2013 will go down as the year that Apple did its best to steal coverage from CES (although the company does try to sneak in some rumors every year.) We've already had the saga of the "cheap iPhone", which won't go away, and now the Apple faithful are joining in to help by unveiling an interactive iPhone 5-shaped memorial to Steve Jobs in St. Petersburg, Russia...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

Agreed. I guess we should ask his daughter Lisa if he deserves a monument. After denying a paternity test and taking 8 years to meet her for the first time.... This guy was a complete D*Bag to the core and it sickens me to see people worship him this way.

Many great men had a dark sides, that doesn't take away from their accomplishments. MLK was a womanizer, but that doesn't take away what he did for civil rights. Einstein cheated on his wife, and left his son to die in a mental hospital, never seeing him for the last 30 years of his life, but that doesn't change what he did for physics. Jobs was an ass to employees, and a jerk to Lisa for a long time, but he still did amazing things for tech.
13. billybuttpounder (banned) (Posts: 105; Member since: 28 Dec 2012)
How f*cking DARE you compare a sleazy salesman who stole the idea to make an overpriced touchscreen phone to one of the greatest and most inluential men this country has seen. Yeah, a salesman is totally on the same level as the leader of the civil rights movement.
Anyway, that still does not mean he deserves the adolation, idolization, and cult like following that he has. He was a salesman and a businessman, and he's dead now. End of story.

Sorry, i didn't expect anyone to think i was actually comparing the accomplishments of those men. It seemed obvious to me that there was no comparison on that level. I should have remembered that haters will always ignore the obvious in order to focus on whatever feeds into their existing bias. My bad.
64. opensourceftw (banned) (Posts: 148; Member since: 01 Jan 2013)
So you needed it pointed out to you that comparing a theiving insufferable salesman who pretty much NOBODY who knew him liked to THE civil rights leader, someone who actually changed the country (not just peddled electronic novelties, actual CHANGE) and brought equality to millions of Americans, and one of the most brilliant mathmeticians/scientists ever was bare minimum in extremely poor tast? Really? You really had no idea that would be seen as offensive?
I'll say it again: find a new job.
69. MichaelHeller (Posts: 2703; Member since: 26 May 2011)
Actually, all I pointed out what that nobody is perfect. Even the best people have flaws. If all you do is focus on that, you're going to miss a lot.
I understand that I could have been more explicit in what I was saying, but again, I didn't assume that anyone would think I was comparing Jobs' accomplishments to the others, because such a comparison is so absurd.
Obviously, you hate Steve Jobs, which is your right. I think he was more than a "thieving insufferable salesman". He wasn't a good man, but he had a real impact on technology. All I'm saying is that you can hate him if you want, but there was more to him than being an asshole.
I'll say it more clearly: get more perspective. You're clouded by hate.
71. opensourceftw (banned) (Posts: 148; Member since: 01 Jan 2013)
"He wasn't a good man, but he had a real impact on technology"
Adolph Hitler wasn't a good man, but he had a very positive impact on Germany's economy after WW1.
OK got it, now I see. As long as someone had some kind of positive impact on the world, regardless of what an evil piece of sh*t they were they deserve respect and recognition for what they did.
Making horrible analogies/comparrisons is fun!

80. thunderbolt (Posts: 76; Member since: 10 Jan 2013)
One man's food is other man's poison. Good and bad are all relative terms. Nothing is absolute about such terms. There have been bigger holocausts than what hitler caused but people only remeber hitler. So that's where "propaganda" machine like press, historians, editors, writers and bloggers have a responsibility which they unfortunately get swayed away from under the impact of money that calls the shots to shape what is written.
15. Droiddoes (unregistered)
WOW Mike, just...WOW. You compare steve "f*ck you" jobs to MLK Jr (you missed that) and Albert Einstein, two of the greatest men America has ever produced. You uh, you DO realize those two actually made a meaningful impact right? You DO realize they actually changed society for the better right? Jobs invented the ipod and stole the iphone concept, yeah TOTALLY on par with MLK and Einstein.
That sh*t^^^^ right there^^^^ is why you are called out as being an apple fanboy and a biased journalist.
Gotta agree with Billy, how dare you.

P.S. I love how you've been conspicuously silent on all of my coverage of Android and Ubuntu over the past couple weeks, but you popped up when I write an Apple article, just to jump to an incorrect conclusion and confirm your bias against me. That's some top notch trolling there.

Don't flatter yourself. Out of the MANY apple articles you've written the past few days this is the only one I've directly addressed you in. It's also the only one where you made an incredibly offensive and insensitive remark.
70. MichaelHeller (Posts: 2703; Member since: 26 May 2011)
If you are DroidDoes with a new name (anonymity is good to you), then all I can say is that I wasn't as clear as I meant to be. YOU are the one who is offended, because rather than ask me for clarification on what I said, you decided it best to simply attack me.
Oh and BTW, I've written 6 articles that were directly about Apple so far this month. 6 out of about 60. Not sure where you're getting "MANY".
73. Droiddoes (unregistered)
Well, being that your comment that started all this has 10 red thumbs you've offended at least 9 other people. LOL at your paranoia though, I'm touched that I mean that much to you!
As far as you only writing 6 adverti-I mean articles directly about apple this month (that's na average 1 every two days) key word here is directly. You have a talent for comparing everything to apple and inserting apple in most everything you write. I clearly am not the only one who sees that or feels that way, have you already forgotten how our last head to head went? General consensus is you are apple biased. Whether that's true or not, that's how people here feel.
75. MichaelHeller (Posts: 2703; Member since: 26 May 2011)
The "general consensus" appears to be you and a few other people. And, from what I can tell, you don't actually read much, because I only compare to Apple when the material requires. Even if you were to stretch the bounds of what you consider "related" to Apple, it would still make up a minority of what I write.
As I've said before, if you come in looking for bias,you will find it even where it doesn't exist. I never meant the connection that you made. My mistake was not being as clear as I should have been. Your mistake was to infer bias rather than try to discuss what was said. I've admitted my mistake, but you never admit yours.

