T.J. McDermott Announces Run for Missoula County Sheriff [AUDIO]
Missoula County Detective Sergeant T.J. McDermott has announced his candidacy for Missoula County Sheriff in 2014.
McDermott will officially file his paperwork on Thursday, January 9, to become a Democratic candidate in the 2014 election for Missoula County Sheriff, the first day candidates can file for office.
McDermott said he has been planning his candidacy for quite some time.
"This is something I've wanted to do for a long time, and the time is right," McDermott said. "I want to help create a safe community for the citizens and for my family as well. Over the last 18 years of my career, I've gained a lot of experience in a variety of assignments both on patrol and in the detective division. I want to use my vision and my experience to lead the department in a positive direction."
McDermott said he supports the U.S. Constitution and the right of citizens to bear arms.
"I believe in the Constitution and I believe in protecting the Constitution and in the right to bear arms specifically for legal, law-abiding citizens," McDermott said. "The sheriff is the chief law enforcement officer in the county, and a lot of power comes with that position. But along with the power comes accountability and transparency to the citizens who would hopefully elect me to that position."
McDermott said he wants to help create a safe community for his family, as well as everyone else.
"My wife's a teacher in town, and I have two small children," McDermott said. "I really want to ensure that all children are safe in our community. One of the things I'm most proud of is my experience with the Montana Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force. When you take part in investigating crimes against children and play a role in helping those crime victims and their families, while holding those accountable that have offended, it truly helps you recommit yourself the vision and the goal of public safety."

How to be more productive and get a lot more out of your day
Train yourself to start doing more of the 'right' things, with this hypnosis audio
If you really want to be more productive, the best place to start is by doing less.
Surprising, isn't it? You'd think that key to improving productivity must be related to doing more. But this is a genuine case of less is more.
You're already doing too much. Stop!
People who fret about their poor productivity are quite often worried about the wrong thing. They worry and feel guilty about not doing enough. But the real barrier to greater productivity is far more often that they are doing too much. Too much of the wrong thing, maybe at the wrong time.
What are you doing that's 'wrong'? That's a very loaded term, of course, and we'd all like to think that everything we do is rational, sensible, important, necessary, and - if only we were perfect! - we'd be able to do it all! (This is where the guilt comes in - it's about not being perfect, not about doing the wrong things.)
The first step to being more productive is to change your mind
So the first step to improving productivity is a mental shift. There are 24 hours in the day. And you're not perfect. (Sorry, but it's true!) This is nothing to beat yourself up about, because nobody else is perfect either. This means that, for you to get the most out of your 24 hours on a regular basis, you need to;
a) be clear about what you really want and
b) discard and put aside everything which doesn't lead to what you really want.
Easier said than done!
How hypnosis can help you in improving productivity
Be more productive is an audio hypnosis session which is going to turn your world upside down. Or rather, inside out. It will take you into a profoundly relaxed deep trance state. Powerful hypnotic suggestions will take you deep into your inner core and re-connect you with what your life is really all about.
You won't hear any preaching. You won't hear any moralising. Instead, you will be given immensely powerful tools for making choices that are right for you and in line with your personally chosen values. You will begin to easily discern what really matters in your daily activities and to ensure that this is what gets done.

Wouldn't it be great to buy a tasty product that you knew was simultaneously helping a good, local cause? Well, now that's totally possible, with the Dog-Gone Sauce company. Now in its second year of production, animal-lover and full-time traveling refrigeration consultant Jeff Schmidt cares for animals so much, he works in his spare time to perfect, bottle and sell top-notch hot sauces, donating all proceeds to local animal shelters and rescues.
"By trade, I'm a refrigeration consultant for supermarkets. It keeps me fed and happy, and it allows me to [help the animals], giving me the financial means to survive. Plus, I've been investing in the [hot sauce] company to build it self-sufficiently, while still supplying 100 percent to the local animal shelters," Jeff said. "I've done lots of fund-raising for animal shelters in the past. Once the economy started coming back around, I got back on top of the world and started looking into how I can donate. Rather than just write a check, I figured I would invest the money in building this hot sauce company, so the donations can be regular ones, based on the proceeds of hot sauce sales. It all just started popping in my head: the idea, the name, the logo, the spokes dog and cat (Hal Apeno and Cali Ente).
"I work with the Gulf Coast Humane Society, Pinellas Country Humane Society (near Clearwater), the Caloosa Human Society (in LaBelle), one in Indian River, as well as Brooks Legacy, the Golden Retrievers of Southwest Florida, the Pitbull Crew in Naples, the Great Dane Rescue of the Commonwealth, and other places like that, doing what I can to help these animals in need."

