It seems like it was just yesterday that I became a mom for the first time. However, almost 18 years have passed since that has happened. It still seems so unreal that my baby is almost grown.
Meet Robert–17 years old
Robert is on the verge of turning 18 in just a few months. It is still so surreal in the fact that I have a grown man for a son. It scares me, but I know we have done all that we can as parents to raise a Godly child.
Yes– he is a lover of video games, Sonic the Hedgehog, and all things Superhero! He has a heart of gold and loves to serve God in any capacity he can. He has always been one of those teens that tries hard, and loves to help people out whenever he can. He is currently trying to decide what he wants to do when he graduates school. He has one year to make up his mind. Hopefully whatever he chooses will be the work that God wants him to do.
Meet Kayla-age 14
Kayla is pretty much my sidekick! She cooks with me, shops with me, walks with me, encourages me to keep on track with my weight loss — even when I want to give up!
She has her momma's temper, loves animals with a passion, and is definitely got an eye for photography! She is a superhero freak who loves Spiderman and Batman the most She adores God more than life and does her absolute best when it comes to school.
The older they get, the more I learn that they are not growing up to leave the nest, but the new era of being friends with my children will begin. It's a scary thought, but one that I know God will use to draw us closer.

Last week as I was rolling along mile after relentlessly bucolic mile en route from Burlington, Vermont to Palmerton, Pennsylvania, I was awestruck by the beauty around me. Every day brought a visual assault of brilliant green pastures, fields rife with scarlet and violet wildflowers, rippling lakes, frothy streams, waterfalls and horses galloping in the morning mist. Coming home, back to the grind, I fell into a little funk, sad the journey was done and that it was again time to mow the lawn and shop for groceries and fold the laundry and all the other everyday tasks that can feel wearisome.
So this morning I woke up early, cooked up a couple sunny-side eggs and an English muffin, tossed back an espresso and got on my bike. I didn't really have a destination in mind. I just felt the need to spin out some miles alone, explore, maybe get a little lost and let my mind wander. The sun was still hovering low in the sky, creating glistening sunbeams through the morning fog. I rolled past cornfields and up into the hills outside of the valley I call home. I started searching for a climb I'd done a few years back on our Saturday morning shop ride. It's a long, windy, steep climb that you think should be over at every turn, but it just keeps going on and up. The last time I'd done it my friend Keith was hung over and after cresting the final kicker, collapsed in a heap in the front lawn of the house at the top. The owner stopped mowing his lawn, sauntered over and examined the carnage. "Some climb, huh?" he said to the group of us gathering around. "You're not just gonna leave that there are you?" he joked, pointing at Keith. We laughed and Keith rallied. It was just a great morning. I thought of Keith and that ride as I eventually found the base of the climb and started my way up. Today Keith and a few of my friends headed down to Delaware for a day of mountain biking on some smoother trails than the rock-strewn ribbons we have here. I felt a pang of sadness to be missing the adventure, but also happy to have a full day ahead of me with no travel involved. I climbed on, finally standing on my pedals and kicking it over the top. I looked at the well-manicured lawn to my right and smiled.
Cruising along the ridge, I passed Flint Hill Farm, a gorgeous piece of pasture where my daughter goes to horse camp. The goats were loping about, munching on the high grass by the fence's edge. I glanced right to take in leafy rolling hills as far as the eye could see. Then I dove back into the trees for the descent. Tucking into my drops, I carved through the columns of light cutting through the canopy overhead before bursting into the sun-filled fields below where the dairy cows were making their way to the stream for a morning drink. I pulled back with fresh eyes and drank in the landscape. These roads I've traveled for more than a dozen years were as pretty as any I've marveled at in other places. I had just been down them so many times, I'd stopped seeing them. I also realized there were still many I'd yet to explore. Sometimes, caught up in my wanderlust and my "what's next," I lose sight of the here and now. This morning, I'm happy to have taken some time to appreciate the beauty of my own backyard.

Temperature Tests
With the TES 1326 Infrared Thermometer literally in hand we found ourselves getting real-world temperatures from the products we test at load (3D clock speeds).
There are two places we pull temperature from - the back of the card directly behind the core and if the card is dual slot and has an exhaust point we also pull a temperate from there, as seen in the picture.
It comes as no surprise that the cooler continues to perform well with it being the cooler card out of the pack.
Sound Tests
Pulling out the TES 1350A Sound Level Meter we find ourselves quickly yelling into the top of it to see how loud we can be.
After five minutes of that we get a bit more serious and place the device two CM away from the fan on the card to find the maximum noise level of the card when idle (2D mode) and in load (3D mode).
Noise levels sit at about the same as the VViKOO which uses an aftermarket Zalman cooler.

