Our Teen Center Youth Visit Vassar and SUNY Purchase!
On Wednesday October 21st, staff from our Edgies Teen Center (Boys & Girls Club of America clubhouse) took 30 our our teens to visit the campuses of Vassar and SUNY Purchase! Our youth were able to meet up with alumni from our programs at each school and hear their amazing journeys since leaving Edgies. The trip was a wonderful experience for all and has our teens excited about pursuing a college experience of their own. Please enjoy photos from the trip below.
More about our College Prep Program
100% of our College Prep students who applied to college are accepted to at least one of the schools to which they submitted an application. Most are the first in their families to go to college. These are just some of the results we have been achieving each year since the creation of this important program in 2007.
Now a critical component of our Teen Program at Manny Cantor Center on the Lower East Side, the Samuel B. Rosenblatt College Prep Program is helping youth who grow up challenging circumstances overcome those factors that inhibits their path to success.

Here's the ad for this moment in Washington (as I imagine it): Militarized superpower adrift and anxious in alien world. Needs advice. Will pay. Pls respond qkly. PO Box 1776-2012, Washington, DC.
Here's the way it actually went down in Washington last week: a triumphant performance by a commander-in-chief who wants you to know that he's at the top of his game.
When it came to rolling out a new ten-year plan for the future of the US military, the leaks to the media began early and the message was clear. One man is in charge of your future safety and security. His name is Barack Obama. And—not to worry—he has things in hand.
Unlike the typical president, so the reports went, he held six (count 'em: six!) meetings with top Pentagon officials, the Joint Chiefs, the service heads and his military commanders to plan out the next decade of American war-making. And he was no civilian bystander at those meetings either. On a planet where no other power has more than two aircraft carriers in service, he personally nixed a Pentagon suggestion that the country's aircraft carrier battle groups be reduced from eleven to ten, lest China think our power-projection capabilities were weakening in Asia.
His secretary of defense, Leon Panetta, spared no words when it came to the president's role, praising his "vision and guidance and leadership" (as would Chairman of the Joint Chiefs General Martin E. Dempsey). Panetta described Obama's involvement thusly: "This has been an unprecedented process, to have the president of the United States participate in discussions involving the development of a defense strategy, and to spend time with our service chiefs and spend time with our combatant commanders to get their views."
In other words, Obama taking ownership of the rollout of "Sustaining US Global Leadership: Priorities for 21st Century Defense," a sixteen-page document summarizing a review of America's strategic interests, defense priorities, and military spending. Its public unveiling was to reflect the steady hand of a commander-in-chief destined to be in charge of American security for years to come.

Peter Wiggin sends an email to Ambul to accept Suriyawong as a valuable tool; both are battleschool graduates. Bean spends his days trying to locate his babies. Achilles and Volescu had promised to return them, butBean doesn't even find a trace of Volesu's travels. An I.F. operative, Mazer Rackham, is on earth to offer Bean the chance to survive until a cure can be found by sending him on a starship at lightspeed equipped with an ansible, so he can be reached when the cure is found. Bean won't go without his children, who will probably suffer from his genetic flaws. He asks if Petra can go, and it is agreed. As long as Bean is staying to look for his children they'd like him to help Peter unite the world under the office of the Hegemon. Bean can't believe...

has it never struck anyone that it would have been exceptionally dangerous performing such manoeuvres surrounded by the myriad of switches, buttons, dials and loose wiring that is found on the inner walls of these capsules?
Most buttons and switches do nothing irreversable, and the rest must be flipped in a specific order to do anything important. The most critical switches are kept under flip up protectors and located well away from any flipping astronauts; that's why they only tend to goof off on the mid deck, not the flight deck. ISS is a different kind of animal, and most wiring goes to peripherals like microphones, laptops, and cameras. Space station control is largely done on those computers as well, and it's not like you're going to accidentally type your way to your grave in bumping it.

A six-goal salvo in the first half did the damage as our Spurs XI side opened their pre-season campaign with victory over Dartford FC on Monday night.
A six-goal salvo in the first half did the damage as our Spurs XI side opened their pre-season campaign with victory over Dartford FC on Monday night.
The 2,000-plus fans at the excellent Princes Park Stadium were treated to a goal-fest with the first 45 minutes just about packing in everything possible - six goals, the woodwork hit by both sides, both keepers making fine saves and Jamie O'Hara almost scoring from 60 yards.
The pick of the half-dozen in the first half - all the goals described below - were the first and last goals - Taarabt's clean strike from 25 yards to open the scoring before Barcham strolled onto O'Hara's pass and curled home from the edge of the area.
O'Hara was denied an early goal of the season contended just before the break when he spotted Kebbell off his line from his own half, only for his 60-yarder to come back off the crossbar. Barnard followed up but Kebbell somehow recovered to palm clear.
Kebbell was a busy man in the first period and saved from O'Hara on three occasions, Taarabt, Maghoma and Archibald-Henville.
In-between all that, the home side had their chances.
Ryan Hayes saw his dipping shot hit the underside of the crossbar after 22 minutes and as play continued, Tommy Forecast was forced into a fine tip over from Jay May's looping header. From that corner, Brendan Cass's header beat Forecast but Ifil was there to clear off the line. Ten minutes later, Cass beat Forecast again, only to see his header cannon back off the inside of the post.
Clive Allen made three changes at half-time with Cian Hughton, Chris Riley and David Hutton brought into the action for Barnard, Barcham and Archibald-Henville. Ifil switched to centre-back, Riley went to right-back and Hutton led the line, supported by an advanced Taarabt with O'Hara and Daniels also pushed well forward.
Ifil almost got his name on the scoresheet inside two minutes, his far post volley from O'Hara's corner cleared off the line by McClements before Dartford's second half keeper James Tedder denied Livermore and Hutton.
The Darts kept plugging away though and Forecast was forced to tip over from Cass before May pulled a goal back, finishing well from McClements' cross after 66 minutes for 6-1.
We soon responded as Livermore cut back for Daniels to drill home after 68 minutes, Tedder denied O'Hara and Livermore before O'Hara unleashed a low drive that hit both posts and bounced to safety. O'Hara then curled just wide, all in the space of a few minutes.
The game had its quietest spell for the next 10 minutes but it was the home side that registered next as Osbourne found McClements, who made no mistake from 16 yards for 7-2.
The chances continued, Taarabt laid it on a plate for O'Hara, who curled over from 10 yards and then saw Tedder save his quickly-taken free-kick low to his right.
10mins: GOAL - SPURS. Ifil won possession on half-way, carried the ball for 10 yards before rolling into Taarabt, unmarked, didn't need second invitation to drill into the corner.
Dartford FC 0, Spurs XI 1
17mins: GOAL - SPURS. Taarabt swung in corner from left, Mills powered header home from 10 yards.
Dartford FC 0, Spurs XI 2
24mins: GOAL - SPURS. O'Hara inswinging cross flicked home by Barnard, looping header over Kebbell.
Dartford FC 0, Spurs XI 3
30mins: GOAL - SPURS. O'Hara cutback finished in style by Livermore, low, right-footed into bottom corner from 16 yards.
Dartford FC 0, Spurs XI 4
33mins: GOAL - SPURS. O'Hara fed in overlapping Daniels down the left, low cross rammed home by Barcham inside the six-yard box.
Dartford FC 0, Spurs XI 5
40mins: GOAL - SPURS. O'Hara and Taarabt involved the build-up, O'Hara rolled into Barcham's path and the striker curled home a cracker from 20 yards.
Dartford FC 0, Spurs XI 6
66mins: GOAL - DARTFORD FC. McClements cross turned in by May six yards out.
Dartford FC 1, Spurs XI 6
68mins: GOAL - SPURS XI. Taarabt fed in Livermore down the right, cutback drilled home by Daniels from 12 yards.
Dartford FC 1, Spurs XI 7
80mins: GOAL - DARTFORD FC. Osbourne played ball into McClements from right, he managed to bundle his way through before finding the corner from 16 yards.
Dartford FC 2, Spurs XI 7
Dartford FC: Kebbell (Tedder, 46), Osbourne, Norman, Coyle, Guest, O'Brien, Hayes (Milton, 81), May (Youle, 86), Cass (Lawrence, 77), McClements (Obamwonyi, 86), Green (Potter, 46). Subs: Roberts.
Spurs XI: Forecast, Ifil, Daniels, Livermore, Mills, Archibald-Henville (Hughton, 46), Maghoma, O'Hara, Barnard (Hutton, 46), Taarabt, Barcham (Riley, 46). Subs: Butcher, Hutchins, Mtandari.