When he's not traveling for his full-time job, to keep his travel time a little lower, Jeff tells animal shelters to place a link from his Dog-Gone Sauce website (www.DogGoneSauce.com) to the shelter site, and proceeds from those particular sales will go to the shelter.
"It's all about helping the animals," Jeff said. "If a shelter or rescue puts a link on their website, emails, newsletters or Facebook/Twitter pages, I give them 20 percent of the sale. My goal is to donate 100 percent of the after-tax profits to animal shelters and rescues around the country."
Once his idea solidified and he came up with a business plan (or a few), he teamed up with a good friend, who's been in the hot-sauce industry all his life.
"Over the last year, we have perfected four fantastic sauces that are all cooked, bottled and labeled in the USA, right across the coast in West Palm Beach: Chipotle, Smoky Sweet, Pineapple Honey (with habanero) and Honey Rum," Jeff said. "And, we're currently working on two new flavors: a Red Wine Steak Sauce, and a Strawberry Salsa."
Everything Dog-Gone Sauce puts out is made in a fully-inspected kitchen, meeting all FDA, national and local health department regulations, and comes complete with nutrition facts information printed right on the label a feat that even some international hot sauce companies don't offer!
The flavors of Jeff's homemade Dog-Done Sauces are fantastic. They are extremely flavorful and really give the taste buds a treat. A couple have some "bite" to them, but they are not over-powering.
And don't worry about being surprised by a nip you weren't expecting each of the Dog-Gone Sauces are equipped with their own Bark-o-Meter, letting foodies know just how much "bite"?they should expect.
"We really focus on the flavor of the sauces, adding the bite after the fact, so people can really enjoy the sauces, and not just become overwhelmed by hotness," he said. "These sauces aren't just a condiment ?they're an ingredient. It's fun to play with them and add them to recipes, like pasta sauces, pizzas and using them as marinades."
The sauce flavors
Here's a breakdown of the four flavors currently available at DogGoneSauce.com:
Honey Rum:?This recipe carries a medium "bite" and is so flavorful, with a deep rum/brown sugar flavor. It's fantastic on cheeseburgers and chicken wings.
Pineapple Honey: Beware of the "Guard Dog"?sign on the fence this sauce can have a bit of a bite to it, with flavors of the tropics, intricately blended with a punch of habanero. It goes very well on fish and pork.
Chipotle: This is the first sauce created for the company, and it's delicious on everything even in and on eggs and cheeseburgers. There's a smell of the old Southwest in it, a rich and smoky flavor, with just a slight bite.
BBQ sauce: This sauce manages to carry a smoky and sweet flavor, with just a touch of heat. Usually you'll see a sauce that is either sweet or?smoky, not both. It's definitely tasty on anything: steak, pot roast, burgers, hot dogs, chicken wings, you name it!
Ordering and more
Jeff's 100-percent all-natural, gluten-free Dog-Gone Sauces are available for individual purchase on the website (www.DogGoneSauce.com), or as packs.
All four sauces together is the Dog Pack. Just three-sauce packs are the Pup Pack. A package of two sauces, a BBQ?mop and cutting board is Man's Best Friend. Prices range from about $5 and up.
"It's just so fun," Jeff said, who happens to be 364 dog years old. "It's a real riot coming up with these dog-related things."
A friend and lifelong, world-renowned illustrator, Kendall R. Baer, offered his services to create Dog-Gone Sauce's spokes animals: Hal Apeno and Cali Ente. With that, in the works, he has an upcoming coloring book to unveil, as well as a recipe book, again, with all proceeds going to local animal shelters and rescues.
Just go to DogGoneSauce.com for the complete list of great products available, as well as a DogGone map of local locations to pick up your own tasty treat. If you want to order directly from the website, no worries. Delivery is available to anywhere in the country. There are also pages of recipes, jokes, a complete history of the company, and many helpful tips for pet-owners out there.
Along with the thousands of dollars he donates to the local shelters and rescues, Jeff also donates hundreds of animal leashes to the programs.
"The more sales we make, the more we can help these shelters. The more you buy, the more you give. It's a great feeling knowing we're helping such a worthy cause, and supporting a local business while helping a cause. It's very fulfilling," Jeff said.
Joining the cause
Aside from eagerly ordering super-tasty hot sauces from his website, Jeff is now seeking distributors interested in distribution of the products, as well as a business intern, who'd like to help with the business aspect of the company.
If any business is interested in selling the product, or distributing/wholesaling, contact Jeff by calling 645-5770 or emailing him at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Upcoming appearances
Jeff, as much an avid biker as he is an animal-lover, is proud to unveil his completely redone Harley Davidson motorcycle during the next Big Boy Tech and Toy Expo at Germain Arena Sept. 29 and 30.
He has completely redone his bike to mirror his love of animals and his support through his hot sauce company, featuring jalapenos, flames and plenty more.
"I can't wait to unveil it. It's coming out great so far," he said.
Also in the works, to advance his showing at the expo, Jeff will have two appearances on Fox-4's Morning Blend program, Fridays, Sept. 21 and 28.
He will also be at the Orlando Home and Garden Show Sept. 8 and 9.
"My goal is to be on Rachael Ray and Ellen shows. I want to be able to make at least 101 donations, to 101 shelters and rescues. I think I'll be able to do that if I?had a celebrity spokesperson," he said.

