Usability is a term used to denote the ease with which people can employ a particular tool or other human-made object in order to achieve a particular goal. Usability can also refer to the methods of measuring usability and the study of the principles behind an object's perceived efficiency or elegance. The field of usability is often felt to be related to user-centered design, interaction design and experience design.

Most abstract information spaces work poorly in 3D because they are non-physical. If anything, they have at least a hundred dimensions, so visualizing an information space in 3D means throwing away 97 dimensions instead of 98: hardly a big enough improvement to justify the added interface complexity.

It's hard to imagine a form that could be simpler: two fields, two buttons, and one link. Yet, it turns out this form was preventing customers from purchasing products from a major e-commerce site, to the tune of $300,000,000 a year. What was even worse: the designers of the site had no clue there was even a problem.

Fare Accessibilità significa avere delle conoscenze tecniche, avere dimestichezza con Standard e Raccomandazioni del W3C. Ma non solo. Significa conoscere il target dell´Accessibilità, erroneamente ed ingenuamente precluso ai soli disabili. Significa conoscere chi sono le persone disabili, che prima di essere disabili, sono Persone. Sono coloro che vivono sulla propria pelle ogni giorno le conseguenze di scelte strategiche sbagliate di coloro che hanno il potere, con un sì o con un no, di creare o abbattere le barriere tecnologiche che ostacolano il libero accesso alle informazioni ed ai servizi online.

Accentuate the Negative: Obtaining Effective Reviews Through Focused Questions
How you ask a question strongly determines the type of answer that you will obtain. For effective documentation reviews, whether they are conducted internally or externally as part of usability testing, it's important to use precise questions that will provide concrete information on which to base revisions. This paper proposes an approach to obtaining useful feedback that emphasizes negative, 'what did we do wrong?' questions. This approach focuses limited resources on areas that need improvement rather than areas that already work well and that don't require immediate improvement.

Access to Current and Next-Generation Information Systems by People with Disabilities
The purpose of this document is to provide information and resources for those interested in learning more about accessibility issues and current and next-generation information systems. The current focus of this document is on the National Information Infrastructure (NII), sometimes known as the 'information superhighway.' This document contains both information presented at a very introductory level and information which is more technical in nature. Wherever possible, all of the technical discussions are broken out and presented separately, so that readers may course through the material at a level which is comfortable to them, and which meets their information needs. This is a living document which will be continually revised and added to as more information is collected and as the efforts in the area of research, development, and public policy continue to evolve. The most recent form of this document can be found on the Internet via our ftp, gopher, or WWW servers. All of these are located at: trace.wisc.edu The document can be viewed on-line or downloaded in one of several forms to facilitate accessibility.

Accessibility Allies Against A11y
The idea of accessibility is to make websites (or other things) more easily usable by people, most frequently specifically "people who are disabled". This is emphatically not just about using alt tags (note: always call them tags, it annoys the purists). Accessibility is not just about the blind.

In trying to build accessible products, it is sometimes difficult to find key components. This is particularly true when building prototypes or coordinating small volume productions. This resource listing is provided to assist people in finding sources for key accessibility components such as accessible telephone handsets (for use on kiosks, etc.), voice technology products and other accessible components. It is maintained on an 'as we find it basis.' In other words, when we locate particular components or they are brought to our attention, we wll include them here.

Accessibility Meets Usability: A Plea for a Paramount and Concurrent User-Centered Design Approach to Electronic and Information Technology Accessibility for All
This paper identifies challenges for a user–centered design process with respect to infusing accessible design practices into electronic and information technology product development. Initially, it emphasizes that when user–centered design is paramount and concurrent with accessible design, electronic and information technology can be accessible for all. Next, it provides an overview of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Section 508. Last, it provides basic accessible design heuristics that can be integrated into the design process. It concludes with recommendations for a paramount and concurrent user–centered design approach to product development.

Accessibility has come a long way. Not only most public places but even many private areas now claim to be 'accessible'. However, this term usually implies that a person in a wheelchair is able to get to the inside of a venue. This is not enough. If I am using a wheelchair, I would like to be completely autonomous and move around freely. I don't want to have to go along a long dark corridor to use a service lift in order to get to another floor. Although I always appreciate it, I don't want to have to count on the generosity of passersby to help me open a door or push my wheelchair up a slope. My only wish is to blend in with other people, and enjoy life as much as anyone else.