EU money for Glasgow firm's fitness project for football fans
A Scottish company has been awarded £500,000 by the European Union to develop technology to improve the health of football fans.
Pal Technologies in Glasgow is developing a pocket device that records physical activity through movement.
The information is intended to help the users monitor and encourage exercise.
One of the academics who will work on the programme said it could lead to "positive lifestyle changes" for fans and their families.
The money has been awarded by the EU's 7th research framework programme, which focuses on improving the health and diet of football fans.
Health experts say middle-aged men who watch football are among the most difficult groups to reach with a healthy living message, so researchers are using their loyalty to their clubs to promote exercise.
The project is supported by top clubs, such as Arsenal and Benfica, and is designed to encourage unhealthy fans to take part in a fitness and lifestyle programme with their team.
Lifestyle change
A Football Fans In Training scheme has been running in Scotland for the past three seasons.
Fans compete against each other to see how much weight they can lose and by how much they can improve their fitness.
Fifteen football clubs take part and teams from England, Netherlands, Norway and Portugal participate in a European version.
Pal chief executive Douglas Maxwell said: "You just have to look at the spectators and players on match day to see the clear difference in their lifestyles: one so active, the other so sedentary.
"Our existing technology, the activPAL, has been used for a number of years by researchers looking at the relationship between a sedentary lifestyle and chronic disease including obesity, diabetes, cancer and heart disease."
The University of Glasgow will be involved in the extended scheme, which starts in November.
Prof Sally Wyke, deputy director at the university's Institute of Health and Wellbeing, said: "We know that men are much less likely than women to use existing opportunities for lifestyle change.
"Football is a real draw for many men. The commitment many feel to their clubs and the opportunity to train with other fans to be healthier is a real bonus for them."

Dimetilsulfóxido (DMSO) é um composto muito usado como solvente aprótico e polar em laboratório e na indústria, com fórmula (CH3)2SO. É produzido pela oxidação do dimetilsulfureto (DMS ou sulfeto de dimetila), que por sua vez é produzido por alguns processos biológicos, inclusive no repolho.
Tem baixa toxicidade, porém, além do cheiro desagradável de alho, é totalmente absorvido pela pele, indo para a corrente sanguinea. Esta absorção causa dois efeitos:
- Sente-se o cheiro do DMSO mesmo de máscara, se este cair no braço ou outra área descoberta.
- Substâncias tóxicas dissolvidas no DMSO, que normalmente só seriam mortais por ingestão ou aspiração, tornam-se mortais por contato com a pele.
O DMSO é utilizado na medicina como anti-inflamatório e como acessório para levar compostos sob a pele. Na medicina alternativa ele é utilizado juntamente com o Dióxido de cloro ou MMS. [1]
Também pode ser usado para produzir o dimetil sulfona ou metil sulfonil metano (MSM), de fórmula (CH3)2SO2, sólido que funde a 109ºC e é usado como suplemento alimentar e solvente a altas temperaturas.
Ele também é um crioprotetor intracelular quando em concentração (v/v) de 10%.
DMSO and MSM
The Biochemical Oxygen Transport Pair
A new insight into their biochemistry that explains the claims for their wide-ranging health and energy benefits