Microsoft's Patent War Against Linux: TomTom Settles, Linux Loses
Microsoft's Patent War Against LinuxAbout the Author: Bruce Perens is the creator of the Open Source Definition, the manifesto of Open Source and the criterion for Open Source software licensing. Perens represented Open Source at the United Nations World Summit on the Information Society, at the request of the United Nations Development Program.
Since I last wrote on this topic, TomTom brought a counter-suit against Microsoft, attempting to get the software giant to license four mapping patents that TomTom claims MS infringed. Tomtom apparently had previously been attempting to convince Microsoft to license. So, it's hard for me to find sympathy for either player in these lawsuits, but there's lots of sympathy to hand out to the software industry, justice, and Linux ��� all losers in this deal.
Justice lost because there's been no trial to overturn the FAT filesystem patents. As venture capitalist Larry Augustin wrote: "Those of us who have PhDs in computer disciplines and have studied operating systems and file systems, don't see anything particularly innovative in FAT or its extension to support longer file names, FAT32."
Indeed, the FAT patents have been invalidated for being non-innovative in Germany, and only survived invalidation in the U.S. through a patent office appeal in which opponents were not allowed to participate. It would take a trial in court to finally settle the issue, a trial that Microsoft would likely have lost.
But justice is too expensive. A trial to invalidate the eight patents Microsoft brought against TomTom, none of them poster-boys for innovation, would have cost more than TomTom had to spend, perhaps in excess of $10 million dollars. Obviously Microsoft offered TomTom an out for much less than that, but all we've been told is that TomTom paid Microsoft, and Microsoft didn't have to pay Tomtom. How much?
There's nothing in the press release about the settlement to contradict the notion that TomTom might have settled for one dollar. The terms of settlements are generally sealed by the court, with penalties for disclosure. Sometimes we can find out about them in later financial filings of the companies involved, but this isn't always the case. What Microsoft really wants from TomTom isn't money, it's support in building fear about Linux in other companies, especially the makers of mobile and wireless devices just like TomTom's own product. Microsoft wants you to believe you need a Microsoft license to deploy Open Source software. This settlement is likely to deter some of those companies from using Linux at all.
As part of its settlement with TomTom, Microsoft also revived the end-run around the GPL 2 license that Microsoft and Novell engineered when those two companies made their much-criticized patent deal: Microsoft will directly license TomTom's customers, rather than TomTom, to use the patents in TomTom's Linux system.
The GPL license has terms that are meant to put all the users of GPL software in the "same lifeboat," making individual patent licensing by one of those users untenable because the copyright license on the software would become invalid in response. Thus, an attack against one company deploying Linux would be an attack against all and would be vigorously defended.
Microsoft and Novell's loophole makes it possible for companies to ignore the welfare of the rest of the folks in the lifeboat, and TomTom now joins Novell in exiting the lifeboat to save its own neck without consideration of the other passengers.
Like Novell, TomTom's action shows contempt for the Linux developers whose resources they gained for free and use to great profit in their product. They violate the spirit of the license granted by those developers by using a legal trick that purports to comply with the letter of that license.
But then again, this might have been the only action possible to keep TomTom, already in financial trouble, from an outright takeover by Microsoft, which many had thought to be the goal of the lawsuit.
And let's not forget Microsoft. All of that talk about interoperability with Linux coming from them? It was just talk, because they've shown that anyone who tries to interoperate with Microsoft technology even as simple as the FAT filesystem will eventially be sued, or pushed into licensing, for their efforts. The way they act, the Microsoft-internal definition of "interoperability" must be "making the whole world owe us."
And so, you should be wary of FAT, Office Open XML, .NET (including Mono), Silverlight, and of Microsoft's participation in standards committees that don't have a clear royalty-free committment, or, as is the case for Office Open XML, when the royalty-free committment is less than complete. These technologies leave the door open for submarine patents to sink your business.

Our company specializes in providing this type of service. They can be at your location quickly to solve the problem for you. Call our trusted emergency electrician to handle these concerns. They are licensed and have experience to help in your situation.
You place a call, and they are there immediately to look into the problem. When you have some major function at home, you will be calling some local electrician and doing some lighting works, at this time, that person if not skilled will do some temporary service and this slowly will collapse and lead to complete electricity break down. At this time you can call upon the emergency electrician in Longmont Colorado, and they will rescue your home from the electricity drip within one hour.
The emergency electrician in Longmont Colorado is an expert in this field and has sound knowledge and expertise in this field. This team is highly skilled in providing this emergency service and can deal with any problem at any time.
Do you have a real electrical emergency?
If you do need an emergency electrician in Longmont Colorado, you will pay more for this service than if you were to schedule an appointment with a professional in a few days. Some situations do occur in which you just cannot wait.
In other cases, the emergencies are more threatening. For example, down power lines should not be touched by anyone but the electrical supplier in the area, who should be immediately called. Whenever you are dealing with a situation in which there is water on exposed wires, contact our emergency electrician professional right away for this, too.
Situations that may require you to call an emergency electrician
There are many instances when you may need to call on an electrician for assistance in an emergency. Most of us would find it difficult to be without our electrical appliances and gadgets, even for just a few hours!
Without expert knowledge, it can be difficult to identify where the problem lies. For example, if your home power is constantly triggering the trip switch, understanding which circuit or appliance has the fault is not a simple or straightforward task. A trained electrician would be able to identify the cause in a short space of time and put forward a solution that is safe and effective.
Another problem that can develop relating to electricity is when a socket or electrical fixture stops working. When a light goes on the blink, the first step would be to change the bulb, if this doesn't fix the problem; it is time to call in a professional.
If you live in an old property, it is more likely that you will have problems with the electrical wiring. The standards that existed two, three, and four decades ago are not as high as today. If you are planning to move into a new property. Call an electrician to give the building's circuitry and wiring a thorough inspection, before you agree to the relocation.
Call an emergency electrician in Longmont today
Has your house been flooded contact a qualified professional. Have them check the building for potential hazards. When water comes in contact with electricity, the combination can often be deadly. An emergency electrician in Longmont Colorado will take the best course of action to solve the problem in the shortest time possible.
Commercial properties usually have more issues. They will need the emergency service as they will not know from where the problem has crept in from. There might be many electrical boxes. And one drip can lead to the loss of whole building electricity supply. This problem can be solved only by the emergency electrician in Longmont Colorado. An expert electrician will know the best way to get you up and running again.
What to do in the meantime
While waiting for our emergency electrician professional arrive to begin inspecting and fixing the underlying problem. It is a good idea to stay out of the risky area if one exists. If the electricians tell you to do so, you may be able to shutdown power to the area. You should never get into a position where you may get electrocuted.
Can you Do It Yourself?
If you are unsure if you need help from an emergency electrician in Longmont Colorado, consider the problem. If the power is just out, it is a good idea to check the breakers on your own. It is also an excellent idea to ensure that the outlet is the problem rather than just the appliance itself.
Contacting our emergency electrician is a good idea in any situation where there is an immediate need for service. If there is any risk to you, leave the area or building. Then call our emergency electrician professional and provide more information. Those who do so can protect themselves from a worse outcome down the road.

