This weekend, Enrique Peña Nieto presented his proposal for the tax reform. Despite the approval pending by the senate and congress, the proposals have caused a great deal of discontent among many Mexicans.
When it comes to Baja California and other border states, the main problem is the standardization of the Tax percentage, increasing to 16% up from the current 11%, making it the same as the rest of the country. What is the issue with this? The reason for the lower tax percentage in border states was so Mexican products could compete with those purchased in the United States.
Local business owners have made it a point that this simple measure could cause the loss of at least 100,000 jobs in the next three years. This conclusion, which might sound as an exaggeration, comes from a group of economic experts who held a panel at the offices of the news paper “La Crónica”.
As counter proposals and alternatives to the Presidents plan, the panelists seemed to be in favor of widening the tax base rather than raising the taxes as a whole given that this would affect those with a lower income as well as those who are have a moderate to high income, and asked that the 8 affected states formed a common front.
Lest we forget that 3k million pesos were pardoned to the entertainment titan “Televisa”, actions like this, make people wonder who this tax reform is actually benefiting. Experts agree that what is necessary is for business owners and highly paid professionals to be more responsible and pay their taxes on time, rather than increasing or adding taxes over all, because that as we all know, charging more money doesn't mean that you will get more money.
Nearly 60% of Mexico's income goes to around 500 major companies, is anyone checking if their taxes are paid? Adding to that is the fact that over 50% of the Mexican population lives in poverty, does this seem like there is any kind of balance?
The team from Aristegui Noticias provided a digest of the tax reforms with the following key points:
Impuesto al Valor Agregado (IVA or Value Added Taxes, VAT)
- There will be no taxes on food or medicines
- There will be no tax exemption on purchases, rent or mortgage payments when it comes to housing.
- There will be no tax exemption for educational services.
- All tax payers will pay the same rate of 16% even those in border states.
- All temporary imports for factory assembly will be taxed.
- The 0% tax rate on gum and processed foods for home pets will be suppressed.
- The trade or sale of gold (be it ornamental or art pieces), jewelry, Goldsmithing, and gold bullion will be taxed as well.
- It proposes to eliminate export processing right to apply the rate of 0% to the provision of hotel and tourism related services
- It is proposed that when any asset is donated that proof of the property transfer be provided.
- sets a VAT exemption on interests received or paid to Cooperative Savings and Loan societies, Popular Financial Companies, Community financial societies and rural financial integration organizations
Impuesto sobre la Renta (ISR or Income Tax)
- A 32% income tax will be applied to individuals who's income is greater than 500k pesos a year as well as the current company income tax.
- Stock market earnings and currency will be taxed up to a 10%
- Stock exchange income of individuals will be taxed by 10%.
- The income tax bill will be reduced from 299 articles to 186.
- The reform seeks to eliminate lower tax grades for small businesses
- A new tax grade is proposed to allow Pemex to have operating expenses, given that the taxes will amount to 10% of the production value.
Impuesto Empresarial a Tasa Unica (IETU Enterprise Tax)
-This tax will be eliminated, causing a 144, 500, million pesos loss.
-Cash deposit tax will also be eliminated, however banks will have to keep track of all cash transactions over 15,000 pesos.
Impuesto Especial sobre Produccion y servicios (IEPS Special Tax on Production and Services)
-Sales and import tax on beer with an alcohol level of 14º or more will continue to be 26.5 %
- Beer and Alcohol with 20º or more will have a tax set at 53%
- New tax will be added to soft drinks as well as flavor syrups, essences, flavor powders or flavor extracts.
- New Sales tax will be added for fossil fuels according to their carbon content.
- New tax on pesticides will be added, which will be from 6% to 9%, based on their toxicity level
- Fuel prices will be calculated based on the prices in National and International markets
- A new procedure will be established to which tax authorities will have to abide by when it comes to hearings and defense statements in case of closure of establishments where gambling and raffles are held
- Establishing a requirement for producers and importers of cigarettes and other tobacco products, to print a safety code in each one of the products or packs for their sale in Mexico, following the guidelines the SAT (Mexico's IRS) establishes.

