Aden + Anais Muslin Baby Produects
The Aden and Anais Company
was founded by Raegan Moya-Jones in 2006. Raegan was expecting her first child and had moved to the United States from her native country of Australia. Reagan wanted to incorporate her Aussie tradition into raising her baby and went to purchase a muslin wrap as this was one of the main things an Australian mom used to swaddle their baby. Living in New York, Raegan searched and searched, but she couldn't find any muslin wraps anywhere. She scoured the country, but the ones she finally ran across were just too small or too thick. Raegan was determined to create and develop a swaddle wrap that would meet all mothers' needs and this was the beginning of Aden and Anais. The Aden and Anais muslin baby products are made of cotton muslin, organic muslin and rayon from bamboo fiber muslin. The products that Aden and Anais feature are swaddles, sleeping bags, security blankets, bibs along with laundry care products designed for a baby's delicate skin as they are free from chemicals, dyes and petroleum. Aden and Anais are made of cotton muslin and organic muslin that is the perfect material that babies need for their delicate skin. All the needs of babies for sleeping bags and blankets along with the swaddles are their number one selling products. The swaddles are being used by celebrities and all mothers around the world. Aden and Anais have received many prestigious awards which include the NYIGF 2012 Best New Product Award for the Serenity Star Sleep System that is a feeding diary, sound machine, room temperature indication, night light and clock. Aden and Anais has also received an award from INC.500 2012 award of the top 500 list along with receiving the 2012 Cribsie Award for the burpy bids that Aden and Anais sells. Aden and Anais provide exclusive and unique gifts for babies that are made of muslin. An amazing company meeting the needs of mothers.

In Final Sprints Tune-Up, Heavyweights Take On Reigning Ivy Champ Brown
LIVE VIDEO l LIVE AUDIO l NATIONAL POLL l CONTENT CUP HISTORY
Princeton will get one more test before the May 19 Eastern Sprints, and it will be as challenging — and enlightening — a test as the Tigers could want.
The sixth-ranked Tigers will start a full day of home racing at 9 am when they take on fifth-ranked Brown during the annual Content Cup regatta. There will be four races, held every 20 minutes, that conclude with the varsity eight showdown.
Princeton comes into the weekend with an 8-1 record, including its impressive victories over No. 9 Cornell and No. 11 Yale last weekend in New Haven. Princeton won both the second and third varsity races during a highly successful morning on the Housatonic.
Brown is 1-3 on the season, though that record is as deceptive as possible. The Bears' three losses have come to reigning national champion and currently top-ranked Washington (3.3 seconds), No. 2 Harvard (1.1 seconds) and No. 4 Northeastern (.4 of a second). Brown has won five of the last six meetings in this series, and it holds an 11-8 advantage overall.
The morning will also be an important race for the Princeton second varsity, which currently holds the top spot in the EARC seedings poll. A win over Brown would likely assure Princeton the top spot at Sprints. The 3V is in a similar position, as it holds the No. 1 spot, and Brown has the No. 2 spot.
While the race will be an important one for seeding and momentum heading into Eastern Sprints, it will also be a memorable one for the members of the Princeton Class of 2013, which will be competing in their final varsity race at home.

Women's Wednesday - Broads, Bikes and Beers: A Bike Trip to Pueblo
Submitted by Cheri Felix on
Author, Cheri Felix rides Fruita
I'm a lot of things. I'm a good planner. I'm a good trip leader. And I'm fun to ride with. One thing I am not is super flexible. Or easy- going. When I make a plan to go to Fruita to ride my mountain bike, I expect it to happen. About this time last year, my girlfriends and I were supposed to go to Fruita but the weather looked super iffy so we started scouting for other locales. I went to the Accuweather and NOAA websites more times than I can count and eventually we decided that we'd go to Pueblo. I should say that making this decision was a bit like going through the five stages of grief; denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance (thank you Elizabeth Kubler-Ross). It's so hard to NOT go to Fruita.
So off we went to Pueblo with our bikes and a cooler packed with beer and tequila. Once in Pueblo, we went straight to Vance's Bicycle World and met Vance who is super friendly and extremely knowledgeable. He helped build a lot of trails on the South Shore so he knows what he's talking about. My best advice is to always go to the local bike shop and talk trails and buy something if you can to support the shop. From there we went to straight to the trailhead (5 minute drive) (after getting a wee lost due to excessive chatting) and following local advice (possible car theft), we parked in the State Park ($7.00). With maps in our packs, off we went, exploring and learning as we went. I can look at a map all day but until my tires roll on the dirt, I haven't got a clue. I'm the girl who pretended she saw her babies in the ultrasounds…
We rolled fairly easy the first day, just trying to get our bearings. The trails were great. Flowy and super single in some spots. Lots of cacti on the sides of the trail kept us focused. The second day, we wanted a bit more "community" so we parked at the Red Gate (no fee). It's a great starting point because you can stay on the single track trails or you can fall right into the slot canyons where you'll find more challenging rocks to ride and people-made ramps to drop off from. For me, it's the slot canyons that make me smile. I love the flowy single track but I like to see how far a lowered seat post and shin guards can get me. Keyhole, Skull Canyon, and Dead Dog and Lower Dog are all worth your time. We also rode up Stonehenge (another canyon) which provided the cardio I wanted.
The longer (less technical) rides that hug the periphery of the park are not to be missed. You can ride Voodoo, Outer Limits, Inner Limits, Pedro's Point and still have some energy for the slot canyons. A cool surprise was the Driftwood trail. Just like it sounds, the trail is surrounded by driftwood with some nice logs to roll over. Don't miss it.
Pueblo is not Fruita. It's Pueblo. It's a great place to put a lot of miles on your bike and get that feeling that you did when you were a kid; like you could ride all day or at least until you got called into dinner. Don't miss Solar Roast Coffee which (you guessed it) uses solar power to roast their coffee and they get their veggies from their own veggie gardens. Also, The Daily Grind had great espresso and amazing breakfast burritos. I'm still thinking about that burrito. Pueblo doesn't seem to have the same mountain bike culture as Fruita or Moab but that might change (hint hint Pueblo). Then again, I'm not super hip. I might have missed a trailhead party invite. Either way, Pueblo is a great place to ride, a great place to drink some beer and a great place to sip some yummy espresso.
Hints: Be careful of the cacti. Be sure to bring a patch (for sidewall tears from shale). Bring a tiny roll of duct tape for cacti encounters and possible patching options. Bring a map! And take lots of water (as usual). The Southern Colorado Trail Builders site is packed with good to know before you go information.

