Virginia Tech has been researching and implementing integrated pest management for more than a quarter century.
Dinner plates and wallets reflect the triumphs and trials faced by food-growers and their crops from across the globe.
In order to combat the adverse effects caused by the pests and many common practices used for pest management, programs are designed to help reduce:
"Technical, social, policy, economic, and education issues are also addressed. We also want to build local institutional capacity," said S. K. De Datta, Virginia Tech's associate provost for international affairs and director of the Office of International Research, Education, and Development (OIRED), part of Outreach and International Affairs.
In part, research and education are used to help reduce the use of and residue from pesticides used by farmers. Economic, biological, and environmental monitoring research is helping the farmers increase income and reduce overhead.
The Virginia Tech-led Integrated Pest Management Collaborative Research Support Program (IPM CRSP), which is funded by a $17 million, five-year grant from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), is already helping people in 32 countries.
As the managing entity, OIRED is working wit 22 university partners in the United States and 62 host country institutions using research to find safe, low-cost solutions to agricultural pest problems.
To address the problems, research scientists at host country institutions collaborate with Virginia Tech researchers or other university partner researchers to investigate approaches to pest control that eliminate or minimize damage to people, livestock, other wildlife, and the environment.
Virginia Tech's approach also recognizes the critical role of gender in human cultures and incorporates these considerations into research projects when selecting farmer priorities. This helps ensure appropriate beneficiaries, as women represent the majority of farmers in the world.
Virginia Tech is also the lead institution and manager in the Sustainable Agriculture and Natural Resource Management Collaborative Resource Management Collaborative Research Support Program (SANREM CRSP), which utilizes knowledge-based sustainable agriculture and natural resource management systems to help improve livelihood and opportunity for stakeholders.
"Virginia and the United States will benefit through domestic applications of research, reduced pesticide residues on imported fruits and vegetables, reduced threats from invasive species, and expanded demand for our export products as incomes grow in developing countries," De Datta said.
As part of a concerted pesticide education program in Mali, the IPM CRSP sponsored a first-of-its-kind professional development workshop in Bamako, Mali, for pesticide safety educators in West Africa.
"The workshop was a great chance to let others see what we have been doing and why," explained Pat Hipkins, assistant coordinator of Virginia Tech Pesticide Programs.
Hipkins, along with Tech researchers Don Mullins and Jean Cobb, has been working in Mali for nine years developing pesticide safety programs.
"Farmers told us they didn't realize that one pesticide is more toxic than another, or that some pesticides kill some insects and not others," Hipkins said.
At the workshop, attended by more than 60 people representing 20 agencies from five West African countries (Benin, Burkina Faso, Chad, Senegal, and Mali), pesticide safety trainers met to exchange information, identify pesticide safety program needs, discuss collaborative efforts, and share techniques for measuring impacts.
On another continent, olive farmers in Albania are seeing increased returns on their olive crop, thanks to an IPM effort to thwart the olive fruit fly.
This tiny pest's larvae were damaging olives grown for olive oil production. They also made the olives bitter, reducing farmers' income.
The three major insect pests that attack the crop — the olive fruit fly, the olive moth, and black scale — needed to be treated with insecticides. But, the products were too expensive for the farmers to afford. Those who tried sprays were thwarted if the farmer owning the next block of trees in the orchard didn't spray too. The quality of their olives — and their income — dropped.
The solution they discovered was simple — and free. Albanian researchers collaborating with Doug Pfeiffer, professor of entomology in Virginia Tech's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, discovered the most damage was done in the last couple of weeks before harvest.
During the same time period, oil content didn't really increase very much. By the simple expedient of harvesting their crop two weeks earlier, farmers found that fruit fly damage decreased and their olives produced the higher priced extra virgin olive oil.
Read more about IPM's Albanian research in the winter 2007 edition of Virginia Tech's Research magazine.
"The exciting thing about managing [IPM CRSP] is knowing that it is having a direct impact on the nutrition, health, and economic well-being of so many people around the world."
— Muni Muniappan, director of IPM CRSP
Thus far, Virginia Tech's program has increased farmers' profits from California to the Philippines, and assisted in reducing pollution.
At one site in the Philippines, benefits were estimated at $150,000 a year for 4,600 local residents of six villiages.

