Many of today's teenagers feel like they're just treading water, struggling to find meaning in the frantic pace of their daily activities. The pressure to keep up with peers can be overwhelming, and many students may begin to wonder whether the stress is worthwhile.
In his book, The Path To Purpose, Stanford professor William Damon argues that the root cause of our children's growing anxiety is an endless series of short-term goals. They are expected to perform well on a nonstop string of exams and deadlines that seem to have no relationship with the real world. But we can fix that, Damon argues, by helping our students find a larger sense of purpose, a way to make sense of their lives.
One way to do this is to help children develop a sense of their futures. Parents cannot choose their children's paths, but adults can offer them insight into careers that align with their interests and abilities.
Parents do this instinctively when children are younger: if Emily loves to put band-aids on her dolls, her mother might suggest that she could become a doctor. But as students get older, they need these suggestions more than ever.
The workplace has become more specialized since parents choose a career, and it's hard for parents to keep track of new career paths. To help, we interviewed several experts to create a list of up-and-coming careers for students who are interested in math and science.
For students who like Environmental Science: Sustainability Coordinator
Saving the environment through energy conservation is an idea that appeals to everyone. Suzanne Emerson is the proprietor of Emerson Environmental, a company that promotes sustainability by assisting homeowners in choosing and implementing energy efficiency and water conservation maintenance and upgrades. Emerson became interested in green concepts when she was a Girl Scout, and went on to become an environmental lawyer before starting her own company. "Many people are interested in home energy efficiency, in reducing their carbon footprint, and in saving on their utility bills," said Emerson. "But it is not easy for a homeowner to figure out what the most cost-effective repairs and upgrades are for their home." Emerson enjoys helping people learn about how their home works, and how they can make it work better while helping to reduce strain on the environment. She sees a strong future for Municipal Sustainability Coordinators, people who help local governments develop and implement greenhouse gas reduction and other sustainability programs.
For students who like Computer Science: Software Engineer
With more and more of our lives revolving around our computers, the demand for software engineers is skyrocketing. Developing the products that drive the Internet can be a fast-paced, exciting career. "I've worked enthusiastically as software engineer at Facebook for over two years and have had some of the coolest experiences of my life here," says Tom Whitnah. He has had the opportunity to work on many interesting projects, like the Live Feed product used with CNN for President Obama's inauguration. When I asked Whitnah if he thought that his job would ever be outsourced to China or India, he had a definite opinion: "In a fast-paced company that makes and implements decisions quickly, it's been paramount to have all engineers in the same office. It seems very hard to imagine compartmentalizing the engineering work done here enough to move it offshore. I think the skills learned and applied in engineering will continue to be very applicable in many fields and industries, even if the tech landscape changes significantly."
For students who like Statistics and using numbers to analyze trends: Clinical Data Manager
Biotechnology companies are inventing medicines for illnesses that used to be impossible to treat. And while there's always a need for the cutting-edge Geneticists who develop the drugs, most people don't know about the scientists who collect and analyze the patient data. Clinical Data Managers help evaluate the trials that that proves a drug's efficacy to the FDA. Carol Garvey, a Director of Clinical Data Management at Genentech, enjoys the dynamic environment of her workplace: "It's always interesting to learn how a drug under study works or does not work based on the clinical data that comes in. I also like that I am able to work with many great minds across many disciplines, such as doctors, statisticians, programmers, project managers, and epidemiologists." Garvey says that there are many different kinds of college degrees in her department, but that one talent is key to success: "Soft skills, I mean collaboration, learning to work across diverse groups with diverse knowledge." She thinks that students should always be open to any and all job possibilities, since they can lead to new careers that we've never even dreamed about. And no matter what the future holds, she advises: "You can and should have fun at work. I have shared many laughs with my colleagues, from all levels."
For students who like Algebra and number manipulation: Certified Public Accountant
Thanks to legislature like the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the recent turmoil in our financial markets, companies are in growing need of talented accountants. "Getting a CPA puts students in line for many career paths in the Accounting/Finance area—tax, financial reporting, audit, management," says Corporate Controller Christine Steele. She feels that public accounting experience is not only the best learning opportunity for someone interested in finance, but also a crucial resume item that demonstrates experience and knowledge. "Accounting is not just addition and subtraction, and demands a good understanding of business as well as accounting regulation, but it is a challenging and demanding career." Additionally, accounting offers good job security: "All companies need an accounting department, so jobs are available in a wide range of industries and locations."
For students who like Geometry and spatial concepts: Industrial Architect
Architecture can be a rewarding career for creative students with strong visualization skills. "I enjoy the challenge of looking at a design problem a client has and knowing that in the end, I will come up with a solution. I never know what that solution might be, but in the end, I am pleasantly surprised," says architect Robert Medan. Natural architects are people who "enjoy visualizing how things are built. This interest and curiosity should extend to everything in our physical surroundings." Medan sees funding diminishing for private sector work, but openings in Institutional work such as schools, hospitals, and community centers. His advice for potential architecture students: "Keep yourself focused on the goal of becoming an architect. It is a long, arduous process that requires many years of dedicated study and work. Take that Calculus class, take Physics, lots of history and try to enjoy learning. It is all worth it in the end."

