text: Deoxyribonucleic Acid, or DNA, tells our cells how to build the proteins and tissues that make our bodies. Exploring the details of this chemical code, scientists gain insight into how organisms function and how they are related to one another. In this demonstration, we'll explore the relationship between DNA and and the idea of race. Does DNA determine skin color? What's the relationship between skin color and what we think of as race? Are there any biological or genetic markers that define race? Through a process of chemical extraction, you will get the chance to extract and look at your own DNA! These 20-30 minute interactive programs take place on the 2nd floor of the U-M Museum of Natural History. They include both brief presentations highlighting university research and engaging hands-on activities. They are suitable for adults and children, ages 5 and up.

Arrhythmias may be identified during routine health check-ups, during testing after symptoms have appeared, or during an evaluation of heart health.
The most common method of checking the heart's electrical activity is with an ECG. A healthy heart with normal rhythms will create a specific pattern on the ECG. Abnormal rhythms of the heart will change the appearance of this pattern. Changes in certain areas of the ECG pattern will also show what specific areas of the heart are affected or damaged.
Heart Monitoring
Some arrhythmias may only appear when the heart is working hard. An exercise stress test is an ECG during physical activity. The test is used to look for an appropriate response to exercise, appearance of abnormal rhythms or events during activity, and ability for heart to recover after activity. People who cannot exercise may be given IV medication that simulates the effects of physical exertion on the heart.
Most arrhythmias are not constant. They may not occur during testing in a care center. Your doctor may recommend a portable device that will monitor your heart rhythm over a long period of time during everyday activities. Portable heart monitoring can be done with:
- Holter monitor —A small machine is belted around your waist and will record your heart rhythm over a period of 24 hours or more.
- Transtelephonic monitoring —Instead of a Holter monitor, you may take home a device that allows you to send your ECG recording over the telephone at the moment you feel symptoms of an arrhythmia.
- Implantable loop recorder —If a longer period of recording is necessary, a small rectangular recording device may be surgically implanted underneath the skin of the chest. If the ECG-like information recorded falls within certain normal limits, the device erases the data. Abnormal heart rhythms are retained until your doctor retrieves the information.
Tests to Look for Causes
If you are diagnosed with an arrhythmia, your doctor may want other tests to help determine if there is an underlying cause. This may include imaging tests, which can evaluate your heart, blood vessels, and surrounding structures for any loss of function or damage. Imaging tests may include:
- Cardiac catheterization and coronary angiography —To help detect obstruction in the arteries of heart and assess heart function.
- Chest x-ray —To look for heart enlargement or congestion in the lungs.
- Nuclear scanning —To visualize the blood supply to the heart. Areas with poor blood supply can potentially generate abnormal rhythms.
- CT and MRI angiography —To highlight blood vessels and see where blockage occurs.
- Echocardiogram —Ultrasound is used to evaluate the size, shape, and motion of the heart. A more specialized version uses the Doppler effect to visualize blood flow.
Other tests to look for potential causes or contributing factors include:
- Blood and urine tests —To evaluate your overall health, and fluid and electrolyte levels. These tests can also detect problems with your kidneys or liver.
- Tilt table testing —This test is usually ordered for people with fainting episodes. Your heart rate and blood pressure are closely monitored while you are first lying flat on a table and then when the table is tilted. It may help determine the cause of your fainting.
- Electrophysiologic testing —This is an invasive test that is generally reserved for complex rhythm disturbances or to assess treatment. The test is done by passing an electrode through the blood vessels to the heart. The electrode can provide information on electrical activity of the heart and the spread of electrical impulses through the heart. It may also be used during invasive procedures to guide treatment to help manage heart problems.