Accommodating Mobility Impaired Users on the Web
Worldwide, there are more than 750 million people with disabilities and this number is increasing. It is critical that the Web be usable by anyone, regardless of individual capabilities and disabilities since the World Wide Web is supposed to be a place where everyone has the ability to find information or shop. Website designers should be sure that the web pages can be accessible by everyone no matter who or where. Accessibility, a category of usability, is a software product's ability to be used by people with disabilities, such as motion impairment.

Accountability of Accessibility and Usability
Focus on your users, all of them. Learn from mistakes currently made on the Web. If a user can't fill out a form, they can't buy anything from your site. People turned away by unusable sites will probably try a competitor's site. Don't be the site that turned people away. Make your Web site as usable and accessible as possible. It's the business savvy thing to do. It's the right thing to do. If you don't, someone just might force you legally to do it or threaten to sue.

Achieving and Balancing Consistency in User Interface Design
The Principle of Least Astonishment, in shorthand, encompasses what we, as designers, must achieve to ensure consistency in our designs. Consistency is a fundamental design principle for usable user interfaces. But the thing that astonishes me is that it's actually necessary to explain this principle. Surprise implies the unexpected. Of course, users want the response to a given action to be what they expect; otherwise, they would have done something else. In user interactions, the unexpected is pretty much the same as the unwanted. Surprise usually implies something bad rather than something positive—unless users already have such dismally low expectations of their software that they might think, Wow! It worked. I'm so astonished.

Achieving Usability Beyond ISO 9001
In the January issue, David Dick described how ISO standards 9241-11 and 13407 could be used to create standards and strategies for usability in the product life cycle. Another ISO standard that is an integral part of the product life cycle is called ISO 9001. ISO 9001:1994, 'Model for Quality Assurance in Design, Development, Production, Installation and Serving', specifies (quality system) requirements for achieving customer satisfaction by preventing non-conformity at all stages from design through servicing.

Prince William, Kate Middleton back together?
Rumours have it that Prince William and Kate Middleton are a couple again.
London: Britain's Prince William, second in line to the throne, has persuaded his long-time girlfriend Kate Middleton to get back together again 12 weeks after the couple split, the Sun newspaper said in Friday's edition.
Rumours that the couple, who met at university and at one stage were said to be on the verge of marriage, had decided to rekindle their relationship have been rife since she appeared on Sunday at a concert in honour of William's late mother Diana.
"William has persuaded Kate the problems of dating a future king are a price worth paying," the newspaper said, quoting a source.
"Only when they took a step back did they have space to examine how they really felt about each other," the source said. "They have now talked through their problems and are closer than ever."
A spokesman for the prince declined to comment on the report. "It is not something we are going to comment on at all, I am afraid," he said.
The couple ended their four-year relationship in April amid rumours that army officer cadet William did not want to get married yet and that the constant attention of photographers was taking its toll on their private life.
The Sun said the couple were expected to make the news public soon at a Polo match.

SAN JOSE -- There's something about Class A baseball that keeps bringing Lenn Sakata back to the San Jose Giants' dugout.
Specifically, it brings out the teacher in him.
"I like this level," said Sakata, who will begin his fourth stint as the Giants manager Thursday when the team opens its 2014 season at Rancho Cucamonga. "The kids are the most receptive and malleable at this level -- they're willing to come to the ballpark and work at it. The higher you go, the more difficult they become to work with."
Player development is perhaps the most important part of Sakata's job as manager of the San Francisco Giants' California League affiliate, and he's done quite a bit of that. He's also done quite a bit of winning in the process.
Sakata's 684 career victories are a Cal League record. Of those, 466 came in a San Jose uniform, a franchise mark.
In six previous seasons at San Jose's helm -- not all of them consecutively -- he has won a league-record three championships, in 2001, 2005 and 2007. Sakata also holds Cal League marks for playoff appearances (eight), playoff series won (10) and playoff games won (33).
"He's a winner, and a winner is who you want to play for," Giants pitcher Chris Stratton said.
Sakata attributes his success to the players he's had over the years as well as to the parent club's philosophy of instilling a winning mindset at baseball's lower levels.
"That's what you develop players for, is to win (at the major league level)," Sakata said. "Is that not as important as how you play individually? Players need to know how to play together to win and not treat (the minors) as an all-star showcase, because it's not."
From 2004-07, Sakata was a fixture in Municipal Stadium's dugout. He left after the 2007 season for a job in Japan as a field manager for a minor league affiliate of Nippon Professional Baseball's Chiba Lotte Marines.
"I would have killed myself if I'd turned it down," Sakata said. "Being a field manager over there is like being a farm director over here."
He returned stateside in 2011 and joined the Colorado Rockies farm system. That association ended when he was fired as Modesto Nuts manager in July 2013.
Now that he's back in orange and black, Sakata aims to help prospects advance to the majors by exceeding the parent club's expectations.
"The trick is to get guys on the radar screen," he said. "You do that by helping guys become overachievers."

