Patriots sign veteran DB Nate Jones, a former slot corner and special teamer
The Patriots released CB Phillip Adams yesterday, a surprise move that may not have had to do with his play. But it did open up a spot on the 53-man roster. Who fills it? A player who seems just like Adams. The Patriots signed DB Nate Jones, a Rutgers product who has played for the Cowboys and Dolphins. He sounds like a good blitzer and slot corner who plays special teams. Not bad...

Phillip Adams' Release Could Be Positive Sign for Health of Patrick Chung, Devin McCourty
The Patriots released cornerback Phillip Adams on Tuesday, and the roster transaction could mean any number of things. Adams played primarily in the slot in nickel and dime packages, though he received some work on the outside at times this season, most notably when Antwaun Molden was benched in the second half against the Steelers.

The Patriots have gotten contributions from a whole bunch of random faces in the secondary, with slot corner Phillip Adams helping as much as anyone.Now, the Patriots will need to rely on some other no-names, rather than Adams, the former 2010 seventh rounder. I'm told the Patriots are releasing the former 49ers castoff, though the reason is not clear. Adams has played well, and...

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama says he's surprised that House Majority Leader Eric Cantor is accusing him of failing to work with Congress on immigration.
Cantor said after the two men spoke by phone Wednesday that Obama still hasn't learned how to work effectively with lawmakers.
Obama told reporters during a press conference Thursday that they actually had a "very pleasant conversation" and that he called the Virginia Republican to wish him a happy Passover. Obama says there was a mismatch between Cantor's stance in private and public.
Obama supports a bipartisan Senate bill that has stalled in the House, where Republicans prefer a piecemeal approach. Obama said in a statement before their call that Republicans are behind the times on immigration.

NAPLES, Fla - A Naples lawyer is at the center of expanding a memorial to remember the victims of Flight 93, the plane that crashed in a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania on 9/11.
A lot has changed in the last year. The big thing, crews broke ground on Phase II of the project Tuesday. It's still years from being done, but it's near and dar to one Naples man and he's not stopping until the job is finished.
Not a day goes by that Patrick White doesn't think about his cousin Louis "Joey" Nacke III. "Some people feel their actions are the ones that began the first counter attack on the war on terror," says White during an interview at his Naples law office.
Nacke was one of 40 lives lost on Flight 93 when the plane crashed into a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. "They acted in a democratic fashion and chose their fate rather than to sit down and be passive."
Ten years ago Congress asked White, a Naples lawyer, and a dozen others, to develop a national memorial honoring the passenger of Flight 93.
"We've been very patient, we've been very persistent and I think at this point, again with this ground breaking seeing things come to fruition," says White.
A memorial wall engraved with the name of each victim stands in the middle of a National Park in Shanksville. Now, crews are adding a visitors center, education center and pedestrian bridge.
"It's more than just history, it's the reality of the tragedy and horrors of that day and now it's a quiet field for reflection," says White.
Eventually, they will break ground on Phase III, the Tower of Voices. It's a 93 foot tower with 40 chimes, one for each person that died on September 11, 2001.
"Few are the people on their first visit that don't shed a tear," says White.
Phase two is set to be finished in about two years and looking ahead, White hopes Phase III will be done in time for the 15th anniversary of 9/11.

Asia's biggest Christian convention begins in Kerala
Asia's biggest Christian convention got underway here Sunday with Philipose Mar Chrysostum, senior metropolitan of the Mar Thoma Church, leading the opening worship.
The 119th edition of the week-long meet, called Maramon Convention and organised by the Mar Thoma Evangelistic Association, got underway on the river bed of Pampa here.
Maramon is on the banks of the Pampa river, about 20 km from Thiruvalla. The convention takes place on the river bed under a sprawling temporary shed, made of coconut leaves, which will seat about a lakh of people.
The Mar Thoma community has nearly a million believers and for any devout Mar Thomaite, a visit to the convention is a must. Christians from other denominations also attend the congregation.
Each day will have three separate sessions for women and men and a series of prayer and devotional music sessions.
A large number of Kerala politicians also attend the convention. With Lok Sabha polls around the corner, a huge influx of politicians is expected this year.
Union Minister Sashi Tharoor, Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman P.J.Kurien (who belongs to the Mar Thoma church) and state Water Resources Minister P.J. Joseph were present at the inaugural session.

