State Fish and Game Officials Join Students for Annual Salmon Stocking in Western Massachusetts
102,000 young salmon released in tributaries of Westfield River
CHESTER - May 4, 2010 - As part of a federal and state species restoration effort, Massachusetts Department of Fish and Game (DFG) Commissioner Mary Griffin today joined students, teachers, and wildlife officials to release 102,000 half-inch long salmon into the West Branch of the Westfield River.
Students from Chester Elementary School met with Commissioner Griffin and MassWildlife Anadromous Fish Project Leader Caleb Slater to stock the river behind the school. The annual event is part of an ongoing project to restore Atlantic salmon to its native habitat in the Connecticut River watershed. Third and fourth grade students have been raising the fry and learning about Atlantic salmon restoration during school this year.
"Species restoration is an extremely difficult endeavor and we greatly appreciate all of the volunteers who help us in the effort to bring back naturally reproducing Atlantic salmon in the Connecticut River watershed," Commissioner Griffin said. "Our spring fish stocking events are a great opportunity for outdoor enthusiasts of all ages to participate in and learn about wildlife and environmental stewardship."
Atlantic salmon are making a steady comeback in the Connecticut River, thanks to a cooperative restoration program run by Massachusetts and other New England state wildlife agencies and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
DFG's Division of Fisheries and Wildlife (MassWildlife) staff and a cadre of volunteers will stock 1.5 million state and federal hatchery-raised salmon fry (baby salmon) into Connecticut River tributaries during April and May.
The fry for Massachusetts stocking come from MassWildlife's Roger Reed Hatchery in Palmer and the White River National Fish Hatchery in Bethel,Vermont.
The Connecticut River's once-abundant native runs of Atlantic salmon were extirpated 200 years ago due to the development of dams that blocked their migration from the sea to rivers. As a result of the 20-year Connecticut River salmon restoration program, several hundred adult Atlantic salmon once again return to the Connecticut River to spawn each year.
Female salmon bury fertilized eggs in stream bottom gravel nests in late autumn and fry hatch in late winter and emerge from the gravel in early spring. After living for two years in freshwater, young salmon migrate to the ocean where they grow to maturity. After living two to three years at sea, adult salmon weighing eight to 15 pounds return to their native streams to repeat the spawning cycle.
In addition to stocking salmon fry, MassWildlife's migratory fish programs include monitoring fish passage at dams on the Connecticut, Westfield, and MerrimackRivers; trapping salmon and shad for transport to hatcheries or upstream locations; working with federal agencies to ensure safe upstream and downstream fish passage at hydroelectric dams; and helping local watershed groups improve freshwater fish habitat.

Are Diane Kruger And Joshua Jackson Engaged? 'Fringe' Actor Hints Longtime Couple May Never Marry! (PHOTOS)
Are Diane Kruger and Joshua Jackson engaged? Despite rumors about the longtime couple, Jackson has now hinted that they may, in fact, never get married! What? "Josh and Diane are very close to getting engaged," a friend reportedly told Us Weekly. "They decided they're ready for the next step. They're excited!"
Despite the report, Jackson told ET Canada that he and Kruger are not walking down the aisle. "No, we're not engaged," Jackson said while holding up his ring-less hands. "I'm not sure, in the modern world, that that's the track that we're taking."
Jackson also said previously that marriage isn't necessarily important for him and his GF, Kruger. "Marriage is important for the people it's important for, but neither one of us is particularly religious, so I don't think there's any particular push," Jackson said in 2012. "But never say never! I don't know." Kruger made similar comments to Glamour in 2011. "I don't believe in marriage. I believe in a commitment that you make in your heart."
SEE ALSO: Check Out Diane Kruger's New Chanel Campaign!
Kruger was married to Guillaume Canet from 2001-2006. Canet is now with actress Marion Cotillard. In the new Marie Claire UK, Kruger opened about her relationship with Jackson. "All relationships are hard," Kruger said. "It doesn't matter what job you have, or how famous or miserable or poor you are. It's about commitment." "The hard part is the timing," Kruger continued. "When you meet someone, are you ready to make them your number-one priority? I'm grateful that I met a person who feels the same not just about me, but about our relationship." Kruger also admitted that she and Jackson attend therapy sessions.
"It's funny, in Paris people don't talk about it. But here everyone talks about it, and I really like that about America," Kruger told the magazine. "Therapy's not about getting help; it's facilitating yourself to deal better with life in general."

Preliminary exit poll results from the Florida primary indicate that campaign advertising and the presidential debates weighed heavily on voters' minds as they headed to the polls today.
The campaign ads that ran in the state were mostly negative. About four in 10 voters said such advertising was an important factor in their vote, reports ABC News' Gary Langer of Langer Research Associates.
That number – roughly 40 percent – is about the same as what was seen in New Hampshire.
Also key were the debates. "Around two-thirds of Florida voters say the debates were an important factor in their vote in today's primary, about the same as in South Carolina, where Gingrich benefited from his pre-primary debate performances," Langer reports.
Here are some other factoids from the preliminary results, per Langer:
"Four in 10 voters in preliminary exit poll results said they chose their candidate before the start of this month — many more early deciders than in South Carolina, and similar to the number in New Hampshire. On the flipside, only about a quarter decided in Florida in the last few days – fewer than half the number of later deciders in South Carolina, 55 percent."
"Nearly half of voters pick electability – the candidate who has the best chance to defeat Barack Obama – as the most important candidate attribute – about as many as chose it in South Carolina, and more than in either New Hampshire or Iowa. That's far ahead of the roughly two in 10 who care most about a candidate with the right experience or one with 'strong moral character.' And, after a race in which ideological credentials were a sharp focus, only about one in 10 think being a true conservative is most important."
"As a further indication of his general appeal, basic favorability toward Romney as a person far outpaces that of Gingrich. About three-quarters of Florida primary-goers have a favorable opinion of Romney, while only slightly more than half say so about Gingrich."

