CGIAR Research Programs
CRP title | Lead Center | Program description | |
Aquatic Agricultural Systems | WorldFish | More than 700 million people depend on aquatic agricultural systems for their livelihoods, but the difficulties they face mean that a third or more live on less than US $1.25 a day. Living in coastal zones and along river floodplains, these communities are not only poor, they are also vulnerable to multiple drivers of change, notably demographic trends, climate change, sea level rise, and increasingly frequent and severe extreme weather events. | |
Integrated Agricultural Production Systems for the Poor and Vulnerable in Dry Areas | ICARDA | While agricultural research and achievements have helped countries improve the livelihoods of many smallholder farmers in dry areas over the past three decades, much more intense efforts are needed to get useful technologies into the hands of communities on a wider scale. | |
CGIAR Research Program on Integrated Systems for the Humid Tropics | IITA | The CGIAR Research Program on Integrated Systems for the Humid Tropics, referred to as Humidtropics, seeks to transform the lives of rural poor in the humid lowlands, moist savannas, and tropical highlands in tropical Americas, Asia, and Africa. Humidtropics provides a new integrated agricultural systems approach, a single research-for-development plan, and a unique partnerships platform for better impact on poverty and ecosystems integrity. | |
Policies, institutions, and markets to strengthen food security and incomes for the rural poor | IFPRI | The program will establish how to overcome the challenges of high and still raising food prices and policies, institutions, and markets failures, further challenged by climate change and natural resource scarcity. Its goal is to use policies, institutions, and markets most effectively to reduce poverty, improve food security, and grow small producers' incomes. | |
WHEAT- Global Alliance for Improving Food Security and the Livelihoods of the Resource-poor in the Developing World | CIMMYT | Led by the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) and the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA), the CGIAR Research Program on Wheat (WHEAT) builds on the input, strength, and collaboration of public and private sector partners to catalyze and head an emergent, highly-distributed, virtual global wheat innovation network that will improve productivity and food security in wheat-based cropping areas of the developing world. | |
MAIZE - Global Alliance for Improving Food Security and the Livelihoods of the Resource-poor in the Developing World | CIMMYT | MAIZE's goal is to double the productivity of maize-based farming systems, making them more resilient and sustainable and significantly increasing farmers' income and livelihood opportunities, without using more land and as climates change and fertilizer, water, and labor costs rise. | |
GRiSP - A global Rice Science Partnership | IRRI | GRiSP aims at discovering new rice genes and deciphering their functions to break the yield barrier in rice and to breed new generations of "climate-ready" rice with flooding tolerance and other traits essential for adapting production in the face of climate change in order to solve development challenges. | |
Roots, tubers and bananas for Food Security and Income | CIP | The Roots, tubers and bananas research program is devoted to achieving sustainable productivity increases for global food security. Strategies to reduce the risk of food shortages and malnutrition must include increased yields and stronger, more diversified crop systems. It aims to exploit the underutilized potential of root, tuber, and banana crops for improving nutrition and food security, as well as to increase income generation, foster greater gender equity, and improve livelihoods – especially among some of the world's most poor and vulnerable populations. | |
Grain Legumes for Health and Prosperity | ICRISAT | The principal goal of the Grain Legumes CGIAR Research Program is to establish an international alliance capable of executing a global research for development program that produces transformational impacts in the areas of nutrition, health, environment, and income generation for smallholder farmers and their families. Our vision of success is to directly match the increases projected to take place in maize, wheat and rice production by 2020 and systematically increase legume crop productivity potential on route to 2050. By attempting to match the productivity gains projected for cereal... | |
Dryland cereals: Food Security and Growth for the World's Most Vulnerable Poor | ICRISAT | The goal is to achieve farm-level impacts, primarily through higher and more stable dryland crop productivity that will increase incomes and reduce rural poverty, increase food security, improve nutrition, and help reduce adverse environmental impacts (especially in dryland crop/livestock systems). | |
Livestock and Fish | ILRI | This programs goal is to increase productivity of small‐scale livestock and fish systems to increase availability and affordability of meat, milk and fish for poor consumers and to reduce poverty through greater participation by the poor along animal source food value chains.This will be achieved by making a small number of carefully selected animal source food value chains function better. | |
Agriculture for Nutrition and Health | IFPRI | The CGIAR Research Program on Agriculture for Health and Nutrition is a research and development platform that will work to accelerate progress in improving the nutrition and health of poor people by shaping agriculture and food systems affecting those in marginal environments and those experiencing the impacts of agriculture intensification. | |
Water, Land and Ecosystems | IWMI | The overall goal of this CGIAR Research Program is to sustainably improve livelihoods, reduce poverty, redress gender inequities and ensure food security through research-based solutions to water scarcity, land degradation and ecosystems sustainability. | |
Forests and Trees: livelihoods, landscapes and governance | CIFOR | The program aims at enhancing the contribution of forests, agroforestry and trees to production and incomes of forest-dependent communities; conserving biodiversity; enhancing environmental services in multifunctional and dynamic landscapes; reducing emissions of greenhouse gases and augmenting carbon stocks; promoting the positive impacts and reducing the negative impacts of global trade and investment as drivers of landscape change affecting forestlands and local people. | |
Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security | CIAT | This program aims at achieving sustainable food security by contributing to increasing the incomes and well-being of millions of poor people dependent on rural livelihoods, contributing to a reduction in hunger, and contributing to climate change mitigation by enhancing carbon storage and/or reducing greenhouse gas emissions. |

