Jessica McHugh Interview
If you haven't encountered Jessica McHugh online, then you're missing out on a singular personality. Witty and offensive—to some—and brutally honest, she chronicles her daily life and her life as a writer constantly in search of inspirado.
She's more than a horror writer: she's written science fiction and YA series. A prolific short story writer, she spends her days and nights toiling away. Sometimes she writes at home, sometimes she writes in bars, she's always producing something well worth reading.
Can you remember the first time a book gripped you?
One of my favorite books since I was ten or so, "The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle" by Avi. It's a historical fiction novel about thirteen-year-old Charlotte Doyle voyaging from England to America in the early 1800s. There are storms, mutinies, and some pretty harrowing incidents that require Charlotte to abandon her upper-class sensibilities and woman-up big time. I'd never read anything quite like it at the time.
Is writing something you fell back on over the years or have you doggedly and single-mindedly pursued it from as far back as you can remember?
I've written for as long as I can remember. I have an essay from 4th grade about how much I wanted to be a writer, and I composed a lot of shitty poetry in high school. I wrote a screenplay and several one-acts in high school, but I didn't become obsessed with writing until I was nineteen, and I didn't pursue publication until I was twenty-four. Since then I've been writing non-stop and even got to leave my job to write full-time in 2013. I have several part-time jobs now, but a lot of them involve storytelling, so I've carved out a nice little frugal writing life for myself over the years.
Give me a brief day in the life of Jessica McHugh. When do you start writing? Shortly after you wake up or do you get to work later in the day?
It's changed a lot over the years. Recently I've been getting up at 8am and watching GMA with my husband over coffee. By 9am, I'm upstairs in my Writing Hut, which is just a second bedroom littered in my notebooks, and over the next several hours, I work on whichever projects I've deemed most important. I typically have three or four documents open at a time, which sucks because I loathe being at the computer. I'd much rather be curled up on a couch with a notebook, but…yeah, I basically live in front of the computer for hours, jumping back and forth as the inspirado strikes. But I also have dance breaks. Between noon and one, I break for exercise and food and/or start getting ready for one of my part-time jobs. If I don't have to leave the house, I typically work until my husband gets home, or I go out to a bar to write for a couple hours. After dinner and conversation with my husband, I'll often continue editing, though sluggishly, until bed. Oh, then I play Candy Crush Soda for waaaay too long.
Do you have any rituals you must perform when you're writing?
You know, I get this question a lot, and I really don't think I have any writing rituals except for taking a picture of myself wearing a cute hat when I finish a big project. I call it my Story Hat.
You often write in bars, usually while avoided curious drunks; are there advantages to running in those environments?
Beer and noise are huge advantages for me. Yes, I do encounter assholes, but I enjoy the happy hour bar scene for the most part. When I go out around 3pm it's fairly quiet, but even when it gets busy, most people are jolly and fun. Interruptions can be annoying, but I try my best to use my annoyance as creative fuel, even if I have to change projects briefly.
You write across genres, from horror to sci-fi to YA. Does this cross-pollination, so to speak, say something about the real Jessica McHugh?
Perhaps so! I feel like I have eclectic tastes as a consumer, so the desire to explore multiple genres in my own work comes very naturally. I also write with my mood and real life inspirado, so I don't always know what genre or voice is going to come out until I've finished. The first A Story A Week challenge I did in 2014 gave me the opportunity to dive into even more new genres, voices, and POVs, so if anyone's interested in branching out I highly recommend that challenge.
Who are some writers and books—or even directors and films—that have influenced you?
I could go on for days about the incredible influence both author Roald Dahl and the film "True Romance" have had on my life. The latter, in particular, feels like my writing career with all the genre mashups, blood and heart. I would be remiss not to mention David Lynch as well. I am so inspired by all of his art. My novel "The Train Derails in Boston" wouldn't have been as lovely if I hadn't been watching Twin Peaks for the first time during the first draft. Anne Rice also influenced me in a huge way. I feel like a lot of my earlier work, before I found my own voice, sounded a lot like Anne Rice…except for the whole badass world-building talent thing.
You're known for your colorful curse words. Can you spit out a string of McHugisms for me?
Jesusfuckballs. Are you sure your radtacular glitterclit followers want my smegwebbed nonsense gumming up their goggles with McHughniverse asspus and cuntshartery?
What initially drew you to horror?
The curse words.
Even today, horror is still male-dominated. We're seeing some progress, I think, but not enough. What do think we can do to shatter the male dominance of the genre?
I really wish I had an answer. As a female writer with, like, 80% other female writers on my social media accounts, I feel like the luckiest reader in the world. I have the best of the best of the genre, a lot of them small press, at my fingertips. I'm surrounded by insanely talented women in horror all the time. But most people don't have that. They stick to what they know. Usually that one white dude they've been reading since 7th grade. And hey, that one white dude is super great. I love that one white dude myself. But if you don't seek out new authors, you're really missing out. Reading anthologies is a great way to experience a bunch of different styles and voices without going all-in on a novel, and there are a lot of anthologies out there spotlighting women, but I don't know many people who actually do that–except other writers. I think people need to make the effort to read new authors, and women need to be loud and proud about what they do. Most female horror authors I know are, though, so I don't know. I wouldn't want them to fuck me up in fiction, that's for sure.
What can women bring to the genre that men can't? Or is this question just a silly binary way of thinking?
Damn, I wish I were answering this question in person. It's a tough one. I need my gestures and stupid joker smile.
I guess stories about women are what women can bring to the genre. Especially stories about women of color, trans women, handicapable women, ie real women. There's no shortage of stories out there. Because I do believe there are some emotions and topics women are more naturally adept at conceptualizing in art. And there are things men are naturally better at conceptualizing in art. Of course, writers who immerse themselves in the culture/topic and really do their research can learn to write anything, but we do need more stories exploring the horrifying beauty of being female.
What advice would you give little girls or women thinking about leaping into the horror genre?
I did a keynote speech for the Scholastic Writing Awards about being a young girl writing horror, and I gave all the kids this advice, but I want to emphasize it for girls and women. If you want to be gory, be gory. Writing horror is such valuable tool for coping with the complicated and sometimes gruesome truths of humanity–other people's and our own–and you should never censor yourself because it's not "ladylike." If you enjoy slitting fictional throats, I say splatter that page, dahling.