Yale Hands Men's Basketball First Ivy League Loss
Four times, the Tigers have had Ivy League winning streaks of at least 20 games, the most recent of which came into Saturday night's game against Yale.
Twenty-one straight Ivy League victories under Jadwin's roof, however, is where this most recent streak will end.
Riding the outcome of a first half in which it shot 65 percent from the field, Yale beat Princeton 69-65 Saturday night to stop Princeton's overall winning streak at six games and drop the Tigers to 11-8 overall and 4-1 in the Ivy League.
Harvard, which will play a postponed game at Columbia tomorrow, benefits from Princeton's loss by standing as the only league-undefeated team in the Ivy at 5-0.
Princeton will complete the first half of the Ivy League double round-robin next week, Friday at Dartmouth and Saturday at Harvard.
Yale's largest lead was eight points, taking a 34-26 edge into halftime after making 13 of 20 tries from the field in those opening 20 minutes. Princeton immediately set about cutting into the deficit, and the Tigers squared it at 40-40 less than seven minutes into the half.
Princeton led by one point on two occasions, last at 50-49 just past the midway point of the second half, and the Tigers spent most of the night playing catch-up. The team's last gasp ended in a steal by Yale's Matt Townsend after Princeton took the ball with 38 seconds remaining the game and ran the clock down to its last few ticks without getting off a shot.
Yale clung to its 67-65 lead at that point, and Austin Morgan sealed it with a pair of free throws for the 69-65 final margin.
Javier Duren led the Bulldogs with 13 points, while Morgan and Sam Martin had 11 apiece. Denton Koon led Princeton with 16 points while Ian Hummer added 14 and Will Barrett chipped in 11.
The key statistical measures mirrored the outcome of the game with narrow edges for the Bulldogs on all fronts. Yale outshot Princeton 54.8 percent to 51.1 percent, outrebounded the Tigers 22-21, and had fewer turnovers, 16-13.
Postgame notes
• The longest Ivy League home winning streak in Princeton history remains the 27-game run the program had from 1974-77, and the streak that ended Saturday was the program's longest since winning 26 in a row from 1996-99.
• Brown was the last Ivy League team to beat Princeton in Jadwin Gym, back on Feb. 20, 2010.
• A win Saturday would have put Princeton halfway to the Ivy League record for consecutive home wins in conference play, set by Penn when the Quakers won 44 straight Ivy contests at The Palestra from 1977-83.
• Princeton entered the night as the Ivy League leader in field goal percentage defense, allowing opponents to shoot just .412 this season.
• Ian Hummer chipped away at the gap between him and Kit Mueller '91 for third place on the Princeton career scoring list. Hummer now has 1,469 career points to Mueller's 1,546.
• With nine points for T.J. Bray, Princeton remained undefeated at 7-0 when Bray scores 10 or more and 3-8 when the junior guard has a single-digit total.
• Princeton had been undefeated at 6-0 this season when shooting 50 percent or better from the field. Princeton's .511 clip was its highest in a loss since shooting .578 in an 82-67 loss at Penn on Jan. 30, 2012.
• Yale's .548 shooting percentage was the highest for a Princeton opponent since Northeastern shot .575 in a win over the Tigers in Jadwin Gym on Nov. 13, 2012.
• Yale had lost four in a row in Jadwin Gym, last winning in Princeton in 2008. Yale defeated Princeton in New Haven last season.
• Princeton's 16 turnovers were its most since committing 17 in a win at Kent State on Dec. 1, 2012. The Tigers had committed just eight Friday night against Brown.

Monster Cup of Tea
Seeing this is disappointing, in a way, but it's also rather pleasing. And it's not that we didn't know there was a guy in there, it's just that the original imagery is so very iconic that one can kinda, you know, lose track of the fact.

Didier Reynders calls for reconciliation among Egyptians
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs Didier Reynders is very concerned about the persistent and pervasive violence that continues to plague Egypt. Such violence is clearly a threat to the country's socio-economic and political stability. The Minister deplores the fact that numerous people have been killed over the past few days and calls on all parties to exercise restraint.
Egyptians must opt for inclusive dialogue and reconciliation, the only means by which the entire population will have the benefit of peace, security, prosperity and stability. This is the message put forward by the whole of the European Union, as was once again repeated by High Representative Catherine Ashton during her visit last week. Minister Reynders actively promoted this point of view during his August visit to Cairo, and inclusive dialogue and reconciliation are now more urgent than ever.
For that matter, the Minister again stated that terrorism can only be combatted effectively if due regard is given to human rights.

