Troutfest 2009
I'm the new Chairman of Troutfest. In order to make this event as successful as possible we are all starting early. The dates are set. The banquet will be held at the Townsend Visitors Center on Friday evening May 15th. The Little River Chapter of Trout Unlimited has decided to change the format of the festival to a Fly Fishing Exposition. Since next year is the 75th Anniversary of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park it is only fitting to make this a special event. I have asked Joe Hatton and Rufus King to be Vice-Chairmen of Troutfest. We have already assigned the job of Coordinators to several people and we will be asking others to serve. We will also need a lot of volunteers and I have been getting phone calls and e-mail from people willing to serve. Thanks to all of you.
The Smoky Mountain Convention and Visitors Bureau's Herb Handly will work with us on Marketing and Festival Planning. Troutfest will be included in the SMCVB's national advertising which is vast.
We will have some special people here for your enjoyment at the banquet and during the festival. So far we have committments from Joe Humphreys and Lefty Kreh and I am working on getting Bob Clouser. I think he will be here. Our shop will pay to get Joe here and Rick Pope who is President of Temple Fork is going to bring Lefty in. Rick will be here as well. I talked to Lily Renzetti yesterday and she and her husband Andy plan to attend. We have several other special guests who we are working with.
The banquet will be expanded to handle 400 to 500 people.
There will be a fly tying tent with ongoing demonstrations by many well known fly tyers from this area and others.
Joe, Lefty and probably Bob will give demonstrations and they will participate in the fly tying tent.
Fly Fishing Manufacturers will be here to display their tackle and for you to meet.
Guide services, fly fishing related vendors, food vendors and fly shops will have booths.
The Education Tent will be back with participation from additional non-profits, conservation organizations and government agencies.
Many if not all of the sales representatives who work in this region will be here. I have committments from some of them already.
There will be a Little River Chapter store that will sell books and chapter logo merchandise. We can buy the books and send back what we don't sell. That will be a huge fund raiser since the writers will be there to sign them.
We will work closely with the National Park Service personnel to get them more involved. Troutfest is currently listed as one of the events for their 75th Anniversary Celebration.
It is going to be a great event. My goal is to start early and make it easy for the volunteers due to careful planning by our Vice-Chairmen and Coordinators.
We added this Forum to the message board so you can discuss the event and keep up to date with the progress. Also we know that our attendance will be better if we reach a lot of people and give good information.
That's all for now. I'll keep you posted and please feel free to chime in.

Up and running with Byron.
Byron --
Just your usual phenomenal job...
We are planning on setting up our tent in about a week to reserve our spot. If anyone wants to join us, just let me know.
See you all there!
Hey Byron,
How many days is Troutfest? Gonna try to get down for it.
"My Biggest worry is that when I'm dead and gone, my wife will sell my fly-fishing gear for what I said I paid for it."
email at firstname.lastname@example.com
Just keep reminding yourself that this is Troutfest...
not Bonnaroo
I talked with Doug Moore about it last night over dinner.....Sounds like this year it's going to be done right! With the sales reps being there alone, that should be a big improvement! Will these guys/gals being packing there own booths? I've always said Troutfest in good ol Townsend, TN should be bigger. Heck, this IS the only festival/event of it's type north of Florida, south of Michigan, and east of Arkansas!
There is just too much good fishing around East Tennessee, North Carolina, Virginia, North Georgia, and Kentucky!
Byron, someone else you might want to try to get is someone from Hyde and Clacka. Any Mckenzie boat manufactor's! The gent that runs South East Fly Fishing Forum is also a sales rep for Star Inflatables, he is also a member of NC FF team. It would be a short trip for him! A small personal toon vendor booth would probably do really well. Like myself, a few months ago, I didn't know what to buy or why! Inflatable toon, or fiberglass boat? Then I had 30 different models to choose from.
If you could secure Hyde or Clacka it would be something...They have officially quit coming out east. This year was the first year they didn't show over in NC for the Fly Fishing Show. At least that's what I hear....
I know you all don't sell or advertise them but, it would ultimately draw folks to the show and draw them into Townsend. Once they head through the doors of your shop and meet the LRO family it's all over!
T.E. Shular is the gent's name with Star Inflatables...Byron, I'm sure you know him!
Lastly, Byron if there is anything I can do to help....Please let me know!
The banquet will be held Friday night May 15th and the Exposition will be on Saturday and Sunday the 16th and 17th. Hope you can be here.
Our buddy Kris Maurer is going to be in charge of vendors. You know how organized he is. We have not set prices yet for booths for manufacturers, fly shops or guides. I'll put you on the volunteer list. Thank you for volunteering. You might want to work with Kris. He is going to need plenty of help. I'd say Doug will be helping Kris too. I've known Eugene Shuler for years.
I think we should have Widespread Panic open the show. What do you think?
I'm pumped! I had a prior engagement during this years Troutfest, now I have NO excuse. Great job Byron, getting this thing off the ground so early. I can't wait to see a row of trucks with TU license plates too!
Make sure that you dont have any Prior Commitments like a Honeymoon to conflict with the event this year. Could be a bad start if you have to come home early for a fishing show!

