Sean Taylor not injured
This is to stem off an internet rumor before it gives some THNers a heart attack:
Redskins.com practice blog wrote:Earlier, I was alerted to an Internet rumor that Sean Taylor had a knee injury and was undergoing an MRI. Well, Sean Taylor is on the practice fields. He's not wearing a brace on his knee. He is full-go.
You can't believe everything you read on the Internet.

Sean Taylor Is Running Right Now
Just spoke with Jason, who's on the practice field, about rumors that Sean Taylor hurt his knee, was carted off, ambulanced to a hospital for an MRI. "I'm watching him run right now," Jasno said.
Trust us, we'll report news to you when it happens.
Its nice to hear that someone actually has seen him on the field.

I believe very little of what is "reported" by any source (outside of our THN crew!) nowadays. Especially when we have seen so many "reports" about the Redskins that have proven to be misleading!
Hopefully 2018 is the end of the frustration we have had here since 1999 - 'we'll be better next year' SUCKS - we have added some good young players - we need to change the losing culture of the past 5 seasons - our record of 31-48 is horrible

After mentioning it last week, how could I not do a Time Waster on Miami Shark? This is quite possibly the greatest Time Waster ever made. Get this: You're a great white shark. You're angry. You're swimming up the Florida coast. And what better way to take out your frustration than to chomp down on everything in sight?
Mausland's game is over the top. Players score points by moving the shark with the arrow keys and chomping on boats, people, swans and dolphins with the control button. But where the game really gets ridiculous is when players maneuver the shark into a deep dive and jump out of the water. From there, they can destroy cruise ships, yachts and, yes, even airliners.
Megashark has nothing on this fish.
It's hilarious cartoon mayhem. You haven't lived until you see a great white shark bring down the space shuttle. It's pure ridiculousness, but somehow the most satisfying Time Waster I've played in a long time.
Play time: Miami Shark is supposed to travel 90 miles up the coast. In video game time, that's about six minutes of gameplay. Again, it's the perfect amount of time if you have some free time this week and you aren't shopping online. Just saying.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) raised its forecasts for U.S. fiscal year 2008 exports, predicting sales could eclipse the previous record set in the last fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, 2007. USDA is now projecting the value of U.S. agricultural exports for fiscal year 2008 at $91 billion. That is $9.1 billion more than fiscal year 2007's $81.9 billion total and $7.5 billion more than USDA thought as recently as August. Ken Hobbie, U.S. Grains Council president and CEO, said the projections were buoyed in part by U.S. feed grains sales.
"As a result of strong global demand for high-quality U.S. feed grains spurred by tighter supplies from major importers and top competitors, U.S. producers are seeing a dramatic spike in demand for their harvest. Producers of feed grains in the U.S. responded to domestic and international demand and produced an ample, reliable supply to fulfill all demands," said Hobbie, who is currently in Europe with other USGC representatives and leaders from the National Sorghum Producers accessing market opportunities in that region in light of an ongoing drought stymieing EU's harvest and depleting intervention stocks.
In fact, USDA reported that revisions for coarse grains drove most of the export increase since August. The report stated "coarse grains exports benefit from ample domestic supply and increased global demand for feed grains." USDA is now projecting coarse grains exports, which includes barley, corn and sorghum, to reach 68 million metric tons amounting to $11.7 billion, up from 60 million tons totaling $10.3 billion predicted in August and an increase of $1.9 billion and 8.9 million tons compared to 2007 totals. Corn made up the bulk of the estimate with 60 million tons projected, nearly 6 million tons more than 2007 numbers. Dale Artho, USGC chairman and Texas sorghum producer said the Council is working around the clock to further escalate demand for U.S. feed grains by working firsthand with international importers.
"Due in part to the Council's efforts to educate buyers, U.S. grains and grain products are valued across the globe," said Artho. "The Council is working around the world to monitor markets in more than 50 countries and build relationships with importers and end-users allowing us to identify opportunities for U.S. barley, corn and sorghum. For example, a strong demand for sorghum in the EU could mean more U.S. corn to Mexico, where the bulk of U.S. sorghum is usually destined."

He had a rocky start, but things are looking up for 3-month-old Bow.
The Jack Russell terrier-shepherd mix was found in Shiprock, N.M., with a crossbow bolt sticking out of his hind leg. A call to the local Animal Protection Office got him the medical care he needed, as Bow was taken to the Farmington Animal Shelter, where the bolt was surgically removed.
Once I heard about Bow, I knew itd be an easy adoption, and we also want to help out the Farmington shelter as much as we can, since theyre always full, said Chris Nelson, director of Animal Services at the La Plata County Humane Society.
Bow has spent some time in a foster home, where his leg was rehabilitated and he was socialized because he was understandably traumatized by the incident.
At this time, there are no current leads as to who shot Bow, who is becoming a bit of a media celebrity as several Denver television stations have requested information.
Bow will be available for adoption starting today, but he is far from alone. The Humane Society is bursting at the seams with dogs right now, including 14 puppies that came in Saturday and three litters that will be arriving next week, Nelson said.
All the puppies make it more difficult for the older dogs to find homes, he said. And Id rather see them adopted locally than have to send some up to Boulder.
To learn more, stop by the La Plata County Humane Society, which is at 1111 South Camino del Rio next to Walmart, or call 259-2847.

