WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- National Park Service officials want to warn drivers that there will be temporary night-time road closures Thursday through March 31 near Rock Creek Park.
Accoridng to officials, highly trained marksmen from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, will conduct sharpshooting at night when the park is normally closed.
As part of a safety precaution the following road closures may be in effect from 9:30 p.m. to 4:00 a.m. through March 31:
Ross Drive, Ridge Road, Glover Road, West Beach Drive; Beach Drive at Parkside Drive; Wise Road; Beach Drive from the Maryland line to Broad Branch Road, from Broad Branch to Tilden Street, and from Tilden Street to Porter Street, NW; Grant Road, Joyce Road, Sherrill Drive, Bingham Drive, and Morrow Drive.
Park Service officials say the deer population has negatively impacted the park during the last two decades, eating many tree seedlings. The Rock Creek Park White-tailed Deer Management Plan 2012 Record of Decision calls for reducing the density of deer to support long-term protection, restoration of vegetation and more. According to officials, a deer population density of 15 to 20 per square mile is necessary.

Selected Vegetables/Sun's Soup (PDQ®): Complementary and alternative medicine - Patient Information [NCI]
This information is produced and provided by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). The information in this topic may have changed since it was written. For the most current information, contact the National Cancer Institute via the Internet web site at http://cancer.gov or call 1-800-4-CANCER.
Selected Vegetables/Sun's Soup
- "Selected Vegetables" and "Sun's Soup " are different mixtures of vegetables and herbs that are being studied as treatments for people with cancer (see Question 1).
- Dried and frozen forms of Selected Vegetables are sold in the United States as dietary supplements (see Question 1).
- The vegetables and herbs in Selected Vegetables/Sun's Soup may contain substances that block the growth of cancer cells and/or help the body's immune system kill cancer cells (see Question 2).
- Researchers reported that the growth of tumors was slower in the mice that were fed ingredients in Selected Vegetables/Sun's Soup, compared to the mice that ate standard food (see Question 5).
- Researchers reported that some cancer patients lived longer and had better quality of life when they received Selected Vegetables/Sun's Soup along with other treatments. Randomized controlled trials, enrolling larger numbers of people, are needed to confirm the results (see Question 6).
- No mixture of Selected Vegetables/Sun's Soup has been approved by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of cancer or any other medical condition (see Question 8).
Questions and Answers About Selected Vegetables / Sun's Soup
"Selected Vegetables" and "Sun's Soup " are names given to several different mixtures of vegetables and herbs that are being studied as treatments for cancer and other medical conditions, including acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). The following versions have been used:
- Original Mixture
- Shiitake mushroom.
- Mung beans.
- Hedyotis diffusa.
- Scutellaria barbata (barbat skullcap).
This mixture is not sold in the United States.
- Freeze-dried Selected Vegetables (DSV), a freeze-dried mixture of vegetables and herbs sold in the United States as a dietary supplement. DSV is reported to contain the following ingredients:
- Soybean.
- Shiitake mushroom.
- Mung bean.
- Red date.
- Scallion.
- Garlic.
- Leek.
- Lentils.
- Hawthorn fruit.
- Onion.
- Ginseng.
- Angelica root.
- Licorice.
- Dandelion root.
- Senega root.
- Ginger.
- Olive.
- Sesame seed.
- Parsley.
- Frozen Selected Vegetables (FSV), a frozen mixture of fresh vegetables and herbs, sold in the United States as a dietary supplement. It contains the same vegetables and herbs as in DSV.
The vegetable and herb mixture now called Selected Vegetables/Sun's Soup was developed to treat cancer.
- In the mid-1980's, the developer created the mixture to treat a relative who was diagnosed with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer and not helped by standard treatment. The mixture contained shiitake mushroom, mung bean, and the herbs Hedyotis diffusa and barbat skullcap. The developer believed these ingredients contain substances that may block the growth of cancer cells and/or help the body's immune system attack cancer cells. The relative was reported to be alive and free of cancer more than 13 years later. Three more patients with advanced cancer were treated with a combination of shiitake mushroom and mung bean. These patients were also reported to benefit from the treatment.
- In 1992, the developer applied for a patent for Selected Vegetables/Sun's Soup as an herbal treatment of cancer. The developer reported on animal studies done in mice (see Question 5). The developer then began doing clinical trials (see Question 6) to test Selected Vegetables/Sun's Soup in cancer patients.
- In 1995, the developer was awarded a patent for Selected Vegetables/Sun's Soup.
Many of the vegetables and herbs in Selected Vegetables/Sun's Soup were chosen because previous research and traditional Chinese medicine suggest they contain anticancer phytochemicals (substances found in plants that may have effects on the body). These include substances such as protease inhibitors, plant sterols, and isoflavones. These ingredients may block the growth of cancer cells and/or improve the way the body's immune system attacks cancer cells.What is the theory behind the claim that Selected Vegetables/Sun's Soup is useful in treating cancer?
The theory is that certain ingredients in Selected Vegetables/Sun's Soup may contain phytochemicals that have significant anticancer effects in humans. One of these ingredients is shiitake mushroom. Lentinan, which is taken from shiitake mushroom, has been used in Japan to treat stomach and colon cancer after surgery. Treatment with lentinan is reported to help patients with stomach cancer live longer and have a better quality of life. Lentinan may not be easily absorbed by the body from food, so it is usually given by injection. Other substances in shiitake mushroom that are more easily used by the body from food have shown anticancer activity in animal tests.How is Selected Vegetables/Sun's Soup administered?
Selected Vegetables/Sun's Soup is eaten as part of the diet. Daily doses of either 1 ounce of the DSV (mixed with water or other soup) or 10 ounces of the FSV were used in clinical trials.Have any preclinical (laboratory or animal) studies been conducted using Selected Vegetables/Sun's Soup?
Few preclinical studies have been done with Selected Vegetables/Sun's Soup. Research in a laboratory or using animals is done to find out if a drug, procedure, or treatment is likely to be useful in humans. Preclinical studies are done before clinical trials (in humans) are begun.