Candy Spelling Named Vice Chair Of American Humane Association's Board Of Directors
National Humanitarian Award winner, First Lady of Television, bestselling author, and Broadway producer Candy Spelling has been named vice chair of the board of directors at American Humane Association, the country's first national humane organization and the only one dedicated to protecting both children and animals.
Ms. Spelling has served on American Humane Association's board since 2012 and in this new role she will help guide the work and policies of an institution that has been the leading voice in the humane movement since its founding in 1877. For her compassion in helping the nation's children and animals, Ms. Spelling was honored in 2012 with the National Humanitarian Medal, American Humane Association's highest honor.
"I am honored to serve in this new role for American Humane Association," said Ms. Spelling. "I have always worked to support children's and animal issues and am proud to be part of this historic organization, which for 138 years has championed the cause of the most vulnerable."
Ms. Spelling's efforts on behalf of children and animals are well-known. She has worked with many organizations to assist needy children and their families, volunteered with animal rescue and shelter groups, is a judge for the American Humane Association Hero Dog Awards, and even enlisted the help of her own dog, Madison Spelling, who chaired a fund-raising event, "Bark for the Cure," to benefit research into canine cancer. She was named "Ambassador for Tourism" for Los Angeles, joining Tom Hanks, Kobe Bryant and others representing the city for tourism. She was invited to join the Board of Directors for LA INC., the Los Angeles Convention and Visitors Bureau. Ms. Spelling also became a board member of the Los Angeles World Affairs Council. She is a founding board member of the Los Angeles Parks Commission and was instrumental in creating the first non-profit Parks Foundation in Los Angeles. She is a Commissioner Emeritus for the Board of Recreation and Parks for the City of Los Angeles, an active panel overseeing hundreds of public parks and recreational areas serving millions of people who annually visit the public areas. She is an active Board of Governors Member of LA's Best, the after-school enrichment program that serves children in need through the city in partnership with the Los Angeles Unified School District, the City of Los Angeles and the private sector.
Ms. Spelling has attained great success with her Tony Award-winning Broadway play, Promises, Promises, starring Kristen Chenoweth, and her Broadway hits, How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, Nice Work if You Can Get It, starring Tony Award winner Matthew Broderick and last year's critically acclaimed After Midnight. She is a producer of the upcoming Color Purple revival opening on Broadway in December 2015. She has gained widespread acclaim for her New York Times best-selling book, Stories from Candyland, and her record-breaking two-part series on HGTV, Selling Spelling Manor, Candy's insider tour of her famous 56-room Hollywood mansion that she and husband, television mogul Aaron Spelling, built and lived in for more than 20 years.
"Candy Spelling's experience, commitment, and lifetime of achievement in helping children and animals make her a powerful voice for the voiceless," said American Humane Association President and CEO Dr. Robin Ganzert. "We thank her for accepting this vitally important new role, which will benefit those in greatest need and help create a more humane world for all of us."