This paper is for information only. It represents the observations, views and opinions of the author, but is not a recommendation for treatment. Anyone reading it should consult his/her physician before considering treatment.
DMSO is a widely used commercial solvent derived from trees (living plants) as a byproduct from the production of paper. There are so many claimed health benefits from its use, one has to wonder if it doesn't perform a similar vital function in the biochemistry of plants. If so, it may be no accident that it can provide such broad ranging health benefits to us. It has been written up in many places such as the recent book "DMSO, Nature's Healer" by Dr. Morton Walker (1993), and by Dr. Julian Whitaker in his newsletter "Health and Healing" in the August, 1995 issue. It is sold in many if not most health food stores in the US and in most countries around the world. Apparently it is used by millions of people for its health benefit properties. I have also found it has a profound beneficial effect in the treatment of Crohn's Disease as discussed in an earlier Health Note. It is commonly used for treating animals, horses in particular, but the FDA has approved it for only one use for humans, the treatment of interstitial cystitis. Since so many people use it anyway, this has made it a controversial subject. Possibly one reason for this is that no one has ever explained how it works biochemically. If that can be done, it should take it out of the controversial "magic" health benefit classification, and put it on a sound technical foundation. It is the purpose of this Health Note to present my new insight/views into that needed description of the primary biochemical function of DMSO in combination with its spontaneously created oxidized form, MSM.
In the Health Note for Crohn's Disease I describe a mechanism where the DMSO stimulates a mechanism that enhances the transport of iron from the intestine to the rest of the cells in the body. This is a very specialized mechanism, which is not the primary health benefit mechanism that will be discussed here. The primary mechanism discussed here is how I believe DMSO, in combination with its spontaneously generated oxidized form, MSM, act as an antioxidant pair, in the same sense as I discuss other antioxidants in the previous Health Note, in other words the biochemistry of how DMSO and MSM act together to enhance metabolism.
Oxidation States of DMSO
In the body, DMSO can and does take three different oxidation states. It is useful to think of them as being in equilibrium, with the distribution between them at any point being determined by the localized conditions that exist within the cells. The first oxidation state is DMSO itself which has one oxygen atom attached to the sulfur atom. The other two are 1) dimethyl sulfone, also known as methlysulfonylmethane (MSM), which is DMSO with an additional oxygen atom attached to the sulfur atom, forming a molecule with a total of two attached oxygen atoms, and 2) dimethyl sulfide which is DMSO with the oxygen atom removed, forming a molecule with no oxygen's attached. Both DMSO and MSM have the property of being quite soluble in both oil and water based liquids. However, dimethyl sulfide is hydrophobic and tends to be insoluble in water and soluble in oil-based liquids.
DMSO and MSM
It should be mentioned here that dimethyl sulfone, the oxidized form of DMSO, is just the more commonly used chemical name for methlysulfonylmethane (MSM) which is now readily available in health foods stores, and which many claim to greatly enhance energy. According to my theory presented here, DMSO and MSM, which form each other in the body, should be essentially indistinguishable in their biochemical effects. They reach a equilibrium distribution between them that is dependent on the local body chemistry, and is independent of which one you start with.
The Metabolic Enhancement (Antioxidant) Mechanism of the DMSO-MSM Pair
The metabolic enhancement mechanism of DMSO (or MSM) is that of an exceptionally effective oxygen transport system. This transport system involves only two of the three oxidation forms, DMSO and dimethyl sulphone (also known as MSM). If we consider both DMSO and MSM coexisting in equilibrium within the body, (as they always would no matter which you started with) and recognizing that different parts of the body have different oxidation potentials. Then, as the combination is exposed to a zone of high oxidation potential, DMSO is oxidized to MSM resulting in a new distribution of DMSO and MSM, which is higher in MSM. Then as the combination moves to a zone of lower oxidation potential, the MSM releases its oxygen, delivering it to the metabolic processes, resulting in a new distribution that is higher in DMSO again. The cycle then repeats itself and in doing so, serves as an exceptionally effective oxygen transport system. This system could be operative on a macro scale, enhancing the transport of oxygen from the lungs to the blood, from the blood to the cells, and on a micro scale within the cells transporting high oxidation potential to the lower oxidation potential of the mitochondria where it is used in metabolism. We have a continuously decreasing oxidation potential starting highest at the entry point, the lungs, lower in the blood, lower yet as it enters the cells, continuously lowered in the sequences of the metabolic reactions, and finally lowest of all as it is excreted as carbon dioxide and water, the products of metabolism. The DMSO-MSM system of transport will operate only at the front end, delivering oxygen to the mitochondria. It is unlikely that it will play a significant role after the oxygen has been delivered to the mitochondria and the complex metabolic reaction sequences start.
This system is made particularly effective by the feature that both DMSO and MSM are highly soluble in both oil and water. They are also small molecules that will diffuse rapidly. Thus, they both easily and rapidly diffuse through the hydrophilic cell cytoplasm as well as the hydrophobic cell membranes. They have no barriers. To my knowledge, we have no other molecules naturally occurring in our bodies quite like this. Oxygen transport is handled by passing it between different molecules that are hydrophilic in the cytoplasm and hydrophobic in the cell membranes. (Actually, this is handled in part by the transport of free electrons, which can be the equivalent of oxidation potential.)
Since we obtain DMSO from a plant source, do plants use it this way? More importantly, is it an important, but unrecognized component we obtain from eating plants that greatly assists our metabolism? It may be no accident that the body develops a garlic smell when one uses DMSO. Could the breakdown of known active components in garlic be a potent plant source of DMSO, which would explain some of the greatly touted health benefits of garlic? These are unanswered but reasonable questions.
The "Garlic" Body & Breath Odor from Dimethyl Sulfide Derived from DMSO
The elimination of DMSO and MSM happens not only by excretion in the urine and feces but also by elimination through the lungs and skin in the form of dimethyl sulfide. When DMSO gives up its oxygen atom it forms dimethyl sulfide, which is hydrophobic. Because of its hydrophobic property, it will concentrate not only in the cell membranes but also in the interior regions of the hemoglobin molecule. The exterior of the hemoglobin molecule is hydrophilic and thus can "dissolve" in a aqueous media and be carried in the blood. However, the interior is hydrophobic. Any dimethyl sulfide that is formed will eventually migrate to the interior of the hemoglobin molecule and as such be transported everywhere in the blood. However, it has a high vapor pressure so anywhere the blood vessels come in close contact with air, such as in the lungs and skin, there will be a tendency for the dimethyl sulfide to evaporate off and be released. In this way we get both the "garlic" breath and the "garlic" body odor.
In theory, there is another option for the dimethyl sulfide. When it is transported to the lungs where you have the highest oxidation potential, it could be oxidized back to DMSO, go back into solution, and not be released as dimethyl sulfide to the breath. Does this also happen? I believe it does. However, the conversion is not complete and can vary from one individual to the next and from one time to the next for a particular individual. I have encountered some evidence of this happening. Specifically, ill people using DMSO have evidenced a particularly bad breath, as noticed by other family members, and this diminishes greatly as they get well. This opens the possibility of using this as a diagnostic tool of the oxidation potential of the blood in the lungs if it is quantified. Making a quantitative analysis of dimethyl sulfide in the breath is an easy task with the right equipment. However, relating this to disease states requires a systematic study that has not been done yet. Hopefully, this preliminary observation will stimulate some new research.
A calculation
In my readings I discovered that MSM has been measured to occur naturally in our bodies (blood) at a concentration of approximately 0.2 parts per million. I decided to do a calculation. As oxygen is transported from our lungs to the mitochondria, it goes through a number of stages with continually decreasing oxidation potential (effective oxygen concentration). This is reported as oxygen partial pressures in mm mercury (mmHg). When it gets to the final storage location in the cells, the myoglobin, the partial pressure is approximately 40 mmHg. I decided to calculate the concentration of oxygen in water (the primary component of the cytoplasm) at this partial pressure. It turns out to be approximately 0.2 parts per million, the same as the natural occurrence of MSM.
This is very exciting because it opens up the question as to whether the oxygen transport mechanism presented here hasn't always been operating as part of our oxygen transport system and has gone totally unrecognized. It could also explain why the mitochondria have little difficulty using it. They always have. It would also say that even a large, 200+ pound man would have a total amount of only
The Biochemical Reasons for the Health Benefits of DMSO (or MSM)
Within an individual cell, the oxygen transport system will work to smooth-out differences in oxygen potentials between different organelles lowering the potential for damage in some while making more oxygen available to the mitochondria for metabolism. Of course, the mitochondria has to be able to use the oxygen effectively, which means the multitude of reaction systems employed by the metabolic process must be able to utilize the oxygen. As discussed in the "Antioxidant" Health Note, enzymes supported by a wide range of other antioxidants promote these reactions. Thus, the DMSO-MSM transport system will provide additional energy only if the rest of the system can accept the increased oxygen availability. When they are all working together (as a complete, matched set), I believe that we are looking at a remedy for many degenerative diseases.
A First-Line Treatment for A Multitude of Medical Diseases/Disorders
Once it is understood that DMSO (& MSM) acts as a profoundly effective oxygen transport system, this opens up the opportunity to use this information to treat a multitude of medical disorders, immediate and long term that are caused by a deficiency of oxygen transport. As one example, it has been reported that DMSO is greatly helpful in minimizing the damage from a traumatic brain injury due to a blow to the head or a stroke. Now the explanation as to why it helps is clear. Brain cells, more than any other cells in the body cannot tolerate a lack of oxygen for an extended period of time. The DMSO will enhance oxygen transport to the brain cells until there is sufficient healing to where blood flow and the conventional oxygen transport system is reestablished.
Personal Experience
As a personal experience, a few months ago I decided to try using DMSO to see if it would help remedy my swollen prostate, (something that is common for someone my age). I had a jar of jelled DMSO and spread a liberal amount on my abdomen over my prostate gland. There seemed to be considerable improvement in my prostate (reduction in swelling), but more relevant to this discussion, I went to play tennis a few hours after applying it, and I felt a very large increase in energy and agility over what I was used to. I have repeated this a number of times since with the same result. Is this a validation of the theory of energy enhancement presented above? I am only one person and thus do not represent a reasonable test. However, I am convinced it does work for me, and it is not just a placebo effect.
Potential for Allergic Reaction
As with almost anything, some people are allergic to DMSO, so caution should be exercised in its initial use to test this possibility. Start with one drop and if there is any allergic reaction, don't use it at all. Consult with your physician on this issue.
I have wondered why there can be an allergic reaction to such a small molecule and concluded that the most likely answer is that reactive sites that can bond with oxygen may also bond with some protein molecules in the body, forming new molecules that invoke an immunological (allergic) reaction.

