Florida Gov. Rick Scott on Tuesday allocated more money for Miami-Dade to fight Zika as health officials reported one new mosquito-borne infection in the county, raising to 15 the number of local cases currently under investigation outside of Miami Beach — which remains the only place identified by the state as having active spread of the virus.
The additional $7.4 million will pay for Miami-Dade to hire extra mosquito control workers and to increase spraying. It raises the amount of state funds committed for the county’s Zika response to $12.4 million.
To date, Florida has sent about $512,000 to Miami-Dade, which had expected to spend about $10 million through Sept. 30 on aerial spraying and other mosquito control efforts, including property inspections and public education campaigns.
The number of Zika infections statewide has risen to a total of 1,002 people this year. Miami-Dade has reported the most cases of any county with 237 travel-related and 156 mosquito-borne.
Of Miami-Dade’s local infections, 64 are linked to exposure in Miami Beach and 36 to mosquitoes in Wynwood, said Mara Gambineri, a spokeswoman for the Florida Department of Health.
The remaining 56 cases in Miami-Dade are either under investigation to determine the area of exposure, or they have been closed out after the state failed to find evidence of active transmission.
Epidemiologists currently are conducting 16 active investigations into Zika infections, including 12 in Miami-Dade, two in Palm Beach and two cases where the area of exposure is unknown because the affected persons had traveled both to Miami Beach and to a country overseas where the virus is widespread.
State officials have refused to disclose all locations in Miami-Dade where epidemiologists are investigating mosquito-borne Zika infections, but one of them is in the 4.5-square-mile zone of Miami Beach where mosquitoes are spreading the virus. County officials also have reported finding mosquitoes that tested positive for Zika at seven different locations within the same Miami Beach zone.
“The active investigations may end up leading us back to Miami Beach,” Gambineri said in an email. “It is too soon to say, which is why they are active investigations. A key purpose of the investigation is to find out where exposure occurred, but more importantly to find out if active transmission is ongoing.”
According to CDC guidance, “a starting point” for health officials to identify an area of local transmission is two or more infections (not related to travel or sex) among people who do not share the same household, occurring within a one-mile diameter in two or more weeks.

For three month, the well-known German documentary photographer Kai Wiedenhöfer shows on a total length of 360 meters on the remains of the Berlin Wall his photographs from Syria. His exhibition, entitled „WarOnWall“, combines two projects which he photographed in the last two years. For „40 out of one million“ he portrayed victims of the Syrian Civil War in refugee camps in Jordan. A second series consists of panorama photographs from the devastated streets and urban areas in the Syrian-Kurdish city Kobane.
The big size of the prints on the Wall – the panorama photographs measure 3×9 meters – allow the viewer almost to emerge in the scenery. A lot of small details become visible because of the amazing printing quality and the high resolution photography. The victims are portrayed in a very sensitive way and combined with their personal testimonies the imagines strongly underline the big prize that the civilian population in Syria is paying for the War.
Kai Wiedenhöfer started out as a Documentary Photographer in the 1990s and gained international recognition because of his outstanding documentation of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. The results were published in two photobooks by Steidl Publishers.
In 2013 he already used the Berlin Wall for his project “WallOnWall”. He displayed back then photographs of barriers and borders worldwide like in in Cyprus, Israel/Palestine and Korea on the Wall.
The exhibition was organized and managed by the German Society for Humanistic Photography and funded by major German political foundations and institutions such as the Heinrich-Boell-Foundation and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development. The exhibition is accompanied by a lecture program addressing political issue around the War in Syria. Part of the project is as well a fundraising campaign to provide the victims portrayed by Kai Wiedenhöfer with medical treatment.

Money is continuing to pour in from out of state into the campaign accounts for Indiana's gubernatorial candidates, Eric Holcomb and John Gregg.
A Monmouth University poll shows Democrat John Gregg up by 12 points, but a poll commissioned by the Eric Holcomb campaign shows the candidates tied.
The Chamber’s policy priority letters have included a call for pre-K expansion, more stringent anti-smoking measures and a long-term infrastructure plan.
Democratic gubernatorial candidate John Gregg stopped in Muncie on Tuesday to fire up college-aged voters.
Gov. Pence maintains Syrian refugees are a threat to Hoosiers, but during the gubernatorial debate Monday Holcomb said he would welcome refugees.
One of the biggest points of difference between Indiana’s gubernatorial candidates during their Monday debate involved the state’s debate around LGBT rights.
The University of Indianapolis is hosting the debate Monday at 7 p.m.
The candidates for governor of Indiana are set to square off in their second debate.
The Sierra Club says neither of the candidates has an enthusiastic plan to address Indiana's environmental issues.
The Monday’s town hall-style gubernatorial debate focused on education, and took place at Indianapolis’ Lawrence North High School.

Kenya is anxious once again as the World Anti-Doping Agency’s (Wada) independent commission prepares to publish the second part of its report on claims of widespread doping in athletics next week.
In the report, criminal charges are not being ruled out and focus will be on further allegations against Kenya.
“Wada chairman Richard Pound will present the findings on January 14, and a media conference will follow in Munich,” Wada said in a statement.
Even though the first part released last November did not touch on Kenya, it sent shockwaves with accusations of state-sponsored doping in Russia and allegations of corruption at the highest levels of the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF).
The association suspended Russia from all athletics activities over doping conspiracy.
Kenya had been accused of being sluggish in implementing doping structures.
ANTI-DOPING AGENCY OF KENYA
The Cabinet finally approved the establishment of the Anti-Doping Agency of Kenya (Adak) on November 12, last year.
IAAF Ethics Commission suspend three Athletics Kenya officials, outgoing president Isaiah Kiplagat, vice-president David Okeyo and former treasurer Joseph Kinyua for their alleged involvement in graft and subversion of the anti-doping control in Kenya on November 30 last year.
Sharad Rao a former deputy director of prosecutions was appointed by IAAF to investigate the officials. He has given them until January 12 to respond.
Police have questioned a whistle-blower who claimed some AK officials were taking race winnings from competitors in return for covering up their doping.
Paul Simbolei, an athletics coach at Kipsero Training Club, in Iten said he was contacted by police following claims he made in a documentary by the German broadcaster ARD/WDR.
Dozens of Kenyan athletes have been suspended or banned since 2012 over drug use.

