Committee can speed up plans for construction of new school
Published: Saturday, July 13, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, July 12, 2013 at 6:22 p.m.
The construction of a new high school for northern Davidson County took another step forward this week. It may not be the step advocates for the school wanted, but it does put the process further down the road. The Davidson County Board of Commissioners voted 5-2 Thursday to have members Fred McClure and Larry Potts join with members of the county school board on a committee to plan the school. Similar joint committees have planned other schools built during the past decade.
The fact the vote wasn't unanimous continues to show the difficulties with actually starting construction. Commissioners Steve Jarvis and Todd Yates voted against the appointments due to the fact no funding mechanism is in place yet. The high school, estimated to cost $45 million, is competing with a proposed industrial park in Linwood and construction of a new sheriff's office, among other projects. But another large turnout at the meeting shows school proponents will continue to seek action from commissioners. Starting the planning process will allow construction to begin quickly once the funding source is identified.
The industrial park was also on the minds of elected officials who took a tour of large buildings for sale in the county sponsored by the Davidson County Economic Development Commission. Many of the buildings are in poor condition and would require extensive renovations to become functional again. That's bad news for those who tire of seeing the eyesores deteriorate. Ideally, buildings can be repurposed, but that's often more feasible for large retail space rather than manufacturing buildings. Ultimately, owners may need to demolish the structures if a sale isn't completed in a reasonable amount of time.
The Lexington Housing Authority received some good news with the receipt of a $27 million federal grant to renovate public housing units. To put the figure into perspective, the LHA usually spends $340,000 a year for capital improvements. The repairs will begin in January 2014 and make the units more energy efficient in addition to other improvements. The residents will have some short-term inconvenience as they move to other units while the work is completed, but they will return to nicer units that should cost less to operate.
An iconic figure at the Lexington Library will soon read her last story to children in an official capacity. Dare Wilson, a 35-year employee of the Davidson County Public Library, will retire at the end of the month. Many children developed a love of reading thanks to Wilson. The public will have a chance to say an official goodbye during a retirement party from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at the library, 602 S. Main St.

Broward County Library has published its first eBook, The Bienes Museum Catalogs of James A. Findlay. This lushly illustrated publication pays homage to the work of librarian and curator James A. Findlay, who served as director of the Bienes Museum of the Modern Book, a rare books and special collections library located at Main Library. Findlay, who passed away in 2010, was responsible for organizing and curating exhibitions from the Bienes Museum's own special collections, which total more than 15,000 items, including rare books, artifacts, manuscripts and reference materials.
"This eBook is the first of many which will showcase, through digitization, our special collections that can now be showcased to all Broward County residents and the world by means of the Internet," says Broward County Library Director Robert E. Cannon.
The new eBook, the first of its kind to be created in-house at Broward County Library, is a survey of the approximately 30 printed publications Findlay and his staff prepared to accompany Bienes Museum exhibitions. The Bienes Museum Catalogs of James A. Findlay provides an exciting look back at publications that Jim Findlay (1943-2010) wrote, edited or contributed to in some capacity. Jim and his colleagues produced a varied array of exceptional print pieces, at times in collaboration with expert collectors. Customers can now learn more about Broward County Library and its vast array of holdings with a simple download to their e-reader or tablet.
The Bienes Museum Catalogs of James A. Findlay may be accessed for free by visiting Broward County Library's online Digital Collections page. It is available in EPUB eBook (iPad, NOOK, Sony Reader) | Kindle Book. You can also view the EPUB eBooks on your computer with Adobe Digital Editions.

Seahawks score five in 9th to beat Ga. State
Published: Saturday, March 23, 2013 at 11:43 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, March 23, 2013 at 11:43 p.m.
UNCW rallied from an 11-7, ninth-inning deficit to defeat the Georgia State Panthers 12-11 at Brooks Field on Saturday in one of the wildest baseball games of the Seahawks' season.
Photo Galleries
With the win, the Seahawks swept the weekend series and moved to 17-7 overall, with a 4-1 record in the CAA.
Justin Livengood picked up his first win of the season for UNCW, while Aidan McLaughlin got the loss for Georgia State. The Hawks have now won six games in a row and 11 of their past 12.