Do you find yourself hunching over your desk, with an aching back and strained neck after each work day? Are you constantly crossing and uncrossing your legs, leaning to one side, or feeling restless and fidgety? An ergonomic chair with back support is the most integral element of your desk setup, and should be the first item you purchase for your workstation, as well as the workstations of your employees.
- Best Office Chair For Lower Back Pain That Will Blow Your Mind
- The 5 Best Reclining Chairs with Foot Rest in 2018
Office workers can spend more than 8 hours a day at their workstations, which makes the design of your desk furniture an integral part of the company’s hardware. How people sit, move, and bend during the day affects how they think, how they feel, and how productive they are. It also affects their health.
This is an obvious fact for many workers, but others don’t notice the damage to a non-ergonomic space until it’s too late. One of the most common problems is repetitive strain injury, defined as an injury to the musculoskeletal and nervous systems that may be caused by repetitive tasks, forceful exertions, vibrations, mechanical compression, or sustained or awkward positions. These injuries can result in things like Carpal Tunnel, Sciatica, Scoliosis, and nerve damage. Ergonomic chair design may be the most crucial part of an ergonomic workspace.
The spine is the primary alignment structure of the body. Sitting for long periods of time is already bad enough, and sitting in non-ergonomic ways causes extra damage. When the spine becomes out of alignment or stressed due to muscle tension and shifts in repetitive muscle use, the entire body is then out of alignment—a condition that worsens over time and reveals itself in many kinds of pains and diseases. Muscles have to accommodate this misalignment and the whole body begins to move and rest in unnatural and strenuous ways. Unfortunately, while many workers are focused on their tasks, they may not notice how these poses and movements affect them until they’ve performed them hundreds of times.
A well-designed ergonomic chair for back pain, such as Autonomous’s Ergo 2, can reduce the causes of spinal stress and misalignment by allowing the user to sit in a full spectrum of completely balanced, supported, and moveable positions.
How does the office chair back support work?
There are some rules of thumb in using (and choosing) your perfect ergonomic chair:
Mold your chair to your body
Your seat height should be one-quarter of your body height. Your body should feel balanced and weightless. There should be neck support, lumbar support, and arm support seamlessly integrated into the ergonomic chair design. Your arms should bend at a 90-degree angle. Most office furniture is designed for people who fall within a 5’5” to 5’9” height range, so if you fall outside this you may need to seek out a more customized ergonomic office chair with back support.
Make sure your chair is suited to your specific work and body movements
How to Think of the range of tasks you do at your desk. For typing based work you settle in certain posture, and assume another whilst sketching by hand. Be mindful of what support you need from your ergonomic chair for your individual way of working, and tweak this continually. You will have to adjust the ergonomic chair design for each task or posture, or buy multiple types of ergonomic chairs with back support.
Change your posture and chair settings often
In addition to getting the right ergonomic chair design for your specific workstation, you work with your chair to prevent your body from settling into one static pose. An ergonomic chair for back pain should be adjustable at all points — it should include a tiltable base and back panel, as well as head and neck support. Deluxe ergonomic chair designs tend to include features that make switching between different poses instinctive. Everything in your ergonomic chair design should be easily moveable but stable.
For instance a quick-pull lever for the back panel that goes from a 90-degree to 60-degree angle, and which also tilts the seat panel downward for resting. Speaking of which, you should stand up, stretch, and move at least every 60-90 minutes. Taking regular breaks is important for the entire body -- the brain is a muscle, too, after all. Autonomous’s SmartDesk 3 includes an app that knows when you’ve been sitting for this long, and will send you reminders to take breaks and even order meals.
What particular stretches and movements should you do on these breaks
Spinal stretches - Plenty of spinal stretches can be found in yoga and pilates warm ups
Leg and foot stretches - Try these stretches while sitting.
Power Walking - Either take a walking lunch break, or try making your meetings walking meetings. If your office is in a city, we recommend taking your camera or headphones and going on a brief urban expedition.
Chatting with a co-worker - This one is more for your mind and mood than your body, but it’s important to give yourself occasional social breaks to connect with other people. You’ll feel re-energised after connecting with a colleague, no matter how briefly, especially if you tend to work in silence.
Playing a game - It’s become somewhat of a cliche for startup offices to have ping pong tables, but they’re there for good reason: ping pong and similar games are easy for players of any fitness level, and involves strategic thinking to keep the mind sharp. You could also set up a table football or chess tournament.
Arm and neck stretches - These “deskercise” stretches for the upper body are worth doing every day.
Jumping Jacks and Pushups - You might have to find a nearby park for this one, depending on how comfortable you are doing aerobics in front of your boss, but quick aerobic exercises like this help redistribute the blood flow after hours of sedentary poses. They also aid in digestion and give your brain an oxygen boost.
Straight-up Gym Sessions - Many gyms and fitness studios offer high-intensity lunch hour fitness class to get your blood pumping.
Instead of awkwardly twisting your body, you should use the ergonomic chair’s swivel function to manoeuvre your upper body around your desk, for example when taking a landline call whilst on the computer. This again prevents your body from moving in jarring ways, or from putting excessive stress on the muscles on one side of your body. You should never be turning your neck, shoulders, or waist to look at something or reach an item on your desk. Any good ergonomic chair for back pain will have a five legged base with wheels and a fully rotational seat.
Chatting with a co-worker
Sadly, just buying an ergonomic chair with back support isn’t enough. You have to know what additional features to look out for. It’s also counterproductive to buy an ergonomic chair for back pain, then fail to use the ergonomic chair design to its full capabilities. If you make sure to do your research and follow the guidance above your ergonomic chair with back support will prove an invaluable asset to your workspace, and will enhance how you work throughout the day, every single day.

Even if you don’t consider yourself especially handy, there are some tools that everyone needs to know how to use. Why? Because having even a basic knowledge of how to use common tools can help with quick fixes and do-it-yourself projects around the house, so you don’t have to hire someone to do something you can easily do yourself.
These basic tools can be found at your local hardware store and should be part of your home tool kit. Keeping them around can help you get out of a jam and fix that wobbly table that has been driving you crazy. It’s also helpful to know the names and proper uses of tools so you can find what you need at the hardware store and use the best tool for the job.
Knowing how to use a basic set of tools can save you money and can help you be more independent. Here are the top 10 tools everyone needs to know how to use.
A tape measure is an essential part of any tool kit. It comes in handy for dozens of things, from measuring wood before you cut it to measuring the space you have available for that new couch. You’d be surprised at the number of people who don’t know how to take proper measurements. Learn how to measure things correctly and your projects will turn out right the first time. Find a good tape measure that allows you to lock it into place when you take measurements, learn how to use it and then keep it within reach.
Screwdriver and Electric Drill
Who hasn’t had to tighten a screw at some point? Screwdrivers and electric drills are a must when you need to tighten something, assemble furniture or when you’re building your own creations in the garage.
Screwdrivers are best for small projects or to tighten screws. Electric drills are ideal when you need to add a screw to a place that doesn’t already have a hole. The drill will let you place a hole and drill a screw in no time, so big projects are a snap.
A hammer may seem like an obvious choice for a home tool kit, but it’s an essential one. Learn how to use one safely so you can avoid smashed fingers and damaged walls. Also learn how to use the back of the hammer for removing nails.
Here’s a demonstration of how you can use HSS Hire’s Rapid Fire Cartidge Hammer.
Socket and Combination Wrench
A socket wrench is perfect for tightening and loosening fasteners. A complete set will include attachments in different sizes for different projects. Knowing how to use a socket wrench can help with quick repairs around the house.
A set of combination wrenches is a must-have. The sets come with several different sizes so you can tighten and loosen all kinds of bolts. These wrenches have a box-end and an open end, both of which can be used for different projects. Knowing how to use both ends of a combination wrench can save you a lot of aggravation when you take on your next DIY project.
Everyone needs a level on hand. These simple tools come in all sizes but all do the same thing: help you tell if something is perfectly straight. A level is filled with liquid and has a single bubble inside a tube that is marked with two straight lines. When that picture is perfectly straight, the bubble will rest exactly inside the two lines. Small levels are perfect for hanging artwork on walls while larger levels are best for hanging things like shelves or for construction projects.
Needle-nose pliers are an essential part of your tool set. These pliers are small and usually inexpensive, but they can pack a lot of power. They are perfect for working with wires, gripping nails and screws, removing staples and just about anything else that requires a firm grip in a tight spot.
A utility knife may be one of the most-used tools in a toolbox. The knife lets you cut through anything from cardboard to plastic and many other materials. It’s important to know how to use a utility knife safely, since they are very sharp and if you don’t know how to use them correctly, they can be very dangerous. Learn how to hold a knife the right way and use it safely so you can keep it under control while slicing through materials for your next project.
Electronic Stud Finder
An electronic stud finder makes knocking on walls and listening for the sound of studs a thing of the past. You can run this handy tool against your wall and it will alert you when you have come to a stud. Knowing how to find studs is important when you want to hang pictures or mount heavy objects like shelves or televisions on the wall.
Staple guns can hold pieces of wood together, attach upholstery to furniture and even hold wires down if used correctly. A staple gun is another tool that is inexpensive but can make a big difference when you’re working on a project. This tool can also be dangerous though, so read the instructions carefully and always wear safety glasses when you use it.
If you ever find yourself needing to cut wire or a heavy cord, side-cutting pliers are what you need. These tools let you snip through heavy materials easily, so you don’t have to try to saw through them with a knife or a pair of regular scissors. Especially powerful pliers can even cut through bolts and nails.
Some side-cutting pliers have a die at the end, so you can crimp together wires easily. This two-in-one tool is one you definitely need to learn how to use.
Instead of browsing the hardware store blindly looking for a tool that could be useful for the task at hand, learn how to use these 10 tools and keep them in a complete set at home. When you know how to use them, simple fixes and bigger household projects suddenly become much easier.

