Keep America's Food Safe
Note: This text version is provided to ensure accessibility. A fully-illustrated, PDF version is also available.
The tragic events of September 11, 2001 forever changed our world. They proved to us that the unthinkable could become reality, and that biological, chemical, and radiological threats to our Nation's food supply are plausible. Since the terrorist attacks on America, critical infrastructure protection-including food security-has been of the highest priority at both the Federal and State levels.
Ensuring safe food from production on the farm, within the processing plant, in transportation, storage and distribution, and at the store is a vital function to protect public health.
This guidance is designed to assist transporters, warehouses, distributors, retailers and restaurants with enhancing their security programs to further protect the food supply from contamination due to criminal or terrorist acts. We recognize that not all guidelines will be appropriate or practical for every entity.
General Guidelines
- Identify a food protection management team.
- Develop a comprehensive transportation and storage security plan.
- Assess and identify vulnerable points of contamination. A flow diagram from your point-of-origin to final destination, including all shipping modes/routes, can be a helpful tool in your assessment.
- Define and implement controls to prevent product adulteration or contamination during transportation and storage.
- Have a system in place to identify and track your product during transportation or distribution (e.g., use of tamper-resistant seals corresponding to specific shipments and their documentation, Global Positioning System).
- Verify that contracted transporters (e.g., air, ground, maritime, rail) and storage/warehouse facilities have a security program in effect.
Consider including specific security measures in purchasing and transport contracts and verify that measures are being met.
- Your security plan should include:
- Procedures for the immediate recall of adulterated products.
- Procedures for handling threats to and actual cases of product tampering, as well as an evacuation plan.
- Safe handling, separation, and disposal of contaminated products.
- Methods to check and document condition of product and packaging upon receipt at destination.
- Policy and procedures for rejection of packages and products.
- Procedures for off-hour deliveries.
- Updated list of contacts for local, State, Federal, Homeland Security, and public health officials.
- Procedures to notify appropriate authorities if an event occurs.
- All entry and exit points available to emergency personnel.
- Strategy for communicating with the media (e.g., spokesperson, press statements).
- Train each team member in all provisions of the plan.
- Conduct drills regularly to test and verify the effectiveness of the plan. Review plan policies and procedures on an on-going basis.
Screen and Educate
- Conduct appropriate background and criminal checks and verify references on all potential employees (including contract, temporary, custodial, security, and seasonal workers).
- Any personnel without background checks should be under constant supervision and their access to sensitive areas of the facility should be restricted.
- Provide training for employees on food protection practices and vigilance: how to prevent, detect, and respond to threats or terrorist actions.
- Promote ongoing security consciousness and the importance of security procedures.
- Train appropriate personnel in security procedures for incoming mail, supplies, and equipment deliveries.
- Encourage employees to report any suspicious activities, such as signs of possible product tampering or breaks in the food security system.
- Ensure that employees know emergency procedures and contact information.
- Require a positive ID system for employees and escort visitors at all times in your facility.
- Collect company-issued IDs and keys and change lock combinations when a staff member is no longer employed by the company.
- Secure and restrict access to facilities, transportation vehicles, locker rooms and all storage areas (e.g., with alarms, cameras, locks and fences).
- Designate specific entry and exit points for people and vehicles.
- Secure all access and exit doors, vent openings, windows, outside refrigeration and storage units, trailer bodies, and bulk storage tanks.
- Secure and restrict access to water supply and air flow systems.
- Ensure adequate light in the perimeter areas.
- Handle incoming mail in an area of the facility separate from food handling, storage or preparation areas.
- Monitor employees for unusual behavior (e.g., staying unusually late, arriving unusually early, taking pictures of the establishment, or removing company documents from the facility).
- Purchase all food ingredients, food products, and packaging materials only from known, reputable suppliers. Require letters of guaranty, if possible.
- Require advance notification from suppliers for all incoming deliveries, including shipment details, driver's name and seal numbers.
- Require locked or sealed vehicles for deliveries.
- Do not accept products known or suspected of being adulterated.
- Hold unscheduled deliveries outside the premises pending verification of shipper and cargo.
- Require a supervisor or other agent of the owner to break seals and sign off in the trucker's logbook, noting on the bill of lading any problems with the condition of the product.
- Document the broker, seal numbers, and truck or trailer number.
- Have a system in place to ensure integrity of product when seal will need to be broken prior to delivery due to multiple deliveries or for inspection by government officials.
- Supervise off-loading of incoming products, ingredients, packaging, labels, and product returns.
- Verify inbound trucks for seal integrity, seal number, and shipping location.
- Examine incoming products and their containers for evidence of tampering or adulteration.
- Develop a procedural checklist for incoming and outgoing shipments.
- Check food for unusual odor or appearance.
- Seal all outgoing shipments with tamper-evident, numbered seals and list on shipping documents.
- Be aware of and report any suspicious activity to appropriate authorities (e.g., unscheduled maintenance, deliveries, or visitors should be considered suspicious).
- Trace Forward-Shippers (including operators of federally inspected meat, poultry, and egg processing establishments) and carriers should have systems in place for quickly and effectively locating products that have been distributed to wholesalers and retailers.
- Trace Backward-Retailers, wholesalers, carriers and others who have received products from federally inspected meat, poultry, or egg processing establishments should be able to identify the source of the products quickly and efficiently.
- Investigate threats or reports of suspicious activity swiftly.
- In the event of a food security emergency, contact your local law enforcement agency first.
- Establish procedures to check product load periodically during transit to ensure its integrity has not been compromised. For example, use weigh station stops as an opportunity to check condition of products.
- Establish action plans for emergencies such as breakdowns or being followed, and to report criminal activity.
- Educate drivers to take appropriate precautions while en route (e.g., do not pick up hitchhikers, do not discuss the nature of cargo at stops, be aware of surroundings, and lock vehicle when unattended).
- Require drivers to secure vehicles while en route during breaks, meal stops, overnight stays, etc.
- Hold drivers accountable for ensuring that security measures are taken to prevent contamination of food products.
- Use rail boxcars, trailers, and containers dedicated for food products.
- Secure trucks, trailers, and containers being stored in trainyard for any length of time.
- Inspect locks/seals on boxcars at pull and place.
Retailers & Restaurants
- Prevent unauthorized access to food preparation and storage areas.
- Monitor self-serve areas for evidence of tampering.
- Restrict access to compressor rooms.
- Check public areas where an intruder could remain unseen after work hours.
- Require delivery personnel to sign in a logbook and present positive photo ID.
- Restrict access to chemical storage areas.
- Install backflow devices for water systems.
- Identify alternate sources for power and potable water during emergencies where these systems have been compromised.
- Ensure that trash dumpster lids are locked during non-working hours.
- Restrict access to air circulation systems.
- Keep roof hatches and receiving dock doors locked from the inside.
- Instruct employees on how to handle and report suspicious or threatening telephone calls or customer behavior.

