Backyard Aquaponics - Home Aquaponics - Commercial Aquaponics
SoCal Aquaponics is a large-scale commercial producer of organically farm-raised fish and greenhouse vegetables that will be located 60miles East of Los Angeles.
Our production facility will use an eco-friendly recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) to grow quality tilapia, shrimp and vegetables that will supply the local and foreign market with the much needed and wanted American Grown fish and vegetables.
Current intensive indoor aquaculture technology actually got it roots from technology first developed to grow fin fish like Tilapia, Stripped Bass, Trout and many other types of fish. When one first enters a modem aquaponics growing facility the first impression would be, this is just like a fin fish set up. There are many rows of tanks filled with water. The sound of pumps moving the water and other things one would find in such a place. However, a visual first impression is where the similarity ends and the business of growing this specialized creature begins.
Advantages of integrated production: Higher revenues can be achieved by farmers who can increase farm productivity and differentiate production with limited investment. Free availability of water weeds guarantees cheap supplies and keeps channels clear of clogging vegetation, thus providing an important environmental service. Decaying organic material can help fertilise ponds and at the same time provide a plant growing environment less prone to diseases and to soil pests.
new challenges for aquaculture and aquaponics development . Increased productivity wi th reduced ecological impact, integration between production systems and reduced use of chemicals are just some of the leading principles that more sustainable fish production needs to follow.
Insect and disease control techniques for vegetables in integrated systems are limited to the use of biological control, resistant varieties, screening and specialized cultural practices. In general, pesticides should not be used because most are very toxic to fish, and none have been approved for use in food fish culture. Similarly, most therapeutants for treating fish parasites and diseases should not be used in an integrated system because they harm the biofilter and vegetables may readily absorb and concentrate them. A possible approach to avoid the restrictions of pesticide usage is to establish the hydroponic unit as a flow- through system, thereby allowing the vegetables to be managed independently of the fish.
Vegetable production
More than 30 kinds of vegetables have been raised in integrated systems on an experimental basis. A wide range of systems has been used in a number of different environments from greenhouses in northern states that are heated in the winter to outdoor aquaponic systems in the subtropics. Production levels have varied greatly in response to environment, system design and management. Crops that have been studied most intensively include tomatoes and lettuce. Tomatoes appear to be most productive in outdoor gravel systems with varieties that are determinant (i.e., they set their fruit during a short period and are not pruned).
Tomatoes require a long growing period and are therefore at greater risk to damage from pests and diseases. Lettuce is a popular plant for integrated production because it grows well in response to high nitrogen levels, yields a high proportion of edible product, and is subject to less pest pressure due to its short production cycle. Common methods for growing lettuce in integrated systems are NFT and deep flowing channels with polystyrene sheets for plant support.
Plants are started in peat pellets in trays outside the system. After 3 weeks, the seedlings are transferred to the system for 3 more weeks of growth, which will bring them to harvest size under ideal conditions. Two additional weeks of growth are required during the winter in heated greenhouses. Lettuce production is usually staggered so that one crop is harvested each week, and a new one is immediately planted. Another crop with good potential for integrated systems is sweet basil.
SoCal Aquaponics intends to commercially produce and market wholesome seafood products, primarily shrimp, along with some fish (Tilapia and Barramundi) and organic vegetable crops utilizing the waste from the culture of the shrimp and fish.
Aquaponic systems vary in size from small indoor units to large commercial units. SoCal Aquaponics uses both fresh and salt water depending on the aquatic animal and vegetation (fresh or salt water).
At SoCal Aquaponics, our plants will be grown in a way (for example a hydroponic system) that enables them to utilize the nutrient-rich water. The plants uptake the nutrients, reducing or eliminating the water's toxicity for the aquatic animal.
Most green leafy vegetables grow well in the hydroponic filter. Although sometimes selected minerals or nutrients such as iron are added, the main source of nutrients for the plants is the fish waste.
Mission Statement: To be a worldwide industry leader in the development of environmentally friendly technologies for the purpose of creating commercially viable products which will capitalize on our innovative processes, lower cost and be pioneers in the marketplace. To provide a
comfortable work environment in which each individual is treated with respect and dignity. To continually develop and maintain satisfied customers. To create a clear, simple, reality-based vision and communicate this vision to all constituencies. To have enormous energy
and the ability to energize others. To set aggressive goals and reward progress; yet understand accountability and commitment. To contribute positively to our communities and our environment.

