STUTTGART, March 5 (Reuters) - A German man has been convicted of running a pyramid selling scheme that duped investors out of at least $37 million dollars and sentenced to eight-and-a-half years in jail, a Mannheim court said.
Ulrich Felix Anton Engler was accused of using a Florida-based marketing company to lure investors between end-2004 and mid-2007, under the pretence of investing the cash on the New York Stock Exchange. In reality, he was running a pyramid selling or Ponzi scheme.
Prosecutors said they had evidence that 1,295 investors from Germany, Austria and Switzerland lost at least $37 million in the scheme run by Engler, who was arrested in Las Vegas in July 2012 and then extradited to Germany.
A pyramid or Ponzi scheme fails to make real investments which yield actual returns. A fraudster can keep up the appearance of delivering consistent returns by paying out cash to old investors by using funds from new investors.
A spokesman for the Mannheim court said Engler was convicted on Monday of two counts of fraud. He had agreed to plead guilty in exchange for a sentence of less than eight years and nine months.
An international arrest warrant was issued for Engler in 2007, but his whereabouts remained unknown until his arrest in Las Vegas. (Reporting By Hendrik Sackmann; Writing by Edward Taylor; Editing by Sophie Hares)

Midwives voices Needed!
Your voice is urgently needed: The WHO together with partners have drafted an action plan to end preventable newborn deaths (Every Newborn Action Plan). The draft is now online for a public consultation process with the deadline on the 28th of February. It is crucial that midwives have an input as the plan will affect midwives in their work and midwifery on a global level.
The Every Newborn action plan will provide everyone with a roadmap and joint action platform for the reduction of preventable newborn mortality. Linking the work of all stakeholders, it will enable policy makers and others to take action to accelerate national plans to achieve clear results for newborn survival, enhancing the achievement of wider goals for women's and children's health. It will define the role and responsibilities of stakeholders, setting out a vision, targets and objectives, with recommended key actions to implement based on proven strategies for change and the latest evidence on effectiveness, costs and expected impact of interventions.
Don't miss this opportunity to make your voice heard and make sure the midwife perspective is included in the plan! Click here to comment.

NJ SHARES' Celebrates
15 Years
NJ SHARES celebrates our 15th Anniversary with a program that will be shared around the state honoring our partners for the victories we have achieved. Together we have helped more than 177,500 households with $70.7 million in energy assistance and expanded assistance to include telephone and water programs. All the NJ SHARES' programs are recognized as a national benchmark by the National Fuel Fund Network and National Low Income Energy Consortium.
The program will be brought around the state and will aim to celebrate the NJ SHARES history through the eyes of founders, donors, and beneficiaries.
15th Anniversary Video Released
See how your donation to NJ SHARES helps your neighbors in need. NJ SHARES debuts a 15th Anniversary Video, featuring Barbara, an NJ SHARES recipient who has struggled without utility service while working as a hospice nurse and raising two boys. Barbara is a wonderful example of the thousands of households we've been able to help with our programs.

NJ SHARES marks 15 years since giving our first grant in November 1998. As we enter this season of reflection, I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our donor heroes. Through the generosity of our donors, partner agencies and supporters, we can celebrate the true impact made for 177,500 households over the past 15 years.
Anyone can face a financial crisis and it is important to note that most NJ SHARES grant recipients are provided to the working poor, those facing a temporary setback and those with vulnerable household members. A recent impact evaluation of our energy program indicates that 52 percent of those who received assistance last year had a child under age 18 and nearly 20 percent had a household member over 60 years old.
The report also tells us that our clients are working and still struggling with employment and under-employment issues as the reason they need our help. Of our 2012 grant recipients 80 percent had employment income, 11 percent reported receipt of unemployment compensation and 9 percent reported unemployment as reason for grant application.
The good news is our clients continue to work hard to meet their payment responsibilities after receiving help from us. We are pleased to report that most are successful in meeting this obligation and in the year following receipt of their grant, recipients paid an average of 85 percent of their current bills. In fact, 39 percent paid 90 percent or more than they were asked to pay. The second year after receiving a grant, recipients were even more successful in paying their bills, paying an average of 99 percent of their current bills with 46 percent paying 100 percent of the money they owed.
You make this impact possible! As we work together to help our neighbors who are facing difficult circumstances, we are grateful for your continued support.
Sincere thanks to our donors and corporate sponsors who have already donated more than $475,000 to NJ SHARES programs this year as part of our capital campaign. Our goal is to raise $500,000 by the end of the year. Help us reach this goal by donating to NJ SHARES today. Find out more by visiting: http://www.njshares.org/howYouCanHelp/index.asp.
Saint Vincent de Paul Society
NJ SHARES is fortunate to partner with more than 270 agencies around the state. Each organization has a different mission and focus but all provide holistic solutions to their community. This month we highlight the Saint Vincent de Paul Society.
NJ SHARES has partnered with the St. Vincent de Paul Society of the Diocese of Trenton since 2004. This partnership has grown to offer NJ SHARES programs through volunteers associated with 24 parishes who make home visits to folks who need assistance in Burlington, Monmouth and Ocean Counties.
Michael Hogan , Treasurer of the Holy Eucharist Chapter of the St. Vincent De Paul Society in Tabernacle, says, 'I've seen firsthand the difference NJ SHARES programs make for families who are working hard and through no fault of their own are struggling for a hand up. Partnering with the agencies that are on the ground in the communities enables NJ SHARES and St Vincent de Paul Society to do good work together'. Mr. Hogan currently serves on the NJ SHARES' agency advisory coucil.
The St. Vincent de Paul Society is a community of lay Catholics whose mission is to assist the poor and needy through prayer and action. Assistance is provided on a short-term basis as our goal is to return the family members to self-sufficiency and full participation in the community.
The society provides help with food, clothing, and furniture. It also can provide assistance with bills such as rent, heat, utilities and prescription medications, as well as providing referrals for counseling to community, state, federal and religious organizations and agencies. Funds are provided through Poor Box donations, selling supermarket certificates and through separate gifts. The society sponsors special food and gift programs for Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter which are supported by the generous contributions of their parishioners.
In the Trenton Diocese, the first St. Vincent de Paul conference was formed in 1859 in St. John the Baptist Parish, Trenton, which is now Sacred Heart Parish, Trenton.
Throughout the world, there are 700,000 men and women serving in St. Vincent de Paul Societies in 144 countries. In the Trenton Diocese, there are currently 50 conferences with some 1,181 members who share in the St. Vincent de Paul Society ministry of serving the poor and needy. In 2012, the Vincentians provided 129,205 service hours; made 3,782 home visits; 1,266 hospital visits and served some 66,607 people.

