Mission Statement
Tribal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families will make available the tools necessary to promote the empowering of Indian families to become self-sufficient so they can support and nurture themselves, their children, and community.
Flowers' CH00008775 Credit 'Pretty Holder Card Card Business Wallet Azeeda In 1996 Congress amended the Social Security Act, by replacing Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC), the Job Opportunity and Basic Skills Program (JOBS), and Emergency Assistance (EA) with block grants to States for the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program. Included in the authorization for this new block grant system were provisions for block grants to eligible Tribes. Federally-recognized Indian Tribes and certain Alaska Native organizations are now provided the opportunity to administer their own TANF programs in a manner similar to the States.
In 1998, the Southern California Tribal Chairmen's Association began providing TANF benefits to the 18 federally-recognized tribes in San Diego County and the Santa Ynez Tribe in Santa Barbara County. In 2006, SCTCA began servicing the entire San Diego County which allowed Tribal TANF to also offer services to Native Americans residing off of the reservations. We are excited to have the opportunity to support the needs of all Native people living in the county. Our program has been created by Native Americans and for Native Americans with the purpose of addressing the cultural, social and economic needs of families and those who are guardians of Native American children.

text: Wal-Mart Wants Farmers to Lead Sustainability Solutions February 26, 2013 05:32 PM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Jeanne Bernick Top Producer Editor Email When Rob Kaplan walks in a room, people sometimes roll their eyes or shut down. Not because Kaplan is a bad guy, but because he carries the title of Senior Manager of Sustainability for Wal-Mart. "It's the term sustainability," Kaplan says. "It's such a tough term for people to understand." In Kaplan's mind, though, sustainability is simple. It's a key driver behind Wal-Mart's business model: save people money so they live better. Kaplan believes sustainability is about finding ways to improve efficiencies on the farm and through the supply chain so that consumers always get a low-priced, quality product in Wal-Mart stores. And Wal-Mart wants farmers to step up and lead the work toward solutions for improved sustainability – from resource management to quality assurance. "Wal-Mart doesn't believe customers should have to choose between sustainability and affordability," Kaplan said today at the Bayer CropScience Ag Issues Forum in Orlando, Fla. "We are really excited to figure out supply chain solutions so we can provide what society needs. In some ways, this is a call to action." Wal-Mart recently became the first retail member to join Field To Market, a diverse initiative that brings together farmers, agribusinesses, food companies, and conservation organizations to create sustainable outcomes for agriculture. The world's largest retailer joined the initiative to begin working closer with agriculture and help move the industry from sustainability "metrics" to scalable solutions, Kaplan says. Retailers like Wal-Mart others in the food industry want to be able to tell a positive story to consumers, says Rick Tolman, CEO, National Corn Growers Association, who also spoke at the Ag Issues Forum. NCGA is also a member of the Field to Market initiative and Tolman says this it is exciting to finally be having discussions between the farm and the retailer. "We have talked about sustainability for 15 years with the food industry on one end and farmers on the other," Tolman says. "So it's new that I can talk to Wal-Mart and hear what consumers tell them, and I can tell them what farmers say. We are not talking at each other anymore. We are talking with each other." It's important to note that Wal-Mart is not a marketing-driven organization, says Kaplan, it is a product-driven organization. "The reason people shop at Wal-Mart is everyday low prices," he says. "When people walk through our door, we want them to know they have the most sustainable products at their disposal. "This is a leadership opportunity for farmers, for an industry or an individual agricultural company," Kaplan adds. "We are the largest retailer in America. We have a corporate mission around sustainability. It's up to our suppliers to show leadership on sustainability." For more on Wal-Mart's "call to action" on sustainability in agriculture, watch this video with Rob Kaplan at the Ag Issues Forum: For More Information Read more coverage from the 2013 Commodity Classic and associated events.

Mobile Linux Options Grow
It's continuing to look a lot like 2012 will be the year of the Linux-powered smartphone on the Linux Planet. This past week saw not one, but two, major Linux-powered phone initiatives take flight as Linux continues to lead the way for mobile development.
1. Boot to Gecko Goes Live
Mozilla is a name usually associated with desktop browser efforts. Now, it's a name that is set to be associated with its own mobile operating system known as Boot to Gecko.
Gecko is the underlying rendering engine that powers Firefox, and the idea is to have a thin operating system that boots directly into a web-enabled environment. That thin operating system is Linux. That's right, a Linux Firefox operating system.
The effort already has the backing of South American mobile giant Telefonica and German telco Deutsche Telekom. On the hardware side, Qualcomm is also working together with Mozilla to help enable the hardware that will run the new OS.
Boot to Gecko isn't Android. Nor is it about locking users into a new app model. It's about the open web.
Apps on Boot to Gecko aren't objective C or Android's flavor of Java either. Boot to Gecko Apps are WebApps, which are native HTML5 and CSS3. That means it has a degree of easy cross-platform compatibility with the regular web and an easy development path for new apps.
2. Ubuntu for Android
Ubuntu is also getting into the mobile game. This past week it officially launched the Ubuntu for Android effort. Rather than being an Ubuntu phone, the initiative is about a new type of hybrid device.
When the device is mobile, it's an Android phone that has access to Ubuntu Linux. When it's docked with mouse and keyboard, it's a full-fledged Ubuntu Unity desktop. When it's connected to a TV, it's an Ubuntu TV.
"It's two operating systems with a shared kernel and one basically takes over for the other, depending on whether it's docked or not," Canonical CEO, Jane Silber said. "It's a bit of a new category, being a converged device and experience."
3. Adobe Abandons Flash on Linux
Adobe is a company that has had mixed mobile and Linux experience. This past week, Adobe tipped the scale to the negative with the announcement it was not going to directly support Flash on Linux anymore.
Instead, Adobe has decided to only help enable Google Chrome via its Pepper API to have Flash. Mozilla has steadfastly refused to use the Pepper API over the years, and it is unlikely to adopt it any time soon either.
So where does that live Linux users? It means that if they want Adobe's Flash, they must use Chrome. Otherwise, a number of open source options like Gnash are available that will also work.
4. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.8 Released
With Red Hat's new 10-year standard lifecycle support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), the RHEL 5.x platform has some new life.
RHEL 5.8 was released last week, updating the five year old platform with features and hardware support. Among the improvements are Xen hypervisor enhancements for virtual disk re-sizing and better logging. RHEL 5 is different than the new RHEL 6 in that Xen is still a supported technology. In RHEL 6, Red Hat has opted to support only KVM, leaving Xen users to rely on RHEL 5.
KVM also gets a boost in RHEL 5.8, with improved boot times and improved manageability.
5. Coverity Linux Code Quality
Since 2006, static analysis testing vendor Coverity has been scanning open source code looking for defects. Initially, it was an effort sponsored by the Department of Homeland security, but in the past few years, the initiative has been bankrolled by Coverity on its own.
For the 2012 survey, the company compared open source code quality to proprietary code quality. According to Coverity, the quality level of the open source code was the same or better than the proprietary code.
Is anyone surprised?