Florida Marlins (87-74) at Philadelphia Phillies (92-69)
Josh Johnson (15-5) vs. J.A Happ (12-4)
Time: 1:35 p.m at Citizens Bank Park
Weather: Partly Cloudy, 64
Twitter: Phillies Nation
This is it. Game number 162. The final game of the regular season. It will be the Phillies final tuneup before facing the Colorado Rockies in the National League Division Series on Wednesday.
J.A Happ will make his final campaign for the Rookie of the Year Award, but he may also be pitching for a spot in the postseason rotation. "When I think about it, you want him in [the rotation] because he is a starter, but missing [J.C] Romero … if [Happ] pitches one inning in three days, he could come back and pitch on his regular turn. I'm not saying we're going to do that, but that does enter my mind," Charlie Manuel said.
It is unlikely Happ will pitch more than six innings today. He'll pitch long enough so he doesn't become rusty, but short enough to avoid an injury. It will also allow relievers to audition for a spot on the playoff roster. Happ pitched seven shutout innings when he last faced the Marlins.
Happ will be opposed by the Marlins' ace, Josh Johnson. Johnson is 1-1 with a 2.50 ERA against the Phillies this year. In 18 innings, Johnson has struck out 24 Phillies. Phillies hitters are batting .212 against him.
It is Fan Appreciation Day at Citizens Bank Park. The fans would really appreciate a win, ending the season on a positive note. Being swept is not a good way to enter the postseason.
Today's Lineup: Cairo 2B, Dobbs 3B, Werth RF, Stairs LF, Francisco CF, Tracy 1B, Bruntlett SS, Bako C, Happ P
Your Gameday Beer – Birra Moretti
We're going with an easy drinker for what hopes to be an easy Sunday. This Italian Pilsner has a crisp golden pour and similarly light flavor. It's both bubbly and hoppy and since neither are overwhelming it makes for a nice party in your mouth. Keep it going with your favorite hoagie. – By Brian

