Agriculture prospects for the year ahead are uncertain, given an extended drought in southern and eastern Idaho and throughout the United States.
But many growers and producers are cautiously optimistic for 2013, provided the spring brings enough rain and demand for commodities remain high.
Local agronomists expect a solidly average year.
Wheat and barley growers are most optimistic. Demand and prices remained high for wheat and barley throughout 2012 compared to the flagging price of potatoes.
Perhaps the greatest uncertainty continues to be found in the cattle and dairy industries, which remain beset with high feed costs. Bovine producers are optimistic, however, that production costs and sale prices will remain steady this year or even show slight improvement.
Potato farmers are hoping for improved prices after a dismal sales year in 2012.
"I think prices are going to improve into next year, because it's pretty bad now," said Keith Esplin, the executive director for the Potato Growers of Idaho.
Ideal weather in 2012 caused higher-than-expected yields statewide, Esplin said.
Higher yields created a surplus and lowered prices.
Last year ended with potato prices between $8 and $9 per hundredweight for 70-pound Idaho Burbank and Norkotah varieties, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Marketing Service.
Prices were down sharply from the $14 to $18 per hundredweight at the end of 2011.
As a result of overproduction and low costs, farmers are expected to plant fewer potatoes in 2013 and increase acreage of wheat and barley.
Idaho wheat was at a premium price in 2012 as wheat growers elsewhere in the country and abroad were hit hard by drought, Idaho Wheat Commissioner Gordon Gallop said.
While drought conditions did hurt some dryland farmers in eastern Idaho, for the most part, the state's wheat crop went largely unscathed.
Locally, wheat varieties range from $7.50 per bushel to $8.30 per bushel, according to the Idaho Barley Commission.
Barley averages about $12.60 per hundredweight.
"Most of Idaho did pretty well, prices held strong and things look pretty positive going into next year," Gallop said.
Crops in trouble elsewhere in the country are keeping prices up, he said.
Hay growers had another good year, although not as good as the record prices of 2011.
The price of hay averaged $190 to $230 per ton, according to the Idaho Hay and Forage Association -- down from the $240 to $260 per ton at the end of 2011.
Despite the good price, association President Will Ricks doesn't expect increased hay acreage statewide, due to better returns and lower input costs of growing wheat.
Ricks said he's concerned for dryland farmers who were unable to produce a successful crop in 2012.
"It's pretty hard to produce dry-farm hay without rain," he said. "But if it rains in the spring, it's likely the price and demand for hay will go down."
High grain and hay prices are good for Idaho growers, but the resulting feed costs have put a significant dent into the profits of Idaho cattlemen.
Cattle producers still are faring well, however, because of the high cost of calves and ready-to-slaughter cows.
"The beef industry is poised for another good year, but that's contingent on this drought," said Richard Savage, past president of the Idaho Cattle Association. "We've been fortunate in Idaho, because irrigation helped us make it though another dry year."
Savage's concern is that a dry 2013 would drive feed costs higher, which could cut even more into cattlemen's profits.
Idaho feed lots are struggling due to the high cost of buying calves and feed. Cow and calf ranchers are faring better as most grow their own feed. Nationwide, cattle herds remain small, which has kept demand and prices high.
Savage expects Idaho's 2013 herd size and demand to remain about the same as last year.
"The demand is staying pretty high," Savage said. "If we can have a year where the whole country gets moisture, we just might to set some records."
While high feed prices are a major concern for Idaho's dairy industry, there may be a light at the end of the tunnel in 2013, said Bob Naerebout, executive director of the United Dairymen of Idaho.
"We'll be making money this year, but margins will be tight," Naerebout said. "The supply of milk in Idaho is still showing a positive growth."
The supply of Class III milk, used to produce cheese, has grown by 2.5 percent since 2011.
Idaho milk production has grown slowly, but steadily, since 2009. Class III milk prices are averaging about 18.50 per hundredweight, Naerebout said.
The biggest boon for Idaho dairymen is the new Chobani Yogurt factory that opened in Twin Falls last month. The factory already is affecting milk prices in a positive way as other Idaho dairy factories adjust prices to compete.
"Producers are cautiously optimistic," Naerebout said. "There are some profits to be made in the futures market, but there are a lot of different factors that could still change where the market is."

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Long before Christopher Chaney made headlines by hacking into the email accounts of such stars as Scarlett Johansson and Christina Aguilera, two other women say he harassed and stalked them online.
The women, who both knew Chaney, say their lives have been irreparably damaged by his actions. One has anxiety and panic attacks; the other is depressed and paranoid. Both say Chaney was calculated, cruel and creepy: he sent nude photos they had taken of themselves to their family members.
Their accounts as cybervictims serve as a cautionary tale for those, even major celebrities, who snap personal, and sometimes revealing photos.
Chaney, 35, of Jacksonville, Fla., is set to be sentenced Monday and could face up to 60 years in prison after pleading guilty to nine felony counts, including wiretapping and unauthorized access to a computer, for hacking into email accounts of Aguilera, Johansson and Mila Kunis.
Aguilera said in a statement that although she knows that she's often in the limelight, Chaney took from her some of the private moments she shares with friends.
"That feeling of security can never be given back and there is no compensation that can restore the feeling one has from such a large invasion of privacy," Aguilera said.
Prosecutors said Chaney illegally accessed the email accounts of more than 50 people in the entertainment industry between November 2010 and October 2011. Aguilera, Kunis and Johansson agreed to have their identities made public with the hopes that the exposure about the case would provide awareness about online intrusion.
The biggest spectacle in the case was the revelation that nude photos taken by Johansson herself and meant for her then-husband Ryan Reynolds were taken by Chaney and put on the Internet. The "Avengers" actress is not expected to attend the hearing, but she has videotaped a statement that may be shown in court.
Some of Aguilera's photos appeared online after Chaney sent an email from the account of her stylist, Simone Harouche, to Aguilera asking the singer for scantily clad photographs, prosecutors said.
Chaney forwarded many of the photographs to two gossip websites and another hacker, but there wasn't evidence he profited from his scheme, authorities said.
For the two women, who were only identified in court papers by their initials, their encounters with Chaney went from friendly to frightening.
One of the women, identified by the initials T.B., said she first met Chaney online in 1999 when she was 13 years old. She began talking with a girl named "Jessica" that later turned out to actually be Chaney.
Chaney figured out his victims' email passwords and security questions and set a feature to forward a copy of every email they received to an account he controlled.
The woman said that in February 2009 her friends contacted her and let her know that several nude photos of her were uploaded to a public gallery. A year later, Chaney sent a link to a photo-sharing website he created and had her nude pictures sent to her father.
She said she spends several hours a week monitoring the Internet for her personal information and breaks into a sweat whenever she receives a Google alert email notifying her that her name has been mentioned online.

