Barbara Carrera (Bond Girl) - Genuine Signed Autograph #7
Barbara Carrera[3] (born Barbara Kingsbury on December 31, 1945)[1] is a Nicaraguan-born American film and television actress as well as a former model. She is best known for her roles as Bond girl Fatima Blush in Never Say Never Again and as Angelica Nero on the soap opera Dallas.
Kingsbury began a career as a model at the Eileen Ford agency at the age of 17,[8] at which point she changed her last name to her mother's maiden name, Carrera.[3] In 1972, she appeared on the screen in a publicity role for the Chiquita bananas.[11] Her first film role was as a fashion model in Puzzle of a Downfall Child (1970), which fared poorly at the box office. In 1976, she earned her first Golden Globe nomination for her role in The Master Gunfighter.[12] She later played in such films as The Island of Dr. Moreau, Lone Wolf McQuade, Condorman, Point of Impact, Tryst and Embryo. For her portrayal of the villainess Fatima Blush in the James Bond film Never Say Never Again, she earned a 1984 Golden Globe nomination for "Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture".[13] She worked opposite Laurence Olivier in Wild Geese II the next year.
On television, she played a part in the soap opera Dallas as Angelica Nero, and more prominently, in the historical miniseries Centennial in 1978 and Masada (opposite Peter O'Toole and Peter Strauss) in 1981. These roles brought her to the mainstream attention of American audiences. She also starred as Emma Coe Forsayth in the miniseries Emma: Queen of the South Seas in 1988.
Carrera has appeared on the pages and covers of such magazines as Vogue, Paris Match, Harper's Bazaar, and twice posed in Playboy (March 1982).[14] She was nominated for a Golden Globe for her role in The Master Gunfighter in 1975.[13] In 1997, she was appointed ambassador-at-large for Nicaragua by then President Arnoldo Alemán.[15] She is also an artist and her work has been showcased in the Makk Galleries in Beverly Hills, California since the 1980s, and the Roy Miles Gallery in London, England. In May 2002, her works were exhibited at the Hollywood Entertainment Museum and have typically been sold for up to $8,000

Rama Burshtein is the first Orthodox Jewish woman in Israel to make a feature film for a non-Orthodox audience. But she says Fill The Void is about feelings, not religion. Wendy Mitchell meets the director
With her award-winning Fill The Void, Rama Burshtein becomes the first Orthodox Jewish woman to make a feature film in Israel for the wider community.
The story delves into the world of an Orthodox Jewish family in Tel Aviv. After her sister dies in childbirth, 18-year-old Shira is pushed to marry her sister's husband to keep him and the baby in the family.
It is not only a powerful family drama, it is a glimpse into a world that has never before been seen on screen from an insider's perspective. "We are mute, we have no voice in the art world, and definitely in the cinema world, and everyone is interpreting us," Burshtein says of the Orthodox community. "For me it was about just having that voice. The story is really the second thing I was thinking about. It's a window."
Hadas Yaron delivers such a powerful performance as the conflicted Shira that she won the best actress prize at Venice.
That is not the film's only accolade: it is also the Israeli submission for the foreign-language Oscar, it played in the Toronto, New York and London film festivals and won seven honours at Israel's Ophir Awards.
Artificial Eye will release in the UK; Sony Pictures Classics has US rights (The Match Factory handles sales).
The success is especially impressive as it marks Burshtein's first feature film for wide audiences. She has spent the past 20 years teaching cinema and making films within the Orthodox community, including some films for women only. For Fill The Void, she got her rabbi's blessing to work on the project.
The story itself sprung from reality. Burshtein attended a wedding about seven years ago, when she was introduced to an 18-year-old girl who had been recently engaged to her former brother in law. "I met about 17 cases [of similar matches], and there are a lot more. It's so natural for a young girl to fall in love with the only man that's in her home that is not her brother," she says, during an interview with Screen at the BFI London Film Festival.
"I started writing it because I'm a writer before everything and I wrote it very fast. Then it just took time to convince people they should put their money on me. I'm 46, I'm religious, I'm a mother, who am I? So that took time." Secular producer Assaf Amir helped to get the project off the ground.
Shooting in her hometown of Tel Aviv, she says: "I was very scared. Every day I walked from my house at five o'clock in the morning to the set, and I was crying the whole walk, begging for help and begging for peace. And I guess it worked because it was beautiful. It was a beautiful experience, it really surprised me. People who were on the set who had been doing films for 30 years were surprised too."
One key piece of the puzzle was bringing on board Yaron, who offers a nuanced yet impassioned take on Shira. Yaron was just coming out of the Israeli army when Burshtein recruited her for the film. "When I met her, it was just bingo, and we knew that it wasn't her being an actress, it's her being Shira, being that character." The director continues: "It is not even what she does, it's more about what she feels. It's mostly about feelings and feelings and feelings, and that's international, that's not religious. This is about life."
Next, Burshtein is working on a series for Israeli TV, with a loosely translated title of Going Through The Wall, about a woman whose fiancé cancels their wedding, leaving her determined to carry on with the day and find a new groom. It will be another key wedding for her to shoot. "I am all about weddings. I'm all about love," Burshtein says with a smile.