Your liver is the largest internal organ in your body and plays an extremely vital role in your health and wellbeing.
If your liver is not functioning properly then you will find that the rest of your body will be having some form of complications as well.
As the liver affects so much of our health, the symptoms of liver ill-health can be very different.
But, if you are experiencing constant headaches, sluggishness or generally feeling ill and out of sorts for no good reason, you will do well to consider your liver health.
There is not really any downside to this; basically anything that can be done to improve the health of your liver will in turn improve your overall wellbeing.
Your Liver Works Hard For You Every Day
There are not many days that go by when we are not exposed to many different kinds of chemicals.
These chemicals may not all be visible to the naked eye but most of them have a variety of adverse effects on our bodies.
Sources of some of these invisible harmful chemicals we are exposed to daily can include shampoos, soaps, detergents, petrol and preservatives from foods.
Our liver sometimes has to work overtime, in fact up to twenty four hours a day just cleansing and detoxifying our body from all these disease inducing toxins and chemicals.
Now we know that it is important that our liver cleanses our body, why not help our liver with the detoxifying process using natural methods?
Because it is certainly possible to undertake a ‘liver cleanse’.
There are many different recipes that you could use, homemade and over the counter ones are readily available.
Most of these can work really well, in fact so well that the immediate after effects can be a bit distressing to the body as a large amount of toxins are cleared out in one go.
But instead of going for that high impact clear out approach, why not think about going for a bit of a lifestyle change that will slowly but surely improve your liver function, now and for many years to come.
Not only will you be improving your overall health, but you will be taking a huge leap forward in the battle against anti aging.
A healthier liver means less damaging toxins, which leads to increased vitality and longevity.
The best ways to achieve this is to just include more healthy ‘liver-cleansing’ foods in your daily diet!
Here’s a few to start you off that you can gently introduce into your daily meal plans:
Beets and beet juice have strong antioxidant properties.
They also provide many micro-nutrients including pectin and betaine that provide detoxing support to the liver.
Betaine also has protective effects that support the liver and bile ducts for improved function.
Studies have provided evidence of the healing benefits of beets as it reduces homocysteine levels and lowers the risk of liver cancer.
Broccoli is known to enhance the natural detoxification pathways of the liver with the help of its phytochemicals.
This vegetable is an excellent source of sulforaphane, which is a substance that enhances the liver’s detoxifying effect.
In simple terms, eating broccoli provides you with phytonutrients that are helpful for converting dangerous toxins that are present in the liver, into less toxic compounds that can be ushered safely out of your body.
Garlic is one food that should always be on the shopping list!
There are a multitude of studies that prove it is nature’s little miracle cleanser of a range of toxins and parasites.
Garlic has been shown to help reduce high triglyceride levels, LDL (low density lipoprotein) levels and total cholesterol serum levels.
This is good news to those who have been advised to go on a low-cholesterol diet.
Garlic plays a role in reducing the amount of fats that accumulate inside their liver and lowering the risk of fatty liver disease.
Garlic is also famous for its allicin content which can induce cell death in cancers.
Researchers have shown that garlic can be used as a therapeutic agent for treating advanced diseases such as liver cancer.
Lemons are not only good sources of vitamin C that help boost the immune system, but are an excellent blood purifier, which means it aids the liver in getting rid of toxins in the body.
Lemons act as a tonic to the liver while stimulating its cleansing effects.
Many believe that mixing warm water with lemon juice is helpful, as lemons are found to produce more enzymes when mixed with water than with any other foods.
Lemons are also beneficial in stabilizing blood glucose levels.
Why Not Start Today
I hope you now realize why you should be eating these liver cleansing power foods.
It is never too early to start, and there are tons of ways that you can include these into your daily diet.

