Memphis, Tennessee."
July 2nd, 1913."
My dear Mrs. Armistead:-
I thank you very much for your second letter, which inclosed a part of the Times-
Democrat of June 29th, showing the picture of my dear Jere, and the photographic letter."
I was with him when that picture was taken, and he gave me one. I gave him one
of mine, at the same time."
I made a digest of the letter of Dr. Holt, and his article, and left it at the office of
the Sunday Editor of the Commercial Appeal, but have not heard from it. I wrote him to-
day to send it to me if it had not been destroyed. This worried me, as that paper never yet
has failed to publish everything I have sent to it. The News-Scimitar wanted it, but the
Appeal has a circulation all over Mississippi, and I wished the artic-le widely distributed
where Jere was known. Dr. Geo. C. Phillips of Lexington, Mississippi, would be happy
to read those articles. I had better say that he would be gratified, as he loved Jere just as I did.
With kindest wishes for you and yours, I am very gratefully and truly,"
James L. Goodloe."

Hate Mail From Sharon Kass: 'Zack Ford, Captive of Gay-ness'
I got some very amusing hate mail this week!
Many folks out in the LGBT activism world are familiar with Sharon Kass. She regularly trolls advocates of equality with emails extolling ex-gay therapy and the ex-gay group NARTH. In fact, Truth Wins Out has been tracking her for some time, and she's also had run-ins with my friends at The Bilerico Project, Good As You, and others. She contributes occasionally to some uber-conservative sites like WorldNetDaily, where her schtick is the same.
Most recently, Kass targeted Tennessee 11-year-old Marcel Neergaard, who successfully petitioned Michelle Rhee's StudentsFirst group to rescind an education award from state Rep. John Ragan (R), sponsor of the pro-bullying "Don't Say Gay" bill. (I met Marcel's mom, Misty, this summer at Netroots Nation, and let me just say that the world would be lucky to have more moms like her.) Kass wrote to Marcel's dad telling him that he was responsible for Marcel's homosexuality, which she called a "disorder of deep-seated gender self-alienation." She went on to explain how the family clearly didn't want a second boy and so the distance between father and son is what caused Marcel to be gay. "The ex-gay truth," she wrote, "will prevail in this country."
A Change.org petition asking Kass to stop sending hate mail currently has over 600 signatures.
I've heard from Kass plenty of times myself. Back in September, she even suggested that we hold a public debate. After exchanging a few emails, she decided I was not a "worthy opponent" because I sneer at "Christians" (her quotes, not mine) and ignore "original sources" (those quotes are mine) like NARTH, Joseph use-gay-porn-to-cure-homosexuality Nicolosi, and Richard hit-a-pillow-with-a-tennis-racket Cohen.
I was disappointed, actually, because I don't know if "Sharon Kass" is a real person. I've never seen a picture of her anywhere. I've never seen her make a public appearance anywhere. Her name outside of her hate mail might not even be Sharon — she might not even be a she. (That would be disappointing, because I hate misgendering people.) During the should-we-have-a-debate debate, I asked to see a picture of her, and I think that may have put her off.
But this week, I heard from her out of the blue! And this time, she wrote a custom article about me! It includes some quite random quotes from here at ZackFord Blogs as well as over at ThinkProgress. I replied to ask her if it was published anywhere, but her only reply was, "To quote Hillary… what difference does it make?" I sure hope that my sexual identity doesn't become an overblown fake scandal like Benghazi, but I assume — with some Google confirmation — that she meant "no." So, I'll solve her that problem and print it here because I think it's just so amusing. To be nice, I'll even toss in some links to my posts and her sources (since she only included the reference list at the bottom). Here is a direct copy and paste of her email:
Zack Ford, Captive of Gayness
Sharon Kass
October 29, 2013
I'm just a regular guy, I think. Well, maybe.–Zack Ford, "Who is Zack Ford?" ZackFordBlogs.com
He's young. He's Leftist. He's gay.
Welcome to the world of Zack Ford, head gay at the Leftist D.C. think tank the Center for American Progress.
He's a self-described atheist. Psychologist Paul Vitz, in his Faith of the Fatherless: The Psychology of Atheism, explains how an early troubled relationship (or nonrelationship) with the father contributes to a lifelong troubled relationship with authority. God, of course, is the Ultimate Authority.
Male homosexuality originates in faulty bonding and identification with the father, starting at or before age two. Psychologist Joseph Nicolosi discusses this in his article "Fathers of Male Homosexuals: A Collective Clinical Profile." To the male homosexual, with his insecure masculinity, the male object of desire is not the object of mature erotic love but a source of a masculine fix. (A "gay" relationship may have an element of true friendship, but the erotic part is neurotic.)
He says, of himself, that being adopted is "just kind of cool." He's in denial. Being casual about family ties is a pose he puts on in order to escape his feeling of hurt. Deep down, he wonders what role his having been adopted played in his father's difficulty relating to him.
He loves knocking ex-gays and critics of homosexuality. But he's got no opposing case. He's very invested in being a "sexual minority" because then he gets to be part of a "protected class" like blacks and gets to force his fellow Americans to affirm his "gay identity." Nicolosi's "Gay as Self-Reinvention" explains this.
More Fordisms:
It [the assertion that "gay" is psychotherapeutically treatable]'s the latest evidence that all of these groups [such as Parents & Friends of Ex-Gays and Gays and the Family Research Council] are actively working against the lives of LGBT people ….
How to Invalidate Gays: Validate Ex-Gays
Ex-gay Rich Wyler, founder of People Can Change, had the opportunity to reiterate many untrue ex-gay talking points, including unfounded "causes" for a gay orientation, the misguided notion that it's ethical to support a patient who wants ex-gay therapy, and a completely inaccurate comparison between ex-gay and transgender patients. …. NPR [National Public Radio] has no obligation to highlight their [ex-gays'] harmful, anti-scientific, and anti-gay views as having any merit.
Ford lives in a bubble of denial, a Leftist bubble. All his life, he has been among the millions of Americans who have been used for bogus civil rights cache. He makes his living repeating unsubstantiated talking points. He is a captive of gay-ness.
GayScam could end as soon as 2021. If Zack Ford is smart, he'll get real help and start working on learning who is really is. No time to waste. ///
Sources: http://thinkprogress.org.feedsportal.com, www.zackfordblogs.com. For real information, see www.narth.com, www.gaytostraight.org, www.peoplecanchange.com, www.jonahweb.org, www.janellehallman.com, www.josephnicolosi.com, www.voiceofthevoiceless.info, and www.pfox.org. The 2013 meeting of the National Association for Research & Therapy of Homosexuality is November 8-9 in Phoenix.
So, a couple quick thoughts:
- I don't think I'm the "head gay" at CAP. Lots of other people are doing great LGBT work there, and they definitely do not report to me.
- If gay sex is "neurotic," so what?
- Why is GayScam, whatever it is, going to end in 2021? I didn't get any memos.
- Why is everything my dad's fault? Is it his fault I also don't like peanut butter?
Speaking of my dad, I showed him Kass's letter. He wrote me the following response:
Tell her the next meeting of the National Association of "Hypocrites of America" is on November 3, 2013, at your local church. Remember Ms. Sharon, Jesus despised the hypocrites and the money lenders (rich white right wing bankers).
My dad always jokes that he likes to read the last lines of my posts (which he reads daily, by the way), because he enjoys how I drive home whatever point I'm trying to make. I think I'll let his be the final point here, though.