How offensive! Is there a way to report the article writers, because I find what mr H just said to be beyond offensive and disgusting.
To compare a businessman (any businessperson, I don't care how successful they were) to the man who helped unify this nation and get non whites the same treatment and rights as everyone else is profane, offensive, and mildly racist.
To compare a businessman to one of the greatest minds this planet has ever seen is offensive and reeks of fanboyism and just plain poor journalism.
You should be fired for this.
21. nwright94 (unregistered)
You guys totally missed the point. He wasn't comparing Jobs as an equal (didn't MLK Jr point out all men are equal btw?) he was just showing that no one is perfect. You guys ignored that part of it and just drilled into the him saying Steve jobs and totally missed what he was trying to say. You lost all sense of objectivity just so you could throw a hissy-fit in the comment section.
23. opensourceftw (banned) (Posts: 148; Member since: 01 Jan 2013)
No. You do not compare a salesman to the leader of the civil rights movement and one of the the greatest minds of our time.
An appropriaqte comparison would've been to Bill Gates, Steve Wozniak, RIM CEO (drawing a blank on his name), Kaz Hirai etc. Fellow businessman and salespeople. I'm sure they have their flaws, but none of them are in the same league as MLK or Einstein, and neither was jobs.
24. nwright94 (unregistered)
You're still missing the point -_- your android bias is getting in the way of clear thinking.
32. MichaelHeller (Posts: 2703; Member since: 26 May 2011)
Not saying Jobs is in the same league as those guys, they were just the first examples for great men with dark sides that popped into my head. Gates and Woz had similar impacts on tech to Jobs, but neither had the dark side, as far as I know.
Jobs' accomplishments are certainly on a lower tier than MLK or Einstein, but he was more than just a "sleazy salesman".
He had a profound impact on PCs, digital media, computer animation, and mobile devices. Whether or not you like Apple products, you should be able to admit that Apple products have changed markets, and a lot of that is attributable, even in part, to Steve Jobs.
That doesn't dismiss the way he was related to factories in China, or mining operations in Africa, his treatment of employees, or his family. But, his shortcomings also don't dismiss the good things he did either.
You guys can hate all you want, but I'd rather see the whole picture, and not just focus on the good or the bad that supports a bias.

I'm blown away at how far these idiots just took that argument against Michael...Do you guys read? Ever? Really think he was comparing Einstein to Steve Jobs, or maybe he just drew some parallels...
Did that really just happen? I've lost complete respect for all those dishing out the lashing to Michael over something they couldn't even wrap their heads around...f+#king morons
Stop jumping all over the guy
76. jmoney62987 (Posts: 31; Member since: 16 Mar 2010)
Yea I totally agree; he wasn't even comparing them. He was just saying even accomplished men can do dumbass things..but it doesn't change that they ACCOMPLISHED things. Those accomplishments of course not being equal.

This comment section PROVES that this website has gone to hell. It's ridiculous, you android people don't give one f*ck that other people have different opinions from you, you bash them anyway. Steve Jobs, like it or not, was part of the revolution which is making tech today what it is. He may not of made any of the products, but he still was part of it. Just get the hell over yourselves already and learn some objectivity! It's not that hard!
35. MichaelHeller (Posts: 2703; Member since: 26 May 2011)
You seem to forget that not too long ago the comment section was filled with Apple people who didn't give one f*ck that other people had different opinions. The way things are now is no better or worse than before, it's just a different side being the loud jerks. No matter what, it's always just attacking each other for having different opinions rather than being respectful of opinions.
37. nwright94 (unregistered)
Yeah, those crazy Apple people are gone thankfully but I never saw any of them go as far as some of these android fans do, like one blaming the sandy hook shooting on iOS users. Those types of comments from iOS users may have been there and I just missed them, but a lot of these guys go way too far.

Its just a different in opinion. I have no great respect for steve job because he is a self serving prick. No better or worse than me or you. He is good at marketing and package a guru in that area but as a person, No! I chose not to respect him even when i was a apple fan.

By his own estimation, Peyton Manning is not the quarterback he used to be.
Try telling that to the Cleveland Browns.
Manning threw for a season-high 339 yards and three touchdowns, two of which he zinged into impossibly tight windows to well-covered receivers. That pushed the Denver Broncos into a first-place tie in the AFC standings with a 34-12 win over the Browns.
The 36-year-old quarterback got his 72nd career three-touchdown game Sunday as Denver (12-3) won its 10th in a row. Manning has 34 touchdowns and 4,355 passing yards this season � the second-most touchdowns he�s thrown in his 14 seasons and 203 away from his second-most yards, as well.
Yet, when asked if he�s playing as well as he did in his prime, Manning didn�t hesitate: �I don�t. I do not. I don�t,� he said.
�A 36-year-old quarterback coming off a year and a half off, playing on a new team � I�m trying to be as good as I possibly can in this scenario,� he said in an unusually candid news conference. �It�s a different kind of body I�m playing in and just a different kind of quarterback play for me.�
Yes, Manning said, it takes more time with the trainer, more time in the weight room, and there�s more mystery because of the injury. But when he hits the field, he looks like the quarterback who has a record four Most Valuable Player awards and is in the running for a fifth.
His first two touchdown passes, to Demaryius Thomas and Eric Decker, were Exhibits A and B of his prowess on a breezy, warm day the quarterback used to test out an orange glove. He may use it when the weather gets colder come playoff time.
The throw to Thomas was a 22-yarder lobbed to the back of the end zone. The 10-yard touchdown to Decker was more of a laser. Like the Thomas touchdown, it was thrown in leaping range of the receiver where only he could catch it.
�People call that the Dwight Clark throw,� Manning said of the iconic Joe Montana-to-Dwight Clark touchdown that won the 1981 NFC title game for San Francisco.
Browns cornerback Sheldon Brown had blanket-tight coverage on both balls. Sometimes the other guy simply is better.
�I�ve seen him do a lot of special things,� said receiver Brandon Stokley, who also played with Manning in Indianapolis. �It would be hard, at this point, for anything he does to surprise me.�
Manning�s mastery opens things up for the Denver defense to get aggressive, and it did � finishing with six sacks, all in the second half.
Von Miller was in on two, the second of which knocked quarterback Brandon Weeden out of the game with an injury to his right shoulder. Late in the fourth quarter, Browns running back Trent Richardson was carted off the field, with trainers looking at his left ankle. Coach Pat Shurmur offered no additional information on the injuries.
Cleveland (5-10) lost its second in a row after winning three in a row.
�Our record (stinks), and everybody is disappointed,� defensive back Joe Haden said. �Every week it seems like you lose a game and you try to explain why it happened, that you just lost. We need to do better. We just need to win. We can�t keep coming here talking all the same.�
As good as the Denver Broncos were, there were frustrations:
Denver finished with a season-high 11 penalties.
Manning threw an interception that ended a long second-quarter drive inside the Cleveland 10.
Broncos� kick returners bobbled the ball twice but recovered both.
Browns lineman Billy Winn plowed guard Zane Beadles into Manning, altering the trajectory of the pass 30 feet into the air for an incompletion. Manning pounded his fist into the turf after that one.
Imperfections such as those have helped the Broncos stay remarkably focused on next week � in this case, a regular-season finale against Kansas City (2-13) � instead of a playoff road that seemingly looks easier after every win. This week, it was Houston falling at home, 23-6 to Minnesota, dropping the Texans into a tie for the first spot in the AFC. Houston holds the tiebreaker against Denver but has a much tougher game � at Indianapolis (10-5).
�We see it,� Broncos cornerback Champ Bailey said of the standings. �But it doesn�t distract us.�
Miller�s 1� sacks gave him 17� for the season, topping Elvis Dumervil�s franchise record by a half-sack.
�Individual accomplishments are great, but I think it just says the type of defense that we play here,� Miller said.
Denver put this game away during an eight-minute stretch in the third quarter after Cleveland cut its deficit to 14-6.
Manning led a 91-yard touchdown drive, highlighted when he threw a dart that slammed off Decker�s hands and dropped into Stokley�s. Just another Broncos� first down � and another sign this was not Cleveland�s day. Two plays later, Manning hit Decker for an 8-yard touchdown, and three plays after that, Miller knocked Weeden out of the game.
Denver reached 30 points for the 10th time this season, yet another benchmark of success for Manning, a quarterback who insists age and injury have turned him into someone much different than what he once was.
�The ramifications of the (injury) is part of it, and part of it is probably being 36, and part of it is probably playing with a new team,� he said. �You can probably add them all together. I�m just trying to kind of be the best I can be in this role.�

