LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) January 03, 2014
The international law firm Greenberg Traurig LLP represented HerbThyme Farm Inc., in an alleged mislabeling case with enormous national implications for the organic food industry and consumers who purchase and enjoy such products. The California Court of Appeal ruled that state law consumer actions based on mislabeling of food products as "organic" by a certified grower are preempted by federal law, and cannot be maintained in Quesada v. HerbThyme Farms, Inc. (December 23, 2013, Case No. B239602).
In the original case, the plaintiff brought a class action lawsuit alleging the defendant mixed conventional herbs with organic herbs, and then improperly labeled and sold the mixture as "organic." The plaintiff alleged the defendant violated California's false advertising laws, Consumer Legal Remedies Act, and unfair competition laws. Greenberg Traurig litigation shareholder Mark D. Kemple led the representation of HerbThyme Farms, Inc. with litigation associate Angela Diesch.
According to court documents, HerbThyme Farms, Inc., a large grower and marketer of herb products, denied any wrongdoing and argued that such state law claims are preempted in any event by the Federal Organic Foods Production Act of 1990, found at 7 U.S.C. §6501, et seq. ("OFPA"). In addition, it argued the OFPA, in effect, mandates that there be one deciding body or umpire on the question of whether food products are organic – namely the USDA or its state designee – and that the USDA alone may define the zone in which such an "organic" designation may fall. HerbThyme Farms, Inc. argued that if individual consumers could second-guess the USDA's "organic" call through state law consumer actions, industry players would hesitate stepping to the plate. Further, the purpose of the OFPA – attaining a vibrant organic industry in which producers and consumers could rely on a nationwide unifying "organic" standard – would be defeated. In effect, the plaintiff had sought to replace the OFPA and its implementing regulations, the National Organic Program ("NOP"), with a reasonable consumer standard, and sought to replace the federal umpire or USDA with a California state court jury or juries, comprised of individual consumers. The court's decision supports uniform organic standards regulated by Federal policies, without the risk of private enforcement with subjective opinions of what it means to be organic.
"We are pleased by this ruling and look forward to this further ensuring national consistency with Federal guidelines for the labeling of organic products," stated Kemple.
Kemple is a first chair litigator with broad experience defending clients against consumer and employment class actions, including false advertising and unfair competition claims relating to the labeling, content and characteristics of food and beverage products. He handles disputes for companies of all sizes, and has tried numerous lawsuits and arbitrations throughout the United States. Kemple has argued appeals in three federal circuits and several state courts of appeal.
Diesch represents natural and organic product manufacturers and distributors with product packaging and labeling issues as well as related litigation including unfair competition, Lanham Act, false advertising, and slack-fill actions brought by both individual parties and government agencies. She is well versed in the Organic Foods Production Act (OFPA) and the California Organic Products Act (COPA), and assists clients with both certification and resolution of disputes regarding NOP compliance. Diesch is also a member of the firm's Labor & Employment group with a focus on class action wage and hour and individual employment claims.

Covercy, money transfer service between countries, on the one hand it's cheaper than the bank, on the other hand – it is still a young company with a new service – so what are the pros and cons, and should we continue to pay huge commissions to banks (even above 5%) on remittances?
Transfer of funds between countries is an expensive business – if you need to transfer funds from your own account to a bank account abroad, you end up paying very high fees – a fee for converting the funds, close to 0.2% of the transaction (but there is a minimum fee of $ 6) an exchange rate fee that usually reflects a commission of more than 1% (the guide – the conversion rate – what is it? and how to get the best available rate?); a processing fee (SWIFT) is usually evaluated between $ 20 minimum up to $ 150 maximum (most banks charge a 0.175% of the amount of transfer with a minimum fee).
In addition, with regard to transfers of money between countries, there is also a connecting bank fee (CORRESPONDENT BANK) and here it could add up to a few dollars (can reach several tens of dollars), however this is not always the case and sometimes there is actually a direct bank connection (The bank through which you make the action has a direct link to the bank account holder abroad). To sum it up, an international bank transfer includes a lot of money and it can get to a few percent of the total amount.
In fact, the lower the amount of the transfer, the higher the commission percentage is, and in amounts of hundreds of dollars to a few thousands, it can easily pass the 5%….

