Best Management Practices for Your Farm
This web site contains an on-line tool to be used by landowners to assess their operation and identify best management practices to be included in their individual plan. After identifying the best management practices, landowners/land users implement these practices on their land. Assistance to implement the plan can be obtained by contacting your local Conservation District Office or your local Cooperative Extension Service Office.

OK, we admit it. We goofed. Our wide-ranging survey on More.com attracted 1,202 wise, wondrous, wickedly witty women ages 60 through 95-plus who bared their souls—and gave us a piece of their minds. They sounded off about their careers, their kids, their mates, and graded their life's progress with candor, humor and grace. Then we asked them at what age they've been happiest.
"You should have let us pick more than one!" they blasted back. Of course. More is, after all, the bible of second acts. Life doesn't just go on; it can refresh in the most remarkable ways. Sure, aging ain't for sissies, as these women well know. But our over-60 sisters are here to tell us: You evolve. You adapt. And you become smarter about finding happiness right here, right now. So read, laugh and learn.
"Forget what they say about the teenage years. There is something about maturity that allows one the freedom to grow without fear or reprisal or criticism—and that is HUGE."
Life on the "A" List
We asked respondents to grade their success in four key life categories. Here's how many gave themselves an A in each:
Work: 44%
Religious/Spiritual Satisfaction: 38%
Current Marriage/Romantic Relationship: 37%
Parenting: 31%
We also learned that . . .
--Women who pursued activities outside their work and family were 12 percent more likely to give their romantic relationship a top score. They were 25 percent happier with their life over 60 and were 17 percent more satisfied with their entire life so far. Those with outside interests were also 25 percent more likely to say they have found their true path in life.
--Having children did not affect women's perceptions of how successful their life has been, both in general and specifically after 60. Moms and nonmoms gave themselves nearly identical grades.
--Being part of a couple did not significantly affect respondents' sense of how successful they had been at their life after 60. (Women in a relationship were only 5 percent more likely to give themselves an A.)
--Women who have worked primarily outside the home were 12 percent more likely to give themselves an A for their success at life after 60. (Not being retired pulled A grades down, but by just 6 percent.)
--87% of all respondents gave a top rating (A or B) to both their life over 60 and their entire life so far.
The Betty White Boost
A distinct spike in confidence occurred at the uppermost end of the respondents' age group, so we named the phenomenon for our favorite 90-year-old icon of cool. Quite simply, the older the women were, the more likely they were to give themselves high marks and the less likely they were to judge themselves harshly. Women age 80-plus were the most likely to award themselves an A for current relationship success: A full 50 percent did so (and unlike the younger respondents, none of them gave themselves an F). The 80-plus women were the most resolute in the belief that they had made the right choice about parenthood. And they gave themselves the most A's for work success, followed by women in their seventies (no woman in either group gave herself a D or an F). The older the respondent, the higher her grades for both life after 60 and entire life so far, and the likelier she was to say she'd found her true path in life.
Love is Lovelier the Second—or Third, or Fourth—Time Around
Nearly three quarters of the respondents were currently married or in a romantic relationship, and 66 percent gave themselves an A or B grade on the success of that union. Especially heartening was the sheer volume of women who said they'd found love at age 40-, 50- or 60-plus. "At 85, I am in love again, newly wed," one woman reported. Another, a cancer and domestic-abuse survivor, said, "My [new] husband loves me unconditionally. We are having world-class sex—because I am comfortable in my own skin, even with reconstructed breasts. People tell me I look 20 years younger—perhaps from the glow!"
One respondent found true love by switching teams: "After two marriages to men who were admirable but not my soul mates, I am currently married to a wonderful woman who complements me in every way." Another found her "new" love close to home. "I wouldn't give you a plug nickel for the first 10 years of our relationship," she wrote. "In fact, we divorced. But we had kids, and when we realized our problems were self-imposed, we got busy and worked it out. It wasn't easy, but it was worth it. We remarried and have a good thing going."
"Be prepared to have no idea what you're doing."
The Parent Hood: A Land Where Insecurity Reigns
It didn't matter how old the respondents were—no Betty bounce here. In fact, parenting is the only category in which any 80-plus woman gave herself an F, regardless of whether she'd worked inside or outside the home. Women are overwhelmingly reluctant to give themselves the top grade for child rearing. One stated bluntly, "Nobody deserves an A in parenting." Women who worked outside the home consider themselves about 16 percent less successful at child rearing than those who worked mainly inside.
Those who did give themselves the highest grade said they chose it because their kids are now happy, productive, caring adults. As one respondent put it, "If I'm grading on outcome, I give it an A, but if I was grading on how I thought I was doing at the time, it would be much lower." Others bemoaned the lack of an instruction manual: "I love my kids more than life itself. But as I have always told them, they were not born with a handbook. Mistakes are made. I learned they grow up in spite of us."
"Soar, baby, soar. But stop trying to have it all now. That is just a recipe for burnout, for divorce, for disenchantment."
Having it All is a Crock
You can't have it all—at least not all at the same time, respondents told us again and again. In fact, this was one of their most common refrains (along with "Pick a profession, not a job"). Our survey went up on More.com six months before Anne-Marie Slaughter's controversial and widely publicized Atlantic cover story on the elusiveness of work-life balance hit the stands, so clearly this was already very much on respondents' minds. But, they added, you can—and should—ask for what you need. Many had been pioneers of flextime, working from home, off- and on-ramping, etc. They were angry to see the perpetuation of what one woman called the "huge lie" that we can do everything at once, at full throttle, and urged their younger counterparts to explore options that would leave them less stressed and depleted.
"I shared my job with another young mother for 13 years," said one respondent, adding that it was the "absolute best working decision of my life. I worked half the week, she the other half. We shared the salary, benefits and responsibilities of a full-time job and moved from administrative positions to professional work (as instructional designers-developers) within the job-share arrangement." After being downsized, she ran her own business from home. "Both situations enabled me to spend time with my kids as they grew up and also provided a role model for them of alternative work styles."
"Trust your instincts as to what you want to do with your work life," said another respondent. "It's not written that you can't change jobs or even careers. As women, we're not only tough but adaptable to our circumstances and the challenges they present. As the 'noise' of a family quiets down, you may find that you can tap resources you were not even aware of. Be brave!"
"Balance" Begins at Home—So Enough with the Hovering!
"Although my generation tended to be stay-at-home moms, at least until the children were older, we were quite relaxed about our parenting," said one respondent. "Kids were not the epicenter of our emotional and intellectual lives. Overall, I think this is healthier for them. So I would urge young women to buck today's trend of helicopter parenting and make time for other relationships. A strong marriage is one of the best gifts you can give your children." Another advised, "Let the children see how much you enjoy all aspects of your own life both with and without them."
Nearly Half of the Nonmothers Were Childless by Choice
Three quarters of the nonmoms said they would do things the same way if they could go back in time. "Having children is a decision you cannot undo," one childless respondent warned. "Once you have them, your life is theirs." Another urged women not to give in to pressures to procreate: "Many people, including my own family members, told me that I would regret not having children. Nothing is further from the truth . . . Women need to hear that having children is not a prerequisite for a happy and fulfilled life."
They Wish They'd Had More Children
Ninety percent of mothers said if they could redo their lives, they'd again choose to become parents, and gladly. "I inhale my kids," said one. "I can't imagine life without them." The top thing women said they would change if it were possible: They'd have more children. The second most commonly cited do-over was, "Would have started later" (when they were more settled and/or mature), followed by, "Have the kids with a better partner."
"Kids are the only reason for anything. When they grow up and leave, cats are the only reason."
The Empy Nest is a Liberated Nest—and a Launching Pad
Yes, they love their kids and cherished their child-rearing time, teen terror years and all. But our respondents were not singing empty nest blues. Instead, we heard choruses of "I went to law school. I became a lawyer, then a professor"; "I returned to my path as a writer"; "My husband and I started traveling a lot more"; "I studied different religions, went to retreats, meditated, started doing yoga and delved deeper into myself"; "I earned my master's degree"; "I was able to go forward with what I knew I was destined to do"; "I have time for me now, and this is pretty cool."
66% consider themselves religious or spiritual . . . and that number increases with age.
60s . . . 65%
70s . . . 69%
80+ . . . 71%
The Fear(less) Factor
They may not have to worry as much about Medicare's solvency as their grandchildren perhaps will, but 63 percent admitted to having new fears after age 60. Concerns about appearance didn't even make the top 10 (OK, they came in 11th). More pressing are worries about (1) health, (2) money, (3) mortality, (4) losing their independence, (5) time running out. Still, as one woman observed, by this stage of life, "any fear I may have has proved to be far less likely to happen or far less likely to be really, really bad if it does happen."
"At age 20, I was young, beautiful and clueless."
81% said their happiest decade came after age 40. But they stressed that all life stages have their pleasures.
They Found Their True Path at Age 40-Plus
More than half of all respondents said they had found what they considered to be their true path in life, and more than half of those did so at 40 or later, when they began to trust their instincts and see their potential. "I finally had the maturity and the wisdom to recognize it," said a woman who'd found her path in her forties. Sometimes the trail was blazed by adversity ("Tragedy brought it to me") and sometimes by serenity ("I had time to listen to myself instead of everyone else"). Or, as with this woman, by clarity: "It was when I realized and accepted that my true path was exactly the life that I lived."
They Still Want to Accomplish
--"Less based on what I do and more based on what I am."
--"Wanting what I already have."
--"A sense of peace that I can rely on for years to come."
--"Nothing: There is a calmness that comes when you no longer have to accomplish or overcome anything."
--" 'Accomplishment' no longer defines me."
"I am today where I am supposed to be . . . at 20 I said that, but at 60 I believe it."