10th President of Ireland is a campaign to symbolically appoint the deceased child William Delaney as Ireland's 10th President in 2018. A one-off symbolic and embedded gesture, which might affect a collective national sentiment of healing and solidarity, in honouring the survivors of State and Institutional abuse. William Delaney was one of many children who have died whilst in the care of the State and the religious orders appointed to the management of child care in Ireland and across the globe.
Technically although exceptional, with the support of the people of Ireland, the outgoing President Michael D Higgins, the council of state, and 20 members of the Oireachtas (the national parliament). It is proposed that, as in the case of retirement or impeachment of the president etc, the Presidential commission might fulfil all duties of the office of President whilst William Delaney is symbolically appointed the 10th president in name alone.
Willie Delaney 1957 – 1970
He was 10 years old in 1967 when he was sentenced to six years in Letterfrack, Industrial School. Operated by the congregation of Christian Brothers, the school was opened in 1887 following the 1868 Industrial schools act which facilitated lay child care management be replaced by religious orders. Between 1869 and 1969 145,899 children were committed to industrial and reformatory schools. St Joseph's was one of many units operating in the republic of Ireland, the largest figure of 61 centres in 1898. The school received a lasting notoriety through revelation of physical and sexual abuse of the boys by some of the Brothers there, with evidence of sexual abuse and extreme physical punishments going back to the 1930s. 147 children died in Letterfrack while in the care of the Christian Brothers mainly from abuse and neglect
At the end of June 1970, William was sent home to Kilkenny to start his summer holidays two weeks before the official recess. The young boy complained of terrible piercing headaches, and collapsed at his home. He was admitted to a local hospital but never regained consciousness. He died two days later. His death was, according to the attending doctor, caused by encephalitis.
Those who lived alongside Willie Delaney in Letterfrack didn't believe that their fellow inmate died from natural causes, and recalled how the 13-year-old was knocked unconscious by a blow from a broomstick yielded by a Christian Brother.
As a result of these statements, the body of Willie Delaney was disinterred as part of a police inquiry into allegations of physical and sexual abuse at Letterfrack. The initial post-mortem did not reveal conclusive evidence that the young boy died as a result of alleged head injuries.
The case of Willie Delaney is the first time that any Garda inquiry into such allegations at such an institution has resulted in an exhumation in a search for conclusive evidence of foul play. The original cause of death was upheld but the case had the effect of making public the debate around issues of memory creditability and the instrumentalisation of the victim by the media, the church, the state and the survivors.
The role Willy Delaney’s life has played in both the state appropriation of power and the victims search for justice and accountability has been unprecedented in the history of our state.
A one-off symbolic and embedded gesture, which might affect a collective national sentiment of healing and solidarity
Seamus Nolan | Artist
Legal & Technical Issues
It is proposed that for a nominal period, one minute, one hour or one day, the Office of the President of Ireland would be symbolically conferred upon the life and name of Willy Delaney. From that point forward being recognised as the legal and official 10th President of Ireland.
The technical issues are twofold, firstly that all parties involved agree to both the process and the candidate, and secondly fulfilling the legal and constitutional issues which might facilitate the idea. The first issue will be addressed in a campaign to gather support for the candidate William Delaney and the process or implementing a symbolic appointment in name alone. Secondly the legal and constitutional issues might be addressed by obtaining the consent of all parties involved and activating article 13.9 of the constitution. (ref 1)
Constitutionally the President of Ireland must be a living person. In exceptional cases the Presidential Commission assumes and fulfils all functions and duties of the office of President. The exceptions being when the office of President is vacant, or when the President is unavailable, such as on the death of the incumbent, on the resignation of the incumbent, by impeachment of the incumbent, and in the short interval between the conclusion of one President's term of office and the inauguration of a successor the next day. The Presidential commission comprises of the Chief Justice – President of the Supreme Court, Ceann Comhairle – Presiding officer of Dáil Éireann, and the Cathaoirleach – Chairman of Seanad Éireann.
Clearly a deceased person can not hold office, (ref 2) yet if the candidate was recognised in name alone, if the Presidential commission agreed in the Presidents absence to put forward this candidate for a specified time as a symbolic act, then with the support of the President, the council of state and 20 members of the Oireachtas, this may be possible.
Under Article 13.9 of the Constitution, the President and by extension the Presidential commission, does have undefined discretionary powers which, of which he or she is open to consider invoking.
(1) Article 13.9 of the Irish constitution states ‘‘The powers and functions conferred on the President by this Constitution shall be exercisable and performable by him only on the advice of the government, save where it is provided by this Constitution that he shall act in his absolute discretion or after consultation with or in relation to the Council of State …”
Speaking of the situation in 1991 where President Mary Robinson defied Taoiseach Charles j Haughey by referring a bill to the Supreme Court to test its constitutionality before signing the bill into law. Vincent Browne wrote during the 2011 Presidential election on the possibility of expanding the Presidential role, concluding that the President may not enact a role contrary to the will of government or the constitution. Suggesting that in exceptional situations and most importantly, with the support of the government of the day, the President may act upon his or her own discretion.
(2) Article 4.1° of the Irish constitution states “Every citizen who has reached his thirty-fifth year of age is eligible for election to the office of President.”

I am writing to you to as an elected official to let you know that I support the campaign to have William Delaney appointed as the 10th president of Ireland.
The campaign proposes that for a nominal period, one minute, one hour or one day, the Office of the President of Ireland would be symbolically conferred upon the life and name of William Delaney. From that point forward being recognized as the 10th President of Ireland.
In exceptional cases the Presidential Commission assumes and fulfills all functions and duties of the office of President.

The Presidential commission comprises of the Chief Justice – President of the Supreme Court, Ceann Comhairle – Presiding officer of Dáil Éireann, and the Cathaoirleach – Chairman of Seanad Éireann.
A deceased person can not fulfil the duties of the office of the president, yet in exceptional cases such as the death of the president before completing his or her full term, the presidents commission assumes the function of the office. With the consent of the people of Ireland, the Presidents commission, council of state, and the Oireachtas, it is proposed that William Delaney would be appointed the 10th president in name alone, as a symbolic act whilst the Presidential commission assumes the functions of the office.
I hereby offer my consent for William Delaney to be appointed the 10th president of Ireland and urge you as my elected representative to ensure this process might be enacted.
This proposal sets out a process which is relational in nature, and rather than operating as a physically permanent object the project foregoes this traditional manifestation in order to activate a dialogical, cultural and historic relationship between those that are honoured and those who have the power to honour.
This work operates as a grand gesture, an unprecedented act of acknowledgement and honour. The ramifications of the work around the world and into the future might set an extraordinary example for redress and social healing, and to some extent begin to address the waves of disbelief and abhorrence which have emanated from our countries recent history.
The most important issue, as I see it, was and is an unquestioned acceptance of authority over the rights of the individual, and the welfare of the most vulnerable. I recently read an article by Fintan O Toole entitled, ‘art has not reflected our grief’ which discussed the notion of the public monument and its role as catalyst to not only bring our grief and anger into focus but to positively contextualise this grief and activate agency in pursuing and creating a better society. Although it might not be possible to redeem the past, this commemoration might speak of a willingness to embrace it, to acknowledge those who have suffered, to value and learn from their experience, in the resounding pursuit of a better society.
From this proposed point forward every child who opens a history book will learn of the present generation’s willingness to embrace the mistakes of the past and value those who have suffered so deeply. This is a commemoration not just to the survivors of institutional abuse, but to those who did not survive, those who have been implicated by history in their silence and failure to intervene, and to those who are brave enough to acknowledge our collective failing and move forward in a process of healing. The Institution of the state and its citizens would acknowledge and pay homage to those who have been treated so wrongly by offering the highest accolade possible to one who suffered due to its indifference.