IMO, if we are talking fully sugared, I'd say no, not healthy or good at all on a daily/regular basis. Empty junk calories that just pile the weight on. <:=\ Rot one's teeth, could lead to diabetes issues. Why are KIDS becoming diabetic? Drinking umpteen sodas a day, sugared fruit juices, etc. <:O
If diet, o.k. But again not nutritious. But neither is coffee or tea, for that matter. ;) And you never know about the artificial sweeteners being healthy long term. Who knows if there won't be health warnings, cancer warnings, in a decade or more, like has happened in the past? Consuming chemicals regularly is not a good idea, IMO. And some diet sodas have sodiium, which should be a concern for people with high blood pressure, etc., that should be on low sodium diets.

(WXIA) -- The Georgia Department of Natural Resources has brought back its Give Wildlife a Chance Poster Contest for 2014.
This year's theme is Plug into Nature, emphasizing the importance of experiencing wildlife and plants firsthand.
All Georgia students in grades kindergarten through 5 are invited to enter the contest. The top 12 winners' posters will be displayed on the DNR's Flickr site and at the Go Fish Education Center in Perry during the first two weeks in May.
Contest entries are due Apr. 16. Three winners will be picked in four categories (kindergarten, grades 1-2, grades 3-4, grade 5).

Students in grades K-12 can enter the competition by drawing the Google logo with the theme, "If I could invent one thing to make the world a better place ..."
"So many of the world's greatest inventions started out as simple doodles -- just think of Leonardo da Vinci's drawings of flying machines long before airplanes were made. We hope students will think big and surprise us with their creative ideas, just like they've done in years past!" Google said in a release.
Google will choose one finalist from each state. Last year's Georgia winner was Christine Jeong, a 5th grader at Wilson Creek Elementary School in Johns Creek. Meet Christine and see her winning doodle.
ATLANTA -- Calling all artists: the AJC Peachtree Road Race T-shirt design contest is now accepting entries.

No one will see the winning design until race day, when it will adorn tens of thousands of finishers' T-shirts.
"The AJC Peachtree Road Race T-shirt design contest is a great way to showcase the work of our local artists, and we are always impressed with the entries we receive," Atlanta Track Club interim executive director Sue Payne said in a statement.
Whoever wins the contest receives $1,000, while each of the four finalists gets $100.