On this Independence Day, there's a good chance you have barbeque on the brain. The holiday is certainly about patriotism. But let's face it, it's also about burgers and brats.
With the wildfires around Colorado and the ongoing dangerous conditions, fire safety is also top-of-mind this year, and for good reason.
While there's a ton of fun to be had today — along with good eats from the grill — remember that people are injured and property is damaged every year in grill-related accidents, with July Fourth typically being the day more fires are reported nationwide than any other day of the year.
So as you go forth and grill today, take these fire-safety precautions to ensure a delicious and incident-free holiday.

After surviving my very first Day in the District, I am happy to report that it was quite an experience. Saturday's event coincided with National Museum Day, and Fort Worth's entire Cultural District threw open the doors to their museums, their gardens, (and even their log cabins) to give the public a day of free admission and live entertainment. It was an opportunity for visitors to experience much of what Fort Worth has to offer, as well as providing a chance for the locals to get out and savor familiar surroundings all over again.
In fact, I was astounded by the sheer amount – and variety – of experiences that the event was capable of producing. The Modern alone hosted performances by The Texas Boy's Choir, The Fort Worth Jazz Orchestra, Fort Worth's local Contemporary Dance troupe, and film shorts by The Butterfly Connection. And that wasn't even taking into consideration the art exhibits: it was the final weekend that the William Kentridge: Five Themes exhibition was going to be on display, and the permanent collection, as always, was a big hit. People of every age entered our doors: families with children, high school and college students, and groups of adults, all of whom were eager to see, experience, explore as much as they could.
The flow of people between museums also provided the opportunity to compare and contrast common themes between exhibitions. For example, I was struck by the way that Kentridge's Journey to the Moon, and Philip Haas' film The Butcher Shop (which was on view at The Kimbell Museum) dealt with the subject of artistic inspiration in such strikingly different ways. Kentridge portrays his search for inspiration as deeply personal and introspective; it involves scrutinizing books, pacing around the room, and imaginative flights of fancy...occasionally to another planet. In contrast, Haas' video installation depicts an actor (representing Annibale Carracci, painter of the piece which inspired the film) intensely studying the action that surrounds him, immersing himself within the butcher's shop and making periodic pauses to note specific images that would eventually find their way into some of his later works. This duality between exhibits allowed the public to engage with a variety of works in multiple museums, while finding common links between them.
However, many experiences inspired by Day in the District were much less complex. While providing wrist bands to visitors, I was approached by a young girl around six or seven years old. She produced a small photo album within which, with painstaking care, she had organized a collection of postcards depicting art works from various museums. Thumbing through the pages, she suddenly stopped and pointed to a postcard representation of Melissa Miller's The Ark, a piece in the Modern's permanent collection: "I'd like to see that one, please."
I offered to take her directly to the piece, and once we rounded the last corner and Miller's menagerie was in sight, I witnessed one of those moments that causes warm fuzzy feelings in the hearts of all art professionals: The clear blue eyes of the young girl lit up, and her lips widened into an incredulous smile. "Whoa…! It's so big! Look, Mommy, look at the animals…!"
Unable to suppress a smile myself, I left the girl and her bemused mother in front of the painting, but I knew (and, could occasionally hear) similar experiences happening all over the building. There were the occasional gasps of "Wow!" or "Cool!", but equally poignant were the silences of internal epiphanies, of thoughts shifting and rearranging themselves in the heads of so many. Day at the District was, overall, an experience about the experience...about experiencing a cultural area, about the thoughts and feelings it inspired. It was about creating one "Whoa" moment after another.