Connected drive externally to another computer and could see the drive but not do anything with it .... error message was "F:/ is not accessible. The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable".
Ran Check Disk and it immediately started finding a number of errors and correcting them. When finished, I could access the drive as normal. To be completely 'restored', ran all 5 phases of XP's Error Checking, invoking 'fix file system' and 'recover bad sectors' .... took about three hours.
Reinstalled drive and it's running fine.
Can any body offer reason/s why such a major corruption may have happend in the first place? The drive is 4 years old.

Voice Answer by Martijn van der Spek

Voice Answer: Virtual assistant like Siri, but better looking
No doubt many people will have been disappointed with the announcement by Apple that Siri will only become available for the new iPad, leaving those with older iPads or iPhone 4 or 3GS still without a virtual assistant.
However, last weekend Sparkling Apps has launched a major update of its popular Voice Answer app, which does work on those devices, and offers many of Siri's features, plus a few of her own.
This update features Eve, a 3D animated robot that responds to your voice commands. She introduces herself in this video: http://youtu.be/zIU-gk2JTdA.
Voice Answer has struggled since January to get past Apple's rigorous reviewers. It was rejected several times on the grounds that it looked "confusingly similar to Siri". After months of tweaking, the first version was allowed on the App Store six weeks ago and was an instant hit.
Since then we have been frantically working to include all features that we omitted in the initial version.
These include many voice controlled actions such as texting, dialing, searching for nearby points of interest, as well as voice translation into over 50 languages. The most eye catching feature however is the 3D animated robot, which really places this app in a league of its own.
We feared that including all the voice controlled actions, including the ones also offered by Siri would be yet another reason for rejection by Apple. We were also anxious that Eve's ample curves would upset some of Apple's more puritan reviewers. Fortunately Apple seems to have relaxed its stance towards alternative voice controlled assistants somewhat and the app was approved for sale last night.
We will now press on for subsequent versions which will include even more animations and actions, more knowledge bases, integrate as many public data sources as possible and set the standard for alternative voice assistants for months to come.

I have a confession to make. I've been in the digital ad business since 1999 – a long time by internet standards – and my entire perspective on what makes the digital world go round has been advertising. The reality, especially in digital video, is that is wrong.
I didn't realize the challenges until I became the CEO of Auditude and was hit smack in the face by the many hurdles limiting our customer's ability to monetize their content – well before an ad is sold, trafficked, or served. In fact, there is a lot of work that goes into creating and serving up the content before you can even think about monetizing it with ads – and if the ad guys like me aren't working with their content counterparts – the opportunity that online video advertising represents will never come to fruition.
My point is – it's time for the digital industry to break out of its silos. Media companies and publishers have been forced to piece together best-of-breed point solutions, make their own investments in technology to fill the gaps and/or build the bridges, and then hope their partners work together. This has made it inefficient and difficult for media companies and publishers to maximize the value of content they want to bring online – putting them at a huge disadvantage in a world of disruption.
This is the exact problem Adobe addresses with the announcement of Project Primetime. By seamlessly combining publishing, advertising and analytics into a single platform, many of the inefficiencies mentioned above are addressed. Project Primetime breaks down the silo'ed walls that have existed to help media companies and publishers more efficiently and effectively deliver and monetize their digital content across connected devices.
When I shared this vision with a room full of digital advertising executives yesterday at the IAB Annual Leadership Meeting, there was much agreement with the challenges in bringing more digital content online and there was great positive response to the Project Primetime vision and demo we shared. From an advertising perspective (here I go again with my advertising-centric perspective :)), the benefits include:
- A better viewer experience, which aids content and ad engagement
- More scalable deliver of ads to connected devices
- Combining content and ad analytics to provide revenue-based insights
In less than 4 months since announcing its acquisition of Auditude, Adobe has begun to deliver on an integrated vision it is uniquely positioned to solve; moving swiftly into helping monetize content and delivering a platform that will benefit those companies looking to bring more content online.

The occurrance of heavy metals in marine benthic organisms, Cape Evans and Terra Nova BayEntry ID: K082_2001_2002_NZ_5
Abstract: The distribution of heavy metals (such as Cd, Pb and Hg) in different areas of the Antarctic marine coastal ecosystems along a latitudinal gradient, and at sites characterised by different degrees of human impact were investigated at two sites, including Cape Evans and Terra Nova Bay. At Cape Evans marine samples of benthic organisms including the bivalve mollusc Laternula elliptica, the seastar ... Odontaster validus, the sea urchin Sterechinus neumayeri and the algae Phyllophora antarctic were collected, along with marine sediment samples. Samples of the fish Trematomus bernacchii were collected from a separate event and included in the analysis. The samples were immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen and transported to NZ for processing. The organisms were thawed and their body length and weight measured. A range of tissues were removed, weighed and lyophilized. A sub-sample of homogenized and freeze dried organisms was solubilized. Sediment samples were separated into two different granulometric fractions, dried, homogenized and solubilised. The solubilized samples had the metal fraction bound to the carbonates and organic labile materials extracted. Results from Cape Evans were compared with findings from a project on biogeochemical cycling of Cd, Pb and Hg in the area of Terra Nova Bay.

Increased limit for story titles from 50 to 70 characters. This should resolve issue with the few writers that might find the first limit too constricting. Please note the 70 character limit is likely to stay for a long time unless we see a collapse of the written language. Seventy character is aplenty for a readable story title and actually crosses the toleration limit for most readers.
Tiles/summaries can now contain parenthesis "()" characters to help writers that want to visually categorize different stories into similar series.
- Story/Forum title: Increased limit for titles from 50 to 70 characters.
- Story/Forum title/summary: Allow parenthesis "()" and hyphen "-" characters.
- Sorting in Doc Manager where "Chapter 10" is displayed before "Chapter 1".

