For "Wicked" fans, it is important to remember that 2014 marked ten years down the line since its launch. The Broadway production "Wicked" has garnered much success compared to productions in Los Angeles, London, and other cities in North America. With interesting statistics, the Broadway production broke the record in 2013, earning more than 3 million dollars in its weekly revenue. It now stands out as the best of the musical productions organized by "Wicked."
Fans of "Wicked" can book their dates and purchase tickets online to try and secure a seat at the show in New York. According to fans and critics, attending the Broadway performance at the Gershwin Theater in New York City is one of the greatest show experiences. For most fans, seeing a favorite story live, in front of their eyes, in a once in a lifetime experience, so it is important to check on the official, "Wicked" website to get tickets as soon as possible, as the show sells out quickly.
Many people wonder what fans gain when they attend a live production. For true, loyal fans, and those out to discover new experiences, attending a live production comes with various advantages. First, you interact with an artist, or artists, face-to-face; while it is easy to listen to a recorded version at home or in your car repeatedly, fans will miss the physical and emotional reactions they can have from seeing and hearing the artist during a live performance.
Secondly, by attending a live performance on Broadway, fans share an experience with other fans, as they appreciate the performance of the artist together. Artists have their way of engaging with the fans, including gestures, emotions, expressions, and more, to ensure that fans are absorbed in the performance. A good, live performance is good for health as well, as it can lead to an enlightened spirit, and less stress and depression, which often results from boredom.
If you are a loyal fan of "Wicked," don't miss your chance to get your ticket. Tickets are available online from the official website, where you can book according to your seat preference; there are seats available in the orchestra front mezzanine, orchestra stadium, mid mezzanine, as well as rear mezzanine seats.
When you purchase your tickets early, you can avoid the last minute rush that always seems to occur when people scramble for tickets. Buy your ticket early and secure your spot for a unique Broadway experience.

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
In this course, author and sought-after presenter Lisa Larson-Kelley introduces Prezi, a cutting-edge tool for creating dynamic presentations. Discover how to add layers of meaning to static presentations with multimedia, spatial relationships, and movement.
The course demonstrates the features and benefits of an effective Prezi presentation, shows how to navigate the user interface, and explains how to create, animate, share, and publish a prezi. Plus, Lisa shows how to present your prezi to a remote audience, via a web browser or your desktop.
Adding web links in Prezi is surprisingly simple, but it's somewhat limited. Any text that starts with http or https, Prezi will automatically activate as a link. This is great, but adding web links to other text or to images isn't possible in the editor as of this recording. Not so great. There's a work around for this that I'll get to in a minute. But first, let's go ahead and add a text link to our sample Prezi. I'll scroll in to where I want it to be using our scroll wheel on my mouse.
Just kind of clicking in this area and scrolling in. And the first thing I'll do is click where I want the link to appear. This gives me a text box. I'll type the full URL that I want to link to. And I'll change the default color to something we can read. There we go http://. And remember, this URL needs to start with http or https to be recognized as the link. When I deselect the text box by clicking it anywhere else on the canvas, you can see then align appeared under the URL, indicating that it's now a link.
So here in Edit mode if I click on it, it just lets me edit the text. But if I go into Present mode and click on it here, It seems like nothing happened. If I jump out of full screen mode, clicking the x, so we can see that the page opened in another window on top of our Prezi window. We just couldn't see it because we were in full screen. And I clicked it twice so it did open twice. So this is a little bit awkward since you don't really get any indication that the link has been opened when you're in full screen mode.
So if people are interacting with your Prezi when it's embedded in a webpage, your link will work as expected. But keep in mind, if they're watching in full screen, they may not see your link until they exit full screen mode. I'll close these windows and hop back to our editor. Zoom back out here. So I've shown you the simple and easy way to add links to your Prezi, but as we scroll back in here, you can see that this link is kind of long and ugly. What if you want to add a link to regular text or to an image? Right now that's not supported in the Prezi editor. There is a hack for this though. You can create a PDF with a link embedded in it and then place that PDF into your Prezi and the link will work.
While creating a link in a PDF is out of scope of this course, there are a couple of courses in the lynda.com library that show you how to do this. InDesign CS6: Interactive Documents and Acrobat X Essential Training, both cover it. I have created a PDF with our link embedded in it to demonstrate how it works. This file is included in the free exercise files for this course if you like to follow along. So to load that PDF, we can use the keyboard shortcut L. Or go up to the Insert menu, and this brings up our dialogue box and we can choose a PDF.
And its NOIcom.pdf. I'll click on it and click to open, and it takes a moment to process it, and here it is. Now I can place it where I want it to go, somewhere in here About like that. I'll nudge it over with my keyboard, and now I can click on this link. I'm going to click off onto the canvass. And if I click on this link it works. It links right to my website. And if I close this, we're back in the Prezi editor.
Editing these is a little awkward though. Say I just wanted to resize this image. If I click on it to select it, the link is going to open up. So the best way to select this so I can get to that Context menu, is hold down Cmd+Shift, or Ctrl+Shift on a PC, come out here and drag a Marquee over the thing that I want to select. Now I have the Transformation menu here and I can make changes. So I'll make it a little bit smaller, and a little bigger, there.
Or I can delete it. I can also move it around and get it just right. Now this PDF hack may not be required in future versions, since adding links to text and images is a highly requested feature. Well, that gives you an overview of adding web links to your Prezis, adding even more interactivity to your presentations.

Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
Clara Wilson has a lot on her mind. Her best friend, Gerri, has started moving in circles that will never in a million years include Clara and her crooked nose. Clara's parents are fighting again, and her mom keeps talking about teaching in France. At least Clara still has Hambone, her loyal dog. And her crush on Amos McKenzie, of course.
Amos McKenzie doesn't much like home these days. His dad's corny questions are bugging him more than usual, and his mom's gone religious for no apparent reason. On top of that, he's starting to fall for a major dink, Clara Wilson. And as it turns out, he's not the only one...
The Tripp Brothers are the biggest delinquents in town. They smash mailboxes, shoplift groceries, and cruise around in their Seduck (half sedan, half truck). They've just turned their sights on the school's newest, cutest couple. And that can only mean one thing for Clara and Amos: danger.
Clara and Amos--their lives turned upside down by each other, their families, and the two meanest brothers in town--discover that honesty may be the answer...but it can be awfully hard to find. In this emotionally compelling and suspenseful young adult novel, Laura and Tom McNeal present a searingly accurate look at life in ninth grade--where thrills, heartbreak, and intimidation can take place at a locker, in the lunchroom, or in a bathroom stall.
"From the Hardcover edition.

Donkey Business
Representatives of the 2008 Democratic National Convention are looking for a great piece of ass: a donkey that will serve as the August event's symbol. So they turned to the folks at the National Western Stock Show, where the DNC Official Donkey Mascot Contest happens tonight.
According to horse-show manager Brad Ettleman, the pageant's judges will include DNC chief executive officer Leah Daughtry, and other prominent politicos may sign up as well. The evaluation standards won't be as technical as at other Stock Show competitions. "They'll be looking at behavior and the cuteness factor," Ettleman says and since no specific party affiliation is required for entrants, it's entirely possible the DNC mascot could be owned by Republicans. Wouldn't that be a kick?
The contest gets under way at 7 p.m. at the National Western Events Center, 4655 Humboldt Street, during the National Western Draft Horse and Mule Show. Tickets are $14. Get more details at 1-888-551-5004 or www.nationalwestern.com.

Gujarat high court on Friday granted permission to Baba Ramdev to organise Yoga Shibir at Vadodara and Ahmedabad on strict condition that it will not be a political event and he will file a letter of assurance to the district administration for the same.
Police reports said initially district administrations had denied permission to Bharat Swabhiman (Nyas) to hold shibir at Vadodara and Ahmedabad on April 26-27 respectively where Baba Ramdev, a staunch Modi supporter, would be present. It was argued that Ramdev could use this platform t o campaign for BJP's prime ministerial candidate. However, the court granted permission to organise the rally on the condition that neither politicians nor member of political parties would be allowed in the shibir.
Division bench headed by Justice MR Shah also directed Baba Ramdev to give personal assurance before the respective police commissioners about the Yoga Shibir not be used as platform to campaign for any party. "Permission has been granted on further condition that, said assurance submitted in court shall be affirmed and filed by Baba Ramdev and the original copy of the same be given to the concerned Commissioner of Police and the copies of the same shall also be given to the concerned District Election Officer," court said in its order.
"That whole programme shall be strictly restricted to Yoga-related activities only. That no direct or indirect statements which directly or indirectly refer to any political parties or candidates and are directly or indirectly beneficial or harmful for or to any political party shall be made. In this programme, no one shall be permitted to carry any campaigning material of any political party or candidate or identify himself in light of his political affiliation. That it shall be responsibility of the organizers as well as preceptors to observe the Model Code of Conduct in its true letter and spirit," the high court said.