How do you like it? Since I was gone for a few days, I decided to bring a peace offering of a new site design. What do you think?
I like it; it puts across the whole cryptic alien feel, plus it should work better on computers with smaller resolutions, and its code is much cleaner. It does, however, use PNG images, so if you can't see it, get a new browser.
Your input is welcome.

For example, a user can network with someone in the same line of work using their professional profile, find someone to play tennis with after work using their leisure profile or find a local parents' group using their family profile. Once they've accepted an invitation, they can chat one-to-one with connections and have complete control over which invitations to accept or block. The service has geo-location built in, but also enables users to choose to receive information and introductions from other locations.
Prior to launch, the service has already been downloaded free of charge by approximately 200,000 users worldwide

RAMP: CEBP with a Twist
Stephanie Overby wrote an excellent piece in CIO magazine last November 2010 entitled "Call Center Matchmaking," which first introduced me to the software application called Real-time Analytics Matching Platform (RAMP). I read her article while riding a stationary bike at the local YMCA (my version of multi-tasking) and was impressed by both the content and writing.
Thought I'd share an overview now and then dig deeper into the software licensing, pricing, and support model in a subsequent column. I've provided several links at the end of this column for more info on RAMP including the one to download the CIO magazine and Stephanie's article.
What is RAMP?
Real-time Analytics Matching Platform (RAMP) is a software application originally designed for inbound call centers (and now outbound), used to match incoming callers to the most optimal agent based on key factors (similar to skills-based routing). There is one major difference between RAMP and skills-based routing:
Developed by Assurant Solutions to improved customer retention rates, RAMP uses sophisticated (and proprietary) model-based analytics to identify the success factors that drive customer retention. The application then uses those critical success factors to find the right customer-"agent" match.
Again, the best "agent" may in fact be an IVR. If the routing-retention model determines that the customer prefers to use self-service tools instead of a live agent they may be routed to the IVR system. Talk about CEBP and minimizing human latency!
Designed for Genesys, Cisco, and Nortel IVR/CTI environments, integration into other manufacturer infrastructures are possible, just more complex, requiring a "translator". Not sure what that means, as their FAQ (http://www.assurantsolutions.com/ramp/FAQs.html) and other documentation are pretty thin and not always clear. This question is on my "to do" list when I talk with Assurant and/or IBM.
IBM's Current Role Why IBM? IBM apparently liked what it saw in RAMP, and in 1Q2010, IBM entered in to a revenue-sharing agreement with Assurant Solutions to market the application. IBM's Global Business Services Group has also designed a "matching-engine" to leverage the core RAMP application to enhance "individual-level" call routing decisions.
Today, RAMP is offered as part of the IBM Business Analytics and Optimization (BAO) solutions portfolio, with IBM's Cognos reporting package being the default RAMP reporting solution. Naturally, RAMP is intended to be run on IBM software(DB2 and WebSphere) and server platforms.
As promised, I'll dive deeper into RAMP after I've had a chance to speak with Assurant and IBM but for now I hope I've sparked a little interest in what would seem to be a pretty interesting contact center--or should I say UC/CEBP--application.
To learn more about RAMP, here are a few document links including the CIO Magazine for your reference.

The 'Men In Tights' Problem
There are a lot of explanations proposed, from the fact that our culture is steeped in the past, or that the first MMOs were fantasy, so that's the way it is. I think there is a different reason that most games are fantasy. The fundamental conceit of rpgs is that:
As I do stuff, I become harder to defeat.
In fantasy games, you have all sorts of explanations for this, from magical healing, to better armor, to better skill with weapons, to just being physically tougher than the other guy. Levelling up represents becoming tougher and better skilled. In a swordfight, we expect the more skilled fighter to come out alive. And a lot of the attraction of RPGs relies on this: our working on a character and slowly making them more and more powerful.
However, as you introduce technology, it becomes a lot harder to justify this basic idea. The entire point of technology, in a lot of ways, is to replace skill. There is an old saying, popular in the eighteenth century, that "God made all men, but Sam Colt made them equal." This saying perfectly encapsulates the point that technology makes the unskilled deadlier. Non-fantasy games need to be able to account for this. If you have a game where a character can get shot with a gun at point-blank range and almost always survive, that's really hard to take.
Now, that's not to say that non-fantasy games can't do this. Take Eve Online. Eve Online is pretty much as non-fantasy as you get. Eve Online, however, replaces "I" with "my ship". It makes sense that a better, more expensive and technologically advanced ship is harder to defeat. That fits in with our worldview. And thus Eve works as an MMO, where "levelling" involves improving your ship.
However, it's easier for a fantasy game to account for this. And this is the main reason, I think, that fantasy is the most popular genre. The levelling idea, of character improvement making survival more likely, fits fantasy better than any other genre.
1 comment:
I'm not convinced. The fundamental issue we're talking about here is the balance between offense and defense.ReplyDelete
The modern era is highly geared towards offense. The destructive power of our weapons is enough to kill even a heavily armored opponent easily.
However, a futuristic setting gives you license to invent nanomaterial body armor, personal force fields, etc. There's no substantial reason why this couldn't work.
However, what you're looking at here is very basic -- The tactical complexity of a futuristic setting where personal shields are effective against all manner of guns is very limited. There's no point to do anything other than buy the biggest gun possible and the best protection possible.
For a first-person-shooter this is effective, as player-skill is the primary determinant of success. In an RPG, though, people don't usually want to rely upon player skill (or at least not to the extent that many other games require). Without the emphasis on player skill this would make for an extremely boring play experience as two groups of players clicked on their enemy and watched their avatars trade ammunition.
What any science-fiction setting needs, I think, is a reason to involve melee combat into the mix. Star Wars did this with Jedi, but I'm not convinced it did well on that front: The Jedi are elite individuals, not average characters. Either their powers would be watered down in the conversion to an MMORPG or they would be too powerful.
A better example to look towards, in my opinion, is Dune. Dune had laser guns and ballistic weapons, but a soldier could equip a forcefield that would essentially negate those weapons (incoming or outgoing). Although complete protection would not work except for the highest level of gear in a game, the concept itself makes possible an interesting dynamic between melee, ranged, and support in a futuristic environment.