The Rock Hall Education Department teaches over 20,000 K-12 students every year through our Rockin' the Schools programming. These hour-long classes, which cover topics from the history of hip-hop to the science of sound, teach the rich history of rock and roll, while meeting and exceeding educational content standards in areas like social studies, science, mathematics, and the language arts. It's amazing to watch learning come alive for the students who visit us at the Museum.
A group of ten middle school students from Hawken School, led by teacher, Tim Desmond, worked in residence at the Rock Hall as part of an experimental Insights Course offered at the school. The students spent three full days at the Museum, attending Rockin' the Schools classes, exploring exhibits, and working together on self-directed research projects. Participants even got the chance to interview members of the Education Department on topics ranging from hip-hop to heavy metal. These interviews were later used in short documentaries developed and produced by the students themselves.
It was an honor to work with such thoughtful and engaged students and exciting to watch their progress over the three days of their stay. I was continually impressed by the quality of their work (as was rest of the Ed. Dept.). I think some of the students even surprised themselves. Their teacher had nothing but good things to say. "This was the most rewarding experience I've had as an educator because it allowed students to pursue a passion, work with a child from another grade level, and produce a documentary which incorporates many important study skills, such as teamwork, organization, time management, and persistence. And it rocked!"
Just last week, I was able to watch all five student documentaries. It was a treat to see each final product. Again, I was impressed by the work that went into each film. I even learned a few things. You can watch a "behind-the scenes" look at their interviews here.
Rock and roll can be a powerful force in the classroom. Imagine what can happen when that classroom is the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum.

