Samuel Johnson said, "Agriculture not only gives riches to a nation, but the only riches she can call her own."
Fortunately, Surry County farmers added an increase of more than $20 million from 2012 to 2013.
"Livestock and small grains are very strong in Surry County," said Wythe Morris, agent with the Surry County office of the North Carolina Cooperative Extension. "As tobacco decreases, those in agriculture are looking to see what type of crop can take its place. Traditional tobacco farmers are starting to diversify with sweet corn, pumpkins and broccoli. If we capture one-seventh of the California broccoli crop for the East Coast, that would be a $100 million crop for area farmers."
According to a financial report from Surry County, overall income from agricultural commodities in 2013 was estimated at $276,044,509. Poultry and egg production remained the largest income-producing agricultural commodity with an estimated $138,455,625. Income from all field crops totaled $32,598,100, a decrease of just more than $1,300,000 due to higher production costs and yield decreases. Tobacco is still the largest field crop income; flue-cured and burley income was $15,117,250.Income from other field crops (soybeans, corn, wheat, rye, barley and hay) was $12,497,970.
Livestock (beef cattle, dairy cattle, hogs, sheep, lambs and other livestock) increased by $13,624,900, almost 20 percent more than the previous year, due to higher prices received with an estimated 2013 income of $84,660,950. Horticultural and forestry income accounted for $20,329,834 of farm income, an increase of $1,496,514, mostly in the vegetable areas.
According to the 2012 Census of Agriculture performed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, there are 1,256 farms in Surry County on 126,897 acres of farmland, which was up 11 percent from the previous census in 2007. The majority of the farms are 10 to 49 acres and 50 to 179 acres. Only a very small percentage of the farms are larger than 1,000 acres.
North Carolina is 14th in the nation in the total value of agricultural products sold; 34th in the value of crops, including nurseries and greenhouses; and 17th in the nation in the value of livestock, poultry and their products.
The top crop items (acres) include forage-land used for hay, grass silage and green-chop, corn for grain, soybeans for beans, wheat for grain and winter wheat for grain.
The top livestock items include broilers and other meat-type chickens, layers (hens that give eggs), pullets for laying flock replacement, roosters and cattle and calves.
The majority of farmers are male (1,147), but 109 of the farmers in Surry County are females.
"We are beginning to look at a lot more vegetables on the East Coast — all the way from Maine to Florida. The savings in cost to transport the vegetables, as well as the drought in California, means that it is more cost effective to grow the vegetables on the East Coast," Morris said.
"The problem in North Carolina is high temperatures and humidity in the summer. We believe we can grow a year-round crop of strawberries by beginning at the coast, and, as the weather gets hotter, grow more and more inland, clear into the mountains, and then, as the weather gets colder, back out onto the coast. This is an exciting time for agriculture."

KOLKATA: Diplomatic and trade ties between Bhutan and China are definitely conceivable in the future, but the current priority is to resolve all border issues, said Lyonpo Ugyen Tshering, the Foreign Minister of Bhutan here on Thursday.
"We have no diplomatic or trade relations with China so far, but it is definitely conceivable. We will have to find the right time when these matters can be worked out," Mr. Tshering said.
The situation demanded a persistent and consistent policy, he said adding that the two countries were in the process of discussions on border issues which is the foremost priority right now.
Already an indirect trade link has been established, Mr. Tshering, said citing the example that often India buys heavy machinery and equipment of superior quality and at competitive prices from China and then installs it in Bhutan. "That is the nature of international trade," he said.
On being asked to comment on the progress made in foreign relations a year since Bhutan became a democracy Mr. Tshering said that there is a need for the country to diversify in trade.
"Currently, 90 percent of our agricultural exports are to Bangladesh and all our surplus power is exported to India. We are selling very few products, but with more development we shall be able to progress," he said.
Mr. Tshering was in the city for the formal inauguration of the office of the Consulate General on the occasion of the 102nd National Day of Bhutan.