So there went something wrong with the item comparison tool. Here are the items:
I assumed it was for a druid? o:
My Ret pally set :D
My warrior masquerading as a Death Knight >:)
Thanks for the submission. It's always nice to pretend to be another class, especially when some classes seem to always get cooler armour sets *cough warlocks*
Cute and girly? Oh and you can use an invisible belt instead of this one as DK you buy it at the starting area of the DK's, the shoulders have like little cute flames out of it you just don't see it in this screenshot. And sorry for the late reply I have been very busy lately :/
I first made the silver-gold one, it was more based around the blue/golden look of the shield. But then I came across these more purple items and decided to make a second xmog around the shield since I thought it was a waste to throw the other away. Now you have two too choose from o:
First: http://www.wowhead.com/compare?items=76765:76769:94988:103848:65080:65137:65022:65225:76767
Second: http://www.wowhead.com/compare?items=50680:78308:86328:103848:29239:24364:30032:25942:78330
Also I was not really sure about the head from the second xmog, couldn't find heads that were only with gold :x so you might hide it.
Modest enough I hope? She reminded me of Carice van Houten in Game of Thrones lol!
So I made two diffrent xmogs, one more based around the colour white, and the other more based around the colour yellow/gold.
First: http://www.wowhead.com/compare?items=78212:89486:30151:78216:77187:27412:30154

Fact.Exactly. Thank you.
Love this song for some reason
hey guys!
good afternoon~~
i know it might be a late notice but i've actually discontinued my fan mailbox until further notice. I just wanted to say to those who sent me letters, packages or even thought of sending me anything…THANK YOU & I LOVED!!! receiving those letters and being encouraged by them. Don't worry, i'll have another P.O. Box soon! Sorry again for the late notice guys.
love you guys and have the BESTEST day EVER!love,b*
I was alarmed when I saw this post & felt I had to re share the message.
N.B. The link is more for people who live in the States so they can contact Representative & stop it. I know it sounds like a drag but you don't need to write them an essay. Just keep it short, simple & clear and most importantly, polite. ^^
It just doesn't feel right without Bekah and Soyoung. Can't they come back and do their part in the MV? It makes me sad… they should have just debuted with a different song in Japan. :/
i know :\
Title: "From Afar"
Hey guys,
So I finally finished another piece.
I really enjoy the ocean and the life it has, so it influences me ALOT. You'll probably find that out over time.
So enjoyyyy and take care, adios~~~
Have A Nice Day.
That recent selka Bekah tweeted.. *cries* Miss her so much! I miss her 'flow' in the group. Her presence. She was the spice.. all bundled in a ball of sunshine. She still is a ball of brilliant sunshine but I miss her in the group. I support her though (but I miss her). ㅠㅠ~ It was nice to have…
Sorry it took so long, buddy xD.