We beat the rockies, cards beat the dodgers, there's your home field advantage peeps
is the starting rotation trying to pull a rope a dope by playing so badly…like when the Rox come will they suddenly look like major league pitchers and take the hard hitting Rox by suprise
It's called hustling isn't it jreed?
the phils will dominate the rockies and sweep them and say "Hey you hustled us" and then a big brawl will break out..lol
boy this game looks uggla
last game on MLB.TV for this year.
have to say it was an interesting year.
yeah well you have to say the cards, dodgers and phils are limping into the postseason while the rockies are dominating. even though the dodgers won last night they are struggling and you could even say the rockies are the favorite to get to the world series even though they won't be in vegas because they don't have home field
I know the game is meaningless but I just wanted to see something from the starters….were not scaring any line-up and its gotta be looming over the head of the bullpen….order more arm epoxy stat
it looks like happ is going in the bullpen because all of the injuries. It's weird the beginning of the season the phils starters weren't very good and the bullpen carried them, then the starters started playing well and going deep and the bullpen fell apart. Now nothing is going well. A few days off will do this team good
why do we give up 2 runs in the first inning every game now?
The starting pitchers look like their going out just trying to get some work in, not much more.
Birra Moretti… Great choice Brian! Got my cupboard stocked with 2 pint bottles. Honestly one of the best beers in the world!
on a positive note, this team is due to get hot, may as well make it the postseason
they also lost del la rosa and their bp is not much more healthy then ours.
Happ sucks. Trade Happ for Dontrelle Willis.
Joedad only speaks the truth folks
joedad – as much as i like to make fun of the leminings, the starters are a legit concern. They are the key to going any where in the post season.
huh?? Must have been the Clinton joke…Who gives a f*ck… Phillies Nation it may be better to just turn the game off… It's not worth the stress…..
Save the emotion for Wednesday!
I just hope that the Phillies are saving their magic, power, and motivation to win. If not, it may be a longer offseason than we wanted.
Yeah but here's the problem Jreed. Concern is one thing, the crap you've seen on these threads the past week seems like pure hatred on this team. Why? Everyone guns for the champions. It's hard to repeat. The phillies until the end of october last year with basically the same team that is tired now.(where are the tampa bay rays now?) Even if they go out in the first round do we need to hear screaming about what a bunch of bums they are? Call them heartless? Appreciate what happend last year, it was 100 seasons between championships for all philly teams until the phillies won last year. Being concerned and upset when they lose? All well and fine. Ripping this team like a bunch of lowlife Howard Eskins is just wrong. I think Joedad is trying to point that out with his sarcastic posts.
Remember what vince lombardi said: If you lose you're out of the family!!
Thanks for the 4 people who showed up to let me sign my book for them.
Cairo hits his first homerun in forever!
Chris Wheeler is great as well.
cairo better get that spot on the roster over bruntlett…bruntlett has done nothing this year
tied game!
so my prediction for postseason roster
Rollins, Victorino, Utley, Howard, Werth, Ibanez, Feliz, Ruiz
Dobbs, Francisco, Stairs, Bruntlett, Bako
Lee, Hamels, Blanton, Pedro
Happ, Kendrick, Myers, Durbin, Eyre, Condrey, Madson, Lidge
I'm great? Harry Kalas didn't even like me for christ sakes
How about Wes Helms as Phils 3rd baseman next year?
well this game sucks, oh well.
How can anyone justify bruntlett on the post season roster over cairo? bruntlett should not even be on a major league team…he is awful. and I do not care what he did in any season before this year….he sucks
ray – i am aware of that and i know joedad is being sarcastic. In fact, several of my posts often suggest trading Jayson Werth for a sack of magic beans. And I always rail against people saying they are playing heartless….our champs deserve more than that psychological tripe. But you see that i said i like to make fun of the leminings…you know the cousins of prarie dogs that commit mass suicided by jumping off cliffs. I am happy with what this team has done, i do think that the upper managemet could have been more aggressive in securing the bull pen (closer issue aside, nothing to be there) with some middle relievers. I don't expect alot out of the post season but still believe this team is capable of anything. This believe however has grown smaller with each one of these putrid starts.
j reed, starting pitching is usually the most important aspect of the postseason. I think they will get a lift facing the Rockies who don't hit lefties well and will use the momentum the rest of the way.
…and I'd trade Werth for Navy beans because he strikes out too much. No magic beans needed
ray- that's "nothing to be done there"
the bench is looking good….pushes away some of the dark clouds
The Detroit game is getting interesting in the 8th
although i agree with karen about bruntlett being left off the roster, she seems to have the opposite jinx effect on this team..lol
jreed i do agree with you there are concerns, i'm just pointing out the overhatred for this team since they started slumping
Bruntlett gets an RBI single and tells everyone that he deserves to make the team.
and Chris Wheeler, aren't u busy announcing the game? 😉
joedad -i was thinking Goya Navy Beans – you can get a sh*t load of Goya anything for Werth. What's alarming about the starters is its been across the board…like their bodies are in sync something. Weird
i forgot to change my name after my smartass book remark..lol
who said he deserves to make the roster? did you read wheeler's post. for the record, i'm not always chris wheeler, maybe every once and awhile but that's it
that's "in sync or something"
oooo sorry karen i thought you blaming chris for saying that bruntlett should make the team
tied game! again.
j reed, I agree and that is exactly why I think the Rockies as a first round opponent is best for them. Throw Hamels, Lee and Happ against them and they are back in sync the rest of the way.
well ray, i keep saying that they play 162 games for a reason….For baseball fan that can't handle losses and slumps it has to be a painful six months. I learned this lesson when I was 10 in little league
joedad – aren't you glad yor not a tigers fan? talk about nerve racking
Say what…….
Hey Jreed, his curve is back!
Hey everyone. The Phillies are the best!
my dr says i wouldn't have so many nose bleeds if i kept my finger out of there
Lisa, if the Bible has taught us nothing else, and it hasn't, it's that girls should stick to girls sports, such as hot oil wrestling and foxy boxing and such and such.
Here I come to save the daaaaaaay
anyone else listen to the marlins idiot broadcasters talk about some record gload just set?
I tune in for 2 minutes and see that crap.
Back to monitoring my fantasy team in the nfl.
Go phils in the playoffs.
If I am home for games I will post into game night threads as we march to the world series.
Well, that ad for the book "Honey, It Won't Come Off" on here got me intrigued, so I googled it, it's about the old almshouse which became Phila. State Hosp, which led me to websites and pics of Byberry Mental Hosp, wow, what a creepy place that was. Did any of you locals ever explore in there before they tore it all down? Yikes! Very interesting stuff, though.
Oooo, tie game!
Pingback: Baseballbriefs.com
Georgie, I remember my mom would say, "you are driving me to Byberry" when we were driving her crazy. It was full of crazy people who were eventually released thats to even crazier do-gooders so many of the poor people who lived there became homeless.
sorry to say we will know you out..Just like a couple of years ago. Oh no we should be afraid of Hamels and Lee. LOL. They stink. My pitching is not much better but I have a feeling we win this series. Lidge in the 9th Im shaking. Your so scary. Cant beat the Marlins, Stros, LOL LOL LOL
Eyre is doing a great job…. and the fact that they're throwing Escalona out there a lot probably means that Happ would get to start against the Rockies….
HK – are you talking about myers…i didn't see him pitch…I'm in and out. Building some stairs for my moms. If it is then that's a good sign
Rockies fan – kiss the ring
How about a walkoff to end the regular season?? It's been awhile since we last had one of those…
ok j reed- kiss my ass
what is going on?
Aww jreed he really got you with that one…..how about winning the world series instead of just the NL…..RED SOX 4-0
joedad, I missed most of the game, I got so caught up in the Byberry story, just unbelievable. I'm trying to find some books on the subject, I've now become obscessed with it.
Walk-off, that would be nice.
The Beard with a walkoff??
rockies fan – when we got to the world series we won….you did couldn't even win a game
Finish it Feliz!
let's not forget the Rox play in the weakest division in baseball for the past decade
francisco looked safe…these umps must like helms.
Last thing we need right now is an extra inning game, crap.
Oh well… at least the bullpen can get some much-needed work!
Yea and J reed your division is so tought. The Nats are the laughing stock in baseball. The Marlins and Braves. Please. The Mets. LOL
I think we should pinch-hit Howard to finish this thing off!
Wow now we know why Francisco isn't an everday player….he makes some of Vics. brain farts smell good
You played the RAYS. So stop. We played a much tougher team.
don't just be satisfied with your team beating the phillies rockies fan, hope they try and win it all dope…i know you're obsessed with us or you wouldn't be here
of course maybe beating the phillies is like winning the world series for them
Rox – what about the last decade.
The RAYS who beat the same RED SOX team….what an idiot
red sox were not the same team last year you homo ray. go play with mommy and daddy. when we knock you out and we will, i will come back to this room and blast you. your team is just horrible right now. we are playing you at the right time. i cant wait.
they weren't? that's how much you know dumbass. you mean the 2008 red sox with 95 wins as opposed to the 2007 red sox with 96 wins and 4 teams well over 500 in that division..go back to your hole and stop being obsessed with the WORLD CHAMPS…come back when you when it all
Uuuuu … an extra-inning walkoff? These guys love the drama.
2008 had 4 teams over 500 and one game difference
You know what, after reading Rockies fan's careful analysis of the upcoming playoff series, I now realize that the Phillies have no chance at all. What was I thinking?
oh boy i see the rockies fans are coming out of the woodworks…they did the same thing and 07 and were nowhere to be found last year.
I smell a Werth walkoff
Cairo is about to knock Bruntlett off the postseason roster….
Werth absolutely NEEDS his 100th RBI
big difference Rox fan we don't crap ourselves under pressure you did…13-1 game one of the 2007 World series….you didn't even give the NL an ounce of respect. 4-0 sweep
dame marlins walking him.
hoover we only need a base hit not a HR
happy day and how fitting…wes helms thank you
yeah Rox fan our BENCH played the entire game and just beat Josh Johnson
We got a better record than last year!
woo! 😀
on to the playoffs!
I tied big Ryan with 45 homers today and now want to at least tie him for the RBI crown. I am just one away and maybe, if I get the chance, will win that title from Big Ryan. Also, I'm hitting near .300. I'm younger, and I'm better. period and I am out to prove it. Too bad I am on the frickin Brewers. You Phils WILL NOT last long in the post-season, but at least you made it.
Thanks Prince's wood.
Ryan Howard is getting hot lately… will he carry this team during the playoffs this year?
Big Prince just cut a wicked fart over on first base that literally forced the umpire to move about ten feet back and the first base coach almost puked. That means he will be swinging heavy lumber next inning and may take the RBI crown.
Just passed Big Ryan in homers and tied him in RBI's. Thank you Charlie Manual for keeping Big Ryan's bat idle today. You bet your bottom dollar that Big Ryan is pissed about this because he had at least one homer and two RBI's in his bat today. Now THE PRINCE gets to eat the pudding. Big Ryan is NOT happy with Old Charlie.
it's great that everyone is gunning for the world champs. i'd be jealous too
Phillies > Brewers
i'm pretty sure an NL MVP and WS ring will suffice for Howard…Fielder can have his video game commerical, stupid walk-off celebrations and can lay claim to leading the NL in HR and RBI this year while he watches the play -offs on his plasma screen