In the format that has become the norm for music festivals, the 2014 Firefly Music Festival line-up was announced in a mash-up music video. The young music festival that takes place in Dover, Delaware, will be this June 19 to 22. And judging by the recently released line-up, it's going to be even bigger than last year. The schedule is packed with some of the most buzzworthy, hyped up, indie darlings, comebackers, and sought after acts in music. Including Girl Talk, Childish Gambino, Young the Giant, Ziggy Marley, Imagine Dragons, Sleigh Bells, Local Natives, The Lumineers, Tegan and Sara, Tune-Yards, Jake Bugg, Weezer, Phantogram, Iron and Wine, Chance the Rapper, Amos Lee, Pretty Lights, Third Eye Blind, and the duo making all the festivals sell out, Outkast.
It's great to see the schedule include the veterans like the Foo Fighters and the new kids on the block like City and Colour. For a festival that is only on it's third year, Firefly has become one of the most anticipated. If you didn't get tickets to Coachella, Firefly is a worthy alternative.
For more information on the festival, visit the official website here.

There is a table
my_table which has not been created any partition in MySQL 5.6. And I'm trying to create partitions by procedure in
my_table, when I run this code:
alter table my_table remove partitioning
I'm getting this error:
1505 - Partition management on a not partitioned table is not possible
But when I run above code in MySQL version 5.5, this code can be run.
If my_table has been created partitions, and when I run above code, not only MySQL 5.5 can run, but also MySQL 5.6 can run too.
I guess that if this code can be run, MySQL 5.6 need to be config some files.But I am not able to why.
Can you solve it?

Synesthesia is defined as the involuntary and automatic perception of a stimulus in 2 or more sensory modalities (i.e., cross-modal linkage). Colored-hearing synesthetes experience colors when hearing tones or spoken utterances. Based on event-related potentials we employed electric brain tomography with high temporal resolution in colored-hearing synesthetes and nonsynesthetic controls during auditory verbal stimulation. The auditory-evoked potentials to words and letters were different between synesthetes and controls at the N1 and P2 components, showing longer latencies and lower amplitudes in synesthetes. The intracerebral sources of these components were estimated with low-resolution brain electromagnetic tomography and revealed stronger activation in synesthetes in left posterior inferior temporal regions, within the color area in the fusiform gyrus (V4), and in orbitofrontal brain regions (ventromedial and lateral). The differences occurred as early as 122 ms after stimulus onset. Our findings replicate and extend earlier reports with functional magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography in colored-hearing synesthesia and contribute new information on the time course in synesthesia demonstrating the fast and possibly automatic processing of this unusual and remarkable phenomenon.

Nothing's better than a sleepover at Grandma's house, from staying up late to reading "just one more" book, "Pleeeeeease, Grandma!"
But how many times can you read Margaret Wise Brown's classic, Goodnight Moon? This classic bedtime tale is so soothing, little ones can't help but relax and go to sleep – unless they've become immune, after hearing it a thousand times. And never mind the kids – grownups can only take so much. Certainly, there have to be (and, of course, are) more books that are suitable for after-schoolers and sweet-dreamers…
Here's a time- and grandparent-tested list of the best ever books for the school-aged crowd – including great quotes to share and discuss.
"One day Alice came to a fork in the road and saw a Cheshire cat in a tree. 'Which road do I take?' she asked. 'Where do you want to go?' was his response. 'I don't know,' Alice answered. 'Then,' said the cat, 'it doesn't matter."
- A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett
"...we are just the same--I am only a little girl like you. It's just an accident that I am not you, and you are not me!"
"The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or touched, they are felt with the heart."
"If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day so I never have to live without you."
"'I wish that I could give you something… but I have nothing left. I am an old stump. I am sorry…'
'I don't need very much now,' said the boy, 'just a quiet place to sit and rest. I am very tired.'
'Well," said the tree, straightening herself up as much as she could. 'Well, an old stump is a good for sitting and resting. Come, Boy, sit down. Sit down and rest.'
And the boy did.
And the tree was happy."
"My skin is kind of sort of brownish pinkish yellowish white. My eyes are greyish blueish green, but I'm told they look orange in the night. My hair is reddish blondish brown, but its silver when its wet, and all the colors I am inside have not been invented yet."
"And Max, the king of all wild things, was lonely and wanted to be where someone loved him best of all."
"Why did you do all this for me?' he asked. 'I don't deserve it. I've never done anything for you.' 'You have been my friend,' replied Charlotte. 'That in itself is a tremendous thing."
"I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant."
- The Lion and the Mouse by Jerry Pinkney (Aesop's Fables)
"No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted."

