Giants, Lincecum look to hold on to WC spot
Phillies call on dependable rookie Buchanan in rubber match
Since a slew of brilliant starts toward the beginning of July, Tim Lincecum hasn't had his vintage touch. With the Giants a half-game ahead of the Pirates for the second National League Wild Card spot, Sunday afternoon at AT&T Park would be a perfect time for him to get it back.
San Francisco, which is just 3-7 over its last 10 games, saw flashes of the Lincecum who won back-to-back NL Cy Young Awards in 2008-09 during a four-game stretch that began with The Freak's second career no-hitter on June 25 against San Diego.
Lincecum allowed just one earned run over his next three starts, and went 4-0 with a microscopic 0.30 ERA (one earned runs in 30 1/3 innings). But in his last six appearances since July 20, he's posted an 0-3 record and an 8.39 ERA (23 ER in 24 2/3).
His latest outing against the Royals was rough -- six runs came across against Lincecum in his 3 1/3 innings -- during which the right-hander lasted only 41 pitches after barely 30 minutes.
"I didn't execute a lot of pitches I needed to in big spots," said Lincecum, who was touched for four runs in the first. "They feasted on me in the first inning."
As Lincecum tries to help the Giants claim Sunday's rubber match, Phillies rookie David Buchanan will be standing in his way. The right-hander is proving that he belongs in Philadelphia's 2015 rotation with each outing. His last time out represented the first time he's faced a Major League club for the second time, and the 25-year-old didn't disappoint. Buchanan went six innings and allowed three runs to tally his sixth big league quality start.
"Even though they've seen me, I still have to pitch my game and continue to hit spots and try to get them out," Buchanan said. "Just staying true to myself. Just because they've seen me once, that doesn't mean I have to change my game plan."
After posting 2-3 record and a 5.97 ERA in his first five starts, Buchanan is 4-3 with a 3.35 mark in seven starts since.
Phillies: Top prospect still sidelined with ankle sprain
Class A Advanced Clearwater shortstop J.P. Crawford has not played since Monday because of a sprained left ankle.
It is not believed to be serious. Crawford reportedly felt better Saturday and is day to day.
"I'm not sure how much longer it is going to take," Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said before Saturday's game against the Giants at AT&T Park. "We're not overly concerned."
Crawford is the No. 1 prospect in the organization. The 19-year-old is hitting .274 with four doubles, six home runs, 18 RBIs and a .743 OPS in 48 games with Clearwater since a midseason promotion from Class A Lakewood.
Giants: After gaffes, Blanco staying aggressive on bases
Gregor Blanco has made a handful of curious decisions on the basepaths in the last few weeks, and after two more costly miscues in the Giants' 5-3 loss on Friday night, manager Bruce Bochy had a meeting with his fastest bench player.
"I talked to him tonight," Bochy said after the game. "It's a fine line between being aggressive and being smart. He can be a very good baserunner. He's just got to keep his focus out there. These guys are trying to make something happen, and sometimes they probably push it too much. When he's going right, he's one of our better baserunners."
Worth noting
• The Giants have hit just four home runs in their past 11 games and 10 homers in their past 22 contests. San Francisco is 44-19 this season when they hit at least one home run.
• Since June 26, Phillies center fielder Ben Revere leads the Majors with 67 hits. He has multiple hits in 20 of 42 games over the stretch.

