Agricultural Policy and Production Experts Discuss Strategies for Feeding a Growing Global Population
TOKYO, April 7, 2010 – Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack today delivered the keynote address at the Partners in Agriculture Global Food Security Symposium sponsored by the U.S. Grains Council. The symposium provided a unique opportunity for government, academic, and civil society leaders from the United States and Japan to come together to discuss the challenge of ensuring food security in the face of a rapidly growing global population and climate change. Vilsack is in Japan to promote stronger ties between the United States and Japan in the area of agriculture as part of President Obama's efforts to expand U.S. exports through the National Export Initiative.
Below are excerpts from Vilsack's remarks as prepared for delivery at the Global Food Symposium:
"Last year's economic woes caused a dramatic increase in the number of people around the world who do not have enough to eat. Estimates from the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization suggest that in 2009, for the first time ever, more than 1 billion people around the world were chronically hungry. And throughout the developing world, a child dies every six seconds from malnutrition and related causes …
"Food insecurity is first and foremost a moral issue. We should all feel a humanitarian imperative to take on the challenge and ensure that children do not go to sleep hungry. But it goes beyond that.
"No matter where they live, children will only realize their full potential if they have regular access to food. Giving a child the opportunity for a brighter, more productive future, affects not only the individual child, but the community where that child is raised, the country where he or she lives, and all of the world. Working to eliminate food insecurity across the globe will provide incredible economic benefits to developing and developed countries alike. It will increase political stability in conflict and poverty-stricken regions, and put these countries on a path to future prosperity.
"One thing that the statistics do tell us is that the past approaches to global hunger – which focused efforts on providing food aid – are not enough. In the short term, we must still provide food to those who need it most. But in the longer term, we need a comprehensive approach focused on developing sustainable solutions to eliminate food insecurity. Our goals should be to increase the availability of food by helping people and countries produce what they need, to make food accessible to those who need it, and to teach people to use it properly so that they make the most of it …
"Last year I attended the first ever meeting of G8 agriculture ministers in Italy. We produced a strong declaration of support for the critically important task of promoting food security. And at last year's summit, the G-8 committed to increase international assistance for agricultural development to $20 billion over the next three years. This year's budget, and President Obama's budget request for next year, put the United States on track to provide at least $3.5 billion of that total.
"And the truth is this commitment could not have come soon enough. In the coming decades, ensuring global food security will only become more difficult. We face the reality of a world population that is growing by 79 million people each year, the equivalent of 6 Tokyos. Future food demand is expected to increase by 70 percent by 2050 – challenging our capacity to grow and raise enough food….Growth in agricultural productivity, faces increasing threats from scarce water supplies, and competition for energy resources from industry and urbanization.
"Climate change also promises to have an outsized impact on the global food supply. Variations in temperature, increased frequency of extreme weather like drought, floods and storms, and the spread of pests and diseases to new geographic areas will likely impact productivity….These challenges are sobering reminders of why food security must remain at the core of the international agenda. And, they point to a future where investing in agricultural development is the only way to find a permanent solution to hunger.
"As we pursue agricultural development our efforts must be long-term. Quick fixes are not enough. We must help countries find strategies to increase crop outputs by adopting the latest seed technology, improved irrigation systems and land management techniques, and by appropriately applying fertilizer. We should help build strong post-harvest infrastructure like roads and cold storage, and encourage vibrant local markets with transparent information and improved financial services.
"Food security efforts must be country-led and country-driven and focused at the local and community level. That means engaging farmers in small villages so they can provide their ideas about developing the agriculture sector, so that we can help them with technologies, techniques and crops that fit their culture and lifestyle. It means our focus must reflect an understanding of the role of women in farming, who account for between 60 and 80 percent of food production in most developing countries …
"But as I indicated before, we must utilize all of the appropriate tools in our toolbox – and modern agricultural technologies will play a critical role. Developing countries should look at improved seeds for crops that are drought tolerant or disease resistant. Agricultural biotechnology – with and without genetic engineering – is a powerful tool that can be used to boost agricultural productivity and build prosperity among the rural poor.
"Emerging technologies holds the promise of creating crops that better tolerate drought, toxicity, disease and salinity….Because of its vast potential, it is essential that developing countries around the world develop consistent and science-based regulatory processes governing biotechnology. Regulatory decisions must be based on science and not fear. The biggest costs of not taking advantage of this safe, accessible, productivity-enhancing technology are borne not by the world's affluent consumers, but by the world's poorest farmers …
"In short, a critical step towards global food security will be achieving a more efficient global market that is based on established international rules that reduce barriers, reduce costs, and increase reliability of trading systems.
"In the months and years ahead, it is incumbent on both the United States and Japan to work together to tackle the food security crisis. Helping countries through broad-based agricultural growth makes moral and economic sense. We only have to look at the example of Japan to see the impact development assistance can make. Since the end of World War II, Japan has moved from a food aid recipient to the thriving developed country we see today – with one of the strongest economies in the world. Today we are vibrant trading partners, a relationship that benefits both our countries citizens.
"In the coming years and decades we must give the world's poor a reason for hope by tackling food security with a renewed commitment to agricultural development. The world's economic and political stability, and the prosperity of our two nations, depends on how well we meet this challenge."

