The soldier riding this odd-looking bike is getting more out of his effort than a workout. He's also generating electricity. But is it worth all the effort?
News You Can Use
- It is possible to use just about any source of mechanical energy to generate electric current. Flowing water, moving air (wind), or moving bike pedals can be attached to an electric generator. The generator converts the mechanical energy to electrical energy through the process of electromagnetic induction.
- A California rock band named "Ginger Ninjas" used bicycles not only to carry themselves and their equipment on tour. They also used the bicycles to generate all the electricity they needed to perform. Watch this video to see how and why they did it:

Aftergood to speak on science and national security, April 29
Posted April 23, 2004; 03:46 p.m.
A lecture titled "A Debate With the CIA" is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. Thursday, April 29, in 16 Robertson Hall. Steven Aftergood, director of the Project on Government Secrecy for the Federation of American Scientists, will speak.
Aftergood works to reduce the scope of government secrecy, to accelerate the declassification of Cold War documents and to promote reform of official secrecy practices for the federation, which was founded in 1945 by Manhattan Project scientists concerned with issues of science and national security policy. In 1997, Aftergood was the plaintiff in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the Central Intelligence Agency that successfully led to the declassification and publication of the total intelligence budget for the first time in 50 years.
The lecture is sponsored by the and the Program in Law and Public Affairs as part of a series on "Secrecy, Security and Self-Government."

It just won't go away...but the world's ignorant continue to spend time and $$$ at their "fool's folly". The environmental eccentrics seem to always have more of both than common sense.
Climate Conference Ends in Disgrace
Climate negotiators at the most recent conference on global warming were unable to reduce expectations fast enough to match the collapse of their agenda. As the NYT reports, they concluded the 18th Conference of the Parties by committing to more ambitious but unspecified actions to reduce emissions of climate-altering gases.
The only real winners here were the bureaucrats in the diplomacy industry for whom endless rounds of carbon spewing conferences with no agreement year after year mean jobs, jobs, jobs.
The Kyoto protocol, the ineffectual walking dead climate treaty, will lurch on for a few more years, toothless and brain dead.
The rich countries yet again remain vague about what for most developing countries is the only real point of the whole thing, substituting vague pledges of good well for the annual $100 billion in green gold demand by the third world countries whose clueless militancy turned the General Assembly into a pointless sideshow decades ago.
The inexorable decline of the climate movement from its Picketts Charge at the Copenhagen summit continues. The global green lobby is more flummoxed than ever.
These people and these methods couldnt make a ham sandwich, much less save Planet Earth.

Bulldogs belong to a group of dogs know as "brachiocephalic" breeds or "short-nosed" breeds. Since dogs do not sweat to cool themselves as people do they rely on panting to help expel excess heat. The short nosed breeds cooling mechanism and air transfer is much less than other breeds making them very prone to over heating, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke.
Temperament can also play a role in over heating. The very excitable Bulldog, or the under socialized Bulldog that gets nervous or "worked-up" is at a higher risk for breathing problems. Through excessive panting or barking Bulldogs can actually cause edema (swelling) to their throats and larynx causing severe respiratory distress. Start early with your puppy to get them used to different types of situations involving crowds, children, multiple dogs, veterinary hospitals, dog shows, etc. so they accept these as a normal part of their life. Many "old time" Bulldog breeders carry lemon juice to squirt in their dog's mouth to help clear their throats. Lemon juice is actually considered a mucolytic and is excellent at clearing mucus- so this might be worth a try if your pet has problems.
The average trachea size for an adult Bulldogs is size 7 trachea, which is based on the size of the trachea tube used in surgery. The higher number the wider the trachea is. However, it is impossible to determine exact size as many vets try and use a general (size 7 or 8) tube when in fact maybe a 9 would have fit fine. However when they use smaller ones it's usually do to a small throat. Below is size examples of trachea tubes. Thank you LIZ for the picture.
Please always use a Bulldog experienced vet. It's most important to do so, Trachea's in Bulldog are tricky, and one should be very well experienced when dealing with Bulldogs and surgery.
There is many stories of people using a non experienced vet with Bulldogs and that end up with real problems, even fatalities!
One must only exercise there Bulldog to their level of comfort. Some Bulldogs are great, they can do anything, anytime, others must limit activity. We seem to be finding better throats in Bulldogs in this day and time vs. a decade ago.
In certain individual Bulldogs the breathing problems are more pronounced and is known as "Brachiocephalic Syndrome." The first component of this is pinched nostrils (stenotic nares). The openings to the nostrils in these dogs can be no more than slits. Air sounds can frequently be heard with each breath. If you pinch your own nostrils and try to take a deep breath you will experience a feeling of negative pressure down near your larynx or voice box. This negative pressure does several things. It stretches or pulls on the soft palate which is the soft tissue just behind the hard palate (hard roof of the mouth). This condition is known as an elongated soft palate. These dogs will make excessive snorting or snoring noises. Often you can feel strong vibrations when lightly cupping your hand over the underside of their necks. Sometimes too, they will regularly spit up white frothy foam that becomes trapped in their throats. Pinched nostrils and elongated soft palates often go together and can only be helped by surgery. The nostrils can be opened with a "wedge resection" to remove tissue and create a wider opening. This can be done with very little scarring and the sooner it is performed on puppies the better. The soft palate is best shortened using a C02 laser. Lasers cause less swelling, bleeding, and pain allowing the pet to be discharged the same day. The benefits of these surgeries can be dramatic, and are greater in younger animals as compared to a dog that has been having problems for several years.
Two other components of the syndrome are everted laryngeal saccules and a hypoplastic trachea. The saccules are located down within the openings of the trachea or windpipe. The negative pressure formed higher in the airways causes a sac on either side to get sucked out into the airway with every breath. These appear almost as little balloons and further occlude the airflow. These dogs are usually the ones that have had ongoing problems left untreated. They tend to have trouble breathing with the least amount of activity or excitement. The saccules should be excised (cut out) to correct the condition. The last feature of the syndrome known as hypoplastic trachea simply means a very small trachea. Nearly all Bulldogs have a smaller diameter trachea (windpipe) than other dogs.