EarPeace earplugs offer high-end protection, coupon
An essential part of attending any live music event is a set of earplugs. Yes, the spongy orange ones are OK, but vocals tend to be muffled and I'm constantly adjusting the things in my ears.
But a new product — EarPeace — was a pleasant surprise. The EarPeace fit my small ears comfortably and took out the high-end "tinny" noise that makes my ears ring. What is a nice feature is that the vocals were not nearly as muffled as with the spongy earplugs. Then again, the venue I was at did not have the best sound, so I'm looking forward to trying these out at Heaven Fest this weekend.
Also if I didn't have these with me Friday night when I went to one of my favorite local music venues, I would have left because the band was way too loud.
The product is made of hypo-allergenic silcone and comes in three skin tone colors, which is a nice touch. Also included is an aluminum case that can be attached to a key chain. MRSP is $12.95 and the company is currently offering a 25 percent discount with this code: music25.

The Lift Director is responsible for verifying the category of the load handling activity and reviewing and implementing the plan. Not having a designated Lift Director onsite, opens up the possibility of having an accident because there is no one responsible for the lift. The Lift Director pulls together all the information and makes sure the necessary personnel and equipment is available to help ensure a successful lift.
With the new OSHA 1926-1400 crane standards, the revised ASME B30.5; Mobile Crane & Locomotive Cranes and the ASME P30.1; Planning for Load Handling Activities, it is clear any lift has designated jobs, each with their own responsibilities. OSHA has recognized the need for someone to be in charge of any type of lift and has defined this need as the Lift Director. All employers who lift any type of material will benefit by appointing someone to be responsible for overseeing the lift.
Total Equipment Training's Lift Director Program goes through the duties of the Lift Director. Lift Directors will follow a guideline to determine if the lift is a Standard Lift or a Critical Lift and implement the additional personnel needed to perform the work. The program will go through the various responsibilities the Lift Director has working with the crane operator, the signal person(s), riggers, site supervisor, and any other personnel working near the lift.
The Lift Director program is a perfect accompaniment for all mobile crane or rigger signal person programs.
Interested in Site Supervisor/Lift Director Training?
Contact us today or give our office a call at (610) 321-2679 and our knowledgeable staff will provide you with the information you need and tailor a program to fit your needs and meet OSHA requirements.

text: SARATOGA SPRINGS -- The New York City Ballet opened its 48th season at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center Tuesday night with five ballets holding a friendly contest between classical and modern styles. No competition could have looked happier. Peter Martins' 1988 "Barber Violin Concerto" cleverly dramatizes the tensions between modern dance and NYCB's classical side. Jonathan Stafford and Sara Mearns dance the ballet couple in the plaintive opening movement, while barefoot Megan Fairchild and bare-chested Jared Angle perform Martins' capable modern dance choreography. The fun starts when Angle begins partnering Mearns in the middle movement -- she adopts his bird-of-prey gestures and literally lets her hair down -- then explodes in the witty finale, with Fairchild stamping hectic circles around the bewildered Stafford. She flutters hands in his face, he swings her about with her feet defiantly flexed, and she finally clambers up his back and somersaults over his head. Then NYCB added a strong new entry to its own modernist tradition, the Saratoga premiere of young Justin Peck's absorbing "Year of the Rabbit," for six soloists and a corps of 12. Peck's sunny ballet uses fine dance music by Sufyan Stevens. Arranged by Michael P. Atkinson, it offers rhythmic and melodic variety, with hints of Ravel, Hindemith and Ives enriching its recursive minimalism. Ashley Bouder and Joaquin De Luz both dance spirited solos in counterpoint with the corps, who sometimes behave as a single large organism. Robert Fairchild and Teresa Reichlen's two duets involve graceful lifts and side-by-side dancing that slips in and out of phase. The climactic pas de deux for Janie Taylor and Tyler Angle, which unfolds to atmospheric, pulseless music, looks haunting, like a dance underwater. Peck invents striking yet elegant partnering and lifts. He makes dancers look beautiful while harnessing their speed and athleticism to his complex vision. Two of the three purely classical works, all George Balanchine ballets to Tschaikovsky, were brief but delightful, like this summer's too-brief one-week season. In Balanchine's 1981 "Garland Dance" from "Sleeping Beauty," a cast of 56 all waltz together. Sixteen girls from local dance schools join 16 peasant couples and eight gentlewomen in creating an intricate vision of an ordered society, interweaving its patterns in celebration. Bouder joined Gonzalo Garcia for nine brilliant minutes in "Tschaikovsky Pas de Deux," Balanchine's 1960 dazzler. Bouder uses her thrillingly precise technique expressively, sustaining an arabesque on pointe longer than the music suggests, then catching up like lightning. Her hands stab the air, then lilt lyrically; she is a diamond with a heart. The opening adagio ends with Gonzalo partnering Bouder in penche, plunging her downward. Then--surprise!--she lifts her supporting leg and floats above the ground in his arms. This "fish" pose anticipates the finale, a whirlwind competition between the two, culminating in Bouder's two fish dives into Gonzalo's arms, before he carries her off, soaring overhead. The concluding Balanchine/Tschaikovsky classic, the 1947 "Theme and Variations," shows Tiler Peck and Andrew Veyette in top form and at top speed. Veyette's vertical jumps and bravura turns, and Peck's sparkling leaps and pirouettes earn them the privilege of leading the company in the finale's majestic grand polonaise. Opening night's ballets might provoke debate between ballet and modern dance fans, but there's no debate about NYCB. They are indispensible. Performances of the New York City Ballet continue through July 13 at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center. For tickets, call the SPAC Box Office, (518) 584-9330.