A small number of mice were injected with tumor cells and fed either standard food or food mixed with one or more ingredients from Selected Vegetables/Sun's Soup. The researchers reported that the growth of tumors was slower in the mice that were fed the Selected Vegetables/Sun's Soup ingredients, compared to the mice that ate standard food. The tumor growth was slowest when the mice were fed both mung bean and shiitake mushroom.Have any clinical trials (research studies with people) of Selected Vegetables/Sun's Soup been conducted?
Clinical trials using Selected Vegetables/Sun's Soup to treat cancer have been done with small numbers of patients. These patients received other types of treatment, either before or during treatment with Selected Vegetables/Sun's Soup, and different vegetable mixtures were used in the different studies.
The results of these trials were compared with published information on similar patients who did not receive Selected Vegetables/Sun's Soup. Most patients receiving the vegetable mixtures lived longer, were better able to carry out their daily activities, and either gained weight or did not lose weight. In some patients who ate Selected Vegetables/Sun's Soup, tumor growth slowed or the tumor completely went away. Because patients in these trials received other treatments, it is not known if their responses were caused by Selected Vegetables/Sun's Soup, the other treatments, or both. None of the trials were randomized or controlled. Randomized clinical trials give the highest level of evidence. In randomized trials, volunteers are put randomly (by chance) into one of 2 or more groups that compare different treatments. In a controlled trial, one group (called the control group) does not receive the new treatment being studied. The control group is then compared to the groups that receive the new treatment, to see if the new treatment works. Randomized controlled trials, enrolling larger numbers of people, are needed to confirm the results of studies done so far on Selected Vegetables/Sun's Soup.
One randomized clinical trial (NCT00246727) of patients with stage IIIB or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer is now being conducted. The trial is comparing the survival of patients receiving Selected Vegetables/Sun's Soup with patients receiving a placebo (inactive substance). Both groups are receiving treatment with supportive care, such as radiation therapy, surgery, or palliative care.Have any side effects or risks been reported from Selected Vegetables/Sun's Soup?
No harmful side effects or risks have been reported in the use of Selected Vegetables/Sun's Soup. Some patients felt full or bloated after eating the dry form, but patients who ate the frozen mixture did not report this.Is Selected Vegetables/Sun's Soup approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use as a cancer treatment in the United States?
The FDA has not approved any form of Selected Vegetables/Sun's Soup for the treatment of cancer or any other medical condition. Well-designed clinical trials that test identical mixtures of vegetables and herbs are needed to prove whether Selected Vegetables/Sun's Soup is useful in treating cancer.
Changes to This Summary (01 / 10 / 2013)
The PDQ cancer information summaries are reviewed regularly and updated as new information becomes available. This section describes the latest changes made to this summary as of the date above.
Changes were made to this summary to match those made to the health professional version.
General CAM Information
Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM)—also referred to as integrative medicine—includes a broad range of healing philosophies, approaches, and therapies. A therapy is generally called complementary when it is used in addition to conventional treatments; it is often called alternative when it is used instead of conventional treatment. (Conventional treatments are those that are widely accepted and practiced by the mainstream medical community.) Depending on how they are used, some therapies can be considered either complementary or alternative. Complementary and alternative therapies are used in an effort to prevent illness, reduce stress, prevent or reduce side effects and symptoms, or control or cure disease.
Unlike conventional treatments for cancer, complementary and alternative therapies are often not covered by insurance companies. Patients should check with their insurance provider to find out about coverage for complementary and alternative therapies.
Cancer patients considering complementary and alternative therapies should discuss this decision with their doctor, nurse, or pharmacist as they would any therapeutic approach, because some complementary and alternative therapies may interfere with their standard treatment or may be harmful when used with conventional treatment.
Evaluation of CAM Approaches
It is important that the same rigorous scientific evaluation used to assess conventional approaches be used to evaluate CAM therapies. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) are sponsoring a number of clinical trials (research studies) at medical centers to evaluate CAM therapies for cancer.
Conventional approaches to cancer treatment have generally been studied for safety and effectiveness through a rigorous scientific process that includes clinical trials with large numbers of patients. Less is known about the safety and effectiveness of complementary and alternative methods. Few CAM therapies have undergone rigorous evaluation. A small number of CAM therapies originally considered to be purely alternative approaches are finding a place in cancer treatment—not as cures, but as complementary therapies that may help patients feel better and recover faster. One example is acupuncture. According to a panel of experts at a National Institutes of Health (NIH) Consensus Conference in November 1997, acupuncture has been found to be effective in the management of chemotherapy-associated nausea and vomiting and in controlling pain associated with surgery. In contrast, some approaches, such as the use of laetrile, have been studied and found ineffective or potentially harmful.
The NCI Best Case Series Program, which was started in 1991, is one way CAM approaches that are being used in practice are being investigated. The program is overseen by the NCI's Office of Cancer Complementary and Alternative Medicine (OCCAM). Health care professionals who offer alternative cancer therapies submit their patients' medical records and related materials to OCCAM. OCCAM conducts a critical review of the materials and develops follow-up research strategies for approaches deemed to warrant NCI-initiated research.
Questions to Ask Your Health Care Provider About CAM
When considering complementary and alternative therapies, patients should ask their health care provider the following questions:
- What side effects can be expected?
- What are the risks associated with this therapy?
- Do the known benefits outweigh the risks?
- What benefits can be expected from this therapy?
- Will the therapy interfere with conventional treatment?
- Is this therapy part of a clinical trial?
- If so, who is sponsoring the trial?
- Will the therapy be covered by health insurance?