It's the bottom hole and the top hitter.
It's Brianna Turang to Lauren Chamberlain.
It is, Tennessee's players agreed, the greatest 1-2 punch they've seen in softball.
The combination of Turang's speed and Chamberlain's bat is what helped Oklahoma to a WCWS Championship Series Game 1 victory.
Turang's major thought in her at-bat? Get on base so she can pass the bat on to Lauren because "everyone knows Lauren likes it when runners are on … and her bat is hot."
Chamberlain is a player who feeds off things like the sound and energy. The more you give her, the more she delivers.
In this year's Women's College World Series, Chamberlain's batting average is .353, while Turang's is .308.
Chamberlain's slugging percentage? 1.059
Turang's slugging percentage? .538
Chamberlain's on-base percentage? .421
Turang's on-base percentage? .400
For Chamberlain, she has six hits on 17 at-bats with five runs and driving in five RBIs. She hit one double, one triple and three home runs. She's walked twice and struck out three times.
For Turang, she's had four hits in 13 at-bats, with five runs. She hit a double and a triple, was walked twice and struckout once.
But beyond all those numbers, Turang and Chamberlain have alerted Tennessee's players that they will give them no break in the lineup, from top to bottom, and that their No. 9 hitter is just as threatening as their No. 1 hitter.
"Obviously you don't see that often," Raven Chavanne, Tennessee's lead-off hitter and USA Softball National Player of the Year finalist, said. "It's a great 1- 2 punch."
From Tennessee pitcher Ellen Renfroe: "I don't know if I've seen a better 1-2 punch. Lauren Chamberlain's the best for a reason."
From Tennessee shortstop Madison Shipman – "I don't think I've ever seen a better 1-2 punch then them either. You don't get a break throughout their line-up. Once you get past one, it's like, 'Okay, here comes another one.'"

BOSTON — The Boston Celtics continue to look to the East - the Far East - for talent to bolster their injury-riddled roster.
The latest addition comes in the form of Shavlik Randolph who has signed a 10-day contract with the C's and will be in uniform (No. 42) tonight against Golden State.
And like Boston's other 10-day contract signees - Terrence Williams and D.J. White - Randolph comes from the Chinese Basketball Association.
Randolph, a five-year NBA veteran with stints in Philadelphia, Miami and Portland. In 95 games, he averaged 2.4 points and 2.4 rebounds while playing 8.2 minutes per game.
The 6-foot-10 forward spent this past season with the Foshan Long Lions of the CBA, appearing in 28 games while averaging 32 points and 14.6 rebounds in 36.5 minutes per game while connecting on 53.1 percent of his shots from the field.
The Celtics' roster now stands at the NBA-maximum of 15, although that can change as early as today when the C's have to make a decision on whether to keep Terrence Williams.
All indications are that the C's will sign Williams to a second, 10-day contract.
Celtics sign Shavlik Randolph to 10-day deal

Importantly, they heat the samples of DNA-linked particles and then cool them back to room temperature. "This 'thermal processing' is somewhat similar to annealing used in forming more common crystals made from atoms," explained Nykypanchuk. "It allows the nanoparticles to unbind, reshuffle, and find more stable binding arrangements."
The team also experimented with different degrees of DNA flexibility, recognition sequences, and DNA designs in order to find a "sweet spot" of interactions where a stable, crystalline form would appear.
Results from a variety of analysis techniques, including small angle x-ray scattering at the National Synchrotron Light Source and dynamic light scattering and different types of optical spectroscopies and electron microscopy at the CFN, were combined to reveal the detail of the ordered structures and the underlying processes for their formation. These results indicate that the scientists have indeed found that sweet spot to create 3-D nanoparticle assemblies with long-range crystalline order using DNA. The crystals are remarkably open, with the nanoparticles themselves occupying only 5 percent of the crystal lattice volume, and DNA occupying another 5 percent. "This open structure leaves a lot of room for future modifications, including the incorporation of different nano-objects or biomolecules, which will lead to enhanced nanoscale properties and new classes of applications," said Maye. For example, pairing gold nanoparticles with other metals often improves catalytic activity. Additionally, the DNA linking molecules can be used as a kind of chemical scaffold for adding small molecules, polymers, or proteins.
Furthermore, once the crystal structure is set, it remains stable through repeated heating and cooling cycles, a feature important to many potential applications.
The crystals are also extraordinarily sensitive to thermal expansion - 100 times m