Howard Fineman: Republican Congress's Unfavorability Hurting Obama's Poll Numbers
Can you imagine liberal media members in 2007 or 2008 blaming George W. Bush's sagging poll numbers on the public's dismal view of the Democrat Congress?
On Friday, the Huffington Post's Howard Fineman actually told MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell "the fact the Republicans and Congress are so poorly regarded, that the whole system is so poorly regarded, drags everybody down, including the president" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
LAWRENCE O'DONNELL, HOST: The latest "New York Times"/CBS News poll shows the number of people who think the U.S. is on the wrong track is at 70 percent, the highest it has been since the final days of George W. Bush's presidency. President Obama now gets low marks across the board -- 57 percent disapprove of how he's handling the economy, 59 percent disapprove of how he's handling the deficit, 45 percent disapprove of how he's handling the situation in Libya. His overall job approval is at 46 percent compared to 45 percent of those who disapprove.
The president thinks he knows what's moving his numbers, the price at the pump. Last night at a fundraiser, the president said, "I'm confident because I travel around the country and my poll numbers go up and down, depending on the latest crisis. And right now, gas prices are weighing heavily on people. But when I talk to ordinary folks, they are not paying attention and we understand the world is complicated."
If you don't understand the world is complicated and if you exaggerate wildly and if you're crazy, this is the way you talk about gas prices.
TRUMP: Look at what's going on with the gasoline prices. They're going to go to $5, $6, $7. And we don't have anybody in Washington that calls OPEC and says, fellas, it's time. It's over. You're not going to do it anymore.
O'DONNELL: If you don't understand the world is complicated, you don't know that you can create worldwide economic chaos by not raising the debt ceiling when necessary.
REP. MICHELE BACHMANN (R), MINNESOTA: I say no to the debt ceiling. No to raising our debt ceiling.
BACHMANN: Now, some people will tell you, but, Michele, you don't want the government to shut down. The government won't shut down.
This is what will happen. Revenue will continue to come in to the United States Treasury. And we will, first, pay off our debts, our obligations and interest on the debt. That's the first thing we'll do so we don't violate our credit ratings.
O'DONNELL: If you don't understand the world is complicated, then 142 characters is more than enough to articulate all of your thinking about the United States' role in Libya. @SarahPalinUSA tweeted, "Get in, hit hard, get out. Need to send the world a message: we'll only intervene in anyone's business if we are dead serious."
If you do understand the world is complicated, there is no one left in the Republican Party who speaks for you.
Joining me now is Howard Fineman, senior political editor for "The Huffington Post" and an MSNBC political analyst, and Richard Wolffe, MSNBC political analyst and author of "Renegade: The Making of a President."
Thank you both for joining me tonight.
RICHARD WOLFFE, MSNBC POLITICAL ANALYST: You bet.
HOWARD FINEMAN, MSNBC POLITICAL ANALYST: Hi, Lawrence.
O'DONNELL: Richard, did these poll numbers hit the White House by surprise? Did they -- did they understand there was a trend building with these kinds of negative numbers?
WOLFFE: No, they have known this is building for awhile. Gas prices haven't just suddenly spike. But they also know that in spite of all vulnerability they have on the economy, there's only one set of numbers that are actually worse than this, and that's what voters say they think about Republicans and specifically about the Republican plans on things like budget or on cutting taxes for the super wealthy.
So, you know, people talk about hope and change here -- you know, yes, they are hoping gas prices come down and people feel better about the economy. But they also know the risk of change is what's going to drive people in this dynamic we're going to see over the next year or so.
O'DONNELL: Howard, the president does have some high disapproval numbers in there for a president running for re-election. But the Congress has a disapproval number of 75 percent.
How do you think voters are balancing that out -- their disapproval of the Congress and the disapproval of the job done by the White House? Where does that leave them when it comes time to vote for president?
FINEMAN: Well, it leaves them in a quandary. And it leaves them very upset that the Washington hasn't changed. It is true that the gas price numbers are hurting the president right now. It's true that there's a lot of uneasiness still about the economy. As a matter of fact, it's growing again.
But I think it's also true that people are a little disappointed in the president because he hasn't been able to change the way Washington works at all. Indeed, Congress is even more poorly regarded. Everybody wanted a bigger deal than was done the last budget go around.
And so, in an odd way, the fact the Republicans and Congress are so poorly regarded, that the whole system is so poorly regarded drags everybody down, including the president.
Harken back to 2008 when stocks were collapsing as was the entire financial services industry along with President Bush's poll numbers.
Can you imagine a liberal media member like Howard Fineman, Lawrence O'Donnell, or Richard Wolffe giving any of the blame to former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.), or the Democrat Party?
Neither can I.
You know what else was collapsing back then? Congress's poll numbers. They were even lower than they are today.
Sadly, the only thing shocking about this analysis was that nobody figured out a way to blame Obama's sagging poll numbers on Bush.
Give it time.

Do you think there is a snowball's chance in hell that Bambi is dragging down the reputation of Congress and the rest of the country?
I seem to remember he has non-stop apologized to damn near every country on the planet for his rotten country. Dat would be us, yo.
I also seem to recall that lately he has been saying some pretty ugly things about the Congress. Maybe if he would quit pounding them down, they would quit hurting his reputation.
Bambi is the leader, right? So if the Congress and the country suck, maybe, just maybe, he has a little something to do with it. You gotta admit, if we were a football team, the fans might be looking for a new leader.
A suggestion, Howie. It is much easier to get a clear view of what is going on if you will pull your head out of your ass. Larry could do the same, but in his case, I think he prefers the view where it is.