The latest tribute to last year's royal wedding has arrived – just in time for Prince William and Kate Middleton's first anniversary.
Featuring a fascinator-wearing Princess Beatrice and a train-holding Pippa (Peepa?) Middleton, the diorama is one of the finalists in the Washington Post's sixth annual Peeps Diorama Contest (the first-place winner's creation was a take on the Occupy Movement).
The diorama, featuring mostly yellow Peeps, was created by Arlington, Va., masterminds Susan Arnold and her 17-year-old daughter Isabel. The pair used down-to-earth materials like tulle and paper for Peep Kate's Alexander McQueen gown, but the most surprising tidbit is that neither Arnold nor Isabel woke up to watch the wedding when it aired.
Arnold told the Post, "We weren't interested enough to get up so early."

It was reported last week, by AppleInsider and the guys over at Cult of Mac, that the Apple CEO Tim Cook was spotted at Valve's headquarters located in Bellevue, Washington. You may recognize Valve for their gaming platform Steam, and their work in creating games such as Half-Life, Team Fortress and the wildly successful Portal.
It is far too easy, and fun, to begin speculating at what this could mean. We all know that Tim Cook doesn't spend his time visiting companies like this for no reason. So what could it mean? For me, it seems like a perfect fit. Get involved with a company to that already has a digital gaming platform integrated for mac, PC and platform games alike.

UNIVERSITY PARK - Asked immediately how it felt to almost see one of his program's signature wins slip away in the closing minutes, UCF football coach George O'Leary bristled.
"You're talking like a loser," O'Leary snapped. "Now ask the question the right way."
"Coach, was this the biggest win you've had?"
Article Photos
Mirror photo by Patrick Waksmunski
The UCF bench erupts after victory is secured against Penn State on Saturday night.
O'Leary relaxed, sat back and smiled as he answered.
"Yes," he exclaimed.
O'Leary and his Knight players were all positive from there. But they might want to get used to having higher expectations from the outside after they beat Penn State in Beaver Stadium 34-31 on Saturday night.
"I think it's huge to beat a team like Penn State, which is such a great opponent. It was such a great atmosphere to play in. We just couldn't be more happy," said Knights quarterback Blake Bortles, who carved the Nittany Lion defense up to the tune of 20-of-28 passing for 288 yards and three touchdowns.
Fans might need to get used to it, too. More and more of the "smaller schools" seem to be finding ways to compete with the big dogs these days. Look at the waves FCS schools have made this year, following up on the success of Boise State and other smaller Division I programs against tradition big conference powers in recent seasons. Penn State has fallen to Houston and Ohio in the last three years, teams Lion fans in the past would have taken to be automatic wins.
Already this season UCF had beaten Akron by 31 points. Akron took Michigan down to the last play on Saturday before losing to the Wolverines.
"I think what's happened now with the 25 scholarship [per year limit] is that everybody has skilled athletes," O'Leary said. "The teams that separate themselves are the teams with the dominant offensive and defensive linemen. They're the top 10 teams."
UCF actually is well-equipped to make a big move up. The school that began as a technological college in response to the United States' growing space program in the 1960s has the second-largest enrollment in the country next to Arizona State. It is located smack dab in the middle of a metropolitan area in the center of a state that produces enough Division I football talent to keep three big-time programs perennial top-25 residents and a couple of others competitive.
"We knew they were going to be big. We knew we'd be faster," Bortles said matter-of-factly. "We knew we'd be able to get outside and make plays happen. It's what we practiced all week, and we executed it."
UCF already had some nice wins to its credit under O'Leary - it had a bowl win against Georgia - but a road win of this magnitude kind of had eluded the Knights, although there were a couple of close calls.
"It's the biggest [win] since I've been there," O'Leary said. "I think right now, at the stage of program that we're at, I think you can build on a win like this.
"You play a storied program like Penn State, the tradition they have, the crowd they have, it's a tough place to play. I'll tell you, we had that lion roaring all week at our field house, and it wasn't as loud as it was here. I thought Bortles handled the noise extremely well. We ran a pretty clean game from an execution standpoint."
The Knights never looked like they were outclassed athletically or intimidated by the Nittany Lions, driving 89 yards on 13 plays for a touchdown after taking the opening kickoff. When Penn State answered, Storm Johnson promptly gave UCF the momentum - and the lead - back with a 58-yard-run down the visiting sideline.
"The fact that we were able to put together that first drive really put us all at ease, and we were able to do what we wanted to do," said Knight receiver J.J. Wortmon, who caught seven passes for 101 yards, including a diving 5-yard touchdown grab and a 44-yard gainer.
By the middle of the third quarter, the Knights had a 28-10 lead. They finished with 507 yards against a defense that had performed exceptionally in its first two games. UCF had 289 yards at halftime.
"We wanted to come up here and get respect, and that's what we did. Coach O'Leary said we didn't just want to come up here to have a good game," said Johnson, who finished with 117 yards on 17 carries. "I'm proud of my guys. We played hard. When it got tough, we didn't fold."
And UCF did that without left tackle Torrian Wilson, who was injured. Chris Martin moved over from right tackle, but Penn State couldn't get much pressure on Bortles, who wasn't sacked, while the Knight rushers found plenty of room to run through.
"Our offensive line protected very well. They gave him a chance to step up inside and throw the ball, which is why we had some big plays there," O'Leary said. "There were a lot of big plays offensively on both sides."
The biggest defensive play was turned in by Knight middle linebacker Terrance Plummer, who forced Penn State running back Zach Zwinak to fumble at the UCF 27 with 5:43 left and the Lions trailing by 10. UCF's Sean Maag recovered, enabling his team to run nearly 2 more critical minutes off the clock.
"As I brought him down, I tried to rake at the ball to get it out. I didn't know I did it until everybody was cheering. It was a good moment," Plummer said. "We were definitely trying to keep our composure in the last minutes of the game. It was getting hectic."
This might have been a confidence-building win for the Knights, but they came in with a lot of confidence, too.
"We feel like we're a better team than anyone that we're matched up with. All of us are coming together as a group. We're a veteran group," Wortmon said. "We really showed the world what we can do."
Making a name for UCF seems like it was a rallying cry for the Knights.
"We definitely played with a chip on our shoulders. I know I do," Bortles said. "We didn't have the [scholarship] offers from Penn State and the big schools. When we come here and play, we want to make sure they know we can play with them."
A member of the fledgling American Athletic Conference with most of the old Big East football schools, UCF struck a blow for the little guys on Saturday, but also sent a message that they might be the next little big guy itself.
"This is probably the biggest win since I've been here," Plummer said, "but we've got many more to come. We take this as a steppingstone that we're coming."