Topic: the missing link between prog and punk!
Posted: May 26 2005 at 19:29
yes, i beleive it exists, and it can easily (for the most part) be found at
your local cd shop. it is "frankenchrist" by the dead kennedys. the reason
why i say this is because
1.have you heard of a punk album that takes up both sides thats only 10
2.its a punk album that only has 1 song that is traditionally punk on the
whole album, most of the others are very prog like.
3.most of the songs are about 5 minutes long (which is right about in
between punk and prog song lengths)
4.it has a concept to it which is mostly about the government and the
workforce. most punk bands sang about this, BUT the difference here is
that it follows a continuity alot better than most other punk albums.
but this is just the surface, when you dig into the songs you actually
understand more about this album.
1.soup is good food-4:19
this song starts out with the guitar doing a very bizzare riff (no power
chords, definitely un-punklike) and then goes into the bass playing a riff
different from the guitar (also not like most punk songs). the begining
then continues like that and doesnt really change up until about halfway
through the song and then it goes for about a minute and then it returns
to its main theme. the ending is then different from the rest of the song.
this is a pretty good example of being a prog-punk album, but better
songs are to come later
this song is the only traditional punk song, if your trying find the miss
link of prog and punk your definitely not gonna find it here.
3.this could be anywhere-5:26
this song is alot like the first one with the intro but then it settles down a
little during the verses and it changes alot throughout the song. this is
the first great example of a prog punk song. halfway through the song it
makes a major change in the music and it would sound like a completely
different song by punks standards.
4.a growing boy needs his lunch-5:52
this is the second example of prog punk. it has a very slow and distortion
drenched guitar riff in the beginning and pretty much follows the other
long songs of this album. it will have a very un-punk sounding verse-
chorus-verse-chorus and then it will have a major change in the music at
about the halfway point.
5.chicken farm-5:07
this song is also very good. the bass comes in with a weird poppy riff.
very upbeat and unlike punk music, it leans alot more towards prog
music (and i have come to the assumption right here that you will have to
listen to this album to really find the aspects of it)
this song is not very prog like, but halfway through it drastically changes
into a narrative kind of song, and changes back to its original form. very
original for a punk band.
7.goons of hazard-4:26
this song reminds me of "trouble comin everyday" with the guitar riff in
the begining. thats pretty much all i have to say
8.mtv get off the air-3:39
this song definitely highlights why i think this is punk prog. it starts in
some weird cartoonish narration with a very upbeat childish riff then it
changes into being the most hardcore punk song on the album, it then
changes drastically into what alot of the other songs are like (complete
with its own spanish trumpet riff!). this song is great, thats pretty much
all i have to say. the best part is the message. any progger can definitely
relate to the them shouting "MTV GET OFF THE AIR!!! NOW!!!"
9. at my job-3:42
no, this is not captain beefheart, but it sure as hell sounds like it.
10.stars and stripes of corruption-6:19
i cant really say anything about this song, it doesnt really have anything
special about, but it concludes what is, i my humble opinion, the worlds
only prog punk album.
EDIT: i completely recall what i said aboutsatars and stripes, upon hearing
it again after a long time i must it is one of the best songs on the album.
if you really want to know what this album is like then i highly suggest
you purchase this album. it is a great album.

Prog and Punk are definitely not lightyears away from each other as certain parts of the rock press would like us to believe. The obvious case here is Sex Pistols and PIL frontman John Lydon citing Peter Hammill's NADIR'S BIG CHANCE as a major influence. Also listen to Van Der Graaf's live shocker VITAL, where Prog epics get a rough treatment, ending up as rather intelligent punk songs. In reverse PIL's first three albums are definetely worth a listen, some tracks carry a few, if minute prog elements. Or get Fripp's solo effort EXPOSURE (where prog meets punk meets pop meets ambient meets metal), or the League of Gentlemen releases.
On the Epitonic website you will find a Mathrock section with tons of great free tracks to download, most of which I would describe as a crossover between punk and prog. Check it out on http://www.epitonic.com/

There are links between prog and punk. Peter Hammill's "Nadir's big chance" is proof to that

Steve Hillage was playing punk/New wave before it arrived just listen to Motivation Radio from 75'. I think if anyone was a bridge between the two genres it was Hillage. Another album of his called ' Open' from 77 proves this as well.