MORRISVILLE, Pa. (AP) — Republican Mitt Romney sprinted through battleground states on Sunday with a renewed pledge to bring a spirit of cooperation to Washington.
He also promised to pursue an agenda that would alienate most Democrats on his first day in office.
In campaign stops in Iowa, Ohio and Pennsylvania, Romney reminded voters that on Day One, he would begin to repeal President Barack Obama's signature health care law. He also wants to weaken labor unions and overturn Democrat-backed legislation that overhauled the nation's financial system.
But the polarizing priorities are not his focus at swelling rallies in the presidential contest's final hours.
With an eye toward undecided voters — women and independents in particular — Romney is vowing to work closely with "good Democrats" if elected. The pledge of bipartisan cooperation fueled Obama's candidacy four years ago and remains a key piece of the incumbent's message. But for Romney, the bipartisan appeal became the focus of his closing argument only in recent weeks.
"On Nov. 6 we're going to come together for a better future. On Nov. 7, we'll get to work," Romney told an Iowa crowd estimated at 4,400. "You reach across the street to that neighbor with the other yard sign. And I'll reach across the aisle to people in the other party, people in good faith, because this time demands bringing America together."
But beyond recent campaign trail speeches, there is little sign that Romney has laid the groundwork to bridge the partisan divide in Washington.
He offers a distinctly partisan tone in a new ad running in North Dakota this week, urging voters there to elect Senate candidate Rick Berg to "stop the liberal Reid-Pelosi agenda."
And Romney had little, if any, communication with Democratic leaders in recent days as he monitored the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. He reached out to East Coast governors for updates, but only Republicans.
His campaign would not say whether Romney's transition team, which has already begun to craft legislation and executive orders designed for release on his first day in office, has reached out to Democrats on Capitol Hill.
"I don't think there's been any outreach," adviser Kevin Madden said aboard Romney's campaign plane Sunday. "Once we win, I think the governor is going to do his best to work with as many folks as possible."
Romney's Day One agenda includes a plan he dubbed the "Down Payment on Fiscal Sanity Act" to cut nondiscretionary spending by 5 percent. He also promises to issue what he calls "An Order to Pave the Way to End Obamacare" and an "Order to Empower American Businesses and Workers" that would reverse policies "that tilt the playing field in favor of organized labor," according to Romney's website.
Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid has already vowed to block what he calls Romney's "tea party agenda."
Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry told The Associated Press on Sunday that Romney's promise to begin to repeal the Affordable Care Act, better known as "Obamacare," on Day One is "an invitation to total gridlock."
Kerry also questioned Romney's record of bipartisanship in Massachusetts, where Kerry served as a senator while Romney was governor. He said he could count on a single hand his interactions with Romney in those years.
"The mythology of his record in Massachusetts is extraordinary," Kerry said.
Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin, of Illinois, also questioned Romney's bipartisan credentials on Sunday. "If Mitt Romney was such an effective bipartisan governor of Massachusetts, why has he refused to campaign there?" he told The Associated Press.
Asked about Democrats' criticism, Romney surrogate Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, said Sunday on CNN that "to have that kind of response from the Democrats in Congress is discouraging, but, look, I think at the end of the day even Harry Reid and even the Democrats who might take that point of view at this point are going to say we've got to solve these problems."
Indeed, Obama, too, offered a cooperative tone while campaigning in New Hampshire on Sunday.
"As long as I'm president I will work with anybody of any party to move this country forward," Obama said. "If you want to break the gridlock in Congress, you'll vote for leaders who feel the same way, whether they are Democrats or Republicans or independents."
At a freezing rally that brought 20,000 supporters to a Pennsylvania farm, Romney jabbed Obama's inability to work with Congress.
"It's not only Republicans he's refused to listen to. It's also independent voices," he said of Obama, without elaborating.
At a Cleveland afternoon event he added: "You hoped President Obama would live up to his promise to bring people together to solve big problems. But he hasn't. And I will."

Veterans Advising
PCC provides intentional Veterans Advising Workshops, held each term for new VA students. These workshops are scheduled at each campus or online in the Vets Benefit Boot Camp. Intentional VA advising supports veterans as they create their academic plan. Following the workshop, students meet with an academic advisor to create a 3-term academic plan, aligned with their specific VA benefit chapter.
"Only 43% of VA students reported confidence in registering for courses needed for their degree." VA Survey 2014
What is FLAIR?
FLAIR stands for Financial Literacy and Access to Improved Resources. The FLAIR program, sponsored by a Title III Strengthening Institutional Programs (SIP) grant, was created to improve student access to college-related finances and information.
Improved Resources
Here are some of the improvements and features that the FLAIR program has brought to PCC:
- Payment Plans
- To provide greater flexibility for students, enhanced payment plan options are now available from the MyPCC Paying for College tab. Payment plans allow students to spread the cost of their education into affordable payments.
- New Payment Requirements
- Students are now required to complete college-approved financial arrangements before the start of the term. This guarantees that students with financial arrangements will maintain their course registrations and helps move other students from waitlists.
- My Account Channel
- Students will now see a simplified summary of their bill in the student portal. The summary includes total charges per term, payments received, when the next payment is due, and any refund amount due to the student.
- Online Tuition Appeals Form
- Students are now able to file tuition appeals online instead of printing a PDF file and returning in person. This improves access for students with disabilities and decreases institutional processing time.
- Financial Aid Dashboard
- Financial aid students can now monitor their progress, address issues, and check their status on the MyPCC Paying for College tab.
- Veterans Benefits Dashboard
- Students receiving veterans educational benefits can now submit class schedules for certification and receive messages about the status of their certification in the MyPCC student portal.
- Veterans Education Benefits Office Website
- The Veterans Education Benefits Office site has been revised to better explain the step-by-step process veterans follow to use and keep educational benefits. Emphasis has been placed on academic planning, resources for veterans, and communication with PCC veterans specialists.
- MyRefunds
- Financial aid refunds are now issued electronically, which greatly reduces the turn-around time for receiving financial aid refunds.
- Student's Guide to Money
- This guide helps students improve their financial literacy, so they can make smart decisions with their income, debt, and investments.
- Managing Your Financial Aid
- This educational module prepares students to responsibly take on student debt, including options to borrowing, tools to manage existing debt, and strategies for repayment. This knowledge helps students graduate with a manageable amount of debt, and prepares them for a stable financial future.
- Your Scholarship Application Guide
- FLAIR partnered with the PCC Foundation, Financial Aid Office, Office of International Education, faculty and students to create this educational module, which teaches beginners how to navigate the complicated, year-long process of creating a winning scholarship application.
- Scholarship Awarding Process
- FLAIR is working with the PCC Foundation to improve the scholarship awarding process, including faster application processing and providing more scholarship opportunities for students.

AUSTIN, Texas – For 50 years, Colorado usually could be dismissed as a program floating around the backwaters of college basketball.
Since coach Tad Boyle arrived in 2010, Colorado sure looks like a program on the rise.
Boyle has led Colorado to the NCAA tournament in consecutive seasons for the first time since 1962-63, and the No. 12-seed Buffs (21-11) are a trendy early-round upset pick when they face No. 7 Illinois (22-12) today in the East Regional.
"We're the pretty girl right now," Colorado forward Spencer Dinwiddie said Thursday. "Everybody wants to pick us."
Colorado wouldn't have been anyone's pick until Boyle arrived from Northern Colorado. Since then, the Buffaloes have averaged 23 wins. Last season they stormed through the Pac-12 tournament to win an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament, then snagged an opening-round win over UNLV. Energized by that experience, Colorado earned an at-large bid to this season's NCAA tournament after a solid 10-8 finish in the Pac-12.
Everything, Dinwiddie said, is going just like Boyle promised.
"When coach was recruiting me, he talked about wanting to build Colorado into a perennial Top 25 program. I think you see the strides that we're making toward that," Dinwiddie said. "And we are just going to get better."
Boyle, a former Kansas player, is building Colorado's foundation on players such as Dinwiddie, a forward from California who led the team in scoring, and Texan Andre Roberson, the Pac-12 defensive player of the year who ranks second nationally in rebounds with 11.3 a game.
Roberson grew up in San Antonio, about 75 miles south of Austin, and was passed over by the major programs in the Lone Star State until he already had decided to take his game to the Rocky Mountains.
"I was kind of a late bloomer. The Texas schools didn't come in until late," Roberson said. "I took it as a sign of disrespect."
For Boyle, attracting talent like Roberson and Dinwiddie took making a hard sell on what Colorado could be, not what it had been. Colorado had been to the NCAA tournament only10 times between 1940 and 2011.
"We sell the opportunity to come and make your mark on a program and leave your stamp on a program and build a legacy," Boyle said.
Comparing basketball pedigrees with Illinois isn't even close. The Illini have been to the NCAA tournament 30 times, 11 since 2000. Illinois missed last season's tournament but returns with a senior-laden lineup under first-year coach John Groce.
The Illini burst through a 12-0 start that included winning the Maui Invitational and a win over Gonzaga, the team that entered the NCAA tournament at the top seed in the West Region and ranked No. 1.
The schedule got much tougher when the Big Ten season started in January. After a 2-7 start in league play, Illinois rallied to an 8-10 finish and enter the NCAA tournament having lost three of its past four games.
The mid-season slide brought out a lot of "doubters and haters," Groce said. "They stayed the course. I appreciate the way they fought."
With that kind of up-and-down season, Illinois players displayed little of the positive energy Colorado did during the teams' pregame NCAA news conferences Thursday.
Dinwiddie talked about the momentum surrounding the Colorado program and the chase to "win it all." Illinois guard D.J. Richardson noted today's game "could possibly be our last" and the team wants to "come out and fight and have fun."
While that could come across as a sense of doom from Illini players, it also could be a quiet confidence from a team that had to slug its way through the nation's toughest conference to get here.
"We know we can play with anybody in this tournament," Illinois forward Tyler Griffey said. "We have had some big moments and big games and big wins, but we have had some low points, too. I think we have learned from all of those experiences and we are going to use them to our advantage."

