7 U.S. Code § 4201 - General provisions
prev | next
(a) Congressional statement of findings
Congress finds that—
(1) the Nation's farmland is a unique natural resource and provides food and fiber necessary for the continued welfare of the people of the United States;
(2) each year, a large amount of the Nation's farmland is irrevocably converted from actual or potential agricultural use to nonagricultural use;
(3) continued decrease in the Nation's farmland base may threaten the ability of the United States to produce food and fiber in sufficient quantities to meet domestic needs and the demands of our export markets;
(4) the extensive use of farmland for nonagricultural purposes undermines the economic base of many rural areas;
(5) Federal actions, in many cases, result in the conversion of farmland to nonagricultural uses where alternative actions would be preferred;
(6) the Department of Agriculture is the agency primarily responsible for the implementation of Federal policy with respect to United States farmland, assuring the maintenance of the agricultural production capacity of the United States, and has the personnel and other resources needed to implement national farmland protection policy; and
(7) the Department of Agriculture and other Federal agencies should take steps to assure that the actions of the Federal Government do not cause United States farmland to be irreversibly converted to nonagricultural uses in cases in which other national interests do not override the importance of the protection of farmland nor otherwise outweigh the benefits of maintaining farmland resources.
(b) Statement of purpose
The purpose of this chapter is to minimize the extent to which Federal programs contribute to the unnecessary and irreversible conversion of farmland to nonagricultural uses, and to assure that Federal programs are administered in a manner that, to the extent practicable, will be compatible with State, unit of local government, and private programs and policies to protect farmland.
(c) Definitions
As used in this chapter—
(1) the term "farmland" includes all land defined as follows:
(A) prime farmland is land that has the best combination of physical and chemical characteristics for producing food, feed, fiber, forage, oilseed, and other agricultural crops with minimum inputs of fuel, fertilizer, pesticides, and labor, and without intolerable soil erosion, as determined by the Secretary. Prime farmland includes land that possesses the above characteristics but is being used currently to produce livestock and timber. It does not include land already in or committed to urban development or water storage;
(B) unique farmland is land other than prime farmland that is used for production of specific high-value food and fiber crops, as determined by the Secretary. It has the special combination of soil quality, location, growing season, and moisture supply needed to economically produce sustained high quality or high yields of specific crops when treated and managed according to acceptable farming methods. Examples of such crops include citrus, tree nuts, olives, cranberries, fruits, and vegetables; and
(C) farmland, other than prime or unique farmland, that is of statewide or local importance for the production of food, feed, fiber, forage, or oilseed crops, as determined by the appropriate State or unit of local government agency or agencies, and that the Secretary determines should be considered as farmland for the purposes of this chapter;
(2) the term "State" means any of the fifty States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands, or any territory or possession of the United States;
(3) the term "unit of local government" means the government of a county, municipality, town, township, village, or other unit of general government below the State level, or a combination of units of local government acting through an areawide agency under State law or an agreement for the formulation of regional development policies and plans;
(4) the term "Federal program" means those activities or responsibilities of a department, agency, independent commission, or other unit of the Federal Government that involve
(B) acquiring, managing, or disposing of Federal lands and facilities. The term "Federal program" does not include construction or improvement projects that on the effective date of this chapter are beyond the planning stage and are in either the active design or construction state; and

Fans can vote on a re-scheduled date for Banner Day at Citi Field
Last week, ESPN released it's Sunday Night Baseball schedule, which includes the Mets and Braves for Sunday, May 26.
May 26 is Banner Day at Citi Field, but the scheduled start time of the game has been moved to 8:05 pm.
The Mets announced on Twitter they are holding a vote to re-schedule Banner Day at Citi Field. The choices are to keep the original date, Saturday, May 11 against the Pirates at 1:10 pm, or Saturday, June 8 against the Marlins at 1:10 pm.
Michael Baron, ContributorThis wasn't the Mets' fault, but I think it's great they've decided not only to consider changing the date of the event, but to allow the fans to choose the date by engaging them through Social Media. I worry holding it on a Sunday Night can have a negative impact on it's future. Hopefully the date gets changed; it will be better for those who want to participate and those who wish to attend the event.