A question I often get asked is whether a thank you letter is stuffy and unnecessary in our new, liberal modern age. My answer is always, most definitely, no. There will never be a time when a thank you letter of any sort is no longer needed…at least, I certainly hope not.
As a child, my parents would tell me that if I didn't send thank you letters then people would not want to give me a present next time. Whilst this parental hyperbole is not strictly true, they do perhaps have a point. A thank you letter is a gesture that you are actually grateful with the present you have just received. Simply saying thanks on the day is just not enough. They have gone out of their way to buy you a present, so a quick (doesn't have to be lengthy) note to say thank you is hardly laborious. I do know someone who does her thank you letters by telephone. If you do choose to do it this way (which is better than nothing) make it a decent length call: first to say thank you but then ask about their family/life etc.
Thank you letters should also be sent after you have received any form of hospitality, and preferably the very next day. Emails are acceptable if you really cannot bear to write, but be clear that text messages are no way to communicate your thanks.
The same basic principle applies in the heady world of business. The rule used to be that if you received a letter today, a reply would be sent tomorrow or at least the day after that. Even in these times of budgetary and manpower constraints, some form of acknowledgement should be given. It tells the sender that you have successfully received their correspondence and you are dealing with it. Even the new-age email has the function for a 'read receipt' to be sent back to the sender.
Not many people bother to respond to business letters (or emails) anymore, which is quite frankly wrong. One of the golden rules of manners is to make people feel valued and appreciated. A letter saying 'thank you for your letter dated X, which we received today/yesterday…. we will get back to you shortly' will do. "But that costs money!" I hear you cry. If the sender has included their email address on their letter, then a similar electronic letter can be sent.
Whilst we're on the subject of business correspondence, we should remind ourselves how to open and close a formal letter. If I were writing to someone I did not know (and by that I mean them as a person, as well as their name) then I would open my letter with 'Dear Sir' or 'Dear Madam' (or even both – 'Dear Sir or Madam'). I would then close it with 'Yours faithfully'. On the other hand, if I were writing to someone to whom I knew their name, then I would start it with, 'Dear Mr. Smith' and close it 'Yours sincerely'. These are simple rules that once learned should never be forgotten.
It is never acceptable to start a letter to a client with "Hi William", as my bank once did. They won't be doing that again. Nor do I favour "Dear William Hanson" which appears more and more frequently and suggests mailmerge has been used.
In any event, remember that if someone has made an effort to write or email you, it takes very little time, money or energy to respond and you never know what dividends it will pay later.

YORKTOWN HEIGHTS, N.Y. -- A service dog can make all the difference in the world to a family with autism.
BluePath Service Dogs, based in Hopewell Junction, is hosting its first annual walkathon at FDR State Park in Yorktown Heights on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The walkathon will raise funds to support the organization's mission to provide autism service dogs to families in need.
The organization began last year to help meet the needs of the community after Guiding Eyes folded its autism guide dog program. According to the CDC, 1 in 68 people has autism, including 1 in 40 boys.
"With this many people affected, something needs to be done about it," Tricia Zarro, BluePath's Board Chair and whose son Danny, has autism. "I've seen the difference a dog can make."
Growing up, Danny was nonverbal, and Zarro was concerned about him running off. When she acquired a service dog, she said she felt like she had her life back.
"He can participate more," Zarro said. "It started more conservations, people wanted to know about his dog. It helped ease him into social situations. The dog has helped reduce anxiety."
Zarro said BluePath makes sure to match the child's needs with what the dog is able to provide.
"The dogs are so smart," Zarro said. "They go to the person in need. When my daughter had strep throat, even though she didn't have her service vest on, he never left her side. They are very intuitive. We just feel lucky and happy to have her."
BluePath is currently training puppies and interviewing people who might be interested in obtaining a service dog. BluePath said it will provide a dog to anyone within a 3-hour driving distance.
Walkathon registration includes a BluePath event t-shirt. Adult walkers are $30; children under 13 years old are $20. For more information or to register, visit www.bluepathservicedogs.org.

