Sensex tumbles 389 points ahead of EU summit
December 8, 2011
MUMBAI: Ignoring easing of food inflation, the Bombay Stock Exchange benchmark Sensex today tumbled 389 points, amid concerns of slow industrial growth and weak trend in the Asian markets ahead of a EU meet to deal with euro-zone debt crisis. After a weak start, the Sensex dropped 388.82 points, or 2.30 per cent to 16,488.24, even as the food inflation fell sharply to 6.60 per cent for week ended November 26, from 8 per cent in the previous week.

Euro declines on fading EU summit hopes
June 25, 2012
NEW YORK: The euro fell to its lowest in almost two weeks against the dollar on Monday and looked set to extend losses as investors doubted a European summit later in the week will find a solution to the region's escalating debt crisis. Expectations for the two-day EU summit are quite low after a meeting of the euro zone's four biggest economies on Friday, at which Germany resisted pressure for common euro zone bonds or a more flexible use of Europe's rescue fund.
Key EU summit in Brussels to begin today
June 28, 2012
ET Bureau
Beginning Thursday, European leaders will meet at a crucial EU summit, the third since October 2008, to deliberate on how to contain the debt contagion to prevent a break-up of the euro zone. Why is the situation alarming? Cyprus became the fifth country to seek a bailout. And global fi scal health leaves little scope for more. In fact, second installments of previous bailouts are also in doubt. Earlier assistance has failed to alleviate the sovereign debt situation in...

The European Union had not responded to India's proposal for a brief visit by Modi to Brussels, the headquarters of the 28-member powerful bloc, during his trip to France, Germany and Canada in April. ...

BRUSSELS: French president Jacques Chirac said on Tuesday, ahead of an EU summit on Iraq, that his government would oppose a second UN resolution on disarming Baghdad, and warned that war would be the worst way to resolve the crisis.

European Union leaders to back Jean-Claude Juncker, leaving Britain isolated
June 27, 2014
BRUSSELS: David Cameron set out a last-ditch case against the nomination of Jean-Claude Juncker for European Commission president on Friday, trying to enforce a point of principle that raises the risk of Britain leaving the European Union. The British prime minister sees the former Luxembourg premier as lacking the will and the skills to reform the EU and told fellow leaders bluntly they were about to make a mistake in backing him - warning of unspecified...

By: Saumitra Chaudhuri, Member, Planning Commission We are at the threshold of the next phase of the gradual emergence of the advanced western economies from the seismic shock of the global crisis of 2008.

Expectations high over euro meet; but sentiment not great
December 5, 2011
NISHANTH VASUDEVAN , ET Bureau
MUMBAI: Will the much-hyped summit of European leaders this week reach a solution to stem the growing Eurozone debt crisis ? That's the question which has been nagging investors on the heels of the best weekly gains by the market in more than two years on Friday. Investors need positive news to justify the recent strength, but the European Union (EU) finance ministers' meet last week and a proposed summit this week are unlikely to give them much comfort.

The Van's Warped Tour might not be the most financially successful summer package tour of all time (the promoter and performers work together to keep an ego-free environment and low ticket prices), but it's hard to argue that it is not the most successful overall, especially in terms of longevity. Now in its 18th year, Kevin Lyman's eclectic traveling festival has outlived all of the roving music events that sprouted up around the same time (from Lollapalooza to Lilith Fair) by creating a "customer friendly" experience that's also very "artist friendly."
The tour's 2012 finale is this weekend in Portland, but before shutting things down for the summer, the fest makes its annual stop at Cincinnati's Riverbend today. Doors open at 11 a.m. and music kicks off shortly after. The show ends around 9 p.m. Tickets at the box office will cost ya $42 (about a dime a band, by my estimation).
Click here for more local show details, including info on how you can "Skip the Line" and walk right into the venue.
The set-times for each act are decided just prior to the gates opening; if you're going, look for the giant inflatable Warped logoed amp to see when your favorites are playing. I also highly recommend grabbing the official Warped Tour app.
Be sure to support our local music scene reps — The Few The Fallen, Heres To The Heroes and Let It Happen will play the Ernie Ball Stage. Check out Let It Happen's recent video for "Bridges" from the great release, It Hurts, But It's Worth It.
Here is who's playing where (via Riverbend's site). (Welsh rockers Lostprophets are also on the bill, though not listed on Riverbend's site; all info is subject to change.)
MAIN STAGE: Taking Back Sunday, All Time Low, New Found Glory, Streetlight Manifesto, Yellowcard, Piece The Veil, Four Year Strong, Of Mice and Men, We The Kings, Breathe Carolina, Miss May I, Falling In Reverse, Blood On The Dance