A wristwatch says a lot about the kind of person you are and this is why you need to pay proper attention to what you wear on your wrist. Robert Langdon and his Mickey Mouse antique watch may be suitable for someone of his stature, but certainly not for you if you haven't attained that stature. Hence, brand name could mean a lot for you when you decide to buy a wristwatch. The finest watch companies in the world are in Europe and the names of Panerai and Rolex are known by all the wristwatch lovers. When you get the chance to buy Panerai watches for sale or buy Rolex watches online, it is well worth looking and making a purchase.
Most people think that all the best watches in the world are manufactured by Swiss watch manufacturers. They cannot be held wrong for thinking like this because the Swiss watches are indeed among the best in the world. However, excellent wristwatches are not limited to Switzerland. There are watch manufacturers in the rest of the world that make equally magnificent wristwatches. Panerai and Rolex are the most glaring examples of this. Thus, when you opt for Panerai watches for sale or buy Rolex watches online, you wouldnt be making any mistake.
Panerai is an Italian watchmaking company that was founded in Florence in 1860. During World War II, Panerai watches played an important role. The frogmen of the Decima Flottiglia MAS were known to use Panerai watches as they battled with their enemies. But history is not the only reason why you should consider Panerai watches for sale. These wristwatches are created with the kind of efficiency that only a top company can show. Moreover, it is an Italian company and we know how the Italians are far more advanced when it comes to design. The other reason why Panerai is such a cherished brand is because all its watches are produced in limited quantities.
Rolex is an English watch company and was founded in 1905 in London. It is the largest luxury watch brand in the world and is ranked among the top 100 most powerful global brands. Roger Federer is the current brand ambassador of the company and this alone says a lot about the status and stature of Rolex. A Rolex on your wrist is bound to make you look special in the eyes of anyone. It is not a difficult decision to buy Rolex watches online because you know that there can be nothing wrong with the performance of these watches. You only need to buy from a well-known online seller. And you can save some money too.
Look out for Panerai watches for sale online or see if you can buy Rolex watches online because not every website offers this watches all the time. With either of these watches, you can make a difference to your personality. And dont worry about being special because not too many people around you would be sporting these brands.
Are you looking to buy Panerai watches for sale or planning to buy Rolex watches online? Please go ahead because both these watches have eternal appeals.

The Mayor's E+ Green Building Program is demonstrating, and proving, the feasibility of regenerative multi-unit residential buildings and bring energy and environmentally positive homes to Boston's neighborhoods. In September 2011, the BRA announced the winners of the E+ Green Building RFP. The three selected development teams will construct Boston's next generation of ultra-efficient, energy positive, deep green buildings on three city owned parcels in Highland Park and Jamaica Plain. For more information, see the BRA blog. In 2012, the City expanded the program with the addition of two new development sites in the Mission Hill and Highland Park neighborhoods and a community symposium, Envisioning E+ Green Communities, held on March 1st. This work continues with a Community Charrette on Saturday, march 10, 2012, from 9:00-1:00Pm, at the Reggie Lewis Athletic Center, 1350 Tremont Street, Roxbury Crossing; please join us. The Community Charrette is an opportunity for residents of Mission Hill and Highland Park to share and discuss important criteria (green building, sustainable development, arts, garden space and other quality of life values) that should be considered as DND/BRA prepare for request for Proposals in the future on the Parker and Terrace Streets site, and the Highland and Marcella Streets sites.

Falling Acorns Means It's Time to Hunt. Here's Why.
Falling acorns are an indication that now, more than ever, is a great time to go hunting.
During the fall season, a rich mast of acorns are produced by the oak tree family, providing sustenance for much wildlife.
This influx of food supply affects the entire ecosystem of the woods, and is a major factor for hunters to add to their tool box of hunting tactics.
When an oak tree has a heavy output year for acorn production, wildlife may be drawn in for miles to this single tree or patch of trees. Squirrels and birds are the first to profit from the acorn production up in the tree tops. The squirrels will eat any size acorn, but prefer the larger, more nutritious ones.
Birds, such as the American grackle, descend on the smaller, more beak-compatible acorns and fatten up for the fall migration. While the acorns are in the trees, the squirrels and birds have a natural monopoly.
When the acorns fall to the ground, a new rush of other wildlife species arrive. Wild turkey, deer, bear, and hogs will gorge themselves on these fallen gourmet delights.
This is the time to target these areas of heavier acorn accumulations. It's the best time to hunt, as the animals will be looking down at the ground and not up at the hunter in a treestand.
Watch for the larger acorns from such trees as the white oak. They are much larger and draw game more reliably than the smaller acorns from such trees as the red oak.
The acorns provide a distraction for the animals, allowing the hunter to reach an effective range. The feeding frenzy is such a diversion that I, personally, have been within touching distance from some of these animals while they were busy chowing down.
When the acorns fall, make sure you are out in the woods to maximize this special time of year. Your game tags will thank you.

» Ask Sander a question about Vancouver.
Although I spent a mere two weeks in Thailand, I feel I managed to sample a bit of everything the country has to offer, and might be helpful with some initial pointers on what to do and where to go.
» Ask Sander a question about Thailand.
I spent a year living in and travelling through (part of) Australia, and returned a couple of years later to hit spots I still managed to miss. I never made it further north on the west coast than the Pinnacles Desert, nor to Darwin (shame on me!), and avoided a lot of the more touristy spots on the East Coast, but other than that I explored most of Adelaide to Cairns, with emphasis on the Melbourne and Sydney area.
» Ask Sander a question about Australia.
I've lived in the Netherlands for most of my life. Which means I hardly knew anything about the country. And then I got to play tourguide for a friend who came over from the USA for two weeks, and suddenly I had a much better idea of what's worthwhile to do and where's good to visit. :)
» Ask Sander a question about Netherlands.
I've travelled extensively through California, and am reasonably familiar with Philadelphia and Chicago. All this was quite a while ago, so probably better not to ask me too detailed questions about practical matters. I should be able to help out some with pointers of what's worthwhile and what isn't, though.