are they really hating the name 'Christina Aguilera' on the radio? smh
are they really hating the name 'Christina Aguilera' on the radio? smh
and its no secret that this bitch hates xtina smh
wow at the argument on the last few pages
its nice of penayforay giving facts like the 'britney clearchannel dispute' as to oppose of just arguing based on personal opinion and projecting it as a general public's opinion
Before penayforay makes more accounts to message me (get a life honey), let me make my thoughts on Lotus & Christina clear.
Lotus was supposed to signify Christina's return to prominence, which is why she collaborated with some of the biggest pop-hit making producers on the album (Max Martin, Shellback, to name a few) and also with her fellow Voice judges, Blake Shelton & Cee Lo Green. But the album had a rocky start of only < 73,000 in its first week, despite a promotion performance she did on The Voice for the album alongside Cee Lo. And despite followup performances on TV on both the Voice, and other shows, the album and its singles tanked. At the end of January, 2013, the album has sold less than 200k in the US, and the singles have sold a combined less than 1 million in the US. Worldwide, this album marked some of the lowest sales figures Christina has ever posted.
So no matter how big of a fan you are, you cannot deny that Lotus wasn't exactly a comeback, because it was basically a non-event. Christina commands a massive and somewhat protective/delusional fan base (some of which you can evidence here), but it was probably wrong of her fans to expect big things from Lotus given her history with Bionic. Say all you want about it being 'ahead of its time' or whatever but album sales being what they are nowadays, that only tells half the story. It's better to look at how she's fared on the singles charts because her fans probably should have seen all this coming and tempered their expectations accordingly.
So first let's look at the facts.
- Christina has had three solo #1's on the Billboard Hot 100
- Her fourth was "Lady Marmalade" on which she's featured alongside other artists
- Her fifth was "Moves Like Jagger," where is a featured artist on a Maroon 5 song.
- Since 2002, she's only had three singles land in the top 10 (2002's "Beautiful," 2006's "Ain't No Other Man" and 2008's "Keeps Gettin' Better")
- Her best showing in recent years was "Not Myself Tonight," which made it to #23.
- Lotus' first single, "Your Body," peaked at #34, and eight weeks after it was released, it tanked at #84.
These are just facts.
Moving on,
Christina failed to replicate the chart success of pop stars like Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, & Rihanna with Lotus. There are plenty of theories & prevailing thoughts (whether real or imagined) that she's not as likable, does not work overtime to channel the same outsider spirit (and therefore isn't as relatable), has radio against her (which makes no sense as the singles tanked all over the world, not just in the US) or simply hasn't been as smart with her choices of singles to release.
The truth of the matter lies in her lack of singles success, because it suggests that Christina is no longer a pop star like Rihanna or Katy Perry; she's a niche artist like Adele. Which is why I pointed out that Christina needs to put out albums like the widely acclaimed, Grammy winning Back to Basics, and not something like Lotus.
In her best moments (and I wish there were more of them on Lotus), she can out-sing just about anybody, and sings circles around GaGa, Rihanna, Katy Perry, Britney Spears, etc. She still releases interesting stuff, and I do love "Just a Fool" and think there are plenty of equally worthy follow-ups on Lotus, like "Blank Page" or "Best of Me".
She has a loyal fanbase, one that has thinned in recent years, but remains nonetheless. She can still work with anyone she pleases and make the kinds of albums she wants. But this doesn't mean she will be successful in doing so, as evidenced by Bionic and Lotus. As far as niche artists go, Christina's got it pretty good as evidenced by the success of Back to Basics, which focuses on the 20's and 30's jazzy style of music which she did justice.
But I really think that it's time for her to stop trying to compete with her contemporaries by releasing songs like "Your Body" and embrace the uniqueness of her situation.
As far as I'm concerned, everything about Lotus went wrong. It was inevitable that it would fail the minute she put out "Your Body". In my opinion, she never needed a comeback. She was fine exactly where she was and should have just put out music that helps her shine as a niche artist after the one misstep of Bionic. Her voice is unique and lends itself very well to such music, similar to how Adele can push ballads to the top of the charts everywhere around the world. But her voice & image doesn't fare well against her other contemporaries when she sings mainstream pop.
In good news I'm glad to have blocked penayforay for this nonsense to stop. I'm also glad camp Christina seems to have given up on Lotus. Hopefully her next album (if any) takes her back to what she's good at as opposed to trying to be good at whatever everyone else is good at.
I mean...I've already got into grad school and I'm just waiting to finish undergrad.
I have plenty of time to burn.

jesus christ. I just skimmed that. Literally does not in any way address my issue with radio.
lol BreakTheIce telling me to get a life. I wonder how long that wall of text took him.
its actually very interesting that BreakTheIce thinks RCA is done with Lotus when they literally just sent Just A Fool to Adult Contemporary radios in the US a few days ago.
But obviously he wouldnt know that because his arguments are based on his feelings and personal opinions.

lol she bought the Osbournes place for $11.5 million and sold it for $13.5 Million.
I think its really amazing that she singlehandedly earned all that money through her own hard work and talent to buy that mansion in the first place. Kelly Osbourne stays pressed with her shitty low paying fashion police job.
pretty well summarized, BreakTheIce. I couldn't agree with you more.
so, i gave "lotus" a spin. i quite like aguilera, eventhough i think shes always been a little hit-or-miss.
well, her latest effort didnt impress me. basically, "just a fool" is the only song i like, and it sounds like it belongs on a different album.
"lotus" sounds generic, a little desperate, and kinda rihannabe.
i think aguileras voice sounds best against a more organic backdrop, as in "stripped" and "back to basic". "bionic" was slick, but at least it was also interesting and daring and energetic. "lotus" just sounds unflattering and boring to me.
after hearing "just a fool", im kinda hoping her next album is gonna be country/blues/folk-pop. i think that would be an interesting direction for her to explore.
luv xtina. really wished lotus did much better.
I hate to say it but just a fool was a bad choice as far as singles.army of me would've been better.just a fool should've been a fourth single to close out the album.her problem is she needs to reinvent herself instead of playing the same game.the reason why stripped and back to the basics did well was cause she brought new vibes to both.
what am i good at? haha!
just found this little gem.
oh radio politics. not to rehash a old topic but
1. blocking is a two way street
2. i wonder how many people knew what clearchannel was before I mentioned it.
Its also highly suspicious how Ryan Seapressed refused to add Just a Fool to his Hot Adult Contemporary Radio show despite JAF's charting position on HAC radio charts. just saying.
in other news, Xtina will be in the FTM video coming out in two weeks.

