Companion series to the spring 2015 book club featuring "The Lost World of Genesis One: Ancient Cosmology and the Origins Debate" by John Walton.
James Kidder explains how a stunning fossil discovery affects our understanding of human evolution.
Jim Stump explores the meaning of the Lenten season from the perspective of evolutionary creation.
St. Thomas Aquinas helps us understand how the image of God in man might have developed through evolution.
In both form and content, then, Genesis 1 reveals that its basic purposes are religious and theological, not scientific or historical.
How does social context affect what Americans believe about science and religion, especially in regards to human origins? A new BioLogos-funded survey reveals the factors influencing the beliefs.
All creation is the doings of God's hands, no matter how he did it. When I look at a painting, I can connect somehow with the painter, and the same goes with the universe and God.
In science news this week, read about magical nose cells, 45,000 year old thigh bones, and the weirdest looking dinosaur ever.
If discussions of science and religion sometimes get bogged down in Genesis, perhaps that is because they have not made the preparatory journey through the rich material of the Wisdom books.
From science and religion blogs: quantum uncertainty and God, the remarkable fact that we have come to understand our place in the created order, and the role of theology in making wise choices about the use of technology.
We should celebrate the many times that our churches and colleges encourage scholarship. I saw several delegates at Synod stand up and speak directly about the importance of supporting scholars who engage the science and religion dialogue. The recent Synod decision was a move in the right direction.
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
The new Gallup survey shows in broad strokes the challenge we face. But more nuanced surveys find that only 8% of Americans are convinced creationists whose beliefs are dear to them, and only 4% are convinced atheistic evolutionists whose beliefs are dear to them. The vast majority of Americans are not sure of their position and are open to a conversation.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
This weeks in Origins news: studies of a skeleton uncovered in 2007 provide clues about rapid human evolution in the Americas, our climate and Christian stewardship, a few BioLogos folks give interviews, and some cool links to miscellaneous finds.
Would those genuinely interested in learning about evolution benefit from a careful explanation of why these common objections don't hold water? Here the answer seemed to me to be "yes."
What we do learn from scripture is that there is only one Creator and that there's a clear distinction between God and the created world. And that we who are created in the image of God are able to investigate a creation that is remarkably tuned for our discovery.

Tuna, Skipjack – Pole & troll (Katsuo)
Skipjack Tuna represent about half of the global tuna catch and are commonly sold as 'canned light' or 'chunk light'. They can spawn millions of eggs each year, grow fast, and have a high rate of population increase.
Although management measures are generally weak, Skipjack Tuna are common in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans. There is little bycatch associated with pole and line caught Skipjack Tuna, making it a better alternative to purse seine caught tuna.
This fish may have moderately high levels of mercury that could pose a health risk to adults and children. More info here about mercury in tuna. Check out our mercury in seafood section.

WholeFoods Magazine SourceBook: The Natural Products Directory
New York, NY—What connects a United Nations climate summit, protesters on Wall Street and a press release from an outfit called the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR)? The concept of climate-smart agriculture (CSA).
Shoppers can be picky about produce. A slightly bruised apple or misshapen tomato can sometimes be enough to let a perfectly good item go to waste. Vig's Health Food Store of Lewiston, ID, recently decided to do something about it by introducing the Imperfect Produce Bin. The store has deep roots in selling produce, though it is strong in supplements sales today.
Howard Wainer, founder and president of Wainer Finest Communications (publisher of WholeFoods Magazine) received the President's Award from the Natural Products Association (NPA) in Baltimore. Wainer received this honor for his long-term contributions to the natural products industry. He addressed the crowd in an awards ceremony at the tradeshow:
The Organic Trade Association (OTA), as part of its All Things Organic Conference Track, hosted a session at Expo East on the state of the organic industry. A panel of speakers provided updates on the National Organic Standards Board (NOSB), the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) and other issues. The panel included moderator Samuel Fromartz, editor in chief of the Food and Environment Reporting Network; Doug Crabtree, farmer and co-owner of Vilicus Farms; Anne Alonzo, administrator of the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service; Ken Cook, president of the Environmental Working Group and Laura Batcha, executive director and CEO of OTA.
Reports and key takeaways from Expo East 2014.
Some 23,000 natural products industry members convened at the 29th annual Natural Products Expo East, held September 17–20 at the Baltimore Convention Center. More than 1,275 exhibitors attended the show, and many product trends were evident at this year's event. Gluten-free foods, for instance, continue to be a hot commodity.