Reality Check: What's in the fiscal cliff bill?
Most taxpayers will pay same tax rates in the new year
MADISON, Wis. - The country has averted the fiscal cliff after some holiday votes in Congress.
WISC-TV took a look at what is in the bill and how it will affect Americans.
In a largely bipartisan vote, Congress averted major tax increases for most Americans and delayed decisions on spending cuts. But there are some pieces people may not know about.
First, most taxpayers will pay the same tax rates in the new year, with the exception of individuals making more than $400,000 a year and couples making more than $450,000.
Congress also permanently fixed what's called the "alternative minimum tax," a 1970s-era definition of the minimum amount a person should be taxed. That's now indexed to inflation, but it could still affect high-income earners.
Congress also moderately increased capital gains taxes to 20 percent and set the new estate tax at 40 percent with the first $5 million of property exempted. Child tax and education credits have also been extended for five years.
But there is one tax that went up on just about everyone. A temporary 2 percent decrease in Social Security taxes deducted from paychecks was not included in the cliff deal, so people can expect all their paychecks to be a bit smaller in 2013.
Meanwhile, the price of milk won't go up. Congress extended subsidies that were scheduled to end and could have jacked the price of milk up to $7 a gallon. Unemployment benefits were extended and doctors will continue to get the same Medicare reimbursements, meaning there will likely be no impact on the number of patients they take.17990916
Also included are tax breaks for film companies, railroads, NASCAR and some green energy companies, including algae growers. The tax breaks aren't new and have been included in prior bills, but they are raising some eyebrows given this high-profile deal.
What this bill didn't do was cut anything. Congress delayed automatic spending cuts to defense and relatively all government programs and also cut no deal to raise the debt ceiling, which the country hit on Monday.
Congress has two months to find a way to pay the country's bills and cut spending or the government will shut down.

Well I finally got hit with the price increase with euk. $44.40 for 44# bags with breeder program. I have been hearing about it and didn't get hit with my last load of food. Called yesterday and found they went up. Considering to switch foods since I feed several dogs to save but not having any luck finding anything comparable for cheaper price. Only way to save I guess would be to buy Ol Roy or diamond. And that will be a cold day in hell before I switch to those. Lol

A lot of people are afraid of heights. Not me, I'm afraid of widths.
I'll keep paying the price. Found loyal maybe a little cheaper but don't if I want to switch. I've always been pleased with euk. Still about $1 a pound. Found loyall at .88/#. Little bit of savings
I am using diamond naturals. It appears to be a high quality food for a good price. You can buy it at tractor supply.