Splenectomy is the surgical removal of the spleen. The spleen is an organ in the upper left part of the abdomen. It is beneath the ribs and behind the stomach. The spleen filters blood to remove bacteria, parasites, and other organisms that can cause infection. It removes old and damaged blood cells. It can also produce red blood cells and certain types of white blood cells.
Reasons for Procedure
You may need to be treated by having a splenectomy if you have:
- Trauma to the spleen
- Splenic rupture due to tumor, infection, inflammatory condition, or medications
- Enlargement of the spleen—splenomegaly
- Certain
blood disorders when other treatments are not working, including:
- Sickle cell anemia
- Idiopathic thrombocytopenia purpura
- Hereditary spherocytosis
- Thalassemia
- Hemolytic anemia
- Hereditary elliptocytosis
- Some types of leukemia or lymphoma
- Tumor or abscess in the spleen
- Liver disease—cirrhosis
- Abnormal formation of fibrous tissue in the bone marrow
- Damage in the blood vessels of the spleen
- Diseased spleen, due to disorders like HIV infection
Possible Complications
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
- Infection
- Bleeding
- Hernia formation at incision site
- Blood clots
- Damage to other organs
Factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
- Obesity
- Diabetes
- Smoking
- Poor nutrition
- Recent or chronic illness
- Advanced age
- Heart or lung disease
- Bleeding or clotting disorders
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Your doctor may do the following:
- Physical exam
- Blood and urine tests
- Review of your current medications
- Other tests to evaluate the cause of the spleen enlargement
- Studies to determine rate of destruction of red blood cells and/or platelets
Imaging tests to evaluate the abdomen and spleen may include:
Without your spleen, you will be more susceptible to certain infections. You may get vaccines against infections, which may include:
- Pneumococcal vaccine
- Meningococcal vaccine
- Flu vaccine yearly
- Hemophilus vaccine
Talk to your doctor about your medications. You may be asked to stop taking some medications up to one week before the procedure.
General anesthesia will be used. You will be asleep during the procedure.
Description of Procedure
The spleen can be removed through an open incision or through laparoscopic surgery.
An incision will be made in the abdomen over the spleen. The skin and muscles will be pulled back. The blood vessels to and around the spleen will be tied off. This will free the organ. Moist sponges may be placed in the abdomen. The sponges will absorb some of the blood and fluid. The spleen will be removed. If needed, further surgery may be done at this time to repair other organs. The sponges will then be removed.
The wound will be cleaned. The muscles and skin will be closed with stitches or staples. A gauze dressing will be placed over the wound.
A small incision will be made in the abdomen. A laparoscope will be inserted through the incision. The laparoscope is a thin, lighted tube with a small camera on the end. It allows the doctor to see inside your body. Carbon dioxide gas will be passed into the abdomen. This inflates the abdomen and creates more room to work.
Two or three more small incisions will be made in the abdomen. Special tools will be inserted through these incisions. Blood vessels to the spleen will be cut and tied off. The spleen will then be rotated and removed. If the spleen has been ruptured, the abdomen is checked for any other injured organs or blood vessels. If needed, further surgery may be done at this time. The incisions will be closed with stitches and covered with surgical tape.
Immediately After Procedure
The removed spleen is sent to the lab for testing.
You will be taken to a recovery room and monitored. You may require a blood transfusion if you lost a lot of blood in the surgery.
How Long Will It Take?
About 45-60 minutes
Will It Hurt?
Anesthesia prevents pain during the procedure. Pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medications.
Average Hospital Stay
The usual length of stay is 2-4 days. Your doctor may choose to keep you longer if complications arise.
Post-procedure Care
Complete recovery may take up to 6 weeks. You may need to restrict activities after you get home. Do not return to full activity or do any heavy lifting until your doctor says it is okay. Arrange for help at home for a couple of days.
You may be given specific exercises to do at home to promote healing and maintain strength. Pain can be managed with medications (except aspirin).
Follow-up care may include daily antibiotics and getting all recommended vaccinations.
Always let your doctor(s) know that you do not have a spleen. Carry a national splenectomy card, which most hospital hematology departments can give you. When traveling, take special precautions against malaria and other infections.
Call Your Doctor
It is important for you to monitor your recovery after you leave the hospital. Alert your doctor to any problems right away. If any of the following occur, call your doctor:
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Redness, swelling, increasing pain, excessive bleeding, or discharge from the incision site
- Increasing pain or swelling in your abdomen
- Cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, or severe nausea or vomiting
- New or unexpected symptoms
If you think you have an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.

A Southern Ute Indian Police Department officer shot a man in the abdomen early Wednesday near Ignacio after the man charged police with a baseball bat, according to the La Plata County Sheriffs Office.
Anthony Martinez, 24, was recovering from a single gunshot wound Wednesday at St. Anthony Hospital in the Denver metro area. His condition had not yet been classified.
The officer, whose name has not been released, was placed on administrative leave, which is standard procedure in an officer-involved shooting, said Dan Bender, spokesman with the La Plata County Sheriffs Office.
The series of events began late Tuesday or early Wednesday in the 200 block of County Road 320B in the area of Candelaria Heights subdivision, northwest of Ignacio town limits.
Sheriffs deputies responded to a report of a man assaulting a woman, Bender said. The man, Andrew Rossi, was not at the house when deputies arrived, he said.
Three officers with the Southern Ute Police Department returned to the house about 3:30 a.m. Wednesday to assist the sheriffs office with the search for Rossi and to interview witnesses, Bender said.
When they arrived, they exited their vehicles and were standing on the street when Martinez ran out of the house holding a baseball bat over his head, Bender said.
Martinez charged the officers, and officers repeatedly identified themselves, he said.
Martinez was about 10 feet away from officers and continued to run at full speed with a bat raised over his head, Bender said. One of the officers fired a single gunshot that hit Martinez in the abdomen, he said.
Martinez faces possible charges of attempted assault on a police officer, Bender said.
Officers detained everyone in the house, including Rossi, who was the original suspect accused of assaulting a woman and possibly another person in the Ignacio area, Bender said.
A team made up of the sheriffs office, Durango Police Department and Colorado Bureau of Investigation is investigating the shooting.

