|Then: Totally Oldies '80s is an 18-track collection that rounds up some totally '80s songs. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to the track selection; it seems as if the compilers just closed their eyes and picked songs that were hits or close to it at random. A selection process like that is bound to turn up some winners; here listeners have great songs like Rick Springfield's "Jessie's Girl, " Tracey Ullman's "They Don't Know About Us," and Modern English's "I Melt With You." It also produces some strange picks, like Chilliwack's "My Girl (Gone, Gone, Gone)" and Sneaker's "More Than Just the Two of Us." Most of the songs are vaguely new wave, yet there are enough hard rock tracks to spoil the party for new wavers. Ultimately, the totally random feel of the disc limits its success; the tracks just don't sound good mashed together as they are. Despite this flaw, fans of '80s music who don't really care about history or keeping styles separate or any of that music geek stuff may find this disc to be totally cool background music. ~ Tim Sendra

The University of Minnesota's Water Resources Center has authored a first-ever, comprehensive report designed to protect and preserve Minnesota's lakes, rivers and groundwater for the 21st century and beyond. The report is being formally presented to the Minnesota House of Representative's Environment, Energy and Natural Resources Policy and Finance Committee today at 8:15 a.m., Wednesday, Jan. 5 in Room 5 of the State Office Building, St. Paul.
The Minnesota Water Sustainability Framework, commissioned by the 2009 Minnesota Legislature, is intended to serve as a legislative roadmap with timelines and benchmarks for future investments in water resources, including the estimated $86 million a year dedicated for the protection of water as a result of Minnesota's Clean Water, Land and Legacy Act.
The 150-page report is the result of more than 18 months of cross-organizational, interdisciplinary input from more than 250 experts from federal, state, local and tribal governments, private industry, agricultural interests, universities and environmental agencies. The report also includes feedback from more than 5,000 taxpayers who participated in an online survey and statewide listening sessions held in January and February of last year.
In response to its legislative charge, the report addresses a range of water-related issues including drinking water quality, storm water management, agricultural and industrial water use, surface and groundwater interactions, ecological needs, invasive species and Minnesota's water infrastructure system -- all within the context of changing climate, demographics and land use and development.
Specific recommendations include:

Richard Brauman always loved caviar. But for many years the former Federal Reserve employee found that, no matter how much he was willing to pay for quality, the goods often had a stale, fishy taste. He blamed it on the traditional practices of companies in caviar-producing countries like Russia and Iran, where fish eggs are harvested infrequently and may be heavily preserved with salt and borax

We're only on day 4? Time for me to crank up some tunes and get this thing moving along...
Day 4 – Caineville, UT to Cannonville, UT
Starting a few miles short... again. The target today was northwestern Arizona, and we almost made it. "Almost" only counts in horseshoes, hand grenades, and adventure riding.
Having skipped our last scheduled fuel stop the night before, we awoke to the typical continental waffle breakfast and planned our route west from Caineville to the next fuel stop in Torrey. I looked out the peephole and yes, the bikes were ready for another day.
We'd pass through Capitol Reef National Park on our way to Torrey for fuel, and head south from there through Boulder, riding on Hell's Backbone to Escalante, then take 12 to Cannonville where we'd hook up with some dirt again.
The ride through Capitol Reef was spectacular, even if it was pavement.
The scenery was cliffs on both sides while the road paralleled a lush creek. There were scenic spots, petroglyphs, etc., though we didn't stop for any of that at this particular point.
Once in Torrey, Byron reminded me that my rear tire might not make it the entire trip. He'd already placed an order for a new Dunlop 908 for his bike at Champion Motorsports in Vegas. After fueling up, I made a similar call and made sure they had a Dunlop 606 for the rear. They did and I informed them we'd be rolling in late tomorrow or early Thursday.
The housekeeping was out of the way and now it was time to ride. We headed back from whence we came on hwy 24, with plans to take dirt from Capitol Reef National Park, south to Boulder.
After hitting the road in Capitol Reef, however, we saw a sign that said "No through road". Hmm. Was there no way to punch through to Boulder from here, or was this sign just pointed at tourists with rented RVs?
We stopped in to the visitor center to find out.
A bright-eyed young lass working the counter informed us that yes, the road did go through, but it was 4wd only. Awesome, because you only need 1wd on a properly equipped bike. She worried us a bit with her comments about possibly navigating 20" - 36" creek crossings, but we'd at least find them and make a judgment call if we saw any.
We headed out from the visitor center, south to where the pavement turns to glorious dirt.
Let's hit it.
As it turns out, this was the only wet crossing for the entire distance of this road. Not much to look at, though the few people parked on our side of it seemed to get some enjoyment in seeing some bikes go across.
The road was varied with terrain. Most of it was rocky, with some stretches of sand... but the road in general was not groomed at all.
This spot on a short climb was a little more technical:
On this road, I had my only get-off of the entire trip, but it was a slow sandy spot and my front wheel just caught an edge and the bike got sleepy and fell over. Nothing much else to tell, but I did have to re-adjust a mirror and my clutch lever.
We hooked up with road near Boulder and stopped to put on some wet weather gear as it looked quite cloudy on the back side of Boulder mountain. As was the case for most of the Utah portion of the trip, the pavement was an unexpected blast.
Once in Boulder, we stopped at the Burr Trail Grill for some fantastic food. The burgers come from the local cows, and the homemade ketchup is amazing, even if it is a hippie town.
Out of Boulder, we took Hell's Backbone Road to Escalante. As was the case so far, any road in Utah referring to "satan", "devil", or "hell" was absolute cake and any road involving the words "trail" or "pleasant" was more technical than you'd think.
Allow me to illustrate this with a shot of Hell's Backbone. It all looked like this:
Obviously, the name refers more to the effort involved in creating it than it does to the experience of those riding/driving it. Scenic and fun, but nothing to intimidate, other than the name.
The Hell's Backbone Bridge offered a nice view.
Once in Escalante, it was time for more fuel and more pavement down hwy 12 to Cannonville.
Gee, that sun sure looks kind of low on the horizon given our current position and how far we have to go.
In Cannonville, we head south to our next dirt road, but the sun is even lower on the horizon and it's at least a 2 hour ride to our destination for the day. Looks like it's time to search for another motel.
The only one in town was booked, so we rode a few miles up to Tropic and they were all booked.
We ended up with a cabin at the KOA in Cannonville.
While I was unpacking the bike, I found that a bottle of strawberry jam I had in one of my saddle bags had exploded. Crap. The only good news is that everything else in the same bag was sealed. The bad news is it was still covered in jam. Blah. I'll deal with it in the morning. There's a public kitchen at this KOA, so I'll just rinse out everything there when I wake up.
While dealing with the exploded jam, I noticed that Byron befriended 2 women from Holland next door to us and he invited them over for a campfire. Being the happily married guy that I am, I just played wingman for Byron and tried to get the fire going. About that time, a good shower poured on us and I didn't have much luck with the fire, but that's what gasoline and lighters are for, and we had both.
By the fire, we mostly compared and contrasted various facets of life in the U.S. and Holland, discussed our family lives, and turned in to our respective cabins late that night.
We slept like babies that night... no, wait, babies don't sleep well at all. We slept like rocks that night. The cabin and supplied space heater assisted with that. Well, a little tequila and whiskey might have helped too.
"Whoaaaaaaaah, we're halfway there, Whoaaaaah! livin' on a".... sorry, had a Bon Jovi moment.