Coach (COH) is the worst performing stock in the S&P 500 this year–and Credit Suisse doesn't see much hope for its shares despite the beaten down luxury retailer making all the right moves.
Credit Suisse analysts Christian Buss and Phan Le share their hopes and fears for Coach:
We now believe that Coach is on the right track following introduction of its brand transformation initiative, but remain concerned with respect to shares, given our view that earnings power will be delayed into late FY16 at the earliest. We are impressed by Coach's plans to: 1) close 70 underperforming stores; 2) roll out a new store design concept and devote more resources to flagships; 3) create brand presence in department stores; 4) focus and intensify its marketing message; 5) reduce flash sale events (to 3 per month from 3 per week); and 6) improve product and seasonal flow in the outlet channel. We view these initiatives as necessary for long-term brand survival among increasing competition but expect returns to be delayed in late FY16, suggesting a multiple discount relative to peers remains in order…
Outlet And Full Price Store Balance Still A Cause For Concern. We believe Coach's outlet business has reached a saturation point, likely weakening brand image in North America and adding to the deterioration of full price sales. Coach reiterated they believe they have the right mix of outlet versus full price stores and plan to close a moderate net total of 5 outlets in FY15 (opening 10 duel gender outlets while closing 2 locations and consolidating 13 men's outlet locations into women's stores). While they are invested in improving product (less logos and more leather) and limiting promotions to increase average transaction dollars, we view the surplus of outlet locations as dilutive to the brand and remain cautious on this strategy going forward…
We reiterate our Neutral rating, lower our FY15 EPS estimate to $2.05 from $2.84, and our TP to $30 from $39.
Shares of Coach have gained 0.3% to $35.18 at 12:46 p.m. today.

I travel to Istanbul often. I have to say this is one of the best places I have stayed. The heat in the room was excellent, double doors so the room appears very safe it has a very heavy front door and the owners travel business is just next door if you need help. The location is great, about a 10 minute walk to İstiklal Avenue, though it is an uphill walk, good exercise.
I explored this neighbourhood and found the on Sunday, one of the largest fruit and veg markets I have ever been to was at my door step. Really good restaurants around the corner and small grocery stores next door if you need a last minute item.
The host was the best part, Maria is kind and goodhearted and very helpful.
The room also has a working table, and a bathroom which are great. As a travel photographer I really enjoyed my stay. No frills here but great, practical place with a great location, you can use it as a base for travelling or just stay and hang out in Istanbul. Highly recommended.
Hello Mary and Ferruh,
We liked it very much in Instanbul, had a very nice trip thanks to your enthusiasm and beautiful apartment.
We will definitely return!
regards, Dick & Jet
The apartment was very convenient and near to taksim but neighborhood was little strange but it is very close to police that make it safe, the house was reconstructed and good looking, the house owner was kind and they helped us mush to feel ourselves like home, the room was clean, comfortable and cozy , good place for a city like Istanbul
Sehr nette Gastgeber! Das Hotel hat eine sehr gute Lage und die Zimmer waren auch in Ordnung!
Wir haben 7 Nächte hier verbracht. Die Lage ist sehr zentral und die öffentlichen Verkehrsanbindungen sind sehr gut. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Zimmer und die Dusche waren nach meiner Einschätzung kleiner als angegeben. Herr Ferruh war immer sehr freundlich zu uns und bot uns immer seine Hilfe an. Für alle Istanbul-Besucher, die öffentliche Verkehrsmitteln (was zu empfehlen ist) benutzen wollen, empfehle ich, eine Istanbulkart zu kaufen (erhältlich an Kiosken, wo Akbil oder Istanbulkart angegeben ist). Damit kann man nur für 1.95 TL (ca. 40 Cent) Busse, Fähre, Metro benutzen.
Madame, Nous aurions été enchantés de faire votre connaissance, mais cela n'a pas été le cas.
Nous aurions pu vous dire que le logement attribué n'était pas celui que nous avions retenu sur internet.
L'annonce concernait une suferficie de 25m2 alors que celui que nous avons eu faisait environ 15m2.
Une cuisine qui ne sert à rien, pas de lampes de chevet, l'éclairage du plafond ne suffisant pas pour lire. quant à l'environnement extérieur, il ne nous donnait pas envie d'ouvrir nos fenêtres. Compte tenu de ces éléments le prix ne parait pas justifié. Points posifits les personnes qui nous ont accueilli se sont avérés très charmantes. Depuis que nous voyageons c'est le première fois que le logement proposé ne correspond pas à l'offre. Je m'adresse à windu qui encaisse des prestations pour promouvoir des logements afin que de telles publicités mensongères disparaissent.

Shahin and his Partner were very welcoming and friendly (offering tea when I arrived) and for one person the flat is spacious and the bed comfortable, the bathroom space is tight but the shower was efficient and hot. There is also a small kitchen area. The Wifi worked well but there appeared to be only 2 channels on the tv really not a problem this though. The apartment was also quiet during the week (I stayed for 6 nights) but not so quiet on Friday or Saturday when there is some noise from the street outside... But it is certainly much quieter than Taksim or Istiklal area if you value quiet.
The apartment is about a 5-10 minute walk down from Istiklal St which is a long lively shopping st which buzzes until well after midnight crowded with people as does Taksim Sq above Istaklal. Tarlabasi Boulevard a rather unappealing street also runs down from Taksim to close to the apartment. If not taking a taxi or bus to get to the apartment it is better to turn down from Istiklal and go under an underpass which brings you under Tarlabasi Boulevard and into a tight little knot of streets where the flats are. There are some derelict buildings nearby which seems to be typical of Istanbul but could be off-putting. These narrow streets are also not very well lit at night time. I would suggest to anyone travelling to Istanbul that if you are not good at walking you must think of either using local transport or stay close to the places you wish to visit (undoubtedly the Palace and Mosques in Sultanahmet) - Istanbul is full of steep hills and footpaths are often rough or broken, you really need to be a good walker. I walked everywhere and ended up exhausted climbing the hills. I suggest that you really research and get to know Istanbul and where you are intending to stay before you visit. Otherwise I wish you a happy stay in an amazing and very different city (to Western eyes) with infinite appeal.
It was a pleasure for us to join nicoleport.
Very friendly, helpfull and warmhearted hosts. Without Maria and her family it would not have been this great visit in istanbul we had, cause they helped us already on our arrival when i noticed that my lugage was transposed.
We enjoyed it very much.
Nice to meeting you. It has not been our last stay in istanbul.
Kind Regards.
The room was nice and Maria and her staff were really very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately we couldn't use the wonderful roof top terace because it was too cold and windy.