The Menendez Brothers
The penalty phase began on March 22, 1996 and was completed in three weeks. The defense called 18 witnesses to testify on behalf of the brothers. The rules of evidence were different in the penalty phase than at the brothers' trial. Since the jurors are being asked to make a life or death decision, the defense was permitted to appeal to the jury's sympathy. The rules allowed the defense to offer evidence of mitigating factors, such as the brothers' ages, whether they were "under the influence of extreme mental or emotional distress," whether the victims "were participants in their own deaths" and any other evidence that diminished the gravity of the crime.
On April 4, during the second week of the penalty phase, an unexpected and stunning thing happened in court. Dr. Vicary, the psychiatrist who had treated Erik since 1990, admitted that he doctored his notes at the direction of Leslie Abramson. Under cross-examination, Vicary admitted that he omitted from his notes entire sections containing incriminating statements by Erik Menendez. This incident had major ramifications for the defense.
On April 5, Abramson invoked her Fifth Amendment privilege not to incriminate herself when she refused to answer two questions about her possible misconduct regarding Vicary's notes.
After hearing arguments outside the presence of the jury, Judge Weissberg rejected defense motions for mistrials for both brothers. The defense had tried to argue that a mistrial should be declared because of Abramson's ineffective assistance of counsel. Weissberg ruled that Lyle could not make that argument because Abramson was not his lawyer. Weissberg also ruled that Barry Levine was perfectly capable of taking over Erik's case, if Abramson decided not to continue to participate in the proceedings.
On April 6, Conn told the court how he learned about the deleted notes. Conn said that in 1993 Abramson had turned over to him the redacted version of Vicary's notes. At some point during the trial, Conn needed to review the notes at the Van Nuys courthouse, but had left his copy in his office in downtown Los Angeles. Conn borrowed a copy of the notes from Dr. Dietz who had received a copy from the defense. Somehow, Dietz had been given a copy of the original notes. Conn said that Abramson turned over the originals by accident and had if it not been for this mistake, no one would have noticed the discrepancy. Vicary had deleted 24 pages of statements Erik had made to him and rewrote 10 pages of notes.
The notes contained incriminating evidence against Erik. One of the sections noted that Erik told Vicary that he thought about what it would be like to live without his parents. In another section, Erik told Vicary that he and Lyle discussed doing something "drastic" but the notes do not specify exactly what is meant by "drastic." In another section, Erik told Vicary that Jose's homosexual lover visited the mansion two days before the murders occurred and told the brothers that their parents were going to kill them. Vicary later admitted that Erik told him that this story was a lie.
On April 9, Judge Weissberg ruled that a conflict did not exist between Leslie Abramson and Erik Menendez that would necessitate her removal from the trial. The ruling followed two days of closed-door hearings during which Gessler and Levine sought to have Abramson removed. It was only after Erik Menendez spoke to Weissberg behind closed doors that Abramson was allowed to stay. Weissberg said that he would instruct the jury not to consider Abramson's alleged actions of misconduct when deciding whether the brothers should be sentenced to death or life in prison. Weissberg also ruled that the prosecution could not ask Vicary about Abramson's order to delete his notes, instead Weissberg directed the prosecutors to impeach Vicary's testimony without making any references to Abramson. Leslie Abramson remained silent throughout the remainder of the trial.
On April 10, Vicary concluded his testimony and the prosecution presented three rebuttal witnesses: Les Zoeller and Kitty's two brothers, Milton and Brian Andersen.
On April 11, David Conn gave his closing argument. Conn argued that the Menendez brothers should be sentenced to death because they chose to kill their parents in a "horrifying and brutal way." Conn ridiculed the defense allegations of psychological abuse, saying that the allegations were "desperate and trivial."
In his closing argument, Barry Levine accused the Los Angeles County district attorney's office of arbitrarily deciding who was eligible for the death penalty. He reminded the jury of the O.J. Simpson case and said, "he's not even eligible for the death penalty." Levine told the jury that the prosecution had not presented evidence of aggravating circumstances other that the crime itself.
On April 12, the jury began to deliberate whether the Menendez brothers should be sentenced to life in prison or death.
On April 17, 1996, after deliberating for three days, the jury decided that life in prison was the appropriate punishment for Lyle and Erik Menendez. The jury later said that the abuse defense was never a factor in their deliberations and that the jury decided to spare the brothers' lives because neither brother had a felony record or a history of violence. Although some jurors said they were sympathetic to the brothers' upbringing and that it may have contributed to the murders being committed, in the end they could not excuse it. Several of the jurors believed some of the evidence of psychological abuse, but questioned whether the sexual abuse occurred.
Unlike the first trial where two separate juries could not agree on whether the brothers committed murder or manslaughter, jurors in the retrial said that there was never any division or dissent and there were no holdouts. None of the jurors believed the defense theory that the brothers killed because they were afraid and the jurors did not believe that the brothers killed solely to get their hands on their parents' money.
On June 1, defense attorneys for the Menendez brothers filed a motion in Judge Weissberg's court seeking a new trial for the brothers. The motion argued that Judge Weissberg erred when he refused to allow the jury to consider manslaughter verdicts. The motion also claimed that Judge Weissberg erred when he allowed jurors to hear the December 11, 1989 tape of the brothers confessing to Dr. Oziel. The motion also claimed that Weissberg erred when he limited the number of defense witnesses who testified about the Menendezes' family life.
Prior to being formally sentenced on July 2, 1996, Lyle and Erik gave an interview to Barbara Walters for the television program 20/20. The purpose of the interview was to gain public support for the brothers' bid to be imprisoned together. A committee of California state correction officials ultimately made the decision of whether to imprison the brothers together. David Conn said that he had no position on whether the brothers were imprisoned together or apart, as long as they did not receive any special treatment.
On July 2, 1996, Judge Weissberg sentenced Lyle and Erik Menendez to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Judge Weissberg sentenced the brothers to consecutive sentences for the murders and the charge of conspiracy to commit murder.
A few weeks after the sentences were announced, Lyle and Erik were taken to the North Kern State Prison at Delano, a Department of Corrections reception center outside of Los Angeles for diagnostic evaluation. A decision whether the brothers were to be imprisoned together was made after the evaluation was completed.

This is the year tuition equity passes. Or so many on the University of Oregon campus hope.
One student, Liz Avalos is especially hopeful after witnessing the overwhelming support for the bill at last Wednesday's legislative hearing in Salem.
"It was just a mix of emotions because I have friends in similar situations," said Avalos, MEChA's internal director.
Avalos and a group of around 20 students from MECha, the Oregon Student Association and Oregon Students of Color Coalition attended the hearing. No one in the group testified, but went to show support and pass out tuition equity-themed valentines to representatives and senators.
If approved, the tuition equity bill will allow undocumented students to pay in-state tuition as opposed to the international rates that are currently applied to them. In order to be eligible, students are required to have studied in the U.S. for at least five years, attended an Oregon high school for a minimum of three years, graduated and be actively working towards citizenship.
"Tuition equity is not a handout. The bill doesn't qualify them for state or federal aid," Avalos said.
Gabriella Morrongiello, an Oregon State University student from California, argued that approving the bill would result in a class-action lawsuit seeking compensation for nonresidents. Morrongiello said that the bill would cause a dramatic increase in the number of people enrolled in Oregon universities and that out-of-state students will be expected to shoulder costs. Those in opposition of the bill complained that they weren't given enough time to speak.
"For her to say it's not fair, she chose to go out of state," said Avalos. "These (undocumented) students are choosing to go to university in their own home state."
For those interested in attending the University of Oregon, this could make a difference of around $19,395 annually based on the estimated amounts of in-state and nonresident/international tuition for the 2012-13 school year that are listed on the financial aid and scholarships website.
"Every year it's been getting closer and closer to being passed. This year it'll be passed in the Senate and House. At least, we hope," Avalos said.
According to The Oregonian, over 300 people attended the hearing, the majority being supporters of the bill. Avalos said that during the hearing, attendees were separated into different rooms so she didn't realize how many people (predominantly students) had shown up until everyone went outside to take a group picture.
"Honestly, it should've been done 10 years ago. It's important because right now we're denying access to students to have a more formal education, and that shouldn't be the case," said ASUO senator Lamar Wise.
Wise, former ASUO president Sam Dotters-Katz and several groups including MEChA authored a tuition equity resolution that University Senate will likely vote on sometime this week. According to Wise, in addition to students, a number of faculty members and President Gottfredson are among tuition equity supporters.
"Many people look at tuition equity as granting a privilege to undocumented students. For me, these folks are our equals, so this is not an issue of granting a privilege, it's about the fact that right now we are withholding a right. This is about equality," said Dotters-Katz.
Other supporters at the hearing also highlighted the economic benefits of the bill. Betsy Earls, vice president and counsel of Associated Oregon Industries said that the bill would allow businesses to hire locals instead of relying on the out-of-state hiring some companies are currently doing.
"I think that the state of Oregon has already invested a lot of time and money into these students and we should continue with our investments so they can go to college, and after college they can continue to contribute to our society and our community, and the state of Oregon," said Wise.
Avalos said that beyond economics, the issue isn't about specific people, but rather a situation they happen to be in. She stressed that many of the students were brought to the U.S. at such a young age that this is the only life and culture they identify with.
"These kids know these country as their own. Just because they don't have a birth certificate doesn't make them different," Avalos said.

