to share a house with a puppy in the yard and a vegetable garden, she moved in with the guy you both bought weed from. She got pregnant.
You stopped speaking to her. You started to hang out with an eccentric group of artists or intellectuals or generic college students. You added reggae and hip hop to the mix tape collection. You traded in your Birkenstocks for combat boots. You started to wear a bra. You finished growing up without her.
Decades later, when you meet again on Facebook, she will send you a hostile email about what a lousy friend you were because you stopped talking to her. You learn that she had to move back home to her parents in Nebraska (or Long Beach, or Akron, or Scottsdale), her mom died in a car accident, she once had to work at a strip club in Minnesota in the late 90s, she is an alcoholic.
You miss her.
Both of you are right to be angry.

yes we have no aloha
|if good fences make good neighbors...
Have you ever met someone with an aloha deficit who wants to move to Hawaii? Might I introduce you to my neighbor No-loha?
No-loha has never said hello over the fence, even though we can see each other over the fence, both front yard and back. Well, now actually we only see each other over the fence in the front yard because the clumping black Buddha bamboo planted last year along the wall in the backyard has reached epic proportions.

or so says joseph strauss
The Redwoods
by Joseph Strauss
Here, sown by the Creator's hand.
In serried ranks, the Redwoods stand:
No other clime is honored so,
No other lands their glory know.
The greatest of Earth's living forms,
Tall conquerors that laugh at storms;
Their challenge still unanswered rings,
Through fifty centuries of kings.

poop spelled backwards is still poop.
The stretch of sidewalk that wraps itself around my home has been littered with an ever-impressive array of poop. Some are nicely mounded and easy to retrieve. Still, some poops suggest that an owner dragged his or her leashed best friend down the street mid-action: a trail of turds, like a charming line of Hershey's kisses delicately dropped in a row.
Dog poo can be a useful gopher deterrent, but basically I think we can all agree that poo stinks.
Perhaps there is a heavy magnetic field on this particular street, and dogs feel energetically compelled to release here; that's cool. Just be a good neighbor and pick it up. Poo karma is like gum karma. If you spit out your gum in a place where people are likely to step on it, you will likely step in gum yourself. If you leave poo where people are likely to step on it, new poo will find you.
I started to leave chalk messages on the sidewalk to encourage responsible and neighborly dog custodianship. First, I was firm like a schoolmarm : "Good neighbors pick up after their dogs!" I should have anticipated that a big shit would greet this message the next day. The next approach was a little sweeter: "Thanks for being a good neighbor and picking up after your dog." This didn't really work either.
I started to surrender to the poop problem— what choice did I have? I could continue to get annoyed and antagonized by shitty neighbors or I could surrender. The poo became my guru— or my poo-ru, if you will. And when my energy surrounding the problem shifted, the problem shifted too. Now I rarely have an errant poo to report.

a lady may garden
"A flower garden is a great resource to a lady. We have, in our rather limited sphere, a good deal to suffer, and a good deal to make the best of, and, in each case, our minds seem healed and mollified by the sight and smell of our gay and fragrant parterres. A flower, too, is a sermon-- it preaches to our hearts and minds-- it speaks to us loudly and powerfully of the tender love of our and its Creator...Thus in every way our garden is a kind of benefactor-- it gives us moral health and physical health, pleasure and profit, recollection, and sometimes blessed forgetfulness...".
"My Flowers" by Rosa (ca. 1848) from The Armchair Book of Gardens: A Miscellanyi've been known to keep a garden and i do so love the smell of loam in the morning. i busied myself for most of 2013 with a garden, and though i still tend to see what hasn't grown in yet, and what still needs to be done (even though one is never 'done' with a garden) i am quite pleased with the results thus far.

5 lessons from leroy's dance audition
in this classic movie moment from fame (1980), leroy agrees to help his friend because she needs a dance partner to audition for the school of performing arts. her performance is not impressive, but leroy doesn't fail to get the attention of the selection committee because he is a dance machine, he just can't help it. this is the best clip available on the youtubes presently, and it is dubbed in french-- but there is no language barrier, truly, when we speak of the dance.