About PDQ
PDQ is a comprehensive cancer database available on NCI's Web site.
PDQ is the National Cancer Institute's (NCI's) comprehensive cancer information database. Most of the information contained in PDQ is available online at NCI's Web site. PDQ is provided as a service of the NCI. The NCI is part of the National Institutes of Health, the federal government's focal point for biomedical research.
PDQ contains cancer information summaries.
The PDQ database contains summaries of the latest published information on cancer prevention, detection, genetics, treatment, supportive care, and complementary and alternative medicine. Most summaries are available in two versions. The health professional versions provide detailed information written in technical language. The patient versions are written in easy-to-understand, nontechnical language. Both versions provide current and accurate cancer information.
Images in the PDQ summaries are used with permission of the author(s), artist, and/or publisher for use within the PDQ summaries only. Permission to use images outside the context of PDQ information must be obtained from the owner(s) and cannot be granted by the National Cancer Institute. Information about using the illustrations in the PDQ summaries, along with many other cancer-related images, are available in Visuals Online, a collection of over 2,000 scientific images.
The PDQ cancer information summaries are developed by cancer experts and reviewed regularly.
Editorial Boards made up of experts in oncology and related specialties are responsible for writing and maintaining the cancer information summaries. The summaries are reviewed regularly and changes are made as new information becomes available. The date on each summary ("Date Last Modified") indicates the time of the most recent change.
PDQ also contains information on clinical trials.
A clinical trial is a study to answer a scientific question, such as whether one treatment is better than another. Trials are based on past studies and what has been learned in the laboratory. Each trial answers certain scientific questions in order to find new and better ways to help cancer patients. During treatment clinical trials, information is collected about the effects of a new treatment and how well it works. If a clinical trial shows that a new treatment is better than one currently being used, the new treatment may become "standard." Patients may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial. Some clinical trials are open only to patients who have not started treatment.
Listings of clinical trials are included in PDQ and are available online at NCI's Web site. Descriptions of the trials are available in health professional and patient versions. Many cancer doctors who take part in clinical trials are also listed in PDQ. For more information, call the Cancer Information Service 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237).

Alright, I've gone through the club gallery and I've removed a handful of pictures. Why? Because a picture of Misty standing there smiling has nothing to do with AaMl.
This is a club to express the relationship between Ash and Misty. If a picture does not imply AaMl in any way, it really doesn't belong in this club.
If you've found your deviation is no longer in the club, it's because for whatever reason I am unable to see any AaMl in the picture.
If you're upset about this fact and think that I was wrong to remove your picture, you're more than welcome to note the club stating your claim, and I'll either apologize and let you resubmit it or I'll continue to say no.
Also, if you choose to not send a note and resubmit your picture anyways, I will remove it again, and again, and again until you get it through your head.
Sorry if I'm coming off mean, but seriously, it's an AaMl club, not a Misty fan club. And obviously it goes for Ash too.
Thanks for understanding.