For Immediate Release
August 28, 2007
Record number of Illinois students take AP tests; minority participation increases across the board
Participation by Black, Puerto Rican students up by more than 30 percent
SPRINGFIELD – A record number of Illinois high school students took Advanced Placement (AP) tests in 2006-2007, according to a report released today by the College Board. More than 55,000 public and non-public juniors and seniors took AP tests – a 9.9 percent increase over 2006. In addition, the state also saw a significant increase in all minority groups taking AP classes.
"I'm excited to see that more high school students are challenging themselves by taking advanced courses. It's a positive step in the right direction to see such an increase in minority participation," said State Superintendent of Education Christopher Koch. "These are rigorous courses that will prepare our students for postsecondary work."
In addition to the record number of students taking the AP tests, there was a 7.9 percent increase in the number of tests being scored high enough to receive college credit. An individual student may take more than one test and the number of tests taken increased by more than 10,000 in 2007 to 98,000. AP classes and tests are taken by high school students, often for dual credit with higher education institutions.
Overall, African-American and Puerto Rican participation in AP tests was up more than 30 percent. The number of students taking AP tests identifying themselves as black increased by 32.6% to 7,479 and the number of students identifying themselves as Puerto Rican increased by 34.3% to 857. English Literature & Composition, History of the United States and Mathematics Calculus AB were the most popular AP tests.
The AP results were released by the College Board, along with the annual SAT results which once again increased statewide as Illinois students outperformed their counterparts across the nation. Illinois' composite math score of 611 was 96 points higher than the national average and two points higher than last year. In the reading section, Illinois students averaged at 594, or 92 points higher than the national average and five points higher than last year.
Since 1997, Illinois' reading scores have increased 32 points – from 562 to a high of 594. The state's mathematics scores have also jumped 33 points from 578 in 1997.
While the SAT is not taken by as many high school students as the ACT it is another measure that shows how well Illinois students are being prepared for postsecondary education.
The SAT Reasoning Test is a measure of the critical thinking skills that students need for academic success in postsecondary education. It assesses how well students analyze and solve problems. The test is typically taken by high school juniors and seniors. Each SAT test is scored on an 800-point scale.