ReadyJet Private Jet Charter
We are a private jet charter service. We act as a broker allowing high net worth individuals and businesses to book jet charter easily.
We need a clean, attractive, and sophisticated brand for ReadyJet. ReadyJet is a private jet charter broker and we'd love to entice corporate travel planners, executive assistants, and high net-worth individuals to book private jet flights through our service.
We'd like the main logo to say ReadyJet and I'd like a subtext of "Private Jet Charter". The ReadyJet should be able to stand on it's own (I will not always use the subtext and the ReadyJet will be used on most branding).
Solarius Aviation (http://www.solairusaviation.com/) Citation Air (http://www.citationair.com) and OneSky (http://www.onesky.com) have great branding. The thinner font used on OneSky's logo comes across as very modern-professional but I am open to other ideas if you have them.
I am not a fan of cursive, gradient on fonts, big block fonts, clip-art, or anything cheesy/1990s. The look that I am going for is classy, reliable, safe, and professional.
That's all I have for now. I look forward to your design submissions. You will be working with someone who knows what he wants. I promise to offer plenty of feedback and not leave you in the dark. Thank you and good luck!

MACON, Ga. -- One more person has died of an overdose in Macon, Georgia, following a wave of overdoses in the area over the last week connected to a counterfeit Percocet outbreak.
However, Bibb County Coroner Leon Jones said that he cannot confirm if this latest death is the result of the fake opioid painkiller that has already left some dead and dozens others hospitalized.
Jones said that the yellow pill that has caused an onslaught of overdoses in the area has put Macon and its surrounding cities in one of the most dangerous situations that he has seen. This goes for residents and for law enforcement.
He said that some forms of fentanyl, one of the ingredients that the Georgia Bureau of Investigation believes is in these counterfeit pills, are transdermal, meaning they can be absorbed through the skin. This means that any law enforcement officers who come in contact with the strong opioid and are not properly protected can be in grave danger.
For this reason, Jones said that he has lent the sheriff's department protective gear from his office to help create a safe barrier between responding deputies and the drug.
He said that it is vitally important that authorities wear gloves and other protective gear on the scene because they never know what the scene will be like or what they will encounter. He said that in addition to keeping responding deputies safe, it is also important to protect the integrity of the crime scene.
Jones said that another major problem that can be contributing to this wave of overdoses is that many people don't know what an actual Percocet looks like, so they don't know that what they are buying isn't the real deal.
Lt. Randy Gonzalez with the Bibb County Sheriff's Office said that the department is investigating 10 overdoses and three deaths in Macon in the past week. They are awaiting toxicology reports to confirm the exact causes of these deaths.
The GBI and other agencies, including the Bibb County Sheriff's Office, are actively investigating this outbreak.

Maicon moves to Roma
Brazilian full-back Maicon has joined Roma from Manchester City on a permanent deal.
The 31-year-old joined City last summer from Inter Milan but struggled to win a regular place in the first team, making only 11 appearances during last season, just four of those in the league.
The move back to Serie A was confirmed on City's website and the club said: "Everyone at Manchester City wishes Maicon good luck at his new club."
Maicon found competition from Pablo Zabaleta and Micah Richards for that right-back spot too strong.
New City boss Manuel Pellegrini said at the weekend that Maicon was not part of his plans and the Brazilian did not take part in the pre-season tour of South Africa.
Pellegrini said: "Maicon didn't come here to the pre-season and he will not be in the squad at Manchester City this year."

Year in Review
Dear Friends,
In a few days, 2009 will end and I left these resolutions undone:
write a letter to the Christian Century
make diligent effort to change lifestyle*
be attentive to what is in front of my face
I did accomplish these things:
remove large grass area in front yard to decrease water use
change laundry habits by hanging out wash to dry outdoors
try several different ways of sermon prep
increase activity in Presbytery without moaning
cook more meals at home
complain ferociously about the Mississippi heat
heave out stuff I don't need
watch 220 episodes of "McCleod's Daughters", an Australian TV program
I fought with Year B lectionary texts weekly and learned to like Paul again while pining for the Lukan texts. I found great beauty in reading prayers whether in the Book of Common Prayer, Book of Common Worship, Karl Barth's prayers and the Oxford Book of Prayer. I read books about the emergent church and church history along with
pastoral care books on weddings and older congregations.
I did not blog much in 2009. I spent more time working on my crafts and projects, more time reading and staring out the windows. I feel I had less to say this year than any other.
I traveled to Arizona for the RevGalBlogPals BE.2, to the Festival of Homiletics in Atlanta, to see my lovely little sister and lovely sister-in-law and to Cursillo. I drove to the School of the Arts many times to fetch LD and to watch her perform scenes. I drove the 93 mile round trip to Little Church over and over again. That's a lovely drive!
I spent time considering the implications of post-denominationalism in a small Southern town where mainliners are the tiny minority. I wondered why hatred of clergywomen in leadership is increasing world-wide. I despaired over the continuing problem of homophobia everywhere. I noted the lack of civility in public. I measured my idealism against the reality of a cynical world and voted again to be idealistic regardless.
One of my cats learned to sit in my lap. Another cat fell in love with me again and is nicknamed "Shadow" because I appear to be his only comfort. My dog growled at me when I suggested she be bathed and I had to re-double my efforts to win her trust again.
Our LS entered his senior year of college. Our LD began her senior year of high school. Both showed lovely gains in maturity and both held on to childhood ways so that I was surprised by them everyday. Mr. C. and I learned to enjoy our empty nest for this second year.
My favorite read of 2009 is Stig Larssen's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and his second book, The Girl Who Played with Fire. I wish the publishers of the third book in the series would hurry up and make it available in the States.
You are surprised I enjoyed these two violent novels but the characters and setting charmed me. I winced and grimaced at the violence finding myself praying for anyone who experiences torture or lives with dramatically mental ill family members.
I'm ending the year reading "The Help" about maids in Jackson, Mississippi during the early Civil Rights years. I cannot stand this book. I lived through those years although I was a child and lived up on the East Coast. But, I knew the racial codes and I witnessed second-class (or worse) treatment of Blacks. I'm about 3/4 through the book and if there is not a GIANT redemptive ending, I will be huffy and crabby.
I suppose the book is better for those who are clueless about Jim Crow laws, White Citizen's Councils and the like but the stories of "The Help" leave me feeling drained. Like the stain of racism will never be removed from this state which may be how it goes. If you ask me the reasonable question, "why don't you put the book down and quit reading it?" I'd answer, "I'm such a Calvinist I can't let alone the things that trouble me until I work out why and I don't like 'wasting' books.
In the Garden, I had good luck with planting flowering vines from seed, learning about miniature roses and just how wonderfully Gerber Daisy's work in our courtyard clay pots. I pruned, weeded and planted to my heart's content this year.
I went through the most through medical physical of my adult life and survived. If I can figure out why the hospital pathologists are insisting my insurance company isn't responsible for paying for biopsy results, I will be finished with the months long extravaganza of doctor's visits. I'm doing great, thanks and am grateful.
My friends took on new jobs, moved away from stinky jobs, took on new projects and showed how brave and smart they are everyday. I'm proud of them. They made me laugh,
get teary and feel that I could not find greater companions than I have now.
I end this year waiting for the birth of Jesus tomorrow, planning my sermon for Sunday and looking forward to more time with both our children next week. I wait for my favorite bird to visit in a few days so we can go look at improvements on the Coast since Katrina, eat sandwiches, admire cats and the dog and sew/knit on the sofa while watching movies.
Blessings to you all,
St. Casserole