That's encouraging. This is exactly what I want to know -- do a lot of people who voted for him regret it? Would they vote in Skippy the Dog before they would punch the button for Obama again?
That's what will do it. A lot of other factors can go up and down, but there has to be that core group of regretful voters that really get it -- and are determined not to let this happen again.

Are there NOT Democrats in the majority of one part of our CONGRESS, I think they are called Senators or something or do the Republicans run that show?

The lost clip
Submitted by Vivaldi5 on Sat, 04/23/2011 - 4:24pm.
This is true comedy gold--once again, kudos to Noel Sheppard!
I was thinking it's a shame that one other clip didn't somehow sneak its way into O'Donnell's program:
O'DONNELL: If you don't understand the world is complicated, you don't know that you can create worldwide economic chaos by not raising the debt ceiling when necessary.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE SPEAKER: Leadership means that 'the buck stops here.' Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better. I therefore intend to oppose the effort to increase America's debt limit.
O'DONNELL: Um, seems to have been some mixup with the video in our control room. (HIS CELL PHONE STARTS RINGING) Excuse me, folks--yes, this is Larry?--No, honestly, Rev. Al, I wasn't saying President Obama doesn't understand the world is complicated because he's black! Would I say that about a fellow socialist? That line was meant for Michele Bachmann!--Er, we'll be right back after a commercial break, after which I may or may not still be in this anchor chair!

When things are going badly, people are worried about the country, and are frustrated with the President, the left tries to shift all the blame on to the GOP congress. But, you just know, if everything was getting better, they'd try to give their chosen one, Glorious Leader Obama all the credit. Sycophantic liars.
Oh, and "The world is complicated" is just about the most inane, condescending, and meaningless excuse anyone on the left has ever made. And it's dead wrong, too. If we start drilling for our own oil, gas prices go down. If we relax taxes and regulations and stop trying to control the economy, it will recover, and tax revenues will go up, allowing us to pay down our debts. If we stop letting public employee unions push the gov't around, we can make huge cuts to the budget. Not complicated at all, but I don't expect leftist morons like Larry and Howie here to get that.
EDIT: Also, note how Richard Wolffe invokes the tired cliche, "Republicans want to cut taxes on the super rich", leaving out a few inconvenient facts like: #1. They want to cut taxes for EVERYONE, something tax-and-spend fundamentalists never, ever mention; and #2. The GOP also wants to eliminate a number of tax loopholes, which means, we'd be getting more tax revenue from the rich than we are right now. But, let's not let the facts get in the way of pushing the liberal/progressive narrative. "The world is complicated", remember? We just don't understand what's really going on and need to let our liberal betters lead the way without question. After all, it worked so very well in 2009-10, right?
Progressives seem to be completely averse to facts and logic. Apparently, reality has a conservative bias.

Huh? Say what?
Let's not forget that Republicans have been in control of the House since January 2011. The low approval ratings for the Congress -- the Democratic Congress -- predate Obama's election, and stayed low during its rush to deliver a stimulus and Obamacare. Obama's approval ratings began dropping long before the GOP regained control of the House.
But why lack the facts get in the way of 'analysis?'
All of this is their own fault, because the MSM began its 'coverage' of the 2012 Presidential campaign before the fuss over the 2008 election even settled. While some called for Obama's image to be carved on Mt. Rushmore, others (like Chris Matthews) began picking his GOP opponent in 2012.

KENNEWICK, Wash. - Instead of lifting weights the Tri-City Americans are lifting hammers to help complete a house for Habitat for Humanity.
"We get to give back to the community that your so fortunate to play in, I mean it's easy for us to do that, it's a no brainer," said Mitch Topping, Americans Forward.
"It's a new experience kind of working with the guys doing all this. We showed up, a lot of guys didn't really know what we were doing," said Marcus Messier, Americans Forward.
The Americans are installing siding for a Habitat for Humanity home that will house a low-income family in the Tri-Cities. And even though the boys aren't on the ice, they still like to complete.
"Yeah my nailing skills really weren't too good, kind of struggling there. I was battling with one of those big nails. But Nicks (Nickles) takes the cake, he's really struggling with that hammer," said Messier.
"For me I'm definitely less skilled out here, that's no question. It's almost like a mini competition between the guys, who can make the nicest wall here or whatever," said Topping
Habitat for Humanity hopes to have the house the Americans worked on today, completed before Christmas.