In Monday's Game 4, this was the only shot that a Chicago Bulls point guard made. It counted as two points for the Miami Heat.
This is about as sound a summation of the Bulls' crippling offensive struggles throughout their 88-65 Game 4 loss as I can offer. Sorry, Marquis Teague (0 for 2 for the floor). Sorry, Nate Robinson (0 for 12). Sorry, Bulls fans.
The Heat will look to finish the Bulls off when Game 5 tips at 7 p.m. EDT at AmericanAirlines Arena in Miami.

For those of you who have recently refinanced a home in Albany, can you recommend a mortgage lender? We recently tried to refinance our Albany home through a large national mortgage company. Our house is large by Albany standards (4+ bedrooms), and they could not find comps and we feel that the price came back rather low (actually, about 200,000 lower than when we had it evaluated four years ago). Our feeling is that the home's value probably is somewhere between this recent evaluation and the previous one,and wonder if a local mortgage broker, more familiar with the area, might be able to value the house perhaps more accurately. Does this logic make sense? It could be the value has dropped that much but, when houses come up for sale around ours, which is rare, they sell quite quickly and for asking price. The problem is, they are much smaller than our home. Albany dilemma
What type of professional would I need in order to borrow from the ''Bank of Mom & Dad'' to purchase a home? They are out of state, and very happy to do this for me. I would pay them interest, but lower than a mortgage I could get on my own. Do I need a lawyer to write up a promissory note? What type of lawyer? Do I need a financial advisor/planner/accountant/etc. of any type for any of this as well? M&D would loan the entire purchase price, and we're talking about approx. $300,000. Would I still be able to get the mortgage tax deduction somehow? anonymous
Disclaimer: although I am now a lawyer this is not the type of law I practice and I am not entirely certain I did it right but via my research I think I have the components. All things being equal, I would consult a lawyer.
One thing my father was very adamant about, in an abundance of caution, is that we not take out any other loans on the house. In other words no seconds, if we wanted a home equity line etc we would have to refi the whole thing. He was probably right because, even though your parent's ''first'' should have seniority, it could get messy in a negative equity situation to have your folks vs some big company.
Basically there are a couple of things you need to consider: 1) Record the deed of trust with the county. This basically records the mortgage in public document. This should give them the same rights as any lender...I think.
2) Loan contract- with your terms.
3) Interest rate. The IRS releases an applied interest rate each month. Your parents will need to charge you at least the minimum for a long term loan to be ensured to avoid gift tax. They are substantially lower than market.
4) Level of risk. We made certain our house was as close as possible to a no risk investment for the folks. I.e- the rent yield exceeds the note, bought at the bottom etc. I was just not comfortable with the idea of my parents- who are retired not being able to access there investment at any moment they should need to (be it by refinance or sale). For me personally, I was not willing to stretch my budget at all, even though we probably could have afforded a bit more house....
JUst my 2 cents done that
HI, I'm wondering if anyone knows of a mortgage broker who will do one of those ZERO cost refinances. I am looking for a 15 year fixed rate, which is what I have. We have excellent credit ratings. Thanks. Home sweet home
I'd like to get get tips on how to refinance. We are not distressed, have excellent credit scores but have an ARM that could increase if interest rates go up. We'd like to get into a 30-year fixed. I've heard how hard it is to refinance, even if you are in good financial shape. Is this still true? If so, can anyone give advice as to how to best go about it? Should we work with mortgage broker? Or try to work with our current loan holder (BofA)? I've heard a lot of bad things about BofA's refinancing (they were listed in the news as one of the worst), so I'm wondering what we can do. Thanks for your input! mortgaged momma
For certain reasons, we will need to refinance our house in April '09. Problem is, judging from recent home sales & foreclosure sales on our street, our house will likely appraise for 150K less than our current mortgage. We are assuming that no lending institution is going to allow us to refinance with them under those circumstances. We have no choice but to refinance, can't go into the details, but it will have to happen because we will lose our current mortgage then. What do we do? Mail in the keys and lose the 70K downpayment it took us a decade to save and ruin our credit for years? Very worried
We got sucked into a refi with an adjustable loan back in 2005 and now want refi into a fixed rate loan for a rental property. We are considering a 15yr fixed Fannie Mae loan cause their rates are more attractive than banks. However, it's difficult to lock in those their elusive rates since they fluctuate from day to day, unless those rates stabilize. There is a stiff prepay penalty, so it is basically a lifetime loan. We have no plans to sell, but we do have two kids heded for college within the next five years. We've never had a Fannie Mae loan before and wonder if there are risks that we don't know about. -Anon.
My 78-yr-old mother-in-law refinanced her home several years ago because she simply couldn't pay the bills on her existing SS payments. Unfortunately, her interest rates have continued to rise and she is now unable to even keep up with the interest payments; she is deferring over $200 each month in interest, which is added to her principal every month. Her interest rate is over 8.6% now, which seems quite high.
As we can't even afford our own house in the expensive Bay Area, my husband and I don't really know much about mortgages and the ins and outs of different options that might be available. For elderly with very limited incomes (less than $1000/month), what mortgage options might be best? How high would the refinancing fees be, and how do we calculate whether the refinancing would pay off in the short term?
This is complicated by the fact that we're also trying to find a way to move her to a senior community closer to us, so we're unsure as to how long she will actually remain in the house (we think she may need to sell within a year if we can find a place for her.) But we're wondering if refinancing in the meantime might possibly slow some of the financial hemorrhaging.
Any recommendations on who we could talk to in order to walk us through the financial ins and outs? Would it be a mortgage broker, financial planner, bank, or . . . ? She lives in Fairfield, but we live in San Jose. Thanks for any and all recommendations, as we could really use some pointers on this. Lost and don't know where to start
Depending on how long the reverse mortgage remains outstanding, there might not be any equity left for you to inherit -- or to be used to fund retirement home costs. However, it is the easist way to solve the cashflow problem.
Just Google ''reverse mortgage'' for a plethora of information. For advice tailored to your MIL's situation, I would suggest a mortgage broker. Reads the Real Estate Section
Hey, friends. My husband and I have just started a pretty extensive remodel, and we're already experiencing cost creep. Just thinking through our options, we're wondering about the wisdom of getting a construction loan to see us through the process and get all the work done at once, assuming we can afford the larger mortgage at the end. Alternatively, we may need to trim back our plans. My question to you is whether anyone has been through this process, any specific lenders who are good to work with, whether you thought this was a good way to finance a remodel and and any pearls of wisdom you might share. I'm also wondering if they will cover a major landscaping job or not, or if lenders limit the loans to the permitted constructions plans. I think I understand the application and mortgage conversion process pretty clearly, and understand about the lenders wanting to see permitted plans, check out the contractor and get a firm budget and timetable. So I don't need info about that stuff. Just looking for a sanity check on whether this is a stupid idea. Call Me Construction Crazy.
A construction loan is based on the final appraisal of your home after the remodeling is done. Let's say you bought your home for $500k. The construction is going to cost $300k. You would need to have an appraisal of at least $800k. They loaners like to have something around 10% leeway, so add that amount to the appraisal price. The loaners also want to have 3-6 months worth of mortgage payments (depending on the loaner), CASH, in the bank. This is so you won't fail on your payments and therefore screw the bank.
I doubt they would approve a landscaping loan (although they might approve something like a retaining wall), but you might get lucky. I had a hard time finding someone who would even talk to me regarding construction loans on an existing home -- most construction loans are for the building of a new home. Wells Fargo was very helpful but it ended up being too expensive for us to even consider. Hope this helps. Feel free to email if you have any questions. L

