Crop genetic resource policy: towards a research agenda
AbstractSince the 1970's, the worldwide capacity of genebanks for ex situ conservation of crop genetic resources has increased greatly. This has increased the accessibility of landraces and wild and weedy relatives to crop breeders; in situ conservation, though essential, is not an efficient means of furnishing genebanking services. But utilization of genebank resources has not kept pace. The set of popular cultivars in major crops is typically rather small, and their ancestry encompasses only a small fraction of the genetic diversity currently available in other cultivars. Discussions of farmers' rights that focus on compensation for current incorporation of farmers' varieties in new cultivars have diverted attention from the question of why so little of the newly accessible genetic diversity is currently being utilized by public and private breeders. To optimize the future provision of genebank services, research is needed on the costs of genebanks, the market for their services, the use of genetic resources by breeders, and the implications of recognition of farmers' rights, evolving intellectual property rights, continued funding problems and developments in biotechnology.

FORT WORTH — While Fort Worth's Sundance Square is 14 miles from Cowboys Stadium, it has just become a focal point for coverage of Super Bowl XLV.
ESPN says the downtown entertainment district will be the home base for its coverage of the NFL championship game.
Executives with the worldwide leader in sports said they saw the people, the restaurants, the bars and that Texas flair, and they knew Sundance Square was where they wanted to be for events leading up to the big game on February 6.
"Fort Worth and Sundance Square will host ESPN throughout the entire week of Super Bowl XLV," Mayor Mike Moncrief announced to applause on Wednesday.
Cheering fans are priority one for the cable sports giant. ESPN will bring radio shows, TV hosts and production crews to the center of Fort Worth for live broadcasts throughout Super Bowl week.
Network executives said they toured the Metroplex before they chose Sundance Square. "It just came down to what fit our needs better in terms of space, in terms of crowds, in terms of atmosphere," explained ESPN senior producer Stephanie Druley.
ESPN is already part of the Cowtown atmosphere. Its networks dominate the screens at Billy Miners. With a loyal TV following, restaurants are counting on sports fans opening their wallets when they see ESPN live and in person.
"It can bring a lot of folks here. Therefore, all our businesses and periphery area should do very well," said Devoyd Jennings, president of the Fort Worth Metropolitan Black Chamber of Commerce.
Dallas said it lost out because it couldn't provide a single location to fit the three stages, production trucks and offices ESPN required.
Fort Worth had the space right in front of the Chisholm Trail Mural, and it brought in local sports stars to sell the Texas charm.
"The lifestyle and the atmosphere over here is more to my liking than Dallas," said former Dallas Cowboys great Walt Garrison.
Fort Worth says all of North Texas will shine during 80 hours of ESPN live coverage, but Fort Worth will likely win some new fans on a wold stage.
"I don't think Fort Worth will ever be the same from this day on," Mayor Moncrief said.
Dallas says it will still shine during Super Bowl week. David Corrigan, president of the Dallas Chamber, told News 8 that several other media outlets will be touring the region in the next few weeks, and they expect to make a few big announcements of their own.

Glycol Chiller system
Cold Liquor tank
Heat exchanger
Malt mill

Some of the things listed, you may or may not need depending on how things are setup and what type of equipment you use. Were you looking at direct fire/gas, or steam, or electric elements for heat source? Most breweries use steam due to its efficiency. Then you may have issues with power due to a lot of boilers using 480v. A lot of this also depends on barrel capacity as well. probrewer.com is a great resource.