Across the nation this week, FFA members will be holding events and engaging their communities in their chapters as part of the celebration of National FFA Week, held Feb. 15-22.
This year's theme is "Ignite," and it embraces more than 80 years of FFA traditions while looking forward to the organization's future.
More than half a million members will participate in National FFA Week activities at local, state and national levels. These members have a passion for agriculture.
FFA Week gives members a chance to educate the public about agriculture. During the week, chapters host teacher-appreciation breakfasts, conduct "Ag Olympics" competitions, speak to the public about agriculture, volunteer for community service projects and more.
The week of George Washington's birthday was designated as National FFA Week in 1947 at a National FFA Board of Directors meeting. FFA Week always runs from Saturday to Saturday, and encompasses Feb. 22, Washington's birthday.
"Founded in 1928, the Future Farmers of America brought together students, teachers and agribusiness to solidify support for agricultural education. In Kansas City's Baltimore Hotel, 33 young farmboys charted a course for the future. They could not have foreseen how the organization would grow and thrive," the National FFA website states.
It continues, "Since 1928, millions of agriculture students — no one knows exactly how many — have donned the official FFA jacket and championed the FFA creed. FFA has opened its doors and its arms to minorities and women, ensuring that all students could reap the benefits of agricultural education."
National FFA Week did not start out as a week-long event.
At first it was National FFA Day. The 1933 National FFA Convention proceedings records the beginning of FFA Day in this way: "Stewart of Montana requested the floor at this time to present a matter of general interest. He suggested the idea of having a special Future Farmer Day some time during 1934, preferably on one of the regular national FFA broadcasting days. It was pointed out that the various state associations could perhaps plan special state broadcasts also on that day and that chapters might plan their father and son banquets on the date specified. The idea seemed to meet with general delegate approval and after some discussion it was moved by Stewart that the Board of Trustees arrange for such a day; motion passed."
The state organization is led by the state officer team including Tim Stahley, president; Alison Seedorf, vice president; Snowy Grover, secretary; Dusty Corliss, treasurer; Wilson Ogg, reporter; Clay Patton, sentinel; Brady Rink, executive committee; Kayla Calvin, executive committee; Karen Williams, executive committee and Ashley Higgins, executive committee.
"We get to display all the great things that FFA does in that one week. FFA Week is important because 90 percent of the chapters come together and perform community service projects, such as writing letters to troops, visiting a nursing home or working with elementary school students. Community service is always a great thing, and it helps FFA members to give back to the community," said Clay Patton, the state senteniel, who is from the Genoa/Hugo chapter.
He continued, "They also inform the public about ag, which is important everywhere, even in rural areas. We have people who live there who are not from an agricultural background as well. They educate the public by putting on petting zoos and tractors rides, and the public can see and ask questions they have about ag. The students can answer in a professional matter, which creates a positive image for youth and for agriculture," he said.
National FFA week gives FFA members the opportunity to showcase their chapters in their local communities, while developing unity and providing public speaking opportunities.
"My favorite part of FFA Week is meeting with someone who has an idea about agriculture, but wants to know more. They are truly interested, and you are able to give them the information they are looking for. You see that spark when it all makes sense, and you get to see the trust they have in the people who are raising their food," Patton stated.
The Colorado officer team will hold their National FFA Week celebration a week later, where they will attend the legislature with Rep. Jerry Sonnenberg, and will cap off the FFA celebration with the Agricultural Hall of Fame Banquet, which will be held on Feb. 27.
He enjoys FFA and FFA Week for the unity that it creates.
"From the members standpoint, there are a lot of us across the U.S. that are united in blue corduroy. Wherever we go, there are people who know and understand what I am doing," he said.
He added, "It's been an awesome experience to be an officer, and very humbling. I get to see our 6,000 members do great things, and I get to see them showcase that during FFA week. I am looking forward to seeing more of them and having a great convention in May."
Patton began his career in agriculture in 4-H, and joined FFA where he pursued a diversified livestock production program as well as public speaking. "I loved public speaking, and felt that my voice got to be heard, and the knowledge that I had was heard as well as my viewpoints and opinions," he explained.
FFA makes a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success. Today's FFA members are the innovators and leaders of tomorrow. Through agricultural and hands-on learning, they are preparing for more than 300 career opportunities in the food, fiber and natural resources industry.
National FFA Week is sponsored by Tractor Supply Company as a special project of the National FFA Foundation.
The National FFA Organization provides leadership, personal growth and career success training through agricultural education to 579,678 student members in grades seven through 12 who belong to one of 7,570 local FFA chapters throughout the U.S., Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. ❖

We also talk about our design content at MIX, called the UX Lightning Series. We've lined up 12 expert speakers to present on various design and UX topics to stimulate creative thinking in a compelling format that will keep things moving along very quickly with a new speaker hitting the stage every 10 minutes. The result? Less fluff, less syntax, and much more creative and inspiring content!
So, what's the biking about? Nothing other than our studio got a new green screen and we thought it'd be fun. But, if you watch very closely, there is a difference between Mike and Jennifer's cycling. If you can be the first to guess correctly what that variance is by posting in the forum below, a MIX11 shirt could be yours. Good luck! http://live.visitmix.com
Oops, something didn't work.
The difference between the two appears to be that Mike is pedalling backwards and Jennifer is pedalling forwards.
Well done, Jim! I'm pedaling the "right" way and Mike is pedaling the "wrong" way. Hah!
Email me, firstname.lastname@example.com, with your shirt size and mailing address!
Got the shirts! Woohoo! Thx!

