Is Extension Extinction Underway?
We've all heard the news and the headlines: "Virginia Cooperative Extension Services Facing Restructuring" … "Proposal Cuts $2 Million From University of Nevada Cooperative Extension." When Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber proposed cutting the Oregon State University Extension service by 18.8 percent in 2011, it was on top of a cut of 14 percent the previous biennium.
Paul Craig shows off the roadside marker that was erected in Schellsburg, Pa., in 2012 to commemorate the hiring of the first county agent in Pennsylvania. Extension services around the country have been under budget pressure for years. Reductions in funding from the traditional tripartite base of federal, state and county support has forced restructuring, layoffs and office closures. The President's 2013 budget calls for a reduction in federal spending for Extension services of only $12.7 million in Extension-only funding; however, other funding of combined Extension, education and research also faces proposed cuts. That's not good, but it could likely get worse. The Ryan budget endorsed by the House of Representatives would slash discretionary spending, which accounts for virtually all Extension funding, by 50 percent over 10 years.
Combine these scenarios with state and local budget woes and state Extension services may be facing extinction. One reason is the only thing left to cut is workers.
"Here in Pennsylvania, our administration would tell you almost 95 percent of our budget is people," said Paul Craig, Extension program leader, crop management team. "You can't cut back on other costs, and our budgets aren't keeping up today."
Craig is also the president of the National Association of County Agricultural Agents. In the past 10 years, membership has fallen from 3,200 to 2,100 as states have adapted to the new realities of budget cuts and a changing clientele. As farm size and farmer sophistication have changed, so has demand for services.
"In 2000, the farmers and agricultural industry in the state told the administration that they wanted more specialized knowledge from Extension," explained Craig.
Pennsylvania responded by setting up regional teams. Extension educators from nine counties were made part of groups, with each member taking on a particular area of expertise. Craig became the forage specialist with others taking on crops, plant nutrition, grain and pest management. Dairy and horticulture teams were also set up by region. Each Extension agent retained county duties as well; however, now they also traveled to other counties in their group.

The article begins with incorrect information about nevada's budget reductions. Over the past three years nevada State Extension funding was cut $5,000,000 dollars. A 70% cut. Soon with nearly all faculty and 4-H staff working part time its nearly a door closing reductiion. Now Extension is under presidential pressure to reorganize to a part time Dean/Director. Nevada extension will soon be a shell of its former self. And the people lose their mosted trusted source of working knowlege. If anyone can take such a hit and continue excellent programs its Extension people. We can only hope new support is on the way.
Better budject cuts would be Congressial salaries and expenses. They have only a 25% approval rating. Our extension folks have a much higher approval rating.
As our Federal and State Entitlement programs continue to grow and suck the major % of our government budgets, positive government service programs that have a multiple return on investment and enhance out nation's production capacity will disappear. Maintaining or increasing Granma's social security, medicare , medicaid and pension funding strikes a higher emotional tone than does biochemical engineering research into energy self sufficiency, agriculture sustainability or new environmentally friendly manufacturing technologies. Tis the world we live in today.
As I was quoted in this article, I was very interested in commentary and feedback from all sectors of the agricultural industry - from growers to chemical/fertilizer/seed manufacturers, retailers, retailer consultants, independent agricultural consultants, as well as public/private researchers not involved in extension. Thus far, it seems the only people willing to post comments are extension personnel. Let's use this forum to improve things for global agriculture going into the future. Progress is made through discussion, unless a majority of the population feels this is a non-issue. Please chime in and let your thoughts be known constructively!

Chris Froome Confident Ahead of the Tour de France
The 2013 Tour de France favorite on his rivals, racing without Bradley Wiggins, and having never actually won a Grand Tour