Family thanks doctors for 'blizzard baby'
Pre-holiday storm last year nearly curtailed time-sensitive fertility procedure
A Middleton family is celebrating their first Christmas with their baby thanks to what they said was above and beyond the call of duty by doctors at the UW Generations Clinic.
A year ago Friday a pre-holiday storm dropped 20 inches of snow on the Madison area, making travel difficult and knocking out power to thousands residents. And while the typical occupations that have to work through snowstorms are mail carriers, police, firefighters, reporters and snow plow drivers, doctors at the Generations Clinic joined those ranks in 2012 as they joined forces to deliver a "blizzard baby."
Julie Chang and Tony Chang set out on the journey to have a baby in early December of 2012 and needed to have an egg harvest done on Dec. 20th. Generations staff informed them of the impending storm and suggested they may want to stay at the hotel across the street.
"Sure enough snow was coming down very heavily, so by morning there were just huge drifts in the parking lot," recalled Julie Chang.
The Changs discovered they weren't the only ones staying at the hotel.
Dr. Christina Broadwell said there was a window of just hours to perform the procedure, so she and other staff members stayed as well.
"The entire hospital was shut down so we had to sort of make an appeal to say that we had to have our clinic open that day in order to perform that procedure," said Broadwell. "I think it was the first time in my career I've ever had to do that."
Five days later, doctors once again opened the clinic to implant baby Chang on Christmas Day. Nine months later the Changs got their gift: on Sep. 23rd they welcomed Matthias into the world.
Matthias Chang adds a fourth stocking to the Chang mantle, joining Natalie Chang, Corrinne Chang and David Chang, the children the Changs adopted before attempting fertility treatments.
"With each of our children we have very unique adventures and misadventures that happened with each of their adoptions," said Julie Chang. "So when all of this happened with the snowstorm and Christmas Day, that seemed right on track with our family experience."
As Matthias Chang prepares to experience his first major snowfall, the Changs said they're thankful for a staff that went above and beyond.
"I want to emphasize how grateful we are," said Julie Chang. "Not just with the medical treatment but literally there were nursing staff out there helping us dig our car out from the hotel after the procedure."
"I think I can see how it can feel [above and beyond] at times, but other times it just seems so very natural that that is of course what we would do because you can't sacrifice that much work and that much time when there's that much on the line," said Broadwell. "You have to do what you have to do to make that happen."
The Changs said this Christmas they're incredibly thankful.
"The whole experience of the pregnancy was just really just such a miracle and we are extremely grateful for this opportunity," said Julie Chang.
While Broadwell said they hadn't done anything like this before, they're watching the weather again this weekend. They have three embryo implantations scheduled for Sunday.

I can't wait to have all the bounty hunters in 12" inch displayed. I will definately be buying him. Whats your thoughts on the figure and will you pick him up?

South Sudan: Annual floods herald a new approach to aid
Akon Achien Achuil's ability to provide for her family was washed away when flooding wiped out crops and livestock in Gogrial West County, Warrap state, in September.
"Even the sorghum, groundnuts and simsim (sesame) that we had harvested before flooding will be destroyed because we don't have a place to dry them," she said.
The fear of looming food shortages is very real for the nearly 25,000 flood-affected people across Warrap state in northern South Sudan. In the immediate term, Akon is worried that flooding may trigger disease outbreaks such as malaria, diarrhoea and respiratory tract infection.
"We need food and other assistance such as plastic sheets, mosquito nets and blankets for ourselves and our children," she told an inter-agency humanitarian team that was assessing the impact of the floods on her village.
Improved coordination gets assistance to where it's needed
By early November, severe seasonal flooding had affected nine of the 10 South Sudanese states. Aid organizations have reached about 138,000 of the estimated 223,000 people in need, providing them with food, medicines and basic household supplies.
Their work has been aided by access to dedicated helicopters. These assets have been useful in a country where 60 per cent of roads become impassable during the rainy season. Aid agencies took other steps to prepare, explained Vincent Lelei, the Head of OCHA's South Sudan office.
"Based on lessons learnt for the 2012 flood-season experience, aid agencies improved their preparedness by pre-positioning relief stocks during the dry season earlier this year," he said.
"But more importantly, the South Sudanese Government has been proactive in its response. They established a disaster relief fund and a senior-level task force."
On 19 October, the Government declared parts of South Sudan disaster zones and appealed to the international community for humanitarian aid. This came a month after it allocated 7 million South Sudanese pounds (about US$1.6 million) to flood response.
A chance to strengthen resilience
Affected communities, the Government and humanitarians all agree that more needs to be done to reduce the impact of these types of predictable hazards in the long term.
"After the rainy season, I intend to relocate to higher ground in Alueel village where it does not flood easily," said Akon. "But even so, I will need tools to open water ways and construct dykes around my homestead to protect it in coming years."
Her wish chimes with that of the Government, which has promised to address the immediate needs of affected people, while strengthening disaster management capacity at the community and national level.
Flooding is a seasonal phenomenon in South Sudan. In 2014, humanitarians will work with the Government to strengthen its disaster management capacity, while working with communities to build their resilience to future threats.
Aid agencies plan to pre-position more emergency stocks in more locations. They will work with the Government to encourage and support communities to resettle to higher and safer ground, or to build dykes around their homesteads to minimize the impact of seasonal flooding.

By Sid Salter
In the decade or so that I've written about the fact that Mississippi fails to collect sales tax on online purchases, three things have become painfully evident.
First, there's the shocking news that people who aren't currently paying sales tax on their online purchases really don't want any change in the status quo. Second, most of the people in the first category have convinced themselves that online sales taxes would represent "new" taxes that they didn't previously owe.
Third, Mississippi's political appetite for any "new" taxes is non-existent.
Still, the fact is that Congress is looking seriously at the Marketplace Fairness Act, a measure which would empower states to tax out-of-state online purchases. The bill would exempt small businesses that earn less than $1 million annually from out-of-state sales.
Proponents of the legislation say the new law would balance an unfair advantage that online retailers currently enjoy over traditional bricks-and-mortar stores. But buyers, on the honor system, are supposed to pay the sales taxes they owe in the states where sales taxes are applicable. Unfortunately, the vast majority of online buyers simply don't. Therefore, if two next-door neighbors in Pontotoc buy the same hammer – one online from another state and one in a Pontotoc store – they both owe Mississippi sales tax of 7 percent for their hammer.
The difference is the state of Mississippi makes the Pontotoc store the tax collector for the hammer purchased directly. Online sales taxes aren't "new" taxes because Mississippi has been collecting sales taxes on hammers since 1932. What would be "new" is that there would be uniform collection of existing sales taxes from everyone.
The Congressional Research Service cited federal estimates of $4.1 trillion in online sales in 2010, which amounts to 16.1 percent of all U.S. sales – an annual $303.4 million in uncollected Mississippi sales tax revenues.
The fact is that collecting online sales tax is simply full enforcement of a tax that Mississippi purchasers have owed since 1932. Many of the major online sellers like Amazon and business lobby voices like the National Retail Federation are backing the Marketplace Fairness Act.
Impatient with congressional efforts that continually kick the can of online sales tax collection down the political road, many states are trying to enact online sales tax collection efforts on their own – particularly larger states where the revenue stakes are much higher than in Mississippi.
It would seem that in a conservative state like Mississippi, efforts to make every taxpayer pay the taxes they owe would be greeted with applause. But in the decade that I've watched this issue evolve – or perhaps fester is more descriptive term – that's just not been the case.