The Fourth Kazekage (四代目風影, Yondaime Kazekage, Literally meaning: Fourth Wind Shadow) was the previous leader of Sunagakure.
Because the Land of Wind's daimyō cut down Sunagakure's budget and instead used Konohagakure's less expensive services, the Fourth Kazekage saw his own village in danger of extinction. In order to prevent that, he decided to focus on increasing the quality of the ninja in the village. As such, he ordered Chiyo to seal Shukaku within his youngest son, Gaara, so that he could become Suna's ultimate weapon. As a result, his wife, Karura died from childbirth while Gaara was born prematurely, despite the Fourth's desperation to save her life. He then taught Gaara ninjutsu, but assigned Yashamaru to be Gaara's caretaker ostracising him from his elder siblings Temari and Kankurō.
However, as Gaara grew and his abilities began to manifest, the Fourth realised that this had been a poor choice, and started to view Gaara as a failed experiment that threatened the inhabitants of Suna, due to Gaara's unstable nature of attacking citizens unintentionally. Being pressured by the village's dying resources and with the council declaring that Gaara was useless to them, the Fourth formulated a plan with Yashamaru to test out Gaara's control over Shukaku. Upon this Yashamaru died and Gaara lost control, allowing Shukaku to go wild. The Fourth used his Gold Dust to stop the beast. After this incident the Fourth saw Gaara was indeed a failure and began issuing orders for Gaara's assassination, but all six attempts ended unsuccessfully. However, later when Gaara began to have more control over his powers due to his new ideals of being alone, the Fourth Kazekage saw this as an opportunity to give his son one more chance, and to appreciate Gaara's usefulness, therefore stopped issuing attempts on his son's life, in hopes of him becoming a powerful tool.
In the anime, it was noted that the Fourth also sent Pakura to her death as part of an unfair peace treaty between them and Kirigakure where her life was to be forfeited. She was sent to Kirigakure under the pretence of being an envoy, where she was killed. The blame for this was cast on Iwagakure whom his village had a feud with at the time as a means to stir their shinobi to war.[2]
Befitting his status and responsibility as leader, the Fourth Kazekage cared deeply about the well-being of his village, so much so that he was willing to ally with Orochimaru to destroy Konohagakure to bring Sunagakure's resources back up, despite knowing Orochimaru is a highly dangerous criminal. This turned out to be a fatal mistake on the Kazekage's behalf, as he and his bodyguards were betrayed and assassinated by Orochimaru. Upon returning from the dead, he hoped that the Third Raikage was right about the next generation being strong enough to stop them from their mindless actions. The anime extends on his ruthless nature as a leader, where he sent Pakura to her death for the betterment of the village.
He loved his wife and children dearly but was also torn between his duties as the village leader and those as a father. This conflict was seen when Gaara was deemed a failure by the council, he was visibly disappointed and ultimately decided to give his son one last chance before deciding whether or not to eliminate him. To this end, he was willing to set an elaborate and potentially heartbreaking lie to see his son's determination. Seeing the failure, he chose the village's safety over his son.
Given his eventual willingness to sacrifice and later ally with Orochimaru for the sake of Sunagakure and the greater good are evidence to suggest that the Fourth Kazekage had a strong utilitarian mindset. He also had a habit of putting "value" on things which might be an allusion to the fact that he used gold dust.
The Kazekage had auburn hair, dark eyes and was usually depicted with a very stern look on his face. He wore a simple black jacket and pants with mesh armour underneath. He carried a small canister strapped to his hip. As he got older, he gained two creases around his mouth. When using his Gold Dust, dark markings appeared around his eyes that bore strong resemblance to Gaara's own dark markings. During his time as the Kazekage, he wore the standard attire of the Kazekage which consisted of a loose fitting blue kimono with a white jacket and the signature hat with the kanji for wind (風) on it.
The fact he was the Kazekage implies that he was an immensely powerful shinobi. He was shown to be quite observant, pinpointing Gaara's Third Eye that was spying on them after Mū sensed his chakra. He employed a stationary-type fighting style where he manipulated his Gold Dust to attack his opponents.
Nature Transformation
The Fourth Kazekage was renowned for his possession of the kekkei genkai Magnet Release that when in use, caused dark rings to appear around his eyes, similar to the permanent ones around those of his youngest son. He utilised this ability to manipulate quantities of Gold Dust, being capable of summoning vast amounts of these particles as necessary seemingly from the immediate vicinity around him, over relatively short spans of time.[3] When used offensively, the Kazekage tended to form dense, fast-moving surges that could range in size from narrow streams to colossal waves, intended to injure a target by violently crashing the compacted material into them. However, when used defensively, he instead created thick barricades of the dust that were durable enough to block large blockades of sand.[4] He was also able to use the Third Eye technique.
Due to the fact that gold is heavier than sand, he was able to use this additional weight to subdue even Shukaku whenever it went on a rampage and later stopped a massive amount of sand during his battle with his son, simply by mixing the two substances together.
Part I
Invasion of Konoha Arc