DENVER—Baseball fans may be heading to Arizona to catch a few preseason games. Wine enthusiasts might be looking to visit California. Families could be on their way to Disney World. But those with a passion for fashion? They're booking flights to Denver this spring break.
The Mile-High City is the one and only stop in North America for the highly anticipated Yves Saint Laurent: The Retrospective, an exhibition to be presented at the Denver Art Museum March 25 to July 8, in collaboration with the Fondation Pierre Bergé–Yves Saint Laurent.
Canvassing more than 40 years of work from the celebrated designer, who died at age 71 in 2008, the show features garments, photos, drawings and films painting a picture of fashion as art.
MORE was at a preview of the exhibition, attended by Laurent's business partner and companion Pierre Bergé and curator Florence Müller, to see works spanning the period from 1958, when Laurent was the very young head of the House of Dior, to 2002, the year of his final runway collection, represented here by stunning evening gowns.
The show includes a peek at the artist's studio, a section chronicling Laurent's breaking of gender traditions by putting women in trousers and pantsuits, incredible pieces designed for some of the world's most stylish women (think Grace Kelly, Nan Kempner, Paloma Picasso, Lauren Bacall and Diana Vreeland), as well as a look at his long friendship with actress Catherine Deneuve.
The retrospective examines Laurent's love of art, presenting his dresses inspired by the likes of Piet Mondrian, Vincent van Gogh, Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse. There are tiers of ball gowns from throughout his career, each creation more beautiful than the last. But the real showstopper is the display of 40 iconic YSL tuxedos for women.
"Two questions I've been asked quite a bit in the last month: Why Denver? And: Is fashion art?" Denver Art Museum Director Christopher Heinrich says. "We built this building, the Hamilton Building by Daniel Libeskind [a 2006 addition], to host shows like this, to host world-class shows of world-class art. And certainly the retrospective Yves Saint Laurent is one of these."
Bergé offers a simpler answer to the first question.
"Why not Denver? Denver is not a city in the middle of nowhere," he says. "People from Denver like art, love art. In your country, art is not reserved for a happy few in New York or Chicago or San Francisco."
As to the question of whether fashion is in fact art, Heinrich says, "Art is what a great artist does, so obviously this is art and that's why we celebrate it."
Bergé's take is slightly different.
"I think fashion is not an art, but I'm convinced fashion needs an artist to exist, and Laurent was an artist," he says. "Remember, all of the outfits were created by a man who was a great artist, who was inspired by many, many artists."
Müller says that 200 silhouettes were chosen for the retrospective from 5,000 complete outfits in the YSL archives, and that putting together the exhibition was "an adventure."
"It's the most important retrospective ever done on Yves Saint Laurent," she says. "[These are] original outfits that were shown on the podium through 40 years of fashion."
During a guided tour of the show, Müller paused to point out a particularly famous YSL cocktail dress from 1965, a tribute to Mondrian.
"It's a big moment in the story of fashion, because it's the first time you have such a [successful] encounter [between] the world of art and the world of fashion," she says, adding that Laurent took the idea of a painting and translated it to a dress using a patchwork-like technique. "It's very difficult to make something with the idea of being flat, with the shape of the body under it. It looks simple, but it is not."
She says the dress, along with a 1966 wool jersey number with a face pattern inspired by American artist Tom Wesselmann, belong to the Pop Art movement.
"Warhol took things from the supermarket and put them in museums, and Yves Saint Laurent did the same thing, from art to fashion," Müller says.

Piñon Market & Café, 2095 E. 1300 South, SLC, 801-582-4539
Topham prefers desserts with a frankly homemade look to the schooled style of a specialized baker. Her apple cranberry crumble tart combines the favorite holiday seasonal fruits and can be prepped in several steps.
Tips from the Chef:
Making a crisp instead of a tart eliminates the need for pastry.
Consider your prep steps so you can divide the work into several days; this is usually possible with desserts.
Always chill your pie/tart dough prior to baking to prevent slumping and shrinkage.
Bake pies in Pyrex pie pans for better and more even browning and cooking.
Bake pies and tarts closer to the floor of the oven for the nicest crust.
Place the pie/tart on a rimmed baking sheet before placing it in the oven to catch drips.
Individual desserts make each guest feel special.
For garnishes, you can't go wrong with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce.

Rutgers Blanks @PUSoftball in Final Tune-Up for Ivy South Play
In the Princeton softball team's final game before Ivy South play begins Saturday, Rutgers limited the Tigers to four hits in a 4-0 shutout Thursday afternoon in Piscataway.
Princeton's (20-12) tandem in the circle of Liza Kuhn (5-5) and Meredith Brown also limited Rutgers to four hits, but the Scarlet Knights (23-15) drew twice as many walks.
The second inning was the game-changer, with Rutgers using three singles, two walks and an error on a bunted ball to score three runs. The Scarlet Knights tacked on another in the sixth on a double steal following a leadoff single and the final walk of the day.
Princeton had its chances, leaving seven runners on base while Rutgers stranded nine. In the second inning, Princeton had runners on the corners with two outs before a strikeout ended it. In the fourth, Princeton reached three straight batters with one out, but two Tigers struck out to end that threat. Candy Button had a leadoff double in the sixth, but she was stranded at third base.
Princeton will return to Ivy League play Saturday and Sunday at Penn in a pivotal series. The Tigers, at 5-3 in the Ivy, stand two games back of Penn with 12 to play including these four head-to-head meetings in Philadelphia.