I spent ten months travelling all over New Zealand on a working holiday visa, and have gone back thrice since, including two whirlwind tours of the best the country has to offer, playing tourguide for friends. I've travelled by bus, campervan and car. There's few places in the country I haven't been to, and many of the main highlights I've visited during at least two different seasons. If you're into beautiful nature and love hiking, ask me for suggested itineraries (or search the New Zealand forum for posts by me containing those). :)
» Ask Sander a question about New_Zealand.
I travelled through Norway for three weeks, seeing a decent part of the country (Hardangervidda / Jostedalsbreen / Svartisen-Saltfjellet, the Lofoten and Oslo / Bergen / Ålesund / Trondheim), although none of it was very in depth. Still, I should be able to help out some with pointers of what's worthwhile and what isn't.
» Ask Sander a question about Norway.
I explored a decent part of Peru during a month-long visit. Did the classic gringo trail (Lima, Arequipa (+ Colca Canyon), Puno, Cuzco (+ Inca Trail to Machu Picchu), and then went up north to Caraz to do some hiking in the Cordillera Blanca.

As caring people, we would like to accommodate your feelings on nudity. However, your expectation that we must always accommodate you, and you to never accommodate us, assumes a premise that your beliefs are honorable and correct and our beliefs are not.
Most of my friends and family intuitively understand this. When entering their home they say "make yourself comfortable … get naked". If I were dressed when they come to visit they would think something was wrong. When viewing family or vacation pictures they expect that they may encounter nudity and would not expect me to filter them. Often we have groups of people over to enjoy the pool etc. and often the group is mixed between clothed and unclothed. They are all respectful of each other and their respective beliefs. There have been a few family and friends that do not get it. They expect us to always make the accommodation.
For the purpose of exercising the openness of our minds please consider the following facts. There is a large number of people who believe that it is correct for any woman to be covered from head to toe and to be accompanied by a male family member at all times in public, otherwise she would be considered guilty for the resulting victimization that she endures at the behest of a gang of men. There are also a large number of people who believe that clothing should be worn at all times when around others. That not doing so is akin to pornography. There are a large number of people who believe that the human body is inherently decent and good and that arbitrarily covering it with clothing is unnecessary and unnatural, and the practice has negative and dangerous social and moral results. In practice there are gradients of beliefs between these depictions and beyond, but for the purpose of this comparison bare with me (pun intended).
Consider the following depiction …
Now open your mind to that fact that you might be in belief system 2 and you are being judged by belief system 1 to be wrong and immoral. You are expected to cover completely at all times to accommodate the beliefs of system 1. This [of course] includes beaches where you are expected to remain covered. Your belief system tells you that this is wrong and that it is immoral for those people to expect you to accommodate their beliefs, but alas you must because they believe you should.
Despite your indignation telling you differently, there is practically no difference between that comparison and the same comparison applying belief system 2 and belief system 3. Let's face it, you would not relinquish your rights in this way based only on the beliefs of other's– nor should you.
Now that our mind is a little more open, let's begin from the assumption of equality of beliefs and negotiate our position from there…
I will wear clothes when visiting your home if you will remove yours when visiting mine. Or conversely, I will wear clothes when you visit my home if you accommodate me with nudity when I visit your home. When out in a public place (Maintained for or used by the people or community) we each can wear as much or as little fabric as we respectively believe to be correct. I will not presume that you should remove your clothes to be allowed in a public place, providing you do not presume I should cover myself to be allowed to take advantage of the places we share.
Consider this comparison carefully as life has a way of changing. Your indignation and arrogance at being in belief system 2 at the moment may be less realistic if you suddenly find yourself to be the one who is fighting for your beliefs to be understood and accepted.

Update: Well, Lachana Williams has admitted to police that her intent was to steal a baby. Details from NewsNet5:
Police said Williams admitted to staging a fake pregnancy and even told her family that she was about to give birth. She also told police she was checking out hospitals to try and steal a baby.
Lachana Williams, who probably has no trouble drawing attention to herself just by walking around, drew double the attention when she hung around a hospital maternity ward even though she had no child there and was not a patient at the facility.
The lurking did not go unnoticed.
According to NewsNet5, Williams, 20, had been trying to make her way in the maternity ward of Barberton Citizens Hospital for about a week. Finally, on Wednesday, she made it in, but it wasn't long before hospital staff noticed her "acting suspiciously" and called the cops, pretty sure Williams was angling to snatch a baby and make a break for it.
She is being held on $250,000 bond after being charged with attempted kidnapping.