text: Seven weeks ago, the grapes in Bow & Arrow's gamay noir were on the vine. Four weeks ago, they were in the urban winery's fermentation tanks in the basement of the Bindery building on Northeast Sandy Boulevard. Now, they're in $15 bottles at the Woodsmen Market and other shops where strong young juice is sold. Oregon's answer to France's Beaujolais nouveau, this juicy red is meant to be uncorked as quickly as possible after the ceremonial release on the third Thursday of November. I sampled the French version at a Multnomah Athletic Club fete last week, but strongly preferred this local take: It's boldly fruity, pleasantly loud and as gluggable as advertised. Recommended.

Illinois State University's Board of Trustees today approved tuition, fees, and room and board rates for new freshman and transfer students for the 2014-15 academic year.
New undergraduate, full-time students from Illinois will pay $349 per credit hour in tuition for the 2014-15 academic year. That rate is $7 more per credit hour, or 2.05 percent, than was charged last year. New students will continue to pay this rate through summer of 2018.
New out-of-state, full-time undergraduate students will pay $602 per credit hour for the 2014-15 academic year. That rate is a $12, or 2.03 percent, increase per credit hour from the 2013-14 academic year. The rate will continue through the summer of 2018.
Illinois State includes its mandatory fees in the four-year guarantee, assuring students and parents that fee rates will not change from year to year. The mandatory fees for the 2014-15 academic year for full-time, new students will be $78.66 per credit hour, an increase of $1.54, or 2.0 percent, per credit hour from last year. The increase will be used for operational costs, to provide for debt service and to meet repair and replacement reserve requirements.
Residence hall rates depend on the type of room (multiple occupancy, single or super single), with rates increasing by 2.5 percent for the 2014-15 academic year. Students will pay $5,282 for a multiple occupancy room, $7,130 for a multiple occupancy room in a suite, $7,024 for a single room, $8,080 for a super single, $8,186 for a single in a suite and $9,030 for a super single in a suite.
Dining rates remain unchanged from the previous academic year. A residential plan that includes seven days of unlimited meals will cost $4,472, or five days of unlimited meals will cost $4,134. A traditional plan of 19 meals will cost $4,688, or 14 meals will cost $4,316. A 225 Block plan will cost $4,102 and will include 225 meals per semester, with meals expiring at the end of each semester.

A Philadelphia abortionist has been charged with 8 counts of murder.
Dr. Kermith Gosnell was arrested after a woman died following a botched abortion. Prosecutors charge that he also killed 7 infants who were born alive after he illegally attempted late-term abortions. He has also been under investigation for providing improper prescriptions for drugs.

Some deluded soul commented that there would be many more such cases if abortion were legalized. What a justification! If they only would open their eyes to the carnage already taking place in the name of "women's health".

This report doesn't report the 8th count was a woman who died of a perforated uterus because of the good doctor's recklessness.

Nepalese Student Association
About NSA
Latest Updates
Nepalese Student Association (NSA) at Kansas State University was born in the summer of 2006 as the need to get organised for the burgeoning Nepali community became obvious. It became part of the university family as it was established as a registered student association. Its main objective, therefore, is to serve the so-called Nepali community of the Nepali student population as well as their family and friends.We provide information and assistance to new members of our community. We seek to be a forum from which we could inform and educate about the Nepali identity as well as its unique culture and heritage. We also strive to join hands with other organizations and partake in various programs to benefit the student population at large.