I think it is a picture of Francis in his school uniform. I'm sending the front of the picture and the back that has something written in Korean.
Pure Vanity.
I think it is a picture of Francis in his school uniform. I'm sending the front of the picture and the back that has something written in Korean.
I sent this photo to Francis already but I thought you may like to take a look. It was taken in Tijuana, Mexico during my freshmen year at Berkeley. Francis wanted to eat authentic Mexican food and bought something from a food cart vendor. He kept enticing us with smacking and yum-yum noises as he ate.
Then that night he was visited by Montezuma's revenge.
I wrote about voting in a historic election eight years ago. Since then, California has become more blue, there are even more political fliers, and the only thing the left wing can seem to agree with the CAGOP on is what this state needs is even more propositions on the ballot.
Even though, back then, I strongly suspected I'd be casting this vote eight years later for Hillary Clinton, I didn't realize how this day would hit me.
Marie got dressed in a pantsuit and we walked across the street to the community center to vote. Unlike me, she was homeschooled as a Christian conservative and voted for George W. Bush in 2004—her vote is more meaningful than mine.
But my vote wasn't mine, it was Mom's—not to celebrate or affirm women's right to vote or anything like that, but because I love her, she always admired Hillary Rodham, and, most importantly, because she only would go to the polls to cancel out Dad's vote. 😉
Not this time! I called Dad yesterday and he said he's with her—quite possibly his first vote for a Democratic candidate for President of the United States, definitely his first vote for a woman for that position.
I started blogging with the purpose to "write to create context for another to think" just after argument with my father about politics in 2004. He said:
"Nobody said democracy is perfect. It's just the best thing we've got. Terry, maybe you're right, and I'm wrong. But if you are, then have some faith in our system that the truths will come out. Have some faith that people can change. They just don't have to change on your timetable."
I honestly never thought Dad would change. But my father, with his vote with mom now, and a lifetime of past votes against, finally won an argument with "mom's lawyer": I have faith, and people can change.
No matter the outcome, this election reaffirms that faith in the conversation that is our democracy.
I don't care who you support, if you can vote, Vote!
Ever since Marie wanted to learn to program in 2009, I've wanted to write a book to help her. But I never could get started.
The National Novel Writing Month is November every year for just this purpose: to motivate people to put 50,000 words on paper (about the size of the novel, Slaughterhouse-Five), editor be damned.
I first heard about it in 2007, when I started using Scrivener, but dismissed it because the requirement that a novel be fiction. I only just found about NaNo Rebels, which allows you to customize the "50,000 words" into nearly any other creative exercise, including non-fiction. So yesterday, this was born:
Nowadays, I use Ulysses. I simply created a group in the software and set a 50,000 word goal and started typing away!
I don't know if I can finish since it's about a good sized blog article each and every day. We'll see how it goes. So far it's been a bit strange writing a book. For instance, I can't use my WordPress shortcode macros lest I ruin the word count.
Periodically, I'll dump the output to my blog, which you can track here. Wish me luck!
If you want to buddy up, I'm "tychay" there.
Here is family photo sans Aboji. I sent you this photo of us in our Seoul house in 1954. We had a large spacious house with tatami mats, heated floors and a large yard with a garden. Surrounding it was a cement wall for privacy. The back of the photo gives our names and ages. (The ages are Korean ages, meaning it is one year older than it is here in the western world).
It's a page from the Alumni magazine