KaTsZoNe - Issue 72 - Hello New Decade!
KaTsZoNe Newsletters > KaTsZoNe - Issue 72 - Hello New Decade!
Happy New Year everyone! Welcome to the 72nd episode of KaTsZoNe and the beginning of a new decade!
At the threshold of 2011, I am trying to be optimistic, hoping that the hard times in the past will prepare me for anything in the future, hoping that I will be in better health than in the past, hoping that I will be loved and to loved more, wanting to lose a few pounds, dreaming that my bank account/investments will grow rather than diminish, desiring to have more meaningful work/career -- and then, I realize, am I so different from everyone else?
What do I want to do with my life? Where do I want to be next year? What about my long term dreams and goals? At the start of each new year, I ponder and wonder, and then ask myself, why bother having dreams and goals? New Year's resolutions become history within a month anyway.
One thing I do know is, for starters, I wanted to get January's KaTsZoNe out to you. So, writing KaTsZoNe is still my priority. Next thing, well, I think I want to change my ringtone -- lol. Lady Gaga's "Poker Face" is getting old. Wonder if Ke$ha's "The Harold Song" would be a good ringtone - I'm really hooked on that song now!
One of the things that keep humans human is having hopes and dreams. If we lose hope and not have dreams, we wither a lot faster than the rest -- in my opinion. We need to keep going by hoping and dreaming, no matter what it might be. For myself, what keeps me going is new experiences and adventures. Since high school and my early 20s, I wanted to write. At first, it was short stories. But, I thought that in order to write interesting stories, I would have to gain different experiences in life, otherwise, I'd write pretty boring stories! And then, I wanted to writing inspiring non-fiction. Then, in December 2004, I started writing KaTsZoNe newsletters, which was a vehicle to inspire, encourage and inform! I fed readers with lots of stuff -- fun, informative, and always honest. But, imagine if I just went to work and came home to sleep and told you that in each episode. Would you still be reading KaTsZoNe today?
At the beginning of 2011, I want to thank you once again for all the feedback you have given me in the past several years. I appreciate your comments and especially appreciate you being with me and understanding the road I am on. Many times, some of you are walking down a similar road as me. We have shared similar experiences and find comfort that someone else knows and understands. I believe that if we can help others based on our own experiences, that it is as valuable or more valuable than giving money. Don't get me wrong, money is a good gift -- if it can help others. I still aspire to be a philanthropist when I grow up. I am stil working at it -- at being a philanthropist and at growing up!
After several holiday parties, shopping and wrapping Christmas gifts, getting together with friends, getting really sick just before the holidays, all in December, all I can say is, I can't wait to get back to work in January so I can recover from exhaustion! I go through this every year, but, I still enjoy it all (except getting sick)! Hope all of you have also enjoyed the holiday season with family and friends.
In January, I am looking forward to the North American International Motorcycle Supershow which I have attended with Larry for the past 3 years. I have also added the Canadian Auto Show (in February), the PDAC Conference and Trade Show (in March), and Canadian Music Week (in March) to my calendar on my website at http://www.katszone.com/page/page/6673173.htm so be sure to check it from time to time. I will be adding more events as the year progresses. If you have similar interests, let me know and perhaps I can meet up with you at an event!
February 3rd is Chinese New Year - the Year of the Metal Rabbit. I will create a new section called "Year of the Rabbit" which will reveal characteristics of a Rabbit and bring you some predictions for the new year!
If you have some new year's resolutions to share, feel free to reply to this email or to post your comments on my website at http://www.katszone.com/comments.html.
I wish you and yours good health, happiness and prosperity. All the best in 2011!