Ironwood's Sleight School second graders, from left, Aidan Bach, Connor Bentley and Riley Graser listen as Steve Kickert, Conservation Education Coordinator for the Ottawa National Forest, explains how deer gather beneath the winter boughs of white cedar trees as they forage for food.
"Mr. Ranger! Mr. Ranger! I think I see a squirrel track!" "What's a cedar tree used for?" "My ski poles are too long!"
Children have lots of important things to say when they go to the woods, and that's what 54 second graders from Ironwood's Sleight Elementary School did on March 11.
They were accompanied by volunteers, teachers and guides from the U.S. Forest Service on a cross-country nature ski on the trails at Wolverine Ski Area in Ironwood Township. Their nature ski was a chance for these novice cross-country skiers to put their newfound cross-country skiing skills to use exploring the winter woods.
Prior to coming on their guided ski trip, each student received copies of the Forest Service's "Junior Snow Ranger" booklet. The booklet provided activities where the students and their teacher learned about tracks, winter weather, snow crystals, and winter animal adaptations. It even taught students how to make frozen bubbles.
At the Wolervine Chalet, students met their guides - Sue Trull, Lily Palmer and Steve Kickert, all employees working at the Ottawa National Forest. Once on the trail, students were encouraged to use their senses to discover what was happening around them and to share what they uncovered.
"The Forest Service is excited to be able to participate in this program," said Kickert. "To see children's faces light up when they realize they can identify a hemlock tree, or figure out what made the hole at the base of the trunk, is to realize that some of the most important lessons we learn are not taught in the classroom."
The second grade students from Sleight School participated in cross-country ski lessons for five weeks as part of the Gogebic Range Youth Cross Country ski program coordinated by Paulette Niemi of the Gogebic-Ontonagon Intermediate School District.
"With the help of community volunteers, the students learned the basics of classic style cross country skiing and had the opportunity to ski on the trails at both Wolverine and ABR," Niemi said.
In addition to learning about skiing and nature, students received a healthy snack and nutrition lesson each week that was provided by Michigan State University Extension and Aspirus Grand View Health System.
"One of their favorite health lessons was learning about how much added sugar is in some of the popular drinks available, such as soda pop and energy drinks," said Niemi.
The program tied together, fitness, health and science while allowing kids to learn in a hands-on way in an outdoor setting, said Niemi.