I had a mount on my helmet, but never used it. The only time a helmet mount would've been better is when shooting video. It was a little shaky for video when mounted to the bike (see the Flint Trail video linked on page 1).
Also, with it on the front of the bike, I could lean over the wind screen and make sure it was properly set up and turned on.

Day 5 – Cannonville, UT to Las Vegas, NV
Today will mark the halfway point of the trip, not in days, but in distance. We shoot for Vegas today from Cannonville, UT.
It was a late night...
...but I get up early and deal with the strawberry jam explosion. I have to pull the bags off the bike, empty the contents, rinse it out, rinse everything off that was in the bag (mostly MREs, a few bags of tuna, and a flashlight), and put it all back together again. Fun. Not.
Byron invites his new friends for breakfast at a local restaurant in Tropic. I notice that the restaurant has free copies of the Book of Mormon if you are so inclined. We were more interested in breakfast.
We chat for a bit and get ready to hit the road again. It cooled off quite a bit last night and is now in the 50's. We run into a guy who is a local ATV guide and he tells us they are forecasting snow tomorrow. Oh really? I think it's time to go
We head back down to the dirt road we didn't take the day before and bust it for about 30 miles before hitting pavement again near hwy 89.
The weather is really starting to turn at this point. Fortunately, the water falling out of the sky is still liquid. Instead of dealing with an imminent mud situation that now exists on the unpaved roads, we elect to stick to the highways to Vegas.
We'll stay on 89, then take a shortcut through Zion National Park, and ride I-15 from there into Vegas.
As it turns out, this was one of the best decisions we ever made.
Rolling into Zion, it went from "hmm, this place might be quite interesting", to "Holy crap, why wasn't this on our route in the first place?!"
We start cruising through Zion, trying to pay attention to the road, but is almost impossible with the scenery distracting us at every turn.
A few miles in, we see a few cars parked on the side of the road and several people with cameras pointing up at the cliffs. It takes me a few glances, but I finally see what everyone is looking at and stop to snap a few photos of my own.
See the rams?
Ok, how about now?
Once through Zion, we stop on the other side for some... Thai? Yes, Thai. Meanwhile, the bikes get continually soaked.
Say cheese.
Had I been a bit more proactive, I would've covered my seat before parking. I had a dry seat all day, even in the rain... until I left it outside in the rain without me on it. Oh well. Time for the final push to Vegas.
Ok, how about one more pic of Zion. It really, really sucks that the GoPro lens had water on it, but it makes for a good tease I guess.
Now that we've been traveling in very sparsely populated areas for 4.5 days, what could we do that would be a complete contrast to this? That's right... go to Vegas.
Time to hit the highway. 110-ish miles to Vegas on I-15.
The stretch in the far northwestern corner of Arizona was actually quite scenic. It's over a 1,000 foot drop from the Arizona side to the Nevada side and you get a great view of the valley in Nevada heading into Vegas.
We stopped in Moapa Valley to refuel and continued on I-15. Looks like more rain ahead.
Yep. Vegas is soaking wet. We must be lucky arriving on one of the few days a year this place sees rain.
We cruised up and down the strip about 5 times looking for a hotel that didn't have 50 cars out front waiting to go into the hotel. Seemed odd for a Wednesday, but I guess that's Vegas. I thought I got some GoPro pictures of the strip, but apparently the battery died within spitting distance of Las Vegas Blvd.
Anyway, we ended up at the Westin just off the strip probably around 5:30pm. We parked the bikes outside and dragged our dirty wet selves through the casino to our room. The hotel staff seemed to cringe as they put our wet gear on the carts for delivery too our room.
A little freshening up and it was time to party. We took a cab to the strip and proceeded to eat and drink until around 2am.
That's ok, all we had to do tomorrow was get up, re-pack the gear on the bikes, ride to the bike shop, have tires installed, and ride 318 miles to the Grand Canyon. No problem, right?