A 57-year-old Hudson Township man was found dead Sunday in his home as Hudson and Morenci fire departments extinguished a blaze there in the 13000 block of Medina Road.
Bruce Allen Shipman, the home's lone occupant, was found on the first floor of the house at about 7:30 a.m., according to information released Monday by the Lenawee County Sheriff's Department.
The cause of the fire, which appears to have originated in the basement, remains under investigation Monday.
Hudson fire crews were dispatched at 6:50 a.m. and found the two-story house engulfed in flames, according to information released by the Hudson Fire Department.
Fire chief Jerry Tanner Jr. said several attempts were made to gain entry into the house to conduct search and rescue but "due to heavy fire and heat conditions and partial collapse of roof and floor, we were unable to make entry to the structure more than 10 feet."
Two firefighters received minor injuries when the floor collapsed and they dropped into the basement. Both were treated at scene by Hudson emergency medical services personnel and were able to return to firefighting efforts.
After fire crews were able to bring the fire under control, they found Shipman's body.
Hudson firefighters were assisted at the scene by the Morenci Police Department, the Lenawee County Sheriff's Department, the Lenawee County Road Commission, members of the Lenawee County Fire Investigative Team and members of the Hudson False Alarms Auxiliary, as well as the Clayton, Morenci, Pittsford, Waldron, Fayette, Ohio, Cambridge Township and Madison Township fire departments.
Fire crews left the scene at 2 p.m.

GWENT'S health board is warning that it will need to close an eyewatering budget gap of at least £100 million during the next three years, in order to balance its books.
The sobering estimate of the financial challenge facing Aneurin Bevan Health Board is reported in its medium term plan.
And the plan cautions that the estimate is based on a number of assumptions regarding issues like the costs of drugs and Continuing Healthcare, the treatment needs of the population, and on the health board breaking even this year.
On that basis, the estimate of the financial challenge to the end of 2016/17 is put at just over £107m.
But the report states: "This is considered a conservative estimate when compared to previous years, and with other health board peers. It is therefore important to note that the scale of the financial challenge may be materially greater than this assessment, but is unlikely to be lower."
That £107m is assessed as being around four per cent of the total expenditure over the three-year period 2014/15, 2015/16 and 2016/17.
One factor that could make the figure even greater however, is if the health board fails to break even this year. Currently, it is forecasting an overspend for 2013/14 of £5.6m, which if previous arrangements were followed would require it to borrow the deficit sum from the Welsh Government, repaying it the following year.
Issues such as wage awards and the fluctuating costs of agency and locum staff could also have in bearing over the size of deficits in the next three years.
But the health board is that ongoing root-and-branch reviews and reorganisations of services and work patterns will help deliver the savings required to bridge the budget gap, while acknowledging that the challenge is huge.
Major shake-ups in the way key services such as A&E, neonatal, paediatric and obstetrics are provided will be announced next week, and these could help reduce costs, but even more wide ranging changes in the way the NHS in Gwent operates will be required.
The health board has already, over the past five years, saved more than £150m in order to cope with the financial challenges of shrinking NHS Wales budgets.