Truthfully, recently Kelly Clarkson has been doing way better live performances than Christina. Christina is an amazing vocalist too but I feel like she hasn't done great live performances recently. And hasn't toured either so really there's no reference point for us to look at but maybe their televised appearances.
I thought Christina had the flu during her People's Choice performance, but it turns out she didn't, so I don't know why she was out of tune the first 45 seconds of the performance, and then in various parts of the bridge following through as well. Kelly's most recent televised performance was that on the Grammys where she got a standing ovation from everyone in the room, and was considered by many as one of the vocal highlights of the evening.
I feel like Christina has a slightly broader range, but is more limited to what she can sing to make her voice shine through because I feel as if her voice does best in the mid range (like on tracks like Beautiful), not her lower or upper register. Her higher chest notes seemed to be forced sometimes. You can easily witness this by watching her (in the past) attempting to hit the famous F5 note in "I Turn To You" live. She usually changes the note in her live appearances
Kelly I feel has less of a range than Christina but is more versatile in what she can sing. Although like Christina Kelly has a head voice, it often seems disconnected from her chest voice. Christina I feel uses the head voice better, but Kelly I feel does a better job from going through the lower ends of her register to her soaring chest voice.
Comes down to personal preference really, but judging them as vocalists I feel lately Kelly is doing a better job than Christina.
Edit -> If you want to compare them both hitting an F5 here's Kelly's version of it
At around 8:30

Here for Christina's F5
Around 9:30
just posted on her Facebook.
maybe we'll finally get a JAF video
Mr. Worldwide and Legendtina Aguilera! Feel This Moment, daleee!
The video is nothing extraordinary but at least we get to see her and she looks HOT!
innocentbychoice, you beat me to it.
i kind of wish they released it on a monday tho seeing as how youtube streams now count for bb hot 100...that way it would have gotten a full week of streams counted
also she's supposedly performing this with pitbull on the kids choice awards...maybe on Dancing with the stars
also she's doing a Diana Ross tribute with Jennifer Hudson sometime in the future
so many views for Your Body these past few days! dayum!
Love Christina Aguilera.
This may be one of the really rare moments where Mickey Mouse club graduates Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, and Justin Timberlake are all in the Hot 100 top 10.
#10 - Feel This Moment
#9 - Scream and Shout
#4 - Suit & Tie
As for Feel This Moment, I don't really like any of Pitbull's lyrics and don't like the "Take on Me" melody interpolated in it either. I really wish they'd given Christina more lines in that song. She says the same lines over and over. Her voice is so much better than his (as in she can actually sing).

Yes! A lot of views for Your Body and Lotus rose to #65 on Billboard so I'm gonna say it's doing pretty good despite Xtina's lack of interest. Too bad Lotus is over (not that it actually started), that's basically what she said, she's going on vacation:
I was initially shocked but I got over it...I mean it's not like she was actually trying so I saw it coming. What still amazes me is that it seems like she really doesn't give a crap...It's really sad and I know a lot of fans are leaving the boat, I'm staying but if she keeps sabotaging her music career like this (I know she's doing preeetty good in other areas of the entertainment business) I don't how long she'll keep her A-List status.
And yeah Kid Choice Awards tonight and the Diana Ross tribute in April...that's all we have to look forward to right now.
As far as Christina's music goes...I think she's been on "vacation" for a while.
Still love her though. She's given me some good tunes over the years.
'Your Body' STILL slays me.
I don't understand why she just gives up like this, same thing with Bionic. Smh.Christina Aguilera hyped her most recent record, 'Lotus,' to the high heavens — but unfortunately, it flopped, likely due at least in part to a lack of real promotion from the singer. While her initial hiatus from 'The Voice' was originally supposed to be to allow her to tour in support of the album, that's looking far less likely.
Aguilera explained of her time away from the NBC hit, "I need moments to step away from the camera. I have selected performances here and there right now … This is a sort of down time for me right now."
She did promise, however, that new music may be on the horizon … but she didn't give too many details. "I'm going on vacation next week with my son, first time in Japan, which is such an inspirational place for me," she gushed. "Get re-inspired, rejuvenated for what's to come … I can't say everything!"
As for her temporary replacement on 'The Voice?' Aguilera is firmly Team Shakira for the upcoming season. "It's always girl power," she grinned. "I'm very much in support of any woman who's willing to take on all this testosterone at once and do it 24/7! I had three seasons of it and I needed a moment away … to feel this moment," she quipped, referencing her duet with Mr. 305. "Pitbull!"
But don't worry — it sounds like XTina will return to her big red chair soon enough. "'The Voice' has always been amazing to me. Mark Burnett is such a positive person and truly understands that artists need their space to be artists," she explained. "I'm not a robot — I can't be in front of the camera all of the time! You learn as you grow in this business … you need a moment so you can offer more as an artist and as a coach."
'You do mommy'
I notice the more I see "interviews" with Christina, the less I like her. Have any of you guys ever had that experience with her or any other celeb before?
I will never ever forgive her because of abandoning Just A Fool and paid it in a dust
she could make a scrap black n white music video with white background tho
Many celebrities and famous online personalities hate her because they say she's a super bitch. Examples include Kelly Osbourne, Joan Rivers, Mary J Blige, Mariah Carey, Perez Hilton...
She does seem to come across in her interviews as if she's the best thing that happened to music, ever. I'm not a big fan of per personality and lately not a fan of her music either. I much prefer Shakira on The Voice over Christina.
Christina's image as well (especially in recent years) has been in my opinion very terrible. Forget the weight gain/loss she's been going through ever since she gave birth. In my opinion she's always struggled with her image as an artist. She comes across as someone who's trying to be the "Voice of the Generation" but at the same time she also wants to be slutty, raunchy, and use her Lotus (that's code for vagina) to sell records. She constantly says people like Etta James and Aretha Franklin were huge influences on her but then decides to sing "all I wanna do is fuck your body".
I think she's struggling big time in trying to make herself musically immortal like Madonna or Kylie, who constantly re-invent their image. She reinvents herself in a moment's notice from performance to performance but she does is so arbitrarily, nobody can take her seriously. It doesn't ever feel genuine. It's almost as if she just keeps throwing every idea against the wall and hoping something will stick.
There is no originality, there is no direction with both her image and music lately. There is only mess after mess after mess, and judging by how Lotus failed all over the world (and not just the US), and her tour canceled (technically never even planned) the public is losing interest at a more rapid rate than ever.
Oh well, at least we can enjoy the golden days of her career.
^ Well said! And I couldn't agree more. As usual, you've summed my thoughts up perfectly. *takes notes*
No, but that does pretty much sum it up.
some of her interviews lately have been a bit rehearsed. Would love to see her on a British talk show like Alan Carr or Graham Norton.
also: lol at Ryan saying dahhling just like Mariah.