WholeFoods Magazine gave trophies to its 2014 Natural Choice Award Winners at Expo East.
The natural products industry has lost a generous and ambitious leader with the passing of Jeremy Thaler. Along with his wife, Connie Potter, Thaler founded Once Again Nut Butter in 1976, the culmination of a life dedicated to the concept of community on multiple levels.

Latest update : 2011-10-05
The "Occupy Wall Street" movement is gaining ground
The "Occupy Wall Street" movement is gaining ground. The web is playing a vital role in the US presidential campaign. And a group of Russian musicians perform on a motorway, from a moving side car.
Occupy Wall Street movement
Live coverage of the Occupy Wall Street protests against the unfairness of the global financial system… the demonstrators who have now spent over two weeks camping out in New York's financial district are providing a live feed of the protests over the Internet.
The movement, inspired by the Arab Spring, is being coordinated via social networks and gathers pace with every day that passes. As we can see on this interactive map which displays all the towns and cities where rallies are taking place, the movement has now spread right across America. Protesters are using the slogan "We are the 99%" to denounce the inequality in America where 1 % of the population holds 40 % of the country's wealth and resources.
On this blog Americans can vent their anger with a system they feel favours the rich and powerful. They can upload photos and share personal accounts. A lot of students have expressed their fears for the future as they have taken out loans to pay tuition fees but have no job prospects on the horizon.
And so students have decided to make their concerns heard. An appeal has been launched on social networks, calling for students in every university across the country, to take part in a walk out on Wednesday at midday, to leave their classrooms behind and join the protesters on the streets.
And so the « Occupy Wall Street » movement is stronger than ever, both on the streets and on the web, with more hard hitting operations due to take place over the next few days. Members of the hacker group Anonymous have threatened to attack New York's Stock Exchange on Monday.
Internet and the American presidential election
With a little over one year to go before the next American Presidential Election, the campaigning is already in full swing. And as was the case in 2008, the Internet is proving to be a vital tool for both Republicans and Democrats, to help them communicate with as many voters as possible.
YouTube and American news channel Fox News recently teamed up for a debate between the candidates for the Republican presidential nomination. The program went on for nearly two hours and is available to view, in its entirety, on the sharing site. Citizens played an active role by emailing in their questions for the various Republican candidates. Over 18 000 questions were sent in in total and as we can see in this infographic based on the words featured most frequently in web users questions, they were mainly centered around job opportunities and the role of the government.
President Obama has also taken part in a question and answer session, proving once again that the web features prominently in the campaigning. The session was organized in partnership with the social network for professionals, LinkedIn, last week. The candidate for his own succession said he wanted to discuss job creation and putting America back to work.
This strong online presence is an integral part of the American president's campaign for reelection next year. In April, he took part in a debate with web users at the Facebook headquarters to discuss, amongst other things, reducing national debt. Obama also seems to have understood the necessity of using the web to monitor and control his image and reputation. The site "Attack Watch" was launched not long ago to respond to criticism or verbal attacks from Republican candidates and commentators.
Adding high-tech terms to the French vocabulary
Brainstorming, bookcrossing, hotline, and also jailbreak … more and more English words and terms are now being employed in the French language. They do not really have an equivalent in French and have become more proliferate with the development of new technologies and social networks. With this mind, France's Ministry of Culture has also set up "Wiki LF" on which web users can suggest and vote on French translations of these English words, and so actively contribute to the enrichment of the French language.
Social network buzz
Nonciclopedia is the name of a satirical Italian website and is currently creating a buzz on social networks. This comical portal has been temporarily shut down whilst an Italian court considers a complaint lodged by the singer Vasco Rossi. He was not at all amused by the article devoted to him on the website and is suing Nonciclopedia for defamation. Web users however are furious with Vasco Rossi and are accusing him of infringing freedom of expression.
Video of the day
The person who filmed this video was driving along a motorway in Russia when he came across a group of young musicians positioned in a moving side car playing rock music! An unusual place to perform but it is very rock and roll. 22

Here at the Almanac, we love to cozy up with some good garden seed catalogs, especially in the winter months when we start planning for the upcoming gardening season. Here are some tips on ordering garden seeds:
Here are tips from The Old Farmer's Almanac on how to start your seeds indoors.
Planting native species is a surefire route to a stable, low-maintenance, carefree garden. Here are our best ideas for going native in the garden.