Boys basketball: Lake Central beats Lowell for second time
By John O'Malley Post-Tribune correspondent February 26, 2013 10:54PM
Lake Central's Tyler Wideman (left) and Lowell's Zack VanHook fight for a rebound during the opening round of the West Side boys basketball sectionals held at West Side High School in Gary on Tuesday February 26, 2013. | Charles Mitchell~For Sun-Times Media

Updated: March 28, 2013 6:50AM
GARY -- Since his team hung a 29-point loss on Lowell six weeks ago, there probably wasn't really an awful lot Lake Central coach Dave Milausnic could have said to completely grab his team's attention.
Even though the Red Devils improved dramatically throughout the second half of the season, the Indians still proved to be too much for Lowell to deal with in the first round of the Class 4A Sectional at West Side Tuesday night.
The Indians (14-7) used tough defense to build a comfortable 37-23 lead early in the fourth quarter before settling for a somewhat lackadaisical 54-44 win over the pesky Red Devils (9-12).
"We had a really good stretch (the second half) but we didn't finish the game well the last four or five minutes," said an unhappy Milausnic.
"We got soft. We thought we had the game put away. There might have been some jitters -- we have only three guys back who played last year -- but we have to learn that when we have people down, we have to do a better job stepping on their throats -- and that (starts) with defense."
Junior guard Tye Wilburn scored 12 points and added four assists and four steals to lead LC, which advanced to Friday's first semifinal game against Morton.
Junior forward Tyler Wideman added nine points, had eight rebounds, blocked four shots and had two steals.
Matt Meneghetti finished with nine points, while Robert Ryan added seven -- all from the foul line -- and had a pair of steals.
Cory Dickelman finished with nine rebounds to lead LC on the boards. He also had six points and two steals.
The Indians led 13-8 after one quarter and only 22-18 at halftime, giving the Red Devils the confidence they needed to believe they could pull off an upset win. But Wilburn scored 11 of his 12 points in the second half to help LC build a 14-point cushion in the final period.
The Indians made only 11 of 19 free throws in the fourth quarter and 22 of 37 overall, while shooting just 37.8 percent from the floor overall.
Zach VanHook scored a game-high 17 points and had six rebounds to lead Lowell, which shot 41.7 percent in the second half and 41.9 percent overall.
VanHook, who made only 5 of 17 shots, scored 12 of his 17 points in the second half. Earlier this season, the Red Devis' star scored a season-high 39 against West Side on the same floor.
William Barker, who made three of his four 3-point baskets in the final period, scored 14 points before fouling out late in the game.
Barker's teammate, Spenser Kersey, who also fouled out finished with 11 points.
Lowell managed to cut LC's lead to eight points late in the game, which Milausnic noticed.
"I thought Lowell did a nice job of turning their season around," he said.

CUPE workers reject school board's last offer; strike will begin tomorrowCCRSB News - January 26, 2014 – The Chignecto-Central Regional School Board (CCRSB) has received word that members of CUPE – bus drivers, tradespeople and custodians – have voted to reject the school board's last offer. As a result, CUPE members will begin a strike action tomorrow, Monday, January 27. "I am saddened to say that CUPE has rejected our last offer. That means that 450 of our employees will be on the street tomorrow, instead of in our schools and offices and driving our buses," said Trudy Thompson, CCRSB Board Chair. "Our contingency plan has now been activated." As a result of the impending strike, the following changes are being put in place across the school board:
CUPE's job action coincides with the start of exams for high school students across the board. Exams will go ahead as normal. Any questions about exam schedules may be directed to the respective high school principals. "We asked CUPE, out of respect for our high school students, to hold their strike until the end of exam week. These exam results will have a bearing for many Grade 12 students on post-secondary applications, scholarships and bursaries," said Thompson. "CUPE denied that request." Cleaning services within schools will be restricted to night and weekend work. CCRSB managers and non-union staff will fulfill these duties; this will be reassessed depending on how long the strike lasts. Health and safety for students and staff is a priority as the strike progresses. "We want to come to a fair and reasonable agreement with CUPE," said Thompson, "Still, our students have to be our top priority. We are not in the business of creating "make work" projects. Our focus needs to be on educating the students in our care. Using valuable time and money on "make work" projects would take this school board in the wrong direction for our students and we need to be focused on what's best for them now, and in the long-term." Parents, guardians and students are asked to check the CCRSB website (www.ccrsb.ca, click on the CUPE strike information button), the Board Facebook page (www.facebook.com/ChignectoCRSB) and Twitter feed (@ChignectoCRSB) for the latest information. They may also call our dedicated phone line at the school board office in Truro at 1-844-488-4288 to leave comments and questions. The Chignecto-Central Regional School Board is comprised of 17 board members and 3,000 staff all striving to develop independent, lifelong learners in a student-centered environment, with high expectations for all. CCRSB serves over 20,000 students from Primary to Grade 12, throughout the counties of East Hants, Colchester, Cumberland and Pictou. -30- For more information, contact: Debbie Buott-Matheson, Communications Manager |

