Last summer Meagan and I had a chance to hang out for a couple days and she shared with me a top secret sneak peek at her new book The Happiest Mom. Earlier this year we roomed together in Grand Rapids and could have easily stayed up all night yapping away. (Actually I think we probably did.) And then we ordered room service for breakfast and gabbed until check out.
I'm so excited to see her again in New Orleans this weekend for Mom 2.0 and Meagan is also a featured speaker in my Listen To Your Mother show. Whew.
So, now that you have some sort of introduction, I'd like to share a little Q&A about Meagan to celebrate the launch of The Happiest Mom. (Available in book stores and online now!)
Me: Have you always been a happy, glass-half-full kind of person or is it something that you had to work on?
Meagan: Except for a melancholy phase in Junior High, I've always been an optimist. But actually, the optimist in me can sometimes lead to overestimating what I can pull off and has led to a lot of motherhood angst. After all, just because it's possible that I could juggle a heavy work load, keeping up our home, and raising good kids all at once doesn't mean it's healthy to actually try to do it all at once. I have to continuously reign myself in so that my optimism doesn't get in the way of common sense and lead to burnout.
And of course, I've struggled with sadness and down feelings just like everyone else, particularly during the year after my second child was born. I have always known that I'd rather be happy, though, and have tried to choose happiness whenever I can.
Me: I know you use a more attachment parenting approach while at the same time hating the label. How does your parenting style make you the happiest mom?
Meagan: I think the parts of attachment parenting that work for me also make me happy because they feel right. For example, I knew from the moment I brought my first son home from the hospital that there was no way I could put him in a crib to sleep. It just felt foreign to me. That doesn't mean co-sleeping is all sunshine and roses, but then, neither is crib-sleeping. I chose the style that worked for us fully knowing that there would be some obstacles along the way.
Same thing with extended nursing. It's not like I get up every day and sing "I can't wait to nurse my hair-pulling two-year-old today!" In fact, sometimes I want to duct-tape her arms to her sides (oh wait, did I say that out loud?)
But overall, I am happy with my decisions because I know they come from somewhere deep inside me, and feel really right--not like what somebody else thinks is right.
Me: How does it make you crazy. (Oh, is that just me?) :)
Meagan: Heh...well, in addition to feet in my face at night occasionally and the hair-pulling-while-nursing thing, I think there's this expectation that if you choose a parenting style outside the mainstream, you aren't ever allowed to complain about it. I mean, just because I've chosen something and am overall happy with it doesn't mean there aren't days I wish I could just put my kid in a crib at 7:00 and be done for the night the way a lot of my friends are able to. I just tell myself, I can always change thing up if I need to, or if the feeling lasts. For example, I've been feeling pretty frustrated with nursing Clara for a month or so, mostly because I think night-nursing is getting in the way of either of us getting a good night's sleep. So I am working on making changes. It's not like once you've made some counter-cultural choice that's it, you're locked in. The beauty of motherhood is that you can really make it your own. Wait, did I answer the question?
Me: What is the first thing to come to your mind that has you thinking I wish someone had told me... ?
Meagan: I wish somebody had told me that I was the right mom for my kids. That I didn't have to mold myself into somebody else. That most of what I needed to know about being a mom was inside me the whole time.
Me: I tend to be disappointed by (what I see as) failures instead of the really awesome mom moments. I think we all should brag a little more about times we rock this motherhood. Can you share something you think you've done well as a mom, something you're proud of?
Meagan: You are so right. One thing I think I am really excellent at in general is apologizing, admitting I'm wrong and starting over--especially since I came from a family where parents would never ever apologize to their kids or admit failure or wrongness in any way. It takes guts to do it and it hasn't always come easily! I used to really dig in my heels to try to assert my authority and "rightness." But you know, I mess up too, and I think it's a great gift to show my kids that adults aren't perfect and that when you screw up, the loving adult thing to do is to apologize and ask for a do-over.
Me: Just for fun, what was your favorite baby carrier during your babywearing days?
Meagan: I always loved a simple unpadded ring or pouch sling (like the Maya wrap or pouch) when they were little, and graduated to an Ergo by the time they were four or five months old because I felt like it gave me more freedom of movement. Oh, how I loved that Ergo!
Get to know (and grow to love) Meagan even more at her blog thehappiestmom.com.
Win! I've got two copies of The Happiest Mom to giveaway. It would be awesome if you'd like The Happiest Mom on Facebook and leave a comment here to enter (but really, only a comment here is necessary to win!) Two comments will be chosen at random next Tuesday night after 11:59 PM.

Baby Mattress Pads, Vinyl-Free
$44.99Out of Stock
Made in USA:We work with many small, family businesses manufacturing products in the USA. Support for these businesses help strengthen our regional economy and generally offer a lighter footprint for products that would otherwise be sourced overseas.