'The Mentalist' Season 7 Updates: Jisbon Fans Wait Longer; Bruno Heller, Simon Baker Hope Fans Want More [SPOILERS, VIDEO]
By Arlene Paredes | June 12, 2014 3:04 AM EST
"The Mentalist" Season 7 is not part of CBS fall schedule, an entertainment site confirms. Jisbon fans will wait longer, but series creator Bruno Heller and lead actor Simon Baker are optimistic the fans will be waiting for the show's return.
Actor Simon Baker watches the Boston Celtics play the Los Angeles Lakers during their NBA basketball game in Los Angeles, California March 11, 2012.
Spoiler alert: This feature contains spoilers on The Mentalist Season 6, Episode 22 (season finale). Read at your own risk.
CBS does not have The Mentalist Season 7 in the fall return of its regular primetime shows. A Deadline report raised the possibility that the Bruno Heller creation might have just thirteen (13) episodes in its next chapter. Further in the report, it was also noted this seventh chapter might also be the final season.
Heller earlier said the fans will respond positively to the Season 6 finale of The Mentalist. Using the word "satisfied," Heller was clearly referring to Jisbon (Jane and Lisbon) fans who have always wanted the two characters to end up together.
Simon Baker, who plays the titular mentalist Patrick Jane, also expressed his optimism that fans of the series will anticipate The Mentalist Season 7. Baker said the "closure" in the Season 6 finale "will leave [the fans] craving more."
Meanwhile, Joe Adler, who plays FBI Agent plays Jason Wylie, has been promoted to series regular, according to Deadline. Amanda Righetti and Owain Yeoman are not likely to return to the series as regulars, given their characters' storylines in The Mentalist Season 6.
When will 'The Mentalist' Season 7 premiere on CBS?
Fans are already speculating on the possible stories in The Mentalist Season 7. One, there could be a time jump, such that Jane and Teresa Lisbon (Robin Tunney) are already married at the season premiere. Two, the whole seventh season will show how the new couple adjust to their new relationship.
However, it must be noted that not all avid viewers of The Mentalist are Jisbon fans. Many viewers have noted in social media channels that Jane should be given much bigger cases now that he is with the FBI. The last big case in Jane's hand involved human trafficking for vital organs.

The Mentalist Season 7 is hoped to return later in the year instead of early 2015. Despite the reported ratings drop, the series remains in the list of many crime drama viewers.

April 11, 2019
When I arrived at New America in 2007, the student loan industry’s dominance of the federal student loan program looked impenetrable. It may be difficult to believe that now, given that the government makes all federal loans, but to see how far we’ve come over the last decade, it’s worthwhile to revisit the recent past.
At the time, banks and other private for-profit and nonprofit lenders made the bulk of federal loans to college students and middlemen known as guarantee agencies, which insured debt on behalf of the government. The federal government paid substantial premiums to these entities to participate in the program and essentially covered all their losses when borrowers defaulted on these loans. With so many non-governmental players involved, the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) program was extremely complex and unnecessarily expensive for taxpayers.
Nearly 15 years earlier, the Clinton administration had recognized these problems and had pushed Congress to phase out FFEL and replace it with a program in which the U.S. Department of Education would provide federal loans directly to students through their colleges. The transition to “Direct Lending,” however, came to a grinding halt on election night in 1994. Republicans gained control of Congress and gave the FFEL program a new lease on life by allowing the loan industry to compete with the government for colleges’ business.
Competition sounds good. But fighting for colleges’ allegiances with private entities that it had generously subsidized for years put the government at a major disadvantage. The lenders threw their money around and provided all sorts of illegal inducements to schools that switched back to FFEL, from helping staff their financial aid offices to allowing the schools to share in the profits the lenders made off their students’ debts.
These practices were bad enough, but there were also rumors that loan companies were paying financial aid directors off to get these administrators to steer borrowers their way for federal loans and, even more significantly, for more expensive private loans that came with variable interest rates and fees depending on the lender.
New America’s Education Policy Program was, from its start in 2006, dedicated to removing the stranglehold the loan industry had on the federal loan program. In that spirit, Michael Dannenberg, the program’s founder, asked me to investigate the rumors of kickbacks soon after I joined the program.
To my surprise, it didn’t take long to find a smoking gun. While examining ties between lenders and financial aid administrators, I discovered a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) document showing that the financial aid directors at three prominent universities had significant personal investments in a student loan company that they recommended to their students. At the time, Student Loan Xpress, a relatively new company that was trying to become a bigger player in the student loan program, had provided cut-rate, insider shares of stock worth tens of thousands of dollars to the financial aid directors at Columbia University, the University of Southern California, and the University of Texas at Austin. In exchange, these university officials, who served as consultants to the company, steered their students to borrow both federal and private loans from Student Loan Xpress, regardless of whether the company offered the best deals for their students.
But that was only part of the company’s scheme. The SEC documents also indicated that it had provided at least $100,000 worth of stock to Matteo Fontana, who was in charge of overseeing the lenders and guarantee agencies that participated in the FFEL program. Court documents later revealed that the company’s investment in Fontana had paid off. In September 2004, Fontana overruled a decision by a lower-level U.S. Department of Education employee that would have prevented Student Loan Xpress from expanding its business. Company officials had asked Fontana to intervene, saying in an e-mail that the employee’s decision not to bless an arrangement they had forged with the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Authority had left them “at a standstill and losing business by the day.”
After discovering the SEC document and doing our own reporting, I shared my findings with The New York Times. In early April, the Times ran articles about the scandal on its front page (here and here). At the same time, I reported what happened on our blog, Higher Ed Watch. As a result of my investigation, the financial aid directors lost their jobs, and in 2009, Fontana pleaded guilty to charges that he had lied to the government about his ownership in the stock and had illegally used his position to help the corporation expand its business. Under a plea agreement, he was required to pay a fine of between $85,000 and $115,000, but he did not serve any prison time. Meanwhile, Student Loan Xpress stopped making new loans in 2008.
These findings were the first to show that financial aid directors had received direct financial benefits for recommending lenders to their students and that the key Education Department in charge of overseeing the FFEL program was on the take. In the weeks and months that followed, the then-New York State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo reached multi-million settlements with lender after lender for providing illegal inducements to colleges and financial aid administrators to win their business.
The rampant corruption these investigations revealed left the student loan industry reeling. By the time former President Barack Obama proposed removing private lenders from the student loan program and shifting to 100 percent direct lending, the industry had few champions on Capitol Hill left.
Eliminating the FFEL program and having the government make all federal loans is a huge policy success not just because it ended the types of abuses that plagued the federal loan program. It also allowed policymakers to shift their focus from having to determine how much money they had to spend to make sure that private banks and lenders would continue making loans to students, to finding ways to make the federal loan program less costly and burdensome to students. For instance, it was virtually impossible for the government to introduce an income-based repayment program that all borrowers could access while private lenders held the loans. And it would’ve been much more difficult for the government to discharge federal loans of borrowers who were defrauded by their schools when banks owned this debt and expected to profit from it.
There are still serious issues that need to be addressed in the federal loan program, particularly surrounding the private companies that administer the loans and collect on them on the government’s behalf. As Congress moves forward with proposals to revamp the federal student aid program, New America’s Education Policy Program will be in the fray, just as we were a decade ago when we helped bring down a powerful industry that exploited a federal program to enrich itself at the expense of students and taxpayers alike.