ATLANTA -- Twenty-three years ago, this month, Atlanta was the focus of the Academy Awards when "Driving Miss Daisy" won "Best Picture.
The film was written by Pulitzer prize winning Atlanta playwright Alfred Uhry who grew up in the Druid Hills area.
The story deals with the relationship between an elderly Jewish woman and her African-American chauffeur after World War II.
And as of today, the home from the movie, which forever linked Atlanta to Hollywood is, now, up for sale and it's going to the highest bidder.
To some, the home is as defining as Jessica Tandy & Morgan Freeman and as unforgettable as Alfred Uhry's words.
It's located at 922 Lullwater Road in the Druid Hills neighborhood.
Jeff Hullinger asked, the listing agent for Coldwell Banker Doris Robinson, "How did this home get selected for the movie?"

I'm not exactly admitting defeat on the whole crib-to-bed transition thing. It really is for my child's safety. Ok, and maybe a little for my sleep and my morning work outs.
Buddha started off so well, but once he figured out he could actually get out of his bed (only 4 days later) I couldn't get him to stay in.

Kevin's Pizza, Calzone & Stromboli Recipes
Chicken Crusted Pizza
Last year I saw a post on one of the LC forums for a chicken crusted pizza and was so impressed with the general recipe that copied it down. I wish I knew who to give the credit to for this idea but I have been unable to find the original post again. I have since added my own twist to the original and now use the following when making a pizza with a chicken crust.
4 cooked chicken breasts (cut up for easier processing) aprox 1 3/4 lb
3 eggs
1/2 cup asigo cheese
2 teaspoons of Good Seasons italian dressing mix
2 1/2 cups mozzarella/asigo blend cheese
3 bouillon cubes
3 tablespoons of wheat protein isolate 8000
I cook the chicken in semi boiling water with 3 bouillon cubes for 20 to 25 minutes.
When cooled, I put in a food processor and grind to very fine and put to a large mixing bowl.
I then finely grated 1/2 cup of asigo cheese.
And then add it and the dry Good Seasons italian dressing to the chicken.
Then I take 3 tablespoons of wheat protein isolate 8000(unflavored whey or soy any LC flour would work but I like WPI the best) and added it to bowl along with the eggs and mixed it till sticky.
I then spread to the pan and bake in a 350 oven till firm and golden.
Top with pizza sauce(I have found several brands mostly local that are quite LC) then cheese and lastly pepperoni and whatever other topping you plan to use.
Then place back in oven till hot and bubbly.
Its not pizza dough but this is a great pizza! Yum.
With the sauce I use it works out to about 3 carbs per lagre slice.
Here is a couple I have made:
Pepperoni and turkey hotdog
Bacon and turkey pepperoni
Kevin's Pizza, Calzone & Stromboli Recipes
Once again ask and you shall receive.
I made 1/2 of the cheese cracker recipe and omitted the butter.
Kevin's Thin And Crispy Cheese Cracker Pizza
8 servings ..2 carbs per serving
1/4 cup almond flour
1/4 cup wheat protein isolate 5000
1 eggs
1/8 t. salt
1/2 cup chedder cheese
1/2 cup asigo cheese
1/2 cup fontina cheese
Mix all ingredients till well incorporated.
Turn out the dough onto a parchment lined cookie sheet.
Roll out between two sheets of parchment to approx. 12" Round 1/8" thick.
Remove top parchment and bake in a 375 oven for 20 minutes.
At this point crust will be nice and firm.
I garnished it with
6 T. pizza sauce
1 thin slices beef hotdog
12 slices of turkey pepperoni
1 cup of 6 Cheese Italian Blend
Bake in a 375 oven for an additional 12 minutes until cheese and sauce are bubbly.
I have 2 comments.
I would pay money for this pizza and my wife said to me "you could get paid for making that pizza.....excellent hun!".
Simple White Pizza
This morning when I was deciding what to make for lunch......it hit me like a ton of bricks.:doh:
So I made a batch of this dough to the point of the directions above and split the dough in half wraped part and refridgerated it.
The other half I stretched out onto a 12 pizza pan, topped with sauce, pepperoni, and cheese.
Then in a preheated 425 oven I baked it for 15 to 20 min.....closer to 15.
Low and behold....LQQK what I found.........
Can you spell Pepperoni Pizza for 2.5 carbs per slice.
A quick follow-up. I took the other half of the dough from the fridge and let it rise for 45 min and then made a second pie from it. All the football fans agree that although both made excellent pizzas.......#2 was the hands down winner for both taste and texture.
Ok, I made the carbalose #4 above and let it rise covered in the fridge for 8 hours.
I then removed the dough and divided it in half and rolled each half out to a 10 x 14 rectangle.
I then layered each with capicola, baked ham, hard salami, provolone, mozzarella, parmesan, grilled pepper, spinach, ricotta, and olives.
Taking the long edge I rolled each into a log pinching and sealing the seam and ends.
I then cut diagonal slits on top to vent and let rise for 1 hour.
NOTE: it rose but only about 1/4.
I brushed the top of each with a egg wash and sprinkled with parmesan, then baked both in a preheated 425 oven for 20 minutes until golden.
In a Word!!
I am in Heaven!! I kid you not. Super crust and light dough and absolutly no bad taste.
3 Attachment(s)
For dinner tonight I made a batch of this dough and did a 2 hour cold rise. I mixed the following filling.
6 oz bag fresh baby spinach sautéd
3 small green onions(sliced thin) sautéd
2 cloves garlic diced sautéd
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 1/2 cup four blend italian cheeses
2 T. grated parmesan cheese
6 slices hard salami(chopped)
3 slices ham(chopped)
1 small can of sliced black olives
Rolled out the dough, spread on filling and rolled into a calzone.
Baked 15 to 20 minutes in a preheated 450 degree oven until golden brown and bubbly.
Yummo!! Spinach Ricotta Calzone