POTSDAM - For the fourth year in row, the Potsdam Community Band will play a concert in Ives Park as part of Potsdam SummerFest. The performance is at 6:30 p.m. Friday, includes music for all ages, and lasts just over one hour.
The concert opens with Henry Fillmores famous march, The Klaxon. Composed in 1929 and subtitled March of the Automobiles, The Klaxon was written for the Cincinnati Automobile Show. Fillmore invented a new instrument for the occasion called a Klaxophone. It consisted of twelve automobile horns, mounted on a table and powered by an automobile battery!
Moving westward, David Holsingers Prairie Dances portrays the hustle and bustle of a Texas cowboy town in those railroad days where the rambunctiousness of the cowhand came face to face with the businesslike demeanor of the mercantile owners and the frontier gentility of the Ladies Society.
Satchmo was a nickname for the great trumpeter and singer Louis Armstrong, and its the title of PCBs next piece on the program. Arranger Ricketts has combined several best-loved Armstrong songs, beginning with Its a Wonderful World and moving into a spirited rendition by the trombones of When the Saints Go Marchin In. The old blues standard, St. Louis Blues, is next and features a Dixieland group within PCB: Scott Fulton on clarinet, Paul Buell on cornet, Gavin MacKellar on trombone, and Ian MacKellar on tuba. Satchmo! finishes with the theme from Hello, Dolly, Armstrongs Grammy Award-winning1964 hit.
Candlewood Capers, by world-renowned Potsdam composer Arthur Frackenpohl, is a light, fun change of pace for the Band and the audience. Professor Emeritus at the Crane School of Music, Dr. Frackenpohl has over 400 instrumental and vocal compositions to his credit.
Espa�a Ca�i presents a well-known bit of music in its first 8 bars, with a fragment that is heard not only in Spanish bullfights but that has been used in the US to fire up baseball crowds. As a famous pasodoble, Espa�a Ca�i is popular among ballroom dancers and figure skaters.
Itaru Sakai was still in high school when he composed his first work for band, The Seventh Night of July. In Japan, July the seventh is known as Tanabata. Festivals are held throughout Japan to celebrate the reunion of Orihime (the star Altair) and Hikoboshi (the star Vega) in the night sky.
Music from the beloved 1964 movie Mary Poppins includes A Spoonful of Sugar, Chim Chim Cher-ee, Stay Awake, and Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. The Sherman brothers music has been arranged by Alfred Reed, himself the composer of numerous superb works for Wind Band.
Turning to a piece of original music, PCB will next perform three movements of Jan Van der Roosts composition, Pustza. The Puszta is the a vast prairie in Hungary, where gypsies often roam with their wild horses. The alternation of temperamental and melancholic themes and moods is typical for the gipsy music as are the many tempo changes. The instrumentation is very bright and colorful, bringing all sections of the symphonic wind band to the fore.
Video Games Live – Part I, arranged for Band by Ralph Ford, contains music from several games. PCB will perform the first movement, the Halo Theme, composed by Marty ODonnell, an American composer known for his work on musical pieces for video games such as the Myth series, Oni, and the Halo trilogy.
To finish the concert, Potsdam Community Band will perform one of John Philip Sousas later marches, The Gallant Seventh, which features the trumpet section. Sousa wrote this march for the 7th Regiment, 107th Infantry, of the New York National Guard. Its conductor, Major Francis Sutherland, had been a cornetist in Sousas band before joining the Army during the First World War. The march was premiered by members of the 7th Regiments band and of Sousas band at the NY Hippodrome in November 1922. Written during the last decade of Sousas career, it is considered one of his best.
Potsdam Community Band, directed by Theresa Witmer, is open to all those who play a band instrument. The group plays two to three concerts each year; the next concert will be in January. Anyone interested in playing with the band can visit the website, www.potsdamband.org, or contact PCBs Personnel Manager Ron Berry, at 265-2883.