- Date submitted: 1 Nov 2011

- Submission Document: Download
UNCSD Secretariat, Division for Sustainable
Development, UN-DESA.
Submission by
Association for Defense of Nature (PRODENA) Ecosophy Foundation (EF)
PRODENA and EF are Bolivian independent environmental organizations. PRODENA is the second oldest environmental organization in Bolivia, founded in 1979; it has been working for the nature for more than 3 decades. Prodena has been promoting environmental laws and policies, as well as sustainable development in Bolivia since
1990. We made proposals for the new Bolivian constitution, many of which were included in the text. Currently the focus of our work in Bolivia is demanding access to information, participation, justice, accountability, transparency, law enforcement and compliance on environmental issues. We are also working in climate change adaptation.
The Ecosophy Foundation is a new think tank that is working in the intersections between mind, culture and the environment. It deals with philosophical, religious and ethical
issues related to the environment, and it is trying to rescue and revitalize the environmental knowledge of indigenous peoples, particularly the ethno-ecological knowledge of Bolivian indigenous peoples.
a. What are the expectations for the outcome of Rio+20, and what are the concrete proposals in this regard, including views on a possible structure of the Outcome document?
The expectations couldn?t be greater since the planet cannot wait for another 10 years of constant deterioration, species extinction and disruptions of natural processes and cycles. We need a transformational change in the way we are managing the planet. Climate change is not the just the result of increasing greenhouse emissions but of the way we have been managing (rather mismanaging) the Earth, therefore we need a very bold approach to not let the earth systems collapse.
In this sense we have the following proposals:
1. Create a Global Environmental Organization that upgrades the UNEP and that hosts the Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEA), and other UN bodies that deal with environmental issues.
2. Approve an updated Rio Declaration or an Environmental Governance Charter that among others includes transparency, accountability, efficiency and the rights access to information, participation and justice.
3. Create Global Center of Environmental Information to collect all the environmental and climate information from the governments on a regular basses (currently this information is collected by the WB, UNEP, UNDP, among others) but is incomplete and not always updated by the governments. It should be a duty of the states to provide updated information.
The other purpose of this Center will be to connect diverse environmental data basses, and to deliver information to the public for free.
5. To establish an International Court for the Environment, where all the citizens have access.
6. A Declaration of Environmental Rights and Duties
7. The creation of a Global Ombudsman for the Environment.
Whenever violations of environmental rights and environmental destruction occurs out in developing countries, we don?t have any instance to complain, therefore we need to have the possibility to be heard at the global level.
Possible structure of the Outcome document
1. Current state of the environment (includes climate change).
2. The consequences and prospects of environmental destruction and climate change for future societies and for the world's peace,
3. Institutional architecture and governance framework for more effective enforcement and compliance of environmental laws and regulations.
4. Sectoral issues: oceans, biodiversity, climate change, energy, population, etc.
5. Funding
b. What are the comments, if any, on existing proposals: e.g., a green economy roadmap, framework for action, sustainable development goals, a revitalized global partnership for sustainable development, or others?
Green economy maybe a great new paradigm to overcome environmental ills, however it is not understood nor digested in developing countries, which are suspicious of the ideas behind green economy. Many of them tend to see green economy as a Trojan horse to introduce market barriers, and impose conditionalities in developing countries. In
addition many don?t agree with the payment for environmental services. Therefore, if the discussions for Rio+20 are focused on the green economy a lot of time is going to be consumed without concrete outcomes, and no much progress is going to be achieved towards the improvement of global environmental governance. We believe that first
developed countries should show the viability of green economy, and then try to spread to the world.
Regarding the "revitalized global partnership for sustainable development" we should bear in mind that most of the Partnerships emerged of the Johannesburg Summit were not very successful, therefore it may remain in another good declaration.
Regarding IFSD, the CSD has failed in advancing SD goals. Therefore the UNEP should be upgraded in a Global Environmental Organization (GEO), because we need a powerful organization that can lead the process of transformational change. The GEO should also include the many UN bodies and Conventions (more that 700) that deal in a separate, disperse and non-effective manner with environmental issues.
The core issue should be providing world?s citizens enough tools to change the state of affairs. Despite that in developing countries the legal environmental framework has improved, the laws are often broken even by the governments when economic interests are involved, thus the environmental impacts and constraints are disregarded. According to our experience governments don?t care for the environment if don?t have enough social pressure.
c. What are the views on implementation and on how to close the implementation gap, which relevant actors are envisaged as being involved (Governments, specific Major Groups, UN system, IFIs, etc.);
The implementation of the Rio outcomes has been very week and as a result environmental conditions have been deeply deteriorated as can be seen with global green house emissions. Therefore it is necessary to reinforce the participation of civil society organizations because the governments always tend to stand for economic gains in detriment to the environment. As a result we have seen the rising of environmental conflicts worldwide, and that the most vulnerable and poor people are the more affected.
We should move from Principles to Rights, and the Principles should become Rights to be enforceable. For instance, some of the principles of the Rio Declaration should become Rights.
d. What specific cooperation mechanisms, partnership arrangements or other implementation tools are envisaged and what is the relevant time frame for the proposed decisions to be reached and actions to be implemented?
In our view, the most important implementation tools are: a Global Environmental Organization for the improvement of environmental governance, an International Environmental Court for the implementation and enforcement of environmental agreements, a Center for Environmental Information and an Ombudsman for the Environment.
2. Specific Elements:
a. Objective of the Conference: To secure renewed political commitment for sustainable development, assessing the progress to date and remaining gaps in the implementation of the outcomes of the major summits on sustainable development and addressing new and Emerging challenges.
Contributions could include possible sectoral priorities (e.g., (e.g., energy, food security and sustainable agriculture, technology transfer, water, oceans, sustainable urbanization, sustainable consumption and production, natural disaster preparedness and climate change adaptation, biodiversity, etc.) and sectoral initiatives that contribute to integrate the three pillars of sustainable development could be launched and endorsed at Rio+20.
To secure renewed political commitment we need a powerful environmental organization, otherwise not changes in the ground are going to be made. We don?t need more programs of action that not implemented, but rather tools for citizens to defend nature and their right to a clean environment.
On regard to climate change we cannot deal with greenhouse gasses in a separate manner since the carbon cycle works in interaction with other cycles and processes, the wiser is to not intervene the last remaining natural areas of the world. Mitigation should be included in all the natural resources management plans.
We need to realize that in a warming world it is going to be more difficult to satisfy the needs of the present and future generations, therefore what we need now is a resilient development that helps people in the developing world to overcome or not being much affected by the impacts of climate change. In the incoming years we should work resiliency as the most important tool to overcome climate change impacts
b. Green economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication: views regarding how green economy can be a means to achieve sustainable development in its three dimensions, and poverty eradication; what is its potential added value; experience to date, including what has worked and how to build upon success, what are the challenges and opportunities and how to address the challenges and seize opportunities, and possible elements of an agreement in outcome document on a green economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication.
Poverty eradication is a delusion in a warming world because many people in developing countries are becoming poorer due to the losses of extreme weather events. Hunger and poverty are increasing in many developing countries, and developed countries are less rich. Therefore there are fewer resources to support poor countries.
That is why we believe that the most important is to assure that people have enough tools to defend their rights, to not let the governments implement plans and projects that are harmful for the environment and people. Governments tend to respond to economic interests, but if people have more power of influence in decisions, things may change.
c. Institutional framework for sustainable development: Priorities and proposals for strengthening individual pillars of sustainable development, as well as those for strengthening integration of the three pillars, at multiple levels ? local, national, regional and international.
It should be recognized that the environment is not a pillar, but the support base of our societies and economies, and therefore should be priorized over the other pillars.
d. Any proposals for refinement of the two themes. Recall that Resolution
64/236 describes the focus of the Conference: ?The focus of the Conference will include the following themes to be discussed and refined during the preparatory process: a green economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication and the institutional framework for sustainable development?.
We believe that the conference should focus on institutions, rights and rules for the improvement of environmental governance to deal with the deteriorating state of the planet and global warming that already compromised the satisfaction of the needs of future generations.