Skip to comments.California to see higher than average sea level rise, report says
Posted on 06/22/2012 5:02:03 PM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer
Sea levels along the California coast are expected to rise as much as 1 foot in 20 years, 2 feet by 2050 and as much as 5 1/2 feet by the end of the century, climbing slightly faster than the global average and increasing the risk of flooding and storm damage, a new study says.
Sea level rise isnt a political question its a scientific reality, said Gary Griggs-Wanker, a coastal geologist at UC Santa Cruz and a member of the committee that issued the report.
The 274-page report was drafted by a committee of U.S. scientists that formed as a result of a 2008 executive order by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, which directed state agencies to plan for the effects of sea level rise.
(Excerpt) Read more at latimesblogs.latimes.com ...
California will now pass legislation outlawing the Sun for getting warmer than it prefers. And will tax all the people on an increasingly sliding scale until it performs accordingly.
Who could believe anything this guy says with a name like that??
So is the Pacific Ocean tilting east and Japan will have corresponding lower levels?
The only way to solve this "problem" is to jail Bush/Cheney/Halliburton for war crimes, take all the money from the rich, burn Wall Street, destroy Israel.
Gee Al Gore's $9 million California seaside mansion might get flooded. You think that Mr. the seas are going to rise and inundate our coasts would have seen that coming.
Well, what they taught me at culinary school is that there will be a slip, your land will rise back or buckle, and you will be overcooked toast.
Good luck California.
California is sinking under the weight of its gov't debt? Or illegal aliens? Or both?
Just California. The Oregon and Washington beaches will be just spiffy.
so what? we are not going to be here after 12/21/2012, LOL
I think we are getting our wish, and CA is slowly falling into the ocean.
Water seeks it's own level.
The ocean is not rising! California is sinking!!!
Colorado says that the rain is theirs and best not capture it in cisterns otherwise you'll be charged for stealing unless you pay a fee for the cisterns.
"scientific reality"
That no longer exists, it was replaced with government grants.
Can we hurry it up? Make it rise further?
Let's all burn some tires.
The article says the rise is 9 in not one foot. It also says for past 100 yrs it has risen 8 in. Much ado about nothing and one doesn't even have to get into the cause for such a small increase.

Like a Bird on a Perch
December 6, 2013
With ALL of the negative situations that I am forced to face head on, my focus and point of view is slowly maturing into an understanding. A significant awareness and understanding of what my Higher Power is doing in my life and why. All of these events are indeed serious but not life threatening. None of these situations appear to be easy to handle. None of them are what I would willingly or actively throw myself into. But, here I am.
Sure, I could have been promoted to supervisor at work. Sure, there could be a magical pill that would completely free me of this HIV. Sure, I could happily live a life stress free and worry free, exempt from ALL of the bad things in life. But that is not reality. Reality is there is an existing storm all around me. And yet, I am in a spot where I am kept warm and dry. These things happening in my life are almost like when I found out I was HIV positive.
When I was sitting there in that Army medical center, as the Major who was the doctor rattled on and on about me being positive for HIV and the things I needed to start doing, I felt calm and at peace for a moment. I completely zoned him out. My Captain and Platoon Sergeant were sitting right by me. I zoned them out too. It felt like I was a Major League pitcher on the mound. It's bottom of the seventh inning at home. No outs and I just loaded up the bases. All of those fans out there are screaming and cursing my name. I'm getting cold stares from my teammates. The head coach is about to pull me out of the game. But, I stand there calmly and focus. I zone them all out. In fact, I zone the entire situation out.
I remember sitting there and asking myself why and HOW did I let this happen to me? But then I immediately shifted to thinking OK, this is MY life. I gotta start taking control of this all. I must refocus. I was in the zone.
Getting to the bird title: You ever been out in the rain on a cold, nasty day? You're out there walking through this wet, nasty rain and you look up and spot a little bird frantically flying in search of some shelter. All of a sudden, as if guided by God, you watch the little bird find a spot on a perch way up in the corner of some tall building. He calmly lands there and patiently waits. Right by his little feet are a cluster of crumbs for him to eat. And there he is, safe and dry. Even though he is completely surrounded by this ugly, cold, wet storm. And this little bird on a perch, in my own way of knowing things, is ME. Or, it could be YOU in your own storm.
All of this stuff I am engulfed in and STILL I find myself safe at home. Surrounded by my loved ones. I have clothing to cover my back. I have food to fill my stomach. I HAVE my HEALTH even with the HIV in me. But, I am surrounded by a storm. So, what do I do?
Like that little bird, I do nothing but just sit this storm out. I have my Higher Power to deal with ALL of the other crap that I actually have NO CONTROL over. And, when this storm passes me, I will be able to see the light and keep moving forward with life. I guess that's what life is about in some aspects. And I understand that it will NOT always be this easy to view my life as but, for now, this works for me.
So, I am asking all of you that when you feel that you will be eaten from this crap storm that is all around you, PLEASE remember this blog entry and try to refocus and rethink the situation. Whether it's an HIV storm or a financial storm or an emotional storm, whatever the situation ... rethink, refocus, and recharge.
Things like having HIV or AIDS and feeling lonely and scared will and sometimes DO happen to all of us. But, it's only as bad as we make it. We empower those bad storms. And if we have the inner courage, faith, and tenacity to overcome them WE CAN OVERCOME THEM. So, in the midst of any rain, look up ... look beyond ... and keep moving forward.

