'Dairy cliff' may be avoided, for a year at least
5 hrs.
Farm-state lawmakers have agreed to a one-year extension of the expiring U.S. farm bill that, if enacted, would head off a possible doubling of retail milk prices to $7.00 or more a gallon in 2013.?
The compromise measure resulted from bipartisan discussions in the House of Representatives' Agriculture Committee and talks with colleagues in the U.S. Senate, Frank Lucas of Oklahoma, the House panel's chairman, said in a statement Sunday.?
"It is not perfect - no compromise ever is - but it is my sincere hope that it will pass the House and Senate and be signed by the President by January 1," Lucas, a Republican, said.?
It was not immediately clear whether House and Senate leaders would bring the measure to a vote soon enough to avoid putting the so-called "dairy cliff" milk price spike into action.?
Separately, lawmakers are working on a last-ditch effort to avert the similarly timed "fiscal cliff," when the biggest tax increases ever to hit Americans are set to start, paired with significant federal spending cuts?
U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, in an interview with CNN taped Friday and aired on Sunday, urged Congress to come up with such a solution, if only an extension of the old law that expired nearly three months ago, lest milk prices start rising after Jan. 1, 2013.?
Absent a new bill or an extension of current law, milk prices would revert to rules set in 1949, the last "permanent" farm legislation in the United States. Government price supports would kick in, based on production costs 64 years ago, plus inflation. The potential retail milk price has been estimated at $6.00 to $8.00 a gallon versus current levels near $3.50.?
Lucas said in the statement that time had run out in Congress' current session to enact a new five-year farm bill, as farm-state lawmakers and the dairy lobby had hoped.?
Vilsack told CNN that soaring milk prices - if it comes to that - would ripple throughout all commodities "if this thing goes on for an extended period of time."?
The price of milk will not double on Jan. 1, if Congress fails to act. Instead, prices would rise gradually as supplies are removed from normal markets and land instead in U.S. Department of Agriculture storage facilities.?
With supplies more scarce in normal marketing channels, some milk distributors and dairy product manufacturers could have turned to imported supplies.?
The Department of Agriculture is reviewing a range of options for administering programs should a permanent law become legally effective on Jan. 1, a spokesman said on Friday.?
The Senate passed its new five-year farm bill in June, and the House Agriculture Committee followed with a version in July.?
But the House bill, with large cuts in food-stamp funding for lower-income Americans, has never been brought to a vote by the full House. The Senate and House have for months remained far apart on the issues of food stamps and crop subsidies.?
Lucas said the year-long extension "provides certainty to our producers and critical disaster assistance to those affected by record drought conditions."?
It would also mean another round of the direct subsidies to farmers that cost about $5 billion a year, and that both sides of debate had agreed earlier to eliminate.?

OBAMA WILL SEEK THIRD TERM | Weekly World News
President Obama is beginning the process to amend the Constitution to allow him to run for a third term.
President Obama is beginning the process to amend the Constitution to allow him to run for a third term.
WWN learned that the White House and President Obama?s campaign machine have a ?foolproof? plan for the President to successfully achieve a third (and perhaps a fourth) term in office.
?President Obama only faces opposition in the House,? ?a White House insider told WWN. ??Barack plans to divide the Republicans in the House and so weaken them that in 2014, the Democrats will once again be the majority. ?After that he will introduce an amendment to repeal the 22nd amendment, which limits the President?s term in office.?
Chris Matthews of CNBC is already pushing the idea and said on the air that he thinks Obama will successfully pass an amendment doing away with the 22nd Amendment.
Many in Washington feel that if President Obama can get the amendment on the docket, he can successfully get two-thirds of the states to ratify it. ??The President is extremely confident that he can get the necessary states to ratify the amendment and then he can run for office in 2016 and 20120.?
Sources say that President Obama believes that his plan is already working. ?The Republicans in Congress are having a Civil War over the Fiscal Cliff. ? ?President Obama?s master plan is working,? reportedly said top adviser, David Axelrod.
President Obama has long felt that the 22nd Amendment was put in place in a hasty manner and only in response to FDR?s death. ??The amendment is ridiculous. ?There are no Congressional term limits, why should there be a Presidential term limit?? said Axelrod.
Republicans are furious that the President would even contemplate this idea. ? A number of groups are already pulling out the old buttons:
Overturning the amendment would require a two-thirds vote by both chambers of Congress, followed by ratification of the proposal by 38 states. ? The White House predicts this will happen in 2015.

Microsoft Patents Internet Hugs
Sending hugs long distances sounds like the sort of thing wished for in soppy songs, but Microsoft has just taken out a patent for an Internet-enabled pillow that will give you a hug sent across the Web.
US patent application number 8,332,755 filed by Zhengyon Zhang and six other inventors on behalf of Microsoft Corporation is for ?Force-feedback within telepresence?, which doesn?t sound quite so cuddly, but the idea is that two people can use devices connected to the Internet to add a physical interaction such as a hug or a handshake to long-distance communications.
Who says Steve Ballmer hasn?t got a romantic side?
The patent isn?t just about hugs, though. The application discusses ways you could shake hands over the Web, and the feedback goes further than vibrations. The feedback could include ?friction, haptic, tactile, electric feedback, electrical stimulation, three-dimensional feedback, vibration, shaking, physical resistance, temperature change, motion, noise, pressure, texture, a motion, a replication of touching, any combination thereof, and/or any other suitable feedback communicated via a device.?
?
That seems to leave quite a lot of long-distance money-making options open, but we leave the details of quite what app you might develop open.
In practical terms, Microsoft might well look to its recent acquisition Skype, and add elements of physical presence to that. The patent also talks about whiteboards and handing over documents, which suggests SharePoint might be another candidate for the technology. On the whole, internet hugs sounds a lot more fun.
The idea is an interesting one with lots of practical potential but is it unique? It reminded us of the Like-A-Hug vest invented by researchers at MIT earlier this year that delivers a hug when its wearers gets a like on Facebook.
However it seems to be yet another software/system patent that aims to grab some obvious ideas just because they can be grabbed. Does anyone really think that this patent is going to stand if another company takes it on? The problem is that it is going to put a lot of smaller companies off trying out similar ideas.? This is clearly another nonsense patent in more ways than one.