Last August, my esteemed colleague Dan Parr penned a fantasy column on Jets RB Shonn Greene's potential to have a breakout season in 2010. Take a look, as Dan made some great points in predicting a big year, especially considering how Greene performed in the '09 playoffs.
Unfortunately for Greene and his fantasy owners, that "breakout season" did not happen. Instead, LaDainian Tomlinson rushed for 914 yards, hauled in 368 receiving yards and scored six TDs. No one expected that kind of production from LT, who had been cast off by the Chargers after nine seasons of establishing himself as one of the best backs of all time.
Greene improved across the board in 2010, but 766 yards and two rushing scores are far from a breakout season. He also lost two fumbles and has yet to make his mark as a receiver.
The Jets didn't need Greene to catch passes — LT did that just fine. Greene's rushing average of 4.1 yards was solid, albeit nothing special. He did perform well in the three playoff games, rushing for 198 yards and had a 5.8-yard rushing average (nine carries, 52 yards) against the Steelers.
If we are to work off what Dan wrote last season, on the playoffs being the boost to the upcoming campaign, I think it's safe to say that 2011 will be Greene's breakout season, because he has a lot more going for him than just a strong finish to 2010.
Tomlinson has said publicly that he is resigned to being the team's third-down back, and he has no problem with that. Head coach Rex Ryan has stated that he expects Greene to be the team's bellcow.
Greene runs behind one of the best O-lines in the league. He runs for a team that has the offensive philosophy of pounding the rock down the opponent's throat. Mark Sanchez provides a solid complement in the passing game.
The biggest thing going against Greene is still his handcuff(s). If Tomlinson is running the ball well again, Ryan will make sure to get him the rock. Then there's Joe McKnight, who played well when given the opportunity in last year's season finale (32-158-0 rushing). The Jets also drafted RB Bilal Powell in the fourth round.
If the Jets have it their way, Greene will get more than 200 carries and 1,000 rushing yards this season, with LT making his impact on third down and McKnight being available to give the team a change of pace.
Everything is set up for Greene to do in 2011 what so many expected in '10. He should be available to snag in the third round in most fantasy drafts with the tools to be a very good No. 2 back, and don't be shocked if this is the year he can perform at the level of a fantasy starter.

I laughed when Zac and I managed to smear sweet potatoes all over his face during his first feeding.
I followed him through the house with the camcorder when he started to crawl. I clapped when he took his first steps and almost cried tears of joy when he said "Mama" for the first time.
However, there is one important first that I have been dreading — baby's first haircut.
Wyatt is going to be 2 soon and I have never let scissors near those precious locks.
I've been afraid that if I agree to even the teeniest, tiniest trim, then all of his beautiful red curls will be gone.
As I've mentioned before, Wyatt's hair is one of his trademark features. Strangers regularly stop us in public to comment on it, and my little flirt loves all of the attention it earns him from the ladies.
It's almost hard to believe that while I was in labor, the doctor said he didn't have any hair.
Actually, she just had a hard time seeing it. He was born with some strawberry blond fuzz on the very top and back of his head.
For a while, it was pretty obvious that Wyatt had inherited his daddy's high forehead, but by his first birthday it became clear that he was going to have my curls to help cover it up.
Now Wyatt looks like a rough-and-tumble Shirley Temple. He frequently gets mistaken for a girl because, as more than one person has said, "He's just too pretty to be a boy."
After Wyatt sleeps on those ringlets all night, he wakes up looking like a miniature Bozo the clown. It's so adorable that I usually leave it like that.
When it's slicked down and fluffed a little in the back, I almost feel sorry for all the girls whose hearts Wyatt is destined to break in a few years.
As much as I couldn't stand the thought of cutting Wyatt's hair, I began preparing myself for the inevitable shortly after he turned 1. I had heard that's usually when most babies get their first trim.
Thankfully, Wyatt's hair looks shorter than it really is because of the curls, allowing me an extra year to say good-bye.
I'm still not ready, but my husband and mother assure me that it's time.
One of Wyatt's new tricks is taking a strand of hair and pulling it down past his nose to show us how long it is.
Zac isn't helping matters by gathering it all up into a ponytail whenever he's trying to tell me why Wyatt needs a haircut.
I can also understand my mother's point that all that hair is going to be hot on the baby this summer.
So I broke down a couple of weeks ago and agreed to a trim for Wyatt. I joked that it would probably be a waste of money because I wasn't going to let the stylist take off more than a quarter of an inch.
Zac and I decided that we would go as a family and get our hair cut too so Wyatt would see that there was nothing to be afraid of.
That plan, like most of the ones the Cohrons cook up, did not go as expected.
Our first attempt was a disaster for multiple reasons, one of which being that Wyatt freaked out as soon as I sat down in the barber's chair.
Wyatt screamed the whole way home. We let him nap it off and then took him to Wal-mart for a second go.
He saw Zac and I get our hair cut at the salon there once. Every time we've passed it since, he pats his head to show that he knows what goes on in there.
He knew alright. As soon as we walked in, he started shaking his head, pointed in the other direction and whimpered, "Go. Go."
We stayed for several minutes hoping that we would start to feel more comfortable, but his skinny little arms never left my neck. We eventually admitted defeat.
Some of my friends could hardly contain their excitement when I told them I didn't need to cry on their shoulders because no curls had been lost.
Even my mother sounded a little relieved when I called to tell her that her pumpkin had not been a cooperative customer.
Zac is now threatening to go without a hair cut as long as Wyatt is holding out. Soon I'm going to be living with father-son hippies.
I say peace, love and long live the curls.