Consolidation breakdown
The East Quincy Service District (EQSD) and Quincy Community Service District (QCSD) have somehow found a way to snatch drama from the jaws of cooperation at the eleventh hour of their consolidation process.
In November all seemed to be well — the two district managers told the American Valley Community Service Authority (AVCSA) board, made up of the full EQSD and QCSD boards, they would work out a solution for sharing duties and deciding which of them should have the title of general manager.
Time passed and the proposal never materialized. In its place a firestorm of controversy arrived in March as the QCSD board voted at one of its meetings to endorse QCSD General Manager Larry Sullivan as a candidate for the new combined district.
After a closed session discussion on the matter, the vote passed 4-0, with director Kim Kraul absent. The closed session included the other four board members and their legal counsel; Sullivan was not present.
The fact that the individual board members supported Sullivan for the position was unlikely to be a surprise to anyone on the AVCSA board or either district's staff, but EQSD board president Howard Hughes responded to the action, upon reading the minutes of that QCSD meeting, by sending an email to QCSD board member Denny Churchill.
Hughes informed Churchill he felt the QCSD board made an error by formalizing its support for Sullivan and could be leaving itself open to litigation.
The resulting string of emails between the two board members eventually led to an EQSD board meeting Tuesday, March 22, soliciting comments on the consolidation from the district's employees, followed by what the agenda described as an "open discussion" among EQSD board members concerning consolidation issues.
Employees and public
The meeting began with EQSD employee Vicki Poh handing out a two-page letter explaining her vehement opposition to the consolidation.
Poh argued that the Quincy district showed a "complete lack of respect" for EQSD General Manager Mary Henrici since the consolidation process began.
She said the Quincy board taking action to endorse their manager while Mary was out on medical leave was hurtful and cruel.
Henrici appears to have been on medical leave from January through the end of March but her district has never discussed or mentioned that fact during public meetings.
Poh also said Henrici would be "gone as of June 30," the day before the consolidation of the two districts is scheduled to take place.
Poh added that the Quincy district seemed to want a "hostile takeover" of the East Quincy district, as opposed to an "amicable merger."
QCSD employee Mike Green, who is a resident and customer of the East Quincy district, disagreed with Poh's characterization.
"I don't know why you think we're trying to take over this district. This is my district. I pay the bills over here too. Most of the people here help pay these bills," he emphasized, pointing to several other QCSD employees who live in the East Quincy district.
"I don't know why it's become us against you. It shouldn't be. It should be all of us taking care of our customers, and by having a larger base of people to do that it's better for the customer."
Kraul also spoke briefly about the consolidation at this point, before quickly leaving the meeting, saying she didn't want to get in the way of the East Quincy board's discussion.
"I think the future holds so many issues for us. We all know about the state mandates coming down, the lack of funds that our community has.
"I wasn't at this meeting in February unfortunately, but I too might have voted for what we perceived as an endorsement of Larry to be strongly considered for that position, not that he had to be that person.
"My belief is personally that we need to be one district and that's the most efficient thing for our rate payers, and they are — after all — our bottom line."
QCSD employee Jacqui Harris agreed, pointing out she was also an EQSD ratepayer and arguing, "In the last 15 years each district has spent over $100,000 towards consolidation."
"I'd sure hate to see all that money wasted," she concluded.
EQSD customer Dorothy Green asked for clarification on Poh's comment about Henrici leaving at the end of June.
Hughes said, "We do not know any of those details at this time," adding, "Her rights would be violated if we discussed them in a public forum."
At this point, Poh responded to some of the other comments, saying she didn't think the consolidation would save any money and, if it continued, "I will be giving serious thought to seeking other employment."
Another EQSD employee, Kevin Andrews, agreed, "As far as pursuing any consolidation, I won't have any part of it. If it goes through I'll be walking."
Board members
After hearing public and employee comments, the board members took turns explaining their stances on consolidation.
EQSD board member Greg Margason said he went to the next QCSD meeting after "the controversial minutes came out."
Margason felt the Quincy board members were "very sorry for what they had done and the way they had done it." The director said he believed the QCSD board's action wasn't ill intended. "All of us realize that both sides of the hill were looking with favor on our own manager." He said the Quincy directors now realized they chose "a little inopportune time and method of saying that."
Addressing consolidation itself he added that he could remember when the sewage treatment plant was first built: "I was very glad to see they had the foresight to size it big enough to handle this whole valley, not just Quincy."
Margason said the East Quincy versus Quincy divide was even bigger then and "that was a big step in those days." He said the spirit of that move should be followed to its logical conclusion. "This is a small area and just the idea of having two special service districts is really just a little over the top to me."
He said changing regulations would force the valley to take another big step soon: replacing the old plant. "With the combined numbers you will be in a much better position to get grants, loans, whatever it takes to operate from now on."
EQSD director Bill Peay said he agreed with many of those points.
"I think I want to go forward. I think I want consolidation to happen."
Director Ernie Eaton wasn't so sure. He said he joined the board after discussions of consolidation began.
He said the East Quincy district gave QCSD almost $2 million, 18 years ago, when it bought into the current plant.
Eaton added the funding was supposed to be used for plant upgrades to handle more capacity, but he later found out it was used for plant maintenance instead, which left a bad taste in his mouth.
"I'm not sure that there is a benefit financially to a consolidation and I think that the staffs of the two districts, work together and have no problems," he concluded.
EQSD Director Steve Grant said consolidation might happen eventually but he thought the process should slow down for now. He agreed with Eaton that he felt uneasy about the use of those funds.
Conversely, he said, in a way by buying into the plant "we consolidated at that time actually," although he said that might have been a mistake.
At this point, EQSD customer Frank Green responded that he thought resisting consolidation was like sticking one's head in the sand because one way or another money from East Quincy customers was going to pay for work needed at the plant because they had no other option, as it was the only sewage facility around.
"I think you've got to look further down the road, not just today or tomorrow. You've got to look down the road a few years. What's the future of this community and how far is it going to expand?" he added.
Hughes speaks
EQSD board chairman Howard Hughes said a lot of controversy came out of the email he sent to Churchill, which was intended to be a message from one friend to another, and not meant to represent the views of the whole district.
Harris asked him if that meant he was threatening to sue the Quincy district when he mentioned litigation in the email.
Hughes told her he was trying to warn Churchill he thought Henrici might have recourse for a lawsuit claiming the QCSD board discriminated against her by endorsing Sullivan.
The director reasoned that the Quincy board members would play a part in hiring the new district's manager and so they shouldn't have voiced their preference before seeing both candidates' resumes.
Harris reminded Hughes he stated in a previous meeting that if the combined board voted on the manager issue it would likely be deadlocked 5-5 and asked him how that was different.
Hughes said that was different than endorsing a candidate.
Harris asked him if Henrici turned in a resume for the new manager position and Hughes told her she went out on leave in December around the same time she was asked for a resume.
He said no one turned in a resume yet, as the job wasn't posted.
Harris asked how someone could be discriminated against if there weren't any candidates for the job yet.
Hughes responded that the districts promised they would keep both managers so they were the only two candidates for the job.
"That was a mistake" Peay opined, with Hughes answering, "It may have been."
Hughes argued the four board members who voted as part of the QCSD board were also members of the AVCSA board and by endorsing a candidate for a position they might help hire for they were breaking the law.
Mike Green disagreed, saying the board members were speaking for the Quincy district, not the full AVCSA board.
Howard said they were still members of the larger board and he thought it was illegal for them to give support to a candidate before a hiring was made.
Harris asked what the two boards could do to address Hughes's concerns.
Hughes said Plumas Local Agency Formation Commission Executive Director John Benoit told him mediation or selecting a manager from outside both districts were options.
"I'm going to continue and look and see what the options are, how to make this right," he added.
The chairman said the districts should continue to collaborate no matter what happened but "at this point in time I can't support the consolidation based on the discrimination factor."
"I don't care who you are, if you're going to discriminate against people you shouldn't lead. If those four people want to go 'hey we're not going to be part of this process anymore' then great, I'm about that."
"If they want to recuse themselves and say 'you know what, you're right, we shouldn't have done that, we're gonna step back and let the other six people make a decision on where we're going to go,' great, maybe that's the answer."