By all accounts (from people who actually attended or performed), last month's huge Bunbury Music Festival was one of the best-run fests of its kind this area has ever seen. Organizer Bill Donabedian no doubt scored some tips from the operators of the big annual Blues celebration, the volunteer-driven Cincy Blues Fest, which has been doing the "well-run music festival" thing at Sawyer Point Park along the riverfront for many years now.
This weekend, the Cincy Blues Fest — one of the finest Blues events in the Midwest — returns to Sawyer Point to celebrate its 20th anniversary. That's a remarkable two decades of providing Greater Cincinnati live music lovers with some of the finest Blues being made locally, regionally and nationally, a rare and impressive achievement for any music festival.
This year's main stage national headliners are especially strong — Webb Wilder on Friday and Duke Robillard on Saturday — but the Cincy Blues Fest always has a ton of interesting and engaging artists performing throughout the fest's multiple stages.
Aside from the lineup featuring a few higher quality headliners than the past couple of years (like Robillard, Wilder, Trampled Under Foot, Super Chikan, Sista Monica, etc.), this year's 20th anniversary celebration isn't really being overblown, likely because the Cincy Blues Society and the army of volunteers that work the fest always do such an amazing job running the event; it's already quite special, no matter what birthday the fest is celebrating.
One of my favorite elements of the Blues Fest is its undying support for our local players and singers. This year, Cincy Blues Challenge winners Chris Yakopcic and the Noah Wotherspoon Band have main-stage slots (they'll also go to Memphis this winter to compete for Cincinnati in the International Blues Challenge). Yakopcic performs at 5:45 p.m. Friday, while Wotherspoon and Co. play at the same time Saturday (following a band of students associated with the Blues in the Schools program, for which the fest raises money).
The three side stages — always creatively
programmed — have a heavy local presence. Friday, visit the "Blues: The
Next Generation" stage for sets by younger area acts like the Wade
Baker Trio, Brian Keith Wallen Band, Scotty Bratcher and (again!) Noah
Wotherspoon and his band. The "Next Gen" stage starts at 5:15 p.m.
Friday "The Next Generation of Blues" stage lineup
5:15 p.m. Wade Baker Trio
6:20 p.m. Jellico Motel
7:05 p.m. Brian Keith Wallen Band
8:10 p.m. Carson Diersing Band
9:25 p.m. Scotty Bratcher
10:40 p.m. Noah Wotherspoon Band
As the name suggests, the St. Vincent DePaul Local Stage is chock full of local talent. Friday, the stage features Bad Men on a Mission, Them Bones, the Doug Hart Band, Leroy Ellington's Blues Band and Blue Sacrifice.Saturday, catch the Blue Birds Big Band, the Gradual Taylor Band, the Leo Clarke Band, The Juice, Chuck Brisbin & the Tuna Project and Balderdash.
And perhaps the fest's most notable and
renowned side stage, the unique Boogie Woogie Piano Hall of Fame Stage,
on Saturday will feature appearances by Jimmy Rogers, Todd Hepburn, Liz
Pennock & Dr. Blues and Ricky Nye, plus players from across the
planet. The Boogie Woogie stage closes out with a "grand finale jam"
just before midnight.
Saturday Boogie Woogie Piano Hall of Fame Stage lineup
4:30 p.m. Jimmy Rogers
5:10 p.m. Todd Hepburn
5:50 p.m. Liz Pennock & Dr. Blues
6:50 p.m. Ricky Nye

Here are the lineups for the Budweiser Main Stage this weekend:
Friday Budweiser Main Stage lineup

We have celebrated works in progress and new commissions, new collaborations, and detailed music of all kinds regardless of genre or popularity."