LOWVILLE The third annual Black River Watershed Conference will be held here early next month.
It helps us remain regionally connected, said John K. Bartow Jr., executive director at Tug Hill Commission, which is organizing the event with the Lewis County Soil and Water Conservation District and the state Department of Environmental Conservation.
The conference is slated for 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. June 4 at the Lowville fire hall on North State Street, with registration to begin at 8:45 a.m.
A $15 entry fee will cover lunch and refreshments provided by the Lowville Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary.
Were getting a very good response, Mr. Bartow said.
Speakers will cover a range of topics including invasive species, recreation, economic development, stormwater and current and ongoing Black River Watershed projects.
This year, were really trying to get a measurement of progress, Mr. Bartow said.
The focus of watershed development tends to be both on improving water quality and residents quality of life through improved economic opportunities, he said.
Therefore, presentations on tangible results of both goals, including one on state regional economic development funding for communities in the watershed, are being planned.
Its nice to talk about things, Mr. Bartow said. Its another thing to get things done.
The Black River Watershed encompasses 1.2 million acres in Lewis, Jefferson, Herkimer, Oneida and Hamilton counties, including the city of Watertown, 37 towns and 18 villages.
While communities in different parts of the immense watershed obviously have divergent needs and wants, the intent of the conference is to identify common goals that may be pursued collectively, Mr. Bartow said.
That is particularly important in a time of dwindling grant funding, he said.
Were a bigger political force together than we are individually, Mr. Bartow said.
The annual conference, held in Croghan and Carthage the past two years, was one of the recommendations included in the Black River Watershed Management Plan produced in 2010.
It helps us keep the document alive, Mr. Bartow said.
Registered attendance at the first two conferences was 59 and 61, respectively, and more than 50 people were already registered for this years event at the end of the day Thursday, he said.

We begin with a positive development, via CNN:
Ferguson police chief resigns, says it's 'hard pill to swallow'
Embattled Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson resigned Wednesday, a week after a scathing Justice Department report slammed his department. Jackson and the city "have agreed to a mutual separation," Ferguson officials announced.
"It's a really hard pill to swallow," Jackson said in a text message responding to CNN's request for comment. He also confirmed his resignation in a letter to Ferguson's mayor.
"It is with profound sadness that I am announcing I am stepping down from my position as chief of police for the city of Ferguson, Missouri," Jackson said, adding that serving the city as police chief "has been an honor and a privilege."
From BuzzFeed News, young-uns quick on the trigger:
Younger Police Officers Are More Likely To Shoot People Than Older Ones
Research shows that younger officers are more likely to be involved in shootings, even though age is rarely mentioned as a factor in the aftermath. "It's a dirty little secret that we're hiring police officers too young," a veteran Boston officer said.
The age of an officer is perhaps the least-discussed factor in a fatal encounter with police, and the maturity of an officer rarely comes up in news conferences after an incident. Age wasn't mentioned in the Justice Department's deep, 86-page analysis of Brown's fatal shooting released last week.
Yet research shows that younger officers are more likely to be involved in shootings, and that the risk of shootings declines as officers age. That may be because younger officers are more likely to be working on the street than behind a desk, according to researchers, but it could also be that younger officers are predisposed to react with deadly force.
Unions for the Ferguson Police Department, New York City Police Department, and Cleveland Police Department did not respond to requests for comment.
What's a little snooping between friends?, via the Guardian:
Australian spy officer was sent to New Zealand to lead new surveillance unit