Beef up your second instance of thttpd with redirects and Server Side Includes
This article Based on work by andre. Originally by andre.
Server Side Includes (SSI) and Redirection with thttpd
- SSI is code executed by the server before a page is delivered. For example, you could automatically include a footer into an HTML document, or display its path and modification date.
- Redirection means you request one document and are served another.
- thttpd is the web server that comes with the Linkstation; the example configuration will assume you're using the second instance thttpd2, as described in Articles/GeneralThttpd. You might also find Articles/GeneralThttpdSSL useful for your web server.
Thttpd comes with two auxiliary programs, "redirect" and "ssi", which we'll use to serve ".shtml" pages (as SSI enabled pages are usually called).
This example configuration for an LS1 will serve web content with from /mnt/share/www. On the LS2, you will probably use /mnt/hda/share/www instead.
- On Debian, the programs "redirect" and "ssi" reside in /usr/lib/cgi-bin/ if "thttpd-util" is installed.
- On OpenLink, you will need to locate these programs yourself for the time being.
The relevant parts of /etc/thttpd2.conf read:
port=81 nochroot # cgi! user=nobody # cgi! dir=/mnt/share/www # this is our server root cgipat=/cgi-bin/*.cgi charset=utf-8
Change your configuration accordingly, and run
mkdir /mnt/share/www # this is our server root mkdir /mnt/share/www/cgi-bin mkdir /mnt/share/www/ssi cp /usr/lib/cgi-bin/redirect /mnt/www/cgi-bin/redirect.cgi # on Debian cp /usr/lib/cgi-bin/ssi /mnt/www/cgi-bin/ssi.cgi # on Debian touch /mnt/share/www/cgi-bin/.redirects /etc/init.d/thttpd2 restart
You can't redirect index.html with thttpd; but you can redirect "dirname/".
Having said that, we want to redirect users to the linkstationwiki.net if they click on the file "community.html" on our website; linking to this file is possible.
cd /mnt/share/www # this is our server root mv community.html /tmp/ # make sure there's no offending file ln -s cgi-bin/redirect.cgi community.html echo '/community.html http://linkstationwiki.net' >> cgi-bin/.redirects
See "man redirect" for more information (good luck, it was the reason why I wrote this document)
Server Side Includes
We want to display the modification date of "mod.txt" in the directory "docs" on our web server automatically. Of course this also works for HTML documents, this is just an example.
cd /mnt/share/www # this is our server root mkdir docs cd docs echo '<!--#echo var="LAST_MODIFIED" -->' > mod.txt # create new!! file mv mod.txt ../ssi/mod.shtml ln -s ../cgi-bin/redirect.cgi mod.txt echo '/docs/mod.txt /cgi-bin/ssi.cgi/ssi/mod.shtml' >> ../cgi-bin/.redirects
See "man ssi" for details and more variables, how to include files, and more about SSIs.
Hint: Use "virtual" instead of "file" if you want to include files, giving the path relative to the server root.

The good, the bad and the mildly irritatingJune 25, 2010 at 3:53 pm | Posted in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) | Leave a comment
Tags: anti-TNF, arthritis, flare, hospital appointment, NICE, nurse practitioner, physical therapy, physio, physiotherapy, R.A., RA, RA flare, Rheumatoid arthritis
I was on my way to my six-monthly (ish) hospital appointment this morning, and feeling distinctly glum, most definitely not wanting to go, when the news came on the radio and cheered me up slightly. Some excellent news for UK RA patients generally, I'm delighted to say: NICE has reversed its ludicrous policy of refusing to treat patients who failed on one anti-TNF with another. Anti-TNFs are not all the same, so saying that because a patient fails on one they won't benefit from a different one is patently absurd, but that's exactly what NICE, the patently absurd National Institute for 'Clinical Excellence' had decided to do. From later this year though, patients who fail on one anti-TNF will be allowed another go. (I think only one more go, but that's better than none!)
Hopefully I shall never need to worry about this from a personal point of view as I seem to be doing well on the methotrexate. Inevitably the three-week flare I've just come through has now passed (just in time for the hospital appointment, of course) and didn't show up in the bloods, so it's not being taken at all seriously. Still, on the bright side it DOES seem to be over, so next time I shall just have to gird my loins and nag the hospital while I'm HAVING a flare, if only so they get to see it!
So that was the mildly irritating.
The bad is physio – not my physio of course; she's still lovely. But apparently, 'In order to be in line with private practice' they are going to restrict all patients to a maximum of six appointments before a re-referral is required. It's a very confusing system which I'll explain in another post, but I can probably get re-referred. However, if I normally have physio twice monthly, I'll have to get rereferred every three months and then wait around five weeks for an appointment, where presumably I won't be guaranteed to see my lovely physio and will be reassessed each time, even though after a couple of years I think between the two of us we have a pretty good idea of what works! (Anyway, more about this whinge later!) The bright side is that I have at least had her for around two years, and when I started seeing her I thought then that they'd kick me out after six appointments, so I suppose I can't complain. (Oh wait – yes I can …)

If you see a colony of bats, don't be alarmed say DNREC experts.
Delaware is home to eight species of bats, several of which have begun their annual move from winter hibernation sites to summer maternity colonies. Female bats return pregnant to the colonies where they congregate to give birth and raise their pups. In Delaware, these colonies can often take up residence in barns, garages, attics and homes.
Bats feed at night on insects, many of which are pest species like mosquitoes. Some eat moths and beetles that damage our crops. "
They're providing us with a valuable and free service, so it's to our benefit to have them around," said Wildlife Biologist Holly Niederriter DNREC Division of Fish and Wildlife.
A study published in Science magazine's Policy Forum suggests that bats could be one of the most economically-valuable groups of wildlife to North American farmers, saving farmers at least $3.7 million annually by reducing the amount of pesticides needed.
Even though bats play an important role in our ecosystem, they are often unwanted visitors inside homes, garages and other outbuildings. If anyone has bats roosting in an undesirable location, excluding bats from the building may be warranted.
For a list of permitted nuisance wildlife control operators that can conduct bat removals and to review best management practices for removing bats, as well as more information on the Delaware Bat Program, please visit www.dnrec.delaware.gov/fw/bats/. The Delaware Bat program is also on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/DelawareFishWildlife.
In the spring, it is crucial that bat exclusions be completed before May 15, when female bats typically settle into their colony sites and begin giving birth. If done after that date, flightless young may be trapped inside buildings and permanently separated from their mothers, without whom they cannot survive.
DNREC's Division of Fish and Wildlife biologists are seeking volunteer bat spotters to help in locating and counting the state's bat colonies. The Delaware Bat Count is a statewide research study of bat populations, breeding activity and the overall health of the bats that inhabit the state. The bat program is always looking for reports of new bat colonies.
To report a bat colony, or for more information on volunteering as a bat spotter, or on bat exclusions, please contact Holly Niederriter or Sarah Brownlee-Bouboulis, at (302) 735-8674 or email email@example.com.