We can't all have a cellulite-free body, but we can sure as heck try! While traditionally seen as an indicator of obesity, cellulite is a condition that happens to virtually everyone, even the skinniest of supermodels. It typically isn't a health concern — but in our pursuit of the ideal self we generally don't accept this as a natural flaw. Common remedies include liposuction, healing massages, lotions, and even special jeans! But the most recent promising technology are heated lasers.
VelaShape™ is a relatively new technology designed to literally burn fat from your body — but despite a common misconception (and crafty marketing) and our perpetual desire to belief in things that are too good to be true, it won't actually make you lose weight or look toned. But that doesn't mean it won't work on your cellulite.
Cellulite: That Orange Peel Skin on So Many of Our Thighs
For any woman (or man) who has scrounged the Internet for cellulite quick-fixes and causes, you know that cellulite is a symptom of unevenly distributed weight, usually in the thigh/hip/abdomen area, though it can also be found in the breasts and calves. More accurately, cellulite is when connective tissue on your skin and muscle is strained and jostled around by increasing amount of fat cells, resulting in the well-known and much-hated "cottage cheese" look. However, this doesn't always point to obesity — cellulite may develop as we grow, our body growing too quickly to have time to distribute things evenly.
Cellulite is found in eight out of 10 women, typically because women's bodies store more fat than men's for both childbearing and evolutionary reasons. Yet, as we age, both men and women are more susceptible to cellulite as metabolisms and muscles degenerate, and skin loses some of its flexibility. Worse yet, high-stress lifestyles (including stress over body appearances!) are often correlated with cellulite because stress can cause hormonal imbalances in the body and over-eating/unhealthy cravings in some individuals (The Mayo Clinic).
The Radiofrequency Laser: Cellulite Shrinker
Radiofrequency lasers feature a form of electrical energy waves (radiofrequency waves) that are easily absorbed by the body, making them a newly valued candidate in the medical and cosmetic surgeries. They work by sending low frequency waves through your skin cells, which cause a sort of friction that makes them grow warmer and subsequently shrink. In treatments like VelaShape, these types of lasers will gradually shrink the connective tissue between your skin and muscle, giving the fat cells a less constricted area in which to disperse themselves. Additionally, you connective tissue is full of collagen (which is responsible for skin elasticity), which quickly collapses when met with extreme heat (Refractec.com).
Research by Fazeli, Berlin and Goldberg found that radiofrequencies lasers do work in reducing cellulite and waist/hip circumference. After giving their 30 test subjects treatments once every other week for six weeks, the investigators found that 90 percent of the subjects reported a noticeable decrease in cellulite and lost approximately an inch in circumference. Changes were measured using before-and-after photographs and a tape measure. Additionally, patients did not report any skin discoloration or scarring after the treatment, only mild irritation for a few hours afterward.
However, the researchers did not measure any considerable changes in the subjects' weight or blood lipids, meaning that this doesn't necessarily improve healthy, just appearance.
VelaShape™: What is it?
VelaShape offers its patients four once-a-week treatments using a combination of radiofrequency waves, infrared light, suctioning, and massages. An improvement on the VelaSmooth™ procedure, VelaShape™ is alleged to work better by offering 50 watts of energy (as opposed to 20), which better targets the tissues in questions and reduces the amount of treatments necessary (each one lasts about 20 minutes). Plus, it offers something called "elos," which is "electrical-optical synergy" — basically these are waves of light and electrical energy that, like the radiofrequency laser, will slowly collapse connective tissue, but concentrate only on the selected area. Patients should know that VelaShape™ is suitable for all body shapes and colors; however, it is recommended only for patients who are fifty pounds overweight or less (Aesthetic Buyers' Guide).
If you seek a VelaShape™ treatment, here is what you should expect: your doctor will rub you with a handheld massager (that resembles a clothes iron) that will send out radiofrequency waves into your selected area. The massager has rollers which will smooth the skin while ensuring a consistent delivery of the waves, and providing a calming sensation to the patient. The procedure will last about 20 minutes, and mild inflammation will last for about two to three hours after finishing.
So Does VelaShape™ Work?
Sadick and Mulholland conducted a cellulite-study using 35 female patients to test the efficacy of VelaSmooth™ — which was an earlier version of the VelaShape™ procedure — on their thighs and buttocks. The subjects were given two treatments a week, with totals ranging from eight to 16 for the duration of the study — it is important to note that the women changed nothing about their diet or lifestyle while receiving treatment.
After four weeks, the investigators analyzed the changes with photographs, and also took skin biopsies from three patients. Within eight weeks, 100 percent of patients were shown (with photographs and testimonials) to have improved skin texture and reduced cellulite. Seventy percent (about 25) of the subjects reported changes in circumference and texture within four weeks, with 0.8 inches being the average loss (though some reported up to two inches). In all, the investigators reported few complications and side-effects after using the VelaSmooth™, and there is a very short recovery time — patients should be able to return to their regular activities within a few hours.
Unfortunately, it's not permanent. Those who've had VelaShape report that they had cellulite again after about six months.
The Bottom Line
As the only FDA cellulite treatment (check out FutureDerm's Best Cellulite Treatments), VelaShape™ certainly provides a tempting offer to those many of us with cellulite on our bottoms, thighs, or abdomen. However it's not a quick fix — many patients have reported reappearance of cellulite, or new cellulite, around six months after treatment. There are no short-term or long-term effects associated with VelaShape™, though that does not mean that this is a perfectly safe procedure to have — little research has been done on it. If you have a few unsightly bumps that you need smoothed out, you might want to give VelaShape™ a try — but don't expect to be magically toned and smooth forever.