I have a daughter she is 16 years old. She is dating this boy that is 18 years old. They are not having sex from what I hear. But I was wondering if they do, will the boy still get introuble if I know about it, and I aprove of it? That is what my daughter is trying to tell me but I dont know if thats true.
NEW: updated - 05/11/08 (See comment section at bottom of page)
The legal age of consent in Illinois is 17. This is a state law.
If I understand the question correctly, you are wondering if by giving parental consent, the 18 year old would be safe from criminal prosecution. No, He will not. A parents consent will not overide state law and make an illegal act, legal. At 18, he is an adult subject to follow the same laws as all other adults citizens in the State of illinois.
(720 ILCS 5/11-6) (from Ch. 38, par. 11-6) Sec. 11-6. Indecent solicitation of a child.
(a) A person of the age of 17 years and upwards commits the offense of indecent solicitation of a child if the person, with the intent that the offense of aggravated criminal sexual assault, criminal sexual assault, predatory criminal sexual assault of a child, or aggravated criminal sexual abuse be committed, knowingly solicits a child or one whom he or she believes to be a child to perform an act of sexual penetration or sexual conduct as defined in Section 12-12 of this Code.
(b) Definitions. As used in this Section:
"Solicit" means to command, authorize, urge, incite, request, or advise another to perform an act by any means including, but not limited to, in person, over the phone, in writing, by computer, or by advertisement of any kind.
"Child" means a person under 17 years of age.
(c) Sentence. Indecent solicitation of a child is:
(2) a Class 2 felony when the act, if done, would be criminal sexual assault;
(3) a Class 3 felony when the act, if done, would be aggravated criminal sexual abuse.
My gf is sixteen and pregnant with my baby, I just turned twenty and I want to know if I can get in trouble for putting my name on the birth certifacate? And this is in the state of Illinois
I'm trying to prove that Parental consent doesnt work for anyone under the age of 16 for anyone above 16-18. In the state of washington is it legal for a 24 yr old guy to be with a 11 yr old girl with the consent of the parents?
The answer to your question is NO! Any 24 year old who has sexual interest in an 11 year old child, is a vile insect that needs to be squashed. What you are describing is a criminal sexual offense in any US State. Any parent proven to condone such a relationship would face child endangerment and neglect charges at a bare minimum. These are the types of cases any DA looks forward to prosecuting to the full extent of the law. Someone has to protect the best interests of the 11 year old, if not the parents, then it will be law enforcement.
I've been talking with this guy for about 9 months now. we both really like each other but he's about to turn 20 next month & I'm turning 17 in 4 months. would it be legal if we dated and kissed/make out? I mean it's not like we're having sex. (btw I live in Ca)
when my son was 19 (but mentally & physically he looked & acted 16 & related well to this age grp) this girl in which he thought was 16 or 17 because he was introduced to her by friends that age & she hung out with & she looked & acted older & they lived in dif towns.My son had never been in serious relationship or had ever had had sex & they hung out for mths & from what i gathered her mom kinda knew but mths later this girl kept pushing him for sex & he told her he didnt feel ready but she said if he really loved her he would,so it happened then she tells him shes 14 & he freaks out & tells me & i tell him has to stop & it did for 2 wks then she started calling nonstop & saying she was gna kill herself & i told her to stop because he would get in trouble not her & she told me they loved each other & they felt age shouldnt matter like when gma married gpa & they were 13 & 22 but not these days,so she started sneaking out to see him but no sex again & he felt if she would kill herself he couldnt live with himself,needless to say he went to jail & her father pushed til he went to prison.Now this girl is seeing a 19yr old & her fathers allowing it & she claims she spends night with him at his apt,so why is my son in prison & his life ruined cause he has to register while this girl still seeing another older guy with her fathers permission?Can i file a suit against this man?i feel these girls need to be held accountable too because they pursue these older guys & the guys go to jail & these girls roam freely to keep doing it and i think parents should be held acountable too since they must not know what their underage girls are doing & think their angels when in fact these girls mature sooner these days & know more about sex then we did as kids and they are pursuers but just because of their age their considered innocent children well not when lying & spending night with older guys our laws are not fair i feel the maturity level & if consensual should be a factor & these girls also know right from wrong by the age of 13.any suggestions?
If some one were to be 14 year old girl and be inpregnated by a 19 year old boy and they are exactly 4 years apart, with parental consent would he go to jail or get into any legal troulbe if they were to put him on their child's birth certificate? Even if he was willing to help the child and the mother with everything. In the state of Arizona
last fall my daughter was 17 and this 24 year old unknowingly to me started a relationship...when aprroached for approval...I emphatically rejected the idea..thought the relationship ended...it has come to my attention my daughter has been secretly seeing this 24year old...was informed by her friends that she had sex with this man when she was 17 but still to this day, now being 18 for 3 months, denies she is even having sex with him now....both her dad and I are still emphatically not giving our approval for the relationship even though she is 18.....Is there any way or anything we can do to press charges against this man?
No there is not. At 17 your daughter could legally consent to having sex with any other willing adult. The fact that you dislike him/ disagree with your daughter's choice is really all in vain. Unless you can prove they had sex before 17, you can't do anything about it because there is no law being broken.
I'm in the state of Utah if a 15 year old girl lives with her 18 year boyfriend under her mothers roosideredf and her mother gives consent is this still considered statutory rape??
What is the Age of Consent for Sex in Utah?
Utah is among the few U.S. states which have set separate ages of consent for men and women. For women, the age of consent in Utah is 16. For men, it is 18. However, for women between the ages of 16 and 18, there are some restrictions. No person under the age of 18, male or female, can legally consent to sex with a person who is more than 10 years older than the minor.
In Utah, a minor aged 14 or 15 can legally consent to have sex with a person who is less than 4 years older.
No person under the age of 14 can legally consent to sex, and having sex with someone aged 14 or younger is a fairly serious crime in Utah.
Utah's age of consent laws only apply to heterosexual conduct. Utah currently has no valid statute which governs the age of consent for homosexual acts, so it is not clear exactly what the age of consent for such conduct is.
Violations of these laws generally carry prison sentences in the 5 year range.
Hello. I am 15. Turning 16 next month. I am in a relationship with a 21 year old. If we had sexual intercourse and I became pregnant, could he get into any trouble? My parents gave consent, as did his. So my parents said " you guys can have sex". I live with my mother and step father. My mom has full custody of me and has had since I was three. My biological father lives in Chicago and I'm not sure if he would be happy with the situation, but he wouldn't take any action against my 21 year old boyfriend. So I guess what I'm asking is.. if I am pregnant by a 21 year old, and both of my legal parents give consent, could anything happen to him? Please help me. I need a legit answer asap. Thank you. (I live in the State of Il)