America's First Big Digital Defeat
A majority of the 193 U.N. member countries have approved a treaty giving governments new powers to close off access to the Internet in their countries.
The open Internet, available to people around the world without the permission of any government, was a great liberation. It was also too good to last. Authoritarian governments this month won the first battle to close off parts of the Internet.
At the just-concluded conference of the International Telecommunications Union in Dubai, the U.S. and its allies got outmaneuvered. The ITU conference was highly technical, which may be why the media outside of tech blogs paid little attention, but the result is noteworthy: A majority of the 193 United Nations member countries approved a treaty giving governments new powers to close off access to the Internet in their countries.
U.S. diplomats were shocked by the result, but they shouldn't have been surprised. Authoritarian regimes, led by Russia and China, have long schemed to use the U.N. to claim control over today's borderless Internet, whose open, decentralized architecture makes it hard for these countries to close their people off entirely. In the run-up to the conference, dozens of secret proposals by authoritarian governments were leaked online.
ITU head Hamadoun Touré, a Mali native trained in the Soviet Union, had assured that his agency operates by consensus, not by majority vote. He also pledged that the ITU had no interest beyond telecommunications to include the Internet. He kept neither promise.
A vote was called late one night last week in Dubai—at first described as a nonbinding "feel of the room on who will accept"—on a draft giving countries new power over the Internet.
The result was 89 countries in favor, with 55 against. The authoritarian majority included Russia, China, Arab countries, Iran and much of Africa. Under the rules of the ITU, the treaty takes effect in 2015 for these countries. Countries that opposed it are not bound by it, but Internet users in free countries will also suffer as global networks split into two camps—one open, one closed.
The U.S. delegation never understood this conference was fundamentally a battle in what might be called the Digital Cold War. Russia and China had long been lobbying for votes, but U.S. opposition got serious only at the conference itself. Even then, Mr. Touré claimed he thought the U.S. would support the ITU treaty: "I couldn't imagine that at the end they wouldn't sign."
The treaty document extends control over Internet companies, not just telecoms. It declares: "All governments should have an equal role and responsibility for international Internet governance." This is a complete reversal of the privately managed Internet. Authoritarian governments will invoke U.N. authority to take control over access to the Internet, making it harder for their citizens to get around national firewalls. They now have the U.N.'s blessing to censor, monitor traffic, and prosecute troublemakers.
Internet users in still-open countries will be harmed, too. Today's smoothly functioning system includes 40,000 privately managed networks among 425,000 global routes that ignore national boundaries. Expect these networks to be split by a digital Iron Curtain. The Internet will become less resilient. Websites will no longer be global.
Under the perverse U.N. definition of progress, Mr. Touré is delighted with the ITU undermining the open Internet. "History will show that this conference has achieved something extremely important," he said. "It has succeeded in bringing unprecedented public attention to the different and important perspectives that govern global communications." The treaty calls on countries to "elaborate" their views on the Internet at future ITU conferences, so these issues are here to stay.
Robert McDowell, a Republican member of the Federal Communications Commission, summarized the harm. "Consumers everywhere will ultimately pay the price for this power grab as engineers and entrepreneurs try to navigate this new era of an internationally politicized Internet," he said. "Let's never be slow to respond again."
One lesson is that the best defense of the Internet is a good offense against an overreaching U.N. The majority of authoritarian governments in a one-country, one-vote system will keep chipping away at the open Internet. The best way to stop them is to abolish the ITU.
As outlined in last week's column, former Obama administration technology adviser Andrew McLaughlin proposes applying the nongovernmental model now operating the Internet to the telecommunications industry as well. That would make the ITU unnecessary. Both houses of Congress voted unanimously against any ITU treaty endangering the open Internet. One expects lawmakers would happily support the Obama administration if it gathers the resolve to abolish the U.N. agency.
Just as during the last Cold War, the clash over the future of the Internet will have many battles across many fronts. Authoritarian governments are highly motivated to close the Internet off. But just as in the Cold War, these regimes are doomed to lose if free countries resolve to fight. Whatever governments want, people prefer freedom and eventually will get it, including on the Internet.

The singer gave the first live performance of her new single "Roar" under the Brooklyn Bridge on Sunday night, on a stage set up like a boxing ring and decorated with a gold lion and a gold tiger head.
Sticking with the theme of her set, Perry dressed like a prizefighter with sparkling gloves, an animal-print sports bra, shorts with a flame print and gold lace-up boots. She even had an actor playing a trainer in her corner of the ring, who handed her a water bottle and offered her a bucket to spit in afterwards. She really showed off her jump-roping skills!
The song is the first track off her new album, Prism (due out Oct. 22), and Perry hinted at some serious reinvention in promo videos that featured her burning the iconic blue wig from her "California Gurls" video and burying her Teenage Dream bubblegum pop image.
Katycats, as the singer's fans are known, eagerly awaited the 28-year-old's performance, Tweeting their excitement as they heard and saw the singer rehearsing in Brooklyn on Saturday.
"Roar" has been a smash hit, selling more than 550,000 digital downloads in its first week of release, which makes it Perry's biggest-selling digital track.

Organized chronologically, this collection begins with his early writings, including a thundering account of his political imprisonment in Cuba at age sixteen. The middle section focuses on his journalism, which offers an image of the United States in the nineteenth century, its way of life and system of government, that rivals anything written by de Tocqueville, Dickens, Trollope, or any other European commentator. Including generous selections of his poetry and private notebooks, the book concludes with his astonishing, hallucinatory final masterpiece, "War Diaries", never before translated into English.

Femuary is like movember but for women. We don't shave our legs, armpits, etc.. for all of Feburary. The reason? to bring about the awareness that women don't actually need to shave. Hair is natural. If men don't shave their faces, the consequences are minimal.. Maybe they will have difficulty getting a job or picking up girls. If women don't shave their legs, everyone stares. Why is that? Hair is natural. Let yourself be free for Femuary!
"Why are there so many hair girls lately!?"
"Because it's Femurary!"