After falling steadily for nearly a month, Class III futures finally reached bottom and have rebounded nicely. The end of 2009 renewed a bearish attitude in the market but has since given way to a more positive outlook. Strengthening cash markets caused the turn-around as traders felt a bottom has been set
After a nearly record wide block/barrel spread in December, the spread corrected quickly and has now inverted with barrel price higher than blocks. This has become more common over the past few years with the market more comfortable with these swings. In the past, the block/barrel spread remained fairly close with few aberrations. However, this spread is more responsive and is a representation of current fundamentals. There does not seem to be as much of an effort to maintain the normal spread of 3¢ to 4¢ between the block and barrel price.
Buying interest in butter has increased over the past week with buyers becoming more aggressive. Churning activity increased over the holidays but has since slowed due to less available cream. Demand is being met with excess moving to storage for later use. Unlike cheese which will age, butter can be frozen and later brought out to meet demand retaining the same consistency.
There is an underlying fear that milk supply will tighten significantly during the year and buyers are willing to build inventory at this price. Spot price and futures have responded to this aggressive buying by increasing 18¢ last week reaching the highest price since Dec. 1. Export interest has been increasing with November butterfat exports totaling 13.7 million pounds, an increase of 59% over a year ago. Butterfat exports have been trending higher over the past four months after spending nearly a year in the doldrums. Even though overall butter exports for the period on January-November 2009 were down 72% from a year earlier, the future is looking brighter. Some manufacturers have increased churning of 82% butter for the export market in anticipation of further demand.
Many times butter is the indicator of the price direction and strength of cheese. If this holds true, higher cheese prices may follow soon. However, cheese inventory is large and has reached the time of year during which there is a seasonal increase of stocks. Unless demand picks up dramatically or production fall significantly, these high supplies will have an impact on price strength. November cheese exports increased 13% with whey protein exports up 47%, indicating improving demand.
The latest World Agricultural Supply and Demand report caught many traders off guard but was a welcomed report for feed buyers. USDA reported record corn and soybean production in 2009 despite weather challenges during the year. Corn production totaled 13.151 billion bushels with a soybean production of 3.361 billion bushels. This report generated a lot of questions that will remain until the USDA updates these numbers on the March 10 report after more time has elapsed and harvest is (hopefully) complete. Since the report, corn price has fallen around 50¢ per bushel, soybeans fell 36¢, and soybean meal has fallen about $5.00/ton. The retracement in prices that I have been expecting is now taking place and will give opportunity to hedge feed prices for the year.
Upcoming reports to watch for are:
- the December Milk Production report on Jan. 19
- the December Livestock Slaughter report on Jan. 22
- the February Class I price on Jan. 22
- the December Cold Storage report on Jan. 22
- Commercial disappearance on Jan. 26
- the bi-annual Cattle Inventory report on Jan. 29

State Of The Union: What's In Store For The 2013 Chicago Cubs?
Thursday December 13th, 2012
Bernie Olshansky (Baseball Writer): Follow @bernieolshansky
Needless to say, it has been a dismal last few years for the Chicago Cubs. The last time they made the playoffs, it was 2008 and they were swept in the NLDS. They have not won a World Series since 1908 and do not look like they will be ending that drought anytime soon. The Cubs had a horrible 2012 in which they went 61-101. The record basically tells the story. The Cubs ended up trading Ryan Dempster, a fixture in the Cubs' pitching staff for the past decade converting from a closer to a starter mid-tenure. In this feature, I will cover what's ahead for this storied franchise.
For 2013, the Cubs really have not made any improvements. So far, their big offseason signing has been Nate Schierholtz, who was traded from the Giants to the Phillies as part of a package for Hunter Pence. Schierholtz will be joined in the outfield by Brett Jackson, a highly regarded prospect, and Alfonso Soriano. This outfield is not exactly a marquee group, but it will get the job done. Soriano should continue to provide some pop as he has hit 82 HRs in the past three years combined, and Brett Jackson should get on base and drive in runs with his gap-to-gap power. Schierholtz will fit right in with the rest of the lineup.
Although the offensive production of the outfielders is important, the success of the 2013 Cubs will be dependent upon the infield. Starlin Castro will need to continue what he has been doing for the past three years in hitting for average. Castro had a bit of a down year last year, only hitting .283 (he hit .300 and .307 in 2010 and 2011 respectively). Look for Castro to bounce back nicely and provide a boost in the average category. Castro is still developing, and one of the parts of his game that is lacking is power. Castro has not hit more than 14 HRs in his three-year career. In my opinion, it is just a matter of time before he finds his stroke and starts having 20-30 HR seasons. This could single-handedly bring the team to the next level. If the Cubs want to be successful in 2013, young First Baseman Anthony Rizzo will need to step up. This will be Rizzo's first full season in the MLB, so it is important that he gets off to a good start and limits his slumps to only a few games. Rizzo hit 15 HRs in only 87 games last year, so look for anywhere from 20-25 HRs this year, maybe a few more.
Pitching-wise, the Cubs are limited. Jeff Samardzija took over the spot at the top of the rotation once Ryan Dempster was traded to the Texas Rangers, and Travis Wood and Paul Maholm backed him up. Matt Garza was injured for some of the season, only starting 18 games and throwing 103.2 Innings. If Garza can stay healthy and Samardzja can somehow replicate his success from 2012, the Cubs might be in decent shape. Carlos Marmol, the volatile closer, might be in for some trouble. The Cubs just signed pitcher Kyuji Fujikawa for two years and $9.5 Million, and Fujikawa could challenge Marmol for the closer's role. The Cubs could still trade Marmol—they already tried doing so when they agreed to send him to the Angels for Dan Haren. They could not close this deal because of Haren's health issues. This will be something to watch over the course of the next few months.
There does not seem to be a clear-cut winner quite yet of the NL Central, so an optimist could say the Cubs have a shot at the playoffs—especially with the extra Wild Card. I see the Reds repeating as Central Champions, but you never know; maybe the Cubs will surprise everyone and end their World Series drought.

Hands-on experience is the key to successfully learning how to keep bees.
Spurred by worldwide honeybee declines, more gardeners are learning how to keep honeybees. Overuse of pesticides, diseases and disappearing habitat have all contributed to honeybees' record losses since 2006, when historically-stable U.S. honeybee populations first plummeted.
It is estimated that honeybee pollination contributes $25 billion in increased value to U.S. agriculture. One of out every three bites of food we eat is pollinated by honeybees.
Clockwise: More homeowners are adding bees to their gardens to help pollinate plants and crops. • Beginning beekeepers start by purchasing a nucleus colony from bee suppliers, which are half the size of regular hives. Bee sellers focus on pulling bee colonies through winter so they can be split and sold to beginning beekeepers. • Honeybees may be a specific breed or a genetic combination bred for traits such as gentleness, hygienic behavior and honey production. Local bees are best since they are acclimated to local conditions.
Hobby beekeepers start by attending basic beekeeping classes. Most classes focus on teaching what beekeepers need to know to help honeybees through their first winter including bee biology, the basics of a hive and bee behavior.
Local beekeeping clubs can supplement classes. Club meetings offer an opportunity to meet other beekeepers and to learn from each other.
Clockwise: Honeybees are responsible for pollinating one third of food crops, including pears. • Municipal ordinances vary across the Midwest about whether hives can be kept within city limits. • Beginning beekeepers learn bee biology and behavior through observing bees on hive frames. • Beginning beekeepers invest about $500 in basic beekeeping equipment, not counting hives and bees.
Hives can be simply painted or become works of art by a children's art class. Concrete blocks and bricks are popular weights to keep hive lids from blowing off.
Bees are available for pickup and delivery March through May. Beginning beekeepers get ready by either making their own equipment or ordering pre-made hives that still require some treatment, such as painting, prior to occupancy.
Bee clubs make the process easier by reviewing how to place hives, how to build frames and how to install bee packages and nucleus, or nursery, colonies. Learning about local conditions contributes to successfully hosting these European imports.
Honeybees will fly 2-5 miles from their hives. They do best in gardens with plants blooming throughout the year, and they have a penchant for yellow, blue and white flowers with short stamens so they can easily pack pollen.
Beekeeping advice varies because beekeepers keep bees for different reasons; pollination, honey production and the sale of bees have different practices and techniques. Regardless of why someone keeps bees, scientific studies have proven that successfully hosting honeybees is also good for native bee species and other pollinators.