Soup is in these days (yes, you might rightfully ask: when was it ever out?) If cool cities like Portland are an indication, soup is having a moment. I've seen hardy entrepreneurs load homemade soup into specially crafted thermal boxes fitted on the racks of their bicycles for delivery to hungry people around downtown Portland, sometimes with freshly baked bread on the side. I know there are lots of other cool cities with soup carts and bicycles but I'm just speaking from my personal experience in that particular one.
My sister-in-law lives in Portland, which is arguably the food truck capital of the world. And also maybe the rainy day capital of the world, so it makes a lot of sense that the demand for warm, comforting bowls of soup would be higher given the situation. When she was visiting recently, we talked about how we don't seem to treat soup as a full meal. Or rather, I realized that I don't. She goes out to the soup cart for lunch, after all.
It's something I mean to change. I might even call it a New Year's resolution – to make more soup! My son loves nothing more than eating soup, with the very strong exception of soup containing any form of seafood; so I know I have at least one taker.
This homey egg drop soup – stracciatella – is as Italian-grandma as it gets. Except for I don't remember either of my Italian grandmothers making it – a loss I can easily get over now that I'm a big girl.
You might know what happens to eggs when mixed with hot liquids, but the magic of this soup is that combined with fine semolina, they turn a basic broth into a creamy soup filled with "tiny shreds" of egg, the stracciatelle. I added some potato and kale to my soup to make it even more of a nourishing meal. It must be the Italian mama in me or something.
Egg drop soup with kale and potato
Yield 4 servings
The semolina flour swells as it cooks, giving the soup a creamy consistency. I like Asiago here; it's like a combination of Parmesan and Pecorino Romano, but Parmesan will be just delicious.
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
- 2 small Yukon Gold potatoes, diced (about 1 cup)
- Salt
- 1/2 onion, finely chopped
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons semolina flour
- 2 tablespoons freshly grated Asiago or Parmesan cheese
- 1 1/2 cups finely shredded kale
- Heat the oil or butter in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add the potato and cook for 2 minutes; stir in the onion with 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook for a few more minutes.
- Pour in 1 cup of the broth, lower the heat, cover the pan and cook until the potato is soft.
- Whisk together 1 cup broth in a bowl with the eggs, flour and cheese.
- Add the remaining 2 cups broth to the pan and bring to a boil.
- Slowly add the egg mixture to pan, whisking constantly; turn the heat down to low and continue whisking for 2 minutes, until the soup thickens.
- Stir in the kale. Serve in bowls with additional cheese, if you like.

I use both. I find that getting large websites indexed in Bing will require submitting an XML Sitemap to Bing webmaster tools regardless of how good your site architecture it. Alternatively - I always use Google Webmaster Tools. Primarily for the messages sent directly from Google, duplicate titles/descriptions and lab tools.
I'm ashamed to admit that I don't use Bing Webmaster Tools at all. On second thought, no I'm not.
My philosophy is to optimize for Google first and foremost. Bing organic referrals are a like icing on the cake but not a significant focus in the grand scheme of marketing.
Hugo - Thats exactly how I look at it too. It's not until I noticed the issue with indexing did I start messing with Bing. As mentioned earlier though its just with extremely large sites. Bings search spiders just aren't as sophisticated as Googles.
Google Webmaster Tools is the source I use most often. Since GWT integrated domain/site access with profiles already granted access to Google Analytics, it has become the the easiest to activate. Bing Webmaster Tools can be a pain to activate and sometimes, depending on the site data contained in BWT, not worth it over just using GWT alone.
Now all that being said, I do like Bing's tool set and would use it way more if it was easier to activate.
I like some the of functionality in Bing Webmaster Tools, but in my opinion their user interface is horrible, one of if not the worst webmaster tool interfaces out there. If they would clean it up and make it easier to use and segment and filter data I would use it more.
I am constantly amazed at how much work they continue to put into adding new functionality and data points yet continue to ignore the UI.
The UI definitely falls short of anything that could be considered enterprise level worthy.