The attached photo is of us at Kimpo airport waiting to board a flight to the USA. We all look miserable and sad because we are leaving life as we knew it back then. I remember the propeller plane, so loud. I remember waking up from a nap on the loud plane and heard my siblings talking to each other — hard for me to believe because they hadn't spoken to each other for more than a year (and used me as a messenger when they needed to communicate).
Here is a photo of the two cousins (Terry and Tammy) with Teresa and Seung
I got that sweater on a vacation to New Orleans when I was in grade school. I remember my father taking us down Bourbon Street and afterward my dad teasing my brother for "tripping all over himself." I myself wondered why all the people in the posters there were wearing black tape for clothing.

Kill Baxter by Charlie Human
English | 2015 | Urban Fantasy | 1.5 MB
The brilliant follow-up to the critically acclaimed Apocalypse Now Now.
The world has been massively unappreciative of sixteen-year-old Baxter Zevcenko. His bloodline may be a combination of ancient Boer mystic and giant shape-shifting crow, and he may have won an inter-dimensional battle and saved the world, but does anyone care? No.
Instead he's packed off to Hexpoort, a magical training school that's part reformatory, part military school, and just like Hogwarts (except with sex, drugs, and better internet access). The problem is that Baxter sucks at magic. He's also desperately attempting to control his new ability to dreamwalk, all the while being singled out by the school's resident bully, who just so happens to be the Chosen One.
But when the school comes under attack, Baxter needs to forget all that and step into action. The only way is joining forces with his favourite recovering alcoholic of a supernatural bounty hunter, Ronin, to try and save the world from the apocalypse. Again.

Undercoating provides rust protection for the underside of a vehicle and helps to dampen sound. It is most commonly employed in parts of the country where salt is used to de-ice roads in the winter or where there is close proximity to the ocean.
This protective layer helps prevent the increased oxidization of metals in the presence of saltwater. In vehicles that already have a rust protection coating (common in some models under five-years-old), the undercoating provides an additional layer of sound cushioning that helps to make the car quieter on the road. It may, however, impact the vehicle's fuel efficiency.

One Pound Gospel 4
April 20, 2009
Here's the last volume, which actually does wrap up with a conclusion. The conclusion is a recent addition to the series (2007, I believe), but it's always nice to see a writer going back to finish an old work. It also gives me hope that she'll one day conclude her fantastic Mermaid Saga series.
There aren't really any surprises here, but again, it's pretty awesome that she finished it. One thing that bothered me was Sister Angela's meddling relative. While I can understand Kosaku's stubbornness in accepting the fact that a nun isn't allowed to have a romantic relationship with a man, I don't know why the relative keeps trying to set her up. Sister Angela can be Kosaku's friend and keep going to his matches as long as she keeps shutting him down like she does, but that relative had no excuse to take her to host clubs and out on dates and stuff. And to add insult to injury, she would force Sister Angela to go, then blackmail her by saying she would tell the Mother Superior where she'd been. It was… bizarre.
Kosaku and Sister Angela's respective choices in the final story segment were most heartbreaking. Kosaku's because you knew he understood Sister Angela's position after all this time, and Sister Angela's because… well, just because. That's hard.
A fine ending, truth be told. I'm always pleased when my Takahashi series have a concrete conclusion.
This was a review copy provided by Viz.
One Pound Gospel 3
April 17, 2009
The announcement that Viz is going to release Rumiko Takahashi's new series simultaneously with the weekly Japanese chapters has caused me to break out a celebratory volume of One Pound Gospel. And if that weren't enough to celebrate, apparently Inu-Yasha is being released in a VizBig edition starting at the end of the year, which is as good a reason as any for me to start it.
Anyway. One Pound Gospel continues to deliver exactly what you would expect from it, which is sort of its charm. The first story is about Kosaku trying to lose weight and Sister Angela giving him a string with a hair in it tied around his finger in order to get him to keep his resolve. Kosaku, of course, assumes it's Sister Angela's hair. To keep things interesting, there's also a little kid staying at the gym who gets to stay in Tokyo and train to be a boxer only if he can land a punch on Kosaku (there are no real ulterior motives for this, he has to land a punch on the strongest guy). This is a pretty typical Takahashi gag where things keep interfering whenever the kid throws a punch. The last punch is pretty awesome, though, if only because this series is never serious.
The second story is about Kosaku getting all wound up about an eight-round match. He makes Sister Angela promise they can spend Christmas together if he wins, so he trains extra-hard for it. Amusingly, Kosaku bonds with his opponent as the only person that will eat the opponent's (apparently terrible) cooking. Their friendship was pretty neat, actually. A complication comes into play just before the match when the Mother Superior finds out the opponent has a gigantic Virgin Mary tattooed on his chest and says Kosaku can't spend Christmas with Sister Angela if he hits the Virgin Mary. So no body blows.
The last story is about a girl that looks like Lum who comes to stay with Kosaku, very much to his chagrin, when her boyfriend kicks her out for over-eating. But her story isn't quite what she thinks it is, or what anyone else thinks it is. Sister Angela gets the wrong idea about Kosaku and the girl, the girl's boyfriend is jealous and turns out to be Kosaku's next opponent… you see where this is going.
The stories are once again quite charming and subtle, but they are of a particularly mature and definitely acquired Takahashi taste. If you liked the first volume, you'll probably like all of them, but if you read it hoping something more would develop as the series went on… well, that just doesn't happen.
One Pound Gospel 2