Day 6 – Las Vegas, NV to Williams, AZ
Took our time getting up this morning. I got up early to put the "Do not disturb" card in the door so we could catch a few more Z's before going full throttle.
Once up, we headed straight to Champion Motorsports for the tire changes. This was a very cool shop. Lots of shiny stuff and fantastic service. Within just a few minutes of arriving, we pulled our bikes in and they went to work on the tires. We chatted with some of the employees, and traded adventure stories. The time went fast, and I'd say within an hour, we were out of there.
We stopped at a Greek restaurant in town (Flame Kabob) to refuel our stomachs before heading out. Had a nice view of the strip, the airport... and the impending weather.
Great. I guess we should get moving. This west-to-east system was going to follow us all the way back to Texas.
At this point in the trip, there was a little homesick-ness as I realized how far away we were. Also, the reality set in that if anything went wrong, it could be a complicated matter as I had to be at work in a few days.
It was fitting then, that shortly after departure from the restaurant, Byron's 990 threw an "FI" light and was running funny. We were now the farthest we'd be from home and didn't have a lot of time for things to go wrong. We continued riding for several more miles and monitored the problem. Shortly thereafter, it seemed to fix itself, so we pressed on. There were quite a few highway miles before we'd hit dirt again, so if the problem surfaced again, at least we'd be near civilization. It never came up again though, so we resumed with the throttle twisting.
The scheduled route today would take us on Hoover Dam, some dirt roads south of Lake Mead, down to Kingman, AZ (off of I-40) for fuel, then back up to Grand Canyon Village for the night, on the south rim of the canyon.
However, the weather had other plans. We'd been extremely fortunate up to this point, but our luck had run out the day before and now we were going to see more bad weather.
We rode over Hoover Dam, and I forget when they re-opened it after 9/11, but you just have to turn around in the parking lot on the other side, then made our way back across the huge new bridge on hwy 93 that now bypasses the dam. It was dam cool.
We split from 93 about 12 miles south of Hoover Dam and took Temple Bar rd back north towards Lake Mead.
There wasn't very must eastward progress made for a while, and the storm was growing behind us.
We stop for pictures, and I got a shot facing Byron to the south...
...and he got one facing me to the north.
I think the moral here is don't look back.
Temple Bar rd goes all the way up to Lake Mead (the area was a ghost town this particular day), and we hook up with the first dirt road after a few hundred feet of exploratory navigation trying to find the road.
As suspected, it was a little moist from the rain the day before, but offered very good traction overall.
Some of the hills had water in the low spots, but they were just puddles with mostly solid bottoms. At least.. that was my perception. Byron had considerably more weight with the 990 and didn't quite "float" across a few of them.
Lots of Joshua trees out here.
The road was advertised at 26-ish miles long before reaching a dirt highway. We were winding through hills in the desert for a while as the storm gained on us before finally making some headway east and further south.
Making our way south on Gregg's Hideout Rd...
There was a strange grid of undeveloped residential streets off to the sides of this road. It seemed odd given we were many miles from any suburbs.
Here's what it looks like on Google's satellite view... a grid of streets with nothing on them, in the middle of nowhere:
We didn't get chased by any black helicopters, so the reasoning for the street layout in this location probably isn't very interesting.
Anyway, and then there was pavement...
We headed south for Kingman on Stockton Hill rd. A dry lake bed was in view to the left most of the time. This slightly broke up the monotony of riding on a straight flat road for 20 miles.
In Kingman, we refueled and entertained some locals with our story. One of the locals was a sub-20 year old guy who was stranded at the gas station with an old Jeep he purchased 2 hours prior. Fortunately, it was just a dead battery. He was confused at why we would do such a thing as ride 2,000 miles on "dirtbikes". Byron's response was quick... "Someday you'll be a man", he says. The kid laughs.
An older guy, at least in his 60's then rolled up in his truck and chatted about his old KTM 525, but then mid-conversation told us to hang tight while he got gas and to not head out before he got a chance to talk with us more. Hmmm... ok... but that weather is gaining on us. Make it snappy or we're out of here.
A few minutes later, we rehydrated and the gentleman was ready to chat some more. With his help, we were trying to figure out a way around the weather. It seems that in the past 24 hours, everything in the west somehow turned cold and wet. Flagstaff was forecast at 27° tonight and with storms heading that way, it was going to be snow.
Well, I guess the Grand Canyon is out. Damn. We tried to re-route south of I-40, but there weren't enough opportunities to keep going east while staying south of 40. Our only alternative at this point became taking I-40 to Williams, just west of Flagstaff.
I wasn't looking forward to pounding pavement for 75 more miles, but the alternative looked even less appealing... miles of dirt/mud roads in the rain and snow, approaching dusk.
Ok, I-40 it is. It was getting late anyway.
Sure enough, just west of Williams, around dusk, we had our first introduction to snow. Fortunately, it was a short one, but it was a taste of things to come.
Finally, many cold and wet miles later, we made it to the Best Western in Williams, AZ. There were several other bikers there, some we'd seen early that day... apparently coming to the same conclusion we did.
We had a fantastic meal at the hotel and tried to figure out what this weather was all about. The hotel employees said it was fairly normal to see a cold snap like this in October, and it would probably be a lot warmer the next week. Lucky us.
I guess it could've been worse... if we'd left Albuquerque just 1 day later than we did, a lot more of the ride would've been like this and we would've missed some great stuff. All the places we'd ridden in Utah were now cold and wet and getting snow.
Not much time left now. Just watching the miles disappear until we get back to the truck. We were on schedule, but would we be able to hit any more dirt on the way home with the weather like this?