Japanese Miracle Beads begin with a base bead of plastic ureal resin. This core is coated with a silver coating and then painted with micro particles and dried. The manufacturer repeats the coloring, coating, and drying processes up to 10 times. This number of coating processes gives the miracle beads their special ability to shine. A secret formula is used for the content of the coating paint to give the miracle beads their distinctive brightness.
Since the beads have excellent reflection and flexion rates, the reflection goes in various directions and causes the beads to sparkle. The process of coating the beads 10 times ensures the thickness and strength of the coating compared to ordinary beads. The beads are also painted with a urethane paint with UV protection so that the vibrant color does not fade over time.
Imitation miracle beads are also produced in other countries, (read China) but they are of lesser quality with no UV protection, more irregularity and less vivid colors.

When the rhythm kicks in Anna starts grooving. The beat works its magic on her. She's roused.
Her leather trousers cling to her long legs. They show off her ass to perfection. Do they go or do they stay? She starts to take them lower. Maybe she will keep them on after all. The feel of them is good. But no – they have to come off. She gives herself to the music in a trance. All that matters is to keep the excitement building.
The crescendo grows. Soon the climax must follow.

Minnesota made the NCAA tournament for the first time in three years, and the Gophers had their best record against ranked teams in Tubby Smith's six seasons here.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Minnesota made the NCAA tournament for the first time in three years, and the Gophers had their best record against ranked teams in Tubby Smith's six seasons here.
None of that made selection Sunday much of a reason to celebrate. Sure, Minnesota was included in the field of 68, as the No. 11 seed in the South region. But the Gophers skidded into tournament with 11 losses in their last 16 games. They were relieved to be included, but after rising as high as eighth in the rankings in early January simply getting a spot was not their goal.
After the bracket was unveiled, pitting Minnesota (20-12) against No. 6 seed UCLA (25-9) on Friday in Austin, Texas, the Gophers naturally expressed optimism about the fresh start, and said their familiar late-season fade is really no longer relevant.
"It feels great. This is a new opportunity for us," junior small forward Austin Hollins said. "We haven't played our best basketball, but none of that matters now."
The Gophers have gone one-and-done in both of their previous NCAA tournament appearances under Smith. The program's last such win was in 1997, the Final Four team later stripped of its records for the academic fraud scandal uncovered in 1999. So in the NCAA's eyes, Minnesota actually hasn't won an NCAA tournament game since 1990.
Power forward Rodney Williams is the only player on this team who participated the last time, a loss to Xavier in 2010. Sixth-year senior Trevor Mbakwe played in a 2008 tournament game for Marquette.
"We'll get the guys together. We'll talk about it. Hopefully we can give everybody some good words of wisdom and get this thing rolling right away," Williams said. He added: "I think every time you go out and play you want to go out and prove something, make it known that we're a team to be reckoned with. We know how good we are and how the Illinois loss hurt, but this is a new chance. We can't go back and worry about what happened."
The Gophers went 5-5 against teams in the Top 25 at the time they faced them this season. In 2011-12, they were 1-8. The only other time under Smith they came close to this was a 4-7 mark in 2009-10. They had three wins over the Big Ten's top five teams, and the depth and strength of this conference, as good as it's been in arguably decades, was what got the Gophers in.
Smith's contract, extended last summer, calls for a $100,000 bonus for a spot in the NCAA tournament. If the Gophers don't win at least a game or two, the 61-year-old could find himself in jeopardy of losing his job.
"This is a business of, 'What have you done for me lately?' That's the way the business operates," Smith said. "That's the profession we chose. That's not up to me. We just do our job and do the best we can and go from there. ... I don't apologize or I don't defend anything. We do the best we can. We do a good job. That's why we're NCAA bound."
The Gophers caught a break when UCLA freshman Jordan Adams broke his right foot in the Pac-12 tournament. The Bruins lost to Oregon in the championship game on Saturday with no time to prepare and Adams watching from the bench in a boot. He averaged 15.3 points, 2.2 steals and 30.3 minutes per game.
The Pac-12 is typically more fast-paced, and defense isn't as rugged as in the Big Ten. The Gophers wouldn't have to face another team from their conference if they continued to advance until, potentially, the regional finals. Michigan is the other Big Ten team in the South region.
"We just have to play our game. We have to figure out what we do best," Smith said. "I would hope that we fit in that style if we can play that style. It's kind of a grind-it-out in the Big Ten, so yeah I think it's a good matchup for us."