"It's certainly nice to be able to get three wins against a quality ball club," head coach Mark Scalf said. "We kind of opened the flood gates for them, but our guys just didn't quit. We felt like we could come back if we could find a way to score some runs, and we were able to do that."
The Panthers blew the game open in the fifth inning, scoring seven runs to take what looked like a commanding 8-1 lead. Slowly but surely, though, the Hawks began to chip away, cutting the deficit to 8-7 heading into the ninth.
"We've been down before, and it's just about chipping away and trying to come back," catcher Drew Farber said. "Never really doing it in one inning. We knew we had a lot of time. We know we're never out of any game. I think we all kind of rely on each other and I think that showed off tonight."
Farber led the offense during the late-innings rally, going 4-for-5 at the plate with two RBIs.
"The coaches have been preaching from the start just to have good approaches at the plate, and the hits will come," Farber said. "So that helped a little bit tonight."
Down by a run going to the ninth, the Hawks dug themselves into another hole, giving up three runs to the Panthers and trailing 11-7 going to the bottom half of the inning.
The Seahawks started the rally with a single by Luke Dunlap, and after Corey Dick was hit by a pitch and Ryan LaGrange singled, the Hawks had the bases loaded with nobody out. Christian Wolfe walked to bring in a run, and then a Farber single made it 11-9. After another walk and Michael Bass' hit by pitch, the game was tied.
The Hawks sealed the comeback when Josh Abshire, who reached on a fielder's choice, was called safe on another fielder's choice play at third with two outs. Instead of going to first on a ground ball by Dunlap, third baseman Caden Bailey tried to get Abshire at third. Abshire beat Bailey to the bag with a head-first slide as Michael Bass came home to score the winning run.
"I saw the ball was a slow roller, wasn't hard hit," Abshire said. "So I figured if I could get in front of him and try to catch his attention, then he would try to get to me. I knew once he caught the ball I could beat him to third."
"It was a close play, but man, what a game," Abshire added. It was a team effort, and I'm just glad we could come out on top."

As part of our re-design of the Museum's galleries, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has just opened a fantastic new Beatles exhibit. It features all new casework, a video element and – best of all – several great new artifacts. The Museum has had a great relationship with Yoko Ono since day one. As a result, we have always had numerous artifacts representing John Lennon, including his Sgt. Pepper uniform, the guitar he played during the bed-ins for peace that he and Yoko held in 1969, several lyric manuscripts and a black leather jacket from the Beatles' days in Hamburg. This time around, as we revamped our Beatles exhibit, both Olivia Harrison and Ringo Starr also contributed artifacts. George Harrison's widow loaned us a striped suit that he wore during the Beatles' 1966 tour of the U.S. and an orange jacket that he wore to the premiere of Yellow Submarine. Ringo loaned us a red jacket that he wore in the "Strawberry Fields Forever" promo film. In addition, the exhibit includes Lennon's collarless jacket that he wore in 1963 and 1964, the Beatles logo drumhead from the band's appearance on the Ed Sullivan show in February 1964, a jacket Paul McCartney wore in the film Help!, two electric Rickenbacker guitars played by John Lennon and George Harrison, handwritten lyric manuscripts to "In My Life" and "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.". . . I could go on and on…. It's a fabulous exhibit, and our visitors are loving it. I want to thank Yoko, Olivia, Ringo, the people at Apple and everyone else who made this exhibit possible. Come by and check it out. You will be blown away!

About the American Music Masters® Series
The American Music Masters® series, a co-production of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum and the Baker-Nord Center for the Humanities at Case Western Reserve University, celebrates the lives and careers of artists who changed the shape and sound of American culture. Drawing together experts, artists, fans and friends, the series provide new perspectives on the most beloved and influential musicians of the past century.