Merry Christmas! The ending of The Help shall not disappoint. :)

Such a wonderful post...now I guess I had better start reviewing my own year, if I can remember it...:) Up here in St. Louis our church book club is planning to read The Help as soon as it is out in paper back...one member is African American and her mother was a maid (in Indiana--it wasn't just the south) and another member grew up in Memphis where almost every middle class home including hers, had an African American maid. I grew up in segregated Oklahoma..so all of us are looking forward to a great dialogue, maybe some pain, but also some growth when we read it. (So please, don't tell us the ending, yet.) Merry Christmas, Blessed season, and Happy New Year.

I know it's going to be a good day when there's a St. Cassie post!
I actually loved The Help. It was painful and ugly but the characters were so engaging. I didn't grow up in that era, though (or not the thick of it anyway), so it's not as personal.
Blessed new year to you.

On "First Love"
Cary Nelson
While working in New York 1n 1943, Rolfe was drafted for military service and set to Texas to train in an anti-tank battalion. He became ill while in training at Camp Wolters and was discharged, but not before he had a chance to see the difference between the deeply committed volunteers in Spain and the young recruits in Texas. Two poems from that spring and summer in Texas are of special importance. In May, borrowing his title from William Vaughan Moody's turn of the century anti-imperialist poem against our war in the Philippines, Rolfe wrote "In the Time of Hesitation." It is one of the "Munich period" poems he omitted from First Love, one in which he realizes that Spain is already disappearing from the popular memory but affirms nonetheless that not all reasons for going to war now are the same:
What's in the wind? There is no wind.
What's in the air? Dust.
The dust hangs yellow in the stagnant air,
oppressive on the treeless drill-worn fields
where eager boys with ancient eyes
master their manual-of-arms, till soon
instead of group, they call themselves platoon.
Here, under smoldering Texas sun,
summer beginning and training ending,
daily we read the morning headlines,
nightly we turn the dial, listening
for the words that do not come, the deeds
that hang, suspended like dust in air . . .
And I, one among many, remember
other clouds upon other horizons,
the urgencies of other years and other deeds
. . . but somewhere, always,
hearts quicken when the word Madrid is spoken
and minds recall its lonely betrayed splendor,
the lost war but the undefeated men . . .
imprisoned in the ruins of their immortal city . . .
Here, on these Texas plains, we simulate
all the innumerable movements of invasion:
down ropes into a hypothetic barge,
from barge to sandy beach, then uphill past
barbed tanglements we cut to let the others by;
then on to the attack. Only combat missing:
actual shell, flesh-mangling bomb, bullet with million eyes.
. . . And even the Texas plain
will be fertile or scorched, as the war is lost or won.
Thus Rolfe did not leave the army before historicizing his situation in a more profound and problematic way. For a series of recognitions converged on him in Texas. It was partly the sharp realization of his generational difference and partly as well the specific social and political commitments, the very distinctive camaraderie, he witnessed in Spain but missed among the young men and officers around him here. Training to fight now, he could not help recalling that he had fought five years earlier with very different passions and out of an articulate sense of history and history's entanglements that had little equivalent among the draftees he met here. If the cultural environment he was part of was improbable and the immediate audience for his writing at best surreal, he nonetheless did begin to write again. It may be that the alternating heat and rain in Texas were not altogether unlike the seasonal extremes on the plains at Tarazona. When he left the army, he would begin theorizing the differences between these two wars in prose. But for now these issues coalesced and found expression in poetry.
"In Time of Hesitation" was the first realization of his double consciousness. There is the dust of these plains, he observes, the dust in the ruins of Spain, and the dust that individual memory faces if it is not recorded. And of course, always in the background is the famous passage from the service for the burial of the dead in The Book of Common Prayer: "ashes to ashes, dust to dust." Rolfe concludes with a reflection on the necessity of turning these children rapidly into "men or corpses." For "the world cannot wait." Some, to be sure, await the invasion of Europe; others await the opening of that second front that will deflect some of the pressure of the German attack on the Soviet Union; it is a difference temporarily to be set aside. But Rolfe is not yet satisfied with his rendering of the meaning of Spain remembered now, on the possible eve of a return in arms to Europe.
Under the pressure to give witness to that renewed memory, something changes in the rhetoric available to him. His poetry undergoes a shift in compression and metaphoric complexity. And in the heat of Texas he writes what will be his signature poem, "First Love," a haunting and lyrical tribute to Spain's hold on him and a poem that, while politicizing a romantic trope, also insists that the passionate core of his politics remains a permanent resource. As Karen Ford has written persuasively about this love poem to Spain, "contrary to what we might expect, the romantic suggestiveness of the title `First Love' is not exposed in the poem as a subjective, idealized illusion that the grim brutality and grave morality of war must embarrass. Instead, the poem insists that the intense subjectivity of romantic love and the daunting generality of social struggle are connected, though their connection must constantly be scrutinized to assure that each term is held up for measure by the other." As she adds about one of the poem's more haunting images,
that war makes love central to Rolfe's ideals is expressed in the image of the Spanish girl, who embodies both love and death: `the black-smocked girl approaching, her hands laden with grapes.' The girl is clearly a reaper (she carries the grapes she has picked) and probably a grim reaper (the black smock, however traditional, nonetheless suggests this), but she is also a figure of innocence (she is just a girl) and vitality (she is young and holds the bacchanalian grapes). The approach of death makes love urgent because it forces us to decide what in our lives is most important. She is Spain personified as an exotic yet innocent woman; as such, she is an instance of the poem's irreducibly inaugural and retrospective title. What Rolfe wants from this and many other invocations of romantic love is both a paradigm of human relations and a source of energyemotional and eroticthat can be tapped for revolutionary purposes.