Day 7 – Williams, AZ to Albuquerque, NM
Our scheduled 3 day ride back from Vegas was looking more like 2 days of pure pavement pounding. Kind of a bummer, but after seeing a lot in the previous 5 days, I don't think either of us could visualize how riding dirt all the way back for 3 days could've topped the previous 5.
The weather was just not cooperating and we still have another day of riding in the rain, 2 days of rain if we stopped again.
It was 26°F at sunrise and we were in no hurry to leave while it was cold. We hit the usual continental breakfast and waited for it to warm up to a balmy 40° before heading out.
Cold and wet weather gear on, and we were heading east on I-40... again.
Approaching Flagstaff, we ran into the system that leapfrogged us overnight. Great. More riding on I-40 in light snow, which at the time seemed like the most dangerous thing we'd done.
That was until we left Flagstaff and ran into another snow system east of town. This one was more substantial.
This was going to get interesting. There was heavy blowing snow for about 10 miles and there would be no point in waiting for it, because we'd just catch it again. Nothing left to do but commit.
The problem with snow is that there are several problems with snow. Colder weather means a fogging visor, snow sticks to the visor more than rain does, it's cold, there could be ice on the road, fog inside the visor can freeze, and again... it's cold.
My strategy was to stay in the same line as Byron, leaving enough space for the possibility of a fall. If he got squirly or fell, I'd have time to react. Fortunately, that never happened.
About 3/4 of the way through the storm, I couldn't keep my visor from fogging. I could lift it up slightly, but that just let more snow into my helmet. I also had to try to keep the outside of the visor dry so the wet snow wouldn't freeze on it. On top of that, while my core was plenty warm, I was starting to feel the cold in my fingertips.
Ok... if this gets much worse, I'm going to have to stop under a bridge for a quick thaw and to wipe my visor off.
I tucked my head down, looked through the only part of my visor that was still clear, and we kept going.
Several miles later, relief. The system was south of I-40 now and the sun was back out.
Sunshine, glorious sunshine in the Land of Enchantment (New Mexico).
In Gallup, NM, we stopped at a local mom n' pop food establishment.
Our bones were cold and it felt good to warm up again. The decision was made to continue the 140 miles back to the truck on I-40. Every piece of dirt between here and there would no doubt be cold mud at this point and we'd be pushing our luck to get back in time with conditions like that.
A few more shots before leaving.
The ninja.
...and Hannibal.
Before dusk, Byron gets a few shots on the road.
Near Grants, NM, dusk finally came and while it was raining over us, the sun peeked through the clouds to the west and lit up some spectacular scenery. The sky was dark, and the low ground was dark, but the mesas were spectacularly lit with the setting sun.
Riding 500 miles down I-40 wasn't the end I wanted or expected, but these last few hours did not disappoint.
It was raining, yet again, when we reached Albuquerque. Figures.
We loaded up the truck, in the rain, and started looking for a motel. Even with the weather this bad, they were STILL mostly booked for Balloon Fiesta. We escaped east into Moriarty, NM for a motel, and had some much needed coffee at a local cafe.
Back in the room, we started copying the 2,450 pictures and 2 videos from our cameras to my laptop.
It turns out there was a lot to tell and the story was about to begin...