The tribute concert brings together a diverse mix of artists and musical styles, and as a result, many magical moments have taken place over the years. In 2004, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss performed onstage together for the first time to honor Lead Belly. This year the pair was awarded the highest honors of Album of the Year for Raising Sand and Record of the Year for "Please Read the Letter" at the 51st annual Grammy awards. Honoree Jerry Lee Lewis, who was not scheduled to perform at the 2007 concert, was moved to take the stage at the end of the show. Lewis tenderly played the piano and sang "Somewhere Over the Rainbow". At the first American Music Masters tribute concert, Bruce Springsteen set the bar high and performed in honor of Woody Guthrie. The most star-studded and unique performance by a trio was Aretha Franklin, Solomon Burke and Elvis Costello paying tribute to Sam Cooke in 2005. Last year, a 93-year-old Les Paul took the stage with his trio and then led an epic jam with some of rock and roll's greatest guitarists, from Jennifer Batten to Slash.

Rated 4.8 out of 5 by 5 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by FreeSpirit Great soup bowls Hubby and I eat soup during the winter every day. We make a big pot to last a few days and simply microwave our portions when we need them. They hold a good size portion of soup, are sturdy, and I love the pottery look/feel. When serving the soup we roll up the napkin and tuck it through one of the handles until ready for use. They tolerate dishwasher cleaning very well. The money for these bowls was well spent. February 15, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Abjita Great! I love it!, it holds enough of soup of whatever you can put on it, looks very classic, elegant, chic, formal, casual, just great; love handles it has because it makes it to easy to carry and hold up mostly if this is hot. February 11, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cindy324 Loves these bowls for chicken pot pie I bought these bowls for use in the oven, they worked great. I made chicken pot pie, they clean up great. Can't wait to make baked French onion soup in them. Great buy! March 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Evrieday Perfect for Chowdah and Pot Pies These soup crocks are the best! I can't believe how affordable they were. I make homemade chowder and chicken potpies and these have been absolutely perfect. I was happy to successfully bake off the potpie crusts in the oven with these and it held up beautifully. Also, they look professionl and can be easily cleaned in the dishwasher! February 27, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Sass1011 Perfect for French onion soup These bowls are perfect for our French onion soup. The only problem was that one arrived with a cracked handle. February 1, 2013

ZF-6982: "zf create action" automatic code formatting messed up
When I create an action for an existing controller via "zf create action ", Zend_Tool creates an action method stub in the controller file.
The bad part of it: it also inserts a blank line after every line and messes with the indentation, indenting everything after the first line in every method. If you create subsequent actions, the effect accumulates. So after the creation of a few actions, your file consists of mostly blank lines with occasional code lines inbetween, and most of the code lines are indented by several tabs.
Thus, everytime I use the Zend_Tool via the CLI, I'll have to tidy up the mess, only to have it all scrambled up with the next action creation.
I'm on a Mac, so maybe part of the problem relates to different line break characters between Windows and Mac OS X. But that's just a shot from the hip.
I'm also using Zend Studio on Mac, if you want to know.
Best regards, Constantin
I can confirm that this also happens on Windows.
Regards, Wenbert
I confirm that I also have this problem.
In addition, any constants defined in the class will be removed and any function that has type-hinted parameters eg
public function indexAction(MyObject $object)
will be replaced as
public function indexAction($)
I have same problem on Ubuntu 8.10.
I resolve this proglem change the file
Zend \ Reflection \ Method.php
on line 153 i put this:
$tempLines = array_slice($lines, 0); $lines = array(); foreach( $tempLines as $line ){ array_push( $lines, rtrim($line) ); }
this script just remove the break line on the end. This work for me.
Added to CodeGenerator also
As of 1.9.6, the extra line breaks have been fixed but the indentation problem remains.
Resolved in trunk in r23561, merged to 1.11 release branch in r23562.

Guittard is one of those chocolate companies you start to hear more about one you dive into the chocolate and candy world a little more than your average candy eater. I didn't really become aware of them until my love of candy went from "enjoy" to "enthusiasm". Guittard works a little more behind the scenes than most chocolates, in a sense, as they don't really produce a mass produced chocolate bar like Godiva, Ghirardelli, Lindt, Mars, Hershey's, etc. yet you can find their chocolate most anywhere. For example, See's uses Guittard chocolate to make all their confections, as does many other companies and bakers. You just gotta look for it.
Guittard also is a very groundbreaking company. They did a lot of work to establish themselves into Single Origin chocolates, Fair Trade chocolates, as well as the fight to "Keep It Real" when the FDA wanted to allow mockolate to take the same identity and the pure stuff. I admire them immensely for this.