Here in America, then, in the heat of our southern plains, still he finds Spain present to his mind and central to his life. And there is a reason why this is true, beyond the accidents of circumstance and the politics of commitment that brought him to Madrid and to the hills above the Ebro river. For at the core of the Spanish experience were a set of values and a vision of human perfectibility within history that are quite different from the need, however real, to put an end to Hitler and Mussolini.
That is not to say that "First Love" has no relevance to other historical moments and to other people's lives. The poem would have resonance for anyone training to fight in a second war amongst younger recruits with no comparable experience. Certainly the pathos of the "strange place-names" that enter public discourse during a foreign war only to be widely forgotten shortly thereafter, meanwhile remaining resonant or even pivotal for those who fought there, is a pathos any veteran will understandas indeed will anyone who has lived long enough to see crucial historical events become irrelevant to younger generations. Rolfe himself calls the field of battle "green with the blood still fresh at the roots of flowers" an "eternal" one. But in fact he means that field to have other connotations as well: it is the field of specific memories that hold fresh for him, and those memories are eternal not so much in their applicability to other struggles as in their singularity. The selfless gift of those international volunteers who went to the aid of the Spanish Republica gift whose purity remains a resource to succeeding generationsis part of what justifies the assertion that there were flowers on those battlefields, flowers that thus signify more than the ordinary disruption of a pastoral setting by war or the flowers at a soldier's grave.
Despite Franco's victory, despite the subsequent red-baiting of those who went to Spain, the dream and the trauma of Spain remain unsullied. The last stanza, with its self-declared lyricism, makes that claim explicit. A biographical incident lies behind these lines, but it emerges in the poem not as autobiography but as a lyrical emblem. When a train full of American volunteers was scheduled to leave Spain, Rolfe and the correspondent Vincent Sheean were among others there at Puigcerda to see them off. As it happened, the train arrived and left early, and it was well it did, for at the scheduled arrival two squadrons of Franco's planes flew over and bombed the station heavily. They thus missed their intended target, and that group of internationals left safely. Shortly thereafter, Sheean saw one swan on a nearby lake and remarked the contrast to Rolfe. Here, however, Rolfe raises the image to a more general meaning. For it is the special justice of the Spanish causeits moral specificity as a historical eventthat justifies the lyrical vision at the poem's end. If it is thus an explicit triumph of literariness, it is not an exclusively textual one. Rolfe's point is that the poetic lyricism is historically warranted.
from the introduction to Rolfe's Collected Poems. Copyright 1993 by Cary Nelson
Michael Thurston
In "First Love," Rolfes most anthologized and readily recognized poem, we find his most powerful commemorative act. The poems lyricism is inextricably bound up with the historical and moral specificities both of the moment Rolfe commemorates and of the moment in which he writes. If such moments as the end of "First Love," Cary Nelson writes, are "explicit triumph[s] of literariness, [they are] not . . . exclusively textual. Rolfes point is that the poetic lyricism is historically warranted" ("Lyric Politics" 37). But Rolfes poetic lyricism in this, the closing moment of his book devoted to Spain and all it stands for is not only historically warranted; it is historically necessary if he is to preserve the significance of the moments of which he writes under the ideological pressures operating during and after the Second World War to erase those moments from the American cultural memory. Writing during his military service during the Second World War, Rolfe sees Spain disappearing under the huge historical impact of this war against fascism, sees the specific political commitment which brought him and the other Internationals to Spain disappearing under the massive and indiscriminate mobilization of troops to stop Hitler and Mussolini. He is pressed to remember Spain, to memorialize its significance, to meet the monumental "responsibilities of the medium." "First Love" results from this pressure.
"Again I am summoned to the eternal field," Rolfe begins, summoned again to take part in military struggle, to fight fascism on the battlefield "green with the blood still fresh at the roots of flowers" (CP 190). The poems first strophe, though its lines bear a rhythmic regularity, is held together not by meter or rhyme but by repetition of words and sounds. The eternal field is twice green, Rolfe writes, green not only only with blood that nourishes the flowers (as Arnold Reids blood nourished the olive groves in Epitaph"), but also green through the dust-rimmed memory of faces." The lands vitality continues; the field is eternal. More important, though, are the repeated sounds in these opening lines. Field," fresh," flowers," and faces" are conjoined not only through their obvious thematic resonance (especially apparent where flowers" and faces" end consecutive lines) but also through the audible alliteration. We see and hear how those who fought for the land lost themselves in it, became a part of it. The alliteration of m" sounds -- memory," moved," mound" -- effects the same connection along another vector, as the soldiers who moved in battle rest at last in mounds, living on in memory.
Rolfe deploys the resource of repetition in the poems third stanza, as well, from the alliteration of the first line -- "I am eager to enter it, eager to end it" -- through the repeated one" in the second -- Perhaps this one will be the last one" -- to the almost obsessive and" that joins the phrases of the last three lines long sentence in a syntax of coordination. That sentence is a pivotal one; last one or not, this war will recede into history just as the Spanish war has begun to. The weapons with which Rolfe and his fellow soldiers train will become artifacts, objects to be found in museums, to be studied by people for whom the "strange place-names" and "inadequate dates" are the last and insufficient vestiges of these all important conflicts. Rolfe knows that Spain carries more significance than the names of Brunete or Teruel, the dates on which those battles were fought, carries more significance even than the names -- Arnold Reid -- he has memorialized. But no matter how many conjunctions he deploys, no matter how he stacks and"s in an anaphoric column, Rolfe cannot forge any link between the past and future that might preserve Spains significance.