Drought is a pervasive problem in the United States and Canada. In addition, did you know that one-third of North America is either desert or high prairie, where water is in short supply?
Planning a landscape is an exercise in imagination. You need to think, dream, and ponder. What do you envision? What do you like and dislike?
If you're planning to store produce in a root cellar, here are tips to ensure to ensure that your fruits and vegetables survive storage.
Before refrigeration, the root cellar was an essential way to keep carrots, turnips, beets, parsnips, potatoes, and other root vegetables fresh through the winter months.

Eagles open Omaha tourney with win
By The Hays Daily News
OMAHA, Neb. — The Hays Senior Legion Eagles baseball team opened play Thursday in the Omaha Tournament with a 13-3, 5-inning victory against Anchorage, Alaska.
The Eagles scored four runs in the first, third and fifth innings, and one in the second on 12 total hits, but did have four errors.
Hayden Hutchison picked up the victory in five innings pitched. He gave up all three Anchorage runs (one earned) with seven strikeouts.
Offensively, Hutchison was 2 for 4 with three RBIs.
John Griffith had a good day, going 2 for 3 with a run scored and three RBIS. Griffith drove in his three runs with a bases-clearing triple in the first inning.
Chandler Rule also drove in a pair of runs, and Clayton Basgall finished 3 for 4 in the leadoff spot with three runs scored.
Hays (9-9) is scheduled for two games Friday. The Eagles will play Northfield at 3:30 p.m., then Omaha Benson at 6 p.m.

|Drew Goodman and George Frazier during the FSN days.
However, those committed fans are stuck, for better or for worse, with the broadcasters that the network and radio stations pick to describe the game for them. There is usually little common ground when it comes to a team's broadcasters, people either love them or hate them.
The Colorado Rockies are no different, there are plenty of opinions that abound about the guys and gals who become a part of every fans living room six to seven times per week. The Rockies have some extremely talented voices, along with some that have jobs in baseball for some unknown reason.
Jack Corrigan
On the radio side, Jack Corrigan has been calling baseball games in Colorado for the past 11 seasons. To say that he has seen some bad baseball is an understatement. He also broadcast Cleveland Indians games from 1985 to 2001.
Corrigan has a great voice for baseball. His understanding of the game is solid. His signature home run call "It's touch 'em all time" is good, but not great. However, his pace is perfect. He does a great job of explaining enough about the game, without getting boring. He is clear and concise. Overall, he is a very good radio broadcaster.
Jerry Schemmel
As good as Corrigan is, he has to spend half of his time compensating for Jerry Schemmel. The former basketball play-by-play guy came over to the Rockies in 2010 to great excitement. He was phenomenal in his years calling Nuggets games. He was descriptive with a fun pace to the game.
Baseball has proven not to be Schemmel's forte. He often seems disinterested in the game, and forgets to describe the all-too-important aspects of the game to the radio listener. Often times he will say phrases like "it's a hit to center field...and it's caught." To the fan listening on the radio, it sounded like the player got a base hit to center, so when the player catches the ball, it is confusing. He also over amps fans on too many occasions. Routine fly balls are often met with an excitement in his voice, leading a fan to think something besides a can-of-corn fly ball was hit. On several occasions Schemmel mis-reads fly balls. On more than one occasion he has called a pop-up with excitement saying "a drive to right-center field...and the second baseman will make the catch." Even the casual fan would be able to tell the difference between a drive to right-center and a pop up on the infield. His descriptions and pace are maddening.
Drew Goodman
The Rockies play-by-play man on the ROOT Sports side is simply one of the best in the business. Goodman doesn't make the common mistake of talking just to fill dead air. He describes the game very well and is always able to bring something insightful to the broadcast. One thing is clear with Goodman, he does his homework. His preparation shows during every game and he doesn't put it on cruise control. Even in a rough 2012 season in which most fans had tuned out, Goodman took his job seriously and brought his best effort every night. Rockies fans are lucky to have a guy who has the talent to be on the national stage in Denver full time.
George Frazier
George Frazier is the most polarizing figure on Rockies broadcasts. He has fans, and he has people who can't stand him. There is no in-between. For me, Frazier is extremely good. He does a great job of explaining what is going on inside a pitcher's head. He brings little tidbits of information that can teach a fan the details that make Major League Baseball special. For example, on Sunday Michael Cuddyer hit a home run on the first pitch of his 3rd inning at bat off of Rays starter Alex Cobb. Frazier pointed out that Cobb was making a slight adjustment with the grip on the ball when he would throw his sinker. He pointed out the slight movement in his glove was likely noticed by the Rockies hitters, allowing Cuddyer to tee-off on the first pitch.