- New revelations also show NZ's spy agency, GCSB, had access to NSA program to hack phones and computers of targets in the Asia-Pacific
Australia's defence intelligence agency sent an officer to work with New Zealand's spy agency to help them develop their cyber capabilities and lead a new operational unit, new documents from NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden reveal.
On Wednesday the New Zealand Herald and the Intercept published new revelations about the role of New Zealand's spy agency, the Government Communications Security Bureau (GCSB) which disclose new details about its role gathering intelligence from Vietnam, China, India, Pakistan, Japan, South Pacific nations and other countries.
The disclosures also reveal that the GCSB had access to an NSA program codenamed WARRIORPRIDE used to access phones and computers that "can collect against an Asean target". A March 2013 report describes New Zealand working towards improving its cyber capabilities to improve detection, discovery of new tools and disruption of the source of intrusions.
From the Verge, flying high to get the downlow:
The CIA helped develop planes that scrape cell phone data
The US may be using cellphone-sniffing planes to find suspects across the world, according to a new report from The Wall Street Journal. In November, the Journal revealed the US Marshal's secret program to locate specific fugitive through airplane equipped to mimic cell towers. Flying over an urban area, the planes can pinpoint the location of a single number amid a million or more phones. The new report shows the technology first originated with the CIA, which guided the initial deployment of the planes by the Marshal Service. Furthermore, Journal sources say continues to be used to locate intelligence targets overseas.
If true, the report unveils a powerful weapon in US intelligence efforts abroad, but also reveals a troubling trend of foreign intelligence tools used for domestic law enforcement purposes. The plane-mounted cellphone detector is a potentially ingenious tool for intelligence gathering, but it seems to have moved from CIA intelligence work to domestic fugitive tracking with little to no oversight, a troubling reminder of how easily tools designed for the War on Terror can be put to domestic ends. Electronic privacy advocates have already raised doubt about the practice. "There's a lot of privacy concerns in something this widespread, and those concerns only increase if we have an intelligence agency coordinating with them," the EFF's Andrew Crocker told the Journal.
Norse cops busted for doing what American cops — and spooks — do routinely, via TheLocal.no:
Norway police broke law with fake base stations
Norway's Police Security Service (PST) persistently violated the law as it established a network of fake mobile phone base stations across Oslo last year, Norway's Aftenposten has revealed.
According to the paper, police and PST deliberately ignored a requirement that they should inform the country's telecoms authority before setting up 'IMSI catchers', which mimic mobile base stations, allowing their operators to intercept and eavesdrop on mobile phone calls made nearby.
The newspaper last December identified a series of "fake base stations" outside Norway's parliament, outside its government headquarters, and outside the residence of the prime minister, using a German CryptoPhone 500 to identify them.
It now appears that many, if not all of the devices, were set up by Norway's own security services.
From Agence France-Presse, a Dutch metadata and email collection defeat:
Dutch court nixes data storage law, says privacy breached
A Dutch court on Wednesday struck down a law requiring telecoms and Internet service providers to store their clients' private phone and email data, saying it breached European privacy rules.
"The judge ruled that data retention is necessary and effective to combat serious crime. Dutch legislation however infringes on the individual's right to privacy and the protection of personal data," the Hague district court said.
"The law therefore contravenes the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union," the court said in a statement. Seven groups and organisations including privacy watchdog Privacy First and the Dutch Association of Journalists dragged the Dutch state to court last month over the issue.