City manager Roberto Mancini has suggested his side's run-in could determine the future of several players as well as whether they retain the title.
City's hopes of repeating last year's Premier League success are looking increasingly bleak after United once again increased their advantage at the top of the table to 15 points.
But Mancini is not giving up the fight and still feels his team have plenty to play for in both the league and the FA Cup, in which City face Barnsley in the quarter-finals next week.
That gives some players chance to underline their worth to Mancini as the manager - who remains confident in his own position at the Etihad Stadium - starts to think ahead to how he might reshape the squad in the summer.
City have already been linked with a host of players, including Napoli's Edinson Cavani and Barcelona's Alexis Sanchez, and Mancini admits he has some targets in mind.
He said: "I think it is important the games we have from now until the end, very important.
"We know which players we can buy for the future but we don't know which players can leave.
"Also because some players (might) want to leave because here they don't play and they want more chances to play. Maybe it can happen."
When asked if he would make decisions over the final months of the season, Mancini said at a press conference: "Yes, maybe. Could be."
City have a chance to cut United's lead back to 12 points as they travel to struggling Aston Villa to play their game in hand on Monday.
Mancini's men were beaten by another relegation-threatened side in Southampton last month and another defeat to lowly opposition would be unthinkable at this stage.
Yet even with victory, City would still have just 10 games to turn around a seemingly impossible situation.
Mancini is relying on favours from elsewhere and hopes United's Champions League exertions - they face Real Madrid this week - will catch up with them.
He said: "I think every game could be difficult when you play every three days and at the moment Manchester United have a lot of games, important games, Champions League, FA Cup.
"We hope they can lose points but we don't know when or where."
By that thinking it would be in City's interests for United to progress to the quarter-finals at Real's expense this week, even though the Blues are allowing the Spanish giants to train at Eastlands.
Mancini has suggested as much in the past but he feels United, after a 1-1 draw at the Bernabeu in the first leg, might have their work cut out.
He said: "I don't know. I think that Real Madrid, for me, are the best team with Barca at this moment and it will be hard for Manchester United.
"They played well in Madrid. In this game, I think everything is possible, all results."

Now that my revised, reconstructed breasts are settling down, I once again need a new bra. I have learned through my transformation that shopping for a bra is a real task. The one black lace bra that worked in the past no longer fits my new breasts, and most of the bras I have tried on lately just don't work either.
It wasn't until I had breast cancer that I learned how important a properly fitted bra is. First, I needed a good sturdy bra when I was using just a molded prosthesis for the first breast I lost. Then after the initial reconstruction surgery, I didn't need as much support, but I needed a bra that would give me the shape I wanted. Now I need a new bra that has the right amount of coverage and can show off the cleavage without pushing my breasts together.
What I really need is an expert bra fitter. Smaller lingerie shops seem to have this person: a woman who takes time to look at your breasts; determine their shape, firmness, and placement; and then help fit you with a bra that does exactly what you want it to — in my case, lift and separate. My new breasts are firm and wonderfully positioned, and they really don't need to be pushed up or lifted much. After all, they are designer boobs. My problem is that most bras that I have tried tend to push them together, giving me a bunched-up look under my chin.
The wonderful thing in all of this is that I have breasts to talk about. As a breast cancer survivor, I lost one and then the other breast and had extensive surgery to give me a new set. I never truly expected that I would end up with breasts that are all mine and ones that I love and am proud of. I am in awe of the surgeons who did this for me. I urge all women who have lost a breast or two to breast cancer to at the very least meet with a couple of reconstructive surgeons to find out what they can do for you. For me they restored my body and self image — a wonderful accomplishment.
So I intend to spend a couple of days bra shopping. I will first search the internet for a lingerie store nearby where I can work with a bra fitter. I am going to give my new breasts the attention they deserve and dress them in the prettiest bra I can find.
Off to the mall,

Week of May 15
We begin the week with Mother�s Day. In astrology, the mother is represented by the Moon. Each of us has a position for the Moon in our astrological profile. It is this area where we come to understand how we relate to others through our emotions. The Moon symbolizes our maternal quality and its position in the horoscope reflects our family, home and sense of security. The Moon rules the sign of Cancer where it is most optimally placed. The position of the Moon in an individual�s astrological profile is determined by the day of birth. Since the Moon is in each sign for roughly 2.5 days it is an easy position to calculate. It is important to understand the position of the Moon since it can reveal much about the our personal sense of self and how we relate to others. We are also coming into the final days of Taurus this week, as we prepare to enter into Gemini by week�s end. In an unusual counterpoint, Mercury which rules Gemini will be stepping into Taurus. Close to exiting its shadow period which comes to a conclusion on the 22nd, Mercury will finally station direct and some of the reigning confusion may show signs of settling down.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Lately your primary relationship may have been a bit unstable or murky. While we all go through periods of doubt and uncertainty, your time to come to terms with this dilemma is present this week. You may be expansive and optimistic and that may warm the hearts of those closest to you.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You may witnessing quite a bit of unusual conversations this week that may appear quite by surprise. Despite this you may have an excellent opportunity to express things that were once forbidden or ignored by others. If you can use this unique influence to present your view of the situation you may be quite successful.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21): The Sun is about to step into Gemini and your yearly time in the limelight is coming into view. This should present you with an ideal time to collaborate with business partners on mutually beneficial projects. Your creativity may be running at an all time high and you may be eager to spread your influence all around.
CANCER (June 22-July 22): Career opportunities are about to take off and work in conjunction with domestic shifts along the same time lines. This may be an exciting and vibrant time for you as you try and move to a new place in your life. The responsibilities may increase but you are open to them and anxious to step in.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Travel may be on your horizon and if you can manage to incorporate family members into the journey you may be quite struck by the precision of the timing of such events. You may be turning a corner with regard to how you take care of yourself. The journey may allow you to look at life differently.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You may be consulting with elderly relatives whose plans may have changed and require you to adjust yours accordingly. Financial topics are likely to be the source of a shift and that may entail a creative effort on your part to implement. Topics of home and work combine to pull you towards a more responsible direction.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A sweetness may arise in your relationship that has been missing for some time. Pleasant turns in a close relationship may be thrilling simply because those qualities may have always been there but you failed to recognize them. Now that they appear you may be amazed at how prevalent they have become.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your daily routine may be moving along nicely as you look towards transitioning to new ventures or projects. You may be encouraged by the presence of a change in habit and what that might entail. Financial matters might draw your attention and allow you to make well-informed alterations for you long-term plans.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): A pleasing and productive creative period may allow you to stretch yourself in ways you might not have thought possible in the past. Working with others may be especially productive as long as you can be responsible. Relationships may be key motivators for getting on track and holding you accountable. Money matters may require a decision.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Responsibility may be doggin you this week and that may be fine. There is no sign in the zodiac who pays more attention to this single concept than you. Career possibilities appear to be lucrative and offer expansion which will resonate with those who are closest to you, especially if you are motivated to improve your situation.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Education and spirituality may be pulling you towards a new method of living and expression. With that in mind you may be wise to spend time writing your thoughts about such matters. The more you discover the richer your experience can evolve into something more meaningful. Creativity may be highlighted but you may need others to help.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Good financial news may lift your spirits throughout the week if you are working with large institutions such as banks, insurance companies, or long-term investments. You could be quite motivated towards home-based projects such as renovations. In order to be successful you may have to put in extra time at your primary occupation in order to fit the bill.