Full SubmissionAgriculture for a Green Economy: improved rural livelihood, reduced footprint, secure food supply The transition to a green economy is fundamental for addressing the social, environmental, and economic pillars of sustainable development. As a sector, agriculture is essential to the green economy. With a predicted 9 billion people by 2050, agricultural production will have to increase to meet new demands, for food, feed, fuel and fibre. Agriculture must not only meet demand ? it must also do so while minimising its environmental footprint and creating sustainable livelihoods for farmers and others along the supply chain. In a time of food insecurity and with the largest share of its population in developing countries living in rural areas, the world cannot afford to ignore the potential of agriculture to achieve the triple goals of a secure food supply, poverty reduction through improved rural livelihoods, and environmental sustainability through reduced footprint of production and climate change adaptation. Agriculture by nature represents a mosaic of solutions and practices, focused on farmer needs and knowledge sharing. Sustainability is a moving target towards which farmers in different geographies and farming systems are already moving and they will need support to continuously improve. Agriculture for a Green Economy:
improved rural livelihood, reduced footprint, secure food supply Agriculture in a green economy means a broad-based, knowledge-centred approach to agricultural development. Key to achieving this goal is a focus on:
? Addressing implementation gaps through support for knowledge sharing; and advisory and training services; ? Ensuring agricultural policies are based on science;
? Supporting productivity through innovation and best practices. The Farming First coalition supports the implementation of the outcomes of CSD17 on agriculture as the basis for any outcome on agriculture for Rio+20. 1. Reducing Poverty
Agriculture can be a potent driver for poverty reduction. The World Bank estimates that GDP Growth from agriculture generates at least twice as much poverty reduction than any other sector. Currently 65 percent of people in developing countries are involved in agriculture. 1.3 billion of them are small farmers, with limited access to inputs, infrastructure and markets1. In countries where agriculture represents one of the primary livelihoods, concerted efforts to improve productivity through sustainable practices could change the lives of millions. A dynamic and productive agriculture sector is also essential for the urban sector. In 2010, for the first time ever, more people lived in urban areas than in rural areas globally. Urban populations are dependent on the agricultural sector for most of their consumption, so improving local production and trade is crucial; but it also means a world of opportunities for farmers who can reach the urban market. Making agriculture a dynamic sector will require the adoption of supportive frameworks and investment in infrastructure and markets. Farmers need to be able to access markets at the local, regional and global level in order to sustain a livelihood from their activities. In some areas, this means improving access to transport, storage and market facilities. In Tanzania, US$2.4 billion of investment is being directed towards tripling the area?s agricultural output and maximising the trade potential of the Dar es Salaam port for Tanzania?s neighbouring landlocked countries. Through the Southern Agricultural Growth Corridor of Tanzania project (SAGCOT), both public and private sector organisations are supporting 20,000 smallholders to become commercial farmers to bring in annual revenues of an estimated US$1.4 billion into the country. Access to weather and price information and improved seeds also helps farmers grow better crops and sell at better prices. For instance, in India, a late December harvest of mustard seeds was causing up to 30 percent of crop to be lost to frost, so breeders worked on a seed with a shorter duration period. This enabled farmers to harvest in early December, avoiding the issue of frost. Farmers also benefited from better prices as they were able to bring their seeds to the market before the usual excess occurred in January. 2. Enhancing sustainable productivity
Improving the footprint of agriculture while increasing production needs a concerted effort in two areas: first closing the uptake gap of existing best practices and technologies by focusing on knowledge sharing and creating supportive extension services networks; and second investing in innovation and research to provide the solutions for tomorrow and ensure agricultural policies are science-based. Enhancing sustainable productivity must be the centre of efforts to make agriculture both environmentally sound and economically dynamic ? we need to achieve more crops per drop of water, per acre of land, per measure of inputs. This is essential to ensure the surface of land under cultivation does not expand, in order to preserve biodiversity and natural carbon sinks. Producers need to be integrated in value chains and new activities need to be developed in processing and other sectors to improve rural incomes and ensure that Growth in productivity translates into better livelihoods. The 2009 Keystone ?Field to Market? research found that gains in yield per acre in the past 20 years in the USA had also been accompanied by significant improvements in the overall efficiency of resource use. The project looked at key crops such as soybean and maize and found reduced use of irrigated water, reduced soil loss, habitat loss, energy use, and lower carbon emissions. The Field to Market study clearly showed that progress has been made by farmers in the path to increased sustainability while enhancing their productivity. Additionally, efforts should be increased to promote sustainable agri-food systems throughout the lifecycle. In 2010, FAO estimated that poorly developed systems for handling, storage, packaging, transportation, and marketing of agricultural products in developing countries results in post-harvest losses ranging from 15% to a staggering 50%. Investment in food infrastructure and handling could reduce losses and improve food safety. Developed countries also face losses due to food waste from harvest, through delivery to food services, and in households. Waste is worst in fresh produce which delivers vital nutrients to humans around the globe. 3. Innovation, Research and Extension services
Agriculture is a knowledge-intensive sector. Farmers need to have access to training, extension services, and sharing of traditional knowledge that can encourage the production of abundant and nutritious crops and mixed diets. Knowledge helps farmers adopt practices that maximise the efficiency of the inputs they use and help protect the natural resources they depend on. Training programmes should specifically involve women farmers in developing countries as essential ?gatekeepers? for household nutrition and welfare. Providing this education to rural communities in a systematic, participatory manner is essential to improving their production, income and quality of life. Extension services disseminate practical information related to agriculture, including correct use of improved seeds, fertilisers, tools, tillage practices, water management, livestock management and welfare, marketing techniques, and basic business skills to address poverty. Extension is also an essential pillar for rural community progress including support for the organisational capacity of farmers? groups and the formation of co-operatives.
Modern extension services must increase their capacity for two-way information sharing ? between experts in research and farmers themselves who have essential information on farming. Research and extension should be functionally linked and there should be pluralism in the approaches to implementing this form of education. Mobilisation of the scientific, donor, business, NGO, and farmer communities are needed to improve knowledge sharing, as well as local, reliable SME?s such as agro-dealers to be able to adopt new practices and technologies. The Empowering Smallholder Farmers in Markets (ESFIM) programme promotes this collaborative approach to research. Working in eleven developing countries, the initiative both partners farmers? organisations with local researchers to voice their requirements more effectively, and provides farmers? organisations with information and knowledge that will strengthen their ability to collect, organise and exchange experiences and knowledge.
Farmers must constantly adapt, and the challenge of climate change is making that need ever more acute. Investing in research and development, in both public and private sector, is essential to ensure farmers have the tools they need in the future and that the gains obtained in productivity and footprint are not undermined. Targeted investment in research, combined with supportive frameworks for the roll out, diffusion and uptake of the products of research are essential to support continuous improvements in agricultural sustainability. In particular, research on the needs, aspirations and knowledge of smallholders in the developing world can help ensure agricultural solutions are appropriate for local conditions. Interdisciplinary research into agricultural production, supply chains and consumption needs to be supported to ensure a holistic approach to agricultural development. The Farming First coalition supports prioritising the following areas of research:
? Conduct agronomic research related to water availability, soil fertility and post-harvest losses, as well as climate change challenges
? Conduct research into crop varieties needed by the poorest and most vulnerable regions
? Promote farmer-centred research in accordance with their needs
? Explore alternative and efficient uses for agriculture products and by-products along the value chain ? Support research on the nutritional quality of foods. Recommendations to Policymakers
As global leaders prepare to meet at the Rio+20 (UNCSD) summit in 2012, they should not neglect the central role of agriculture in delivering a green economy and to the role of farmers as drivers of these changes. Comprehensive solutions are needed for sustainable agriculture, and the Farming First Principles offer a comprehensive view of how this may be achieved. In the context of discussions on the Green Economy, Farming First supporters offer the following recommendations for incorporating agriculture into their agenda focusing on the ?green economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication?. 1. Poverty reduction: Make agriculture a driver for poverty reduction by ensuring policies link producers to markets and enable value to be created throughout the supply chain to help create income opportunities and diversify rural activities. 2. Focus on enhancing sustainable production and productivity: the world will need to produce more with less to meet demand and reduce its environmental footprint. Increasing production and productivity should be a priority to protect habitat. 3. Invest in training, knowledge sharing, extension services, as well research and development to close the uptake gap for existing tools and ensure new solutions are available for tomorrow. Farming First Principles A Call for Action Farming First provides a call-to-action for policy-makers and practitioners to develop a locally sustainable value chain for global agriculture. It emphasises the need for knowledge networks and policies centred on helping subsistence farmers to become small-scale entrepreneurs. The framework highlights six interlinked imperatives for sustainable development. 1. Safeguard natural resources. Land management should be improved through the widespread adoption of sustainable practices of land use. ? Conservation agriculture can be used to prevent soil erosion and land degradation. ? Manage watersheds and water use more efficiently. ? Protect wildlife habitat and biodiversity through an integrated ecosystems approach. ? Provide incentives for improving ecosystem services. ? Promote a sound management of chemical substances, including through the improvement of health and safety conditions for agricultural workers. 2. Share knowledge. While much of the knowledge needed to improve global agriculture already exists, including within remote indigenous communities, it often does not reach those farmers that could benefit most. ? Increase the level of education on crop and natural resource management for farmers and agricultural workers, including women. ? Take substantive measures to eliminate child labour and make sure children benefit from decent work conditions and access to education. ? Promote the development of village-based knowledge centres. ? Provide access to scalable information technologies for farmers, including women and young farmers, to receive weather, crop, and market alerts, as well as other early warning systems to help them make the right decisions for sustainability and productivity. ? Establish open and transparent two-way exchanges that capture the ?voice of the farmer? in the process of policy formulation and implementation. 3. Build local access and capacity. Fundamental resources should be available to farmers, including women and young farmers, to help them manage their production process more reliably and at less cost. ? Secure access to land and water resources, especially for women farmers. ? Provide rural access to microfinance services, especially to microcredit. ? Build infrastructure ? particularly roads and ports - to make supplies available to farmers. ? Establish training programmes in infrastructure management, operations and maintenance for local and regional settings. ? Improve access to agricultural inputs and services, including mechanical tools, seeds, fertilisers, and crop protection materials. ? Encourage and co-ordinate multiple local actors to ensure information and supplies get into farmers? hands. ? Invest in bioenergy to achieve energy security and rural development through sustainable, local production. 4. Protect harvests. In many of the poorest countries, 20-40% of crop yields are lost because of inadequate pre- and post-harvest support. Likewise, vast quantities of food are squandered during the production and consumption phases of the food chain. ? Build local storage facilities and transportation mechanisms, including cold chain storage for food preservation. ? Localise the application of agronomic knowledge, pestidentification and meteorological information. ? Educate the public on sustainable consumption and production needs and behaviours, including the need to reduce food waste. ? Provide risk management tools to support farmers in managing weather and market variations. 5. Enable access to markets. Farmers need to be able to get their products to market and receive equitable price treatment when they do. ? Provide remote access to up-to-date market pricing information. ? Develop well functioning markets through transparent information, fair prices, sound infrastructure and reduced speculation. ? Encourage co-operative approaches to marketing for smallholders. ? Improve smallholder farmers? marketing skills through entrepreneurship training. ? Reduce market distortions to improve opportunities for all strata of agriculture worldwide. 6. Prioritise research imperatives. Achieving sustainable agriculture requires intensified, continuous research, prioritising locally relevant crops, stewardship techniques, and adaptation to climate change. ? Conduct agronomic research related to water availability, soil fertility and post-harvest losses, as well as climate change challenges. ? Conduct research into crop varieties needed by the poorest and most vulnerable regions. ? Promote farmer-centred research in accordance with their needs. ? Improve productivity through the responsible use of science and technology. ? Establish public-private research collaboration around integrated solutions. ? Increase investments from governments and business towards relevant R&D. ? Explore alternative uses for agriculture-based by-products along the value chain. About Farming First Farming First is a global coalition calling for a broad-based, knowledge-centred approach to increase agricultural output in a sustainable and socially responsible manner. The coalition includes scientists, farmers, engineers, business, and NGOs.