When I was 15 I signed over guardianship to my little girl under the conditions I would get her back when I was 18 and the father of my child Wouldn't go to jail because he was 18. I agreed to it and we moved and later on in my pregnancy I found out it wasn't til she was 18 and they kicked me out when she was 11 months old because I was talking To her father and they found out. A year and a half ago they came down for a visit for a so called business trip and in that dinner they tolde That they were on their way to Arizona as they speak only taking clothes and leaving all the furniture and everything aside. I want to know What I can do to get her back and if the contract is voided since they moved out without my consent. I am 20 years old now. Also the guardianship papers state that I was 16 when I signed it and I was actually 15 years old and the dates would add up. Is that considered false documentation? Isn't there something about a minor being influenced to make a decision without knowing what they really are doing? I live in IL currently.
my daughter had went with a boy for the last 14 months. they are not together any longer but she is 15 now and he 19. in july 2011 she came to me and said that she had sex with this boy in fear of him leaving her if she didnt. she was 14 and he was 18 at the time. does this consititute grounds for statutory rape even though she consented to it?? if i can press charges how long do i have to do this?
Can a person under the age of conscent get in trouble , if they are kissing/makingout with a person over the age of conscent?
I'm 17 right now and I'm dating a girl who is 15. In February she turns 16 and in March I turn 18. We don't do anything, just date. Could I still get in trouble
I'm 17 and my now fiancee and I have a 2mo old son. We are currently living with my parents but want to move out on our own. Legally can we do that?
What if a adult is going out with an underage teen but the mother knows and she's okay with it...and the guys are not having sex ?? And if its more of a friendship?
I am 22 and In love with a 16 yr old girl. We live in Illinois and the age of consent is 17. We have been in love for years but have never done anything about it. She is afraid that even tho we are going to wait till marriage to have sex that I can be sent to jail. Her parents both consent to us having a relationship but her step father is afraid I can also be sent to jail. If there is no sexual acts taking place is there any legal grounds for an arrest and possibly jail time
The state plays a very serious game concerning jurisdiction (power to judge), especially when dealing with state constructed statutes. The state uses the fictional term "person" when constructing criminal statutes. This is because the state is an artificial person with no actual authority over natural human beings (Church of Scientology v. U.S. Dept. of Justice, 612 F.2d. 417) God created "man" and he is sovereign over states (Chisholm v. Georgia, 2 U.S. 417, 455-465)and their statutes (Wison v. Omaha Indian Tribe, 442 U.S. 653) Black's Law Dictionary, 4th Ed. pg. 1300 states that Natural (biological) people are not 'persons' in most statutes. It is extremely important to understand that neither the Federal Constitution nor Illinois Constitution expressly provides for any statutory jurisdicton. You have to be tricked into it. (U.S. v. Minker, 350 U.S. 179 at 187.)Read all the state constructed criminal statutes and you will find the subtle practice of using 'person' as oppose to "man" "woman" "natural person" "human being" "boy" or "girl." This is done on purpose. They speak of everyone knowing the law; however, they repeatedly use the fictional term "legal" which is distinct from "law." (Black's Law Dictionary, 4th Ed.)Basically, states have no statutory jurisdiction over natural, flesh and blood human beings because it did not create humans. As long as you do not infringe on the natural rights of others you cannot be lawfully charged with offenses alleged against natural people by the state. (Hale v. Henkle, 201 U.S. 43 at 47.)You are required to keep the law not to be legal. In essence, you are required by God to love your neighbor as yourself (Lev. 19:18)The current practice of the legal system has resulted in numerous wrongful convictions nationwide. However, as we are all sovereigns over the state we are not sovereign over each other. Therefore, only a human can file a complaint against another human. This is not termed "crime" but a "tort." If your girlfriend or her parents ever decide to hold you accountable for what they perceive as offenses against the rights of your girlfriend (life, liberty, property (including body & name)or to pursue happiness) then they may file suit against you in a court of common law. (General Jurisdiction) It is important to note that all parties to litigation have a right to an Art. III Sec. 2 court (Commodity Futures Trading Commission v. Schor, 478 U.S. 833) under the Federal Constitution applicable to the states (Art. I Sec. 9 under the Illinois Constitution)via the 14th Amendment. Having stated the actual law applicable to criminal cases, which affects the liberty rights of people and not persons, your dilema is one of moral law. Continue to refrain from pre-marital sex. This is pleasing to God, and taught under the commmon law, which is the supreme law of the land (United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649). Evidence of the sovereignty of God-made humans (man) is that their rights and privleges are not owed to any constitution or legislative act (Hodges v. U.S., 203 U.S. 1.)Remember also, that marriage is not in the letter of the law (statutes)but in your heart. For therein is true committment. Resist the devil and he will flee.(James 4:7) God bless you always.
My 20 year old son has been dating a girl five years younger than him for over a year. Her parents not only condone the relationship but encourage it. They are pushing her to live with him when he gets out of military training in Missouri. I feel that marriage would be a better choice so he will not get in trouble for statutory rape. They plan to transport her to Missouri for the purpose of wedding him in July. Will this marriage be recognized as legal in our home state of Tennessee? The age of marriage with parental consent is 16 in Tn and 15 in Missouri.
so if the boy is 18 and the girl is 17, which is the age of consent in Illinois, she can LEGALLY have sex with this 18 year old since she has reached the age of consent? or is it still illegal because she is still under 18 ? basically, does the age of consent only apply to people under age 17? or does it become an exception to having sex with the 18 year old ?
is it legal for an eighteen year old to date a sixteen year old with parents permission if they are not having sex?
Under Illiois law, I would not bet on it.
I have a daughter who was 17 when ge got pregnant and 18 when she had my grandbaby, the daddy was 23 at the time. Now we have a son who is 19 and his girlfriend is pregnant. My question is can he be charged with anything since her dad may push the issue but she told him she would move out if he does. If she lives with me can that get anyone in trouble since my son does not live with me? What kind of advice can ayone give me i am in the dark here and it was so easy to deal with before with my daughter. HELP
My now 17 year old stepdaughter conceived and delivered a baby at the age of 16 by her 21 year old boyfriend. Her mom has let them (step-daughter, boyfriend and baby) move in with her and now her mom is threating to have him arrested for statutory rape if they try to move out and take the baby with them back down to Shelbville to love with his mom. Can her mom do this???
I am 18 and my girlfriend is 15 her parents gave us the ok to date. I was 17 at the time of consent and i turned 18 on june 12 of 2009 me and her had sex and she consent to it can i go 2 jail if her parents want to press charges against me?
yes you can go to jail also some states do have no statue of limatation they could arrest you any time in your life
If she is under 18,yes you can go to jail, but look at the state laws, some states say it's ok to have sex at 16 as long as the other party is no more then 4-5 years older, or above 18
also htere parents can be charged as well for fasilitating the relationship if you were to ever get charged they will be facing the same charges so if u get charged with a class c felony they also can be charged with a class c felony in most states
My son is 16 and girlfriend 15. Mother allows him to sleep at her house. They have had sex, probably at the house. Is mother violating any laws and can she be held accountable if girl gets pregnant?