Banana lovers have a whole new reason to wake up with a smile, thanks to these baked doughnuts. Using Bisquick Complete pancake & waffle mix speeds up the prep time for an any-day-of -the-week treat.
These doughnuts are also delicious with a simple sprinkle of powdered sugar instead of the glaze.
Keep extra bananas in the freezer so you have them on hand for making these doughnuts and other recipes. The peel will turn brown, but the inside will be fine.

Flatbed Scanner
Posted 10 February 2012 - 05:31 PM
1)I wonder what how others feel about this? Does it really matter if I use a flatbed or all in one?
2) can anyone recommend one that is compatible with a Mac?
I did buy an Epson Perfection V300 but it did not work well and I had to use Image Capture which I guess is a "work around" to get the Epson to work with my Mac. The scanner never scanned correctly and I returned it. Epson blamed it on the Mac Image Capture.
Posted 10 February 2012 - 05:49 PM
HTH a little bit. Sorry I couldn't be of more help to you!
Posted 10 February 2012 - 06:17 PM
Most scanner manufacturers websites should have Mac (and Windows) based drivers available for the model of scanner you have. If your mac is having trouble scanning the images, just pop over and make sure you have the latest driver. Usually found on the support pages.
I know Macs are pretty good at picking up the correct drivers as soon as you plug your equipment in, but it could be that the driver is corrupted somehow.
A bit naughty of Epson to blame the Apple software. Their product should work on either platform!
I Love My Mac Because All My Friends Live In It!

Sara, I think an all-in-one scanner might be the kind that is a scanner/copier/fax all in one machine? Not sure, but I think so.
Thanks, Marilyn! Actually mine is an All-In-One then and it is a flatbed scanner - it's great!

My Gallery I scrap with Photoshop CS6.
Posted 11 February 2012 - 01:33 PM
Dave, I did have Epson support on the phone 3 different times....about an hour each time. We had the latest driver downloaded ( 3 times) and since the scanner still do not scan well, by that I mean it scanned the pictures funny. It cut off half the pic or a corner of the pic. The scanner is made to scan 4 photos at once and I could not do that. I could scan 2 pics, but part of the pic was missing. So frustrating and then to tell me the problem is with Image Capture just added to the frustrations. I was told to check the settings in Image Capture on my Mac or or Apple said they would do it for about $70.00.
My solution was to return my scanner and now I am starting over.
Any other suggestions for a flatbed scanner for my Mac Book Pro?? Anyone??
Thank you so much! Laurie

Reviews for this host's other properties
Najka was very warmly to waiting us and give good advises. Polished she or her mother visited to us to see if everything was ok. Place was nice and we can recommend Najka to others.
We can highly recommend this small but perfectly fitting studio. It has got all that you need for a nice stay in Dubrovnik. As a plus Naijka gave us very detailed and useful information where to go and what to do (beaches, shopping, sights etc..). So, thanks again to Naijka: We really felt welcome!
Heiko & Carola
The apartment is small, especially the kitchen area, but it met our needs. It was very clean. The garden is beautiful and there is a table and seating under a vine covered pergola. A twenty minute walk gets you to the walls of the old town.
Najka was very helpful and I would certainly recommend the accommodation.
Very nice hosts, everything was fine and we felt comfortable.
Very helpful and kind host, give us a lot of informations about Dubrovnik. Great flat, close to the beach and old city. Magnificent views :] I will always recommended this place. Big thank you Najka from all of us :)
We were really well received by Najka and his mother. The studio is fully functional and overlooks a beautiful garden. We were quiet while being close enough to the old town. Thank you again for everything. Peter and Regula
Nous avons été super bien reçus par Najka et sa mère. Le studio est vraiment fonctionnel et donne sur un merveilleux jardin. Nous étions au calme tout en étant assez près de la vieille ville.
Merci encore pour tout.
Peter et Regula
Fantastic studio apartment, very sweet decor and good facilities. Terrace was the highlight- we spent our breakfast and siesta outside. Free wine included as well as an introduction to the city and local recommendations including the 24 hr bakery. Susannah
The Dubrovnik accommodation was ideally located. Only a twenty minute walk to the old town, just five minutes to the beach.

Nothing Ventured… Nothing Gained..
That is pretty much how the advancement program in Boy Scouts works. If you don't do the work..you don't get the rank. It's that simple. Unlike advancing in Cub Scouts where the Group works together to achieve, Boy Scouts is different in that it challenges the Scout to do the work, not necessarily on his own, but with out the out stretched hand of the Den leader planning advancement activities and working toward a rank by the end of the year.
In a Scout Troop opportunities are given for Scouts to succeed by participating and taking advantage of those opportunities. The requirements ask the Scout to participate, learn, take an active role in leadership, skills development, and living the Scout Oath and Law. It is up to the Scout to decide what that level of activity looks like and it is up to the Scout to decide when and where he wants to do the work.
The other night, we did something in our Troop that we rarely do. We dedicated an entire meeting to advancement. To provide an opportunity for Scouts to get over the hump to the next rank if they were struggling a bit. To provide a forum for the Scouts to work on a skill together and have an Assistant Scoutmaster on hand to sign off. Once again, the determination of many Scouts proved to make the night a success.. in fact every Scout, and it was the majority, that participated moved many steps closer to the next rank. And with the exception of a couple Boards of Review, are ready to advance.
We thought this was important entering Summer camp. Summer Camp always offers great opportunities to work toward advancement, but we never push the Scouts to crank out Merit badges, we want them to have a great week of fun and adventure. So by front loading many of the "Trail to First Class" skills and requirements, we assisted in moving our Scouts just that much closer to a rank that they can achieve over the summer.
I was satisfied in the way it turned out, and it reinforced how the advancement process works in Boy Scouts. We will support a Scout and do our best to help, but we will not do the work for them. I think they understand.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