In late March 2010, All Time Low began recording their fourth studio album with producers John Fields and Matt Squire. It will be the band's first album released through Interscope Records.
I caught up with Alex after Bamboozle to discuss the band's controversies this summer and their upcoming album.
CB: I have read that the band was named for a New Found Glory song, "Head on Collision." Can you tell me the story about it?
Alex: It was right when we were starting the band, we had a list of terrible, terrible band names and we didn't pick any of them. We ended up taking a line from the song that caught our ear and went with it.
CB: I recently spent some time photographing them and they were great guys.
Alex: Yeah they are good dudes.
CB: You have started recording your next album. When can we expect it?
Alex: As of right now we are shooting for an early 2011 release. We are about halfway finished with it and we need to figure out what to call it and go through all the steps to get it out.
CB: Can you talk about any of the new songs that you are excited about?
Alex: We are excited about them all and it doesn't make sense to go into specifics because it is too early.
CB: You have recently had some controversy with Six Flags on this tour. Are you past it?
Alex: We're past it. We had an issue there and Six Flags security didn't handle a situation well. They didn't like the fact that I voiced my opinion about it and have asked us never to come back, which is fine with me since I never want to step foot in there again.
CB: Is it that one or all Six Flags?
Alex: All Six Flags
CB: I've seen you a couple times and I see all
these young girls at your show and they are crazy about you guys. A lot
of them are really young, how do you stay out of trouble with the fans?
Alex: What do you mean?
CB: Well, they are obviously not 18.
Alex: We are not really in the business of having relations with our fans so I am not sure it is a problem.
CB: I photograph bands all the time and people
usually think rap concerts are dangerous, but I swear that your shows
have the most dangerous fans with the screaming little girls.
Alex: They are violent little kids and they are our fans. We love them.
CB: Who would be your dream band to go on tour with?
Alex: I would love to tour with Weezer and Blink 182 would also be an obvious choice.
CB: What has been your craziest Bamboozle tour story?
Alex: A negative one would be the Six Flags incident. We also got pretty crazy on Jack's birthday and I destroyed several TV's in the hotel. I lived the life of a rock star for a night which was a lot of fun.
CB: What did Jack do?
Alex: Jack was right alongside with me. It was his birthday and everyone was together.
CB: Who would be your favorite Indie band?
Alex: I don't know. Phoenix is really good and Silversun Pickups are pretty sweet.
CB: Fill in the blank. I can't go to sleep unless I …
Alex: Masturbate
CB: What is up next for the band?
Alex: We are going back to California to finish the album and then we are going overseas to do some festivals in Japan and do a show in Malaysia. We'll be back in the US in the fall for a tour.
Boys Like Girls is a pop punk band from Andover, Massachusetts who gained mainstream recognition when they released their self-titled debut album Boys Like Girls. The group was formed in the final months of 2005, when vocalist Martin Johnson wrote a handful of songs he wanted to record. He recruited bassist Bryan Donahue and drummer John Keefe. Keefe brought along lead guitarist Paul DiGiovanni.
Boys Like Girls officially released their second album, Love Drunk, on September 8, 2009 and has been touring all year to support it. "Two Is Better Than One," featuring female country singer Taylor Swift was released off Love Drunk as the fourth single. Before performing in Cincinnati, the band and local radio had a contest where the winner from a local high school was chosen to sing Taylor Swift's part in "Two Is Better Than One" live onstage at Riverbend with the band during Bamboozle.
I caught up with John and Bryan before their set at Bamboozle to discuss the tour and their recent trip performing on the Miss USA pageant.
CB: How has it been on the tour so far?
John: We have been having a great time with a bunch friends hanging out and playing music all day. Good times to start the summer.
Bryan: Every day is like the 4th of July. Lots of grilling and basketball every day and hanging with friends.
CB: What has been your biggest life change since you had your big hits?
John: Just being on the road non-stop is the biggest change. It is weird when we go home.
Bryan: When we go home it is awkward and it is hard to get into a routine. Doing laundry and grocery shopping is weird.
CB: What is the story behind the song, "The Great Escape?"
John: It is a story about getting out of high school and going to pursue other things.
Bryan: Taking the next step in your life. New job, new career, going to college, whatever the big change is in your life and how you are taking the next steps.
CB: What is your favorite song to perform live?
John: It changes all the time. Playing a hit song like starting the set with "Love Drunk" is awesome.
CB: It is the best feeling when they sing along, right?
John: Yes, it is so awesome.
CB: You recently performed on the Miss USA pageant. What was that experience like?
John: It was a dream, come true.
Bryan: Like kids in a candy store with the most beautiful women in the United States. We showed up the day before for rehearsal and they actually had to separate us from the girls. We were introducing ourselves to be polite and someone came up and told us to leave them alone. We were bummed.
CB: What is the biggest pet peave on the road?
John: We all pretty much get along, maybe someone being late and we are waiting when we need to be somewhere.
Bryan: A messy bus is bad, four, five, six guys with all their crap everywhere. It gets bad and we have to clean it up. It gets clausterphobic. A clear house means a clear mind.
CB: What has been your most memorable moment so far as a band?
Bryan: Nothing that trumps anything else. We'll always remember the first time we hear our songs on the radio. We were all together when we heard "The Great Escape" on the radio. Martin was driving the van and we started screaming .We thought he was going to flip the van. Basically, anything we do together as a band is memorable.
CB: Who were your biggest musical influences?
John: It is across the board. Aerosmith and Nirvana were big influences.
Bryan: My dad was a bass player and he turned me on to a lot of really great music. I had to use his equipment when I started at 12 years old since I couldn't buy my own stuff. My dad walked me through how to fix a string. I thought I had broke the bass and he calmed me down and said it was just a string and walked me through it. He bought me a lot of great music and was my biggest influence.
CB: I recently saw a band called "The Trouble with
Boys" and they are really young kids who rock out. I am always amazed
at how supportive their families are with their music. I guess your
parents were pretty supportive along the way.
Bryan: In the beginning they weren't, but they are now. It took awhile for them to understand that I wasn't going to college and that I was going to pursue music. They are very proud now. Parents are usually proud no matter what their kids do though.
CB: Who are your favorite Indie bands?
John: Great Big Planes and Cady Groves are on the tour and I have been checking them out.
Bryan: I was just handed a CD that is pretty cool called, "Colors." I feel like it is summer and I should have more new music.
CB: What do you like to listen to in the summer?
Bryan: I like the classics. I am a big Joe Walsh fan. It is funny because I hate the Eagles, but I am in a big Joe Walsh phase right now.
Cady Groves is a 20 year old Oklahoma native who is touring with the Bamboozle Roadshow this summer. She is a multi-talented singer songwriter who has recently signed to RCA records.
I caught up with Cady after her set to discuss her current EP, The Life of a Pirate and what is up next for her as she forms her full band and begins recording her next album.
CB: You are the only girl on the tour. How has that been going?
Cady: I love it. The cool thing about being the different person is being the different person. Every other band can sort of mesh together. I am the girl and the outsider and that is fine with me. Everyone wants to be a gentleman and help me out.
CB: When you date, do you prefer to date musicians?
Cady: I try to be professional. I am not promiscuous at all. I was in a relationship with a musician before all of this happened, but we are just friends now. I could date a fan. I could date anyone. I just really need to have a connection with the person. I really like to be in love though.
CB: You write all your own music about personal experiences. What is your writing process?
Cady: I have a really weird writing process. I have an entire melody in my head with no music to it before I hum it to a guitar. I can hear it in my head. I usually sing all the time into a recorder. I write songs all the time. I actually made up one today.
CB: What is it about?
Cady: It is about my loyalty to people and how it sometimes gets me hurt.
CB: You were recently at SxSW. Do you have any crazy stories from there?
Cady: I got pretty crazy one night when I shouldn't have. I am usually a stay at home person, but I had fun one night. It was a good night. I think some guy wrote I love Cady Groves on his chest but that is not that crazy.
CB: What is up next for you?
Cady: We have 2 weeks left in the tour and then I have 3 weeks off after that when I will be forming my full band. We will practice and meet lots of producers. Right before this tour I signed with RCA so I haven't had a chance to hang out with them and get everything started. I will go to NYC, LA and Nashville to get started with them. After that I will be going back out on tour with Stereo Skyline on the "Stuck on Repeat" tour.
CB: Will you be coming back through the area?
Cady: Yes I think we will.
CB: I like the album title. Is there a story behind the pirate?
Cady: It kind of goes along with my life experiences. I have been on my own for awhile. I had a really bad habit of moving around. It is a bad habit that I am trying to break. I would live somewhere for a few months like in my car or on someone's couch. I would get two jobs and try to make myself be complacent, but once I was, I would just leave. I would get up in the middle of the night and just drive 24 hours and start over. When you think about it, it is a horrible thing to do. It was making life a lot harder and more complicated than it needed to be. It was the life of a pirate. I kept leaving and living in my car. Just moving around.
CB: How long ago was it?
Cady: It was a couple years ago.
CB: So you were right out of high school?
Cady: No, I graduated high school super early when I was 16 and went to college.
CB: Where did you go to college?
Cady: I actually went to culinary school in Vegas. I love it and I think I want to move back there.
CB: Who would be your dream collaboration?
Cady: I want to collaborate with Alanis Morissette. I want my album with RCA to be half as good as "Jagged Little Pill." I was the youngest of 7 kids. I was really shy and was 4 years old when my mom bought the CD the day it came out. We would ride in this huge van. I was always quiet as a kid. I had long curly hair and I would hide under the seat of the van and then I would just come out from under a chair and sing the whole album. My Mom thought it was the funniest thing. I still will pop in the CD and sing it at the top of my lungs.
Great Big Planes is a new Indie band on the scene
from Tom Rivers, NJ. The band played their first show last Sept, 2009.
Their self-titled album is currently available and features the song
"Lost One."
The band consists of Josh Moran- Lead Vocals/Guitar, Patrick Campion- Lead Guitar, and Chad Sabo on Bass and Acoustic Guitar. I caught up with the band after their set at Bamboozle on their bus to talk about their experiences on their first national tour.
CB: You recently came back from Vegas, any crazy stories out there?
Chad: Why don't you take this one since you were the big winner?
Josh: I won a little bit of money so we had a party at the Hard Rock in a villa.
CB: With the money?
Josh: No, we were with all the bands from the tour. It was fun for everyone to get together.
CB: It doesn't sound that crazy?
Chad: It was crazy. We had Playmates there. We had a poolside cabana. It was like a Hangover suite.
CB: Anytime playmates are involved it is a good time.
Josh: Sometimes.
CB: Who is your dream band to tour with?
Patrick: All of us probably have the same answer. I guess Radiohead is a big one for all of us.
Chad: I like Billy Joel a lot. It is not the same genre but I like him a lot.
CB: What is your favorite Indie Band?
Josh: No one really right now. I love Smashing Pumpkins, Led Zeppelin, The Cure, Radiohead, Third Eye Blind, and The Verve.
Chad: We are into the 90's stuff right now.
CB: I like the song "Lost One." What is the story behind it? Where did it come from?
Josh: I was kind of going through a transition phase in my life. I didn't know where I was headed. I was coming out of a tumultuous relationship. It is about letting go and trying to find a place to call home.
CB: What is your favorite song to perform live?
Josh: It is not one of my own. It is "High and Dry" by Radiohead.
CB: You guys just got started last year. What is the biggest thing that has changed in your life since you started out?
Patrick: The bus really. We have never had this luxury before.
Chad: This is our first tour and going National.
Josh: It is the first time we have toured with bands outside our scene. Hanson has been on part of the tour and they have been great. People automatically only think of them as "MmmBop," but their new album is out and it is awesome. You should check it out. They have changed so much and are super talented.
CB: Finish the sentence I can't go to sleep unless I've…
Chad: I watch Sports Center and make sure I know the scores of my favorite teams.
Patrick: I have to take off my socks before going to bed and sleep barefoot.
Josh: Not naked, just no socks?
Patrick: No, not naked just barefoot.
Josh: I can't go to sleep unless I've shot the air assault gun outside. Last night we were shooting Third Eye Blind.