Ron Kind
Ron Kind Caught in a Whopper
For about ten years now I have been watching with interest the career politician Ron Kind. I am constantly amazed at his ability to parse words and obfuscate in order to deceive voters into electing him every election cycle. He talks like a common sense, Western Wisconsin citizen when he is here at home but performs political 180's and votes against the interests of our district when he returns to Washington.
Response to Letter Writer Vickie Burke
Democrat Party Chair Vickie Burke recently wrote an opinion letter to the La Crosse Tribune defending Ron Kind against other letter writers who have been revealing Ron's actual legislative record. I simply could not stand by while she distorts the truth so I have also provided my responses to several of the points she makes in her letter.
Who's being kind to Kind?
Whom does Ron Kind really represent? If Individual Contributions of $200 or more – as reported by the Federal Election Commission – are any indicator, there's a 75% chance that Ron Kind does not truly represent the people of Wisconsin's 3rd Congressional District.
Donors from within close proximity to the Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Indianapolis, Madison, Milwaukee, New York City, and St. Louis areas combined account for roughly 20% of Individual Contributions to Ron Kind this election cycle.
The D.C. Beltway, though, has been particularly kind with their contributions to the WI-3 incumbent. Beltway donors have the distinction of contributing the second highest amount in Total Individual Contributions, the highest amount for Individual Contributions coming from outside the 3rd District.
Why is Ron Kind afraid to let the public know where he stands on issues?
I was digging through my political archives and I discovered this gem from the 2004 race between Congressman Ron Kind and State Senator Dale Schultz. During a PUBLIC forum at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, Ron Kind refused to debate as long as a PRIVATE citizen was in the audience video taping the event. Why is Ron Kind afraid of the public knowing where he stands on the issues? Could it be that he doesn't want to be held accountable for what he says? Afterall, he is well known for telling us one thing when he is back home and then voting in a completely different way once he returns to Washington. Watch and enjoy!
Well it's about stinkin' time!
I saw this press release this morning and almost fell out of my chair:
U.S. Rep. Kind: To hold listening sessions across western Wisconsin next week
Contact: Leah Hunter
Phone: 202-225-5506
WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Rep. Ron Kind (D-WI) will hold listening sessions across western Wisconsin during the Memorial Day work period to meet with western Wisconsin families and hear their feedback. The listening sessions are open to the public and are intended to give the people of western Wisconsin an opportunity to meet directly with Rep. Kind to discuss concerns or questions they have with the federal government.
There are several reasons why this is exciting news:

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
BOSNIA/-B-H: SDP's Lagumdzija To Make New Government Formation Offer to HDZ's Covic
Released on 2012-10-17 17:00 GMT
|2011-08-09 12:55:09
Report by I. Maric: "Covic Lobbying With Dodik -- Kristo State Prime
Minister, Lagumdzija Foreign Minister" - Dnevni List
Monday August 8, 2011 14:28:40 GMT
Everything is expected to develop spontaneously, and the government
formation is left at the mercy and will of the key players in this deep
political crisis. Most of them are now enjoying their oases of peace or
the world's exotic resorts. Bozo Ljubic, leader of the HDZ 1990 (Croat
Democratic Union 1990), ironically announced that a new round of talks of
the key political figures would take place in the second half of August.
People in the state institutions building are saying with irony that even
the IMF representatives drop by only briefly and run out when they see
nothing is happening. Still, there are those who are working, and who are
so infected with and dependent on politics that they simply must "act,"
even by mobile phone. 'Formula' for Government
After many barren assurances, and almost one whole year lost, after
blackmail and hard words, it is almost impossible to take seriously any
combination or formula for the formation of the Council of Ministers.
Several months ago, Dnevni list said that the former B-H Federation
president, Borjana Kristo, because of her close relations and good
intra-party cooperation with Dragan Covic, leader of the HDZ B-H (Croat
Democratic Union B-H), could turn out to be the winning combination and
the biggest argument for the "Platform people" and Zlatko Lagumdzija,
leader of the SDP B-H (Social Democratic Party B-H), and his unconcealed
political aspirations. The forecast of our sources close to the "Platform"
circles that Covic would give in because of his wish to install Kristo
into Spi ric's chair, which is why he previously introduced her in
Ljubljana, Belgrade, and to many foreign diplomats, did not come true, but
nor was it proven to be completely wrong.
The HDZ B-H leader is still relentlessly defending his firm position that
his party is entitled to the position of prime minister-designate and that
the two HDZs are entitled to two ministries in the Council of Ministers.
Fresh information leaking from the SDP's establishment in Alipasina Street
imply that even in these humid summer days Zlatko Lagumdzija and Dragan
Covic are flirting and drinking coffee far from the eyes of the public,
and presenting one another with various formulae for the formation of the
Council of Ministers, aiming to satisfy the aspirations of the two
opposing sides. In these discreet talks, Lagumdzija is more dynamic,
trying to present himself as a politician who is always making proposals,
who wants to save the situation, and put himself forward as a promoter of
agree ment and compromise, but also as the head of B-H diplomacy. He has
not at all given up on his original plan, even from the start of the first
informal post-election talks. Winning Dodik's Support
A source close to Lagumdzija says that the SDP leader is prepared to
secure for Covic the election of Borjana Kristo as the chairwoman of the
Council of Ministers, or rather "soften" Sulejman Tihic, leader of the SDA
(Party of Democratic Action), who exclaimed after the failed attempt with
Slavo Kukic, that the SDA, in return, would never let the former
Federation president take over the state government. Lagumdzija allegedly
does not want to stop here. On the contrary, he is offering the remaining
two ministries in the Council of Ministers to Covic. Surely, this is not a
generous gift from the SDP chief, but an offer that Covic would really
have to work for.
In order to get what he and Bozo Ljubic want, the HDZ B-H leader would
allegedly have to ask and win the support of his political friend, Milorad
Dodik, leader of the SNSD (Alliance of Independent Social Democrats), and
make him give up his entrenched position and the ultimatum of taking over
the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which Covic and Dodik would then give to
Lagumdzija as a sign of gratitude. This seems like a dream come true --
Borjana Kristo, as the chairwoman of the Council of Ministers, with two
more "HDZ people" in the government, Lagumdzija, the head of diplomacy ...
But what would Dodik and Bosic get then? Unfortunately, despite the
enormous desire and optimism regarding the second half of August and the
new round of talks, it seems more likely that Lagumdzija is offering Covic
"a cuckoo's egg" and wants to get him into a clash with his political
partner from Banja Luka. It is not impossible that this is in fact the
priority of the SDP leader, and that this is even more important than the
position of the foreign minister. In case b oth options work out, even
better. It is easy to bill for this, but the innkeeper Milorad Dodik could
easily fly into a rage.