Frazier doesn't overdo it. He doesn't take himself too seriously and seems like he understands that the average person watching knows a decent amount about baseball, but insight from someone who has played is valuable.
The critics of Frazier point to his annoying laugh and his seemingly lack of attention as reasons why the would like to see him go. The former pitcher can go a little overboard with his antics sometimes, but overall he is very good. His chemistry with Goodman works very well. It is evident that they are good friends.
Jeff Huson
The great debate is who is worse, Huson on TV or Schemmel on the radio. The honest answer is that it is a toss-up. Both are so terrible that they ruin the experience of watching or listening to the game. The issue with Schemmel is that his pace and style doesn't lend itself to radio. Huson's style only lends itself to those who have no ability to hear.
Huson is baffling. It is difficult to decide if his style is one that is trying to teach a six-year-old how to play the game, or if he takes himself too seriously. He will often simply repeat a statement that Goodman just made, but they way he says it, it comes across as a counter-argument. Many of his statements start with the word "and" and as he explains, his voice continues to sound more and more whiny. He can spend a full inning explaining how and why the grounds crew of a stadium will manicure an infield a certain way. If that isn't bad enough, the explanation comes immediately following Goodman explaining the exact same thing in one simple sentence.
Huson seems strained on the broadcast. It is easy to imagine that he is completely warn out after every game because he was so stressed about making the right points at the right time. There are no words to fully explain how terrible Jeff Huson is at color commentary on the TV side. It is hard to imagine that there aren't hundreds of far more talented TV broadcasters who would do a far better job than Huson could do on his best night.
For the most part, Rockies fans have at least one decent option on both the TV side and the radio side. The nights when Goodman and Frazier are in the booth together are easy for fans. On the radio side, the innings when Corrigan takes the play-by-play are far more enjoyable.
It will be interesting to see if any changes are made once the 2013 season concludes.

Orthodox Observer
Document Actions
An Orthodox Christian newspaper which delivers the message and work of the Church to people in America and around the world
8 East 79th Street, New York, NY 10075-0106

For almost seventy years the Orthodox Observer has been delivering the message and work of the Church to people in America and around the world. Archbishop Athenagoras established the Observer in 1934 as a monthly publication, and the first issue in its current format as a newspaper was published in October of 1971. Throughout its history, it has provided a wide range of news and information about the Church, its ministries, and the activities of its many communities to a readership that now exceeds 500,000.
True to its goals, the newspaper has become part of the life of Greek Orthodox faithful. It bridges the enormous distances between the numerous communities of the Archdiocese, reaches the unchurched, and helps nurture a Greek Orthodox identity among parishioners as it keeps them informed about a multitude of subjects. The Observer's bilingual content addresses and affirms this identity.
Each issue presents to readers current news and events from the Archdiocese, as well as from the Metropolises, parishes, ministries, and organizations. Standard sections focus on the ministry of the Ecumenical Patriarch and other Orthodox jurisdictions in America and around the world. Feature articles and columns provide spiritual guidance and theological insights. As the official newspaper of the Archdiocese, the Observer publishes encyclicals, statements, and policies as they are issued.
Through the years, the Observer has undergone many changes and improvements. One result has been the dramatic rise in its readership from a circulation of about 45,000 issues in the 70's to the current circulation of approximately 140,000.
A new effort to improve the cost effectiveness as well as the contents and the overall appearance of the Observer has been undertaken in recent years. The publication is produced entirely in-house, with substantial and immediate savings in its production costs and its overall cost to the Archdiocese. This also makes it possible to include in each issue more timely articles and news items, as well as high quality graphics and visual highlights.
In 2005, attention was given to updating the subscription database and mailing list. Further efforts will be focused on increasing advertising and sponsorship revenue to offset the costs of providing this ministry to the faithful of the Church in America.
The Orthodox Observer is also available on the web site of the Archdiocese (www.observer.goarch.org). Each issue is published in its entirety on the site as a PDF document (Adobe Acrobat) for viewing, downloading, or printing. Plans are progressing for the production of a complete electronic edition of the Observer that will be integrated with the current publication. This on-line version will be a virtual magazine providing Orthodox Christians with daily and weekly news and information.