Karnosin är en neuropeptid som förekommer rikligt i muskel- och hjärnvävnad. Substansen upptäcktes av den ryske kemisten V. Gulevich år 1900.

Egenskaper
Forskare i Storbritannien, Sydkorea och Ryssland m.fl. länder har visat att karnosin har ett antal antioxidanta egenskaper som kan vara till nytta för metabolismen. Karnosin har visat sig eliminera reaktiva syreenheter (ROS), såväl som alfa-beta-omättade aldehyder bildade av proxidation av fettsyror i cellmembran under oxidativ stress.

Karnnosin kan motverka glykation och kan kelatera divalenta metalljoner och därmed motverka kronisk glykolys som befaras accelerera åldrandet.

Karosin har också befunnits hämma diabetesnefropati genom att skydda podocyter och mesagialceller.

På grund av dessa egenskaper har intag av karnosin föreslagits som en allmän behandling för att motverka åldrande.

I djurförsök har karnosin visat sig hämma cancertillväxt och skydda mot alkoholinducerad oxidativ stress, liksom mot etanolinducerad kronisk leverskada. Karnocin är också nervskyddande mot permanent cerebral ischemi hos möss.

Diana Gilson, 2017 Flagler County Artist of the Year, draws inspiration from decades of sailing around the world
Get to know the artist and her travels.
by: Paige Wilson Community Editor
While sailing many places around the world for 30 years with her husband, Diana Gilson filled up stacks of sketchbooks with landscapes, seascapes and colors that reflected the cultures and scenes she saw during her travels.
"When I'd finish, I'd think, 'Someday I'm going to blow that up (on canvases), and it's going to be big,'" she said.
Her colorful paintings now cover the walls in a studio room in artist J.J. Graham's Salvo Art Project in Bunnell, as well as in her home studio in Palm Coast. Her work has made such an impact on the county since she moved here in 2000 that she has been named the Gargiulo Art Foundation's 2017 Flagler County Artist of the Year.
After moving here, Gilson took lessons at the Daytona Beach Art League with Peter Cerreta, who received the inaugural Flagler County Artist of the Year award in 2000. She joined the Gargiulo Art Foundation about 10 years ago and has continued her passion ever since.
Gilson said she initially struggled a bit in Cerreta's class. She knew what she wanted to do, but she had a hard time getting everything onto the big canvas, she said. One day she had some leftover paint and fooled around to add figures on the canvas. But when Cerreta praised the spur-of-the-moment creation, it led Gilson to paint figures for about five years.
Once Gilson had said all she had to say through figures, she started creating abstract art with acrylics and some featuring pastels and chalks. Her focus now is abstract expressionism, where there are no recognizable figures, objects or scenes on the canvas.
Diana Gilson's love of color is shown in her abstract expressionism pieces, like this one in her studio at Salvo Art Project. Photo by Paige Wilson
"Abstract is very hard to get moving because you have to have a structure underneath," she said. "You can't just put your colors on, you have to have some sort of understructure. … There's something that's holding everything together."
Gilson said abstract expressionism can be exhausting — mentally and physically. As she draws lines and adds colors, she lets her emotions takeover, using her entire body to create each stroke on the canvas.
"It's not a landscape, it's not a still life, it's not a cityscape; it's just what you want to see in it," Gilson said.
A lifetime of inspiration
Gilson remembers watching her mother paint during her childhood. She said that she was a great colorist.
"My earliest memory was she had this box, and it had little squares and colors in it," Gilson said. "And she took this brush and she put it into water, then she put it into that square of orange and then she put it on the paper, and the orange went onto the paper, and I thought, 'How did she do that? That's so wonderful.' I just couldn't understand the process, but I was fascinated by the color."
While attending the University of California at Berkeley, Gilson learned to teach Spanish and French. After graduating in 1967, her work took her to France. In the early 1970s, Gilson spent her weekends as a street painter in Paris.
"I remember, one day, I sold a painting to some woman," Gilson said. "She was so elegant; she has a mink stole on and a fur hat, and I was thinking 'Oh my goodness, how lovely.'"
After the woman bought a small abstract piece from Gilson to hang in her house in the Bahamas, a few of the French street artists came over and informed her the woman was Claudette Colbert, the famous film actress.
Gilson met her husband, Bud, in 1976, and they began their journey around the world.
"He invited us to cross the Atlantic with him, and after I crossed the Atlantic, I thought, 'That's the man I want to spend the rest of my life with,'" she said.