The Dead Kennedys were definitely something special. One of the very, very few interesting bands to come out of the 70/80's hardcore scene. They came before punk's commercialization, and thus had a semblance of creativity and satire not present in 99% of the later bands in the scene. I do not doubt that they could be considered prog-punk. They used a lot of jazz motifs/chords and often had rather long and interesting songs, many relating in theme.
To bad the rest of them didn't catch on.

IMO, VDGG and WIRE are the elusive missing link between prog and punk.
As stated above, VITAL is prog played with a low-fi raw (punk) approach and is absolutely terrifying, in a good way.
WIRE, in particular chairs missing (1978) and 154 (1979) are prog-punk incarnate: music that is stripped down to its core in order to reveal the raw creative power behind rock'n'roll. WIRE were all substance over style, covering more ground in three minutes songs than your average classic prog band could in 20.

If you want to hear a punk masterpiece that's almost at a prog level check out the Decline from NOFX. It's a 25 minute continuous song that alternates between moods, tempos, themes and it's complex enough to satiate any prog fan.

Dear all,
How could you possibly forget those most wonderful The Stranglers, who seem to me to be so much on the proggy side of things and so little on the punk? Just take any of their pieces, either lengthier or not, and pay attention to their arrangements, never too simple, always attractive. From the sensational rendition of Walk on By to Golden Brown, to their punkiest tracks, to me it all seems to point to a prog approach. See their never-tired organ, frolicksome bass lines, intellipunk guitar and energetic & intricate & inspired drumwork and above all, their carefullness for detail and maybe you'll think so too. Maybe it was only their energy and somehow innate attitude (along with their powerful sound ) that made them be looked upon as punk. Still, their loyalties seem to go to something complex, simultaneously intelligent and vital and full of musicianship. Whatever it is, however mongrel-like they may be, they really are a noble mongrel.

Omar and Cedric from TMV were in ATD-I. They left the band just as it was about to break into the big time, i.e. become very very big. ATD-I were purveryors of "emo", a punk/hardcore derivative. You can hear some of sounds that later developed into TMV, but only a slight hint.
TMV are 1,000 time better than ATD-I!

I reckon this album is the link between the two genres. This is a prog rock album from a punk band. There are virtually no punk elements to it at all! Apparently super pretentious frontman Jaz Coleman sacked his punk rhythm section for not being 'progressive enough'
However, it's mostly crap so dont buy.

With Monsanto's Aug. 15 announcement of plans to acquire the Scott, Mississippi-based Delta and Pine Land (D&PL) Company for $1.5 billion, the acquisition process is in the regulatory stage and moving as planned, according to Monsanto's Director of Public Affairs John Raines.
"We have filed with the appropriate regulatory bodies to have the acquisition reviewed from an anti-competitive, anti-trust standpoint and those efforts are now underway. The review is moving exactly as it should be," he said. "The review will take several months and we are very comfortable with that." The U.S. Justice Department is charged with the acquisition review.
If the acquisition is completed, Raines confirmed that Monsanto fully intends to divest its Stoneville and NexGen brands. "The Emergent business that we purchased a little over a year ago will be divested once the acquisition is complete and meets all regulatory hurdles." Monsanto is discussing the potential sale with several interested buyers.
Monsanto is preparing for the sale of the Stoneville Pedigreed Seed Company by identifying the Stoneville people and assets that are important to the business, Raines noted. The employees likely to be affected have been offered retention packages to ensure that they are available to serve customers of the new Stoneville business.
"Until the D&PL purchase is finalized, the Stoneville Company will operate in a business as usual environment, competing vigorously for the growers' business by providing growers high quality seed with their preferred traits," Raines said.He noted that Monsanto's acquisition would not eliminate access to VIP-COT and GAT technology.
"Monsanto did not seek to acquire D&PL to gain any control over those other traits," said Raines. "Although D&PL has been working with Syngenta and DuPont to develop alternative herbicide tolerance and insect resistance traits, the transaction would not give Monsanto the ability to block further development or licensing of those alternate traits."
Syngenta and DuPont, owners of the technologies, would determine the fate of the traits and the transaction would not impede their ability to license others to use the traits, Raines stated. The Stoneville business that Monsanto would divest would be free to use those traits if Syngenta and DuPont wanted to make them available.
"If Syngenta and DuPont want to enable Monsanto to do so, Monsanto would be interested in being able to offer D&PL varieties with those traits to growers who want that option," said Raines.
Monsanto has not discussed with D&PL any potential closing of D&PL facilities, he said. Only minor changes are predicted.