HIGHLAND PARK, Ill. — Police in a Chicago suburb visited the home of the suspect in the Fourth of July mass shooting twice in 2019, including after one report that Robert E. Crimo III told a family member he planned to “kill everyone.”
A spokesman for the Lake County Major Crime Task Force told a news conference that the first interaction was in April 2019 when police in Highland Park, Ill., were contacted about Crimo attempting suicide a week earlier.
Christopher Covelli says police responded and spoke with Crimo’s parents, and the matter was dealt with by mental-health professionals as it wasn’t a law enforcement issue.
He says the next interaction happened in September of that year, when a family member reported that Crimo said he was going to “kill everyone,” and that he had a collection of knives.
Covelli says police went to his home, where they removed 16 knives, a dagger and a sword, but there was no probable cause to arrest and no complaints signed by anyone.
He says the Highland Park Police Department did immediately notify the Illinois State Police about the incident.
Authorities have also released the identities of six of the seven victims: Katherine Goldstein, 64; Irina McCarthy, 35; Kevin McCarthy, 37; Jacquelyn Sundheim, 63; and Stephen Straus, 88, all from Highland Park; as well as Nicolas Toledo-Zaragoza, 78, of Mexico.
More than 30 people were injured in the latest mass shooting to scar a community in America.
Police told an earlier news conference that the suspect planned the attack for several weeks and wore women’s clothing to disguise his identity.
Covelli said Crimo wore the clothing to conceal his facial tattoos and to blend into the crowd as he fled the scene.
He said the suspect brought a legally purchased high-power rifle to the parade, accessed a roof of a business via a fire escape ladder and fired more than 70 rounds at people gathered at the Independence Day celebration.
After the attack, police said he dropped his rifle and escaped, blending into the crowd as if he were an “innocent spectator” and walking to his mother’s house, where he borrowed her car.
Police put out an alert with information about Crimo and the vehicle, and a member of the public who spotted the vehicle dialed 911 and officers were able to apprehend him.
Covelli said a second rifle was located in the vehicle, also purchased by Crimo, and the suspect remains in custody. An update on charges is expected later today.
The deputy chief added there is no indication that anyone else was involved in the attack and a motive has not been determined. Police have no information that it was religiously or racially motivated, Covelli said, adding it appears to be “completely random.”
Covelli added Crimo is actually 21, not 22 as previously reported, and is a resident of Highwood, Ill.
Highland Park Mayor Nancy Rotering said at the news conference that Tuesday is a day of grieving together, to pause and to remember those who died as well as honour those who were injured.
She also told CNN that she was once the alleged gunman’s Cub Scout pack leader.
“Many years ago, he was just a little boy, a quiet little boy that I knew,” Rotering said. “It breaks my heart. It absolutely breaks my heart.”
Video clips posted to social media showed the festivities collapsing into panic as revellers realized they were under fire and scrambled for cover.
The violence erupted just six weeks after a deadly elementary school rampage in Uvalde, Texas, killed 19 children and two teachers.
The confluence of America’s birthday and a worsening epidemic of gun violence is sure to conjure a familiar brew of hurt, helplessness and outrage.
A statement from Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas described a “celebration of our nation punctured by tragedy,” and commended the efforts of local law enforcement.
“The security of our homeland requires more; It requires all of us, together, to address the epidemic of targeted gun violence” with new community-based prevention and intervention strategies.
In a tweet late Monday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau offered condolences to the victims, their families and the Highland Park community.
They “wanted nothing more than to celebrate their country … but instead had their lives change forever,” Trudeau tweeted.
“To the injured, and to the loved ones of the victims: Canadians are keeping you in our thoughts.”

This study presents the room-temperature operation of /spl delta/-doped Si resonant interband tunneling diodes which were fabricated by low-temperature molecular beam epitaxy. Post growth rapid thermal annealing of the samples was found to improve the current-voltage (I-V) characteristics. Optimal performance was observed for a 600/spl deg/C 1 min anneal, yielding a peak-to-valley current ratio (PVCR) as high as 1.38 with a peak current density (J/sub p/) as high as 1.42 kA/cm/sup 2/ for a device with a 4-nm intrinsic Si tunnel barrier. When the tunnel barrier was reduced to 2 nm, a PVCR of 1.41 with a J/sub p/ as high as 10.8 kA/cm/sup 2/ was observed. The devices withstood a series of burn-in measurements without noticeable degradation in either the J/sub p/ or PVCR. The structures presented are strain-free, and are compatible with a standard CMOS or HBT process.