About our research
Externally observable components of human actions carry only a tiny fraction of the information that matters. Human observers are vastly more interested in perceiving or inferring the mental states - the beliefs, desires and intentions - that lie behind the observable shell. If a person checks her watch, is she uncertain about the time, late for an appointment, or bored with the conversation? If a person shoots his friend on a hunting trip, did he intend revenge or just mistake his friend for a partridge? The mechanism people use to infer and reason about another person's states of mind is called a 'Theory of Mind' (ToM). One of the most striking discoveries of recent human cognitive neuroscience is that there is a group of brain regions in human cortex that selectively and specifically underlie this mechanism.
Our lab studies these brain regions for Theory of Mind, as a case study in the deeper and broader question: how does the brain - an electrical and biological machine - construct abstract thoughts?
Theory of Mind is an especially exciting case study because:
Our work uses as many methods as we can get our hands on: especially functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in adults and children, but also transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), neuropsychological patient studies, and eye-tracking and behavioural methods with adults and infants. And while we mostly study social cognition, a few projects in the lab focus on other key examples of a neurally-localised uniquely human cognitive capacities: executive function, and language.

Wild Games
Wild games are generally defined as games that feature elements of wildlife in their designs. Wild games are usually set in jungles, forests and other places where animals are found. Wild games are designed and marketed for children,; the use of animal characters and themes is part of the package to make wild games attractive to kids.
A common theme in wild games is to have the players act as defenders of the animal kingdom by warding off human or alien invaders. Wild games usually use flash animations and require Shockwave plug-ins to be installed before you can play them. Wild games generally feature colourful graphics and have simple rules, so they will be easily understood by children.
Types of wild games
As mentioned, wild games are those that use jungle and wildlife themes. These can include card games, puzzle games and tons more. Because many wild games are designed for kids, some websites that host online wild games also include educational games such as animal quizzes. Some may even host word search puzzle games and crossword puzzle games, which require players to answer various questions regarding animals and their habitats.
Wild games as instructional tools
Wild games are often used by teachers and parents to provide kids with a fun alternative to learning about the animal kingdom. A lot of wild games have an educational slant to them, so that kids who play them can learn while having fun. The use of wild games as educational tools is not a recent development, however. Tons of schools and educators all over the world have been using wild games and other types of video games to teach children different subjects such as English, Math and Science.
In countries like Japan and Korea, using wild games to learn about the English language is widely popular. Instead of enrolling in schools and tutorial centers, some foreigners are turning to video games to learn how to speak and write English. Such video games have become so popular that they're even made for different gaming platforms and consoles such as the Nintendo DS, Sony PSP, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii and PS3.
Instructors should note, however, that wild games and other types of video games can only do so much in teaching students about different subjects. It's not recommended for these games to be used as the main instructional tools; they may only serve as complementary teaching tools.

It is with no small amount of ambivalence that I write this, my final TV Today post. I'm not leaving The Stage — heaven forfend — but over the next few days we'll be moving the editorial sections of the site (news, features and blogs/columns) to a new, unified platform that will allow us to run a wider range of exclusive online content. We'll have an expanded range of regular columnists - some names familiar to The Stage, and several new ones.
Part of the restructure means that TV Today as an entity will go. In its place, our experienced broadcast reporter Matt Hemley (who you can also hear every Sunday during Elaine Paige's Radio 2 show) will be writing about TV and radio in his own regular column, while I will be writing about how the arts is changing with the onset of new technologies.
It's been a great six and a half years, and a period full of change. Looking back to our earliest posts, Channel 4 was announcing that it was going to trial live streaming of its channels over the internet; the BBC was gearing up to cast the lead role in a musical for the first time; and shows such as Glee and Accused were but a glint in some commissioner's evil eye. In the intervening years, it's on occasion been weird to write about people or interview them and end up keeping in touch. I've made some great friends within the TV industry and look forward to continuing those well beyond TV Today's lifetime.