Good grief. How embarrassing is this for these girls? Although the one who got voted off of American Idol didn’t look like she was minding the spotlight all that much tonight. That said, I would guess Brown was right that he would be in trouble when he got home.
And now onto more serious matters like how much is this flame thrower going to make the Senate an even more screwed up institution that it is already? If nothing else I'm sure he'll be providing us with sound bytes similar to the likes of McCain, Graham, DeMint, McConnell and LIE-berman. Or worse yet his House counterparts like Hoekstra, Boehner, Issa, Bachmann and others. You name them. I'm sure the readers here can come up with better lists than mine. So much for that Senate civility they're always praising. I think it might have just gotten thrown out the window with this guy in there. They pretend Al Franken is bad. I have little doubt we ain't seen nothin' yet when his junior member of the Senate joins the Republicans.
I just hope the people of Massachusetts are happy with themselves for heaping this guy upon us. Don't be surprised if we're hearing buzz about him running for President in 2012. Matthews was already getting a thrill up his leg from Brown's manliness tonight and saying he's Presidential material. Look out Palin, you might have some competition coming.

Plains Cotton Growers Disappointed in
House Farm Bill Failure
Friday, June 21, 2013 By Mary Jane Buerkle
Cotton growers across the High Plains expressed disappointment in the House of Representatives' rejection on Thursday of H.R. 1947, the Federal Agriculture Reform, Food and Jobs Act of 2013 (FARRM).
"This legislative package adequately met the needs of cotton producers across the Cotton Belt, and was the best we could have expected in this budgetary climate," Plains Cotton Growers President Craig Heinrich, a cotton grower from Slaton, Texas, said. "This bill saved money, reformed and streamlined programs, and gave farmers assurance that they could continue to grow food and fiber to feed and clothe this nation and the world, and it is a shame that it could not make it to conference where some key differences could have been resolved."
PCG Executive Vice President Steve Verett expressed appreciation to the House Agriculture Committee on both sides of the aisle for their efforts.
"The strong leadership of Chairman Frank Lucas, Ranking Member Collin Peterson, Subcommittee Chairman Mike Conaway and the entire House Ag Committee have done everything they could to cut the deficit, reduce the size and scope of government, and achieve necessary reform through the creation of this farm bill," Verett said. "They are to be commended, and we will continue to stand behind them as we all work to pass a five-year bill that works for agriculture to support America's economy."
The final vote tally on the bill was 195 ayes and 234 noes. 171 Republicans voted for the bill, including PCG service area Representatives Neugebauer, Conaway and Thornberry, and 62 voted against it, including Texas Representatives Brady, Culberson, Gohmert, Hensarling, and Stockman. Twenty-four Democrats voted for the bill and 172 voted against it, including Texas Representatives Castro, Doggett, Gallego, Al Green, Gene Green, Hinojosa, Jackson Lee, E.B. Johnson, O'Rourke, and Veasey.
The failure certainly wasn't due to lack of effort from the agricultural sector. Throughout the week, Verett was part of a group assembled by the Southwest Council of Agribusiness that called on more than 150 Congressional offices throughout the week, some more than once.
However, several factors, including but not limited to a White House veto threat and amendments offered toward the end of the floor debate, contributed to shifting votes to force the bill into failure.
Although it is not yet certain as to what exactly happens next, House leadership is considering all options and a plan could be revealed as early as next week.
Rainfall Accompanied by Severe Weather
Has Mixed Effects on High Plains Cotton
Friday, June 21, 2013 By Mary Jane Buerkle
It's been a couple of years since High Plains cotton growers have experienced anything close to what could be called a typical start to a growing season, but so far the month of June has brought both beneficial rainfall and damaging hail and wind events.
What acreage has not been completely destroyed and failed out is left in limbo at this point, with the most recent hail storms occurring over the past week. The most significant damage reported to PCG from those storms has been in southeastern Lubbock County and northwestern Lynn County, and Hockley County.
Acreage estimates will remain unknown for the next couple of weeks as insurance adjusters review damage and producers wait to see what cotton could survive, and weigh their options when it comes to replanting. PCG published an options guide in last week's edition of Cotton News, which can be accessed at http://www.plainscotton.org/esw/news/cotnewsback/2013/CN130614.htm.
However, producers have benefited from rainfall that will boost dryland crops in many areas and relieve pressure on irrigation systems.
"It's always disheartening to hear of crop loss, but the precipitation certainly will help many producers and get this 2013 crop off to a good start, in addition to boosting morale and reminding all of us that it indeed can rain," PCG Executive Vice President Steve Verett said. "So far, June is shaping up to be more typical than in recent years, and we just pray that we continue to get good, timely rains over the remainder of the growing season so we have an opportunity to produce more cotton than in 2011 and 2012."
On the marketing side, cotton was trading slightly lower at press time but December futures remained at around the 85-cent mark.

FM Skyline On Vaporwave, Escapism, and Doing The Most With One Keyboard
Posted: by The Editor
One of my all-time favorite musical experiences is going to see a show for one artist, then being unexpectedly blown away by a different artist on the bill. Cash back! This scenario happened recently at the intimate Brooklyn venue Baby’s All Right, where I went to catch a set by Donzii, a band I’d previously seen open for New Order in their native Miami. Donzii was part of a bill put on by vaporwave label 100% Electronica, and before they hit the stage, I was treated to an unforgettable set by 100% Electronica artist FM Skyline.
FM Skyline, aka Richmond, VA-based musician Pete Curry, played a dreamy and mesmerizing suite of tunes on his electric keyboard. Halfway through the set, I leaned over to my concert companion and whispered that I felt like I was in a beautiful shopping mall in Japan in the early 1990s. It was gorgeous music that took me to a mental space uncluttered by the world’s current problems—a real sonic miracle these days, if we are being honest. I simply needed to know more about the method behind FM Skyline’s music, so I talked to Pete for a new episode of The Alternative’s music talk show Get Involved.
We chatted about the punk rock ethos of making big music on a small amount of equipment, the anti-anxiety effect of watching Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and the crucial distinction between vaporwave and other kinds of synth music. It was a great interview, and if you’re reading these words, you should definitely click the video play button and check it out.

After being barely caught offside in the first two minutes, Everton striker Romelu Lukaku would not be denied a goal for long.
In the fifth minute, he placed a shot from inside the area neatly into the goal, after winger Kevin Mirallas jolted through the Newcastle defense on the right-hand side. His pace created the goal, and Lukaku’s calm finish sealed the early lead.
Lukaku went up for a long ball from goalkeeper Tim Howard, causing a loose ball that Mirallas corralled and maneuvered easily past Newcastle left back Davide Santon. From there, Lukaku ran between the center backs and found a soft space to exploit for the easy tap-in.