Recently, I showed Lily how to give Eskimo kisses.
As with everything a 2-year-old does, she delivers them with enthusiasm — grabbing my face with her little hands and smooshing her button nose against mine, giggling all the while. It's a wonderful, and on some days a little snotty, experience.
A while back, my neighbor Scott was laughing about having to give his daughter, Christie, Eskimo kisses and a high five while they were out shopping. He said he could feel people staring at them, but he didn't care.
"I still look at her as a little girl," he said.
Christie will be 28 on Dec. 7, just two days before I turn 31.
Even before she was born, her mom, Georgia, suspected that something wasn't quite right with her. The baby hardly moved while she was pregnant; at 5 months, when they couldn't detect a heartbeat, they thought she'd died in utero.
She had an amnio done, but it said she was going to have a normal, healthy female.
Christie was due on Christmas (which inspired her name) but was delivered by an emergency C-section when Georgia's water broke weeks earlier.
Right away, Georgia knew this baby was different than the three sons she'd delivered. Christie's eyes were deeply recessed and she had difficulty sucking, which made feeding her a nightmare.
The doctors said the baby was fine and sent her home.
Georgia took Christie to the pediatrician, who referred her to Hershey Medical Center. A team of doctors there examined the baby and said there was nothing wrong with her.
"I don't care what they said, I couldn't feed my own baby," Georgia told me recently. "She made this horrible noise when she ate and she turned purple."
It would take Christie an hour to swallow 2 ounces of milk. She never cried for food; Georgia always had to wake her up to eat. She also didn't do the things a normal baby would do, like roll over or crawl.
She was like a blob, Georgia said.
Eventually, they took Christie back to Hershey, where doctors would sometimes spend whole days photographing her and drawing blood. They diagnosed her with Prader-Willi syndrome — a congenital disease that affects muscle tone and mental ability, among other symptoms.
Babies with Prader-Willi often have trouble eating as infants and struggle to gain weight, but then as children develop an intense craving for food, which can lead to uncontrollable weight gain and obesity.
Georgia read that people with Prader-Willi will go to any length to get food — even eating trash or dog food. Parents often have to padlock the refrigerator to prevent binges.
But that never happened to Christie. To this day, Georgia hesitates to say Christie has the disease — it doesn't quite fit. She doesn't know what's wrong with her daughter, and she's long since stopped trying to figure it out.
When you first find out something's wrong with your child, you think that by finding out what it is, you'll be able to fix it, she said. "But you can't fix it."
Instead, she and Scott have just accepted Christie for who she is.
When I talk to Georgia, it often strikes me how similar our lives are.
We're both stay-at-home moms.
Our children rely on us to help them cut their food, bathe, get dressed and brush their teeth.
Our lives revolve around their routines: Lily would be devastated if "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse" didn't show up on the TV every morning at 8, and Christie would be devastated if Pat Sajak and Vanna White weren't on every night at 7.
Both go down for a nap at 1. Road trips with Jovie and Lily can be cumbersome. During the last vacation Georgia and Scott attempted with Christie — a trip to Cape May, N.J., in May — they had to come home early when Christie got pink eye.
But Christie is not a 2-year-old in a 28-year-old's body.
She's almost deaf and her speech isn't always clear, but she understands more about the world around her than people give her credit for. She can read, has a photographic memory and knows sign language.
And Christie can get an attitude from time to time, too.
"When she's mad at me, she calls me Georgia. When she's hurt or sad, I'm mommy," Georgia said.
Georgia once told me that all any parent wants is for his or her child to lead a happy and independent life.
Every day, I watch my girls grow. Seven-month-old Jovie crawls. Lily is speaking in sentences. All baby steps toward the day when they'll venture out into the world on their own.
"Christie will never be that way," Georgia said, a prospect that is even harder for Scott and Georgia to deal with now that they're both getting older.
Last month, caseworkers from York/Adams Mental Health and Intellectual Disabilities & Disorders Program suggested it was time for Christie to start going to respite care. Now that Georgia is 60, they feel it's critical that Christie go for overnights 30 times a year to help prepare her for a time when her parents can't care for her.
Georgia knows it would be good for Christie, but she hasn't mailed in the paperwork. Her heart tells her nobody will ever be able to care for her as well as she and Scott do. She's heard nightmare stories about what life can be like in a group home, and she worries about her baby.
"The horror of it is, there are sometimes that I wish that she'd go before me," Georgia said.
When she tells me this, I don't recoil. I mourn for her impossible situation. I pray she can find a long-term solution that will allow her to rest easy.
If caring for a child with special needs has taught Georgia anything, she said it's shown her humility and not to judge anyone until you've walked in their shoes.
And watching her with Christie reminds me how important empathy is.
There's no room for judgment toward someone who's given so much of herself — all of herself — to care for her child.
A few months back, Georgia and I were chatting about Christie on her driveway while I held Jovie, and Lily played nearby.
"I had the thought that I'd been preparing meals for her for 28 years and I'll be doing it until I die," Georgia said. "Some days I don't know where I end and where she begins."
Susan Jennings is mom to Lily, 2; Jovie, 7 months; Snacks the dog; and Bart, Peanut Butter and Delaney the cats. She is also wife to Brad the human. Read her blog at www.myinsidevoices.com.