I give Truck Stopped: Satan’s Devils MC #11 by Manda Mellett, 4 stars.
Truck is a member of the Satan’s Devils. Also a former firefighter, he was fighting a bad wildfire when he ended up badly burned and injured. He cannot continue as a firefighter, he cannot ride a bike anymore. He does not see any hope of being able to do anything useful at all. So he ignores everyone, preferring to stay in his home. Until Allie shows up at his door. Yeah, she treats him better than he ever expected, she tries to be a friend. But she’s just a sweet butt, you can’t be friends with them or have a real relationship with them. Can he?
Allie was forced to work the streets since before she was even an adult. The opportunity to become a sweet butt for this club was the best thing that happened to her. She enjoys the sex, plus she doesn’t have to worry anymore. She’s enjoyed the 10 years she’s been there. But things have changed. She had one night with Truck before the fire that changed his life. That night made her feel things she didn’t think she was capable of. But can she get him to see the real her?
This is such a good book. I have not read all of the previous 10 books, but it is not really needed (although probably a bit more helpful) to understand what is going on. It is written differently than the others and I enjoyed that. The story of Truck and Allie is amazing. They go through so much, both individually and together. Just when you think they will get the happy ending they deserve, something else happens. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. The author makes the characters so real, you get emotionally attached. Make sure you bring the tissues!
A motorcycle club romance book with lots of action, some humor and some hot scenes, this book I’d meant for adults and I highly recommend it.

It was another great year for Metro Vancouver’s regional parks in 2019, as work continued to protect the region’s important natural areas and connect people to nature.
According to the recently released 2019 Regional Parks Annual Report, visits to regional parks increased to nearly 12 million in 2019, with nine locations seeing record levels of visitation. Nearly 60,000 people took part in over 1,000 public programs, events and outreach activities. These initiatives were supported by close to 7,250 volunteers and regional park partners, who contributed over 22,000 hours to stewardship, education and interpretation.
As the region’s population continues to grow and communities become increasingly urban, regional parks become more and more valued by residents and important to the ecosystems they protect. To help address increasing demand, over 80 hectares of new park land were added to the regional parks system, to help mitigate regional climate change impacts.
Regional parks have seen a 67% increase in visitors over the past couple of months, compared to 2019, as residents look for ways to access nature and maintain their physical and mental health during the COVID-19 situation.
Help keep parks open by staying local and maintaining physical distancing from the moment you arrive in the park.
Additional information is available in the 2019 Regional Parks Annual Report.

Cape Point is a many historic tales and legends. In 1688 Bartolomeu Dias passed around the point in a storm without even knowing it and only got to see it for the first time on the return journey. He named it Cabo Tormentosa or the Cape of Storms. Its also off this point and coastline that the mythical Flying Dutchman under the command of Captain Hendrick van der Decken is doomed to sail into eternity. Cape Point is also one of the biggest tourist attractions in Cape Town with thousands of tourists flocking there to admire its scenic beauty and sheer cliffs. Visitors to the point usually take the path (or funicular for those not in the mood to walk) up to the old Lighthouse at the top from where the point itself can be seen.
The old Cape Point Lighthouse was built in 1860 and could be seen out to sea from a distance of 36 miles. The problem was that when misty and cloudy conditions moved in the lighthouse was invisible to ships. After the Portuguese liner Lusitania wrecked just south of Cape Point in 1911 it was decided to have a new lighthouse built close to the point itself at a much lower elevation. The old lighthouse is still around and truth be told, probably gets photographed a lot more by tourists than the new lighthouse does.

During the Italian Renaissance, dozens of early modern writers published collections of private correspondence, using them as vehicles for self-presentation, self-promotion, social critique, and religious dissent. Writing Gender in Women's Letter Collections of the Italian Renaissance examines the letter collections of women writers, arguing that these works were a studied performance of pervasive ideas about gender as well as genre, a form of self-fashioning that variously reflected, manipulated, and subverted cultural and literary conventions regarding femininity and masculinity. Meredith K. Ray presents letter collections from authors of diverse backgrounds, including a noblewoman, a courtesan, an actress, a nun, and a male writer who composed letters under female pseudonyms. Ray's study includes extensive new archival research and highlights a widespread interest in women's letter collections during the Italian Renaissance that suggests a deep curiosity about the female experience and a surprising openness to women's participation in this kind of literary production.... leprosy, cure gout, and freshen onea#39;s eyes after crying, all subjects commonly treated in manuals (Valorose donne, 115rav). ...

I've already shared one poem from Mary Karr in this forum before, but at the time I was running out of town and unable to say much about it. I'm currently working my way through her marvelous collection Sinners Welcome, and cannot say enough about her. Karr is an accomplished and noted poet who converted to Catholicism as an adult; she has a wicked sense of humor, a metaphysical eye, and seems constitutionally unable to use language uninterestingly. Her poem below is part of her "Descending Theology" series, and speaks powerfully to the tangible creatureliness of the child born in Bethlehem.
My own poem afterward is a brief reflection on a line toward the end of her poem. I hope both are a blessing to you in this season of Advent.
[Update: I have taken down poems I am in the process of submitting for publication. I apologize for the confusion and/or inconvenience!]

Descending Theology: The Nativity
By Mary Karr
She bore no more than other women bore,
but in her belly's globe that desert night the earth's
full burden swayed.
Maybe she held it in her clasped hands as expecting women often do
or monks in prayer. Maybe at the womb's first clutch
she briefly felt that star shine
as a blade point, but uttered no curses.
Then in the stable she writhed and heard
beasts stomp in their stalls,
their tails sweeping side to side
and between contractions, her skin flinched
with the thousand animal itches that plague
a standing beast's sleep.
But in the muted womb-world with its glutinous liquid,
the child knew nothing
of its own fire. (No one ever does, though our names
are said to be writ down before
we come to be.) He came out a sticky grub, flailing
the load of his own limbs
and was bound in cloth, his cheek brushed
with fingertip touch
so his lolling head lurched, and the sloppy mouth
found that first fullness -- her milk
spilled along his throat, while his pure being
flooded her. (Each
feeds the other.) Then he was
left in the grain bin. Some animal muzzle
against his swaddling perhaps breathed him warm
till sleep came pouring that first draught
of death, the one he'd wake from
(as we all do) screaming.