As part of winning Artist of the Year, Gilson is featured in a solo exhibit that will run through March 6 at the Flagler County Art League. The gallery is located at 160 Cypress Point Parkway, Suite C207. Call 986-4668, and visit flaglercountyartleague.org.

In 2004, I was managing a number of growth stock portfolios when a broker called me and my co-manager to say one of his firm's better analysts was beginning to recommend Monsanto (MON).
The story was simple, but powerful. The "old" Monsanto, a chemicals conglomerate, had broken itself up into three parts: pharmaceuticals, agricultural chemicals and basic chemicals. The agricultural chemicals business retained the Monsanto name.
The attraction of the "new" MON was its dominant position in genetically engineered seeds. This business looked as if it could grow in a number of different directions–new products, new variants of existing products, new geographical areas–at a very rapid rate (20%+ annually) for, say, ten years. The stock was not well-known. Its virtues had been obscured while it was part of the bigger entity. It was also cheap. And growth investors like us were just beginning to find out about it. In other words, this was a classic, open-ended, growth stock situation.
MON did have some warts. The conglomerate's top management, which went with the pharma business, attempted to insulate itself from potential environmental cleanup claims in the basic chemicals business by structuring the breakup so liability would fall on MON before them. Also, MON's main moneymaker, Roundup (glyphosate), had gone off patent and was being attacked by generics.
My colleague and I researched the stock for a couple of weeks–really learning the company would take a year or more of steady work, though–and bought the stock at about $19 a share (I've adjusted the price for a subsequent 2/1 split).
MON quickly rose to $22, as more growth stock investors established positions. At this point, my co-manager, a value investor at heart, decided that we should sell. Her reasoning was that we had a 16% profit, that the stock was now overvalued, and that we could consider repurchasing it when it fell to $20–as it surely would.
I was strongly opposed to selling, given that I thought the stock could double or triple, so we did nothing.
(By the way, this kind of short-term trading maneuver, which depends on the other guy being the "dumb money" who will allow you to repurchase at a lower price, invariably backfires with growth stocks. The seller ends up either having to repurchase at a much higher price, or misses out altogether on the bulk of the stock move.
The stock did drop to $21 but then immediately reversed course and rose to $30. At that point, my co-manager and I had a more emphatic version of the $22 discussion, but we did nothing.
Some months later, MON had risen to $52-$53, as the company announced a steady stream of good operating news. I had just about convinced myself that as a stock MON had achieved almost all the outperformance it was going to, when I was visited by a health care analyst who was relatively new to our firm.
He was beginning to look into MON, which he considered to be substantially undervalued (remember, the stock had almost tripled in less than two years). By this time, MON was talking about seeds that would produce plants that would not only resist insects or drought, but would also contain extra amounts of healthy substances, like omega-3 fatty acids. Relative to drug stocks–other companies with important patents and earnings that don't ebb and flow with the overall business cycle–MON's earnings looked really good to him. And, again relative to other health care-related issues, the stock didn't look expensive.
The new analyst thought MON could reach $70. I wasn't convinced, even though I knew the analyst was a careful researcher and had good judgment. Maybe I was also looking in the rear-view mirror at the profit MON had made for my clients. In any event, I sold the stock.
If you're looking at a chart of MON, you know what happened next. The stock went to $70. Then, in a market worried about the business cycle–and therefore more favorably disposed to earnings not dependent on it–Congress passed biofuel legislation encouraging farmers to grow more corn. That's MON's main crop. The stock doubled again, to $140.
1. In my experience, the bulk of a growth stock investor's outperformance comes from a relatively small number of stocks that he holds for a long period of time. He holds a portfolio that's much larger than that because, at least early in the game, he doesn't know which ones they will be. And he needs to develop new holdings to replace stocks that have matured, or that have never lived up to their potential.
Selling to realize a small short-term profit is one of the most foolish things one can do. In addition, for a professional it's very hard to explain to a client why you're buying back at $28 a stock you sold a few weeks earlier at $22. And of course, cognitive dissonance may kick in and stop you from buying back at all.
2. It pays to take out a clean sheet of paper every once in a while and reexamine one's strategy, and preconceptions, about a stock. I should have done this when I heard a skilled colleague's argument for undervaluation.
2a. Although I'm not sure it's true in this case, good growth companies have a way of reinventing themselves when their initial growth thrust is over. MSFT, for example, initially sold PC operating systems, then spreadsheets, then the Windows interface, then the Office suite. Each iteration in the reinvention process gives new life to earnings growth and lengthens the period of superior stock market performance. In the best (though rare) cases, the company can sustain rapid eps growth for well over a decade.
3. Growth stocks can become significantly overvalued. When the story is well-known, the stock is a market darling and everyone owns it, the pe multiple can be stretched way above the growth rate. This happened with MON during its biofuel speculative period. On the one hand, behavior like this is a strong sell signal. On the other, one should probably save some stock for sale during a period like this.