Dropbox Android SDK Flaw Exposes Mobile Users to Attack: IBM
IBM researchers discovered a flaw in Dropbox's Android SDK which can leave mobile users vulnerable to attack.
The issue was not in the Dropbox service or the mobile app itself, but rather in the company's SDK that third-party developers include to let users easily connect to their Dropbox files, Michael Montecillo, director of security intelligence at IBM Security, told SecurityWeek.
The vulnerability (CVE-2014-8889) was present in the SDK versions 1.5.4 through 1.5.1.
From the Associated Press, Cold War 2.0 intensifies:
Ukraine's neighbor Poland to test resilience to attack
Poland will hold an exercise this year to test its resilience to a "crisis" like the conflict in neighboring Ukraine, President Bronislaw Komorowski said Wednesday.
Komorowski spoke to reporters during an annual meeting of army commanders and the defense minister that examines Poland's defense potential and outlines key security tasks.
He said the nation needs to raise its defense potential in the face of threats, including the armed conflict that involves Poland's two neighbors, Russia and Ukraine.

2 Journalists murdered in Guatemala
Two journalists, one who worked for the daily Prensa Libre and another employed by Radio Nuevo Mundo, were murdered in front of a government office building in Suchitepequez, a province in Guatemala, emergency services officials said.
Danilo Lopez and Federico Salazar were gunned down on Tuesday in the city of Mazatenango's central park by two individuals riding a motorcycle.
Lopez, a reporter for Prensa Libre, was pronounced dead at the scene, while Salazar, who worked for Radio Nuevo Mundo, died at a hospital in the city.
From RT, the Hexagon at high alert:
France to keep 10,000 troops on streets as terror threat remains high
As the threat of attacks by Islamist extremists remains high in France, President Francois Hollande has decided to continue the deployment of 10,000 troops on the streets across the country.
"The threat of terrorist attack against our country remains high. The head of state has decided to maintain the level of the army on the national territory at 10,000 troops in support of security forces from the Interior Ministry," Hollande's office said in a statement after a meeting of senior ministers, AFP reported.
A total of 7,000 troops will be monitoring and protecting religious buildings that are "particularly threatened," the statement added.
From TheLocal.it, ISIS insanity:
Italian police: 'Isis flag' was jacket in tree
Police called to investigate an alleged Isis flag hanging outside an apartment building in Italy made a surprise discovery, finding what they feared may be extremist propaganda was, in fact, a resident's washing put out to dry.
Police were called to an apartment block in Porto Recanati, on Italy's eastern coast, after locals raised the alarm that an Isis sympathizer may be within their midst.
The officers searched the building and questioned residents, but were unable to recover the mystery black cloth spotted hanging from a tree next to the apartment block.
On further investigation police discovered that the supposed propaganda tool was nothing more than a jacket, swept into the trees after being hung out to dry, Corriere della Sera reported on Wednesday.
From Agence France-Presse, Britain's NSA goes all how-to:
UK spies write 'how to catch a terrorist' guide
Secrecy is a cornerstone of spycraft, but Britain's GCHQ communications agency has gone public with a guide on how to catch a "terrorist" as the government calls for increased online snooping powers.
In an apparent effort to make the secret services more transparent, the five-step guide illustrated with the image of an old-school spy in a trenchcoat was published on the monitoring agency's website.
Entitled "How does an analyst catch a terrorist?", it takes readers through the ways in which GCHQ analysts identify a suspicious stranger spotted overseas.
Under the scenario, the guide says an MI6 source based overseas spots a leader of the Islamic State group handing a stranger a message containing information "that will cause carnage across London".

text: The PSS Shaft Seal Packless Sealing System is a dripless stuffing box and packing gland replacement for sailboat and power boat drivetrains. The dripless shaft seal is a mechanical seal that uses a self-aligning carbon-graphite stator to ensure a 100% watertight seal with proven reliability. This packless seal will eliminate shaft wear and minimize corrosion. The PYI PSS Dripless Shaft Seal is the number one selling marine mechanical seal worldwide and is installed as standard equipment by many of the world's most reputable boat builders & yards. How Does The PSS Mechanical Shaft Seal Work?A mechanical shaft seal is created by the contact of a turning surface against a stationary surface. In the case of the PSS Dripless Shaft Seal, the stationary surface is a carbon flange held in contact against a stainless steel rotor which turns with the shaft. The carbon flange is attached to the boat by a nitrile bellow which, with the help of water pressure, produces a constant contact between the carbon and the stainless steel ring. These type of seals are unaffected by engine motion or vibrations. The result is a 100% watertight and totally maintenance-free dripless shaft seal. Available for shafts from 20mm to 95mm. Larger sizes available upon request. Please use our 'Product Inquiry' Form, or call 1-800-454-6960 for larger sizes.

|Beech Mountain Sewage Spilled in Storm
|Written by Steve Frank
|Wednesday, 08 May 2013 05:49
As flood waters follow the river paths down from the High Country, the flood issues from the storm system we're still under continue, with the Catawba River basin spilling over, flooding many homes near the shores and coves. But another incident from the storm in the High Country
may cause some serious health concerns—a 75,600 gallon spill of untreated waste water from a pump station belonging to Beech Mountain. The town, following state law, filed a release to the public on the spill, saying that between Monday and Tuesday, the untreated waste spilled into Buckeye Creek and into the Watauga River basin. The release says the state is investigating, but there is no information about abatement or precautions for residents.

In Delhi, denim-clad teenagers skip about the streets with cell phones plastered to their ears listening to the latest Bollywood track. Mere miles away on the slopes of a nearby rural village, cows move freely down dirt roads past women in saris preparing midday meals by hand. This is India: a contradiction in culture, in time, and in history, and one of the few places on earth where historical change unfolds in real time before your eyes.

Day 6: Experience the regal trappings of the Amber Palace and take an elephant ride up to the ramparts. The afternoon is yours to do as you please: Take a kite-flying lesson, visit a craft market for food shopping and tasting, or take in a Bollywood movie.