Ruth Hill, or Mrs. Adolf B. Hill Jr. III as she liked her letters to be addressed, was the grand old lady of paper money collecting in North America.
Born in 1898, she remained an active collector all her life and a visitor to shows until a few years before her death at the age of 96. Ruth Hill became interested in banknote collecting in the 1950s, about the time of the death of her husband whose company sold specialty inks. Over more than 30 years she built a vast collection of notes from almost every country of the world and, at the same time, encouraged numerous new collectors. She was a founding member of IBNS and in 1966 she rescued the young society from collapse when it ran into severe financial difficulties and its survival was in doubt. She was later a board member and then president from 1979-81. Ruth Hill was appointed an Honorary Life Member and an honorary director for life in recognition of her long and vital support for the IBNS as an institution.

Forget English-only! Laws should be "Bilingual only"
I still vividly remember how devastated I felt when my son's speech therapist said that we should only speak English at home. I felt greedy even thinking about another language, after all, he had just been diagnosed profoundly deaf. I've spent my entire career in Hispanic media so I know well what an asset Spanish can be. But it's so much more than that. It's the language of my heart and I'm saddened when I think about others who I love being shut out of mi mundo!

As time went on and my son Michael started to speak (he uttered his first words at nearly 3 years of age), we secretly introduced Spanish. My Gringo husband continued to speak English but Maria, his loving babysitter and primary caregiver, only spoke Spanish to him!
I went back and forth (which they say is not the right thing to do). Fourteen years later he understands a lot of what we say in Spanish but he is not nearly as proficient as my 18-year-old daughter, Carolina. She is able to speak, read and write Spanish as proficiently as English.
I'd love to take credit for her being bilingual but I can assure you that the only reason she is perfectly bilingual is because she was fortunate to participate in a dual-language program offered by the New Rochelle school system. The program starts in Kindergarten and goes on through 8th grade! The 9-year program not only promoted proficiency and literacy in both languages but it also promoted biculturalism. Half of the kids who participated in the program were native Spanish speakers, the other half were native English speakers. The curriculum was 50/50 in Spanish and English. By the time my son got into Kindergarten the program became so popular among NON-Latinos that my son couldn't get in because he didn't make the lottery.
I am convinced that our entire nation would benefit greatly from more of these programs that promote bilingualism and biculturalism! I understand that it might not be appropriate for every child. The program worked best for children who were tested and scored average or high on English-language skills. As this nation becomes increasingly more multicultural, especially among youth, bilingualism and biculturalism could be the source of reinvention and growth!

Bank of England Governor Mervyn King said an economic recovery in the U.K. appears to be under way and advised his successor, Mark Carney, to "be himself."
Bank of England Governor Mervyn King retires in two days after a career that saw a decade of economic calm before a struggle with a financial crisis that initially threatened to end his leadership.
Bank of England Governor Mervyn King said it may be appropriate to review the U.K.'s inflation- targeting regime, and that government measures to strengthen the economy are needed to underpin a "gentle recovery."
Soccer legend Diego Maradona scored one of his most famous goals by taking the most direct route to his objective, wrong-footing defenders who expected him to alter course. Now, Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda is doing the same, an increasing number of economists say.
"Although it seemed to me that the government wished to ensure that, if it were possible, a plausible bid from the Co-operative Bank was able to be considered alongside other bids, that was a far cry from any improper conduct in the bidding process."