I've been meaning to do a review of their work for some time and wanted to really express what wonderful chocolate work they do. I'm going to try and not overdo any of the tasting with too much information. Sometimes simple is best.
65% Madagascar Criollo: A delight to look at with it's gorgeous temper and hard, clean break and classy red/brown color with a subtle gloss. The taste is nice and chocolatey, with flavors of red berries, raisins, coffee and caramel. Like many Madagascar chocolates, it's not very acidic. It has a beautifully clean finish.
55% Hawaii: One of Guittard's newest chocolates, using beans solely grown in Hawaii. It has a nice chocolate color that's a rich brown. It has a beautiful snap and temper, and it smells of fruity, roasted coffee and berries.
The bite is slightly soft, as it's only 55%, which is the range of all my favorite chocolates. The flavor is stunning. Strong flavors of milk, cream, and caramel at first. Then the main taste shows and it's of sweet raisins. There's a slight fruity crescendo in the middle of red berries, and the chocolate finishes lightly and completely clean on the palate.
And the texture? It's so smooth and slick. It's completely decadent. I love it, love it, love it.
Guittard Tasting Kit:
Sur Del Lago: A very "green" flavor of vegetables and mushrooms. There's a cream flavor in the middle and has very sour notes at the end of citrus and spice.
Quevedo: Smells deep with floral, spice, woody and fruity notes. The flavor is lovely, notes of cream that evolve into fruity notes, with hints of dates and raisins. The aftertaste is slightly dry, but clean. I really liked this.
Chucuri: This one smells peppery and very strongly of "green". Asparagus jumps to mind. The flavor is dry, yet sweet. Again, such a bright green flavor of asparagus, mushrooms, and some light herbal notes that remind me of tea. The aftertaste is a little musky.
Ambanja: The lightest of the four in color. The aroma is light, floral and fruity/citrusy and a little spice thrown in. It starts lightly fruity with woodsy notes that emerge into prune plum flavors with some cinnamon and allspice.
Overall, Guittard's chocolate is just stellar. I buy the bars whenever I come across them, and I made some stellar truffles with them recently. Whether for just cooking, baking, or eating, you can't go wrong.
Rating: Will Buy Again

The Federal Trade Commission just issued a study showing how frighteningly common credit report errors are and why you need to fix any mistakes on yours.
The FTC surveyed 1,101 people who reviewed their 2,968 credit reports to look for errors. The results:
- Roughly 1 in 5 (21 percent) found a mistake on at least one of their credit bureau reports.
- Some 5 percent had errors that were serious enough for them to be denied credit or to pay higher interest rates than appropriate.
- Nearly 1 in 10 saw an improvement in their credit score after getting their report changed – in some cases by more than 25 points.
"These are eye-opening numbers for American consumers," said Howard Shelanski, director of the FTC Bureau of Economics.
But here's one upsetting statistic from the FTC's report: Half the people whose credit reports were amended after they complained still had information on their reports they alleged was inaccurate.
The FTC's findings echo the results of the scathing series by The Columbus Dispatch that I blogged about last spring.
Credit Bureaus Often Fail to Fix Errors
It found rampant errors on credit reports from the three big credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian and TransUnion), but noted that the bureaus often do a lousy job correcting errors after consumers contact them.

PCC Alum Van der Wyk On Impressive Adams State Cross Country Team
Finishing her junior collegiate season, former Pasadena City College women's cross country great Tracee van der Wyk helped Adams State College (Colorado) to conference and regional titles as well as a third place at the NCAA Division II National Championships last month.
At PCC, van der Wyk established the highest individual finishes by a PCC women's racer ever in the 2010 South Coast Conference, Southern California Regionals, and CCCAA State Championships.
After taking a year off from college racing, van der Wyk accepted a scholarship at Adams State and was part of a tremendous Grizzlies' 2012 squad.
At the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference (RMAC) Championships, van der Wyk ran ninth place overall, but only fifth on her own team as Adams State placed six runners in the top 11 in easily winning the team title. She posted a time of 22 minutes, 57 seconds over the 6-kilometer course at Colorado Springs.