Australia's Adam Scott won the 77th Masters last night in a playoff over Argentina's Angel Cabrera. The victory gave Scott his first major championship win, but there was so much more to this win than an ugly green jacket and the right to serve up kangaroo meat at next year's Champion's Dinner. For Scott, this win helps him vanquish not only his own personal major championship demons, but also in the process, helps alleviate the pain felt by the tortured golf fans of his native Australia.
On a gloomy, rainy day on golf's grandest stage, Scott stepped up to his ball in the middle of the 18th fairway at Augusta National, tied with Cabrera. While watching it, I couldn't help but think of Greg Norman, Scott's idol growing up and the poster boy for major championship defeat.

Hi. I'm Roy Berendsohn, Senior Home Editor with Popular Mechanics Magazine and popularmechanics.com. And we're here today to talk about the essential tools that every homeowner needs for home maintenance and repair and to illustrate what you need. I've brought along my toolkit. It weighs about 50 pounds and, scary as that may be, I actually own maybe a 1,000 pounds worth of tools and they're not here but they're back at my shop. So, why don't we get started talking with some of the simpler ones such as pliers and screwdrivers. You know, probably the most basic thing to do is to start with a set of screwdrivers. These look a little bit mangy but they're really pretty nice. They're Jewelers Screwdrivers. They're still in their original packaging. They're small and delicate and keeping them in their packaging helps reduce the wear and tear on them. So you start from the Jewelers Screwdriver and go on up to a multi-bit driver of some kind- A multi-bit screwdriver with a ratcheting mechanism. And from there, we go on to various sizes of pliers for various mechanical and electrical jobs. Here we have a standard electrician's side cutting plier. We have an electrician's multi- tool that cuts wire, crimps connections, strips wire and also cuts electrical screws to length. We have a multi-purpose needle nose plier with a hole in it for stripping 12-gauge wire and we have a tool that no toolbox would be complete without- A pair of Channellock tongue and groove pliers that expand through a variety of sizes. You use these for everything, from breaking off fasteners to gripping pipes and various fittings. So, what you'll notice is that, instead of having one screwdriver, I have clusters of screwdrivers and clusters of pliers. I also have clusters of various kinds of bits and multi-function handles that take bits and blades. For example, here's a tool pouch made my Milwaukee Electric Tool Company and you can see that I've got blades in there for a reciprocating saw. But there's also a handle that will take any one of these saw blades for small jobs and can even fit a hacksaw blade. So, if I'm working in a tight spot and I can't fit- Can't fit a hacksaw, sometimes I can get by with using one of these blades. Obviously, no toolkit would be complete without at least a couple of hammers. And here, I have a very large ball-peen hammer used in metal work and a 16-ounce claw hammer used for light carpentry and demolition. Now again, a toolbox this size will not have room for crowbars and all the various demolition tools that I own but you can go a long way with a ball-peen hammer and a 16-ounce claw hammer. This hammer has a ripping claw on it which is kind of a straight claw which really helps in demolition. So, I get a little bit extra mileage, you might say, out of- Out of those tools. And finally, you always have to have at least a pair of adjustable wrenches. You might ask yourself, why two wrenches? Well, when you're removing a fastener in plumbing, you have to hold usually the front part of the fastener and also back hold the fastener, the other part of the valve let's say with another wrench. So, you turn one wrench against the other. Sometimes, you have to use your tongue and groove pliers to hold on to the pipe while turning a knot off. So, you're always going to need multiples of wrenches. Not shown here is a socket set with, you know, a reasonably extensive range of English and Metric sockets and drives and we've got, you know, a few other sort of unusual things in here that are also very helpful though I would say that, you know, they do tend to be a bit specialized. For example these are drill taps. They both drill and tap a hole and that's a very helpful and speedy thing to have. Well, this is certainly kind of a pro-quality item. I'm Roy Berendsohn with Popular Mechanics Magazine.

The evening in London they all felt the same.
Not been textin' me all week oh girl please explain.
Your findin' it hard getting used to my fame.
Crushin' that miss you.
I've been goin' crazy girl knowin' how he missed ya.
Knowin' how he kissed you.
Oh damn I can't believe you.

Rays | Nick Franklin sent down |
Thu, 31 Jul 2014 14:41:03 -0700
Tampa Bay Rays SS Nick Franklin was optioned to Triple-A Durham Thursday, July 31.
Fantasy Tip: For now, Franklin will provide Tampa with organizational middle infield depth. He should only be owned in dynasty leagues.

Rays | Acquire Drew Smyly and Nick Franklin |
Thu, 31 Jul 2014 13:25:14 -0700
The Tampa Bay Rays acquired SP Drew Smyly and SS Nick Franklin from the Detroit Tigers and Seattle Mariners, respectively, as part of a three-way deal involving SP David Price and OF Austin Jackson.
Fantasy Tip: Smyly remains a low-end starter in mixed league. The Rays' offense lacks the punch of Detroit's, but Tampa Bay has been rolling of late. His value takes a minor hit. Franklin is of interest in deep AL-only formats, if he gets recalled, otherwise he should be considered in keeper/dynasty formats only.