Following the vision of His Eminence Archbishop Demetrios, the Orthodox Observer is striving to enhance the ministries of the Church, to edify the faithful, and to provide a regular source of information about Orthodox Christianity and the global scope and mission of the Orthodox Church. In this task the Observer will remain a vital means of communication and will continue to facilitate the unity and growth of the Church.

Well, I have to admit that I do that also when I hang out with my friends because they do it as well. I am not trying to justify my action.
So few days ago I met Anita, my former colleague. We had an interesting conversation about social media detox. Well, we actually talked about digital detox but I would narrow it down to social media detox. What? Social media detox? What is it all about?
Well, let me start by saying that gadget and social media is very addictive for some people, including myself. I have been actively using social media, e.g Friendster, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Path , since 2005 when I knew Friendster.com.
As time passed by, there are more and more interesting social media in the internet from hi5, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and now Path. The worse is the development of technology, especially smartphone and tablet which provide us with web-ready mobile phones and various of social media application. It makes me just want to check out what the latest news, gossip or whats going on with my friends on the social media.
But the question is do I really need those updates? Why do I need those updates?
I come to realize that since I have been using smartphone and addicted to social media, I no longer have a meaningful conversation with my friends and people around me. Even though, we are still hanging out together for lunch or dinner but we are just busy with our smartphone and check out what's on the social media. We don't really care why we are here together.
Other than that, social media creates a jealousy and makes people being mean ass toward their own friend without really knowing the truth. It also leads us to an ugly competition because of jealousy toward our own friend, simply because what we see in social media and people love to show off or share their experience or lifestyle in social media.
For instance "Oh how come she can get a Christian Louboutin shoes? What does she do? She must be a whore or slut. She must be a prostitute." or "O My God… doesn't she know that she is ugly? She shouldn't take that kind of selfie picture." Or Oh… She travelled to Paris. It must be her boyfriend financed it. This and that….
There are just so many negative comments from my head about other people's life, which I actually don't really know what is going on exactly and not one of them is our business.
So after having conversation with Anita, I decided to do a social media detox. But what is a social media detox? According to my understanding, social media detox is a therapy to remove our addiction to social media by turning off all social media account. Hence during my unpaid leave for my medication, I deactivated my Facebook, Twitter, singed out from path and deleted Instagram account. What? Delete? Yes, you read it right! I DELETE it. (Surely I would miss the silly comment of Indonesia's First Lady, Ibu Ani Yudhoyono, in Instagram who gets irritated easily with her follower comments)
Not just that, I also deleted those social media application from my Blackberry and iPhone as well as iPad. And. I start to go out with book to read; meet up with people to have a fruitful conversation about anything.
So now the question is what is the purpose of having smartphone then? I even have two. Well…. I still can use my smartphone for receiving email and sending email plus blogging. I love blogging, I have been blogging since 2005 even though it's not really general issue but more into personal matter but I enjoyed it anyway.
Other than that, I also can read other blogger's post, which can inspire me in so many different ways. Be it about life, fashion, business, traveling and also Hollywood gossip.
Beside that, I also have a new hobby now, which is watching YouTube channel. I have subscribed to some interesting channel such as CrashCourse, BrainCraft, It's Okay to Be Smart and also spacerip. When I get bored with all those scientific channel, I usually will watch my favorite singer vevo channel from Rihanna, Eminem, T.I, Tupac to Snoop Dogg.
I just have so much fun enjoying those YouTube channel. It really helps me to exercise my brain, entertain myself in different kind of way and enlarge my knowledge.
Meanwhile two weeks ago, I met my former editor. We had a very interesting conversation about life. She gave a very wise advice to turn off my social media accounts. Instead, I should read more books, newspaper and magazine to exercise my brains. She lent me a couple of Indonesia literature books, written by Umar Kayam and Leila Chudori. It was very kind of her
She also said to me "Look around you. Try to connect face to face with people, as much as you can. Look them in the eye when you talk to them. Do as much good as you can, when you can."
As I reflected to what she said to me, I think she is 100 percent correct. I look back into my life in these last couple of years, I just live my life in the gadget and social media, while I only hang around with small circle of people. But still we are being busy with our gadget, either reading email, chatting with instant messenger or fart around on social media while hang out with other people. We really have been disconnecting with real world and real life. We just live behind the screen.