NetEnt has unveiled its latest slot game, Finn and the Swirly Spin™ a mobile-first title featuring spiral reels and built-in gamification.
The first-of-its kind spin function, which takes inspiration from mobile social gaming, follows lovable leprechaun Finn and his magical key symbol. The key makes its way from the outside corner on the swirly spin, with wins clearing the path as it moves to the middle in a bid to unlock free spins for Finn as he travels on his fun adventures.
Once the key has reached the middle, the Irish-themed Finn and the Swirly Spin™ transports players on a journey through the Emerald Isle to one of the free spin-filled new worlds; Lucky Mug, Lava Lair, Starbar and Golden Pot.
Thanks to its in-game gamification features, players can visit all four lucky levels by collecting a key for each, earning one every time they the reach the middle of the swirly spin, with a light-up key meter helping them track their progress.
Announcing the new release, Henrik Fagerlund, chief product officer at NetEnt, said: “This is a really special production from NetEnt. The game is a visual masterclass from our designers and its new features, which include the brilliant unique spiral spin function, add a fun and never-before-seen element that will leave players thrilled to have met Finn.
“NetEnt has certainly cranked up the excitement factor and Finn and the Swirly Spin™ has received the most positive feedback we have ever seen from game testing and we can’t wait for players to play themselves – we are sure they will love the game as much as we do as they travel the Emerald Isle.”

Cowboys/Bucs & Vikings/49ers Highlights NFL ON FOX Week 3 Action
Aikman: TV Eyes Are Always On Quarterback
Pereira: Both Sides Need To Compromise in NFL Referee Lockout
NFL ON FOX WEEK 3: NINERS LOOK TO GO 3-0 – The NFL on FOX presents singleheader coverage of six games on Sunday, Sept. 23. The 1:00 PM ET window opens as Tony Romo and the Cowboys look to get back to their winning ways when they return home to host Josh Freeman and the Bucs. Joe Buck, Troy Aikman and Pam Oliver call the action from Cowboys Stadium. In Minneapolis, Adrian Peterson and the Vikings face their toughest test of the season when they host Patrick Willis and the powerful 49ers. Coming off a disappointing outing last week in Green Bay, Jay Cutler and the Bears take on Sam Bradford and the Rams. Also, Matthew Stafford and the Lions travel to Nashville to face the Titans.

AIKMAN: TV EYES ARE ALWAYS ON THE QUARTERBACK – Quarterbacks getting caught yelling at their teammates on camera was a hot topic this week. NFL on FOX lead analyst Troy Aikman talked about the scrutiny quarterbacks face today on Chicago’s WSCR “The Mully and Hanley Show.” “(Television) gets a lot of shots of these guys and nothing goes unnoticed,” said Aikman. “There’s always a camera on the quarterback even when he’s not on the field and so there’s not anything that can really happen that TV cameras don’t catch. I understand tempers flare during the course of a game but from the vantage point of watching it in my living room, it [Cutler yelling at Webb] didn’t look very good.”
PEREIRA ON NFLRA LOCKOUT: BOTH SIDES NEED TO COMPROMISE FOR THE GAME – FOX Sports NFL rules analyst Mike Pereira took time with Fox Sports Radio’s Dan Patrick show on Tuesday morning to discuss what he saw from the NFL replacement officials in Week 2. “Utter chaos,” said Pereira. “I saw a lack of control with the replacement officials. You have players and coaches that have lost respect for these officials and they know they’re getting away with more. You saw more rough and tumble stuff going on after a play is over. As this thing goes on, the coaches trust the officials less. When I watched Monday night’s game, I was sad because it’s not the NFL I know.” If Pereira was still head of NFL officiating, he doesn’t know that there would be much more he’d be able to do within his power than what current head of officiating Carl Johnson is already doing. “I’d tell Commissioner Goodell that the mistakes we’re seeing are only the tip of the iceberg. There are many more mistakes that are coming up in critical points in the game and are not all timing or rule issues.” Pereira believes both sides, the NFLRA and NFL need to compromise. “We need to somehow light a fire under both sides to get back to the table, lock the door and don’t leave until you have a deal.”

According to one of our favorite holistic veterinarians, Dr. Karen Becker, you pet owners should stick to the basics when aiming to improve your pets' health this coming year. In this recent article posted on the Mercola Healthy Pets blog, Dr. Becker explains her top five ways to boost your pets' overall health. It starts with feeding a species appropriate diet, primarily of fresh foods, and includes regular wellness checks with your veterinarian, home health checks, eliminating unnecessary vaccinations, keeping your pet at a healthy weight and enriching your dogs' home environment. See me playing with "enrichment toy" below.
Encouraging your dogs to play with enrichment toys will help stimulate their brains and even physically tire them out.
Each of these five strategies make sense to us, although we realize the implementation part is not always easy. We think Dr. Becker does a good job, though, of explaining why she recommends these strategies and how to best implement them.
We also think just plain ole' regular play with a ball is good for us, too!
What say you? Do you have any tips for boosting your dogs' health in this brand new year? We'd love to hear them!