CDC has found 90% of those who may have received contaminated steroid
WASHINGTON - Federal health officials said they've tracked down more than 90 percent of the roughly 14,000 people who may have received contaminated steroid shots, urging anyone with early symptoms of potentially deadly meningitis to seek help fast.
Of the 170 people sickened in the outbreak, all but one have a rare fungal meningitis, and 14 have died, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Thursday.
One person identified by Michigan health officials received the steroid shot in the ankle and has an infection there. While the biggest concern is for people given the shots for back pain, the CDC said people who received the injections in joints should also be alert to signs of localized infection, including redness, pain, swelling and fever.
More than 50 vials of the steroid produced by a specialty pharmacy in Massachusetts, the New England Compounding Center, have been found contaminated with some sort of fungus, said Deborah Autor of the Food and Drug Administration. The investigation is continuing into how the contamination could have occurred.
But a Massachusetts official said Thursday that it appears the company violated state law governing how compounding pharmacies are supposed to work.
Idaho becomes the 11th state to report at least one illness. The others are Florida, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee and Virginia.No local problem
The steroid linked to the outbreak was not used in local hospitals, officials say. Geisinger does not use New England Compounding Center products, spokesman Matt Van Stone said. Nor did hospitals in the Commonwealth Health network get the tainted steroid solution, spokesman Jim McGuire said.

The Texas Rangers. A Century of Fro*tier Defense. By Walter
Prescott Webb. Pages xv, 584. (Boston and New York:
Houghton-Mifflin Company, 1935.)
"A Texas Ranger could ride like a Mexican, trail like an
Indian, shoot like a Tennesseean, and fight like a devil." This
terse description is the central theme of Webb's book. With his
skill at simplification he shows how these traits were evolved in
the clash in Texas between the Anglo-Americans and the Mexi-
cans and Indians whom they sought to overcome or displace. It
was necessary that the Texan learn from his adversaries; cour-
ageous and resourceful though he was, he had to adjust his equip-
ment and fighting tactics to conform to his new environment.
He had to adopt the plainscraft of the Comanche, the horseman-
ship of the Mexican, and add to these certain innate or acquired
qualities which his enemies did not possess. Among the things
the Texans learned was that they had to fight. They could not
surrender to the Indians, neither would the Mexicans show mercy
to a vanquished foe.
The distinctive characteristics of the Texas Ranger force were
developed by 1835. They were "an irregular body; they were
mounted; they furnished their own horses and arms; they had
no surgeon, no flag, none of the paraphernalia of the regular
service. They were distinct from the regular army and also
from the militia." Thenceforth until 1935, when the organiza-
tion was all but legislated out of existence, the Rangers main-
tained this system and practice. The scope of their service has
been wide and varied. They have served as a State police force;
for several decades they fought marauding Indian bands and
patrolled the frontier settlements in an effort-not very success-
ful-to make secure life and property among the pioneers; and
repeatedly they have been called upon to defend the settlements
near the Mexican border against assaults of bandits and guerrilla
bands. They have never been discreet in their tactics or partic-
ular as to the place where they fought. On at least one occasion
they made an extended campaign into Indian Territory and they
repeatedly invaded Mexico. During the last fifty years the or-

My Gyes Swallow copy is comfy enough for shorter rides (50 miles or less) but after 80 miles my nether regions are numb and I worry about my powers of performance, ahem.
I noticed a Brooks B17 Imperial with perforated and laced sides, in good shape, for $75. What do you think about the cut-out saddles? It's enough money that I won't buy it on a whim, but not too much to buy it for a reason.
There is also an old Brooks Professional with the copper rivets and mile-thick leather, but unfortunately the leather on the nose is looking iffy - the upper rivet hole on the nose is elongated and I worry if it will last. Only $30, though.

Teenage sisters raise funds for tornado victims
High school students Taylor and Teagan Sirset created their charity, Artists and Athletes Who Care, as an emergency response to natural disasters. They supported those affected by the Yorba Linda fires a few years ago by donating clothes and other resources for the families in need.
The sisters also have organized many fundraisers for their local community.
Last year, the duo put together an ice skating fundraiser in response to the tornado in Joplin, Mo. Admission to the rink was donated to the victims affected by the tornado.
The teens also have raised funds for orphanages in China and Buenos Aires, Argentina, as well as donated to the Ronald McDonald House in Orange.
One of their recent acts of humanitarianism involved a fundraiser for a Boys & Girls Club in Lakewood where they raised $500.
Taylor, 17, a competitive figure skater, performed as Dorothy from "The Wizard of Oz," while Teagan, 14, sold raffle tickets to the audience.
Both girls are active in school clubs and personal activities. Whether it's soccer, figure skating or singing, the sisters are dedicated to using their talents for a greater good.
"The mission of this philanthropy is to use our God-given talents to help children and families that are in need," Taylor said.
The sisters' most recent fundraising event was held at Yorba Linda Ice on May 31.
All donations were given to the families affected by the Oklahoma tornadoes.