Going to Canada
Her mother called to alert us: Alice was missing.
I was saddened but not surprised because Alice had a history of missingness. The client/patient/friend has a right to self-determine. If an adult woman wants to stop taking her meds and buy designer luxury items on clearance, there isn't much any of us can do about it. By the time Alice bought a pair of Donna Karan spike heeled leather boots in eggplant purple, her missingness was already among us.
Donna Karan spike heeled leather boots in eggplant purple are crazy-fun, not crazy-crazy. But it was a rather unusual fashion choice for Alice. She has a pattern of shopping to excess as her mania ascends. Also, the night she showed up in the boots, she asked me to ride along with her to San Francisco-- a two hour road-trip at midnight.*

Button Easter Eggs
This entry was posted on March 4, 2013.
Button Easter Eggs
The use of buttons as a setting for craft ideas has never really failed to amaze most crafters and we have a great craft idea for Easter that can let you create amazing looking eggs to wow your friends and family.
Things you need
- Styrofoam eggs
- Mixed buttons in similar shades
- Acrylic paints if you like, similar colour to your buttons
- Craft or Jewel Glue
- Ribbons
- Crafting pins
- Egg Cup For Display if you not using Ribbons To Hang
1. Start painting your Styrofoam eggs in a lighter shade along with the color of your buttons. It will give a beautiful background in your buttons and to fill in the line spaces behind any gaps you leave.
2. Bring out your jar of buttons or purchase some inexpensive buttons from Anycraft. We have plenty of buttons for sale that you can use. You can use any colour combinations to create different shades of egg to suite your themes.
3. Start placing glue on the buttons all over the entire surface of the Styrofoam egg. Search for crafting glues as these are ideal for sticking buttons in place as there should be no need to press the buttons to firmly, then you can pin them in position.
4. The bottom easily holds on immediately leaving you free to glue the other button. Just leave the part that goes into an egg cup to be sure of that the egg stands without wobbling.
5. You may put a special favourite button and placed it on the centre then arrange the rest around it.
6. Take a nice button and insert it vertically at the top. Push the bottom of the button through the Styrofoam to stay in place.
7. Use a nice ribbon to wrap around the middle and tie into a bow or loop so you can use to hang from your window.

Genre: Militia, Science Fiction
Book Description
Matt Rowley hasn't been human for years. A commando for the International Council on Augmented Phenomena, he hunts down superhuman monsters the military can't handle. But his abilities come with a price: bloodthirsty whispers that urge him to acts of terrible violence. An encounter with a giant, angelic being with wings of smoke and shadow casts him into a world of inhuman brutality, demonic possession, and madness, where he must choose between his family and his soul.
The Review
Matt Rowley, an ICAP commando, and his crew are always on the move. This time, they are inside a warehouse. It should be an easy operation, with little to no casualties. They maneuver the building and encounter more resistance than they had expected, but they hold off the goons long enough to make it to the helicopter. Once they are out of harm's way, Matt and his boss debate the likelihood that something was off about the mission.
From then on, disturbing events unfold, and Matt and his team learn things that would make grown augmented men shudder—things that might very well strip away everything they know and love. In the meantime, ICAP kept them busy, sending them to foreign lands to spearhead negotiations with a Jade dealer.
Midway, Matt and his squad are propelled into a high-octane bloodlust fight. Lives are extinguished, some they regret, others not so much. Cursing the choice he was forced to make, Matt soldiers on, determined to find out what went wrong.
Will he find out what caused all of the chaos or will they die before learning the truth?
I like that…
Matt can crush a trachea with his thumb, but when he is at home with his wife, Monica, he is a different man. Even when he feels like his humanity is slipping away, she is the thread that holds him together.