"Save America's Treasures" has been totally eliminated—the largest Federal program supporting preservation of such treasures as the original Star Spangled Banner and George Washington's tent.
65% of Americans don't know what happened at the Constitutional Convention, according to a recent survey by Newsweek.
The "Teaching American History" grants—the largest Federal program supporting history education—have been completely eliminated.
Visits to the Top 20 Civil War battlefields have dropped in half from 1970 to 2009 according to official National Park Service statistics.
40% of Americans can't identify whom we fought in World War II, according to a recent survey by Newsweek.
A quarter of Americans believe Congress shares power over U.S. foreign policy with the United Nations, according to a recent Annenberg survey.
"There is little that is more important for an American citizen to know than the history and traditions of his country," John F. Kennedy wrote in American Heritage.
The "We the People Program," which touched some 30 million students and 90,000 teachers over 25 years, has been completely eliminated.
Two-thirds of Americans could not correctly name Yorktown as the last major military action of the American Revolution, according to a recent national Gallup survey.
The National Heritage Areas and Scenic Byways program, the only major Federal program encouraging visits to historic places, has been completely eliminated in Congressional committee.
The "Long House," characteristic lodging of the Iroquois, also described their political union in which each Iroquois nation remained sovereignty under a common roof which sheltered them all.
More than two decades before the Revolution broke out, a group of Americans voted on a scheme to unite the colonies. For the rest of his life, Benjamin Franklin thought it could have prevented the war. It didn't—but it did give us our Constitution.
Improbable it may seem, but an industrious, aquatic, fur-bearing rodent deserves a share of the credit for the first real effort at unifying Britain's American colonies. Just as we tend to forget that the Americas were discovered as a byproduct of the search for pepper, the reason the beaver's contribution has gone unsung all these years is, in the words of the journalist Henry Hobhouse, "Men have always liked to believe in their own influence."

It's geotagged now, David, in case you want to continue to ground-truth anything. Horizon matches Google Earth's topography pretty well.
Glad you're enjoying it, David. If you thought this was fun, wait until you see Bisbee, AZ. It's twice as large and even more target-rich! Stay tuned...
A remarkable panorama... thanks for a 90 minutes or so worth of entertainment :) I have never been to Ajo, nor have heard of it until this evening. I think now, I could find my way around town even in the dark... again thanks.

CLINTON – Beware of underdogs.
Hattiesburg's Sacred Heart entered Saturday's MHSAA Class 1A-2A-3A state championship soccer match a heavy favorite to defeat South Pontotoc.
The Lady Crusaders won the state title, 4-1, against the North state champion Lady Cougars at Clinton High School footbal stadium, but not without suffering a few bites.
"When you tell us we're the underdog, well, we're going to show you how good we really are," South Pontotoc sophomore goal keeper Breauna Holley said, moments after receiving her silver medal.
Added junior forward Tristan Kitchens, "We gave them our game. They had to play their best. We left everything we had on that field."
Sacred Heart (17-3-1) didn't score its first goal until the 34th minute on a direct kick by Alex Hammett. The shot just grazed the gloved finger tips of a leaping Holley.
"(Holley) always gives it everything she's got," South Pontotoc coach Horace Kitchens said.
Under pressure
South Pontotoc's (14-6) defense and midfield pressured the attacking Lady Crusaders in the first half.
"I thought we could play with them," Horace Kitchens said. "They spread the ball out and moved it to open space. They made some good passes. (Sacred Heart) is the complete, total package."
The Lady Cougars tied the score at 1-1 on a goal by Tristan Kitchens off an assist from Anna Mills in the 51st minute.
"When the ball got to me, I did what I had to do … I got it in the goal," said the younger Kitchens, who scored the game-winner in the state semifinals against Clarkdale.
Sacred Heart went into attack mode down the stretch and took a 2-1 lead in the 69th minute on a goal by Mary Margaret Parker, following a deflection in the goal by Holley, who recorded six saves.
"They kept us pinned up down there and kept pounding the ball in on us," Horace Kitchens said. "When that happens, it's just a matter of time."
Five minutes later, Parker had the assist on Brooke Haddad's goal that gave Sacred Heart a 3-1 lead.
Gabrielle Craig scored the Crusaders' final goal in the 78th minute.