Non-Toxic:Products for our infants, children and families should not contain toxic chemicals such as BPA, PVC (vinyl), phthalates, lead, cadmium or synthetic fragrances. The reality is, many products brought into our homes do contain toxins we can avoid. Our collection of healthier product alternatives are the safest and best product options we have found.
Sustainable:A healthy planet ensures the future health of our children. While every product we carry is non-toxic, many are also made in whole or in part with recycled (or recyclable) parts and/or components, derived from sustainably harvested forests and may be biodegradable. Most importantly, we prefer products that are reusable first, replacing use and toss items.
Ethics:To recognize the companies that choose to go above and beyond, look for our Ethics standard. These companies exceed our safety and environmental standards, as well as commit to responsible, respectful fair labour, and human rights practices. These companies may also make an outstanding effort to give back to both local and extended communities. Their stories are nothing short of extraordinary.
Family Basics:Families quickly accumulate excess 'stuff' when a baby first appears on the scene. Apart from a lot of love, healthy food, appropriate clothing, and a safe place to sleep, there really isn't all that much our little ones need (despite the many Must Have lists out there!). Spend your money wisely on products or playthings that are proven to be the most useful necessities, or have extended play value beyond the first few years.
Practical:We hold our products to the highest standards while also considering the convenience and functionality of each and every one. After much testing by the most worthy individuals (real parents!), these products get a thumbs-up for being the best of the best - practically speaking, of course.
Good Value:Quality, long-lasting, reusable and multi-use items are high on our list of criteria for products that meet our Good Value standard. Often times this will mean a product will help you save money over the long term, either by replacing use-and-toss items or by offering more than one use which extends the life of the product well into the future.

Can you define these popular missing words?
What happens after a frater has imbibed both a large quantity of alcohol and spicy food in the same evening. After said individual has passed out, the ferocious amount of feces which is launched into his pants while unconcious is both sickening and amazing. This is called a BigMac Attack.
Dude, I drank 18 beers and a bottle of Jaeger at the ChiliFest. I woke up in a field and must have had a BigMac Attack, because my pants were filled with crap and I had lesions on my cheeks.

I've seen a lot of history here.
A lot of state championships have been won on this end of Berkeley County in a lot of different sports.
In five years I've covered three football state championships, a basketball championship, watched Leanna Morrison win almost as many state championships in track as she has fingers, saw Jalen Frazier take home three high jump titles and Bernard Harmon make Timberland history by winning the first wrestling championship in the school's history.
The Cross Trojans joined Berkeley and Timberland in passing out state championship rings last week, bringing home the first state championship in the school's and community's history.
When you see communities like Cross rise up to the challenge when the majority of school district money goes to other places, when you hear an A.D. say he had to almost beg the district to give his athletics department a trainer, you start to cheer for the little guys.
There's not a lot of money available out here in the sticks and it makes you wonder about the fairness.
I know life isn't fair and I'm not to hear preach.
The Cross Trojans did what no other Berkeley County team was able to do and they did it with 31 eligible players. That's half of Timberland and Berkeley's roster and a third of Goose Creek and Stratford's. Shaun Wright said his team wasn't the most talented team on the field but they had the most heart.
This team featured six All-State players and will bring back an offensive triple threat in the Evans twins and Devontae Shepherd. There is nothing to say they won't do it again.
This state championship was a shot in the arm for the entire Cross community. I saw Trojans' fans of all ages, young and old, some in strollers and others with walkers. Grandbabies and grandparents, this state championship belongs to every person that calls Cross home.
I saw the same thing when Berkeley won in 2009, but while Moncks Corner reveled in their most recent state championship, the town's fifth in football, there's something about a town winning its first. The Cross community needed this championship.
Times are tough and nowhere in Berkeley County are the economic hardships felt more than up in Cross. This is a community where jobs are hard to come by, where money is tight. It needed something to cheer about and to win.
For once the little guy won. And I applaud that.
As much as I am a Berkeley and Timberland fan, I am just as big a Cross fan.
I don't just cover the sports of these three schools, I root them on. It's us against them when we line up on opposite sidelines. I'm an unashamed and proud homer.
When it comes to sports and my teams, I root for the home guys.
And when Berkeley plays Timberland or Cross plays Timberland, I experience a conundrum and ultimately wind up rooting for guys (or ladies) who need the win most.
This year it's the Cross Trojans' turn, and I was just as happy for those 31 guys standing up there as their mommas and daddies. And I can't wait to see what they do next year.

Sunday, October 13, 2013
Thank god for the sun peeping thorugh this week. Like everything on my back porch, I felt swampy and moldy. I cautiously opened the patio storage door, standing back to avoid the escape of whatever the heck I had accidentally locked up in it since last November. I imagined Palmetto bugs mastisizing on the half empty bag of fertiler I left crumpled in the corner. When nothing lurched at me, I gingerly poked my way around before entering. Spider legs tell me that something larger than that, but smaller than I, claimed squatter's rights over the winter. I start looking up, not a natural reaction for most, unless you, like I, have fought a bat off in a closed room.