Kamran Akmal

India v Pakistan at Bangalore
Pakistan tour of India
India quick Ishant Sharma and Pakistan keeper Kamran Akmal have been fined for their altercation in the closing overs of the Pakistan innings in Bangalore on Tuesday. The players had been involved in a heated argument in the 18th over of the chase, which Pakistan eventually completed successfully to win the first Twenty20 by five wickets.
Both players were reported to the match referee, Roshan Mahanama, by the umpires - S Ravi, C Shamsuddin, TV umpire VA Kulkarni and fourth umpire K Srinath - and charged with 'conduct contrary to the spirit to the game'. They both pleaded guilty, and Kamran was fined 5% of his match fee. Ishant, though, appealed against the penalty levied; after reviewing video footage and reiterating his view that Ishant had initiated the incident, Mahanama fined Ishant 15% of his fee.
Mahanama said with this series being so high profile, it became all the more important for the players to set the right example: "This is clearly a high profile and high-intensity series, and the players on both sides have been reminded of their responsibility. Both players recognised their duty to set the right type of example through their on-field behaviour and they have accepted that they fell short of the level of conduct required.
"The game was played in the true spirit till this incident was initiated by Ishant, who is an experienced cricketer."
The incident occurred soon after Ishant had the well-set Shoaib Malik caught of a ball that was deemed too high to be legal. Earlier the same over, Ishant had claimed Pakistan's other set batsman, Mohammad Hafeez. With the pressure building and a tight finish in view, Ishant beat Kamran and, after exchanging words in his follow-through, the two ended up standing inches apart from each other, yelling. Suresh Raina - followed by his India team-mates - came between the two, as did the umpires, but the talk continued for a while. When Ishant caught Kamran off Ashok Dinda in the next over, he was quite vocal in his celebration.
This series is a marquee one, as it revives bilateral ties between the neighbours. The previous one-on-one series between the teams was five years earlier, in late 2007, with bilateral ties hitting a roadblock following the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks.

About the Parent Program
Program Mission and Vision
The University of Minnesota Parent Program fosters relationships between the University and parents of our students in order to support student success, generate lifelong affinity for the University, and promote an appropriate role for parents within the campus community. Through research, discovery, and collaboration, the Parent Program works with parents and higher education professionals to understand how family diversity impacts the student experience and to help families support their students' learning and development.
Parent Communications
The Parent Program provides several communication methods:
University Parent Newsletter
University Parent is mailed in August, December, and March to the parents of full-time undergraduates. The newsletter is mailed to the "home address" that students list on their University registration information. If you move, or if your student changes his or her home address to a campus or apartment address, the newsletter may not reach you. You may contact us and ask to be put on the newsletter mailing list. In addition, we only have one home address listed for each student; parents with a different address from the primary contact also should contact us in order to receive the newsletter. Send your address to email@example.com; phone 612-626-9291; or mail your address to Parent Program Office, University of Minnesota, 109 Appleby Hall, 128 Pleasant Street S.E., Minneapolis, MN 55455.
University Parent website
The University Parent website provides updated information online. Our News and Events section changes frequently with links to news stories and websites of particular interest to parents. Timely Issues offers seasonal tips related to the time of year. Each month features a new Question of the Month so that you can give us feedback on a topic related to the University, your student, or you, and we regularly search the University of Minnesota websites for links that will help you understand the University and support your student through his or her academic career.
Parent email updates
The Parent email update list delivers the most current information to you on a regular basis. We send an email message about every two weeks with information about pending deadlines, campus news, and special notices. Sign up by sending your email address to email@example.com.

History of the Parent Program
In 1993, then-vice president for the Office for Student Affairs, Marvalene Hughes, wanted to improve communications between the University of Minnesota and parents of undergraduates. She asked Student Affairs communications staff to develop a parent newsletter, to be mailed quarterly.
Parents responded favorably to the newsletter, but in focus groups and on newsletter surveys, they requested more—they wanted parent events and a contact person on campus. Student Affairs and University Relations, in response to parent requests, committed additional time and resources to the program. Today the University Parent Program is staffed by Marjorie Savage, Parent Program director and Chelsea Petree, Parent Program assistant director. Additionally, two undergraduate interns and a team of undergraduate volunteers assist staff each year with Parents Weekend, and the Parent Program relies on continuing technical support from University Relations staff.
Marjorie Savage is Parent Program director and works in the Office for Student Affairs. She has a bachelor's degree in sociology from the University of Michigan and a master's degree in business communication from the University of St. Thomas.
Chelsea Petree is the Parent Program assistant director. She has a bachelor's degree in family studies from St. Olaf College, and a master's degree and Ph.D. in family social science from the University of Minnesota.