Riassunto: A thousand-pound catfish? There's no such thing! Well, of course there is: His name's Ernie, and he's an ornery, stubborn, hot-tempered thousand-pound catfish at that. What's a town called Pleasant to do when this worthless whiskered rascal and his wormy sidekick are making it downright unpleasant? Call Steamboat Annie, that's what! Told in a rollicking voice that is a perfect compliment to Howard Fine's vibrant illustrations, here is a book in the tradition of Swamp Angel: tall-tale telling at its tallest, and picture book making at its most fun.
From Publishers Weekly: According to newcomer Wright's 1,000-pound catfish character Ernie, Mayor Annie is an "uppity frog-kissin' steamboat captain" who should stay at home and "bake some cookies." But vivacious Annie has other ideas in this lively tall tale that features a heroine who can out-sing, out-talk and out-fish slimy, handsome villain Jefferson Jackson (who wants to be mayor) and his fishy friend. Catfish Ernie can't stand the constant singing of the citizens of Pleasant even the town's lone cow sings solos at the church so he decides to gobble not only the boats that journey down the Ohio River, but the town's church as well. With a colloquial style featuring plenty of outlandish exaggerations, Wright describes how Annie hooks Ernie and hangs on for a year and a half, all the while playing the calliope with her toes "so that folks would have dancing music." Fine's (Piggie Christmas) energetic, acrylic paintings feature skewed perspectives, striking landscapes, eccentric portraits bursting from portholes, 19th-century characters whose red-cheeked faces and white teeth look carved from wood, and even a spectacular close-up of Steamboat Annie's bare foot. Although the exuberant plot at times grows unwieldy, and the feisty-feminist slant to the story seems a little heavy-handed, Wright's "fearsome fishing battle" brims with sly humor and enthusiasm. Ages 4-up.

Beans: A History by Ken Albala (Berg 2007) may be the most interesting single-subject volume of food history I’ve seen; it reads as easily as a novel. Beans are Albala’s plucky hero, ever striving to overcome the cultural elite’s prejudice against what it deemed low-class trash food.
From continent to continent, Albala tracks beans’ essential role in bringing civilization and saving the masses from starvation. Despite their importance to humanity, beans get little respect. They’re too often considered as exclusively poverty food, with personal success being achieved when beans are no longer part of one’s diet.
Albala’s cultural and political history of beans is particularly interesting to read during this time of economic downturn, when too many are relying on cheap fast food for sustenance. The stigma attached to bean eating that Albala describes may partially explain why this healthy eating option is not more readily embraced by modern Americans.
Albala says the only place where beans are universally held in high regard is on the Indian subcontinent. The entire region has a vibrant bean cuisine that is accepted without regard to class lines.
That vibrancy nearly overwhelmed me as I assumed responsibility for hosting My Legume Love Affair Ninth Helping (MLLA9) this month.
The initial wave of MLLA9 recipes came mostly from Indian cooks, a cuisine with which I am largely unfamiliar. I struggled to understand the recipes, with their incomprehensible-to-me names and ingredients. Wikipedia became my new best friend.
I quickly discovered that when Indian cooks use the word “lentil,” they may be referring to what I call lentils, or they may mean chickpeas, pigeon peas, or various members of the Vigna family. Some Indian cooks use the word “gram” or “dal” instead of lentil for any of these legumes. Scientific names were my only hope for understanding the very interesting Indian recipes.
By sheer coincidence, I was reading Albala’s book. It helped clear up some of my confusion. Albala gave me a clear structure for understanding the relationships between all the new legumes to which I was being introduced.
In putting together this month’s round-up, on the assumption that some of my readers may be as confused as I was by Indian terminology, I adopted Albala’s organizational structure. To locate the beans in historical time and place, I’ve included brief quotations from Albala’s book.
For anyone interested in learning more about legumes, I highly recommend Beans: A History; it’s well worth reading.
With over 80 entries, this month’s round-up is a long read. Grab a cup of tea and settle in to learn about an enjoyable and highly diverse group of legumes and recipes!
My Legume Love Affair Ninth Helping
Lentils: Fertile Crescent
The histories of humans and lentils are inextricably intertwined. In Beans: A History, Albala reports at page 9-11:
“The lentil was among the very first plants ever domesticated … Somewhere in the Fertile Crescent, what is today eastern Turkey, northern Iraq and Syria, some unsuspecting nomad decided to gather tiny wild lentils and plant them … The earliest charred remains of wild lentils, an indication of cooking, date from about 11000 BCE and are found at the Franchthi Cave in Greece. Somewhere around 7000 BCE or earlier the lentil began to be domesticated, the modern species of Lens culinaris most likely deriving from a wild progenitor Lens orientalis.”
Lupines: Europe and Andes
Lupines have a dicey history as food. They need to be carefully prepared to remove bitter alkaloids that render lupines both poisonous and unpalatable. However, Albala suggest lupines may be worth the effort to prepare. They are remarkable high in protein, which is provided at a much higher efficiency rate than beef.
“Unlike other beans, there are native species of lupines on both sides of the Atlantic. Lupinus albus and luteusaugustifolius … come from southern Europe and Lupinus mutabilis comes from the Andes and is uniquely adapted to growing at high altitudes.” Albala at 26.
Although Andean lupines are still used in heart of Inca country,
“[l]upines were completely effaced from the culinary record in the West. That is not to say ordinary people avoided them. They continued to be eaten commonly as a snack, especially at popular fairs in Italy … Lupines or lupini beans can be found in jars on the shelves of Italian grocery stores in the US and in Provencal olive mixes.” Albala at 30.
I’d planned on writing about lupini beans and bought them both dried and bottled. We tried the already-prepared bottled version first. They were inedibly salty and extremely bitter. No one who ate one was willing to try a second. I soaked them overnight and removed the excessive salt, but the nasty bitterness remained. By unanimous demand, the bottled beans were discarded.
After that, I lost my enthusiasm for the multi-day soaking process necessary to render dried lupini beans edible. Since I have the dried beans, and Mark Bittman claims they’re good, I’ll try them someday; just not this month.
Fava Beans: Europe
Though not much used in the United States, fava beans are wildly popular in Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean basin. Albala tells us at 33-34 that fava beans were “among the early Fertile Crescent domesticates,” but
“the origin of Vicia faba is unknown and its wild ancestor is probably extinct. … The oldest archaeological remains of favas were found in a site near Nazareth dated between 6500 and 6000 BCE … Oddly, the archaeological record is otherwise silent and the next findings date from several thousand years later. Exactly when and where favas were domesticated remains a complete mystery, and they quite suddenly appear in Bronze Age sites in the third millennium BCE in places as far flung as Spain and Portugal, northern Italy and Switzerland, Greece and the Middle East. … most likely they spread from the Fertile Crescent in every direction, becoming the premier bean of the ancient world. When the word bean is used in European texts prior to 1492, it is almost always the fava.”