LMFAO is a Grammy-nominated electro-hip hop group from Los Angeles, California that consists of DJ/rappers Redfoo (Stefan Gordy) and Sky Blu (Skyler Gordy). Both artists are related to Berry Gordy; Redfoo is the son of the Motown Records founder and Sky Blu is his nephew.
Their first single was titled "I'm in Miami Bitch" which peaked at #51 on the Billboard Hot 100. LMFAO also provided the opening theme to Kourtney and Khloé Take Miami and Jersey Shore. They last visited Ohio on tour with the Black Eyed Peas in early 2010.
I sat down with the two of them for an interview backstage at Bamboozle to discuss the tour and the upcoming album.
CB: You guys grew up really close to the recording industry. Did it give you an idea what to expect in the business?
RF: You know maybe on the business side, but not as far as touring. When we grew up our family was out of the business. The touring is new with things like being on the bus. We have adjusted really well. Now the bus is now like our home.
CB: What is your favorite track to perform live?
RF: The songs are like tools that will help you out in any situation.
CB: They make me smile.
SB: Smile tools.
RF: When you are at a party you have to play "Shots" to get the party started. Toward the end of the party you may want to say something nice to a girl so you may play, "Scream My Name."
CB: It is like a progession through the night. Like a soundtrack.
RF: After "Shots" you would play, "Get Crazy." They are like tools. So when we perform and we want to talk to the sexy ladies we sing "Scream My Name."
CB: Craziest tour story with the Black Eyed Peas?
SB: Will got stuck one time up in the air during their performance.
CB: Did you guys rescue him?
SB: I was going to, but I didn't want to put my drink down. The stage hands took care of him.
CB: You are working on a new album. When can we expect it?
RF: The new album is in the works. We are finally getting some momentum on it. Hopefully it will be out around November.
CB: Do you write your own stuff?
RF: Yes we have a lot of concepts that we are working on. It is a process to lay out the tracks. We have a studio on the bus and one at our house now in LA.
CB: You guys live together- roomies?
RF: Yes, we actually have a lot of houses and a lot of girlfriends.
CB: What are your party rules?
RF: You have to bring some Nachos.
SB: Nachos are girls that are "Not Yours," not your ex, not your current girl, they are like pot luck. You have to take a shot when you walk in. You have to have a TBR- Take Back Room. It can be a bathroom but that can cause problems. These are the party rules.
CB: Who were your musical influences?
RF: Rick James
RF: JB- James Brown
SB: Red Hot Chilis
CB: What do you wish you knew five years ago that you know now?
SB: I wish I knew to put more stock into Apple.
RF: I wish I had read this book Going Against the Grain. It talks about how grains are not good for you. It is a revolutionary book. It explains how they are not edible in nature. I just stopped eating grains and lost 25 lbs in a month.
CB: Not just carbs
RF: No, you can have carbs like fruit and potatoes, just no grains like bread, pasta or anything made with corn. We even switched alcohol. Ciroc has grapes and Petron is a plant so they are approved.
SB: It is funny because in "Shots" those were the two we named.