I consider this to be a dead project.
It still requires XP drivers.
Phoronix: NDISwrapper 1.58 Now Runs On Newer Kernels
NDISwrapper, the open-source project that implements the Microsoft Windows kernel API and NDIS API within Linux for running Windows wireless network card drivers on Linux, has been updated. This effectively native Windows WiFi network driver project for Linux now runs on new kernels, up to and including the brand new Linux 3.8 kernel. This is the first release from the project in more than one year...
I consider this to be a dead project.
It still requires XP drivers.
What hardware still needs ndiswrapper to run on linux?
I use ndiswrapper for AVM USB WLAN 54 mbit. 300 mbit has native drivers. I patched that driver for long time with that patch:
It was in my package and in the one from Ubuntu as they copied my code. Without ndiswrapper is broken for kernel 3.0 to 3.4.Code:--- a/utils/ndiswrapper +++ b/utils/ndiswrapper @@ -55,7 +55,7 @@ my $modconf; if (`uname -r` =~ /(\d+)\.(\d+)\.(\d+)/) { - if ($2 > 4) { + if (($2 > 4) || ($1 > 2)) { if (-d "/etc/modprobe.d") { $modconf = "/etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper.conf"; } else {
Doesn't support NDIS6 drivers, and most 64bit wifi drivers for Windows are now NDIS6 only. Some are even only available in NDIS6.20 and 6.30 versions.
Pretty much useless at this point.
Many WiMax cards out there which did not provide Linux support. If somebody make it compatible with them then that would be great. Last time I check with Ubuntu 10.04 to use wimax usb dongle with ndiswrappe. Driver seems to installed ok but when I plug the device kernel got a stack overflow and PC freezes.
Maybe you need to patch your kernel. For ipw you needed to do that as well when you wanted to use ndiswrapper.
I don't have one of those devices so i can't say for myself but linux wifi drivers have come a very long way since Ubuntu 10.04, that distro is nearing 3 years old at this point which is pretty ancient in linux terms.
I personally haven't had the need to use ndiswrapper for myself or anyone else in about 4 years. It always made me wonder why ndiswrapper was pretty much the only program of its kind, that I'm aware of. On the other hand, video drivers are the only kind that linux really struggles with.
One of my PCs has an old rt2500-based wifi card. Basically, the open-source driver sucks. The development-forum of these ralink cards (which was basically run by just one person) is in "deep sleep"; this chip had problems since about kernel 2.6.30. A lot of people stated that it wasn't working and tried to help the developer but he never seemed to take this thing seriously (maybe because it's the only chip of its series that doesn't work well).
Thanks to ndiswrapper , I didn't have to buy another wifi card.

