Why I Love Mick’s Office

Monday, August 31st, 2009

The other day I went to Mick’s Office for the first time in quite a while.  Boy what memories.  And what good burgers too.  I just love those chips or fries they serve.

When I was there I looked around and started remembering all the different reasons I love Mick’s Office.

The tables were bolted to the ground, which pleases me on many levels.  I don’t have to worry about impromptu large tables forming.  Even after a few too many, I will still be able to navigate myself to the bathroom.  Also I don’t have to put any sugar packs under the table to somewhat level it.  I would like to point out that is one of my pet peeves – sugar stabilized seating.

The food is announced over the intercom, even in the restrooms.  And as long as we are talking about the bathroom, the walls have more than enough reading material.  That is one thing I truly love about Mick’s Office is the controlled vandalism.  Why not let them carve and write all over the walls.  Each person is creating their own history at that place.

$4.50 for a double cheeseburger.  Don’t need to elaborate on that one.  Oh what, I like fried onions, which is an option I choose every time.

I should mention Mick’s only takes cash.  And the ATM is by the bathroom.  I kinda felt like I insulted them by attempting to pay with plastic.

You know how Coors Light has professional glossy signs printed with full color, NFL athletes and bikini girls for product advertisement?  Well that isn’t what I love, no it is the Boone’s Farm promotional sign.  It is faded, it has no graphics and was printed on an inkjet printer.

The photos of people partying in the bar behind a glass casing is a very nice touch.  What better what to enjoy a bar than to see photos of nights you can’t remember.

I also love the mix of clientel on a Friday afternoon at lunch time.  Men in suits, women in professional clothes, women wearing boxers playing darts and men with very dirty shirts with their name on a patch.

There is also three generations of TVs.  Looks like one was a little older judging by the wood grain design.  The other has plastic and the other is HD Wide.  People who understand the purpose of a TV how little their patrons care what they look like.  Does it carry the game?  Are your pitchers $3?  I will stay then.  Right here in this table that is bolted to the floor.

Jason Spiess is host of Night Time Live which airs from 7-10pm on KFGO AM on nights the Twins are not on.  Jason also hosts Man About Town which airs on Saturdays from 4-5pm on KFGO-AM.  Jason can be reached at jason@kfgo.com.   Jason can also be followed on Facebook.

Paulee’s Pulse for Saturday August 29th, 2009

Saturday, August 29th, 2009

GOING TOO FAR!

 

One of the nice things about the KFGO Studio is that we monitor the three major news networks, and I saw something on CNN that I found very disturbing.  There is a Southern Baptist Church in Tempe Arizona that was lead by Pastor Steven Anderson, and the graphic showed this Pastor, with the words, “I’m gonna pray he (Obama) dies and goes to hell.”  Obviously this got my attention.  This took place the day before President Barack Obama was in Arizona for a healthcare town hall meeting.  The reason that this Pastor was saying such a thing was because of President’s Pro-Choice view on abortion. So, let me get this straight, because President Obama is pro-choice, HE should DIE???  Ok, number one, President Obama, is NOT the one performing the abortions.  Number two, If you want someone to die, because of his views on abortion does not make sense.  Either way, it is ending a human life!  If you are trying to come across as someone who wants to be a humanitarian, you are totally contradicting yourself.  I don’t know if it is more of a racial thing, or what, but ending a life because of their views on pro-choice or pro-life is never an answer!  Finally, it is my opinion that a church (no matter the denomination), should not be a political pulpit!  Promoting one’s faith should be the reason for being in church.  If you want to do a rally promoting your opinion, I have no problem with that.  But if my pastor, or priest, started going off about something that is political, hate filled, or calling for someone to DIE, I would walk out.  There is a time, and place for such speeches, and church is not the time or place.  Another reason that this bugs me is because someone who attended this “service” showed up outside the Obama Town Hall Meeting with a gun!  I am sure that many of you who watch the news channels saw this person.  He had quite the heavy armor gun strapped to his back.  Are we becoming that divided as a nation?  I have talked in previous blogs, about this country becoming the Divided States of America.  This is showing me more and more how divided that we truly are.  I will say a special prayer for people who are following this Pastor, that they might see that taking someone’s life, due to hatred, is never they answer!