This holiday weekend is shaping up to be a scorcher, so be sure to add sweatbands to your "things to bring to Taste of Cincinnati" list (along with your Tums and earplugs). Below are some local music suggestions for Sunday's Taste.
Lollapalooza Day 2 dawned bright and early — I woke up a tad late, having burned the midnight oil too long the night before.
Rule No. 2 of Lollapalooza: Get enough sleep. Always. Especially if you'll be walking every-the-heck-where.
I had been invited to an after-party Friday night, sponsored by Belvedere Vodka, at the W Chicago City Center downtown. I went in my sweaty Lolla regalia, and was rewarded with performances by Two Door Cinema Club and Fitz and the Tantrums.
Machine Head has given us six studio albums with the seventh upcoming in September called Unto the Locusts (listen to the first single, "Locust," below). The band has headlined every Metal festival across the country and has been inspiring up and coming Metal bands for years. CityBeat caught up with lead singer Robb Flynn to preview this week's Mayhem Festival, which hits Riverbend this Wednesday. Flynn discussed the path that Machine Head has taken to get to its place among Metal's elite, the group's craziest fans and the band's new album.
Duke Energy Center isn't the first place that comes to mind when the words "sacred space" are uttered, but evidently God don't give a damn (sorry — dang) about the venue, just so long as you're singin', praisin' and believin'. The big building formerly known as the Convention Center is the site of the 42nd Annual Gospel Music Workshop of America National Convention.