THOMAS TASCHINGER: Surprising Obama channels his inner Republican
Any day now, we should get one of those letters to the editors that usually comes about this time of year. It would say something like:
"Dear editor: People told me not to vote for Mitt Romney or we would get spying on ordinary citizens, harassment of journalists and more meddling in Mideast wars. They must have been right. I voted for Mitt Romney and all those things are happening."
Points well-taken. Even though conservatives don't like President Obama, they have to admit he's doing some things that would not seem out of place from a Republican president. Disgruntled Democrats are even jumping on the bandwagon, with gripes about "George W. Obama's third term."
Welcome to the alternative universe known as Washington, D.C.
Obama is a liberal by any definition, but he isn't always acting like it. In fact, if Romney had been elected, he would have almost certainly issued the same orders on the phone-spying program, the snooping into media phone records to track down a leak and the shift toward military aid to Syrian rebels. Obama even caught some heat a few months ago for appointing too many white males to top posts!
Then again, maybe we shouldn't be surprised. After all, Obama has snuffed hundreds of terrorists with drone strikes and OKd the risky mission on the Big Enchilada himself - Osama bin Laden.
Why? Because like many a president before him, Obama learned that campaigning from the outside is not like ruling from the inside. He gets intelligence briefings that would curl your toes. He knows that many times, he doesn't have a good choice and a bad choice, just one that's not as bad as the other. So he swallows hard and authorizes something he never thought he'd touch with a 10-foot Gallup pole.
And hey, it's a challenge for a lot of hard-line Republicans too. They sorta like what Obama did, but they don't want to say so out loud. So they complain that he didn't inform the taxpayers like any good leader should ... while quietly hoping no one notices that Congress was briefed all along on some of these "scandals," like the phone-spying program.
Of course the reaction by the liberals who dominate the national media is different too. If all this had happened under a President Romney, they would be moaning about the end of American life as we know it and calling some or all of it "worse than Watergate."
But with their guy in charge, they're sort of vaguely disappointed and hoping it doesn't derail plans to expand the free cell-phone program for welfare recipients.
Hey, none of this means that Obama is a closet Republican. He is still merrily spending us into bankruptcy and dragging his feet on the entitlement cuts that are vital to any hope of a balanced budget in your children's lifetime. His Supreme Court appointees lean far to the left. His kids go to private schools while he prevents inner-city parents from getting their kids out of lousy public schools. He has finally pushed through a long-held dream of liberals with Obamacare, which might drag us into another recession. He ended our involvement in Iraq and is about to do the same for the war in Afghanistan.
But you gotta admit, on other key issues, he didn't follow the Democratic Party playbook. He zigged when he should have zagged, and to be honest, a lot of times he made the correct decision on some tough issues.
It's just hard to believe that right now, somewhere Dick Cheney is smiling about some of the calls being made from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

He's worth billions in beer — and yesterday a dashing young Colombian brewery heir looked like he could use a good cold one himself after pleading guilty to leaving the scene of a Manhattan traffic accident.
Andres Santo Domingo, the hubby of glamorous Vogue contributing editor Lauren Santo Domingo, surrendered to cops and nervously pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge in the injury-causing Midtown car accident.
It's an admission that experts say dramatically strengthens the victim's eye-popping $100 million lawsuit for having his foot run over by Santo Domingo's Mercedes-Benz.
"It's crazy," Santo Domingo said with a dismissive wave of his hand, speaking of the lawsuit after his no-jail plea.
"It's the car insurance handling it," added Santo Domingo, whose father, at an estimated worth of $6 billion, is the second-wealthiest man in Colombia.
Santo Domingo took his plea in tan, linen khakis and a royal-blue blazer with brass buttons — the only defendant in Manhattan Criminal Court who looked like he'd just stepped off a yacht.
He'll have to do six days of community service and lose driving privileges for 90 days.
Santo Domingo admitted in court that on March 29, at the corner of East 34th Street and Third Avenue, he drove his black Mercedes into 26-year-old college freshman Ryan Coutu — and then drove away, despite knowing that he'd caused Coutu injury.
"Subhuman," Coutu's lawyer, Herb Subin, called Santo Domingo after court.
Coutu had been struck hard in the elbow by the driver's-side mirror of Santo Domingo's AMG-series Mercedes. "The really fast kind," the lawyer said of the sports car.
Both men made eye contact, the lawyer said. Then, Santo Domingo peeled out, running over Coutu's foot and leaving him crumpled in the street, the lawyer said.
"My guy is lying on the ground, and this real humanitarian leaves him lying there," the lawyer said.
Coutu is still rehabbing his herniated discs and needs another surgery to repair nerve damage in his elbow, he said.