To Conduct Cellular Censuses Sequence Deeply...
Widespread Adoption of Biomarkers Has Been...
Diseases of the Eye That Cause...
Peptide Drugs Are Not Only Diverse...
Ingenuity Systems and Geospiza agreed to integrate their software products, IPA and GeneSifter, respectively, to enable what they call "a seamless new next-generation sequencing analysis workflow." Researchers will be able to obtain deep biological insights from their project samples through a rapid and reliable workflow to analyze and visualize next-generation sequencing data.
The Ingenuity IPA software helps researchers model, analyze, and understand complex biological and chemical systems. It can be used to search the Ingenuity Knowledge Base for information on genes, proteins, chemicals, drugs, and molecular relationships to build biological models, according to the company. IPA provides biological context to facilitate informed decision-making, advance research project design, and generate new testable hypotheses.
GeneSifter Analysis Edition is a cloud-based data analysis product for microarray and next-generation sequencing data. It aids in the incorporation of sophisticated data management and computation analysis, resulting in improved quality and productivity in experimental and decision-making processes.
"This is a perfect synthesis of expertise, in my opinion," says Christopher Mason, Ph.D., professor of computational genomics at the Institute for Computational Biomedicine at Weill Cornell Medical College (WCMC). "Geospiza has already worked with every modality of sequencing from every known platform and will work with all of the emerging technologies. They have shown that they can easily convert raw data to per-base dynamics, and the logical next step for contextualizing genetic, epigenetic, transcriptional, and/or proteomic common and rare variation is to overlay these changes within the known and predicted pathways and drug targets that are well-annotated and curated by Ingenuity."