Public employee pensions are the biggest single reason that Illinois's credit rating has crashed to the lowest of any state in America. But will the new pension reform proposal be able to fix the problem?
The pension crisis has been blamed for higher taxes, cuts in funding for public schools and mental health, a long list of other problems. They've also gobbled up nearly every penny of that 67% income tax increase the General Assembly enacted three years ago.
Legislators are returning to Springfield Tuesday to try and do something about the crushing cost.
SEE: Illinois pension vote nears
American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees - AFSCME - Executive Director Henry Bayer and Greg Baise, president and CEO of the Illinois Manufacturer's Association, joined FOX 32 Political Editor Mike Flannery on Good Day Chicago Monday morning to debate "how" and "why" Illinois got to this point. What taxpayers and people looking for a job want to know about, is the "what."
As lawmakers head to the State Capitol, some employers say they fear that the $100 billion total unfunded pension liability will force future tax increases. Indeed, some in the General Assembly and public employee unions are already pushing hard for that.
A University of Illinois study found that the 2011 income tax increase was a factor in the state's dreadful job performance. We've had the worst unemployment in the Midwest for several years now.
On the conservative side, a chorus of critics complain that this proposal does not do enough to stop the budgetary bleeding. They fear it locks in the need for another round of huge tax increases that would kill jobs.
Public employee unions are also pressuring lawmakers to vote "no." They complain it takes too much away from future retirees.
Voices from the middle, like Baise, call the deal a good first step toward repairing Illinois's business climate and avoid more damage to the credit rating.

Judge: Corruption 'corrodes public faith in police force'
Sentencing, Mr Justice Fulford told April Casburn she had been guilty of "a corrupt attempt to make money out of sensitive and potentially very damaging information".
The judge went on:
Activity of this kind is deeply damaging to the administration of criminal justice in this country.
It corrodes the public's faith in the police force, it can lead to the acquittal or the failure by the authorities to prosecute individuals who have committed offences whether they are serious or otherwise.
We are entitled to expect the very highest standards of probity from our police officers, particularly those at a senior level.
It is, in my judgment, a very serious matter indeed when men or women who have all the benefits, privileges and responsibilities of public office use their position for corrupt purposes.
He said he was particularly concerned about Casburn's child, and admitted that her absence while she is in prison could be damaging.
But he said that, had she not been arrested, the detective would have returned to work by now, and therefore the child would be cared for by others anyway.