A Dolan is a fish with ballsacks the size of Toyota Sieanna 2008 models. Each ballsack is the size of one car. The McDolan is farmed by popular shit food company, McDonalds. The fishes body is the size of a marble and the ballocks are as big as cars. McDonalds chops up the sacks and then uses them as hamburger patties.
The McDolan burger was so delicious and moist.

Given the chance I will usually look at suits of armor. I love the samurai armor in the Pavilion for Japanese Art, often visit the Arms and Armor galleries when at the Met, and lately have been studying the four shining examples in the Hearst exhibition, trying to figure out what makes them interesting. I began with the thesis that they're funny, but that's not it: they're more strange than funny, the original Transformers, an alien version of the human form. Hearst the Collector is a great place to ponder the contrast; the armored figures stand like sentinels at an intersection that leads in every direction to images of graceful humans, or goddesses in human form.
Armor in the Gothic Style, Germany (Augsburg), c. 1485 and later (detail), The Detroit Institute of Arts, gift of the Hearst Corporation
The Hope Hygieia, Rome, mid-2nd century (detail), LACMA, William Randolph Hearst Collection
Armor in the Gothic Style, Germany (Augsburg), c. 1485 and later (detail), The Detroit Institute of Arts, gift of the Hearst Corporation
Antonio Canova, Italy, Venus Italica, c. 1804-14 (detail), Hearst Castle/California State Parks
The other thing that interests me about armor is: it seems like it would be difficult to fight while wearing it—hard to move and even harder to see what you're doing. I've researched this a bit and am amazed to find a scholar who sort of agrees. In A History of Warfare, the historian John Keegan writes,
Indeed, there is considerable evidence that, even in its heyday in the fifteenth century, knightly warfare was not what it seems to us or what its devotees believed it ought to be at the time.... The idea that armoured knights, riding knee to knee with couched lances in dense waves of successive ranks, could have charged home against each other without instantaneous catastrophe to both sides at the moment of impact defies belief.
Keegan thinks plate armor was less suited to combat than to "the artificialities of the joust."
Armor for the Tilt, Germany (Augsburg), c. 1580, The Detroit Institute of Arts, Gift of the William Randolph Hearst Foundation
And yet, not so fast. The Met's excellent FAQ on armor says that the immobility of knights in armor is a misconception—that field armor weighs less than the things modern soldiers carry and that "the famous French knight Jean de Maingre (ca. 1366-1421) known as Maréchal Boucicault... in full armor, was able to climb up the underside of a ladder using only his hands." And I find that pretty fascinating too.

Best, most exciting city in the whole wide world (I'm not american by the way) with some of the friendliest (really) people and the best food. Where else can you buy a giant pretzel? or nuts? or a huge pizza on the street? It's one of those places everyone should go to, at least once.
You should go to New York City!

Metropolis; the biggest city in the United States and one of the biggest cities in the world. The financial and economic capital of the United States and the Western Hemisphere. Like any other city, whether its visible on the surface or not, there's crime, poverty and excess in New York City, alongside some of the wealthiest people in the world. It differs from other cities in the US in that the cityscape is more of a contiguous metropolis than Los Angeles, Boston or Chicago. Residents are (surprise surpise) very proud of their city; they have a reputation for being rude, arrogant and boisterous but it is a stereotype that doesn't hold true in every circumstance.
New Yorker: Yeah NYC is the greatest city in the entire fuckin' world and dont you fuggetit
Me: Yeah I was in New York City in 2003 and I was flying out of Newark and the sky above NYC was green
New Yorker: Yeah but its a real city

She only received one vote for tournament Most Valuable Player, but without her heroic second-half effort against Florida Gulf Coast in Saturday's championship game, the Hatters would never have been crowned A-Sun champs.
Junior Sasha Sims scored 12 of her team-high 15 points in the final 20 minutes, recorded a career-high five blocks, and scored the game-winning basket with 21 seconds remaining to lift Stetson to an improbable 70-64 victory over the Eagles.
Even more impressive about Sims's performance was that she spent nearly the entire first half on the bench, after picking up her second foul just four minutes into the game.
"After I got in foul trouble I just tried to stay positive," Sims said. "I was cheering them on from the bench. You can't become selfish and just focus on what you have going on. I just kept focusing on the team, and eventually the game came back around to me."
Sims began the second half by hitting her 100th career three-pointer, cutting the FGCU lead from 15 down to 12. An offensive rebound and putback at the 16:25 mark trimmed the lead to 11.
The block party began with a little under nine minutes remaining when Sims stuffed back-to-back shot attempts by Sarah Hansen. Sims then ran down the floor and recieved a pass from Victoria McGowan before hitting a lay-up and converting a three-point play.
"Those blocked shots are momentum shifts," head coach Lynn Bria said. "I told her just stay and help as much as you can, because we knew they were going to isolate and try and drive. We tried to keep her around the basket as much as we could and she did a great job."
Sims added three more blocks over the next four minutes to keep the Hatters within striking distance, then with the score tied at 64 in the closing seconds, Sims hit a 10-foot jumper to the left of the lane to give Stetson a lead it would not relinquish.
"I heard the crowd and the bench went crazy, but I was just trying to put the ball in basket," Sims said. "I was trying to find the open man but couldn't find anyone, so I knew I had no choice but to shoot it and make it."
Sims, along with McGowan, was selected to the all-tournament team. However, personal accolades took a back seat for Sims to the importance of winning the championship for her teammates.
"This morning I woke up and I texted (Shanasa Sanders and McGowan) and told them we were going to win the championship because they deserved it," Sims said. "I felt like I had 40 minutes left in me and that was what I was going to give, no overtime, none of that. We were going to win the game period."
Win it, Stetson did, thanks in large part to Sims.