I don't understand all this Hebrew terminology. What are the different components of tefillin?
- Batim - the black leather boxes.
- Retsuot - the straps.
- Parshiot - the scrolls containing passages from Sh'mot (Exodus) and D'varim (Deuteronomy). They are inside the batim.
- Rosh - goes on the head.
- Yad - goes on the arm.
What are the differences between the various types of tefillin you sell?
- Katan - the tefillin boxes are 2.5 cm square.
- Gadol - the tefillin boxes are 3.0 cm square.
- Deluxe - the tefillin boxes are 3.0 cm square, but the construction is of higher quality (see below and check out the picture of deluxe in our store).
- The straps are the same length on all types of tefillin.
- The Katan and Gadol tefillin are written on mashuach parchment and are peshutim. The Deluxe tefillin are written on non-mashuach parchment and are peshutim mehudarim [see definitions below]. They are made of better leather and are designed to last a lifetime.
What does mashuach mean?
- Mashuach refers to a scribal practice developed about 200 years ago in which the parchment used for the parshiot is coated, making it smoother and easier to write on.
What is peshutim? What is peshutim mehudarim?
- Peshutim - the boxes are made from multiple pieces of leather that are glued together to form the boxes.
- Peshutim Mehudarim - the boxes are made from multiple pieces of leather that are connected by one additional piece of leather.
What is the difference between Ashkenazi and Sephardi Tefillin?
- There are 3 main differences:
- The Shin on the box:
- ASHKENAZI: 3 branches, pointy triangular base.
- SEPHARDI: 4 branches, a flatter, more square base.
The letters on the scrolls:
- ASHKENAZI: Less rounded; slight variations in the writing of certain letters.
- SEPHARDI: More rounded; slight variations in the writing of certain letters.
The knots on the straps (there are several differences, but the Rosh knots are easier to spot):
- ASHKENAZI: Knots tied to form a double dalet.
- SEPHARDI: Knots tied to form a single dalet.
What do I do if the strap around my head is too big?
- You can either ask your rabbi or the gabbai at your shul to adjust it, or you can call our office and we'll take care of it.
Help!! This is really confusing - I'm right handed. However, I know that tefillin go on the opposite arm. So, do I order right-handed or left-handed?
- If you are right-handed, order right-handed tefillin.
- If you are left-handed, order left-handed tefillin.
My child is going to become a Bar/Bat Mitzvah in a few weeks. What size and type should I purchase for him/her?
- It depends on your child and your community. If your child studies at a day school or if you often daven in an Orthodox environment, then we recommend the flat finish, which is most common in traditional communities. As for size, we recommend that parents order what is most suitable for their children. If your child is a regular shul-goer, you might want to consider the Deluxe tefillin. However, if there is a chance the tefillin will fall in the lake at summer camp, then buy a less expensive pair.
How long will it take to receive them?
- This depends on where you live. If you are on the East Coast, or in the Midwest, you can expect to receive your tefillin 1-1? weeks from the time you place your order. If you live on the West Coast or Canada, please give us at least 2 weeks from the date the order is placed. Customers in other locations should allow 3 weeks for delivery. Expedited shipping is available for an additional charge.
PLEASE NOTE: If you are ordering SEPHARDI or LEFTY tefillin, please add an additional week to the shipping schedule above. We keep a lower inventory of these on hand, and may need to place a special order. ALSO, if you have an upcoming Bar or Bat Mitzvah, or another deadline, we strongly advise that you order as early as possible, just in case we need to restock our inventory to fill the order.
What types of leather are acceptable for the tefillin boxes?
- Any kosher animal – cow, sheep, or goat.
Do you sell Gassot and Dakot tefillin?
- We are committed to providing inexpensive, quality kosher tefillin. Gassot and Dakottefillin are more expensive. If you are interested in Gassot and Dakot tefillin, please contact a scribe.

another original song, perfectly imperfect. if this doesn't melt your pant[ie]s off then you might be a robot. enjoy xx
Tag Archives: mtv
pharrell, we meet again.
if you set your mind on something, you really can achieve it [or a version of it].
i first met pharrell at an mtv vma afterparty in 2007 in vegas, snuck some red carpet photos & thought to myself, wait, i want to be officially invited to the vma's one day, soon, and not just as someone's guest. sure enough, come 2008, i was cast in mtv's bff show with paris hilton, & there i was, blondie, at the vma's in la and tokyo, side by side the top musical talents in the nation. even famous tokyo talents wanted to take a photo with me [moi?]. more about
all the drama my interesting experience on that show and its aftermath in a later post.
anyhey, on sept. 19th, the new yPlan app had their launch party in new york at finale, one of the newer clubs in ny that i enjoy revisiting occasionally, with pharrell performing several of everyone's favorite tunes. he looked quite smooth in his cool hat + ice creams + all that swagger, but his polka dot cardigan was what stole everyone's heart. this is not the usual party scene, so i was looking forward to who i might [not] meet. notable conversations of the night:
- "can i make you my client? i can get you out of trouble & i will be better than the attorney[s] currently representing you." [better than my sister & a greek god??] "no."
- "guess what i do for a living." "i don't know, from that sweatband you're wearing on your head, a marathon runner? a sushi chef?"
now, to set my mind on my next goals…in the meantime, i'll be searching for the perfect cocktail to share with you.