People wanting to have their say on Vehicle Licensing Reform have one week left to make a submission before the 31 October deadline, says Associate Transport Minister Simon Bridges.
"The Government wants to find simpler and more efficient ways to run these systems while still keeping vehicles and roads safe," says Mr Bridges.
"To date, nearly 2500 submissions have been made showing a high level of public interest in this project. In general, people have welcomed the opportunity to relook at these licensing systems.
"I appreciate the time and effort people are putting into their submissions."
The Ministry of Transport and the NZ Transport Agency have also commissioned independent research about people's attitudes to warrant of fitness inspections, vehicle maintenance and safety, and annual vehicle licensing.
"This research will add to the information we get through the public submissions process and help us understand how New Zealanders respond to our current vehicle licensing systems and maintain their vehicles. This will add a deeper and more robust picture to help decision making," says Mr Bridges.
This research and a summary of submissions will be released at a later date.

Q: localizable.strings - works in simulator but not on device I have a problem with my language. I only see the ID_String on my device for each entry defined with NSLocalizedString. All text/images etc. set in the storyborad are shown correctly. If I use the  simulator everything is fine!
So, I would like to youse NSLocalizedString - to use the option to translate my app maybe later. At this time my app is in german only.

*

*I use storybord option. In the options I set the Localization to Germany

*I add a string file to my project, also with the german localization

*all lines in this file looks like "OK_Button" = "OK";

In my project folder there is an de.lproj folder including the storybord, InfoPlist.strings and localizable.strings
The two stings are saved as UTF16. I open these files in TextWrangler and savend them again.
I search since a few days for the reason, but I dont see my problem.
Have anyone an idear whats wrong, or whats missing in my code?

A: One reason that something works on the simulator, but not on the device is that Max OS X uses case-insensitive file systems by default, but iOS uses a case-sensitive file system. Check to make sure that your case for the filename is "Localizable.strings".