(Fava Beans – Vicia faba, Lentils – Lens culinaris, Chickpeas – Cicer arietinum, Black-eyed Peas – Vigna unguiculata subsp. unguiculata, White Beans – Phaseolus vulgaris)
Peas, Chickpeas and Pigeon Peas
Peas’ sweet flavor has made it more popular than most legumes. Peas also “have the broadest range geographically and climactically than any other legume … from the subtropics to cold and arid climates.” Albala at 75-76. According to Albala, peas were
“one of the earliest domesticated plants … archaeological remains of which date back as far as 8000 BCE. Its wild progenitor was probably the tall humile type distributed throughout the Levant, eastern Turkey, Syria and northern Iraq. … [A]ll the cultivated varieties used today are Pisum sativum. This domesticated pea spread rapidly, reaching Western Europe by 4000 BCE and thereafter south to Egypt, north into the Caucasus and Eastern Europe and east eventually reaching India by about 2000 BCE.”
3. Ragee of Simply Innocence, Copell, Texas, United States
Sweet Green Peas and Fresh Fenugreek Leaves in Spicy Cream Sauce (Methi Matar Malai)(Green Peas – Pisum sativum)
Albala points out at 81-2 that like peas, chickpeas have
“largely escaped the ignominy of beans. Though … they are hardly a pea at all. They are properly a bean. … The origin of chickpeas is once again in the Fertile Crescent … in Turkey and Syria the oldest carbonized chickpeas have been found, about 10,000 years old, but these are small and may have been gathered wild. Larger seeded, domesticated samples are found in Bronze Age sites in Israel and Jordan. They made their way to Greece by 6000 BCE and France a few thousand years later, and, like the other beans, eventually to Africa and India. … There are two distinct types of chickpea – the large smooth-skinned variety common in the Mediterranean called Kabuli and smaller darker chickpeas more common in India and thereabouts called Desi.”

6. Maya of Stories from Emona, Ljubljana, Slovenia

(Chickpeas – Cicer arietinum)
“They probably originated in India, where they are split, thereafter called toor dal, and cooked down with spices until they disintegrate. … To this day the majority are grown in India. From there they spread basically to every dry tropical region where peas do not grow well. Thus in East Africa they found a welcome home, though some speculate that they originated [t]here.”

Oddballs and Villains
“Every family has its black sheep oddballs and criminal types. Beans are no different. They seem odd only by comparison to the respectable members of the Fabaceae family, and many have found very happy homes throughout the world. Some of these are real degenerates though, surviving on the very margins of the human food supply, mostly as famine foods. … Although in no way related to each other, these beans [are included in a single chapter] because few readers are likely to be acquainted with them. This rogues’ gallery will include Lathyrus and Lablab, the Vetch clan, as well as the more obscure Canavalia, Mucuna and Macrotyloma, and the beautifully seductive Psophocarpus tetragonolobus…” Albala at 90.
Mung and the Vignas: India
In India, beans escaped the low-class reputation in which they were held elsewhere in the world. Albala at 107-08 attributes this to a variety of political and religious reasons which
“catalyzed the valorization of beans in a way that was diametrically opposed to Western Civilization’s denigration. Beans thus became an essential staple crop in India, the primary source of protein for the majority of people… Although the majority of modern Indians are not vegetarian, dense population and the high price of meat has meant the majority still receive most of their calories from vegetables, primarily grains and beans. As we have seen, Fertile Crescent legumes such as lentils and chickpeas were introduced at a very early date. But the subcontinent also had its own species, the most important of which are the Asiatic Vigna species or as they are known in India ‘grams’: mung beans (V. radiata or green gram), urd beans (V. mungo or black gram) as well as moth beans (V. aconitifolia), and rice beans (V. umbellata). … The Taxonomic distinction of the Vigna beans is also a relatively recent phenomenon. Many were classed as Phaseolus until that name was reserved exclusively for New World species…These Asian Vigna species were also given a sub-genus classification called Ceratotropis.”

Albala concludes his Vigna chapter with the Adzuki bean at 113:
“Although clearly thematically separate from the discussion in this chapter, there remains one more relative in the Ceratotropis sub-genus. He is much bigger than his brothers, and more boisterous, with his bright red coat. He is also a little sweeter and something about the adzuki bean (V. angularis) makes you feel like celebrating.”
Black-eyed Peas: Africa, Soul Food
“Vigna unguiculata, at least according to botanists, is a cousin to the Asian Vigna species. … The black-eyed pea is, in any case, a resolutely and characteristically African bean. Archeological evidence from the Chad basin suggests that the pastoral people who migrated into this area around 1800 BCE began to switch to an agricultural regime by about 1200 BCE … with the staples of pearl millet and black-eyed peas. This bean has thus always played a central role in African agriculture and was brought with slaves to the Americas where it remains an indelible marker of African-American identity. … In the Old World, black-eyed peas spread northward and eastward in ancient times and the earliest recorded evidence of their use is not in Africa but among the Greeks and in India. … Africa, however, is the real home of black-eyed peas and West Africa still produces roughly 90 percent of the world supply.” Albala 117-19.
Phaseolus vulgaris: Mexico and the World
The common bean, Phaseolus vulgaris, wasn’t known outside the Americas until after 1492. It is now grown throughout the world, and comes in a myriad of wildly different shapes and sizes. Albala describes its origins at 127-28:
“The wild ancestor of Phaseolus spread from Northern Mexico to Argentina and it was domesticated independently both in the Peruvian Andes…as well as in Mexico… Exactly when these events took place is more difficult to determine, partly because archeological remains are sparse in the humid environment of Mesoamerica… Remains of P. vulgaris from a cave in the Peruvian Andes have been radiocarbon dated at about 6000 BCE and they may have been domesticated well before that … it is safest to say that these beans were domesticated several thousand years ago, without indicating a precise chronology.”
Albala goes on to describe in fascinating detail the dramatic changes for both P. vulgaris and humans that occurred after Columbus encountered the New World. As P. vulgaris was incorporated into cultures across the world, the numerous bean varieties with which we are now familiar evolved and came into common use.

