New testimony claims Lois Lerner and Obama appointee were behind Tea Party targeting

Obama Responds to Zimmerman Verdict: ‘Stem the Tide of Gun Violence’–For Trayvon
President Barack Obama issued a long-awaited response Sunday afternoon to the acquittal of George Zimmerman Saturday evening, reminding Americans to temper “passions,” and that “we are a nation of laws and the jury has spoken.”
He added that Americans should “honor” the life of Trayvon Martin by committing to “stem the tide of gun violence,” and “ask ourselves if we are doing all we can to widen the circle of compassion in our communities.”
Justice Department places ‘hold’ on Trayvon Martin trial evidence, including George Zimmerman’s gun – which Florida law says must be returned to him

Sens. John Morse, Angela Giron recall elections set for Sept. 10
A Denver judge Thursday ruled petitions submitted to oust a pair of Democratic senators from office are valid, a pivotal ruling that sets in motion Colorado’s first-ever recall election of state lawmakers.
Under Florida’s ‘Stand Your Ground’ Law, Black and White Defendants Fare Equally Well
In my column last week, I noted two complementary narratives that cloud people’s understanding of the George Zimmerman case: one about race, the other about the alleged defects of Florida’s self-defense law. Last year the Tampa Bay Times tried to get a sense of how these two factors interact by looking at racial patterns in self-defense cases. Its findings belie the idea that the enforcement of Florida’s law is biased against black defendants
Remarkable correlation of Arctic sea ice to solar cycle length
This is interesting, especially since Solar Cycle 23 was quite long.
Government in Healthcare
Fraud fear raised in California’s health exchange
As California prepares to launch its health care exchange, consumer groups are worried the uninsured could fall victim to fraud, identity theft or other crimes at the hands of some of the very people who are supposed to help them enroll.
Obamacare+Tornado. The perfect storm is coming
Matt O’Brien, Associate Editor of the Atlantic, Calls Obamacare Implementation “Leninism”
Matt O’Brien is the Associate Editor of the Atlantic.
This morning, I made clear I think Obamcare should be implemented exactly as it was designed and written by the Democrats on the timeline it was intended to be implemented. In other words — let’s proceed as the Democrats demanded when they passed Obamacare.
Fissures in Dems’ Support for Obamacare
President Obama touted Obamacare’s supposed benefits Thursday in the hope of distracting attention from Wednesday’s bipartisan House vote that for the first time revealed fissures in congressional Democrats’ lockstep support for his health care law. An unprecedented 35 Democrats bucked the president by voting to delay Obamacare’s “employer mandate,” while 22 Democrats voted to delay its “individual mandate” for one year. Obamacare opponents now have an opportunity to widen the fissures among its supporters.
Move over NSA, here comes the Obamacare Big Brother database
Would you trust thousands of low-level Federal bureaucrats and contractors with one-touch access to your private financial and medical information? Under Obamacare you won’t have any choice.

Experts: Obama’s plan to predict future leakers unproven, unlikely to work
In an initiative aimed at rooting out future leakers and other security violators, President Barack Obama has ordered federal employees to report suspicious actions of their colleagues based on behavioral profiling techniques that are not scientifically proven to work, according to experts and government documents.
FBI records: agents found no evidence that Zimmerman was racist
After interviewing nearly three dozen people in the George Zimmerman murder case, the FBI found no evidence that racial bias was a motivating factor in the shooting of Trayvon Martin, records released Thursday show.
The “what if Trayvon were white” logical fallacy
One of the most popular liberal reactions to the finding that George Zimmerman was not guilty is to posit the question of how the case would have been treated differently if Trayvon Martin were white.
“Lesbians in Space” (& other government approved text books)
As Janet Nopalitano steps aside to take a new job that will pay her 3 times what she’s been earning as our nation’s protector— proving that incompetency pays…she leaves behind a legacy of utter failure. She was a politically correct choice who was laughably unqualified, and as a reult of her incompetence, 32 Americans were killed by muslim terrorists on American Spoil— compare that to ZERO dead Americans under her predecessors —but watch the mainstream media nauseatingly glorify her.
Fault Lines in Democratic Party
Sometimes things fall apart right in plain sight but no one sees it unraveling until too late. That’s especially true in politics.
New effort by left to tar Marco Rubio as anti-woman
“This is a senator who was one of only 22 Republican men voting against the Violence Against Women Act,” said Stephanie Schriock, the group’s president, in an interview previewing the effort with TIME. “He has worked tirelessly to roll back women’s freedom.” Central to the EMILY’s list argument is Rubio’s vocal support for an upcoming Republican Senate bill to ban abortions after 20 weeks of gestation. The bill, which has not yet been brought for a vote, faces certain defeat in the Democrat-controlled Senate. “I’m very supportive of it. I’m already on a bill that does it in the D.C. area,” Rubio told POLITICO this week. “We’re trying to determine appropriate language that our colleagues can coalesce around, so that’s what we’re working on.”…
Celebs react to George Zimmerman verdict

Senate GOP braces for nuclear option
“I wouldn’t be surprised if they pull the trigger on Tuesday,” says Sen. John Cornyn, the second-ranking Republican in the Senate. “Reid has gone so far out on a limb.”
Robots to revolutionize farming, ease labor woes
On a windy morning in California’s Salinas Valley, a tractor pulled a wheeled, metal contraption over rows of budding iceberg lettuce plants. Engineers from Silicon Valley tinkered with the software on a laptop to ensure the machine was eliminating the right leafy buds.
Younger Hispanics Initially Identify As Independents – Which Is The GOP’s Window Of Opportunity
Last month, I posted a story about the voter registration misgivings conservative have with immigration reform. James Pethokoukis at AEI said that if the eleven million illegals here were able to vote in 2012, Obama wouldn’t have won more swing states. Additionally, he would’ve performed a half a percentage point better with Hispanics. On the other hand, Republicans can still make inroads with Hispanics, whose younger voters tend to identify as independents upon reaching voting age.
An early look at the 2014 Senate battleground
Nate Silver believes that Republicans “will end up with somewhere between 50 and 51 Senate seats after 2014, putting them right on the threshold of a majority.” He bases his conclusion on a race-by-race analysis of the seats being contested.

Incredible: Democratic Assemblywoman Says SIX Women Approached Her Complaining of Filthy Filner, But She Never Pressed the Matter, and Says Filthy Filner Shouldn’t Resign
I don’t know why I said “Democratic assemblywoman” in the headline; “Democratic” was obvious from context, wasn’t it? The moment a “feminist” starts defending a serial sexual assailant, you know the parties involved.
Jesse Jackson: ‘Inclination’ To Treat Florida As ‘Apartheid State’
As a response to the Trayvon Martin case and Florida’s stand your ground law Jessie Jackson is calling for a boycott of the state

‘Filthy Filner’ Says He’s Just a ‘Hugger’
San Diego Mayor Filner, also referred to as ‘Filthy Filner’ by his alleged victims, told KUSI yesterday that he is just a “hugger.” The remarks came following a press conference held by former councilwoman Donna Frye and attorneys Corey Briggs and Marco Gonzalez revealing salacious and disturbing details of alleged sexual harassment of subordinates and constituents.
San Diego NOW Calls for ‘Filthy Filner’ to Resign
We can add the San Diego chapter of NOW to the list of people and groups calling for San Diego Mayor Bob Filner to resign. Last week, former Filner ally and San Diego councilwoman Donna Frye brought to light salacious sexual harassment allegations against the Mayor.