The amount includes all hunts targeting the Wedge Pack, which is believed responsible for killing or injuring 16 calves last summer belonging to the Diamond M Ranch in Stevens County. During a four-day period in September, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife spent $22,000 to kill six wolves in the pack using a helicopter and a marksman. The aerial hunt was more efficient than an earlier ground-based effort, which consumed 39 days, cost $54,500, and resulted in only one wolf being caught and killed, state officials said. The cost estimates were in a department letter sent to state Sen. Kevin Ranker, chairman of the legislative committee overseeing the Department of Fish and Wildlife. Ranker, an Orcas Island Democrat, has criticized the department's decision to remove the entire pack. He's planning a hearing during the legislative session that starts in January to review the decision. Future department actions to remove an entire pack are likely to be extremely rare if they occur at all, said Madonna Luers, a Fish and Wildlife department spokeswoman in Spokane. "Our director (Phil Anderson) has said that he never wants to do this again," Luers said. "… The social acceptance is just not there." Wildlife officials said wolves in the Wedge Pack had become habituated to preying on cattle, but the decision to kill all pack members remains controversial. People protesting the department's actions showed up at last month's Fish and Wildlife Commission meeting in Olympia, which had to be moved to a larger hearing room. Anderson and three other department staff were recently in Montana's Blackfoot Valley, where ranchers, government agencies and nonprofits are working to reduce wolf/livestock conflicts. When a wolf pack starts to prey on livestock in the Blackfoot Valley, government officials there move swiftly to locate the pack and shoot a couple of wolves from the air as they're feeding on the carcasses. The goal is to send a message to the remaining wolves that livestock aren't viable prey. Washington officials will try out the method during future livestock depredations, Luers said. "You hit (the wolves) hard and early," she said. "They're smart animals and they're pack animals" that adapt to what's happening in their environment. Wildlife officials are also stepping up use of nonlethal methods for keeping wolves away from livestock. The department and Conservation Northwest, an environmental group, already share the cost of a range rider in Northeast Washington to protect livestock from predation by the Smackout Pack, Luers said. As part of its legislative proposals, the department has suggested hiring a wildlife conflict specialist to work with Northeast Washington ranchers. The specialist could work on projects with bears and cougars as well as wolves, Luers said. After the killing of the Wedge Pack, a dozen wolf packs remain in Washington. Wolves are re-establishing themselves in the state nearly a century after they were exterminated through hunting, trapping and poisoning. The new wolves are migrants from Canada and from other states. When the state was developing a wolf management plan, officials estimated that Washington would spend about $400,000 on wolves annually. The state has spent about $376,000 on wolf activities this year, including culling of the Wedge Pack. Money for wolf management in Washington comes from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and state funds through the sale of specialty license plates.

Medicine in the Civil War: Part Three -- The U.S. Sanitary Commission
Shortly after the Sanitary Commission was founded, it ordered supplies for the troops from the Quartermaster's Department. The Commission ordered three million yards of flannel, eight hundred thousand pairs of boots, eight hundred thousand pairs of wool socks, two hundred thousand felt hats, and two hundred thousand haversacks (which are bags with straps that soldiers can use to carry supplies). These supplies were given to soldiers who had lost their own supplies they had brought from home. Unfortunately, this did not stop a shortage from occurring altogether. Soldiers often had to wear the same clothes for weeks on end. In a letter to the Sandusky Register in 1862, Dr. McMeens stated he had worn the same pair of socks and shirt for three weeks.
Unsanitary conditions in camps led to the spread of disease. In a letter from Dr. McMeens in 1862, he discussed what happened to dead horses after a battle. They would lie on the ground for days. This would cause diseases to spread. Getting water was also a problem. Water sources often would have dead horses or cattle laying in them. This made the water undrinkable.
Women who could not leave home collected and made supplies. This included bandages, candles, and cooking. Relief associations were established to bring women together to make these items. The Sanitary Commission served as the head of these and helped orchestrate what supplies were needed and where they would go. In the April 27th, 1861, Sandusky Register, Captain H.G. Depuy of the Sandusky Guards wrote a letter thanking a Mrs. Wilkinson for a donation of 100 rolls of linen strip bandages. "Should we be called upon to meet the enemy in the field of battle many a youth will be saved to bless the donor." Letters such as this appeared in the Sandusky Register throughout the war, as well as appeals for supplies such as fish or fruit, and appeals for donation drives.
There were also articles in the newspaper instructing women on how to make different medical supplies for the front. The most important one was cloth bandages for soldiers to carry with them to use when wounded and trying to get to a hospital. The instructions said that the cloth should be washed, boiled and ironed without starch; and that there should be no hem. There were three types of bandages that were used the most. The first was a "roller" that was two and a half inches in width, and made of cotton. It could be used for anything. This type of bandage had to be tightly rolled up for easy application. There was another cotton bandage that was larger and referred to as a "many tailed bandage". It was typically 20 by 20 inches and was used for gunshot wounds. The last type of bandage was made of muslin, not cotton like the others. It was one square yard and could be used to bandage anything and make arm slings.
The Sanitary Commission also helped soldiers return to life after they were out of the war. It would hold sanitary fairs for the public to learn about keeping clean. It also would help outfit ships to become hospital ships.
The Sanitary Commission ended when the war did. The remaining funds were used to purchase bonds. The interest from them was given to disabled soldiers to help support their families. The Commission was a precursor to the American Red Cross. Many people who were with the Sanitary Commission such as Clara Barton helped found the Red Cross.