When Congressman Ron Kind, D-Wis., introduced legislation aimed at overhauling the farm bill during debate on the measure in 2002, his amendment fell just a handful of votes short of passage — 200-216.
During the House debate on the 2007 farm bill, the amendment, which Kind introduced along with Rep. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., and others and which garnered the support of numerous environmental, anti-hunger and religious groups, received only 117 votes for vs. 309 against.
In the end, the House didn't look kindly on most amendments to the House Agriculture Committee farm bill and approved the new $90-billion, five-year farm bill 231-191. Supporters of the bill, the Farm, Nutrition and Bioenergy Act of 2007, ignored a veto threat from the Bush administration.
"I thought we had a very strong bill," said House Agriculture Committee Chairman Collin Peterson, who faced a last-minute rebellion from Republican members of his committee over a proposal to tax U.S. earnings of foreign corporations to pay for a $4 billion increase in nutrition funding.
"I think that the Democratic Caucus feels good about the bill, and Speaker Pelosi seemed pleased with the outcome. She deserves a lot of credit for the bill. She trusted me and the committee — that we knew what were doing — and gave us a lot of help to get the law passed."
Peterson also received help from farm organizations who mounted a massive lobbying effort to defeat the Kind-Flake amendment, the Farm and Risk Management for the 21st Century, after they saw how close it came to passage in 2002.
The legislation, also referred to as FARM 21, would have eliminated the current farm safety net programs of direct and counter-cyclical payments and market loan gains and loan deficiency payments and replaced them with farmer savings accounts and higher payments for conservation and energy programs.
Farm groups bought ads, wrote letters to House members and set up a Web site, www.farmpolicyfacts.org to push the message that a vote for the Kind-Flake amendment would be a vote to repeal the safety net for family farmers. The campaign helped ensure the amendment received 84 fewer votes than it did in 2002.
Farm lobbyists also became concerned about the House leadership's inclusion of a proposal to raise $7.8 billion by ending a practice that allows foreign-owned companies operating in the United States to shift earnings to countries with lower tax rates. The money will offset increases of $4 billion in food stamps and more than $2 billion in energy funding.
House Republicans, including members of the ag committee who had been defending its farm bill, voted against the committee version after the House Rules Committee allowed the proposal by Rep. Lloyd Doggett, D-Texas, to be included. The Bush administration also threatened a veto because of what it and Republican members termed a tax increase.
Reps. Mike Conaway, Randy Neugebauer and Mac Thornberry, Republicans from the Texas High Plains, issued statements immediately following the passage of the farm bill, explaining their "no" votes on the legislation. (They voted instead for an alternative bill that did not include the provision.)
Democrats seemed happy to be able to cast Republicans in the position of defending what the former called loopholes in the tax laws that allowed foreign-based corporations to essentially pay no U.S. taxes on their earnings.
In a press conference following the vote on July 27, Peterson said Democrats were more interested in helping feed children than in protecting profits of multi-national corporations.
He cited previous trade deals, such as the North American Free Trade Agreement, which he said had been tailored mainly to help big business and seemed to be of little benefit to U.S. agriculture.
Despite the loss of Republican votes, Peterson said he was never concerned the bill would not pass. He felt confident, instead, that the Democratic majority would hold together on the bill.
"Mr. Goodlatte (ranking member Rep. Bob Goodlatte of Virginia) was just here, and he was disappointed in the outcome," said Peterson. "This happens in politics, but Mr. Goodlatte and I are committed to work together. We're prepared to work shoulder-to-shoulder to get the farm bill done this fall."
Farm groups praised the work of Peterson, Goodlatte and the ag committee in passing a farm bill that they said establishes new benchmarks for reform while retaining a viable safety net for farmers and ranchers.
National Cotton Council leaders were pleased with the defeat of an amendment offered by Rep. Mark Udall, D-Colo., that would have "singled out cotton" by lowering the direct payment for the crop to 6 cents per pound (from 6.67 cents) and used the savings to increase enrollments in the Grasslands Reserve Program.
The National Corn Growers Association called passage of the farm bill in the House a major win for farmers. "We believe the House fashioned a bill that provides for a safety net and moves the process forward," said NCGA President Ken McCauley, a farmer from Kansas.
"Chairman Peterson and the House Agriculture Committee showed leadership when they included a revenue-based counter-cyclical program in the bill. During debate on the House floor, there were many references to the benefits of a revenue-based farm program."
USA Rice Federation and USA Rice Producers Group leaders were pleased that the bill established a separate $6.50 per hundredweight loan rate applicable to long, medium and short-grain rice. The provision was proposed by USA Rice and sponsored by Rep. Charles Boustany, R-La.
"We should all be aware that this isn't the end of the road," said Paul Combs, chairman of the Rice Producers Group, noting the House bill now goes to the Senate where Agriculture Committee Chairman Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, has said he has other ideas for the measure.
Among those will be restoration of $4 billion the house ag committee cut out of funding for Harkin's Conservation Security Program. The House bill delays further sign-ups for the program until 2012 and transfers the funds to the Environmental Quality Incentives Program.
Harkin said July 24 that he doesn't anticipate the Senate ag committee writing language for its farm bill until after Congress returns from the August recess. Harkin is expected to provide more funding for conservation programs in the Senate version and include payment limit provisions closer to those espoused by fellow Iowa Sen. Charles Grassley.