McDonnell, wife received $120,000 from political backer
Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell and his wife reportedly received $120,000 from a political backer, and it may be perfectly legal — if otherwise highly questionable. McDonnell’s real-estate company received $70,000 from Jonnie R. Williams, and McDonnell’s wife Maureen received $50,000 directly from Williams, neither of which were reported on campaign-finance disclosures.
Democrat scandal brewing in CA52 race
California Democrat Rep. Scott Peters (CA52), is one of the GOP’s top targets in the 2014 midterm elections. Peters is a freshman Congressman and won by only a few points in 2012. The Republicans have a credible candidate to oppose Peters in Carl DeMaio, a young and “new generation” Republican who, so far, is beating Peters by a healthy margin in polling match ups.

You’re darned right I’m thinking of running for president, says … Peter King?

Early Wyoming poll: Mike Enzi leads Liz Cheney among Republicans — by 34 points
Amazing data via David Freddoso’s Conservative Intelligence Briefing — and I don’t mean the topline number, either. It’s no trick for a three-term incumbent with stratospheric name recognition to lead big early over a relative unknown.

The former president weighs in on NSA and the future of Internet platforms like Google and Facebook

“Geeks Out” seeking to end Ender’s Game
This is something I’ve been waiting for since at least the 90’s, and I’m not talking about the media catnip highlighted in the title. This November we’ll finally see the release of the movie version of Orson Scott Card’s sci-fi classic, Ender’s Game. Card has produced a lot of good work, but when I first read Ender’s Game, I was hooked. I did not wind up reading every book in the series, but the first four (also including Speaker for the Dead, Xenocide and Children of the Mind) were excellent. But the technology has only recently arrived to truly do the books credit in movie form, I think.
Harris-Perry: Detroit is “what it looks like when government is small enough to drown”
This cannot be real life. Tell me this is not real life.
Vegas Trayvon Rally: ‘Two Americas–What Works for Them, Doesn’t Work for Us’

The organizers were conscientious about trash clean up and letting people know this was a peaceful rally.

11 Signs That Italy Is Descending Into A Full-Blown Economic Depression
When you get into too much debt, really bad things start to happen. Sadly, that is exactly what is happening to Italy right now. Harsh austerity measures are causing the Italian economy to slow down even more than it was previously. And yet even with all of the austerity measures, the Italian government just continues to rack up even more debt. This is the exact same path that we watched Greece go down.

Bust: The numbers behind Detroit’s road to doom
David Freddoso, proprietor of the great Conservative Intel and columnist for the Washington Examiner, went to town on the nation’s biggest-ever municipal bankruptcy today, laying out on Twitter exactly what got Detroit where it is, what misguided tools city officials used to try fixing it, and the very real damage to a region and its people that a giant, failing city causes.
The Crash Of 1929
Based on eight years of continued prosperity, presidents and economists alike confidently predicted that America would soon enter a time when there would be no more poverty, no more depressions – a “New Era” when everyone could be rich. Then 1929 began – a time when the stock market epitomized the false promise of permanent prosperity… it’s only when we learn the lessons of the past can we avoid the mistakes of the future – or this time it’s really different.
Is This A 2007 Redux?
Whether, or not, the exact date of the market top it does bring attention to the recent correction and subsequent rally to new highs. Was that correction just a pullback in an ongoing upward bullish trend or is the beginning of a more major topping process much as we saw in 2007?
163-year-old telegram service to close forever at 9pm today
The 163-year old telegram service in the country – the harbinger of good and bad news for generations of Indians – is dead.
In Solidarity with Egypt’s Christians
Richard John Neuhaus once observed that the “language of solidarity in our time is much used and much abused.” For the ancient Christian communities of the Middle East, however, even token expressions of solidarity from America — especially America’s Christian community — would be welcomed. In the aftermath of Egypt’s June 30 revolution, in which millions of Egypt’s Christians marched alongside millions of moderate and secular Muslims to demand the removal of an Islamist regime, Christians find themselves once again in the crosshairs of Islamists.
One surveillance camera for every 11 people in Britain, says CCTV survey
Britain has a CCTV camera for every 11 people, a security industry report disclosed, as privacy campaigners criticised the growth of the “surveillance state”.
Mexico beats US to be world’s fattest country – but we’re still a close second

Jordan says Israeli carrots “invading markets” during Ramadan
Al Ghad writes about Jordanian markets selling Israeli carrots, but labeling them as coming from Syria or Turkey.
A Dagger at the Heart of Justice
The Zimmerman case has achieved its sublime reductio ad absurdum.
Requiring Equal Protection Doesn’t Violate the Equal Protection Clause
It’s unusual that the Supreme Court would choose to review an affirmative action case even though Fisher v. UT-Austin was still pending. Ordinarily, when faced with a second case on the same legal issue, the justices “hold” it until they decide the first, then either send the second one back to the lower court to apply the newly announced rule or, perhaps, schedule it for oral argument on any additional issues that need to be addressed. Yet Schuette v. Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action is no ordinary case.
Was the World a Better Place 100 Years Ago? Photographic Evidence
Yesterday Glenn Reynolds linked to this very beautiful set of black and white photographs, most of which are around 100 years old, although some go back to the Civil War. Glenn notes, “It’s sad to see how much better Detroit looked at the beginning of the last century. . . .” Well, yes: but that is a low bar. My reaction is, it isn’t just Detroit. The whole world looks better to me–less crowded, cleaner, more confident and hopeful. Better dressed, too.
Feds want Zimmerman, any way they can get him
This no longer is about George Zimmerman, it’s about a Department of Justice serving political interests.
Representin’ Ewok and the Signifyin’ Jive
Inside jokes about Ace’s resemblance to the cuddly creatures of The Return of the Jedi are a sort of signification — an advertisement of tribal membership — in the same way I sometimes get all redneck when I’m angry and start quoting The Outlaw Josey Wales.
The Debasing of Marriage
Up front I’ll tell you that I am opposed to homosexual marriage. I am opposed for a wide variety of reasons beginning with my belief that Lawrence v. Texas was a travesty. Be that as it may, I have to agree with many homosexual marriage supporters that it is heterosexuals who have succeeded in debasing marriage and we shouldn’t be surprised when the course we’ve charted for marriage over the past seventy or so years arrives at its logical conclusion in which marriage is treated as the punch line in a gay sex joke.
The Unpleasant Profession of Nancy Grace
If you are fond of simple and traditional American political categories, Nancy Grace is a mystery.
How Republicans Can Win in 2014
As most know, the world of politics is ever-changing. A new week can mean a substantial shift in polls and public opinion. This was demonstrated throughout the 2012 presidential election. President Obama and challenger Mitt Romney remained close throughout the length of the campaign. After his “47% comment,” Romney fell in the polls, but rebounded after a fantastic opening debate performance. If this volatility says anything, it’s that predicting the political future can be difficult.