Jerking the lawn chair out, I swat at the webs with the broom. Next, my tackle box. I take it out and pet its handle. I clicked open the clasp, too late now. Neatly binned neon glowing worms, translucent crickets, minnows and spinners, line, lead sinkers, corks, bottle caps and faded fishing licenses, all reminders of creek/river and oceans of days past. I close the lid quickly when I feel the urge climb in me. "Soon." I promise the clam shelled box.
Not many people are brave enough to endure fishing trips with me, Don included. He is fine as long as we have a lot of space. I have snagged on darn near everything you can imagine - trees, sunken logs, turtles, eels, myself and midgets. Yes, you heard right. I don't make this stuff up, it just happens.
My first trip was with a friend and her grandmother when I was 9. I was on what I think was the Gippy Plantation in Moncks Corner. It was a reedy inlet off of the Cooper River across from Mepkin Abbey. Anyway, I no sooner got a worm in the water than my pole doubled. When I pulled it up. My prize? A fish head, minus the body. The remainder of the fish that stared blankly up at me was caught by a larger fish.
No fisherman wants me in their boat, unless it's big. I don't have to tell fish stories. They are always big. They are as much about what happens out of the water as they are what happened on the water.
Here are a couple of excursions. The catfish story. One Saturday morning years ago, Don and I packed the car: kids, cooler, rods and reels and tackleboxes. We headed for the soupy yellow waters of the Yadkin River. The Yadkin is known for it's big catfish and I had just the thing for them, a shiny brand new rod and reel. I cast in, sat for a bit and then remembered I left something in the car. While climbing the steep banks of the river a fish hit my line. The fish had taken off into the deep, dragging my new rod and reel with it. I was speechless, Don wasn't. "You know you have to brace that rod with something." Now I am grumpy. I sat on the bank and watched the kids gathering tadpoles. One felt sorry for me and let me use their Spiderman Zebco 202 for a bit. A little later Don went to the store and left me his rod to fish with. He didn't pull out good before I got a big bite. After I set the hook the rod bowed. I pulled and pulled and couldn't believe what came up. Don's fish, which snagged on my new rod and reel and still had my fish on the end of it's line. Woo Hoo.
Exhausted when we pulled into our drive, sweaty children covered in red clay and tired parents clamored from the car, leaving fishing rods hanging out the cracked windows of the car. After showers and naps we decided to go get something to eat. I froze in my tracks when I walked out onto the steps to leave, unable to process what I was seeing. Blood curdling tween screams brought me back, there was a cat spinning in the air two feet off the ground with a hook in his mouth. I guess he got a whiff of the remnants of bait left on the hook and jumped up for a bite.
We took the stray cat, rod and all to the emergency vet. They removed the hook, gave us the rod and reel back and charged us $200. Now we have a new cat. Ugly as sin itself, we named him Gremlin. Hence, I caught my third cat of the day. The Midget Story. Gliding along a calm North Carolina lake for the christening of our pontoon boat, I was in heaven. My favorite thing on the boat at the moment was the fish finder. Don explained it to me, "It beeps if fish are beneath us and shows their location, quantity and size."
After a little cruising, Don pulled the pontoon up to the dock. He jumped onto the dock and headed across the parking lot to his truck to get something. I am now the "Skipper" of the boat. Well, the fish finder went off, beeping like crazy. I sauntered over to look. OMG, it was displaying a huge frigging fish at the back of the boat. I scurry to the back of the boat, the line we had been trolling from the back of the boat is bowing. Heart racing, I pick up the rod. I can't even budge whatever is on the other end. Then, all hell broke loose under the edge of the boat. Banging, thrashing foamy water, and just as quick as it started, it stopped. Like that quiet moment in a scary movie, where you think calm is restored I took a big breath. Then, the climatic moment, like a righted buoy a bald little head shot out of the water gasping for air. A midget surfaced in a small kayak! Jesus help me, I have caught a midget! Wild eyes looked up at me. I didn't see a line hooked to him, it was then I realized that he wasn't on my line, Thank God, just the kayak. The midget caught his breath as he helped me unwind and untangle the line around the front of his kayak. He told me that he was a novice kayaker and wanted to practice rolling his kayak in shallow water, he didn't realize he had slipped under the pontoon. He floated off as Don returned to the boat. And weirdly quick, the world was normal again.
Author's note: I used the term midget only for simplicity in grammar as opposed to "little people" and suggest no disrespet. If you insert "Little people" where I have the word midget you could see where it doesn't structure well. Visit Renae Brabham at www.renaebrabham.com.