November 19, 2014
Feels good off the face BUT
I don't feel that this club hits any farther than my R11. The accuracy is little worse than my R11, I wasn't sure where the ball was going when I hit it. I may keep trying it when spring comes but not giving up my R11 just yet or ever.

I ordered this knowing I wasn't getting anything high end, I just wanted a second laptop to have around for surfing the web and checking email. This is good for that but was not without problems. First, this was originally a VISTA operating system that had WINDOWS 7 installed. There were a few glitches because of that and a few settings had to be changed. I also had to change one BIOS setting to prevent the machine from ever hybernating and/or moving to the secondary battery source (as a busness machine it comes with this option but I only use one battery). Also, the power cord was faulty and I only discovered this when the battery refused to charge, I used the cord from an old HP laptop I has laying around and everything worked fine. So boo for that waste of money. From the same old HP laptop I had laying around I pulled out some RAM and installed it in this one (it comes with 2 gigs but that isn't really enough for WIN 7) so things work pretty well now. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone unless they knew a bit about computers and felt comfortable messing around with it. For me it was a project,I liked the basic form and was ok with cannabalizing my brokend down machines to get this one up to par. It's my daily mess-around laptop now and I won't be installing too much beyond what I need to use google, fb, email, etc.
Delivery was as advertised and good for a no-cost shipment. Battery seems to run down noticeably faster than for a new PC, but this isn't a new PC, refurbished, and battery life is acceptable. No manuals were included. It would have been helpful for at least a xeroxed copy of the applicable manual to be packed with the PC. No loaded software was advertised or provided. The user will want to plan on at least downloading a set of basic free oficeware and virus protection. Bought and downloaded a good virus program and has already saved my PC in just one month.
It looked like a brand new one. Uploaded windows 7 home premium and works like a charm
the computer works very well, very happy, computer does everything that I hoped for.
Very dissapointed in this purchese. The laptop died 2-3 days after I received it. Would not recommend purchasing a refurb. Overstock did refund the purchase price which i appreciate.
well i bought the pc and the first problem i had was shipping it took forever, then when i got the pc it worked great for my games for about 2 days then the games started running worse and worse determained that the ram must have burnt out so now i have to spend money to upgrade it. this pc is okay for the price but with a factory refurb if something works have decent they dont care so u never know what your getting
Couldn't even get past the start up screen when setting up. Returned immediately. Beware of overstock's refurbished laptops in general. I went through 3!

File: wm
Women aged 15-49
Source of information
The eligible woman selected for interview
Value | Category |
97 | Inconsistent |
99 | Missing |
Warning: these figures indicate the number of cases found in the data file. They cannot be interpreted as summary statistics
of the population of interest.
Literal question
What was the date of your first birth? I mean the very first time you gave birth, even if the child is no longer living, or whose father is not your current partner.
Skip to CM3 only if year of first birth is given. Otherwise, continue with CM2B.
Interviewer instructions
You need to obtain the year of the woman's first birth, which means the very first time she gave birth, even if the child is no longer living, or is the child of a partner other than her current one. As with all questions about dates and ages, you may need to probe to obtain the best information. Ask for the child's date of birth. If she knows the exact birth date, enter the day, month and year of birth on the lines provided and continue to CM3. You will have to convert the month to a number, as you have been instructed. If the month or day contains only one digit, use a zero to fill in the first space. For example, the month of March is coded as '03'. If she does not know the exact birth date, ask her the day, month and year separately. Enter the information as provided. If she does not know the day, circle '98'. If she can give the month of birth, convert it to a number and enter it on the line provided. If she cannot give the month, probe to try to estimate the month. If you cannot estimate the child's month of birth from this information, you may need to find out in which season he/she was born. If it is still not possible to estimate the child's month of birth, circle '98' in the space for month of birth. If the she can give a year of birth, write it in the space provided and continue to CM3. If she cannot give the year of the birth, circle '9998' and go to CM2B.