Barometer du Tour: Who's Hot?
Resoul, France –
This year the hands-down favorite to win the
Tour de France
is not a confirmed champion, but the revelation of the 2012 race: Team Sky's Chris Froome. After growing up in Kenya and being schooled in South Africa, Froome boasts one of the most unique paths to professional cycling. And considering his stellar start to the 2013 season, with resounding victories in the
Tour of Oman
, Criterium International, Tour de Romandie, and
Criterium du Dauphine
, Froome is positioned to continue his singular path to the top of the sport come July.
chased down this iconoclast champion on his way to victory in the Dauphine to talk about his career so far and the Tour to come.
Bicycling: You have been winning races all year. Can you maintain this condition all the way into the third week of the Tour?
Chris Froome: I'm actually hoping to improve before the Tour. I am not in 100 percent condition yet, but I am where I need to be at this stage.
How will you perfect your condition between now and the start of the Tour?
The team will be doing a mid-altitude training camp in Châtel, France, with most of the Dauphine guys and some of the guys on the long list for the Tour de France. Although every member will be working on specific things to improve himself, it will mostly be about spending more hours on the bike together and working on the team time trial. But generally, like in our training camps this year in Tenerife, we want to move the form forward a bit more before the Tour de France.
Do you fear that too much is being made of you and Contador as the big favorites?
I am pretty sure that this year's Tour will be about more than just two riders. For me there are six or seven riders that could really be in contention. That said, Sky is in a really fortunate position to have [Richie Porte and myself] in that group.
Who are those six or seven Tour de France favorites in your mind? Who outside of Contador do you fear the most?
I'm sure I will leave someone out, but the names that come to mind are Contador, Valverde, Quintana, Rodriguez, Cadel and Tejay with BMC, Richie Porte, Van Den Broucke. It is hard to say at the moment who will be the most dangerous, since I haven't raced with guys like Tejay or Quintana yet this season. I'll have to judge for myself in the first week.
Regardless of any tensions with Bradley Wiggins, what did you learn by riding with him throughout his incredible 2012 season?
Riding in the front with Bradley, right at the front of the racing, was huge, but I didn't have all of the pressure. Last year's Tour was a great learning experience. It was a step up for me, but one where I didn't have all of the pressure or expectations that a leader normally has and that can be at times overwhelming.
Does it seem strange to be a Tour de France favorite considering that you have yet to win one Grand Tour?
Definitely. In my mind, I don't like to think of myself as the favorite as such. I'd rather go in there knowing that the race is going to be hard. The Dauphine has been a good test and I've come out on top. But I think the Tour is going to be completely different. We'll all start at zero again.
Is the fact that Bradley Wiggins is forfeiting this year actually good news for you? The situation of team leadership is clear.
No. That is definitely not good news.
How did growing up in Africa help you make it as a cyclist?
I think one thing I learned from a very young age growing up in Africa was, that if you want something, it's not going to be given to you for free. You have to go out there and make it happen. And in the cycling world, if you want something, if you believe in something, you are the only one that can make it happen. You've got to set a plan. It has got to be realistic, but if you stick to that, you can pretty much make anything happen.
What has been the hardest thing for you as a team leader?
All of the outside pressures that weren't there before: speaking to the media more, being the face of the team. If questions are asked to the team, they are generally asked to you as the leader. It's been more about coming to terms with the off-the-bike stuff.
You appear at ease with the press. Have you had to work on that?
It's something that I am getting used to. But I would like to think of myself as open and approachable, and you can ask me any question you want.
You have consistently beat Alberto Contador this year. How important is that for you psychologically?
It gives me a lot of confidence, especially knowing he is a rider looking at winning the Tour de France and one that has already won it. Using him as a marker, and always coming out on top, does give me confidence. It does as well for my teammates. But that said, I am by no means expecting an easy battle in July. The Dauphine is the Dauphine and the Tour de France is a different race. I know that in July I am going to have to fight for everything.
The stages in Corsica promise to be tricky. It is said that the Tour will not be won there but that it could well be lost. Have you ridden those stages already?
I was there for the Criterium International and a few of us had a chance to ride the first three stages there afterwards. And yes, it could be lost, especially that first week when everyone is nervous and the yellow jersey is up for grabs and people are taking more risks. It's going to be a really tough first few days, that's for sure!