When Orochimaru approached Sunagakure with the proposition of joining forces in invading Konohagakure, the Fourth Kazekage agreed due to the economical decline brought about by the Land of Wind's daimyō using the shinobi of Konoha. Hoping that the success of the invasion would prompt additional funding, the Kazekage planned to have Gaara unleash Shukaku from the centre of Konoha during the Chūnin Exams to put the Konoha shinobi at a disadvantage from the get-go. However, before he could see his plans unfold, the Kazekage was murdered by Orochimaru impaling him in the chest with the Sword of Kusanagi.
Having also killed the Kazekage's guards, ditching the corpses in the desert, Orochimaru uses his Vanishing Facial Copy Technique to pose as the Kazekage until the invasion began, making it easier to manipulate Sunagakure. After the failed invasion, Baki and some other Sunagakure ninja learn the truth of Fourth Kazekage's demise when they found the faceless corpses of him and his bodyguards decomposing out in the desert. Eventually, he was succeeded by his son Gaara.
A insinuated that the Fourth Kazekage's death may have been the result of a secret plot of Danzō Shimura with the Akatsuki, more exactly Orochimaru who at the time was no longer a member of the organisation.[5]
Part II
Shinobi World War Arc
In preparation for the Fourth Shinobi World War, the Fourth Kazekage was reincarnated by Kabuto Yakushi alongside other deceased Kage, in order to fight against the Allied Shinobi Forces.
When Mū, despite his camouflage, is later detected approaching the Fourth Division, Kabuto has him summon three other Kage in order to provide support. Amongst this number is the Fourth Kazekage who, during the conversation between the others, discloses that he was only aware of their exploits due to his elders. He then declared that whilst the Second Hokage had died many years before his own lifetime, the wretched ability used to reincarnate them had come into the possession of another, a shinobi named Orochimaru. While the others are preoccupied by their mutual desires to confront each other, only the Fourth notices his son's Third Eye observing them from afar.
Pursuing the retreating division throughout the night, each of the Kage lament the possibility of opposing shinobi from their own respective village, with the Kazekage remaining sceptical of the Third Raikage's belief that the current generation had surpassed their own. Confronted by an enormous wall of sand, he integrates his heavier Gold Dust into the approaching wave in order to slow it down, under the presumption that Gaara had already unleashed Shukaku. Divulging that it was this very method which allowed him to stop the beast in the past, just as his son manages to restrain them with arms of sand, he then dwells on their strength having increased. When Gaara finally comes into view, he is shocked to see his son before him rather than Shukaku, causing him to question about the beast's location, receiving in reply that Gaara was no longer the jinchūriki his father had created.
Unable to comprehend the circumstances surrounding his son's revival after the extraction of the One-Tail, especially in regards to how he obtained friends, the Fourth Kazekage's surprise only escalates when informed that Gaara does not hate him, due to his role as Kazekage now providing perspective into the motives behind his father's previous actions. Recollecting the past, including both his son's birth and eventual descent into failure as a jinchūriki, the Fourth Kazekage supposes that there is some value in his reincarnation as it allows him to determine the worth of his child. Questioning whether Gaara was truly capable of surpassing him, the battle between father and son recommences with the collision of gold and sand, resulting in a mixture of the two. However, by attempting to protect two of the other Kage from an aerial barrage, Gaara's sand is able to restrain all three in an inescapable embrace that adopts the form of his late wife.
Admitting the growth of his son as his counters continue to fail in the face of Gaara's Shield of Sand, the Fourth Kazekage comes to the realisation that all a parent needs do is trust in their children, contradicting his prior concepts of value. Declaring that Gaara's strength comes not from Shukaku but instead from his mother, he tells his son that Karura truly loved him and explains that it was he who had ordered Yashamaru to lie about his mother simply as a test. Apologising to his son for all that he had stolen from him during his childhood, he acknowledges that for all his failures as a parent and having no right to call himself a father, he was still glad that Karura's strength had helped Gaara throughout his life. After hearing Gaara forgive him, before the Fourth is sealed, he tearfully recognises that his son had surpassed him and gladly entrusts the village's future to him.
Later, with the release of the Impure World Reincarnation technique, a light of sorts encased the Fourth Kazekage's sealed body as the technique was dispelled and his soul was returned to the afterlife.
- His hair colour was a dull purple colour in his first appearance, but it is auburn in other appearances.[6]
- A scene of Orochimaru killing him was shown only in Kimimaro's flashbacks in the anime, it was not seen in the original manga.
- According to the databook(s):
- His favourite food was any dish with meat.
- (To Gaara) "You've truly grown Gaara… The only thing a parent needs to do, is trust in their children. That's all… And that in itself has true value."[7]
- (To Gaara) "It appears that I didn't have an eye for value after all. The sand will always protect you… It's not Shukaku's strength that you wield, but your mother Karura's. Your mother truly loved you."[7]
- (To Gaara about Karura) "Your mother was truly strong… Even in death, she continues to believe in you and protect you… That's what helped you bring you to where you are today."[8]
- (To Gaara about his shortcomings) "Now that you've become Kazekage… And you've made real friends… and you have real connections with people. Those are all the things I stole. …But I, your father, never did a thing for you. …No… I couldn't even call myself your father…"[8]
- (To Gaara before he is sealed) "More than I ever could have hoped. You've surpassed me… I entrust the village to you now… Gaara…"[9]