UFC Light Heavyweight champ Jon "Bones" Jones was arrested early this morning for DUI after he totaled his Bentley in upstate New York ... TMZ has learned.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Jones was involved in an accident at around 5:00 AM in Binghamton, NY. We're told the car -- which Jones crashed into a pole -- was totaled and cops arrested Jones on the scene for DUI.
According to our sources, Jones was taken into custody by Broome County Sheriff and bailed out a few hours later ... by his mom. Jones is from nearby Ithaca.
How's this for irony? Jones filmed a video earlier this year about going through police training -- and he did it with the Broome County Sheriff ... the same agency that arrested him!
Jones last fought on April 21, defeating Rashad Evans by unanimous decision. His next scheduled fight is on September 1 in Las Vegas against Dan Henderson.
Jones's manager, Malki Kawa, released a statement saying, "I can confirm that Jon Jones was arrested early this morning on suspicion of DUI. While the facts of this situation are still being gathered and situated, First Round Management fully supports Jon, and we are asking for fans and media to respect the privacy of Jon and his family during this time."
Via text, UFC prez Dana White tells TMZ, "Wow, i guess its not my week is it?"
This is an essential building block for this kid. He's young, and young people do stupid ****. Hopefully DW doesn't get his panties in a twist and do something stupid, like stripping him of his belt or something dumb. Hopefully hes ok and ready for a fight with Hendo, which could cause more bodily harm then some crash. Best of luck kid.
F*ck this steroid infused homoerotic sport.
What kind of pressure are these guys under? I remember Rampage Jackson went on a Rampage with his 4x4 truck in Orange County right after winning the title, now Jones?
Something aint right ?????
This is STUPID! You can afford a Bentley- you cab afford a driver! Come on!
Its not ironic... most cops I know drink and drive as well !!!
Respect HIS privacy!!!!???? Bull****, throw him in the slammer.
His mamma gonna take a belt to his hide when she get him home, gonna go all Joe Jackson on his azz....
Too bad no one knows that back in June 2007 he was incarcerated in the Broome County Jail in Binghamton, N.Y. fo Burglury. He spent about four months there. I know this because I was in the Cell Next To Him Unfortunately.
is jon jones is a carzy guy!!!!!!!!!!!
Binghampton NY is not upstate NY, its near Pennslyvania.
He should have been arrested for his last fight. So boring it was felonious.
I have no sympathy or respect for anyone that chooses to drive drunk. If you have the money to go out to a bar and get drunk then you have enough money to arrange for a cab before you do so. I'm sick of hearing "oh they're young and do stupid sh*t", there is absolutely no excuse for risking the lives of innocent people. I am not violent but people that drive drunk ...I just want to slap them upside the head for being so utterly stupid.
Dont know who he is.... dont care.
You've got a hell of a lot of talent and seem like a smart enough person, so quit this dumb stuff and don't throw it away while you are seriously risking it for others at the same time! This was just stupid and dangerous!

Appreciating Architecture with @yukomouton
For more of Yuko's collection of architecture, follow @yukomouton on Instagram.
"I can't quite describe my fascination with architecture in words, but I think I am intrigued by the idea of creating space," says Tokyo Instagrammer Yuko Kawauchi (@yukomouton). While architectural photography is mainly a personal interest for Yuko, it also becomes a source of inspiration for her work as a fashion designer. "Geometric shapes found in buildings," she explains, "do shine through in my pattern sketches and cuttings."
Yuko's initial appreciation for architecture developed after she went to an old building to take photos for Instagram. "I had thought that architecture and fashion were two completely different fields until then, but they actually do share certain terminologies and that got me further interested."
Now, Yuko's Instagram photos have become a collection of uniquely shaped structures found all over Tokyo—as well as from other cities around the world—including museums, churches, libraries and apartment buildings. "I don't consider my photos to be a work of art," she says. "I share these photos hoping to inform people about these locations and spark their curiosity about visiting them."
Gothic and renaissance architecture / churches in black and white
Matthias Church is a Roman Catholic church located in Budapest, Hungary. The current building was constructed in the florid late Gothic style in the second half of the 14th century and was extensively restored in the late 19th century. It was the second largest church of medieval Buda and the seventh largest church of medieval Hungarian Kingdom. // edit by me

A Bag for Commuting
Beating the system - the cycling commuting section
Re: A Bag for Commuting
I don't even notice the effect of having one rear pannier while. I've had as much as 10kg in it. When stopped you notice but that is to be expected.
In fact I've never ridden with both my paniers on the bike. Mine are big enough I haven't felt the need. Its much easier having to take off only 1 bag.
Re: A Bag for Commuting
I've been riding around with only one pannier lately - because my Brooks Conquest saddle doesn't have the loops for my saddle-bag straps. I wouldn't know that I had it on if I didn't put it there myself. I've been carrying a cooler bag and cold or iced water with me regularly.
I typically prefer to use the saddle-bag only.
I cannot wait to be able to afford a set of Carradice Kendal Panniers in Green...