Having played more than 470 matches the All Blacks have scored many noteworthy tries and here we focus on the best.
Great tries:
1960: Peter Jones vs South Africa
The only try in a famous 11-5 win over the touring Springboks, Jones also made headlines with his use of language in a post-match interview.
1971: Ian Kirkpatrick vs British and Irish Lions
Ian Kirkpatrick, one of Poverty Bay's favourite sons, thundered down Lancaster Park swatting off Lions to score one of the great All Black tries.
1987: John Kirwan vs France
John Kirwan's try in the Rugby World Cup 1987 final vividly illustrated the style and strategies of his All Blacks side.
1995: John Lomu vs England
The try which has come to most exemplify the extraordinary impact Jonah Lomu had on the 1995 World Cup came after just two minutes in the semifinal against England in Cape Town.
1997: Christian Cullen v Australia
Christian Cullen's astonishing try at Carisbrook against the Wallabies in the Tri-Nations test of 1997 was but one of many remarkable aspects of what was a somewhat freakish test.
2000: Jonah Lomu v Australia
Jonah Lomu the "rhinoceros in ballet shoes" powered along the touchline to score the winning try against the world champion Australians in front of the biggest crowd in rugby history.
Tries against the All Blacks
The All Blacks have scored many great tries but possibly the greatest of all time came against the men in black.

AUSTIN, Texas -- The Texas football recruits in attendance for the Longhorns' 48-45 loss to West Virginia got some extra entertainment out of their night, courtesy of the Mountaineers. Late in the game Saturday night, a feud began between West Virginia players, including quarterback Geno Smith, and a group of Texas commits and recruits. West Virginia QB Geno Smith had four touchdown passes vs. Texas but also lost two fumbles. "Geno and a few other guys, they were turning around and punking us. I've never seen that before," said Texas wide receiver recruit Jacorey Warrick (Houston/Cypress Falls). Warrick said he believed the war of words began after Smith fumbled in the fourth quarter, his second of the night. During games, visiting Texas recruits and their family and friends are seated on the east side of DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium, behind the visiting team's bench. When Smith returned to the sidelines, the Heisman Trophy frontrunner heard some jeers from the fans seated directly above him. "There was this one dad who was yelling, "Geno! Geno!" after the turnover," Warrick said. "He was like, 'Way to handle the ball, Geno!' That's when it kind of started. Geno turned around and said, 'Have you ever played football before?' It was crazy." Some trash-talking between the recruits and West Virginia players ensued. "The West Virginia players were talking trash and we were talking trash back," said Katy (Texas) Seven Lakes offensive line recruit Caleb Benenoch. "They were yelling, throwing the horns down, talking a lot of smack." No Texas recruit was more vocal during the feud than A'Shawn Robinson. The Fort Worth (Texas) Arlington Heights defensive tackle commit was sitting in the front row on Saturday night and had plenty to say to Smith. "West Virginia was talking noise to us, and A'Shawn was defending Texas," said Texas commit Jake Raulerson (Celina, Texas/Celina). Before attending Saturday's game, Robinson had raised some doubts about his pledge to Texas after taking an official visit to Florida State last month. When sitting among his fellow commits, though, he made his allegiances clear. "That's a good sign," Raulerson said. "He said 'Geno, I'll see you next year.' He was having a great time. I asked him if he was going to come to Texas. He said, 'Yeah, don't worry about it.'" Unfortunately for Robinson, Smith is a senior. He and the Mountaineers got the last laugh and earned the victory, but they didn't earn many admirers among the section of Texas recruits. "Not a fan of west Virginia's players, no class at all, almost embarrassing," Texas receiver commit Jake Oliver (Dallas/Jesuit) wrote on his Twitter account after the game. Added Warrick: "I didn't like it. Of all the games I've been to at any school, we usually sit behind the visiting team. If something is said to them, they usually don't respond or anything. That kind of caught me off-guard." Though several recruits said they thought the back-and-forth jawing was harmless and funny, the future Longhorns now have some extra motivation when Texas travels to West Virginia in 2013.
Thug pos
o they mad lol
apparently Texas is a really fragile fan base
had a great time in austin tho
I can't believe I read that whole thing waiting for the "funny" moment
Raulerson said. "He said 'Geno, I'll see you next year
His heisman campaign is just as political as it is play-based. I feel like character is at least a little bit of the equation
Cam wasn't totally unlikable. He always had a huge smile on his face and clearly enjoyed the shite out of playing every week.