Against forgetting, Rolfe can pose only the sensuality of lyric language and the gripping image. Training on the arid Texas plain, Rolfes mind slips from the present conflict to thoughts in another country." Why, though, do the field on which he trains and the field for which he prepares continually give way to the field on which he fought before? His recollections of Spain are not the result of an unwillingness to fight the present war: I am eager to enter it, eager to end it." Rather, Rolfe is lured by the historical specificity of Spain, rendered here in the image of the Moorish castle and the figure of the girl carrying grapes. Spain must be recalled for it was in that conflict, with its basis in fundamental political and ethical values, that Rolfe first learned "the meaning of peace and comradeship," and it appears on the training ground as a mirage-like figure on another battlefield. With a new and larger war effort, though, with the passing of time and the receding into more and more distant memory of Spain and its significance, Rolfe cannot count on the country at large or on the memories of individuals to preserve the historical moment so crucial for him; he holds to Spain, though, as the beautiful image of a girl bringing life and sustenance back to landscape marred by death, by ruins, by historys long shadow.
The poems final lines repeat this hoped-for solution to Rolfes problem. Against the insufficient institutional memories of museums and history books, Rolfe places a startlingly beautiful image:
and always I think of my friend who amid the apparition of bombs
saw on the lyric lake the single perfect swan. (190)
While the conflicts ordinance will soon be nothing more than arms in museums," while the bombs are rendered ghostly, the insubstantial lyric swan" gets the last word and promises to outlast the apparition of bombs." Nelson has explained the autobiographical significance this image carried for Rolfe, but argues that "Rolfe raises the image to a more general meaning. For it is the special justice of the Spanish cause . . . that justifies the lyrical vision at the poems end" ("Lyric Politics" 37). We might, though, justify the poems lyrical conclusion not only by the "moral specificity" of Spain, but by the historical necessity Rolfe confronts in 1943 as well. Threatened with disappearance under the overwhelming historical spectacle of World War II, Spain must be preserved in the breathtaking beauty of the poems final image just as "first loves" often live on in the lyrics that commemorate them. The swan on the lake allows us to read back to the poems title, to find in Rolfes recollection of Spain the intensity of romantic love and in that intensity the means for preserving the moral and political significance of Spain. Amid bombs which, though lethal, are ghostly and insubstantial, the "single perfect swan" takes on a reality, a concrete character that allows it to hold, for as long as is necessary, the political potential Rolfe found in Spain.
If we read "First Love" -- the final poem of Rolfes collection of "Spain poems," and the culminating moment of a book whose political commitments are among the ideas persecuted during the historical moment of the postwar anti-Communist inquisition, we find in it a conclusion only obliquely hinted in Rolfes prose writings on poetry and politics. "Again I am summoned to the eternal field," Rolfe begins, the field which is "green with blood still fresh at the roots of flowers, / green through the dust-rimmed memory of faces." This is, as we have seen, the battlefield that was Spain, constantly renewed for Rolfe by his memory and by his continuing commitment to the ideas underlying the Republican cause. In 1951, though, and at the end of this book, the eternal field seems also to be the battlefield on which those ideas now suffer attack. Blood is still "fresh at the roots of flowers" because it is newly spilled in the persecution which intensifies almost daily. The girl, dressed in a black smock, "her hands laden with grapes," comes now to symbolize not only Spain but poetry. Amid ruins she carries nourishment, amid destruction, beauty. She is the woman depicted in Lia Nicksons illustration for the last part of First Love and Other Poems, the image of lyric beauty earned through personal experience of the pain wrought by history.
And the single perfect swan" that lands upon the lyric lake"? Here, Rolfe brings to bear a handful of his chosen mediums peculiar resources. This line, alone in the poem, scans almost perfectly (except for the first foots trochaic substitution) as iambic hexameter. Sight, singularity, and swan are joined alliteratively, as are the lake and the lyricism that the line embodies. And, thanks to this happy accident of history, the bird present amid the apparition of bombs" is not just any bird but is that most lyrical of water fowl, a swan. We have seen Rolfe call on Yeats before (in To My Contemporaries" and Song for a Birthday in Exile"), and here again he alludes to his aged almost-contemporary. Yeatss swans, in The Wild Swans at Coole," Leda and the Swan," Among School Children" and other poems, carry a complex set of symbolic resonances: embodied wisdom or sentience, supernatural or divine power, a life that promises to outlast merely human spans. Rolfes swan carries these significances through the bombardment, lands with them on the lyric lake. And through the Yeatsian conduit, Rolfes swan bears in its wings and feathers Yeatss own antecedent swans, the legendary children of King Lir, transformed by a jealous stepmother and doomed to live on lakes and seas for nine hundred years. Outliving Aoife, who casts her spell on them, the swans bear their fathers story and their own long-forgotten names (Fionnuala, Aodh, Fiachra, and Con) through the ages, through the disappearance of Druidic culture and the rise of Christianity in Ireland, to utter the inadequate dates, the strange names, once and finally at the moment of their death, to read into the record of legend what otherwise would be entirely forgotten.
Like the girl who carries grapes, the allusive swan at the poems end completes the transformation of the "eternal field" from the location of apocalyptic struggles over political power to the location of historical memory. Deploying the resources of the medium against the repressive force of history, "First Love," finally, completes the progression of Rolfes political poetics from exhortation through elegy to a hard won ground on which political commitment and personal experience coexist in the carefully constructed poetic vessels which hold them in productive and protective tension.