Mariners | Acquire Austin Jackson |
Thu, 31 Jul 2014 13:09:36 -0700
The Seattle Mariners acquired OF Austin Jackson from the Detroit Tigers, as part of a three-way deal involving SP David Price and SP Drew Smyly. The Mariners are sending SS Nick Franklin to the Tampa Bay Rays in the deal.
Fantasy Tip: Jackson's fantasy stock takes a bit of a hit, but he has been scorching hot in July. Hopefully, the relocation won't interfere with his recent surge. Rajai Davis will take over the center field job in Detroit, which increases his fantasy value significantly. The already crowded Mariners outfield adds another body. James Jones' playing time and fantasy value will take the biggest hit.

Athletics | Interested in Nick Franklin |
Mon, 21 Jul 2014 11:13:04 -0700
Seattle Mariners INF Nick Franklin appears to be one of the Oakland Athletics' top targets in the trade market as they look to add a second baseman.

Mariners | Nick Franklin might be open to Tampa deal |
Thu, 17 Jul 2014 20:18:29 -0700
Seattle Mariners SS Nick Franklin is a name which has come up in trade discussions with the Tampa Bay Rays, and he would be a fit in Tampa as he can do some of the same things 2B-OF Ben Zobrist can do. Franklin is also from nearby Orlando, and might not mind a move closer to home.
Fantasy Tip: Franklin appeared in the Triple-A All-Star Game in Durham this week, having a nice season with Tacoma. A move to St. Petersburg would be huge for his fantasy value, as he would find himself in the majors with likely a regular role. It might be a good idea for AL-only fantasy owners to stash him away in case of a deal.

Mets | Continue to look at trades for SS |
Wed, 21 May 2014 10:06:25 -0700
The New York Mets are focused on an in-season trade to acquire a shortstop that the team can control for many seasons, but "there has been nothing lately" between them and the Seattle Mariners, with a focus on SSs Brad Miller or Nick Franklin, according to one source. The Mets are also monitoring Arizona Diamondbacks SS Didi Gregorius. New York, in the meantime, will see if 2B Wilmer Flores can handle the position.

The Superbowl is the most watched television program of the year and the premier showcase for extravagantly expensive marketing, and traditionally one of the better marketing investments available, due not only to the sheer power of one Superbowl ad, but to the ripple effect of attention surrounding the event and its marketing. Online, the effect of advertising during the Superbowl can be measured quite easily… in fact, Superbowl advertiser CareerBuilder experienced a 25% increase in traffic to on the day after 2009 game.
Obviously, there are a host of obstacles for any company wishing to advertise during the Superbowl, the $2.8 million dollar per :30 spot (before production) being one key example. And there are not a lot of barriers to entry when you consider marketing on Facebook. But it's still interesting to compare the two, purely from the perspective of the force each carries in their respective spaces.
The Numbers: Facebook vs The Superbowl
Number of users on Facebook* in the United States: 121 million
Number of US viewers of Superbowl XLIV in the United States: 106.5 million
Facebook Penetration in the United States: 39.75%
Superbowl XLIV Penetration in the United States: 34.75%
Facebook's penetration for individuals who are online in the United States: 53%
Superbowl XLIV's Penetration of TV Households in the United States: 45%
Facebook's Average CPM (cost per 1000 impressions) in United States: $0.20
Superbowl XLIV's CPM (cost per 1000 viewers) in the United States: $28.16
Facebook's 2009 Estimated Revenue: $635 million (source)
Superbowl XLIV's Estimated 2009 Advertising Revenue: $213 million
*All Facebook stats via Facebreakers.com as of 4/28/2010
There is a lot to be learned from those numbers. Facebook and the Superbowl will reach about the same number of Americans this year, but Facebook allows you to get in front of eyeballs at a much more efficient price – it costs about twenty cents to reach 1000 sets of eyeballs on Facebook, while the same impact during the Superbowl costs you nearly $30. And this speaks nothing of targeting… when you pay to put your ad on TV during the Superbowl, you have no choice in who sees it. On facebook, you can narrow your demographics, region and more to be sure that only parties that may be interested in your product see your ads.
In terms of sheer impact, its unlikely any brand will ever see the results on Facebook that they'd see with a Superbowl spot… but if you are looking for an efficient method of marketing with few barriers to entry and a relatively small initial cost, Facebook clearly has the advantage.