At the NCAA Division II South Central Regional Championships in Denver, van der Wyk placed 10th out of 157 runners from more than 25 universities with a 22:38 finish.
Van der Wyk capped her year by placing 71st at the national championships in Joplin, Missouri. She ran a 21:53.6 as one of 249 participants. She impressed many by climbing 35 spots over the last half of the race. However, Grand Valley State (Michigan) won the national title with Adams State settling for third. Grizzlies' senior Alicia Nelson won the individual national title with a new Division II record time of 20:03.3.

Tonight, Bill Janovitz will discuss his recent book Rocks Off: 50 Tracks That Tell the Story of The Rolling Stones at Cuyahoga Community College's Tommy LiPuma Center for Creative Arts in the Black Box Theater (adjacent to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's Library and Archives, 2809 Woodland Avenue, Cleveland). The event is part of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum's 18th annual Music Masters series, honoring the music of the Rolling Stones. For the complete schedule of Music Masters events, including Saturday's Rolling Stones tribute concert, click here.
In Rocks Off, Janovitz – also singer, guitarist, and songwriter in the band Buffalo Tom – shares the story of the Rolling Stones as told through 50 of their most representative songs. Janovitz is also the author of Exile on Main Street (from the critically acclaimed 33 1/3 series) about the iconic Stones album.
In advance of tonight's event, Janovitz toured the Museum in Cleveland, including Rolling Stones: 50 Years of Satisfaction. He sat down with the Rock Hall to discuss how he came up with Rocks Off concept, how he narrowed down the Rolling Stones' catalog to just 50 songs and why Sticky Fingers may be the most representative of the Rolling Stones' oeuvre.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Vazmami I love the order Thank you very much. I will be ordering in the near future! July 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by MWest This product is excellent! Absolutely Wonderful! This is just what I needed to use on the church altar and the stopper top fit the other cruet that we already were using (we needed a new top because the old cruet top broke and this one fit!). The price was GREAT also. I ordered two! The only thing to make it better would be free shipping and handling. I would definitely order this product again and World Market come through. GREAT!!! The wrapping was also the best! Thanks and keep up the good work. God bless. January 25, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Heidi07 Great $$! I purchased 11 glass cruet's to fill and give away as Christmas gifts. While I finished filling them with homemade rosemary & garlic infused olive oil, I noticed a few of the stoppers wouldn't stay down. After I messed with them a bit they did stay down long enough to give away. However, I did hold one bottle back and noticed every time I used it, the stopper would pop off. Maybe it was because of the "OO" on the tip...either way, isn't this the point of using it?! Unfortunate, because they were cute and perfect size (10oz). January 20, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Ashley19 Spout Cracked and Tops Don't Properly Fit I also bought 12 of these to fill with homemade rosemary and lemon olive oil last Christmas. While these are adorable and reasonably priced, they unfortunately did not hold up well. While still in the store we noticed some of the cruets were cracked near the spout but we liked them so hoped for the best. But, despite being careful with them, by the time we put them in the boxes, more than half had cracked at the spout and only a few could be sealed with the ball lids. We actually ended up forgoing the cute tops, and stuck corks in them because we knew they would leak otherwise. This year we are trying similar but different bottles from WM, hopefully with better results. November 12, 2014

Fribourg, gourmet cityCapital of the canton of the same name, this medieval city of bridges is also the link between the French- and Germanspeaking areas and their cultures. No fewer than eleven GaultMillau- listed restaurants are waiting to be discovered, at enjoyably reasonable prices: an impressive number for a city of just 35,000 inhabitants.
Pre-Alps: cheese and chocolateUp in the alpine meadows grazing cows polish off 100 kg of lush grass, full of wild herbs such as thyme, caraway and vanilla-scented wild orchids daily. The result is 25 litres of gloriously creamy milk every day.
When you order a coffee in the Fribourg Pre-Alps, it is often served with a small wood or chocolate container filled with double cream that drops heavy and rich from the spoon. This double crème also goes sublimely well with meringues or berries.
Nature and nourishment come together at the gastronomic level in Les Paccots. Along the gourmet trail here, in little alpine chalets, you can stop to taste the typical dishes of the region.