Laundry doesn't necessarily make me happy, but having Ivy as my little helper does. She always always puts pants around her shoulders and her brother's underwear on her head and around her arms. She finds the leg holes of the underwear and thinks it's a bracelet or something. Where did she get this?
It makes me so happy.
Later in the day we rest in bed and I nurse her to sleep. It's that warm, gentle shut of her eye lashes, damp curls at the nape of her neck, soft hand clutching my finger, my hair, my shirt. I give her my everything and she takes it and is safe.
I marvel at her beauty, at her personality even when she sleeps.
This is one of the happiest moments I live daily.
It is too dark now to get a good picture of all my boys and girl. Also, they won't stay still for even for a moment,
but I catch their feet.
Happy, happy, happy, happy.
The end.

For the second time in less than 24 hours, the Stetson volleyball team triumphed in five sets, posting a 3-2 victory over visiting Jacksonville Saturday afternoon at the Edmunds Center.
The Hatters (10-5, 2-0 Atlantic Sun) took the deciding set 15-12 to win for the ninth time in their last 11 games and stay undefeated in conference play. The Dolphins (10-2, 1-1 A-Sun) suffered just their second loss of the season.
Stetson won the first two sets by identical 25-23 scores, but the Dolphins rallied with 25-14 and 25-21 victories in sets three and four to even the match 2-2.
In the decisive fifth set, the Hatters led 8-5 at the changeover, but after the Dolphins forced a tie at 12-12, Stetson head coach Tim Loesch called timeout.
"I had a couple of things to say to the girls, but it was the same old thing that I always tell them," Loesch said. "Maybe that helped a little bit. A couple of the players and captains stepped up and said things that are very meaningful to our girls - what we are all about and we want to play for each other and do our part."
With the Dolphins serving out of the timeout, Cailyn Prewitt took a pass from Kayla Weller and spiked down a tiebreaking kill that would give Stetson the lead for good.
"Mel just said she was going to call the ball as loud as she could to try to split the blockers for me," Prewitt said. "Kayla just gave me a perfect set and I went up and banged the ball."
Michelle Kastner then served for the Hatters, and Ellen Hawks slammed home an overpass right at the net to give Stetson a 14-12 lead.
Kastner's next serve dipped quickly and found the court for a game-winning ace.
"I knew right when (coach) Meghan gave me that serve I told myself I was going to get the winning ace right there for my team," Kastner said. "We came through and I was so proud of our team."
"I am really proud of the girls for bouncing back," Loesch said. "We got off to a good start and won a couple close games. JU was very determined and they fought back. They posed some challenges to us but our girls stuck together in adversity, and executed our gameplan under a lot of pressure, and I am just really proud of them."
Kaley Melville led the team with 17 kills, but it was her eighth and final dig of the match that put her at the 1000-dig mark for her career. She became just the fifth player in school history to record 1000 kills and 1000 digs in a career.
Tiffany Creamer tallied 14 kills and Prewitt added 10 to join in the offensive effort. Kayla Weller collected a double-double of 45 assists and 12 digs. Kastner and Julie Bassett also reached double-digit dig totals.
Ellen Hawks added eight kills and six blocks. Evann Dickerson and Weller each served two aces. The Hatters recorded 12 blocks as a team and hit .191 for the match.
"It was really a team effort, from the girls screaming on the sidelines, to our substitutes who came in and executed their roles, to our starters who had to do it for two hours-plus today, and were able to do it at the end of the game," Loesch said.
Stetson will visit Bethune-Cookman at 7 p.m. Tuesday night at Moore Gym in Daytona Beach.
Notes: The Hatters are 2-0 in the A-Sun for the first time since 2007 ... Stetson is off to its best start since 1996 ... Kaley Melville finished the weekend with 45 kills ... Stetson's other 1000-kill, 1000-dig performers are Cristy Hoffman (1985-88), Melissa Roy (1994-97), Kira Smedley (2001-04), and DeeAnn Dempsey (2002-05).

Agronomy — Instructions for Authors
Please use the MS Word template or LaTeX template to prepare your paper.
Submission Checklist
- Please
1) read the Aims & Scope to gain an overview and assess if your manuscript is suitable for this journal;
2) use the Microsoft Word template or LaTeX template to prepare your manuscript;
3) make sure that issues about publication ethics, research ethics, copyright, authorship, figure formats, and references format have been appropriately considered; and
4) ensure that all authors have approved the content of the submitted manuscript.
Manuscript Submission Overview
Types of Publications
Agronomy has no restrictions on the length of manuscripts, provided that the text is concise and comprehensive. Full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced by other groups. Agronomy encourages authors to publish all experimental controls and full datasets as supplementary files (please read the guidelines about Supplementary Materials carefully and references to unpublished data).