A: Another reason for the problem could be that there is a Localizable.strings file in Base.lproj directory. It causes the iPhone to use the Base translation file instead of the correct translation file.
see: Creating Strings Files for User-Facing Text in Your Code

A: If the solutions above don't work for you, the problem may be related to your 'Edit schema' and it's Run Language.  That's why your device opens a different language than it's supposed to.
Open your Edit Schema

*

*Pick the 'Run' card on the left-hand side menu

*Find the 'Options' tab on the left-hand side and pick 'App Language'

*Make sure that you picked 'System Language'

Even though my device had installed language supported by my app, my edit schema sent a different one. That's why it opened the English version, which was the default one.

Planting Intentions
According to USDA's National Agriculture Statistics Service, U.S. peanut growers intend to plant 1,751,000 acres this year, up 5 percent from last year's 1,671,000 acres. The expected increase is largely driven by expectations of higher contract prices.
Georgia is expected to increase acreage by 9 percent or 785,000 acres, but is slightly less than some in the industry had predicted at 10 to 15 percent.
Scott Monfort, University of Georgia Extension peanut agronomist, says, "We typically grow in the neighborhood of 500,000 to 600,000 acres, and that's where we need to be. But with the positive price the way it is, and overall marketplace, growers are trying to make a profit. That's why we're growing as many as we are."
Continued Short Rotations
Increased acreage also means a continuation of shortened crop rotations. Monfort estimates that about 20 percent of the peanuts will be produced under a shortened rotation.
"Peanuts have to be grown on a longer rotation — three to four years between peanut crops — to effectively minimize disease and insect pressure," he says.
Alabama and Florida are predicted to increase 9 percent and 10 percent, respectively. Florida had reduced acreage 30 percent the previous year, but is now predicted to be back up to an estimated 170,000 acres. Alabama is predicted to increase from 175,000 acres to 190,000 acres.
South Carolina is predicted to increase 23 percent to 135,000 acres, a new record.
The largest decline in acreage is in Texas, down 30 percent to 240,000 acres. Last year, a considerable number of acres were planted to receive the Price Loss Coverage payment, but with higher prices, that practice is not likely in 2017. Other states expect small increases.
Growers intend to plant 12.2 million acres in 2017, up 21 percent from last year. If realized, this will be the highest planted acreage since 2012. Upland area is expected to total 12.0 million acres, up 21 percent from 2016. American Pima area is expected to total 232,000 acres, up 19 percent from 2016. Expectations of higher cotton prices in 2017 are driving the acreage increase throughout the Cotton Belt.
Growers in all states, except Florida, are expected to increase planted acreage from last year. Oklahoma Upland planted area is expected to be the highest since 1982. Alabama, Mississippi, New Mexico and Texas Upland planted area is expected to be the highest since 2011.
Corn planted area for all purposes in 2017 is estimated at 90.0 million acres, down 4 percent or 4.0 million acres from last year. Compared with last year, planted acreage is expected down or unchanged in 38 of the 48 states.
Soybean planted area for 2017 is estimated at a record high of 89.5 million acres, up 7 percent from last year.