The emergence of value-based payment methodologies and the increased emphasis on transparency will have profound implications for academic medical centers (AMCs), according to the latest research report from HFMA's Value Project. AMCs have unique attributes that represent both opportunities to be leveraged in the emerging payment environment and challenges to be overcome as they move toward value-based business models.
One key challenge that emerged was the need for AMCs to develop a centralized governance structure. AMCs often have different boards, leadership structures, and mission statements governing each of their teaching, research, and care delivery functions. These distinct governance structures make it challenging for AMCs to make decisions nimbly and strategically. Furthermore, many AMCs report the absence of dialogue among academic departments, specialists, the hospital, and other potential elements of a coordinated, detailed approach to care management.
The CFO of one academic center noted, "We are using the possibility of a bundled payment project not because we think it will be a big winner for our system, but just to get an early dialogue going between the key elements of our system."
The goal should be a centralized leadership structure that can make critical decisions on behalf of the AMC.
UAB Hospital, part of UAB Health System in Birmingham, Ala., is taking a step in this direction: A centralized structure exists, but leaders need greater authority to make decisions on behalf of the system. In addition, UAB's system leaders require more agile decision-making capabilities. Like other academic medical centers, UAB is instituting a funds-flow model that combines all revenue from clinical practice and hospitals into one operation. Key benefits of this approach include the following:
Partners HealthCare in Boston operates within an active state governmental and legal environment and illustrates the following examples of how AMCs may need to change over time to form a more highly integrated organization.
The Partners strategy also envisions:
Additional mechanisms to bolster centralized leadership are to develop a common strategic plan and to determine management-level goals and incentives that help align the care delivery, research, and academic functions of the AMC.

strange fit
By NANCY
from BURLINGTON
While I like the fabric and colour, the fit of this is unfortunate. The arm holes seem to come out at the front rather than the sides, and it tapers too much around the bottom area. With a few changes to the shape/fit, this top would have been much better.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

The CAFA Year in Review: A Look Back at the Class Action Fairness Act in the Circuit Courts of Appeals in 2011
January 6, 2012 8:31 AM |
Posted by
Kathryn Christian
Eight circuit courts of appeals rendered 19 notable decisions addressing various issues under the Class Action Fairness Act (CAFA) in 2011, with the Seventh Circuit leading the way with five such decisions. Some show that forum shopping for class actions is alive and well. Others favor CAFA removal unless the plaintiff can show that it is "impossible" for the claim to exceed the jurisdictional amount-in-controversy threshold, while still others favored remands because removal statutes should be "strictly construed." One decision relies upon Mark Twain for a grammar principle. There is only one dissenting opinion, but it is a very good one, citing the oft-used "duck test."