A former Bonneville County Sheriff's deputy has been killed in a snowmobile accident in eastern Idaho.
Authorities tell the Post Register that 49-year-old Brent Deshon of Jefferson County died late Tuesday afternoon.
Bonneville County Sheriff's Sgt. Greg Rix says Deshon and his adult son were snowmobiling south of U.S. Highway 26 and east of Ririe Reservoir when he hit a hidden gulley.
Rix says the snowmobile flew 50 feet before hitting the ground, and that Deshon was thrown from the machine.
Cody Deshon tried to revive his father without success. He used a cellphone to call for help and guided rescuers to the crash site.
But emergency responders also failed to revive Brent Deshon and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Morally Unacceptable
Sojomail - October 4, 2007
I know that I personally never saw anyone shoot at us, but we blazed through that town all the time. Personally I did not take aim at one person. But I don't know what everybody else did. We'd come back at the end of the day, and a lot of times we were out of ammo. ... I wasn't over there to wreck somebody's life. There was too much cowboying going on. I really didn't know if we had made things worse over there. More than likely we did; that was my feeling. - David Horner, a truck driver for Crescent Security Group based in Kuwait City. Private security contractors have come under recent scrutiny for shooting incidents involving civilians and their lack of real accountability. Horner said he did not think any of the incidents he witnessed were ever reported. (Source: The Washington Post) + Sign up to receive "Verse and Voice" - our daily quote and Bible verse e-mail
Morally Unacceptable
At our religious leaders' news conference on Tuesday, I spoke of the issues at stake here. Jesus made healing a principal sign of his ministry and of the presence of the kingdom of God. From a biblical point of view, it is simply wrong when health becomes a commodity and accessibility depends upon wealth. Until something is done to make universal health care a reality in America, millions of families will remain poor. SCHIP is one bill – one program – to help fix the health care problem. No bill is perfect. But a bipartisan group of legislators think it is a good bill in the right direction. To veto the bill, with no alternative plan instead - to simply abandon millions of poor children, to leave them to a market system that is failing to provide health care to enough people - is simply morally unacceptable. We must not allow this to become an ideological battle over the larger issue of health care systems. This is about a specific program for poor children that a bipartisan majority believes is working. This is not about health care theories - this is about children. And now, overriding a presidential veto will become the next faith-based issue. Also speaking to the media were the heads of two denominations who also serve on our Sojourners Board. Sharon Watkins, general minister and president of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) said: Mr. President, members of the House and Senate, 9 million American children are without health care coverage this day. Those children are our children. God has given them into our care. We are the responsible adults who say whether they see a doctor or not. Our hearts need to break for them because they are our own. They are our future, and we need to give them a bright future. When historians reflect back on this era, do we want to be remembered as the people who turned their backs on the uninsured children of this nation? And Glenn R. Palmberg, president of the Evangelical Covenant Church added: An earlier administration, some 20 years ago, tried to declare ketchup a vegetable in the children's school lunch program. It was seen as a cruel and cynical response to the plight of low-income children. I still hear that talked about as the legacy of that administration regarding poor children some 20 years later. I think this veto has the potential of being talked about 20 years from now as part of the legacy of this administration, and it is seen as a cruel and cynical response to the needs of poor children. As the Congress now gears up for the veto override battle, I commend the words of Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT), one of the primary sponsors: I disagree with the [White House] legislative staff on all of this. Frankly, I think the president has had pretty poor advice on this. I can answer every objection that they've made, and I'm very favorable to the president. I know he's compassionate. I know he's concerned about these kids, but he's been sold a bill of goods.
+ See what's new on the blog of Jim Wallis and friends 'We're Going to Kill Them All' (by Gareth Higgins) This film wants to be a serious exploration of U.S.-Middle East relations, and in its portrayal of Saudi street life it manages to be more accurate than many. But ultimately, The Kingdom is in love with violence. The modus operandi of the FBI characters is to look for evidence and then shoot the guilty. It's mob rule, more akin to Wild West stereotypes than even the most right-wing interpretation of due process. Near the beginning of the film, one character tells a grieving friend of one of those killed in the attack, "we're going to kill them all." The friend is relieved and stops crying. The film's implication is that so should we. What Happened to Compassionate Conservatism? (By Jim Wallis) This article also appeared at Time.com When I first heard that President Bush was vowing to veto a bipartisan bill to expand child healthcare, my immediate thought was more personal than political. What has happened to him? I wondered. Now that he has followed through on his threat, I can't help but think about the first time we met and the conversation we had about children. Video: Overriding Bush's Veto Is Our Next Faith-Based Initiative (by Jim Wallis) Yesterday Jim stood with a group of religious leaders to challenge President Bush's promised veto of a bill to expand health coverage for children. He told some of the story of Bush's early days in office that he told here last week, asking what happened to his "compassionate" conservatism, and asking why Bush would veto a bill with broad bipartisan support, abandoning America's children to a failing system. Bush's veto, which came this morning at 10 a.m., is morally unacceptable, and overriding it will be our next "faith-based initiative." Iran's Lame Duck, Our Lame Political Script (by Elizabeth Palmberg) With all the fuss around Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's recent visit to New York, you'd think that he had political power, command of the military, or at least strong popular support in his homeland. Actually, he has none of the above, as Stephen Zunes argues in a recent Foreign Policy in Focus article. What Will Dobson Do? (by Diana Butler Bass) With James Dobson and major conservative evangelical leaders threatening to bolt the Republican Party if Rudy Giuliani is nominated for president, conventional wisdom about God and politics has been turned on its head. For the last 25 years, conservative evangelicals could reliably count on the Republicans to choose a candidate acceptable to their version of Christian politics. This year, however, the leading Republican candidates seem unable to articulate any convincing religious message, much less a strongly biblical perspective on issues. All the while, the three leading Democratic candidates can testify to personal faith, possess robust theological views, and ground many policies in broadly biblical principles. Sanctions Can Work in Burma (by David Cortright) International solidarity and support for the Burmese democracy movement is growing, as evidenced in the imposition of new economic sanctions against the military regime. The European Union and the U.S. government have announced additional measures to isolate the dictators. The democracy movement has supported the imposition of these international sanctions as an effective means of pressuring the Burmese government, as I explain in a recent NPR interview.
Over the weekend, conservative Republican leaders began to "spin" President Bush's expected veto of children's heath insurance (SCHIP). They said it would cover children in families with incomes up to $83,000 per year. A Washington Post op-ed points out that "up to" is a slippery phrase. The Urban Institute estimates that 70 percent of children covered would come from families with incomes less than $41,300, and most of the rest from families earning less than $62,000 - not a luxurious income for a family of four in places with high costs of living. They said it would take children off private health insurance and move then to "government-run" health care. Wrong again. About two thirds of the approximately 10 million children who would be covered now have no health insurance whatsoever. And, the SCHIP program is a government-financed program, not a government-run program.
Suddenly the media was reporting that thousands of protesters were marching in Rangoon, Burma (or Yangon, Myanmar, as it is officially called since the governing military junta renamed it in 1990). And the front ranks were led by Buddhist monks in brown robes holding banners that said, "Love and kindness must win over everything." Nuns in their pink robes were also present in growing numbers. I was in Yangon just before the largest marches began, having been invited there by Burmese activists to do a workshop on Gandhian nonviolence. We met in homes and out-of-the-way restaurants, hoping to be faithful to Suu Kyi's admonition "to persevere in the struggle, to make sacrifices in the name of enduring truths, to resist the corrupting influences of desire, ill will, ignorance and fear."
New York Faith and Justice was inspired into being by Sojourners/Call to Renewal during their annual Pentecost Conference in 2006. It started with just a handful of committed Christians in New York who were focused on discovering how God was leading them to respond to the issue of poverty in their city. NYT: 'A Pro-Lynching Movie That Even Liberals Can Love'? (by Gareth Higgins) What's surprising is that both Jodie Foster and her director, Neil Jordan, know better than this, having between them made smarter films such as The Accused and The Crying Game. But in producing The Brave One, a film that appears to co-opt the values of the war on terror into the domestic life of a character who works for an NPR-style radio station, they have created what The New York Times has called "a pro-lynching film that even liberals can love." Of course, doing nothing in response to injustice will not make the world a less violent place, but neither will suggesting that the only thing we can do is to use the same tactics as our opponents. Not Just Another PC Peace and Justice Group (by Becky Garrison) When I got an invitation to attend the launch of New York Faith & Justice (www.nyfaithjustice.org), their mission statement caught my eye. Simply stated, their goals are: following Christ, uniting the church, and ending poverty in New York through spiritual formation, education, and direct advocacy. Grounded in the words of Isaiah 61, this movement envisions a city where New Yorkers are released from the oppression of poverty and the poverty of riches. The Power of Nonviolence (by Jim Wallis) Gene Stoltzfus is a friend who worked in Southeast Asia during the 1960s and 70s, and then became director of Christian Peacemaker Teams, a program of Brethren, Mennonite and Friends churches and other affiliated organizations that places teams in high conflict zones to emphasize human rights protection, nonviolent action, and peacemaking campaigns. On his blog, he comments on the religious roots of nonviolence for the Buddhist monks leading the demonstrations against the military junta.