Sure, I write this blog and I come up with about 99 percent of the ideas, but I'd love to hear more often from readers and not just when I misspell the name of a band's drummer. So in other words, I'm trying to be a recovering autocrat when it comes to filling this space. And by definition, that will take some help.
One thing we know we're about to do is start adding more videos to this blog - some I shoot, some others can shoot and then send me - which should spice things up a bit. But that still leaves a lot of room for divergence.
At Salt Lake Magazine, we want to know if there are events going on in SLC and around Utah I'm not covering that you'd like to see written about? Or are there other entertainment and cultural items you'd like to see reviewed or previewed more regularly? If so, e-mail at email@example.com. I'd love to see what you have to say and incorporate your feedback into the Magazine's ongoing online coverage of arts and entertainment.
I cover a lot of music events, but I'm also a big fan of movies, live theater and dance. With some help and input from our readers, we'd like to do more and see if that appeals this blog's readership. So, again feel free to contact us here at Salt Lake Magazine via either my email or in the comment space below.
Thanks! And Happy 2012!
Scott Murphy Arts/Entertainment Editor Salt Lake Magazine

Romanian Mountain Forum
- Date submitted: 31 Oct 2011
- Stakeholder type: Major Group
- Name: Romanian Mountain Forum
- Submission Document: Download
Full SubmissionROMANIAN MOUNTAIN FORUM
To the
Secretariat of RIO + 20 UNCSD
Romanian Mountain Forum is a non-governmental organization of national level, created as a result of IYM-2002, active member of the International Mountain Partnership and Euromontana, which brings together over 400 representatives of mountain territories from 27 counties, farmers, forest workers, communities and mountain NGOs, personalities from the circles of science, academic and university specialists in rural development and environment protection, as well as administrative and political factors - senators and deputies from the Romanian Parliament; Considering that the UNCDS - Rio +20 Summit will take place in 2012;
Based on the experience gathered between 1990 and 2011 in Romania and the lucrative relationships with European (EUROMONTANA, AEM, European Commission, Council of Europe, MF), international (Mountain Partnership, FAO, World Association of Mountain People, the World Bank) and national bodies;
In order to ensure that the specificity of the protection and sustainable development of the Carpathian mountain region of Romania (and of the mountains from South-Eastern Europe, with similar needs) will be safeguarded from degradation and supported within international negotiations, we address the following
In the vast area of the Romanian Carpathians, with ~ 90,000 km2, 824 administrative municipalities and 3560 villages, 3.6 million people and agri-zootechnics millennial traditions, 20 years after the international event Rio - 1992, which included Agenda 21, Chapter 13 - "Mountains" as fragile ecosystems, the demand for mountain goods, services and infrastructure has increased significantly. But in spite of all the efforts that have been made by some institutions and NGOs, by personalities with high responsibilities, with some notable results (agri-tourism and mountain tourism, pilot farms, training, scientific research, infrastructure, environment protection, etc .) including support measures, not enough compared to the pressing needs, in the year 2011 there is a very deep degradation of the mountain environment and the mountain rural economy, especially the private agriculture / animal husbandry, with very serious consequences, such as: Irrational cutting of forests, especially in the higher areas, such as conifers, with consequences on the environment and society (floods, landslides, etc.);
Degradation of the natural flora of mountain pastures with crucial feeding importance for ruminant livestock (cattle, sheep / goats), which are not competing with man for food (they eat grass, not grain).