The Business of Isness: What Is Is and Isn't
"Our principle criticism of modern philosophy and science is that they venture directly or indirectly onto planes beyond their compass and operate without regard to indispensable data." This statement should qualify as a truism, but apparently it is not. I suppose the reason for this is that the materialist simply doesn't know what he doesn't know, and when he is reminded of this fact, his only defense is that his interlocutor is "anti-science," or "anti-reality," or even "hateful."
One must always begin somewhere. But that doesn't mean one must end there. However, in the case of materialism, it is very difficult, if not impossible, to escape its initial assumptions -- assumptions that are of course not warranted or justified by the philosophy of materialism.
In other words, matter cannot say "only matter exists," for as soon as it says so, it has surely transcended matter -- unless we radically redefine what matter "is." But in order do this, one must also redefine what "is" is, because the materialist's first assumption is that matter is reality. Therefore, in order to be consistent, he would have to say something along the lines of "matter contemplating itself is reality" (and vice versa, since "is" is a statement of equivalence).
Here again, Schuon could hardly be more clear: "rationalism itself starts fairly and squarely with a 'dogma,' namely, its gratuitous axiom that nothing exists except what is supplied to us by the reason in service to its sensible perceptions."
At One Cosmos, we always try to be fair to our ideological adversaries -- fairness meaning to swiftly give them what they deserve, right in the nuts -- so I'd like to know just what about Schuon's formulation is unfair? How could anyone in good faith object to it, unless they are so dogmatic that they don't even understand that they have a dogma? For materialism isn't special. It is a philosophy just like any other, only much worse.
Here is Schuon's next premise, which again strikes me as unassailable, whatever your belief system: "Whoever wants to be a realist must resign himself to the obvious fact that all thought has to start from an initial premise, which cannot come from thought itself but which must include an element of certainty whose soundness thought cannot delineate."
To my knowledge, Schuon never mentioned Gödel's theorems in his writings, but he is essentially affirming the identical truth -- which only proves that you needn't be a genius logician to arrive at principial truth and therefore reality. You must only think to the end (and therefore beginning) of thought; or to the Alpha and OMega, if you like.
Anti-religious human beastlings routinely -- again gratuitously -- conflate the supernatural and the irrational, which only results in the collapse of the vertical, which is man's proper home. It is his true environment, as he is perfectly capable of living in a variety of geographic climates by taking the climate with him, so to speak. For example, if it is too cold outside, I simply turn up the heat and recreate a mediterranean climate indoors.
But what about the subjective climate? A culture is the creation of a human climate. Thus, we have "climates of opinion" and such. For example, the liberal climate of opinion makes it difficult utter a simple truth, such as "Ted Kennedy was a drunken, monstrous, sleazy, and misogynistic sexual predator." Such things are only permitted "outside" official liberal reality.
Culture operates exactly like the unconscious mind, in that it defends its "truths" with great force and punishes transgressors ("political correctness" is simply the sum total of leftist defenses against reality). The purpose of a psychological defense mechanism is actually to prevent the truth from even being seen or known to begin with. You know what they say: out of mind, out of insight. If the truth does accidentally come out, that signifies a failure of the defense mechanism, and therefore the need for even more repression, splitting, or denial.
This is why the left treats a Rush Limbaugh the way it does. First of all, it is a "mistake" that he ever came into existence to begin with, that is, a failure of the various layers of liberal ideological defense mechanisms, i.e., media, academia, entertainment, etc. But now that he does exist, he is treated exactly like an unwanted symptom of a neurotic person.
More generally, this is why Obama -- and the left in general -- simply cannot function without enemies, whether the CIA agents who protect us from terror, insurance companies, doctors, whatever. The point is that having enemies is not an effect, but a cause. The whole point is to have enemies to project into and therefore preserve their illusions -- again, exactly like a neurotic person.
I remember when I realized this about a certain person in my life who always likes to argue. Eventually it dawned on me that the arguing actually had no point. Rather, it was the point. It was just a way to manage his own psychic life. Truth was utterly beside the point. Or, one might say that the energy produced by arguing was the "emotional truth" of the situation.
It is actually not uncommon to encounter patients with this problem. To use a gustatory analogy, they will do anything with the truth you give them but swallow it -- play with it, spit it out, throw it back at you, bite it, turn their head away from it, ask for dessert first, etc.
Schuon had nothing personal against Descartes in particular or the French in general. Nevertheless, he points out that "the rationalism of a frog living at the bottom of a well is to deny the existence of mountains: perhaps this is 'logic,' but it has nothing to do with reality." To think otherwise is to put Descartes before 'da hearse, for it is a philosophy of death -- death to the soul and death to the intellect. This is the kind of climate change that actually does kill man -- vertical man, or man-as-such.
Although we cannot directly know the thing-in-itself, we can know that we don't know it, which is certainly good enough for me, for to know that fact is to have transcended it, and to have participated in absoluteness. In other words, to know one is relative is a to have already transcended relativity, at least to a degree. Thus, "to declare that our perceptions fail to convey the whole object amounts to saying that things are not perceived by the whole Subject." Therefore, it is just another way of acknowledging that we are not God. But we knew that already. It's the atheists who don't know.
It reminds me of how human beings are able to recognize faces that they have never actually seen. I think I'm remembering the experiment correctly, but researchers demonstrated that human beings are able to see the profile of another person they've never seen before, and match it up with the frontal view (and vice versa). The point is that even a very partial view is able to reveal the totality. We can see a circular object approaching us, and do not have to view it from every conceivable angle to know it is a sphere. Indeed, man would be paralyzed if he had to do this in order to act or think.
The reason why this works so smoothly is that the world is in the soul, not vice versa. We are actually at a higher dimension than the world, so we have no problem embracing the lower dimensions. We live in eternity, so we know time; our minds are infinite, so we know finite space; we live in truth, so we know facts; etc.
Now.... now I think I'll stop for today. That should be enough to keep you rascals busy 'til tomorrow.

A vaginal fistula is an abnormal opening that connects your vagina to another organ, such as your bladder, colon or rectum. Your doctor might describe the condition as a hole in your vagina that allows stool or urine to pass through your vagina.
Vaginal fistulas can develop as a result of an injury, a surgery, an infection or radiation treatment. Whatever the cause of your fistula, you may need to have it closed by a surgeon to restore normal function.
There are several types of vaginal fistulas:
Read more about rectovaginal fistula.
Mayo Clinic doctors trained in female reproductive systems (gynecologists and urogynecologists), urinary systems (urologists) and intestinal systems (colorectal surgeons) treat vaginal fistulas. Advantages of care at Mayo Clinic include:
Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., ranks No. 1 for gynecology in the U.S. News & World Report Best Hospitals rankings. Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Fla., is ranked among the Best Hospitals for gynecology by U.S. News & World Report.
Mayo Clinic works with hundreds of insurance companies and is an in-network provider for millions of people. In most cases, Mayo Clinic doesn't require a physician referral. Some insurers require referrals, or may have additional requirements for certain medical care. All appointments are prioritized on the basis of medical need.
At Mayo Clinic in Arizona, doctors trained in pelvic reconstructive surgery (urogynecology) care for women who have vaginal fistulas.
For appointments or more information, call the Central Appointment Office at 800-446-2279 (toll-free) 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mountain Standard Time, Monday through Friday or complete an online appointment request form.
At Mayo Clinic in Florida, doctors trained in urogynecology and reconstructive surgery care for women who have vaginal fistulas.
For appointments or more information, call the Central Appointment Office at 904-953-0853 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern time, Monday through Friday or complete an online appointment request form.
At Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, a team of doctors trained in urogynecology, urology, and colon and rectal surgery care for women who have vaginal fistulas.