When the Genius at the Apple bar told me that it would be a simple process for them to migrate all the data from my old Mac PowerBook G4 to my new MacBook Pro I wondered if it really would be that simple. Nothing is ever simple.
I stopped in to the Apple store with a happy baby and two computers. I left the Apple store with a happy baby and zero computers and a promise that I would have them back in less than 48 hours. So far, so good.
Two days later I drove to the mall on a Saturday in December – not the wisest thing I have ever done but I was itching to get my hands on this new machine! I popped it open while I was there and I could see all my old documents, my iTunes library. It looked like we were in business! I left the Apple store on a Saturday in December without a headache. It took me longer to park my car than it did to take care of business. Three cheers for stellar customer service.
Kind of.
When I first took the new MacBook Pro out of the box it looked fancy. It looked new. After I picked it up from the Genius Bar it looked like my old G4. Sure, the screen was amazing. But the "new car smell" was gone. When my files were transferred the entire user profile from before had been moved.
I suppose for some it might be perfect that all of their old icons were there. All of the ancient file structures and junk I should have long ago deleted still in its place. But I just wanted my important files. My Itunes library. My assorted documents and the small handful of videos and photos I have not stored in the cloud. I didn't really want to eliminate the "newness" though… what to do?
I could call and schedule another appointent with a Genius, of course. Or I could give it a go on my own. I decided to give it my best shot.
This might not be the Apple approved workaround for getting your data moved over without mirroring your old machine – but it worked. The only thing that is required is that you have enough storage on the new one for two copies of everything you moved from the old one. All I did was drag everything I wanted in to the Shared file of my old user profile and then log out. I popped over to the shiney and new user profile (the new and improved Kelly) and copied everything in to the appropriate places from the Shared file.
At this point I took a look at my memory available and could see that I was eating up an outrageous amount of space. Of course, I was! I had two copies of all of my data. With the kind of courage afforded a person that still has copies of everything on another machine entirely I deleted my old user profile off of the new machine and Voilà! I was all set!
Just as I finished patting myself on the back I figured maybe I should try and actually get some work done. I opened up WordPress so I could begin to regale you with my tale only to discover that I couldn't make the applet work. It seems with this last fall's round of operating system updates Apple has removed its java applet all together.
I'm not a computer whiz but I knew well enough to head over to Java and download the software and install it. Easy, right? Nope. I did that. And still, nothing was working quite right. Off to the Apple store.
"I am sure this is what everyone says when they watch you fix something in ten seconds flat, but I swear that is exactly what I did and it didn't work." The Genius bar employees are well known for their ability to stifle their inner eye roll. I am certain they are tempted. Nonetheless, I am always amazed when they don't.
"Several people have come in with this same problem. I am not sure why the Java software sometimes doesn't take. But it looks like you are all set."
So, I am. All set. Merry early Christmas to me! Is anyone thinking about a new MacBook Pro? Have any questions? I am happy to share what I am learning.