Tiger Heavyweights Open Season Saturday With Added Competition, Motivation
Greg Hughes graduated from Princeton in 1996, in between the commencement years of football coach Bob Surace '90 and basketball coach Mitch Henderson '98.
Both Surace and Henderson got productive seasons out of freshmen on their respective Princeton squads this past season, and now Hughes will have that same opportunity on a varsity level.
A rule change in men's rowing now allows freshmen to compete at the varsity level, and it has altered Hughes' view on his entire squad.
"It's a strong class, and I don't think I see them seperately anymore," Hughes said. "I guess it's like other coaches, who just see their players as forwards or point guards. They don't care that they are freshmen.
"It has led me to be more aware of them, and in greater contact," Hughes said. "Their development can impact us right away. If they earn it, they'll get the chance."
The freshman class can come in a little hungrier, knowing it now has the opportunity to compete in the biggest collegiate races of the season. But they will have to earn it against three classes of returning rowers who are just as hungry to wipe away the disappointment of the 2012 IRA national championships, as well as compete for its first Eastern Sprints championship since 2006.
Princeton will open its 2013 season Saturday morning at 8 am against Georgetown and Syracuse. The first varsity competition will be open a full home weekend of Tiger rowing. The third-ranked Princeton open women will take on No. 6 Ohio State and No. 13 Brown at 9 am, while the men's lightweights will compete against Georgetown at 10:40.
On Sunday, the women's lightweights will make their season debut against Wisconsin at 8 am in a showdown between the last two Eastern Sprints champions.
You might think that Princeton is especially looking forward to meeting Syracuse, since it was the Orangemen that pulled past the Tigers in the 2012 IRA semifinal. But Hughes isn't even remotely interested in looking at any other program out there.
"Honestly, I don't care about anybody else," he said. "We have stuff we need to take care of right here."
Hughes is more than pleased about the work being done, both on his staff and from his rowers. He considers Spencer Washburn, his partner-in-crime since their days winning national titles with the Princeton lightweights, as a "co-coach."
And he has two coaching interns with spectacular résumés, including one who will have a keen understanding of the challenges facing the Princeton student-athlete. Ian Silveira '12 stroked the Princeton varsity eight last season and has returned to begin his coaching career, and he is joined by Rob Munn, the former Washington captain who led the Huskies to two straight IRA national championships.
"They have been a great addition," Hughes said of the pair that helped the U.S. men's eight win a U-23 World Championship last summer. "Both are training here, and both are working hard with our team. It's exciting to have a guy like Rob who has won the races that we want to win."
To win those races this season, Princeton will need to find the right mix of talent from its four classes, and then they will have to perform in the biggest races. If any of the younger rowers need an example of what it takes to reach that optimal level, they'll need to look no further than their own captain, Mike Evans, who helped the British fours to a bronze medal at the U-23 Worlds.
"Mike is a very seasoned rower with a lot of experience," Hughes said. "A guy like that helps any program, and he creates a target for our younger rowers as what they need to strive for. He brings a lot of intensity to the boathouse."
Clearly, that intensity is rubbing off on all classes, as shown in a very tight finish in the 13th annual Crash P's, the boathouse-wide 2K erg race. Freshman Pat Eble, sophomore James Hamp and junior Jason Kopelman were among the top performers, which shows the dispersed talent within the program.
"Programs get faster when there is competition from the bottom up, starting with walk-on and 3V guys and moving all the way up to the varsity," junior David Mackasey said. "When these boats perform, it forces the other boats to respond and race even harder to continue to get faster. We've raced hard every week through spring break as we near our season and as coaches try to make sense of potential line-ups. We've made gains on our boat speed and no matter who ends up sitting in which seats, I think Princeton Crew, not only the heavyweight program, is ready to make a push at something special this spring."
With freshman eligibility and good depth throughout the program, there could be greater mixing and matching in the first few weeks of the season as Hughes tries to find the right group for his top four boats. The season starts with two home races, which includes next weekend's regatta against Navy (9 am). The four-weeks of Ivy League/Cup competitions begin April 13 with the Childs Cup, and each of the last two Eastern Sprints champions (Harvard and Brown) will pay visits to Lake Carnegie.
"Princeton is a program that strives for excellence each and every year," Mackasey said. "The results that we saw at the IRA were disappointing and definitely not where we want to be a couple months from now. Last year's results have motivated guys to train harder this year so as to not only compete with an incredibly competitive field, but to hopefully finish ahead."

Fla. high court upholds pension plan law
Published: Thursday, January 17, 2013 at 11:29 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 17, 2013 at 7:39 p.m.
TALLAHASSEE — The Florida Supreme Court has upheld a law requiring public employees to contribute 3 percent of their pay to the state's pension plan.
The 4-3 decision on Thursday reversed a trial judge's ruling that said the law violated the collective bargaining and contract rights of about 600,000 teachers, state and county employees and some city workers.
The ruling is vindication for Gov. Rick Scott and the Republican-controlled Legislature. It also avoided a nearly $2 billion budget gap for state and local governments that would have had to replace funds contributed by employees since the law went into effect in July 2011 if it had been struck down.
The Florida Education Association, which represents teachers, and other public employee unions challenged the law.

Spearfish, S.D. – The Tenth Annual Mark Larscheid Memorial Golf Tournament will take place on July 3 at the Spearfish Canyon Country Club in Spearfish, S.D.
Proceeds from this tournament will enhance the Mark Larscheid Scholarship Endowment. The scholarship awarded from the endowment goes to a track and field student-athlete at Black Hills State.
In August of 2000, the Larscheid family experienced a great tragedy when Mark Larscheid's life was cut short in an automobile accident in Spearfish Canyon. Born and raised in South Dakota, Mark and his wife, Mary, raised their children, Shane, Summer, and Slade. Larscheid was a loving husband and father, gifted teacher, dedicated coach and friend.
Larscheid was a talented athlete and set the South Dakota state high school track & field record when he ran the 110-meter hurdles in 14.1 seconds in 1969. In the fall of 2009, Larscheid was inducted posthumously into the Yellow Jacket Athletic Hall of Fame for his achievements in track and football. Also in 2009, Mary Larscheid-Christensen was inducted into the Yellow Jacket Athletic Hall of Fame for her contributions and support of Yellow Jacket Athletics.

More than 1,200 teens from across New York State rocked to songs DJ'd by "Holy Hot Boy" Ansel Augustine as they joined in a day of music, fun and inspiration during Catholic Youth Day, Saturday, May 10, at St. Joseph's Seminary in Yonkers.
Focused on this year's theme, "What's Your BEattitude," the event offered teens tips on how to take leadership roles centered around the Beatitudes, Jesus' Gospel teachings that begin "Blessed are…" and extol a list of values including mercy, peacemaking, and a hunger and a thirst for righteousness.
To put these words into action, the New York Office of Youth Ministry teamed up with Catholic Charities and the Archdiocesan Feeding Our Neighbor Campaign to collect $1,400 to stock food pantries for the hungry. Participants also donated 780 pounds of food that will be distributed by St. Peter's Parish food pantry in Yonkers where Catholic Charities offers serves a growing community of day laborers.
Gospel singers from the Church of St. Charles Borromeo in Harlem belted out gospel songs at a mass concelebrated by His Eminence Timothy Cardinal Dolan and Catholic Charities Executive Director Msgr. Kevin Sullivan.