Please allow me to correct some comments in your post.
You say shortly after they started, the USSC just called up the Quartermaster's Dept and ordered hundreds of thousands of boots, socks, hats, and haversacks, and 3 million yards of flannel. Didn't work that way. The USSC's mission was to care for the VOLUNTEERS. The regular Army had enough supplies to care for the Regular Army troops. They just weren't prepared for the onslaught of all the volunteers. The USSC was trying to supplement Army supplies. The Army didn't HAVE all this extra to give the USSC. Donations had to be sought elsewhere. Women were sought to make hospital clothing for the wounded and to supply needs of the doctors. The foods they collected were likewise used for treating the injured soldiers, not to just regularly feed and clothe the troops.
The article gives the impression that bandages were issued to the troops for use if and when they were wounded. Bandages WERE needed in huge quantities at the hospitals, whether stationary or mobile field hospitals. They were used by the doctors to treat the wounded just as they would be today.
The purpose of the sanitary fairs wasn't for people to learn about keeping clean. The fairs were basically huge craft/art/agricultural fairs held to raise money to buy materials and medicines and to supply money to run the facilities the Commission had created.

Fallout from the Vreba-Hoff Dairy bankruptcy continues, with the auction of more than 400 acres of Lenawee County land scheduled Sept. 20.
An auction is also planned that day in St. Joseph County near Leonidas to sell 370 acres of land.
A farmhouse, barn and outbuildings are also on the auction block at each location.
The sale will be used to pay off a portion of the $9 million debt owed to creditors by Midwest AG Investments, the real estate subsidiary of Vreba-Hoff Dairy Development.
According to an article in the Adrian Daily Telegram, Lenawee County Circuit Judge Timothy Pickard approved an order in July to clear liens from titles in order to fast-track a sale. This would help the court ordered receiver, Amicus Management of Grand Rapids, Mich., take advantage of farm land prices that are currently running high.
Real estate agent Gene Beaverson of Fayette wasn't yet familiar with the land scheduled for sale, but he's seen agricultural land selling at prices much higher than even two years ago.
Recents sales in the Fayette-Archbold area have brought prices above $6,000 an acre, Beaverson said, but that was for land that was all tillable.
Halderman Real Estate Services of Wabash, Ind., is conducting the sales. The St. Joseph County land will be auctioned first, with a sale scheduled at 1:30 p.m. Sept. 20 in Leonidas. The Lenawee sale will follow at 6:30 p.m. at the Christian Family Center in Adrian.
Two of the Lenawee tracts are located southeast of Jasper on Treat Highway. The land was purchased several years ago when a 5,000 head dairy was proposed.
Another tract is located on Packard Road near Munson Highway. Two other tracts are located along U.S. 127 near Packard Road. Tillable acreage in Lenawee County totals about 300 acres. The farmhouse is located south of Packard on U.S. 127.
In addition to facing unpaid fines for environmental issues through the State of Michigan, Vreba-Hoff faced foreclosure last fall when the mortgage company Rabo Agrifinances sought payment of $55 million in loans.
Southern Michigan Dairy, a subsidiary of Rabo, later became the court-appointed owner of the farms.
STILL PROBLEMS—Large dairies with liquid manure systems have operated in the Hudson area since the first Vreba-Hoff facility was constructed in 1997. Ten years ago, after several cases of manure draining into streams, members of the Environmentally Concerned Citizens of South Central Michigan (ECCSCM), began a water monitoring project near manure application fields. The project tested water for E. coli bacteria and dissolved oxygen levels, two indicators of water quality.
The ECCSCM monitoring project of 2001-2003 documented several streams at risk from field application of liquid manure. The Department of Environmental Quality investigated, and in 2004 the DEQ placed two streams draining former Vreba-Hoff property on Michigan's list of "impaired waters."
Since then, no agency has done routine water testing. This led the ECCSCM to wonder how streams are faring today.
Volunteers began re-testing some of the same sites for E. coli and dissolved oxygen over the summer.
The first sampling on July 12 found E. coli bacteria counts as high as 52,000/100 ml at one site–52 times higher than Michigan's standard of 1000/100 ml. for partial body contact. Two other sites also violated the water standard for E. coli with counts of 12,000 and 4,000/100 ml.
"Some agencies tell us practices have improved, the bad actors are gone. But the first test results don't support that," said Janet Kauffman, coordinator of the water monitoring project. "We'll have a better idea what's what in a few months."
The group will monitor several sites every other week through the fall.
Total monitoring data is posted on the group's website: www.eccscm.org.