Claudio Sgroi To Step Down As Mombacho Cigars Master Blender
March 30, 2021 Press Release
Cigar Scene
Sgroi leaves the role of Master Blender after ten years and will no longer be an active partner of the company as of April 1st, 2021.
Accomplished tobacco consultant Claudio Sgroi announced that he will step down from Mombacho Cigars, where he served from 2012 to 2016 as Master Blender and Director of Operations, and 2016 to 2021 as Master Blender and President.
In a message to staff at Casa Favilli on Monday, Sgroi, 44, said he would focus his time and energy on his family and other professional ventures, including his role as President of the Nicaraguan Tobacco Chamber (CNT) and expanding his global reach in the industry by partnering with leading and up-and-coming brands.
Claudio Sgroi joined Mombacho Cigars as a consultant in 2011 with the goal of creating a global cigar brand. "In the past decade I worked tirelessly to build assets for future growth," Sgroi stated. His achievements at the company include new vitolas, new blends, new quality control systems, expanded sales to more than twelve countries, enhanced relationships with the best tobacco growers in Nicaragua, and a state-of-the-art factory, Casa Favilli. Sgroi also joined the Nicaraguan Tobacco Chamber, and in January of 2020 was elected president. He now leads the board and all member activities, as well as oversees the organization of the "Puro Sabor" cigar festival and other endeavors.
Sgroi relocated to Granada in 2012 and lived there for nearly five years. During that time, he developed the internationally acclaimed Liga Maestro blend, the Mombacho 10th Anniversary Magnifico, the Casa Favilli line, and the Cosecha Series, today's most collectable Nicaraguan puro using single vintage tobaccos from selective crops. With a vision to create the most beautiful and authentic Nicaraguan cigar factory, Sgroi discovered and led the renovation of Casa Favilli, a colonial mansion classified as a historical monument in Granada, Nicaragua, which today serves as the Mombacho Cigars factory.
"I am excited and looking forward to dedicating more time to the Nicaraguan Tobacco Chamber, as I have a deep responsibility to represent the leading manufacturers in the world," Sgroi added. "The members of the chamber are making the highest quality cigars available today." The CNT includes 26 members representing 95 percent of exported cigars and tobacco from Nicaragua. The chamber also hosts the world famous "Puro Sabor" cigar festival, which takes place annually in Nicaragua and attracts a global audience eager to taste and experience Nicaraguan cigars and culture.

"There were also discrepancies between things NORAD was telling us about their performance on the morning of September 11—things that the agency had stated publicly after 9/11—and the story told by the limited tapes and documents the commission had received…. These were puzzling and disturbing developments, and they account in part for some of the more bizarre and inaccurate conspiracy theories about 9/11."
"To some extent, the concept of the report as a narrative history influenced the recruitment of staff. Here were many other constraints. The urgent reporting deadline made it advantageous if a potential member of the staff already had high-level security clearances. (Zelikow had them as a member of the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board. I had them as a member of the Intelligence Science Board.) That meant preference for people who could be detailed from national security agencies or who had been on the staff of one of the congressional intelligence oversight committees. Of the fifty-odd men and women who counted as professional rather than administrative staff, at least half had such backgrounds."
"And no language appeared anywhere in the final text unless Zelikow or I or both of us—and all the commissioners—had accepted it."
"A reader of the commission report should bear in mind that its documentary base was extraordinarily deep but also extraordinarily narrow"
"We never had full confidence in the interrogation reports as historical sources…. I think the commission could have successfully challenged the CIA on both access to detainees and release of names, but it chose not to fight these battles."
"Third, and most troubling to me, the report is probably too balanced. Its harshest criticism is directed at institutions and procedures, particularly the CIA, the FBI, and communications links within the counterterrorist community. But many of the staff had worked in these or other national security agencies. They felt loyal to them and some of them expected to return to work there. Collective drafting led to the introduction of passages that offset criticism of an agency with words of praise. Not all these words were deserved."

Like 9/11 Family Member, and "Jersey Girl" Patty Casazza said with regards to Bush being their "biggest adversary", even Kean and Hamilton agree that, "the chief obstacle was the White House, which argued that the congressional inquiry was continuing, and that an independent investigation would distract the government from waging the ongoing war on terrorism."
"Several commissioners had concerns about the kind of inquiry he (Philip Zelikow) would lead", and sure enough, their fears were justified. Just as they were for the families that called for his resignation at the time of the 9/11 Commission.
I could write so many snippets from this.

I think it's important to read some of the euphemisms as supportive of our cause. For example, when Ernest May says the documentary evidence for the report was "extraordinarily deep" but also "extraordinarily narrow," that's another way of saying, "We simply ignored a wealth of evidence, but looked intensely at the evidence deemed okay to discuss."
I also wonder if Dennis Hastert's opposition had anything to do with Sibel Edmonds' allegations about him?