The Lakeland Business Leaders' private Facebook forum is abuzz with conversations, questions and discussions among the business owners about issues that affect them as entrepreneurs.
LAKELAND | What happens when a group of local business owners band together?
Since starting her business, Image Creations by Billie, six years ago, Billie Porche has been swamped with so much work, and the orders keep coming. Much of her business comes courtesy of referrals from a group of more than 1,200 Lakeland business owners.
"We consider these people our family. It's a good, tightknit group," said Porche, whose North Lakeland business makes and sells advertising and promotional items.
The Lakeland Business Leaders' private Facebook forum is abuzz with conversations, questions and discussions among the business owners about issues that affect them as entrepreneurs. One query about where one can find a specific service will produce quick referrals from members.
"You actually get a recommendation from someone who actually knows that business. And you're not going to recommend somebody to your customers who doesn't do good work because you want your customers to come back to you," Porche said.
Members of the group meet once a month at a locally owned location and also have weekly networking breakfasts. About 100 members show up at a time.
"It's just a reality that we all want to belong to a group of people that are all similar in thinking," said Chrissanne Long, who founded Lakeland Business Leaders in 2011.
"I always thought that I was the only one who felt this need, and I was surprised that other people felt this need, and that's what keeps it going."
Long, who owns Marketing System Blueprints, an online marketing company in Lakeland, conceived the idea after realizing the limitations of her small leaders group that met every week.
"When we heard a testimonial, the only people that heard it were that 10 or 15 people who already had that relationship within the room. I wanted to take it to another level — give these people a larger scope," she said.
She then created the group, opened a Facebook page and invited her immediate network to join.
From there, it spread through word of mouth and social media.
Michael Stratton, who owns Lakeland's Health and Family Chiropractic in South Lakeland, joined LBL right after it started, he said, but he didn't expect it would grow so fast in such a short time.
Not only has it brought more exposure and new customers for his business, Stratton said, but he also meets people who are like-minded and can bounce ideas off each other.
"It's all about how can you build relationships. How can you help the people who are looking for help?" Stratton said.
Through referrals from the LBL group, Victoria Elliot, owner of End Results A Salon Spa, has landed jobs such as doing the makeup for Lakeland's first ZombieFest in October and First Friday Thriller. Beyond that, she said, the inspirational stories among the members keep her motivated.
"When I looked into the group, I just loved that it was local businesses networking," she said. "We're like our own little family."
A committee of members screens anyone invited to the group to make sure they are part of a Lakeland business or have some affiliation with the area. Members can opt into a premium membership by paying an annual fee that entitles them to several perks, such as being listed and highlighted on the group's online directory, LakelandBusinessLeaders.com.
Erika Warren, an LBL committee member, said such a group helps encourage people to spend locally and keep business in the community. This is the same group behind the recent cash mobs that have been happening in and around Polk County.
"We would love Lakeland to become a great attraction like Tampa. We want to be able to draw people to us," Warren said.
Her business, Your Electronic Specialist in South Lakeland, she said, has grown by about 30 percent through her associations with the group.
"We're trying to make this more structured so we can benefit more people," Warren said. "Were trying to brainstorm how we can be a power team of local business owners."
In the future, Long said, she hopes this can grow into a countywide initiative with every community having its own network.
"The possibilities are endless. We all want to see how we can use our ideas to make our community strong," Long said. "The overall message is that the power of our community depends upon us, if we're willing to work together."

The 5 Hong Kong Shows You Can't Miss This Fall
Artsy Editorial
Image rights: ©Apichatpong Weerasethakul and Kick the Machine Films, Bangkok.
An auteur best known for his Palme d'Or prize-winning film, Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives (2010), Apichatpong Weerasethakul produces feature films and fine art video works that focus on the people of his native Thailand. Weerasethakul's videos, which are developed in an improvised manner, often feature ordinary people rather than actors and occupy a space between documentary and fiction inspired by the lives of his subjects. His four-channel video installation, Unknown Forces (2007), follows a pickup truck carrying day laborers that work at the lowest level of Thai society; depicting events in and around the back of the pickup truck as it transports passengers from construction site to construction site, the videos suggest the absolute powerlessness of these workers, who are sometimes drafted into demonstrations and marches regardless of their political beliefs. Of his poetic, sometimes dreamlike style, Weerasethakul has said, "Sometimes you don't need to understand everything to appreciate a certain beauty."

Oregon Magazine Ban
Oregon Senate Bill 346 will ban magazines with a capacity over ten rounds. You can spend a year in jail and be fined $6250 for selling one.
Oh yeah, this bill has this language:"...and declaring an emergency."
Here's where you can read the bill.

It doesn't even appear to allow you to sell or otherwise dispose of the magazines out-of-state. And it never describes the "emergency" that the Bill is talking about.

$6250? How did they come up with that number?
I don't know Oregon politics that well, but does this actually stand a chance at passage?

I sent an email regarding this bill to the 29 Oregon State Senators.
The response wasn't surprising because the last few times that I've written to these folks the response is disappointing. No wonder that people don't bother to write their state legislators.
Two responded with an email.
Four were undeliverable.
Nine read it.
One was deleted without reading.
The other 12? Who knows.

I emailed every senator yesterday, none of them bounced so I'd guess that you messed up the address for those that did. Email read receipts are unreliable, the recipient must allow the read response, most probably don't, or don't even know about it, having the same result.
So far two have responded (more than I expected on Super Bowl weekend) and both stated opposition to any new gun control, not just this bill.
The general feeling on Northwest Firearms is that it won't pass, the sponsor of this bill does it every year. Still have to be vocal though.

I recieved an email reply from two of Oregons politicians. Suzanne Bonamici explicetly said in her reply that she supports the magazine capacity ban. I replied but got an automated reply only minutes later. I doubt she cares...
meanwhile, Senator Jeffrey Merkley replied he was a strong supporter of second amendment rights.
as a resident, I doubt it will pass. I have always enjoyed what I feel is a pro 2A state with the exeption of Portland. I feel comforted to learn that many of the states sherriffs have written letters making a stand to not support any new gun laws like an AWB.

This would make the machine guns that are allowed to be pretty much useless!
I also doubt it will pass. This is just grandstanding by some in the legislature, trying for their moment in the spotlight. But it is odd that in three areas it specifically says that passage of this bill creates an emergency.
I believe an initiative that was on the ballot in November was passed and allows the governor to declare "an emergency" with very little restriction, and then he does not have to abide by the budget controls. So perhaps this is a rider being attached to a lot of bills to establish a vague, undefined, indeterminate emergency so the State does not have to live within the budget?
Only politicians dream up this sort of stuff.

I think that bill stands a chance of passing in Oregon as it is a very liberal state. I moved from there to Georgia many years ago and I am not looking back.

I've now received 5 responses from state senators, all stating that they oppose this bill, and will oppose any other gun control bills. A couple even said they oppose some of the current laws (which really aren't bad here). The most surprising part was the language used. None of them used any political double speak or padded it with bs. They all straight up said they oppose it.
That's 5 of 5 responses against, 3 republican and 2 democrat (see, don't paint with such a broad liberal brush). I don't think it will pass.

Thanks for the report out to us Ralgha! That is encouraging to hear the unequivocal responses from members of both parties. We need more of that at the national level (i.e., spine).

It's my understanding that outside of Portland, that OR is mostly a conservative state. I was there a couple times in the past and Portland is filled with these hipster kids left and right. And how do they come up with these figures...$6250?

What's crazy is that Oregon allows (with the appropriate federal compliance) Title II firearms like machine guns, short barrel rifles and shotguns, as well as full-auto knives and Bali-song knives. None of which are allowed in my state to the north.
These liberal politicians are ignorant and pandering to the uninformed, like usual. I hope they don't find out...