Yes, it's reasonable: 27%
No, it isn't reasonable: 66%
"If his employees do not like it, they should start their own department store chain. If critics do not like it, they should offer them jobs from their own company, or make up the difference with their own money."
"Yes it is reasonable. He is responsible for a company whose revenue is larger than most countries. 11% of China exports go to Walmart. Would it be better is they paid him less and he quit and replace him with the HP CEO? I am sure this guy works 20 hours a day. Very deserving compared to hourly staff who never took time to graduate from high school."
"This is one of the main reasons that in today's corporate world, there is little or NO employee loyalty. When employees continue to see this type of executive arrogance and greed, why would any reasonable worker expend any extra effort or show the slightest loyalty to the company. Left unchecked, this executive "hogs at the trough" mentality will destroy U.S. companies."
"I favor compensation based on performance. My salary is."
"Perhaps a better question is what would these people be doing if they didn't have a job at Walmart? Maybe living off of the taxpayer? I know people who work at Walmart who are hard working, salt of the earth folks. But really, we need to stop this class warfare stuff. It is anti-free market and we already know that socialism doesn't work, with a host of European governments going broke. Capitalism isn't always pretty, but name one system that is better. It is always the other guy that is greedy, but I'm not...oh yeah, right! Do you really think that a Soviet style commissar is going to be more fair than the free markets? Do liberal politicians not show favoritism, or do give appointments to their buddies? No one gives away anything without recompense, except God Almighty."
"Ridiculous, there should never be this kind of disparity in pay from one position to another in a company. He should be ashamed of himself."
"Duke is getting rich by selling Chinese products and underpaying his employees. We need to rebuild America's economy by returning to MADE in the USA products that will put Americans back to work."
"The question is can anyone do better for less?"
"It's the WORLDS biggest corporation for goodness sake! I think for that, his salary is quite reasonable. The fact that the majority of the jobs at Walmart are low/no skill jobs is based on the type of business they are in, not the exploitation of the workforce."
"The big question is, how much stock does he own and what have his actions done to maintain stock value. If it is a well run company, does Berkshire Hathaway own any stock--that's my way of measuring his level of pay."

Preschool in Tanzania
By Crista Friedli
July 2010
Amina, a preschooler in the Eastern African village of Bagamoyo, Tanzania, comes to school each day clutching her pencil so no one will take it. She is one of 40 children in a classroom where writing utensils are scarce. The pencils are often cut or broken in half to accommodate more students. When she wants to play, Amina hands her pencil to me for safekeeping.
In a country where most of the population lives on less than $1 a day, it's a daunting task for parents to feed their families and send their children to school—especially since many are subsistence farmers and rely on their children to help on the farm or beg in the city.
This doesn't bode well for education in these communities, especially when most schools require uniforms for attendance. The punishment for coming to school without a uniform is often caning or being sent home—and sometimes expulsion. These uniforms cost $15, which is very expensive for a family struggling to get by. As Zik, a resource for those of us volunteering with U.S. nonprofit Cross Cultural Solutions, explained, "The uniforms are a way of cutting down class size." Whether or not this is an intentional side effect of the policy, it is certainly an interesting observation.
Most of the teaching materials I used were handmade by previous volunteers. We had a couple textbooks the children were forced to crowd around because there weren't enough to go around. Most classrooms have 40 to 90 children. Up to five children share one four-foot-long desk.
But this school was one of the lucky ones. For lunch, neighborhood women provided uji, a white watery cornmeal concoction similar to porridge. The children would run from the classroom to get their spot in line. For some, it was their only meal of the day.
Even under these circumstances, they managed to teach me more than I taught them. I learned more Swahili from my students than from the organized classes provided by the volunteer coordinators. For example, Asha and Yusef would often sit with me on Fridays, draw pictures in the sand, and tell me the Swahili words. Sometimes I would draw pictures and they would excitedly tell me the English word, so proud of what they'd learned.
Asha also would often reprimand the other children on my behalf. Once, when I was getting up to separate two fighting students, Asha commanded me to "Kaa, Mwalimu" ("sit, teacher"). She marched across the small room and proceeded to shake her finger and scold the wrestling boys.
A photograph of Asha is now framed on my wall, alongside many of the kids I worked with in Tanzania. Although I don't think I was a very good teacher, I can only hope I made a difference in some way, however small.

$40m rice farm coming, says Minister
A $40 million rice farm that will reduce imports by 15 per cent and cut costs by N54 billion ($342 million) a year is to be established, Agriculture Minister Dr Akinwumi Adesina has said.
The project, he said is a joint venture between Dominion Farms Ltd., an Oklahoma-based farming company that produces rice in Kenya and the Federal Government. He said the Federal Government's production target is 300,000 metric tonnes a year.
"There's absolutely no reason in the world for Nigeria to be a food importing nation," Adesina said. Nigeria must be a "food self-sufficient and exporting nation."
Nigeria is the world's largest importer of rice, at 2.3 million tons a year and consumption of 4.9 million tons, according to the United states Department of Agriculture. Demand in the country will be 35 million tons by 2050, Adesina said.
Nigeria imports 2.1 million tons of rice yearly and will produce enough grain in four years to cover its needs, which would allow it to export to other West African countries and compete with Thailand and India, Adesina said. The farm will stretch over 30,000 hectares (74,132 acres) in Taraba State. About 90 per cent of the land will be operated by contract farmers, and the rest will be run as a corporate farm and for training purposes, according to the statement. The farm will require 15,000 workers. Dominion Farms is based in Guthrie, Oklahoma, and operates a 17,000-acre leasehold in western Kenya.
Agriculture accounts for 44 per cent of gross domestic product, and contributes to about 77 per cent of all employment in Nigeria, Adesina said. Africa's top oil producer spends"well over" N1.3 trillion annually to import the four basic food items of wheat, rice, sugar and fish, he said.
Nigeria plans to add 20 million tonnes of production over the next four years of crops including rice, cassava, corn, soybeans, sorghum and cotton, Adesina said.