Now with Rita forming and becoming the 17th named storm this year, 2005 becomes the fifth most active hurricane season on record.
Hurricane records date back to 1851, and FSU professor Dr. Jim Elsner has charted each of their courses.
Dr. Jim Elsner says, "Florida is completely covered in a map of all the storms historically. All of the other states, you can recognize, but Florida, it's covered."
Not since 1995 has the "R" letter designated a storm name, and before that, Dr. Jim Elsner says, "I think we have to go back to 1933 when we had 21 storms before we had anything close to this activity. I think it's the warm waters in the Atlantic. They are unusually warm, and that generates lots of storms."
The state Emergency Operations Center is a bee hive of activity as plans are made for rescue and supply operations for the Keys and south Florida.
On its current track, Rita has the potential to disrupt oil drilling operations in the Gulf, and it will almost certainly disrupt oil and gas shipments in and out of Texas ports.
Jeb Bush says it's still important to conserve.
Gov. Jeb Bush says, "If the storm is approaching and gasoline has to be diverted, we have to be managing that and be concerned about it."
As the 17th named storm approaches, there are still 73 days left in hurricane season, making it better than even that 2005 will break the record for hurricane activity.
Gas supplies could be a concern a week or two down the road, but for now officials say the state currently has plenty of fuel in storage.

Ino Patron continued his hot streak with two doubles and triple Thursday.
March 28, 2013
Long Beach, Calif. - Ino Patron hit a triple and two doubles to lead the Dirtbags offense, but Long Beach State fell in too deep of a hole on Thursday night, falling 10-5 to Cal State Northridge in the first game of a three-game series.
The Dirtbags fell behind early, as Shane Carle surrendered a pair of runs in the first inning after giving up two singles in the first three at-bats around a sacrifice. Nate Ring's single scored Michael Livingston, and then Ring came around to score on an RBI single by Justin Goosen-Brown.
Long Beach State (9-16) was able to pull back one run in the bottom of the inning, scoring Jeff McNeil after a leadoff hit. Juan Avila singled to put runners on the corners, and then Patron pitched in an RBI groundout to cut the lead to 2-1.
Patron was also involved in tying the score for Long Beach State in the bottom of the third inning. Juan Avila reached on a two-out error, and Ino Patron cracked a 0-2 breaking ball into right field for a triple off of the wall, tying the game at 2.
Cal State Northridge (12-12) capped off a rough outing for Carle by scoring four runs in the top of the fourth inning. After a leadoff walk to Kyle Ferramola, Carle struck out Alexis Mercado, but then gave up a single, a hit batter, and a single with an error to score two runs. A suicide squeeze followed by a third hit in the inning brought home two more runs as the Matadors took a 6-2 lead.
The Dirtbags pulled back one more run in the bottom of the fourth inning, with Richard Prigatano extending his Big West lead with his ninth double before coming around to score on a groundout and a sacrifice fly from Zack Rivera.
The damage continued for Carle in the fifth, giving up three more runs on a walk and three hits, with the big knock coming from Kyle Attl on a two-run double to left center.
Both teams added runs in the late innings. The Matadors added one run in the top of the seventh, while Long Beach State pulled back two in the bottom of the eighth. Ino Patron led off the inning with a double, coming home to score on a pinch hit single from Zack Belanger. Belanger then scored on a fielder's choice that left two runners on when Michael Hill beat the throw at second, but both runners were stranded to end the threat.
The series continues tomorrow night at 6 p.m., with southpaw Jake Stassi taking the mound for the Dirtbags. The final game of the series is scheduled for 2 p.m. on Saturday.

Surfer, 26

"Want to know one of my best beauty secrets? Surfing. I think the salt helps my hair texture. And because I'm in the sun, my cheeks are always rosy. But the saltwater sucks moisture out of my skin. A good lotion, like Eucerin, is a must; so is sunscreen. For my body, I use Coppertone Sport spray--it absorbs fast, so I don't slip off my board! I use Shiseido sunscreen cream on my face and their Sun Protection Stick on my lips. My mom always says, 'You've got your skin for your whole life, so don't be afraid to spend a little money to keep it nice.'"