ZF-3803: Zend_Cache_Frontend_Page shouldn't check if headers have been sent
I currently have an application that won't cache headers unless I remove the check for headers_sent().
headers_sent() should not be checked in Zend_Cache_Frontend_Page since headers have not been sent if output buffering is enabled. headers_list() provides the list of headers regardless if they have been sent or not, so it's safe to call headers_list() regardless.
may you provide a patch for this ?
I don't really understand why it's a critical bug ?
What options do you use for the frontend ?
It sounds to be a very specific problem...
It's a critical bug because when I tell the page cache to memorize headers (or just the content-type header for 1.5.3), it doesn't. The code below is from my bootstrap:
$myPageCache = new Zend_Cache_Frontend_Page(array(
'content_type_memorization' => true,
'default_options' => array(
'cache' => false,
'regexps' => array(
'^' . $myConfig->baseUrl . '/~(.*?)/(.*)$' => array(

With the current Zend_Cache_Frontend_Page from 1.5.3, 1.6RC2, or trunk, headers aren't cached. If I apply the patch that I've attached, headers are cached correctly.
ok, and you use output buffering (by yourself) + Zend_Cache_Frontend_Page (which use output buffering too)
and using both reach to this bug ? I'm right ?
Nope. I'm not starting any output buffering other than what's started by Zend_Cache_Frontend_Page.
ok, I just commited your fix into SVN trunk
can you confirm it's ok four you with the SVN trunk ?
if it's ok, I will fix this on the 1.6 branch too
Works like a charm now. Thank you.
fixed in 1.6 branch too (many thanks)

Okay, here's the deal:
My son has a deck that has the Larvitar-Pupitar-Tyranitar evolution. The thing is Tyranitar's GRIND attack doles out 20 damage for every energy card he has under it.
Is there ANY way to defend against all that damage?
He keeps beating me with the same strategy of just stacking energy under it.

Junior Philip Clark collected his sixth career game-winning RBI in the seventh inning.
March 3, 2012
GREENVILLE, N.C. - Philip Clark's sac fly in the seventh inning plated Jay Cannon for the go ahead run giving No. 30 East Carolina (7-2) a 2-1 win over Stony Brook (4-2) Saturday night at Lewis Field inside Clark-LeClair Stadium. With the win the Pirates claim the weekend series and will look for their second weekend sweep of the young season.
With the game tied at one, Cannon led off the frame with a double down the right field line and took third on Tim Younger's ground out to second. Clark stepped into the box and sent a first pitch offering from Brandon McNitt (1-1) to center scoring Cannon and giving the Pirates a 2-1 lead.
Tanner Merritt (1-1) notched his first collegiate win working 1 2/3 innings of scoreless relief after taking the ball from starter Tyler Joyner in the seventh inning. Joyner scattered seven hits in 6 1/3 frames allowing a run with two walks and a pair of punch outs. Sophomore Drew Reynolds recorded his fifth save of the season in a scoreless ninth.
McNitt tossed the second complete game of the weekend for the Seawolves in a losing effort. The right-hander held the Pirates to just four hits over eight innings where he surrendered two runs (one earned) with three walks and four strikeouts.
ECU took an early lead in the bottom of the first thanks to John Wooten's RBI single through the left side the plated Jack Reinheimer, who reached on an error to start the stanza off the glove of first baseman Kevin Courtney. Bryan Bass followed Reinheimer with a walk setting up the first of two Wooten base hits on the night. Wooten also tripled in the game in the eighth with two outs, but was left stranded when Zach Wright popped out to second to end the threat.
Stony Brook knotted the game at one in the third on Kevin Krause's single through the right side scoring Travis Jankowski from third after he doubled off Joyner to start the frame.
The Pirates and Seawolves will be back in action on Sunday, Mar. 4 at 1 p.m. (ET).

Reviews for Omelet Croissants
"Great change from the usual breakfast casserole or overnight French toast recipes when having weekend guests."
"Thank you Edna for sharing a great recipe! I will make it again as is - and make variations on the theme. Debbie - I like danzrule's comment that you should be on the Weight Watcher's site if you're going to be critical. Be aware that MODERATION is the key as well as "variety is the spice of life". Most recipes are ment to be adapted to a person's tastes and dietary requirements. This is neither unhealthy nor poor - nor is it something most of us would eat everyday!"
"My family really enjoyed this as an easy week night meal. I used frozen onions and green peppers, combined with the roasted red peppers. Just used salt/pepper for the omelet seasoning, with a little milk whisked in, and butter in the skillet. Used Miracle Whip instead of the salad dressing and fresh spinach instead of the arugula. Served with a side of fruit (we had fresh pineapple and mangos this evening). I like finding original hot sandwiches for an easy dinner idea. This allowed me to combine a dinner menu consisting of a hot sandwich concept combined with the 'breakfast for dinner' idea. It turned out great!"
"Made this this morning because I am off work today - a little too much work for a normal weekday - and it was delicious! Perfect for a weekend morning! And I agree with the majority - this is an excellent base to start from! You can make quite a few substitutions to suit your requirements. No one says you MUST follow the recipe to the letter - that's the joy of cooking! So Debbie and the rest of the food police should be quiet unless they have actually tried a recipe and found it lacking - not because in their opinion it is unhealthy. No is advocating that this be eaten every day either. Like I said this is a weekend treat!"
"this recipe sounds good, and I am a weight watcher member, Debbie don't rate it, make it healthier then decide. I agree you do sometimes have to eat outside your way of life eating (healthier)"

I have the lego remote control for controlling the robot ovr IR. It works fine but what I am wondering is there are all methods for when the buttons are pressed.
But is there some way to do something when the button is released?
For example I want the robot to move forwards WHILE I press up, so I need it to stop when I release the up button, much like a tv when you would put the volume up and down.
I'm curretnyl looking into it but I said I'd post while I am incase someone has the answer.