Man who landed gyrocopter at Capitol in protest pleads guilty to felony
Gyrocopter pilot pleads guilty to federal charges – that was kind of the point.
WASHINGTON (AP) — A Florida man who piloted his one-person aircraft through some of the nation's most restricted airspace and landed on the lawn of the U.S. He audaciously flew his single-seater aircraft through one of the country's most restricted airspaces, defiantly landed it on the US Capitol's West Lawn only to be greeted by a massive law enforcement response, and seemingly has no regrets about it now.Douglas Hughes said earlier this month that he had agreed to a deal in which he would plead guilty to a felony, operating a gyrocopter without a license.
The felony carries a potential for up to three years in prison, but prosecutors said they would not request more than 10 months if he pleaded guilty, according to Mr. He is expected to formally enter the plea during a federal court hearing Friday in Washington. (TM and © Copyright 2015 CBS Radio Inc. and its relevant subsidiaries. In a plea deal with prosecutors, Douglas Hughes, 62, of Ruskin, Fla., admitted to the lead count of a May indictment charging him with six felony and misdemeanor offenses for flying his low-power gyrocopter from Gettysburg, Pa., to the District on April 15.
Hughes was a mail carrier at the time, and he was carrying letters for each member of Congress and had a Postal Service logo on the tail section of his gyrocopter. His website,thedemocracyclub.org, detailed his plans to personally deliver letters to all members of Congress to raise awareness about campaign finance corruption. Even before he appeared in court, Hughes and protest organizers supporting him announced that he would ask the judge for an April sentencing so he could be in town and join a planned march to the U.S. Hughes has said that he lost his job as a postal worker after the flight and that after he resolves his criminal case, he hopes to work as an activist and continue to speak out against money in politics. An open question is whether Hughes will be allowed to participate in a march for campaign-finance reform from Philadelphia to Washington from April 2 to 11 and speak at a rally in the capital.
Capitol in Washington from Philadelphia. "I hope by putting my freedom on the line, others might realize how precious their freedom is and join those of us engaged in the fight to preserve and protect our government of, by and for the people," Hughes said. "It creates a situation where this court could be turned into a circus," Chawla said. "We want legitimate protest that is not in violation of our laws." Hughes's attorney, Mark L. Goldstone said the incident "exposed major flaws" in Washington's air defense system, and it came after a series of embarrassing security lapses for the Secret Service. Goldstone, had said before the plea that Hughes "doesn't intend to give up his First Amendment rights to take on corruption in government," but he also "has no intention of getting arrested." Kollar-Kotelly did not decide whether she would alter the terms of Hughes's conditional release to allow him to leave his home in Hillsborough County, Fla., to attend the rally, and asked for further briefings on that issue.
Indeed, an August report by the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee showed the incident brought to light significant gaps in capitol security and the need for better air security technology and information-sharing. But Tony Miles, a federal public defender, said Hughes wouldn't break the law and said prosecutors couldn't stifle Hughes' rights to protest the cause that landed him in federal court. Kollar-Kotelly said she wanted to learn more about the march and rally organized by a group called 99 Rise before deciding whether to allow Hughes to participate. Federal Election Commission, in which the court decided campaign contributions were a form of "political speech" and struck down limits on how much corporations and unions could give to political contenders.
Hughes initially faced charges of flying without an airman's certificate, operating an unregistered aircraft, flying in restricted national-defense airspace without a flight plan and labeling a vehicle falsely as part of the Postal Service. She said sentencing guidelines for trespassing suggested a sentence of zero to six months for someone with his background, but that trespassing wasn't really analogous to what he did. Hughes was seen flying about 100 feet off the ground along the National Mall from the Washington Monument before landing on the Capitol's West Front lawn, according to Kathryn Rivera, a U.S. At a congressional hearing in April, military and civilian authorities said they were developing plans to better track and defend against small, slow-moving aircraft like Hughes was flying.

Laduma Ngxokolo
In what can only be described as a coup, Laduma Ngxokolo's MaXhosa knitwear has got tongues not only wagging, but also practising their clicks.
'English speakers can't pronounce my name,' says Ngxokolo. 'But they'll learn.'
With all the negative press usually associated with the traditional Xhosa circumcision ritual, it makes sense that, as a proud Xhosa, Ngxokolo wants to change this.
'I concentrate on the celebration side of the ritual. After a man is initiated, he gets a whole new wardrobe. I created my range with them in mind.'
Having sold out at the Design Indaba at the beginning of the year, Ngxokolo is now in a position to employ some of the people he's identified to help grow his brand.
'I met Li Edelkoort and she's interested in exhibiting one of my pieces in Paris… It's a bit scary, all this attention.'
Ngxokolo stresses the importance of supporting local industry: 'When you buy local you're supporting farmers in the Eastern Cape, supporting the spinning mills… I want to keep working with protein fibres and hair fibres, and master this skill.'
We were lucky enough to grab some photos from his recent stint at London Fashion Week, where he exhibited along with Stiaan Louw and Heni Este-Hijzen. Check out his designs in the slider.