I still like this series okay. It's an understated kind of good. Not fantastic, just kind of a good read. It continues as expected with more tales of Kosaku sort of… well, trying his best at training for boxing. I like that the stories in this series are longer with multiple chapters. In Ranma 1/2, the stories were usually only 3 chapters long.
Though it was brought up frequently, the weight limits weren't really the focus of this volume, at least for Kosaku. The first story in the volume was about a rematch with a boxer that Kosaku beat when he was first starting out, and the opponent has had a grudge ever since. He was actually a surprisingly great character. He had a good reason for fighting and a bunch of interesting personality quirks, like having a really nice customer-pleasing smile in place at all times at his job, then turning into a somewhat surly, angry young man other times. A lot of the story focuses on his problems instead of Kosaku's, and I liked it a lot.
The second story… well, apparently Kosaku thinks he can get Sister Angela to leave her convent if he wins his next match, as he's totally smitten with her and apparently doesn't understand what being a nun means. We do get to see Sister Angela out of her habit, and she looks unsettlingly like Akane from Ranma 1/2. Tied into this, Kosaku is fighting a boy who is terrified of boxing and likes to run away. The relationship between his opponent and the opponent's girlfriend is contrasted with Sister Angela and Kosaku.
Both stories offer a view as to what Kosaku's life would be like without first his trainer, then without Sister Angela. I liked the stress both situations put on Kosaku.
It's an enjoyable read, and I think a lot of people who enjoy old-school kind of manga would probably really like it, especially given the bizarre premise. Unfortunately, it can get a little repetitive since a lot of plot elements can repeat themselves. I like it a lot, and am very much looking forward to the last two volumes.

One Pound Gospel 1
October 9, 2008
You know, I should really, really read Maison Ikkoku. I like Rumiko Takahashi a lot, and this has put me in the mood for a longer series, but I don't really want to embark on the 50-some volumes of Inu-Yasha just yet. Plus, I hear that Maison Ikkoku is just awesome.
But for now, I was really surprised to see that One Pound Gospel got re-released this year, which pleases me to no end since it finally wrapped up in Japan last year and now I can read the whole thing beginning to end. This has always piqued my interest given the really bizarre plot (nun roots for somewhat weak-willed boxer), and a relaunch was quite unexpected.
It's been so long since I read anything by Takahashi I forgot how 80s her art looks (and is, in this case). Her art is actually just… well, her art, and can't be mistaken for anyone else. I… wouldn't say that Inu-Yasha looks particularly 80s, but you can definitely see it in an actual 80s Takahashi series like this, which is full of rounded faces, long hair (though there are surprisingly few females here), the style of the eyes, and just… well, the way she draws everything. I like really retro-looking art, and Takahashi is not exempt.
The plot is about as bizarre as I'd hoped. A naturally gifted boxer winds up being sort of a screw-up when he can't stop himself from eating and being overweight for all his matches. He often loses due to having to resort to crash diets frequently before fights, and whenever he over-eats when in training, he confesses his "sins" to a local nun. The nun winds up belittling him and urging him on to beat his control issues, and even roots for him in a fight or two.
The nun and main character have a somewhat tentative romance in place. I feel that this probably won't go anywhere, seeing as how she's a nun, but it's still cute the way they react to one another. There's nothing overt or anything about it, it's just a healthy relationship that seems to help the main character stick to his goals and become a success. The nun prays awful hard about boxing, and there are some jokes about this (often she receives bad omens, like her crucifixes breaking, when she prays for the main character's success), but her devotion is somewhat touching.
The plot of the series, that the main character struggles to stay in his own weight class, would be somewhat uncomfortable if the practicality for boxing hadn't been addressed near the end of this volume. I recall my pity for my high school's wrestling team, the members of which were constantly in a state of losing weight. The last story in this volume deals with allowing the main character to gain enough weight to jump up several weight classes to welterweight. He does this with relish, but then the story goes on to explain that if you weigh more than your build allows, any extra weight will simply feel like dead weight and will slow you down as you're trying to fight. This cleared up most of my misgivings on the subject since that makes a lot of sense, but… you know. I still feel bad for the wrestling teams across the nation.
There's some comedy, but it's mostly a story about the coach being disappointed with the main character, the main character screwing up again and again, and then being pushed to do his best in the end by both the nun and the coach. It's simple, but it stays pretty positive throughout, and I think I can pretty much unconditionally love anything by Rumiko Takahashi, so yes, this was a great read for me.