The question is now being despite the fact technology/gadget has been helping our work efficiently, when will we get tired to use our gadget in our daily life and want to get back into out real life as social being? Will we be able to sit down together with other to have a meaningful conversation again without carrying our gadget and being busy with all those social media?
But wait…. the obstacles remain. Even though I enjoyed this whole social media detox for one week, as a media worker I actually really need to use social media, especially twitter to get myself aware of the current issue. It sucks when I don't get myself updated with the latest current issue and it's embarrassing.
I didn't even know when Anas Urbaningrum was arrested by KPK or I didn't even know that the Indonesian tycoon Bakrie Family invested their money on PATH. What? I usually get myself updated and know the latest information. So what should I do now? Should I activate my twitter and Facebook again? (Well I just did anyway because of work purpose. )
In the end of the day, it actually comes down to how we use social media. Doesn't it? It has been a week since I did social media detox. So should I get back to use so social media again but change how the way I use it? Or should I stay doing the social media detox? What do you think?
Perhaps next I will do digital detox? We'll see

We have just released a new feature that syncs Small Farm Central and Member Assembler mailing lists with MailChimp lists. This allows you to use our tools for CSA sign-up, accounting, etc. while using MailChimp's robust email marketing tools to send your weekly mailing lists, for example. Find this feature in your control panel under: Connect / Mailchimp Sync.
What is MailChimp?
MailChimp is a online mailing list service. MailChimp helps you design email newsletters, share them on social networks, integrate with services you already use, and track your results.
Why would you use it?
Small Farm Central offers mailing list tools with our website and Member Assembler products. Depending on your mailing list needs, you may want options that our basic mailing list tool does not provide. MailChimp is dedicated to great email marketing tools and provides additional features such as templates, statistics on how many people actually opened your email, and the ability to share your emails on social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook.
Small Farm Central has created a tool to allow you to sync your SFC generated lists, either user groups or Member Assembler member lists, with MailChimp. By combining these tools, you greatly expand the ways in which you can reach out to your members and other customers.
A basic MailChimp account is free of charge. As of this writing, the "Forever Free" account allows you to have up to 2000 people on your mailing lists and allows for 12,000 e-mails to be sent each month.
If you would need to expand beyond the 2000 subscribers, current plans start as low as $30 and these paid plans include unlimited emails.
A full Knowledge Base article can be found here.
I have been thinking a lot about how video can teach people about how to prepare good food and how video can be used as marketing for farms and CSAs. I came across the great video from Kitchen Vignettes. Not a single word is spoken. It is just video of harvesting, chopping, and packing sauerkraut. This is great! You can embed this on your site or send the link to people:

Here is the video:
We've heard from several of our customers who operate on Apple products that they have had a problem generating an Excel spreadsheet export of data in their admin: orders, members, invoices, etc. We believe we have corrected the issue and you should be able to generate exports now without issue. There will just be one extra step, however, when you open the file and that is to choose the delimiter: Just choose tab, not comma or semi-colon. Many of your notes and other fields in your data use commas so to get everything to line up in the right place, you need to select tab and only tab. Please let us know if you need any help with this or if you continue to have problems with exports.

(We've been doing a series of signature recipes from members of the Small Farm Central staff. See the staff page for the other signature recipes.)
Today's signature recipe is Shannon's Green Smoothie! Shannon is recently back from maternity leave after having baby Edith around the New Year.
Need a detox? Sometimes a cool smoothie, packed with mango & spinach, is just what the doctor orders. Plus, cramming in a serving of vegetables is always a plus! Just make sure you puree it a bunch, so it's nice & smooth!
1 cup frozen mango chunks
1 big handful of raw spinach
1/2 cup of water or milk
1 tablespoon sugar (or agave syrup. or a date.)
Throw all the ingredients into a blender and puree for a few minutes.
On Friday, March 15th, Small Farm Central and PASA held our first online CSA Expert Exchange with presentations by Elizabeth Henderson, Lynne Rossetto Kasper of Splendid Table, Gary Brever of Ploughshare Farm, Jody Bolluyt and Jean-Paul Courtens from Roxbury Farms and our very own Simon Huntley. We crammed a lot of material into a four-hour session. Overall the feedback has been extremely positive and we think it helped stimulate a lot of great conversations about the state of Community-Supported Agriculture in 2013. Here is some feedback we received from our post-conference survey:
"How useful was the CSA Expert Exchange? What was your overall impression of the event?"