/ Applying for Federal Programs
A federal farm conservation program contract (CPC) is a legal, binding agreement between the federal government and an eligible program participant. Under terms of the CPC, the participant receives a payment for implementing a conservation practice. The federal government receives off-farm environmental benefits associated with the conservation practice.
Only a limited number of practices associated with high priority environmental concerns are available for a CPC. These practices vary from state to state as priorities change across regions.
The payment rate for each practice is based on both the cost of practice implementation and the relative value of the environmental benefits received, as determined by the state technical advisory committee on an annual basis.
Contract payments are made to participants based on the extent of the practice performed, reflective of the benefits received. Practices must meet minimum specifications to achieve the desired environmental benefits prior to payment.
Programs Covered
Eligibility criteria for entering into a CPC are established by Congress in the Farm Bill and vary by conservation program. The specific requirements can be found by visiting your local field office. It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the required documentation.
Applicants must have control of the land for the term of the proposed contract. "Control" is defined as possession of the land by ownership, written lease, or other legal agreement.
Applicants must comply with the provisions for protecting the interests of the tenants, which includes the provisions for sharing payments. Before any tenant can be excluded from a contract, written consent must be obtained.
Applicants must be engaged in agricultural production (including forestry) or have an interest in the agricultural operation associated with the land being offered for enrollment.
For an entity, such as a family owned business or non-profit, the applicant must have the legal authority to act on behalf of the entity. The CCC-901 will identify which member(s) may sign on behalf of the entity. If the entity would like a non-member to sign on its behalf, then FSA-211 must be completed to authorize a person to act on the entity's behalf. All members of the entity will be required to individually complete certain documents. Entities must obtain a DUNS number and SAM number.
an individual or entity that completes the application paperwork and identifies land to be enrolled in the program. The IRS identification number provided by the applicant is used to establish eligibility and generate IRS-1099s for the contract. Applicant names and ID numbers must be cross-checked against IRS records to verify eligibility before an application can be accepted.
an individual who controls the enrolled land and uses their personal social security number (SSN) to apply for conservation program assistance
any partnership, corporation (limited liability or other), joint venture, estate, trust, or non-profit association or group that controls the enrolled land and uses an employer identification number (EIN) or tax identification number (TIN) to apply for conservation program assistance.
Application forms are available at any USDA Service Center, or you can request them to be sent to you by calling your local USDA Service Center.
There are different forms used by the programs (Documents require Adobe Acrobat Reader).
Documents listed below require Adobe Acrobat Reader.
AD -1026 -All applicants are required to have an interest in agricultural land, either as an owner or operator, and are therefore required to complete a Highly Erodible Land Conservation (HELC) and Wetland Conservation (WC) Certification if one is not already on file for the current crop year.
CCC-933 - Applicants are required to fill out a Payment Eligibility Average Adjusted Gross Income Certification. Federal conservation programs exclude from eligibility for conservation programs applicants who have an average annual adjusted gross income (AGI) greater than $1 million for the three tax years preceding the application fiscal year, unless more than 2/3 of their AGI is derived from farming or forestry operations.
CCC-901 - For all entities, a CCC901A form is needed to identify the members of the entity and the percent of ownership of each member.
Conservation Planning Worksheet - New applicants to the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) are required to complete a Conservation Planning Worksheet that providers basic information about their farm operation, resource concerns, and goals.
Applicants may also be asked to verify their status using IRS tax records if they self-certify as a Beginning Farmer or Limited Resource Farmer.
The applicant indicates interest in one or more programs and completes the program application form, all eligibility documentation, and the Conservation Planning Worksheet.
Applicants have 30 days from the date of the original application to correctly complete all eligibility paperwork.
USDA completes an initial evaluation of the land and determines the resource concerns with the eligible applicant. This may include NRCS visits to the property or applicant visits to the USDA office to discuss alternatives and program requirements. Any applicant who does not own the enrolled land will also be required to obtain the landowner's signature to apply for permanent practices.
USDA develops a draft conervation plan, a proposed Schedule of Operations including proposed payments, and finalizes the program application package. The applicant reviews, makes corrections to and signs the final program application package. The signature indicates the applicant's agreement with the contract items, including the schedule, extent and payment amounts.
Only limited changes to the application will be allowed after this point, so it is important for the applicant to be fully engaged in this step.
USDA selects applications for contracting based on available funding.
The applicant and USDA complete contract documents. The applicant should be aware of all contract terms, requirements and penalties for non-compliance before signing. After NRCS signature, the applicant may begin installing the contracted practices.
Once an application is funded, the applicant must continue to meet Highly Erodible Land and Wetland Conservation provisions throughout the contract period in order to receive program payments.