A Thanksgiving Table
And one more Thanksgiving note: We wanted to use as much garden produce as possible for our Thanksgiving dinner. So, after all other menu items had been decided, Will got a wild hair and decided to make 'gumbo z'herbes'. This is a traditional louisiana gumbo made with 7 greens. Actually, his was made with 10 greens (!) A thing of beauty, but I must say, it has been many years since I have washed each and every leaf pulled from an entire BATHTUB of greens!
That is all for now. Will has interesting post-frost garden pics on his camera, but I haven't made it into that store yet....

About Our CSA
We are entering the sixth season of our CSA (Community Support Agriculture). What began as an experiment for the creative marketing of our produce has developed into a fulfilling experience for us and our members, one that we so look forward to each year. What you will find below is an explanation of how we operate the CSA, the cost, length of season, expected commitment, etc. We ask that you read it carefully before responding. We have dedicated members that stay on year after year, but for a number of folks, it is challenging to come out every Saturday for nine weeks running and to have time to participate. For those who love the quality of the vegetables, herbs, and flowers – and who like the experience of planting, harvesting, and interacting with others who have the same likes, it is a very rewarding experience. Please read on…
What is Community Supported Agriculture? (CSA)
Community supported agriculture is a movement that got its start in this country in the mid-1980's, driven by a desire by neighborhood groups to re-connect with local growers and producers. The CSA movement is enjoying increasing popularity and availability with each passing year. The goal of CSA is to involve the vegetable-eating-public more intimately with "their" farm. Why do I use "their" in that description? Because in CSA, members buy a share of the farm which, in effect, provides them an ownership stake in the vegetables produced. In that respect, the farmer and consumer become partners. There are many benefits from this relationship to the farmer and consumer alike. For the farmer, it provides a guarantee of sales so he can plant to supply his contract. It also minimizes the time required to market the produce, freeing him up for what he does best, which is…farm. For the consumer, it guarantees a steady supply of farm fresh produce for a fixed price, encouraging healthy eating, and promoting a sense of participation and community around the farm that has been long lost in the age of industrial agriculture. For both the farmer and consumer, it promotes a bond based on trust and mutual interest. For those interested in information on CSA and farms that have set up these systems, the web has worlds of information available with a simple word search.
Why did Port Hudson Organics decided to become Port Hudson CSA?
For most of you who have spent any time visiting our farm and talking with us, you are aware that Thais and I both work full time, maintaining our little farm, bee hives, yard, and other farm-related activities in our "spare" time. This means that virtually every waking hour that we are not at work you would find us in the field or manning the produce tent (or carport). As we expanded our farm-related enterprises to areas such as biodiesel, berries and bee hives, the farm demands finally exceeded our available time. So in 2009, in order to continue our farm sustainability effort and reduce our time commitment (primarily the time spent selling), we tried a concept that is becoming increasingly popular across the country in the "Eat fresh, Eat local" movement, that is, the CSA farm. In the spring of 2009, we enrolled (what ended up to be) 25 CSA member families, and were blown-away by the success of the venture. Member enthusiasm, assistance, and clear appreciation for the unsurpassed quality of our produce resulted in an excellent experience for everyone involved. Since then, we have expanded our enrollment to approximately 40 member families, which is a comfortable carrying capacity of our one acre garden. At this point in our lives, with regular jobs and other commitments, we have no plans to expand further.
What kind of vegetables are grown and how are they distributed?
We grow a wide variety of Spring and Summer vegetables (generally about 20 different varieties). At any time during the season, you can expect around 12-15 different offerings, and 6-8 culinary herbs. We also grow cut flowers, usually zinnias and sunflowers. Each week members will receive a selection list by email. Members then make 7 selections of vegetables and 2 selections of herbs from the list. Members can check off their first and second preferences and we will make every effort to supply the members with their selected items. In cases where we are short on a particular item, say, yellow squash, we will substitute another available vegetable (for example, zucchini) from member's second choice selection if at all possible. Members are free to make notes on their list if there is a particular vegetable they do not want (for example, zucchini) and we will try to honor their request. The amounts (pounds or numbers) of vegetables or herbs per selection were based on an approximation of equal value based on the prices we have charged for these items in the past. And as last year's members know, the amounts of produce on the list are the minimum amount you will receive. Often, when there is a surplus beyond what has been selected, we will throw in some "lagniappe". Members should note that there are a couple of exceptions on the selection list: a bouquet of flowers, when available, counts as two selections from the herb list; similarly, watermelon, when available, counts as two selections from the vegetable list. Each week, a basket with all of your produce and herbs will be made up with your list attached. Blank lists will be available for you to fill out for the following week, as the mix of produce and herbs change with the weather.