Aidan O'Brien's Boldini edged out in Juvenile Turf thriller
Updated: Friday, 01 Nov 2013 22:09 | Comments
Outstrip, trained in Newmarket for Godolphin by Charlie Appleby and ridden by Mike Smith, narrowly beat Aidan O'Brien's Giovanni Boldini to win the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf at Santa Anita.
Bobby's Kitten set a blistering early pace and swung into the straight still with an advantage but with Ryan Moore and Giovanni Boldini in hot pursuit.
Dundalk winner Giovanni Boldini got the better of Bobby's Kitten, but Mike Smith was all the while winding Dewhurst third Outstrip up and once engaging top gear he mowed the front two down close home for a scintillating success.
Afterwards Ryan Moore said of Giovanni Boldini: "We had a good race and a good trip, saving ground. Maybe a little bit more experience would have helped him. I did see the winner coming and I wasn't surprised at that."
O'Brien also saddled the unplaced Wilshire Boulevard and his rider William Buick added: "He travelled in the ground and my plan was to follow Ryan but something came back at me on the bend and took me out of the race, otherwise I think I would have been in the first five."

Giants Staff Ranks Among Playoff Elite
Another playoff game against a formidable opponent, another shutout for the Giants pitching staff.
Rookie Madison Bumgarner yielded just three hits in eight innings against the Rangers on Sunday, helping the Giants win their fourth game by shutout in 14 games this October. That's an improvement even over the Giants' formidable pitching performance during the regular season, when their staff ranked second in the majors in fewest runs yielded per game. During the year the Giants had just 17 shutouts in 162 games.
San Francisco's staff could set a new record if it shuts down Texas bats one more time in the series. Only the 1998 Yankees and the 1905 Giants, back when New York was the franchise's home, have matched the Giants' total of four shutouts in a single postseason.
That 1905 performance was particularly remarkable because it came in a single series; the Giants shut out the A's in Games One, Three, Four and Five, with Christy Mathewson getting the complete-game win three of those times, and the A's shut out the Giants in Game Two. The teams' relief pitchers combined to work one inning in the series. It was, in many ways, a different baseball era.
In some ways, though, this season harkens back to those lower-scoring days, when NL teams averaged just 4.1 runs per game. Scoring overall this season averaged 4.4 runs per team per game, compared to 5.1 runs in 2000. The San Francisco pitchers' postseason run reflects both their prowess and the preeminence of fielding and defense this season, compared to the drug-fueled offensive era that appears to have passed.
To see how the game has evolved, I examined the postseason pitching records of the 32 World Series teams since baseball adopted its current playoff format in 1995. The Giants have given up 2.86 runs per game this postseason, making them the ninth World Series team to yield fewer than three runs per game. While all three of San Francisco's opponents scored at above-average rates this regular season, their weighted scoring average was lower than that of the offenses faced by any of the other eight teams. The Braves, in 1995, had a particularly tough route to their championship, facing offenses that scored an average of 5.54 runs per game (weighted by the number of games the Braves played against each opponent). That's 0.8 runs higher than the Giants' average opponent.
Overall, the Giants have held their opponents to 1.9 fewer runs per game than they averaged in the regular season, which is good but less of a reduction than all of the other eight teams that held opponents to under three runs per game. The Yankees staff, in particular, was lights out in the team's title runs in 1998 and 1999, holding opponents to 2.6 and 2.8 fewer runs per game, respectively, than they'd scored in the regular season. (The Rangers, whose pitchers had excelled until the first two games of the World Series, have nonetheless held opponents to a run under their regular-season average.) And more than their predecessors, the Giants' outstanding postseason record has been a continuation of, rather than a departure from, their regular-season performance. Among the teams, the Giants gave up by far the fewest runs per nine innings in the regular season, and so their improvement in the postseason was the smallest, at 0.7 fewer runs per nine innings.
The Giants' run prevention has been impressive but not outstanding this postseason because of some shaky performances. Teams have scored more than four runs against them as many times as they've been shut out — four. By contrast, the 2001 Arizona Diamondbacks, anchored by Randy Johnson and Curt Schilling, held teams to four or fewer runs in 16 of 17 games, and thus yielded the fewest runs per game of any World Series team since 1995, at 2.4, even though they had one fewer shutout than the Giants have this postseason.
San Francisco's pitching mark could get even better after Game Five, when Tim Lincecum — the two-time Cy Young Award winner who started the postseason with a shutout of Atlanta — takes the mound. It may need to, because Texas ace Cliff Lee will oppose him. In his postseason career, Lee by himself has been better than San Francisco's staff this October.