quote: The problem is, so many are being rewarded for taking risks and causing catastrophe while doing so.
quote: Wrong. A TINY minority. There are thousands of CEO's out there doing their jobs, we only hear about the tiny minority in big companies when they screw up. We very rarely see any acknowledgment for the positive side of the position.A large percentage of the idiot public seem to think a CEO's job involves sitting around doing nothing making millions, firing employees, and waiting to get fired so he can get a bonus. Nothing is farther from the truth, and I guess I'll have to put you in this category sadly.
quote: CEO compensation should be proportionate to baseline employee pay and should only fluctuate as much as baseline employee pay when going upwards--directly proportionate on a 1:1 level aside from bonuses (bonuses are earned as a result of performance).
quote: There are plenty of fairly compensated CEO's--and there are many that are disproportionately compensated far beyond what they deserve.
quote: Simple logic dictates that, for obvious reasons, your idea of proportional compensation would cause an unsustainable increase in the cost of operations.
quote: I just generally don't like to indulge in such thoughts because they lead to a class warfare Marxist mentalit
quote: No, the trick is to enduldge in those thoughts and *form your own oppinion*.
quote: If you don't question your own beliefs, how the heck do you know that they are true? Because somebody else told you so? I'm sure you can see the folly of that.
quote: Capitalism was ment as a system to deal with the value of things, what everything is worth.
quote: Currently, we've set that value at "whatever people are willing to give for it". This is wrong. Just because somebody pays a billion for a toilet roll, doesn't mean it's actually valued at a billion dollars.
quote: If money dissapears, then a toilet roll will not get you the equivalent of a billion dollars in gold in exchange for it.
quote: It's the SEC that should be addressing this type of collusion-style board room.
quote: I just don't understand how you can be a capitalist and believe in the free market yet seem to run with a lot of anti-big business talking points. How you can reconcile those two are interesting but kind of frustrating.
quote: There is only one or a handful of CEO's in a company. There could be tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of employees. Simple logic dictates that, for obvious reasons, your idea of proportional compensation would cause an unsustainable increase in the cost of operations. Very few, if any, companies could stay in business if this were to happen.
quote: Okay there it is again. "Deserve". I keep seeing all these Liberal buzzwords being used, getting nervous here. Fairness, greed, deserve and "absurd" salaries.
quote: How about authors like Tom Clancy. Isn't it "absurd" that someone sitting on their ass making up stories can get that rich?
quote: Thus, pay has to fit in with operational costs while still allowing either a break even or profit. What I was getting at was say you have an average base salary of 30k, the CEO is locked to that base with a multiplier, decided by not only the board (we'll get to that) but by shareholders as well. As it is right now, many CEO's are getting 150-300 times the pay of that average (not all) which is asinine in itself.
quote: I would hope you don't, as I don't belong in that category. I realize the CEO spot takes a special person to do the job. Most people aren't cut out for it and the 24/7 sacrifice they put into their position is insurmountable and unimagineable by most. I know CEO's and have been around them for my whole life. What I don't like is greed.
quote: My point is to get rid of boards deciding compensation completely and put it up to shareholder vote.
quote: You make it sound like CEOs are the messiah when in reality, only 1 in 10,000 are _that_ good.

I cannot count how many times my cell phone was incessantly buzzing the last two weeks from political operatives, Democratic loyalists and the so-called analysts who claim to have the crystal ball for next Tuesday's election.
From Washington to Detroit, often called the mecca of Black America, I discovered a consistent effort by those who felt they now need to come out in the eleventh hour to coax the Black press for favorable coverage about what is happening to Democrats in Washington, and how the elections in Michigan could serve as a harbinger for things to come.
Without any sense of recourse to the fact that they hardly reach out to African American journalists until the next election cycle, these party operatives all of a sudden want to remind us how loyal they are to the African American community and the issues facing Detroit.
Yet the paradox remains that the so-called loyalty is never practiced unless the Democrats find themselves in a battle for control of political power. That is when they come knocking and even reminding some in the African American community how good they are in singing the melodious and glorious "Lift Every Voice and Sing" in a bid to get votes.
All of the calls that came to my desk have one common purpose — get the Black press to understand how crucial next Tuesday's election is. We understand and we need not be reminded about the importance because we cover the issues and the people involved in the democratic process.
The pressure the Democrats find themselves in was evident when the White House called last week asking me to join a conference call that President Obama was hosting. Yes, when it's the chief himself calling for an editorial meeting it is serious business inside the Democratic camp.
But all of the last minute gestures being made now makes me wonder if the attention currently being given to the African American community is sincere in the eyes of the party bosses.
Or are they just trying to count votes since the Black vote is the soul of the Democratic Party? What happened a year ago or even seven months ago?
Why didn't they feel the need to reach out aggressively to the African American community at the time, and not wait until crunch time?
Sadly, it was only recently that the Democrats deemed it necessary to set up a gubernatorial office in downtown Detroit. Detroit is Michigan's largest city and it embodies most of the issues facing Michigan. Yet Detroit, the Democratic stronghold in the state, is asked to sit in the back of the bus when it was time to set up campaign offices.
But this kind of political bait and switch game is one that is all too familiar and that's because Democrats have been allowed to play the game without reprimand for so long.
There is no doubt that Democrats have delivered more crucial victories for African Americans than any other party. But those victories came with African Americans paying the price and serving up to today as the pillar upon which the party stands.
The fact that a Democratically controlled U.S. Senate would still hold back over a billion dollar payment for Black farmers in 2010 — that emanated from years of discrimination against Black farmers — is mind-boggling. Yet the high priests of the Democratic Party want to come to cities like Detroit, Atlanta and Chicago in this election cycle to preach Black loyalty.
Where is the loyalty in exchange for Black votes?
Like a committed, caring, concerned, loving, loyal and faithful wife, Blacks have always lived up to their vows in this strange marriage with the Democratic Party. Blacks still proudly display the wedding ring in a public show of support and loyalty to the party.
In exchange, the Democratic Party, like a careless, insincere, uninterested and deceptive husband who does not know what he has until he loses it, only addresses African American issues when its publicly shamed and forced to do so.
If this election was so crucial to President Obama's agenda, the Democratic National Committee would have started reaching to the African American community a year or so ago. They would have begun a protracted campaign to canvass as well as inform Black voters of what is really at stake.
They would not have waited two to three weeks before the election and made a plea to Black journalists to participate in conference calls and editorial meetings.
The Black press is not the mouthpiece of the Democratic Party. But yes, the Democrats are close to the ideas and issues mostly espoused in Black media outlets across the country.
We have a common interest that the Democrats say they have long been championing. That is the advancement of the African American community. Like an eternal optimist, I am hopeful that this complex institution called the Democratic Party will live up to its credo.
Senior editor Bankole Thompson is the author of the new book, "Obama and Black Loyalty, Vol. 1." It is a triology on President Obama and Black America. This Saturday, Oct. 30, at 1 p.m. Mark Brewer, head of the Michigan Democratic Party, will appear for an exclusive interview on "Center Stage With Bankole Thompson" on WADL-TV38, Comcast Channel 4. You can also listen to his weekly analyses on "The Craig Fahle Show" Thursdays, 11:15 a.m., on WDET-101.9 FM, Detroit NPR affiliate station. E-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