Giving Credit Where Credit Was Denied
By DENNIS HEVESI
Published: June 8, 1997
THE bounding glee of Jasmine White as she cavorts on, off, in and around the battery-powered pink and white toy jeep in the backyard of her new home in Baldwin, L.I., is matched by the joy in her mother's heart.
Juanita White, 29, a single parent, has the house she dreamed of but never knew she could afford. She is a beneficiary of a major movement in the mortgage market toward giving a chance to those whose credit histories might in the past have raised greater concern, and to those who never even knew they could qualify.
It is not an altogether altruistic shift for the nation's mortgage industry, faced as it is with a contraction in the pool of borrowers with no blemishes on their financial portraits. Many of those so-called A-quality customers were swept up in a refinancing wave four and five years ago when, as the nation emerged from a recession, rates for the standard 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage dipped into the high 6 percent range. When those borrowers first bought, back in the 80's, the rates had been in the double digits.
Now, with rates hovering steadily at about 8 percent for that standard 30-year, fixed-rate loan, and with lenders still eagerly seeking customers even after a year of stellar housing sales and starts, the mortgage industry has gone hunting for those B- and C-quality borrowers.
And it has come home with the quarry.
According to Sheilah O'Connor, editor of Inside B&C Lending, a trade newsletter, the B and C sectors of the market brought in $96.5 billion in originated loans last year, up 48 percent from $65 billion in 1995. The data came from a survey of 100 B and C lenders across the nation.
In general, according to industry standards, a B-quality borrower is someone who had no more than four mortgage payments late by 15 days in the last year; a C-quality applicant is someone with no more than six late mortgage payments. Late credit card payments and default judgments are also part of the assessment, particularly for first-time buyers.
''Keep in mind,'' said Keith Gumbinger, vice president of HSH Associates, a mortgage research company in Butler, N.J., ''we had a deep recession that ended in '92. That created a new class of borrowers who had difficulties meeting their obligations. These are formerly A-quality borrowers, not your traditional low or slow payers, pushed down a class by perhaps one-time difficulties.
''What happens if you were a two-incomer and had a catastrophic illness in the family? Or maybe someone was downsized, and now jobs are better. Those black marks still exist on your credit rating,'' Mr. Gumbinger said. ''Lenders are now going after those folks aggressively.''
It is a shift for the industry that dovetails fortuitously with efforts by banks to comply with Federal mandates that they support what is officially termed affordable housing within their communities -- a movement that has helped spur the revitalization of stretches of blocks in neighborhoods that otherwise remain distressed.
And it is also a shift that, by definition, is fraught with increased risk. Studies indicate that the move toward what the industry refers to as ''subprime'' lending leads, not surprisingly, to a degree of increased delinquency. Part of this additional risk is offset by having subprime borrowers pay somewhat higher mortgage rates.
But for Juanita White, her prospects markedly improved now that she is a benefits manager for an entertainment corporation in Manhattan, the slight additional cost is well worth it.
Ms. White, along with 6-year-old Jasmine, lived in a Queens high-rise complex with her parents after moving back to New York from Columbus, Ohio, three years ago. ''I had always rented,'' she said.
But in Columbus she watched a friend transform ''flat land into a finished house'' and realized, ''that's what I want for my daughter.''
''Apartment living is not conducive for a child with bikes and Barbie Beach Cruisers, those 5 miles-per-hour toy jeeps,'' Ms. White said. ''Lugging those things down nine flights is not easy.''
Eight years ago, after graduating from Spelman College in Atlanta, Ms. White dug a financial hole for herself. ''Like all college kids,'' she said, ''I wanted everything immediately -- clothes, a furnished apartment.'' Too soon, she was ''$7,000, $8,000 behind'' on her credit cards. ''It was a lot, 21 years old with that kind of debt. Also, I had $20,000 in student loans.''
After joining a credit-counseling program and working in several cities, however, Ms. White cleared her debt and landed her current position, earning about $60,000 a year. But that old debt ''was still on my record,'' she said.
Working with a counselor named Ameil Spruill at the Neighborhood Housing Service of Jamaica, Ms. White learned how to explain the blemishes on her credit history, and ''to assess how much money I needed, how much I could afford, for the house I wanted.''
Eventually, with a reference from Mr. Spruill to a real estate agent in Baldwin, ''I found the home of my dreams,'' she said, a three-bedroom ranch in ''perfect, move-in condition'' for $156,000.