The final projects for 3rd Year at the Welsh School of Architecture (2010/2011) revolved around three different briefs, all in the city of Trieste in Italy:
1. The Bubble
2. Sacred Spaces
3. Ghosts
Student took these ideas in varying directions, for example:
Andra Antone chose to set up a stage for the world of fashion, discussing the contradictory world of design and the ambiguous environment which is located close to the main railway station in Trieste: "Trieste, the bubble in space and time".
Katherine Jones explored the idea of memory as a spine of our ghostly existence. The drama was set up against the background of Trieste's genius loci, the harbour and its history: "Ghosts".
William Sinclair tested notions of history through the idea of skeletal remains. Slices of disused ship hulls from the Mediterranean Sea were arranged structurally in the former docks of Trieste. New concrete masses were added, anchoring the set-up and performing as a new flesh – a new reality: "Fragments of Trieste".
Timothy Skinner investigated the urban condition of Trieste through the in-betweens of inside and outside-ness. At a key location for the juxtaposition of harbour and city grid – the very place where the exchange of culture happens – a place for a multi-faith centre: "Sacred Spaces".

"The idea current in some circles that spirituality has nothing to do with morality is an unproductive and even dangerous will-o'-the-wisp. If spirituality is not embodied here and now, it is nothing at all."In the preface Feuerstein writes that "Yoga is not to be measured by the glamour of its spectacular physical postures or fabulous states of meditation." Instead he notes that yoga is a spiritual tradition "concerned with personal growth and the goal of self-transcendence to the point of perfect inner freedom." As such, this book as little to do with the yoga we've become familiar with, no postures, no exercises. Instead, Yoga Morality focuses on the ethical side of things, as Feurerstein sees it. Read More

Olympic Holidays add extra flight
Olympic Holidays has responded to demand from passengers for more Greek alternatives by putting on a weekly flight to Rhodes throughout the 2011 summer season.
Mary Murphy, Olympic's Business Development Manager in Northern Ireland, said that the weekly Rhodes flights would operate on a Wednesday through to mid-September from Belfast International. Rhodes has always been a very popular destination with Northern Ireland travellers," said Mary. "Places like Ixia and Lyndos are stunningly beautiful, and of course Falaraki will appeal to the younger, livelier breed of holidaymakers." Olympic, which has about 7,000 seats on offer from Belfast this summer season to Greece and Cyprus, commences the Rhodes programme on May 25 through to September 14.

Best villain of all time with one of the best quotes of his: ''You don't know the power of the Dark Side''
Do you like cult and classic movies? Do you play video games? Are you obsessed with TV Series? Do you call yourself geek? Well then, as another nerd, I have some special artworks for you. I design typographic artworks. These artworks are illustrated on AI and then edited on PS to give painting effect and texture. I also try to be as minimalist as possible. Yes, I love simple things. I find them more effective. Also, you don't have to be a nerd to be able to like my works. Cause I make drawings / paintings in a traditional way. So yay, welcome fine art lovers too! Love, Ayse D

Yes, the season just started. But for once, just once, I'd like to see some of our "prospects" start out hot and stay hot for the year.
Not happening.
Givens, Schoop, Hoes, Avery, Bell, Rowell, etc.... a whole lot of nothing.
Anytime one of these guys decides to start hitting will be fine by me....

The line will not bury in reels, knots are stronger and don�t slip, and abrasion resistance is greatly enhanced. Its compact diameter reduces wind knots and rod tip wraps. In other words, it solves the problems anglers have been experiencing with other braids! You�ll cast further and feel your lures working like never before with unprecedented performance. Because the line has near zero stretch, even the most subtle bites will be transmitted back to your hands for immediate response.
When it�s time to set the hook, a flick of the wrist will stretch necks! Grand Slam Braid is the absolute pinnacle of fishing performance. Its a line that can make anyone fish more like a pro!