SAN FRANCISCO — Just how big is Apple's next product reveal going to be? All signs point to it being a massive blowout of an event — far bigger than the standard iPhone "s" upgrade the world is expecting.
New Apple Music ads introduce you to your next favorite artists
Three new Apple Music ads show off Cupertino's creative cool, highlighting musical acts and touting the tagline, "All the artists you love and are about to love, all in one place."
Apple Music puts a human face on the mess that music's become
Apple's big idea for transforming the way we experience music is bringing a personal touch — and a simple, unified platform — to the tangled technological mess that music's become in 2015. Apple Music is classic Apple: putting a human face on technology that threatens to overwhelm us.
Tim Cook brought out high-profile artists, and Apple's team of industry insiders, to show off what he called "the next chapter in music" today at the Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco.
"I know your are going to love it," Cook said, introducing Apple Music. "It will change the way that you experience music forever."
Here's what Apple Music will bring to your ears.
What's inside Apple's mystery tent?
SAN FRANCISCO — Another Apple event, another mysterious building sprouting up seemingly overnight. They pop up to shield Apple's prep work from prying eyes, but they also fuel the imaginations of anybody who's interested in Cupertino's next move.
The latest such structure — this time with solid white walls and a tented, tarp-like roof — isn't nearly as elaborate as the gigantic building erected before last fall's Apple Watch event, but the mysteries concealed could be gigantic.
The big reveal comes at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts next Monday, when we will almost assuredly learn more about the Apple Watch (among other things). Until then, all we can do is wait and wonder: What could be hidden inside Apple's mystery tent?
Trent Reznor is working on top secret music project for Apple
Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor became an Apple employee this year when Beats was scooped up for $3 billion, but in an interview with Billboard, the former Beats chief creative officer reveals that his position at Apple isn't just for show, he's actually working on a secret new music project.
Reznor says that Apple is tapping into his creative energy to help create a new music delivery service, and even though he just wrapped up a huge tour and cemented another Oscar nod with his Gone Girl score, Reznor thinks the new service will have a huge enough impact on the music world that's it's well worth the effort.

If you all had a chance to read about my fledgling hawk in the garden blog, you may be wondering like I was what ever happened to my baby(s), as I was very concerned about the neighborhood dogs (including my own chows) grabbing the babies on the ground when we weren't looking.
Well I'm happy to say, there are 2 younglings now up in the Douglas Fir trees, squeeling for all they are worth for mom and dad to come feed them (from dawn till dusk)
Yesterday I was so lucky to have caught these images (the first of the baby….the other 2 are of one of the parents) as baby was getting a flying lesson while I painted my arbor….and thats me putting on the primer on my arbor….the final paint is matte black…very striking!!! I'll show you pix of that in the next post.
You can see all the photos and read more at my blog at this link
Have a beautiful weekend everyone!!! Happy gardening!!
Yay that the babies are growing up well! Great pictures!
Thank you Kath!!! It's a real relief to see them up in the trees rather than worrying about them on the ground thats for sure!!!

Park rises from ashes of politics
One of the worst of many bad moments for Scranton City Council during the reign of President Janet Evans was its rejection of a $50,000 grant to construct a playground on a former school site in North Scranton.
Council rejected the project primarily because the majority's arch-enemy, Mayor Chris Doherty, wanted to build it.
Now, dedicated volunteers in North Scranton, along with the administration and an innovative national program, are making a playground rise from the political ashes.
In a single day, volunteers from several North Scranton neighborhood groups, the North Scranton Rotary Club and the Junior League, descended upon the site of the former Benjamin Rush School, in the 1700 block of Perry Avenue, to build the playground.
They're using a $20,000 grant from KaBOOM, a Washington-based nonprofit that advocates playgrounds within walking distance of children's homes, along with $5,000 each from the Scranton Area Foundation and Martha Briggs Foundation. The city government also is soliciting donations of materials such as fencing and concrete.
The project continues a trend in North Scranton, where volunteers several years ago led the restoration of long-suffering Weston Park.
Here's hoping the playground long serves neighborhood kids. It already is proof that progress need not always be captive to petty politics.