Meet The 'Real' FOSS Contributors!
Meet The 'Real' FOSS Contributors
There is always an ongoing debate in FOSS circles on how to define a FOSS contributor. What is real FOSS contribution? Who are the elite contributors, and who are the also-rans? This debate arises from a fundamental misunderstanding of how FOSS works, and what 'contribution' is. And people who waste everyone's time in indulging in this debate do not have a clue as to how FOSS projects work.
By: Kenneth Gonsalves
he very point is that the community as such does not distinguish between a user and a contributor. Every user is, by definition, also a contributor--and vice versa. How does one contribute? By writing code, doing documentation, translating, testing applications, reporting or fixing bugs, using applications, advocating FOSS adoption, writing tutorials, textbooks and how-tos, conducting training workshops, giving talks at user group meetings, attending user group meetings, monitoring mailing lists and chat channels, and asking and answering questions... or by just talking about FOSS--the list is endless.
Genuine FOSS contributors are absurdly grateful for even the smallest of contributions to their projects, and take a lot of time and effort to thank the contributors and help them out. Yes, even asking a question on a project mailing list is of enormous help--it shows that the documentation may be unclear, or the work-flow of the project confusing. Where would Firefox be without the lakhs of people who download and use it?
Anyway, it is time to focus on real contributors--so meet Baskar Selvaraj, CEO of linuXpert systems, Chennai. For pleasure and profit, Baskar has been focusing on FOSS in higher education in Tamil Nadu. Over the past decade, he has criss-crossed the state to conduct over 170 seminars, workshops and training programs related to FOSS in higher education. He has developed his own FOSSLAB server, which can be used to set up and maintain FOSS labs in colleges. This year, he has set up FOSS labs in more than 50 engineering and other colleges in the state, and is confident of breaking Sehwag's record for the highest score by an Indian!
He has developed a methodology--the first lab for an institution is free of cost, the others are paid for--and he also arranges Faculty Development Programmes, with the help of local Linux User Groups. Baskar can be reached at email@example.com. At the other end of the country is Narendra Sisodiya from the NCR. When not indulging in his favourite pastime of chiselling off the Windows keys on any keyboard he can get hold of, Narendra is engaged in a plethora of FOSS activities, which are too numerous to mention here. Among other things, he is the promoter of LUG@IITD, which has become the premier Linux Users' Group in the NCR. He has set up the portal for jobs at http://fossjobs.in, and started a project called eduvid (http://eduvid.techfandu.org), which proposes a whole new architecture of Web content delivery. Project Svg-Edit is a sub project he started, which is now a successful project; see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SVG-edit. This has subsequently been taken up by the main SVG community of developers, and they have extended it.Still, his main contribution is undoubtedly http://schoolos.org, a distro for schools around which an active community for promotion of FOSS in schools is built. A feature of SchoolOS is that it is completely without non-free software. He is now launching ELPA, an online shop to purchase pre-installed Linux machines.