Which ads are now banned? Your examples wanted
The ASA's ruling is being appealed by Cycling Scotland. To help support that appeal, we'd like examples of advertising - print and broadcast - that show cycling as a normal activity, and which would therefore (theoretically) not be allowed.
To start you off, here is CTC's own cinema advert, 'Cycle Hero', made a few years ago to communicate the issue of climate change and suggest cycling as an alternative.
Our ad included a mixture of cyclists from a full cross-section of society, and emphasised that cycling isn't just about sport or recreation. Cyclists were featured on Bromptons and shopping bikes without helmets, as well as mountain bikes and BMX bikes with.
They show cyclists doing incredibly risky and irresponsible things, such as filtering through traffic (!) and riding down the centre of an empty residential street in a group of 4.
Halfords advert - unhelmeted cyclists with baskets dangerously undertake responsible, helmet-wearing roadies on the Prudential RideLondon then children cause a mass pile-up.
Chicago based Brompton retailer illustrate a man's life which demonstrates a deviant attachment to his bike, and a scandalous absence of helmets:
New Coke Zero ad: lots of disreputable fixie riders without helmets flood over a promenade. Some appear to have brakes that may contravene the regulations!!!
In Wiggle's ad, everyone's got helmets on, but a child is seen riding in the center of the road, followed by some rather famous women occupying the entire carraigeway two-abreast.
TfL's 'Catch up with the bicycle' campaign ran for several years on bus stops and outdoor advertising.
British Retail Giant, H&M promoting irresponsible cycling with the cyclist using a hood instead of a helmet and mounting a bike without brakes, in East London.
Back in 2009 Diet Coke was at it, showing British singer Duffy cycling without helmet, down the middle of a street and on the footpath(!)
Even the Beeb would fall foul as this BBC One ident labelled "One Capes"would be flouting regulations for showing scores of cyclists sans helmets.
Holland: what a total disaster area; no helmets, cyclists everywhere.
here's Transport for London assuring us all you need is a Debit Card to ride a Barclay Bike, not a mention of helmet!
'Britain's favourite advert', the nostalgic Hovis ad on Gold Hill, Shaftesbury, directed by Ridley Scott, is a definite no-no. A child labourer, without helmet and with very little control, freewheels down the middle of the road.
To add your own, submit a comment below, or let us know on Twitter. The more examples we can muster, the stronger the case will be to appeal this ruling.

On the other side of things, I've noticed a number of car adverts that show encourage dangerous attitudes towards cyclists. I saw one in the cinema recently but cannot recall what make of car it was advertising. Here are two international examples anyway:

It should be banned to show a cyclist wearing a helmet but not done up properly. Any very limited safety benefit of a helmet is more than negated by not doing up the straps securely. An example can seen regularly in CTC's own Cycle Magazine full page advert for CTC incident line. In this CTC ad those cyclists seen riding while wearing helmets have the straps hanging loosely around their neck. This will ensure only that the helmet is, at best, thrown clear of the head in the event of an accident. At worst it will slide backwards down the back of the rider's head adding a risk if strangulation to any risk of head injury.

The TFL ads and other material highlight the fact that rules about cycle helmets are a political matter decided by our elected representatives. The ASA should not be pre-empting political decisions. If ASA staff want cycling without a helmet banned by law they should lobby for it like anyone else.
The ASA say their job is to ensure that ads are legal, decent, honest and truthful (can they be honest and untruthful?). Showing cycling without helmets does not obviously contravene this. I do think that ads should not encourage dangerous behaviour. But they should recognise that whether cycling without a helmet is dangerous overall is the subject of considerable controversy.

text: There are so many reasons why The Unbearable Lightness of Being doesn't follow a typical plotline. To begin with, the novel features several different, interwoven, plotlines revolving around several different protagonists. Even if you identify a climactic situation for one character in one plotline, it doesn't necessarily serve as a climax for the plot as a whole. Additionally, the same events are narrated more than once from different characters' points of view. The plotline is not only non-chronological, but also non-linear. Lastly, the novel is as much a philosophical work of ideas as it is a fictional story of characters, which means we can't break it into purely plot-driven stages.