MacBook Air replacement wanted
I bought a late 2010 MacBook Air a while ago. This was the top of the range one; 2.13Ghz, 4GB RAM and 256GB SSD model. I've since started a bit of a collection on my 500GB external hard drive with loads of movies and TV shows, which is now full. I therefore want to sell this laptop, and buy another Mac with a bigger hard drive and a better graphics card (so I can do a bit more gaming on it).
I'd like some suggestions on what could be a good replacement, my current ideal would be a 13" MacBook Pro with an i7, and a Seagate Momentus XT 750GB (a hybrid storage device which comes with I think 4GB of flash storage where it puts the most commonly used files for fast access; hopefully resulting in fast boot times). Does anyone have this configuration at the moment, and how fast is it (possibly compared to a MacBook Air 2010)? Any other plausible ideas? The main thing I don't want to give up is the fast boot time...
Thanks for reading!

If gaming is a requirement, the iGPU of the MBP 13" isn't going to be a great choice. If you're set on a Macbook, then the MBP 15" would be my suggestion.
You can replace the main drive with an SSD as well and put the original drive in a caddy to replace the optical drive.

The only real option if you want to do some decent gaming is a MBP 15". The 13" MBP still has the Intel 3000 integrated graphics so it isn't going to be much different than gaming on the MBA.
The 15" MBP would also give you some different storage options as well. So if you're stuck on a Mac, that's about all you can do.
If you're open to PC ideas, then I could give you a lot more suggestions.

What about the older gen MacBook Pros, they had discrete AMD cards didn't they? Were they any good? I'm not a hardcore gamer, but I've just bought GTA IV and it lags like crazy even on the lowest settings. I just want games to run well; I don't need good graphics.
And bogatyr, I have heard of that, have you or anyone you know tried it? Is it a complicated procedure? I'm not too experienced with hardware operations (just the odd hard drive upgrade, optical lens clean etc).
Thanks guys

I have not done it myself, I scrapped my MBP and switched to a MBA. I play 99% of my games on a console so the GPU on the laptop wasn't important but the size was.
I know there are other guys here who have, seen posts here and there about it. Another place to find people who have would be the Apple forum on Notebookreview.com
|Apr 6, 2012, 12:25 PM
gaming on a laptop kinda sucks due to heat, fan noise and lack of battery life.
i'd replace with a 13" MBP, the video will be a little better than the MBA due to the higher clock speed, but either way, both should run games from a couple of years ago no problem.
I *can* game on my 15" mbp, but it doesn't like it: fan noise, heat, etc...

Prison terms handed down in Texas kidnapping case
San Augustine County Attorney Wesley Hoyt, the other prosecutor in the case, told jurors Miguel stayed missing for years in part because of a flawed investigation by Houston police, which closed the case in 2006.
But Rudy Velasquez, Walker's attorney, told jurors Miguel's parents, Auboni Champion-Morin and Fernando Morin, didn't cooperate with Houston police after the boy was reported missing and never really showed any concern for their son.
A Houston police investigator testified during the four-day trial last week she thought this was not a kidnapping case but one about interference with child custody because she believed the boy's parents and Tanner had an agreement related to his custody.
"This is not a kidnapping. What has happened is you have a young lady who gave her child away," Velasquez said. "Ms. Morin was willing to sell her child for $200."
The boy's parents were not in the courtroom during closing arguments. But Champion-Morin, had testified her son was taken by Tanner and that Houston police did not keep in touch with her about the case.
Donovan Dudinsky, Tanner's attorney, told jurors to consider that Miguel is currently not living with his parents but is instead in the custody of a Houston-area couple in deciding whether to believe the parents' claims that their son was taken.
A Houston judge last month placed Miguel with Junita and Joseph Auguillard, who have also been taking care of Miguel's four siblings for nearly 10 years under an agreement they have with the boy's parents.
Miguel has been told about the true identity of his parents and his siblings, and he has been having weekly joint therapy sessions with his parents.