This occurred as a consequence of the dramatic decrease of livestock (50-80 %.... depending on the micro-areas) and hence the volume of organic fertilizer, an essential factor for maintaining the natural flora of mountain meadows, flora which is of great social value - for food, absorption of carbon, biodiversity, landscapes, etc.. Main causes: 1. The focus of governments, local administrations and some agricultural producers on the big agriculture from areas with high fertility, such as plains and hills, based on crops and marginalization of smaller mountain agriculture and animal husbandry; 2. The monopoly installed by food industries, the lack of competition and the extremely low prices for raw materials, especially milk and meat, as organic products, of high biological quality, due to floral polymorphism. There are disappointing prices (e.g. 7-8 liters of milk for 1 euro!) and the consumer pays 1.2 to 1.4 euros / liter, a situation that was reported by RMF to all the factors of national responsibility and the highest institutions of the European Union (European Parliament, European Commission, Council of Europe). 3. The lack of effective protective intervention from the State, national or multinational the pressure of national or multi-national owners' structures on the administrative and political structures to maintain such a system, which is very harmful for the small mountain farmers, led to agrizootechnics not being profitable anymore, with the effect of intense decrease of poverty for most of the producers, discouragement and hopeless future for the younger generations living in the mountain countryside; 4. The appearance of a very serious phenomenon, the lack of interest for modernizing the mountain farms and the massive agricultural abandonment (abandoned lands, tens of thousands of hectares of grassland which are no longer harvested, invasion of useless plants, etc.); 5. Mass exodus of youth from the 3560 mountain villages, to cities or abroad, where the unemployment rate increases, excessive aging of the population which is still agriculturally active; 6. Very serious for environment and economy: in the absence of organic fertilizers a natural phenomenon takes place, the mountain fodder polyflora will turn wild again, in just 8-10 years. This flora, a wealth of mountain areas, which generates food for many millions of people, has been selected, with hard efforts, by dozens of generations of people, in more than 2,000 years of continuous use of organic fertilizers, with sustainable traditional technology and best practices that have been preserved in the Romanian Carpathians and the Carpathians and Balkans elsewhere. The natural flora will be lost in less than a generation, by human negligence, a loss that will be permanent under the circumstances of the twentyfirst century ? such as globalization, free movement of people and many of today's agricultural alternatives for mountain young generations, which did not exist in the past centuries. The intimate connection and interdependence between MAN-ANIMALS-ORGANIC FERTILIZERS-FODDER FLORA is essential and irreplaceable in mountain agricultural economy, which is not a green economy and any harm to this fragile ecosystem is not only harmful but also it can not be recovered (the mountain punishes. ..) For these reasons comes the necessity of giving priority to mountain agriculture, in order to avoid huge, irrecoverable losses. 7. A cause with negative effects can also be found in the misapprehension of the notion of "biodiversity", by interest groups that have generated attitudes and even rules for the conservation of invading plants, with no forage value, to the detriment of flora with high social value (ex. Nardus s.) or financial stimulation of late cutting of grass or excessive breeding of wild animals, such as predators, with discouraging consequences for mountain farmers. 8. The specialized institutional system, created in 1990, namely Romanian Mountain Area Commission, turned, by reduction, into the National Agency of Romanian Mountain Areas (Ministry of Agriculture) and the mountain research and vocational training institutions, have not been supported and developed but after 20 years of proven fertile activity, have been dissolved in 2010! 9. A project partnership between the Romanian and Austrian ministries of education and agriculture and the Romanian Mountain Forum, establishing the first nine professional schools of mountain agriculture, a government-funded project started in 2008 that was discontinued in 2009, under the pretext of economic crisis. In conclusion, In the Romanian Carpathians, which were not and are not using chemicals, there is food, quality protein, ensuring food security for more than 3 million people. With a good management and support, ecological food could be produced, by using technologies that do not require oil, for more than 6 million people. A sustainable alternative to "green economy", for the benefit of the whole society is still possible, but dependent on a general effort, the existence of distinct specific government policies and programs for mountain areas, with more intense interventions in the areas most vulnerable. Such a strategy is necessary at the level of the European Commission as well, where mixing mountain areas with "other disadvantaged areas" is an outdated type of approach, which did not bring the necessary balance in mountain economy, especially in emerging countries like Romania and others. Romanian Mountain Forum, based on the national and international experience with governmental and non-governmental institutions, on the results of the scientific research from the last 20 years, under the pressure from the new challenges and threats posed by climate change and major population growth to more than 9 billion people in 2050, believes that: The importance of mountain areas increases considerably in this century in terms of human food production and new habitat areas. It is extremely important for the food security of both the mountain people and the