On the first day of the phase-I of West Bengal Assembly polls, residents of Chiruvita and Pialsol villages in Purulia district refused to cast their votes citing the government's inefficiency in fixing water scarcity and road problems in the village.
Mostly women, the protesters were seen shouting slogans and demanding their needs be met immediately. One of the women expressed how the roads are in poor condition, plagued with potholes and their difficulty in reaching the market area and even mentioned how its a lot harder for children to commute to school.
The first phase of the West Bengal elections saw people in 18 constituencies, out of 294, cast their votes.

by Tatame Magazine
Mauricio 'Shogun' Rua was recently interviewed by our friends at Tatame magazine. (interview by Eduardo Ferreira, translation by Ricardo Alonso):
Tatame: What really happened to your arm? What did the doctor say?
Shogun: I came into the fight with tendinitis in both my elbows, and during the takedown when I hit the ground my elbow dislocated. I ended up with a dislocated and fractured elbow and some torn ligaments. I just did an MRI but the doctor is still examining the results. We'll soon see if I'm able to take off this sling next week and start doing some sort of physiotherapy to recover soon.
Tatame: You hadn't fought since the final of the Middleweight GP in August of 2005. During that period you did seminars, took some time off, and commemorated the title. Do you think this negatively affected your preparation? How much time did you spend training for Coleman?
Shogun: At no moment did those factors negatively affect my preparation. I rested a little bit after the GP and then I returned to help Vanderlei prepare for his December 31st PRIDE fight against Ricardo Arona. After that I spent two weeks in the Unites States doing seminars, and I trained hard for three weeks to face Coleman. I was in my best physical condition, and for the first time I did not need to cut weight for a fight. I always have to lose about 10 kg (22 pounds), but I didn't need to lose anything this time. I don't think my injury happened because of my preparation, it was just an accident. I was certain that I was going to do a great fight with him, but I was unfortunate.
Tatame: Do you think you could have done something to defend the takedown?
Shogun: For sure, but during that moment everything happened very fast. When he got one leg I even started to sprawl so that I could pull out, but he got my other leg, leaving me without my base, and I landed on a bad angle. I saw that there's a lot of people criticizing me, saying that I don't know how to defend the takedown, but I think it's just envy from the people who don't like Chute Boxe and our unity. By the way, I'd like to leave a message for all my fans, can I do that?
Tatame: For sure Shogun, go right ahead…
Shogun: I wanted thank all my family, the Chute Boxe family, and to all my fans for all the support that they always give me. It's them who make me strong enough to beat all the difficulties and conquer all of my objectives. It's them who pass on to me that positive energy to realize all of my dreams. That's what I wanted to say. I just wanted to thank all of them very much.
Tatame: After the fight, did you all run into Coleman at all?
Shogun: We ran into him and he tried to apologize, but we did not accept. Master Rudimar (Fedrigo) then took me to the hospital because I was in a lot of pain, and I didn't see what else happened after that. But it looks like more chaos almost happened outside the ring. The adrenaline in the ring is incredible, but he said a lot of foolish things after the fight and showed no class in the ring.
Tatame: Do you want a rematch against Coleman?
Shogun: For sure I want a rematch against Coleman. When I am recovered from my injury, I will train with that fight as my aim.

If the version needed to change before shipping then it wouldn't be a release candidate. The goal of a release candidate release is to make something which, if no issues are found, can be shipped without modification.
OK, but then why an RC1, RC2, RC3? Why no distinction to tell? Why no automatic update to the next one? Also, don't they still need these newest ones TESTED before they turn into real shipping versions?