Limas and the Lesser Phaseoli: Andes
After P. vulgaris (see above), the most important of the 55 separate Phaseolus species is the lima bean, Phaseolus lunatus. Albala says at 191-93 that the lima
“is native to the Andes. Those found at the Guitarrero Cave in the highlands of Peru were domesticated even before both the common bean and corn. … They are roughly contemporary with many Old World sites of bean domestication. … Like P. vulgaris, the lima bean was taken to Europe sometime in the 16th century, and also to the Philippines with the Manila galleons. It is widely grown throughout SE Asia, particularly in Burma. It was also taken to Africa from Brazil, and is now the primary dried bean eaten in the tropics there and in Madagascar. … It never really caught on as a major food in Europe, probably because the climate is not ideal for its growth.”

Tepary Beans: Native Americans
I tried tepary beans for the first time this month because I wanted to have at least one recipe for each of Albala’s 11 bean chapters. Having done so, it’s hard to understand why it isn’t more widely available; it’s one of the best beans I’ve ever tasted. Albala explains at 203-04 that the origins of the tepary bean, Phaseolus acutifolius,
“are debated since wild forms are found stretching from the Southwest through Central America. Archaeological remains in Puebla, Mexico, date back 5,000 years, but it is not known where it was first domesticated. A strong claim is made for domestication, perhaps independently, in the [American] Southwest where wild varieties can still be found. … As recently as the 1930s, the Tohono O’odham [formerly called Papago Indians] grew 1.5 million pounds of teparies a year. Half a century later the bean had almost completely disappeared.”
Soy: China, Japan and the World
Soy is “the most widely grown bean on the plant,” according to Albala at 209, though most of it is processed “into milk and curd and made into a variety of condiments bearing little resemblance to the humble bean.” Albala attributes this to soybean’s slight bitterness and its “unpleasant beany odor” (noting that green Japanese edamames are “a very specific cultivar bred for its mild flavor and consumed immature”).
“Glycine max is the Latin name for the soybean, which was descended from another wild bean, Glycine soja. … [It] was first cultivated in the eastern half of Northern China, based on recent DNA evidence, … about 3,000 years ago, though some make a claim for Mongolia. That makes it a relative latecomer among the ancient beans, but with an extremely long pedigree nonetheless. … Although archaeological evidence may eventually push back the origin of soy domestication, 1100 BCE is for the moment the earliest certain date.” Albala 209-10.

GM to Update Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra for 2015
The 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra only recently arrived on the scene, but a lukewarm reception in the face of stiffening competition has caused GM to fast-track updates for the 2015 model year.
GM's executive chief engineer for the pickups Jeff Luke told The Detroit News that improvements to boost fuel economy, possibly including a transmission with more than the current six gears, will appear on 2015 models. Also in store are appearance enhancements and new tech.
"You'll see these kinds of technologies over the next few years, a whole array of neat, new technologies, some focused on fuel economy, some focused on capability," Luke said to The Detroit News.
The engineering chief didn't give details on the changes, but more info is expected to be released in the coming months ahead of the 2015 trucks' on-sale date later this year. As we previously reported, GM plans to launch a line of all-new trucks by 2018, when it hopes to have a lighter truck to compete with the aluminum-intensive 2015 Ford F-150. A skeptical Mark Reuss, GM's executive vice president of global product development, said previously that he plans to get a hold of a new F-150 to take a closer look at how it's built and see how Ford's weight savings claims measure up. Suppliers have hinted that GM wants a reduced-weight variant to tide buyers over until 2018, one that would use aluminum and composite materials to bring weight down by at least 250 pounds and increase fuel economy by 20 percent. Another fuel-saving technology GM is considering for the future is start-stop capability.
GM has relied on feedback from customers who bought the 2014 pickups, as well as from those who chose not to buy one, for its update strategy, which we should know more about in a few months. Can the updates keep the Silverado and Sierra competitive?

2019: Baheejah warns against money for votes
By Blessing James
A female gubernatorial aspirant on the platform of the Advanced Congress of Democrats (ACD), Hajiya Baheejah Mahmood Abdullahi has charged women to shun vote buying come 2019 elections.
Baheejah gave the charge in Bauchi over the weekend when she hosted hundreds of women groups in Bauchi State, adding that the use of money, wrappers and other souvenirs to get votes from the electorates in the forth coming 2019 elections will expose the state to further looting.
“You have to reject money Politics, it’s against the democratic tenants, if they insist collect the money and vote for a candidate of your choice, as eligible voters you have to teach them a lesson that Money cannot buy your conscience and your right to go for credible , reliable and competent candidate”, she said.
Baheejah also said that “if they win they will starve you, because money Politics has been responsible for underdevelopment in all nooks and crannies of our dear state. You should understand that any public office holder that bribed his way to the office will not work for the well being of the people.
The aspirant also mentioned that the moment money Politics and power drunk are removed from our Political System the issue of corruption will become things of the past.
She said “our Political opponents are against the rising status of a women candidate, but remember politics is a game of number and as women, you should not take money against a trustworthy, credible female candidate because she will be fair to both women, men, youth and children
Baheejah recalled that last week a meeting of all female contestants was held and we have the assurances of President Muhammadu Buhari, his Wife Aishatu Buhari that they will support Women contestants and that they will give us a level playing ground.
The State Chairman of ACD ElFaruk Gado advised women to join ACD and take campaign of the party to the doors of every house in Bauchi State.
ElFaruk said it is time for women to rise against their marginalization in Politics and a female aspirant to become Governor in 2019 for the development of the State.
“ACD is a party with a motto ‘bye- bye to poverty’ electing ACD candidate will bring wealth and economic development of all households”, he said.
Chairman urged women to always remember the likes of Prophetess Queen Balkisu and other women leaders in history stating that it’s time for Bauchi State to make history by producing a first female Governor in the Country under the platform of ACD.
All the Speakers at the conference urged electorates in Bauchi State to give Baheejah a chance to prove her worth as she is experience, reliable competence and trustworthy.