Muscadines have the most powerful antioxidant capacity of any other fruit, surpassing even blueberries and pomegranates, according to Amanda Goodwin, Dietetic Intern at OCH Regional Medical Center.
“Antioxidants are important because they help rid our bodies of free radicals which cause cell damage,” Goodwin said.
Goodwin said muscadines are also naturally disease-resistant due to a chemical compound called “reservatrol,” a substance also found in red wines.
“Reservatrol may help reduce the risk of coronary artery disease and lower cholesterol,” Goodwin said.
Muscadines contain no fat and no cholesterol, and minimal amounts of sodium. According to Goodwin, one cup of muscadines yield 60-100 calories (depending on skin color, lighter skinned being slightly less in calories) and they are rich in vitamin C, fiber, and potassium.
The USDA Agricultural Research Service in a article titled “America’s First Grape: The Muscadine” cited a study reported January 1997 in Science, researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago purified resveratrol from grape sources and showed it to have anticarcinogenic activity, meaning that it inhibits tumor promotion. Muscadines also contain ellagic acid, a natural organic compound thought to inhibit the start of cancer caused by certain chemicals. [See “Building a Better Strawberry,” Agricultural Research, September 1991, pp. 24-25; and “Boosting Ellagic Acid in Strawberries,” Agricultural Research, August 1997, pp. 17-18.]
Pamela Redwine, Area Agent for Nutrition and Food Safety for the Mississippi State University Extension Service said she loves muscadines.
“When I was a child my dad had a small muscadine vineyard in Yalobusha county where I live,” Redwine said. “He would gather buckets full and my mom would make muscadine jelly and preserves — and I would always steal a few just to eat. As a matter of fact, I went to visit my parents the other day there was a bucket of muscadines sitting on the counter — I, of course, had to take a few for a snack!”
Redwine said when choosing muscadines, select those that are uniform in shape and color and that are free of soft spots or other blemishes. She suggests storing muscadines unwashed, in a shallow container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Muscadines and scuppernogs are commonly found growing wild or cultivated for food to make wines, juices, jams and jellies. There are several varieties of muscadines such as Black Beauty, Granny Val, Jumbo and Black Fry.
And during the month of September through early October, muscadines are ripe for the picking.
One local source for a variety of muscadines and scuppernongs is Reese Orchard, a you-pick orchard located in the Sessums Community, just outside of Starkville.
Reese Orchard has been serving the local community as a you-pick orchard since 1981. It was founded by Jack and Gloria Reese and now owned and operated by their son, David Reese.
The orchard began as a working dairy farm in 1955. David Reese said Oktibbeha County reportedly had more dairy farms than any county in the state back then, though his family and most of their neighbors ceased dairy farming by the late 60s. There are only two remaining dairies in the county - both in the Sessums community, just up the road from Reese Orchard.
In the early years, the Reese family grew peaches, figs, muscadines, apples, pears, and boysenberries, but not a lot and only for their own consumption.
Reese said the interim period after they discontinued dairy farming but before planting blueberries, some of his older brothers farmed soybeans on this and other farms in the late 70s, but as with dairying, that too went bust for most small farmers in our area including his brothers. “Commodity price farming has killed off most small farmers here and all across the nation for decades now,” Reese said. “I see no end to this trend with any farm connected to commodity markets.”
A survival tactic that has proved very successful for Reese Orchard, is direct marketing to customers, either at the farm or at farmers’ markets.
“Amazingly there are now even a couple of dairies in the state that are processing and direct marketing their milk and milk products,” Reese said. “They are no longer victims of commodity market pricing. I really hope they succeed and others join them and us in direct marketing of healthy produced food that is available locally directly from the producer.”
In 1980, the farm became a commercial fruit orchard when they planted several acres of blueberries when that industry was just taking off in Mississippi. Reese said the orchard’s soil varies a lot and the blueberry plants only performed well in a small area, so starting in the mid 80s they were removed from areas where they performed poorly and replanted with pears, and later with muscadines and Japanese persimmons, which serve as the main fruits in the orchard today.
Reese said Japanese persimmons are their most popular and best selling fruit by a wide margin (ripe in October). However, they are still expanding the pear and muscadine areas.
“We have also added a few dozen apple trees of different varieties in the last few years to see how well they will do, and we are even trialing about 50 pomegranates of around 20 something varieties,” Reese said. “We are expecting only a few of those to perform well here.”
Aside from the farming lifestyle and knowledge of providing healthy real food, Reese said he undoubtedly loves the quality of their customers at Reese Orchard.
“Our customer base is different than that what you might find at a typical store in town,” Reese said. “They are motivated health minded seekers of clean nutritious food for themselves and their families.The local food movement appears to be growing faster than the number of small farms are. This may be bad for the consumer, but good for us who have stuck it out through hard times and survived because fruit growing is a lesson in patience. Some of our high quality pears take many years to come into production. Persimmon trees too are pretty slow to get any production out of, but once they are producing fruit they have a long productive life if taken care of.”
Reese Orchard has a variety of muscadines ready to begin picking this week. After making a picking appointment, customers are given a bucket and invited to pick. The buckets will be weighed when leaving for the day. Call to find out the best picking time and availability at 324-1509.
Reese Orchard is open Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. For more information, go to http://www.reeseorchard.com .

Healthofficials are warning Americans to stop eating romaine lettuce because of a newE. coli outbreak.
The Food and Drug Administration said it is working with officials in Canada onthe outbreak, which has sickened32 people in 11 states and 18 people in Canada.
The contaminated lettuce is likely still on the market so the FDA is warningnot to eat any romaine.
The strain identified is different than the one linked to romaine earlier thisyear... but appears similar to last year's outbreak linked to leafy greens.

More than 1000 people travelled from Northern Ireland to access abortion in England or Wales last year.
Government figures show the scale of the issue, where people have to have medical care far from home.
Northern Ireland has some of the strictest abortion laws in the world, permitting it only when there is serious risk to the health of the mother.
Women from Northern Ireland can access abortion on the NHS in England and Wales.
Imogen Stephens, Marie Stopes UK’s medical director, said: ‘It is shameful that, in 2018, more than 1,000 women from Northern Ireland are still being forced to travel to England to access abortion care, including those who have become pregnant as a result of rape or incest or whose foetus has no chance of survival outside of the womb.
‘Many more women are unable to travel and have no option but to risk prosecution by ordering pills online or continuing a pregnancy they do not want.’
Marie Stopes provides lawful abortion services in the UK.
Ms Stephens added: ‘Marie Stopes UK calls on the UK Government to stop this suffering and ensure Northern Irish women are finally afforded the caring and compassionate services they deserve.’
In 2018, there were 1,053 abortions for women from Northern Ireland, an increase of 192 from 2017, the Department of Health and Social Care said.
The Democratic Unionists are adamantly opposed to any liberalisation of Northern Ireland’s abortion law.
Campaigners want the UK Government to legislate in the absence of Stormont powersharing.
Grainne Teggart, Amnesty International’s Northern Ireland campaign manager, said it is unsurprising that the number travelling has increased.
She added: ‘The ongoing near-total ban on abortion doesn’t stop women needing or seeking abortions, it just forces them to board planes to access the healthcare.
‘Women should be treated with respect and dignity and given the right to make choices about their own body at home.’
Marion Woods, spokeswoman for anti-abortion group Both Lives Matter, said she was disappointed but not surprised by the increase.
‘It remains the case that the rate of abortion in Northern Ireland is nowhere near the figure of 17.4 per 1,000 women which the 2018 figures reveal for England and Wales. We know our law and policy saves lives,’ she said.
More than 100,000 people are alive today who would otherwise not be if Northern Ireland had adopted the 1967 Abortion Act, she added.