Dear God, how the mighty have fallen. In recent years, Queensryche have been best known for putting out some really shitty albums, to the point where hearing that Geoff Tate had been fired from the band might have been the best news since... ever. Horrible cabaret shows, all around terrible music, and downright turning your back on metal. Don't get me wrong, this isn't about a change in style. Some bands need to try new things and evolve, but I'd probably even defend "Lulu" over the piece of shit "American Soldier." Ok, maybe not. Regardless, despite the fact that Queensryche's recent efforts have ranged from sub-par to terrible, and their fan base pretty split, there was time this was a phenomenal power metal group, and despite only being four songs, this short EP may honestly be one of the greatest chunks of US power metal ever.
The album opens with Queen of the Reich, a fast paced track which features Geoff Tate's amazing vocals wailing over the band. Truly once Geoff Tate had a voice that could hold its own amongst the best in metal, and while not world-changing and showing a little Iron Maiden-gallop influence, Chris DeGarmo absolutely had some great talent. The solo on this song is very speedy, and fits in with the tune very well. This is a time when Queensryche knew not only how to write a goddamn song, but perform one as well. And a metal song at that. It's unfortunate they've fallen from being poised for greatness to being a shitty cabaret rock act.
The Nightrider features a mid paced, or maybe even doomy, series of riffs at the beginning, going into a near speed metal power song. Again, Geoff's voice impresses us to the point that we should question maybe it was he, and not Paul McCartney, who died in a car accident and was replaced by an actor/clone/aliens (that's a thing, some something and Google that shit). The song slows down for the beginning of the solo, going back to the intro riff after a bit, all the while an incredibly solo from DeGarmo, before Geoff informs us to beware of the night.
Blinded may be the weak track on here, although at this point a weak Queensryche track was still powerful, like a mighty kick to the testicles. It's not quite as fast as the previous two, but still above mid paced, and the chorus is quick and catchy, even though I have no fucking idea what he's saying from the vocal layering. Something about voices calling. The end is just.. strange. But at 3 minutes the song clocks in as the shortest on the disc, and really, it's pretty good overall.
The. Lady. Wore. Black. Who the hell wrote this. Clearly not Geoff Tate, the asshole responsible for American Soldier could never write this. DeGarmo? If so, why the hell has he resigned himself to flying planes in Seattle. Possibly one of my favorite Power Metal ballads.
And that's it. Some versions include a bonus track, Prophecy, which I believe is actually an outtake from "The Warning," and some include a bonus Live show. Which is fine. I own the version with "Prophecy," I think it fits better on "The Warning" but it's a fine addition, and the live show is fine. But as far as the main attraction, these four songs are among the best the band composed, which is not at all a bad benchmark, or me cutting down on anything they did after. Well. Until "Empire." Things sort of fell apart after "Empire." But at least we have those first five releases. And hey, without Tate, who knows what direction this band could take… no high hopes though.

Glorious Days shaping up to play with big boys
Related topics
John Size is typically circumspect ahead of saddling up his international aspirants Glorious Days and Fay Fay in Sunday's star-studded Oriental Watch Sha Tin Trophy, 1,600m.
Size's task was made easier yesterday when the horse that beat Glorious Days in the Champions Mile last May, John Moore-trained Xtension, was withdrawn with a minor joint concern although the six-year-old is expected to go to the Jockey Club Mile next month.
Glorious Days has yet to win at Group One level but his first season of racing as a four-year-old yielded four wins, three placings at Group One and Two and 14th in the Yasuda Kinen.
Size had intended the trip to Japan to bring Glorious Days on mentally, wherever he finished, and he said it appeared to have had the desired effect.
"He behaved very well in Japan, he was a perfect model for a horse to take away and that was what we were hoping for," Size said. "He came home in good shape - finishing where he did in Japan, he didn't overexert himself and he took no harm from it. He's had a good break and done everything right."
December's Longines Hong Kong Mile is the target for Glorious Days - a hoodoo race in which Size has saddled up the second placegetter three times.
"He's just turned five, he hasn't had a lot of racing so there's every reason to think he should be able to continue making progress," Size said. "The horse seems to have come back well and the evidence of his trial the other day is that he's feeling pretty good. Obviously, Sunday isn't his main target and there's some improvement to come, but I'm hopeful he can win."
While Glorious Days has shown he can play with the big boys, Size concedes Fay Fay has yet to do the same despite a Derby win against his own age group and a record that reads 12 starts for six wins and four seconds.
"He's a different type altogether and the reality is that he has a low rating for this sort of company - he's rated 113 by the handicapper and had to win a Derby to get to there," Size said. "So he hasn't really proved he is up to the class of some of these horses. He hasn't really got the acceleration the Group One horses have, but that won't stop him winning a handicap if he gets it run right to suit. Sunday is a handicap, he has only 117 pounds to carry and every horse should have a chance."
As far as the December internationals are concerned, Size is keeping an open mind on a target for Fay Fay.
"He'll be entered for two internationals, the Mile and the Cup, and then it will be up to the Jockey Club whether they want him for one of those races or not," the trainer said. "But if he can win a race like this … I think he would probably get a call-up for one."

Giants' Smith to Have Season-Ending Surgery
Victor Cruz made a surprise visit to the Giants locker room Wednesday, looked down the empty row of receivers' lockers and said, "This is nuts." Mr. Cruz is one of the now five receivers the Giants have had to put on Injured Reserve this season, the number growing this week whenever the team officially sidelines veteran Steve Smith. The reigning Pro Bowler suffered damage to his ACL in Monday's 21-3 win over the Vikings and will require season-ending surgery. Domenik Hixon (knee), Sinorice Moss (hernia) and Ramses Barden (ankle) are the three joining Mr. Cruz (hamstring) and Mr. Smith.