Can I select more than one of a particular item?
Yes, if you want 6 pounds of tomatoes one week, you can simply put the number "3" next to the selection "2 lbs. tomatoes" on your sheet and pick four other vegetable selections to make a total of seven selections. If we have enough tomatoes to satisfy your request, we will provide that amount. If we are short, we will attempt to at least provide you with one selection of tomatoes and make up the rest of your basket with other choices. We will let members know each week which vegetables we expect to have in abundance. For example, due to space considerations, we have limited plantings of corn and each planting is generally available for only one Saturday, so we will be encouraging members to select as much corn as they can from the list on the weeks that corn becomes available (we try to send out weekly emails on the state of the farm). Of course, members will also be given preference for the purchase of additional vegetables if, for example, you want to freeze a bushel of corn when it comes in and there is surplus available.
How will the CSA Baskets be distributed?
Members choose to come to the farm either Friday evening or Saturday morning each week during the season. Once you arrive, you can choose from a variety of garden activities in progress and lend a hand. This can range from planting and/or picking vegetables; washing, weighing, and bundling produce; cutting and arranging flowers; cutting and separating herbs to order; helping to pack baskets with weekly selections; sitting under a tree with other members and stripping beans off of plants. Occasionally there is a bigger project at hand, such as erecting the cucumber fence or helping to mulch rows with hay. There will be weeks when you are not able to help due to your schedule, but we find that most of our members help out almost every week. The process takes about an hour, and when you leave you bring your weekly basket with you. Many find this outdoor activity in the garden a respite from their work week in an office!
Members are asked to pick up their CSA baskets each Saturday by 10:00 AM. This is probably the biggest commitment you will make as part of the CSA. We understand that it may be difficult to come every Saturday for 9 weeks, but there are a couple of strategies you can employ to make this easier. (1) you can buddy-up with one or more members in your area and go on alternate Saturdays, each delivering or holding the other's basket for pick up at their house; (2) you can send a family member or close friend; or (3) you can come Friday afternoon to help with the harvest and bring your basket home with you then (we had a lot of members take this option, as we do a lot of harvesting on Friday in advance of the Saturday bedlam).
What if you have a crop failure or natural disaster?
A CSA is a partnership between the farmer and the consumer, and within this partnership is an understanding of shared risk. That said, we do not expect members to bear the full cost of a catastrophic failure, nor have we ever experienced a completely failed season. Should the worst happen, members will be reimbursed a portion of their investment and we will do all in our power to make it right with members through a combination of refunds and discounts on following seasons.
What time commitment is asked as part of the CSA?
CSAs, by definition, include member support. Each week, literally hundreds of pounds of produce must be harvested, hundreds of bunches of herbs must be clipped and tied, and dozens of flower bouquets must be picked. Without member support, this is logistically impossible for part time farmers. Hence, we ask members to commit to help in some fashion (picking, sorting, filling orders, etc) according to their abilities every other weekend or so (we are not rigid on this). We have found that members enjoy becoming involved in the process. Learning about how food is grown and harvested is an uplifting and educational experience. After all, that is why we do it. And it is an integral part of CSA farms across the country. We are assuming that you found us because you appreciate this connection, and we hope that you can find the small amount of time to required to experience that connection.
What is the cost?
Cost of the CSA membership is $350. This covers 9 weeks of farm fresh vegetables, herbs, and flowers of your choice. This comes out to about $38 per week, probably more than you would pay at the grocery store for conventionally-grown produce, but less than you would pay for organic produce at Whole Foods. The quality of the produce, however, cannot be approached by any supermarket, and the experience is priceless. Also, membership in the CSA includes a pint of our farm honey when it becomes available.
In Summary
So that about covers it. If you want to experience first hand the pleasures of seeing, smelling, picking and eating truly wholesome food, please respond quickly to this email. We would appreciate some information on you and your family, and why you want to join the CSA. We will let you know within a few days, and will ask for payment at that time. We ask that you understand that we have about twice as many families on the waiting list as we have openings. However, if you do not make in into the CSA this year, we will give you first shot at joining next year if you are still interested.
Thank you so much for your interest in our little farm. We hope to see you this spring.