Apparently Christina was MIA for a performance she was supposed to do!
When this year's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction is broadcast on HBO May 18, you can "dim all the lights" on any hopes of seeing Christina Aguilera sing in tribute to Donna Summer. Though previously advertised as a musical guest who'd be saluting the late disco queen, Aguilera was an unexplained no-show at Thursday night's ceremony, leaving curious attendees to wonder whether she'd lost her voice on top of temporarily abandoning her "Voice" post.
That left it up to planned partner Jennifer Hudson to go it solo and work doubly hard for the money...at about half her former size, judging from the skintight bodysuit she wore while serenading the crowd with a medley of "Bad Girls" and "Last Dance." Hudson looked like she was on her way to the Bob Mackie Hall of Fame ceremony in this glittery outfit, but even the Rush fanatics who packed L.A.'s Nokia Theatre for the show weren't complaining, about either her sexy get-up or the high notes she expertly hit at the climax of "Dance."
Left unspoken was whether it had been planned that Aguilera would sing one of the two Summer numbers that ended up with Hudson, or whether attendees missed out on the chance to hear Christina replicate the classic moans of "Love to Love You Baby." Aguilera did not take to her Twitter account or anywhere else to explain being MIA, and her publicist did not immediately respond to requests for comment on her absence Friday.
At least the epic glories of "Love to Love You Baby" did not go unremarked upon. In an effusively delivered induction speech, Kelly Rowland noted that producer Giorgio Moroder "laid down a 17-minute track for Donna to sing over...I'm pretty sure me and a lot of y'all out there were made to that record."
With Hudson in the lead, the dress code skewed much glitzier than it usually does at a Rock Hall of Fame ceremony certainly varied, thanks largely to an unusual number of sharply attired R&B and film/TV celebrities on hand to salute the honorees. Oprah Winfrey inducted Quincy Jones, while a typically well-dressed Harry Belafonte joined a typically jersey-ed Spike Lee in offering props to Public Enemy. Flavor Flav wore a white tux with tails, as did the young son he dressed in identical garb and literally dragged to the podium.
Usher paid homage to Quincy Jones by way of doing a Michael Jackson tribute, singing "Rock With You" in black leather formal wear accented by a tiny red bow tie and red shoes, a la Jackson's pre-militaristic garb.
It was up to the likes of John Fogerty to really let rock's freak flag fly, as he wore his usual flannel shirt while supporting honoree Randy Newman in his opening number and participating in the show-ending jam.
Perhaps the most notable sartorial surprise belonged to Foo Fighters, who made an appearance as a Rush tribute band, wearing wigs and white kimonos as they banged through some famous riffs before the real Rush came out and replaced them. The outfits represented a semi-inside reference to what Dave Grohl previously referred to in his induction speech as "the most infamous band photo of all time," a '70s shot in which Rush somehow managed to combine kimonos with embarrassingly skintight pants.
well we can do hope for her appearance at TIME Gala Event
she slims down a little and the media goes crazy
i think christina aguilera "slim" was trending on yahoo news yesterday lol
she looks happy tho.
and she sounded absolutely amazing (from the few snippets I've heard. The full live performances...i cant seem to find)
amy was so drunk lmao
...and to think Christina had to cancel her appearance at the Donna Summer tribute a few days ago because she was feeling under the weather

she lost weight
and the right make up hair and black dress
I love her performance outfit too
Baby Jane is back!
Such a fun, retro thread. I totally remember late-90s artists like Christina Aguilera and Vitamin C and Hoku. "Come on over, baby!"
She dropped some pounds and looks great! Pic on the set of her video with Alejandro Fernandez from her Twitter:

The intestinal microbiome is a critical determinant of human health. Alterations in its composition have been correlated with chronic disorders, such as obesity and inflammatory bowel disease in adults, and may be associated with neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis in premature infants. Increasing evidence suggests that strain-level genomic variation may underpin distinct ecological trajectories within mixed populations, yet there have been few strain-resolved analyses of genotype–phenotype connections in the context of the human ecosystem. Here, we document strainlevel genomic divergence during the first 3 wk of life within the fecal microbiota of an infant born at 28-wk gestation. We observed three compositional phases during colonization, and reconstructed and intensively curated population genomic datasets from the third phase. The relative abundance of two Citrobacter strains sharing ~99% nucleotide identity changed significantly over time within a community dominated by a nearly clonal Serratia population and harboring a lower abundance Enterococcus population and multiple plasmids and bacteriophage. Modeling of Citrobacter strain abundance suggests differences in growth rates and host colonization patterns. We identified genotypic variation potentially responsible for divergent strain ecologies, including hotspots of sequence variation in regulatory genes and intergenic regions, and in genes involved in transport, flagellar biosynthesis, substrate metabolism, and host colonization, as well as differences in the complements of these genes. Our results demonstrate that a community genomic approach can elucidate gut microbial colonization at the resolution required to discern medically relevant strain and species population dynamics, and hence improve our ability to diagnose and treat microbial community-mediated disorders.
Intestinal microbes influence human health through harvesting of energy from dietary substrates, production of essential nutrients, and protection against colonization by pathogens (Dethlefsen et al., 2007; Hooper et al., 2002). Although the adult gut microbiota is highly variable between individuals, it displays limited diversity at the phylum level: only two bacterial phyla (Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes) contribute∼90% of all microbes (Eckburg et al., 2005). In infants, early assembly of the gut microbiota has been linked to development of innate immune responses and terminal differentiation of intestinal structures (Hooper et al., 2001). The dynamic process of colonization has been well studied at high taxonomic levels (Palmer et al., 2007) and seems predictable based on competitive interactions between and within the dominant phyla (Trosvik et al., 2010). Yet at lower taxonomic levels, and at early stages of development, our knowledge of this process is incomplete.
Strain-level analyses of clinical isolates using multilocus sequence typing (MLST) and comparative genomics have been used to differentiate closely related organisms (Hanage et al., 2009; Palmer et al., 2010). However, important contextual information may be lost when interpreting genomic variation between

The Coffee Climate Care Project Addresses Climate Change In The Vietnamese Coffee Sector
HANOI, Vietnam and AMSTERDAM, October 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
UTZ Certified and the DE (Douwe Egberts) Foundation have launched the Coffee Climate Care project (C 3), a three-year multi-stakeholder initiative aimed at establishing adaptation strategies that will make coffee producers more resilient against the impacts of climate change. The project will start with one pilot group of about 500 producers in Vietnam's Lam Dong province. The initiative is financed by UTZ Certified and the DE Foundation and further sponsored by the Deutsche Investitions und Entwicklungsgesellschaft (DEG) with public funds of the German Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20131014/647267 )
The C 3 project will have three stages: i) assessing the climate vulnerability and collecting relevant data on farms' greenhouse gas emissions and carbon stocks, ii) training of farmers on adaptation measures, and iii) the consolidation of results into a refined version of the UTZ Certified code of conduct. At the end of 2016, UTZ Certified and the DE Foundation are expecting to present the results, which will serve as the basis for future development of adaptation techniques in coffee's supply chains.
"Climate change is a global challenge. Therefore, eventually we want to apply the lessons learnt from the C 3 project in Vietnam across our worldwide network of coffee producers," said Britta Wyss Bisang, Standards Director at UTZ Certified. "By strengthening our certification program in adaptation measures related to climate variability, we can build new capacities at the farmer level that will benefit all actors along the supply chain." The C 3 project will be a collaborative approach supported by the know-how of several institutions such as the Vietnamese Coffee Research Institute and the Initiative for coffee and climate, among many others. "During our presence in Vietnam, since 2001, we have seen rainfall patterns become more erratic, with longer and more pronounced drought periods and heavier rainfall in the wet season. In the Central Highlands, this is creating problems for farmers in drying their coffee. In combination with the expected temperature increase, we may also see drastic effects on coffee production," said Don Jansen, Program Manager at the DE Foundation. UTZ Certified started operations in Vietnam in 2002. Today more than 27,000 farmers and 44,000 hectares of coffee-producing land in the country are UTZ certified.

Lance Tawzer has learned that the country's oldest existing intracity baseball rivalry often provokes strong opinions.
"If you live in Chicago, you tend to find yourself on one side of the fence or the other," said Tawzer, curator of the Elmhurst Historical Museum.
The museum's current exhibit, "Sox vs. Cubs: The Chicago Civil Wars," opened May 16 and runs through Sept. 28, to coincide with the baseball season. Several organizations have expressed interest in hosting the exhibit, he said, so it's likely to travel once its run has ended in Elmhurst.
In piecing together the exhibit, Tawzer interviewed former broadcasters, journalists, players and fans, specifically looking for fans with a family history of rooting for the Cubs or Sox.
"Occasionally, you will get a rebellious teenager who switches to spite parents," Tawzer said, adding that the legacy factor keeps most family members united behind one team.
Villa Park residents Don and Regina Enders and their daughter Darcy perused the display on a recent Sunday. Don Enders was a Cubs fan until 1970. He changed allegiances after the Cubs, who led the National League East for most of the 1969 season, were passed by the Mets, broke his heart and made him become a South Side supporter.
Regina Enders grew up in a house divided: Dad was a Cubs fan, mom, a Sox fan. The kids were split down the middle.
"I've always been a Sox fan because mom was," Regina Enders said. "When I saw this, I was like, 'We gotta go.' "
The exhibit features Cubs and Sox memorabilia and souvenirs — the kinds of things a fan might have brought home after visiting one of the ballparks, Tawzer said.
"We were looking for more of the true fan kind of things," he said.
One case features items from the "fan caves" of two diehard fans — one Sox, one Cubs — including bobbleheads, a banner, a jersey and old stadium seats.
What Tawzer finds most interesting is the amount of shared history between the teams. In 1918, the Cubs played the Boston Red Sox in the World Series, and the Chicago games were held at Comiskey Park because it could accommodate larger crowds.
Tawzer said there are perceptions about the socioeconomic status of each team's fans that at one time might have been true, but don't hold up today. Now, supporters of both teams can be found around the city and suburbs.
"Elmhurst is one of the rare communities that has an exact 50/50 split," Tawzer said.
Sox and Cubs players new to the rivalry might go into their annual crosstown series thinking it'll be light-hearted, but quickly learn the fans take it seriously, Tawzer said.
"I think that's really where the rivalry exists, in the fan base," he said.
Regina Enders said the interactive features of the exhibit, such as casting votes for the greatest players at each position and seeing it plotted on a graph, should interest younger viewers.
"I don't care how much baseball you think you know, there's going to be something here that'll catch you," she said.
Tawzer said he hopes the display gives fans of one team an appreciation for their rival, too.
"I think it's wonderful that it sparks the dialogue it does," he said. "From a cultural history standpoint, this is a big part of people's lives."
Sox fan Elizabeth Dziedzic of Chicago — from the South Side, "of course" — said she enjoys picking on Cubs fans, but the rivalry is fun.
"I think it's a part of Chicago and what Chicago is, and what baseball is to a Chicago fan," she said. "And what would summer be without baseball?"
If you go:
The Elmhurst Historical Museum, open 1-5 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday, is located at 120 E. Park Ave. in Elmhurst. Admission is free. For more information, call (630) 833-1457.