No, We Do Not Live in ‘the Country of Emmett Till’
About ten years ago, I went on holiday to the south of France with my family. One evening, we walked over to the neighboring village to try a restaurant that we had been told was good. My mother, who speaks French fluently, walked in first and announced that there were six of us. Waving at the thirty or so empty tables, the owner made a joke, along the lines of, “I’ll see if I can fit you in somewhere.” Then, his face fell and he stopped laughing. “Actually,” he announced, “we’re full.” My mother laughed, awkwardly. “No, really,” he said. “We’re full.”
The Post-Zimmerman Poison Pill
The most poisonous untruth being peddled in the wake of the George Zimmerman acquittal is the claim that American justice is racist.

Women remain scarce in the most elite positions. And it’s by choice.
Educators as a co-parent? Nonsense
The story of Ben Levin underscores why we need to keep curriculum as simple as possible.
Marxist Kitsch and the Politics of Race
The Communist Manifesto is probably the only Marxist text that the millions of activists who responded to his message actually read. Inspired by its vision of a social redemption, Marxists went on to kill a hundred million people in the 20th Century and create the most oppressive tyrannies ever known. It is almost a decade since the empire that Marxism built collapsed in ruins, but it is already evident that the lessons of this tragedy have not been learned. The progressive left and its political faith have survived even the catastrophe of their socialist dreams.

If you’ve come to the Linguistica Translation and Recruitment blog in search of some sort of festive jamboree, complete with reindeers, elves and the big man himself, then you’re going to be disappointed. I’m afraid it’s been that kind of year. Instead, we’ve laid on a wonderfully festive platter of post-Brexit food labelling tips for you. Granted, they may not be particularly jolly, but they could prove to be jolly useful.
Whether or not a deal with the EU is in place, on 31 December 2020, the transition period will end and everything (in regard to food labelling) will change. Here’s what you need to know.
Food labelling after Brexit: What do you need to do?
Any business that exports goods to the EU of any kind will have to make a few changes to comply with the relevant import/export rules. All UK products that are exported to the EU/EEA will have to replace ‘Made in the EU’ with ‘Made in the UK’. That’s not the case in Northern Ireland, where EU labelling rules will remain in place. That’s the result of an agreement between the UK and the EU to avoid a hard border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
UK food products sold in the EU will have until 1 January 2021 to make the necessary labelling changes. However, that does not apply to products that are already on the market, which can continue to be sold with the old labelling.
- Food Business Operator (FBO) Address
One of the biggest changes to food labels after Brexit is that UK food producers exporting to the EU will have to include an EU food business operator address on their packaging. To do that, they will either need to open a legal entity in the EU or designate an EU-based importer.
- Country of Origin
In the EU, some foodstuffs such as fruits and vegetables, meat, fish, eggs, wine and olive oil must show their exact country of origin, while for other foodstuffs, simply ‘EU’ or ‘non-EU’ will do. From 1 January 2021, food produced in the UK for EU markets cannot be labelled ‘Origin: EU’. It’s a small change but one that you must make.
- Organic Products
From 1 January 2021, organic food produced in the UK and sold in the EU can no longer display the EU organic emblem. Critically, until an equivalent status has been assigned by the EU to UK standards, organic producers may not be able to export their produce to the EU at all.
- EU Emblem
UK food producers selling goods in the EU must not use the EU emblem on their labels from 1 January 2021, unless they have been authorised to do so by the EU.
Get prepared NOW!
Although the food labelling changes after Brexit shouldn’t be too problematic for most UK exporters, labelling changes can be costly and difficult to manage. At Linguistica International, we can help you produce food labelling quickly in multiple on-pack languages so you can hit the ground running when the new regulations come in.

The United States has produced a plethora of outstanding female skiers and snowboarders who have brought international recognition and notoriety to the American snow sports scene. We saluted many of these women in Part One and there are more, all of whom have been inducted in the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame. Many other accomplished female athletes can be found on the Hall of Fame web site. Also, see Part One of the “salute to women skiers and snowboarders”.
Gretchen Fraser was the first American to win ac Olympics gold medal. She also is a model of perseverance. She was a member of the U.S. Ski Team for the 1940 and 1944 Olympics, both of which were cancelled due to World War II. Finally, a week before her 29th birthday, Fraser won the gold medal in the slalom and a silver medal in the combined event in St. Moritz, Switzerland. during the 1948 Games. Gretchen and husband Don Fraser had both been named to the 1940 U.S. Olympic Teams which did not take place. They were supporters of the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation, the Wood River Trail System and the Nature Conservancy of Idaho. Her Olympic medals are on display in the restaurant named for her in the Sun Valley Lodge: Gretchen’s. Don died on January 12, 1994 and Gretchen died a month later on February 17, 1994.
Barbara Ann Cochran, born in 1951 in Claremont, New Hampshire, is one of four Cochran children. She is the mother of 2022 Super G Silver Medalist Ryan Cochran-Siegle. Barbara, older sister Marilyn and younger brother Bob were team members at the 1972 Olympic Winter Games in Sapporo, Japan. The women’s skiing events of the 1972 Sapporo (Japan) Olympic Winter Games saved the day for American skiing. Barbara Cochran won the slalom gold medal and Susan Luby Corrock won bronze in the opening downhill event only one second behind silver medalist, Annemarie Proell of Austria. For Susan it was the best run of her career and she said, “I didn’t make any mistakes.”. Corrock may be one of the least known U.S. Olympians
Cindy Nelson grew up in Lutsen, MN where her parents ran the ski area there. She was first named to the U.S. Ski Team in 1971, and evolved into one of the best international racers ever for the U.S. She won a bronze medal for the at the 12th Winter Olympics at Innsbruck, Austria in 1976, and was rated the top downhill racer on the team. Nelson was the first American to be named to four Olympic teams: 1972, 1976, 1980 and 1984. Missing the 1972 games due to injury, she went on to compete in the next three Olympic Games and four Alpine World championships. In 1974, Nelson broke Annemarie Moser-Proell’s winning streak to become the first U.S. racer (man or woman) to win a World Cup in downhill. She went on to become the first American to win four major alpine medals: 1976 Olympic Bronze DH, 1976 F.I.S. Bronze Comb, 1980 F.I.S. Silver Comb and 1982 F.I.S. Silver DH)!
Christin Cooper was named to the U.S. Ski Team at the age of 16 and competed in two Olympics and five Alpine World Cup disciplines for eight seasons. Cooper brought her career full circle when she skied to the silver medal in the Olympic giant slalom in 1984 at Sarajevo, Yugoslavia – behind teammate Debbie Armstrong to mark the first ever one-two U.S. Olympic sweep. She led after the first run but slipped in the second near the top of the course and that allowed Armstrong to slip past her for the gold medal. Cooper was the first American skier to win three medals in a single World Championships, earning a bronze and two silver medals at the 1982 World Championships held in Schladming, Austria. She went on to be a commentator for NBC Sports.
Picabo Street was born in Triumph, ID, the same year that Cindy Nelson was named to the U.S. Ski Team. The name of her home town may have been a precursor to her success. She is a two-time Olympic medalist, winning silver in downhill in 1994 at Lillehammer, Norway and gold in 1998 in Super-G at the Nagano, Japan Games. A popular team member, she changed her name to match the name of an Indian tribe in southern Idaho whose word “Picabo” meant “Shining waters.” She was the first American to win the World Cup overall downhill title. In 1996, she became Women’s F.I.SA. World Downhill Champion for the first time, taking a super-G bronze as well. She also took her second World Cup overall downhill title with three wins in 1996. Donning the same skis she used to win the Olympic downhill silver in 1994, she proceeded to win the 1998 Olympic super-G by the closest margin in Olympic history, just one-hundredth of a second. She recently collaborated with on a documentary about herself to air in 2022. Lindsey Vonn is the director.
Diana Golden was an inspiration to anyone who watched her ski or heard her speak. She began skiing when she was four years old and lost her right leg due to cancer in 1975 when she was 11 years old. Four years later, she was competing on her high school ski team and in her first U.S. Disabled Ski Championships. She was the Olympic Gold Medalist at the Calgary Olympics in 1988, World Champion 10 times and National title holder on 19 occasions. Golden received many prestigious awards, including the Flo Hyman Award in 1991, awarded by the Women’s Sports Foundation, the United States Ski Association’s Buddy Werner Award in 1989, the U.S. Olympic Committee’s Female Skier of the Year Award in1988 and the Beck International Award in 1986. She died in 2001 after a courageous battle with cancer.
Nicole “Nikki” Stone was the first American to win an Olympic Gold Medal in the sport of Aerial Freestyle skiing at the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan. She was the first Freestyle competitor from any country to have won every major title in Freestyle aerials including: Rookie of the Year, National Aerial Champion, World Cup Aerial Champion, Overall Aerial World Cup Champion, Olympic Gold Medalist in Aerial Freestyle skiing, World Champion and Overall Freestyle Grand Prix World Cup Champion. After joining the United States Freestyle Ski Team in 1991, Nikki won 4 United States Championships, 11 World Cup competitions, a World Championship gold, 2 Grand Prix World Cup Aerial titles, the Overall Freestyle World Cup Grand Prix Title, and in 1998, an Olympic Gold Medal. She retired in 1999 and now is a popular motivational speaker.
Tamara McKinney was born in Lexington, Kentucky, the youngest member of a family of seven children: all skiers, four of whom made the national ski team and all educated at home by their mother. Although she did not medal in an Olympics, in 1983, Tamara made history when she received the first-ever World Cup Women’s Overall Title – the same year that Phil Mahre won the men’s title. Tamara was also named Ski Racing’s 1983 Skier of the Year.
And, last but by no means least, one has to respect Lindsey Jacobellis (36 years old and the most decorated snowboarder in U.S. history) for her perseverance waiting 16 years to finally get the 2022 Snowboard Cross Gold after it slipped through her fingers in 2006. The icing on the cake was a second Gold with Nick Baumgartner in Team Snowboard Cross. Both were the oldest competitors in the sport. Truly an inspiration!