A gamble that rewards for years
A gamble that rewards for years
While dairy judging seems like a gamble, with dedication and practice the experience offers many rewards.
by Chelsey Johnson, Hoard's Dairyman Editorial Intern
For decades, youth have exercised critical thinking and decision-making skills through participating in dairy cattle judging. While hundreds of youth step onto the shavings and mark their cards, a few individuals have the luxury of saying they were a national champion. I took a moment during Expo to visit with a handful of these individuals.
Curtis Day won the National 4-H Contest in 1960. After his 4-H career, he worked as a dairy farmer, a classifier and for the postal service. When asked how he felt before he heard the results on the day he won the National 4-H Contest he responded, "Dairy judging is like playing the tables in Vegas. If you are happy about how you did, all you can do is wait for the answers."
While sometimes a little bit of luck might be just the ingredient needed to win a contest, all of the contest winners I visited also put forth a great deal of hard work and dedication to improving. They all agreed that unlike gambling, dairy judging offers rewards regardless of the outcome of a contest.
Luke Olson, now a district sales representative for Semex, won the National Collegiate Contest in 2006 while judging for the University of Minnesota.
"Winning the national contest has given me credibility when discussing cows and in my career," explained Olson.
Today, Olson uses the knowledge he gained from dairy judging as a judge at several shows. Most notably, he has judged the Olmsted District Show, the Minnesota State 4-H Colored Breed Show and served as an official for the National 4-H Contest this year. His goal is to someday be a judge at World Dairy Expo.
"Pay attention to good judges, watch shows, ask questions and learn from your elders," advised Olson to youth looking to improve their judging. "I owe my eye for cattle to my father. Being competitive with my sisters over the years also helped me."
Laurie Winkelman is one of only four individuals who earned high individual honors in both the 4-H (2000) and Collegiate (2002) national contests. Today she works as a dairy nutritionist for VitaPlus. Winkelman noted that the ability to give oral reasons and defend information in a logical and organized way has helped her throughout life and her career.
"Both years I won, I kept a list of terms and phrases for reasons. I would add phrases I wanted to try and make note of phases to avoid," explained Winkelman. "I also set high goals for myself each year."
Brian Behnke won the contest while hes was a student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, in 1988. Today he is working as a sire analyst for Semex. He attributes his ability to stand up in front of people, defend a decision and think on his feet to the years he spent dairy judging. Behnke says the biggest advice he can provide students preparing for the national contest, is practice makes perfect.
"Dairy judging involves a lot of team practices, but to get better, you must also work on things individually," said Behnke. "We used to video tape our reasons. If you are honest with yourself and critique yourself, you can see many things to work on. I used to get tongue tied, so I did many exercises to control my voice during reasons."
These individuals would all agree, that dairy judging opened many doors for them. After winning the 4-H contest, Curtis Day traveled to judge in Europe. He values the memory of shaking hands with Queen Elizabeth's mother after winning the European contest. Even 52 years since Day won the National 4-H Contest, he is still using his dairy judging talents. On Thursday, he judged the International Brown Swiss Show at World Dairy Expo. Later this year, he will travel to Australia to judge.
As you can see, practice has set these judges up for success.

Back to school season is here and people are thinking about what they can add to lunch boxes that is new and different! Sept 9th is when the boys start so I still have plenty of time to be thinking of what I can be making them! I did create a very simple sandwich that I can use, though I had to test it first to make sure the avocado will keep for a few hours. I made it for the whole family for lunch to taste test it out with them, and they all loved it. I actually like how filling it is and will probably be making it more for myself.
Turkey Cheese & Avocado Sandwich
Ingredients 2 slices of bread 1/2 avocado 1 slice of KRAFT Singles 3 - 4 pieces of OSCAR MAYER CARVING BOARD Oven Roasted Turkey Breast
SLICE the avocado.
LAYER the KRAFT SINGLES cheese slices on one slice of bread, then your OSCAR MAYER CARVING BOARD Oven Roasted Turkey Breast, last but not least your avocado slices.
PLACE other bread slice on top.
I know, super simple! But I want to keep it simple for the mornings because it's a lot to get two boys ready and out the door! This year I'll have to be making Landon something for snack as well since he'll be going to Pre-K. I also made this with smoked salmon instead of the turkey breast and it was amazing! I may even end up doing OSCAR MAYER Bacon instead of the turkey breast. I can cook up a whole batch in the oven at once and keep them in the fridge to use for sandwiches. The possibilities are endless. Need more inspiration for Sandwich Recipes? Kraft has you covered!

Anyone have insight to why special functionality is needed? What is stopping the compositor from managing individual window size, since it already controls the chrome, such that if you size a window to 0x0 it is minimized, and the compositor can implement maximize and fullscreen to just give the application the desktop-chromed max window size and a borderless full screen window?
It just seems like it is a sound abstraction to consider a window that percieves its draw area as 0x0 pixels as being hidden or otherwise minimized, and I don't see many applications that need to care how big its window is relative to the desktop (it just needs to be alerted to size changes to reorient contents).