West Virginia Farm Direct Marketing: A County Level Analysis
Brown, Cheryl, Gandee, Jesse E., D'Souza, Gerard, Journal of Agricultural and Applied Economics
To understand the factors that influence farm direct marketing, a linear regression model is estimated to test the relationships between county-level direct market sales and socioeconomic, agricultural production, and location characteristics for West Virginia. The results show that higher median housing value, increased population density, a younger population, a greater number of direct market farms, more diversity of fruit and vegetable production and closer proximity to Washington, D.C., increase direct market sales. The results have implications for other states with a large proportion of small and pan-time farmers, many of whom are located in close proximity to metropolitan areas.
Key Words: direct market sales, direct marketing, farm sales, farmers' market
JEL Classifications: Q13, C21
Consumer demand for fresh, local food products along with the potential for increased farm income have led to an increase in direct marketing of farm products. In the United States, sales of agricultural products from the farmer directly to the consumer increased from approximately $592 million in 1997 to $812 million in 2002, and the number of direct-market farms increased from 110,639 to 116,733 over the same period (NASS 2004). The number of farmers' markets, an important direct-market venue, also increased from 1,755 in 1994 to 3,706 in 2004 (AMS 2005). West Virginia, the study area, has followed this trend, with the value of direct sales of agricultural products increasing from $2.9 million in 1997 to $4.6 million in 2002, and the number of farms selling directly to consumers increasing from 1,303 to 1,434.
West Virginia is a rural state whose agriculture is largely comprised of small family farms. Ninety-five percent of West Virginia farms are family-owned and operated, and farms with annual sales of less than $50,000 accounted for 95% of all farms in 2002 (NASS 2004). At an average of 172 acres, the land base for the state's farms is small compared to the national average of 441 acres (NASS 2004). While this high density of small farms in West Virginia preserves its rural character, it also means few farm families can take advantage of the economies of scale that make extensive agriculture viable (Steele). Preserving the state's agricultural base requires an attention to enterprises that are feasible on a small scale, such as fruits, vegetables, and other high-value alternative crops along with direct-marketing strategies that allow farmers to capture a greater share of the consumer's food dollar.
There is considerable research on the consumer characteristics that influence farm direct marketing. Much of the research has found that the typical consumer who purchases from a direct-marketing forum is well-educated, upper-middle class, middle-aged, and resides within a suburban area (Gallons et al.; Kezis et al.; Lockeretz). Consumers choose to purchase directly from farmers for multiple reasons, such as quality and variety of available produce and a desire to assist local farm owners (Brown 2003a; Eastwood, Brooker and Orr; FPC; Govindasamy and Nayga; Henneberry and Agustini; Kezis et al.; Schatzer, Tilly, and Moesel; Wolf).
Unlike the consumption or demand side, previous research relative to farm or farmer characteristics that influence direct marketing of farm products is limited. Gale claims that small farms (<$10,000 annual sales), fruit and vegetable growers, and farms near metropolitan areas are more likely to sell directly to consumers, and that prices received can be significantly higher than wholesale and competitive with retail. Lyson and Guptill found that the type of crop grown on farms influences what they describe as "civic agriculture," which is characterized by more directmarket sales and a greater connection to local markets. In particular, civic agriculture farms are more likely to be fruit and vegetable farms. A Mississippi study (Morgan and Alipoe) concluded that fruits and vegetables were important for direct marketing, finding the amount of vegetable and melon acreage increased the number of pick-your-own operations, farm stands, and farmers' markets in a county. …