As the old year draws to a close, many of us are looking at what we want to do differently in the New Year and living more sustainably is often at the top of people's list of resolutions.
The Worldwatch Institute, an independent research organization based in Washington, D.C. works on energy, resource, and environmental issues. It has compiled a list of simple steps that will improve the environmental pressures people put on the planet and help fuel the Woodinville economy.
The United Nations has designated 2012 as the International Year of Sustainable Energy for All. Broadening access to sustainable energy is essential to solving many of the world's challenges, including food production, security, and poverty. "With so many hungry and poor in the world, addressing these issues is critical," says Danielle Nierenberg, director of Worldwatch Institute's Nourishing the Planet project. "Fortunately, the solutions to these problems can come from simple innovations and practices."
Here are 12 simple steps the Institute recommends to go green in 2012:
1. Recycle
In 2009, San Francisco became the first U.S. city to require all homes and businesses to use recycling and composting collection programs, according to the Institute. As a result, more than 75 percent of all material collected is being recycled, diverting 1.6 million tons from the landfills annually----double the weight of the Golden Gate Bridge. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, for each pound of aluminum recovered, Americans save the energy resources necessary to generate roughly 7.5 kilowatt-hours of electricity----enough to power a city the size of Pittsburgh for six years!
To help people understand what can be recycled and which bins to place stuff in, that explain how easy it is to recycle.
2. Turn off the lights
Make an impact every day by turning off lights during bright daylight, or whenever you leave a room. On the last Saturday in March, March 31 in 2012, hundreds of people, businesses, and governments around the world turn off their lights for an hour as part of
3. Make the switch
In 2007, Australia became the first country to "ban the bulb," drastically reducing domestic usage of incandescent light bulbs, according to the Institute. By late 2010, incandescent bulbs had been totally phased out, and, according to the country's environment minister, this simple move has made a big difference, cutting an estimated 4 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions by 2012.
A bill in Congress to eliminate incandescent in the United States failed in 2011, but you can still make the switch at home. Compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) use only 20-30 percent of the energy required by incandescents to create the same amount of light, and LEDs use only 10 percent, helping reduce both electric bills and carbon emissions.
4. Turn on the tap
The bottled water industry sold 8.8 billion gallons of water in 2010, according to Worldwatch, generating nearly $11 billion in profits. Yet plastic water bottles create huge environmental problems. "The energy required to produce and transport these bottles could fuel an estimated 1.5 million cars for a year, yet approximately 75 percent of water bottles are not recycled----they end up in landfills, litter roadsides, and pollute waterways and oceans" the Institute states in a report.
While public tap water is subject to strict safety regulations (see Woodinville Water District's water testing report here), the bottled water industry is not required to report testing results for its products.
World Watch recommends filling up your glasses and reusable water bottles with water from the sink. The United States has more than 160,000 public water systems, and by eliminating bottled water you can help to keep nearly 1 million tons of bottles out of the landfill, as well as save money on water costs.
5. Turn down the heat
The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that consumers can save up to 15 percent on heating and cooling bills just by adjusting their thermostats. Turning down the heat by 10 to 15 degrees Fahrenheit
6. Support food recovery programs
Each year, roughly a third of all food produced for human consumption----approximately 1.3 billion tons----gets lost or wasted, including 34 million tons in the United States, according to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). Grocery stores, bakeries, and other food providers throw away tons of food daily that is perfectly edible but is cosmetically imperfect or has passed its expiration date. In response, food recovery programs run by homeless shelters or food banks collect this food and use it to provide meals for the hungry, helping to divert food away from landfills and into the bellies of people who need it most.
You can go through your cabinets and shelves and donate any non-perishable canned and dried foods that you won't be using to the or .
7. Buy local
, falling between and , was established in 2010 as a way to support small businesses during the busiest shopping time of the year. Author and consumer advocate Michael Shuman argues that local small businesses are more sustainable because they are often more accountable for their actions, have smaller environmental footprints, and innovate to meet local conditions----providing models for others to learn from.
Instead of relying exclusively on large supermarkets, consider the which opens in May or subscribing to a community supported agriculture farm such as right here in the Sammamish Valley. You can also buy local farm fresh eggs from and Food from these sources is usually fresher and more flavorful, and your money will be going directly to these food producers.
8. Get out and ride
We all know that carpooling and using public transportation helps cut down on greenhouse gas emissions, as well as our gas bills. And now with , it will be even more costly to drive into Seattle.
There are two great bike shops in Woodinville: and , plus Cascade Bicycle Club has great information on trails, bike lanes, bike safety and other cycling information.
9. Share a car
Car sharing programs spread from Europe to the United States nearly 13 years ago and are increasingly popular, with U.S. membership jumping 117 percent between 2007 and 2009.
According to the University of California Transportation Center, each shared car replaces 15 personally owned vehicles, and roughly 80 percent of more than 6,000 car-sharing households surveyed across North America got rid of their cars after joining a sharing service. In 2009, car-sharing was credited with reducing U.S. carbon emissions by more than 482,000 tons.
Now, car sharing isn't always practical if you live in the mostly suburban Eastside. But Zip Car does have three locations in Bellevue and there are public buses from Woodinville to Bellevue.
10. Plant a garden
Growing your own vegetables is a simple way to bring fresh and nutritious food literally to your doorstep. Researchers at the United Nations Development Programme estimate that 200 million city dwellers around the world are already growing and selling their own food, feeding some 800 million of their neighbors, according to Worldwatch.
Growing a garden doesn't have to take up a lot of space, and in light of high food prices and recent food safety scares, even a small plot can make a big impact on your diet and wallet. Need help getting started? King County Master Gardeners are volunteers that are eager to help newbie gardeners, they can be found at every spring.
11. Compost
And what better way to fertilize your garden than using your own composted organic waste. You will not only reduce costs by buying less fertilizer, but you will also help to cut down on food and other organic waste. Need help figuring it all out? King County Master Recycling Composters can help, check the website here. The also has demonstrations of different composting techniques at its public demonstration garden.
12. Reduce your meat consumption
Livestock production accounts for about 18 percent of all human-caused greenhouse gas emissions and accounts for about 23 percent of all global water used in agriculture, according to Worldwatch.
You don't have to become a vegetarian or vegan, but by simply cutting down on the amount of meat you consume can go a long way. Consider substituting one meal day with a vegetarian option. And if you are unable to think of how to substitute your meat-heavy diet, websites such as Meatless Monday and Eating Well offer numerous vegetarian recipes that are healthy for you and the environment.
Not willing to cut down on your meat, you can still support the environment by buying meat raised organically or locally, such as is sold at .

PHOTOS: Touring Nanjing
Nanjing China - With our busy schedule at the TV stations in Nanjing, I was feeling disappointment in having no time to shop or buy souvenirs. But after touring the Nanjing Massacre Memorial Site yesterday, so much seems trivial and superficial. I am still haunted by the experience and the cruelty of man. Nanjing has so much history and the locals are proud of what the city has become today. It is thriving and I am so lucky to have spent time here. Xie xie, Nanjing. Shine on.