You should apologize for reverting somebodies else's change without consulting with them first. You should apologize for not finding a way of resolving this disagreement privately (like emailing state of Florida). You should not apologize for being wrong about the turn relation.
You apologizing has nothing to do with anybody else. Believe me, you are not the only person that should be apologizing for this weekends fiasco.

|1 Million Mappers Soon ... No, Not Really
|over 2 years ago
butrus_butrus, tmcw, I did not suggest that nobody would come back, but rather these dead accounts have a real cost on project. They are not "free". Also, I bet both of you would have made an account when you came back if needed. Anyway, no worries, I'm glad you both came back :-)
|Using the DOD GS-600 or similar HD blackbox gps cameras for OSM
|over 2 years ago
Hi Marlow,
Thanks for posing this! Can you read the signs with the camera? I could not ready them in the utube video.
Thanks Jason.
|1 Million Mappers Soon ... No, Not Really
|over 2 years ago
The find nearby users feature should show new accounts without any map changes. If somebody opens up an account nearby and does not manage to edit the map, I would like to contact them and offer to help. If it is more than a year old, we probably lost them already.
For the 0.05% that open up an account and 2 years later make their first edit, all of the other issues don't seem worth saving them 1 step. I don't have data, but it seems like this is an extremely rare occurrence, and we should not be degrading important features because of this.
For users without any map edits, if we get our password hashes stolen, then we have 800,000 people that are at risk for no reason.
Not being able to close an account seems kind of rude.
|MassGIS building file converted to OSM format
|over 2 years ago
We are talking about it on the us-talk.
Basically, the license is fine because it comes from MassGIS. Nobody has signed up to actually push this into OSM yet. I was hoping that people that are mapping in MA, would take a look at the data and see what it looks like first then we can see what makes sense to do next.
Thanks Jason.

I've had this (mis)fortune to be featured in a bundle with $1 worth sound effect… And now because of that I will probably never be featured in a bundle again… Eh…
urbazon, just curious how much you earned with this $1 ? – $100? It's good earnings for not expensive item but I agree much better to participate with full music track or AE project template.
Best Regards, Andrey

Stop a cold in it's tracks!
I knew mushrooms were great for your immunity, but Mushroom Immune Defense by Source Naturals is practically a miracle supplement for my family! If someone starts to feel like a cold or flu coming on, I start them on it and have them take it a few days after the symptoms subside! 5 days max! SO happy with this product! I also recommend taking it before travelling to help stay healthy! (example: plane or train)
It works!

Danish Supporter
Philippines - Last active: 1 month ago - Tests: 7
I am a native Danish speaking Customer Supporter/ CSR /Adminstrator that is very reliable, trustworthy and flexible. I also do audio transcription from Danish to English.

Multifaceted Virtual Assistant. Business support branch
Sweden - Last active: 10 days ago - Tests: 17 - Portfolio: 4
My previous line of work led to the start of a VA business. My goal is to work with what I like and keep up the trend of various tasks. The rate described is my lowest rate, which I usually apply because I sometimes like to do assignments to keep my skills at a recent level, and then that rate apply. On the other hand could other duties require a higher rate. My VA role is one of the multi-skilled, or multifaceted as I use for marketing since I've learned a lot of different skills during the positions I held. I'm very service minded, as I started out as a cashier and office girl and had the privilege to work with people with genuine feeling for service. I find it likable and I also think it makes sense to keep a service minded attitude towards customers. If you see someone without a smile - give them one of your kind of recaps what service is. Additionally to the service offered in the line of work, that is. Later on I've for several years each, held positions as sales secretary, school secretary, administrative consultant, application specialist and web/system developer. Besides having extensive work experience, the studying of sociology, psychology and computer science at an academic level constitutes useful knowledge. Still today I feel at home in almost any constellation of work, I like to do repetitive tasks from time to time, and challenging tasks from time to time. Work satisfaction is important to me, and it means delivering good results, to be of benefit to the receiver. For myself the help and learn part goes a long way. One other thing to mention is that I learned to type at an early age. That skill has been both useful and fun during the years. Besides skills in service and typing, I'm interested in languages, both human and computer. Regarding human language, I write with a fine imagination, do my research and have a splendid vocabulary. Regarding computers, I like to make life easier for end users, and I also focus on usability. Regarding both languages, I also like to enhance the experience for the reader/user. Oh, I nearly forgot (if you're still reading this short essay that is), I also do some graphic designs from time to time. Web design, Logo designs, Business Cards, Newsletter, formatting in Word, layouts in PowerPoint and so on! We need beautiful things! Cheers!