Group Request Separate Investigations into Packer’s Use of Imported Cattle

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

Billings, Mont. – Based on information received from R-CALF USA member-ranchers in Washington state, R-CALF USA on Monday, Aug. 24, 2009, made a written request to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to investigate a potential violation of USDA requirements for the importation into the U.S. of Canadian cattle. 

R-CALF USA was informed 405 Canadian feeder cattle that were permitted by the state of Washington to be fed in a dry feedlot at the Agri Beef Co.-owned El Oro Cattle Feeders feedlot in Moses Lake, Wash., were instead diverted to rangeland and found to be grazing near North Port, Wash., on the Three Rivers Ranger District in the Colville National Forest.  

The state of Washington required these imported Canadian cattle to be tested for brucellosis and/or bovine tuberculosis before leaving the dry feedlot, unless they were delivered for slaughter. However, R-CALF USA’s investigation revealed that the imported Canadian cattle were diverted without being tested, and these untested cattle have commingled with domestic cattle herds owned by Washington state ranchers.

As a result, the domestic cattle owned by area ranchers have been exposed to a potential risk of bovine tuberculosis and/or brucellosis.

In its request for investigation, R-CALF USA has asked USDA to investigate whether the imported Canadian cattle, which allegedly circumvented Washington state testing requirements, also had entered the United States under a health certificate that may have contained false or misleading information.

“Due to Canada’s ongoing problem with BSE (bovine spongiform encephalopathy), U.S. law requires the importer of Canadian cattle to disclose both the purpose for which the cattle are imported, as well as the destination where the cattle are to be moved after importation, and this information is to be included on the health certificate for ruminants that must accompany the imported cattle,” said R-CALF USA CEO Bill Bullard. 

“We want to determine if these imported cattle, which have now potentially exposed domestic cattle to an increased risk for disease, had circumvented not only the state of Washington testing law but the federal import law as well,” he emphasized.

In addition, on Tuesday, Aug. 25, 2009, R-CALF USA filed a separate written request for an investigation concerning this incident with the U.S. Department of Justice and USDA’s Grain Inspection Packers and Stockyards Administration (GIPSA).

In its request for investigation, R-CALF USA states that in addition to exposing domestic cattle to potential disease spread, it is the opinion of the group that imported Canadian cattle owned by Agri Beef Co. were not authorized to graze on the Three Rivers Ranger District in the Colville National Forest. 

R-CALF USA has asked Justice and GIPSA to determine if Agri Beef Co.’s use of these imported Canadian cattle constituted an unfair and deceptive practice under the Packers and Stockyards Act. 

“We believe the effect of Agri Beef Co.’s improper use of these imported Canadian cattle was to lower the company’s cost of cattle procurement and to reduce the demand for domestic cattle,” Bullard alleged.  “Given Agri Beef Co.’s market dominance in the Pacific Northwest, it is our opinion this is an example of a meatpacker engaging in unfair and deceptive practices that gives the company the ability to unfairly lower both the demand and price for domestic cattle raised by Washington state cattle ranchers.”    

R-CALF USA informed Justice and GIPSA there may be up to 26,000 imported Canadian cattle that were supposed to have been delivered to the El Oro Cattle Feeders feedlot since April 2009 and it asked the agencies to determine the disposition of these cattle as well.

“We are hopeful there is now sufficient information regarding these imported cattle to enable the agencies to determine the extent to which Agri Beef Co. may be using imported Canadian cattle to engage in anticompetitive practices and/or antitrust activities that are effectively lowering the value of domestic cattle in the Pacific Northwest,” Bullard said.

“U.S. cattle producers already face the prospect of lower cattle prices than they received last year and they can hardly withstand the adverse market effects of a meatpacker using unfair and deceptive practices to gain a pricing advantage in the marketplace,” he concluded. “We hope our federal agencies will get to the bottom of this as quickly as possible.”