Worked at a Pop-up store, was told we would get 60p above minimum wage during interview, then we were texted later that it was in fact minimum wage.
Thought working in HMV would be dynamic and interesting, but turned out to be a soulless profit making exercise. Maybe I've been watching the movie 'Empire Records' too much.
Took the fun out of customer service and retail by treating customers like gods.
Some of the tasks we were told to were a bit silly.
(1) Stand at the entrance and hand out offer leaflets, of which customers would pick up then discard in various places around the store, e.g inside DVD cases.
(2) Walk around the store in a clockwise fashion and approaching customers and asking if they need any help, while your colleague would do the same, so you would end up annoying customers twice. Also to hand out more leaflets.
(3) The mentioned walk was briefly updated with the most ridiculous thing ever. We had to selotape DVD's together like you would be holding a spread deck of cards, and you would hold this in 1 hand while offering assistance. Bizarre marketing ploy.
We were also told despite being on a 6 week contract, that there would be possibilities for career opportunities at the closest permanent store, but we were told strictly no positions will be available by other management. Very confusing.

The pack contains a new Raid in which you fight Braniac for the final time, a new Duo, a new Alert and much more.
EGM's TAKE: New content releases are an exciting in any MMO, as it offers unexplored territory and brand new experiences. These things are very hard to find in a world you see every day.

Beginner Farmer Training Program Now Accepting Applications
Cockeysville (October 2014) – A unique, year-long training program for beginning farmers is now accepting applications for farmer trainees in the Chesapeake region. The program's goal is to equip the region's brightest new farmers with the knowledge and hands-on experience necessary to start a successful farm.
The average age of farmers in the region is close to 60-years-old, according to the latest USDA census. At the same time, demand for fresh, local produce is also on the rise. A wave of aspiring farmers, young and older, are ready to take up the mantle, but obstacles are many: access to workable, affordable land; finding resources; and connecting with other new farmers, to name a few. Enter the Beginner Farmer Training Program (BFTP), now in its sixth year, which provides a comprehensive, year-long experience designed for new farmers ready to farm.
The BFTP is unique among farmer training programs across the nation in that it allows participants to work part- or full-time at their existing farms or jobs while completing training. Participants are encouraged to transition into farming with a detailed crop and business plan in place.
BFTP pairs trainees with experienced farmers who have already established profitable, sustainable farms in the region. In addition to this hands-on training, BFTP also provides classes, workshops, and field days. Speaking about his experience in the program, graduate Devin Barto said: "I believe that I could assume the responsibilities of a farm following this training experience because of the skills that I gained." Barto now manages a large CSA at Pennypack Farm in Horsham, PA.
BFTP accepts applications from new farmers located throughout the Chesapeake, including MD, DC, VA, WV, DE and PA. To find out more about the program qualifications and to complete an online application, go to: http://www.futureharvestcasa.org/field-school/beginner-farmer-training-program.

Maryland Energy Administration Announces the 2014 Kathleen A.P. Mathias Agriculture Energy Efficiency Grant Program
Annapolis (February 4, 2014) — The Maryland Energy Administration (MEA) announced today that the Kathleen A. P. Mathias Agriculture Energy Efficiency Grant (Mathias Ag) Program is now open for applications. The Mathias Ag Program will provide grants to farms and businesses in the agriculture sector to cover 50% of the cost of energy efficiency upgrades at sites that can achieve at least 20% savings in the building or areas improved. Named after the late Kathy Mathias, one of the Eastern Shore's leading advocates and the wife of Maryland State Senator James N. Mathias, the program is now in its second year.
"Last year's program demonstrated that an investment in Maryland's agriculture sector helps our farms and farm businesses save money and energy," said Abigail Ross Hopper, Director of the Maryland Energy Administration. "This not only helps the State reach its goals of reducing overall energy consumption 15% by 2015, and increasing our renewable energy generation to 20% by 2022, but also helps our agriculture sector stay competitive and innovative."
Through the Mathias Ag Program, MEA will distribute grants ranging from $25,000 to $200,000 to ease the costs of installing eligible energy efficiency technologies. Examples of eligible farms and businesses in the agriculture sector include dairy, orchard, poultry/egg, greenhouse, vegetable, animal, vineyard, grain dryer, processor, sawmill, and aquaculture. The measures must enable a minimum 20% energy savings in the buildings or areas where they are installed. Awards will cover 50% of the project cost after any other incentives have been applied. Applications must be received by March 15, 2014.
"My children, Lauren and Trevor, and I are both humbled and honored that Kathy's life continues to be memorialized through this program," said Maryland State Senator James N. Mathias, Jr. (D - Lower Eastern Shore) and Kathy's husband. "Kathy was fully dedicated to the people and lifestyle of the Eastern Shore and very fond of our rural and farming communities. Even through her most difficult challenges, Kathy continued to renew her boundless energy and positive attitude which exemplifies this program. The MEA has continued to help farmers use best practices to promote energy efficiency while saving money."