The CDC provided a situation update regarding key flu indicators for the Week of Sep 20-26 and said that influenza activity remained elevated in virtually all states.
Visits to doctors and hospitals are higher than can be expected this time of the year and almost all cases were similar to the H1N1 strain which was chosen for the 2009 H1N1 vaccine. This virus remains susceptible to the antiviral drugs oseltamivir and zanamivir. Most of the swine flu cases are mild to moderate but millions of people with rather common problems such as diabetes, asthma or cardiovascular problems.
On Sep 25 the CDC put out a Q&A on Use of Antiviral Medicines for Treatment and Prevention of Flu Among Pregnant Women for the 2009-201 Flu season. http://www.cdc.gov/H1N1flu/pregnancy/antiviral_pregnant_qa.html
Dr. Anne Schuchat the CDC's Director of immunization and respiratory disease urged pregnant women to swine flu shots as soon as they are available, as they may be at greater risk.
For this reason the CDC (www.cdc.gov) advises doctors to give antiviral medicines to pregnant women who have symptoms of Flu. Between April and August 100 pregnant women have been admitted to intensive care and twenty eight have died from swine flu as of the end of August. Visit flu.gov.
On October 2 the EU (EMEA) drug regulators granted a positive opinion for Baxter's Celvapan H1N1 flu vaccine and BAX said that it expected to get a license shortly. The Celvapan vaccine is the first cell culture based,non-adjuvanted vaccine to receive a positive opinion in the European Union. Presently Baxter (www.baxter.com) is confirming the safety and immunogenicity of the vaccine in clinical trials and looking at a one dose regimen.
EMEA gave a green light last week to the first H1N1 swine flu vaccines from Glaxo and Novartis both of which use adjuvants. U.S. drug authorities have approved five vaccines for the U.S. market none of which use adjuvants. More details will be coming on availability and clinical trials over the next few weeks but it is expected that only 3B doses a year will be available which could be inadequate to cover a WW population of 6.8 B people. Pandemic vaccines for H1N1 are currently licensed in Australia, China and the U.S.
The first doses of H1N1 vaccine will arrive next week beginning with 600,00 tubes of Astra Zeneca's (Medimmune) intranasal spray vaccine that was approved on Sep 15,2009. Within two weeks 40-50 million vaccines will be available with initial priority given to healthcare workers, hospitals, children,pregnant women and people who have chronic diseases such as asthma.
On Sep 30 Australia has rolled out a nationwide vaccination program for H1N1 with 5.5M doses sufficient to vaccinate 30% of the population. The cost is expected to be over $100M.
As the flu season officially gets underway next week and vaccines become available it is expected that the response from the general population will be guarded. A recent poll from Harvard School of Public Health found that only 40% of adults were sure to receive the vaccine.There is lot of misinformation and political blogging regarding the flu vaccine so it is important that sources of information come from reliable scientific and medical authorities.

Canada Ranks High for Ease of Paying Corporate Taxes-Report
By Ben Dummett
Canada's efforts to make its corporate-tax regime more competitive are paying off, a new study shows.
Canada's corporate taxes garnered global attention during the U.S. vice-presidential debate, when the Republican candidate Rep. Paul Ryan highlighted them for being so low.
Now, it also appears to be one of the world's easiest tax systems to navigate. PricewaterhouseCoopers, the World Bank and the International Finance Corp. have determined that out of 185 countries around the world, Canada's tax system ranked eighth based on ease of paying taxes for businesses. That's according to a joint study, Paying Taxes 2013.
Canada ranks ahead of several G-8 economies, including the U.K., France, the U.S. and Germany, and moves up several notches from 11th place in the prior year, the study shows.
Canada's federal and provincial governments cut the country's total tax rate to 26.9% in 2011 from 49.1% in 2004 in its ongoing effort to make the country more appealing to businesses both inside and outside the country. That effort is a big reason for its relative easy tax regime today, PwC says.
"With companies (in Canada) benefiting from a special reduced corporate income tax rate, this not only results in a lower Total Tax Rate, but leads to a decline in the number of hours spent by companies to fulfill tax obligations," Jason Safar, a partner with PwC tax services practice said in a release.
The federal and provincial governments are aiming for a combined corporate income tax rate of 25% by the end of 2012.
PwC, the World Bank and the IFC considered three indicators to generate the ranking: the number of tax payments per year; time taken to compile returns and submit tax payments; and companies' total tax liability as a percentage of pre-tax profits.

Will I have to pay tax on my order?
We will only add tax to your order if you are having your items shipped to the states of Indiana (7% of your total order) and New Jersey (7% of your total order). The tax will automatically be added to your order total on your order form during the checkout process. If your items are being shipped anywhere other than the states of Indiana and New Jersey, no tax will be charged.
If your organization is exempt from your states sales tax, please fax a properly completed sales tax exemption to 260-723-4431. Once received, we will remove sales tax from your order and/or mark your account as tax exempt.
If you are not tax exempt in one of the 44 states that collects sales tax (Alaska, Delaware, Hawaii, Montana, New Hampshire, and Oregon do not have consumer-level sales taxes) you will need to pay the sales tax in one of two ways. If your order ships to Indiana or New Jersey, sales tax will be charged to you at the time of order. We will collect and remit sales taxes for these states on your behalf. If your order ships to a state (other than Indiana or New Jersey) that charges sales tax, we will not collect sales tax from you. You may instead be required by the state department of revenue to file and pay a use tax. For more information please contact your state and/or local government.

PORT NOVO, Republic of Benin, 9 October 2012 – Over 200 participants from 14 African countries took part in a workshop on developing agribusiness entrepreneurship and agribusiness value chains as a way of empowering young women and men in Western Africa.
The four-day event, "Women and youth as catalyst for agribusiness development and growth in Western Africa", was organized at the Songhai Centre by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), UN Women, the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), the International Labour Organization (ILO), and the UN Development Program (UNDP).
Participants shared best practices in implementing agribusiness strategies, showcased state-of-the-art processing machinery, established a network of young agro-entrepreneurs in the region to share information and develop a strategic plan of action to promote agriculture as a lucrative business.
Grace Ongile, the UN Women Representative to Nigeria and to the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), said that "when women and youths are empowered there is a strong linkage between not only the growth of the agribusiness sector but also the development of the economy".
Noting that agribusiness is widely acknowledged as a central component of economic growth and sustainable development, especially in emerging markets, Mosunmola Umoru, a representative of women farmers in the region, said: "If we are fully empowered to achieve our dream for those of us who have chosen to pursue a carrier through the agribusiness sector, it will be possible for Africa to attain food security".