Partners in Health Physician on Haiti: "Cholera Will Not Go Away Until Underlying Situations that Make People Vulnerable Change"The Haitian government says a cholera outbreak is slowing down, but experts are warning the disease could remain for many years. At least 259 people have died, and over 3,300 have been infected. We speak with Dr. Evan Lyon, a physician with the group Partners in Health who has spent years working in Haiti.

In his latest article, he writes the way the Interim Commission to Reconstruct Haiti is dealing with the issue of land "is the Haitian equivalent of the US...July 14, 2010 | Story
- Something that gets lost in all the coverage of the Haiti earthquake is how people on the ground organize in the face of adversity.

According to Coulomb's law the potential energy of two oppositely charged particles decreases as they get closer together. Because the charges are opposite, the potential energy of the interaction is negative.
When the charges get closer to each other, the radius becomes smaller and the potential energy decreases. Hence, the statement (a) that the potential energy decreases is correct.

EASLEY — The Easley High School marching band is kicking off several fundraisers over the next few months with four car washes and a yard sale planned for this weekend.
Car washes will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday (Aug. 30) at KFC on S.C. 123, 5 Point Church, Black's Electric Company and Oaktree Medical Center.
Also on Saturday, the band will hold a yard sale in the band room at the high school from 7 a.m. to noon. All proceeds and donations will go directly to the band.
An Easley "Fan Cloth" apparel sale is ongoing, featuring new T-shirt and hoodie designs, with $8 from every piece sold going to the band. For safety reasons, students are not permitted to sell door to door, but a full catalog is available for viewing at easleyband.com.
The marching band's annual fruit sale will kick off Oct. 6.
"We do a lot of little fundraisers through out the year, but this is the big one," said Kristin Gill, director of the band. "The money we earn from this goes to buy instruments, uniforms, and to help pay for gas for our trips and competitions."
The fruit sale hit an all time low last year after quality issues with the distributor the year before.
"It was awful," said Easley Band Booster Rebecca Burd, "but the problem has been addressed. We have a completely new company and the fruit comes from a different orchard. It's all new, and we want to get the word out there that this fruit sale is really important for these kids."
The band has 126 members and the Color Guard has 28.
"As of right now, when the football team goes on the road, we only take half of the band," Gill said. "The athletic department stopped paying for our travel (to football games) a few years ago, and we just can't afford to take everyone."
The marching band has a competition Oct. 18, with the top seven bands moving on to the state competition the following week.

Possum Dixon
New Sheets
BACK IN FEBRUARY 1994, when guitar rockers were living it up like first-class passengers on the Titanic, Possum Dixon were an oddity. There they were on 120 Minutes--four uncommonly handsome young men with natty haircuts and a pop sound as perfectly manicured as it was out of vogue--sandwiched between Candlebox and fellow Silver Laker Beck. Lacking both the pomo irony of the Spam T-shirt set and the overwrought angst of the Boys in Flannel, Possum Dixon seemed clueless and utterly inconsequential.
Either the cultural climate has changed or pop-lovers are in worse trouble than ever, because in these dry days Possum Dixon sounds less like a hopeless case and more like the latest Great White Pop Hope. On New Sheets, the band's hook-happy third album, they make a pretty convincing case for the vitality of power pop, or at least for keeping it around until melodies become obsolete.
Despite a collection of tunes as genetically perfect as frontman Rob Zabrecky's blue-eyed beauty, Star Maps--the band's 1996 love letter to their new-wave record collections--was a dismal commercial failure, leading some pop aficionados to believe that all hope was lost. Slimmed down to a power trio, tightened up with the help of New Wave high priest Ric Ocasek, and slightly dumbed down for easier consumption, New Sheets may yet win Possum Dixon their moment in the ever-dimming "Modern Rock" radio spotlight.
As always with amped-up hookery, it's the chorus that matters, and Zabrecky knows his way around a sublime moment as well as anybody since...I dunno, John Waite? "Only in the Summertime" and "Heavenly" are irresistible, infuriatingly hummable pop confections in the classic tense-and-release fashion. The ethereal new-wave country of "Faultlines" (co-penned with ex-Go-Go Jane Wiedlin) breaks open in the middle and melts all over the dashboard. And, as is always the case with amped-up hookery, the songs are all about that girl-you-can't-have/girl-you-don't-want.
Like the Plimsouls (L.A.'s Great White Pop Hope of 1983), Possum Dixon doesn't really build a better model so much as one that's about as good as the one you just wore out. Yet look where that same approach got the Plimsouls: one-hit-wonder status and an appearance in the cult-classic film Valley Girl. Possum Dixon should be so lucky.