Alongside the new Microsoft Surface 3($688.00 at Amazon)(Opens in a new window), and its accessories, the Surface Pen and Surface Type Cover keyboard, Microsoft also has the new Surface 3 Docking Station ($199.99). With an easy-to-use docking mechanism and connections for peripherals and an external monitor, it's a useful accessory if you want your grab-and-go Surface 3 to also function as your primary Windows PC.
Design and Features
The Surface 3 Docking Station($129.00 at Amazon)(Opens in a new window) is a revamped version of the Microsoft Docking Station for Surface Pro 3($129.00 at Amazon)(Opens in a new window), offering the same sort of connectivity options and functions, but sized for the smaller 10-inch Microsoft Surface 3. The new dock features the same sort of plastic construction and port selection, though the layout is a little different, due to the smaller design.
The docking station features more ports than the Surface 3 tablet itself, with two USB 3.0 ports, two USB 2.0 ports, an audio jack, a Mini DisplayPort monitor output, and a Gigabit Ethernet connector. Peripheral users will now have a wired alternative for connecting a keyboard, a mouse, and storage, while the Ethernet port will be a boon if you need a wired network connection.
Microsoft Surface 3
Microsoft Docking Station for Surface Pro
Microsoft Docking Station for Surface Pro 3
The dock has a built-in cradle for the Surface 3, with sliding side brackets that lock the tablet into place. The right bracket connects the Surface to power, data transfer, and display outputs by way of integrated plugs for USB 3.0 and Mini DisplayPort. Set the tablet in the dock, slide the brackets in to lock it into place, and you're set. The dock also has an integrated security lock slot, but much like the Microsoft Docking Station for Surface Pro 3, this lock doesn't actually secure the tablet, just the dock. On the right-hand side of the dock is a built-in magnet that will conveniently hold the Surface Pen.
The dock sits at a 25-degree angle, which offers good visibility and touch-screen access, but there is no angle adjustment. While desktop use may be more comfortable with a standard USB-connected keyboard, the Surface Type Cover keyboard can still be used when docked, in both flat-to-the-table or folded-and-angled modes.
Microsoft covers the Surface 3 Docking Station with a one-year warranty.
As with the Microsoft Docking Station for Surface Pro 3, any connected monitor will mirror the tablet display by default, but this can be adjusted in the settings of the tablet. Unlike the Surface Pro 3, which can be daisy-chained to multiple displays or display at 4K resolution, the Surface 3 will output full HD (1,920-by-1,080) resolution to just one external monitor.
With only the Mini DisplayPort for monitor output, you'll be out of luck using the docking station with an HDMI- or DVI-equipped monitor. Microsoft does sell a Surface-branded Mini-DisplayPort-to-HD-AV (HDMI) Adapter ($39.99), but there is no official adapter to accommodate DVI. You may also want to pick up some speakers, since the audio from the tablet is silenced when docked. Monitors equipped with built-in speakers may be able to play audio; otherwise, you'll need to connect to the audio jack for sound.
Finally, the performance of the dock is tied directly to the capabilities of the tablet it works with. The Microsoft Surface 3 Pro boasts an Intel Core i3 ultrabook processor, making it a reasonable work machine. The Surface 3, however, utilizes a far-less-capable Intel Atom processor. The difference in processing power is noticeable enough when using each as a tablet—certain CPU-intensive programs, like Photoshop crawl along at a pace so slow as to be unusable—and will feel all the more limiting when used as a desktop.
If you want to regularly use the Surface 3 as your sole PC, the Microsoft Surface 3 Docking Station may be useful to have in order to connect to a monitor, mouse, and keyboard, but those external peripherals won't make the tablet a more powerful system.
The Microsoft Surface 3 Docking Station lets you connect a monitor and peripherals to your Surface 3 if you want to use the tablet as a primary PC.