The last Rock Fever Column: Ten lessons I have learned from travel
30 11 2011"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness." – Mark Twain
I am sorry to start this week at the end, but this is my last column in The Royal Gazette.
Why? I am told it is costs, so now your Bermudian wanderer will be found on her website www.robynswanderings.com.
For my last column, I thought I would leave you with some lessons I have learned from my endless traveling that began before I could walk.
I recently had the chance to completely embarrass two of my cousins at their school with a presentation on this very topic and how it relates to the United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), which are eleven goals the UN declared the world should be working towards.
These are good, vague goals such as empowering women and ending child mortality, however, the problem with many of these goals, is that they are based on very Western notions of "right" and fail to consider a family's financial and cultural position.
So I introduced the 200 bored students to a six or seven-year-old girl I met while biking through the Peruvian countryside. She should be in school, but instead her family needs her herding sheep through the fields to survive. Luckily me and these sleeping students have gone to or are going to school so, we have choices.
Which is ironic when we come to my first lesson for you today and to these students: never let studying get in the way of learning! I have lived in New York, Florence, Rome, Arcachon, Istanbul, Prague and London. I traveled around India and Sri Lanka for three months in 2003 and in 2009 I took my longest expedition yet: 23 countries in 12 months.
And during these years, I also finished college with a double major, completed a masters in International Relations and a Journalist degree from the National Council for the Training of Journalists in Newcastle, England.
My studying was never sacrificed for my travels…..it became part of it. Florence was a semester abroad, London was too and New York was the base for my Masters degree.
Travel, unfortunately, is too often seen as separate from "real" life or an escape from it, superfluous and indulgent. But travel, living or studying abroad should be seen as a requirement and valued because how can you feel compassionate about eradicating poverty if you have never actually seen poverty? How can you understand the complexity surround the MDG that states we should ensure primary education for children, if you haven't seen my little sheep herder? Travel makes these situations a reality.
Travel will also teach you strength! There are really two types of strength: an inner strength that I learned while I was sitting with my head in a toilet in Egypt thanks to a salad!
As I wished that I could die, or at the very least go back home to my mom, something inside me changed and I decided that I had to keep going. Two days later I visited the Pyramids and I got through the food poisoning.The second type of strength? Seriously,…do you know how heavy a 20 kilo backpack can get? I didn't think so. Do you know how those 20 kilos feel when you have to walk a mile to leave a Greek ferry terminal and find your hotel?
For my third lesson, I draw directly from the MDG's: the promotion of gender equality and empowering women. Sure, in Bermuda we have some work toward empowering women, but as I found myself traveling solo around the world, I also started recognizing how much being a woman truly mattered.
I began my travels with a travel buddy, but we separated in India so I found myself traveling solo throughout Southeast Asia and South America. At first I was scared and then I realized the world was not as scary for a single woman as I thought; it was easier for a single woman to find friends to travel with than a single man. Women are less scary.
But I also realized how much my safety was up in the air when I was on the back of a motorbike to go to a boxing lesson in Thailand and the driver went a separate way from the friend I was going with. I made him stop, I got off and I walked back to my hostel.
You learn that women in certain areas of the world have to be dressed from head to foot and if you are a woman in these countries, men will not speak directly to you. Empowering women is given a global perspective when you travel.
My lesson four came with some difficulty for me. I am a runner. It's my stress release and conditioning, but when I began traveling I wasn't able to run, so I had to find other ways to exercise, like hiking for five days through Patagonia, Chile!
Where am I going with this? Well I am telling you that travel will teach you in many ways, that you have to roll with what you have. Sure, initially I got annoyed at the lack of running, but then I found ways to supplement it by riding a bike through Vietnam or boxing in Thailand and walking….everywhere. I also realized that only foreigners were the ones working-out. The locals were like the teenagers in Battambong, Cambodia waiting opposite the restaurant I was eating in for scraps and it started to put some things in perspective.
Which brings me to lesson five and appearances. The more you travel the less you care and I don't mean, not keeping yourself clean.
Well, unless you're in the middle of the woods in Patagonia and the closest warm shower is not the glacier you sleep next to! Believe me, five days of dirt is better than an ice shower!
What I mean is that it does not matter is if you are wearing "Seven" jeans or Miu Miu dress or carrying a Louis Vuitton bag. Instead, you start to look at people as people. You start to understand how little other countries have and how that $1,000 bag is a year's work for some families.
And you start to learn my lesson number six: trust. Like I trusted a Laotian man who walked onto our overnight bus and told me and my Californian travel buddy that he knew we were going to the 4,000 islands and we were to follow him. We did and we had the easiest commute to these Laos-Cambodia border islands of any travelers we met.
Before you trust everyone, however, my lesson seven is as you travel you learn there is a balance to trusting and trusting your instincts.
Like the time I was in Varanasi, India and my travel buddy decided we should take the offer of guidance from an Indian boy to a hotel.
Varanasi sits on the holiest river perhaps anywhere, the Ganges. It is also an auspicious town where you are forever blessed if you die there because your body will be cremated on the ghats and sent back to its maker in the Ganges.
With this background, we were led, to my reluctance, by my travel buddy's trust into a tiny hole in the wall where we were shown scarves and drugs, not a hotel.
I was out of the hole in the wall in a shot, marching far away from a situation that I knew would only go badly for us.
It's a fine line, trust, that becomes trickier when you travel and you are trying to understand a new culture without insulting everyone you meet by running away.
Which brings me to lesson eight: do not fear different cultures. For this lesson I have to warn you against my kind, journalists, as well as, politicians (though I am definitely not the later). Often, minor conflicts in countries or strikes become national tragedies with a stroke of a pen.
Example? The Iraq War. I could have listened to George W. Bush when he lampooned almost every Muslim country in the world and launched an attack on Iraq, but I didn't.
I moved to Istanbul, Turkey at the beginning of the war and was met my some of the kindest people I have ever met. The sky is pierced by minarets where the call to prayer echoes five times a day and the people on the ground will stop you on the street just to speak to you out of interest.
I am proud to be a Bermudian, too, but I also learned from travel not to be too proud to appreciate and try to learn from other cultures. These are sometimes frustrating differences, but they make life interesting!
And the best way to understand is lesson nine: living in another country. Rome is not Rome until you try and run errands on your lunch hour. While the tourist areas of the city will remain open all day, where I worked was traditional and a siesta in the afternoon was the norm. So, study abroad (and my column on how to do that is on my website www.robynswanderings.com) and/or get your TEFL certificate and teach English and make money while you live abroad! What could be better?
And finally, let's be honest: travel teaches you how truly beautiful the world really is. From the lush green tea plantations in Sri Lanka, to the highest capital in the world where women wrestle, La Paz, Bolivia, or the best steak you will ever eat in Buenos Aires, Argentina, a bone church outside of Prague in the Czech Republic or floating in the dead sea in Jordan, the world is a weird and wonderful place that you should not squander.
We are really lucky we can travel to see all of this beauty. Many people will never be allowed to leave their countries. So, do not waste your time on this lovely planet, working or reading this column – get traveling! I will be on www.robynswanderings.com from now on.