Here are solutions to some common problems with playing FM radio in Windows Media Center.
An optional FM tuner is required to play FM band radio stations in Windows Media Center.
FM radio may not play for one of the following reasons:
Your computer is tuned to a frequency that is not available or has a weak signal.
On the start screen, scroll to Music, click radio, and then click FM Radio.
The cable connections for FM radio are not connected properly to the tuner hardware or the antenna is not positioned optimally. Make sure that the cable or radio antenna is attached to the FM radio connector on the tuner and properly positioned for the best signal reception. If you have two tuners that support FM radio, be sure each tuner is connected to its own FM radio signal source. Windows Media Center uses available tuners as needed and, if you have an FM radio antenna connected to only one tuner, you cannot get radio when that tuner is already in use for TV. Refer to your hardware documentation for the preferred hardware arrangement.
Your computer may not have a tuner installed that supports FM radio or it may not have a tuner installed at all. For more information about what is included in your computer configuration, refer to the documentation that came with the computer or contact your hardware manufacturer.
Your computer has a tuner installed, but it has not been configured for use with Windows Media Center. To configure it for use with Windows Media Center, do the following:
On the start screen, scroll to Tasks, click settings, click General, click Windows Media Center Setup, and then click Set Up TV Signal.
Follow the steps on the screen to configure your tuner. The radio option should appear after you have configured your tuner.
Your computer may be having trouble with the tuner hardware. Make sure that a current driver is installed for the tuner hardware and that the FM tuner is enabled. For more information about drivers, see Update drivers.
If FM radio still does not play, contact your computer manufacturer for further assistance.
Windows Media Center cannot find, or seek, a radio frequency that has a weak signal. If you manually enter the frequency or tune directly to a station with a weak signal, Windows Media Center plays the station. However, if you use Seek mode, Windows Media Center might bypass a weak signal.
For the best results, make sure that the cable or radio antenna is attached to the computer and properly positioned for the best signal reception. Refer to your hardware documentation for the preferred hardware arrangement. If the FM radio signal is still weak, contact your computer manufacturer for more information.
Your computer might be having trouble with the tuner hardware. Make sure that the tuner hardware is enabled and that the correct driver is installed. To quickly determine whether your tuner hardware is working, make sure that you can watch TV. To troubleshoot, refer to your hardware documentation.
Tuner hardware that may be included in your computer can have an FM radio input as well as an input for TV signal. In some cases, that type of tuner hardware cannot receive FM radio at the same time as it receives a TV signal. For example, if the tuner is in use for FM radio when Windows Media Center is scheduled to start a recording, a warning appears that the FM radio session will be stopped when the TV recording starts. If you do not make a selection, Windows Media Center automatically stops FM radio and begins recording TV, as scheduled.
If you have any Windows Media Center Extender devices connected to your computer, someone may have tuned to a TV show or FM radio program on the Media Center Extender and has control of the tuner hardware you were using.
Windows Media Center does not support fast forward or rewind when playing FM radio. Instead, you can select the SKIP button or REPLAY button on the remote control to skip forward 29 seconds or skip back 7 seconds.
If you want to control Windows Media Center with a remote control, an optional Windows Media Center remote control is required.
If you have recently installed tuner hardware for FM radio or connected a tuner that supports FM radio, Windows Media Center might not have detected the added tuner yet.
You must configure the tuner for use with Windows Media Center before FM radio will display by doing the following:
Proceed through set up to configure your tuner. The radio option should appear after you have configured your tuner.
Internet radio presets and stations appears in Radio only if one or more Internet radio partner applications have been installed on your computer. If you cannot find Internet radio in Radio, try downloading the partner application again.
Check for Internet radio partner applications that you can install and use in Windows Media Center. (On the start screen, scroll to Online Media, and then click program library. Click Music & Radio, and then click More Music + Radio to see a list of Internet radio partners that are available.)

Ready to save a bundle on your next trip by swapping homes? The sites below all offer mediation for post-trade disputes, but these are rare, especially if you nail down the terms in advance and in writing: Can you use their car? Will there be household help (and who pays for it)? Do both swappers have adequate home (and, if applicable, car) insurance? Any restrictions on smoking, pets, etc.? Any chores you'd like them to do, or vice versa?
Offering 40,000 homes in 149 countries, HomeExchange.com lets you search for amenities such as a security system, a tennis court, Internet access, etc. Members arrange swaps directly with each other. $119 a year to list one home; $60 to add another property. (Or join for three months: $48 for one listing, $25 for each additional home.)
There are some 14,000 properties in 80 countries listed on homelink.org/usa. Members swap directly with each other. $119 a year for a single listing, $25 for each additional property.
Ivhe.com lists 498 homes in 55 countries; when you find a property you want to visit, a staffer will check availability and send both parties an exchange agreement. Homes are assigned a credit value based on what it would cost per week to rent them. You earn credits when someone stays in your place, then spend them when you travel (a direct-swap option is also being added). $159 a year, plus an exchange fee of 7 percent of the credit value of the property you are visiting (minimum charge: $69).

So here we go.....
First off, there's vicious rumors of ST shows coming up quickly...including a show in Los Angeles. What can you tell us about these, when, where, what's the deal?
MMST: Yes, we are confirmed to play a few shows. We had hoped to confirm them all together, but we were asked by the promoter to hold off. It's not a problem with the show, but politics of who's sponsoring it and how the promotion works, etc.
I can say, yes we will be playing in L.A. and it will be around October time and it should be quite the event. We also plan on filming this show and releasing it as a Dvd.
Will this be the first show?
MMST: No, we actually will be playing a festival in Colombia Oct. 15th for a festival called Rock Al Parque. It's a free three day festival put on by the government.
Alfonso from Fernandes guitars and Esteban are both native Colombians and have been to this festival many times and have great things to say about it. There will be between 80,000 to over 100,000 people there and ST has the honor of headlining one of the days. This should be a great way to jump back into the action.
What happens after the L.A. show?
MMST: We hope to have Paul Northfield come out to record the L.A. show and then stay and finish up the new ST cd. Then at the end of November we got two festival dates in Brasil. That's the plan for now.
Any other shows after that?
MMST: We have quite a few shows that we would like to make up, that we were planning before the back surgery. Right now we and of course I plan on being smart with how we go about doing things so that we'll always be able to be a part of what we like, and be healthy and happy to boot, lol.
But at this time, these are the only shows planned for this year.
So what's up for next year?
MMST: Basically there are a lot of places we still have never been to, places we love to go to, and places we haven't been to in a long time and need to get back to. A lot of this of course revolves around a new cd and a new cd revolves around the ability to tour. So without rambling any further, If all goes well, we plan to have a new cd and be back touring the U.S. and the World next year.
So the back's good?
MMST:The back is really good. I've had to make some changes, and figure out different ways to work out,etc., but it's finally great day to day. The challenge is of course shows and touring. There's no exercises for the way I tour.
People that haven't seen me for a bit and I tell them I had back surgery can't believe it. That's good, but after going thru all that with the surgery, etc, I don't wanna do that again. And if I would have just stopped like I was told to on that tour, I wouldn't have had to have surgery...but you're in a position where you're headlining a tour and you don't wanna let the people behind the tour down or the people going to the shows. The irony is, if we cancelled there would be the stupid people that started rumors saying nothing was wrong, the " I heard they quit cause..."bla bla bla," you know the people, you know the story...
Anyhow, what was is, and we learn and move on and take the knowledge and use it properly, control what we can, prepare for what we can't...and enjoy the ride while it lasts, till we move on to the next adventure, ha ha.
So how's everyone else?
MMST:I think they're all pretty excited, but we've all learned from this situation. I think when we start practicing for the shows and working back in the STudio again, it'll sink in a bit more...but, yes everyone sounds ready and excited yet they've all been very understanding which I totally appreciate.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Noodles Tasty! Love these! Easy, delicious. The flavorings are great as-is or the soup can be 'dressed up' by adding other vegetables, meats, tofu. Also important to me is the low sodium content compared to most other Asian-style quick noodle soups. May 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Desi So tasty This is just what I wanted. I had this craving for noodle soup for about a week ever since I saw something on the Discovery channel about a city in Japan and their noodles.. This soup was amazing. it has hints of the onion, ginger, lemon just awesome to enjoy on my lunch break. definitely worth the 1.99 I paid. February 8, 2013