McCoist receives assurances that Whyte will not return to Ibrox
23:15 GMT, 6 April 2013
23:15 GMT, 6 April 2013
Rangers chief executive Charles Green has held talks with Ally McCoist to assure the manager there was "never any possibility" of Craig Whyte returning to the club.
The move comes after the former owner apparently claimed he was behind the original Ibrox newco.
Whyte has threatened legal action against Green and former Rangers director Imran Ahmad, demanding 1million a year for life or 25 per cent of Green's shares.
Talks: Rangers Chairman Charles Green (left) gave Ally McCoist (right) assurance
Whyte, whose own Rangers takeover remains the subject of a police inquiry, claims he was the main driver behind the Sevco 5088 company which purchased the assets and business of the oldco Rangers company he had put into administration.
Days later Green transferred the assets, which were bought for 5.5million in June last year, to a different company called Sevco Scotland which then became The Rangers Football Club.
Whyte's main argument appears to be that such a transfer was illegal and he remains the rightful owner of the club's assets.
Green released a statement last night in a bid to clarify the situation and has moved to explain things further this evening following talks with McCoist, who had asked the new owner for answers.
'I spoke with Ally McCoist today and we are agreed that, despite the wild and outlandish allegations tossed around by Craig Whyte, the one thing that matters most is the rebuilding of this club,' Green said.
'I am totally committed to that and Ally is exactly the same. Neither of us will be deflected from our task. We share the same goal and we will be successful no matter who or what attempts to get in our way.
Takeover talk: Craig Whyte
'I made it absolutely clear to Ally that there was never any possibility of Whyte returning to Ibrox and I also stressed that this man has no claim on any of the club's shares or assets.
'I wanted to make sure he understood what Whyte is trying to do because, like every other fan, our manager has a right to know if the disgraced former owner still has any involvement in this club.
'I told Ally that is not the case and that there was never any possibility of Whyte being involved with my group.
'Ally knows and accepts that I cannot be held responsible for Whyte's ramblings or his ridiculous claims. But Ally is a fan and he would have been alarmed at the re-emergence of Whyte and his claims.
'Along with all the good and loyal Rangers fans Ally has lived through the brief but calamitous Whyte era and the very mention of this man's name is enough to have even the strongest of them concerned. But there is no need for any anxiety.
'Rangers FC, no part of it and none of the assets will ever fall into Whyte's hands. If I have to I will stand at the front door and deny him entry.
'I can guarantee every single fan that I will not let them down and that Whyte has no claim on any part of this great club.'
McCoist added: 'Yes we spoke and I'm glad we did. I never believed that Charles had entered into any kind of agreement but it was important to have a chat after what the former owner had been putting about in the papers.
'I am a fan and it would be devastating to have this man back anywhere near the club he almost destroyed.'

Acetabular Retroversion
Acetabular Retroversion: While well documented in the literature as an orthopedic problem and as a reason for hip pain that is chronic, this kind of retroversion has not precisely been written about in the radiologic literature so it is often overlooked during hip x-rays. This is a problem that is caused by a specific type of dysplasia of the hip that is categorized by "posterolateral orientation" of the acetabulum that is atypical. This pathology can affect the patient to successive front impingement of the neck of the femur up on the front acetabular margin as well as the labrum fibrous. With no treatment, these cases can advance to damage of the front cartilage and labrum with the ensuing start early of osteoarthritic disease. This type of symptom has been designated as emerging in remoteness as a single problem or as part of an intricate hip dysplasia.

WE do not have to be exposed to the weather to encounter storms. Human experience is filled with them. We all feel weather-beaten and windblown at times. The wind of change brings about the splitting apart and breaking up of organizations and relationships we once relied on. Disease or death or disaster sometimes strike like lightning.
But hang on a minute! Some great, spiritually inspired leaders have said all along that we don't have to be victims. Moses made the bold and arresting statement "When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the Lord thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice . . . he will not forsake thee" (Deuteronomy 4:30, 31). Elijah the prophet found ways out of desperate situations. When the fiery-tempered Jezebel was seeking Elijah to kill him, he fled into the wilderness, so depressed that he wanted God to take his life. But he found his way through that stormy experience. And he learned that God is not in powerful material forces such as earthquakes, winds, and fires, but rather is in "a still small voice" within him. After that discovery, Elijah was obedient to this voice, and God's mission and purpose for him were revealed. His life was preserved from Jezebel (see II Kings, chap. 19).
Study of the Scriptures reveals that in atmospheric storms, as well as high- pressure living, God is always with us. God is Spirit. He is omnipresent and omnipotent. He is more powerful than any storm. And because man is His image, man is spiritual, not made materially. He has an unbreakable link with God. This gives us all the dominion over the earth that the Bible promises in Genesis (see 1:28).
Mary Baker Eddy discovered Christian Science. After studying the Bible and finding rules for demonstrating God's healing power, she taught students of Christian Science to distinguish between the material and the spiritual. She taught that Spirit, God, is the only real cause, and that man was created to do God's will. Obedience to God does give us power and strength. It is not surprising then that thunder-and-lightning experiences come when we are determined to have our own way. Influenced by the human mind, rather than by the divine Mind, we will be drawn hither and thither, often without realizing it. On the subject of hearing God's voice, Mrs. Eddy observed that there are only two possibilities. Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures says: "We are either turning away from this utterance, or we are listening to it and going up higher. Willingness to become as a little child and to leave the old for the new, renders thought receptive of the advanced idea" (pp. 323-324).
So how do we develop receptivity to God's voice? We can look to the life of Christ Jesus. He said, according to St. John, "I am the way, the truth, and the life" (John 14:6). Jesus was always telling people not to be afraid. He calmed a whole variety of storms-both literal tempests and the figurative storms of sin and disease. The healing and saving power of God that Jesus practiced is still with us today. Just as the Bible shows Jesus did, we also can turn away from any storm we are experiencing-turn to God in prayer and listen for the "still small voice." God's message will reveal itself to us in a way that we can understand. Everyone can attain the state of receptivity that brings spiritual intuitions, aligns thought with the laws of God, and brings healing and deliverance.
Once I was traveling in a small airplane that was in a storm. I felt sick, and desperate. I closed my eyes and prayed. In my prayer I declared to myself that I was not a mortal, battered by material forces, but was spiritual, the likeness of God. Then I listened. The thought came that God is Love, and I was in the atmosphere of this Love, which contained nothing evil. As I held on to this thought, the nausea I was feeling faded away. We landed safely.
The truth of spiritual being is the path through any storm you might encounter. Understanding this truth will prepare you to find the way.