Not as much as you'd think. Maybe one or two blows of the tank at most, and a lot of hard work pumping it back up again.

Associate Orchestra: Aurora
New Moves 2014
The Aurora Story
For an ensemble that is still a year away from its own tenth birthday, Aurora Orchestra has lost no time in making a name for itself, bringing an unrivalled blend of youthful energy, outstanding musicianship and adventurous, ambitious programming to each concert.
Founded in 2005 by Principal Conductor Nicholas Collon, the ensemble was formed out of a simple desire to play together. 'There was absolutely no real thought about the long-term,' Collon explains, 'we just knew we wanted to be an orchestra'. Yet just eight years on, Aurora is one of the most celebrated young ensembles in London, and in 2011 became the youngest ever recipient of the Royal Philharmonic Society's Ensemble Award. As LSO St Luke's Associate Orchestra, Aurora benefit from a close relationship with the LSO. The Orchestra has won a crowd of followers – both classical aficionados and new recruits – through its innovative, imaginative programmes and one-of-a-kind cross-arts collaborations. Previous New Moves concerts at LSO St Luke's have featured everything from breakdance, tango and capoeira to film and experimental theatre.
'A fabulous young chamber orchestra that in six years of existence has emerged as one of the most dynamic, innovative and open-minded groups of its kind.'
Daily Telegraph, 2011
LSO St Luke's is delighted to be working with Aurora Orchestra in this artistic residency.

Been riding Conti Sprinters for 20 years, finally got interested in their top-of-the-line Competition tires when I got a good deal. They're awesome. Helped me get my best average. And they look, dare I say, "sexy". Suggest getting the thinnest/lightest 19cc tires instead of 22 or 25, if you're going to spend good money on it.

Have over 400 mi on the tire w/o any problems and it still look brand new. I ride in NYC streets and bike trails. Very good grip in wet conditions. 105 psi on front and 115 psi on rear. I also put 2 oz of tire sealant into the tire. Extremely difficult to put on following manufacturer's instructions otherwise 5 stars.
10 July 2014 by JYC
Conti tires are great and the ones I received were also. These seemed a bit easier to get on a rim right out of the box as I know they don't want you stretching them.

A Double Win for Fresh Food
Detroit is home to the longest-running public farmers' market in the country, as well as to many low-income residents who receive government aid in purchasing food. But until recently, those worlds didn't really meet: of $361 million in SNAP benefits (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly known as food stamps) spent in the city in 2010, less than $200,000 went to farmers' markets.
A new program is working to close the gap, in Detroit and beyond: to increase access to fresh, healthy food for low-income residents of inner cities and "food deserts" while simultaneously strengthening the local economy and improving the livelihoods of farmers and rural communities.
The program, called Double Up Food Bucks (DUFB), is a project of the nonprofit Fair Food Network. It's a simple idea: SNAP shoppers use their benefits at a participating farmers' market and receive tokens for an equal amount to purchase any Michigan-grown fruit or vegetable at the market. In effect, food dollars spent at farmers' markets are doubled, up to $20 per market day. By spending $20 of SNAP benefits at the farmers' market, the shopper comes home with $40 worth of healthy, fresh, regionally grown produce.
Food for Everyone
YES! Magazine's special issue: how to grow a local food revolution.
The program started as a pilot project in Detroit, but it's now gone statewide, allowing Michigan residents to double the value of their SNAP purchases at 55 farmers' markets. Since the 2011 program season started on June 1, more than 22,000 people have taken advantage of it—one-third of them using their SNAP benefits at a farmers' market for the first time ever, creating an entirely new cadre of shoppers at the markets and supporters of the local food economy. Shoppers have already used $350,938 of SNAP benefits at these markets and have received $311,076 in DUFB matching tokens—more than tripling the SNAP income of farmers' markets the year before.
Thus far, the Fair Food Network has supported the program almost exclusively with philanthropic dollars (including support from over 30 local and national foundations and corporations, particularly George Soros' Open Society, which chose DUFB to be beneficiary of their Special Fund for Poverty Alleviation).
But DUFB has demonstrated the feasibility and effectiveness of using incentives to encourage lower income families to purchase healthier food and support the local food economy and farmers. As we create our food and farm policy for the future with the reauthorization of the Farm Bill in 2012, we have an opportunity to provide public funding for this very successful approach to nutrition and rural economic development.

Detroit entrepreneurs are learning to rely on each other, finding the seeds of a new economy in resources discarded by corporate America.