EFF has long advocated for greater vigilance over the potential sale of specially-developed surveillance tools to oppressive regimes that use technology to commit human rights abuses. We want those countries to be held legally accountable for such conduct, and have rallied tech companies to take steps to prevent their products and services from being used for censorship and/or to target and harm activists.
La ciudad de Buenos Aires está en proceso de elegir a su próximo Jefe de Gobierno y a los miembros de la Legislatura. Las elecciones fueron el pasado 5 de julio, cuyos resultados derivaron a una segunda vuelta programada para el 19 del corriente, al mismo tiempo, debutó en la capital Argentina un sistema de votación electrónica denominado Vot.ar, desarrollado por la compañía Magic Software Argentina (MSA).
Buenos Aires is currently in the middle of electing its mayor and city council. With a first round that took place on July 5th, and a second round due on July 19th, the election is the first time Argentina's capital city has used an electronic voting system called Vot.ar, created by local company Magic Software Argentina (MSA).
Despite all of the evidence to the contrary, FBI Director Comey wants you to know that he doesn't want another crypto war. As he said today in hearings before the Senate Judiciary Committee and Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI), he just wants a discussion. Of course, it's hard to have a discussion when you're not listening to anyone else.
Noted eagle eye and EFF Investigative Researcher Dave Maass happened on an interesting item from earlier this week on FedBizOpps, the site for government agencies to post contracting opportunities. The Navy put up a solicitation explaining that the government wants "access to vulnerability intelligence, exploit reports and operational exploit binaries affecting widely used and relied upon commercial software," including Microsoft, Adobe, Android, Apple, "and all others." If that weren't clear enough, the solicitation explains that "the vendor shall provide the government with a proposed list of available vulnerabilities, 0-day or N-day (no older than 6 months old). . . .The government will select from the supplied list and direct development of exploit binaries."

What do we mean when we talk about "Morally Straight"? How do we explain that to our Scouts when our Scouts come from many different backgrounds, family dynamics, and religious beliefs?
Simply put, a Scout is clean in thought, word, and deed.
We had a situation in my troop recently where a concerned parent approached us because her son had been Googling "Questionable" subjects. In the discussion, it became clear that this new Scout had heard some words and ideas from an older Scout and decided to ask google rather than mom and dad what it meant.
Now before we go on, it should be said that the older Scout has had a talking to and this is the message that not only he got, but a great opportunity for me to share "Morally Straight" with the Troop.
You see, as a Scout we make a promise to keep ourselves, among other things, Morally Straight.
That means that we do our very best to stay clean in our thoughts, our words, and our deeds. IF we think nasty thoughts, then we may want to take action on them. IF we say nasty things, then we violate the promises we make in the oath and law. And if we are nasty in our deeds or what we do, we chip away at our character.
Most of what we are talking about is how we act towards women. It is truly the mark of a good man to treat women with respect and dignity. Being morally straight drives how we treat the ladies of our lives. How a man loves and treats his wife is perhaps the most important lesson that he can ever teach his children. How men treat women in general is a real test to what the character is of that man. If we are thinking about women in a less than respectful way, then we will show that in our actions and our words. Women are not "Chicks", they are not objects to be googled. They should be held in high regard and treated well.
So if you find yourself searching the internet with less than moral intentions, or find yourself telling jokes that paint a nasty picture of women, or if you find yourself acting on something that popular culture has deemed acceptable, but you know in your heart that it is not morally straight.. stop.
Never make yourself a liar. You make a promise when you say the Scout Oath. This promise is binding among men of character. You will lose that when you act without being morally straight.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