On Feb. 24, a new Facebook error hit many accounts. Users encountered an error and were threatened with a warning message – “Someone may have logged into your account”.
Malware, spyware, adware – these are the few type of threats we often hear about or encounter, personally. While there are tons of anti-virus software to protect users’ system, there are some dark holes which are not easy to find and drop. These are the glitches created due to human error.
One such malfunction hit Facebook on Feb, 24 for the second time in the 48hours. Several Facebook users were given a warning message when they tried to log in.
“Someone May Have Logged Into your Account,” the warning followed by the title goes as:
In order to keep your information secure, we’ve locked your account. Before we can unlock it, please verify your identity and change your password. Your account will remain hidden until you complete this process.
Million of users faced this problem and in frustration, they posted an update about this glitch on Twitter.
However, this did not create big problems. The matter was resolved soon after its encounter.
Earlier today an error in one of our systems designed to help prevent suspicious account access sent a small set of people to our account recovery flow unnecessarily.
We have fixed the issue and are in the process of clearing the affected accounts from this recovery flow.
We apologize for any inconvenience.
While a problem like this most likely happens when the team at the backend is updating their system, no one has yet disclosed anything about this flaw.
A same glitch like this has already been seen by many users of Gmail. Earlier this week, many Gmail users were automatically signed out from their accounts. The team confirmed that they had found the problem and will clear it soon. They also announced that no phishing threat has yet been encountered.

Aims There is currently no published evidence looking into the use of departmental websites in medicine. This study investigated the usage, acceptance and potential benefits of a paediatric departmental intranet site in a DGH over a three year period.
Methods We introduced a paediatric intranet site in our department five years ago, which includes all of our guidelines on an exclusively paperless basis. Further information relevant to mainly medical but also nursing staff is provided through the site. We looked at the usage of all pages to our paediatric intranet site by analysing monthly hit rates for both the departmental pages and selected guideline documents. We then followed this up by undertaking a survey among junior doctors to determine more detailed user feedback.
Results The most frequented pages on our intranet site by far were the guideline pages with a monthly average of about 140 hits for the paediatric guideline index and approximately 100 for the neonatal guideline index. Most of the other departmental pages received between 5 and 10 hits per month. However, when looking at maintenance, these were pages requiring very little time in upkeep.
The departmental hit figures compared well to other hospital intranet pages, a fact reflected in a monthly usage survey showing four of the paediatric pages in the 25 most visited hospital pages. A survey of 40 junior medical staff working in the department confirmed that the intranet guidelines were easy to access with no patient safety risks identified but clear benefits for patient safety.
Conclusion This is the first study providing quantitative data for the usage of a paediatric departmental intranet site in a medium sized DGH in the UK. It shows that an intranet site can be a safe and worthwhile medium to disseminate important departmental information including medical guidelines. Most of all, the intranet site provides clear clinical governance benefits for departments such as the facility of providing even minor updates to guidelines in an instant. Our study is beneficial to any paediatric department considering the establishment of their own intranet site.

Although it is normal not to always want to clean our house and keep everything in perfect harmony, order and disorder in the home could have a strong correlation with our mental state according to a specialist.
In that sense, Dr. Sadi Jimenez, a naturopathic doctor at My LA Therapy, assures that depression can manifest as a messy and messy home. He can also indicate that apathy has set in. “The person could be overloaded in some areas of their life and it manifests itself by neglecting their environment,” he said in an interview for The Zoe Report.
Additionally, the National Institute of Mental Health (NIH) backs Jimenez’s theory, stating that if your living environment was once in very good condition, but has been neglecting it lately, could indicate a mental health problem.
The reason for this is that when someone suffers from depression, for example, research shows that everyday tasks, such as cleaning, become increasingly difficult. And the more the task is undone, the more likely the person will avoid it.
Clutter increases stress
Not only has clutter been found to increase stress, but other studies have found that it’s visually harder for the brain to process multiple objects at once, compared to if your space is fairly clear.
Research has found that people with clean houses are healthier overall than those with messy houses.
So on the other side of the spectrum is the person who is super neat and organized. “The idea of being too wordy can be identified with emotions of needing to be in controlJimenez says.
“It can represent the fear of letting go and finding pleasure or security in controlling the environment.” For example, some people suffer from obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and their cleansing rituals can take a long time. But others can be more orderly than messy and it is not a cause for concern.
Jiménez says there is a way to tell if the condition of your home or living space is affecting you in a negative way. “It’s a problem if it occupies other aspects of life,” he says. “For example, if the need to clean arises when an uncomfortable emotion arises” and the same goes for clutter.
“Clutter to any degree causes problems, whether people realize it or not,” home organization expert and co-founder of The Home Edit Joanna Teplin tells TZR in an email.
Also, it can affect your interpersonal relationships or cause you not to have guests, due to the embarrassment of your mess.

Snakehips continues to impress with ‘After I Met U’
What Snakehips lack in official releases they make up for in mouth-watering SoundCloud streams. From on-point originals to coveted remixes such as their take on the Weekend’s “Wanderlust,” Snakehips charming productions consistently leave fans harkening for more. Their latest piece to grace the online airwaves is the soulful “After I Met U.” Bristling with warm instrumental work and a vintage feel, the song is bolstered by dexterous R&B sampling. Two-thirds of the way through, the tracks takes on a new life, introducing a new beat altogether with another fresh dose of sample work. In a similar vein to the rest of Snakehips’ work, it is unclear if the song will ever see an official release. For now, however, we’re satisfied enough with this exciting glimpse of what’s to come for the burgeoning act.

Celtic Tiger ready to roar again with aid of R&D
- 22 October, 2006 21:00
The Celtic Tiger may be ready to roar again. Ireland earned the nickname when its economy underwent a dramatic boom during the late 1990s, fuelled largely by foreign investments from high-tech companies. Now the economy appears to be booming once more.
Last week the Irish government reported that 2005 had been the best year for foreign investment in Ireland since 2000 in terms of job creation, the development of Ireland’s research capabilities and capacity, and the range and quality of investments. As in the late 1990s, ICT companies made up a significant portion of the new ventures started up during the year.
Still, some onlookers are reluctant to predict the next great boom just yet. “The year 2005 was an exceptional year but there will still be challenges [in the future],” says Stuart McLaughlin, business development director for Accenture in Ireland.
The conclusion from the Irish Development Agency (IDA), the government department responsible for attracting overseas companies to locate operations in Ireland, is that its strategy of attracting research and development projects, as opposed to manufacturing or call centre initiatives, is working.
Fifty new research and development projects supported by the IDA were initiated in 2005, bringing in more than €260 million. Both the number of research and development projects and the total value are records in Ireland. Microsoft, Palm and Dell are among the companies that announced new research and development projects in Ireland during the year.
Overall, the IDA helped bring in 71 new business projects, involving a total investment over the coming years of €745 million (NZ$1.4 billion). In 2004, the most recent year for which the IDA has complete results, IDA-supported companies spent €15.5 billion in Ireland.
Other ICT companies that opened new operations or expanded existing businesses in Ireland include Yahoo, Amazon, Google, DC Studies, Siemens Business Services, OHG and Qlogic. Other companies that have set up new research and development ventures in Ireland include biomedical companies such as Pfizer, Bristol-Myers Squibb and Genzyme.
While the news is good for Ireland, experts concede that a banner 2005 doesn’t necessarily indicate increasing success in the future.
“The features of the Irish economy, which would have been clear maybe ten years ago when things really started picking up, have changed dramatically. This is no longer a low-cost location,” says McLaughlin.
The boom happened when overseas companies recognised that Ireland was a good location for manufacturing and call centre activities because it was a low cost place to do business. It also had an educated workforce, with good language skills, and a low corporate tax rate. But Ireland is now an expensive place to do business, with everything from electricity to telco services costing more than in most other European countries.
With that change, the IDA has switched course to try and attract higher-end business functions that may not be so reliant on cost. For some types of operations, such as research and development or certain financial activities, the quality of the workforce and operation may outweigh the higher cost of executing the operation, says McLaughlin.
In the future he expects internationally recognised brands to continue to be represented in Ireland, but new initiatives will continue to involve, for example, 50 to 100 researchers in a new operation, as opposed to a 300-seat call centre.
Another future challenge is a potential shortage of graduates with technical skills, says McLaughlin. When the high-tech market began to slow down, around the turn of the century, fewer students began pursuing technical careers. That shortage is just beginning to be felt now.
Also, the good news about new research and development projects ought to be balanced with other factors affecting the overall economy, says Nick Forbes, managing director for Capgemini in Ireland.
“The IDA is doing a fantastic job in terms of moving R&D but how much of the economy is focused around consumer confidence and construction?” he asks. A slowdown in the current construction boom and a drop in consumer confidence could outweigh the benefits of the new research and development wins.
Still, Forbes expects that, at least for the next four years, the IDA will continue to be able to leverage the benefits of doing business in Ireland in order to keep on attracting new investment.