5 Things To Tell Your Republican Relatives At Thanksgiving Dinner
Since the Native Americans first dined with the Pilgrims, Thanksgiving has been a time for awkward dinner conversation, while giving thanks for the good things in life—like Tofurky, Mitt Romney pumping his own gas, and pumpkin cheesecake.
This year, you have to have a little sympathy for your Republican family members. Not only did they lose, they lost after nominating a guy they never liked because they thought he could win. For this reason they'll be extra agitated and prone to ranting.
The best advice is probably to avoid talking politics until at least dessert—if at all possible. Then if you get seriously annoyed, you can make a clean escape without upsetting grandma. But if your right-wing relatives want to treat you like Colmes to their Hannity and demand a debate, you should be armed with a few facts that will at least get them thinking.
1. In the past three years, the deficit has fallen faster than in any three-year stretch since World War II.
Republicans do a nice job of scaring people about the deficit. But they're in denial of a few basic facts. The deficit President Obama inherited was over $1 trillion—entirely the result of President Bush's policies combined with the cost of the wars and the bad economy. Yes, President Obama continued the Afghanistan War and temporarily extended the Bush tax cuts for the rich—two of the only Obama policies the Republicans endorsed. Still, the deficit is shrinking fast. "From fiscal 2009 to fiscal 2012, the deficit shrank 3.1 percentage points, from 10.1 percent to 7 percent of GDP," according to Investors' Business Daily.
2. The U.S. recovery has been one of the best in the world.
Since the financial crisis began on Wall Street and spread across the globe, America's recovery has been frustrating but it is still the "sole bright spot of the world." Meanwhile, Europe has fallen into recession after dramatic spending cuts made worse by the uncertainty of their weak monetary union. Individual states united by a common currency making their own decisions, along with huge spending cuts, sounds exactly like the Republican agenda. Aren't you glad we didn't go along with that?
3. The GOP is the food-stamp party.
Yes, most counties where food-stamp consumption is growing vote Republican. The states that contribute the most federal taxes almost all vote Democratic, while all of the lowest tax-contributing states vote Republican. Despite preaching personal responsibility, the GOP encourages food-stamp consumption by cutting education and cracking down on unions that ensure workers earn a living wage. Yes, about 40 percent of those on food stamps work, but don't earn enough to get off assistance.

Harry Anderson, the "Night Court" star who made Asheville, N.C. his home, has died at age 65 at his home, Asheville police confirm.
The actor, comedian and magician starred in the 1980s-1990s sitcom "Night Court." When the news of his death was released, Anderson began trending on Twitter on Monday evening.
Anderson also made several appearances on "Saturday Night Live" but was best known for playing the character of Judge Harry T. Stone in the TV series "Night Court."
He relocated to Asheville from New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.
TMZ reports the actor also appeared on "Cheers" and even starred in his own sitcom called "Dave's World." Most recently, Anderson appeared in shows such as "30 Rock" and "Son of the Beach."
No foul play is suspected in his death. Anderson's son tells TMZ the actor died of natural causes.
Harry Anderson leaves behind a wife and two children.

The Cardinals turned their offense over to John Skelton again this week, leaving Ryan Lindley to hold a clipboard and Kevin Kolb to keep healing from the broken ribs he suffered in Week Six.
Kolb's been practicing in a limited fashion, but he's still not ready to kick things up to a higher notch. It's not because he doesn't want to be playing or because he's had a setback in his recovery, it's that he hasn't finished healing from the initial injury.
"A lot of the (slow recovery) goes back to the injury itself. The way that my ribs are broken, they aren't completely healed," Kolb said, via Darren Urban of the team's website. "Whenever the cartilage broke, (the ribs) are laying underneath my sternum. That's how they are trying to heal, rather than healing where it's butted up straight against it like a normal cracked rib, flush with each other, mine are laid underneath there. That's what extends the process."
Kolb still maintains he'll return this season, but he and the Cardinals are running out of time. Given the performances of all three quarterbacks, we've got little doubt that Kolb would be the starter if there was any way he'd be on the field.

The agreement allows for the development of a new line of prepackaged snacks for vending, grocery and convenience store distribution, with the first product being Vidalia Sweet Onion Petals. This baked snack is made with real Vidalia sweet onion puree and is extruded in the form of an onion stick. It features zero trans fats and 130 calories per serving.
This license agreement expands Inventure Foods' portfolio of nationally recognized brands that currently includes Jamba, T.G.I. Friday's and Nathan's Famous. "We have a successful track record of taking consumer brands into the prepackaged, ready-to-eat space," says Steve Sklar, senior vice president of marketing for Inventure Foods. "With Vidalia Brands, we are combining powerful brand recognition with the latest in snack trends to introduce a product line that will certainly taste great, but will also feel immediately familiar to consumers."
Vidalia Sweet Onion Petals come in 2.25-oz. and 3.5-oz. bags with a suggested retail price of $1.99 and $2.49, respectively.