See information on patient services at the three Mayo Clinic locations, including transportation options and lodging.
To diagnose a vaginal fistula, your doctor likely will perform a pelvic exam, discuss your medical history and identify possible risk factors, such as recent pelvic surgery, an infection or pelvic radiation. Your doctor may also recommend certain tests to help diagnose your condition and to determine treatment options.
Possible diagnostic tests for vaginal fistula include:
Read more about CT scan, cystoscopy, flexible sigmoidoscopy and MRI.
For vaginal fistulas, conservative (nonsurgical) therapy is sometimes effective. However, in most cases, vaginal fistulas require surgery to close the opening.
If you have a simple vaginal fistula — for instance, your fistula is small in size, you haven't had cancer or you've never had radiation therapy — conservative measures may allow your fistula to heal on its own.
As part of your therapy, your doctor may recommend constant bladder drainage using a urinary catheter. Placing a ureteral stent — a small tube that holds the ureter open and helps urine flow from the kidneys to the bladder — soon after symptoms appear may help heal an otherwise uncomplicated ureterovaginal fistula. If you have a simple rectovaginal fistula, your doctor may ask you to change your diet and use fiber supplements to bulk your stool.
Most vaginal fistulas require surgery to repair the abnormal opening. Doctors can treat vaginal fistulas with surgery through the vagina or abdomen. Some cases can be treated with minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopic surgery), including robotic surgery. The location of your fistula determines whether your surgeon can perform the procedure through your vagina or your abdomen.
Mayo Clinic researchers seek innovative treatments for many types of gynecologic problems. The Women's Health Research Center at Mayo Clinic focuses on understanding and improving the health of women of all ages.

I'm posting here what was voted in Europarl, put together by ffii from this URL: http://swpat.ffii.org/papers/eubsa-swpat0202/plen0309/resu/index.en.html
My interpretation is that it's a very good thing, bye bye software patents in Europe if this goes through the next steps (unlikely but well :).
1. Article 1: Purpose
This Directive lays down rules for the patentability of computer-implemented inventions.
2. Article 2: Definitions
2a. "computer-implemented invention" means any invention in the sense of the European Patent Convention the performance of which involves the use of a computer, computer network or other programmable apparatus and having in its implementations one or more non-technical features which are realised wholly or partly by a computer program or computer programs, besides the technical features that any invention must contribute;
2b. "technical contribution", also called "invention", means a contribution to the state of the art in technical field. The technical character of the contribution is one of the four requirements for patentability. Additionally, to deserve a patent, the technical contribution has to be new, non-obvious, and susceptible of industrial application.
2c. "technical field" means an industrial application domain requiring the use of controllable forces of nature to achieve predictable results. "Technical" means "belonging to a technical field". The use of forces of nature to control physical effects beyond the digital representation of information belongs to a technical domain. The production, handling, processing, distribution and presentation of information do not belong to a technical field, even when technical devices are employed for such purposes.
2d. "industry" in the sense of patent law means "automated production of material goods";
3. Article 3a: Fields of Technology
3a. Member states shall ensure that data processing is not considered to be a field of technology in the sense of patent law, and that innovations in the field of data processing are not considered to be inventions in the sense of patent law.
4. Article 4: Rules of Patentability
4.1. In order to be patentable, a computer-implemented invention must be susceptible of industrial application and new and involve an inventive step.
4.2. In order to involve an inventive step, a computer-implemented invention must make a technical contribution.
4.3. The significant extent of the technical contribution shall be assessed by consideration of the difference between the technical elements included in the scope of the patent claim considered as a whole and the state of the art.
4.3a. In determining whether a given computer-implemented invention makes a technical contribution, the following test shall be used: whether it constitutes a new teaching on cause-effect relations in the use of controllable forces of natures and has an industrial application in the strict sense of the expression, in terms of both method and result.
5. Article 4a: Exclusions from patentability
4a.1. A computer-implemented invention shall not be regarded as making a technical contribution merely because it involves the use of a computer, network or other programmable apparatus. Accordingly, inventions involving computer programs which implement business, mathematical or other methods and do not produce any technical effects beyond the normal physical interactions between a program and the computer, network or other programmable apparatus in which it is run shall not be patentable.
4a.2. Member States shall ensure that computer-implemented solutions to technical problems are not considered to be patentable inventions merely because they improve efficiency in the use of resources within the data processing system.
6. Article 5: Form of Claims; and further provisions
5. Member States shall ensure that a computer-implemented invention may be claimed only as a product, that is a set of equipment comprising both programmable apparatus and devices which use forces of nature in an inventive way, or as a technical production process operated by such a computer, computer network or apparatus through the execution of software.
5a. Member States shall ensure that the production, handling, processing, distribution and publication of information, in whatever form, can never constitute direct or indirect infringement of a patent, even when a technical apparatus is used for that purpose.
5b. Member States shall ensure that patent claims granted in respect of computer-implemented inventions include only the technical contribution which justifies the patent claim.
5c. Member States shall ensure that the use of a computer program for purposes that do not belong to the scope of the patent cannot constitute a direct or indirect patent infringement.
5d. Member States shall ensure that whenever a patent claim names features that imply the use of a computer program, a well-functioning and well documented reference implementation of such a program is published as part of the patent description without any restricting licensing terms.
7. Article 6: Interoperability
6. The rights conferred by patents granted for inventions within the scope of this Directive shall not affect acts permitted under Articles 5 and 6 of Directive 91/250/EEC on the legal protection of computer programs by copyright, in particular under the provisions thereof in respect of decompilation and interoperability.
6a. Member States shall ensure that, wherever the use of a patented technique is needed for a significant purpose such as ensuring conversion of the conventions used in two different computer systems or networks so as to allow communication and exchange of data content between them, such use is not considered to be a patent infringement.

I purchased a size 7 for my 6 yo and it could probably fit a toddler. Wouldn't purchase again and can't return because I had his name put on the back.
- Sizing:
- Feels full size too small
My daughter loves it cause she now has a jersey. She's so excited she has one. She's 5 years old, very petite. When she tried it on, it almost looks like it's not going to fit her long cause it looks like it might Ben little short. I hope she can wear it at least another season! It's too expensive and I can't believe the NFL doesn't make more single sizes. There's no size 4. And the 7/8 will probably be to big for her. A 6x/6 would be a good size to through in or if your going to make a custom jersey, why not have it custom made in size as well. At least for kids.

Bought for 5 yr old grandson. Perfect size

Purchased this for my grandson. He wears a 5-6 now, so I ordered a 7 so it would fit for 2 years. It appears small - he will only get to wear it this year. I really wanted it a little larger due to the cost for a child jersey.