Someday your life will flash before your eyes. It's your responsibility to make sure it's worth watching!
"All those things bother me: The populism, the lying and the scapegoating and the xenophobia bother me, but then theres a layer of incompetence here. I suppose, in a way, we should be thankful: If he had a coherent ideology, hed probably be more dangerous." P J O'Rourke
Americans draw on a deep well of compassion in times of trouble.
Gun laws: Resist the rush to just do something
Our desire to do something runs deep. We light a candle, leave a flower, give a dollar.
On a larger scale, we organize, mobilize and strategize to solve problems and rush to help those in need.
That rush, however, shouldnt extend to quick fixes and immediate changes to gun laws in Minnesota and elsewhere in the nation in the aftermath of the Connecticut elementary school shootings. Public policy issues as complex as those involved with Americans Second Amendment rights require a thoughtful, deliberative process based on facts.
Some Minnesota political leaders are saying its time for a serious examination of the states gun laws, the Pioneer Press Megan Boldt reported this week. And such study seems a reasonable first step, considering the need to gather information broadly and include a broad range of implications, from mental health issues to school security.
But just days after the tragedy, gun-rights advocates are concerned that hysteria in the aftermath of this shooting will ultimately result in bad laws that do nothing to protect the public, the report said.
Concern about gun laws is justified, and incoming DFL public safety committee chairs were among those speaking out this week.
I think the federal government and every state in this nation has the responsibility to evaluate their gun laws in the aftermath of this horrific shooting, Rep. Michael Paymar of St. Paul said in Boldts report.
Sen. Scott Dibble of Minneapolis was quoted saying that calls from constituents about the issue began after a September incident in a Minneapolis workplace in which a former employee killed six people before turning the gun on himself.
I do sense theres a shifting attitude on this issue, Dibble said. This latest tragedy is just so appalling and heinous, it begs a host of questions about our gun laws and our state of mental health services.
Meanwhile, Republican Rep. Tony Cornish of Vernon Center got attention for a proposal to allow teachers with permits to arm themselves in their classrooms.
Gov. Mark Dayton was among those critical of the concept. The governor, who said he has no plan to present immediate changes in gun laws to the 2013 Legislature, also touched on an important caution for lawmakers: Hes not sure what additional gun regulations the state could impose without infringing on Second Amendment rights to bear arms.
Some have suggested, however, that addressing loopholes that allow people to buy firearms at gun shows without background checks is among measures that might be considered.
Whatever they do, DFL leaders, who won control of the state Legislature in the election just past, will need to craft proposals that will win broad support that includes members of their own party from greater Minnesota and also address deep divisions on the issue among Minnesotans, evidenced perhaps by a spike this week in applications for firearms permits in some metro-area counties.
As they proceed, lawmakers surely will realize that urgency borne by compassion is one thing, but a rush to quick solutions is quite another. Doing something often solves nothing.
Never trust a dog to watch your food!
Seems like my COLORADO CC ,,would not be honored in Conneticut?
Also as per Francos respose ,, the Bill of rights already gives me the right of possesion.. Whats Concealed carry all about,, The concealment??
Ok... I wont conceal it!!
Also note in the Colorado law OPEN carry is permitted in some jurisdictions..
Use to be common place here in Colorado during a Big game season.. Many would wear a side arm when hunting... Go into resturants while it was openly present on their belts??
Dont see that much anymore...
"All those things bother me: The populism, the lying and the scapegoating and the xenophobia bother me, but then theres a layer of incompetence here. I suppose, in a way, we should be thankful: If he had a coherent ideology, hed probably be more dangerous." P J O'Rourke
So,, as Franco pointed out, my gun rights are primarily protected under such laws as the bill of rights constitution, and are enforced by the Supreme Court.
Tell me why then, folks in certain cities have protected themselves in their own homes, and then had to resort to legal representation and in one case had to spend time and money to take the case to the Supreme Court to keep himself from prosecution? (Chicago case)
Explain to me why there is such thing as a "concealed Carry permit required?
Explain to me why some places open carry is permitted, But in others it's against the law?
I f the constitution is truly the law of the land, why the discrepancies???
The President can direct the AG to attempt to stop whatever the President feels he has a right to under Federal Law. Could be Arizona and thier immigartion laws, Co and Wa and thier MJ laws or Mississippi and their Abortion laws. Any challenge to States' Rights can be tied up in the variuos courts for eternity.
Conceal Carry are state laws and not challenged by any Federal Laws except for Gun Free Zones.
However, if Joe Biden and the rest of the Repubs and Dems that wish to infringe on our Rghts to defend ourselves were really serious about preventing violent deaths, maybe they should look at banning booze! Lets ban all booze and offer folks a nice cold Chai tea instead!
Alcohol abuse kills some 75,000 Americans each year and shortens the lives of these people by an average of 30 years, a U.S. government study suggested Thursday. Looks like to me that booze, Big Macs and smokes killed more than twice as many folks than any firearm!
Excessive alcohol consumption is the third leading cause of preventable death in the United States after tobacco use and poor eating and exercise habits.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which published the study, estimated that 34,833 people in 2001 died from cirrhosis of the liver, cancer and other diseases linked to drinking too much beer, wine and spirits.
Another 40,933 died from car crashes and other mishaps caused by excessive alcohol use.
"All those things bother me: The populism, the lying and the scapegoating and the xenophobia bother me, but then theres a layer of incompetence here. I suppose, in a way, we should be thankful: If he had a coherent ideology, hed probably be more dangerous." P J O'Rourke