Sketch (1871) by Rev. Frederick B. Allen. Image courtesy of the Adirondack Museum.
by Roy Crego
Photographs of early Adirondack guides are rare, and when found, they often show elderly gentlemen, not the young, active men who are described in contemporary journals and newspaper articles.
Thankfully, some artists were among the early visitors to the Adirondacks. In 1871, the Rev. Frederick B. Allen sketched a likeness of guide Abner Daniels.
Abner P. Daniels was born October 1, 1824 in West Turin, Lewis County, NY, to William and Clarissa Daniels. His middle name is not known, but the initial “P.” was used regularly throughout his life. Continue reading

Fishing has always been one of the major attractions of the Adirondacks, and to ensure visitors had an ample supply of fish, New York State and private groups began building fish hatcheries in the late 19th century.

In 1895, the Adirondack League Club built a fish hatchery on Combs Brook, near the south branch of the Moose River, to stock the lakes and streams on their preserve.
The hatchery bought fish eggs and raised them to large fry, which had a better chance of survival when released. Continue reading

October marked the 100th anniversary of a tragic event at Little Moose Lake. On October 20, 1913, a hunting accident took the life of Frank M. Holmes, a popular Adirondack guide.
The accident took place on the Adirondack League Club preserve at the private camp of Eugene H. DeBronkart, a 24-year-old businessman from Chicago.
The camp was located in the East Bay of Little Moose on Lot 51.
DeBronkart and the veteran guide Holmes, age 40, were making preparations on the front porch for a deer hunt at 8 a.m.
DeBronkart loaded his rifle and thought the weapon was half-cocked, but it slipped to full cock and discharged. Holmes was struck in the side. Continue reading


TEAM BATH RACING ELECTRIC
Supporting the next generation of engineers
At Cubik Innovation we are always keen to lend a hand wherever we can. Over the years, we have supported several students through internships, provided work experience placements and helped with live projects.
When Guy Barkley, an engineering student from the University of Bath, got in touch to tell us about an exciting project he and his peers were working on, we jumped at the chance to help. Team Bath Racing Electric (TBRe) is made up of a group of current 3rd year undergraduate engineering students designing a single seat, open wheeled electric race car. The design and development of the race car, as well as integrating an element of business studies, forms part of their course.
Guy and his colleagues, Sam Bath and Aaron Forward, designed two separate printed circuit boards (PCB’s) for the car. One PCB for power management and one PCB which would be mounted directly onto the dashboard for indication. Cubik Innovation took receipt of the completed design files and manufactured the board at our in-house facility.
Six months later, TBRe had completed the car build and competed in the Institute of Mechanical Engineers Formula Student event at Silverstone.
Unfortunately, the team did not make it through scrutineering. But were the only UK team to have a car that ran a PCB putting them ahead of the competition, electrically speaking. The team continued to develop the car so that they could compete in the Class 2 design event at Silverstone and other Formula Student events globally.

Adrian Schmieder of HiETA commented: “Cubik’s quick turn-around of a functioning PCB has sped the delivery of the project and enabled me to focus on areas of the project in which HiETA has expertise. The project is a great success and produced valuable information even from its first use. I am very impressed with the support Cubik provided me throughout the project, from initial concept through to PCB delivery. I will not hesitate to engage with them again as future PCB projects arise.”
Speaking about the collaboration between Inductosense and Cubik Innovation, Founder and CTO Dr Chenghuan Zhong (Bamboo) stated: "It was great working with the knowledgeable and experienced team at Cubik Innovation. They always provide full support as well as useful and thoughtful advice to us, helping us find solutions for really difficult problems."
Geoff Jones, Aquabar Inventor: "It was a pleasure to work with Cubik on our project. Paul and Sam understood the concept at one meeting, and produced a solution filling the brief within two weeks which has enabled us to find a potential partner. We will certainly use Cubik for our production units later in the year, Many thanks."
Paul Davey, Associate Professor (SL) Plymouth University: "If you need a prototype developed to a high standard and on time you would be hard pushed to find someone better. They have highly trained, experienced engineers who get the job done."
Clean Energy Prospector Ltd
Damon Rand, Head Product Design: "Paul and the team have really helped us speed up the turnaround on our prototypes and assure the manufacturability of our designs. If you’re designing electronics in the South-West, then Cubik is a great choice for short-run manufacturing."

British guitar amp manufacturer Orange is making official plans to produce a hybrid Windows 7 PC and guitar amp. The company is calling it the OPC, and it's due out in August for a whopping $1,499.
In an era where musicians are increasingly recording their music using computer software and pro-audio-grade sound cards, the idea of plugging an instrument into a computer is nothing new. The OPC simply takes the increasingly computer-assisted home recording rig to it's most absurd (though awesome) conclusion by marrying your guitar amp and computer into a single piece of hardware.
As a computer, the OPC runs an x64-bit version of Windows 7 Home Premium on an Intel Pentium Processor E5400 (2M cache, 2.70GHz, 800MHz FSB). The graphics card is an Nvidia GeForce 9300 overclocked to 580MHz. A 7,200rpm, 500GB hard drive comes standard, along with 4GB or RAM, HDMI/VGA/DVI video output, seven USB 2.0 ports, and one eSATA port. There's also a top-loading DVD±RW and an 802.11g Wi-Fi antenna that sticks out from the top.
Aside from the Wi-Fi antenna, ventilation panels, and glut of PC i/o on the back, the rest of the OPC looks just like a shrunken version of Orange's unmistakable guitar amps and speaker cabinets. Beyond the aesthetics of the orange tolex covering and wheat-colored grille cloth, Orange also went to the trouble of integrating quarter-inch guitar and mic/line inputs in the top, along with knobs for volume, treble, bass, and balance.
As an amp, the OPC kicks out an impressive 30 watts split between two 6.5-inch JBL speakers. Guitar tone is essentially dictated by the bundled software, which includes IK Multimedia Amplitube 3, as well as Presonus Studio Orange recording software, EZ Drummer Lite, Acoustica Mixcraft, and Licklibrary.