Re: A Bag for Commuting
What you say about air resistance not being a problem until you maintain a speed of 48Km/Hr may be true. But would it count if I am maintaining 25Km/Hr into a 30-40Km/Hr headwind. When I have no choice I simply have to decide to make the most of it, that would be look at it as extra training etc. On the way to work it started to rain as soon as I left home and did not let up for the entire 15Km, no water got into the trunk and I did not have to use either pannier. On the way home tonight I took the 30Km route with both paniers full, (two towells, two changes of clothes, all the regular regular bike repair equipment, leatherman, wallet, large glasses case, phone, ipod, pager, bench mount bike repair stand etc. It was hot and muggy and there was a moderate head wind, all in all a very pleasant trip in both directions.
When I mentioned using the car it was for when I take things like a blower/vac, a ladder and/or a pressure washer, think the picture of the bloke moving his fridge. Anything is possible and when needs be will be done, but if I am going to work anyway for big items or I am doing something else and I can make a ten minute detour to take a week worth of clothing to work, that makes sense to me.
Don't get me wrong I did not mean to sound completly anti panniers or back packs. I already have a back pack and my Wiggle wish list has had a pair of Ortleib Back Roller Panniers on it for ages, to help with the bigger loads, or the wet weather. But so far they just haven't risen high enough on the list of priorities for me to buy them before I get to the end of that months money. It won't happen overnight but it will happen, why is there always so much month left at the end of the money? What I was trying to point out was that the trunk bag with two built-in drop-down panniers will carry almost as much as most panniers, but it puts a lot of that stuff up behind my not inconsiderable butt where it does not create any more drag or widen the load into traffic be it pedestrian or vehicular.
It would be a very boring world if there was only one way to do things, no matter which way you travel I hope to see on the trails someday.
Re: A Bag for Commuting
So you've ridden with regular full-sized panniers and found they were causing noticably more drag than what you're using now?
Re: A Bag for Commuting
I haven't ridden with "regular full-sized" panniers in about twenty years, so there may be little or no difference between them and the smaller ones that are part of my trunk bag when they are down and full. But I have noticed the extra wind resistance when riding with my "little" panniers down instead of folded up. The most clear example in my mind was a time when riding home I started to get warm, pulled over to remove a layer or two, and had to drop one of the panniers down. I felt better for being cooler but did notice the way the head wind seemed to be pushing against me a little harder. All very subjective I know, but for me conclusive and yet those Ortleib Back rollers are still on my wish list.
As a side issue in the last couple of days I have fitted aero bars to my Scott Sub 20, a flat bar road bike, and although I am still getting used to them I think they make a bigger difference than the panniers being in or out.
I guess in some ways you could call me a weight glutton and an air resistance weenie, but I would be as happy with that as a weight weenie would be with their title.
"Different strokes for different folks." And this different folk wishes all you other different folk a very pleasant ride the next time you get on your bike, and looks forward to the time when it is the ones in the smoke machines that are thought of as different (and perhaps just a little crazy).
Have a great ride,
Re: A Bag for Commuting
Thinking of getting the MTX trunk bag myself. How does it go with fitting a pair of runners in? I don't really need big panniers as all I need to carry is my lunch, a t-shirt, socks and jocks, and runners to go to the gym. Plus the usual tools and puncture gear and a spray jacket. My current back pack is getting a bit heavy with all this in it.
Re: A Bag for Commuting
Hi Mugglechops
Depending on the size of your feet, &/or whether you are prepared to carry your runners with you other clothes and food, you should be able to get most if not all that into the top section without having to drop either of the panniers. If you go ahead I think you will be pleasantly surprised at how much you can stuff into the top section. Everyone is different but for the sorts of things you are talking about I think you will find it ideal. Enough room to carry the regular stuff, and when the need arises you can drop the panniers and carry home a bag or two of shopping as well.
There are different models and sizes, but with mine once I have stuffed all that I can into the top section there is elastic webbing on top and I tend to carry a few bits and pieces in the side compartments with the panniers.
Quality wise I have had mine for over a year commuting almost every day. Just shy of 8000Kms and it is only just starting to show the first signs of wear. Of all the parts and accessories I have purchased for my bike it is one of the ones I have been happiest with, for me it works.
I hope you end up as happy with your choice as I have with mine.
Re: A Bag for Commuting
Thanks sounds just like what I need.
I would like to find a shop with one in stock just to check though
Re: A Bag for Commuting
I know what you mean, but I am afraid I won't be any help to you as all the stores that I know of that have them in stock are a wee bit south of you.
Good Luck.
Re: A Bag for Commuting
So....this is my 3rd, 4th bag for commuting (depending if one counts a bag that has never been used).
Anyhoo, I posted this photo in another thread but posting it again They ran out last year but got notified that this was again in stock and so I am now awaiting delivery
http://www.planet-x-bikes.co.uk/i/q/BAS ... eather-kit
Now, I'm just going to see if I can contain my joy and excitement over the next few weeks
Where other females have a shoe addiction, I have a serious bike bag addiction. So unless I can come across another set of leather panniers which is as stylish as this one...this will serve me, oh say, over the next couple of months. I'll justify this as part of the Autumn collection. If I go by seasons, I can truly justify having 4 sets of panniers.