Pastor Rick Warren said Thursday that his son, Matthew, purchased an unregistered gun over the Internet. It was that weapon that he used to take his own life last week after years of battling mental illness.
"Someone on the internet sold Matthew an unregistered gun. I pray he seeks God's forgiveness. I forgive him. #MATTHEW 6:15," Warren tweeted Thursday.
The Orange County Sheriff's Department told the Associated Press it is trying to identify the seller, but the gun's serial number was unreadable, making it difficult to trace the firearm.
"We can't tell if it's registered or not because the serial number is scratched off," Jim Amormino, spokesman for the Orange County Sheriff's Department, told the AP. "At one point in time, it may have been [registered], but it's going to be impossible to find out."
California requires background checks on all gun purchases, and it is a federal offense to deface a firearm's serial number.
An autopsy revealed Matthew Warren died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound last Friday. On Saturday, the Warren family sent a message about their son's death to the Saddleback Church community, where Rick Warren has been pastor for over 30 years.
"Our youngest son, Matthew, age 27, and a lifelong member of Saddleback, died today," Rick Warren wrote. "Only those closest knew that he struggled from birth with mental illness, dark holes of depression, and even suicidal thoughts. In spite of America's best doctors, meds, counselors, and prayers for healing, the torture of mental illness never subsided. Today, after a fun evening together with Kay and me, in a momentary wave of despair at his home, he took his life."

Many people find that with the shorter days and colder weather, they have more time at home to notice areas that need attention. If you are thinking of doing a little redecorating or nest feathering, it's a great idea to start a Home Style File first.
After all, with the new year comes some pretty amazing sales. Retailers want to make room for new shipments, holidays are over and mark downs are taking place all over. Why not take advantage?
Most people redecorate their homes in an on-going process rather than all at once. Creating a Home Style File saves time, money and eases stress as you redesign your home.
So here's what I tell all new clients when we start the process. Create a folder, binder or notebook that includes the following items:
Your floorplan. If you're handy with a computer, make one with a design program, but a rough sketch will do. You'll need to know your measurements so that when you find that one-of-a-kind piece on final blow out sale, you will know it's the right size. Eyeballing won't do, trust me.
Measurements of your furniture. Write a list of all items you already have, noting the height, width and depth. Also list the ideal dimensions of any pieces you are looking for.
Photos of your home's interior. This helps in so many ways. The vast majority of people have trouble visualizing. Keeping the photos handy helps because it's really easy to forget the details and scale when you're out and about. Plus it can assist in communicating your questions and ideas with in-store designers who might have some great advice. If there's room to keep the pictures in your phone, that works too.
Your colors and fabric swatches. You might have to bring along pillow covers if you don't have swatches. You can also get a paint color fan deck and pull out the color chips that best match all the items in your phone. (I keep two fan decks- one in full and one to pull out the colors.) Can't get your hands on a fan deck? Go to your local paint store and grab a range of paint chips in colors you think look close. You can then see the best match once you get home. For example, I didn't have a leather swatch from my Eames Lounger. So I took a handful of caramel paint chips from Home Depot and found the closest color once I laid them all on top of the chair seat.
Inspirational photos. Tear out magazine pages of the overall look you are going for as well as individual items that you love. It's amazing what you can find when you put your attention on it!
Gather any coupons. Bed, Bath & Beyond sends a coupon in the mail every month. Hey, 20% helps when you're buying something like a new duvet cover. If you happen to be driving past one, it's nice to have the coupon with you.
Keep your Home Style File handy. I leave mine in the trunk of my car...chances are I'll need it when I least expect.

So I realized that I have what appears to be a small Hemlock seedling growing under the Japanese maple in my garden. I really don't want to kill it, cause it's so cute, but I don't think it's a good idea to just leave it there, for the sake of it and all my plants around it. So I guess my question is, should I/is it worth digging up the seedling and putting it in a container till it is bigger (and I find a new place for it)? Or will it sustain too much root damage to grow well? Because the area it is growing in is rather compact and rocky.=( P.S: The seedling I have looks around the size of the one in the link attached below. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Hemlock Seedling
Follow-Up Postings:
Well, you're going to have to do something about it anyway...might as well put it in a container now. Spring is the best time to do it anyway. Are you sure it's Hemlock? Yew can look similar when really young and it's far more common to see seedlings in landscaped areas. |

The Rhode Island seaside town of Newport is best known for sprawling mansions and billionaires.
But if you're less into pearls and more into X-games, Newport has plenty to keep your adrenaline pumping all weekend long.
What better way to get the lay of the land than by jumping out of a plane? At Skydive Newport, you'll be flying out over the ocean, beaches, and rugged cliffs. Your tandem jump puts you in the hands of a capable, fully-trained staff member, making it the perfect experience for first-time skydivers. Or your buddy who's afraid of heights... not that you are.
From $220. 211 Airport Access Rd., Middletown (401-845-0393)
Most of Newport's famous cliff walk caters to fans of manicured lawns and wildflowers. Skip that part and go straight to the southern half of the hike, where nice houses and hummingbirds give way to rugged cliffs and a rocky shoreline. Just a few feet from the path are steep drops of up to 70 feet. Wear sneakers, watch where you're going, and stay clear of poison ivy.
More info here
Forget sitting pretty on the beach. Strap on an oxygen tank and check out the hardcore sealife underneath the waves. The Dive Shop in Newport sells and rents everything you need. They have classes that range from beginner to master, so you'll be throwing out your beach umbrella in no time.
From $450. 550 Thames St., Newport (401-847-9293)
Celebrate your all-around bada$$ery by grabbing a few beers at Pour Judgment Bar and Grill. The wildly popular bar has more than 45 beers to choose from and cheese fries that you would jump out of a plane for (if you hadn't done that already).