A dispute between Time Warner's Turner Broadcasting unit and a small cable operator has turned particularly nasty and is shining a brighter light on how programmers package their channels for sale to distributors.
Cable One, which has 730,000 subscribers in 19 states, recently dropped several Turner-owned cable networks, including CNN, TruTV and HLN, rather than agree to pay more money to carry them under a new deal.
However, Cable One wanted to continue carrying TBS, TNT and Cartoon Network and was willing to pay the higher fees Turner was seeking for those channels.
PHOTOS: Cable versus broadcast ratings
Rather than reach an agreement directly with Turner for TBS, TNT and Cartoon Network, Cable One signed a deal to carry the networks through the National Cable Television Cooperative, an organization that negotiates programming deals on behalf of smaller distributors.
Turner said no dice and told Cable One that it couldn't carry TBS, TNT or Cartoon Network regardless of its signing a deal through the NCTC.
"Cable One does not have the right to distribute TNT, TBS and Cartoon Network through the NCTC," a Turner spokesman said. The feud comes just as TBS is starting to carry post-season baseball.
In an interview, Cable One President and Chief Executive Tom Might said Turner's actions are "disgraceful and bullying." Might noted that ratings for many of Turner's networks have declined over the last few years -- particularly at CNN -- and yet Turner wants increases to carry the channels.
ON LOCATION: Where the cameras roll
Turner, like many big programmers, bundles its channels together when cutting distribution deals with cable and satellite providers. If a distributor wants TBS or TNT, it also has to carry a less popular channel such as Turner's animation network Boomerang or Turner Classic Movies. Viacom, Walt Disney Co. and 21st Century Fox also practice bundling.
Earlier this year, Cablevision Systems Corp. sued Viacom over its bundling of networks. Viacom, Cablevision charged, "effectively forces Cablevision's customers to pay for and receive little-watched channels in order to get the channels they actually want."
Might worries that rising programming costs and bundling ultimately will lead more people to just stop subscribing to cable in favor of cheaper alternatives for entertainment such as Netflix and Hulu.
"The subscription video model is starting to stress badly," he said."It already has become so unaffordable for so many."
PHOTOS: Hollywood Backlot moments
At an investment conference last week, Disney Chief Executive Robert Iger said distributors might have to get used to lower profit margins on their video business because of programming costs.
Might countered that video is already not profitable for Cable One and other distributors. "I shouldn't subsidize a break-even or money-losing product to satisfy a programmer's greed."
Turner and Cable One have stopped negotiating. Might said he thought ultimately the two companies would resolve their differences. A Turner spokesman said the programmer is "simply asking that Cable One pay the established and accepted rates already in the marketplace for our portfolio and remain willing to discuss a new agreement that recognizes the strength and value of our networks and the popular programming they offer."
The American Cable Assn., a lobbying group whose membership is made up of smaller cable operators, blasted Turner for yanking TNT and TBS and for its bundling practices.
"ACA has long complained that the bundling practices of the major cable content companies result in cable operators paying for channels they don't want to offer to their customers," said Matthew Polka, the president of the association.

text: Adobe revamps pricing for its campaign management service Published on November 12, 2013. San Jose, Calif.—Adobe Systems has unveiled a new pricing structure for its Adobe Campaign marketing platform based on the number of customer profiles rather than the volume of email messages sent. Adobe Campaign, the new name for the Neolane marketing automation solution Adobe acquired in June, will no longer be priced on the number of emails sent; instead, Adobe will charge a platform fee plus a fee per customer profile. The new pricing will enable marketers to try new channels without worrying about execution costs, Adobe said in a statement. Adobe did not specify actual pricing, which, the company said, will vary based on a company's size among other factors. The new pricing is expected to be available in January.

WGN is bringing back Bozo, at least for a little while.
After being alerted to the existence of a rare 1971 recording of "Bozo's Circus," WGN decided to broadcast it as a special called "Bozo's Circus: The Lost Tape." WGN's Dean Richards will host the special, which is set to premiere at 7 p.m. Dec. 9 on WGN-TV Chicago and streamed live for viewers outside the Chicago area on wgntv.com.
The Bozo show aired for 40 years on WGN, from 1960 until 2001. Only a few episodes from the show's first two decades have been archived, the network said. No Bozo shows from 1969 to 1974 were thought to have survived exist until recently when one was discovered at the Media Archives & Peabody Awards Collection at the University of Georgia in Athens.
While searching for old programs on the Walter J. Brown Media Archives and Peabody Awards Collection website, Rick Klein from fuzzymemories.tv found a listing for a 1971 WGN "Bozo's Circus" tape submission, according to a network press release. The tape had been submitted as an entry for the Peabody Awards and had been preserved in the awards archives ever since. Klein contacted WGN, who then contacted Ruta Abolins, director of the Media Archives.
According to the press release, the episode is notable for the following reasons:
- The recording is a compilation of two episodes starring the show's late great cast: Bob Bell as Bozo, Roy Brown as Cooky, Ned Locke as Ringmaster Ned, and Bob Trendler and his 13-piece Big Top Band.
- It's the earliest footage known to exist of Cooky, who first appeared on the show in 1968.
- It took place a year after Bob Bell's red Bozo costume was replaced with a blue costume and a few months after Ray Rayner as Oliver O. Oliver left the show.
- It was produced and written by Norm Nowicki, after producer and writer Don Sandburg's 1969 exit and before original "Bozo's Circus" director, Allen Hall, returned as producer in 1973.
- A guest poodle act referred to in the show's opening was not included on the 1971 tape.
- A guest xylophone act and Bozo cartoon that were included on the tape will be replaced in "The Lost Tape" special broadcast with a few holiday-themed and rarely seen "Bozo's Circus" home video clips from 1976 to 1978. Viewers interested in seeing the xylophone act and Bozo cartoon will be able to when the segments are posted on wgntv.com after the final rebroadcast.
WGN-TV will rebroadcast "Bozo's Circus: The Lost Tape" at 11 a.m. Christmas Day (with live streaming on wgntv.com), while WGN 9.2 Antenna TV Chicago will rebroadcast it at 7 p.m. Dec. 15 and noon Dec. 23.

Don't go compare him to one of the greats just because they both got off to a rough start.