When: December 31, 2017
AAG Marcus Fund for Physical Geography
Deadline: December 31, yearly
The objective of The Mel Marcus Fund for Physical Geography is to carry on the tradition of excellence and humanity in field work espoused by Dr. Melvin G. Marcus. Grants from the Mel Marcus Fund for Physical Geography will foster personally formative participation by students collaborating with faculty in field-based physical geography research in challenging outdoor environments.
Eligibility: Marcus Fund grants of up to $2,000 will be awarded to faculty applicants to support travel and logistical costs of including students in field research in physical geography. Student submissions will only be accepted if the faculty member writes an accompanying letter stating how she or he will work with the student in the field. The faculty member must join the student for a significant portion of the field work. In general, the award is intended to support the inclusion of one or more students in field-based research, but not an entire class. Research sites may include international as well as national locations. Marcus grant funds may be used to cover travel to the research site, as well as expenses related to the logistical support of the student, such as food, fuel and lodging. Student stipends are not eligible expenses under this grant. University or department overhead charges are not permissible budget items.
Criteria: The evaluation committee will select proposal(s) that in its judgment best address the objective of the fund as stated above. No awards will be made in years when funds are insufficient or if proposals are not suitable.
Applications: Digital submissions are required. All information must be entered on our online application form.
The form asks applicants to describe the research opportunity for the student and the manner in which the field experience will challenge the student to grow both personally and professionally. The review committee is aware that the personal experience and physical abilities of students will vary widely, and that what is challenging to one student may not be to another. Field experiences therefore may cover a large range of activities, so long as the outdoor experience will help the student to grow and excel in new ways. A budget and budget justification for the requested funds should be included on the form. The proposal should address how safety of the participants will be insured. The most successful proposals typically identify the individual students who will be involved in the study. Please view the application form before trying to submit, so that you have all information ready when you are ready to apply.
Submissions: Submissions must be sent using the online application form. In exceptional cases, paper submissions may be accepted, but only with prior approval (requests should be sent to email@example.com). Acknowledgement of receipt will be returned within a maximum of 2-3 business days. All applicants will be notified of the status of their submission within approximately 3 months after the deadline. Awardees may anticipate receiving their grants by late Spring, in time for summer scheduled activities.
Reports and Acknowledgment: By accepting an AAG Grant you agree to submit to the AAG Executive Director a brief (two-page) report that summarizes the project and documents the expenses underwritten by the grant. Please include photographs of the field experience. You should submit your report upon completion of your research. Please acknowledge AAG support in presentations and publications.
About Dr. Marcus: Melvin G. Marcus, past president of the American Association of Geographers and an internationally recognized physical geographer, structured his career around a balance of field work, theory development, teaching, and enjoyment of the geographic endeavor. Making physical geography accessible to everyone with a love of the outdoors, including women, minorities, and the less privileged, was one of Mel's life-long objectives.
To put this objective into practice, Mel created and oversaw programs that emphasized excellence in field studies and the translation of field studies into scholarly achievement. He also believed in socializing and relaxing at the end of a field day, and encouraged collegiality and creative expressions of the enthusiasm and joy that often accompany field work.
In his own career, Mel took students on research expeditions to the Yukon and Alaska (especially the Juneau and St. Elias icefields), the Himalayas, the Southern Alps, the Colorado Rockies, and the Grand Canyon, as well as many other locations. These expeditions were often life-transforming experiences for those students fortunate enough to participate.