New Arizona State athletic director Ray Anderson has such a sweetheart contract that he gets two week's pay (about $25,000) every time a Sun Devils minor-sports team, such as baseball, softball or women's golf, qualifies for the NCAA tournament.
That's in addition to his $600,000 base salary, his $200,000 annual retention bonus, a $200,000 signing bonus and 19 bonus clauses in his contract, including one that pays him roughly $12,000 every time a Sun Devil coach is selected Pac-12 Coach of the Year.
Perhaps that's why, after two months on the job, Anderson last week fired Tucson native Shawn Charles, a Santa Rita High School grad, who was ASU's head wrestling coach. An under-performing wrestling coach now takes money out of the AD's pocket.
That's new to the culture of big money college sports.
But none of the items in Anderson's contract compares to the deal ASU president Michael Crow brokered for the long-beleaguered and cash-strapped Sun Devils athletic program.
Crow last week successfully persuaded the Arizona Board of Regents to agree that every ASU student will henceforth pay a $150 fee for Sun Devils athletics.
That's about $10 million a year.
That's a game-changer among game-changers in Pac-12 sports.
After decades of financial ineptness under myriad ADs, often running as much as $5 million to $6 million in the red, Crow and the Board of Regents in one master stroke put ASU's athletic department in the black.
It was at the same Board of Regents meeting that the state's education leadership panel officially recognized Arizona AD Greg Byrne for a "fantastic achievement," in raising about $30 million for McKale Center renovations in what seemed like 30 seconds.
A little irony, perhaps?
Arizona's athletic budget in 2012-13 was $66 million; ASU's was $63 million. The difference is that the UA has not run a deficit. Nor does it plan to follow ASU's get-rich-quick model and ask students for a mandatory fee.
"We've chosen as an institution not to do it," Byrne said Friday. "Obviously, we would need to have campus support, and discuss it with the students, if we ever moved in that direction."
ASU did not have a campus referendum, but rather chose to get approval from a few student political leaders.
UA and ASU both get 315 tuition waivers each year from the Board of Regents. Arizona pays an annual $1.3 million administrative service fee to the campus; in exchange, its utilities are paid under the school's umbrella.
After that, Arizona's athletic department has paid its own way since entering the Pac-10 in 1978. Its financial responsibility under ADs Cedric Dempsey, Jim Livengood and Byrne has been exemplary.
The UA has never put its financial burden on the students.
But now ASU has changed the money game. It won't have to worry that it pays above market price ($384,000) for women's basketball coach Charli Turner Thorne, or that it owes basketball coach Herb Sendek a $600,000 bonus on June 30.
The Sun Devils didn't get to the Rose Bowl or even the Sweet 16 this year, but they won the Money Game in a landslide.

Waffles for free in the morning, clean comfortable room.
leaving it the next morning
upon arrival I took 1 look and turned to get the sleeping bag out of the car to place atop the worn dingy bed spread. I did not want to touch it at all. the floor was warped and pushed up in areas. the shower was pretty disgusting as well.
We got to check in at 11 am. Close to foxwoods, free shuttle
Website said free continental breakfast but it was not true.
Close to Foxwoods
Worn down room.
Staff were RUDE. Room wasn't even cleaned when we checked in. Beds weren't made. There was trash everywhere and a dirty pair of underwear hanging. Disgusting!!!!
everything else
I loved how quick and easy check in was! The staff was very welcoming and answered all of my questions. The rooms were nice and clean, had the perfect size television. The bed was extremely comfortable. Delicious hot breakfast was included until 10am. Check out was 11 so after breakfast we still had plenty of time to check out on time. It was just an all around great stay!
Because of all of the snow parking was limited. We had to circle around for a couple of minutes before finally parking in the last parking spot. But again snow is not something the staff can control.
I needed to move the reservation 1 day due to severe weather but Priceline and Hampton Inn were unable to accommodate.
Further than I thought from Foxwoods
Clean and comfort
Mariah checked us in and I was blown away by the customer service she provided. She had an extra room available so she upgraded us, provided us with a few toiletries that we forgot instead if having to buy them in the store, and gave us free Buffett breakfast vouchers. She called the restaurant personally to book our dinner reservation (which we could have done ourselves but it was amazing how she just jumped in with "I'll call for you no problem") every time we passed the counter she greeted us by name and the most impressive part was when she called our room around 6 to see if we needed anything else before she headed out for the evening. I was just floored by her service and how genuine she was. I will recommend this hotel to everyone I know and will for sure be back again.
Good breakfast, friendly staff, convenient location to casinos and RI beaches
Room was amazing
Larger size of room
Check in sparse--no real counter. Bathroom not as clean. Toenail clipping on floor, back of toilet with stains.
We came here prior to my neices wedding in New Haven CT and stayed 2 nights along with our daughter,her fiancé & our 16 month old grandson. The staff was wonderful, food was great and location was ideal for our daytime site seeing around town.
Just having to carry our bags up two flights of stairs. Other than that nothing, but i knew that before I booked it from prior reviews. And it won't stop me from going back there again.
Right on the beach and within walking distance to all restaurants on the beach. Very clean rooms and the Staff was awesome. There was a leak in the room above us, but Staff responded right away, made the repair and we enjoyed the rest of our stay.
No onsite laundry for guests.
Easy access to the room from parking lot and also to restaurant. Food was good. Location was fantastic. I would definitely stay there again.
The alarm clock went off at midnight! Also the phone had messages on it that were not for me. Could check those things out before hand.
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
More questions or if you have a bad price to report to us