Previewing the Los Angeles Kings' 2013-14 season:
Game 45 vs. Boston
January 9, 2014
7:30pm PST (10:30pm EST)
It's been a while but on Thursday, the Los Angeles Kings will meet the Boston Bruins for the first time since the 2011-12 season with the B's winning both games of the season series. This season, the two clubs will meet twice more beginning on January 9 and ending on the 20th in Beantown.
At 28-13-2, the Bruins are first in the Atlantic Division but coming off a loss in Anaheim on Tuesday night. Nevertheless, the Bruins and Kings enter Staples Center on Thursday as the only two teams in the NHL to have allowed less than 100 goals this season.
While they are a very impressing 18-4-2 on home ice, the Bruins are just 10-9-0 away from home. Of course, they may have some good luck on their side as the Kings come in to Thursday having lost six of their last seven while scoring just 10 goals during that stretch. Said offensive slump was most notable on Tuesday night when they hosted the Minnesota Wild. En route to their shootout loss, the Kings peppered the Wild with 40 shots but only managed to score once while getting stymied by netminder Darcy Kuemper on all three attempts in the shootout.
Having registered an assist last game, Jeff Carter looks to continue his streaking ways for Los Angeles as he enters Thursday with the team lead in goals with 15 as four of those came in his last six outings. For Boston, Daniel Paille has scored four goals in his last four games while veteran Jarome Iginla, who meets the Kings for the first time not wearing a Flames uniform, has five goals in his last seven games.
The Bruins are missing some key players, as well. Chris Kelly, Loui Eriksson and Dennis Seidenberg are all out while Milan Lucic did miss his last game but it's unclear whether he'll be able to go on Thursday. This should pose an advantage to the Kings who have a clean bill of health but in all fairness, the same thing was said entering their matchup with the Wild a couple nights earlier - and we all know how that ended up.
It's a battle of two of the last three Stanley Cup champions as the more recent winner looks to rediscover their scoring touch en route to a key win.
Enjoy the game!

"Have a realistic business plan, and enhance your practice of Qi Gong" are the words that summarize the advice rendered by three successful Yo San University graduates at a special well attended panel sponsored by the Yo San University Student Association (YSUSA) on Tuesday November 19, 2013. The alumni panel included George Lamoureux, Karen Gordon and Henry Lee.
Yo San University Co-Founder and Co-Chancellor, Dr. Daoshing Ni, was once again invited to deliver a series of lectures at the Tao Chi Institute in Zurich, Switzerland. The lectures delivered November 6, - 11, 2013 mark the second year in a row that Dr. Dao traveled to Europe to address the Tao Chi students, faculty and graduates and other European practitioners who traveled to Zurich for the lectures.
For more than one reason, spirits were high at the recent Yo San University Alumni Dinner. Whenever a group of Yo San University graduates gather, the spirit of positive Qi, so carefully cultivated during years of study , is inevitably going to be palpable.
All this for $150. And better yet, this is the gift that gives twice. Besides providing a variety of thoughtful items for your loved one, the Yo San Gift Box provides a $100 donation to Yo San University, for which you will receive an official tax deduction donation letter.
When John is not practicing in his clinic or attending class at Yo San University, you may find him ballroom dancing, baking, golfing, taking photographs, or camping. He is currently completing his doctoral studies in Longevity and Healthy Aging.
Gina entered Yo San's Reproductive Medicine and Women's Health DAOM program as the next step in an already long and dynamic history in the field of health. She earned a B.A. in Kinesiology from the University of Colorado at Boulder and a Master's of Science in Oriental Medicine from South West Acupuncture College, also in Boulder Colorado. She also has experience as a fitness and personal trainer, with background studies from the National Academy of Sports Medicine.
Observing at the Tao of Wellness was one of the most exciting and memorable times for me this year, being that I was able to see firsthand our medicine at work amongst an esteemed team of doctors who are dedicated to their craft.
These and many more questions were responded to In a special session conducted on Thursday October 31, 2013, when an enthusiastic group of Yo San University students explored the nuances of tongue and pulse diagnosis.
According to Puttermilech, illness and system imbalance result when the pathways of meridians become blocked. It is the "twist" maneuver that has the potential to clear those blockages.
The end result is an acupuncture needle that will get the job done. The presenters showed magnifications of samples of Seirin and other needles, and the quality and purity points were decidedly on the side of the Seirin product.