Las Vegas: the Final Nights (Hunter)
This was supposed to be a normal chronicle for Hunter: the Reckoning, but I had two players drop out which left me with just two...

The Outcast Chronicles (D&D3e)
This campaign was inspired by the Marvel Comics title the Exiles and the classic TV show Sliders. Yeah, I even liked it after the death of my favorite character.
As far as campaign world was concerned, the players could be from any medieval fantasy world, from Eberron to Narnia to a homebrewed world. For homebrews I asked the players to give me a short explanation of their world. One player decided his wizard was from a world where

Lindsey Graham says he will ask that the nominations of Chuck Hagel (Secretary of Defense) and John Brennan (CIA Director) be held up until President Obama answers questions about what he did and did not do in response to the Benghazi attack. Graham cites the slogan of then-Senator Joe Biden during the confirmation hearings on John Bolton: "No confirmation without information."
Graham is off base. His information request has nothing to do with the fitness or suitability of Hagel and Brennan to serve in the positions for which they have been nominated.
Moreover, Graham's posture may hurt the cause of obtaining information that's actually relevant to the nominees. Hagel has already refused to supply relevant information, including the names of foreign organizations that have paid him money. Thus, Graham and others already have grounds to block Hagel, and should do so. Graham shouldn't confuse the issue by bringing Benghazi-related information into the picture. By doing so, he arguably implies that the Hagel nomination can proceed if Obama answers questions about Benghazi.
Graham is also wide of the mark in invoking Biden's quote. The information Biden sought in connection with Bolton's confirmation related specifically to Bolton.
Biden sought two types of information. The first was material related to the preparation of testimony Bolton gave to the Senate concerning WMD and Syria. The stated purpose of the request was to ascertain whether (1) Bolton exaggerated intelligence information in his testimony and (2) Bolton told the truth when he said he wasn't involved in the preparation of that testimony.
The other material Biden sought had to do with NSA intercepts and "U.S. persons" identified therein. The stated purpose of this request was to see whether Bolton, who had requested the identify of "U.S. persons" identified in intercepts on ten occasions, may have done so improperly.
Biden's requests were probably fishing expeditions or worse. But he was able plausibly to assert a connection between the information and the nominee. Graham doesn't even bother to assert any, nor could he.
Graham is being petulant. In principle, I don't mind, since his petulance in this instance is in service of holding Obama accountable for his deadly dereliction of duty in Benghazi.
But Graham shouldn't mix apples and oranges. John Brennan deserves an up-or-down vote regardless of whether Obama answers Graham's questions about Benghazi. And Chuck Hagel doesn't deserve one until, at a minimum, he supplies information about payments he received from foreigners regardless, again, of whether Obama answers Graham's questions.

For every rupee the government proposes to spend in 2013-14, as much as 18 paise will go for paying interests.
As per Budget 2013-14, presented by Finance Minister P Chidambaram in Parliament today, Central Plans expense will see a slight decline at 21 paise out of the total expenditure, from the provision of 22 paise in 2012-13.
At the same time, Other Non-Plan Expenditure is expected to account for 11 paise of every rupee spent by the government in 2013-14, while States' Share of Taxes and Duties will amount to 17 paise of every rupee earned.
Indicating that the burden of subsidies would go up next fiscal, the government has budgeted 12 per cent of the total expenditure on this account from 10 paise a year ago.
Defence would consume 10 paise for every rupee spent, slightly lower than 11 paise in the current year's budgetary provision.
Plan Assistance to States and Union Territories has been retained at seven paise.
On the income side, the government has proposed 27 paise to come from Borrowings and other Liability for every rupee in its kitty in 2013-14.
As single largest source of revenue income, collection from Corporate Tax has been retained at 21 paise, indicating the sluggish growth in the industry.
Income Tax, on the other hand, will account for 12 paise, as against 11 paise in 2012-13.
The government also expects revenue collection from Service Tax and Others category to go up to nine paise, as against seven paise in 2012-13.
Besides, it plans to mop up nine paise each from collection of Non-Tax and Customs Tax revenues, 11 paise from Union Excise Duties. The remaining three paise will come from Non-Debt Capital receipts.

The entire Olympic Village was stolen from East London last night, prompting further concerns over the security of the Games.
Despite being guarded by a substantial number of highly trained A-level students wearing fluorescent bibs, at least a few of whom were thought to have been awake at the time of the incident, thieves made off with the 80,000 tonne steel and concrete centre-piece of London's hopes and dreams sometime between the hours of midnight and 6am.
Police are asking anyone who saw "a very large building, or group of buildings" being moved around East London last night to contact them immediately.
A police spokesman said: "The village was last seen in situ at about midnight last night by a member of the public. By dawn this morning all sign of it had vanished, as had the Uruguayan ping pong team who were sleeping inside the village at the time of the incident. Unfortunately it appears that the village had not been secured properly to the ground and as such was an easy target for passing thieves."
Unfortunately these kind of opportunistic thefts are all too common in London these days and we always knew there would be an increase during the period of the Olympics. These Olympic villages can fetch a substantial sum on the black market". The spokesman also speculated that Brazil might have been behind the theft - "obviously as hosts of the 2016 Games there is an obvious motive" he said.
The Organising Committee of the Olympic Games were today bolting all the remaining Olympic facilities to the ground in an attempt to prevent further thefts before the opening ceremony.
Hopes that the village might be found were initially raised when a member of the public reported seeing a large concrete structure "looking very strange and out of place", but police later confirmed that the man had mistaken the Olympic village for Milton Keynes.

Microsoft: Charting the Course?By Brian P. Watson | Posted 2007-02-02 Print
The software giant faces the challenge of making platforms and programs compatible.
The whispers were loud, the expectations high. The buzz around the developer community centered on "Atlas," Microsoft's code name for its burgeoning toolkit using Asynchronous JavaScript and eXtensible Markup Language, or Ajax.
So far, it hasn't disappointed: Early users say the Web development toolwhich, at press time, was set for full release in Januaryhelps them pump out applications faster than ever because it combines development technologies under one roof. But some contend Microsoft must iron out a few wrinkles before it conquers the next generation of the Web.
Michael Scheidt, software developer lead with NASD (formerly the National Association of Securities Dealers), used ASP.NET AjaxAtlas' commercial nameto build a search front end for its clients to sift through the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control list. That list highlights suspicious foreigners with whom companies are warned against doing business.
So far, he says, using the framework has cut down development times on Web applications by 38% to 50%.
David Spies, chief software architect for Fidelity Information Services' Empower division, designs loan origination software and Web sites using ASP.NET. His team built in three months a consumer-directed site for loan applications. Without the tool, Spies says it would have taken more than twice as long.
A longtime user of Microsoft tools, like the .NET development platform, Spies thinks the Ajax framework could become the industry leader. "I'll always go with Bill's money," Spies says. "If there's any sort of battle, Microsoft will be there."
First, though, some users want to see Microsoft improve on some basics. Scheidt, for one, says he'd wishes he could get quicker resolutions from Microsoft support staff on production issues. While he says he usually gets solutions within hours, he'd like the time frame to be less than an hour. Still, he says, his request might not be realistic.
Shanku Niyogi, product unit manager for ASP.NET and Ajax, says Microsoft set up developer forums online for those two products and will continue to do so. In-house developers and users often answer customer questions in the time frame Scheidt wants.
Also, with diverse but interconnected productsfrom its Office suite to its development frameworksMicrosoft faces the challenge of making different programs and platforms compatible. Just ask Weitz & Luxenberg's Jonathan Jaffe.
Jaffe, software development manager for the personal injury law firm, says he and his team added a number of components to Web design program Visual Studio 2003. When they upgraded to Visual Studio 2005, they realized that the versions of the software weren't compatible. Jaffe says Microsoft did not make that clear to him at the time. Then he learned the 2003 edition would not be supported by Vista, Microsoft's newest operating system.
Handling compatibility issues takes work, Jaffe says. "We're finding we have to recode things that were built last year," he says. "The challenge with these technologies is that they're not as mature, they move faster, so we're running to keep pace."
According to Niyogi, compatibility issues are a key concern. When products can't connect, he says Microsoft works to create a patch. For example, Niyogi says a patch to make Vista support Visual Basic is coming in the first quarter of 2007. "Having these things integrate," he explains, "is a fundamental part of the value we think we provide." Brian P. Watson