Memorable Manitobans: Joseph Armour Potter (1871-?)
Merchant, municipal official.
Born in Bruce County, Ontario on 16 September 1871, he was educated at Walkerton and Owen Sound High School. After initially working as a school teacher, he earned a business diploma at Owen Sound Business College and worked as a bookkeeper in Chicago, Illinois. He moved to Winnipeg in 1894 and began work as a general store merchant, a venture he continued until transitioning to real estate in 1903, during which he owned the Potter Block / Potter’s Hall (built in 1896, demolished then rebuilt in 1910, an early home to the St. Cuthbert’s Anglican Church) on Nairn Avenue.
On 3 April 1901, he married Clementine Rebecca “Clementina” Crawford (1885-1930, daughter of William Crawford) at Kildonan. The couple had one daughter, Irene Yeta “Zetta” Potter (1904-?). He served as a Councillor of Kildonan (1900), City of Winnipeg Alderman (1908-1912), and Secretary-Treasurer of the East Winnipeg Conservative Club (1908). In 1912, after initially declaring his intent to run in the Elmwood neighbourhood (Ward 7), he backed out due to pressing business demands on his time in Vancouver and Victoria, British Columbia. He later left Winnipeg, taking up residence at Seattle, Washington around 1918. Following the August 1930 death of his wife in Seattle, and her return for burial in Elmwood Cemetery, his whereabouts are unknown.

The comprehensive Android Oreo device update list
Android O was released on August 21 and with that out of the way, we can focus on the race between OEMs to see which ones push updates out faster.
Oreo, as a major update, brings a slew of significant improvements, most notably in the UX, UI, and security departments. Other functionalities like improved Bluetooth connectivity and audio processing are extras on top of what is already an incredible package.
As usual, the bigger OEMs will be the first to get updates, with Google paying attention to its own Nexus and Pixel lines. "We're pushing the sources to Android Open Source Project (AOSP) for everyone to access today. Pixel and Nexus 5X/6P builds have entered carrier testing, and we expect to start rolling out in phases soon, alongside Pixel C and Nexus Player," the proprietors of the Android OS said on their official blog. "We’ve also been working closely with our partners, and by the end of this year, hardware makers including Essential, General Mobile, HMD Global Home of Nokia Phones, Huawei, HTC, Kyocera, LG, Motorola, Samsung, Sharp, and Sony are scheduled to launch or upgrade devices to Android 8.0 Oreo. Any devices enrolled in the Android Beta Program will also receive this final version. You can learn more at android.com/oreo."
At the moment, only users of devices in the Nexus and Pixel lines have access, as OTA updates rolled out over the past few weeks. Those yet to get OTA updates can flash the update manually with the files here—at the cost of their data, of course.
Samsung has been mostly silent on the issue, which is to be expected, really, as its Galaxy S8 is still yet to get an update to Android 7.1 Nougat. The newly released Note 8 runs on Android 7.1.1 Nougat, though, so updates for other devices won't be so far off, we expect. There are rumors, however, that the OEM is working on the Oreo update for the S8 and S8+. While there's no concrete information at the moment, Samsung tends to release major updates for two years, so devices released from the tail end of 2015 onwards should have hopes of receiving Oreo.
Alongside Motorola, Sony has a great reputation of releasing timely updates, with the OEM reportedly sending out updates within weeks of the Nougat launch last year. This year may not be as impressive as the last one but users of recently released Sony devices can expect Oreo on their devices in the near future. This includes devices like the Xperia XZ Premium, Xperia XZ, Xperia XZS, Xperia XA1, Xperia XA1 Ultra, Xperia XA1 Touch, Xperia X, Xperia X Performance, and Xperia X Compact. The Z3, Z3+, Z5, XA, and XA Ultra are examples of devices that will not receive the update.
The Nokia 8 was touted to release with Oreo on board in what would have been a nigh-poetic move (Eight on Eight) but the Nokia flagship ended up being launched before the Android package. There aren't a lot of Nokia devices out at the moment, with HMD Global having only the Nokia 3, 5, 6, and 8 to its name. This makes updates a much easier task, with all devices expected to get the upgrade to Oreo. There's already word of Oreo being tested on the Nokia 8, so it won't be long before users get it.
OnePlus released the OnePlus 5 a few months ago, and the OEM has promised that the device will get the Oreo update, with users in the OnePlus 3 closed Beta Program already receiving the 800mb+ Oreo update. Both the OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T will receive Oreo, although that will be the last major update they receive, with the OEM reducing updates to simple security patches after that. The OnePlus 2 and OnePlus X will not get Oreo.
Update 18/9/17: Motorola has released its official roadmap for Android Oreo. According to the press release, the devices to receive Oreo updates are the Moto Z, Moto Z Droid, Moto Z Force Droid, Moto Z Play, Moto Z Play Droid, Moto Z2 Play, Moto Z2 Force Edition, Moto X4, Moto G5, Moto G5 Plus, Moto G5S, and Moto G5S Plus. The G4, G4 Plus, E4, E4 Plus, C, and C Plus all miss out, sadly.
Update 20/9/2017: Motorola has confirmed that the G4 Plus will, in fact, be getting Oreo.
Huawei devices run on the OEM's own EMUI skin, so specific information on software release roadmaps aren't an exact science. The OEM has reportedly claimed that its Honor 8 Pro and Honor 6X will receive Oreo, though. We also expect all midrange and flagship devices released from 2016 onwards to get updates to Oreo. This includes devices like the Honor 8, Honor 8 Lite, Huawei P9, Huawei P9 Plus, Huawei P9 Lite, Huawei P10, Huawei P10 Lite, Huawei P10 Plus, and the Huawei Mate 9.
Asus, at the unveiling of the Zenfone 4 series a few weeks ago, announced that devices in the Zenfone 3 and 4 series are going to get the Oreo update.
We'll be sure to keep this list updated with new information and official confirmations.