JPatch is work in progress and is neither feature complete nor mature (that's what the 0 in 0.3, 0.4, 0.x is trying to say ). The 0.4 preview actually fixes some bugs of 0.3, but on the other hand contains a lot of new or reworked code that has not been thoroughly tested, so it might have some yet undiscovered new bugs. Save often and make backups of your model/animation files to minimize the risk of loosing your work (that's a general recommendation for all versions of JPatch, altough I never ran into a problem that was not recoverable)
Sorry to go off topic, but if I create a model in the preview, save it, and I find a bug that keeps me from working on it, would I be able to open that model using an older, more stable version? I haven't found any error like that, but if it's not backwards compatible, I won't bother with backups very much
sascha wrote:The backup advice is just in case JPatch would corrupt the data when saving it (although I've never seen that, I can't rule it out). I'll add an automatic backup feature to future versions (that makes a copy of all files it overwrites).

Liam Gallagher's clothing label Pretty Green has announced a collaboration with the reissue of The Who's Quadrophenia – The Director's cut.
To mark the collaboration' Pretty Green has designed a limited edition parka made legendary by Jimmy from the Quadrophenia album cover. The album tells the tale of a young mod and his struggle to come of age in the mid-1960s.
The Parka has been an iconic image since the album was released and Pretty Green is planning to revive it with 100 limited edition jackets costing £500 each, available from the Pretty Green Carnaby Street store.
Says Liam Gallagher: "As I'm a massive fan of The Who, and Quadrophenia being one of my favourite albums of all time, it's an honour to be associated."
Pretty Green will also be showcasing Pete Townhend's archives of notes, desk diaries, photos and original lyrics from the making of Quadrophenia alongside album artwork and outtakes in a never been seen before exhibition at their flagship store in London's Carnaby Street. The exhibition opens to the public on Thursday 27th October.

Lamb Chops with Rosemary Potatoes
It's officially turning into snowing/sleeting/freezing-raining season in New York lately. And when that happens, all I really want to do is get home, light some candles, throw on a comfy old college hoodie, put on some music, and cook a super simple, hearty dinner, preferably composed of some sort of meat and potatoes combo. Also, preferably to be eaten while firmly ensconced on my couch, watching an episode of Revenge, or some other such guilty pleasure. Perfect for these cold November nights. xo
Lamb Chops with Rosemary Potatoes
From Canal House Cooks Everyday
5 medium potatoes, peeled and quartered
2 lbs lamb chops (shoulder or rib)
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
3 large sprigs fresh rosemary
Put the potatoes in a large pot of salted cold water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and cook the potatoes until they are barely tender, 5-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Season the lamb chops well with salt and pepper. Heat a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. When it's hot, add the olive oil, then put the lamb chops in the skillet. Cook in batches, if necessary, to brown the chops (crowding the skillet will braise them instead). Cook until well browned, about 5 minutes, then flip and cook for about 3 minutes for medium-rare. Transfer the chops to a plate and keep warm in a very low oven, if you like.
Add the garlic and rosemary to the sizzling oil in the skillet, reduce the heat a bit if the garlic is browning too quickly, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the potatoes in one layer, season with salt and pepper, and cook undisturbed until they have developed a nice crust, about 5 minutes. Continue to cook, turning only occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and golden brown on all sides, 10-15 minutes. Serve the chops with the potatoes, garnished with more fresh rosemary, if you like.

8 years! Who would have thought that I would keep posting year after year. When I started blogging it was just a way to share small projects that we were doing. My goal was to share my little slice of life and work. That is still the goal.
8 Reasons Why After 8 Years I'm Still Blogging
- I want to share my unique view of life in a tiny house; living a relentlessly authentic life.
- I want to help small businesses and small towns do better at what they do every single day.
- I want to explore what makes me excited and have the desire to share that with the big wide world.
- I want to inspire myself, motivate myself, and grow as a person.
- I want to build community through a common thread.
- I want to connect to a larger world while living in a rather isolated location.
- I want to become a better storyteller, writer, and communicator.
- I want to make more connnections for myself, my business skills, and other people.
It feels good to say I have been doing this for 8 years. It also feels good to know I have been doing it my own way. I haven't tried to morph my blog into something it isn't. If you read this blog you are meeting me exactly where I am. I don't pretend to be something I'm not - this is the real deal and I am so happy to be here!