Rated 5 out of 5 by btru Great! I was sick and wanted a bowl that I could pour my entire soup can in and this was perfect. Not to mention the spoon is big enough to get a nice bite too! I am so glad I found this, would like to order more but can't. December 31, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jen, mom of 3 Fun Soup Bowls My kids love eating soup with these bowls. I bought two sets of three, so there is enough for our whole family. The bowls are very large and hold lots of soup. The bold "SOUP" letters are fun. But, I think what we love best are the little handles and soup spoon that come with these bowls. We will be enjoying lots of soups and stews this winter, thanks to these fun bowls.! November 9, 2010
Rated 4 out of 5 by classy bargain hunter Cute However, I didn't buy the set of 3 soup bowls, but I did buy the soup bowl that said "ramen" on it. It came with a small soup spoon and chop sticks. I like the bold, bright wording on the bowl against the black background. I bought this for my nephew as part of a high school graduation present. I bought him the soup bowl that says ramen as he will be living on his own and working and going to college for the first time. Who hasn't ate ramen on a budget? :) May 14, 2012

The La Junta Industrial Park is storing pipes for Front Range Pipeline, and the view is getting impressive from Full Circle. One of the City Council members asked, Tuesday night, why the pipes weren't shipped in by rail.
Actually they were shipped by rail as far as Limon. But because they were bought east of the Mississippi, that is as far as they could go. So, they come to La Junta by truck. They are unloaded by the large crane seen in the picture. It is definitely a hard hat zone while the unloading is taking place, so do not go close.
Bids for actual laying of the pipe will be sent out to large companies that can handle the scope of the work during the third week of March. The bid will go to the best, which is not necessarily the lowest, said Randy Duncan, heading Front Range Pipeline, section two, making its headquarters in La Junta. Construction is scheduled to start April 1, but all things are subject to change. Duncan says the key to success in planning a pipeline is how quickly you can change your mind and make things happen the way you want them.

Royal called the entire situation with long lines and extra stress, especially on the elderly, "outrageous" and blasted legislators for failing to remedy the occupational tax issue which is partially to blame.
Royal said he was standing behind a man last week who appeared to be in his late 60s or early 70s who dropped to the ground.
Royal said he got in line at 9 a.m. and didn't leave the courthouse until 1 p.m.
"He had been in line just as long as I had," Royal said of the man.
Royal called 911. They came and treated the man, and then took him to the front so he could take care of the business that brought him there in the first place.

Bar Stools
There's something special about bellying up to the bar to socialize or have a meal perched a little higher atop a bar stool. Whether you are looking for a seat at the bar, kitchen counter or a counter height high dining table for your home or restaurant, we can help you arrive at the right barstool for your needs. But first, learn more about what to look for in the Crate and Barrel collection of backless, adjustable and swivel bar stools for your counter, kitchen island, bar or outdoor patio. Once you know what you need, you'll be sitting pretty.
Seat Height: What Height Bar Stool Do You Need?
The first thing you need to determine is what height bar stool you need for the surface it will be pulled up to. Measure the distance from floor to top of surface where seating will be used. Counter height bar stools, also called 24-inch barstools from floor to top of seat, are perfect for kitchen counters, counter height tables and kitchen islands that are about 36 inches high. Tall bar stools—or 30-inch barstools from floor to top of seat—are sized for higher tables and bars around 42 inches high.
Seat Type: Fixed, Swivel or Adjustable
Next, depending on where the bar stool will be used, determine if the seat should be fixed, adjustable or swivel. Fixed seats work when primarily used facing forward into the kitchen island, counter, counter height table or bar. A swivel seat allows you to easily turn toward other activity in the room, such as the dining table, big screen TV in the family room, or pool table action in the game room, without moving the stool itself. Adjustable seats go a step further, taking you from dining table up to counter, or kitchen counter breakfast bar up to high bar height for even more versatile seating possibilities.
With Back or Backless
Bar stools with backs provide more security and support, while backless stools take up less space and stow handily under the counter, high table or bar. Backless stools can be mounted from many directions. Some swivel, are adjustable, or both. When you need back support with a low profile or smaller vertical footprint, a low back is a great choice. Stools with arms take comfort to the next level by providing a place to rest your arms.
Material and Color
Sturdy metal bar stools are easy to maintain and can work in a host of modern, industrial, vintage or rustic style settings. Contrast them with wood for a collected look. Wooden bar stools add contemporary warmth and contrast to stone or metal finishes. Upholstered and leather bar stools add both sophistication and comfort. Optional cushions add comfort to unupholstered seats when and where you need it most. Outdoor barstools are built to withstand the elements. White styles add brightness and light, while classic black or even green, purple and red bar stools make a pop-of-color statement.
Add a Crate and Barrel bar stool to your dining furniture collection to suit your style—modern or industrial, contemporary or rustic. Shop our wide selection in a range of styles, materials and colors, and show us how they worked out by posting your photo using the hashtag #CrateStyle.

After more than a year of planning, the debut of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremonies took place in the Waldorf-Astoria's Grand Ballroom in New York City on January 23, 1986. Early on, plans were in the works to construct a museum, whose location was under discussion, with possibilities including Cleveland, Memphis, Philadelphia, Chicago, and New Orleans.
Represented were the major strains of music that emerged to form rock & roll: rockabilly, R&B, blues, country and gospel. Those doing the inducting came from both behind the scenes, such as influential DJs Norm N. Nite and Scott Muni (for Alan Freed), and the spotlight, including Billy Joel (for Fats Domino) and Steve Winwood (for James Brown).
Legendary promoter Bill Graham orchestrated the off-the-cuff performances, shouting direction and coercing reluctant artists onstage. Fogerty belted out "Proud Mary," the first time he'd performed the Creedence Clearwater Revival song in public since 1972.
Another music standard-bearer providing backup was Paul Shaffer with the World's Most Dangerous Band (from Late Night with David Letterman), which included saxophonist David Sanborn, guitarist Sid McGinnis, bassist Will Lee, and drummer Steve Jordan.
Inductions got underway with a festive Keith Richards ripping off his tux jacket and exposing a flashy leopard-print jacket underneath, appropriate for inducting Chuck Berry: "It's very difficult for me to talk about Chuck Berry 'cause I've lifted every lick he ever played -- this is the gentleman who started it all!"

Roelli Cheese Haus
Dunbarton BlueFourth generation cheesemaker Chris Roelli committed the equivalent of blue cheese heresy by piercing his cheese and then pressing it to inhibit the mold growth. The result is Dunbarton Blue, a sort of blue-veined cheddar that's potent yet approachable. In a typical blue, the pierce holes introduce air that allows the desirable mold to proliferate within the cheese. By pressing it, Chris halts the process, developing a distinct but subtle bluing that hints at piquancy without punching you in the face. A unique and fantastic cheese from a true American cheesemaking family. Read More

|Two Vandal women honored
EUGENE, Ore. - After going 2-1at the Oregon Tournament, two Idaho women's basketball players earned all-tournament team honors. Vandal seniors Yinka Olorunnife and Derisa Taleni were among the five players to earn the honor.
Olorunnife had her fourth double-double of the season with a 17-point, 14-rebound performance in a win against Sacramento State, and averaged 12.3 points and 8.3 rebounds per game, while adding 1.3 assists and 1.3 blocks. All four of Olorunnife's blocks came in Idaho's 69-59 win over Cal. State Bakersfield on Sunday.
Taleni scored 11 points and had eight rebounds against CSU Bakersfield, and connected on 7-of-8 free throws in the game. She had seven points, six assists and four rebounds as Idaho beat Sacramento State on Nov. 27. For the tournament, Taleni averaged 8.7 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game, while hitting 2-of-4 3-pointers and draining 8-of-10 free throws.
The Vandals improved to 5-1 on the season after wins over Sacramento State and Cal. State Bakersfield, and a loss to Oregon.