Ambühl wins JOI with triple cork 1440
Jon Olsson's annual big air invitational goes off in Are, Sweden
Elias Ambuhl won the Jon Olsson Invitational Saturday in Åre, Sweden, stomping a trio of triple cork 1440s in the finals to seal the win.
"It's kind of cool that you can get used to a trick that is so hard," said Ambuhl, who gave 60 percent of his $15,000 prize to Pekka Hyysalo, a Finnish freeskier recovering from a traumatic brain injury.
Ole Mustad came in second with a double cork 1260, and Andreas Hatveit's stylish double cork 1080 with an octo grab earned him third place.
Russ Henshaw became the first person to land a triple cork 1440 in competition during qualifiers earlier this week, but he couldn't land the trick in the finals and finished fourth. Alex Schlopy finished fifth, withdrawing from the finals after he injured himself attempting a triple cork 1980 on his first jump. Yes, you read that right: a 1980.
Consistency was the name of the game through the first three rounds, in which each rider had one jump and the lowest five out of 10 scorers were cut. Progression showed its face in the last round, where the best single score out of three jumps determined the winner.
Ambuhl, who led all riders in qualifying and jumped last in every round, nailed all three of his triples to dominate the finals. His second scored a 90, making him the contest winner even before his last jump. But it's not every day you get to session a 20-meter kicker with a soft landing, and Ambuhl took advantage of the situation to throw a triple cork 1440 mute, scoring a 95.
Mustad fell on a double cork 1440 and a double cork 1260, then landed the 1260 with a mute grab his last jump. "[I feel] really, really good," Mustad said. "I'm surprised I did that well, but it was a lot of fun."
Hatveit delivered a huge double cork 1080 octo on his first jump, and perfected the trick each time, getting the highest score on his final jump. "My strategy was just to try and stay clean," he said. "I'm stoked I'm third for sure."
Henshaw tried a triple cork 1440 in the first round, but couldn't stick the landing. After Schlopy benched himself, Henshaw played it safe in the second round with a double cork 1080. On his last attempt, Henshaw went for a triple but didn't have enough speed and crashed on his back.
McRea Williams landed a switch triple rodeo 1260 in qualifiers, and was hoping to add rotations to the trick tonight, but he sat out the finals after hurting himself in warm-ups.
Olsson competed in the big air, landing a pair of switch double cork 1260s, and put on his speed suit for the dual slalom alpine challenge. The Swedish team of Axel Back and Mattias Hargin won that event, while Olsson and his brother Hans finished fourth. Ted Ligety and other racers hit the big air during practice sessions.
"The first idea I had with events was to create a venue where people could learn new tricks," an exhausted Olsson said after the awards ceremony. "Seeing those triples made me feel really good about all the work that we put in."

BOZEMAN -- Caje Golden threw a five-hitter and the Billings Scarlets defeated Regina, Saskatchewan, 10-1 on Saturday at the Bozeman American Legion baseball tournament.
It was the first of two games for the Scarlets on Saturday. They later lost to Helena, 4-3.
The only run Golden surrendered came on a bases-loaded walk in the third inning. Otherwise, Golden struck out three and the Scarlets played error-free defense behind him.
Collin Maier went 3 for 3 with a double, and Jalen Garcia collected two hits for the Scarlets. Jake McGovern delivered a two-run double in the fourth.
Against Helena, the Scarlets led 3-1 late, but allowed three runs in the seventh and couldn't recover. Troy Arntson's two-run triple against Billings pitcher A.J. Smith was the catalyst for the Senators' comeback.
The Scarlets are now 23-13-1 overall. The Bozeman tournament continues through Monday.

One Direction Day
The 1D Day broadcast
Basically, the boys of One Direction recorded an eight-hour broadcast which was televised over the weekend. As well as Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik, Harry Styles and Liam Payne, special guests, including Celine Dion and Simon Cowell, were on the show, too. But if you haven't seen it yet, don't worry, you can watch the full video below. Or, if you can't spare the time to watch it all, here are the best moments.
Young love: Hot new couple? Harry Styles and Kendall Jenner >>
Lots of laughs
The guys did a hilarious re-enactment of the classic pottery scene from Ghost, Zayn met and had a blue steel-off with his doppelganger and Niall did a bum dance in a Hawthorn uniform.
Oh, and as if it wasn't clear what Niall was thinking about, he surprised us with this classic Freudian slip. He was supposed to say celebrity guests, not celebrity breasts.
1D Day dance moves
There was dancing, lots of dancing.
The boys love a good boogie.
And why not throw a bit of a shimmy in there, too, hey, Harry?
Swift diss: Taylor Swift has a potty mouth? >>
After the show wrapped up, an excited Louis posted on his Twitter: "Wow that really was amazing ! Thank you so much to everyone who watched :) special thanks to @benwinston and our saviour @scott_mills !"
Get comfy, get some popcorn and watch the full eight-hour broadcast here:

Instead of lemon try Tarragon vinager
I made this last night with "Greek Souzoukaklia" (from this site). It was the perfect compliment to the meat! I did have to make some changes- I didn't have anchovies,a nd I played with the fresh herbs a bit. It was wonderful!
I made only half of this, but because I only had a little fresh tarragon left, I had to use a part of the dried version. I also used 1/2 teaspoon of anchovy paste rather than the fillet. The first night I used it as a salad dressing, and it didn't go over that well. The next night I used it as it as written---a dip----and it was a good success! This will definitely be a repeat for company! Thanks for this recipe!