A look back at Week 2 in Fantasy Football
By jerseys130 on Oct 30, 2013 02:44 AM
A look back at Week 2 in Fantasy Football
Eli Manning, NYG (at STL) Chaching! Manning outshined his older brother by throwing for 260 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions in a rout of the Rams. He will get another easy assignment in Week 3 vs. the sorry Bengals, so make sure you get him active in all formats. Verdict: YAY!
Jake Delhomme, CAR (vs. CHI) Strike one. Delhomme got off to an awful start against the Bears and only managed 128 yards and an interception in a win over Chicago. No Fantasy points for victories, unfortunately. Verdict: DOH!AP Photo / SladkyDid anyone think Carson Palmer would get off to such a horrible start?
Carson Palmer, CIN (vs. TEN) Last week I said: "I'm going with this pick here because he simply can't be horrendous two weeks in a row, can he?" Uh, oh yes he http://www.officialbuccaneersfootball.com/Black+Mark+Barron+Jersey can. OK, so the weather didn't help much, but that's my fault for not checking the Weather Channel. Verdict: DOH!
Dang it, why didn't I pick? Aaron Rodgers, GB (328/3/0); Jay Cutler, DEN (350/4/1); Kurt Warner, ARI (361/3/0).
David Garrard, JAX (vs. BUF) As I expected, Garrard found yards hard to come by in Week 2 as the Bills limited him to just 165 yards and an interception. He now has three picks this year, matching his total from all of last season. Verdict: YAY!
Matt Cassel, NE (at NYJ) Cassel did enough to win in Week 2, but his stats weren't great as he managed only 165 yards passing with no touchdowns. Following in the footsteps of Brady, that's a massively underachieving outing. Verdict: YAY!
Philip Rivers, SD (at DEN) I knew 3for3 in this category was asking too much. Rivers seemed intent on going passforpass with Cutler and finished with 377 yards, three touchdowns and an interception. Ouch. Verdict: DOH!
Dang it, why didn't I pick? Matt Hasselbeck, SEA (189/0/2); Chad Pennington, MIA (112/0/0); JaMarcus Russell, OAK (55/0/0).
AP Photo / ZurgaLarry Johnson is anything but as happy as Larry in Kansas City.
Larry Johnson, KC (vs. OAK) A bad start to this category, as Johnson was held to just 22 rushing yards on 12 carries. Then he came out after the game and complained about his role with the team. LJ, shut up and play, ya clown. Verdict: DOH!
Brian Westbrook, PHI (at DAL) Like the filling in a sandwich, Westbrook was a tasty pick here in between two bland pieces of crappy storebrand bread. The Eagles stud finished with only 58 yards on the ground, but he ran for two touchdowns and caught one other. Verdict: YAY!
Laurence Maroney, NE (at NYJ) I said Maroney was a risky Nike Mark Barron Jersey pick, and I was right. He started off well with eight early carries, all be it for 16 yards, but then got hurt and never returned. I'm blaming Belichick for everything. Verdict: DOH!
Dang it, why didn't I pick? Julius Jones, SEA (127/1); Darren McFadden, OAK (164/1); Jonathan Stewart, CAR (77/2).
Fred Taylor/Maurice JonesDrew, JAX (vs. BUF) The Jaguars were always in for a tough time in Week 2 against the solid Bills D and their two RBs found the yards hard to come by on Sunday. JonesDrew did find the end zone, but was held to 17 yards rushing, while Taylor rushed 14 times for 49 yards. Verdict: YAY!
Julius Jones, SEA (vs. SF) Man, this one really came out of nowhere. With no receivers and a makeshift offensive line, Jones still somehow managed Mark Barron Black Jersey to produce 127 yards and a touchdown. Verdict: DOH!
Jamal Lewis, CLE (vs. PIT) When I saw the weather forecast for Sunday night I was worried that Lewis would get a ton of carries and a bunch of yards against the Steelers. However, that wasn't to be as the Browns offense struggled once again and Lewis was held to 38 yards on the ground and 28 in the air. Verdict: YAY!
Dang it, why didn't I pick? Ryan Grant, GB (20/0); Ricky Williams, MIA (28/0); Michael Turner, ATL (42/0).
AP PhotoLarry Fitzgerald is a tough man to cover with his size and speed.
Larry Fitzgerald, ARI (vs. MIA) While I wasn't happy with my Dolphins' performance on Sunday, I couldn't help but smile as Fitzgerald looked like a man among boys while dominating the Miami secondary for Mark Barron Jersey Ebay six catches and 153 yards. Verdict: YAY!
Muhsin Muhammad, CAR (vs. CHI) We're going to have our first MEH of the week here as Muhammad suffered mightily from a poor outing by Delhomme, yet still managed to come up with five catches for 59 yards and had a touchdown called back for holding. Verdict: MEH
Terrell Owens, DAL (vs. PHI) Owens did his usual stellar work on Monday night as he lit up his former team for 89 yards and two touchdowns. While he's had better nights, that will do for me. Verdict: YAY!
Dang it, why didn't I pick? Calvin Johnson, DET (129/2); Santana Moss, WAS (164/1); Brandon Marshall (18/166/1).
Everyone on the Seahawks (vs. SF) I think I would consider a guy lost for the year with a torn MCL (Logan Payne) and another guy out 34 weeks with a calf strain (Seneca Wallace) a bit of a Week 2 dud. Verdict: YAY!
Devery Henderson, NO (at WAS) As I expected, David Patten was the most active WR for the Saints in their Week 2 loss to the Redskins, and that meant only a small outing for Henderson, who managed just two catches for six yards. Verdict: YAY!
Andre Johnson, HOU (vs. BAL) Now then, what do I consider this one. Considering I didn't know they were going to cancel the game and that hopefully some of you benched him anyway because I suggested it, I'm going to consider this one a moral victory! Verdict: YAY!