The New Orleans Saints are coming off the worst defensive season of any team in NFL history, and Thursday night's selection of safety Kenny Vaccaro is intended to be a critical piece in the shake up of their troubled secondary.
The Saints improved their record to 5-5 with a 38-17 win over the Raiders in Oakland on Sunday.
The offense continued its balanced attack, rushing for more than 100 yards for the third consecutive game. Mark Ingram led the way for the Saints' ground game, rushing 12 times for 67 yards and a touchdown.
Drew Brees provided another masterful performance, completing 74.1 percent of his passes for 219 yards and three touchdowns.
Lance Moore caught two of Brees's touchdown passes, totaling 53 yards.
The New Orleans Saints handed the Atlanta Falcons their first loss of the 2012 season Sunday in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome by a margin of 31-27.
The Falcons started the season on a roll, traveling to New Orleans with an unblemished 8-0 record. But, despite Atlanta's successes, the Saints always seem to slow the Falcons down.
In their last 13 meetings, the Saints have now defeated the Falcons eleven times, and four straight overall.

Kortney James had 19 assists and 4 kills in the loss
Aug. 24, 2012
The Montana volleyball team dropped its season opener in straight sets to Washington State Friday afternoon in the first match of the Idaho Nike Invitational at Moscow, Idaho. The Grizzlies were limited to .057 hitting in the 25-23, 25-12, 25-19 loss.
Montana will face Idaho Saturday at 1:30 p.m. (MT) and Pacific at 5:30 p.m. (MT).
"We did some things well tonight, but not for long enough stretches," UM coach Jerry Wagner said in an attempt to encapsulate his team's loss.
Jaicee Harris had 13 kills on .257 hitting and Rachel Todorovich finished with 11 kills on .320 hitting to lead the Cougars. The pair also combined for 19 digs and four blocks.
Senior outside hitter Paige Branstiter led Montana with eight kills, but she also had nine attack errors to hit -.037 for the match.
Junior middle blocker Brooke Bray totaled four kills and a match-high five blocks. Sophomore outside hitter Kelsey Schile added seven kills and three blocks.
The back-and-forth opening set had five ties and three lead changes. Montana was within one four times late in the match, including 22-21 and 24-23, but after a timeout the Cougars went to Harris, and she ended the set with a kill.
The Grizzlies were within range of going up a set despite hitting only .125.
"We didn't play all that well in the first set, but we battled," Wagner said. "It seemed like everything was in place for us going forward."
It wasn't. Washington State jumped off to a 9-4 lead in the second set, and Montana was never in it. The Grizzlies hit -.111, with just five kills and eight errors in 27 swings. WSU hit .444 and sided out on 12 of 13 opportunities (.923).
After the break Montana took advantage of four early Washington State attack errors to go up 7-1 in the third set. The Grizzlies still led 14-11 until a six-point run for the Cougars gave them the advantage.
Down 17-14, Montana would get no closer than two points the rest of the set.
"We just gave up too many large runs in the second and third sets, and we can't do that," Wagner said. "Hopefully it was because of uncharacteristic reasons.
"We've got a couple of more chances tomorrow to move in the direction we want to go."
Junior setter Kortney James finished with 19 assists and had four kills in five attacks. James set her favorite target, junior outside hitter Kayla Reno, 30 times, but Reno had just five kills to go along with 10 digs.
Junior Megan Murphey led Montana with 11 digs.

You can remove perfmod by reflashing Streakdroid without the perfmod option in the install.txt file. Nandroid backups are on the external SD card (rom-backup file). You can resotre them via Streakmod recovery. The size will depend on what you have installed. Mine are between 500-800 MB. If you back-up a clean install it will likely be less. No sure what would happen if you ran out of room, either it wouldn't start or not be able to complete. I have yet to hear of any internal SD cards being damaged by perfmod, but have heard that some instability with certin programs. I have had no problems.
I did a full a full backup with nandroid..
I have not noticed any problem with the prefmod. I will not remove...
(everything work, no FC / Random reboot / or any problems)
But If there is something wrong , i can recover the current system now...
I just changed my build.prop, now works almost all gameloft games.
Thanks again! Helped a lot!