At Ventura Motorsports Gathering, we are extremely interested in BMW Racing. In the United States, Pro 3 Racing is a racing class for BMWs. The Pro 3 Racing class is designed to emphasize driver ability rather than the design and preparation of the car.
Pro 3 racing started with humble beginnings when a set of twin brothers, along with a few buddies from the Puget Sound area started racing for fun. Now the BMW CCA, PRO3 has grown to be the largest-subscribed amateur race class in the International Conference of Sports Car Clubs (ICSCC). Many Washington State natives have gravitated to the sport because of its local roots. Local mechanics have embraced the sport like driver and Redmond auto repair mechanic Kevin Doyle. Kevin is a Pro 3 racer that also owns a garage in Redmond where he employs some of his closest friends who are also Redmond mechanics. The idea behind this class was that it was going to start with the intent that PRO3 would be an affordable option for local Washington guys that wanted to get behind the wheel of a race car without breaking the bank. Their love of high-performance vehicles and tricked out rides took driving these Pro 3 cars to the next level. Looking back to when it all began in 2002, PRO3 has evolved as the stepping stone race car and truly an effective gateway for amateur racers here in the Pacific Northwest. Redmond is producing world-class drivers and mechanics that continue to support the sport of race car driving.
The ICSCC has a long reach that spans across three states and then into Canada and has roughly 420 licensed Pro 3 drivers in its pro ranks. Among those licensed race car drivers, about 80 of those drivers will get behind the wheel of a PRO3 race car each season, with the average grid size being about 20 cars deep at each of the 14 races that run throughout the ICSCC race season in the Pacific Northwest and beyond. There is not another class in ICSCC that can boost the strength in pure grid numbers or the annual growth of the PRO3 circuit thanks to the help of the locals in Redmond and throughout Washington State.
There is also high participation among drivers across a wide range of driver skill sets and racing experience, the PRO3 provides very stiff competition for any driver willing to slip behind the wheel of a Pro3 and get their foot on the gas. More recently, as the collective experience of the race class has improved and grown together, and the technology used within the cars has become more advanced it is not uncommon to have a 25-car grid with the first-place driver only separated from the last place driver by just a few seconds. The top ten drivers in a typical PRO3 race weekend will most likely be separated by less than a full second of time from car to car.
These days, modern PRO3 racing is neither spec-class racing nor is it an open door for vehicle modifications. The primary focus is on the race car driver and his/her ability to run a mistake-free race for the team. In such a tight racing scenario, the reality is that the driver who makes the fewest mistakes will usually win against his opponent on the track. Although the class rules tightly regulate how many modifications can be made to the cars, there remains enough flexibility for car owners and mechanics to experiment or engineer something new that could eventually benefit the entire grid. Many of the Pro3 mechanics in Washington State are innovative technicians with both race experience and real-life experience owning local repair shops in Redmond and the surrounding areas.
This is something that definitely sets the PRO3 circuit apart from other classes and other racing organizations in general, these guys share information and work in tandem to improve their cars and grow the sport. On any given race weekend, you will find many of the competitors and mechanics sharing data from fast laps, helping to analyze and compare track notes from driver to driver, sharing tools and parts, and even helping out when a car needs to be repaired. It’s all in the name of good sportsmanship, fast cars, and good fun because we all want to beat our competition on the track, not in the garage!
It is this mentality that has brought the drivers and mechanics together and helped build camaraderie among each other that has helped build the PRO3 racing circuit into the world-class sport that it is today. The PRO3 racing motto from the beginning still remains true to this day: “We are Friends between checkered and green flags.”

|This demo CD-R sports three tracks from Hieronymus Bosch. Much more primitive than their CD, but showing the promise of coolness to come. Two finely written vocals accompany the instro here. While they are demos for sure, and while you can hear the compressor breathe, music is of much higher caliber than the vast majority of early works from pop-oriented bands. I think Hieronymus Bosch are a band to watch.|
Picks: Napoleon Invades Russia
Track by Track Review
Aside from over compression that you can hear breathe, "Napoleon" is a cool track. Aggressive and powerful, with a surf and rock sound that combine effectively. Thick, double picked, and very edgy.

The quirky characters and Coney Island setting of Tara Altebrando’s new novel were so engaging that I read it on the subway to and from Coney, and then in a car on the road, in an effort to keep the story from ending.
Who wouldn’t want to belong to the Dreamland Social Club? In this novel for teenage readers, the club is an unofficial group frequented by a freaky clique at Coney Island High School. Among its members is Babette, a goth dwarf who befriends the novel’s 16-year-old heroine Jane with the explanation: “You seem cool. And you’ve got carny blood, even if it’s highly diluted.”
Jane is cool, though it takes most of the book for her to develop a sense of belonging and join the club. She and her brother Marcus have lived a nomadic life with their dad, who has designed roller coasters from Tokyo to Paris. The carny blood that Babette refers to comes from their mom’s side of the family, who were genuine Coney Island characters. But Jane and Marcus have never met their late grandparents and can hardly remember their mother, who died when they were little kids.
As a carny kid and Coney Island devotee, I felt drawn to the story of Jane’s life in Coney, where her family moves after inheriting her grandfather’s house. There’s lots of fun stuff in the attic. Jane soon learns that her grandfather “Preemie” Porcelli got his start in Coney as one of the premature babies on exhibit in Dreamland’s Baby Incubator Show. Her new friends remember him as the operator of a water race game on the Boardwalk calling them in to win prizes.
There’s also Jane’s tantalizing flirtation with Leo aka Tattoo Boy, whose father owns a Boardwalk dive bar that’s being evicted by a real estate developer who has bought up Coney Island. Does the last part sound familiar? The author has done a remarkable job of weaving Coney history and current events—both real and imagined– into a marvelous coming-of-age story.
Among the novel’s memorable details are a carousel horse from the fictional equivalent of Coney’s “B & B Carousell” chained to a radiator, vintage films of Jane’s grandmother who was a “Birdwoman” in the sideshow, and keys hidden away by her mother that still unlock long-vanished attractions. Jane’s family home gives up all of its secrets and Coney Island becomes her real home.
Tara Altebrando will appear at “Great Summer Reads for Teens” with a few other teen authors on Thursday, June 16, from 6-8 pm at Books of Wonder, 18 West 18th Street, New York, NY 10011. Ph 212- 989-3270.
Dreamland Social Club by Tara Altebrando. Ages 14 and up. 389 pages. Published by Dutton Books, 2011. Hardcover, $16.99.