Its like they are in a cult or something. Heidi has totally changed, Spencer is a freaken weirdo.. I say replace them with Lauren!

Based on the statistics, it looks like the junior Perry has the edge. He's completed 42-of-78 passes for 599 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. Brown, a redshirt freshman, has completed 25-of-39 passes for 225 yards, no touchdowns and an interception. McGee said he won't need to retool the offense depending upon which player starts.
"The only time you have to do different things is when one quarterback is a passer, and the other is a runner," he said. "Then you have to change your offense. These two guys are about the same. They throw it well. They run it just good enough to hurt you. It's pretty much the same thing."

THE UTEP football team is 1-3, but Coach Mike Price feels like the Miners could be 4-0.
"If I had said that to you a month ago, you would've said, 'Who are you kidding?' But the way we've played, we certainly had opportunities in those three games," he said.
All three losses were by double digits, but the Miners allowed two fourth-quarter touchdowns to Oklahoma, couldn't convert on two second-quarter scoring opportunities to pull closer to Ole Miss and, last week, trailed Wisconsin by just four in the fourth quarter before allowing two late touchdowns.
"We have the confidence," Price said. "We just have to keep the focus for 60 minutes. We probably haven't done that. The lack of focus is probably the most frustrating thing for me in the Wisconsin game ... the lack of focus in key situations."
UTEP lost senior safety Richard Spencer, the Miners' leading tackler, to a season-ending ACL injury. Price said UTEP might petition the NCAA for another year of eligibility.

This note solicits applications for Officer Candidate School (OCS), leading to a commission as an active duty Ensign, designator 1650 Special Duty (Public Affairs). We anticipate having at least TWO quotas for PAO OCS commissioning in FY14.
Active and reserve enlisted personnel and civilians who meet eligibility requirements are encouraged to apply. While the PAO OCS program is tailored towards enlisted media ratings, all enlisted ratings are eligible to apply. We select applicants whose superior performance indicates they are the best qualified.
Applicants must have a baccalaureate degree or higher from an accredited college or university, preferably in the areas of communication, English, journalism, broadcasting, public relations, rhetoric/speech, marketing, international studies or public administration. Applicants must not have passed their 42nd birthday at time of commissioning. As potential spokespersons for the Navy, it is also worth stressing that applicants must meet the rigorous physical readiness demands expected at OCS.
The Chief of Information (CHINFO) conducted an administrative review on 19 November 2013. CHINFO forwarded the recommended selections to COMNAVCRUITCOM, who notified applicants of their selection/non-selection via the applicant's recruiter and/or Commanding Officer.
Selectees will enter a 13-week OCS class at Newport, RI scheduled to graduate during FY14. Upon successful course completion, officers will receive an active-duty commission and receive PCS orders to their first Public Affairs assignment via Defense Information School (DINFOS) to attend the Public Affairs Qualification Course (PAQC).
Apply through your Navy Officer Recruiter or Command Career Counselor.

