| USDA THREATENS ORGANC FARMERSFri, 05 Dec 2008 07:03:47 -0800 by bill122460December 4, 2008CORNUCOPIA, Wisconsin - December 3 - Many media outlets, from the New York Times to the blogosphere, have tracked what has been dubbed the corporate takeover of organic farming. One of the hottest controversies in this rapidly growing $20 billion industry has been giant factory farms milking thousands of cows each in feedlots and masquerading as organic. Some of these industrial dairies are controlled by the nations largest agribusinesses.Since the organic community first appealed to the USDA for better clarification and enforcement of regulations requiring organic dairy producers to graze their cattle, nearly 9 years ago, the number of giant industrial dairy operations, with as many as 10,000 cows, has grown from two to approximately 15. After years of delay, the USDA has finally responded with a new proposed rule that they said would crack down on abuses.The birds have come home to roost, said Mark Kastel, Senior Farm Policy Analyst for The Cornucopia Institute. The Wisconsin-based farm policy research group estimates there are 35,000 to 45,000 cows on giant CAFOs (concentrated animal feeding operations) operating in the United States producing as much as 40% of the nations organic milk supply. These CAFOs are producing so much milk that they have depressed pricing and profit margins for organic family farmers, and now some are being forced out of business by this distressing situation, Kastel said. Organics was supposed to be the antidote to family farmers being forced off the land.The Cornucopia Institute has filed formal legal complaints with the USDA aimed at compelling the agency to enforce organic livestock and management rules. These actions have led to the shut down or penalizing of some of what they call organic scofflaws. But many in the industry criticized the agency for failing to fully investigate many other alleged violations on giant farms, including several that supply milk to the nations largest dairy processor, Dallas-based Dean Foods.

| Horny Intentions - I'm Feeling Love.wmvFri, 05 Dec 2008 06:51:35 -0800 by OldYank1Outstanding 1994 house/dance tune taken from Canadian-produced CD compilation "Just Dance."Please listen to this tune through its entirety. You will not be disappointed. You will soon figure out the motivation for the artist title "Horny Intentions."As an American, I had minimal exposure to European radio. I do not know how much airplay this tune or mix had back in the day.My first music loves are old skool piano/hardcore piano and Italian Style. However, I will upload tunes of other categories which I believe are unique, quality, underplayed, and worthy of remembrance. Label: 1994 Groove NationFormat: CD compilation "Just Dance"Country: Unclear (Canada/USA)Genre: ElectronicStyle: House, DanceCredits: Johnny Loopz Related: horny intentions i'm feeling love just dance house johnny loopz | |

The portrait of a generation where marriage was until death do us apart, and a time of misery and oppression marked by the inheritance of the Spanish Civil War. The portrait of man and woman, father, mother and son, their worries, dreams, disappointments, experiences and feelings. The portrait of identity, origin, memory and a life like a puzzle to solve. Sometimes a confusing portrait, almost blurred, like memories. A portrait where facial expressions question the past, present and future, on the debate of life itself. We go round and round again but questions remain: who are we and why are we like this?AwardsAward City of Madrid Madrid for Best Spanish Feature Film At the International documentary Festival of Madrid May 2005.Special Mention at the International documentary Festival of Tui.