Nets Acquire Vujacic in Three-Team Deal
The Nets on Wednesday acquired Lakers guard Sasha Vujacic, while sending former 11th overall pick Terrence Williams to Houston in a three-team trade. The Nets also acquired protected first-round draft picks from the Lakers and Rockets, while veteran Nets forward Joe Smith was sent to the Lakers in the deal.
Mr. Williams was demoted to the D-League last month after multiple violations of team rules. The swingman was averaging 6.7 points a game along with 3.6 rebounds. Mr. Vujacic, 26, is averaging 1.8 points a game this season.
—Kevin Clark
Yankees Give Prior a Shot at Comeback
The Yankees got a stellar half-season out of Kerry Wood last summer. Now, another former Chicago Cubs pitching prodigy will have a chance to resurrect his career in pinstripes. The Yankees signed 30-year-old right-hander Mark Prior to a minor-league contract Wednesday and will invite him to major-league spring training. Mr. Prior, whose once-promising career was derailed by injuries, hasn't pitched in the majors since 2006. He has spent most of the past four years recovering from shoulder surgeries.

Even though training camp has not begun for the 2009 season, I wanted to make some long-range predictions of team needs exiting this season, and into the 2010 NFL draft.
Pass rushing OLB- The Niners are going to start Parys Haralson and Manny Lawson at the Will and Sam backer positions in 2009. Unfortunately, neither player is outstanding at rushing the passer, and the Niners will probably, once again, have one of the most anemic pass rushing linebacker tandems of any 3-4 team in the league. Haralson is a nice complimentary rusher, but as the person assigned to be the main guy in attacking the QB, he is in the bottom tier of 3-4 Wills in the NFL. While Haralson did pick up 8 sacks last season, which is a good number statistically, he does not provide consistent pressure against the QB, which is even more important that sacks themselves. Sack totals only tell part of the story. Teams have to game plan for Merriman, Ware, Harrison, and need to be aware of these guys at all times. The same cannot be said for Haralson.
Haralson's potential best move would be to the Sam position next season. Lawson is a terrific athlete, and is squarely in the wrong place and the wrong system. Manny is clearly a 4-3 Tampa 2 backer, and the Niners' system is simply not a good fit. He is best in coverage in the flats, running free around the field, using his speed and athleticism to track down TE's and RB's. He is not best in attacking the line of scrimmage, and taking on blockers. In a perfect world, I would love for the Niners to move to a 4-3 defense (to best utilize both Manny and Patrick), but the team is going to stick with the 3-4 defense. So, in my opinion, it is best to deal Manny for whatever compensation we can pick up.
Left Guard- I think this will be the end of the road for David Baas in 2009. He will surely be the starter this season, but the Niners do not seem bent to extend him beyond 2009. The reason? He is an average guard, at best, and the Niners are not confident he is the long-term answer. While Staley, Heitmann, and Rachal all look to be starters for some time now, the Niners will need an upgrade at left guard. Snyder is not the answer, nor Wragge. The Niners are not going to play Wallace there (too small), and are certainly not going to move Heitmann to guard (he was outstanding at center last season). While RT may need some attention in 2010, the Niners have some players that could emerge as the starter for years down the road (M. Smith, Boone, Bender). The same cannot be said at guard.
Baas is pretty good at straightline blocking, but when asked to move laterally, the wheels begin to fall apart. He is not athletic enough to pull on a regular basis with any form of confidence, and does not react well enough to defensive adjustments. There is no doubt that he is smart, but the Niners have committed to improving the OL the past few seasons. I see the next step taking place at LG.
TE- Here is where the controversy will begin. Argh!!! Every year, I expect Vernon Davis to become a game-changing TE, and every year I am severely disappointed. The desire seems to be there. He has learned to become an outstanding blocker, and seems to work hard at his game in the offseason. The problem is that he doesn't have a feel for the passing game, and I am beginning to be skeptical that it will ever happen. The best TE's in the game have great instincts, and show it very early in their career. They see seams in zone coverage, they know when to sit down, when to come back to the ball, they know how to get a LB to lean off balance to gain an advantage. Davis has none of these skills/abilities/traits. He is an excellent deep target, but the main role of a tight end is to be a solid, reliable, consistently open target for a QB.
The Niners have seemingly upgraded their WR core the last two seasons with Morgan and Crabtree. Both have excellent playmaking ability. The Niners now need a player who can make a real difference in the passing game at TE.
As in the case with Manny, the Niners would be best off dealing Davis to another team before the 2010 draft.
Positions I have left off for 2010:
QB- I think the Niners will find their QB for the next few years during this season. Either Shaun Hill will establish himself as a legitimate starter in this league, or Alex Smith will emerge as a guy who will begin to fulfill the promise everyone expected years ago. I do not see the Niners drafting a QB in the 2010 draft.
NT- The Niners seem more and more intrigued by the possibility of shifting Kentwan Balmer to NT in 2010, and I believe the movement may begin this season. Franklin played really well toward the end of 2008, but may be gone after 2009. Sopoaga is probably good for another year in 2010, but needs improve to keep a starting job down the road. I believe Balmer will get his shot to start at NT in 2010.
FS- The Niners are really excited by Dashon Goldson, and he will get his shot to be the leader of the secondary in 2009. Although I am uncertain he'll be a star, I believe he'll also get another year as the starter in 2010. Beyond that is a crapshoot.
RT- As stated earlier, I believe the Niners are going to find their RT for 2010 on this current roster. It may be M. Smith, Boone, or Jacob Bender. As stated in previous draft forums, most NFL teams are really reluctant to burn a high draftee on a RT. The Niners felt the same way in 2009, and bypassed the position in the draft entirely.
In recap, I expect the Niners to use both first round draft picks in 2010 on impact positions: A combination of a Brandon Lang/George Selvie/Sergio Kindle (we'll have to see how his injuries and potential legal issues stack up) and Jermaine Gresham (someone who knows how to get open on the football field) may be the first rounders, while the team selects guard Sergio Rinder/Thomas Austin in the second round (the Niners have selected guard in the 2nd round three times in the last 6 years...Rachal, Baas, Smiley).