Change4Life is England's first ever national social marketing campaign to reduce obesity.
Launched in March 2009 by NHS Hull, Fit Fans is a free weight management service designed primarily for men aged 40 to 65 who want to lose weight.
The UpforIt project was funded by the Kirklees Partnership, which consists of internal stakeholders from Kirklees Council and NHS Kirklees. Using Communities for Health funding, the Partnership established a project in collaboration with The NSMC to halt the year-on-year rise in overweight and obesity levels among 16- to 24-year-olds attending further and higher education (FE and HE) institutions across Kirklees.
Vitality is a holistic health and wellbeing service for South West Essex, which supports individuals to improve their health by making simple lifestyle changes.
The service was developed as a result of a research exercise to understand barriers to quitting smoking. However, this research identified that residents did not want a service directed only at smoking cessation. Instead they wanted a lifestyle programme that integrated healthy eating, smoking cessation, exercise and alcohol advice.
In February 2008, Telford and Wrekin PCT and Telford and Wrekin Council launched a three-month campaign to increase levels of physical activity amongst children and their parents in Woodside, an area of deprivation with high levels of obesity.

With a trend towards social marketing increasingly being used to inform policy and development of strategy, the need for actionable research has never been more important. Here, I outline best practice to ensure that your research programmes can be put into action.
What do young people crossing railways safely, stopping smoking for October, voting for a country to join FIFA, not using accident and emergency services and enrolling more students on a course have in common?
The recent Behavioural Insights Team blog on getting more people to sign up for the Organ Donation Register got me thinking about two things:
I went to a fascinating presentation at a recent Chartered Institute of Marketing event ' How social marketing changed attitudes and behaviour towards the army in Afghanistan and the Church in Wales.

2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 is Designed for Downforce
November 30th, 2013
DETROIT – When it comes to keeping its tail on the track, the 2014 Camaro Z/28 manages airflow like few other production vehicles, generating downforce like a race car to press the tires against the track for high-speed stability and greater cornering capability.
Numerous modifications were made to the exterior, compared to the Camaro SS, with new and revised content developed to improve aerodynamics, powertrain cooling and brake-system cooling. They help the Z/28 produce 440 pounds more downforce at 150 mph, relative to the SS, which generates slight lift at that speed.
In fact, the aerodynamically optimized design helped the Camaro Z/28 log a lap on Germany's legendary Nürburgring road course that was four seconds faster than the Camaro ZL1's, and beat published times for the Porsche 911 Carrera S and the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640.

Effective Thursday, November 21, 2013, Chevrolet will temporarily suspend order processing for the 2014 Camaro ZL1 model and the SS Performance Package (RPO: 1LE) due to the effect of cold weather on the performance tires for these models. Again, it is only a temporary suspension that does not impact the Camaro LS, LT and SS models ordered without 1LE. Order processing for the 2014 Camaro ZL1 and the SS Performance Package (RPO: 1LE) will resume on Tuesday, February 11, 2014.

Chevrolet SEMA COPO Camaro for 2014
November 4th, 2013
LAS VEGAS – Chevrolet Performance's COPO Camaro program returns for 2014 with another limited run of factory-produced race cars and a pair of new racing engine choices. To purchase one of the exclusive models, potential customers must sign up for the COPO Camaro mailing list at chevroletperformance.com.
It is the third year for the COPO Camaro program and like the previous two, only 69 race cars will be built for NHRA Stock Eliminator and Super Stock competition. They will carry the distinctive, updated styling of the 2014 Camaro lineup, including new front and rear fascias.
Chevrolet Performance Cars at SEMA 2013
November 4th, 2013
2014 Camaro Z/28
There was no need to modify the all-new 2014 Camaro Z/28 for the SEMA Show – it's already a comprehensively engineered car that recently lapped Germany's challenging Nürburgring road course in 7:37.40 – on wet track conditions. It was four seconds faster than the Camaro ZL1, and beats published times for the Porsche 911 Carrera S and the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640.
In terms of lap times, the Z/28's improved speed comes from three areas:
Increased grip: The Z/28 is capable of 1.08 g in cornering acceleration, due to comprehensive chassis revisions
Increased stopping power: The Z/28 features Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes capable of 1.5 g in deceleration, and consistent brake feel lap after lap
Reduced curb weight: The naturally aspirated Z/28 weighs 300 pounds less than the supercharged Camaro ZL1, with changes ranging from lightweight wheels to thinner rear-window glass.
The heart of the Z/28 is the 7.0L LS7 engine. The LS7 uses lightweight, racing-proven, high-performance components, such as titanium intake valves and connecting rods, CNC-ported aluminum cylinder heads and a forged-steel crankshaft to help produce an SAE-certified 505 horsepower and 481 lb-ft of torque. Air-conditioning is available, but only as an option.
The Z/28 goes on sale next spring