Question about Dell Inspiron 6400 Notebook
Hi. After uninstalling a few programs, a few settings in my inspiron 6400 got screwed up. Im now trying to fix them one by one. One of these is the Volume control that appears on the lower right corner when you adjust the volume. It wont come up anymore. Can anyone tell me how to get it back up, or how to revert to the original computer settings (which would be even better) Thanks in advance!
Posted by rico355 on
No guys the problem remains, I've noticed its not only with the volume, but other icons that should appear when i use the hotkeys (hotkeys are working), for example, when I lower the brightness a sun icon usually came up to show me how bright it is, its not anymore.
Open Control Panel, Open Sound & Audio Devices. Click the Audio tab. Check what device is listed, Sound playback device? Click the Voice tab, it should list the same device. You can reinstall the driver software from the Dell download site listed below. Fact all your drivers here are listed.
Every file you install uncompress it's self & creats it's own folder inside the main folder located on your drive named Dell. Keep this in mind because windows may loose the path to a driver. You will have to show windows where the driver files are. Now your armed with that knowlage (just in case).
please vote...
Posted on Feb 06, 2008
So when you open control panel & open Sound & Audio devices the check mark is checked to place volume icon in the taskbar? While your there see if a device is listed in Audio & voice? Lastly, I'd like you to open System listed in control panel. Click on the Hardware tab & than click on Device manager. Notice any yellow ! ? Post your answers.
There is always system restore!
Yep, Its called the Dell Hotkeys download.

A proposal that will make it easier for foreign entrepreneurs in the US to start the next Google or Yahoo will be debated in the new year.
Congressman Jared Polis has proposed a start-up visa to entice "foreigners with good ideas" to stay in the US.
The issue has been gathering steam in Silicon Valley where half of all tech company founders are immigrants, according to Duke University research.
The idea is part of a proposed overhaul of the US immigration system.
"Every day the American economy is losing ground – not to mention high-tech jobs and technologies – to India and China because foreign-born entrepreneurs cannot secure a visa to stay in the US," he said.
Lost opportunity
Eric Diep, who has just turned 22, could be regarded as one entrepreneur who got away.
He came to Silicon Valley as a student like many immigrant founders who have helped start companies such as Google and PayPal.
Mr Diep was one of the first developers to get into social games with his application called Quizzes, initially launched on the social networking site Facebook.
Over a year ago he started to apply for a visa to allow him to carry on working in the Valley, but he soon encountered problems.
"The reason it was so difficult for me was because I dropped out of university and the stipulation for a lot of visas is undergraduate experience. My age also seemed to be an issue for the attorneys
"At the beginning it wasn't the expense in terms of legal fees but the big problem soon became one of distraction. I was trying to spend as much time working on perfecting my product but then I would have to go away and figure out the legalities of applying for the visa," Mr Diep told BBC News.
In the end, Mr Diep decided to base himself in his native Canada and travel back and forth to Silicon Valley.
"The flying is so tiring between the two places and it's expensive. At one point, I had no money left in my bank account but at the last minute money came in and now I feel pretty fortunate that I can still do this.
"It was a pretty close call," he added.
He backs a start-up visa because, for him, being in Silicon Valley is where he needs to be.
"Being there at the time really launched me. I would never have spotted the social gaming opportunity had I not been there."