A Little Nutty
By Susie Ekberg
Staff Writer
Q: Why do I suddenly have an overwhelming urge to declutter? I'm like a squirrel before winter, and it's driving my family a little nuts. What gives?
A: Apparently YOU give…away a lot of stuff right now. And that's a good thing! I think the first thing to remember is that if you get close to your family's stuff, they may start to get nervous; worried you might throw out their precious "stuff," so if you DO have expectations that they join you in your mad frenzy of de-stuffing your abode, be sure to be respectful of their fears, and don't expect them to join you in your fevered pitch of activity.
I've found that inner turmoil is translated into an intense desire to order my outside world. The stronger my urge to organize and declutter my home, the more internal change is going on. As within, so without. We sometimes think of spring as the time we declutter, aka spring cleaning, and I think it has a lot to do with our hibernation for those 5 or 6 months (depending on where you live). We go within – within our homes, within ourselves, and we contemplate, and stay a little quieter. When spring comes, everything starts growing again – it's all new growth, and we feel it within ourselves, as well. I'm not talking about the LITERAL spring (although that's true, too) – I'm talking more about that spiritual spring cycle we go through.
If you think that your life is always supposed to be moving forward, moving fast, being productive, acquiring things, more more more, you'll get burned out and filled to the brim awfully fast. Life is a series of back and forths, of creation and destruction, of moving forward and of being still.
If you're in touch with your own inner flows, you'll be able to locomote optimally on this physical plane. If not, well, good luck! You'll probably experience a lot of crashing and burning, fatigue, feelings of being overwhelmed, stalling and running in place.
When we're not in rhythm with our natural energies, everything (and everybody) around us suffers. So I like it that you're going with your natural rhythm that is now saying, "CLEAN! Get rid of the old stuff to make room for the new! You don't need that old thing anymore!"
It's a great time to evaluate your current life and take stock. What no longer suits you, what no longer fits? If you take the time to keep only what resonates with who you are right now, you will be harmonious with your environment, and that will also help you be the best that you can be.
I'm not talking about a professional organizer-type operation here. I'm talking about a casual walk-through of your home with a discerning eye. Are you holding onto that dusty poster from high school? Really? Really? It's okay to let it go.
While you're reading this, I want you to make a fist – close it really tight. Now try to pick up this newspaper. Kind of hard to do when you're holding on so tightly, isn't it? It's the same way with life. When we hold on to anything too tightly, unwilling to let it go, whether it's thoughts or people or things, we limit ourselves as to how much (and what) we can hold and receive. Now open your hand. Just keep it empty. Now grab the newspaper. Easy, right? From the open hand standpoint you can now hold and have anything you want. Think "open."
Apply this open hand principle to your belongings. Just because you've always had it isn't a valid argument. Just because someone gave it to you isn't a valid argument. Do you really WANT to own and have this thing anymore? If the answer is no, consider giving it away, or if it's unfixable, throwing it away. Can you extend your current decluttering energy to people, situations, and thought patterns as well? Oh c'mon, let's try, shall we?
Think of the friends you most frequently spend time with. Think of them one by one. Are they kind, supportive, respectful, affirming? Or negative, energy-sucking, back-stabbing and crabby? How do you feel when you're with them? That will be your clue.
If they don't resonate with who you are now, you may want to back off and start by spending less time with them. Gradually you may find them drifting out of your life all on their own, feeling somehow that the friendship has changed, and that you've moved on.
Do you find yourself constantly critical, negative, saying yes when you want to say no? Honestly look at yourself (or ask a trusted friend or loved one) and see if there are any behaviors you're interested in changing, then brainstorm different ways of being in the world. You might want to try the experiment I did a few month's back of being a consciously kind driver (man, that was tough!) for a week or a month. Or you might try saying no to all requests for help for a week. Or you might try writing down 10 things you're grateful for each day, or not saying anything negative for the next two weeks. Start small and see how you feel. Lighter? Happier? More peaceful? You might want to keep up your mental and emotional decluttering.
I'm really proud of you for starting your decluttering like this, but I'd add another thing: don't keep adding anything new unless you're SURE it resonates with the new you. Otherwise you're just perpetuating the vicious cycle of excess, and that's not especially helpful. I made an interesting discovery a few month's back when I stopped and looked at what I felt drawn to buy a lot of. Here's the short list: blank journals, pens, blankets, food, and books. If I look at the symbolism of those desires, I can see a very basic part of who I am – someone for whom writing is very important (journals and pens), someone for whom comfort and nurturing are important (blankets and food), and knowledge (books).
Once I figured out that I was simply acting out of those basic feelings, I no longer needed to buy a surplus of those things. I acknowledged those deep desires, and for now those urges have been quelled (although probably buying an excess amount of food for the pantry may be the overflow of my pioneer heritage – you never know when a blizzard could strike – even in July).
Declutter when you feel the need to declutter. Live with what IS when you just want to BE. Buy something if it is REALLY important to you and your life. But above all, I urge you to get in touch with what you want and need to do, then respect those feelings and work WITH them, not against them. See what magic develops in your life when everything is in harmony – it will be a magnificent symphony of YOU-ness, and that's always a beautiful thing!

"Hercules" is the second attempt this year to make an incarnation of the Greek warrior after "The Legend of Hercules."

I already have a place to stay and an idea as to how much I will have to spend on food. I just want things to do and people to hang out with the nights of the 19th and the 20th. I understand that those are Wednesday and Thursday nights, and you Canadians have something we Americans don't have (jobs), and those nights aren't really optimal for going out and tearing places down. I'm down for some Sushi at Zero One (or any other recommended sushi place downtown). I thought there was a sushi restaurant under the pedestrian overpass of the Pacific Place Mall (or some other mall with a pedestrian overpass), but my memory of Vancouver from 2006 probably doesn't apply almost 5 full years later.
I'll be in Vancouver from Jan 19-21, going to the game on Jan 20 vs. San Jose. I'm looking for things to do in downtown Vancouver after the game on the 20th.
I'm definitely looking for a very social place to go after the game on the 20th. I know I can't miss with Downtown Vancouver, but someone throw this hockey-tourist a bone plz?