By Sheena Barnett/NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – High winds and thunderstorms raked Northeast Mississippi on Monday, and an 18-wheeler dangling off a Highway 45 bridge offered testimony to their force.
The truck overturned from the southbound lane of Highway 45 onto Barnes Crossing Road, and the driver walked away unharmed.
Joe Sisk of Shannon, a truck driver for Shannon Steel, said Monday's strong storms were to blame for the accident. "The wind picked me up and just laid me over," Sisk said.
The wind caused damage across the region, with 50-60 mph gusts reported. The Mississippi Emergency Management Agency reported trees down, scattered property damage and random power outages in Lee, Itawamba, Calhoun, Chickasaw, Clay, Tishomingo, Union, Grenada, Lowndes and Tallahatchie counties.
No deaths or serious injuries were reported.
After it tipped over, the cab of Sisk's truck was still on Highway 45, with the trailer bent downward over the bridge and landing on the ground just beside Barnes Crossing Road. Sisk said he was able to climb out of the cab, and none of the windows were broken.
He was hauling car parts from Portland, Tenn., to Shannon when the accident occurred shortly after 1 p.m.
Tupelo police blocked off traffic from around the accident scene. Tupelo Fire Department was also on scene, helping wrecking crews remove the truck from the overpass.
Elsewhere in Tupelo, part of the roof at the Department of Human Services office on Ida Street in Tupelo was blown off, and an outbuilding was blown over at Home Depot in Tupelo.

5.4: Helpful Bacteria
Where does cheese come from?
Bacteria are often used to make cheese from milk. But making foods is not the only beneficial role of bacteria. For example, they also play an essential role in your gut!
Helpful Bacteria
Can we survive without bacteria? Could bacteria survive without us? No and yes. No, we could not survive without bacteria. And yes, bacteria could survive without us.
Bacteria can be used to make cheese from milk. The bacteria turn the milk sugars into lactic acid. The acid is what causes the milk to curdle to form cheese.
Bacteria are also involved in producing other foods. Yogurt is made by using bacteria to ferment milk (Figure below). Fermenting cabbage with bacteria produces sauerkraut.
Yogurt is made from milk fermented with bacteria. The bacteria ingest natural milk sugars and release lactic acid as a waste product, which causes proteins in the milk to form into a solid mass, which becomes the yogurt.
In the laboratory, bacteria can be changed to provide us with a variety of useful materials. Bacteria can be used as tiny factories to produce desired chemicals and medicines. For example, insulin, which is necessary to treat people with diabetes, can be produced using bacteria.
Through the process of transformation, the human gene for insulin is placed into bacteria. The bacteria then use that gene to make a protein. The protein can be separated from the bacteria and then used to treat patients. The mass production of insulin by bacteria made this medicine much more affordable.
Bacteria also help you digest your food. Several species of bacteria, such as E. coli, are found in your digestive tract. In fact, in your gut, bacteria cells outnumber your own cells!
Bacteria are important because many bacteria are decomposers. They break down dead materials and waste products and recycle nutrients back into the environment. This recycling of nutrients, such as nitrogen, is essential for living organisms. Organisms cannot produce nutrients, so they must come from other sources.
We get nutrients from the food we eat; plants get them from the soil. How do these nutrients get into the soil? One way is from the actions of decomposers. Without decomposers, we would eventually run out of the materials we need to survive. We also depend on bacteria to decompose our wastes in sewage treatment plants.
- decomposer: Organisms that recycle nutrients by breaking down dead materials and wastes.
- fermentation: Conversion of sugars, or other organic compounds, to simpler compounds.
- Bacteria can be used to make foods and medicines.

Event set on achievement gaps, March 11
Posted March 4, 2005; 10:19 a.m.
A conference on "School Readiness: Closing Racial and Ethnic Gaps" will be held Friday, March 11 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. in Robertson Hall.
The conference will examine the latest research on problems confronting educators in dealing with achievement gaps among students. It will address issues raised in the February issue of the journal The Future of Children, the first issue to be published by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs and the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C. The issue focuses on the social, emotional and academic skills of children and the factors that determine them.
Participants will include authors and academics, representatives from the country's local departments of education, professional educators, policy analysts and members of educational non-profit organizations.
The conference is open to the public, but space is limited. More information is available online. To register for the conference, contact Maureen Marchetta.

Ok folks. Here's the deal. I've been getting many emails about my items. I still have a slim amount of Speeders and Bombers left. I also have a few of the Episode II AOTC Figures left with the errors and no background inserts.
However, my main concern right now is to get a Toy Fair Vader. I am in need of that one the most. So, the offer stands for anyone who has a Toy Fair Vader is my main priority. I am also still looking for MIMB vehicles (AT-ST, AT-AT, Slave I, etc.) Email me if you have any of this. Thank you.