The 19-year-old daughter of Ezra Herschberger of Beeville had spent 250 hours stitching and molding pieces of tooled and stamped leather into a saddle.
She couldn't afford to attend the award ceremony in Sheridan, Wyo. So, the award — a medallion with her name engraved on the back along with a check for $250 — was shipped to Beeville and presented to her by a local saddle maker.
It wasn't her first award nor, one suspects, her last. It was the latest of a series of local and regional contests entered over the last eight years.
The time capsule of those years is collected in a three-ring binder that begins with a brief biography of her career, followed by photographs of 117 leather projects ranging from wallets to purses to belt buckles to saddles. Eleven pages, going back eight years.
IN 2005, Ezra Herschberger had a problem. Well, more than one. After years of indecision, he and his family left the local Amish community, willing to endure all that contained: banishment, shunning, friends lost who were like family.
And he needed help in his leather shop, and he couldn't find it.
"So, I drafted Clara."
She was 11 at the time, his eldest daughter.
Ezra now was of the Amish community but not in it. Whatever his doctrinal differences, much of the tradition and the training remained. For Clara, going to work not yet a teenager was the pattern. Besides, she wanted to do it, for even then, she had an abiding interest in her father's work.
In her brief biography, she writes, "It always fascinated me how Dad could take a flat piece of leather and make a useful item of quality that would last for years."
Like all apprenticeships, she began to learn her trade with the basics: cleaning and oiling saddles.
Soon, she was changing the leather on stirrups and doing small repair jobs — vital tasks, perhaps, but repetitive and therefore boring for a child.
"Dad told me to stick to it," she says, "that I would come to enjoy and love it."
She did, and did.
IN THE next three years, she still cleaned saddles, but she was beginning to make items, too.
"One day in October, 2008, Dad was doing business in town," she writes.
When the cat's away...
She picked up some of her father's 20 stamping tools, found a discarded piece of leather, and started to experiment.
Her father had told her never to touch his tools, so she stashed her beginning efforts in a dusty corner.
The Ezra Hersberger leather shop is of Amish design, wooden floors — "I love walking around barefoot," Ezra says. "Couldn't do that with the Amish" — harnesses, bridles and belts hanging from nails, the shop illuminated by low-energy, compact fluorescent bulbs in the wooden beams of the exposed ceiling. No frills; strictly utilitarian — plenty of places to hide pieces of scrap leather.
Or so she thought.
"I guess I didn't hide 'em as well as I thought," she writes.
"I found the pieces," Ezra says, "but I didn't let her know that." Clara, he says, is clever. "Maybe she half-hid them, so that I could find them."
WHATEVER THE motivation, Ezra built Clara her own stamping table. Clara soon graduated to making Christmas tree ornaments, custom coasters and decorations for saddles her father was making.
To her surprise, and Ezra's delight, people starting giving her commissions.
Each project, she remembers, was more challenging.
Four years after Ezra asked her to help him in the shop, Clara began her first saddle.
"It took me 140 hours," she says. The western saddle — she only makes western saddles — consisted of 25 pieces of leather and the "tree," the molded seat with a cast-iron horn.
She was on her own. Because she wanted to enter it in contests, Ezra couldn't help, except to offer advice.
She won second place in the beginner's class at the Boots and Saddle Makers Roundup in Wichita Falls.
She sold it for $2,500.
HER PROJECTS expanded to include belts, Bible covers, purses, gun cases, vests and motorcycle seats.
And more saddles.
Her latest, which won the Stohlman award, sold for $6,000 — 140 percent appreciation over her first one.
It cost between $600 and $800 to build, obviously not including labor costs.
Each saddle bears a stamped alliteration: "Clara's Creations, ESH Saddle Shop."
Her award-winning saddle was entered in the novice class; with her next she will be competing in the adult, big league. She says she's going to wait another two years before entering the contest again.
Ezra is deservedly proud of Clara. "It's special to see her carry on the business," he smiles.
Clara smiles back. This, she says, is what she wants to do from now on.
"Leatherwork," she says.
"It gets in your blood."