Action Planning and the Sustainable Community
"If our development strategies aren't sustainable they will be
The Economic Renewal Guide - The Rocky Mountain Institute
The action planning process will lead to the development of a community that is ecologically, economically, and socially sustainable. Let's look at several definitions of a sustainable community.
A "sustainable community" seeks to maintain and improve
the economic, environmental and social characteristics of an area so its
members can continue to lead healthy, productive, enjoyable lives.
Maureen Hart, "Guide to Sustainable Community Indicators"
In a sustainable community, resource consumption is balanced by
resources assimilated by the ecosystem. The sustainability of a community
is largely determined by the web of resources providing its food, fiber,
water, and energy needs and by the ability of natural systems to process
its wastes. A community is unsustainable if it consumes resources faster
than they can be renewed, produces more wastes than natural systems can
process or relies upon distant sources for its basic needs.
Sustainable Community Roundtable, Olympia, Washington
Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of
the present without compromising the ability of future generations to
meet their own needs.
UN World Commission on the Environment and Development
Sustainable is the long-term, cultural, economic and environmental
health and vitality with the emphasis on long-term, together with the
importance of linking our social, financial, and environmental well-being.
Sustainable Seattle
The sustainable community should establish goals and a vision by developing more efficient and effective ways in which to live and grow. It also will involve the participation of the entire community in creating a vision of the community's future that balances economic, environmental and social needs.
Principles of Sustainability
Now that we have defined sustainability we need to look at some general principles which are sensitive to the principles of sustainability and can be used by the community as a basis for selecting and developing action plans. The Provincial Government of Ontario, Canada has created the Ontario Round Table on Environment and Economy which has developed six guiding principles for sustainable development. It is useful to review these principles prior to commencing the task of developing action plans for the community.
- Anticipation and prevention of potential environmental degradation. The response of the past -- "react and cure" -- has proven to be economically, socially and environmentally expensive. We have had to fix problems after they occur through pollution control and regulation. We need to shift to a philosophy which "anticipates and prevents" environmental degradation at the planning stages of our development projects and when we make consumption decisions. We need to prevent pollution before it happens.
- Full cost accounting. Our natural assets -- air, water, land, soils, forests, wilderness and wildlife -- are the underlying base of all our economic activity. To prevent over-use and exploitation, all prices ideally should reflect full environmental and resource costs. For example, health costs and crop damage resulting from pollutants like acid rain would be included in the price of products whose manufacturing process contributes to acid rain. Applying this principle in all areas will provide economic incentives for wise resource use.
- Informed decision-making (environment-economy integration). Sustainable development requires the integration of environmental and economic considerations in decision-making. Consideration must be given to both the short and long-term consequences of these decisions. In addition, the decisions must be based on sound information. And those who make economic decisions must be responsible for the environmental consequences of those decisions.
- Living off the interest (doing better with less). This principle treats our limited natural resources as part of our capital wealth. Such "natural capital" must be replaced as it is depleted, or else be reused or recycled. If not, we will bankrupt ourselves just as if we had spent all our financial resources.
- Quality over quantity. Creating a sustainable society will require changes in lifestyles, attitudes, expectations, behaviors and values. An increasing focus on quality of economic development will result in smarter production and consumption patterns -- such as improved product durability and energy efficiency in the production and marketing of goods and services.
- Respect for nature and the rights of future generations. Our economy depends not only on the continued flow of resources but also on the protection and enhancement of ecosystems and habitats. The decision-making process must consider not only today's needs, but the needs of future generations by ensuring that a long enough horizon is used in the evaluation process.
Sustainability at the Local Level
What can you do at the local level to create a sustainable community? The Citizen Planner's Project of Ventura County has developed several ideas for application at the local level, which you may wish to use in your community.
- Protect, preserve and restore the natural environment. Acknowledge that undisturbed natural beauty enriches and that the natural environment is basic for a healthy world, a healthy economy and a healthy society.
- Establish true-cost pricing economics. Establish true-cost pricing as the basis for economic viability. Utilize whole-system thinking to recognize the true long-term costs and benefits of actions from an economic, environmental and social standpoint.
- Support local agriculture and local business products and services. Use community products and services for the cycling of economic wealth in the community.
- Develop clustered, mixed-use pedestrian oriented eco-communities. Clustering reduces infrastructure costs and pays for the reclamation of open space within the urban and suburban community and protects open space in the rural community. Clustering also encourages walking, bicycling and public transit use.
- Utilize advanced transport, communication and production systems. Reduce automobile dependence, traffic congestion, air and noise pollution, and operating and maintenance costs, by establishing rail centered transportation. Utilize advanced communication systems to move information in preference to people and material. Employ advanced production technologies to reduce costs, increase quality and production, and reduce pollution and energy use.
- Maximize conservation and develop local renewable resources. Maximize the use of conservation technology and practices, reduce the use of non-renewable resources, and develop local renewable energy, water and material resources.
- Establish recycling programs and recycled materials industries. Expand recycling technology and establish extensive recycling and composting programs.
- Support education for participation governance. Build educational awareness and public consensus for ecological planning and policy issues through broad-based citizen participation.
Environmental Justice in the Sustainable Community
Executive Order 12898 "Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations" is designed to focus the attention of federal agencies on the human health and environmental conditions in minority communities and low income communities. EPA's Office of Environmental Justice defines environmental justice as:
"The fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color, national origin, or income with respect to the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies. Fair treatment means that no group of people, including racial, ethnic, or socioeconomic group should bear a disproportionate share of the negative environmental consequences resulting from industrial, municipal, and commercial operations or the execution of federal, state, local, and tribal programs and policies."
Communities need to be sensitive to the impacts of their actions. Concerns about the impacts of environmental pollution on particular population groups has been growing. There is widespread belief that minority populations and/or low-income populations may bear a disproportionately high burden from pollution.
There are a number of initiatives that the community can take to consider environmental justice in its local decision-making.
- Implement public outreach programs and obtain stakeholder input on environmental justice issues.
- Educate elected and appointed officials on the principles of environmental justice.
- Consider siting, permitting decisions and cumulative impacts and their relationship to environmental justice considerations.
- Integrate considerations of economic development with environmental justice.
- Develop action plans that are sensitive to environmental justice policies.
Native Americans and the Environment focuses on the roles of Native Americans concerning environmental justice both in the past and present.