Move is official on Monday, Jan. 16
ECM Staff Writer
As the North Anoka County Emergency Food Shelf’s East Bethel facility expands for more food and clothing storage, its Linwood Township location closes. Effective Monday, Jan. 16, all distribution will be handled in East Bethel at 18511 Highway 65 NE. The last day NACE will operate the Linwood food shelf is Friday, Jan. 13.
NACE Director Joanne Yackel said the only motive is to better serve the people. That is why NACE agreed to operate the Linwood food shelf in the first place. She stressed that NACE will still help people in Linwood and other communities that it has always served.
“NACE’s interests has always been about serving the clients,” Yackel said. “In the end, that will still happen.”
To ease the transition for people having difficulty getting to East Bethel, the Linwood Covenant Church will bring a van to East Bethel on the second Monday of every month, according to Judy Steven, who is organizing the bus rides.
The van leaves at 9:15 a.m., but Steven said people planning to ride should contact the church ahead of time so they know how many will be using it. The church’s phone number is 651-462-3780.
Despite NACE’s efforts to ease the transition, some Linwood residents are not happy about the decision.
Steven said some people are upset because Linwood is its own small community that has had a food shelf for about 15 to 20 years before NACE agreed to take over operations in the summer of 2010.
Steven is not a fan of the move either. She is concerned about the people who will have to spend more on gas money to get to the food shelf.
The East Bethel and Linwood NACE locations are about 10 miles apart.
Melvin Pfaffendorf, vice chairperson of the Linwood Senior Center Advisory Board, is not angry about the decision but is disappointed because the food shelf was such an important part of the community.
According to Pfaffendorf, many local businesses, schools and churches donated to the food shelf, residents brought in fresh fruit and vegetables and bread, while The Golden Club senior citizen group made coffee and rolls that people could dine on when picking up their food.
“I think the food shelf here at Linwood has been serving people for a good number of years,” Pfaffendorf said.
“I feel it was a good location because it was situated on the edge of Anoka County.”
Mike Halliday has a dual perspective of serving on the town board and the NACE Board of Directors. He thinks NACE made the right decision and said that NACE’s outreach efforts led to a much higher use of the East Bethel and Linwood food shelf.
Residents have called to ask what led to the decision, but Halliday said nobody has expressed anger about it to him.
“I look at it as being the best way to meet NACE’s mission to provide food and clothing for people,” he said.
According to Yackel, NACE distributed 50,243 pounds of food to 566 households in November and December of 2010. As of Dec. 16, NACE had distributed 53,243 pounds of food to 605 households in November and part of December of 2011.
Yackel credited the volunteers NACE had at the Linwood food shelf and hopes they will continue to serve at the East Bethel location.
The hours are unchanged from Mondays through Wednesdays, but volunteers are needed for Thursdays, which was one of the days the Linwood location was open. NACE will no longer be open on Fridays.
Annebelle Budde helped run the Linwood food shelf and will move to the East Bethel location. Linda Wieser will continue to work at the East Bethel location.
Yackel said with all three staff members being at same building, each person can focus more on a certain task, although all are trained to do everything.
For the first trial period, Wieser will be focused on client in-take and coordinating volunteers while Budde will be in charge of ordering food from the food bank and organizing the warehouse, she said.
Yackel said it was a tough decision to close the Linwood food shelf, but she said it is the best long-term solution. “Long-range, it will be more administratively effective,” she said.
The NACE Food Shelf and the Clothing Closet needed to find a new home in 2006 when Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church moved. The food shelf moved to a small vacant office building near the East Bethel Theater and the Clothing Closet was housed at the Cedar United Methodist Church in Ham Lake.
On Aug. 31, 2009, NACE opened at its present location. The leased space was big enough to handle the food shelf and the Clothing Closet.
Even before this location opened, the Linwood Town Clerk Judy Hanna had contacted NACE to see if it could operate the township’s food shelf.
In a previous interview, Hanna told the Anoka County Union that the food shelf in Linwood could no longer purchase the discounted food from the Second Harvest Heartland food bank unless Linwood started a non-profit organization or merged with an existing non-profit or a church.
NACE and Linwood were eventually able to reach an agreement in which NACE would operate the Linwood location. According to Yackel, there were plenty of volunteers in Linwood, but there were logistical challenges.
For example, Yackel said NACE saved money on delivery costs, by asking truck drivers to only come to the East Bethel location. A NACE volunteer or staff person would then drive a little over 10 miles to the Linwood food shelf to drop off food.
The same thing had to happen when people made bulk donation drops at the East Bethel location because Yackel wanted to ensure that clients going to Linwood were adequately served.
As donations and demand increased, NACE needed more space. This past fall, NACE signed an agreement to purchase Suite 200 at 18511 Highway 65 NE that it has leased since August 2009. NACE also purchased the neighboring vacant Suite 100, according to Yackel.
Connie Jeffers, chairperson of the NACE Board, said NACE wanted certainty over its future and owning rather than renting is a huge deal.
“It feels permanent,” Jeffers said. “We feel this is where we’re going to be. We don’t have to wonder, ‘Will the building be sold from under us?’”
Around the same time that NACE was purchasing this office space in East Bethel, the Linwood Town Board was considering the future of the Linwood food shelf.
Yackel said a person on the Linwood advisory board who volunteers for NACE raised the idea that the senior center could offer more storage space for food shelf. Yackel was thrilled about this possibility, but during exploration of this concept, an issue was raised about whether the space NACE utilizes at the Linwood Senior Center would be temporary or permanent, she said.
According to the Sept. 27 minutes of the Linwood Town Board, all board supervisors voted to give up to three feet more storage space to NACE and approve the food shelf site as permanent.
Although he voted yes, Supervisor Philip Osterhus said he believes the long-range planning he was part of never meant for 500 square-feet already used by NACE to be used forever.
Jeffers said the town board’s decision played no role in the NACE board’s decision on Oct. 13 to close the Linwood food shelf.
Yackel was not certain if Linwood could have determined that the food shelf space was needed for something else down the road.
NACE would have needed an attorney to review the documents if it had proceeded further with Linwood’s proposal, but she said that NACE is an independent non-profit and its board decided it was best to not have this uncertainty and be under any political group.
“We need to think of the best interests and most secure long-term interest for NACE,” Yackel said.

The continuous increase in the cost of feeds and the need to improve the sustainability of animal production require the identification of alternative feeds, such as those derived from the agro-industrial sector, that can be effectively used for animal nutrition. Since these by-products (BP) are sources of bioactive substances, especially polyphenols, they may play an important role as a new resource for improving the nutritional value of animal-derived products, being effective in the modulation of the biohydrogenation process in the rumen, and, hence, in the composition of milk fatty acids (FA). The main objective of this work was to evaluate if the inclusion of BP in the diets of dairy ruminants, as a partial replacement of concentrates, could improve the nutritional quality of dairy products without having negative effects on animal production traits. To meet this goal, we summarized the effects of widespread agro-industrial by-products such as grape pomace or grape marc, pomegranate, olive cake, and tomato pomace on milk production, milk composition, and FA profile in dairy cows, sheep, and goats. The results evidenced that substitution of part of the ratio ingredients, mainly concentrates, in general, does not affect milk production and its main components, but at the highest tested doses, it can depress the yield within the range of 10–12%. However, the general positive effect on milk FA profile was evident by using almost all BP at different tested doses. The inclusion of these BP in the ration, from 5% up to 40% of dry matter (DM), did not depress milk yield, fat, or protein production, demonstrating positive features in terms of both economic and environmental sustainability and the reduction of human–animal competition for food. The general improvement of the nutritional quality of milk fat related to the inclusion of these BP in dairy ruminant diets is an important advantage for the commercial promotion of dairy products resulting from the recycling of agro-industrial by-products.
Grape, Pomegranate, Olive, and Tomato By-Products Fed to Dairy Ruminants Improve Milk Fatty Acid Profile without Depressing Milk Production / Correddu, F.; Caratzu, M. F.; Lunesu, M. F.; Carta, S.; Pulina, G.; Nudda, A.. - In: FOODS. - ISSN 2304-8158. - 12:4(2023), p. 865. [10.3390/foods12040865]