How thrilling to find William Zinsser in an Advanced Style post.
On Writing Well is my favorite book on writing. I keep a copy near my desk. Almost every page is annotated and highlighted. Many favorite Zinsserisms are underlined:
"Rewriting is the essence of writing well."
"Look for the clutter in your writing and prune it ruthlessly."
No one understands writing and writers better than this brilliant man.
It shouldn't surprise me that Mr. Zinsser brings as much classic, clean style to his clothes as to his words.

Lam Research Corporation Stock Hold Recommendation Reiterated (LRCX)
TheStreet) -- Lam Research Corporation (Nasdaq: LRCX) has been reiterated by TheStreet Ratings as a hold with a ratings score of C . The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures and good cash flow from operations. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including a generally disappointing performance in the stock itself, deteriorating net income and disappointing return on equity.Editor's Note: TheStreet ratings do not represent the views of TheStreet's staff or its contributors. Ratings are established by computer based on metrics for performance (which includes growth, stock performance, efficiency and valuation) and risk (volatility and solvency). Companies with poor cash flow or high debt levels tend to earn lower ratings in our model. NEW YORK (

- The revenue growth greatly exceeded the industry average of 4.0%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 33.3%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- Although LRCX's debt-to-equity ratio of 0.26 is very low, it is currently higher than that of the industry average. Along with this, the company maintains a quick ratio of 3.94, which clearly demonstrates the ability to cover short-term cash needs.
- 43.40% is the gross profit margin for LAM RESEARCH CORP which we consider to be strong. Regardless of LRCX's high profit margin, it has managed to decrease from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, LRCX's net profit margin of 0.30% is significantly lower than the same period one year prior.
- Return on equity has greatly decreased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of major weakness within the corporation. Compared to other companies in the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment industry and the overall market, LAM RESEARCH CORP's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- The share price of LAM RESEARCH CORP has not done very well: it is down 11.52% and has underperformed the S&P 500, in part reflecting the company's sharply declining earnings per share when compared to the year-earlier quarter. Looking ahead, other than the push or pull of the broad market, we do not see anything in the company's numbers that may help reverse the decline experienced over the past 12 months. Despite the past decline, the stock is still selling for more than most others in its industry.

From pain to comfort! Review by Ptite
Quality Price Value
I have small breasts/nipples, and pumping with hard flanges just hurt, hurt, hurt, even after trying several different sizes. And, of course, pain is counter-productive to milk let-down... :(
But after receiving these areola stimulator, pumping became so much less painful, almost comfortable, and my milk output increased drastically too! I will never pump without these again. (Posted on 2/17/2013)
Its made a huge difference in my pumping experience Review by Triste
Price Value Quality
I am exclusively pumping for tiny twins in the NICU using a hospital-grade pump and am amazed at the difference this has made for me. My supply went up by about 50% when I started using the flexishields and pumping time halved. Yes, that extra nub of silicone is a puzzler but I am still very happy with the performance I get with this. I always start with the Flexishields then if my flow dwindles, pump for the last few minutes without it since the suction is much stronger. They are wonderful for me especially for getting the my let down started. I am very happy to have found these! (Posted on 9/26/2009)

(written from a Production point of view)
Bandai Co., Ltd. (pronounced BAN-dye) is a Japanese corporation specializing in toys, games, models, videos, electronics, and amusement parks. The company is best known as the international distributor of toys based on Japanese entertainment properties including Godzilla, Gundam, Tamagotchi, Sailor Moon, and Power Rangers.
Founded in 1950 to produce tin toys, Bandai has become the world's third largest toy producer (behind US companies Mattel and Hasbro) with holdings and subsidiaries all over the world. In 2005, Bandai merged with video game developer and producer Namco (best known as the makers of the Pac-Man video game) to become Namco Bandai Holdings, Inc., also known as the Bandai Namco Group.
Star Trek releases
Bandai was the exclusive UK and European distributor of the Playmates Toys line of Star Trek toys and action figures. The company marketed the figures in two versions. For the UK, French, and Spanish markets, the figures were released on similar blister cards to the US and Canadian releases. The German action figures were released in unique "windowbox" packaging.
The company was also the maker of the Pair Match electronic game, which was seen on episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
Bandai also began to produce a Star Trek V: The Final Frontier video game in 1989 for use with the Nintendo Entertainment System but the game was not fully completed nor released to retail.
On October 7th, 2011, Bandai released a new Star Trek card game called the Star Trek Deck Building Game which was set in the era of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
The company published the Star Trek video game developed by Digital Extremes for the Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and Windows platforms in April, 2013.
Star Trek starship models
Bandai produced a small line of Star Trek model kits during 2003 and 2004 which featured pre-painted, snap-together models with lighting kits included. What made these kits remarkable was that they were Bandai originals and were not associated with traditionally-licensed model kit producers like AMT/Ertl or Revell-Monogram. The model ships were molded in different scales than most previous versions, too.
Bandai's designers were given access to the original studio models for their research and had the input of Star Trek designers John Eaves, Rick Sternbach, and Doug Drexler. Their comments were included in the instruction sheets which helped the modeler to more accurately build the models. Unlike many original Japanese productions which are normally intended for the home market, these kits were created to be international releases with the instruction sheets translated into five languages.
|Starship Model Kit Line
|Item No.
|USS Enterprise (refit)
|USS Enterprise-E
|Enterprise NX-01
|USS Enterprise-A
|Essentially a re-issue of 116192 with decals for sister vessels
|USS Voyager
|Small production run, making this release quite rare