Greenville, KY (Muhlenberg County) -- The Kentucky State Police arrested a student in reference to a bomb threat at Muhlenberg County High School West Campus.
On Friday, March 08, 2013, at approximately 12:25 p.m., the KSP Post 2 Madisonville was contacted by the Muhlenberg County Sheriff's Department in reference to a bomb threat at the West Campus of Muhlenberg County High School located at 501 Robert L.

A - poured with one finger of white foam on to of a milky, golden colored body. The head fades slowly and leaves nice lace.
S - spicy aromas with some musty hops and a hint of lemon.
T - spicy rye up front with soft, grainy malt in the middle. Pepper and lemon notes in the finish with some herbal hops.
M - medium-thick body, moderate carbonation, and a dry finish.
D - not bad, this is basically an american wheat, but better than most of the examples of that dismal style.

A: Hazy orange-yellow. Soft, staying thin, white head that gives off a good lace.
S: Grapefruit, lemon citrus, hops, and buttered biscuits.
T: Oh wow, an amazing sweetness of oranges and honey, a sticky caramel sauce then lemon hops with a bite. Spicy rye hints and mixes with light bread and candied citrus peel of malts and herbaceous notes.
MF: Smooth and sticky with a medium, edging on light, feel in the tongue.
D: It's an easy, sweet, and spicy drinker, showcasing the fine, plump biscuit notes and subtle rye character.

A growler filled on 29-Dec-10.
A: The rye beer is a coppery amber color, hazy in my glass. Despite being jostled, moved and shaken several times over the past half week, the ale is well-carbonated. It delivers almost two fingers of head that slowly overflows in my glass. The result of the head is a virtual wall of lace from the rim of the glass down to the beer.
S: The rye beer is equal parts toasted biscuit and spicy rye. The breadiness gives the ale heft. The rye isn't as strong as the tap version.
T: More rye in the first sip, dark spicy breads with an anise undertone. Alongside the rye, toasted biscuit flavors drive a rich maltiness. The longer the ale sits out, the more spicy rye wafts out. A nice, sippable rye beer. Hops gradually emerge from the latter part of each sip.
M: The hops aren't as strong as I remember. That leaves the rye to save the day. And it does, adding spicy grains to the ale.
D: An ale that improves as it reaches room temperature, the rye is a little shy at times. Still a good choice for the bring-home growler.

Poured a light copper hue with a one finger frothy white head. There was good retention and lacing.
The smell featured a light rye spice and a grainy hop.
The taste consisted of a doughy malt with a touch of rye spice and a drying herbal hop.
The mouthfeel was toward the creamy side of the style with a residual doughiness.
Overall a very good and easy to drink rye ale.

I tried this at lunch at the brewpub -served chilled in a shaker pint.
A - a very lightly hazed golden w/ very thin pale white cap w/ tiny bead. The lace clings to the glass well
S - A mild rye aroma w/ slightly spice nose and hint of light pine hops
M- A very nice blend of spiced texture and nice bitter hops balance to the sweet edge - the feel has a crisp texture from moderate carbonation w/ a dry finish
T - A very tasty rye which gives a mild sweet flavor w/ a bit of pine hoppiness and complimentary rye taste - the hops have some mild herbal accents which leads to a mild grassiness and more pine in the finish. The malt is there but as a backdrop to the slightly spiced hop w/ slight resinous and herbal acidity as the beer finished dry and refreshingly
D - A highly drinkable ale with mid strength -it paired well with the ale onion soup - so good the balance of rye and hops are spot on...one of the best rye I have had possibly - every thing is in its right place - the best beer I had at Willimantic

Thanks to RomanW70 for sharing this one.
A - Clear apricot with light tan head that falls to a ring. Nice lacing.
S - Sweet malt, hops - grapefruit.
T - The taste follows the nose with a nice dry finish.
M/F - Smooth and nice lightly carbonated. Light/medium body.
D - A very drinkable and fully flavored session brew. My first Willimantic brew and hopefully not my last.

This ale shows a clear amber color with a modest white fuzz for a cap and a similar hint of lacing. The aroma is mild caramel wheat. Not much rye evidenced, not very impressive. The flavor brings some alcohol with a dry grain and citrus. There's a bit of almond nut and lemon bread with melon and light cinamon spice. A bit whimpy in feel but to be fair, this growler was the end of the last keg of the season. So I curved the grade given that they gave this partial growler to me at no charge due to the situation. Not bad but a bit disappointing. Wish i could have had a proper taste.

Draught @ Brewpub: This one poured a cloudy, darker golden color. There was a small white head on it, and only a little lacing from it. The aroma is lighter. Some citrus and rye to the nose. The taste has rye, and some citrus tartness to it. Medium bodied. A Very Nice brew.

Thanks to my Willibrew hookup naproxen for this one.
A-Lightly hazed dark, orange hued copper with a thick, light tan head that reduced to a thin cap and left nice lace.
S-Interesting with a musty nose and bright notes of citrus and sweet malt poking through.
T-Tart citrus and a bit "yeasty". I think this one may have been pulled a bit early. Nice flavours come out when the beer gets a chance to settle a bit. Slightly spicy, drying finish.
M-Medium-light bodied with light lingering bitterness, fairly crisp in the end.
D-Nice...and while maybe a bit green this one ended up being tasty nonetheless. I would like to try this one again.