More 'Lost' Leakage: Are These Pages From the Finale Script?
And now this week, more paperwork from the finale has shown up online. This time it's several pages from the script of the last episode. Lots of details after the jump. WARNING: Massive spoilers follow! Again, if you don't wanted to be spoiled, leave now! Last chance ... here it comes ...
i09 has posted four pages of the six pages that an Italian web site has says are from the final episode, titled 'The End.' They have no idea if they are real or not (nor do we), but the 'Lost' spoiler site Dark UFO says that they have confirmed from multiple sources that the pages are real. I'm still not 100 percent convinced, but who knows?
Here's one page of the script and here are the others (the Others - ha!)
I know, I know, a lot of you are probably saying, "there's a lot of swears in the script, it can't be real!" That was my first thought too, but who knows how the scripts are written. These things aren't supposed to be seen by the general public, so maybe that's just the way they talk behind the scenes of the show. You know those potty-mouth Hollywood types. The words are used to describe how the characters are feeling or how they say a line, so what better way to convey that than a healthy f**k or s**t?
So we see that in the last episode Rose and Bernard (and Vincent!) are still alive, living an island life and staying out of trouble; Ben is now helping Locke; Locke decides to blow up the island when he realizes he can't get off of it, and Desmond's life is in danger again. Is any of this true, or is ABC going all out to throw people off track? I guess we'll know in a few weeks.

Slick as Teflon! Tough as Kevlar! Limber as Lycra!
Nonwoven polyethylene polymers are ripping open the fabric of fashion reality.
By Andrew Tilin
Design Development Concepts U.S.A., a 14-person fashion studio, sits at the top of a grimy flight of stairs off Fifth Avenue in Manhattan's Flatiron district. Savania Davies-Keiller, a 34-year-old British designer and partner in DDC, greets me inside the cluttered loft. A guy crammed into a corner works at a sewing machine. Designers wedged behind tables shape collars on Power Macs. Everyone is too busy to lift their heads: Fluidity in the computer business has nothing on the clothing trade, where some designers shift styles 12 times a year.
"We have this hungry baby which is the apparel market, and it's constantly screaming for the next new thing," says Davies-Keiller, leading me past shelves overflowing with shiny, aluminum-coated pants. "All the baby says is, We want the next best thing! We want innovation!"
She fishes into a clothes rack behind her and pulls out a deep-blue garment that's cut like a jean jacket. As the designer passes it to me, she flashes a pearly smile.
I grab the jacket and am immediately disoriented by its feathery weight - like being fooled when you pick up one of those foam rocks at the toy store. The material feels different from anything I've ever touched. It's neither cotton nor a familiar synthetic - more like a sheer and incredibly appealing plastic. Stranger still, the bright, glossy fabric is extremely tough - it won't stretch a millimeter and is water and wind resistant. I slip into the minimalist garment, and it crinkles around me like some sort of malleable body shield.
So long, nylon trench coat. The team at DDC embraces fabric innovations that challenge our preconceived notions about clothing, and it looks to companies like Neotis Studio, a startup within corporate giant DuPont, for the unorthodox materials. Dedicated to developing cutting-edge textiles, Neotis is producing wearable fabrics from an unusual resource: papery, often industrial materials known as nonwovens. Davies-Keiller thinks nonwovens can do everything that the standard, limp collection of threads does for clothing, and then some. "Nonwovens are technology that works with humanity," she says.
She gives me another sample - a light-blue collared shirt. The spare cloth seems to melt over my hand, as if it were fine cotton. Unlike the jacket, the shirt stretches, and it's as soft and welcoming as flannel.
Then Davies-Keiller rummages around in a thigh-high pile and picks out a bolt of nonwoven fabric. I'm tempted to bury my face in the soft, rich, green cloth. "Like velvet," she says, "velour!"
Nonwovens are neither woven (like denim) nor knit (like cotton T-shirts); they're the materials used in FedEx envelopes, as well as in paper towels and diapers. With a few historical exceptions, nonwoven clothing has, predictably, been anticouture: single-use pieces like ER scrubs and haz-mat coveralls. But a small group of fashion-forward designers and scientists is harnessing chemistry, engineering, and precision sewing processes to transform nonwovens - and possibly the clothing industry itself.
DDC fully expects such wearable technology to go mainstream. For years the studio - whose client list includes Barneys and singer Lauryn Hill - has designed clothes showcasing DuPont innovations. DDC put Kevlar, the fiber used in bulletproof vests, into everyday garments, and has coated clothes with Teflon. Such advancements make clothing more durable and wearable, but Davies-Keiller believes they're also a reflection of the broadening expectation that whatever we interact with should march relentlessly forward.
"This generation is so quick - we understand technology, we want it, we need it!" she says. "Whether it's the Internet or a Gore-Tex shell from the North Face, tech is the real product."
Not surprisingly, DDC saw the potential in nonwoven clothing before the Wilmington, Delaware-based chemical conglomerate did. In 1998, Davies-Keiller's business partner, Roberto Crivello, was intrigued by a garment bag made of a papery DuPont nonwoven. DDC bought several hundred yards of the material - called Tyvek - and mated it with a Lycra-based lining. The company tailored the white DuPont material into a line of clothes named Futura, priced the matching set at about $1,000, and sold it in the studio's Lower East Side boutique. DDC found it couldn't keep Futura in stock.
"We were sitting there with our mouths open," says Davies-Keiller.
Before Neotis formally existed, but nearly a year after Futura debuted, DuPont struck a deal with DDC to provide input on the manufacturer's nonwoven fabrics.
Last March, DDC and Neotis got proof that they were on to something. Most of the 12-person Neotis staff, along with Davies-Keiller and Crivello, schlepped their new textiles to a Paris trade show to impress the apparel industry. Before long, the 10- by 15-foot Neotis booth was a mosh pit. The startup had 74 percent more requests for samples than at the previous show. DKNY took fabric. Calvin Klein's folks appeared. French designer François Girbaud stopped by.
"In our world, all we see is the same spinning and knitting with different treatments," says Stefano Aldighieri, director of fabrics and finishing for the Levi's brand, which has successfully launched a small run of Neotis clothes. "Neotis is a vision of what fabrics will be 10, 20, 30 years from now."
Davies-Keiller didn't enjoy being overrun at the show - "They were grabbing the bloody swatches from the walls!" - but she loved the reaction.
"When you see your peers responding that way, you do somersaults," she says. "I was watching people freaking, saying, How did they get this? What is this about? When you see that, you know you're on the right track."
Neotis contracts with a third party to create its stretch nonwovens in a 50,000-square-foot, metal-sided structure in an anonymous Richmond, Virginia, industrial park. The signless exterior makes the place easy to miss - but under Neotis orders, visitors are threatened with blindfolds until they're through the front door, and have to sign a pact promising to keep secret the name of the private company. DuPont wants to maintain its elastic edge on the nonwoven competition: Only Neotis fabrics already feature the two-way stretch (side to side and up and down) that shoppers have come to expect in conventionally sewn jeans and suits.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. --The Santa 7 ... Holiday love handles... it's no secret people tend to put on weight this time of year, but how about your pets?
Some lawmakers are so concerned about overweight cats and dogs; they've drafted a bill that would give diet pet food a tax break.
It's no secret how Bob Despo's dog got fat.
"Eating Krispy Kreme doughnuts, she just used to love eating Krispy Kreme doughnuts when she was a puppy," he said of his 17-year-old Yorkie, Baby.
Despo was at the dog park with his thinner and younger Yorkie Friday, but he says on Baby, her diet shows.
"She's supposed to weight 9... and she weighs 25," he said.
A new bill in the Florida legislature would make it easier for Baby to lose weight. The proposed legislation would exempt diet dog food from sales tax.
"I think it's a great idea because some dogs are overweight and it would be a good idea I think," said Despo.
But other dog owners think cutting the sales tax on diet dog food is, well, dog doo-doo.
"It's not a responsibility of the tax payers to give tax breaks for diet dog food. That's ridiculous," said Aubrey Greenwell.
Greenwell says she takes her 9-month-old Boxer to the dog park twice a week, and that should be enough to keep him svelte.
"Let him out in the back yard, throw him a ball, get active. It's not that hard," she said.
But Despo says for Baby, diet doggy food might be the best place to start.
"It's hard for her to get out of the house, she's hard to get through the door," he said.
The bill is just starting to make its way through the legislature, and would only apply to dogs whose veterinarians ordered them to lose weight for health reasons.