Best SSDs for ~£280: Performance & Capacity Option
|Crucial m4
|Sequential Read
|415 MB/s
|Sequential Write
|260 MB/s
|Power Consumption (Active)
|Power Consumption (Idle)
If you're looking for a higher-capacity SSD with more of a performance-oriented flavour, we're torn between Crucial's 256 GB m4 and OCZ's 240 GB Agility 3. Both hover around the same price and offer similar performance. However, our recommendation this month goes to the 256 GB m4 because it's slightly cheaper per gigabyte.
For most enthusiasts, this really tops out the budget, especially since we imagine that you'll want even more storage for user data, necessitating a couple of 1.5 or 2 TB hard drives. There are larger options, but the performance picture really doesn't get much better.
Best SSDs for ~£285: High-Capacity Option
|OCZ Agility 2
|Sequential Read
|285 MB/s
|Sequential Write
|275 MB/s
|Power Consumption (Active)
|Power Consumption (Idle)
If you are willing to spend more to get a better deal, OCZ recently dropped the price on its 240 GB Agility 2. At £285, you're only paying £1.18 per gigabyte. While this isn't as much of a performance-oriented SSD in light of today's more aggressive options, you're still getting a lot of bang for your buck.
Many people prefer the Vertex 2 to the Agility 2, but the only real difference is that the higher-end Vertex employs OCZ's optimized firmware to achieve better performance, while the Agility utilizes SandForce's more generic firmware implementation.
0qpop , 14 October 2011 14:11The M4 was updated recently to 0009 firmware; read speed boosted to 500mbps read 200mbps write. That's surely gotta pip Adata to the post (due to controller not relying on compression algorithm)
0Full-Metal , 14 October 2011 16:36Wot no Corsair & gt version?
0bingonairobi , 14 October 2011 19:46Intels reputation for reliability gets another boost, which must seem like a pretty sick joke to the people posting here: http://communities.intel.com/thread/24121?start=45&tstart=0 and elswhere on the Intel Communities site.
0aje21 , 14 October 2011 20:26Glad to see the OCZ Vertex Plus 60 GB get recommended, I bought one for a work laptop...
0doive1231 , 16 October 2011 02:43Is the Crucial M4's active power consumption figure correct? Your own review
says its around 2W not 0.15W. Only asking because I might buy it for a laptop.

I caught a shiny Rattata in Heart Gold so I decided to make it useful. Raticate's sad lack of Fake Out makes it completely unacceptable as an anti-lead so I did it anyway. Here are six moves I'm having difficulty making four:
-Sucker Punch
-Thunder Wave
Taunt is meant to disable things that exist to hide small sharp rocks in my cake. Leads do that. If the lead switches to something that knows it can set up on Raticate, he roars it away. It also helps me scout a little. If the thing tries to punch Raticate instead of switching, he punches the sucker first. The synergy between Pursuit and Thunder Wave/Taunt is obvious, but Pursuit is my least favorite option. I'm running an anti-lead Raticate; I'm pushing things enough already. U-Turn is a practical choice because it's nice to think that something might switch out on a Raticate, but it's much more likely that he'll be the one who has to beat it.
I thought about doing something with Endeavor but it didn't feel nasty enough. I discounted Swords Dance because my pest is wild-trapped, not from lab stock, and thus has not evolved the ability to set itself on fire and whirl suicidally into whatever poor forest creature. Please leave an opinion unless your opinion is dumb. I bet it isn't though. You're too pretty.
Oh, and I don't raise no coward, but the poor guy's ability is Run Away. Made me sad too.