If getting pregnant has been a challenge for you and your partner, you're not alone. Ten to 15 percent of couples in the United States are infertile. Infertility is defined as not being able to get pregnant despite having frequent, unprotected sex for at least a year for most people and six months in certain circumstances.
Infertility may be due to a single cause in either you or your partner, or a combination of factors that may prevent a pregnancy from occurring or continuing. Fortunately, there are many safe and effective therapies for overcoming infertility. These treatments significantly improve the chances of becoming pregnant.
Most couples achieve pregnancy within the first six months of trying. Overall, after 12 months of frequent unprotected intercourse, about 90 percent of couples will become pregnant. The majority of couples will eventually conceive, with or without treatment.
The main sign of infertility is the inability for a couple to get pregnant. There may be no other obvious symptoms.
In some cases, an infertile woman may have irregular or absent menstrual periods. An infertile man may have signs of hormonal problems, such as changes in hair growth, sexual function, reduced sexual desire, or problems with ejaculation. He may also have small testicles or a swelling in the scrotum.
In general, you may consider seeing a doctor about infertility if you and your partner have been trying regularly to conceive for at least one year. You may consider being seen earlier if you're a woman and:
If you're a man, you may wish to be evaluated sooner if you have:
To become pregnant, the complex processes of ovulation and fertilization need to work just right. For some couples, infertility problems can be present from birth (congenital) or something can go wrong along the way that results in infertility.
The reasons for infertility can involve one or both partners. In general:
Causes of male infertility may include:
Causes of female infertility may include:
Other causes in women include:
Many of the risk factors for both male and female infertility are the same. They include:
Depending on your age and personal health history, your doctor may recommend a medical evaluation. A woman's gynecologist or a man's urologist or a family doctor can help determine whether there's a problem that requires a specialist or clinic that treats infertility problems. Both you and your partner will likely have a comprehensive infertility evaluation.
To get ready for your first appointment:
For infertility, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
Don't hesitate to ask your doctor to repeat information or to ask follow-up questions.
Be ready to answer questions to help your doctor quickly determine next steps in making a diagnosis and starting care.
Possible questions for the couple include:
If you're a man, you might be asked:
If you're a woman, you might be asked:
Before having infertility testing, be aware of the commitment that's required. Your doctor or clinic will need to determine what your sexual habits are and may make recommendations about changing them. Tests and treatment trial periods may extend over several months. In some infertile couples, no specific cause is found (unexplained infertility).
Evaluation can be expensive and in some cases involves uncomfortable procedures. Many medical plans may not reimburse the cost of fertility treatment. Finally, there's no guarantee — even after all the testing and counseling — that conception will occur.
For a man to be fertile, the testicles must produce enough healthy sperm, and the sperm must be ejaculated effectively into the woman's vagina and be able to travel to and fertilize the egg. Tests for male infertility attempt to determine whether any of these processes are impaired.
You may have a general physical exam. This includes an examination of your genitals. Specific fertility tests may include:
For a woman to be fertile, her ovaries must release healthy eggs. Her reproductive tract must allow an egg to pass into her fallopian tubes and allow the sperm to join the egg for fertilization. The fertilized egg must travel on to the uterus and implant in the lining. Tests for female infertility attempt to determine whether any of these processes are impaired.
You may have a general physical exam. This includes a regular gynecological exam. Specific fertility tests may include:
Depending on your situation, rarely your testing may include:
Not everyone needs to have all, or even many, of these tests before the cause of infertility is found. Which tests are used and their sequence depend on discussion and agreement between you and your doctor.
Treatment of infertility depends on the cause, how long you've been infertile, your age and your partner's age, and many personal preferences. Some causes of infertility can't be corrected. However, a woman may still become pregnant with assisted reproductive technology. Infertility treatment involves significant financial, physical, psychological and time commitment.
Approaches that involve the male include treatment for general sexual problems or lack of healthy sperm. Treatment may include:
Although a woman may need just one or two therapies to restore fertility, it's possible that several different types of treatment may be needed before she's able to conceive.
Assisted reproductive technology (ART) is any fertility treatment in which the egg and sperm are handled. An ART health team includes physicians, psychologists, embryologists, lab technicians, nurses and allied health professionals who work together to help infertile couples achieve pregnancy.
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is the most common ART technique. IVF involves stimulating and retrieving multiple mature eggs from a woman, fertilizing them with a man's sperm in a dish in a lab, and implanting the embryos in the uterus three to five days after fertilization.
Each year thousands of babies are born in the United States as a result of ART. The success rate of ART is lower after age 35.
Other techniques are sometimes used in an IVF cycle, such as:
Complications of female infertility treatment may include:
Complications of male infertility treatment are rare and may occur following surgery including infection, bruising, or lack of efficacy with the procedure.
Coping with infertility can be extremely difficult. It's an issue of the unknown — you can't predict how long it will last or what the outcome will be. The emotional burden on a couple is considerable. Taking these steps can help you cope:
Consider these strategies to help manage emotional stress during treatment:
Whatever the result of your fertility treatment, you'll face the possibility of psychological challenges. Seek professional help if the emotional impact of any outcomes becomes too heavy for you or your partner, such as:
Some types of infertility aren't preventable. But several strategies may increase your chances of pregnancy.
For couples, having regular intercourse several times around the time of ovulation offers the highest pregnancy rate. Intercourse occurring several days before and until a day after ovulation improves the probability of pregnancy. This is usually at the middle of the cycle halfway between menstrual periods for most women with menstrual cycles 28 days apart.
For men, although most types of infertility aren't preventable, these strategies may help:
For women, a number of strategies may increase the chances of becoming pregnant:
Mayo Clinic works with hundreds of insurance companies and is an in-network provider for millions of people. In most cases, Mayo Clinic doesn't require a physician referral. Some insurers require referrals or may have additional requirements for certain medical care. All appointments are prioritized on the basis of medical need.
At Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, a team of doctors trained in reproductive endocrinology and urology will treat you and your partner for infertility problems. These specialists will manage all aspects of your infertility.

See information on patient services at the three Mayo Clinic locations, including transportation options and lodging.
Doctors at Mayo Clinic take part in research to develop and refine infertility treatments. Current areas of research include assisted reproductive technology and gaining an understanding of how common gynecological disorders, such as uterine fibroids and endometriosis, affect fertility.