Ordered personalized jersey for my granddaughter. Came quickly and is absolutely adorable. Love it

Aspiration pneumonia occurs when food, saliva, liquids, or vomit is breathed into the lungs or airways leading to the lungs.
Anaerobic pneumonia; Aspiration of vomitus; Necrotizing pneumonia; Aspiration pneumonitis
The type of bacteria that caused the pneumonia depends on:
Risk factors for aspiration or breathing in of foreign material into the lungs are:
A physical examination may reveal:
The following tests may also help diagnose this condition:
Some people may need to be hospitalized. Treatment depends on how severe the pneumonia is. Sometimes a ventilator (breathing machine) is needed to support breathing.
You will likely receive antibiotics.
You may need to have your swallowing function tested. Persons who have trouble swallowing may need to use other feeding methods to reduce the risk of aspiration.
Outcome depends on:
More severe infections may result in long-term damage to the lungs.

I usually listen to Bing or the Beach Boys this time of year.
I heard "Snoopy's Christmas" on the radio this year by the Royal Guardsman. Pretty good stuff. He and the Red BAron celebrate Christmas.
Peeps who have hooked me up: General Grievous Dark Marble jjreason Ramy GrandMoffLouie Josephe vader121 Val Da Car
Sorry for the late post on this one, but I had to chime in.
I prefer the traditional stuff, but some of the modern isn't too bad.
Frank Sinatra -- Holly Jolly Christmas
Phil Spectre Christmas album -- Entertainment Weekly rated this the best Christmas album of all time. It is good, especially if you like the girl groups from the '60s.
Any Elvis Christmas album.
Beach Boys
It's albums like these that will stand the test of time and people will still be listening to in 100 years.
There's one Christmas CD I have that is old radio broadcasts from Christmas 1945. It's scratchy and pops but interesting to listen to.
I wanted to get the Rat Pack Christmas album but didn't get around to it.
Two nontraditional songs that have grown on me this year--even though I've heard one of them sparingly.
They are the O'Jay's "I Can Hardly Wait For Christmas" and Natalie Cole's "Grown Up Christmas List." Both are kinda sappy, especially the latter, but are two songs that make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I haven't heard the O'Jays song that much this year, only once, but I like the harmony of that song.
Another song that I am starting to like is on Canadian stations all the time. It is called "Driving Home for Christmas." I don't know the name of the singer, probably a Canadian known only artist, but it is a song worth a listen to.
"The dark side clouds everything. Impossible to see, the future is. But this I am sure of - do their duty the Jedi will." --Yoda from Attack of the Clones.
Always remembering listening to Bing Crosby, so that is a natural. However, I do dig listening to one particular wacky song.....Weird Al Yankovich "It's Christmas at Ground Zero" Laugh everytime I listen to it.
Otherwise, I am much more of a traditional guy. I dig Carol of the Bells, Greensleeves, and other more subdued songs.
Pearl Jam's song is a good song also though.
I'm sure you mean "holiday song", right KH?
It's hard for me to pick out 1 or 2 songs. I really like the classic instrumental version of "Sleigh Ride". I'm more of a favorite Christmas artist person, Johnny Mathis leading that pack, followed closely by Perry Como and Andy Williams. I'm also a big fan of Mannheim Steamroller's first Christmas album from 1984 (their others were only "meh").
It's a blacked-out blur but I'm pretty sure it ruled.
YES! I love that song; i was jsut listening to it last night. I'm also hooked on Chris Martin (of Coldplay) and his piano driven "Have yourself a merry little Christmas." He performed it on Conan the other night after the band did "Talk" and Conan took the last verse. It was hysterical. Luckily, it was a b-side to a promo disc of theirs a few years back, so i have a lovely studio version, sans conan.Originally Posted by Sentinel18725
"Woke up at 9.55am. Soon as I woke up, I looked at Suzanne and she looked at me. I said, 'Did I tell you about the immune system?' Suzanne starting laughing, I said, 'it's amazing.' She said, 'Not now.'"
I have one comedic Christmas CD, and Christmas at Ground Zero is on it. The 12 Pains of Christmas is included, too.Originally Posted by Sentinel18725
The local WM has a couple of the Twisted Christmas CDs. I might have to buy them, too.
i picked that song up last year on one of target's exclusive christmas albums. they typically do 2-3 for the season for $5, featuring plenty of new songs mixed with todays artists performing traditional classics. not my favorite version of the song though. i'm more a fan of the muppets/john denver performing it.Originally Posted by Jedi_Master_Guyute

Three events centered on Martin Luther King Day will kick off a prison-reform movement in Maine:
"BEND THE BARS," a meeting to organize a statewide group to advocate for better conditions for prisoners, will take place from 1 to 5 pm, Sunday, January 20, at the Unitarian Universalist Church, 37 Miller St., Belfast. The idea is "to create a unified movement for prison reform in Maine," says David Bidler, of Portland's Black Bird Collective, the meeting's sponsor. Bidler expects attendance from members of Peace Action Maine, the NAACP, Volunteers for Hancock Jail Residents in Ellsworth, and the Waldo County Restorative Justice Project, among other groups. The open-to-the-public session will discuss prisoner human-rights violations, better news-media access for prisoners, prison education, and prisoner reintroduction to society.
On Martin Luther King Day, Monday, January 21, from 2:35 to 3:50 pm, a WORKSHOP ON PRISONER EDUCATION open to the public will be held in Room G50 in Pettengill Hall, Bates College, Lewiston. Max Kenner, director of the degree-granting Bard Prison Initiative in New York state, and Kay Bouchard, educational director of the Maine Correctional Center in Windham, will be among the speakers. The organizer, Laura Balladur, a Bates French professor, wants to promote liberal-arts education in Maine's prisons.
A public lecture by Max Kenner on "LIBERAL ARTS IN THE PRISONS" will be given at noon in Room G65, Pettingill Hall, Bates College, Lewiston, on Tuesday, January 22.

Join us Fall 2014 as we read The Good Food Revolution by Will Allen. The son of a sharecropper, Will Allen had no intention of ever becoming a farmer himself. But after years in professional basketball and as an executive for Kentucky Fried Chicken and Procter & Gamble, Allen cashed in his retirement fund for a two-acre plot a half mile away from Milwaukee's largest public housing project. The area was a food desert with only convenience stores and fast-food restaurants to serve the needs of local residents. In the face of financial challenges and daunting odds, Allen built the country's preeminent urban farm--a food and educational center that now produces enough vegetables and fish year-round to feed thousands of people.

text: They don't want us there. It's their country. As far as I can tell they offer very little to the economy. I read an article in the paper about Karzai and I wonder about my question above. Every time it seems an article is written Karzai has nothing good to say about what the USA has done for them.