Holy crap.The New York Times has a new multi-page feature on Mohamed El-Erian, CEO and co-CIO of PIMCO.
One startling nugget from reporter Geraldine Fabrikant's piece was El-Erian's paycheck, as well as the paycheck of founder and co-CIO Bill Gross.
Indeed, even by the standards of Wall Street, where many financial types pull down eye-popping paychecks, Mr. El-Erian and Mr. Gross make gobs of money. Mr. El-Erian, 53, was paid about $100 million last year, according to a person with knowledge of Pimco's finances who spoke on condition of anonymity because the firm, a unit of Allianz, the big German financial company, doesn't disclose compensation.
To put that in perspective, Jamie Dimon, the chief executive of JPMorgan Chase and one of the most powerful figures in American finance, got a quarter of that. Mr. Gross, 68, made about $200 million last year, according to the person with knowledge of Pimco's finances.
It's good to be the co-bond king.

Arizona Cardinals Honor Pat Tillman, Veterans
By Donna Miles
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Nov. 13, 2006 - The Arizona Cardinals commemorated Veterans Day during yesterday's game by paying tribute to former teammate and fallen soldier Pat Tillman, as well as five Tuskegee Airmen and a Navy Reservist recently returned from duty in the Middle East.
Tillman became the 11th person inducted into the Cardinals' "Ring of Honor" during halftime at the Cardinals-Cowboys game at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Tempe, Cardinals officials reported.
The team honored Tillman, who left the team to become an Army Ranger, during a six-minute video tribute that concluded with Tillman's name being unveiled on the Ring of Honor on the east side of the stadium at the 50-yard line.
Fans attending the game got their first look at the new Pat Tillman Memorial, officials said. It includes an 8-foot-tall, 500-pound white bronze sculpture of Tillman and a circular reflection pond on a plaza surrounding the stadium known as the Pat Tillman Freedom Plaza.
The memorial is full of symbolism, officials noted. A 42-foot-long black concrete wall symbolizes Tillman's jersey number at Arizona State University. To the west of the memorial stands a grove of 40 oak trees that symbolize the jersey number Tillman wore as an Arizona Cardinal. The Cardinals retired the number during a halftime ceremony Sept. 19, 2004.
Tillman, a three-year starter for the Cardinals, left the team before the 2002 season to become an Army Ranger. He was killed in Afghanistan on April 22, 2004, in a friendly-fire incident.
U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command is conducting an extensive investigation into the incident and is expected to present its findings to the Defense Department inspector general later this month, Army officials said.
Fans at the event said they were happy to see Tillman honored for his service. "I never actually met him, but I watched him, and he is the ultimate hero -- no doubt about it," the Arizona Cardinals Web site quoted Kim Peterson from Scottsdale, Ariz., as saying at the ceremony. "I think it is great what the Cardinals Football Club has done and for him to give up a football career to help serve our country. You can't even put it into words."
In addition to Tillman, the Cardinals honored five Tuskegee Airmen during a pre-game ceremony. Recognized at the event were Col. Dick Toliver, and Lt. Cols. Bob Ashby, Asa Herring, Charles Cooper and Thurston Gaines.
Team members and fans also honored Navy Petty Officer Mark Smith, recently returned from a one-year tour in the U.S. Central Command area of operation. Smith, a sergeant with the Phoenix Police Department, serves with a Naval Reserve Seabee battalion in Texas.