Taking these snapshots as a starting point, each movement in 'Transition' features one or two instruments, and, thematically, explores a significant invention or discovery that took place at around the same time as the invention and development of these instruments. Collaborating with Vessel updates this technological chronology by including the tools of the digital age.
Immix is lead by Australian-born composer and sax player Daniel Thorne. The now Liverpool-based artist has a genuine passion for exploring and creating music in a diverse range of forms; composed and improvised, acoustic and electronic, and the various shades in-between. Founded in 2014, the idea behind Immix has been to galvanise the innovative musical voices from across the country.
With the addition of Vessel, the moniker of Bristolian electronic composer Sebastian Gainsborough, Immix found a valuable first partner in exploring forward-thinking composition that slips between the cracks of traditional and contemporary styles. A stalwart of the UK experimental electronica community, Vessel's solo work has received critical acclaim for it’s post-industrial, visceral tone, using a sonic palette derived from the creation of home-made instruments, aiding in the creation of his signature nonreplicable sound.
As the first in this series, March 18, 2016 will see the release of 'Transition' on 12" vinyl and download, followed by a string of live performances by the collaborators. Future episodes will bring further collaborations by Daniel Thorne’s ensemble with other forward-thinking artists and ensure Immix continues to evolve and expand. “A remarkable new piece of music” – Mary Anne Hobbs, BBC Radio 6 Music.

Europe expects! With the stakes high for the future of the single currency, French and German leaders are to meet in Paris in the midst of the raging euro zone debt crisis.
But even before Chancellor Angela Merkel sits down with President Nicholas Sarkozy the word is that nothing sensational is likely to be announced.
Although many in the financial world see the creation of a eurobond as the best way to help debt-laden Greece and other struggling euro zone members, this is strongly opposed by Germany.
Instead a lesser joint Franco-German bond could be a possibility along with a commitment to improve economic management and cooperation within the zone.

Urth's Sustainable Practices
Our practice is based on sourcing local, sustainable, and whenever possible organic ingredients. Urth enjoys many direct, special relationships with local farmers. Urth Caffé's menu offers a fresh, healthy, sustainable way of eating, drinking and living by using 100% natural ingredients completely free of any artificial ingredients or GMOs.
We use the creamiest butter, grass-fed beef, local family free-range vegetarian-fed eggs; organic and hormone-free dairy, seasonal sustainable fruits and organic salad lettuces from the farm brought directly to our cafes each day.
Thanks to our relationships with Southern California local farmers – we'd like to introduce you to Kenter Canyon Farms, Fillmore.
Kenter Canyon Farms, Fillmore
Kenter Canyon Farms originated as a family farm in Northern California that grew Mesclun, the French slang term for "mix" describing a blend of small, young leaves of arugula, lettuces, dandelion, frisée, chervil, and whatever the garden yielded any given day. Kenter's organic vegetables were on the menu of Chez Panisse created by Alice Waters, pioneer of California cuisine focused on organic, sustainably grown ingredients.
Kenter Canyon founder Andrea Crawford saw the possibility of developing the salad model she had created for Waters, and approached Spago's Wolfgang Puck to see if he would like this kind of salad for his restaurant. He didn't hesitate and in 1985, Crawford and her family relocated to Los Angeles where they developed the first urban salad garden.
Today, Kenter Canyon Farms is based in Fillmore, with seven additional ranches nearby ranging from 10 to 40 acres each dedicated to certified, organic farming. "We chose Kenter Canyon Farms because they are famous for their quality and sustainability in the organic gourmet baby lettuce market," said Shallom Berkman, Urth Caffé co-owner.
"We're one of the few remaining small organic growers of these commodities," Kenter Canyon co-owner Robert Dedlow explained to Urth's Chef Davide Diova during a recent tour. "This is a niche that has been taken over by very big agricultural concerns. But we're still doing it locally to supply the L.A. area." Dedlow and Diova visited a propagation house where perennial herbs such as marjoram, tarragon, rosemary, oregano and sage are being nurtured for harvest in the fall. Every 20 minutes the crop is irrigated by overhead misters.
Showing a stem of kale, Dedlow pointed out a ladybug. "That's what you want to see. The ladybug is a beneficial insect, a predatory insect that eats aphids," he explained. "You can see that this has not been treated with any systemic chemical or pesticide. If it had, the lady bug couldn't life there."
"That's what organic agriculture is all. It's about letting nature take its course."
More on Sustainability
Often times we are asked about our standards and philosophy in regards to the sustainability and quality of our ingredients. The purity, quality, and sustainability of Urth coffee, tea, foods and desserts is a passion that drives and inspires us every day. Urth standards for coffee include 100% certified organically grown, heirloom, sustainable agriculture, shade grown, direct trade, and award winning quality.
Our herbal teas are 100% certified organically grown primarily from the Pacific Northwest. Urth fine teas come from organic estates or ancient tea farms that use traditional, sustainable methods.
Urth Caffé serves only the highest quality, all-natural ingredients—organically grown whenever possible. We provide a menu that fits the spectrum of healthy diets—from strict vegan to pure decadence – made from 100% natural ingredients from the creamiest butter, grass fed beef, free range vegetarian-fed, organic eggs, organic and hormone-free dairy products, seasonal fruit, and greens supplied directly from local and or organic farms.
We do not serve any product that is made with any artificial ingredients or GMOs. We offer many completely vegan dishes and desserts, and health conscious foods that meet many health conscious diets such as desserts made with fruit juice instead of refined sugars. Urth Caffé standards mean for you a fresh, healthy, sustainable way of eating, drinking and living.