Me and a few of the lads Rod , Jim, Mick, Kev, Selby etc went to the Taproom in Batley after the game for a drink and a chat about the match and a very welcoming bar it was real fire and free roast potatoes + a good selection of real ales, & wine . It was just a thaught but for the coming season after spending time in the Bulldog bar its what we supporters have needed for a while now since the closing of the White Hart. I am not a reguler their or have any connection to the owners as i now live in Horbury but i am sure that it could fill a void as the supporters venue in the town centre. I have heard that they do sponser the club but cant say for sure maybe Paul (Harrison) could answer that one for me. Any thaughts on this one from other fans
Been in quite a few times for a few quiet ones on a Friday night , got to say its a really nice relaxing pub , nice comfy sofa's for us that are knocking on . Im sure they do sponsor the club (may have an advertising board not sure ) . I believe they also attend the games and are fans of the club . When we were in there before christmas the bloke said after the Boxing day friendly everyone was welcome back there and he would be putting on pork sarnies along with roast potatoes as you say . If you are in the other side of the pub then there is also memorabilia on the walls from the NRC final and other things framed on the wall . Am certain the owners have a connection with a couple of people who do a heck of a lot of work for the club/bissa so that may be where the link to the club has come from .

No Child Left Behind (NCLB)
Information for Parents
A Parent Guide to No Child Left Behind
What happens if my school does not make AYP?
Title I schools that do not make AYP for two consecutive years are identified as a School In Need of Improvement.
In year one of School Improvement, the school must develop an improvement plan and offer school choice.
In year two, the school must offer Supplemental Educational Services (SES) in addition to school choice.
In year three, the school district must implement one or more of a list of corrective actions. A restructuring plan is developed when the school or district has not made AYP for a total of 5 consecutive years.
For more information on School Improvement Options visit our School Improvement Page

Deal DetailsLast Edited by RK1234 November 12, 2012 at 08:53 PM
Although this is a repost, I figured people could apply to the teams that they care for instead of just getting the card for 400$ and have a card of a team they did not care for.
You can also call to apply - 1-866-951-7194 to apply
It seems like "Visa cards are not getting approved and Mastercards are getting approved. I would apply for a mastercard, get the bonus and then if you want to keep the card , change the card to the team you follow. Ofcourse I have not tried it, so it is a big YMMV"
Please be kind, this is my very first post.
Here are the links and if they dont work please let me know. Please check the terms/conditions in the application page for the 40000 point bonus which equals 400$ of statement credit spelled out. Also for people who already have the 400$ bonus card or 200$ bonus card, I do not know if you will get a second card. It all depends on your credit worthiness and the snooty Barclays customer service.

Nov 20: DEAD. - All links in first post lead to an "Expired Offer"
DEAD - Steelers Card
https://www.barclaycardus.com/app/japply/WebAppGate.jsp?obchannel=033&browserUserAgent=Mozilla%2F5.0+%28Windows+NT+6.1%3B+rv%3A16.0%29+Gecko%2F20100101+Firefox%2F16.0&campaignId=1717&clickid=&outboundAdLocation=365&sqGroup=20&prodidreq=CCVVS48890&obcreative=0000000&product.IowaEnable=false&partne rid=1654&ibchannel=03&appcreative=03570&landcreative=000000&referrerid=BCRWDS111&listid=&obadloc=365&landpage=00000&campaignid=0001717&VASPPP=CPDC0014&legacy=true
So I was denied as per my previous posts. I called them up and they said some of my information "wasn't matching with their records." She asked me a few questions and then I was magically approved for $8k. My suggestion to anyone who is flat out denied is to call them. Also, I called the number in the wiki and they told me I needed to call a different department. The number was 888-232-0776.
Nov 8: Semi-DEAD. All of the links result in an "expired offer" message, except for the links that says working links in the first post. Till someone applies and update it here, we will not know if the links actually leads to application approval.
Bummer for people who already have the $200 bonus card:
Unless otherwise stated in the offer, these bonuses and/or awards are intended for persons who are not, and have not previously been, Barclays NFL Extra Points cardmembers. You understand and agree that, unless we otherwise state, you are no longer eligible to receive these bonuses and/or awards for any new NFL Extra Points account after your first NFL Extra Points credit card account is opened. If you receive a bonus or award for which you are not eligible, we may revoke the bonus or award, or reduce your Points by the amount of the award, or charge your account for the fair value of the bonus or award, at our option.