Mathematics Major
Effective Winter 2014
May be elected as a departmental major
Prerequisites to the Major
Most programs require completion of one of the sequences ending with MATH 215-217, 256-217, 285-217, or 395-396. A working knowledge of a high-level computer language such as C++ or a computer algebra system (such as Maple or Mathematica), at a level equivalent to completion of a course of three or more credits, and eight credits of PHYSICS, preferably PHYSICS 140/141 and 240/241, are recommended for all programs and required for some. (A grade of C- or better is strongly suggested for MATH 217.)
Major GPA Calculation
For purposes of calculating grade point average, the term "field of the major" means the following:
- All MATH courses.
- All courses used to meet requirements for the major.
- All required cognate courses (if any).
- All mandatory prerequisites.
- ECON 101 and ECON 102 (actuarial mathematics submajor only).
Requirements for the Major
A student considering a major in Mathematics should consult a mathematics department advisor in the Undergraduate Mathematics Office as early as possible and certainly by the first term of the sophomore year. The department offers many different submajors with varying requirements; failure to meet some of these at the intended time may delay completion of the program and graduation. A plan for the major must be designed with and approved by a department advisor.

The second-floor courtroom in Fort Worth's Depression-era Eldon B. Mahon U.S. Courthouse made a suitable backdrop for the high-dollar auction sale of the Texas Rangers.
Marble floors, rich oak paneling, and Art Deco-detailing gave the place a sumptuous feel. And the 21-foot ceiling was just tall enough to contain the egos of all the pricy lawyers in attendance, not to mention the men who were prepared to write the half-a-billion-dollar-or-more check it would take to buy the MLB team.
Mark Cuban, owner of the NBA's Dallas Mavericks, swapped greetings with reporters as he and Houston businessman Jim Crane, his bidding partner, took their seats at one of the courtroom tables. "Going over some last-minute figures?" one reporter asked Cuban, who was a bit tardy. Cuban shot a look as if the guy were crazy, waving off the idea that he might be worried about something so trifling.
The August 4, 2010, auction turned out to be a grinding affair, punctuated by long pauses in the bidding. As a reporter covering the story for a national business news outlet, I used the intermissions to pad around and try to get some of the key players to comment on behind-the-scenes developments.
During one break, I approached a man who had stayed completely in the background, but who nonetheless was a central participant in the Rangers sale saga. Dressed nattily in a blue-gray pinstripe suit, white shirt, and violet tie, Ray C. Davis stood several inches taller than the Rangers' six-feet-two-inch Nolan Ryan, with whom he had arrived.
I introduced myself to the rangy Davis, who retired as a billionaire from Dallas-based Energy Transfer Partners, a publicly traded pipeline company where he'd served as co-CEO. He gave my hand a firm grip, said hello in a deep voice and then, before I could get my first question out, nodded and walked away.
The non-interview was not only disappointing from a professional standpoint; it was so brief I hadn't formed the slightest impression of Davis. Was he shy, or someone who loathes the media, or nothing of either?
My interest in Davis hardly abated when, 10 hours after the auction began, the group led by Ryan and attorney Chuck Greenberg won the American League club with a bid worth $593 million. Davis and another billionaire, Bob Simpson, co-founder and former CEO of XTO Energy Inc., reportedly provided the bulk of the purchase price and, once the sale closed, became co-chairmen of the team's board of directors.
News reports over the next few hours, including mine, ran with quotes from Cuban and Ryan and a memorable one from Greenberg, who conceded that while the auction price was "a little expensive … it's all part of the color and pageantry of the affair."
Nowhere, though, was there a quote from Davis, who'd picked up a big part of the sale tab and then slipped out of the courthouse without a word.
Owners of professional sports teams in most cities, but especially in Dallas, play a unique role in the fans' views of their beloved teams. Here, Cuban and Jerry Jones of the Dallas Cowboy get endlessly analyzed. For every "Top Ten Shortstops of All Time" list, there are five titled "Ten Worst Owners of All Time." Fans need someone to blame when teams sink in the standings, and ownership is a favorite place to start.
So, it's fair to ask, who is this billionaire pipeline businessman and co-owner of the Texas Rangers? And, why does he maintain such a low profile?
Active Investor
In the two years since the auction sale, the 70-year-old Davis has rarely broken his silence, though it's clear that he is far from a passive investor in the club. Refusing all interview requests, including three I've made myself over that span, Davis has positioned himself as the anti-Mark Cuban. He's not only invisible in terms of the team, but he declines to say much about his business dealings either. He is, simply put, the last investor on the planet you're going to see showing off his business savvy on TV's Shark Tank—where Cuban stars—or
anywhere else.
What we do know, though, is that Davis is still active at his investment company, Avatar Investments LP, which has offices on Sherry Lane in Dallas. So it was with great interest that I learned that he was to speak this spring to the Dallas-Fort Worth chapters of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners at the group's annual conference.
It was like hearing someone had spotted a woodpecker that was thought to have gone extinct.
The fraud examiners group, which was good enough to let me attend the private presentation, said Davis would be talking about "his experience on avoiding and finding investment swindles." That sounded promising, I thought as I drove to the meeting at Dallas's Cityplace Conference and Event Center.
But first, it turned out, Davis wanted to talk about baseball. "Anybody who feels tired after a nice lunch can go to sleep. That's just fine," the businessman deadpanned, warming up as the luncheon speaker at the late-May event. He was dressed in standard business attire: tie, gray suit, white shirt. "My wife said she falls asleep after 15 minutes of me talking. Here's a little about the business of baseball . . ."
Baseball is like a lot of other businesses, Davis told the group. "We're no better than the players on the field, and no better than the scouting and development and people in the office.
"There are no shortcuts in this business," he said. "People have tried to buy championships before without success. You win with people, you build from within, and you try to keep as much payroll flexibility as you possibly can."
Then, referring to issues facing the team in the current season, he declared, "This year is going to be extremely difficult. . . . We have some real challenges coming up, trying to make the decisions we're going to have to make on all our free agents, seeing who we can sign, and what young players we have coming up who can fill the need."
Once Davis had finished his talk—later, he would also address non-Rangers business issues—I intercepted the normally reticent billionaire on his way off the stage, only to have my request for an interview rebuffed again. "I don't do interviews," he said tersely.
Persevering, I said it appeared that he had quite a lot to do with the team.
"It's a business. It's not an ego thing. It's a business," Davis allowed. He agreed with Bob Simpson's view, given at a news conference last year, that Ryan and General Manager Jon Daniels were running the team day-to-day, and that the co-chairmen were acting more as "wise counselors" with experience to offer.
Only twice has Davis been seen in the public eye on Rangers business. He accompanied then-team CEO Chuck Greenberg to Little Rock, Ark., on a trip to woo free agent Cliff Lee in late 2010—a trip that failed to land the pitching ace. Four months later he appeared with Ryan and Simpson at a news conference announcing that Greenberg had resigned—a move widely reported as an ouster.Davis, who shed no light at the news conference on the reasons for Greenberg's leaving, told the assembled sportswriters, "Neither Bob [Simpson] or I expect ever to do another press conference."