Re: A Bag for Commuting
I've been looking at the Deuter Futura 28 back pack only because I don't want to put panniers on my bike.
Anyone have any feedback on these bags?
Re: A Bag for Commuting
I can recommend Dueter, my panniers are 12 years old and going strong.
The previous (cheaper) ones I had only lasted 12 months.
Re: A Bag for Commuting
I heard nothing but good things about Deuter but I'm worried the bag will be too big for my back. I've only managed to find the Deuter Futura 28 online so haven't had the opportunity to try one on.
I need the bag to be comfortable, have a rain cover and not have the actual back sit on my back causing shoes etc to poke at me as I ride. The Deuter Futura 28 ticks all those boxes and is spacious to fit work clothes, shoes, towel and lunch but is it too big? It's a 28L bag. A pannier is not an option.
Re: A Bag for Commuting
Just a comment on the rear Tioga racks I'm using- the bolts have the tendency of rubbing against my pannier bags so make sure you duct tape the bolts or they will leave marks.

Re: A Bag for Commuting
Well I have invested in a rack top bag as I have managed to cut my work payload down quite a bit, by stashing shoes and toiletries at work. Lately I've only been needing one side of my panniers, but they're the dutch style built-together kind. Still loving them for picnics & the grocery run etc though.
I seem to have got a bit obsessed by bike bags - it's either a girl thing or I may be developing a case of "Sherpa" ... though it's comforting to see upthread i'm not the only one with this proclivity!

Re: A Bag for Commuting
Yeah I was looking at that - good for the rear rack but the place I saw it (a cycle chic type of website) didn't have it in leather. How waterproof is it?

Re: A Bag for Commuting
I have 4, 5 erm...bike bags (double rear panniers) so far. I started from the functional to the funkylooking functional so I think I'm done for now. My take on this is how seasonal the bag is. I have my "Spring" commuting bag, my "Autumn" collection, ermmm...my summer bag is lasting into the autumn so far so I don't really have a Winter collection yet.
I like this red bag on this Gucci bike though I think the strap could be more stylish. It downmarkets the leather bag with that awful strap.
LVMH can seriously bankrupt me if they start producing dedicated double rear pannier leather bags. I've been looking at Brooks Carradice but so far am quite happy with my Selle Monte Grappa.
If your bike looks good (including your bags), then you're more likely to ride it often.