MONROE — Michigan State Police Trooper Richard Northrup has received what he calls the "crowning jewel" of his 381⁄2-year career.
Northrup, who works at the Adrian detachment of the Monroe post, was given the 2012 Dr. Carl A. Gerstacker Trooper of the Year award Thursday at a ceremony in Lansing. He is set to retire Feb. 28.
Each year, the award recognizes a state trooper or sergeant who demonstrates professional ethics and dedication to duty, and who gives back to the community. In addition to Northrup's award, the state police recognized David Haynes from the Monroe post as the motor carrier officer of the year.
Northrup is the senior trooper at the Monroe post and has served for more than 35 years in Lenawee County, according to a news release. A 1973 graduate of Howell High School, he attended Michigan State University for a year prior to joining the state police.
He began his career with the state police in 1974 as a service trooper at the Jackson post. After graduating from the 90th Trooper Recruit School in 1977, he was assigned to the Blissfield team of the Clinton post. In 1987, he transferred to the Adrian post and in 2011 to the Monroe post.
"This (award) is a crowning jewel on a long and good career," Northrup said Friday.
Northrup's contribution to the Boy Scouts was one of the reasons he was selected for the award, said 1st Lt. Tony Cuevas.
"Having him recognized in this way is a great source of pride for us," Cuevas said Friday. "He has always provided leadership qualities at the post."
Northrup has been a member of Boy Scouts for 47 years and is an Eagle Scout. In 2011, he was named Area Two commissioner for the Central Region, including membership on the Central Region Board.
Last year, he was named the first council commissioner for the new Michigan Crossroads Council in the lower peninsula, and he is also a member of the National Council. He was recognized by the former Great Sauk Trail Council with the national Silver Beaver Award for his accomplishments and leadership efforts on behalf of the council and its youth.
Northrup and his wife, Patricia, a retired school teacher, live in Tecumseh. They have three adult sons, Joseph, Bart, and John.

Harvey County 911 received a call from a truck driver reporting a bomb threat at about 7:45 p.m. Monday night. The driver said�he had gotten a call on his cell phone. The caller told the truck driver he had an explosive hooked to his truck.
The driver was somewhat confused to his location, believing he had just gotten off I-135 and was on I-70. It was later determined he was on the shoulder of the northbound lane on I-135 at mile post 35. Harvey County Sheriff Deputies met with the driver and were told there was a suspicious box in the cab of the truck. The semi was hauling merchandise for Hobby Lobby.
The Wichita bomb squad responded to the scene. For safety measures, both north and south bound lanes of 1-35 were closed and traffic was diverted.
The truck was searched and no explosive devises were located. The interstate was reopened to normal traffic at 2:15 a.m..
Numerous agencies responded to this call. They included: Kansas Highway Patrol, Newton Police Department, Hesston Police Department, Hesston Fire & Rescue, KDOT, Harvey County Road and Bridge, Harvey County Communications and Harvey County Sheriff�s Office.

Give to someone else. Give to another business. Give to your community. Continue to give. Giving results in receiving. It may take a while, but it works.
"You don't give back to the same people who give to you. Not at all. You give to different people and they in turn will give to someone entirely different. Not you. That's the sloppy economy of gift and love." – Lorrie Moore
I found this quote as I finished reading Another Country by Mary Pipher. It struck me that like love and gifting in this quote, building business and building community often works the same way.
You cannot expect to sit back and wait for things or money or business to come to you. Like love and friendship, the best way to grow community and business is to give. That means giving first. Giving with no expectations of reward, profit or another gift in return. Give because it's the right thing to do and it will help the world around you. It will also improve business.
Sometimes I hear local business owners complain about people not shopping in their store or that our local chamber isn't doing enough for them. In reality they're not doing enough for themselves - or their customers. They forgot about the personal responsibility part of work and business.
When I think of life, I believe there is an abundant amount of love, business and money out there. I don't think there is only a small meager amount and that I have to grab as much as I can or I won't get any. I know there is plenty of love and money out there and that it's my job to find it and make it work.
What can you do to entice people into your store or business? Think about things from your customer's viewpoint. Think about what you like as a shopper. Isn't it a nice treat to find some free litle thing that is provided when you make a purchase? Even if it is a cup of hot chocolate or a cookie. Find some ways to give to your customers. A small gift or reward is always such a wonderful surprise.
Please don't be negative and focus on all the things going wrong or work not coming your way. It's so easy to be negative. It's really too easy. It is much more challenging (and rewarding) to think positively and creatively. Before you go negative, stop and think. I'll bet you can think of some good creative ways to give and be positive about it. It's kind of like praying for your enemy. It's good for your soul, and it might help the enemy too.
Let's figure out ways to give to our customers and our community. Surprise one of your customers with a gift today. A gift without strings. A gift that will help build community and business.