MANCHESTER UNITED winger Ashley Young has asked Jose Mourinho to let him go out on loan.
Young has only made ten appearances for United this season and his last Premier League start was against Swansea back in November.
Despite the lack of game time, Mourinho sees the 31-year-old winger as a valued member of the squad who can be utilised from the bench or starting in cup games.
Keep up to date with ALL the Manchester United news, gossip, transfers and goals on our club page plus fixtures, results and live match commentary
Young has fallen behind Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial, Jesse Lingard and Henrikh Mkhitaryan for opportunities in attack -and has had to settle for a handful of starts at full back.
SunSport exclusively revealed Young has been offered a lucrative contract to join Chinese Super League outfit Shandong Luneng this month with Premier League sides chasing a short term deal.
West Ham, West Bromwich Albion, Crystal Palace and his former club Watford have all made contact with United about a loan deal.
A temporary move for the former Aston Villa man could be tricky, the United boss has said no players will be leaving Old Trafford this month apart from goalkeeper Sam Johnstone who will go out on loan.
Most Read in Football
Young could feature in the League Cup semi-final second leg at Hull on Thursday – United are two up from the first leg at Old Trafford.
Saturday's FA Cup home tie with League one side Wigan Athletic is another chance for the winger to stake a claim for a regular place.

Tension in Democratic Party after Obama speech
Tensions within the Democratic Party were on display in the living rooms of Massachusetts, where liberal activists watched President Barack Obama's State of the Union address with skepticism.
Like many in the party's far-left wing, those who enjoyed pizza and beer at a Boston-area watch party Tuesday night have been disappointed by the president's performance while facing a divided Congress. Some offered positive marks for his speech, but said that it did little to resurrect their once-passionate enthusiasm for the nation's top Democrat...

ACLU Shooed Away From Boston Bomber Hearing After Claiming He Is Being 'Tortured' Behind Bars
The American Civil Liberties Union has been shut out of weighing in on accused Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's claims of hardship behind bars at a hearing tomorrow to address whether the alleged terrorist deserves to be cut some slack while he awaits trial.
U.S. District Court Judge George A. O'Toole Jr. also ordered a memorandum the ACLU Foundation of Massachusetts submitted in support of its position stricken from the public record, explaining in his decision, "While there may be no positive rule forbidding it, in my judgment a trial court presiding over a criminal prosecution should not receive or consider volunteered submissions by non-parties except as may be specifically authorized by statute ... or other authority."...

Biden Congratulates Wrong Guy in Boston Mayor Race
When Marty Walsh won the Boston mayor's race, Vice President Joe Biden was quick to pick up the phone to congratulate him.
But, there was a problem. The Marty Walsh who Biden had on the other end of the phone wasn't the Marty Walsh who had been elected to succeed longtime Boston Mayor Thomas Menino.
The Marty Walsh who Biden had connected with was actually a former aide to the late U.S. Senator Edward Kennedy.
That Marty Walsh said before he could explain the mix-up, Biden launched into his congratulations, saying ''Marty, you did it, you son of gun.''...

Miami (AFP) - South Korea's Park Sung-Hyun opened up a commanding three-shot lead at the season-ending LPGA Tour Championship on Friday, forging clear of the field after a front-nine birdie blitz.
The 24-year-old US Women's Open champion carded a seven-under-par 65 at the Tiburon Golf Club in Naples, Florida, to leave her at 12 under for the tournament heading into the weekend.
If Park manages to defend her lead she could scoop the Player of the Year honours as well as the LPGA money title and the $1 million bonus on offer for the Race to the CME Globe crown.
Park would also be likely to unseat China's Feng Shanshan as women's world number one with a victory.
The Korean rookie, who carded a 67 in the first round, got off to a steady start on Friday with four consecutive pars.
She then uncorked five straight birdies from the fifth hole onwards to put her at five under at the turn, 10 under overall.
A further birdie on 12 was followed by a spectacular eagle three on the par-five 17th, when she nailed a 30-foot putt. A bogey on the 18th, when she missed a five-foot par putt, was the only blemish.
"I didn't know I had made five in a row," Park said of her front nine birdie run. "I got behind in writing down my score and when I did and realized what I had done it felt good."
Park said she was not thinking about the possibility of a grandstand finale to her season. "I don't think about that other stuff," she said. "I don't feel quite as nervous as I thought I would. I can go into the weekend feeling a little more comfortable."
Park is being pursued by Germany's Caroline Masson, who is three shots back on nine under after a second-round 66. Masson is tied for second place with Australia's Sarah Jane Smith, who moved to nine under with a 69.
Three players are four shots off the lead tied for fourth -- Nelly Korda and Swedish duo Pernilla Lindberg and Madelene Sagstrom.
Two other players in the hunt for the Player of the Year honours -- Ryu So-Yeon and China's world number one Feng -- will need to produce something special this weekend to overhaul Park.
Both Ryu and Feng are 11 shots off the lead at one under.