Category Archives: Mets Thoughts
METS CHAT ROOM: Game #48; scrub edition.
Fittingly, the deal was pulled last night, announced moments after Santos' game-winning single. Very cosmic.
The timing of the deal was such as to make room on the 25-man roster for Brian Schneider, who was activated from the disabled list for this afternoon's game against the Marlins.
The line-up, where David Wright and Luis Castillo are both rested, is something that would look like the "B" squad in Lakeland.
Here's the line-up:
Angel Pagan, LF
Fernando Martinez, RF
Carlos Beltran, CF
Fernando Tatis, 3B
Daniel Murphy, 1B
Ramon Martinez, 2B
Brian Schneider, C
Wilson Valdez, SS
Tim Redding, P
Five of the starters, including Redding, weren't on the Opening Day roster. Redding gets another start with Oliver Perez ailing on the DL. Perez left his minor league rehab assignment to return to Port St. Lucie, Fl., with discomfort in his knee following his last start for Triple-A Buffalo.
An MRI has diagnosed tendinitis of the patella tendon.
One other thing.
I scanned the comments this morning and disappointed to read some of the dialogue. This really is a heady blog with a lot of intelligent comments and theories. We digressed a little last night. I don't care if you disagree with each other. Hey, passionate fans do that, but please, no cursing at each other.
We're better than that guys. Disagree all you want, be spirited, but this isn't the Wild, Wild West. You can disagree without the attacks.
Mets Chat Room: Game #47: Beltran returns edition.
After being swept in a three-game series at Los Angeles, the Mets rebounded to win five of their next six games. Tonight they hope to continue their roll behind Mike Pelfrey.
Pelfrey is coming off a strong performance at Boston, but the Marlins represent a considerable obstacle. Pelfrey is 1-5 with a 6.12 ERA lifetime against Florida.
Here's tonight's line-up:
Angel Pagan, RF
Luis Castillo, 2B
Carlos Beltran, CF
Gary Sheffield, LF
David Wright, 3B
Fernando Tatis, 1B
Omir Santos, C
Ramon Martinez, SS
Mike Pelfrey, P
NOTES: Alex Cora is at Triple-A Buffalo to begin a minor-league rehab assignment. … Word is Ramon Castro is on the block with Brian Schneider due to be activated from the DL soon.
Was an opportunity wasted?
There's no doubt Manuel talked to Martinez after the 20-year-old rookie gazed at his pop-up, and only failed to run after it was dropped by the catcher.
I'm thinking more should have been made of it, and a mold would have been set had Manuel pulled Martinez from the game with the warning if it ever happens again he'll go to the minor leagues. If such a reprimand scars Martinez, then doesn't it show he's not mentally tough enough?
I throw this out there because Martinez was warned two years ago by Tony Bernazard when he wasn't running out ground balls. Maybe Martinez had a brain cramp, maybe he was upset because he isn't hitting, but it doesn't really matter.
They tell you in Little League that when you hit the ball you run hard, and don't stop running until the play is over. And, you'll know when the play is over.
Lastings Milledge never got it and the Mets gave up on him. Don't you think if Milledge's attitude was better he's still be here? But, Milledge didn't give the Mets hope he'd change.
And, Jose Reyes? Well, they've already lost him. The Mets have coddled Reyes to the point where discipline won't help. There are too many times when Reyes fails to run hard, or loses focus and muffs a play in the field, or give away an at-bat.
What, all of a sudden they are going to clamp down on him? Don't think so.
Martinez is a different story. By all accounts he's a good kid with a load of talent. No ceiling, the scouts say. Now is the time to put a harness on Martinez.
I just wonder if Manuel missed an opportunity last night.
METS CHAT ROOM: Game #46; Santana and the broom.
The odds of doing so tonight are greatly reduced with Johan Santana pitching. Santana is coming off an emotional victory last Friday over the Boston Red Sox.
Daniel Murphy is back at first base tonight, with Fernando Martinez batting seventh and playing right field.
For as long as Jose Reyes is out, it looks as if Angel Pagan will get the lion's share of the time as the leadoff hitter whenever he's in the line-up. Luis Castillo took a few turns there, but manager Jerry Manuel likes him batting second, which I have advocated all along.
Here's tonight's line-up:
Angel Pagan, CF
Luis Castillo, 2B
David Wright, 3B
Gary Sheffield, LF
Daniel Murphy, 1B
Ramon Castro, C
Fernando Martinez, RF
Ramon Martinez, SS
Johan Santana P
Note: Carlos Beltran, who took a cortisone injection in his knee, is on target to return Friday. … Omir Santos was scratched with a bruised shin. … Oliver Perez's knee is still bothering him. … Four of tonight's starters weren't on the Opening Day roster.

The statistic presents the forty most expensive insurance losses worldwide from 1970 to 2013. Hurricane Frances, which occurred in the United States and the Bahamas in 2004, caused insured losses in excess of 6.59 billion U.S. dollars.
Insuring against natural disasters
Insuring is the practice of transferring risk from one entity to another in exchange for payment. It is important, especially if one lives, owns property or a business in an area prone to natural disasters, to take out coverage for a range of storms, catastrophic events and natural disasters that could cause damage to real estate. When considering this type of insurance it is important to ask a lot of the important questions up front. How long will it take for a claim to be settled for example, not all insurers settle claims with the same speed. Many also provide specific exclusions, be they for floods, earthquakes or other types of natural events. A detailed inspection of exclusions in a policy is important in order to find out which coverage is still needed. Obviously, the extent of coverage that one should take out is wholly dependant on the area in which one lives, in the United States, as well as in the rest of the world, there are low risk areas and there are high risk areas. Despite this, no one can be sure where a natural disaster will occur and the severity of the destruction it could bring with it when it does, no one can stop natural disasters or the economic impact that they have but insurance helps to mitigate the loss caused by them.