BBB Urges Job Seekers to Employ Common Sense

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

– In these challenging times, job seekers are looking for any advantage they can get. The Better Business Bureau of Minnesota and North Dakota advises caution to those considering hiring a placement agency – or corporate headhunter – to find them a job. Though it appears the economy is starting to improve, there are still many people searching for a limited number of jobs, and the lean job market has affected even placement agencies. Before paying a company a significant amount of money to enhance your employment prospects, be sure to do the following:

• Find out what you’re paying for; what are the company’s job placement rates? How long will they work with you if you don’t find a job in a timely manner? What if they can’t find you employment – is there any kind of a money-back guarantee?
• Make sure you need the assistance of a job search firm. Many of these firms offer basic job-hunting tools, such as resume’ overhauling and interviewing techniques, which job seekers can often research on their own using library and internet resources.
• Ask yourself if your work history makes you a good executive candidate. Generally, companies only offer management positions to those with previous management experience. If you’ve just received your college degree you will probably want to seek an internship or an entry-level position on your own.
• Ask for references or names of some companies the placement agency has placed previous clients with. Follow up with calls to these companies to verify the relationship.
• Compare the company’s rates to other companies in the same industry.
• Contact the Better Business Bureau to obtain a Reliability Report on any company you are considering hiring. Visit our Website 24 hours a day at www.thefirstbbb.org or call 651-699-1111 or toll-free (in Minnesota) at 1-800-646-6222.

A Twin Cities job placement firm, Arthur Group Executive Search has come under scrutiny after clients alleged the company failed to secure job leads for them as promised in their agreement. BBB CEO Dana Badgerow says, “We became suspicious about the company after receiving a number of similar complaints against them. We had already placed the company’s Reliability Report on hold, making it inaccessible to people seeking information on them, and were in the process of reviewing their file when reports of problems became public.”

The Better Business Bureau has been in contact with Arthur Group Executive Search and they have stated they have closed their business.

Complaints against the company state their services resulted in neither jobs nor job interviews.

Some complainants allege the company failed to forward on their information to potential employers as promised. The company responded to complaints by saying they had provided services per the contact the customer signed and they did not guarantee employment. In some cases they offered refunds for services the customer had not yet received.

Arthur Group Executive Search also has testimonials from former clients on their website. The BBB followed up with some of these clients and found that at least in one case the client was unaware they were featured on the website — and they had not authorized the company to use any statement for promotional materials. Other clients stated that though they were pleased with some of the services they received, they ultimately did not find a job through their agreement with the company.

If you have a dispute with Arthur Group Executive Search you can file a complaint with the BBB and/or you may wish to seek legal advice.

The mission of the Better Business Bureau is to promote through self-regulation, the highest standards of business ethics and conduct; and to instill public confidence in responsible businesses through programs of education and action that inform, protect and assist the general public.  Contact the BBB at www.thefirstbbb.org or 651-699-1111, toll-free at 1-800-646-6222.

Dorgan Announces Research Corridor Conference in Fargo

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

U.S. Senator Byron Dorgan (D-N.D.) has announced the details of this year’s Red River Valley Research Corridor Conference: Milestones and Horizons.

The event will be held on Monday, Oct. 12, at Fargo’s Holiday Inn. Dorgan is co-organizing the Milestones and Horizons conference with the Red River Valley Research Corridor. The purpose will be to explore Research Corridor successes and future initiatives.

Keynote speakers and panel sessions will highlight cutting-edge research and development in North Dakota and around the nation. Top-notch presenters will include Honeywell Chairman and CEO David Cote and SETI Institute Research Director Dr. Jill Tarter.

“This event is a way for us to have a discussion on where we’ve been and where we’re going in the Red River Valley Research Corridor with some of the nation’s top innovators,” Dorgan said. “It’s also a way for us to build upon our successes of growing a high-tech future here in North Dakota.”

For more information or to register for Milestones and Horizons, visit www.milestonesandhorizons.com.

As a senior member of the U.S. Senate’s Appropriations Committee, Dorgan has worked vigorously to increase high-tech research and development in North Dakota. He has directed more than $586 million in federal investments to Research Corridor activities.

As a result, North Dakota has seen a huge boost in economic development. For example, a 2006 study by a NDSU researcher found that the Research Corridor had generated $759 million in positive economic impact and added 10,600 jobs to the regional economy since 2002.

In April 2009, the National Science Foundation released a report saying that North Dakota is the third fastest-growing state for federal research projects.

Older enlistment age opens new opportunities

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

A policy change has opened new opportunities for those interested in serving their state and nation. The Air National Guard now can accept enlistees up to age 40. Previously, the age limit was 34.