Book of Saints – Dunstan
DUNSTAN (Saint) Bishop (May 19) (10th century) Saint Dunstan, one of the most famous Saints of Anglo-Saxon England, was born about A.D. 925, and was educated at Glastonbury Abbey, whither, after spending some time at the court of King Athelstan, he returned to become a monk. In his monastery he lived in great fervour, dividing his time between prayer, study and manual labour. Under King Edmund, he was appointed Abbot; but, having rebuked the unworthy King Edwy for his shameless life, was afterwards forced into a year's exile in Flanders. Of Edgar the Peaceful he was a favourite and a chief adviser, and during his reign was made successively Bishop of Worcester (A.D. 957) and Archbishop of Canterbury (A.D. 961). Moreover, Pope John XII appointed Dunstan his Legate in England. The Saint never faltered in the execution of his duty, and did not spare even his Royal Patron, guilty at least on one occasion of flagrant immorality. By his "Canons " Saint Dunstan did much to restore Ecclesiastical discipline in England, where his influence worked immense good. He expired calmly, May 19, A.D. 988, and was buried at Canterbury.

Pumpkin Pie Spice from Starwest Botanicals
Pumpkin pie spice mix is a blend of traditional dessert spices that include (of course) cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves and allspice. Pumpkin itself is a member of the squash family, a North American native that is harvested in the early-to-mid fall. You can of course keep bulk pumpkin pie spice year round, as these spices are suitable for virtually any kind of dessert as well as some of the more exotic curries and savory Middle Eastern dishes.
There is possibly no better example of a truly "creole" dish than pumpkin pie; spice mix ingredients come primarily from the southwest Pacific islands that make up the nation of Indonesia. Cinnamon, the most plentiful and popular component of pumpkin pie spice mix, is derived from the bark of a species of laurel that is grown primarily in Sumatra and Java; smaller amounts come from China, Sri Lanka and the island of Madacascar. Nutmeg also grows in Indonesia, but is actually the ground seed of a tropical evergreen, as do cloves. Interestingly, allspice (native to the Caribbean) was so named because its flavor combined all three of these flavors.
Save money and time when you buy pumpkin pie spice from Starwest Botanicals - your assurance of a superior product.
Ingredients: Organic cinnamon, organic ginger, organic allspice, organic cloves and organic nutmeg. SALT FREE!

What is OAuth?
While OpenID and WS-Federation focus on delegating user identity (or a collection of identity claims), OAuth was designed to address a different and complementary scenario, the delegation of user authorization. In few words, OAuth allows a client application to obtain user consent (i.e. Authorization for consuming a private resource as access tokens) for executing operations over private resources on his behalf.
If you want to know more about how OAuth works, you should read the following posts
OAuth .NET Library
Alex Henderson (Aka Bittercoder) has written a pretty good OAuth library in .NET for implementing an OAuth consumer and service provider. The library is available here under a MIT license (do wherever you want with it), and it is very easy to use. Alex has definitively made a very good work.
OAuth WCF Channel using REST Starter Kit's RequestInterceptor
WCF channel implementation for OAuth mounts on top of his library and it basically transforms a OAuth token into a .NET security principal that can be used later within the service implementation. The channel is implemented as a RequestInterceptor, one of new features introduced in the REST WCF Starter Kit. This interceptor basically captures the request at channel level and performs all the validations required by OAuth. The following sample illustrates how the interceptors can be plugged into an existing service host (service.svc),

Mr. Parsons and Mr. Sheldon have apparently carried on a lengthy debate about the location of the trolley in the town of Deerfield. Mr. Parsons' statement "least said, sooner mended" indicates that they do not agree and that Mr. Parsons is ready to drop the argument. Deerfield residents were divided in their acceptance of the trolley route; in general they realized the electric railway was a good thing, but many, including George Sheldon, objected to the tracks being built down the main street.

On the SitePoint PHP blog there's a new post interviewing the company behind Appserver.io, an application server written for PHP and in PHP.
What if you could reliably run PHP without Nginx or Apache, but also without relying on its internal server? What if you could do async operations in PHP with true multi threading, fully taking advantage of multi core processors without hacks or a jungle of callbacks? What if you had drag and drop installation support for your PHAR packaged web apps in an environment identical to its production counterpart? Enter Appserver (application server).
They talk with Tim Wagner, Johann "Hans" Zelger and Stefan Wilkommer about the tool and what kinds of features it has to offer PHP developers. There's mention of "servlets", configuration of the platform and the results of some of the benchmarks they've run comparing it to other web servers. There's lots more in the full interview so be sure to check into it if you're intrigued by this interesting addition to the PHP world.


text: Backgrounding Calves with Corn Again December 12, 2013 09:47 AM Tweet This fall with the price of corn predicted around $4/bu., it may once again be an affordable energy source. TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By University News Release Email By Karla Jenkins, UNL Cow/Calf, Range Management Specialist In recent years the price of corn has pushed cattle producers backgrounding calves to seek other energy feed options. This fall with the price of corn predicted around $4/bu., it may once again be an affordable energy source. Producers developing a winter backgrounding program may choose to incorporate corn into diets for growing calves. It is important to remember that while corn is a good energy source, unlike distillers grains, corn is high in starch. In order for bacteria in the rumen to digest starch effectively, adequate rumen degradable intake protein (DIP) must be supplied. This need can easily be met by providing a protein supplement that has urea added to increase the overall protein content of the supplement as well as the DIP. Additionally, the energy value of corn is lower in low quality forage based diets than it is in finishing diets. This is due to the negative associative effects of starch on fiber digestion in the rumen of cattle on forage based diets. Unlike small grains, corn can be fed whole. This is an added benefit for producers wishing to use corn grown and stored at the same location as the calves. The amount of corn necessary to achieve the desired gain will depend greatly on the quality and quantity of the available forage and protein sources. Producers are encouraged to send their feed samples to a commercial laboratory for nutrient analysis and contact extension personnel for assistance with ration balancing. Additional information can be found in the NebGuide G2064 Wintering and Backgrounding of Calves. For more UNL Beef information go to http://beef.unl.edu Back to news