Feature and Technical Overview
Local Navigation
Support for multiple payment types
The Payment Service permits BlackBerry device users to purchase digital goods by using PayPal, a credit card, or wireless service provider billing (if supported by the user's wireless service provider). The purchase process is designed to be consistent for all users, regardless of the type of payment they choose to use.
The revenue that you receive for the sale of digital goods remains the same regardless of the payment type that the user chooses.
Support for multiple license models
The Payment Service supports the sale of consumable digital goods, digital goods that require a one-time payment, and subscription-based digital goods. Consumable digital goods are purchased by users for each use. One-time payment digital goods are purchased by users only once, and the Payment Service server blocks subsequent purchases. Subscription-based digital goods are purchased initially by users, and then users are charged at regular intervals for continued use of the digital goods.
Simple and flexible implementation
The Payment Service SDK provides the functionality to handle the login and confirmation screens for a purchase so that you don't have to develop them yourself. The Payment Service also provides flexibility by allowing you to control the look and feel for how you present your users with purchase options and for how you deliver digital goods to your users.
Highly secure and reliable payment processing
To purchase digital goods, users must authenticate themselves with the Payment Service server by providing their BlackBerry ID credentials in the application. The Payment Service server handles the communication with payment providers (PayPal, credit card companies, and wireless service providers) so that you don't need to set up these relationships yourself and implement support for each payment provider in your application.
Thorough testing capabilities
The Payment Service SDK can support live testing. When testing your application with the live Payment Service server, you can configure a BlackBerry ID account and initiate test purchases of your digital goods without actually charging the account.

Two teens describe their summers on the BBYO experiences of ILTC and ILSI.
Sheri Rosenberg has returned to Nashville to lead the local Jewish youth group for high school students and its counterpart for junior high students, BBYO Connect. As assistant BBYO regional director, she will also have responsibility for helping oversee BBYO chapters in New Orleans and Huntsville, AL.
After a summer apart, the 12 chapters of SJR have respectively kicked off their 2015-2016 year. There was much excitement; it is rough every year to switch from seeing your friends and chapter members every weekend to not seeing them for three months. With everyone scattered at sleepaway camps, BBYO summer programs, or busy with summer jobs, chapter kickoffs couldn't come soon enough.
Glen Ridge High School freshmen Jessica Muney and Isabella Rossi, in consultation with Judi Youngman, senior executive regional director of the BBYO Greater Jersey Hudson River Region, will open a local coed chapter of the teen-led organization

Hi, right on friends and soulful people.
Over the years, updating my playlists here has not been one of my strong suits <sheepish grin>, though it is my main goal to inform all listeners about the music I'm playing so that you can enjoy it for yourself again and again. Thanks to the new WWOZ playlist reporting software, it's easier than ever for me to archive my playlists in written form for you. Now, and as a result, below you'll find playlists for several of my most recent shows (including my Saturday "Soul Power," as well as a few other shows I've filled in and guest-hosted for). I'll keep updating you in this way. Also feel free to follow me at facebook.com/djsoulsister and via twitter.com/djsoulsister. Thank you for requesting these playlists, and feel free to let me know if you have any questions about the music I love to share with you.
All the best in rare groove!

Stories often come in twos. Like Banana Joe, the affenpinscher who won Westminster, kind of resembles the Mexican "ape woman" tale that is in the news. What do you think:
In researching this story, I came across this amazing headline: Does A Hairy Back Ever Get A 'Holler Back?' Haha, holler back, get it? The actual caption of the picture: This dude really has some Man Feathers! Yikes, sorry. Do not go to the link if grizzlies scare you.
As a side note, this really warmed my heart: He (Banana Joe) speaks German, Dutch, Spanish and English," co-owner and breeder Mieke Cooijmans offered.

So, how many of you caught the made for TV movie, "Change of Plans", last Saturday night on FOX? If so, what did you think? If not, you missed out on an uplifting family movie that was both humorous and heartwarming.
If you did not happen to catch it, here is a sneak-peak:
"Change of Plans" Movie Synopsis:
Up to this point, Sally Danville's life has played out just as she hoped it would. As a beautiful and free-spirited musician, she and her fighter-pilot husband, Jason, live life on the go, free of domestic responsibilities. But with a single phone call from Child & Family Services case worker, Dorothy (Phylicia Rashad, "The Cosby Show"), she learns that things don't always go according to plan. Sally (Brooke White, "American Idol") is met with the news that her best friend from college has died in a tragic accident on a Peace Corps mission and has named Sally the legal guardian of her four kids – 3 of them adopted from third-world countries. Now Sally and Jason (Joe Flanigan, "Stargate Atlantis") must quickly learn to parent this instant family and help the kids deal with the culture clash of life in America.The story is both humorous and heartwarming, revealing how fulfilling life can be when you look beyond your own plans and invest in the lives of others.
Buy It: "Change of Plans" will be hitting shelves later this spring.