Most Anticipated 2013: Jeff's Picks
The editorial team at Shacknews outlines their most anticipated games of 2013 individually, starting with staff writer and indie expert Jeff Mattas.
There's a lot to be excited for in 2013, and the Shacknews staff each have five games on their radar. The editorial team at Shacknews outlines their most anticipated games of 2013 individually, starting with staff writer and indie expert Jeff Mattas.
Grand Theft Auto 5
Two trailers, a handful of screenshots, a so-Cal setting, and multiple playable protagonists are just some of the top reasons that Grand Theft Auto 5 is one of my most anticipated games of 2013. Rockstar is still one of the kings of open-world mayhem, and it's really looking like the developer is poised to give the size and scope of GTA: San Andreas a run for its money. With any luck, Rockstar will also fold in some important improvements—both presentational and mechanical—from some of its more recent games like Red Dead Redemption and Max Payne 3.
The fact that the game is set in Los Santos--a fictional recreation of Los Angeles--is a huge draw for me, and based on the early trailers, the facsimiles of my neighborhood landmarks really capture the look and feel of the area (often with startling accuracy). Despite being very familiar with the series to-date, I'm also excited about the as-yet-unrevealed info about GTA V, which will undoubtedly trickle out to torture us in the months leading up to its release at the end of Q1.
BioShock: Infinite
Failed utopias, FTW! Irrational Games is forsaking the oceanic depths in its next entry in the BioShock canon, and I simply can't wait to experience all that the floating city of Columbia has to offer in BioShock: Infinite. Part of why I loved the original BioShock was its thematic underpinnings which explored what happens to an underwater utopia when Ayn Rand's Objectivist philosophy is played out to its logical conclusion. (Spoiler: Things get ugly and violent.) In Infinite, the developer is settings its sights on the arguably more controversial tropes of racism and religion—topics that rarely rear their heads in mainstream games. That's an automatic plus, in my book.
Even if the idea of a game honing in on complex issues of morality leaves you a bit cold, have no fear. There will still be plenty of shooting to go along with the story, bolstered by Vigors (Infinite's treatment of the powers in the previous BioShock games, called Tonics), and the classic-American themed artwork is sure to tickle your fancy if you're into alternate-future fiction. Plus, you get to shoot dudes while zipping around on the city's rollercoaster-like travel system, which sounds like all kinds of awesome.
Watch Dogs
Other than what was shown in the nine-plus minutes of footage revealed at E3 2012, not a whole lot is known about Watch Dogs, a new game set in an open-world city that employs some really cool-looking hacking-based gameplay. It turns out that the trailer was also being used as a recruiting tool to attract developers interested in helping the game come to fruition in 2013. The game seems like a high-concept and intentionally-poignant take on where the modern Digital Age might take us. I'm personally very optimistic about the new type of stealth-based gameplay that's promised by a device which allows players to manipulate just about any electronic item in the world—from stoplights to cell phones.
Ubisoft has recently upped its game as a rival of Rockstar when it comes to open-world fare. Assassin's Creed 3 and Far Cry 3 were both very impressive in this regard, which also plays into why Watch Dogs is one of my most anticipated games of 2013.
The Last of Us
My excitement for Naughty Dog's The Last of Us goes beyond the gorgeous trailers and gameplay footage that have been revealed since the game's first trailer was shown at the 2011 VGAs. Rather than just making another iteration of Uncharted (an excellent series, in its own right), The Last of Us takes a decidedly darker tone to go along with its setting in post-apocalyptic Pittsburgh. The game promises plenty of action, but the developer has promised that the game will be much more focused on survival than gunplay. Very limited ammunition and plenty of opportunities for stealth are bound to encourage a gameplay style that differs from Nathan Drake's exploits in a number of significant ways.
I'm also a big fan of the dynamic between the two main characters, Ellie and Joel, which sort of reminds me of another great character duo from 2012's The Walking Dead—Clementine and Lee. I'm expecting an emotionally-charged, tense experience that will hopefully provide some interesting thematic commentary about the human condition. A little less Hollywood bombast and a bit more subtlety. I just hope the fungal-zombie tie-in isn't too ridiculous.
Beyond: Two Souls
Say what you will about Quantic Dream's Heavy Rain, but I thought took some pretty interesting risks when it came to narrative delivery and failure-based consequences. The next game from David Cage's studio, called Beyond: Two Souls, looks like it's going to learn some important gameplay lessons from its predecessor, while improving upon the near-photo-real actors and performance capturing technology. Sure, now that games like Heavy Rain and L.A. Noire are titles of the past, the technology doesn't have the same "Wow!" factor as it did when Heavy Rain first hit the scene. However, Beyond: Two Souls looks like it's going to be a pretty tense experience that's bound to play with players' heartstrings.
It makes sense that such a story-driven experience has to be careful of too many spoilers, but based on some gameplay footage we've seen, the female protagonist (played by Ellen Page) is battling with some pretty intense telekinetic powers that I'm sure will be a blast to use. HOW you use them, however, will likely change your in-game experience, as that's part of Quantic Dream's modus operandi as well. I for one, welcome such another cinematic gaming experience.

Better trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOWN7d0125o
Maybe Bioshock Infinite - the rest look particularly "meh" - especially if you're a PC gaming fan.
Other than B:I, I'm waiting for the next installment of the StarCraft series expansions (the Heart of the Swarm) and that's about all I can remember...OH...and Company of Heroes 2.
And that's it, sadly.