How did a tiny seed of an idea bloom into learning all about plants? When a teacher from a large-city preschool decided to repot the overgrown classroom plants, she noticed that nearly all the children were eager to help. They chatted about new pot selections, compared various plant characteristics, and offered opinions on repotting. The teachers soon realized that an investigation of planting would be a perfect class project.
The teachers felt confident that planting was an exploration that fit well within the curriculum goals and provided ample opportunity for authentic experiences that would address Ohio Early Learning Content Standards. They listed several options for field site visits and the many hands-on artifacts that were accessible. They decided to focus on different types of dirt and to plant grass seed in cups in the classroom.
The planting project brimmed with fun, confidence-building activities. The children played pretend gardening and then moved on to planting their own grass seeds. To encourage the children's interests, the class read books about plants and gardening. The preschoolers started flower and vegetable seedlings for a new outside garden, prepared the soil, and created a seed chart. Taking a field trip, the children spent a rewarding and informative day exploring an Ohio State University greenhouse, where they tallied and sketched the greenhouse plants and equipment, and each child planted his or her own plant. The class's second field site visit was to the lush environments of the Franklin Conservatory.
To complete their project, the energetic preschoolers constructed their own greenhouse. At the final event, the children were able to share their newfound knowledge of planting, narrate photo displays of their work, and show examples of what they had grown.

Pared Federal Spending Plan Takes 17% from Anticrime Aid, COPS
April 12, 2011 09:10:00 am
Federal appropriations for the fiscal year ending Sept. 30 being voted on by Congress this week would cut federal anticrime aid to state and local governments, and the COPS community policing program, by 17 percent. The bill does not cut funds to the Office for Violence against Women, the National Institute of Justice, Bureau of Justice Statistics, Justice for All, and Missing and Exploited Children's programs. The bill was the result of negotiations that avoided a government shutdown last weekend.
The FBI gets $7.8 billion, above last year's figure but $249 million below the Obama administration's request. The U.S. Bureau of Prisons gets $6.3 billion, also above last year's figure but $239 million below the President's budget request. Justice Information-Sharing Technology gets $60.3 million, $119.5 million below the President's request. On paper, $4.9 billion is taken from the Crime Victim's Fund but that money would not have been spent anyway because there is a $705 million cap on annual spending from the fund.

This is a hammered sheet silver breastplate with the neatest iconography that I have seen. This piece screams pre-Columbian. It depicts a fanged anthropomorphic transformational diety war god figure in full regalia holding 3 double-headed snakes/serpents wearing an elaborate feline/monster headdress showing fierce demon facial features. It shows many levels of patination. It is 7.2" X 5.7". It is attributed to the Chavin culture. Similar figures at The Old Temple from the ceremonial center of Chavin de Huantar date this piece to 900BC. From a private German collection that was purchased from a 34 year old Peruvian collection of a museum curator. It is beyond rare. Museum quality.