The decision follows a US court ruling last week which demands more detailed environmental information from the US administration, following a legal challenge from a number of environmental and Indigenous groups.
Responding to the news, Greenpeace International Arctic oil campaigner Charlie Kronick said:
"Shell's decision to gamble on the Arctic was a mistake of epic proportions. The company has spent huge amounts of time and money on a project that has delivered nothing apart from bad publicity and a reputation for incompetence. The only wise decision at this point is for Mr. Van Beurden to cut his company's losses and scrap any future plans to drill in the remote Arctic ocean.
"Shell's Arctic failure is being watched closely by other oil companies, who must now conclude that this region is too remote, too hostile and too iconic to be worth exploring. In an era of declining profits, increasing costs and unprecedented levels of public scrutiny the Arctic is simply not worth the risk.
"Millions of people around the world have helped to shine a light on Arctic drilling and this has started to affect Shell's brand [1]. We will continue to increase this pressure as long as the company continues its stubborn pursuit of the fragile Arctic environment. This is one of the defining environmental issues of our time. We are drawing a line in the ice here to say to these oil companies 'you come no further'."
Shell has spent over $5bn on its Alaska program since 2003, and has failed to drill a single well after a series of blunders and near disasters during an accident prone drilling season in 2012.
Since late December alone, over 150,000 people have written to Shell's new CEO Ben Van Beurden asking him to scrap the company's Arctic plans and recognise the unique technical challenges of operating in this environment.

Iconic hair-dresser Vidal Sassoon died this week at age 84. What many don't know is that Sassoon, a Sephardic Jew who grew up in London, had a long history of fighting anti-Semitism.
At age 18 he joined the "43 Group," a Jewish defense organization working against post-World War II anti-Semitism. Sassoon and compatriots scoured the streets of east London breaking up fascist gatherings -- a legacy that later earned him the title of "anti-fascist warrior-hairdresser."
Of those early years in London, Sassoon recalled:
In 1948, at age 20, Sassoon jumped at the chance to stand up as a proud Jew and volunteered to fight in Israel's War of Independence. He later described that experience as "the best year of my life":
Sassoon described how he
Sassoon continued his fight for Jewish causes throughout his lifetime. In 1982, he founded the Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Anti-Semitism at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.Robert S. Wistrich, director of Center, writes:

Arlington, VA, 9 MAY 2014: The National Genealogical Society held its annual banquet on Fridayevening, 9 May 2014, at the NGS 2014 Family History Conference in Richmond, Virginia, to present awards that acknowledge and honor genealogical scholarship and service. Each year, these awards are presented to organizations and individuals who have made outstanding contributions to NGS programs or have performed outstanding work in the field of genealogy, history, biography, or heraldry.
National Genealogical Society Hall of Fame. Beginning in 1986, the National Genealogy Hall of Fame program, administered by the National Genealogical Society, has honored outstanding genealogists whose achievements in the field of American genealogy have had a great impact on our field. Qualified nominations are solicited annually from genealogical organizations. Those nominated must have been deceased for at least five years and have been actively engaged in genealogy for a minimum of ten years. Their contributions to the field of genealogy in this country need to have been significant in a way that was unique, pioneering, or exemplary. Such contributions could have been as an author of books or articles that added significantly to the body of published works, served as a model of genealogical research or writing, or made source records more readily available. Nominees could also have been a teacher or lecturer, or contributed to the field through leadership in a genealogical organization or periodical.
Entries are judged by a panel of genealogists from various parts of the United States. This year,Florence Harlow Barclay, whose nomination was made by The American Society of Genealogists and supported by the Massachusetts Society of Mayflower Descendants, the General Society of Mayflower Descendants, the Cape Cod Genealogical Society, and the New England Historical Genealogical Society, was elected to the NGS Hall of Fame. The main body of her work consists of over fifty articles published in The American Genealogist between 1946 and 1971. She was appointed a contributing editor to The American Genealogist in 1951 and served as vice president of the society in 1964-65, chair of the publications and membership committees, and was one of the founding members of the Harlow Family Association.
Fellowship in the National Genealogical Society recognizes a valued servant of the National Genealogical Society. This year's Fellow, Janet A. Alpert, served on the NGS Board from 2004–2012 as secretary, president, and past-president. During her four years as NGS President, Jan used her management skills, acquired from a thirty-five year career in the title insurance industry, to guide the Society toward a financial model based on best practices in the business community helping to create a solid financial foundation for the society.
Jan was 2011 Conference Chair in Charleston, a role that overlapped with her last year as NGS President. She is also Co-Chair in 2014 Richmond. Jan represented the Society and the genealogical community on several occasions, speaking on Capitol Hill advocating records access and preservation issues.
Although she has gone above and beyond what is normally expected in her many roles at NGS, it is her work with the Records Preservation and Access Committee (RPAC) and the impact that it has had and continues to have on record access that is of primary importance to both NGS and the genealogical community at large, She was unanimously chosen to become its chairperson beginning in January 2013.
For her years of service to the genealogical community and her volunteer efforts on behalf of the National Genealogical Society and the genealogical community at large, the NGS Board has elected Janet A. Alpert a Fellow of the National Genealogical Society.
The Award of Merit is presented to an individual or non-profit genealogical or historical organization to recognize exceptional contributions to the field of genealogy over a period of five or more years, which has significantly aided research or increased interest in genealogy. The Award of Merit goes toDon Eckerle of the German Genealogy Group, NY; John Martino of the Italian Genealogy Group, NY; and Bob Boeckle of the German Genealogy Group, NY. Together, the three men organized and led their fellow members and over 1,000 volunteers from the Long Island Genealogy Federation and beyond to create one of the most important databases in the US: digitized indexes to over 16 million records that include the earliest vital records for the five boroughs of New York City plus Nassau and Suffolk counties on Long Island, plus naturalization indexes for all of these counties as well as NARA-NY's entire naturalization collection from six district courts in New York and three in New Jersey. Don managed the computer and database creation for this work, John managed the thousands of volunteers, and Bob managed the scanning and printing of millions of records. This work represents only two of the many key searchable databases produced by these prolific, hardworking groups of volunteers who scanned and printed over 20 million records to offer these free indexes to family researchers all over the world as a gateway to finding their New York ancestors.
The Shirley Langdon Wilcox Award for Exemplary Volunteerism recognizes a volunteer whose generosity of spirit and time has greatly benefited the National Genealogical Society and the genealogical community in general over a period of years. Sharon B. Hodges of Alexandria, Virginia, has graded lessons for the NGS home study course for fifteen years and has also served as a judge for the society's newsletter competition. She is a former secretary of the Fairfax (Virginia) Genealogical Society, is the current president of the Mount Vernon (Virginia) Genealogical Society, and serves as a Governor at Large of the Virginia Genealogical Society. For her many year of service to NGS and the genealogical community, the NGS Board has selected Sharon to be the fourth recipient of the Wilcox Award.
Family History Writing Contest: Leslie Anderson of Silver Spring, Maryland, was the winner of the Family History Writing contest with her entry, Tabitha's Story: Survival, Struggle, and Success. This award is to encourage NGS members to write a family history that covers at least three generations and not more than four generations of their family. This scholarly article will be published in the upcoming December issue of the NGSQ.
National Genealogical Society Quarterly's Award for Excellence: This award is presented for an outstanding article published in the NGSQ in the previous calendar year. For 2013, the editors have chosen Parentage of Martha Smith of Alabama and Mississippi: Overcoming Inconsistent, Incorrect, and Missing Records, by Laurel T. Baty, cg, published in the June 2013 issue of the NGSQ.
Award for Excellence: Genealogical Methods and Sources: This year's recipient was Ted O. Brooke of Cumming, Georgia. The title of his entry was Georgia Stray Wills, 1733-1900. This award is for a specific, significant single contribution in the form of a book, an article, or a series of articles that discuss genealogical methods and sources, which serves to foster scholarship and/or advances or promotes excellence in genealogy.
Award for Excellence: Genealogy and Family History Book: This year's recipient was Robert V. Montague III of Navarre, Florida. The title of his entry was History and Genealogy of Peter Montague of Jamestown, Virginia (1603–2003). This award is for a specific, significant single contribution in the form of a family genealogy or family history book published in the past five years. Entries serve to foster scholarship and/or otherwise advance or promote excellence in genealogy.
Senior Rubincam Youth Award (for students in grades 10–12 or between the ages of 16 and 18):Rachel Hattok of Leavenworth Kansas, was this year's winner. The title of her entry was Through the Years. The Senior Rubincam Award was established in 1986 to honor Milton Rubincam, cg, fasg, fngs, for his many years of service to the National Genealogical Society and to the field of genealogy. The award encourages and recognizes our youth as the next generation of family historians.
Home Study Course Scholarship: Krista M Burnette of Galax, Virginia, was the winner of the Home Study Course Scholarship. Burnette received the award for having demonstrated her serious interest in pursuing a career in genealogy. Criteria include attending genealogy conferences and training, subscribing to genealogical publications, and membership in NGS. The renowned NGS Home Study Course provides a solid foundation for researchers just starting out and new possibilities for experienced researchers' more difficult problems.
Founded in 1903, the National Genealogical Society is dedicated to genealogy education, high research standards, and the preservation of genealogical records. The Arlington, Virginia, based nonprofit is the premier national society for everyone, from the beginner to the most advanced family historian, seeking excellence in publications, educational offerings, research guidance, and opportunities to interact with other genealogists.

Wineries of Napa Valley – with Sequoia Grove
Located on Hwy 29 in Napa Valley, Sequoia Grove Winery sits on 22 acres in the heart of the valley in a region known as the Rutherford Bench. Named for the huge Sequoia trees in front of the winery, it was founded by Jim Allen in 1978, and has one of the first subterranean cellars in the valley, with the winery built right over the barrel storage cellars.
Brothers Jim (winemaking) and Steve (vineyard) were joined by Michael Trujillo in 1982. Mike was fortunate to learn much of his craft from Jim, but it didn't hurt to spend some time at the elbows of legends like André Tchelistcheff and Tony Soter. In 1991, Mike started his own label, Karl Lawrence, while continuing to assist Jim with the winemaking at Sequoia Grove. Mike became the Sequoia Grove winemaker in 1998, with Jim Allen's retirement.
Fast forward to today, Mike is now Director of Winemaking and President of Sequoia Grove. He says one of the best decisions he's made was hiring Molly Hill to oversee the daily operations and quality control. The new owners of Sequoia Grove Winery (the Koptf sisters, whose father founded Kobrand, Sequoia Grove's marketing arm) have given Mike a free hand to push to the wine to higher quality, and together he and Molly they have done just that.
Join us as we talk with Mike Trujillo about Sequoia Grove's past, present and future, and discover that everything old is new again!