Appendix B: Methodology used for the design and analysis of household surveys and data.
There is no one single definition for the term "vulnerability" and no one single way of measuring it. Different disciplines define it and measure it differently, but the one common trend among all of them is the idea that the concept is related to levels and types of risks to which people/communities are exposed. Table B.1 summarizes some of the most commonly used definitions.
The differences between the approaches can be reduced to the tendency of each discipline "to focus on different components of risk, household responses to risk and welfare outcomes". All approaches have their strengths and weaknesses: some are considered strong in their conceptual framework but weak in their empirical approach (i.e., how it is measured) and vice versa. The definition used in this study is eclectic: it borrows from all of these disciplines.
Selection of Study Areas--Vulnerability Mapping
Vulnerability indices are commonly used in the field as a way to measure vulnerability by different researchers and institutions. Two such indices are the "Food Insecurity and Vulnerability Information and Mapping System" (FIVIMS), developed by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO); and the "Vulnerability Analysis and Mapping (VAM)", produced by the World Food Program in cooperation with FIVIMS. (58)
In this study, a vulnerability index was also developed to guide district selection. Case study sites were identified based on a vulnerability analysis using a "Principles, Criteria and Indicators" (PC&I) framework, together with a Geographic Information System (GIS). Rather than assigning weights and scores on an ad hoc basis, Principal Component Analysis (PCA)59 was employed to provide a statistical basis for determining the effect of each variable on the target variable, i.e. agricultural vulnerability. (60)
The drought- and flood-prone areas were demarcated and then overlaid with other maps containing information on other biophysical, social, and economic parameters. The basin was used as the geographical unit in the development of the maps. By superimposing maps with the different parameters and showing their fluctuation from one year to another over a reasonable period of time, a map depicting different degrees of variation is produced which serves as the basis for selecting specific sub-areas for analysis.
In this study, the secondary data on biophysical, social, and economic indicators such as gross cropped area, cropping patterns, groundwater availability, and an Infrastructure Development Index (LDI), among others, was compiled over different years spanning a 10-year period, for comparison purposes. The data was collected from various sources including the Survey of India (SOI), the Census of India (COI), the Central Ground Water Control Board (CGWB), the Central Water Commission (CWC), the National Bureau of Soil Survey and Land-Use Planning (NBSS & LUP), the National Atlas & Thematic Mapping Organization (NATMO), the Center for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE), the Indian Agricultural Statistics, Volumes I & II, the Agricultural Census, and the Maharashtra and National Information Center (NIC).
Using PCA, a vulnerability index was created which allocates degrees of vulnerability to districts: low, moderate, high, very high, and extremely high. Districts were classified according to the index and maps were then developed for the states of Andhra Pradesh, Orissa, and Maharashtra. An overlay of different profiles for these states thus forms the basis for the selection of the districts in each state, except for Orissa where official data was not available to allow for a comparison of vulnerability over time. Consequently, the district selection in Orissa was guided by a combination of (a) analysis of secondary data and (b) the extent of the geographical area which is considered to be liable to floods. Based on this analysis, some districts were deemed to face greater threats than others due to a combination of high biophysical and social vulnerability and limited infrastructure development.
The final selection of districts in the selected river basins was made to purposely capture a range of vulnerability patterns given their different socio-economic, technological, and biophysical conditions.
Field Surveys
Despite the fact that more than two districts in each of the three states were selected for climate projection (five in Maharashtra and four Andhra Pradesh), further prioritization of districts was necessary in conducting field surveys due to limits in time and budget. Thus, field surveys were carried out in two districts in each state. In the end, the districts of Anantapur and Chittoor in Andhra Pradesh, Jagatsinghpur and Puri in Orissa, and Ahmednagar and Nashik in Maharashtra were chosen for the study. The objectives of the surveys conducted were the following:
* to assess the coping capacities and vulnerabilities of communities in dealing effectively with droughts and floods; and
* to determine the factors that influence the effective implementation of coping measures at field level.
Institutional surveys were carried out to collect information on the central and state government plans and programs being implemented in the state and to ascertain their efficacy in enhancing the capacities of communities in dealing effectively with climate variability and conditions of extreme weather, including drought and floods. The field surveys sought to collect information on the communities' perceptions on (a) the intensity of droughts/floods, (b) the crops grown in the region, (c) the change in cropping patterns, irrigation, livelihood options and migration, (d) infrastructure, (e) the availability of financial services and schemes, and (f) the importance of insurance. Through these surveys, an attempt is made to undertake a critical review of policy and community-oriented interventions that enhance the capacities of communities to cope during extreme climate situations. In all, 1,640 households were surveyed: 570 households in Andhra Pradesh, 650 households in Orissa, and 420 households in Maharashtra.
Development of Tools for Institutional and Field Surveys
Questionnaires designed for implementation in drought and flood circumstances as well as other Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) tools were used. Secondary data including sketch maps, transect walk, collation of time-line information and trend-lines, seasonal cropping calendar mapping, institutional mapping, problem tree analysis, and problem and opportunity ranking was collected. In addition, group discussions, interviews, focus group discussions, and institutional surveys were carried out.
The questionnaires were pre-tested in pilot surveys in Rajasthan (a drought-prone area). It provided insights about the available quantitative information and its usefulness for the purpose of the survey, and it was improved and modified accordingly.
The lack of proper recorded information at the village level posed a major constraint to quantitative/statistical analysis.
Selection of Villages in Identified Districts Based on Analyses of Secondary Data
The selection of villages in each district was based on the screening of village-level secondary data collected from the census office. This data was collected for parameters including village land area, land use, cultivated and irrigated land, and availability of infrastructure including education, bank/credit, society, communication, power facility, and services like health care. The data was used for the preliminary selection of villages within each district. These were later confirmed by discussions with officials in government departments at the district level as well as other localized non-governmental organizations and communities at the village level.
Village Classification Based on Irrigation
All villages lying within a district were classified into one of three levels based on their irrigated area as a percentage of their total agricultural area: low (0-33%), moderate (33-66%), or high (66-100%).
Village Classification Based on Infrastructure Development
An infrastructure index was developed by considering the existence or level of certain facilities and services at the village level including the availability of drinking water, education facilities, medical facilities, electricity, banks, agricultural society, and communication linkages.
The villages were assigned to one of four categories according to their irrigation- and infrastructure-based classification. The purpose of this categorization was to select villages that were representative of different contexts which may further the understanding of the factors underlining the different levels of vulnerabilities. These broad criteria on irrigation and infrastructure are used to classify the villages in a matrix as the one shown here below.
The sample size, n, for each target population is computed using the formula by Murthy, (1977):
n = N * n/N + n -1
Here, n = [c.sup.2]/[e.sup.2] where c is the population coefficient of variation and e is the allowed percentage of error. ./Vis the target population size (480).
To obtain a representative sample, proportionate sampling based on landholdings were conducted. Records indicating household land category were collected from the Tehsildar (61). The survey was conducted based on the various landholding categories: >4 acres (large farmers); 1-4 acres (medium farmers); < 1 acre (small farmers) (62); and landless. After conducting the survey, all the data was coded and entered, and were used for quantitative analysis. A reference manual was also developed to facilitate viewing and referencing.
Measure of Income Volatility
The Coefficient of Variation (CV) is used to understand the extent to which household incomes are volatile to the impact of drought/floods events (63). The CV is simply a measure of the deviation of 'impact year' income from 'normal year' income.
CV is defined as the ratio of the Standard Deviation to the Mean ([mu]) and is defined by the following formula:
[c.sub.v] = [sigma]/[mu]
In this formula, [sigma] is standard deviation and [mu] is average income (64). It is often represented as a percentage by multiplying the above by 100.
An advantage of the CV is that it is free from the units of the variables, and it thus permits comparisons with respect to their variability. The CV is commonly used since it is a quantity without physical units. Although the CV indicates the magnitude of variations, it fails to capture the directional shifts in income. As a substantial majority of the surveyed households experienced drops in income in an impact year, few 'outlier' households that showed an increase in income during an impact year were segregated out.
Table B.1: Definitions of Vulnerability Discipline/ Literature Definition of Vulnerability Economics It is an outcome of a process of (57) household responses to risks, given a set of underlying conditions. Often times, the outcome is poverty. Sustainable It is the probability that Livelihoods "livelihood stress" will occur-- with more stress or a higher probability implying increased vulnerability. Also, "the balance between the sensitivity and resilience of a livelihood system." Food It is the risk of irreversible Security physical or mental impairment due to insufficient intake of macro or micronutrients. Disaster It is the characteristics of a Management person or group in terms of their capacity to anticipate, cope with, and recover from the impact of a natural disaster. It is an underlying condition separate from that of the risky events that may trigger the outcome. It refers to risks as "hazards". Discipline/ What is Measured How Literature it is Measured Economics The fall of income beyond (57) the poverty line or changes in consumption are measured. Sustainable The loss of livelihood, Livelihoods continued vulnerability to subsequent shocks and vulnerability changes over time are the subjects of interest. The assessments are specific to population or society. It uses a case study approach. Food Vulnerability mapping Security and indexes. A number of analytical techniques are used to examine the degree of correspondence between the concept of food security and the indicators chosen to measure it. Disaster Vulnerability = Management Hazard--Coping Household characteristics are key determinants in that they affect either side of the equation. The use of vulnerability mapping is also widespread. Discipline/ Literature Criticism Economics There is an underlying (57) presumption that all losses can be measured in monetary terms. Sustainable It tends to use terms and Livelihoods concepts that are unclear or not widely accepted. It is not clear how changes in vulnerability would be evaluated over time when some indicators show a positive change while others a negative one. Food It usually lacks a Security benchmark to which indicators can be compared. It recognizes that vulnerability is made up of different components, but it ignores the specific process by which the components interact to determine overall vulnerability. Disaster There is a lack of Management precision in the language used, which leads to confusion. At times, it fails to be specific about what constitutes loss or damage, or whether it matters who endures these.