The different types of articles published in Agronomy are indicated in the first section of the Aims & Scope. The main types are:
- Articles: research manuscripts report new evidence or new conclusions which have neither been published before nor are under consideration for publication in another journal. MDPI considers all original research manuscripts provided that the work reports scientifically sound experiments and provides a substantial amount of new information. We strongly recommend authors not to unnecessarily divide their work into several related manuscripts.
- Short communications of preliminary, but significant, results will also be considered.
- Reviews: review manuscripts provide concise and precise updates on the latest progress made in a given area of research.
- Conference Papers: Expanded and high quality conference papers are also considered in Agronomy if they fulfill the following requirements: (1) the paper should be expanded to the size of a research article; (2) the conference paper should be cited and noted on the first page of the paper; (3) if the authors do not hold the copyright to the published conference paper, authors should seek the appropriate permission from the copyright holder; (4) authors are asked to disclose that it is conference paper in their cover letter and include a statement on what has been changed compared to the original conference paper.
Submission Process
Manuscripts for Agronomy should be submitted online at susy.mdpi.com. The submitting author, who is generally the corresponding author, is responsible for the manuscript during the submission and peer-review process. The submitting authors must ensure that all co-authors have been included in the author list (read the criteria to qualify for authorship) and that they all have read and approved the submitted version of the manuscript. To submit your manuscript, register and log in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form for Agronomy. All co-authors can see the manuscript details in the submission system, if they register and log in using the e-mail address provided during manuscript submission.
Accepted File Formats
Authors must use the Microsoft Word template or LaTeX template to prepare their manuscript. Using the template file will substantially shorten the time to complete copy-editing and publication of accepted manuscripts. Accepted file formats are:
- Microsoft Word: Manuscripts prepared in Microsoft Word must be converted into a single file before submission. When preparing manuscripts in Microsoft Word, the Agronomy Microsoft Word template file must be used. Please insert your graphics (schemes, figures, etc.) in the main text after the paragraph of its first citation.
- LaTeX: Manuscripts prepared in LaTeX must be collated into one ZIP folder (include all source files and images, so that the Editorial Office can recompile the submitted PDF). When preparing manuscripts in LaTeX, please use the Agronomy LaTeX template files. You can now also use the online application writeLaTeX to submit articles directly to Agronomy. The MDPI LaTeX template file should be selected from the writeLaTeX template gallery.
Cover Letter
A cover letter must be included with each manuscript submission. It should be concise and explain why the content of your paper is significant, placing your findings in the context of existing work and why it fits the scope of the journal. Please confirm that neither the manuscript nor any parts of its content are currently under consideration or published in another journal. Any prior submissions of the manuscript to MDPI journals must be acknowledged. The names of proposed and excluded reviewers should be provided in the submission system, not in the cover letter.
Note for Authors Funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH)
The editors of this journal are able to deposit papers to the NIH Manuscript Submission System (NIHMS, http://nihms.nih.gov/) on your behalf. If you are funded by NIH, please request this service from our editors after acceptance of your paper.
Preparation of a Manuscript
General Considerations
- Research manuscripts should comprise:
- Front matter: Title, Author list, Affiliations, Abstract, Keywords
- Research manuscript sections: Introduction, Results, Discussion, Experimental Section, Conclusions (optional), Supplementary Materials
- Back matter: Acknowledgments, Author Contributions, Conflicts of Interests, References.
- Review manuscripts should comprise the front matter, literature review sections and the back matter. The template file can also be used to prepare the front and back matter of your review manuscript. It is not necessary to follow the remaining structure.
- Abstract Graphic: Authors are encouraged to provide a graphical abstract as a self-explanatory image to appear alongside with the text abstract in the Table of Contents, if you have not done so already. Figures should be a high quality image in any common image format. Note that images displayed online will be up to 11 by 9 cm on screen and the figure should be clear at this size.
- "Data not shown" should be avoided in research manuscripts. We encourage our authors to publish all observations related to the submitted manuscript as Supplementary Materials. "Unpublished data" intended for publication in a different manuscript, i.e., in a manuscript that is either planned, "in preparation" or that have been "submitted" but not yet accepted, should be cited in the text and a reference should be added in the References section. "Personal Communications" should also be cited in the text and reference added in the References section. (see also the MDPI reference list and citations style guide).
- Abbreviations should be defined in parentheses the first time they appear in the abstract, main text and in figure captions.
- SI Units (International System of Units) should be used for this journal. Imperial, US customary and other units should be converted to SI units whenever possible before submission of a manuscript to the journal.
- Accession numbers of RNA, DNA and protein sequences used in the manuscript should be provided in the Experimental Section section. Please also read the Guidelines for Deposition of Sequences and of Expression Data
- Equations: If you are using Word, please use either the Microsoft Equation Editor or the MathType add-on in your paper. Equations should be editable by the editorial office and not appear in a picture format.