Archaeology Programs
Come join the Montpelier Archaeological Team on a week-long excavation. Work side-by-side one of the archaeologists at Montpelier on rediscovering the Madison plantation in the ground and live on the property in a restored antebellum home. We have folks of all ages (from 8 to 80) participate and you don't need any experience to attend--we make it our job to train you as part of the dig team! Our schedule for the 2014 dig season is:
In addition to the dig programs, we offer historic artifact workshops, and metal detecting programs. For the metal detecting programs, we will be exploring a set of slave quarters on Chicken Mountain and in the East Woods.
The Department also hosts two archaeological field schools for undergraduate, graduate, and seniors in high school looking for college credit.
We are also starting a log cabin construction school this coming February. This log cabin school will train the public late 18th century log-cabin construction techniques to reconstruct a late 18th century slave quarter at Montpelier.
For more information about how to participate in this program, please contact Matthew Reeves, Director of Archaeology and Landscape Restoration, at email@example.com or (540) 672-2728 x 160.

While natural gas has pushed its way to center stage in the alternative fuels discussion, the investment in equipment and infrastructure make it less than appealing to many fleets. However, anyone who is currently running on diesel fuel can easily switch to a greener alternative without that type of up-front investment. They simply have to fill up their fuel tank with biodiesel.

Crate Spaces in 24 Hours

As companies outgrow their original spaces, they find themselves needing temporary offices in a hurry. Dutch designer Jack Brandsma has a unique and attractive solution he will be showing at the design show next month in Milan. Any vacant building can be an office in 24 hours, and then gone just as quick.

Peres to discuss Pollard with Obama during visit

President Shimon Peres will raise the issue of releasing convicted spy Jonathan
Pollard from an American prison on humanitarian grounds when he meets with US
President Barack Obama, during the latter's planned visit to Israel next
month.Peres, toward the conclusion of a tour of the Sdot Negev Regional
Council on Tuesday, met with 200 local high school students and was asked by
pupils during the meeting about the possibility of securing Pollard's
release.Peres replied that just as he has raised the Pollard issue with
Obama during previous meetings, he will do so again."I will do
everything in my power to convey a clear message that Jonathan Pollard must have
his sentence commuted on humanitarian grounds, just as I, as president, act to
commute sentences on humanitarian grounds," said Peres.A petition
calling for Pollard's release has so far been signed by close to 70,000
Israelis.Peres also answered questions about the rocket that hit
Ashkelon earlier that day and the simmering unrest in the West
Bank."Quiet will be met with quiet," he said, "and missiles will be met
with an appropriate response."The Palestinians have an interest in
maintaining quiet, said Peres, noting that without quiet, they endanger the
development of their civil life and their agriculture.The president said
he had no desire to be a prophet of doom, nor was he inclined to respond to
rumors, and said he would not say more on the subject before receiving a
detailed report from security authorities.While inspecting the local
greenhouse on the Tekuma moshav, Peres commended the farmers for their stoicism
under fire and their ability to produce excellent yields despite the security
situation. Peres also joined the 30 farmers – who are developing new strains of
produce – in harvesting tomatoes, and was pleasantly surprised when one of them,
Zion Cohen, said they decided to name a tomato after him.Peres said that
regardless of the security situation, he could see that crops were flourishing,
due in no small measure to agro-tech which he believed could help the rest of
the Middle East, and ultimately other parts of the world, to find a way out of
poverty and starvation.

A man received minor injuries after the van he was driving veered off the road and crashed into the Salvation Army Thrift Store on Victoria Road.
Staff Sgt. Reginald Hutchings of Cape Breton Regional Police said the driver, 32, appeared to have a "medical issue" at about 7 p.m. Monday, when the 2003 Ford Windstar drove into the side of the building.
No one was in the store and the driver was alone in the vehicle, police said.
The van and building were heavily damaged and the driver was taken to hospital with cuts.
"It's good that the store was closed at the time," said Hutchings.
"The van was right in the building. No doubt the van sustained heavy damage."