UPDATE: The 49ers Visa Card will automatically decline everyone before a credit pull due to an expired offer. I assume it's the same for a good chunk of these cards.
Main page of my account details, click the "Rewards Program Terms & Conditions"
to receive a one-time bonus award of ten thousand (10,000) Points. Bonus Points will be posted at the close of your first billing
statement after an initial qualifying purchase or balance transfer is made. Balance Transfer Checks do not qualify for bonus Points.
(B) Bonus Points - Forty thousand (40,000) Bonus Points will be awarded after at least $1000.00 in Net Purchases (that are not later returned or rescinded) in the first 90 days after account opening. Bonus Points will be posted at the close of your first billing statement after an initial qualifying purchase or balance transfer is made. Balance Transfer Checks do not qualify for bonus points.
Right on the main page, and what it said before I signed up:
1. Can I still get the 50,000 points for signing up?
No, the 10,000 points for first purchase is dead. You can still get the 40,000 statement credit, however ($400).
2. I signed up for team ____, but got the Packers! What the heck!
Some people seem to be experiencing this. Call 866-421-8004 and have them change it.
3. How much do I have to spend to get the points?
You must spend $1,000 in 3 months.
4. What are the restrictions for spending $1,000
Purchases must be over $25.00.
- This is somewhat true. You need to have charges that are more than $25 to apply your credits to.
Just verified with my copy paper of ToS: It doesn't matter what amounts are spent to get to $1000, it just has to be NET $1000 without any refunds or things that get pulled.
"Card members may redeem points for a variety of rewards including NFL gift cards, certain NFL merchandise, NFL collectibles, NFL based experiences, and cash back via a statement credit towards any purchase transactions of $25 or more that posted to your account within the last 90 days."
5. Do gift card purchases work with this deal?
Yes, you may purchase gift cards, but they MUST be from a store: Ex. you can't order an AMEX gift card online.
YMMV, but was able to buy AMEX giftcards from AMEX and get rewards

Nov. 5, 2012 update: Green Bay Packers MasterCards seems to be getting approved; other teams' cards, not so much, or people are waiting to hear. Perhaps a best bet: go with the Packers . . . .
Nov. 7, 2012 late afternoon update: Despite what some Barclays telephone reps. have told people (the Barclays phone reps. just don't know about this promotion, and don't have the information), the promotion still is on and applications still are being granted, at least for Green Bay Packers MasterCards.

you can spend $1K the same day you get the card, receive points in two days (when the transaction is settled), and instantaneously apply the points towards that $1K purchase. Even before the first statement
When calling the credit analyst, 866-408-4064, they claimed that I never applied eventhough their website says "Currently we are unable to offer you a Credit Card. Details on why we could not make you a credit offer will be mailed to you. " when checking application status.
Any similar cases? Any ideas on what steps I should take at this point, if any?