Actress Maura Tierney, currently earning rave reviews as wealthy businesswoman Maddie Hayward on ABC's The Good Wife (Although we'll always love her as Abby from ER!), recently spoke with SELF about one of her lesser known starring roles--her role as a spokesperson for Amgen's "Chemotherapy: Myths or Facts" campaign.
Tierney, who was diagnosed with and treated for breast cancer in 2009 (she is currently in remission), told us that by sharing her experience, she hopes to help newly diagnosed women navigate between truth and fiction during what's undoubtedly a scary and difficult time.
You got involved with this campaign because of your own journey with breast cancer. As you look back, what's the one thing you wish you had known?
Maura Tierney: I wish I knew how manageable the treatment actually could be. A lot of people told me that and I just didn't believe them. I worried that I would be so sick I wouldn't be able to get up, but for me this wasn't true. It's important for patients to talk to their doctors, ask as many questions as possible, and really understand what their treatment might entail. In addition to speaking to your doctor, the campaign website, chemomythsorfacts.com, is a great place to go for a list of credible resources and information on some of the myths and facts associated with chemotherapy.
SELF: How did you take charge after your cancer diagnosis?
MT: I asked a million questions. My family got involved, and I always had someone else present when I was speaking to my oncologist to take notes in case I forgot something. I just tried to get as much information as I possibly could.
SELF: What do you think is the number one myth surrounding chemotherapy?
MT: I think a lot of people believe that your lifestyle will have to be extremely altered while you undergo treatment. Things like, "You can't be around your family or loved ones," or "You can't be around your pets," or "You can't eat raw vegetables." Although this might be true for some people, it wasn't the case for me.
SELF: What's your all-time favorite food indulgence?
MT: I like all sorts of savory snacks; I'm not a sweets person. While I was undergoing chemotherapy, I ate healthily and was able to enjoy lots of fruits, vegetables and nuts. However, as everyone's situation is unique, it's important that patients speak with their doctors to get the facts.

I am interested in getting an Active Directory server setup on a linux (Ubuntu)
server. I currently just have a samba file server, ntp, and dns setup on this
server. I don't have any Windows 2k/XP servers here.
I have found many howtos and other docs on kerberos, ldap, and samba. However
my question is where to start. In theory, what I was looking for was a cookie
cutter solution to getting an Active Directory server setup on Unix. However
aside from that, I was wondering where I should start.
One more point of woe for me is that I don't have a FQDN. I was advised that I
could just make one on my dns and setup dhcp to make sure those hosts used my
dns and be fine with that. I was wondering if this is possible?
Also, though I have googled and have a bit more than a half dozen pages along
this topic bookmarked, any resources that anyone could recommend would be

The parents of an Afghanistan war veteran shot and killed in 2011 by a Farmington police officer are suing the officer, the town and the town's police chief for civil rights violations and wrongful death.
Officer Ryan Rosie shot and killed 28-year-old Justin Michael Crowley-Smilek on Nov. 19, 2011 in the parking lot of the Farmington police station. An investigation by the Maine Attorney General's Office showed that Crowley-Smilek came at Rosie with a 13-inch butcher knife and told the officer to shoot him.
Crowley-Smilek, who suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder relating to his war service, died of multiple gunshot wounds.
Crowley-Smilek's parents, Ruth E. Crowley and Michael Smilek, said their son went to the Farmington police station that day to ask for help.
Crowley and Smilek contend that Rosie "panicked" during the encounter with Crowley-Smilek and shot him numerous times, including once in the back when their son already was incapacitated.
They also claim that Rosie was not properly trained in the use of deadly force or to deal with people with mental illness.
Rosie, Police Chief Jack Peck and town officials have until Dec. 9 to file a response to the lawsuit in federal court in Portland.
The investigation by the Maine Attorney General's Office concluded that Rosie was justified in using deadly force to subdue Crowley-Smilek.