The full storyPerhaps you would find the full story (and cover-up being done by the Butler County sheriff)... (case #12-5085) the officer caused the motorcycle accident. He watched what he caused in his rearview mirror when he passed a southbound motorcycle in a no passing zone at a high rate of speed.Interesting that the accident reports our motorcycles struck each other.. and depending on which story you read... the accident report or the one printed in your paper... who struck who... the 1st, 2nd or 3rd motorcycle...in reality.. None of our motorcycles struck any of the others ever.I went down trying to avoid a head on collision with SGT Luke W. Grimes ... who isn't even listed or mentioned in any way on the accident report.This appears to be an obvious cover-up if you ask me.There were multiple witnesses at the scene, including the southbound motorcyclist the officer passed in a no passing zone ... as well as other witnesses that were northbound just ahead of our group.I am so disheartened by the "Story" being put out by the Butler County Sheriffs office.My Husband Randy was the lead motorcycle in our group and he was able to pull over to the right out of the way of the speeding Sheriff's vehicle just in time to avoid collision.He was farther up and saw the officer crest the hill. I was not able to see the officer until he was coming over and was completely in my lane coming at me.I was not following my husband too closely as the Sheriff stated and my bike never struck his!This area is a 55mph speed zone. With a vehicle coming at you at the same speed or faster ... there is very little time or space to react.My brother William (Bill) and his wife Tonya also crashed in this accident. They were on one motorcycle together behind mine. He never follows too close... but all he had time to do was react to my hard braking as I tried to avoid being hit head on. His motorcycle never struck mine or any other motorcycle.-Sincerely, Nita Wilkinson, Valley Center

TrackMania United revolutionises the series with its new connected* functionality. When equipped with an Internet connection, players can directly exchange all their creations through the game, its interface and its closed Internet network. Each player can have, much like the famous Myspace, a true online personal space, accessible by entering an address in the game browser or by referencing Manialinks. In this personal space, the player can trade his tracks, vehicles, skins, videos and any other creations for Coppers, the game's monetary unit.
Coppers are used for exchanges made directly through the game and its network. The players can, for example, earn Coppers by unlocking single player medals or by exchanging their creations with one another.
In the single-player Official mode, players will earn Coppers by establishing the best race times for any single-player track races. The online-ladder rankings system will allow each player, depending on his level, to appear in the regional, national, team or friends rankings. To help players improve, ghosts of top ranked players can be downloaded and raced against… which guarantees plenty of fun and challenge