On a scale of 1 (not useful) to 5 (very useful), 61% of respondents said it was very useful, with an overall rating of 4.44.
"Based on the price you paid for the conference, do you feel this was a good value?"
On a scale of 1 (not a good value) to 5 (very good value), 49% of respondents said it was a very good value, with an overall rating of 4.02.
"Do you feel the material was appropriate for your experience levels?"
Almost 89% of respondents said the material was "just right" with the remaining 11% saying the material was "too basic".
"Did you find the format of the online conference worked well? Did you have any problems?"
While there were a number of concerns and suggestions about how to improve the online format, 80% of respondents said that the "Format worked out well."
Based on this response, we will definitely be working on more online events in the future. We asked our attendees what format they would like future events to have – a multi-hour single day event, three one-hour evening sessions during the spring, or a series of one-hour sessions over the course of the year. While the majority of respondents (70%) said they would prefer the single day event, there was also significant support for the other options as well. We are currently a series of shorter one-hour sessions throughout the year along with a more comprehensive multi-hour event again next year in late-winter/early-spring.
Some topics that respondents wanted to hear more about included: how to select and purchase equipment, packing and distribution methods, marketing your CSA, hosting a successful on-farm member event, general workflow efficiency, and legal issues.
If you didn't attend this particular event but have feedback on what you'd like to see from future online seminars and conferences, please get in touch at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Member Assembler farmers and fishers, did you happen to notice a seemingly small addition to the top of every page in your Member Assembler control panel?
Go ahead and type all or part of one of your members' names or email address. Or try some text of a Member Assembler tool where you would like to navigate to like "payments" or "export". We built this to save you time in navigating around your control panel because we know how little time you are going to have, very soon!
It's the time of year when most CSA farmers are focused on signups and especially retention of past members. We want to remind you of a tool at your disposal if this is your second year or more with using Member Assembler. Under Member Assembler > Members > Renewals is a process to automatically send out renewal requests to a list of members already in your records who are not joined to the season you are currently administrating. We've just upgraded this so that now you can select one particular season's non-renewed members rather than all past seasons, which will be helpful to farms who have been with us for several years.
We get a lot of questions about the overall signup process for past members at this time of year, so here are some key points to refresh your memory:
1. If someone has had a membership or shared part of a membership with you while you've been using Member Assembler, they should click the "Returning member? Click here to continue" link at the beginning of the signup process. This will allow them to pre-populate all their contact information. If they try to go through as a new member, it will stall when they get to entering their contact information and say there is already a membership with that email address. One really nice thing about using the Renewals tool is that it takes them right to the point as if they'd logged in as a returning member.
2. For verification purposes, by default, an email is sent to the returning member for them to show that it is indeed the right person who is trying to renew for the new season. If you would rather skip this process and speed up the signup procedure for your returning folks, you can turn off that step at Member Assembler > Configure > Display Settings. Again, the Renewals tool makes this a moot point.
3. Lastly, there is sometimes confusion at this point as farmers add on new share types and options for the upcoming season, like say a cheese share, but some people have already signed up before it was available. In this case, your members, both new and returning, cannot use the regular signup process because they are already signed up. They'll have to add on shares using the Update Membership tool which should be shown as a link in your Membership Actions widget.
It's our most exciting time of the year right now getting all of our farms set for signing up their new season. We like to say it's our "August." Please don't hesitate to contact us for help with setting up your season as well!
There's a new CSA Farmer Discussion group forming on facebook after the CSA Expert Exchange conference. This a great way to connect with other farmers and I'd love to see this gain some traction so you can get advice from other farmers whenever questions come up, especially during the busy season when it is so much is going on!
There are 85 members now and there have already been some interesting discussions:

|Red Hat: 2012:1282-01: kernel-rt: Moderate Advisory
|Posted by Benjamin D. Thomas
Updated kernel-rt packages that fix one security issue, several bugs, and add enhancements are now available for Red Hat Enterprise MRG 2.2. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate [More...]