Comments about Camelbak HOSS 100 Oz. Hydration Pack:
This is a well thought out bag. I researched similar products from Dakine, but while stylish, none of them had the important technical features that I needed in an Epic Mountain Biking pack. The Hoss has enough room for tools and spare parts, lunch, camera, water, and food. It carries comfortably and is extremely well vented, and best of all has a completely waterproof main compartment that has a dry bag closure. The compartment is more difficult to access than a zippered closure but if I am ten miles from the car and the heavens open up, I need my warm clothes and electronic devices to stay dry. This is the only pack on the market that will allow for that event that is so common here in Colorado. I intended to use the Hoss for just mountain biking but it ended up being big enough to use for commuting to work with enough room for my macbook, coffee, and some paperwork and able to prevent the annoying sweaty back. Not many retailers sell this thing. Only one store in Boulder (just over the hill from me) listed it and not many on the internet have it, but it is hands down the best bag out there for its intended use.

The Marche region
Even today Marche remains a largely undiscovered gem in the heart of Italy, sandwiched between the stunning Apennine mountains on its western fringes and the beautiful Adriatic coast to the east.
Perhaps because Marche has historically been an isolated region, sheltered as it is from intrusion by its natural mountain borders to the north, south and west and by the Adriatic Sea, it is only slowly gaining rightful recognition.
The region gets comparatively little mention in the travel media, deferring to the wider fame of neighbouring Tuscany and Umbria. Yet it can justifiably claim to be Italy's very own Garden of Eden.
It boasts lush greenery (often a surprise to visitors) and an enchanting mixture of sunflower fields, abundant woodland, many rivers which wind their way down to a beautiful coastline, and stunning mountain scenery.
Bordering both Umbria and Tuscany, as well as Abruzzo, Lazio and Emilia-Romagna, the region has an identity all of its own.
Walkers, trekkers and nature lovers can also find their feet here, with regional and national parks offering an abundance of outdoor activities, including trekking, mountain biking, paragliding, nature trails, hunting and fishing and ski-ing.
Marche has two national parks, the Monti Sibillini National Park and the Gran Sasso Monti Della Laga National Park.
The Monti Sibillini National Park actively promotes and protects wildlife habitats and has played a key role in building a stable population of wolves and other creatures such as the golden eagle. Wild boar abound and with the help of active re-introduction programmes there are also now signs of the return of the Marsicana brown bear from its stronghold in neighbouring Abruzzo. There are even signs of the return of the secretive and shy lynx.
Rising 572m from the sea near Ancona, Monte Conero is one of Marche's best known landmarks. It is home to a regional park and is an excellent place to see birds such as the marsh harrier and long-legged buzzard, while its coastal waters offer beautiful coved beaches and are ideal for organised boat trips.
The other regional park by the sea is the Colle San Bartolo Regional Park near Gabicce, home to wetlands of national importance.
A myriad of fascinating caves form the central attraction of the inland park, Gola della Rossa Frasassi Regional Park, recognised as the most interesting limestone caves in Italy. Special tours lead you through a series of caves complete with small lakes, stalactites, huge stalagmites and onto the truly cavernous Abisso Ancona, a cave from ground to ceiling fully 240m high.
Sant'Angelo In Pontano
The nearest village, Sant'Angelo in Pontano is a small medieval conurbation comprising 1,500 inhabitants, complete with bars, chemist, bank and restaurants.
For mountain lovers the Monti Sibillini National Park is just a short drive and offers many signed paths for walkers of all levels, from historic town strolls to week long treks immersed in the nature of the park.
Also within easy drive are Macerata and Ascoli Piceno, while the Adriatic Coast is just 30 minutes drive. Seaside resorts such as Porto Sant'Elpidio, Porto San Giorgio and Civitanova Marche are close at hand and just a little further north is the small but breathtaking Conero Riviera.

It's a girl!
It's true! We are expecting our first little girl on February 14, 2012! I'll be honest, I hope she comes earlier for a lot of reasons but I completely trust the Lord in growing our beautiful little princess! Today we met up with a few of our close friends to finally answer the question we've heard a million times since our most recent ultrasound on Friday, "Are you having a boy or a girl?" We didn't do a gender reveal party for Gavin and honestly I never really thought that we would end up having one for our newest baby but once the idea was presented it seemed like a great way to build up the excitement about our new little girl! So Laura and a good friend of ours, Jill, got together yesterday and baked a ton of cupcakes that Laura filled with pink icing and I hunkered down and pushed through putting together 30 cute paddles with my beautiful bride! We've tried to explain to Gavin that pretty soon he'll have a little sister that he'll need to look out for but he's 19 months old and all he can think about are cars, boats, Curious George and milk…so I think we'll need to revisit the whole big brother speech at a later date. In the mean time Laura and I have BIG BIG plans for our little nursery and I'm stepping outside of my comfort zone to put up new trim, redo old furniture and come up with new ideas for shooting my tiny princess once she's here. We couldn't be more excited and we can't thank all of our friends and family enough for loving our growing family! As for a name…yeah…we have absolutely no idea…Laura and I thought we were having another boy! Here's a look at our fun times today!
2 Comments
Yall are so creative and this looks like such a fun afternoon! Congratulations on a precious little girl…for Gavin to love and protect!
Oh goodness, Courtney! Reading this blog and looking at the pictures seriously made me cry!!!! I love you all so much and culdn't be happier for you and Laura and big brother Gavin!!!! I can't wait to see you guys again and meet your beautiful new blessing!!! <3