Maryland Value Added Producer Matching Grants Now Available From MARBIDCO
Annapolis (January 2014) -- The Maryland Agricultural and Resource-Based Industry Development Corporation (MARBIDCO) is accepting applications for the Maryland Value Added Producer Matching Grants (MVAPMG) program, which can provide an eligible applicant up to 15 percent of the non-federal financial matching requirement of a U.S. Department of Agriculture's Value Added Producer Grant (USDA VAPG.) Together, these grants allow Maryland's independent agricultural producers to engage in value-added activities.
The Maryland Value Added Producer Matching Grant Program (MVAPMG) was established to make grants available to those pursuing support from the U. S. Department of Agriculture Value Added Producer Grants Program (USDA VAPG). MARBIDCO was created with a mission to assist Maryland's farm, forestry, and seafood businesses with achieving profitability and sustainability, promoting rural entrepreneurship, and nurturing emerging food and fiber markets. MARBIDCO will make grants available to eligible applicants to provide up to 15% of the matching funds requirement under the USDA VAPG. These funds will be required to be used for planning or working capital purposes in accordance with USDA regulations. Eligible purposes include determining appropriate marketing techniques and creating business plans or paying operating expenses before a business has sufficient cash flow from operations.
Eligible applicants must be an independent producer, agricultural producer group, farmer or ranch cooperative, or majority-controlled producer-based business venture (all defined terms under federal regulations). In addition, applicants must be making a product that is "value added". A product that is value added has in incremental value realized by the producer as a result of: 1) change in physical state; 2) differentiated production or marketing; 3) product segregation; and 4) economic benefit realized from the production of farm- or ranch-based renewable energy.
Under the USDA VAPG all applications will be screened for eligibility. The federal grant application submission deadline is February 24, 2014. Once the application has been determined to be eligible the application will be competitively rated in a nationwide competition. Projects or ventures must be determined to be economically viable and sustainable. The applications will then be screened for technical feasibility of the value added activity, the overall ability to operate efficiently, improvement to the rural economy, qualifications of personnel performing the proposed task and a demonstrated track record of performing similar activities, and a plan of work that incorporates the appropriate tasks to meet the stated objective. The USDA VAPG applications with the highest ratings will be funded first.
Applicants seeking to receive MARBIDCO matching funds for the USDA VAPG must submit an application to MARBIDCO at least two weeks prior to the federal deadline. The MARBIDCO deadline is 4:00 p.m. on Monday, February 10, 2014. Applications received in the mail with a February 7, 2014 postmark will also be accepted. Applicants must attach a complete copy of their federal application form to MARBIDCO as part of the submission including all required attachments. All MVAPMG applicants meeting the MARBIDCO requirements will receive a commitment letter of matching funds to be included with their federal applications. The MVAPMG commitment amount cannot exceed 15% of the required non-federal match, and it may be for a lesser amount depending on the quantity of MVAPMG applications that are received and the pool of available MARBIDCO funds. MVAPMG monetary awards will only be provided to those applicants that are actually successful in obtaining USDA VAPG awards. NOTE: The maximum cumulative amount of grant funding a single applicant may receive from all MARBIDCO grant incentive programs is $50,000.
Questions about the MVAPMG may also be addressed by contacting 410-267-6807. Click here for information and application.