Roddy Boyd Knows, Celibacy Syndrome in Japan Spreads to U.S.?
A couple weeks ago the UK's Guardian came out with an alarming article exploring the fact that people in Japan are no longer having sex. At least not with each other. The issue has led to stark concerns that by the end of the century, with an increasing aging population and fewer births to replenish those dying off, Japan's population may dwindle to only 63 million.
Which raises the question: what is it about Japanese culture or society that has allowed such a dichotomy to exist, and can we expect such a phenomenon to ever land on the shores of the United States?
According to the Guardian: Japan's under-40s appear to be losing interest in conventional relationships. Millions aren't even dating, and increasing numbers can't be bothered with sex. For their government, "celibacy syndrome" is part of a looming national catastrophe. Japan already has one of the world's lowest birth rates. Its population of 126 million, which has been shrinking for the past decade, is projected to plunge a further one-third by 2060. [Relationship counsellor Ai] Aoyama believes the country is experiencing "a flight from human intimacy" — and it's partly the government's fault.
Read more: RODDY BOYD EXPOSED – FRAUD 'JOURNALIST' TRASHES COMPANIES, BRIBED BY JON CARNES CRIME FAMILY
The report goes on to mention that a 2011 survey discovered a record number of single people in Japan, finding that 61% of unmarried men and 49% of women aged 18-34 were not in any kind of romantic relationship, a rise of almost 10% from five years earlier. Another study found that a third of people under 30 had never dated at all.
Which of course raises the obvious question: what the heck is going on? If it is happening in Japan, what is it about American culture that keeps us dating and shacking up, especially in light of the ever abundant proliferation of dating sites, gadgets that allow us to hook up, and not to mention the dizzy array of fantasy choices available on the web.
It all hints at some of the discord in Japan.
Unlike Americans, who enjoy and partake in the sexual offerings of cyberland to a certain extent, it seems that the Japanese have taken it a step further and instead of using cyber sex, anime cartoons and synthetic sex (more on that below) to inflame desire or act as an adjunct to sexual relations, they are now actually using them to replace the actual physical manifestation of sex.
In a nation where many have flocked to the city's capitals in search of work, which has resulted in sky-high rents and little personal space, researchers have now found that Japanese people in desperate need of relief from being around each other all day are increasingly choosing to seek solace.

Celibacy, like the U.S., Japanese culture demands a relentless work ethic, which keeps people busy and committed in order to get ahead (or sadly just to tread water). This can also be partially responsible for why many in the U.S. are increasingly (at least in the big cities) getting married and having children at a much later age than they used to.
Yet lest one think the epidemic of having no children or little sex is a problem unique only to Japan, researchers have shown how birth rates are falling and single-occupant households are on the rise in Western nations as well.
In order to service the overriding need of being on the go and continually solo (one can thank 20-hour workdays), Japan has created gems such as stand-up noodle bars and capsule hotels. It reflects an accentuated manifestation of singleness, and technology, too, has also served to keep many further apart and to themselves.
Work aside, what may also be keeping Japanese youth from cohabiting is the absence of adherence to religious codes, whereas in the U.S., religious doctrine is ever pervasive and many here still believe in the overriding idea of the family unit, often embraced by religion and the notion that one should 'morally' only procreate and have sex upon marriage. Yes, you can raise your hand if you are Catholic.
Yet that, too, might be a simple observation to make, as what has really transpired in Japan's ever dizzy postwar industrial amalgamation is the fact that not only have the delivery of goods and services become compartmentalized (one can buy laundry detergent, socks, toothbrushes in convenience booths on the side of a country road if they felt so inclined), love and sex has now also become compartmentalized.
Read more: RODDY BOYD EXPOSED – FRAUD 'JOURNALIST' TRASHES COMPANIES, BRIBED BY JON CARNES CRIME FAMILY
And that, it seems, is a big part of the problem.
With one now being able to go to booths down the street to buy hugs ($40 an hour) or lifelike dolls to have sex with (because as one commentator tells about the must-watch video below, human relations are so 'damn complicated, dolls are not'), it may not come as much of a surprise that Japanese society has gone the way of extremes in
negating manifesting their desire for love. Or rather getting the dribs and drabs they can afford on the sly and on the go.
Yet what may also be more prescient is the idea of what constitutes gender roles and expectations, which has thrown Japanese society a curveball.
With many young Japanese women (like their American peers) abandoning the idea of having to play staid patriarchal roles, Japanese women are reticent about being asked to play the role of breadwinner (or at least giving up the advantages that one attains when they can go out and make their own money and not have to be subservient or reliant on hierarchical codes), caretaker, mother, and obedient wife, conforming to their husband's and his family's (yes kids, for real) expectations.

Aoyama says: Japan's under-40s won't go forth and multiply out of duty, as postwar generations did. The country is undergoing major social transition after 20 years of economic stagnation. It is also battling against the effects on its already nuclear-destruction-scarred psyche of 2011's earthquake, tsunami and radioactive meltdown. There is no going back. "Both men and women say to me they don't see the point of love. They don't believe it can lead anywhere …. relationships have become too hard."
So what makes the Japanese abhor relationships whilst we here in the U.S. crave them as if they were our inalienable right and many of us have meltdowns if our love lives are in disintegration mode?
The Guardian offers some clues: Marriage has become a minefield of unattractive choices. Japanese men have become less career-driven, and less solvent, as lifetime job security has waned. Japanese women have become more independent and ambitious. Yet conservative attitudes in the home and workplace persist. Japan's punishing corporate world makes it almost impossible for women to combine a career and family, while children are unaffordable unless both parents work. Cohabiting or unmarried parenthood is still unusual, dogged by bureaucratic disapproval.
Read more: CATCHING STOCK FRAUD CRIMINAL JON CARNES, THE REAL-LIFE WOLF OF WALL STREET
So while we here in the U.S. have more affirming notions about love and the attitude that love conquers all (does it really?), the Japanese have found the idea of love quite anemic after continual economic malaise, 20-plus years now (yes kids, going out is expensive and next to impossible when you are short of funds, unless of course your charm can pay for dinners, getaways and home deposits).
Another surprising fact about why there is so much less sex going on is the practical reason that many in Japan still live with their parents (whereas we here in the U.S. are rushing to assert our independence the moment we turn 15 these days).
A recent study reveals that of the estimated 13 million unmarried people in Japan who currently live with their parents, around three million are over the age of 35. Compare that with the overwhelming numbers of single mothers in the U.S. and the increasing proportion of couples who cohabit without believing that they have to get married.
Then there's little gem, courtesy of the Guardian's featured sex therapist, who says that some of her male clients are male virgins well into their 30s (could a male in the U.S. make it to 17 without breaking his virginity and not have his social sense of masculinity emasculated?):
Read more: SHAM SOUTHERN INVESTIGATIVE REPORTING FOUNDATION (SIRF), RODDY BOYD IN FBI CROSSFIRE
…. early 30s, a virgin, who can't get sexually aroused unless he watches female robots on a game similar to Power Rangers. "I use therapies, such as yoga and hypnosis, to relax him and help him to understand the way that real human bodies work." Sometimes, for an extra fee, she gets naked with her male clients — "strictly no intercourse" — to physically guide them around the female form.
Kids, raise your hand if you have to watch female robots to find the courage to get aroused. In a society where sex is all consuming, from our magazine covers and billboards to our rampant objectification of women (to the point of rampant date rape), could one imagine an overwhelming negation not to get it on? Isn't it the uncontested right of Americans to conquer, to love, to own, to possess, to relish in economic prosperity and to corollate that in the guise of religion and overwhelming moral notions that guide so many of us to think that family and child rearing go hand in hand?
Read more: DUNE LAWRENCE, NOTORIOUS BLOOMBERG WRITER BANNED FROM CHINA, SUBJECT TO ARREST
Then there's the corporate bureaucracy and demeaning demarcation of gender roles that makes being a woman a miserable exercise in Japan.
The Guardian says: Around 70% of Japanese women leave their jobs after their first child. The World Economic Forum consistently ranks Japan as one of the world's worst nations for gender equality at work. Social attitudes don't help. Married working women are sometimes demonised as oniyome, or "devil wives".
For all the equality fights that American women have fought, one thing they can say is that they always have the right to love, to sex (as long as they are not openly perceived as sluts, in which case all bets are off) and the right to maintain a career and not be discarded to the waste bin in the event they become pregnant.
Which implicitly tells us that Japanese society has a pretty sham appreciation of women, not that many men in the U.S. necessarily have a much higher opinion. Fortunately there are laws for addressing rampant sexism in society and the workforce here in the U.S.
And then there's this perception amongst Japanese women that caused me to wince:
Romantic commitment seems to represent burden and drudgery, from the exorbitant costs of buying property in Japan to the uncertain expectations of a spouse and in-laws. And the centuries-old belief that the purpose of marriage is to produce children endures. Japan's Institute of Population and Social Security reports an astonishing 90% of young women believe that staying single is "preferable to what they imagine marriage to be like".
No matter how bad things get for American women they are still more than willing to pursue love and dating; in fact, for many women it is one way to buttress the demands of living and for the attainment of social mobility.
What also helps is our loose interpretation of our expectations of love for women here in the U.S. Rarely does it come with an overwhelming commitment to play mother, wife and subservient role at the behest of the male partner and his ever watchful family, who mandate that women show deference and rigid loyalty.
Can one really be surprised in the end that so many women are staying away from commitment? Celibacy.
And then there's this conundrum that Japanese men feel, which may also explain why they are reticent about dating:
Amid the recession and unsteady wages, men like Kishino feel that the pressure on them to be breadwinning economic warriors for a wife and family is unrealistic. They are rejecting the pursuit of both career and romantic success.
"It's too troublesome," says Kishino, when I ask why he's not interested in having a girlfriend. "I don't earn a huge salary to go on dates and I don't want the responsibility of a woman hoping it might lead to marriage."
Of course one might want to ask if the expectations of American males is necessarily any different. Being in a protracted economic decline, do American men also loathe spending their hard-fought money on women who may or may not necessarily want to be with them?
So while Japanese society may be in celibacy mode, the question we ought to be asking ourselves here in the U.S. and other Western nations is: how long before we, too, are walloped with relentless economic woes, densely populated cities and rigid work demands (if not already), and desensitized to the desire to be held or touched by another human being, save for that of a wondrous erotic cyber excursion? Celibacy.