"Where does it all go?" Not a day passes without this question. Turkey puzzles, but unlike some years ago, in a bad way; that is, for all those who think that the economy is not everything and that it is just a tool for stability, freedom, democratic consolidation and justice.
Signals that define the agenda stem from the head of the government. Whatever Recep Tayyip Erdoğan utters, shapes the debate, which among reformist circles becomes more and more acidic.
The latest is his remarks in which he was whining about the current state of "separation of powers," which stirred things up more than a little. "Sadly, there are wrongs within the system, when we look at the problems," he said. "Because it was not established properly, you are blocked by bureaucratic oligarchy and confronted by the judiciary in the most unexpected of times and ways. You know this issue of separation of powers stands before you as an obstacle." These words were of course meant to address the rule of law and express dismay with its independence.
It is not hard to imagine the disillusion of those who voted yes in the referendum in 2010, which mainly was about reforming the judiciary. Yet, if any one argument speaks in favor of Erdoğan, it is found next door in Greece. In a story by Agence France Presse, we learn: "A tug-of-war between executive and judicial authorities has come to the fore after complaints by the government over adverse rulings that could affect the country's reforms. ... Since September, judges and prosecutors have staged rolling work stoppages to protest planned pay cuts, frustrating efforts to prosecute tax debtors." And, "The last straw there came when an Athens court overruled a 2011 emergency act by the Finance Ministry to collect property tax through electricity bills, a vital measure to increase state income."
It is understandable that the judiciary of countries in crisis like Greece or in transition like Turkey or Egypt can cause blockages due to its affiliations with the old regime or for selfish reasons. However, comparisons between Turkey and Greece, with regard to Erdoğan's complaint, end there. What justifies the rational -- not downright hostile -- critique against him is the fact that unlike in Greece, Turkey is ruled by a single majority party, and it is in everyone's right mind to ask what stops the Justice and Development Party (AKP) from speeding up the most urgent agenda item for the country: a new constitution that would be a reasonable, realistic consensus that resolves all of the pending issues, including the ones he complains about.
But, also, others from within the very AKP itself seem willing to join the chorus of reason. Immediately after his speech, Parliament Speaker Cemil Çiçek, as well as Burhan Kuzu, head of the parliamentary Constitutional Commission and Justice Minister Sadullah Ergin, followed each other in "interpreting" it in a way to diffuse the tension it created. We can take it for granted that more than those three in the party have been feeling the unease others outside feel because every such move confirms the perceptions that there is now a move from arbitrariness towards a temptation for one-man rule. Since they are linked, naturally, to the AKP proposals for a presidential system, defined by Professor Ergun Özbudun -- a Turkish member of the Venice Commission -- as "a system alla Turca;" thus, the shared concern of the EU, as reported by this paper yesterday.
The bitter fact, meanwhile, is that the work of the commission for a constitution is stuck. There is no way the deadline of Dec. 31 will be met with success. This has been confirmed by Ahmet İyimaya, a member of AKP and the commission. Known for his huge optimism, even he now is ready to throw in the towel.
In an interview with the Haberturk daily, İyimaya sees two options. Either extend the deadline to the end of February (he sees little hope even then) or abolish the current constitution by vote of Parliament so that Turkey proceeds further without one, just like Great Britain. He says it is doable, adding, "It will be a healthy, fruitful process, without a coup constitution, and the need deepens."
I do hope some people pay attention to what he says.

As a designer, exploring the world is vital. The people who color their world in beautiful clothing and ornaments, who live simple farmers' lives and never stop smiling, offer a dose of clarity to such a clouded westernized conscience.
Far from the mainstream tourism circuit, dozens of islands handmade from native totoro reeds float off the Peruvian shores of Lake Titicaca.
The thought of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service spending $25,000 to help convince a Peruvian fisherman not to turn Kermit la Rana into Kermit the Viagra Cocktail leaves me needing a stiff drink.
No, really. It is. According to Peru's Environment Ministry, over 12 million cubic meters of raw sewage are dumped into Lake Titicaca every year.

Anna Kibor, 48, of Kenya hasn't run a marathon in two years after recovering from a knee injury but has won the women's title in the 2012 Manitoba Marathon.
Kibor crossed the finish line at the University of Manitoba Stadium with an unofficial time of 2:49.45.
"I'm very happy," said the 48-year-old Kibor from Kenya.
The victory marks the first race in 2 years for Kibor - a break as the result of injury.
"I felt good out there. My injuries are fully recovered," she said.
Kibor arrived in Winnipeg on Wednesday after the race was recommended by a friend.
Nadyia fry was the second women to cross the line in the full marathon with a time of 2:51:14 and Cathy Cullen placed third with a time of 2:54:37.

I'm happy that I'm not alone on this but it saddens me to see so many with the same problem. I'm currently using a 4S with 6.1.3 firmware. I've been experiencing an almost 00.0Mbps data transfer for the last 3 weeks now. The internet works but almost at Edge speed. I can NOT stream off YouTube, Netflix, etc. Downloading updates for apps is almost impossible. I'm still on the old Unlimited Data plan and that's made me wonder if that was the case. My coworker's 4S has been running fine versus mine. Hardware issue or software issue? Either way, I just want my regular speed back!

in response to Echo3ToEcho7
@Echo3ToEcho7, I have not had any issues in the past year on my 4S. I don't know if AT&T has made infrastructure improvements, or iOS updates fixed it, or what, but the problems have gone away. I always strongly urge people to buy AppleCare, it is one of the few warranties that is worth it many times over. Start by contacting your carrier for support. If they can't resolve the issue, and they should replace the phone ultimately if they can't, then contact Apple. There are a very few companies in this world that have as good customer service as Apple.

Same thing here. I don't recall this happening until I updated to 6.1.3. I have an iPhone4S. Just to make sure my wireless router wasn't having glitches, I checked on my iBook; no problems. If it's just a router issue I have no problem buying one because I've been thinking about getting a router with an external antenna. I don't want to open the router I have now and make the internal antenna's external. I'm just too lazy. ;-)

im having the same problem ive got full signal and my 3g is fine ive been losing connection to the internet weather app facebook and the app store on and off for a few weeks now the past two nights ive lost connection over night this seems to have happened a while after i updated to 6.1.3 does anyone know if theres an update due keeps checking but it keeps saying my software is up to date i know a lots of people have had a recent update on i phone 5's just wondering why the 4s hasn't would be grateful if anyone can help??
Mattcas Jun 14, 2013 1:02 PM
in response to tpero
My iPhone4s is having the same problem, I updated to 6.1.3 and the next day I had problems. Sporadicly dropping 3G signal, phone goes to searching and can remain searching for days and then pop back onto the network. Wifi is working and when 3G works my signal strength is good. I've been told by both apple and verizon that its a hearware issue, just buy a new phone since my warranty has expired.
Given the frequency of the issue in this thread and the associated 3G drop with iOS 6.1.3 update it seems like this is a software problem. I've tried the recommended fixes and they have not worked. Apple please fix this problem.