Lee DeWyze, Pink, Rihanna, Kid Rock lead heavy Nov. 16 new music release slate
As Black Friday approaches, expect a landslide of releases. This week alone, we have new sets from "American Idol" winner Lee DeWyze, Josh Groban, Kid Rock, Rihanna and Nelly, as well as holiday sets from the "Glee" cast and Annie Lennox. Plus, Bruce Springsteen's "The Promise" celebrates his masterpiece, "Darkness on the Edge of Town," 32 years after its initial release.
Lee DeWyze, "Live It Up" (19 Recordings): Season 9 "American Idol" winner explores different aspects of relationships on his post-"Idol" major label debut.
Jackie Evancho, "O Holy Night" (Syco/Columbia) "America's Got Talent" runner up showcases her preternaturally-evolved pipes on this CD/DVD combo featuring classical crossover tunes she performed on the show as well as a few holiday favorites.
Josh Groban, "Illuminations" (143/Reprise): Classical crossover pop sensation links with unlikely bedfellow Rick Rubin for his fifth album. Rubin pushed him to stretch his boundaries, but not break them in this mainly self-penned effort.
Kid Rock, "Born Free" (Atlantic/Top Dog): Rick Rubin chips in again here as Kid Rock follows up his 3.2 million-selling "Rock N Roll Jesus" with this Nashville-inflected effort that includes collaborations with Martina McBride, T.I. and others.
Annie Lennox, "A Christmas Cornucopia" (Decca): Silver-throated British singer interprets a number of holiday standards, as well as weighs in with her original composition, "Universal Child."
Nelly, "5.0" (Derrty/Universal Motown): After a bit of a career slip, Nelly returned with first single, "Just a Dream," his highest-charting hit in five years. Guests on "5.0" include Chris Brown, Plies, T.I., Akon, Kelly Roland and Keri Hilson.
Pink, "Greatest Hits...So Far!!!" (LaFace): Singer's best-of collection includes such hits as "Get the Party Started, " "Just Like a Pill," and "Trouble," as well as two new tunes, among them, new hit "Raise Your Glass."
Rascal Flatts, "Nothing Like This" (Big Machine): Country superstar trio takes flight on new label, Big Machine, but the song remains the same--more pop-influenced country with often catchy, upbeat melodies.
Rihanna, "Loud" (SRP/Def Jam): Ri-Ri has already scored two top 5 tunes, "What's My Name" and "Only Girl in the World," from her new upbeat set that seems to be a return to form after the dark "Rated R."
Bruce Springsteen, "The Promise: The Darkness on the Edge of Town Story" (Columbia): The 3 CD/3 DVD collection examines every facet of Springsteen's classic 1978 dark opus, including 21 never-before-released outtakes from the album, two live DVDs and a documentary about the making of the album.
Keith Urban, "Get Closer" (Capitol Nashville): Country star from the land down under's seventh studio album features artwork voted on by his fans, all of whom will surely want the deluxe version available through Target.
Various Artists, "Glee: The Music, The Christmas Album" (Columbia): The kids from New Directions take on the holidays in what is sure to be a blockbuster. The song selection rangers from the traditional, such as "Angels We Have Heard on High" to more recent classics, like "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch."

For T.S Eliot, April was the cruellest month. For employment lawyers it can be the busiest because of the plethora of new legislation and statutory instruments being introduced. This year is no different and today sees The Employment Act 2008 come into force, replacing the discredited Employment Act 2002 (Dispute Resolution) Regulations 2004. In The Wasteland, TS Eliot wrote "what are the roots that clutch, what branches grow out of this stony rubbish?". Admittedly Eliot was talking about the human condition and the moral and spiritual bankruptcy of modern society, rather than the 2004 regulations, but there is even so great resonance in those words for employment lawyers. Few people have had anything good to say about the rules and today they are abolished, replaced by a set of rules that are much less rigid but will give rise to other problems in the future.

Reviews for this vacation home rental in Acton, Maine

Maine Vacation
August 22, 2011
This was our second year at this location. A little disappointed in the appearance of the house. It wasn't cleaned when we arrived and the place is a bit run down. The stove had two burners out. Lights were out and the deck needs to be replaced. The location is beautiful and the people are nice but need to invest some funds in upkeep or this house is not going to make it. The lake is warm and inviting. We suggested to the owner that they may need to invest in a cleaning service. The people who left before us had vomited in the bathroom and left it there. For the price that we paid and the condition we left the house in, there should have been some concession on the owner's part.