“This change offers a great opportunity for those who have wanted to serve their country but were prohibited based on their age,” said Master Sgt. Troy Krabbenhoft, recruiter with the 119th Wing, North Dakota Air National Guard. “People in their 30s are very capable of serving, and it’s exciting that the policy change now allows this. It will especially mean great things for our Minot squadron, where a lot of job opportunities remain available.”

The Air Guard activated the 219th Security Forces Squadron in Minot in October 2008, and is continuing to recruit to fill the many positions that opened with that addition. Once fully staffed, it will be the largest Air National Guard Security Forces Squadron in the nation. The squadron, which is co-located with active-duty Airmen on the Minot Air Force Base, provides Space Command with a reserve force capability for heightened operational requirements.

For more information about full-time and part-time Air National Guard openings, call 800-972-8825 or go to www.119wg.ang.af.mil/careers/.

Late Start for Corn Crop Doesn’t Stop Spread of Western Bean Cutworm

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

Pioneer agronomists confirm eastern spread of destructive insect, appearance in new areas

Late planting and a milder summer in many areas have impacted the spread of western bean cutworm (WBC), but only in the sense of delaying the emergence of this destructive pest.          

Recent trappings by university entomologists and field professionals from Pioneer Hi-Bred, a DuPont business, indicate the pest is moving eastward, with the heaviest infestations being reported in unprotected cornfields across northern Indiana, with some reports extending into Illinois and Ohio. Additional reports have confirmed the spread of WBC into central and northeastern areas of Michigan, areas new to WBC infestations.          

“Traditionally, we’ve seen the heaviest pressure from Nebraska to central Iowa, but now we’re seeing WBC continue to move eastward along the I-80 corridor,” says Paula Davis, Pioneer senior marketing manager for insect and disease control traits. “Most of the time the spread of WBC is complete by mid-August. This year it appears to be a little late, just like everything else.”          

WBC can reduce yields up to 40 percent in heavily infected fields. Young WBC larvae feed on tassels and silks, but eventually tunnel through the silk channel to reach developing kernels. Direct yield loss occurs as larvae consume all or parts of developing kernels. Because of the labor intensive nature of scouting, the critical timing needed for insecticide applications and the possibility that multiple treatments may be necessary, insecticides may not be an economical or effective solution to the WBC problem.         

Spraying is occurring as signs of increased populations surface, but spraying must take place before the insect moves into the ear where it is protected by the husk. The threshold is 5 percent of the plants with egg masses or small larvae in the tassel. With moth flights reaching peak levels and approaching completion, increased feeding can be expected.          

This makes it all the more important for growers to be prepared in advance. One of the most effective ways to be prepared is to get in-plant protection against WBC with Herculex® I and Herculex® XTRA insect protection traits, available in Pioneer® brand hybrids. Fields planted with Herculex I and Herculex XTRA traits have shown to be effectively protected against WBC, which can be critical as WBC expands its reach.         

“We really have seen certain insects starting to shift, and WBC is one of them,” says Davis. “This can be attributed to changing biotechnology developments, changing cropping practices and a changing environment. The key for growers is to know if there is a risk for WBC in their fields, and if so, they should monitor fields, contact their local agronomists and consider WBC-resistant hybrids.”          

If growers have concerns or suspect WBC infestation, they can contact their local Pioneer sales professional or agronomist for management information. Growers also can visit university monitoring Web sites for current trapping locations.       

In addition, insecticide products, such as DuPontTM Asana® XL, are available to assist in the fight against WBC and provide outstanding, longer-lasting control. With its unique cottonseed oil formulation, Asana XL resists washoff and provides superior UV stability, even under intense sunlight.          

Pioneer Hi-Bred, a DuPont business, is the world’s leading source of customized solutions for farmers, livestock producers and grain and oilseed processors. With headquarters in Des Moines, Iowa, Pioneer provides access to advanced plant genetics in nearly 70 countries.   

DuPont is a science-based products and services company. Founded in 1802, DuPont puts science to work by creating sustainable solutions essential to a better, safer, healthier life for people everywhere. Operating in more than 70 countries, DuPont offers a wide range of innovative products and services for markets including agriculture and food; building and construction; communications; and transportation.