Ruth Hughes' Inspirational, Plant-Based Weight Loss Story | Will ...
Every now and then I meet someone during my travels that moves me beyond words. Shortly after publishing my one-year road trip update, naming the 10 14 most memorable people from the journey, I landed in San Diego and met Ruth Hughes. Ruth and I had been in touch about meeting up when I made my way to San Diego, so we set aside a dinner date at Cafe Gratitude. During our chat I learned about Ruth?s incredible journey to veganism and her life-changing weight loss story. I rarely invite guest bloggers to WTFVF but I?immediately?knew that Ruths? story was one worth sharing. Ruth is our very first guest writer, related to a personal vegan-transition story.
Welcome, Ruth Hughes:
Since a young age weight has been a struggle in my life. I definitely experienced challenges growing up, from peer acceptance to trying to keep up with healthier and fit kids, but never really realized until my late 20?s, how carrying the extra weight would lead me to a reality that I never thought I would face- ongoing health issues. At the end of 2009, I was prompted to see a doctor after experiencing nausea, muscle aches, dizziness and extreme exhaustion for several weeks. During this appointment I was given a routine exam. It had been several years since I had been in a doctor?s office let alone stepped on a scale. After weighing in, the nurse told me the actual number; I was in shock?290 pounds! Immediate shame, remorse, among other feelings took over as I sat in the examination room waiting for the doctor. After these initial feelings though, I thought ?what if I could finally beat the weight issue for good and live a healthier life?? This wasn?t the life I had imagined. All of the food choices I had been making for 29 years were literally shortening my life expectancy and I knew I had to make immediate changes. With a history of high blood pressure and diabetes in my family it wasn?t a shock when the doctor told me that I had both, but I thought that I had more time, before having to succumb to taking medications and managing a disease on a daily basis. I told the doctor that I had no desire to be dependent on medication and that I would do the work necessary to lose the weight. I left that appointment, feeling for the first time in my life, that I could truly attain my weight loss goals with fortitude and perseverance.
Immediately after leaving the doctor?s office I started researching healthy eating, weight loss programs, fitness routines, among other topics in an effort to jump start my weight loss. Several stepping stones in my weight loss journey included Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig. Due to the high costs of membership and food though, I only participated in each of these programs for a short time. These programs provided me with a wealth of information on making better food choices, but were only a jump start in my weight loss journey; because in order for me to achieve long term weight loss my approach to health and fitness would need to become a permanent lifestyle change. While I did see results from these programs I still wanted to eat less processed foods and felt that in order to maintain long term weight loss I needed to continue my research towards finding the right balance of healthy eating and fitness.
During my research and recommendations from numerous friends I watched the documentary Food, Inc. This documentary changed my perspective towards eating meat and was extremely informative. A little under a year and half into my weight loss journey I reached a plateau and was not able to lose weight as consistently as I had been. While continuously adjusting my exercise routine, counting calories, etc., proved to be helpful it still did not yield the results I was hoping for. Earlier this year I was talking to a good friend of mine, who adopted a whole-food plant-based diet nine months prior, about my weight loss journey and she encouraged me to watch Forks Over Knives. Literally, a few days after that conversation the documentary was available to view for free on an internet video streaming website and after watching this documentary, I knew I needed to adopt a whole-food plant-based diet. This was a whole new world to me though, and I am the type of person that always researches something in order to have a plan in place or at least an idea of how I would implement this new lifestyle change before diving in. I knew in order to be successful the first six months of my transition from?carnivore to herbivore, while finishing my Master?s degree (which by the way I graduated a couple weeks ago), would require me to find resources that clearly explained this type of diet and provided quick and easy recipes. So I started my research on the Forks Over Knives website, which introduced me to the world of plant-based eating and through the amazing list of resources provided I purchased several books including: Plant-Based Nutrition, Engine 2 Diet, Happy Herbivore Cookbooks, and The China Study. This website truly opened my eyes in ways that I will be forever grateful.
After my initial research, reading several books, and finding additional resources through the world of Facebook, (where I found another great resource ? Will Travel For Vegan Food) I decided to make the switch to a whole-food plant-based diet immediately and not gradually ? I went all in from day one. Personally, that approach is much easier for me than still keeping one foot in a lifestyle that I wanted to move away from. I have been vegan strong since June of this year and within that time I have lost 70 pounds, making my total weight loss 155 pounds since my journey began. Since adopting a whole-food plant-based diet I have reversed and eliminated all of my medical issues (Type 2 Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, etc) no longer experience feelings of exhaustion, have so much more energy than I know what to do with?LOL, as well as many more positive health results that my list literally could go on forever. Bottom line ? I feel absolutely amazing!
I?m truly blessed to have the opportunity to live a healthier lifestyle and will maintain a low-fat, whole-food plant-based diet the rest of my life. I?m so thankful for amazing resources like Will Travel For Vegan Food that provide excellent product and restaurant reviews as well as a community of support and encouragement! Now that I have graduated and have my free time back I am looking forward to spending more time with my family and friends, traveling around the world, mountain biking, and volunteering at various organizations.