It wasn't too hard to find Kevin Connolly among a handful of NHL players at Sutra in Costa Mesa Saturday night.
He was the shortest, but he was also the most prominent celebrity during a charity benefit for Talk About Curing Autism. The actor, best known for his work as Eric "E" Murphy on Entourage, was very personable and cooperative during a pre-event reception for the inaugural Ryan Getzlaf Golf Shootout.
But then again there wasn't that much media to deal with at the event. It appeared as if the Daily Pilot was the only newspaper there, not that there are much of us around anyway.
Regardless, this night wasn't about media, or cameras flashing at a red-carpet entrance, or big-time hockey players. It wasn't about Connolly. This was about autism, known to many as the silent epidemic.
Connolly is a big fan of hockey. He also has a close friend whose son is autistic. Autism, a neurological and biological disorder, affects one in every 91 children, according to TACA's website, which also states an estimate of over 1 million people in the U.S. have it. The epidemic hits home for me too. My daughter, who is 6, is autistic and was born Down syndrome.
"It would be nice to raise some money for autism," Connolly, a die-hard Islanders fan, said before entering Sutra. "It's a great cause. Ultimately it's always about raising money."
Connolly later posed for photos on the red carpet. He had his hands in his pockets for some shots and he wore sunglasses for others. He was cool about it all. Later, in the club, he tipped big at the bar. Once he made sure to order a drink for a stranger before he got his.
I guess everyone was in a giving mood at Sutra. Getzlaf was also more than willing to pose for the cameras.
Getzlaf has a male cousin, Morgan, who is 18 and is autistic.
"The biggest goal is to raise money and get the awareness on TACA," said Getzlaf, whose event raised more than $160,000, according to TACA.
Just a few nights before the event he was supporting his teammate Corey Perry, who won the Hart Trophy for being the most valuable player in the NHL.
Saturday, Perry came to support Getzlaf's cause.
"To give back to the community is always an added bonus," Perry said. "For autism, you just want to help as much as possible. If you can do that hopefully it does something."
They all wanted to help with the charity event. Over 200 people participated in the two-day event to raise money for TACA.
TACA is based in Costa Mesa. The founders, Glen and Lisa Ackerman, live in Newport Beach. They were also there Saturday night. The next day Getzlaf held his Golf Shootout at Pelican Hill Golf Club in Newport Coast.
Lisa Ackerman was excited to help organize the event. But she wanted to help on one condition: the hockey players would compete in a "Happy Gilmore" putting contest, using hockey sticks.
The Ackermans want to have fun, but they also want to focus on autism awareness. They have two children, Lauren, 28, who is typical, and Jeff, 14, who is autistic.
Back in 2000, they said they just wanted to have a simple barbeque dinner of 10 people so they could talk about autism and introduce Jeff.
"We started with 10 and now we serve over 26,000," Lisa Ackerman said. "The barbeque is too big now."
TACA is a non-profit organization that provides support, education and information to those who are touched by autism.
The growth of TACA and its focus proved appealing to Getzlaf and his wife, Paige. They wanted to help. Getzlaf recruited more help.
In addition to Perry, George Parros, Bobby Ryan, Luca Sbisa and Andy Sutton also of the Ducks participated in the golf event at Pelican Hill. Shane O'Brien, who played for the Nashville Predators this past season, Paul Bisonette (Phoenix Coyotes), Brett Festerling Atlanta Thrashers) and Joffrey Lupul (Toronto Maple Leafs) were also there. Lupul, Festering and O'Brien are former Ducks.
Connolly wasn't the only actor from Entourage there on Sunday. Kevin Dillon, who plays Johnny Drama, also showed up to take a few swings.
Connolly was happy to show up to Sutra on Saturday, but he also had other hopes.
"It's pretty ugly," Connolly said of his golf game. "I'm hoping these guys have a lot of fun [Saturday night] so they're a little off [Sunday]."
Overall, everyone turned out to be on their game.

The only thing better than being a comic-book-slash-Shakespeare-geek who owns the Cartoon Shakespeare series is being a comic-book-slash-Shakespeare-geek-mother whose 6yo daughter reads said series and then asks to be taken to Shakespeare in the park.
I thought I'd died and gone to heaven – until I found that the production was of your least favourite play and mine, the (cough) shall we say, problematic, Taming of the Shrew. In the plus column, it was staged by Woman's Will, billing itself as the San Francisco Bay Area's all-female Shakespeare company. What might Californian women do with Shakespeare's most dickish play? Way to pique my interest! Off we went.
In her director's note, Erin Merritt tackles the misogyny issue head-on:
Along comes another wild soul who is not afraid of her, who is delighted by her even at her worst, who in fact out-shrews her on many an occasion, but who time and again asks, "Can Kate come out and play?""
"Play", it turns out, is the operative word. What Merritt and El Beh, the actor playing Petruchio, tease out of the text is Shakespeare's subversive description of gender roles as performative. It's a brilliant reading, building on what's already there. (Let's not forget that the original productions had young men playing the women's roles. Shakespeare was no feminist and very much of his time, but at least his positions on gender have the virtue of being complicated.) El Beh's Petruchio is a braggart and a clown, channeling at times Will Ferrell's Ron Burgundy. That's funny all on its own, as a woman's exaggerated portrait of that particular species of dumb, smug masculinity. But Beh doesn't stop there. She gives Petruchio self-knowledge and kindness, so that he looks at Kate with genuine admiration and affection.
This characterization transforms their scenes together. Instead of playing Petruchio as an abusive jerk, Beh shows him mirroring Kate's bad temper back at her. He also offers her the alternative of joining in his playful engagement with the world. In this reading, when Petruchio says the sun is the moon, it's not because he wants to squash her capacity for independent thought. It's because the words are abitrary. It's the societal-expectation argument(1) in favour of (all kinds of) weddings. You don't necessarily sacrifice your integrity when you're reading from a script(2), and you might just be able to get the rest of the world off your back. If he can play at being a man, she can play at being a women, and they can play at being married. When that performance satisfies the surveillance of the rest of Padua, it becomes a protective shield inside which they can figure out what kind of a relationship they themselves would like.
A sardonic ex of mine used to dismiss male fictional characters written by women – Mr Darcy being the most obvious – as lesbians in transparent disguise. This production reminded me that women can be very good at capturing what other women would like in a mate. Literary transvestism for fun and profit!
I make it sound heavy-handed but it wasn't. It was deliciously sexy and hilarious as well. (And well-staged! At a couple of points, Kate literally sweeps Petruchio off his feet.) My point is that as a card-carrying feminist I never expected to belly-laugh at this of all plays. Liz argues that one funny production doesn't redeem the text, which is true; still, this right here is the sort of cultural appropriation I can get behind! Kudos! My kid liked it too.
(1) It's not a strong argument.
(2) Note that non-sacrifice of integrity cannot be guaranteed by the Geek Feminism organization or its subsidiaries. Offer void where prohibited. Open with care.