Rainbow Kitchen, UPMC Health Plan to partner in Walk and Ride Against Hunger event
Rainbow Kitchen Community Services in Homestead and UPMC Health Plan are reaching a milestone this month in the war against hunger.
The 10th annual Walk and Ride Against Hunger is scheduled for May 31 at the Pump House in the Munhall section of the Waterfront.
Registration and a health and wellness expo begin at 9 a.m. The walk and ride starts at 10 and prize drawings begin at 12:30 p.m.
Participants will use the Great Allegheny Passage to walk and/or ride the trail in the Waterfront and beyond.
Health screenings, chair massages and children's activities are planned at the Pump House.
"It's our major annual fundraising event, and it's a significant source of funding for our program," Rainbow Kitchen executive director Donna Little said. "It's for a really good cause. Rainbow Kitchen is really helping a lot of people."
People can register for the walk and ride online at www.rainbowkitchen.org or submit a registration form, which is available for download on the website.
Cost is $15 for adults, $10 for youths ages 18 and younger, and $10 for any student in high school, college or trade school.
Those who register by May 16 can take advantage of a $5 discount, meaning adult registration fees would be $10 and others $5.
All registered participants receive a free T-shirt and prize ticket.
Those who bring a minimum $25 donation for Rainbow Kitchen the day of the event will receive an additional prize ticket. Event-goers can register and purchase more prize tickets at the Pump House.
"We don't have a target amount (for donations at the fundraiser)," Little said. "The thing we're focusing on the most right now is participation, and even it's not so much a number. It's an event that is family-friendly. There are a lot of people that have been coming every year. We're looking forward to having a good turnout."
All proceeds go toward Rainbow Kitchen and its many services. Call 412-464-1892 for more information.
UPMC Health Plan partnered with the nonprofit to initiate WAR Against Hunger in 2004.
"I was really amazed just how many years we've been doing it now," Little said. "It's evolved over the years. We've had it a couple different locations, and we're really excited about the location we started last year at the Pump House. It's bringing it back to Homestead, to the area where we're located. It helps highlight the historical aspects of Homestead and the Rainbow Kitchen, and it's a beautiful setting along the river."
Rainbow Kitchen is celebrating its 30th anniversary serving struggling families in the Steel Valley area. It has been a strong and reliable source of aid for people in need, and a vital safety net for hungry children, families, low-income elderly and disabled individuals, and people who are homeless, unemployed or among the working poor.
"In the last several years, when the economy went so bad and a lot of people were adversely affected, a lot of people didn't bounce back," Little said. "The funding and the resources that we need to provide services haven't increased like the need has."
Rainbow Kitchen is supported through AmazonSmile, a free option for amazon.com customers.
Go to smile.amazon.com, select Rainbow Kitchen as a charity, then shop as normal. A portion of the purchase price is donated to the organization.
Monetary donations can be mailed directly to Rainbow Kitchen, 135 E. Ninth Ave., Homestead, 15120, or by going online at www.rainbowkitchen.org.

Everyone at Lynchburg College enjoy and love varsity sports. It's a big deal there.
As a member of both a varsity sport and an intramural team, I am very involved in the athletic life at Lynchburg College. Most of my peers are active in athletics in some way or another, whether it be cheering from the stands or competing at the varsity, club, or intramural level. Competition through athletics is very important to the Lynchburg College student body.
The fitness center on campus is really nice and has all the equipment you would ever need to use. The soccer field and track are really nice as too and are well maintained. The Wake Field House needs to be updated and renovated (the same could be said for the basketball court) due to the year it was built and the large amounts of asbestos. The tennis courts and softball/baseball fields are average.
I'm not too involved with sports but a lot of people I hangout with are
On our campus, we are known for rugby and lacrosse.

This is a beautiful property offering a large paved lot with 50 marked parking spaces and an additional lot for extra parking. The building is over 5,200 sq. feet and is constructed of concrete and steel. The entire property has been rewired in the last 5 years and offers 3 A/C units. The property is beautifully landscaped and maintained. The building has a large front dining area with hand crafted booths and other decor, there is an extra dining room great for privare parties or events, and a large bar featuring additional seating and an easily accessible liqueur room storage. Kitchen space is not a problem here. There is plenty of space for both kitchen and other staff members. Another great feature of the kitchen is its large built-in wood fire pit. Storage isn't an issue here either. You'll find plenty of storage throughout the building and behind the building. All in all, this is a great opportunity with many more features.