Successful development of an industry to supply alternative liquid transportation fuels faces some technological and sociological challenges. These challenges are not trivial, but they can be successfully overcome.
Developing a systems approach through which farmers, biomass integrators, and those operating biofuel-conversion facilities can develop a well-organized and sustainable cellulosic-ethanol industry that will address multiple environmental concerns (for example, biofuel production; soil, water and air quality; carbon sequestration; wildlife habitat; rural development; and rural infrastructure) without creating unintended consequences through piecemeal development efforts.
Determining the full greenhouse gas life-cycle signatures of various biofuel crops.
Certifying the greenhouse gas benefits for different potential biofuel scenarios.
In other words, failure to link the critical environmental, economic, and social needs and address them as an integrated system could reduce the availability of biomass for conversion to levels significantly below the 550 million tons technically deployable in 2020.
For the thermochemical conversion of coal, or of combined coal and biomass, to have any significant impact on reducing U.S. reliance on crude oil and on reducing CO2 emissions over the next 20–30 years, CCS will have to be shown to be safe as well as economically and politically viable. The technological viability of CO2 capture is already proven, although commercial-scale demonstration plants are now needed to quantify and improve costs and performance. Additional programs will be required to help resolve storage and regulatory issues associated with geologic CO2 storage approaching a scale of gigatonnes per year. In the analyses presented in this study, the viability of CCS was assumed to have been demonstrated by 2015 so that integrated coal-to-liquid fuel plants could start up by 2020. This assumption is ambitious and will require focused and aggressive government