Plenty of room for our family of 5. The kids really enjoyed the lake (so did we). Reasonable driving distance to stores and beaches (Old Orchard, Wells and Ogunquit), quiet street with friendly neighbourhood. We highly recommand this cottage for a great family getaway.

Great Summer Get Away
August 10, 2009
We loved the cottage and the lake. The cabin is very roomy. The deck was a favorite spot and the site of most of our meals. We were blessed with sunny weather. We had all the conveniences one would want at a cottage: cable t.v., wi-fi, dishwasher, gas grill, and a great dock. The camp roads made for wonderful walks with our dog. The lake is quiet during the week, yet active enough to be interesting. The lake is small and well marked; it didn't take long to learn our way around. While some might find the small size limiting, it would be great for parents who want their children to be out boating but like to keep an eye out to be sure they're safe. We will definitely make a return visit next year. We highly recommend the cottage if you want a place to kick back and relax for a week. The Galarneaus

House is very nice and spacious, very easy to get to and very quiet and private,..the week was rainy so were unable to enjoy the deck overlooking the water as often as we would have liked,..the steps walking down to the dock became very slippery due to the rain...the lake was very organized for boaters...even though their was a large number of boats docked, we seemed to have the whole lake to ourselves at times,...residents on the lake are friendly and offer advice, very beutiful scenery,...

Facebook Restricts Ads on Controversial Sites
In the wake of protests over violent content on its site Facebook announced on Friday that it will remove ads on pages or groups that contain "any violent, graphic or sexual content."
Starting Monday, Facebook will review pages for controversial content. While this content may not technically violate Facebook's community standards policy, if the company marks it as offensive, it will not serve ads from brands on the right-hand column of these pages.
Previously, Facebook said, advertisers selling "adult" products were able to buy ads on these pages.
"While we already have rigorous review and removal policies for content against our terms, we recognize we need to do more to prevent situations where ads are displayed alongside controversial Pages and Groups," the company said in its post.
At First, Facebook will review sites by hand. However, there are plans to create a "more scalable, automated way to prevent and/or remove ads appearing next to controversial content." The company said it does not believe the changes will have a large impact on Facebook's business.
Facebook has recently faced protests from women's rights groups who said that ads were appearing on pages and groups or promoted violence against women.
In late May, Facebook said it was reviewing its policies to identify and remove hate speech, especially on gender issues. It also said it was requiring publishers of "cruel or insensitive" remarks to authenticate their identity in order for the content to remain on Facebook.

DU joins hundreds at Farm Bill rally
Ducks Unlimited joined approximately 500 farmers, ranchers and agriculture leaders from across the nation in Washington, D.C., this week for a "Farm Bill Now" rally.
Marchers called for Congress to pass a
five-year Farm Bill
before it's set to expire on Sept. 30. The bill has already passed the Senate and the House Agriculture Committee with bipartisan support.
Now, the House of Representatives must make wetlands and waterfowl a priority by calling a vote.
The "Farm Bill Now" Coalition said the bill's name implies it impacts only farmers, when it actually includes provisions for jobs, energy, conservation, food, research and more. According to the USDA, one in every 12 American jobs is tied back to U.S. farms.
Among the provisions in the Farm Bill affecting conservation, Ducks Unlimited has three main initiatives:
1. Effective wetland protections through
re-coupling conservation compliance with crop insurance
2. A national
program to help slow the loss of native prairie; and
3. No more than $6 billion in funding cuts to important conservation programs.
"The value of agricultural conservation programs has never been easier to see," said Becky Humphries, director of DU's Great Lakes/Atlantic Region. "The Conservation Reserve Program, designed to hold land out of tillage, is providing emergency haying and grazing for our nation's cattle farmers right now. Without programs to support such actions we could have seen even more tragic results than we already have from this summer's drought."
The diverse coalition membership includes the nation's two largest farm groups, the American Farm Bureau Federation and the National Farmers Unions.

Richard Harries the fund-raising committee's Press Officer, says:
"We have a professional looking stand which includes tables and a sort of tent roof. We usually bring bric a brac and other second hand items for sale, RNLI official souvenirs and have a sort of raffle type thing that we call the 'naffle'.
We would hope to come as guests and not pay any large fees if possible, as we obviously are trying to raise money. Also, hopefully our attendance will be seen as an attraction . We attend wearing RNLI jumpers and badges and look professional and have leaflets and lots of information about the Lifeboats."
Richard can be contacted on e-mail email@example.com and telephone number 01964 614602.