|Appears in
|Anime, Movie
|Voice Actors
She is a citizen of Konohagakure, the mother of Chōji Akimichi, and the wife of Chōza Akimichi. She is also a member of the Allied Mothers Force.
According to Shikamaru, she is a nice woman, who lets Chōji eat what he pleases. She is also very caring as shown when she fusses over Shikamaru's well-being after Asuma's death while she was on the brink of tears. She is also fierce, protective, and loyal, as seen when fighting the Sumo Wrestlers.
She is a full-bodied woman with short, black hair and eyes which are accentuated by orange markings at each corner. She also wear a light shade of lipstick, a pair of red, stud earrings along with a high collared purple blouse which has gold trimmings and the clan's obligatory kanji for "food" (食, shoku) on the back, a pair of pants, and heeled sandals.
Though it is unknown if she is a kunoichi, she has shown to be very strong, beating the Sumo Wrestlers with her bare fists and being the only mother to fight without using cookware.[1]
Part II
Hidan and Kakuzu Arc
She first appears when Shikamaru goes to the Akimichi household. She later comforts Shikamaru over Asuma's death, while on the brink of tears herself.
Shinobi World War Arc
With the majority of the shinobi away from the village, Ebisu gathered the women and children of Konoha where he discussed their current situation. When the Sumo Wrestlers attacked the village, she, and the other mothers drove them off and watched on as Konohamaru defeated them with a Rasengan.[1]

Story Book Creator
Hi-I'm new here (and new to Digital Scrapbooking) and I looked all the way through Hints and Knowledge. Do these downloads work with Storybook Creator from Creative Memories? Thanks so much.
I'm afraid that I don't know anything about that program--I *think* that .png files will work for most scrapbooking software. But, the best thing would probably ask CM about compatible files.
I have never used StoryBook Creator either. I wish I had more help for you.
Maybe some here has used the software and can help out with an answer
Hi there! I use SBC!! Love it! I don't know all the stuff we can do w/SBC yet - so I may give you misinformation. I have been able to use digikits from other sites on it. I think I have to go to Manage my stuff in the program & click on add a new package & I name the package after the kit. Then I go out of the program to look in the file directory under packages under Creative Memories. Then copy the digikit to the packages.
I don't have the SBC on this computer, so I'm not sure of the exact names. I hope this helps . . . . . or is it clear as mud???hugs, Angi

I have used SBC and love it, however it basicly uses jpegs and pngs. The PSD for Photoshop elements and any of the styles etc don't work. I have heard that if the template is in png form there is a way to use that form of template but find i easier to just use the PSD file in Elements and then save it also as a flattened jpg and drag and drop it into the page in Storybook.

In the coming months, you can look forward to new game reveals and other news for Vita; in the meantime, we wanted to let you know that a minor system software update will be released tonight that improves software stability.

Cooking Through Marcus' Cookbooks with Lindsay Hunt – Lamb Curry Recipe Included
By mahir | November 8, 2010
Lindsay Hunt is our new media intern at MarcusSamuelsson.com. She will be contributing a weekly column about cooking through two of Marcus' cookbooks: cookbooks Soul of a New Cuisine and New American Table.
Lindsay is a graduate of the French Culinary Institute in SoHo, New York. She loves food from all over the world. From Ethiopian food to Dim Sum to the best biscuits and gravy, she loves to eat her way through New York's diverse food scene.
Her parents lived in Indonesia until just before she was born, and she credits her love for all foods to growing up with her parents' adventurous tastes and the bountiful options of cuisine in her native Southern California.
During her study abroad experience in Rennes, France, Lindsay indulged in crepes, baguettes, and creamy cheeses. At Dartmouth College, Lindsay studied Arabic and studied abroad in Fez, Morocco. She ate everything from chicken and prune stews to a surprisingly creamy appetizer of sheep' brains. Now, based in Brooklyn, she looks forward to traveling the globe again through Marcus' recipes.