"I'm happy I don't have to date anyone," she told Cosmopolitan. "I was like, 'I'm so happy I'm married, because you guys are cruel!' "
"I'll literally look at him and be like "You are hot, dear god!" The other day, I turned on the pool heater and it was steaming, and he walked outside and took off his clothes and jumped in the pool. I was like, 'I'm gonna faint--the hottest guy of my life is in a steaming pool. This looks like a Playgirl shoot.' So I took a photo and made it the background on my phone. My best friend grabbed my phone and was like, "Who's that? He is so hot!" That's my hubby!," she said.
Hemsworth's agent told People that the knot remains untied, but we remain skeptical as Cyrus also made reference to wanting a quiet wedding in the interview.
"I can't even get coffee without a million paparazzi following me, so I don't know why anyone thinks I'm going to have this huge, extravagant wedding. That is so not who I am," she told Cosmopolitan.
Do you think they got married?

Healthgrades Quality Ratings
Healthgrades quality ratings tell you how well patients fared during their hospital stay in terms of mortality, complications, and other quality measures.
Healthgrades objectively evaluates hospital quality by measuring the actual and predicted number of patients who experienced complications or died during their hospital stay for a specific procedure or treatment.
Healthgrades designates hospitals with 5 stars (better than expected), 3 stars (as expected), or 1 star (worse than expected) based on their performance in specific conditions and procedures.
Your risk of complications and death from your treatment can be significantly lower at hospitals with a 5-star rating for the specific condition or procedure.
If you need medical care in one of the procedures or conditions we rate, consider a hospital with a 5-star rating for the specific care that you need.
Five minutes with this information could save your life. Taking the time to carefully review a hospital's performance is critical to your health—statistics show that it can mean the difference between life and death.
Before choosing a hospital, think carefully about the services you might need and do your research.

text: after some of the other forum members suggested libreoffice was crap and calligra was so superior, I figured I'd give it a shot, especially considering I'm a KDE user so I wouldn't have too many dependencies. All i have to say is for a 20 year old project, I'm not impressed. calligra shines in some aspects that libreoffice doesn't, but calligra is heavily outnumbered by libreoffice's benefits. What I would have to say though is whatever LO doesn't do, calligra might make up for it.

Reviews for Makeover Apple Bread
Sort By :
"Very yummy! I also added extra applesauce, and used butter instead of oil. I also added a little allspice, nutmeg and cloves. Thanks for sharing!!"
"I made this recipe with early apples (more tart) from my grandpa's orchard and it turned out wonderful! I took it to work and everyone asked me for the recipe! !!"
"This was fantastic! I did wind up adding more applesauce because the batter seemed dry."
"Like others suggested, I used 1 cup of unsweetened applesauce and added 1 cup of mashed banana and more cinnamon & vanilla (personal preference). Omitted topping but sprinkled mini chocolate chips on top -- might add to batter next time! Preferred this to the first one which I made by directions -- good but not as moist!"
"I used Splenda in place of the sugar to lower the calories and doubled the apple sauce to increase the moisture. It was wonderful and will be my go-to recipe for left over apples!"