- Supplementary Materials and Research Data: To maintain the transparency and reproducibility of research results, authors are encouraged to make their experimental and research data openly available either by depositing into data repositories or by publishing the data and files as "Supplementary Materials". Large datasets and files should be deposited in specialized data repositories. Small datasets, spreadsheets, images, video sequences, conference slides, software source code, etc. can be uploaded as "Supplementary Files" during the manuscript submission process. The supplementary files will also be made available to the referees during the peer-review process and be published online alongside the manuscript. Please read the information about Supplementary Materials and Data Deposit for additional guidelines.
Front Matter
These sections should appear in all manuscript types
- Title: The title of your manuscript should be concise, specific and relevant. When gene or protein names are included, the abbreviated name rather than full name should be used.
- Author List and Affiliations: Authors' full first and last names must be provided. The initials of any middle names can be added. The PubMed/MEDLINE standard format is used for affiliations: complete address information including city, zip code, state/province, country, and all email addresses. At least one author should be designated as corresponding author, and his or her email address and other details should be included at the end of the affiliation section. Please read the criteria to qualify for authorship.
- Abstract: The abstract should be a total of about 200 words maximum. The abstract should be a single paragraph and should follow the style of structured abstracts, but without headings: 1) Background: Place the question addressed in a broad context and highlight the purpose of the study; 2) Methods: Describe briefly the main methods or treatments applied; 3) Results: Summarize the article's main findings; and 4) Conclusion: Indicate the main conclusions or interpretations. The abstract should be an objective representation of the article: it must not contain results which are not presented and substantiated in the main text and should not exaggerate the main conclusions.
- Keywords: Three to ten pertinent keywords need to be added after the abstract. We recommend that the keywords are specific to the article, yet reasonably common within the subject discipline.
Research Manuscript Sections
- Introduction: The introduction should briefly place the study in a broad context and highlight why it is important. It should define the purpose of the work and its significance. The current state of the research field should be reviewed carefully and key publications should be cited. Please highlight controversial and diverging hypotheses when necessary. Finally, briefly mention the main aim of the work and highlight the main conclusions. As far as possible, please keep the introduction comprehensible to scientists outside your particular field of research.
- Results: This section may be divided by subheadings. It should provide a concise and precise description of the experimental results, their interpretation as well as the experimental conclusions that can be drawn.
- Discussion: This section may be divided by subheadings. Authors should discuss the results and how they can be interpreted in perspective of previous studies and of the working hypotheses. The findings and their implications should be discussed in the broadest context possible. Future research directions may also be highlighted.
- Experimental Section: This section should be divided by subheadings. Materials and Methods should be described with sufficient details to allow others to replicate and build on published results. Please note that publication of your manuscript implies that you must make all materials, data, and protocols associated with the publication available to readers.

Those who contributed to the work but do not qualify for authorship should be listed in the acknowledgments. More detailed guidance on authorship is given by the International Council of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE). The journal also adheres to the standards of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) that "all authors should agree to be listed and should approve the submitted and accepted versions of the publication. Any change to the author list should be approved by all authors including any who have been removed from the list. The corresponding author should act as a point of contact between the editor and the other authors and should keep co-authors informed and involve them in major decisions about the publication (e.g. answering reviewers' comments)."

Research Involving Plants
Experimental research on plants (either cultivated or wild) including collection of plant material, must comply with institutional, national, or international guidelines. We recommend that authors comply with the Convention on Biological Diversity and the Convention on the Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora.
For each submitted manuscript supporting genetic information and origin must be provided. For research manuscripts involving rare and non-model plants (other than, e.g., Arabidopsis thaliana, Nicotiana benthamiana, Oriza sativa, or many other typical model plants), voucher specimens must be deposited in an accessible herbarium or museum. Vouchers may be requested for review by future investigators to verify the identity of the material used in the study (especially if taxonomic rearrangements occur in the future). They should include details of the populations sampled on the site of collection (GPS coordinates), date of collection, and document the part(s) used in the study where appropriate. For rare, threatened or endangered species this can be waived but it is necessary for the author to describe this in the cover letter.
Editors reserve the rights to reject any submission that does not meet these requirements.
An example of Ethical Statements:
Torenia fournieri plants were used in this study. White-flowered Crown White (CrW) and violet-flowered Crown Violet (CrV) cultivars selected from 'Crown Mix' (XXX Company, City, Country) were kindly provided by Dr. XXX (XXX Institute, City, Country).
Arabidopis mutant lines (SALKxxxx, SAILxxxx,…) were kindly provided by Dr. XXX , institute, city, country).
Potential Conflicts of Interest
It is the authors' responsibility to identify and declare any personal circumstances or interests that may be perceived as inappropriately influencing the representation or interpretation of clinical research. If there is no conflict, please state here "The authors declare no conflict of interest." This should be conveyed in a separate "Conflicts of Interest" section preceding the "References" sections at the end of the manuscript.