So far, he's lived up to his pledge.
A Lifesaver
"That's just Ray," Charlie Waters, the former Dallas Cowboys star safety, said when I asked him to explain Davis' low profile.
Waters, who was hired at Energy Transfer Partners in 1996 by Davis and the company's current chairman, Kelcy Warren, said, "He put some fire back into me, he and Kelcy, when they gave me that job. They saved my life." Waters had been despondent over the death of his teenage son, he explained.
Waters joined Energy Transfer when it employed about a dozen people; today there are more than 5,000 employees. He said that Davis is extremely sharp with details, while Warren is more of a gambler. "Ray will make the tough decision if that's right for the business long-term," Waters said. "He has a sensitive side to him, but in business he can tune that out in a second."
The company's first emphasis was electricity trading in newly deregulated markets, Waters said. Davis and Warren had sold Cornerstone Natural Gas Inc., consisting of about 700 miles of pipelines and processing facilities in East Texas and Louisiana, to El Paso Energy Corp. for $115 million in 1996. A non-compete clause kept them out of the pipeline business for a time. But by the early 2000s they were back expanding in a world they knew well.
In August 2002, industry publication Gas Daily reported that "Davis and Warren are well on their way to repeating the formula they used in the 1990s to build a regional midstream powerhouse." The next year the company announced it was building its own large pipeline to handle natural gas from Texas' burgeoning Bossier Sand and Barnett Shale fields, according to Natural Gas Week.
Bruce Bullock, director at the Maguire Energy Institute at SMU's Cox School of Business, said that pipelines are one of the few industries permitted by the federal tax code to be organized into master limited partnerships like Energy Transfer Partners. MLPs, he said, avoid corporate taxation and distribute profits directly to their so-called unit holders.
The steady income pipelines generate, combined with investor demand in a low-yield era, have made MLPs very attractive investments. Energy Transfer units have returned more than 19 percent per year to their investors over the last decade, according to Morningstar data.
In 2007, when Davis announced he was retiring from the company at age 65, Energy Transfer had a whopping enterprise value of $20 billion. Within a year and a half, Davis made his first appearance on the Forbes 400 list of the richest Americans, debuting at No. 367 with an even $1 billion. Forbes appears to have had no more luck than any other news outlet in charming Davis with their attentions. His name appeared for several years without a photo and, on this year's list—where he's ranked No. 312, with $1.5 billion—the publication describes him as "reclusive."
Davis said he's still busy at the company as a director. But much of his time is spent with Avatar, his personal investment company. "We were Avatar before there was Avatar," he said, referring to the movie during my brief encounter. Among the companies he discussed acquiring were "a metal roofing company in California" and "a pipeline company in Ohio."
During his talk to the fraud conference, Davis did nothing to fulfill the promise that he'd discuss the swindles or near-swindles he's experienced. He plays his cards too close to the vest for that. He did, however, pass along in general how he goes about his due diligence as a frequent purchaser of companies and assets.
"I think it's great that we have Sarbanes-Oxley and all the other controls we put on companies," he told the May gathering. "But I would suggest to you [that] all the controls in the world are not going to prevent fraud in the short term. In the long term they're all going to get caught, but in the short term you have to go back to the integrity of the people who are putting the numbers together."
In studying companies, Davis went on, acquirers "don't spend enough time in my view on the people, two levels of management."
Of course it's important to analyze the numbers, he said. "But, how much time do you spend on the people you are about turn the keys over to? I'm not saying you should challenge their integrity. It's more like Ronald Reagan said: `Trust and verify.' Verify their résumés and their academic records, what their competitors say about their management and their reputation, credit checks, criminal background, litigation. The point is, who are the difference-makers who set the policies in this company and who dictate its culture?"
Smiling, Davis added, "I have been burned more than once, and my checklist is many pages. I don't share it because I want my competitors to get burned and not me."
After he finished speaking, Davis joined Waters in handing out several scholarships for college students on behalf of Community Trust Bank. Waters is on the board of Louisiana-based Community Trust, a private bank in which Davis is a stockholder and which does a lot of business with Davis and the Rangers. The scholarships were given in honor of "Happy Davis," whom Waters described to the group as Davis' father.
It turns out the name Happy Davis has been connected with a lot of philanthropic giving over the last four years, though no one seems to have connected it to Ray Davis' fortune. Federal tax records show Davis formed the Happy Davis Foundation in 2008 with an initial $1.5 million contribution, then added $7 million over the next two years, the latest for which records are available.
He's given $1 million to the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum in Dallas, for example; $1 million to the Buckner Foundation, a Christian charity based in Dallas; and $1 million to International Justice Mission, a Christian-oriented, human-rights agency in Washington, D.C., that aims to rescue victims of slavery and other forms of violent oppression.
Public records—such as those Davis uses to vet the management of his acquisition targets—also show that Davis and his wife, Linda, bought the White Pine/Double Heart Ranch near Gunnison, Colo., for $18 million in 2007, the year he retired from Energy Transfer Partners. The spread comprises 8,500 acres, plus 45,000 acres of leased public land, with a 10,000-square-foot lodge, according to a former listing with Ranch Marketing Associates.
After owning a succession of increasingly stately homes in Dallas, Davis moved after his retirement to a ranch in Denison, a placid rolling property with an unmarked gate and a newly built, 5,686-square-foot main house valued on the Grayson County tax rolls at $2.2 million. That doesn't include more than a half-dozen separate parcels of ranchland on the tax rolls in the Denison area.
About 10 miles away, meanwhile, at the North Texas Regional Airport, Davis keeps two corporate jets—a Dassault-Breguet Mystere Falcon 900 and a smaller Cessna 560—aircraft registration and property tax records show.
But what of his personal history, his educational credentials? News stories about Davis are almost non-existent. And those who know him well are instinctively defensive and protective. "In school I think he might have played football as an offensive lineman. When we talk about football, he likes to talk about offensive line play," said Waters, who could not name Davis' schools. "I think he grew up in East Texas, maybe Longview. You'd better ask his assistant."
Good suggestion. So I called Keli West, whose cellphone number someone at Avatar Investments offered up freely. I told West I had a few simple questions about Davis' hometown, his schools, and his family history. She said she would put my request to her boss. A day later she emailed to say, in effect, "No dice."
"If he talked to you, he'd have to talk to everybody," West said. "That's something he doesn't want to do."
And if he doesn't want to do it, he won't do it. So, should the Rangers sink from the top of their division, or let go of your favorite star, you'll have to find someone else to explain what happened. Almost certainly, Ray C. Davis will not be taking your calls.