That's the photo I've been waiting for. You look like a natural!
How to Look Like a Wine Drinker
Where I'm from in the south, there's not a whole lot that goes into drinking. All you really need to know is your answer to the question "bottle or draft"? However, after living in California for a year and spending the last month exploring Northern California wine country, I've come to find that there's a lot more that goes into drinking wine than drinking beer. If I walk into a tasting room and tell 'em I want a glass of whatever they have on tap, then I'm going to get some bizarre looks. But while I'm learning something new every day about what could be considered the "art" of drinking wine, at least I'm starting to get the look down. I might not always know what I'm talking about when it comes to wine, but I'm at least going to look like I know what I'm doing. So today, with the help of Mark Vogler from Out in the Vineyard, and Grady Beard from Mercury Wines, I show you how to drink wine.
While you might not know what exactly you're talking about when it comes to wine, you'll at least now look like you know what you're doing. However, don't necessarily go doing all five of these things every single time you're served a glass of wine or take a drink. I can't be held responsible for any looks you get if you see, swirl, sniff, sip, and savor every time you pick up your glass. But maybe give it a swirl and a little sniff as you bring it up to your mouth for a sip. But whatever you do, hold back the urge to go bottoms up. Stay classy.
What's your favorite part of a visit to wine country?
11 Comments on "How to Look Like a Wine Drinker"
I was looking forward to hiking and drinking with Mark!
I love wine and food pairings, there`s something magical when food is created to pair with wine.
Aaaah! A wine tour around California's sounds divine! I'd add a bike ride through the vineyards to top it off! How to look good riding & drinking, that's what I need to learn how to do well!
Spencer – you're a natural on camera! I love it. As a bottoms up type of gal, these are definitely some great pointers!
The food and wine is my favorite part of visiting wine country. I also enjoy kayaking down the Russian River.

Restaurant Revisited: Valley Inn
by Maria Russo in Shows, October 10th, 2012
Valley Inn restaurant in Palos Hills, Ill., is a 40-year-old eatery with a history of success. Recently, however, the restaurant had fallen on hard times, and owner Dennis Ristucci needed Robert Irvine's help to restore Valley Inn to its former glory. In only two days, Robert and his Restaurant: Impossible team tackled a dark, dirty dining space and low-quality food before reopening to a line of hungry customers. We checked in with Dennis to see how his business is doing a few months after its renovation.
Since Robert left, sales at Valley Inn have increased nearly 85 percent. Dennis tells us that the revised menu and updated decor "have drawn new interest from the neighborhood." Among his favorite aspects of the remodel are the more inviting entry space and improved flooring.
Today, Valley Inn's menu is a mix of the restaurant's original dishes and those that Robert created, and Dennis says that "customers like the combination." Additionally, he notes that the restaurant is no longer using any frozen food. Dennis tells us his staff are "more attentive to customers" and welcome diners "with big smiles and stories about the show." He adds that "everyone has been doing their part and cleaning, too."
In a change less obvious to diners but no less significant, Faye, Dennis' mother, is no longer telling him how to run his business. "My wife and I are making all of the decisions," he says. Once again passionate about Valley Inn, Dennis believes that his dad "would be extremely proud" of the restaurant's renovation.

Shrimp can only be cooked for about a minute. If the shrimp are tough, then they're pre-cooking, or boiling too long, or both. Never, ever pre-cook shrimp, then cook again in garlic. Overcooking shrimp gives it the consistency of Styrofoam.

Roof covering structure which contains of footings as well as an external watertight skin, as discovered on many national building. Such roofs might take a variety of different shapes as well as be created of and roofed with an irregularity of substances.
An easy ribbed roof includes of damaged rafters that hinge on vertical wall-plates atop each wall surface. The top ends of the light beams satisfy at the degree ridge plate or ridge beam of light. Flat purlins are dealt with to the rafters to provision the roof cover. Larger under purlin are utilized to provision longer rafter periods. Connection light beams or ceiling joists are connected in between the lesser ends of contrasting rafters to avoid them from dispersal and also compelling the wall surfaces apart. Collar light beams or neckline associations might be dealt with greater up among differing rafters for additional property.
The rafters link sunbeams as well as joists offer to connect the weight of the roof to the wall surfaces of the building. There are a quantity of physical devices working to enable this, counting the use of wall-plates evaluated the top of the wall, hammer-beams, which spread out the weight down the wall surface and create balance in between external and upward drive, master blog posts which transmission the weight of the roofing ridge, and also various kinds of trusses.
In cyclone and tornado susceptible areas the main manufacturing deliberation is to hold the roof down during extreme storms. Every constituent of the roof (since training course the remainder of the framework) needs to hold up against the uplift forces of high wind rates. This is not normally an issue in areas not got rid of to to high wind.
Modern roof know-hows, seeming in the supplementary photo of a house below construction in an area of Northern Australia, consist of the purpose-made steel hook support which is secured to the bind with M16 bolt. The bracket is fastened to an M16 bolt cast sitting, installed 300 mm into the armor-plated real block wall. If you have a leak and you live in Albuquerque NM, then I have the best roofing company, they are the top Albuquerque roofers
On the planet of engineering as well as gainful buildings, an amazing roofing system is a roof that can provide high solar reflectance (the capacity to reflect the noticeable, infrared and also ultraviolet wavelengths of the sun, lowering warmth transfer to the structure) and high thermal emittance (the ability to radiate absorbed, or non-reflected solar energy). Many cool down roof coverings are white or other light colors.
In tropical Australia, zinc-galvanized (silvery) sheeting (usually corrugated) do not reproduce warmth and also the really "amazing" color of white, particularly as metal surfaces fail to produce ultraviolet back to the sky. European style fads are now using darker-colored aluminum roof covering, to follow customer styles. All about roofers
Additionally known as albedo, solar reflectance is spoken either as a number fraction or a fraction. A value of 0 designates that the surface soaks up all solar radiation, and a value of 1 represents total reflectivity. Thermal emittance is also articulated either as a number fraction amongst 0 and 1, or a percent. An additional way of evaluating coolness is the solar reflectance index (SRI), which incorporates both solar reflectance and emittance in a single value. SRI mentions just how warm a surface area would acquire relative to basic black as well as typical white outsides.
Golf can be a very fickle sport. One minute on the course you are loving life and then the next minute you hate the world. It is amazing how your emotions can change just by where a golf ball ends up, but as I can tell you personally it will and does.
The pro's keep these emotions in check better than amateurs and that is why they are making a fortune. They are spending hundreds of thousand of dollars a year on mental couches that help them control their emotions. There is no problem when things are going good, but when they go bad that is when it is really important.
So playing golf in such a way that you hit more good shots than bad shots can really help. That is where a great swing trainer can come into play. I have found and tried this new product that I am about to tell you about. This is one of the best golf swing trainers on the market today. You are provided with immediate feedback which you can then use to start to fix your swing.
There are a lot of training aids on the market, most are not very good, but this one the Bungeeclub can make a difference in your game like no other. This training device needs to become a part of your golf bag. You use it when you are practicing and also when you get to the course to play, like when warming up on the range.
You will not regret this. Right now if you hurry, you can have a chance to get a Bungeeclub for free. You will have to visit the site, http://www.bungeeclub.com to learn more about this. They are starting a new course on how to practice correctly which most people don't do correctly and that is why they never seem to improve. You can also get some golf instruction with the Bungeeclub, just click the link.
Sometimes the same dentist isn't ideal for all family members. You might have to make a different choice in a dentist, when it concerns your whole family, rather that just for you.
Not everybody has the same likes and dislikes, and that even goes for dentists, so it is okay for one spouse to go to one dentist and the other spouse to a different one. Things are sometimes tougher when you have children, but it can happen where the same dentist works for the whole family. If your children have any serious dental issues, you might want to find a pediatric dentist for them. A good general dentist can do regular checkups and cleanings for everyone in the family without any problems.
Some of the things you need to know about the dentists you are looking at are their reputations, locations, years of experience and how expensive they are. It helps to find someone who will give you a comfortable feeling while you are experiencing the pain they are giving you. Finding a new dentist in Rio Rancho doesn't have to be a difficult thing, as long as you keep certain guidelines in mind because your dental health is important.
Has it been a while since you shopped for a new appliance? If so, you will be amazed at the smaller models available today. These are very useful for anyone living in small quarters, but they can actually help you conserve space no matter how big your house might be. Keep in mind, though, that smaller doesn't mean less efficiency or less power. The following are some ideas on how you can effectively use small size appliances to free up space in your home. If you visit Albuquerque appliance repair from Mr. Eds Appliance, you can find a variety of appliances that you might be interested in. They are all pre owned by completely rebuilt and in full working condition.
Instead of a large vacuum cleaner, if you have limited space, always go for the smaller one. Your rooms are probably going to be small, and therefore only require a compact vacuum cleaner instead. A great choice for this is the Eureka Hand-Held Vacuum. The unit only weighs five pounds, making it very easy to move around. It is very easy to clean your sofas and carpets with this handheld vacuum. It is lightweight and versatile to use everyday.
Being so portable, you can also take it out to your car and clean your car seats. The 20-foot long cord gives you plenty of reach. You can get into the crevices in tight spaces with this vacuum using the crevice tool. Trash compactors are great because you can save space and take the trash out fewer times. You will surely not have any trouble finding a convenient spot in your kitchen or utility room. You generally understand how these things work, so you can do more, with less. There are also recycling compactors that crush your metal and plastic objects down to a more manageable size. Compactors are useful appliances for anyone, regardless of how much space you have. Take a look on the web for the dimensions, and you will see they come in different capacities.
Many people have small kitchens, which can be quite an ordeal every single day. If you don't have a lot of space in your kitchen, you won't have room for appliances or even dishes. While small size appliances are one way to save space, you also have to pay attention to the way you arrange your items. You can free up a lot of space if you have a pot rack. So if you have limited cabinet space, if you put your pots and pans in there, you won't have much space left at all. You certainly won't have a space issues if your pots and pans are above your head. It's also very convenient to simply reach for the pot that you need rather than having to search for it.
If your living space is quite small, you can use small size appliances to improve the amount of space in your residence. You need to seriously look at your appliances when you are looking to conserve space. You may not even use some of them.
Others might be replaceable, either with smaller units or multi function alternatives.