Re: A Bag for Commuting
I don't think it has been tested in rain, but the fabric is very tough and durable to feel and is described as 'highly water-resistant'. I'm pretty confident it'll keep dry for 1/2 hr - 1 hr in rain, not so sure about all-day out in the rain.

Re: A Bag for Commuting
I use a 24L Osprey Stratos backpack for short trips to Uni and friends (5-7KM) as having it in backpack format is good when walking around campus during the day. The bag has an air channel design to allow breathing around your back and has proper chest, should and waist clips/adjustability for support. However when it is loaded up with groceries etc it is quite cumbersome and top heavy, not idea for trips longer than a few KM.
However I have ordered some Ortlieb panniers (2x20L) for trips to work and other longer trips where I need more cargo space, need better handling and give my body more freedom.

Woohoo, enablers!
Ooh! I have spent more time than I want to admit drooling over that store (and love the brown canvassy looking doctor's bag one) but haven't been game to drop that order of cash without knowing how well put together they are. That endorsement is good info!

Re: A Bag for Commuting
Just checked with SWMBO and turns out last weekend the bag was used and exposed to plenty of rain. Everything stayed dry inside. The only weak point would be the zipper, which will not be waterproof, but it was not an issue last Sunday in Melbourne.

Re: A Bag for Commuting
Ok... I have a base training period looming I think. So, I need a backpack. The $19 Aldi special isn't that comfortable. What I'm after is a light backpack of medium dimensions that is water resistant. Critically I'd like some system to keep the sweat off my back if possible and one that is super comfy to wear. Any thoughts?
I will be using this on the road bike so no point even thinking panniers.
Once you can climb hills on a bike it's all downhill.
Hopefully I'll know what that's like..... one day.

Civilian agencies set to release sequestration details to employees
Tuesday - 2/5/2013, 6:25pm EST
Civilian federal agencies are expected to begin telling employees how automatic budget cuts set to go into effect in March will impact them, according to federal employee unions who were briefed by Obama administration officials.
The Office of Management and Budget gave agency heads the go-ahead to begin communicating to their employees as early as Tuesday about the possible effects of sequestration, including employee furloughs.
The automatic cuts, slated to hit March 1, would require an 8.2 percent across-the-board cut to agency budgets.
OMB and the Office of Personnel Management briefed federal-employee union officials Monday.
The notices that agencies send to employees will not serve as an actual notice of furlough, according to a statement from National Treasury Employees Union President Colleen Kelley. Instead, the agency guidance will present a range of options to be taken should the budget cuts be implemented.
That includes reviewing contract spending for potential savings and cutting back on travel and training.
In a memo issued last month, OMB told agency heads to "intensify" their planning for sequestration, including considering reducing civilian workforce costs through hiring freezes and buyout offers. But OMB directed agencies not to take any immediate actions at that time.
Will unions be kept in the loop?
Administration officials reassured union leaders that agencies should keep federal unions informed of their sequestration plans. Kelley said NTEU has been trying to wrest information about the impact of the cuts.
"However, NTEU does not yet have specific details of what agencies are planning," she said in a statement. "NTEU is asking agencies to first examine government contracts and look to make cuts in those programs, as well as other cost-cutting measures that can be taken before considering furloughs."
The American Federal of Government Employees denounced the earlier guidance from OMB for imposing a "disproportionate sacrifice" of the planning on federal workers as opposed to reducing contract spending. AFGE President J. David Cox continued that line of criticism with the latest announcement.
"OMB has served up a buffet of cuts for agencies to make to the federal workforce in the event that sequestration takes effect beginning March. ... Yet OMB still hasn't given agencies any useful or explicit guidance for reducing spending on service contracts," Cox said in a statement. "According to this latest memo, OMB is still examining contracts, grants and other expenditures to determine where spending reductions might be made."
Another sequestration delay?
The Defense Department has also issued sequestration-planning guidance to its components. Many of the services, such as the Army and the Air Force, have put a freeze on civilian hiring in the face of ongoing budget uncertainty. The Navy has also begun implementing two rounds of budget cutbacks.
Meanwhile, President Barack Obama asked Congress Tuesday to delay the implementation of sequestration — which lawmakers have already done once — and instead focus on a short-term deficit-reduction package.
However, congressional Republican leaders pounced on Obama's proposal, saying additional tax hikes to reduce the deficit are off the table.
And even federal unions are looking askance at another sequestration delay.
"Kicking the can down the road may be a good option for elected officials, but it does nothing to relieve the pressure on federal workers living in fear of a furlough notice landing on their desk," said National Federation of Federal Employees President William Dougan.
Dougan, who likened sequestration to "taking a hatchet to one area of the budget," said federal employees are seeking real solutions to the budget challenges.