Deal DetailsLast Edited by wavesine November 12, 2012 at 09:23 PM
Regular price is $159. I think these were supposed to be for the Black Friday sale but they put them out early. Can you say kegerator? These compact refrigerators are heavy and I can't believe it ships for free at this price.
FYI, this unit uses true compressor technology (it's not a thermoelectric cooler) so it can keep things really cold. I looked at the compressor on one of these in the store and it was a quality LG unit. Magic Chef also sourced compressors from Jiangsu so you might want to check yours when you get it. Don't forget to drill a hole in the side of your new fridge for a beer tap.

.- On the last day of his Apostolic voyage to Turkey, Pope Benedict XVI celebrated Mass for the country's Catholic community, affirming that the Church does not wish to impose its faith on anyone but, "merely asks to live in freedom," in order to reveal Christ Jesus.
The Holy Father reminded the numerous Catholics gathered in the Cathedral of the Holy Spirit that the Church, "has been charged to proclaim (Christ's) Gospel to the ends of the earth (cf. Mt 28:19), transmitting to the men and women of our time the Good News which not only illuminates but overturns their lives, even to the point of conquering death itself. This Good News is not just a word, but a person, Christ himself, risen and alive!"
"The Church's mission," he added, "is not to preserve power, or to gain wealth; her mission is to offer Christ, to give a share in Christ's own life, man's most precious good, which God himself gives us in his Son."
To this end, the Pope said, "the Church wishes to impose nothing on anyone…she merely asks to live in freedom, in order to reveal the One whom she cannot hide, Christ Jesus, who loved us to the end on the Cross and who has given us his Spirit, the living presence of God among us and deep within us."
Present at the Mass were representatives of the numerous Catholic rites and communities which exist in Turkey. Also present were Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I of Constantinople, Armenian Apostolic Patriarch Mesrob II, and Syro-Orthodox Metropolitan Filuksinos Yusuf Cetin, as well as representatives from the Protestant Churches.
Pope John Paul, "expressed his hope that the dawn of the new millennium would 'rise upon a Church that has found again her full unity, in order to bear witness better, amid the exacerbated tensions of this world, to God's transcendent love, manifested in his Son Jesus Christ,'" Pope Benedict said. "This hope has not yet been realized, but the Pope still longs to see it fulfilled, and it impels us, as disciples of Christ advancing with our hesitations and limitations along the path to unity, to act ceaselessly 'for the good of all,' putting ecumenism at the forefront of our ecclesial concerns, and not committing our respective Churches and communities to decisions which could contradict or harm it. Thus we will truly live by the Spirit of Jesus, at the service of the common good."
"To manifest the Spirit, to live by the Spirit, is not to live for oneself alone, but to let oneself be conformed to Christ Jesus by becoming, like him, the servant of his brothers and sisters," Benedict said.
"Together with the Virgin," he concluded, "let us pray to Christ her Son: Send forth, O Lord, Your Holy Spirit upon the whole Church, that He may dwell in each of her members and make them heralds of Your Gospel!"
The Cathedral of the Holy Spirit was inaugurated in 1846. Under the altar are relics of several saints, among them St. Linus, St. Peter's immediate successor who served as Pope and died as a martyr in 69 AD. In 1884, Pope Leo XIII also donated to the cathedral a relic of St. John Chrysostom, who served the Church of Constantinople.
Prior to the Mass the Holy Father paused in the church's courtyard to bless a new statue of Blessed Pope John XXIII, which is to be place in a local church. He also released three white doves.
In the courtyard also stands a statue of Pope Benedict XV (1914-1922), erected by the Turks in memory of that Pope's commitment in favor of the Turkish victims of World War One. An inscription on the statue reads: "To the great pontiff of the world tragedy, Benedict XV, benefactor of peoples without distinction of nationality or religion, in recognition."
Thank you
Following Mass, the Pope expressed his appreciation for "the understanding and patience," and for "the truly warm welcome I have been shown, also because I know that my presence over these days has created no small disturbance in the daily lives of people in this city."
At the conclusion of the ceremony, the Pope went by car to the airport of Istanbul where he bid farewell to the ecumenical patriarch, the Armenian apostolic patriarch and the Syro-Orthodox metropolitan. Before boarding the plane bound for Rome, he met briefly with the governor of the local region and the mayor of Istanbul.

This study aims to gather descriptive information about students use of strengths using qualitative theory. Strengths programming directors nominated students based on explicit criteria. The students were interviewed on their backgrounds, strengths programs, signature strengths, strengths application, capitalizing, and benefits of capitalizing. Data indicate that college students who are the best of the best at using their strengthsthe capitalizersutilize sustained social supports and build on successful experiences that give them the confidence to apply their strengths in new situations.