Taiwan-born Pan shoots 2-over 72
ARDMORE, Pennsylvania (AP)
Pan Cheng-tsung had a pretty good day on the course. He felt even better about it when he scanned the scores.
LEADERBOARDGet caught up with all the action with our PGA Tour leaderboard.
''When I look at the scoreboard with my last name up there, it's pretty cool,'' he said.
Taiwan-born Pan was one of several amateurs who had a respectable showing in Thursday's opening round of the U.S. Open. Pan shot a 2-over 72 at Merion Golf Club and put himself in solid position to make the cut.
Kevin Phelan topped the four amateurs who completed early rounds with a 1-over 71 that put him four shots behind leader Phil Mickelson.
Pan and Phelan did great at No. 13: Both parred the hole and picked up a birdie or two elsewhere.
''It's always nice to be able to compare yourself to the best in the world,'' Phelan said. ''It's the first time I've had a round anywhere close to them. It's nice, but there's a long way to go.''
Pan, 21, is a junior at the University of Washington. He missed the cut in his other Open appearance in 2011, saying he was too excited and had too many distractions to play his best game.
He brought only two friends with him to Merion. And this time?
''I had it going,'' he said.
OPEN SEASONTiger Woods and the rest of the field battled the elements, as well as each other. We've got the best US Open shots.
Pan, who also answered questions in Mandarin, wants to graduate from Washington and become the first member of his family to earn a degree.
He played nine holes Wednesday with his idol, Luke Donald, but never could bring himself to say how much he admired his game.
''Nah, too embarrassing,'' he said.
Phelan, who failed to make the cut in the 2010 Open, plans to turn pro later this year and attend Q-school. With more rounds like Thursday, Phelan just might reach his goal of making the Walker Cup team.
''It certainly can't hurt,'' said Phelan, 22, who lives in St. Augustine, Fla.
He was nervous before his first tee, but calmed down after his first swings. He came away from a practice round with Masters champion Adam Scott with some useful advice for taming the soggy course.
Sure, it's only Thursday and the amateurs concede there's too much golf ahead to start thinking about making the cut. But perhaps history could be on their side.
Only 21, amateur Jim Simons took a two-shot lead into the final day of the 1971 Open played at - yes, Merion. Trying to become the first amateur to win the event since 1933, Simon faded to fifth. Lee Trevino would go on to beat Jack Nicklaus in a playoff. No amateur has led again on the final day.
Bobby Jones won the U.S. Amateur in 1930 at Merion, clinching his Grand Slam.
On Thursday, Michael Kim had three birdies and shot a 3-over 73 to join Pan and Phelan as the top-three amateurs. The 19-year-old Kim was more jittery playing practice rounds than approaching his first Open tee shot.
''I didn't really feel too nervous out there, other than maybe a couple moments,'' he said. ''I just tried to have fun. Tried not to expect too much.''
Three of eight amateurs made the cut last year at Olympic Club and the best score for the tournament was Jordan Spieth at 7-over 287.
''The gap between amateur and pro, I think it's getting smaller,'' Pan said. ''As an amateur, we're getting more chances, more opportunities to compete in professional events. We learn from those.''

Consumer Reports says the 19 branded canned foods it tested for bisphenol A all contained the chemical. "Our studies show that the BPA is actually in the food itself," says Urvashi Rangan, director of technical policy for Consumer Reports magazine. In response, the American Chemistry Council's Steven Hentges told ABC News the level of exposure is "about a thousand times below safety standards set by government agencies around the world." A just-released study by the Environmental Protection Agency concluded low-dose maternal exposure to BPA had no significant developmental effects on laboratory rats.

Travellers to spend $600M for Resorts World expansion
popular .
Integrated gaming and entertainment firm Travellers International Hotel Group Inc. has changed its game plan and will now focus on expanding its Resorts World Manila with a fresh investment of $600 million before going full-blast with a second, and potentially larger, project at the Pagcor Entertainment City.
In a briefing Thursday, Travellers president Kingson Sian said proceeds from an initial public offering (IPO) planned by the company—a joint venture between Alliance Global Group Inc. and the Genting group of Malaysia—would be used to fund the second- and third-phase expansion of the Resorts World complex in the 12-hectare Newport City.
Travellers has already worked out its maiden offer, said to be worth as much as P42 billion. But the group is still waiting for the proper time to conduct the offering. The group has now set its IPO sights toward the end of the year, Sian said.
"If we don't do the IPO, we can always go to the debt market," Sian said, citing the company's unused credit lines and cash flow.
Travellers was supposed to break ground for the first phase of Resorts World Bayshore City by the end of 2012 and complete the first phase of the new entertainment hub at an estimated cost of $550 million by 2016.
Sian said that the group has yet to schedule the groundbreaking for Bayshore.
He estimated that, at the earliest, phase 1 of the second entertainment hub could be completed by 2017 or 2018.
The change in Travellers' plans had nothing to do with uncertainties over gaming taxation in the country, but with the realization that the group would be better off unlocking values from its mature project in Newport City, Sian said.
With five more airlines moving to the Ninoy Aquino International Airport terminal 3, from terminal 1, Sian said this would mean 18 million passengers for Newport City, Sian said.