NBA Power Rankings Vol. 2: Miami Jumps San Antonio For Top Spot
The NBA regular season, at least for the teams that hold visions of championships, is just an 82-session practice for the playoffs. So rather than worry about who is the unofficial "best" or "worst" team in the League right now, let's look at which team is most equipped for the truly important games. Read More »

God's Presence in the Unfamiliar
Recently, I was thinking back on my very first day of school. I can remember how excited I was as I ate my oatmeal that morning, the anticipation of a new adventure mixed with fear of the unknown. I walked into school holding my mother's hand and in the other hand clutching my new satchel. It was fire engine red with shiny silver buckles, and the word "Annie" emblazoned on it in black and white over a picture of the title character from my favorite movie. Soon, it was time to let go of my mother, but I held on to my "Annie" satchel as I met my teacher, Mrs. Brown, and the other kindergarteners. When I finally had to put it down in the back of the room with everyone else's satchels and backpacks, I looked back frequently to reassure myself it was still there. It was the one thing in the room that was familiar, a comforting piece of home and reminder of those who loved me there.
Different objects have served that same function at various points in my life, at a place of new beginnings where I needed something familiar to hold. Eventually, though, I came to see that all of these things were not really necessary. It was not what I carried in my hands that made a new situation less scary, but remembering that God was carrying me and that wherever I went, I was not alone. The Spirit of God goes ahead of us and accompanies us into each new adventure. We may not be able to turn around and catch a reassuring glimpse of God like I could with my satchel, but we can rest assured of God's presence within us. Whatever we may be walking into today, we do not go in alone.
God, thank you for being our companion. How amazing it is that you have put your Spirit within us for always. Help us to remember that whenever we are feeling alone or unloved or need the comforts of home. We trust you to carry us through. Amen.
-- Chaplain Stacy N. Sergent

...or you can always put your laminates on the rail(s). I always liked the way those 80s board had lettering on both rails.
The only problem with that is you can only print out so much big lettering on an ink jet printer (might take 2 or more laminates per rail). The other thing is some glassers are retarded from the fumes, so you have to tell them personally how you want the laminates placed...or they will f*ck it up.

The Global Intelligence Files
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.

determination by the Garcia admin to see this nat gas export plan through.
The govt does not seem to be bending to opposition demands that there
won't be enough nat gas to supply the domestic market. They have the
contract stipulations and scientific studies to make that case. On the
price issue, however, members within the ruling party are also saying the
price has been set too low .Garcia himself indicated recently he would
renegotiate the pricing in the export contracts, and that remains a
possibility. There is still debate over the issue and protests are likely
to continue, but the govt is unlikely to relent on the export plan. Hunt
should be prepared for the possibility that pricing agreements may change.
Araceli, can you pls look up any updates first thing tomorrow to add to
this? Thanks much

Venezuelaa**s National Assembly approved the nationalization of 11
foreign oilrigs June 29. The rigs are owned by US oil services company
Helmerich & Payne, which idled the rigs in 2009 due to significant
outstanding debts from Venezuelan state oil firm Pdvsa. H&P said
earlier in June that the debts currently total $43 million; Pdvsa has
made no move to pay the outstanding balance. Venezuela says it was
forced to nationalize the rigs in the name of a**public utilitya** and
claims that H&P refuses to discuss service contracts with Pdvsa.
Mexican state oil firm Pemex said June 30 that it is on a state of
alert due to the impending arrival of Tropical Storm Alex. Pemex
offshore facilities in the Gulf of Mexico continue their operations,
but have historically been strongly impacted by storms in the area.
The impact is particularly troubling for Mexico as it struggles with
diminished output.
Perua**s Energy and Mining Ministry clarified June 29 that the price
charged for exported natural gas exceeds the domestic costs for the
commodity. Peru recently began exporting natural gas a** a move
strongly criticized in the country, as opponents worry the government
will fail to prioritize domestic demand. Peru aims to become a top
regional natural gas producer and will move ahead with export plans
despite the controversy.