Oh, the joys of those post-Christmas days to just spend with new presents and family activities.ReplyDelete
I love the loom your children are using...I had one as a child. In fact, I still have it and my children have started weaving on it as well. Right now, it has multiple colours of acrylic yarn on it for a blanket for a tiny stuffed dog. I am sure that it will see much use in the future.ReplyDelete

Childhood Mental Disorders and IllnessesParenting
Advisory Board on Autism and Related Disorders (ABOARD)
The Advisory Board on Autism and Related Disorders is an organization created to help families who have members with autism. ABOARD provides information and resources to caretakers and it helps families who are waiting for diagnosis, educational support and therapeutic interventions. ABOARD is designed to help families of adult individuals with autism as well. With the spike in the number of cases of autism, many families are unable to get services in a timely manner.
ABOARD is located in Western Pennsylvania and its efforts are primarly focused on serving this region. The organization works to create awareness in the community by sending speakers to schools, private organizations and public organizations and through press releases. ABOARD provides information packages and it operates an information library for members. It also keeps a current list of agencies that provide services for individuals with autism.
The Advisory Board on Autism and Related Disorders has a structured network of support groups. Family members can have one-on-one support or they can be connected to one of the fifty-three support groups ABOARD oversees. The support groups are organized by diagnosis and age. Through this network of groups, parents can connect with other parents who have experience with autism.
Support Groups
Support groups are mutual self-help groups, run either by peers (other parents of autistic children), or by professionals working in the autism or PDD field. Families can find autism or PDD support groups in a number of ways: through ABOARD and similar organizations, through schools, agencies or doctors, and on the Internet. Groups are usually offered 'face-to-face', but more and more, they are organized and delivered through Internet based communities. The American Self-Help Clearinghouse, hosted by Mental Help Net, is an excellent online place to search for face-to-face self-help groups. (http://www.mentalhelp.net/selfhelp/selfhelp.php?idx=41&isindex2=autism).
Support groups are often designed to offer focused support for particular problems or demographics. For example, support groups for the siblings of people with autism are common. Such groups work to help siblings understand the disorder and to relate to their brothers or sisters with autism. They teach techniques for interacting with siblings, and they provide emotional support as well. There are also support groups for parents, autistic adults, and for specific PDD diagnoses, including Asperger's Syndrome, Rhett's Disorder, Childhood Disintegrative Disorder and Pervasive Developmental Disorders in general. Many of these support groups can be found on the Internet. Families may choose to visit Internet support groups or they may choose to research local 'face-to-face' support groups over the Internet.

Ben and Vikki decided to involve their guests and add even more fun to their wedding by organising a Bake Off! Using their new married name to add a personal twist to it, they called it the 'Great Bishop Bake Off' and superimposed their faces onto a picture of Marry Berry and Paul Hollywood.
It gave the guests a chance to show off their baking skills and also meant there was lots of extra pudding. The caterers and the venue team were the judges, and prizes were awarded during the wedding speeches.
Both Ben and Vikki's mum mentioned the bride's dad in their speeches – although he wasn't physically present at the wedding, he was all around them. His photo was on the welcome table and Ben asked his nan to make a memento of Vikki's dad's name and his football team colours, red and white for Southampton, on silk to be sewn into her wedding dress. It was delivered to her on the morning of the wedding alongside a Tiffany bracelet and a bunch of roses – it made her cry!

CCR is to undertake interdisciplinary research on the effects of human and environmental forcing on coastal living resources.
Our understanding of how harvesting may warp the selective landscape is limited, partly due to the difficulty of tracking the fate of individuals, and their genes, in the open sea. Empirical studies on coastal populations may offer great potential for elucidating harvestrelated selective processes. First, realism will be maintained by studying wild animals in their natural habitat. Second, control will be improved due to semi-sheltered study areas ontaining local populations.
Our research project is a comparative study on three harvested species: the Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua), European lobster (Homarus gammarus) and anadromous Brown trout (Salmo trutta). The main goal is to quantify fitness effects of selective harvesting and protection from harvesting. In addition, our research project aims to set up empirical field studies linking life history data, molecular genetic data and behavioural data in order to broadly assess fitness of marine species in their natural environment.