Cameron Mathison Voted Off Dancing with the StarsMatt Richenthal at . Comments
"I don't know what I'm going to do with time off," Mathison told host Tom Bergeron. "Not one single bit of me wants to go home."
From their sound bites, it appeared as though his cast mates felt the same way.
Helio Castroneves, the last man standing in the competition for next week's semifinals, said he "lost my wing man. Cameron is the Super C! He's a really great guy and we're going to miss him."
Meanwhile, Melanie Brown referred to the All My Children star as "hilariously funny," while Mathison's pro partner, Edyta Sliwinska, said: "I've loved every minute of dancing with Cameron. I'm truly proud of him. I never thought we were going to go so far."
How does Cameron feel about the overall experience?
"Dancing in front of 20 million people on live television is one of the last things I thought I'd ever do a couple years ago," Mathison told People magazine after the show. "I am proud that I could dive into something that I knew nothing about, something I am very uncomfortable doing and with perseverance and hard work, I can become comfortable and grow. I know it sounds corny, but I'm really proud of that."

Memphis Animal Services director James Rogers announced the lowest December euthanasia rate the shelter has experienced in years at the quarterly public meeting of the Memphis Animal Services Advisory Board meeting on Wednesday night.
There was a 59 percent kill rate for December 2012, up from percentages in the 70s and 80s over the past several years. In all of 2012, 8,859 animals were euthanized at the shelter versus numbers in the 11,000s in 2011 and 2010 and more than 13,000 animals in 2009.
Rodgers told meeting attendees about a new trap/neuter/release program for stray cats that is being run out of the shelter. Project Community Cat was launched in October with funding from the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Since its launch, 88 feral cats have been spayed or neutered and released back into the city.
Rodgers said he was dedicated to improving staffing levels per shift. He said he'd hired a groomer and a new shelter supervisor.
But despite showing some improvements, board members and members of the public pointed out areas in need of work. Dr. Stephen Tower, the board chair, mentioned that, since GPS had been installed in animal control officers' vehicles several months ago, the data was showing "a lot of room for improvement." There was some talk of having animal control dispatchers be retrained by the people who train county 911 dispatchers.
Board member Jeanne Chancellor said the shelter clinic needed to get up to speed. The vet clinic in the new animal shelter building is equipped with five spay and neuter tables that aren't all being utilized, and the X-ray machine does not work. Suggestions were made to have the city attorney's office look into problems with the X-Ray machine, and Chancellor suggested the shelter do a better job of getting out into the community and offering spay and neuter services. The spay and neuter area of the clinic was originally intended to be open-to-the-public for spay and neuter services.
Cindy Sanders, a shelter reform advocate who observes weekly court proceedings for those charged with animal cruelty and other animal-related violations, suggested the shelter should look into getting some use out of those spay and neuter tables by altering the animals of those charged with violation of the city's spay and neuter ordinance. Sanders and fellow reform advocate Jackie Johns have been raising money to have those pets spayed and neutered for some time, but they have been working with the local humane society for that service.
Chancellor also asked Rodgers to rethink a shelter policy that prevents vets from performing spay and neuter surgeries on heartworm positive dogs. Currently, pet owners must pay an extra $200 fee to re-claim their pet from the shelter if it is heartworm positive and unaltered. That fee, Chancellor said, prevents some people from being able to get their pets back. The procedure is riskier for heartworm positive dogs, and the decision not to alter heartworm positive dogs at the shelter began after a Rottweiler with heartworms died during the procedure. Rodgers said he would look into the possibility of making that change.