A Century of Prints from Arts Students League of New York
at St. John's College's Mitchell Gallery
FOR RELEASE: January 12, 2009
CONTACT: Patricia Dempsey 410-626-2539
The Art Students League of New York has long been known for introducing and formalizing many different artistic techniques and styles. The Mitchell Gallery presents "A Century on Paper: Prints by Art Students League Artists," an exhibition that focuses on various types of printmaking created by both well known and lesser-known American artists. The exhibition will be on display from March 6 to April 17. The Opening Reception & Family Program will be held on March 8. Art Educator Lucinda Edinberg will lead a tour of "A Century on Paper," followed by a hands-on workshop, from 3:30 to 5 p.m.
The Art Students League is one of the oldest and well-respected art schools in the United States. Its long roster of distinguished artists, a "who's who" of American art, includes Thomas Eakins, William Merritt Chase, Peggy Bacon, Wil Barnet, Georgia O'Keeffe, Reginald Marsh, Joseph Pennell, and Kenneth Hayes Miller. The exhibition "A Century on Paper: Prints by Art Students League" at the Mitchell Gallery celebrates a collection of over 60 black-and-white prints created from 1905-2001 by artists from the League. These artists experimented with a wide variety of printmaking techniques, including woodcut, embossment, lithography, aquatint, etching, mezzotint, drypoint, and serigraph. Pam Koob, curator of the Art Students League, describes this collection of prints as "a moving, visual record of America's culture and the shifting concerns of her artists over the course of the 20th century."

In a nod to a dismal funding picture, the board that oversees the Chicago area's mass transit agencies on Wednesday rejected a proposed contract for up to $425,000 a year aimed at launching a campaign to get tens of billions of dollars out of Washington.
The Regional Transportation Authority board voted down the contract with ASGK Public Strategies LLC to develop a campaign to get more money to renew transit infrastructure at the CTA, Metra and Pace.
ASGK was co-founded by Chicago political strategist David Axelrod, who is President Barack Obama's chief political adviser. The two-year contract contained options to extend it up to four years with a $1.7 million billing cap.
Before the full RTA board voted, an RTA committee endorsed the proposed contract.
The CTA, Metra and Pace need $24.6 billion over currently anticipated capital funding in the next 10 years to elevate the system to good repair, RTA officials said. That's three times higher than the projected federal funding expected to be awarded over the next decade, officials said.
Congressional passage of new multiyear federal highway and mass-transit spending legislation is not expected before the November election. In addition, there is deep division along party lines in Congress over transportation funding levels because of concerns about the federal debt and budget.
Several RTA board members questioned the wisdom of rushing ahead to spend money on public relations now.
"This is like going to the craps table with the public's money," RTA board member William Coulson said.

(CNN) - Former NBA basketball star Dennis Rodman is in alcohol rehab, his agent says in multiple reports.
Rodman has made several high-profile visits to North Korea where he has helped the nation's basketball program. But he has been criticized for not using his influence to help free an American missionary held captive in the isolated nation.
The trips to North Korea also have drawn an abundance of coverage from the media, and negative critiques from former American foreign policy officials.

Great pickup by the Pirates, Morneau's contract is up at the end of this year so if he's not a fit Pittsburgh aren't on the hook for empty years. It's really too bad the concussion issue has essentially ruined Morneau's career, in 834 games between 2005-10 he had an OPS of .875, he never should have won the MVP but he was a top notch middle of the order hitter.
Report: Pirates acquire first baseman Justin Morneau in trade with Twins
The Pittsburgh Pirates have acquired first baseman Justin Morneau from the Minnesota Twins in a waiver trade for 28-year-old outfielder Alex Presley, according to multiple reports.
The 32-year-old Morneau is hitting .259 this season with 17 home runs — including 10 since the All-Star break — and 74 RBI. Pittsburgh had been linked to Morneau since before the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline, looking to boost an offense that ranks 10th in the National League in runs per game.
The Pirates can plug Morneau, a four-time All-Star and 2006 AL MVP who has battled concussion symptoms and other injuries, in at first base and move Garrett Jones to a corner outfield spot opposite recently acquired right-handed hitter Marlon Byrd.
Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal first reported the news.

Ken Rosenthal (@Ken_Rosenthal) August 31, 2013
The Pirates will also send a player to be named later or cash to Minnesota, according to CBSSports.com's Jon Heyman.
deal will be Morneau for alex presley plus a player to be named or cash. #twins #pirates—
Jon Heyman (@JonHeymanCBS) August 31, 2013
Presley, a seldom-used outfielder who the Pirates drafted in the eighth round in 2006, is hitting .264 with two home runs in 29 games this season and .261 with a .718 OPS for his career.
Looking to make the playoffs for the first time since 1992, Pittsburgh moved into a tie for first place in the NL Central with a victory over the Cardinals on Friday.

Hello Dio
I had a similar problem with uploading images/files but in the section "Files & Images".
1) Updated my Flash-Version => no bettering
2) Then I confronted the support-team of my hosting provider with the problem.
The Feedback and solution was that they have an application firewall installed witch blocked some requests of SS. They updated some rules. Et voilà! It rocks!Cheerio

Hey Punxsutawney Phil! Where's Spring?
By editor
Originally published on Tue March 26, 2013 7:57 am
Good morning, I'm Renee Montagne.
As snow blanketed parts of the country yesterday, many turned their anger towards a weather predictor. Last month, Punxsutawney Phil forecast an early spring. One shivering Ohio prosecutor filed a lighthearted criminal indictment against Phil for fraud. But the president of the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club says it's not Phil's fault. He says he misinterpreted the groundhog's message, which has the prosecutor reconsidering charges.