Belgium heard: Geneva appeal by 49 States in favor of access to health care in Syria
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs Didier Reynders welcomes Tuesday's appeal made in Geneva by 49 states at the Syrian Humanitarian Forum to demand access to health care in Syria. Humanitarian organisations think this area is a priority. The facts are alarming: according to the UN, 55% of hospitals are destroyed and more than a third are disabled. More than two thirds of ambulances in the country are damaged and some are used for military purposes. In addition to this, medical staff are prevented from doing their work and patients are threathened.
For months, Didier Reynders and the Belgian diplomacy have been engaged to sensibilise Member States on this issue, both bilaterally and in international fora. Despite the deadlock in Syria, the Minister wishes to improve the situation on the ground for the Syrian people. In several statements the European Union called upon the parties in the conflict to respect international humanitarian law with respect to health care. These efforts have led to the establishment of a group of countries sharing these concerns and which decided to work together to promote this initiative. The joint statement is the result of these multiple diplomatic demarches.
The joint statement issued in Geneva calls the parties to the conflict to respect international humanitarian law with respect to access to health care in Syria and to facilitate the work of humanitarian actors. The humanitarian objective is to remind parties that they must protect medical personnel, facilities and vehicles and ensure humanitarian access throughout the country. For its part, the whole international community should use its influence with the parties so that they meet their obligations and protect medical and humanitarian assistance to Syria.
This is the first text on this issue approved transregionally and issued in the Syrian Humanitarian Forum. The statement made by the Ambassador of Belgium was supported by 49 States representing the 5 continents.
Didier Reynders hopes that this appeal will be heard by all parties and that the situation will improve on the ground for the Syrians. After more than 23 months of conflict, which becomes more and more violent, they need now more than ever urgently medical care.

All-Day Meatballs RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
- 1 cup milk
- 3/4 cup quick-cooking oats
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped onion
- 1-1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1-1/2 pounds ground beef
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1/2 cup water
- 3 tablespoons cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- In a large bowl, combine the first four ingredients. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into 1-in. balls. Place in a 5-qt. slow cooker.
- In a small bowl, combine the ketchup, water, vinegar and sugar. Pour over meatballs. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until meat is no longer pink. Yield: 6 servings.
Reviews for All-Day Meatballs
"These were ok, but way too moist. I may try these again with less milk and maybe a leaner ground beef. There was a lot of grease in the slow cooker. The sauce was delicious though."
"These were pretty good. My kids wondered why I didn't stick with my recipe, but I wanted to try it out, used brown sugar instead of white, and Seasoning salt instead of regular salt. Next time i'll use less milk."
"Instead of oats, I substituted 1/2 cup of wheat crackers and 2 big slices of bread, which I tore into big pieces, as part of doubling the recipe. Also, I omitted the sugar. I used a 6 qt. crockpot and cooked the meatballs for about 5 hours. The meatballs from this altered recipe got lots of compliments."
"Sounds good and quite easy, but is there a way to cut down on the sodium without losing the tase."

The Quantum Aurora MS is a stable mid range driver and is possibly the truest flying disc ever made. It has no rollover, virtually no fade, and surprising distance for a midrange driver. All you have to do is control the angle and watch it make great right curve, left curve, or dead straight shots. The MS is the best all-around golf disc you can buy. It's the one disc to have if you're just getting started in disc golf. Don't play a round without it.
The new run of (1.8) Quantum Aurora MS are like no other. Super clean jollylauncher plastic with a very new and tiny micro bead! The original molding piece was retired after the (1.7) run. With the new rim configuration, there will be no difference in the flight performance.
The Quantum line offers our most durable plastic. It provides excellent durability for a long life of reliable performance. Quantum plastic offers a smooth and solid feel in your hand with a translucent appearance.
You will find three QMS in the bag of Pasi Koivu, the 2013 Finnish Disc Golf Champion. He has one that is soft and grippy that he can throw anhyzer and for short straight shots. Another one is not so soft and is a little bit beat up. He says, "It is the straightest disc I have. It doesn't fade, doesn't flip, goes straight maybe 100 meters maybe more." The third one is a little harder plastic and more stable that he likes to use in windy conditions. If he wants to throw anhyzer in windy conditions, he uses this QMS.
Available up to 180 grams in Millennium Standard, Quantum, and Sirius Plastics

We stereotype places as much as we do people. Los Angeles means movie stars and traffic jams. Texas is cowboys, Florida is oranges, Arizona is the Grand Canyon, Idaho is grapes.
No, wait. Idaho is potatoes.
That's one of the problems with stereotyping—that kind of mental shorthand may tell a part of the story, but it never tells the whole story. And a lot of wine-minded people are looking forward to the day when potatoes will be in Idaho's rearview mirror and the state will be known for its wine. Grapevines were planted in Lewiston, Idaho, in 1864—before Washington and Oregon had vineyards. In 1872, grapes were introduced into Idaho's Clearwater Valley. A Frenchman, of course, Robert Scheleicher, won awards for his wines at expositions in Omaha, Buffalo, St. Louis and Portland.
But after Prohibition, it wasn't until 1970 that anyone tried to grow wine grapes in Idaho again, this time in the Snake River Valley. In 2007, the Snake River AVA—that's American Viticultural Area, akin to a European appellation—was established. (The designation means someone besides Idahoans are taking the state's wine very seriously.) An application for another AVA—for Lewiston, where it all started—is in process.
An AVA recognizes that a particular micro-climate is unique. Snake River's short, cool growing season means that riesling, gewurtztraminer and chardonnay widely grow, but there are warmer microclimates that may encourage more variety in the future. Meanwhile, Idahoan legislators are seeing dollar signs behind the baby wine industry—vineyards and wineries bring ready-to-spend tourists. In 2008, Idaho's wine industry had a $73 million dollar impact and created nearly 625 jobs.

eHealth at WHO
Resolutions on eHealth
The 66th World Health Assembly recognized the need for health data standardization as part of eHealth systems and services, and the importance of proper governance and operation of health-related global top-level Internet domain names, including ".health".
The World Health Assembly resolution recognized the potential of eHealth to strengthen health systems and to improve quality, safety and access to care, and encouraged Member States to take action to incorporate eHealth in health systems and services (58th World Health Assembly, 2005; Geneva, Switzerland).
World Health Organization in 1998 recognized the increasing importance of the Internet and its potential to impact health through advertising and promotion of medical products, in its resolution on "Cross-border advertising, promotion, and sale of medical products through the Internet" (101st Executive Board, 1998; Geneva, Switzerland).
mHealth: use of mobile wireless technologies for public health
eHealth collaborations
The ehealth unit is working in close collaboration with WHO collaborating centers, NGO's in official relations, its eHealth Technical Advisory Group (eTAG) and other partners.