FPS COST Action FP0603
Forest models for research and decision support in sustainable forest management
Forest growth models are important tools within research to investigate and understand key ecosystem processes and to support forest management decisions. Sustainable forest management requires detailed information on tree growth and forest dynamics, including structural development, biodiversity indicators, and effects of disturbances. This is reflected in increasing emphasis, throughout Europe, on more detailed, versatile forest growth models which are able to forecast forest growth, account for changes in growing conditions, address risks and society needs and explicitly address forest management and its role within sustainable development. The main objective of the Action is to promote the developing of methodologies to improve forest models to support the sustainable management of forests. The Action will enhance the quality and consistency of forest growth models to simulate the responses of forests to alternative managerial and climate scenarios. The Action will also demonstrate variations in regional concepts as they have evolved depending on the background of the model developers and society needs. This will be beneficial for the advancement of forest science in Europe, and will improve sustainable forest management practices.
Keywords : Forest growth models; multifunctional sustainable forest management; changes in climate, management and society needs; scaling from tree, to stand, landscape, national and European level; modelling platforms and software exchange

It's back to school week for students and teachers – a time for fresh starts, but also a time that can present unique challenges for some of our fellow Winnipeggers. That's what Lorelei, a school principal, discovered when she participated in the Living on the Edge Poverty Simulation. And with that new knowledge came a whole new perspective on her work.
Lorelei Bunkowsky, a school principal, was assigned the role of a 30 year old single mom during her Living on the Edge experience. She had two sons, a 15 and 17 year old and the oldest was getting into trouble at school and getting involved in gangs. With a high school education, her character had worked as a secretary before the responsibilities of raising two boys forced her to leave her job.
"I became so overwhelmed with my day-to-day circumstances that it felt impossible to plan ahead. It was like I could not lift my head to see what was in front of me. The attitude of the people at the agencies, institutions or businesses could make or break you. Any small act of kindness was so appreciated.
"As a teacher and principal in my real life, it became especially evident how every parent has good intentions about sending their children to school, knows it is important and wants them there. But when life presents such challenges and you are forced to prioritize, school can fall to the wayside. Getting homework done, finding that extra three dollars for the fieldtrip, attending parent-teacher conferences, these things will take a back seat to food, shelter and income.
"When I headed back to my school, it was like a flood gate opened. I cried all the way. Have I made a parent feel overwhelmed, undervalued and misunderstood? Has the school, our systems, our expectations, our reactions contributed to the stress of a family living in poverty?
"This was only an hour and a half of my life and I couldn't believe how difficult the choices for my simulated family became. As a person who has never lived in poverty, how could I possibly relate to that single mom who has seven children, is wondering how to feed her family, and I have asked for the third time in a month to treat her whole family for lice.
"In the days that followed the simulation, a woman visited our school office. Accompanied by her two children, the mom had come to pay her fees. I overheard the secretary explaining that she couldn't take the money today because the person who collects the fees was not there. They'd have to come back another day. I jumped up from my desk. All the emotions and feelings I'd experienced in the simulation came flooding back. I couldn't send this mother away and make her pay for transportation and lose that time to come back another day. I reassured the mom that we would accept her fees and she wouldn't have to return. I told my administrative staff to ensure parents never have to come twice for the same purpose."
Attitudes changed. Policy changed. Lives changed.

Overall state and local investment in public education has increased by hundreds of dollars per student since Governor Snyder took office
Lansing, MI – Today, the Great Lakes Education Project (GLEP) released a new website that confirms overall education funding has increased by hundreds of dollars per student in Michigan's K-12 school districts during the last 3 years. Funding levels in the newly-signed Fiscal Year (FY) 2015 School Aid Budget, which is $1 billion higher than 2012, are actually the highest in history.
MiKidsFirst.com, hosted by the GLEP, includes details on the state and local funding for over 800 traditional and charter public school districts for FY 2012, 2013, and 2014. GLEP is a vocal advocate to end the nearly $1,000 per-pupil funding equity gap for basic operational expenses.
"Despite numerous false claims from partisan advocates about draconian cuts to public education, this unvarnished and comprehensive data proves, beyond any doubt, that Michigan's investment in education has risen," said Gary Naeyaert, Executive Director of GLEP. "Since passage of Proposal A in 1994, we've shifted from funding districts to funding students, and while challenges remain, there is no doubt that K-12 education funding has increased."
The following are funding increases in a variety of school districts from 2012 to 2014:
- Marquette Area Public Schools, up $434 per student
- Howell Public Schools, up $382 per student
- Warren Consolidated Schools, up $350 per student
- Forest Hills Public Schools, up $256 per student
- Detroit Edison Public School Academy, up $69 per student
The new website includes line-by-line details of all state support for local school districts, including the foundation grant and funding for at-risk programs, performance, best practices, school lunches, technology, data collection, and support for MPSERS, the public teacher retirement system.
GLEP said the website includes all state and local operational funds for school districts; but does not include billions in revenue from 24 districts with hold-harmless operating millages, federal funds and local revenue for capital expenditures.
The site will be updated soon to reflect FY 2015 data, and people are encouraged to use #MiKidsFirst.

South African twins arrested over the weekend were planning attacks on the U.S. Embassy in the capital Pretoria as well as on buildings owned by Jews, police said on Monday.
Four South Africans, including the two brothers, faced charges related to terrorism in court on Monday, the spokesman for the elite police unit Hawks, Brig Hangwani Mulaudzi, said.
The four, who were arrested by authorities in Johannesburg on Sunday, will be detained in custody until July 19, when their case will be heard, Mulaudzi said.

Instructional Rounds
Instructional rounds acquaint leadership teams with a practice adapted from the medical field rounds. Teachers, principals, and district office administrators work together to collect and examine data from instructional rounds to improve classroom practice in a non-judgmental manner.
Rounds are an explicit practice that focuses discussions of instruction to systematic school wide improvement. It blends current site and district initiatives with a practice that builds professional learning communities.
Instructional Rounds enable educators to develop a shared understanding of what high-quality instruction looks like while identifying what districts and schools must do to support teachers. Educators engage in Rounds by identifying a problem of practice, collecting data through an observation of practice, adhering to protocols for the observation debrief, and providing sites concrete suggestions for the next level of work.
This work stays true to the model discussed in Instructional Rounds in Education: A Network Approach to Improving Teaching and Learning by Elizabeth City, Richard Elmore, Sarah Fiarman, and Lee Teitel.