mankind that the mountains continue to produce quality food, by sustainable methods. Mountain agriculture and animal husbandry are extremely fragile and bear, especially in less developed or emerging countries, but with tradition, such as Romania, the consequences of lack of strategies and programs. Mountain agriculture, as the "engine" of economic, social and cultural activities of mountain communities should be treated as priority by governments, because, as different from the case of fertile plain / hill areas, based on agricultural crops, in the mountain areas the natural fodder flora is turning wild again, in a very short period of time. An entire mountain economy, created during centuries of human efforts, can be lost in a single decade of negligence, because under the deeply changed conditions of XXI century, abandonment of agriculture and traditions and the young generations leaving the mountain communities, is an irreversible phenomenon. In the XXI century humanity can not afford to lose a large economic segment that produces food and many other goods. On the contrary, a conscious attitude is necessary, imperative and urgent, in order to improve the overall effort to increase the investment adapted to the needs and diversity of mountain specificities, with direct beneficial effects on mountain populations, especially on poor communities and, indirectly, on the whole mankind. We believe that it is in the interest of humanity that within the global and regional policies for mountain areas, as well as within the national policies, the two largest economies of the mountains - sustainable agriculture and forests - should coexist, in balanced ecosystems. PROPOSALS 1. To be mandatory for regions, states and governments to protect, by strategies, legislation and special programs, the populations of mountain farmers, in order to avoid human desertification, loss of their economies and cultures, which are fragile. 2. The creation and availability of financial resources able to provide effective motivating support for small mountain farmers, especially for young agricultural population, for breeding ruminants in extensive systems and producing healthy human food in ecological conditions. 3. Creating and supporting a more efficient and stable governmental institutional system, specialized on mountain areas and government?s support of mountain research and of a specific program for training of specialists and practitioners. Different provisions in the annual budgets for the financial resources meant for mountain agricultural economy. 4. Support of the establishment and operation of NGOs, especially of cooperative types of associations (Western) of mountain agricultural producers, at the level of traditional mountain basins, able to withstand market conditions. Endowing them with means of processing ecologic animal and vegetable raw materials, facilitation of selling these organic (mountain eco-bio) products on the national and international markets. The potential value added can be expressed by considering the mountain eco-bio-food products as "niche" products for a category of 'niche' consumers, interested and capable to pay an additional price for high quality and Health guarantees, as a source that may become important for supporting mountain agri-food eco-bio-economy, increasing family incomes and investment potential of small farmers, fighting against poverty and gradually reducing the support needed from specific grants - uncertain on long-term - linked to demographic growth. 5. Establishment of non-exclusive rational rules to ensure a balance between agriculture and forests in the mountain areas, in the spirit of mutual acceptance. 6. To ensure the high value of perenniality of high social value biodiversity, represented by the polymorphic natural fodder flora of mountain pastures and grasslands. 7. Giving up exaggerated guidelines and provisions, worthless or that may affect mountain food production. 8. Recognition, by governments, of the mountain populations? right to ?being different", the right to being compensated for natural handicaps and to be provided with tax incentives and other types of effective support. 9. Establishment/strengthening and development of an educational and vocational training system, adapted to the specificity of mountain agriculture and animal husbandry, mountain environment and living. 10. In parallel with the protection and encouragement of mountain agriforestry economy, the creation of new job opportunities in the mountain countryside, part time or full time pluri-activity representing a characteristic for most mountain communities. 11. International financial institutions to create a special fund intended to safeguard mountain agri-livestock economies with traditions, that are in danger of degradation. Mountain Partnership should have an "intervention fund" specifically designed to support specialized non-governmental organizations with pro-mountain activity. 12. UN should boost the establishment of an International pro-mountain Convention which would be joined by the governments that are members of the Mountain Partnership ? with a strong commitment from each government to take effective medium-term measures to prevent degradation of traditional agrilivestock economy and mountain environment, poverty and exodus of young generations and to foster sustainable development. 13. UN should develop the activity of Mountain Partnership, by establishing continental departments with the primary role to support mountain regions capable of producing human food - taking into account the specific elements (geo-climate, economics, traditions, etc.). Example: Europe with the regions of Carpathians and Balkans, Asia, Africa, South America. Romanian Mountain Forum hopes that the considerations and proposals made will come to the attention of the Secretariat of the UN Commission on Sustainable Development and will be a contribution to Rio-2012 Agenda and the Final Declaration*, respectively for the future UNCSD negotiations in favor of mountain issues.