I was duo queuing ranked with a friend and took Morgana mid. After a few minutes, while giving up no kills and winning farm, our taric starts whining at me about how my runes are all wrong and I don't know how to play Morgana. I have 1 generic AP runs set with flat AP and magic pen. I know that there are probably some better options for Morgana, but not to the extent where if I don't have her specific rune set I should never play her and automatically don't know how to use her. Am I crazy or was this guy just a know it all ******bag?
if you didnt feed hes just a troll that thinks he knows everything about LoL, i think that even if there are better rune options, the skill in playing is what makes the differencce at the end
Crazy Crann
Senior Member
The difference a rune set will do for you is ultimately very minimal if the skill gap between you and your opponent is as wide as this scenario would suggest. There are a lot of things that can impact the outcome of a game, including rune sets, but rune sets sit very, very low on the list.
SeCKS Egai
Runes are more preference than anything. If you weren't dying, there's little to complain about unless you were missing kills by lack of map awareness or something. She can farm well and can counter a lot of typical mids, and seeing her mid instead of support isn't unheard of whatsoever. By the breakdown, sounds like the Taric was upset he/she had to run support instead of mid.
for generic morg your runes are as expected, that taric has no idea what hes on about
There's nothing inherently wrong with flat AP & MPen, but Morg is rather mana hungry, so mana regen yellows are nice. Scaling AP blues are also good.

The Window Cleaner
A short muisc video based on the classic song "The Window Cleaner" sung by George Formby
4.39 / 5.00 6,373 ViewsUpdate 3 - 26/01/09 - The sequel has finished!!!
It won't be too long until the games been sponsored up and then it can go on newgrounds :)
P.S. - Whoever came up with the rage idea, well done, its in the game :P Nice one!
Update 2 - Work on the sequel has begun! It's gonna be much better than this one and alot harder! I'm hoping to have it finished some time soon. I've read loads of reviews and taken some good ideas from you all, thanks for all the nice comments too :)
Update 1 - Cursor fixed! Bugs fixed! Difficulty increased! Thanks for so many nice reviews :)
If you find any more bugs, please pm me on NG.
Choose from a range of 9 weapons and go mental on an army of evil bunnies that have broken out of a nearby research facility!
They're really angry after having they're tongues scraped and being cloned for scientific research n shit!
Take the role of Mr Frost, an inhabitant of a village taken siege by the evil army of bunnies!
Defend your house, upgrade your weapons, upgrade your house, even spread disease onto the little shits!!!
There are 50 levels packed full of 8 different types of bunny, ranging from suicide bombing bunnies to overweight pregnant bunnies that shoot pink squishy baby bunnies onto your house!!!
The game has taken a month and a bit to make, and is the first game I have released on NG.
I've included a couple extras for when you complete the game for a bit of replay value.
I hope you all enjoy it and rate it highly.
how do I see the description of it and also how do I see the price of the item?
I have to admit that looking back at all of the stuff you've done over the years, this looks dated. It is, however, still a decent game in its own right. I like when you get to shoot the bunnies in the butt. Anuses bleeding are funny. I think the graphics have actually stood up well. What you've really done better is position everything.
The protagonist looks a bit too small here. It seems to make less sense in a bunny apocalypse. The best part is probably how you get such accuracy with the gun. Then again, it's still fairly hard. I don't know why poop would cause a building to go down.
this game amy not have story like next ones but at least its entertaining and far more playable
LOVE it, i play this game since i have 11 xD, and people, in that year, it WAS special!, GO ON MR FROST

I like how the only ones defending this travesty of an elo system are the rioters who designed it or helped design
Senior Member
Junior Member
you should see my match history since this new system. its horrible. i have like 12 games and 3 out of those 12 games are wins. I keep getting paired with trolls left and right and afkers. Before this system honestly it only happened once every 10 games but now its happened 9 games in a row. I dont expect to win everygame but id like to win more than i lose!
Here's a question then for the Rioters. You have stated in the past that the matchmaking system is intended to try to match you with correct opponents and teammates, with the end result being a 50-50 W/L. Upon reaching an average of a 50% win rate, that's your true ELO where you'll find the most competitive matches for your skill level. A 50% W/L in the ELO system would basically have you not moving but yet no advancing until you honed your skills enough to reach a higher win rate to advance. Why is it then under the current system that you need a 65-70% win rate just to break even? A 50% W/L is met with demoting you and kicking you down the ladder where you have to climb back up, fighting through trolls and griefers, just to get back up to "where you belong" after nothing more than the occasional 2-3 game losing streak that we all get from time to time?
What none of you seem to understand is that the pool is very volatile right now. So many people are playing, and it's a new system, and the system is trying to coordinate where you're supposed to be. If you're gaining less LP per win than losing LP per loss, your MMR (Matchmaking Rating) is lower than your Division Ranking, thus it's trying to pull you back down to your MMR (the truer number of the two). As you win more and more (ie: get better at the game), you'll begin to earn more LP per win than you lose per loss. Then you'll move up just as swiftly as you're falling down now. Eventually, it will all even out. When that happens, you've found where you actually belong. (Until you get better or worse and start to move again).

Re: Trying to be prepared for the inevitable hurricane
All of the above! If you are lucky there is a hurricane hole you can move to.
A comment on chafing gear. You can buy chafing sleeve by the foot at the marine store. It isn't cheap. I buy two sizes so I can put the first directly over the line and then insert line that is covered by the first sleeve into the second sleeve. Doubling the sleeve is very effective. I secure both sleeves by sewing them in place to the lines at their ends and make sure they generously overlap the areas where they might chafe. I prepare both sets of lines this way. I build and have the second hurricane "harness" ready to go complete with its hardware so installation on the mooring is a straightforward task. The second line is longer and larger than my regular mooring line.
This is for our Islander 28 which has a bridal that is attached to two deck cleats.
We have a 15' Marshall cat that sits on a mooring, too and doesn't always get hauled for severe weather. It has a single deck cleat and I double its lines in a similar way. In addition to the lines on the Marshall I hang a long piece of heavy chain from the bow eye to the swivel on the mooring. I have reinforced the bow eye to handle this. The chain is a fail safe but really acts as a damper to reduce the motion of this smaller boat.
Mother Nature is in charge!
Islander-28, Marshall Sandpiper