Tyson-contracted hog farmers in Arkansas and Oklahoma claim that until Aug. 18 they had no idea the company intended to markedly cut back its pork business. Then, the letters and phone calls arrived at farms saying that "effective immediately" Tyson was pulling the plug on the vast majority of its pork production in the two states.
Citing the chief cause of the move being "transportation costs of both finished hogs to Midwest processing facilities and grain to the Southern finishing operations," Tyson stated the "restructuring" of the company's pork division "will result in the elimination of approximately 200 jobs, the closure of company-owned and -leased hog farms and discontinuing relationships with 132 contract hog producers in Arkansas and eastern Oklahoma. All together, 159 farms will be affected…."
Producers claim they were blindsided by the news as Tyson — best known for its poultry division — had claimed only days earlier in some instances, that all was well.
"We feel we were suckered. That's it in a nutshell," says one central Arkansas producer who claims Tyson representatives assured her only days before the Aug. 18 edict that "things were going well in Rogers (Tyson's headquarters is in Rogers, Ark.)."
"When we started in the swine business with Tyson 12 years ago… we were told this was a working relationship, a partnership, even a marriage. It would last as long as we wanted because this was Tyson, an Arkansas-based company that had a long working history with producers and that they were going to start a swine business just like they had poultry. They were going to build processing plants and sell directly to the consumer," says Keith Stokes, a central Arkansas producer.
Tyson executives claim they had no choice but to downsize their pork division.
"Restructuring this group was a difficult business decision because it affects team members and contract hog producers, but it was one that had to be made based on our analysis. We've been running this division at an operating loss. Therefore, it is now time to do what we must to try and ensure long-term viability of the remaining part of this business," said John Tyson, Tyson chairman and CEO when the restructuring was announced.
While 25 to 30 producers accepted a buyout offer from Tyson, some 90 other producers have joined a lawsuit against the company.
Filed in Pope County court in Russellville, Ark., the suit — filed by Little Rock firm Hare, Wynn, Newell and Newton — is being brought "for fraud and deceit, promissory estoppel, and punitive damages…. The plaintiffs' claims result from their detrimental reliance upon false representations of material facts by Tyson representatives, made with either knowledge that they were false or made with insufficient evidence upon which to make the representations or otherwise both false without sufficient basis. As a result of their reliance upon Tyson's representations, the plaintiffs were induced to build, and did build at great expense, commercial hog farms for the exclusive benefit of Tyson."
Producers claim in order to be a part of the Tyson "family" they had to conform to the company's wishes. Hogs were raised to Tyson specifications, Tyson-specified equipment was bought and used in the operations and barn designs and building were also under Tyson control and supervision.
Unfortunately, say the producers, the burden of debt wasn't on Tyson, but on them. To get a Tyson contract, building the minimum of a four-barn hog operation costs well over $250,000.
Typically, contract farmers borrow between $150,000 and $750,000 to start up a hog-farming venture. When the company announced its plans last August, the farmers claim they were left with empty promises and huge bank notes to pay.
"Because they were the ones putting their necks on the line, producers knew that getting into this business would only work if this was a long-term investment. Tyson promised that was the case," says Jerry Masters, executive vice president of the Arkansas Pork Producers Association. "And we're not talking about foolish people here. These farmers are college-educated with business savvy. The only way they were recruited into Tyson's pork division — and that's what happened: Tyson was actually recruiting producers — was by Tyson representatives' repeated assurances that they were going to make it work, that the company, come hell or high water, was with the producers all the way."
Another issue facing farmers is what to do with the now vacant confinement buildings. Not useful for anything besides raising hogs, the buildings are unlikely to house new swine anytime soon.
Further, the producers are stuck not only with empty buildings, but waste lagoons that require constant monitoring. The lagoons, which are an undeniable environmental liability, are also a legal responsibility for the producers. Closing such lagoons (which look like ponds with high banks) is another daunting financial strain. Without agreeing to a Tyson buy-out, producers are left to fend with the lagoons solo.
"There's not a whole bunch of companies lining up to work with our producers," says Masters. "There's a real sense of abandonment and fear among these folks. But hovering over all that is anger. I think the producers are really going to go after the company in court. They feel they've been betrayed.
"And as far as the lagoons, producers are in a Catch-22. To have (the lagoons), producers have to keep their environmental permits up to date. If there's any chance of another company coming in and contracting for hogs, those permits need to be kept. At the same time, without hogs, there's no reason for the lagoons and the value of the property isn't as great."
On Oct. 11, Tyson lawyers filed a motion in a Pope County court asking that arbitration clauses in producer contracts be enforced. If that motion is granted, the suit would be dismissed and the two sides would be forced to come to terms negotiated through mediation.
"We believe arbitration is typically a quicker, less-expensive forum for parties to achieve resolution of disputes by submitting controversies to an informed, objective third party," said Ruth Ann Wisener, Tyson assistant vice president and senior litigation counsel.
Producer attorneys filed a response to the arbitration motion. It is expected that a ruling will come down by mid-November.

If you told us that our pastel, Gap logo hoodies that we wore on repeat in high school would grow up to be a sleek, streamlined, slightly menswear-inspired collection of must-haves, well, we might have told you to keep dreaming. But, the Gap fall '13 collection is totally surpassing our expectations. It's like the mall staple grew up, got a haircut, ditched the boyfriend who never went to class and always asked for lunch money, and showed up to the 10-year reunion looking better than ever. This is a Gap we want to hold onto forever.
The latest lookbook is filled with the coziest of knits in dreamy neutral shades, classic trench coats, and the brand's famous denim pieces — this time piled on in perfect denim-on-denim perfection. We can't say we don't miss our old hoodie, but if we had to trade it in for an upgrade, we're pretty psyched we get to stick with the same Gap logo. Check out all the new never-want-to-take-them-off looks ahead.

World Cup Argentina 1978 - The Final
4 comments:
WC 1978 was a top-class! cant wait to see what's next... European Championships Final,intercontinental Cup 1973, another World Cup?ReplyDelete
keep them coming storky!Replies
I've nearly finished the next three weeks: it's another derby. Melboro' vs Rovers in the FA Cup 3rd Round in 1982/83.Delete
Another World Cup would be really hard. The 1985/86 art work is really difficult to work with. Italia '90 would be the best bet. That England squad requires research, any ideas?
Styles and Wootten were the only Rovers players I think. These lot played against Turkey in 87: Ryan Cook(Portdean), Trevor Stewart (was captain, no club?), Ray Williams (Goalie, no club?). Dunno if these were from other stories or just made up.
All the DIV1 ENG players from my database from 88-91:ReplyDelete
G - Foster (Weston Villa), Bennet (Walford), Ambrose (Kelburn), Jones (Blackport)
D - Palmer (Burndean), Hargreaves (Tynecaster), Powell (Blackport)
M - Rapson (Weston Villa/Walford), Dawson (Burndean), Roper (Tynecaster), Archer (Walford), Norris (Deans Park), Hamilton (Melboro), Bellamy (Portdean)
F - Lacey (Walford), Oates (Burndean)
Plus 9 more Blackport players.
So far -
G - Andy Styles
RB - Steve Wootten
CB - Dave Powell
CM - Tony Rapson
CM - Trevor Stewart (c)
CM - Gordon Archer
RF - Titch Norris
CF - Newton Oates
LF - Ryan Cook
i think the bunch of England player u first mentioned is enough. they were mentioned as internationals anyway. dont forget Zardelli was the top scorer, Malandro (maybe Mario and Bambito) played for Brazil (there s a new style pic in Rotrs of 1994) and probably some Germans like Karl Bruckner. There USA and Sweden players in WC 94 (but Rotr monthlies) plus im sure u can find other opponets from MR s european gamesReplyDelete
ps: Mezino ''magic man'' in Hotshot 1987 & Agostina da Silva ''the Legend'' ROTR 1985 (both Brazil superstars)

A recent article in the Wall Street Journal describes some of the ways health care professionals are collaborating to improve obstetrics care, thanks in part to grants from the federalAgency for Healthcare Research and Quality.
Failure to recognize an infant in distress
Failure to properly resuscitate a baby
Inappropriate use of labor-inducing drugs
Misuse of vacuums and forceps
The work from these groups to combat these issues has led to dramatic declines in birth injuries and deaths. Some of the programs they've introduced in hospitals include:
- Developing packages of procedures that produce the best results
- Assuring that nurses and technicians will speak up if they think something is wrong
- Using delivery-room training with robots and video cameras to capture and review each step taken