|The Game Story:
|CHESTERTOWN, MD -- Senior attackman Chris Read (Baltimore, MD/Boys Latin)
scored five goals and assisted on another as 12th-ranked host Washington
College defeated visiting Virginia Wesleyan, 15-9, in a non-conference
men's lacrosse game this afternoon on Kibler Field at Roy Kirby, Jr.
Stadium. The Shoremen improved to 3-0 with the win, while the Marlins fell
to 1-2 with the loss.
The Shoremen jumped out in front early, building a 4-0 lead after one
quarter. The Marlins twice cut the lead to two goals during the second
quarter, but Washington held a 7-4 lead at halftime. The Shoremen then put
the game away in the third quarter, outscoring Virginia Wesleyan, 6-2, in
the period, to stretch the lead to 13-6.
Read was one of five Shoremen to score multiple goals in the game. Senior
midfielder Nick Gregory (Riva, MD/South River) fired in three goals, while
junior midfielder Matt Moreton (Darnestown, MD/Northwest), senior
attackman Kolyn Kirby (Chestertown, MD/Kent County), and junior midfielder
Casey O'Connor (Crownsville, MD/Archbishop Spalding) each added two goals.
Moreton also had a pair of assists, as did junior attackman Jimmy Kielek
(Baltimore, MD/Archbishop Curley).
Maicin Dunk led the Marlins with two goals and one assist, while Jordan
Kenney, Brett Morris, and Drew Langis each scored two goals. Tom
Skartsiaris kept the Marlins in the game by making 23 saves in goal and
allowing 14 scores. The Shoremen scored one of their goals while
Skartsiaris was on the sideline after being shaken up by a hit.
The Shoremen dominated face-offs, winning 19 of the game's 27. Junior
midfielder Thayer Damm (Huntingdon Valley, PA/LaSalle) was 16-of-23 on
face-offs for the Shoremen and scooped up a game-high eight ground balls.
The Shoremen enjoyed a 53-29 advantage in shots and a 51-25 advantage in
ground balls.
The Shoremen return to action one week from today with a 1:00 p.m. game at
15th-ranked Washington and Lee.

Shopping in Arinsal
There are two main supermarkets in the village selling all your holiday essentials, plus a fairly decent selection of food if you're self catering. There is also a very good selection of shops selling ski/snowboard equipment and clothing. You will also find several shops at the top of the gondola (at the base of the slopes) so make sure you shop around and get a great deal!
Currency & Money
The currency of Andorra is the Euro. You can change money at most hotel receptions or sometimes with your holiday rep, as well as being able to take money out of cash machines in the village, and even up the mountain! Just watch out for the exchange rate at receptions though as they can be quite low! Unfortunately the bank in Arinsal has now closed down, meaning the closest bank is now in La Massana.
Andorra La Vella
For more extensive shopping opportunities you might want to pay a visit to Andorra la Vella, the capital city. If you want to go, there are a few options. Firstly is public transport. Buses depart from the village along the main road, however when you get into the city it can be tricky as the bus drops you off in a different place to where it picks you up to bring you back. Second option is a taxi. They work pretty much the same as anywhere else, and hotel receptions will usually call one for you, or you can flag one down. Taxis cannot be booked in Andorra, therefore you just have to wait for it to come. Beware that the taxi will start it's meter where it sets off from, and not where you get in! Thirdly, some tour operators offer a bus service into the city. You will probably be picked up from your hotel and a rep will take you into the city, so it is excellent if it is your first time as you will have someone to point the way for the best shopping!
Once you're there, you can expect to find a fantastic array of shops selling predominantly electrical goods, jewelry, perfume, alcohol, cigarettes and tobacco, all at duty free prices! Last year a sales tax was introduced of 4%, but prices are still fairly low. A top tip would be to do your homework before you go to make sure that you are getting a bargain!