In partnership with the Sampson County Economic Development Commission, the Clinton-Sampson Chamber of Commerce is looking forward to the Wake-up Sampson County Economic Development Breakfast. I encourage you to join us on Friday, April 11 as we discover a North Carolina economic development update from Secretary of Commerce Sharon Allred Decker and Dr. Patricia Mitchell, assistant secretary for Rural Economic Development.
Appointed by Gov. Pat McCrory in January 2013, Secretary Decker brings more than 30 years of experience in business and commerce to the position. As stated on the NC Commerce website, "After graduating summa cum laude from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, Decker spent more than 17 years with Duke Power Company, now Duke Energy. She began with the company in consumer services and moved rapidly through the ranks to become the youngest and first female vice president in Duke Power's history. Her work at Duke Power led to the creation of its 24-hour customer service center, an organization that still serves as a model for the industry.
Decker left Duke Power as Chief Communications Officer to become the founding president of The Lynnwood Foundation, which was created to restore the Duke Mansion in Charlotte as a conference center, and to begin the William States Lee Leadership Institute. While at Lynnwood in 1998, she also served as the chair of the Charlotte Chamber and was named Charlotte Woman of the Year. She moved to Rutherfordton in 1999 to serve as president of the Doncaster division of Tanner Companies.
In 2004, she created and served as the CEO of the Tapestry Group, a non-profit that helps individuals lead healthy lives in body, mind and spirit. In addition to her work with Tapestry, Decker is wife to her husband, Bob, a mother of four, a lay pastor in the Presbyterian Church (USA) and a student at the Christopher White School of Divinity, completing her Master of Divinity Degree with a concentration in Spiritual Formation. She completed an internship last year as Director of Graduate Ministries for the Center for Christian Study in Charlottesville, Va., where she served as chaplain to students at the Darden School of Business and the UVA School of Law. She remains a member of the Board of the Center for Christian Study. Decker has served on the boards of three Fortune 500 companies."
Also attending with Secretary Decker on April 11 is Dr. Patricia Mitchell. She was appointed assistant secretary for Rural Economic Development at the N.C. Department of Commerce on Sept. 13, 2013.
Mitchell oversees the newly created Rural Economic Development Division, which includes two of the programs being transferred from the N.C. Rural Economic Development Center. These programs provide assistance for building reuse and restoration, and water and sewer infrastructure. The Division of Community Assistance, NC Broadband, Main Street and the Appalachian Regional Commission will also be consolidated into the new Rural Division. Mitchell came to the Department of Commerce from a nine-year tenure in local economic development and county management. She holds the Certified Economic Developer distinction from the IEDC, and is an adjunct professor for Appalachian State and N.C. State universities.
Secretary Decker often says, economic development starts with the community and while the state does have a role, it takes a variety of individuals with vision and skills to accomplish successful economic development within a community. I'm looking forward to this economic development breakfast on Friday, April 11th at 8:00am in Heritage Hall at the Sampson County Exposition Center. For more information about this event or to RSVP, please call 910-592-6177 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