Not sure if this will help anyone but I am in Spain using Movistar and having same problems as everyone else. Wifi is fine, when I leave house it says 3g but will not load Safari etc.... Tried EVERYTHING in all the ablve posts. Finally went to my local shop and checked my data package! According to the lady in the shop, Movistar have recently upgraded "something" on their system and it makes the whole service much quicker .... BUT you need a much larger data package. For 10 euros per month I now have 2GB per month, and everything is loading well, WITHOUT wifi switched on. I am going to test when I am out of the house tomorrow and see what happens. At the moment I have left wifi off .... I will post my progress - hope this helps someone - as I have been pulling my hair out for a week trying to solve this one!
Jay Imerman Oct 10, 2013 10:25 AM
in response to PTWMallorca
Yeah, like I said before, my problems mostly went away after trading in the first 4S, and I think the issue was either SIM card, or AT&T network. In the past 15 months I have had absolutely no issues, and not much different I did. The past 4 months have been on iOS 7.
So, I definitely advise whoever is having such issues, do not give up, keep on Apple and your carrier to identify and resolve.

I had the same problems too. I used to turn of data connection completely when i connected to wifi or vice versa. Always had issue to connect from wifi back to data. Now i found out the solution for my iphone 4s. I keep wifi and data connection on all the time. I noticed the phone seems to work perfectly fine if i keep wifi and data connection on. There is no problem to connect back to data connection. Since i figured it out my phone has been running in good condition.

June 23, 2015
Clean, cozy, spacious and comfortable, this was a great place to spend my early summer vacation. One of the features I enjoyed most was the many outdoor seating areas. We often lounged on the sunny, raised front deck in the morning, such a pleasant place to sip our coffee while listening to the calling seabirds. The large side deck was most enjoyable for dining al fresco. With the large table, gas grill and bar, it was a perfect place to entertain visiting friends. When we wanted a shady spot, the furnished patio on the ground floor was perfect. Colorful flower beds and patio pots made it even more so. The interior décor is contemporary nautical with so many cute touches. The bedding was new and fresh and the many windows throughout give it an open, airy feel. There is plenty of seating, in the large living room and in the sunny breakfast nook right off the kitchen. The kitchen is modern with new appliances, and plenty of cupboard and counter space. There is a door off the kitchen that leads to the side deck, so serving meals there was a breeze. We found the bathrooms to be spotless and modern, and the outside shower, post beach, was a big plus. Having a washer and drier on the premises was another amenity that allowed for more fun time for Mom. A long pebble covered driveway can accommodate several cars and we made use of the bicycles and beach chairs that were stored in the shed behind the house. We were so close to the beach and the restaurants and shopping area that it kept our driving to a minimum, and our relaxation and enjoyment to the maximum. Highly recommended.

Beyonce has posed as a sexy American football referee in a glamorous new photo shoot as she prepares for her musical comeback at the Super Bowl this weekend.
Beyonce has posed as an American football referee ahead of her musical comeback at the Super Bowl.
The 'Best Thing I Never Had' songstress will lead the halftime musical performance at the big sporting extravaganza on Sunday (03.02.13) and teased fans on what is to come wearing a sexy fitted black-and-white pinstriped referee's shirt.
The glamorous beauty took a high fashion approach to the classic outfit, however, pairing the shirt with high-waisted leather hot pants and knee-high boots in the photo, which she posted on her Tumblr account.
Beyonce will follow in the footsteps of Madonna and Janet Jackson by performing a live set during the halftime of the football game, and it has been rumoured she will be reunited with Destiny's Child band mates Kelly Rowland Michelle Williams for a medley of the band's greatest hits, including number one singles 'Survivor' and 'Independent Women'.
The 31-year-old superstar is also set to release her fifth studio album later this year after taking time away from music to give birth to her and husband Jay-Z's first child, daughter Blue Ivy in January 2012.
The singer began her comeback trail at United States president Barack Obama's inauguration last week, singing the US national anthem. Her performance came under fire amidst speculation that she lip-synched instead of singing live.

App privacy firm MyPermissions found this week what it called "a worldwide vulnerability" in Facebook's mobile apps. Essentially, developers could force the app to crash every time a user tried to revoke that app's permission to access information. Thus, access was left open to personal data on the tablet or phone. However, according to Yahoo! News, MyPermissions quickly contacted Facebook and Facebook quickly responded to fix the issue. "They did a fantastic job of getting in touch with us very quickly," said MyPermissions CEO Olivier Amar. "Facebook takes this very seriously, and I'm very impressed by them." While no official word has been issued, the report states the bug was likely fixed by end of day Thursday.