Above USDA Headquarters: Bees Are Abuzzing
The People's Garden Apiary located on the roof of the Jamie L. Whitten Building at USDA Headquarters in Washington, DC is home to approximately 40,000 Italian honey bees. You can #USDABeeWatch any day of the week by tuning into our live bee cam.
The activities of a colony vary with the seasons. Join the conversation about bees and other pollinators by using hashtag #USDABeeWatch.
About The People's Garden Apiary
The first beehive was installed on Earth Day in 2010 and a second hive was later added in 2011. USDA's Agricultural Research Service (ARS) Bee Research Lab in Beltsville, Maryland helps keep these colonies of bees strong and healthy so they can pollinate crops growing in the Headquarters People's Garden and neighboring landscapes. An added bonus is the delicious honey, approximately 18 gallons worth, extracted from the hive since 2010.
The beehives consist of wooden box-like sections stacked on top of each other. Each box (or super) holds 8-10 wooden frames, each containing a thin sheet of wax foundation. The bees build their combs on these foundations.
Honey is stored in the combs in the upper parts of the hive. When the bees have filled the combs in the upper section with honey and covered them with wax caps, the beekeeper takes them away to extract the honey. You can take a virtual tour of the People's Garden Apiary for a look inside the hive and the fascinating world of beekeeping.
Honey Bees
Honey bees are not native to the United States. The scientific name for honey bee is Apis mellifera. Since humans first began keeping honey bees, their principal aim has been the harvest of honey. Beekeepers select the appropriate type of honey bee based on temperament, physical characteristics, disease resistance, and productivity.
Italian honey bees were selected for the People's Garden Apiary because they are most often used in commercial beekeeping in the United States. These bees have a relatively gentle disposition and are good honey producers. They are not the most resistant to disease, but they excel in most other areas.
There have been some queen survivorship issues in both of the People's Garden colonies, which actually mirrors what's going on in the rest of the country. Queen health is an issue for everyone who buys queens, commercial or hobbyist. The exact underlying reasons for poor queen survivorship is unknown, but the ARS lab is actively researching this problem.
Why Care About Pollinators?
Pollinators need us and we need pollinators. Honey bees are responsible for pollinating more than 100 crops and one out of every three bites of food Americans eat. These foods give our diet diversity, flavor, and nutrition. Sadly, the number of native bees and domesticated bee populations are declining due to disease, adverse weather and other conditions.
The People's Garden Initiative encourages everyone to take an active role in saving the honey bee and other pollinators by adopting pollinator-friendly land management practices at home and within your local community. Remember: no bees, no honey.
How to Garden for Pollinators
Increase the number of pollinators in your area by choosing plants that provide essential habitat and food sources for birds, bats, butterflies, moths, flies, beetles, wasps, small mammals, and most importantly, bees. Supporting pollinators is not hard to do. Start by following these simple steps to create a pollinator-friendly garden:
- Go Native - plant native plant species
- Bee Showy - flowers should bloom in your garden throughout the growing season
- Bee Bountiful - plant big patches of each plant species
- Bee Diverse - plant a diversity of flowering species that supply an abundance of pollen and nectar
- Bee Chemical Free - limit or eliminate use of pesticides
Watch this webinar on Pollinators for Your Garden for expert advice on how to create a successful pollinator garden.
How can you find pollinator-friendly native plants for your garden?
The Pollinator Partnership offers 32 different planting guides to improve pollinator habitat, each one tailored to a specific ecoregion in the United States. Each guide is filled with an abundance of native plant and pollinator information. Enter your zip code to find your ecoregion planting guide and download it for free.

My Profile
Xavier Vanneste
SharePoint Server
Xavier, who has been an IT enthusiast for over a decade, is a consultant, architect and developer using Microsoft technologies, for which he has numerous certifications.
Once starting work with SharePoint 2003, Xavier was immediately impressed with the tool's capabilities: "SharePoint is becoming the heart of the information system because it's not only a platform for exchange and collaboration, but it also allows all of the knowledge within the organization to be centralized." It was this early passion for SharePoint that naturally led him to join the SharePoint specialist community through contributions to blogs, seminars and forums. "What I appreciate in those communities is the involvement and spirit of sharing among the participants – being part of the community often allows you to find answers to questions, whether they're technical or more general in nature."
In 2007, Xavier became technical director at
, the company at which he would become SharePoint Server MVP on January 1st, 2011: "If I had to give one piece of advice to anyone wanting to become an MVP, it would be to remain very accessible and humble: there are no experts, no seniors or juniors – only enthusiasts who want to share their knowledge and experience".
He has been contributing to the SharePoint User Groups in France (UGSF) and Luxembourg (SPLUG) since 2010, where he has run a number of sessions, namely on search engine functionality within SharePoint and, in particular, Microsoft Fast Search.
Xavier has made Fast Search a real field of expertise, even long before it became an indispensable part of SharePoint 2013 – and his contributions have identified him as one of the top technical experts in Europe, as well as being a Fast Search V-TSP for SharePoint since 2011.
Xavier has a permanent web presence, particularly through his very popular
dedicated to SharePoint.
In 2012, in order to be able to contribute more actively to the community, Xavier collaborated with other MVPs to set up the Conf'SharePoint association. Their goal is to organize the first conference in France fully dedicated to SharePoint and the event will be held from 22 to 24 May 2013 in Marne-la-Vallée. Currently, the call for contributions and pre-registration is currently open and there are only a few remaining spots for corporate partners. Please visit
for more information.
More than anything else, Xavier feels that development is in his soul: "I can't help it. I'm coding morning, noon, and night, much to the exasperation of my wife and five kids".
Xavier has made two extensions for SharePoint available on CodePlex, including the
Thumbnail Extender for SharePoint
and the
Pivot Viewer for SharePoint
. SharePoint 2013 has made Xavier even more of a SharePoint enthusiast than ever, inspired by the ability to develop apps and contribute to the Microsoft Office Store. He comments that his work includes "...not just SharePoint applications, but also apps for Windows Phone and Windows 8, applications that are already out there and those still to come...".