===================================================================== Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Moderate: kernel-rt security, bug fix, and enhancement update Advisory ID: RHSA-2012:1282-01 Product: Red Hat Enterprise MRG for RHEL-6 Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2012-1282.html Issue date: 2012-09-19 CVE Names: CVE-2012-4398 ===================================================================== 1. Summary: Updated kernel-rt packages that fix one security issue, several bugs, and add enhancements are now available for Red Hat Enterprise MRG 2.2. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the References section. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: MRG Realtime for RHEL 6 Server v.2 - noarch, x86_64 3. Description: The kernel-rt packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. This update fixes the following security issue: * It was found that a deadlock could occur in the Out of Memory (OOM) killer. A process could trigger this deadlock by consuming a large amount of memory, and then causing request_module() to be called. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service (excessive memory consumption). (CVE-2012-4398, Moderate) Red Hat would like to thank Tetsuo Handa for reporting this issue. The kernel-rt packages have been upgraded to upstream version 3.2, which provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version. (BZ#798421) This update also fixes various bugs and adds enhancements. Documentation for these changes will be available shortly from the Technical Notes document linked to in the References section. Users should upgrade to these updated kernel-rt packages, which correct this issue, fix these bugs, and add these enhancements. The system must be rebooted for this update to take effect. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied. This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/articles/11258 To install kernel packages manually, use "rpm -ivh [package]". Do not use "rpm -Uvh" as that will remove the running kernel binaries from your system. You may use "rpm -e" to remove old kernels after determining that the new kernel functions properly on your system. 5. Bugs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/): 725799 - diskless support for MRG 2.x 786083 - iptables unable to log to rsyslog 798421 - Rebase MRG RT kernel to 3.2-rtX series 798423 - InfiniBand stack refresh in MRG RT 799385 - Thread can dead lock in migrate timers 799386 - The futex proxy handler grabs the pi_lock without disabling interrupts 799389 - lglocks can be taken and never released on cpu offline and onlining 799391 - Tasks waiting on a state change of another task may get wrong result 799399 - ftrace_dump() can cause issues on RT 814689 - missing /proc/sys/crypto/fips_enabled in 3.2.14-rt24.22.el6rt.x86_64 causes openssh errors 815937 - 3.0.25-rt44.57.el6rt.x86_64 missing firmware rtl_nic/rtl8168e-2.fw 825344 - new mrg-rt-release sub-package [mrg2.2] 834583 - kernel-rt-3.2.20-rt32.44.el6rt.x86_64 floods the console with "DMAR [fault reason 02] Present bit in context entry is clear" 842680 - kernel 3.2.23-rt37.49.el6rt.x86_64 doesn't create symlinks to /lib/firmware/mrg-rt-firmware 853474 - CVE-2012-4398 kernel: request_module() OOM local DoS 6.

Rochester journalist missing in Syria over one month
Wednesday, January 2, 2013
BEIRUT — The family of a freelance journalist with Rochester and Lakes Region ties says he went missing in Syria more than one month ago while covering the civil war there.
During his last semester at Northwestern, James Foley spent time embedded with the Indiana National Guard in Iraq, spurring his interest in war reporting, according to his parents.
John Foley said his son later went to Afghanistan with the 101st Airborne Division.
He documented his travels on a blog, "A World of Troubles," which chronicled his experience beginning in February 2008.
In 2011, Foley was taken prisoner in Libya along with three other journalists by forces loyal to Moammar Gadhafi. He was working as a freelance contributor for the Boston-based news agency GlobalPost at the time.
According to his parents, James Foley has been a freelance journalist for about seven years. He also worked as a teacher with Teach for America in Phoenix, Ariz., and also dabbled in fiction writing.
Foster's reported in 2011, Foley went missing in Libya when he was detained by pro-Gaddafi forces on April 5. Foley said he was interested in getting into Libya following news of a rebel uprising and entered the country with relative ease via the Egyptian border. He quickly found himself in Benghazi.
Some days were spent in "Revolutionary Square," which Foley described as a "bombed out shell covered in anti-Gaddafi artwork." The square served as a media hub where journalists would gather to get information, share information and attend regular press conferences.
On other days he and fellow news gatherers would journey to the front line to view the action for themselves. Foley said it was typical to spend 5-6 hours talking to rebels, "trying to get a sense of what was going on," before heading back to Benghazi.
It was on one of these types of trips on April 5, that Foley was captured by Gaddafi-friendly forces and fellow journalist Anton Hammerl was shot and killed.
On May 18, 2011 the freelance journalists was released, making his way across the Tunisia border to safety with fellow journalist who was also captured, Clare Gillis.
"It's an amazing feeling of freedom to be in Tunisia. Just to be able to walk to a car and know that we're not going to another detention center or trial is a relief," James Foley told GlobalPost after he and Gillis were released.