Mises Daily
Death of Forecasting
"If it were possible to calculate the future structure of the market, the future would not be uncertain. There would be neither entrepreneurial loss nor profit. What people expect from the economists is beyond the power of any mortal man."
Ludwig von Mises (1949)
Human Action: The Scholar's Edition, p. 867.
The Wall Street Journal
April 29, 1999
Companies Reduce the Number Of Positions Held by Economists
By TRISTAN MABRY
The oracles of the economy have seen the future of their profession and the outlook is hardly bright.
In a time of general prosperity, traditional economists are joining their own statistics as newly unemployed, displaced by employers' growing dissatisfaction with general economic forecasting and by consolidation among banks and securities firms.
In the past year, numerous companies have either trimmed the size of their economics departments or eliminated them altogether. BankAmerica Corp. closed its 21-person economics group last year and reassigned six economists to other duties.
Wells Fargo & Co. laid off a dozen economists long before merging with Norwest Corp. last November, leaving the merged company with just three economists -- all from Norwest. The economics department at the former Citibank, which once exceeded 120 people but had been shrinking for years, didn't survive last year's merger between Citicorp and Travelers Group Inc. that created the financial giant Citigroup Inc. The economics department at Travelers' Salomon Smith Barney unit did survive the merger and now has about 50 economists.
Robert A. Brusca, formerly chief economist at Nikko Securities Co. International in New York, a unit of Japan's Nikko Securities Co., is among the newest casualties. After 13 years with the Japanese bank, Mr. Brusca's department was eliminated Friday, the result of Nikko's partnership with Travelers Group. "Before I came to Nikko, I was interviewing for four chief-economist jobs at very substantial firms," said Mr. Brusca. "Now, you're lucky to be interviewing for any."
Different Jobs, Rising Pay
But all isn't lost. For while jobs for traditional economists are disappearing, people with economic training are finding new kinds of jobs and their salaries continue to rise. They are being hired either by nontraditional employers such as accounting or consulting firms or by more traditional employers that need economists even if they don't need forecasters.
"This is the first time in all my life that I'm finishing something, and I don't know what happens next, but I don't feel really bad about it," said Mr. Brusca. "There are a lot of new opportunities out there."
But gone are the days when a fuzzy-headed academic clad in chalk-dusted tweed could be left alone to forecast the nation's economic future and to harvest reports on obscure subjects. Newly hired economists are expected to deliver research custom-tailored to specific businesses and to interpret government economic data in such a way that is useful for management.
"In the old days, just getting the numbers had value," said Caroline Scott of Chicago consulting firm McCoy Scott Co. "But now you can go directly to government Web sites on the Internet and download the data for free into a spreadsheet or modeling program."
Changing Needs
Another change is that most chief executives "are aware of the economy on their own without the coaching of an economist," said Van Bussman, head U.S. economist at auto maker DaimlerChrysler Corp. "Where economists can add value is in the interpretation" of economic shifts and trends "to their industry and the firm itself."
At paper company Weyerhaeuser Co., which reduced its economics department years ago from a dozen people to just five, chief economist Lynn Michaelis said his team no longer tries to map out the movements of the entire economy but tries to spot "strategically significant" events that affect wood prices, such as falling demand or shifts in construction starts.
Businesses started to question the value of general economic forecasting in the late 1970s when the country was reeling from the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries oil shock, a political event that caused enormous economic dislocations and which the profession was unprepared to explain. More recently, economic forecasters underestimated the length and strength of the current economic expansion that has fueled Wall Street's enormous stock rally.
"Many popular economic models were woefully inadequate," remembered Joel Prakken, chairman of consulting firm Macro-Economic Advisers Ltd. As corporate America squeezed through rounds of downsizing in the 1980s, "one of the places that CEOs looked to cut costs was economics departments," he said.
Financial Sector Joins In
Manufacturing companies were among the first to cut. International Business Machines Corp., which had as many as 50 economists during the 1970s, now has only a few. And it has no forecaster.
These days, it is the finance industry that is cutting back. "It was much later in occurring, but it's the same kind of shift," said DaimlerChrysler's Mr. Bussman. "The financial sector is maybe 10 years behind the industrial sector in this area."
The changes haven't been lost on the profession. Last year, the National Association of Business Economists changed its name to the National Association for Business Economics. The switch was necessary, according to NABE's executive director Susan Doolittle, because "a large percentage of our members no longer have the word economist in their title."
In light of current hiring demands, that percentage is likely to grow. Of 23 job postings in the organization's last newsletter, only 10 include the word "economist." According to the NABE, the median salary of "economics professionals" increased to $80,000 last year, up 9.5% from the group's prior biannual survey in 1996, and the biggest two-year percentage gain since 1986.
The NABE said the major employers of economists also are changing. In 1978, manufacturing firms were home to more than one in four economists while consulting firms hired just 8%. Today, consulting firms hire 19% of economists, while manufacturing has just 7%. Among consulting firms, accounting firms are currently the biggest recruiters, said the NABE's Ms. Doolittle.