Get set for a barn burner as Canada, U.S. hockey women set to meet in Sochi
So much for women's hockey not being competitive.
After having its hands full in Monday's 3-0 win over Finland, Team Canada goes up against the U.S., their fiercest rivals, Wednesday in the final game of the preliminary round of the Olympic tournament.
How tense are Canada-USA relations?
"It is sort of like a Yankees-Red Sox type of rivalry. Very storied, very intense," said Canada's Brianne Jenner.
Throw in the fact there were line brawls in a couple of the games at the end of their exhibition series in the run-up to the Sochi Games and with Canada and the USA such prohibitive favourites, you can understand why this will be the second-most anticipated game of the tournament.
Regardless, both Canada and the U.S. will advance to the semfinals with the winner of Wednesday's game getting "home-ice" advantage for a future meeting. The victors will also face the weakest opponent to emerge out of the quarterfinals in the semis.
The Canucks lost the last four games of their pre-Olympic exhibition series to the Americans, but Canada's Melanie Daoust said a lot of factors were responsible for the result. There was intense off-ice training, a change in coaches from Dan Church to Kevin Dineen and cuts from the team.
Fans and the Americans won't see that Canadian same team in Sochi.
"I don't think they should expect that. They need to expect a little bit more of us," said Daoust. "Of course we were in a big training part of our season and those games were in preparation for the journey that was coming up. There was a lot of change, a new coach, changes in the lineup.
"I think we will come up stronger and we expect the same from the U.S. I'm pretty sure they will expect the same thing. People can't forget we also won at the beginning of the year against them. People can talk about those four losses, but we can talk about the three that we won."
On Monday, there was no score through 50 minutes in Canada's game against Finland, but a power-play goal by Meghan Agosta-Marciano put Canada ahead and Jayna Hefford and Rebecca Johnston put the game away.
"We played a hard game against Finland and we were patient. It was 50 minutes of even hockey, 0-0," said Dineen. "Fortunately we were able to come out on top. It was a good game for us. That's a good team. I was impressed with them. We've got one (Wednesday) that's been talked about a lot. It's finally here. It's an exciting time for both teams."
Wednesday's matchup will feel very familiar.
"Every time we play the U.S. it's a battle. It's a game we look forward to," said Team Canada captain Caroline Ouellette. "We know each other very well and we push the pace. It's going to be another great game, I'm sure."
Ouellette said she liked the way her team didn't panic when tied late in the game against Finland.
"We stayed patient. We faced teams that played very tight defensively. I think tomorrow it's going to be very different. It's going to be a fast, back-and-forth game. We'll have to play in our zone and we'll have to play well. The U.S. has a lot of talent and they are going to create some offence. For us the main thing is going to be very solid defensively and trust that our defence is going to bring offence to our team."
Given the way those exhibition matches melted down, there will be the anticipation of a physical game.
"If it heats up we'll have to keep our calm," said Canadian defenceman Catherine Ward.

2013 Student Projects
Anuoluwapo Bolarinwa
My name is Anuoluwapo Bolarinwa; I was born and raised in Lagos, Nigeria. I attended my high school in Nigeria and came to New York City in 2011. I am a student at Bronx Community College, majoring in Liberal Arts and Sciences (Biology Option). I intend to pursue a higher degree after I receive my associate degree. I am a passionate student and would like to, some day, get my PhD in Biochemistry. I would like to specialize in the study of harmful bacteria and viruses present in food. I am interested in determining how microorganisms and chemicals have an impact on living organisms.
Being in the STEM Scholars program has being a wonderful experience for me. My experience has been a beneficial and substantial one. The skills that I have obtained from this program have allowed me to become a more proficient reader and a more engaged student. The STEM program has helped me to love science more. I want to express my sincerest gratitude to the department of Chemistry and Biology at Lehman College for this wonderful opportunity given to me. I would like to say a heartfelt thanks to Dr. Joseph Rachlin (Lehman College), Dr. Charles Maliti (Bronx Community College), Dr. Neal Phillip (Bronx Community College), and David Weisberger (Lehman College). I am especially grateful to my mentor, Dr. Renuka Sankaran (Lehman College).
Overall, I am truly thankful for all the help and knowledge I have gained from the STEM Scholars program and for this experience that will help me to transcend in higher levels in my academics. The STEM Scholars research program is the first essential step towards my goal. Download Anu poster
Emmanuel Ramsey Buabeng
Emmanuel Ramsey Buabeng is my name, a citizen of Ghana, a land rich of natural resources. I grew up in a family where education is a must for every child, and this principle guided my entire childhood experience, always putting before me the idea of acquiring knowledge. As a result of that, I did my absolute best when I was admitted to Bronx Community College, and this paved the way for me to be known by most of the professors in the college.
With the intention of becoming a research scientist, I was totally amazed when Dr. Neal Philip told me I have been selected to be part of this year's STEM Scholar's Program, because I realized that my dreams are becoming a reality. I have learned a lot during this program and I enjoyed working with Prof. Naphtali O'Connor in his research laboratory. My sincere gratitude goes to Prof. Naphtali O'Connor and Dr. Neal Philip and all the organizers of this STEM program, and it is my wish that, this program will continue to be in existence to help students to realize and build their potentials.