Why Voting Matters: Barack Obama, I Got You
By Brandon Lacy Campos
November 5, 2012
I have written a number of blog posts about Barack Hussein Obama (30 mentions to be exact). Last May, I wrote a blog titled Why I Will Be Voting for Barack Obama, and I stand by all that I wrote in that blog as well. If you want to know why I am voting to support our President, please check out one of those two links above.
I am writing today to talk about the practice of voting itself. Yesterday, I posted this status on Facebook:
I stand by this Facebook status emphatically, but I want to explain a bit more about why I believe voting to be important even within this broken system, particularly after receiving some well thought out and meaningful push back from a former colleague and someone whom I adore as a human and as a thinker: Patrick Barret from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. You can read Patrick's full discourse on my Facebook page by scrolling down a bit and clicking on the comment feed under the above status. But one of his comments struck me in response to my statement that we have an obligation to participate in democracy via the minimal act of voting:
I agree with Patrick. The system is broken. Democracy is limited more now than at anytime since the official dismantling of Jim Crow era poll taxes/lit tests/etc. Using the vehicle of the prison industrial complex and restrictive ID laws and courtroom shenanigans, the vote is either directly or effectively stripped from millions upon millions of mostly people of color and poor voters. That, of course, is not coincidental since a working poor/oppressed class of folks that see themselves as having a legitimate opportunity to use the electoral system to effect change would buck the two party system and create a much fairer system (as fair as can be possible while still operating under capitalism). It would be a democracy that was at least multi-party if not explicitly socialist in its leanings. That's my belief, and the trends of the '60s broad-based radical social groups hold this up as does the union organizing of previous decades. So, it is in the interest of power to limit the franchise as much as possible for those who have some particular interest and investment in the current system. It is easier for the working poor to see themselves in cahoots with a struggling and shrinking middle class that identifies with the American dream aspirations rather than having the working poor and middle class seeing themselves as fundamentally the same as the working poor and having the middle class risk what small privileges still exist for a chance at a revolutionary democratic movement that would pay out real liberation dividends via a time of struggle.
Yet even with that broken reality, I believe that our system is not yet so monolithic and gone that the two parties are one party from rhetoric to recent history WE KNOW THAT TO BE UNTRUE!
The system is broken. It needs to be fixed. But the reality is that who sits in the White House DOES matter. It matters to those of us living with HIV if the President in the White House is going to fund Ryan White (and at what level), Medicaid and other social programs. It matters to working-class people of color and poor whites if the President in the White House is going to rush to or manufacture a war for political and financial gain. It matters who is in the White House when it comes to basic human rights protections for queer and trans folks. It matters for many reasons who sits in the White House.
HEAR ME CLEARLY! No person in the White House is going to give us our liberation, but I do not ascribe to the notion that who you vote for in this corporate democracy doesn't matter. Eight years of Bush and the Great Recession that followed proved, unequivocally, that, in fact, it does matter. It matters in a cost of lives. Mayhaps I am not as "down," as those who are willing to suggest that voting doesn't matter because the system is inherently flawed. Voting doesn't matter in the way that it should. I spent years working with Patrick Barret, David Cobb and others on just these issues. And I continue to advocate for real and meaningful democratic practice. And if I need to do so, I will continue to repeat that voting is only your most minimal obligation to democracy. But I will vote tomorrow. I will vote for Barack Obama. And I encourage every one of you to vote, attempt to vote or raise Hell in one way or another if you find your right to vote denied while at the polling station ... and then ... no matter what the outcome of the election tomorrow night, get ready for the real work of democracy that comes each and every day afterwards.

Brandon Lacy Campos is a 32-year-old queer, poz, African-American, Afro-Puerto Rican, Ojibwe and Euro (smorgasbord) poet, playwright, blogger, journalist and novelist (that last one is slowly coming along). In 2009, MyLatinoVoice.com named him the #2 queer, Latino blogger to watch. In 2006, the Star Tribune named him a young policy wonk for his political shenanigans. His writing and poetry have appeared in numerous anthologies including, most recently, Mariposas, edited by Emanuel Xavier and published by Floricanto Press. This fall, his work will appear in the academic text Queer Twin Cities, published by the University of Minnesota Press. And, one of these days, Summerfolk Press will be publishing his first solo book of poetry: It Ain't Truth If It Doesn't Hurt. Brandon is hard at work on his first novel, Eden Lost, and he lives in New York City with his partner, artist David Berube, and his boss, Mimzy Lacy Berube de Campos (their dog).
It's with heavy hearts that we share that Brandon passed away unexpectedly on Friday, Nov. 9, 2012. He was 35 years old. Read memorials by Brandon's friends and colleagues.