Dr. Aliaga Dermatology Clinic Dr. Aliaga is a dermatology center focused on health and skin care. Our clinic has leading dermatologists in Valencia , as well as advanced technology. Our beginnings date back to 1940, when Dr. Emilio Aliaga Ferrís (1910-2002), Doctor of Medicine and Surgery, opens a small query of Dermatology in Valencia.
From there, Dr. Aliaga begins a relentless and absolute dedication to the world of dermatology. The great vocation Dr. Emilio Aliaga felt for the fascinating world of the skin, was such that his son Adolfo (1941-2002), just after a medical career, did not hesitate to follow the footsteps of his father, who always was for him a great inspiration and role model.
This is a very effective alternative for the treatment of melasma and chloasma type stains.
It is a treatment based on the topical application of high concentrations of vitamin C.
Laser treatments also are frequently used to remove tattoos.
The laser we have is an Alexandrite laser generation, Candela house.
We provide you with everything you need to diagnose and treat various types of pathology.
A cosmetic treatment is based on the potential for cure of blood bioestimular skin cells.
Personally we deal with processing and reporting histological samples (biopsies).

Create the Father's Day card he will remember
Posted By Rachel B On May 29, 2010 @ 7:00 am In Family | 5 Comments
The men in my life are tough to shop for [1]. Two of them are firm believers in NO PRESENTS EVER! – what? Are you kidding? – and the other two have absolutely everything.
I've come up with an effective solution to these challenges, though, and it's called the personalized photo card [2]. A photo card is small, so even the man who has everything will find a place for it. It's personalized, so he's guaranteed to appreciate it. AND technically, it's not really a present. Plus, I've come up with a secret formula to create the card he will always remember.
Here's the secret, in case you want to use it for yourself. Go ahead, I don't mind. All you need to do is answer one of these questions and you'll have the perfect words for your Father's Day card [3]:
If you need a little more inspiration to get you started, take a look at the example above.
Do you have a Father's Day card question or idea? Let me know by commenting on this blog!

I have a slater invasion in my bathtub worm farm.
Any ideas to eradicate them. Ducks love them but I think the slaters who have quick little legs would get away and colonise in other areas of my garden. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated |
Follow-Up Postings:
i myself have never had slaters cause any discernable damage in my system, if they are in your worm farm this would indicate the same, they, like lots of other things live on decomposing organic matter so they will be doing their bit in converting your organic material. you may need to seek out a vermicompost group/thread to get more ideas if they are needed. len |
Hey there, I had to look up what a slater was. Pill bug, sow bug, rolly polly, etc. I wouldn't worry too much about them. If anything, they are helping to break down the compostable materials in your bin. You can get rid of them the same way you get rid of earwigs: put out some damp newspaper at night, then in the morning, throw it away. The sow bugs will nest in the newspaper. Have a good day, |
- Posted by bigeasyjock z8Ms (My Page) on Wed, Jul 20, 05 at 8:43
Slaters! Thats a new one on me too ;o) Slaters are good guys or bad guys depending on the situation. Good when in the compost pile as they break down the organics for your use, bad guys when they munch on your plant roots. If they are interfering with the worms in some way I would be concerned otherwise they are helping you out. Don't fight nature but work with it to reach your desires. I would screen the compost if going into a seed bed to remove the ... slaters. You Auzzies ;o) The removed bugs would be enjoyed by your chickens if you have 'em. G'Day now from the American south :o) Mike |

Civil engineering student given $20K for precast, pre-stressed concrete research
Posted By Tina Grady Barbaccia On October 2, 2012 @ 9:24 am In eRoadPro Newsletter,News & Analysis,The Roadologist | No Comments
New Mexico State University (NMSU) civil engineering student Andrew Giesler's tuition might be a little easier now with his $20,000 award from the Daniel P. Jenny Research Fellowship program.
The fellowship to further his research testing precast, pre-stressed concrete was awarded through the Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute. It is effective in Spring 2013, when Giesler, currently a senior, begins his work as a graduate student.
Giesler and Brad Weldon, a civil engineering instructor, will conduct large-scale testing on beams made from ultra-high performance concrete, a mixture produced at NMSU, from local materials, according to an Oct. 1 report in the Las Cruces (New Mexico) Sun-News.

At just over a pound I really wasn't expecting the genuine apple product in all honesty. But I did expect it to atleast fit in the charging point! Nope. Didn't even get to watch it fail miserably at charging my ipod, as its been made too big. Good imitation but a complete waste of time.

In the Garden: Mason Bees
EUGENE, Ore. — Every garden needs a pollinator, like the mason bee.