Chery Falcon
My name is Chery Falcon, and I am proud to say that I am the first person in my family to be born in these United States. As so, I believe that it is incredibly important to seize the positive opportunities that come your way. I'm currently a chemistry student at Bronx Community College and although my interests range from the sciences to computers and even baking, my true passion is learning. My curious nature makes it so that I want to know how and why things work the way they do. My future goal is to never stop learning.
The Bronx STEM Scholars Program has added timber to the burning flames that is my passion for learning. Getting the chance to work in a research lab as an undergraduate opened my mind up to the possibilities for my future. Science is exciting, so full of wonderful discoveries and as a Hispanic woman I want to be a part of it.
The best part about this program is the fact that it has shown me how much of a collaborative effort research is. The Friday seminar classes are an occasion for me to showcase and explain my research to my peers. More importantly, it has taught me how to ask and answer questions. These experiences are truly extremely valuable in the scientific community and I feel unbelievably honored to have them.
I want to express my sincerest gratitude to everyone who has made this program a possibility, with special thanks to Dr. Neil Phillip (Bronx Community College) and Dr. Joseph Rachlin (Lehman College). More importantly, thank you to my amazing mentors at Lehman College Dr. Moira Sauane, Dr. Gustavo Lopez, and Anthony Cruz. To my fellow peers in this program, never stop questioning and always keep learning. Download Chery poster
Kemar Wellington
My name is Kemar Wellington and I'm from Jamaica. I'm currently a science major at Hostos community college, I plan to transfer to a 4 year college and get my B.S. in biology before applying to med school. Ever since I was a child I have been interested in science and it wasn't until I attended Hostos that my interest was realized. The close relationship I have developed with the science department has given me opportunities I wouldn't have gotten elsewhere. They have supported me since my first biology class and if it wasn't for them I wouldn't have been a part of this STEM project.
The hardest part of the STEM project was picking who to work with! All the professors are working on some very interesting projects and if I could have it my way I would work with them all. I choose to work with Dr. Rachlin because I would get to see what being a biologist would be like. The ability to work out in the field and in the lab with the specimens you caught yourself was what sold me. Although I want to be a physician I feel my work with Dr Rachlin and Dr. Walkintime will help make me a well-rounded scientist and applicant for med school. Working in Dr. Rachlin lab has also given me a taste of what it is like to work as a biologist should I choose not to attend med school. Download Kemar poster
I can't end without saying how awesome this program is and I feel lucky to be able to have been a part of the second class. It was an honor to meet and work with the science department at Lehman College. They were all very helpful and encouraging and I look forward to working with them in the future.
Kiady Diaz
My name is Kiady Diaz, I'm an immigrant from Dominican Republic and a Bronx Community College student pursuing my associate degree in Chemistry. I would like to become a Pharmacologist. My aim is to be able to make medicine that will heal ailments such as rare allergies, epithelial diseases and others. Science has always amazed me and for that reason I have been drawn to it both personally and intellectually. In the Dominican Republic there were fewer opportunities to achieve my goals. I came to this country four years ago and am excited to be involved with a program that is preparing me to achieve my dreams.
I'm truly thankful for the opportunity to do research at Lehman College. It has been a great experience to do hands on work in a lab freely rather than just studying the theoretical aspects of science. I would like to thank Dr. Neal Phillips for introducing me to the STEM Scholars research program. Special thanks are due to several people at Lehman College who have patiently instructed me, they are David Weisberger, our lab instructor, and Dr. Renuka Sankaran, our mentor. Download Kiady poster
Mabel Marte Taveras
One of the earliest memories I have from my childhood is seeing my aunt in the morning, leaning in the kitchen table while drinking her hot black coffee before going to work with her white, impressive lab coat. I remember looking up to her and as she went out of the house thinking of her as a much grander person than anybody else, because she had the power of the lab coat, which at my age at the time it always represented the image of a doctor. I always knew that I wanted to be a life changing person, one that influences others and obtains all my goals through sheer effort and hard work. I suppose that looking up to my aunt made me want to be a doctor, someone as grander as she.
My name is Mabel Marte Taveras. A Puerto Rican who's spent most of her childhood in Dominican Republic. I am an Undergraduate student currently attending Hostos Community College. As a Science major student I expect after graduation to continue my education in the field of Biology. All this is in preparation to my long-term goal which is to become a medical doctor.
When chosen for the STEM Scholars Research Program I looked forwarded to gaining as much experience as I could and I am not disappointed with the results. The program has enhanced my professional development and improved my abilities in the field of science. I have learned new skills, such as how to undergo MTT assays, how to read a plate reading machine, how to collect data, analyze it in a scientific way and overall I have grown as a person. I could not end this without acknowledging Dr. Moira Sauane, the people working in her lab, such as Cynthia and Cherry Falcon my co-worker in Dr. Sauane's lab. During this summer I gained a mentor, and friends. Thanks to all the people involved in the program, it has been a pleasure. Download the Mabel Teveras poster
Tchaa Taro
My name is Tchaa Taro, born and raised in West Africa in Togo. When I graduated from High School in Togo in 2009, I was thinking of how I could come over to accomplish my ideas. The first and most idea that I had at that time was to achieve my education in biochemistry and become a doctor. And then, I was also having in my mind as a dream to change my neighborhood by creating a clinic to save some lives. I had seen many people die without medical treatment. All these ideas was coming in my mind as a dream and I thought sometimes that it will be impossible because I'm poor, but I still had hope that I shall overcome one day.
My success started by winning American Green Card Lottery a year later. Hopefully I found myself in the United States in May 2010. Here I thought my dream will become a reality by working hard. I found a job and started working to help my family back home and organized myself to start college. In spring 2012, I decided to attend Bronx Community College where my experience is growing greatly. I'm majoring in Chemistry and I will transfer to a four year college in Biochemistry.
This summer the STEM program at Lehman College give me an opening mind of what I am thinking to do as a career. I learn a lot about advanced laboratory techniques in biochemistry because my research is on computational drug design. It's an amazing experience that I have because I never know how drugs are designed before starting this program. This is a good path way of my dream, and I'm glad to participate in this program. In addition, my computer skills increased by doing research and making power point representations. I sincerely greet the organizers of this program (Lehman, Hostos, and Bronx Community colleges) to keep it permanently for other STEM students because it is very useful. I especially thank my mentor Dr. Tom Young who was very carefully listening to me and giving me all details, Dr. Joseph Rachlin,Director of the STEM Scholars Program, and Dr. Neal Phillip from Academic Affair at Bronx Community College who gave me the opportunity to be part of STEM scholars.

Jensen Roubert
My name is Jensen Roubert. I am currently a student at Hostos Community College. After graduating from Hostos, I plan to continue my studies at a 4-year college to attain my bachelor's degree. My goal is to attain my degree in MLS (Medical Lab Science) and then move on to further studies such as Immunology and/or Microbiology. I can honestly say that I enjoy school and continuing to gain new knowledge and learn about new things.
This is my first involvement in a STEM Scholar's Program and it has been a great experience. I was asked if I wanted in on the program by one of my professors at Hostos and I accepted the opportunity since it was something new and sounded like a great chance to broaden my knowledge. The kind of experience and knowledge that I have gotten is really more than what I could've hoped for. Working in a research lab and doing analysis is basically what I want to do in the future so it is very beneficial to be in that kind of environment or setting early on. The work you do in the program is really interesting and the subject matter you study up on even more so. I encourage anyone looking to gain invaluable experience and a unique academic opportunity to apply for the STEM Scholar program. It has turned to be one of the best decisions I have made in my unsteady college career. I sincerely hope it continues to grow and that students give it the chance it deserves.
I would like to thank God first and foremost, my family for the much needed support, Hostos Community College for the extra chance they gave me. I also give special thanks to those professionals that have guided me into and during the STEM Scholar program. They are Professor Trachman, Dr. Rachlin and Felix Cardona for easing me into the program, and of course Dr. Liesl Jones, my mentor, for dealing with me and keeping my work interesting. I greatly appreciate it. Download Jensen poster

Bob has crossed into Chile, the 12th and final country that Walk2gether will visit. Here's a reflection from his Facebook page after visiting CFCA's sponsored members and their families in Brazil.
It is an honor to share the ideals and excitement of Walk2gether with the sponsored members and their families in Brazil.
Itís the rainy season, and we splashed our way through many a knee-deep puddle on the country roads.
The heat and mosquitoes are challenging too, but again our families give us excellent insights into acclimatization and ecology.
It takes a while to get out to this rural area in Cipauba, Piaui (a state in Brazil), but I find very little trash along the roads.
These are a deeply religious people, who hold frequent Bible services on their own and look forward to the monthly visit of a priest.
Within the loving confines of a small rural school, I discover confident and brilliant students, who have obviously received a lot of personal attention since their very first day in preschool.
In Mineiros, the children and families have been preparing for a good long time Ö and it shows. Festival dances are lively and very well done. Some of the regional dances resemble traditional U.S. square dances.
Typical foods prepared by the mothers are really delicious. I find it very inspiring to spend time with these families, sometimes in their own simple homes.
Enthusiastic and creative mothers are showing the world how to live with dynamism and hope in the midst of great challenges. In true CFCA spirit, there is an openness and tenderness between staff and children.
We really enjoyed an hourís interview in Portuguese and Spanish on Radio El Dorado in Mineiros.
It was facilitated by Dom Elias, host, with translation help from young Benedictine priest Dom Rodrigo (a fine linguist and friend of CFCA); Eutimia, Mineiros project coordinator; Cristina; and myself.
I ask for your prayers as we begin Walk2gether in the north of Chile. Please know of our love.