Marquette University is drawing criticism from a Christian social justice group after presenting an award Thursday to U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan.
Faithful America, a national organization that claims approximately 280,000 members, said by presenting Ryan with the Les Aspin Center 2014 Public Service Award, the university is trading on the Republican's popularity with the superwealthy to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The organization said Ryan's proposed budget "slashes lifelines to the poor and middle class in ways that the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops have previously condemned as immoral."
The award was presented to Ryan, the chairman of the House Budget Committee, at a luncheon at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Washington, D.C.
The cost of registration for the event was $150. However, attendees could make scholarship donations of up to $25,000 for additional recognition, guests and tables at the luncheon.
Faithful America has started an online petition demanding the university donate proceeds from the event to the poor.
On Thursday night, Marquette spokesman Andy Brodzeller said the funds raised from the event will benefit students of the university's Les Aspin Center for Government, and that the award was given to Ryan because of his support for the center.
Brodzeller added that the award is not an endorsement of Ryan's proposed budget.
He also noted that the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities, of which Marquette is a member, sent a letter to Ryan this week stating it does not endorse Ryan's proposals.
"Marquette University stands with the Catholic Church in its commitment to the preferential option for the poor," Brodzeller said, referring to the church teaching that sets a priority on caring for the most vulnerable members of society.
Michael Sherrard, executive director of Faithful America, said if Marquette is truly committed to helping the poor, "raising money off Congressman Ryan is unconscionable."
Sherrard said the petition drive has already gathered 16,000 signatures and said his organization will deliver them to the university in the next several days.

Federal Funds:
Fiscal Years 2002-2009 Obligations, Disbursements, and Expenditures for Selected Organizations Involved in Health-Related Activities
GAO-10-533R: Published: May 28, 2010. Publicly Released: Jun 16, 2010.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-3407
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
This report responds to Congress' request for information on federal funds provided for fiscal years 2002 through 2009 to selected organizations involved in health-related activities and their affiliates: Advocates for Youth, the Guttmacher Institute, the International Planned Parenthood Federation, the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, the Population Council, and the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States. Specifically, Congress requested that GAO identify the amount of federal funds provided to the selected organizations and their affiliates for each of fiscal years 2002 through 2009 and the sources of these federal funds (for example, family planning grants authorized under Title X of the Public Health Service Act). Congress also asked us to provide information on expenditures of federal funds reported by these organizations and their affiliates. For this report, GAO identified (1) reported obligations and disbursements of federal funds that the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) provided directly to the selected organizations and their affiliates, and (2) expenditures of federal funds reported by organizations and their affiliates in instances in which an organization or an affiliate met the Office of Management and Budget audit threshold and submitted an audit report. Expenditures included both funds provided directly by HHS, USAID, and other federal entities such as the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and funds provided indirectly to the organizations or their affiliates, such as funds through the Medicaid program. This information updates GAO's May 16, 2003, report that provided information on fiscal year 2001 expenditures of federal funds by the organizations and their affiliates.
In summary, for the period of fiscal years 2002 through 2009, HHS and USAID reported obligating about $217 million and $347 million, respectively, to the selected organizations and their affiliates GAO reviewed, and disbursing about $188 million and $319 million, respectively, in accordance with these obligations. The selected organizations and their affiliates GAO reviewed reported spending a total of about $967 million in federal funds. This includes funds provided directly by HHS and USAID and federal funds provided indirectly, such as from federal grants to states that in turn provide the funds to these organizations. HHS and USAID reviewed a draft of this report and provided technical comments, which GAO incorporated as appropriate.