Editorial Procedures and Peer-Review
Initial Checks
All submitted manuscripts received by the Editorial Office will be checked by a professional in-house Managing Editor to determine whether it is properly prepared and whether the manuscript follows the ethical policies of the journal, including those for human and animal experimentation. Manuscripts that do not fit the journals ethical policy will be rejected before peer-review. Manuscripts that are not properly prepared will be returned to the authors for revision and resubmission. After these checks, the Managing Editor will consult the journals' Editor-in-Chief or the Guest Editor (or an Editorial Board member in case of a conflict of interest) to determine whether the manuscript fits the scope of the journal and whether it is scientifically sound. No judgment on the significance or potential impact of the work will be made at this stage. Reject decisions at this stage will be verified by the Editor-in-Chief.
Once a manuscript passes the initial checks, it will be assigned to at least two independent experts for peer-review. A single-blind review is applied, where authors' identities are known to reviewers. Peer review comments are confidential and will only be disclosed with the express agreement of the reviewer.
In the case of regular submissions, in-house assistant editors will invite experts, including recommendations by an academic editor.
These experts may also include Editorial Board members and Guest Editors of the journal.
In the case of a special issue, the Guest Editor will advise in the selection of reviewers.
Potential reviewers suggested by the authors may also be considered. Reviewers should not have published with any of the co-authors during the past five years and should not currently work or collaborate with one of the institutes of the co-authors of the submitted manuscript.
Editorial Decision and Revision
Based on the comments and advice of the peer-reviewers, an external editor – usually the Editor-in-Chief or a Guest Editor – will make a decision to accept, reject, or to ask authors to revise the manuscript.
For Minor Revisions the authors will have one week to resubmit their revised manuscript. For Major Revisions the authors will have two weeks to resubmit their revised manuscript. However, authors should contact the editorial office if extended revision time is anticipated.
Author Appeals
Authors may appeal a rejection by sending an e-mail to the Editorial Office of the journal. The appeal must provide a detailed justification, including point-by-point responses to the reviewers' and/or Editor's comments. The Managing Editor of the journal will forward the manuscript and relating information (including the identities of the referees) to an Editorial Board member who was not involved in the initial decision-making process. If no appropriate Editorial Board member is available, the editor will identify a suitable external scientist. The Editorial Board member will be asked to give an advisory recommendation on the manuscript and may recommend acceptance, further peer-review, or uphold the original rejection decision. A reject decision at this stage will be final and cannot be revoked.
In the case of a special issue, the Managing Editor of the journal will forward the manuscript and relating information (including the identities of the referees) to the Editor-in-Chief who will be asked to give an advisory recommendation on the manuscript and may recommend acceptance, further peer-review, or uphold the original rejection decision. A reject decision at this stage will be final and cannot be revoked.
Production and Publication
Once accepted, the manuscript will undergo professional copy-editing, English editing, proofreading by the authors, final corrections, pagination, and, publication on the www.mdpi.com website.
Suggesting Reviewers
During the submission process, authors are pre encouraged to list five names of potential reviewers with the appropriate expertise to review the manuscript. The editors will not necessarily approach these referees. Please provide detailed contact information (address, homepage, phone, e-mail address). The proposed referees should neither be current collaborators of the co-authors nor have published with any of the co-authors of the manuscript within the last five years. Proposed reviewers should be from different institutions to the authors. You may identify appropriate Editorial Board members of the journal as potential reviewers. You may also suggest reviewers from among the authors that you frequently cite in your paper.
English Corrections
This journal is published in English. To facilitate proper peer-reviewing of your manuscript, it is essential that it is submitted in grammatically correct English. If you are not a native English speaker, we recommend that you have your manuscript professionally edited before submission or read by a native English-speaking colleague. MDPI can provide a language check via our English editing service. An additional fee will be charged to authors if extensive English corrections must be done by the Editorial Office. For additional information see the Article Processing Charges page.

- Raw data should preferably be publicly deposited by the authors before submission of their manuscript. Authors need to at least have the raw data readily available for presentation to the referees and the editors of the journal, if requested. Authors need to ensure appropriate measures are taken so that raw data is retained in full for a reasonable time after publication.
- Simultaneous submission of manuscripts to more than one journal is not tolerated.
- Republishing content that is not novel is not tolerated (for example, an English translation of a paper that is already published in another language will not be accepted).
- If errors and inaccuracies are found by the authors after publication of their paper, they need to be promptly communicated to the editors of this journal so that appropriate actions can be taken. Please refer to our policy regarding publication of publishing addenda and corrections.
- Your manuscript should not contain any information that has already been published. If you include already published figures or images, please obtain the necessary permission from the copyright holder to publish under the CC-BY license.
- Plagiarism, data fabrication and image manipulation are not tolerated.