"I dream of a 'missionary option', that is a missionary impulse capable of transforming everything, so that the Church's customs, ways of doing things, times and schedules, language and structures can be suitably channelled for the evangelisation of today's world rather than for her self-preservation"
'The Joy of the Gospel'. (Apostolic Exhortation of Pope Francis, 'Evangelii Gaudium'. 2013.)
The diocesan guidelines, 'Called to be a People of Hope', invite all within the diocese to deepen prayer, enable communion, and strengthen mission. Adult formation within Saint Edmund's seeks to support our parish community in living out this invitation by nurturing the faith and prayer of those who seek to understand their faith in a deeper, richer way.
Adult formation opportunities in the past have included:.
- A 'Catholic Faith Exploration', (CafE), course in the Autumn of 2007.
- A 'Searchlight' adult formation course in the Autumn of 2008.
- A series of meetings on the Catholic faith in 2009, with parishioners leading each session.
- A Lent course in 2010 on the theme of 'The Sacraments' with parishioners leading each session.
- An Advent course in 2011 based upon the BBC TV series 'The Nativity'.
- A Lent course in 2012 based upon episodes from the BBC TV series 'The Passion'.
- A Lent course in 2013 based upon on the Vatican II document 'Lumen Gentium', the Dogmatic Constitution of the Church.
- A Lent course in 2014 based upon talks by Father Raniero Cantalamessa, O.F.M. Cap. Preacher to the Papal Household.
- An autumn course in 2014 based upon the Apostolic Exhortation of Pope Francis 'The Joy of the Gospel', (Evangelii Gaudium). Further details can be found on 'The Joy of the Gospel' page here.
- A 'Catholic Faith Exploration', (CafE), course 'The Big Picture' in the Spring of 2017.
A group of parishioners have taken part in the diocesan Catechists' Formation Course.
Some parishioners have taken part in the diocesan course which had led to the Certificate in Pastoral Liturgy.
Saint Edmund's supports the process of the 'Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults', (RCIA), whereby those expressing an interest in joining the Catholic Church community are welcomed and supported by parishioners in their journey of faith. The Rite offers a process through which Enquirers are helped to find out more about the Catholic faith and our way of life, and to complete a period of formation leading to the reception of the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and the Eucharist.

Farm machinery has come a long way from Henry Krause's one-way plow.
But 101 years later, Kuhn Krause continues the mindset of the Kansas inventor - bringing high-tech farmers high-tech implements.
Kuhn Krause has evolved from the fledgling business that Henry moved from a small farm machine shop in Meade County to Hutchinson in 1928. Today, Krause is one of the world's top manufacturers of tillage equipment and grain drills and continues to increase its global footprint after being purchased by Kuhn North America in 2011.
"We're always looking toward the future for new product development," said Curt Davis, director of marketing for the Hutchinson agricultural manufacturer. "We have a plan to do continued research and development, interview customers and see what they are looking for - the challenges they face."
Among the current challenges facing farmers is the economy. Commodity prices have fallen from record highs set in the first part of the decade. With producers tightening spending, that, in turn, affects agriculture manufacturers like Krause.
Krause, however, has had its share of highs and lows over the past century in business and has weathered every bump. The current lows aren't like the 1980s, Davis said. And as workers continue to develop the latest tillage tools and other equipment to help farmers best manage their operations, the company is seeing positive movement.
"One reason our orders are starting to improve is because of the new products we've introduced the past six or eight months," Davis said. "We've introduced three new products and improved on several other products, and that is starting to drive a little more activity in the business.
"We're not new to this cycle," Davis added. "For a 100-year-old company and with Kuhn's involvement now, that has helped us weather the storm so to speak."
21st century machines
When Kuhn purchased Krause in 2011, the company already had a line of products aimed at helping farmers more efficiently manage their acres and conserve.
The company constructed a new, 75,000-square-foot building in 2012 to help continue that mission. Some of the company's 250 employees work here, including assemblers, welders and others. It also houses new technology - including a handful of robotic welder cells and other automated machines.
Among the products going out the doors are no-till grain drills, in-line rippers designed to maximize soil fracturing while leaving surface residue intact, and the DOMINATOR, which is one of the company's most popular items in conservation tillage - equipment targeted to corn-belt states.
The company's engineers continue to develop even more precision tools to help farmers not only be better managers and conservationists but also to maximize their time.
The latest is the Interceptor - a new high-speed tillage machine released at the Farm Progress Show in August. It runs two or three times faster than other conventional tillage products in the marketplace.
It also gives farmers better residue incorporation and a smooth seedbed, Davis said.
"It is a big efficiency gain for farmers to be able to cover more acres per hour and accomplish those tasks," he said
Moreover, it addresses another big problem in farm country - weeds.
"One of the things farmers are tasked with today is dealing with the chemical resistance in weeds," Davis said. "This machine directly addresses that. It is more aggressive and will kill weeds and do other things regarding residue management and seedbed preparation that farmers are looking for."
Krause has also updated the DOMINATOR. The new DOMINATOR 4860 is designed as a primary tillage tool after harvest - managing residue "in a fall time frame," Davis said.
The new DOMINATOR also allows farmers to accomplish more acres per hour with wider machines using the same horsepower, Davis said.
Another new tool launched this year is a cover crop seeder called the CCX 9000. Used with Krause's Excelerator vertical tillage system, the product provides farmers the ability to establish a cover crop while performing vertical tillage, thus saving time and money.
Davis said they've made other improvements to their equipment, including their disc harrows and field cultivators. That includes wrenchless adjustment for a number of products - meaning less time for maintenance.
"We've also put a lot of maintenance-free bearings in our machines that don't require greasing," Davis said. "That might save an hour every day, in most cases. And that can add to the productivity of our farmers."