Soybeans and Oil Crops: Policy
The 2014 Farm Act repealed the Direct Payments (DP) program, ending nearly 20 years of fixed annual payments. Payments were calculated based on historical production (base) acres and yields, and were paid to producers regardless of whether their farms faced losses. The 2014 Farm Act also repealed two other programs: Countercyclical Payments (CCP), which provided payments to producers on historical base acres and yields but were triggered by movements in current prices, and the Average Crop Revenue Election (ACRE) program, which provided payments to producers when their revenues fell below benchmark levels.
Under Title I of the 2014 Farm Act, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Farm Service Agency (FSA) will operate two new crop commodity programs—Price Loss Coverage (PLC) and Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC)—along with the Marketing Assistance Loan Program, which continues almost unchanged.
Under Title XI of the 2014 Farm Act, Congress established several new programs aimed at providing support for revenue or yield losses smaller than those covered by most traditional crop insurance policies. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Risk Management Agency (RMA) will administer two new programs—the Supplemental Coverage Option (SCO) and the Stacked Income Protection Plan (STAX)—in addition to the traditional crop insurance program.
Title I—Crop Commodity Programs
For more detailed information on these Title I programs, see Crop Commodity Program Provisions – Title I.
- Price Loss Coverage (PLC): Producers who hold base acres of wheat, feed grains, rice, oilseeds, peanuts, and pulses (covered commodities) are eligible to enroll in the PLC program on a commodity-by-commodity basis. Payments are made when market prices fall below the reference price set in the 2014 Farm Act. The reference prices for oilseeds for 2014-2018 crops are:
Soybeans $8.40 per bushel Other oilseeds $20.15 per hundredweight Peanuts $535.00 per ton
- Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC): Producers who hold base acres of wheat, feed grains, rice, oilseeds, peanuts, and pulses (covered commodities) are eligible to enroll in ARC on a county or individual farm basis. County ARC payments are made when county crop revenue for the enrolled commodity drops below 86 percent of the county benchmark revenue. Individual ARC payments are made when the actual individual crop revenues, summed across all covered commodities on the ARC farm, are less than 86 percent of the ARC individual benchmark revenue.
- Marketing Assistance Loan Program: A post-harvest nonrecourse commodity loan program with marketing loan provisions for producers of wheat, corn, grain sorghum, barley, oats, upland cotton, extra-long staple (ELS) cotton, long- and medium-grain rice, soybeans, other oilseeds, peanuts, wool, mohair, honey, dry peas, lentils, and small and large chickpeas. When market prices fall below loan rates, marketing loan provisions allow for repayment of loans at the lower price and for loan deficiency payments to producers who choose not to place commodities under loan. The loan rates for oilseeds are:
Soybeans $5.00 per bushel Other oilseeds $10.09 per hundredweight Peanuts $355.00 per ton
- Eligibility requirements and payment limitations: In order to receive some types of commodity program payments, individuals must meet eligibility requirements based on the level of their participation in farming activities and on their income. Once individuals are eligible, payment limitations cap the total amount they can receive.
Title XI—Crop Insurance Programs
For more detailed information on these Title XI programs, see Crop Insurance Program Provisions – Title XI.
Under the 2014 Farm Act, traditional crop insurance continues and the Supplemental Coverage Option (SCO) is made available to producers for covered commodities for which they have elected to participate in the Title I Price Loss Coverage program. Producers who elect to participate in the Title I Agriculture Risk Coverage program for a given crop on a given farm cannot purchase SCO for the same crop on the same farm.
Benefits under the Federal crop insurance program, including the SCO, are not subject to the eligibility and payment limitations that govern Title I crop commodity programs.
- Supplemental Coverage Option (SCO): The SCO is available starting with the 2015 crop and will offer producers the opportunity to purchase area-based insurance coverage in combination with traditional crop insurance policies.
- Traditional crop insurance: Producers can purchase insurance policies at a subsidized rate under Federal crop insurance programs. These insurance policies make indemnity payments to producers based on current losses related to either below-average yields (crop yield insurance) or below-average revenue (revenue insurance). Both yield and revenue insurance options are available:
- Yield insurance plans: APH (Actual Production History) protects farmers against yield losses due to natural causes such as drought, excessive moisture, hail, wind, frost, insects, and disease. Catastrophic Risk Protection Endorsement (CAT) coverage provides a lower level of coverage on yield losses at a low cost to producers. Area Risk Protection Insurance (ARPI) policies use county yields as the basis for determining a loss. Dollar Plan coverage pays for both quantity and quality yield losses and is limited to some high-value crops (e.g., fresh market tomatoes and strawberries).
- Revenue insurance plans: Revenue Protection (RP) provides protection against a farmer's gross revenue (i.e., price times yield) falling below some guaranteed level. A version of the Area Risk Protection Insurance (ARPI) uses county yields instead of farm yields when calculating revenue coverage levels and actual revenue. Adjusted Gross Revenue (AGR) coverage insures the revenue of the entire farm rather than an individual crop by guaranteeing a percentage of average gross farm revenue, including a small amount of livestock revenue.
Export and Food Aid Programs
Export programs administered by USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) help promote and facilitate purchase of U.S. agricultural products in foreign markets. These programs include the Export Credit Guarantee Program, the Market Access Program, and the Foreign Market Development Program.
Export credit guarantees help foreign importers facing foreign exchange constraints and needing credit to purchase commodities. The Export Credit Guarantee Program (GSM-102) underwrites commercial financing of U.S. agricultural exports by guaranteeing repayment of private, short-term credit for up to 24 months. The Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) does not provide financing, but guarantees payments due from foreign banks, which allows U.S. financial institutions to offer competitive credit terms to foreign banks.
The Market Access Program (MAP) aids in the creation, expansion, and maintenance of foreign markets for U.S. agricultural products. MAP forms partnerships between USDA's CCC and nonprofit trade associations, cooperatives, trade groups, or small businesses to share the cost of overseas marketing and promotional activities. MAP partially reimburses program participants for these activities, which include consumer promotions, market research, trade shows, and trade servicing.
The Foreign Market Development Program, also known as the Cooperator Program, aids in the creation, expansion, and maintenance of long-term export markets for U.S. agricultural products. The program enlists private-sector involvement and resources in coordinated efforts to promote U.S. products to foreign importers and consumers around the world. CCC funds are used to partially reimburse cooperators conducting approved overseas promotion activities.
The U.S. Government provides food aid overseas through the P.L. 480 program, the Section 416 program, the McGovern-Dole Food for Education and Child Nutrition Program (FFE), and the Food for Progress (FFP) program. Under P.L. 480 Title I, USDA makes concessional sales that provide low-interest loans to qualified developing countries purchasing U.S. commodities. Generally, commodities shipped under Title I are purchased on the open market by the recipient country. The Title II program, administered by USAID, donates commodities to least developed countries. The Section 416(b) program provides for donations of CCC-owned surplus commodities to developing countries. It also allows surplus CCC commodities to be used for the purpose of P.L. 480 Title II programs and the FFP program.
The McGovern-Dole Program helps support education, child development, and food security for some of the world's poorest children. The program provides for donations of U.S. agricultural products, as well as financial and technical assistance, for school feeding and maternal and child nutrition projects in low-income, food-deficit countries that are committed to universal education. Under the Food for Progress Act of 1985, U.S. agricultural commodities are provided to developing countries and emerging democracies committed to introducing and expanding free enterprise in the agricultural sector. Commodities are currently provided by donation to foreign governments, private voluntary organizations, nonprofit organizations, cooperatives, or intergovernmental organizations.
Environment and Conservation Programs
The 2014 Farm Bill continues support for conservation practices on agricultural land. For more information on these programs, see Conservation Programs.
To remain eligible for nearly all agriculture-related farm program benefits, including farm commodity programs, crop insurance premium subsidies, conservation programs, disaster assistance, farm loan programs, and other benefits, farmers cropping highly erodible land are required to implement an approved conservation plan and to be in compliance with wetland conservation provisions. Producers who choose to till native sod that has not been previously tilled receive reduced crop insurance premium subsidies and limits on the yield or revenue guarantee available during the first 4 years of crop production.
ERS Topic Highlights and Policy-Related Research
The core research and data program of the Economic Research Service covers the breadth of USDA programs touched by farm legislation: farming, nutrition, conservation, rural development, research, and energy. For an overview of the 2014 Farm Bill and links to related pages on the ERS website, see Farm and Commodity Policy and the Agricultural Act of 2014: Highlights and Implications.