In Focus: Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
Oct 20, 2014 | PERMALINK »
Food and Nutrition Service Releases Q&A on SNAP E&T Pilots
By Helly Lee
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Employment and Training (SNAP E&T) pilots are a highly anticipated opportunity to develop and implement innovative strategies that can shape and strengthen future policymaking. As interested states and their local partners plan their applications, numerous questions arise about what is allowable under the pilots.
On October 10th, the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) released part two of their Q&A addressing questions from potential applicants. Topics include work requirements, time limits, pilot participants, screening, and allowable activities. Part one addressed eligible applicants, maintenance of effort, pilot funding versus 50-percent reimbursements, supplanting, financial questions, and evaluation design. The Q&A provides information that can help states and their local partners fine tune their applications to ensure they align with the goals of the pilots and the guidance detailed in the Request for Applications (RFA).
According to the Q&A, only state agencies that administer SNAP are eligible to apply for the pilots; however, they may partner with other local entities and clearly describe their respective roles in the application. Partners must also submit a letter of commitment with the application. The opportunity for partnerships between state agencies and local partners is a key feature, fostering collaboration among stakeholders that advances their shared goal: helping SNAP participants enter the workforce or secure better-paying jobs.
While the pilots provide an opportunity to test innovative strategies, state agencies must still adhere to federal rules, including statutory definitions of eligible activities. For example, Able Bodied Adults without Dependents (ABAWD) who are not working or participating in a qualifying activity are still subject to the three-month time limit on SNAP receipt (unless the pilot is operating in an area that is covered by a waiver of this time limit). Additionally, pilots may not compel individuals to participate if they are already exempt from SNAP work requirements under federal law. States do have discretion to select participants from the population of work registrants or to serve other SNAP recipients on a voluntary basis. However, no more than 15 percent of participants can be non-work-registrants.
Pilot states are also able to access the 50-percent reimbursement funds available for the SNAP E&T program. In addition to providing pilot grant funds, FNS will continue to reimburse agencies for allowable expenditures that comply with current law and regulations. FNS will offer technical assistance to grantees throughout the process for 50-percent reimbursements. Applicants must indicate the reimbursement amounts anticipated in each year of their pilot project.
The pilots and SNAP E&T 50-percent reimbursement funds are critical resources that allow states to test and highlight strategies that will help SNAP participants enter the workforce or obtain better employment. Interested state SNAP agencies and their partners have until November 24, 2014 to submit their applications. Pilot awardees are anticipated to be announced in February 2015.
For more information about the SNAP E&T pilots, see:

House Holds Hearing on SNAP E&T Pilots
By Helly Lee
Today, the House Committee on Agriculture hosted a hearing on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Employment and Training (E&T) pilots created by the 2014 Farm Bill. United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Secretary Vilsack was called to testify before the Committee on the implementation of the pilots.
As we mentioned in a recent blog post, USDA released their Request for Applications (RFA) for the pilots on August 25th. While the implementation of the pilot program is still in its early stages, it was clear at today's hearing that Congress will be looking at the pilots for innovative and successful strategies that will inform future policy making. In his testimony and in his answers to the members' questions, Secretary Vilsack reiterated a few key points:
- The purpose of the pilots is to better understand the barriers that SNAP participants face and help get more people into work and prepare them for better jobs. The majority of SNAP participants who can work already do, but do not make enough to lift them out of poverty.
- The guidelines put forth in the RFA cast a wide net for innovative ideas and proposals from states and are designed to allow states and local partners the room to propose creative strategies to help reduce the number of people who need SNAP.
- There is great emphasis on collaboration. The RFA requires a commitment from applicants to collaborate with State workforce and job training programs. USDA encourages proposals which include strategies that engage workforce, SNAP and other partners.
Secretary Vilsack also mentioned the work that he has already done to engage the Department of Labor and his efforts to directly connect with Governors across the country to inform them of this pilot opportunity. He observed that many Governors told him that they had not been aware of the pilots. This highlights the need for state advocates to also engage high level policymakers to ensure they are aware of the pilots and the opportunity to develop innovative strategies that support SNAP participants.
The deadline for applications is November 24. Applicants may submit questions regarding the RFA to USDA by this Friday, September 19th. USDA asks states intending to apply to submit a letter of intent by following Friday, September 26th.

Economy Slowly Recovers but Millions Still Hungry
By Helly Lee
Yesterday, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) released its Household Food Security in the United States in 2013 report, which revealed that more than 49.1 million people (or 14.3 percent of households), including 15.8 million children, struggled with food insecurity in 2013. Those with food insecurity had difficulty at some time during the year in providing enough food for all their household members due to a lack of resources. These numbers are a slight change (but not statistically significant) from the 14.5 percent of households that were food insecure in 2012. In 2013, 6.8 million households (5.6 percent) faced very low food security, meaning that one or more household members experienced reduced food intake and disrupted eating patterns at times during the year.
While the food insecurity rates were largely unchanged from the previous year, the report shows that there's still much to be done to alleviate hunger across the country. Food insecurity remains significantly higher than the 11.1 percent rate in 2007 before the recession.
The rates and severity of food insecurity also vary by location. For example, states like Arkansas (21.2 percent), Mississippi (21.1 percent) and Texas (18 percent) ranked highest among food-insecure households, well above the national rate.
There are also large disparities in the rates of food insecurity across racial and ethnic categories. While 10.6 percent of White, non-Hispanic households experienced food insecurity in 2013 (below the national rate of 14.3 percent), Black (26.1 percent) and Hispanic (23.7 percent) households experienced significantly higher food insecurity than the national rate and more than double that of White households.
Households with children also experienced food insecurity at a much higher rate (19.5 percent). This is concerning because scientific evidence shows that children need to have adequate nutrition to excel in school and grow. Recent research by Children's HealthWatch reveals that, when compared to children under the age of four who were food secure, young children at risk of food insecurity were 56 percent more likely to be in fair or poor health, and 60 percent were more likely to be at risk for developmental delays.
The release of USDA's report is a reminder that while the economy is slowly recovering, millions still struggle to make ends meet and put food on the table. Federal nutrition programs such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), the National School Lunch Program and the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program remain critical supports for families and children who do not have access to adequate nutrition. However, even as the needs remain, continued threats can weaken the reach of these vital programs. In November 2013, nearly every SNAP household endured a cut when Congress failed to enact legislation to extend the 2009 Recovery Act's boost (a maximum monthly benefit increase by 13.6 percent) to the benefits, further compromising the food security of households already struggling economically.
Congress has the opportunity to strengthen vital federal child nutrition programs in the upcoming year through the Child Nutrition Reauthorization Act and through steadfast protection of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in future policymaking.

You need to know what love is first.
Love is a concept. concepts dont have an age.

Well, seeing that love is a form of an emotion, I don't believe that emotions are able to be categorized according to age.

Cheers,

Yes, Love is 28.