"The verdant Hawai'i Islands in their mid-Pacific location have for over two centuries played a siren song to travelers from the greatest land mass in East Asia. The earliest Chinese emigrants landed on Hawai'i's shores beginning in 1789, and built the first wooden structures around Honolulu harbor that are the forerunners of the business district of modern Honolulu. In 1879, a 13-year old Chinese boy landed on these same shores, and absorbed enough modern Western (Christian) education in Honolulu's schools to topple the religious altars in his own home, and decades later, as Sun Yatsen, helped overthrow an empire to establish a democracy in his homeland."
Given the prominence of these early connections between Hawai'i and the Chinese, and the composition of Hawai'i's population, it is not surprising that by 1930 UH ranked third among U.S.colleges and universities in the number of Asia-related courses it offered. Today, the university's Center for Chinese Studies housed within the School of Pacific and Asian Studies, is the largest such research and training center outside of Asia.
The Confucius Institute at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa is a part of the university's Center for Chinese Studies. Funded by the Confucius Institute Headquarters (Hanban) of the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China, it is operated jointly by UH Mānoa and the Beijing Foreign Studies University. It was established on November 6, 2006, and tasked with responding to local and national needs in promoting education about Chinese language and culture,

By Ginna Parsons/NEMS Daily Journal
Just call Sandra Gordon the Martha Stewart of Prentiss County. The Booneville mother cooks, sews, keeps a beautiful home, and crafts. Plus, she's a full-time home care nurse for the North Mississippi Medical Center.
"I love cooking," said Gordon, 51. "It makes other people happy and I enjoy seeing that. I like to do fun food. I like to do things that people look at and say, 'I bet Sandra Gordon did that.' And, usually, I'm the one that's done it."
Gordon likes to put pictures of dishes and crafts she's made on Facebook, and she regularly visits Pinterest.
"I get a lot of good ideas from there," she said. "I like people to brag on me. Whenever I've got people coming over, I start planning way ahead and get everything organized. Sometimes, I'm like, 'How am I going to top myself this time?'"
But Gordon doesn't do all the work herself. Her 28-year-old son, Drew, is always by her side.
"He's my third and fourth arms in the kitchen," she said. "Drew helps me with all my parties. I love to entertain, but I always overdo."
Drew also helps take care of the family's pets: Emma, a Schnauzer; Shiloh, a Yorkiepoo; and Mollee, a rescue dog.
"We live in a giant dog house," Gordon said. "But we love them. I even cook treats for them. Emma is diabetic, but luckily I'm a nurse so I can give her her shots."
Even after a full day's work, Gordon still likes to come home and cook a meal for herself and Drew. And every Saturday night, she has her parents – James and Margaret Googe – over for supper.
"I try a new recipe from the Cook of the Week every Saturday night," she said. "I try things and my mama critiques it and tells me what I need to add to it. I'll try new recipes during the week, too, not just on Saturday nights."
Gordon enjoys making it all – desserts, casseroles, appetizers – as long as it's fun.
"I spend a lot of money on food," she said, laughing. "I give to the church and then most of the rest of what I make goes for food. I do go overboard. But what else have I got to spend my money on?"
Do you know a good cook? Send your nominations to Ginna Parsons, Cook of the Week, P.O. Box 909, Tupelo, MS 38802. Or you can fax them to (662) 842-2233 or email them to firstname.lastname@example.com.

In this gigapan there were only 2 musicians who look like 5: 2 singers, 2 keyboard players, and one French horn player. There's one more hidden person. Can you find the image of a living person? Can you take a snapshot of the words, "The Importance of Music" or the light that is above us?
--------Why? This was to show an idea that might be placed on Google Earth:
1. capture performers from inside the group (shown here); and
2. from the audience view (as of Inauguration Day), www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=15374 then
3. add a music file - a link to hear the music at the same time, such as this National Geographic video of a blind musician from Talledega, Alabama, zip code 35160: ngm.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/0403/feature6/multimedia/ft6_vi_01.asx and
4) a still photograph of the musicians....All placed on Google Earth.

School car-exclusion zones
It's not clear from the article whether it is all cars which are excluded from the zone, or if it's just a voluntary/suggested zone for parents dropping their children off at the school. I'd guess it's the latter.
I wonder what difference this would make to Darlington's traffic patterns if it were implemented across all schools in the town?
2 comments:
Could this be the same Northern Echo that only last week published
Darlington - save for the ever-present danger of being wiped out by a half-wit on a bicycle - is these days an entirely pleasant place.
- 10:03 pm, November 23, 2007
- An Inconvenient Truth said...
A pattern is emerging in both many politicians' noises about cycling in Darlington, and the mindless press-release culture that is much of today's local journalism.
The former bask in the glow of "good news" press releases about how wonderful various initiatives are (Darlo Cycling Demo Town, greenest town in UK, kids encouraged to cycle to school, etc etc) - often attracting extra cash from gvt or grant-giving bodies. Our local hacks diligently publish said press releases.
Meanwhile both said politicians and hacks - few of which actually cycle regularly - share the same bigoted view about cyclists, refuse to look at objective evidence about cyclist behaviour (which the Cycling Campaign has been doing in the Ped Heart) as this contradicts said view, and will in the near future, if they have their way, ban us all from the Town Centre.
Their only conundrum - far from considering the fact that pre-Ped Heart cyclists could cycle through the town centre, post a ban we'll be forced on to the dangerous ring road - is how to sell such a state of affairs, in a town that is receiving £1.5m for cycling, without looking like hypocritical rats.
No doubt the half-wit Gadflies of this world will come to their rescue.