- Plagiarism is not acceptable in Agronomy submissions.
Plagiarism includes copying text, ideas, images, or data from another source, even from your own publications, without giving any credit to the original source.
Reuse of text that is copied from another source must be between quotes and the original source must be cited. If a study's design or the manuscript's structure or language has been inspired by previous works, these works must be explicitly cited.
If plagiarism is detected during the peer review process, the manuscript may be rejected. If plagiarism is detected after publication, we may publish a correction or retract the paper.
- Image files must not be manipulated or adjusted in any way that could lead to misinterpretation of the information provided by the original image.
Irregular manipulation includes: 1) introduction, enhancement, moving, or removing features from the original image; 2) grouping of images that should obviously be presented separately (e.g., from different parts of the same gel, or from different gels); or 3) modifying the contrast, brightness or color balance to obscure, eliminate or enhance some information.
If irregular image manipulation is identified and confirmed during the peer review process, we may reject the manuscript. If irregular image manipulation is identified and confirmed after publication, we may correct or retract the paper.
Our in-house editors will investigate any allegations of publication misconduct and may contact the authors' institutions or funders if necessary. If evidence of misconduct is found, appropriate action will be taken to correct or retract the publication. Authors are expected to comply with the best ethical publication practices when publishing with MDPI.

Tuesday, July 23, 2013
The Berkeley-Charleston-Dorchester Council of Governments hosted a heated debate on the adoption of a South Carolina Department of Transportation tree-clearing project Monday.
The I-26 Median Safety Project, which was first announced in October 2012, suggests removing trees that are growing in the median of I-26 between I-95 and Summerville to reduce the number of fatal crashes in the area.
After fielding a lively discussion and going through several motions, Council Chairman Daniel Davis concluded the meeting by forming an ad-hoc committee that will work with SCDOT officials to gather more information on the project and additional alternatives to the ones proposed. The committee will present their findings at the next Council of Governments meeting, he said.
SCDOT Director of Traffic Engineering Tony Sheppard presented the existing safety alternatives – to either remove the threat or shield drivers from it – during the meeting. SCDOT will be giving the same presentation again during a public hearing at Summerville High School on Aug. 1 from 5 – 7 p.m.
According to Sheppard, SCDOT performed a crash study from Jan. 2007 through Nov. 2011 on the 29.6-mile corridor. During that time there were 1,934 automobile crashes recorded. Of the crashes, 709 involved injuries and 44 were fatalities, which are unusually high numbers, he said. The statistics showed that 50 percent of the crashes involved cars driving off the roadway; twice as many hit the median rather than the right side of the road.
The study found that the crashes were caused by three factors: speeding, drunk driving, and drivers who are falling asleep or distracted at the wheel.
In order to reduce the number of fatalities and accidents in the area, Sheppard proposed two alternatives to the council.
One plan, which would remove the safety concern from the roadway, involves clearing all of the trees from the median and installing the SCDOT standard three-stranded cable wire to the center of the median. This plan has an estimated cost of $5 million.
The second proposed alternative involves shielding drivers from the safety concern by removing some trees and installing a high-tension cable around the area. This plan has an estimated cost of $10 million.
The federal government will provide funding for the entire project, Sheppard said.
In total, the project – which is referred to as the Median Cable Rail Project on I-26 on the SCDOT website – will require "clearing, grubbing, dressing and grassing" 23 miles of median, according to Sheppard.
U.S. Rep. Mark Sanford, although not a member of the body, attended the meeting and addressed the members with his opinion.
"People come here because it has a different look and feel to everywhere else and the gateway [to the area] is the I-26 corridor coming in," he said.
Rep. Sanford continued, suggesting SCDOT use the George Washington and Baltimore-Washington parkways in the Washington, D.C. area as an example. Both parkways feature wooded medians and stone dividing walls.
"If it's good enough for D.C., it's good enough for home," Sanford said.
Former U.S. Rep. Arthur Ravenel, Jr., also spoke at the meeting, reminding the members that their decision could affect local politics.
"Beauty and the environment is a non-partisan issue," he said. "Year '14 is an election year and I don't think the tree-cutting candidate is going to fare too well."
Members of the council echoed the same sentiment, noting that many had heard from constituents who unanimously wanted the trees to remain.
"[The accidents are] not the trees' fault, and it's not most drivers' fault. Issue the bad drivers helmets if you want to, but please don't cut down our trees," said Nancy Corbin, a member of the general public who noted that she and her family have driven the debated stretch of highway since 1987 and have never gotten into an accident.
Other council members chimed in with similar opinions.
"Which tree has broken the law? Trees are not causing accidents, and cars aren't causing accidents. It's people that are causing accidents," said member Mathew Profit. "Cutting down a tree is not going to stop people from drinking. Cutting down a tree is not going to stop people from falling asleep at the wheel."