This year we are launching our long-planned, month to month subscription CSA program. We are calling it, Simple Share. We have opted to rename our program because it is being designed to bring you even more than high-quality local food. Members will become part of the farm family, sharing with us not only in the produce of the farm but in the inspiring beauty of a simpler life. Our Simple Share is a thoughtful connection to the land wrapped up in beautiful and sometimes unique fruit and vegetables, and handcrafted, small batch goods.
Our simple shares are a weekly peek into the rich process of agriculture, the sustaining core of our daily lives. We decided to make a highly thoughtful and intentional chain of collaborations between our farm, farming friends and small batch farm-based producers that inherently embody the farm life. Together with our farm family, you will not only eat a little healthier but experience valuable, life-changing inspiration and growth through your weekly exposure to life on the farm.

A joint operation between the Australian Defence Force (ADF) and Indonesian Armed Forces to stop illegal fishing and improve regional security concluded on Monday in Darwin.
7th Jun 2017
Australia and Indonesia unite to patrol fisheries
A joint operation between the Australian Defence Force (ADF) and Indonesian Armed Forces to stop illegal fishing and improve regional security concluded on Monday in Darwin.
Coordinated maritime patrol AUSINDO CORPAT 2017 began in Benoa, Bali on 27 May and covered waters between Australia and Indonesia over a 10 day period.
The combined operation targeted the unlawful exploitation of natural resources with a focus on illegal fishing along the shared maritime boundary.
Commander Maritime Border Command, Rear Admiral Peter Laver said the operation had significantly contributed to regional security and enhanced each country's ability to fight illicit activity in their shared maritime domains.
"As neighbours in a dynamic region, Australia and Indonesia's defence relationship is vital. We have a mutual and abiding interest in the security and stability of waters between our countries and the free movement of trade and investment through these domains," Rear Admiral Laver said.
"We recognise the importance of working together to support regional security and to promote a peaceful, prosperous and rules-based regional order."
Exercises were conducted by the two nations' defence forces over five days in the lead up to AUSINDO CORPAT 2017.
Armidale-class patrol boats, HMA Ships Bathurst and Glenelg, and an AP-3C Orion aircraft took part from the ADF. The Indonesian Armed Forces contributed two naval vessels, KRI Hiu and Pandrong, and a maritime patrol aircraft.
This was the seventh iteration of AUSINDO CORPAT.

As happy as I am that we're married, I wish that I could still plan our wedding. I feel like it went by so quickly (as I'm sure many brides do) and I wish I could do it again! I feel like I didn't really get a chance to explain the whole process of planning a wedding even though I posted vlogs about it on my YouTube channel. I feel like I didn't go in depth because sometimes people just don't want to watch long videos. The best part about having a personal blog to me is that I can in fact type forever like this is a diary and people that want to read it, will read it. I feel like I haven't written down every single memory so maybe I'll do that eventually.. I used to write in a diary every night and even though what I've written in my past makes me cringe sometimes, it's nice to know what I've gone through and how I used to feel about things. Maybe that's what I'll do with this as well as share things that I like. Anyway, I love being married and I love my husband 😀
Someone let me plan their wedding?? NO BRIDEZILLAS ALLOWED! ;P

"It doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful" is something Myquillyn Smith, The Nester, says and posts often. It is a reminder I need. After reading her book, The Nesting Place, I understand it to be something she has come to believe, but not without a struggle we may also understand well.
In her book she says, "I can accept the fact that my house and life and body aren't perfect, because I trust there is a greater purpose. I trust that God knows what He's doing, and I don't have to panic and attempt to make sense of it all. I've given up trying to control our circumstances and instead am determined to create a home wherever we are. And that's made all the difference."
I really do not know what I could add to this. I can only let go and nod and declare in agreement. Will you also, no matter what place you are in?
I trust there is a greater purpose. I trust that God knows what He's doing.