So, after a delay of a day and lame excuses from UPS, the case finally arrived and I got to break it. This was a beast of a break. It's just a ton of cards and it's going to be a lot of work to make back the money from this case. I think I'll need to stick to things like Chrome and Finest in the future.
There's no way that I was going to scan all of the Cognac Liquorfractors from each box. Here's a random sampling of 9 for your viewing pleasure. If there are any particular players that you're interested in, you can see if I pulled him in the video or drop me an email and I'll let you know.
Three series in and these cards still look great. The pictures really pop off of the sparkly background. It's easy to see why they've been so popular even though there's no serial numbering of any sort.
I think the gold parallels have finally run their course. Serial numbering this high doesn't mean a thing and at this point these cards have just become pack filler. People are chasing the unnumbered Diamond parallels more than these.
These aren't terrible looking cards, but they haven't grabbed my attention either. It's a given these days that Topps is going to load up the flagship set with a ton of insert sets. It's true of all of the sports. The mix of legends, veterans and prospects makes this set an interesting one.
Another thing that you're going to see in Topps flagship sets are insert cards with two players on them. The pairings don't always make sense and it's strange when Topps seems to pair up players based on religion, but that's Topps for ya.
This is the only insert set that I'm going to complete and keep in my collection. I love what Topps did with these cards. The complete set has a great checklist as well.
The ToppsTown cards are actually kind of tough to come by in this set. You get either a Duos or ToppsTown card in each pack. The Duos set is 30 cards and the ToppsTown set is 50 cards so this is a tough set to complete. You don't even get enough cards in a case to do it.
Here's the hits from the box. I think I still have Sale autos form the Chrome break. If so, maybe they'll sell together in a lot. The Belt Black Parallel numbered to 60 is a nice pull. Serial numbered Yankees are always nice since there's always interest and the Molitor is just a great looking card.