Updated: March 7, 2013 6:44AM
As the headlines shift to a recovery in the housing market, with an increase in national home values and sales, it's easy to forget that many of our friends and neighbors are still struggling through the bad economy. Last year, more than 28,000 Illinois families lost their homes, and the foreclosure rate here remains high.
Determining what options are available can be a daunting task. And when time is wasted, the amount required for a homeowner to bring his or her loan current can escalate quickly.
Gov. Pat Quinn launched the Illinois Foreclosure Prevention Network (IFPN) last year to ensure that homeowners can efficiently and easily access all the resources they need in one place, free of charge from a reliable source. IFPN coordinates the efforts of various state agencies and non-profit organizations, providing a single point of entry for those seeking help.
The network simplifies access to counseling, legal advice and even provides financial assistance to qualifying homeowners. Since its launch a year ago, the network has connected more than 350,000 Illinois families to information and support; nearly 36,000 have been connected to counselors statewide and more than 6,000 have received critical financial assistance through the state's Hardest Hit Program, helping to bring their mortgage current and keep it that way.
These services are vital to homeowners in need and are easily accessed through the IFPN website — www.keepyourhomeillinois.org — and toll-free helpline, 1-855-KEEP-411.
Let's make 2013 a year of real recovery — not just for some but for all Illinois families. Access the resources that are available, and do it now. Preventing foreclosures is a critical step to keep our communities strong, our families healthy and the economic recovery moving forward.
Mary R. Kenney

Scouts should remove ban on gays
I am writing in response to the recent announcement by the Boy Scouts of America that it may lift its ban against homosexual youth membership. It's long overdue.
I am a member of a proud Scouting family — my grandfather, father and brother all are Eagle Scouts — and I cannot stress how important it is to allow homosexual boys into this organization. Scouts are the leaders of our communities, and to bar motivated and capable young men from membership because of something as trivial as their sexual preference is detrimental — not only to Scouting but also to our country.
In this time of uncertainty, Scouting more than ever needs to reach out to improve the lives of boys and their families, to teach them honor and dignity and compassion for others. Homosexuality is now a regular part of our modern lives, whether one likes it or not. To deny its existence or validity is to undermine the true meaning of Scouting.
While I thank the Boy Scouts of America for considering lifting this ban, I urge them to follow through and remove it. For this great organization to grow and thrive, this must happen.

Science, Technology and Innovation
Technology - seeds, breeds, fertility inputs, disease control measures, water management - is clearly key to getting agriculture moving. But the impacts of extensive investment in technology development and transfer in Africa and in some parts of Asia have been patchy. With new technology options coming on-stream (e.g. biotechnologies or various sorts) and important new players in the private sector in particular, there are new challenges for the governance of technology in the agriculture sector. The old research and development extension arrangements of 20-30 years ago are not appropriate, but what is? We want to ask a number of questions:
- How can agricultural technology be made to work for the poor? What are the implications for technology choice and priority setting mechanisms?
- How are technology trajectories linked to processes of agrarian/livelihood change in different settings?
- What should be the roles of public and private sectors (both international and national) in technology development?
- How is access to technology options constrained? What alternatives exist?
- How should national/regional innovation systems look to deliver inputs for small farmers?
Productivity assessments are let down by poor methods
- Details
- Category: Science, Technology and Innovation
Flawed methods are used to assess the productivity of new technology for farmers, resulting in unreliable evidence, according to a new briefing by Future Agricultures member Michael Loevinsohn.
New technology that enables sustainable and profitable production of food is critical for both food and nutrition security and economic development. Yet, as this Institute of Development Studies (IDS) policy briefing explains, recent research suggests assessments of the productivity gains farmers realise from new technology are routinely flawed methodologically and hence unreliable as a basis for decision making.
Rethinking farm systems
- Details
- Category: Science, Technology and Innovation
How do we understand farming systems? The terms that researchers use affect how we see farming and agriculture in relation to the wider world.
In a new blog post, Jim Sumberg, Stephen Whitfield and Ken Giller suggest a new way of thinking about how farms connect to each other and to the non-rural economy.
Strengthening African seed systems
- Details
- Category: Science, Technology and Innovation
A regional dialogue on "Strengthening African Seed Systems: Technical, Economic and Policy Challenges" took place in Nairobi on 14-15 July, hosted by Future Agricultures and the Tegemeo Institute of Agricultural Policy and Development.
Video and presentations from the event are now available to view on this page.
The workshop aimed to examine the institutional, social and political dimensions of getting seed technologies into use and to highlight the challenges of increasing access to improved seeds for poor farmers through both formal and informal channels.
Technology: more than mobiles
- Details
- Category: Science, Technology and Innovation
Electronic devices allow farmers in Africa to access and share information as never before. But the role of 'technology' in agriculture is about more than just sharing practices through mobile phones. Institutions, social change and politics play a part. In a new blog post, Jim Sumberg calls for a renewed recognition of these wider factors in debates about technology and technical change.
'African Farmer' online game launched
- Details
- Category: Science, Technology and Innovation
African Farmer, a free, open source online game, has been launched by the Future Agricultures Consortium and the University of Sussex.
The game simulates the complex decisions and uncertainties faced by small-scale farmers living in Sub-Saharan Africa. It aims to challenge and engage students, development practitioners, and anyone interested in the challenges faced by farmers in poor countries.
Arguing about agronomy
- Details
- Category: Science, Technology and Innovation
A new article in Outlook on Agriculture looks at how agronomy has been affected by social change since the 1970s. The science of agronomy informs crucial decisions on development. It is often seen as a practical, problem-solving field, but like other areas of study is affected by politics and power. The authors call for more attention to the contestations around new agronomic knowledge and technology.

Reuters: Foxs News Reporter Questioned on Source for Story About James Holmes notebook
Submitted by vinceableworld on Sat, 01/19/2013 - 05:57The judge ordered Winter to testify about a story published online under her byline days after a court-imposed gag order went into effect, with details on the contents of a notebook Holmes sent to University of Colorado psychiatrist Lynne Fenton.
Citing two unnamed law enforcement sources, the article said the notebook contained details of plans to commit mass murder, along with illustrations of the envisioned attack.
Fenton testified at a separate hearing that she met with Holmes at least once when he was a graduate student at the university.