moreMarking the centennial of Panama's separation from Colombia in 1903, this volume reprises U.S. images of the isthmus a century ago. The editors have collected a fascinating selection of articles from two of the most influential publications of the era, Harper's Monthly Magazine and the Atlantic Monthly, to illustrate the prejudices and expansionistic rhetoric of the time. An eclectic mix of adventure-seekers, naturalists, scientists, scholars, and travellers all helped a reading public in the United States 'discover' Panama and the tropics. Their writings show the long evolution of the U.S. debate on the question of Panama and how Americans came to believe control of the isthmus was vital to their economic and political wellbeing. Constituting critically important primary sources, which are virtually unknown among students and scholars today, the articles highlight the intersection of politics, history, technology, and commercial interests in the region. By introducing and organizing these long-forgotten essays in cohesive thematic sections, this book will help readers think more critically and carefully about U.S. foreign policy and the ongoing legacy in U.S.-Latin American relations. less

Scott Horton Interviews Ira Chernus
Ira Chernus, professor of religious studies at the University of Colorado at Boulder, discusses the dominant narrative of Israel: a vulnerable Western-style democracy in a sea of hostile Arab nations, the destructiveness of race and class based stereotypes, the Israeli and Palestinian peace groups ignored by the media and the lessening stigma of publicly criticizing Israel.
MP3 here. (28:18)
Ira Chernus is a professor of religious studies at the University of Colorado at Boulder and author of Monsters To Destroy: The Neoconservative War on Terror and Sin. His article "Palestinian Violence Overstated, Jewish Violence Understated" appears on TomDispatch.com.

Israel did 9/11, definitely. The longer American Jews keep silent about that (whether because they're afraid or they simply don't know), the higher the likelihood of an eventual "Russia-style pogrom" in this country. Separately, any discussion of the diminishing taboo of criticizing Israel should probably include at least a passing mention of Mearsheimer and Walt's invaluable work.
Well-meaning Americans have been fooled into supporting Israeli's or Palestinians.
This is the issue, the "catch" which keeps the US involved in military and financial "entanglements" in the Middle East.
Ask yourselves (without religious suggestion) wouldn't the US be better off, not supporting either side and remaining "neutral" like the Swiss?
Neutrality is a "safe" position to be in time after time…just ask the Swiss.
Your first two assertions are ridiculous, your third point is well taken though. –Scott
My support for the Israeli government started to wane soon after I learned the truth about its deliberate attack on the U.S.S. Liberty. My support for the U.S. government started to wane soon after I learned the truth about its deliberate coverup of the same incident. Trust no government! They all lie, steal and kill whenever it benefits them – which is all the time, of course.
I think the backlash, in the US at least, against Israel is rooted somewhat in economics as well.
The US economy is imploding and will continue to do so. As people lose their homes, are unable to feed their famlies, and drown in a sea of debt; the last thing they want to hear is that their tax dollars (collected under the threat of death) are being shipped off to some country half way across the world and that any voice of protest obviously means they are minority hating bigots.
I can't think of any other nation where wanting to cut off their foreign aid to them would create such a response. Over time, as the economy worsens, this attitude will backfire.
Of course, what isn't touched on is that the US government has a stake in keeping the conflict going. Israel, and the Arab nations we bribe not to attack them, are the few reliable remaining customers for US weapons on the international market. That is only because we give them generous aid packages to buy said weapons. The folks at Lockheed and GE do not want the make work program to come to the end.
Thank you, Mr. Lester. Your assertions are not ridiculous
Why won't this post?
[...] Popular Support for Israel Eroding Ira Chernus interviewed by Scott Horton [...]
Hell, if I had my way, Israel would be cut off American life support. They'd be forced to stand or fall on their own. And isn't that what any self-respecting nation wants?
Mr. Lester speaks the truth.
The truth is that the Twin Towers and WTC7 were destroyed in a controlled demolition. The evidence for that is overwhelming, incontrovertible.
It is ridiculous to assert that Al-Quaeda felled both the twin towers and WTC7 in a controlled demolition is ridiculous.
The list of suspects and conspirators is long (Larry Silverstein should be at the top of that list) and mostly has ties to Israel – to the Mossad, and to zionist causes.
One can keep his hands out of the affairs of others, but still recognize that rape, pillage and plunder are going on.
My dad, an old-fashioned left-wing revolutionary who served in Habash's PFLP, often would tell me as a child, 'the difference between America serving and being ensalved by Israel and thinking on its own, is that the American people need to go hungry for a few days. That'll wake them up'. It seems as if he was correct.
Your assertions are 100% correct. Regardless of what the misinformed might say, the Israelis carried out what was essentially an inside job on 9-11-2001. That is the sad truth.
You did say "self-respecting" right? That sorta leaves Israel out of the equation. Think parasite on the United States. Not "nation". Like a big, fat ,blood-engorged tick . . . Israel . . . sucking the lifeblood from its host (that's us, by the way).