I had my first experience handwashing my own clothes--which was not too bad the first time. I also had my first experience going to a Guyanese Baptist Church--which was very cool and very upbeat. Afterwards I met this guy, Lennex, who was from Guyana but is studying to be a forest ranger in Cuba
Another thing that is really interesting about the town we're in, Bartica, is that there are cows and donkeys just roaming around everywhere. Through the roads, on your front stoop, on the beach, just anywhere and everywhere. Also, the town of Bartica is known as "the gateway to the interior" because from the town you can get to any place within Guyana's inland. There is one road in which you can do this from. I went running down it this morning and it was such an awesome run--the jungle on both sides of us and little jungle houses along the way and lots of rolling hills.
So far my time in Guyana has been a very humbling and challenging experience, but also a great one

Recently in the PTCmedia forums a Scouter posted a new topic. It caught my eye, as leadership always does.
His post asked several questions:
"Who makes up your unit's leadership? Is it current parents? the Old Goat or rocking chair Patrol of people that are retired or semiretired?
What unique positions do you have? Do you have any positions outside what the BSA Recommends?
When Do you recruit your leadership? Is it an annual drive. Do you have 2 year terms, unlimited service?
Where do you get your leaders? Where do you meet?
Why do you think your successful recruiting leaders or why you need more assistance getting leaders.
How do you recruit leaders? How were you recruited?
There, that should be enough ideas to get a leader's campfire discussion going."
And here is or was my response…
The leaders in my unit are the Scouts. No we don't have any unique positions. Just your basics…
Senior Patrol leader, he runs the Troop, along with his Assistant Senior Patrol Leader.
Then we have a group of Patrol Leaders. They do most of the work.
We have a Quartermaster, a Scribe, a Historian and of course a Chaplains Aide.
They have 6 month terms and are elected by their peers.
We get our leaders from Gresham High School, Reynolds High School, Dexter McCarty Middle School, and Walt Morey Middle School. We all met through the Troop.
I knew a lot of them when they were Cub Scouts.
I think we are successful because we let the boys lead. They own the Troop. They come up with the plan and they know that they have supportive Adults that are there to guide them.
Then we have a group of Teachers, Coaches, trainers, and Mentors. We typically call them Assistant Scoutmasters. We get them from Wal Mart…. no they are really just Dads that are dedicated.
We make them go to training or they can not play our game.
If they do not go to training they have an opportunity to serve on the Committee, but that means they do not work with the Scouts.Our committee is very supportive also. We have a big committee… a group of parents that want to help, but from the comfort of home. They are not required to get wet, dirty, or learn knots.
Recruiting them has not been a problem, we just ask and show them where they are NEEDED.
They do not have a term limit, we hold on to them as long as they want to stay.
I personally do not recruit leaders, that is the committee's job, but I do make recommendations when it comes to ASMs.
We only have 4 and will only have 4 until we get bigger. We have determined that more is not always better in a boy led troop. Sure we need seat belts, but that is what the committee is for.ASMs focus their energy on coaching and teaching first. They do not make decisions, I believe that is what we call Guided Discovery.
I was recruited by our Chartering Partner, that has determined that they only will have men as the Scoutmaster and ASMs. They believe that our boys need strong male role models.. and well I am a man, so I qualified.I have a strong leadership background and an understanding of the Boy Scout program.They asked and I said yes. It was really that simple.
Oh.. and while we all…Scouts and Adults have fun.. we won't ever be an "Old Goat" Patrol or a "Rocking Chair" Patrol.. Patrols are where the Boys practice the Patrol method. It is where they learn citizenship and practice leadership. We don't do that. We set an example of good judgement, good character, and fitness. We are not a clique, we are Adult leaders in the Troop.
Sorry if they upsets anyone.. but when I was a Scout, I was in the Eagle Patrol, the flaming Arrow Patrol, and the Pedro Patrol.. and adults were not in my patrol then either… and they did not run around with patrol patches on demonstrating their age or position. Just a peeve of mine.
So on this post.. do not leave a comment with me… just post your leadership thoughts in the forum. http://www.ptcmedia.net/index.php?q=node/610. I am curious to read what you all think, or how you answer the questions.
Great topic.
Have a Great Scouting Day!