3.88/5 rDev -4.7%
Growler into Imperial pint on 4/22/09, courtesy of Deuane.
A - Poured a slightly hazy amber/orange body with vigorous carbonation and one-finger creamy white head that settled to a quarter inch of retention and left sparse lacing on the glass. Some yeast particulates are suspended throughout the body.
S - Dank, musty and yeasty with a bit of funk. Akin to a wet basement, if you will. Reminds me of a Belgian IPA. I don't detect much of a rye character; however, there is a mild sulphur presence. Some sweet malts make an appearance.
T - Citrusy and yeasty with some funky notes reminiscent of a Belgian ale. Again, not a lot of dryness present, which is usually characteristic of a rye ale. This is a very yeasty beer overall, with hints of spice in the backend.
M - Medium body with a slightly oily texture and subtle carbonation. Finishes with slight bitterness and mild dryness on the palate.
D - Interesting rye beer that drinks more like a Belgian pale ale or IPA due to the prevalent yeast character. Thought this was not what I was expecting, I still found it pretty enjoyable.

Thanks to RomanW70 for the opportunity to try this one. Served in my Gouden Carolus chalice. Poured the color of polyurethane with no head. Nose was sweet grapefruit and apricots. Taste consisted of light fruit with some hops bitterness. Mouthfeel was light and lively. Easy drinking and amazingly flavorful for a session beer.

Draft @ Willimantic. Pours amber=/range with a medium white head. Aroma of earthy hops and grains of medium strength. This beer has A LOT of flavor for 5.5%. Medium high carbonation and a medium mouthfeel. Nice combination of caramel malts, cereal grain, and piney/grapefruit hops. Has a medium finish with a noticeable cereal grain character. The star of this beer is its flavor, which as strong and robust as I've ever had in a sub 6% beer. Took home a growler.

Reviewed on 5/23/08. On tap at the brewery. Pours a cloudy amber with a small white head. Aroma of floral and citrus hops. Flavor of rye, citrus and piney hops. Slight bitter finish. Pretty hoppy for an APA. Also as the beer warms, the sweetness from the malt starts to come out more. I liked this!

The Chicago Bears defeated the San Diego Chargers on Sunday afternoon, but their situation going forward looks quite a bit more bleak. Starting quarterback Jay Cutler suffered a broken thumb on his throwing hand, an injury that could force him to miss a few games for the Bears.
Cutler did not miss any time in the Bears 31-20 victory, but the news afterward is that Cutler could be out "for awhile," according to the Chicago Tribune's Vaughn McClure. Sean Jensen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports that there fears that the injury could end his season, though further tests are pending.
Cutler hasn't been an outstanding quarterback this season, but he has led his team to a solid 7-3 record while playing in the ultra-competitive NFC North division. The veteran has completed 164 of his 283 attempts thus far this season, throwing for 2,033 yards and 11 touchdowns compared to six interceptions.
Cutler's backups on the Bears depth chart are Caleb Hanie and Nathan Enderle. If the reports are true, it would not be surprising to see Chicago look at the possibility of signing a more veteran quarterback.
For more on Cutler and the Bears, be sure to visit Windy City Gridiron.

With the Texans and Jaguars playing under the lights on Thursday Night Football tomorrow evening, what are the teams' respective injury situations heading into the game?
The best player in Texans' franchise history quelled the fears of fans and fantasy football owners alike by confirming that he's going to play on Sunday against the St. Louis Rams.
The Texans will be without their All-Pro left tackle when they take on the Ravens in Baltimore tomorrow. Terrell Suggs and Elvis Dumervil proceed to lick their chops.
Here's the latest on injuries and practice participation out of Houston and Baltimore as the Texans and Ravens prepare to play on Sunday.
Texans fans get final word that Houston's free agent acquisition at safety will not play in the season opener on Monday Night Football tonight.
One of those should not be a surprise to Texans fans. The other qualifies as a shocker, especially now that we know what kind of injury he had.
While hardly a surprise to Texans fans, the reality of Shiloh Keo starting at safety in the season opener in San Diego in front of a national television audience is beginning to set in.
One of the Texans' sixth-round picks from the 2013 NFL Draft has been lost for the season after suffering an injury in practice. Does this affect the Texans' offensive line?
BRB takes a look at some of the names you will and will not see in the 2013 preseason finale when the Texans travel to Southern Oklahoma on Thursday.

Each of our partners is affiliated with the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI), the organization Dr. Montessori founded in 1929 to promote the cause of all children around the world. Candidates complete their AMI training while earning graduate credits towards a Master's degree in Education which culminates in a one-summer intensive program at Loyola's Evergreen campus.