STRANGE BUT TRUE- 007 legends: Culture shaped by Bond, James Bond
Q. It stands unique as quite likely the only movie in history to establish two urban legends that have remained part of our culture for more than 40 years.–Moneypenny
A. Ask baby-boomers what happens if you fire a gun in an airplane at 35,000 feet and blow out a window, and many will relate the gruesome story of the evil spy Auric Goldfinger trying to kill James Bond in the 1964 smash-hit movie Goldfinger, say Lois Gresh and Robert Weinberg in The Science of James Bond.
The sudden depressurization of the cabin sent passengers swimming about in a whirlwind until being sucked out through the window. But as one expert explains it: This is all urban myth.
With a window-sized hole, rapid depressurization of the cabin would occur, but the airflow would not be forceful enough to lift a person. Of course, a much bigger hole– as can tragically occur– might very well pull someone out. In one dramatic case of a Boeing 737 enroute to Hawaii, a front-roof section of the first-class cabin ripped off at 24,000 feet, opening an 18-foot hole and sucking out a standing flight attendant. Fortunately, the cockpit was undamaged, and the plane landed safely with no other casualties.
A more gilded legend concerns Goldfinger's beautiful secretary Jill Masterson, who suffocates when her body is completely covered with gold paint. Bond claims that professional dancers who paint themselves know to leave a small bare patch of skin for air. In 1964, many people might have believed this.
"We can only assume that none of them used a snorkel to swim under water, where their entire body was completely covered with water," say Gresh and Weinberg. So for Masterson, likely the only danger was her pores being clogged by the paint, causing overheating. Yet the painted golden girl of "Goldfinger" has become one of the most enduring urban legends of all times.
Q. Creativity is fine but beware the possible boomerang effect when naming your kids. For example, can you guess what pronunciation the woman had in mind when she named her daughter "La-a"?
A. When her friends started taking stabs at this one, "Lay-a" was the favorite though that wasn't even close. "La-dash-a," corrected Mom, disappointed and a bit perturbed. Naturally, it wouldn't have helped matters if the group had pointed out to her that the supposed dash looked a lot more like a hyphen. At the mention of "La-hyphen-a," Mom may well have bolted from the room.
Q. The first stage is odorless and often barely detectable. The second stage lasts but a few days, depending on environmental conditions. Soon a sulfur-dioxide skunk-like smell can be strong enough to be mistaken for a natural-gas leak, followed by liquefication and fermentation aromatic enough to attract butterflies and bees. By day six, amino-acid breakdown produces the chemicals putrescine and cadaverine (found in bad breath), and a superoffensive rot is replaced by an ammonia-like scent. Dry decay a week or so later ushers in a smell like "wet fur and old leather." The final stage is nearly as odorless as the first. What's behind this chronology of stench?–J.T. Ripper
A. A decaying human corpse, of course, says Avery Gilbert in What the Nose Knows. Its slow processing leads to the body-in-the-bed stories, such as motel room murders going undetected for days.
Urban legend has it that not until the fourth renter would a body under the bed be discovered. In my opinion, says Gilbert, the Edgar Allan Poe Award for macabre bodily decay goes to A.R, the young hiker whose arm got wedged under a boulder as he was climbing a rock face. Stuck out alone in the wilderness, A.R. could do nothing as his injured limb turned gangrenous and he smelled his own rotting flesh. Forced then to self- amputate his arm, he happily lived to tell the tale.
Q. What's it like to be involved in 846 car crashes, a world record? Wouldn't only a "dummy" do this on purpose?–C.T. Dummy
A. The human "crash test dummy" is Rusty Haight, a former California policeman who taught accident investigation before opting for some hands-on investigation of his own, says Justin Mullins in New Scientist magazine.
Artificial dummies are designed for high-speed crashes and are built to last, with stiff necks and other features to prevent breaking. But at lower speeds they are of limited use because they respond differently than a real person. Enter Haight.
In a typical low-speed crash, he is subjected to about 10 g's on average– 10 times the force of gravity– as if his 200-pound frame momentarily weighed 2,000 pounds! (That's why a car occupant can't really brace against a crash.)
On one day alone Haight did nine crashes before noon, making his ribs and shoulders sore and tiring him out, victim of what biomechanicists call the "third collision," where internal organs slam ahead into the ribs or inside of the skull.
The key variable here is not velocity but delta-v, or change in the car's velocity (slowing impact). A change of speed of 16-40 kilometers per hour (10-25 mph) is a moderate crash, 40-55 moderate to severe. Haight has personally taken it to 43 delta-v but has dodged injury by staying mostly with lower-speed crashes: 846 and counting!

Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden, D-Ore., said Wednesday that he plans to "move quickly" to extend a number of expiring tax provisions, including the research and development credit.
Over the long term, "that credit, through comprehensive tax reform, could be made even more useful for American startups," he said. "Investment in innovation and research can help turn creative startups into thriving businesses with more good-paying, high-skill jobs."
A Senate Finance spokesperson told ThinkAdvisor that there were "no decisions yet" on which other tax provisions to extend.
Wyden made his comments during a hearing to discuss President Barack Obama's fiscal 2015 budget, which was released Tuesday, with Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew.
Wyden said that "every one of our big economic challenges depends on sustaining and growing the middle class," and that extending the research and development tax credit was just one way to do that.
While Obama's budget includes a proposal for business tax reform, Wyden said that a "broader approach" that "comprehensively overhauls our broken, dysfunctional code would do more to give all Americans, especially in the middle class, the opportunity to get ahead." He said his committee would work "in a bipartisan way and with the administration closely" on comprehensive tax reform, though he questioned how to reach bipartisan "common ground" in order to move forward.
As to the nation's fiscal condition, Lew told members of the Senate Finance Committee that under the $3.9 trillion 2015 budget, the deficit will decline to less than 2% of GDP by 2024. "Debt held by the public as a share of the economy will stabilize in FY 2015 and decline steadily thereafter until the end of the forecast horizon to 69% of GDP in 2024," he said.
While the economy has grown at an average rate of 2.3% since the recession, last year it grew 2.5%, Lew told lawmakers. "Since February 2010, when the economy began producing jobs again, we have added 8.5 million new private-sector jobs, including 2.3 million over the past year. The housing market, which was the locus of much of the distress in the economy, is now rebounding."
Both Sens. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, and ranking member Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, balked at the budget's $1 trillion in new tax hikes.
Because the "vast majorities of savings" are delivered through the tax system, Wyden said that it's time for "fresh policies that give all Americans the opportunity to accumulate wealth." While he applauded the administration's myRA, and the budget's inclusion of an auto-IRA plan, he said another idea "that needs to be examined" is establishing a savings account for every American child. This idea, he said, "has had deep conservative roots and significant bipartisan support. The idea of helping young people, particularly ones of modest income, be part of the opportunity to accumulate wealth in this country is especially important, and such accounts can open doors to higher education, homeownership and retirement security."
Lew added that myRA is a good idea because the nation's "challenge in terms of retirement savings is getting people started and making [retirement savings] a habit." Said Lew: "Too many people wait too long" to start saving.
Wyden also noted that during his chairmanship, his committee would focus on education, "another area where the tax code doesn't pass the smell test."
He noted the 15 separate incentives to help defray the cost of an education, each having "its own set of mind-numbing rules and definitions." Wyden noted that "There are ways to improve those incentives — not just in the short term, but for the long haul through real tax reform — so that more Americans can secure the economic mobility that an affordable, high-quality education can give."

I'm filling another request that lots of people wanted for a while even though I already have a tutorial on the Avenged Sevenfold bat skull.