Facebook To Student: That'll Be $300 For Nothing
Max says he used Facebook Ads to direct traffic to his computer repair service, and is baffled that the Zuckerberg Death Star is charging him nearly $300 despite receiving only eight weekly page views during the ad campaign — down from his usual 10 weekly hits. A $50 credit helped defray the costs, but he's still stuck with a $245.17 bill.
He writes:
Many sites online accuse Facebook Ads of various bad practices and I don't want to assume bad faith as they do but I haven't had a single new call as a result of their ads and I don't believe that they ran the campaign as they said they did. I always ask each new client how they came to me, it's been all references from pre-existing clients for over two years now when I stopped hanging flyers. Not a single new client since 11/13 has asked about or responded to the offer I had for a substantial credit towards my services. I have tried contacting Facebook but there is no contact info on their site and they have ignored several submissions on web form. What can I do? I'm a graduate student doing this on the side to support myself and so it should go without saying that the money is a significant sum for me.
If you've dealt with Facebook Ads, tell us about your experiences, and please share any advice you have for Max.

Kensington High's baseball team. But trying out for the team comes with complications—the captain,
Aaron Seever, doesn't want a girl on the team.
Adding to her new life, she never counted on meeting someone who wants her as badly as Kade Maxwell.

But getting involved with him may be dangerous when Kade's arch-nemesis returns to town to settle a vendetta.
To complicate matters, her PTSD has taken a turn for the worse. She has to find a way to push away the demons otherwise she may not have a chance at anything in life.

Understanding The Neuroplasticity Impact On Chronic Pain Management
Posted on July 7, 2015 by Dr. Steve Grinstead
Many of the people I see who are suffering with chronic pain have been living with their condition for many years. Many times these people have been told there is nothing wrong anymore e.g., the surgery was a complete success, the MRI or X-Rays show no problems. And yet the pain continues. In some instances this may be due to a neuroplasticity effect. Please watch my Video Blog and then read the remainder of this post.

This example shows a barebone program to illustrate how to incorporate displaying EULA to user in an Android App. User can only proceed with using the app if he or she accepts the EULA. Once accepted, EULA will not be shown next time.
This Eclipse screen shot below shows the structure of the directories and the required files. Please review this.
1. Download Eula.java file from http://code.google.com/p/apps-for-android/source/browse/trunk/DivideAndConquer/src/com/google/android/divideandconquer/Eula.java?r=93
2. Content of EULAExampleActivity.java file is give below in its entirety. This is just skeleton code intended to illustrate the displaying of EULA in your actual program.
package com.EULAExample;
import com.EULAExample.Eula.OnEulaAgreedTo;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
public class EULAExampleActivity extends Activity implements OnEulaAgreedTo
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
//display EULA - intended for one time display if user accepts it.
if( Eula.show(this) == true ) //...Proceed UI creating and further only if user accepts EULA
//..Move setContentView to onEulaAgreedTo() function, see below
//..Nothing else goes here -- move all UIs, etc to onEulaAgreedTo() method
} //End of onCreate
public void onEulaAgreedTo()
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
//Log.d("EULAExample", "1. inside onEulaAgreedTo");
//..move all you UIs, etc. hire -- do not keep anything in onCreate()
//Log.d("EULAExample", "2. inside onEulaAgreedTo");
} //end of onEulaAgreedTo method
} //End of outer class
3. Add these to the res\values\strings.xml file:
<string name="eula_title">End-User License Agreement</string>
<string name="eula_accept">Accept</string>
<string name="eula_refuse">Refuse</string>
4. Google the web for a sample EULA file. Modify as needed. Prepare a EULA file (a text file, Notepad can be used to create and save it). Drag and drop it under assets folder while in Eclipse. Important: EULA file cannot have any extension -- file name is simply, say, EULA
That must be it. Let me know if any problem.

2008 Economic Impact Report details the statewide economic impacts of wildlife-related activities in Colorado. This report updates the
2004 Economic Impact Report (as revised 9/2008) with 2007 data for hunting and fishing and 2006 data for wildlife watching.
The Colorado Parks and Wildlife updates the economic impact model approximately every five years.
Information in this report is based on hunting and fishing license sales, surveys, equipment sales, lodging information, and other expenditures associated with wildlife-related activities.
This type of information is frequently requested by the public in order to communicate the value of wildlife-associated activities. The results can also offer state and local policy-makers a better understanding of the economic impacts of wildlife-related decisions.
The report concludes that hunting and fishing generated an estimated $1.8 billion for Colorado's economy in 2007 and wildlife watching generated an estimated $1.2 billion in 2006. In addition, hunting and fishing supported approximately 21,000 jobs statewide while wildlife watching supported an additional 12,800 jobs.