It can be dizzying to keep track of all the vaccines required during your child's first year of life. For that reason, we compiled a run-down of each vaccine, and supplied which age the vaccine is generally given.
Below are the recommended vaccinations for children between birth and 1 year of age, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and Boston Children's Hospital.
Hepatitis B (HepB)
Hepatitis B infections are known as the "silent epidemic" because many infected people don't experience symptoms until decades later when they develop hepatitis (inflammation of the liver), cirrhosis (severe liver disease), or cancer of the liver (hepatocellular carcinoma).
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends children get vaccinated for hepatitis B to prevent against severe liver disease caused by the hepatitis B virus.
According to The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, the hepatitis B vaccine is given as a series of three shots: the first between birth and 2 months of age; the second dose one to two months later; and the third given between 6 months and 18 months of age.
Rotavirus (RV)
Each year in the U.S., according to the Boston Children's Hospital, rotavirus causes as many as 55,000 children to be hospitalized.
Rotavirus infects the lining of the intestines, and is the leading cause of severe diarrhea. The treatment goal is to prevent complications from dehydration.
The CDC recommends a series of three doses by mouth at 2 months, 4 months and 6 months of age, and can be administered with other vaccines typically given at those times.
Diphtheria, Tetanus and Pertussis (DTaP)
Diphtheria, a childhood disease that was common in the 1930s, is an acute bacterial disease found in two forms -- respiratory diphtheria and cutaneous (or skin) diphtheria.
Vaccinations against diphtheria have made the disease rare in the U.S. and other developed countries.
Tetanus (or lockjaw) causes painful contracting of the muscles, typically all over the body. It can lead to "locking" of the jaw, so the victim cannot open his or her mouth or swallow.
Pertussis (or whooping cough) causes uncontrollable coughing spells so bad that it is hard for infants to eat, drink or breathe.
The DTaP vaccine is given to infants in a series of five shots at 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 15 to 18 months, and again at 4 to 6 years of age.
Haemophilus Influenza (Hib)
Haemophilus influenza type b (Hib) is a bacterium that infects the lining of the brain, causing meningitis. Meningitis is caused by several different bacteria; however, before the vaccine Hib was the most common cause of meningitis, according to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
The CDC recommends the Hib vaccine for infants at 2, 4, 6 and 15 to 18 months.
Polio (IPV)
Polio is a highly contagious disease caused by three types of poliovirus: spinal polio, bulbar polio and bulbospinal polio, a combination of the two. The poliovirus is a virus most notable for its destruction of the nervous system, causing paralysis.
The majority of individuals who are infected with polio have no symptoms, and a small number of have mild symptoms. According to the CDC and the World Health Organization (WHO), of those people who do acquire the infection, 1 percent or fewer may develop paralytic disease.
Since the introduction of the polio vaccine in 1955 and global efforts to quell its spread, infections from the poliovirus have nearly been eradicated.
The CDC recommends three doses of the IPV (Inactivated polio vaccine) at 2 months, 4 months, between 6 and 18 months.
Pneumococcal Conjugate (PCV)

Bioidentical Hormones
The Medical Letter recently evaluated "bioidentical" hormones and concluded
There is no acceptable evidence that "bioidentical" hormones are safe or effective. Patients should be discouraged from taking them.
"Bioidenticals" include progesterone, estrogens (estriol, estradiol, and estrone), and testosterone. They have mainly been promoted as a safer, more natural alternative to menopausal hormone replacement therapy (HRT), but they are also claimed to increase energy, well-being, and quality of life, and to have an anti-aging effect. Suzanne Somers recommends them for all age groups and both sexes. There is no evidence to support any of those claims.
The whole "bioidentical" thing is a pseudoscientific concept: it is a marketing term rather than a scientifically meaningful one. Bioidenticals are promoted by celebrities like Suzanne Somers, a few maverick medical doctors like Kent Holtorf, proponents of "natural" medicine, patients who were frightened by the Women's Health Initiative study of hormone replacement therapy, and critics of Big Pharma. The mainstream scientific community is in consensus: a number of medical organizations, from the American Cancer Society to the Mayo Clinic, have issued statements similar to that of The Medical Letter.

August 18, 2011 —
I've often heard it said that "age is just a number" but have no clue who coined the phrase. Undoubtedly, it was some octogenarian—loath to admit that time was passing more quickly than had been anticipated. This past week, my event calendar was filled with time travel and I found myself doing the math a little too often.
Making my reservations for "Chicago" at the Forestburgh Playhouse (www.fb [2] playhouse.org), I was reminded of the first time I saw the show in 1975. Just a number? Maybe so, but it's an old one. Thankfully, this show stands the test of time and seeing a new generation appreciate the remarkable collaboration of Bob Fosse, John Kander and Fred Ebb reminded me that "everything old is new again" as I let the show wash over me with waves of nostalgia, tinged with (black and white) memories, dredged up through the sands of time.
Maggie Anderson, Danielle Kelsey, Dan Fenaughty, Jim Bray and Galyana Castillo breathed new life into this show and the audience roared with appreciation as the story of murder and mayhem unfolded on stage. Sexy, sultry and sensational, "Chicago" may not have aged, but I have. I had a hard time remembering the words to some of the numbers, but the sizzling cast made it all seem fresh as songs like "All That Jazz," "Cell Block Tango" and "Mr. Cellophane" reverberated through the rafters. "Chicago" is timeless and an evening at the Forestburgh Playhouse is (IMHO) time well spent.
With one rheumy eye on the hourglass, I decided against hauling out the love beads, but made haste to the event gallery at Bethel Woods ( www.bethelwoodscenter.org [3]) for an "up close and personal" hour with the some of the original members of "The Family Stone" (sans Sly) on the eve of the anniversary of the 1969 Woodstock festival, held on the same spot lo, those many years ago.
Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Jerry Martini, Greg Errico and Cynthia Robinson were on hand to regale us with stories of partying with the likes of Joplin and Hendrix at the (now defunct) Holiday Inn in Liberty, NY, and it was Martini who quipped that he had been with the band "since the Hoover administration" which, while amusing, was a reality check.
"Dance to the Music," "Everyday People" and "Hot Fun in the Summertime" are but a few of this group's mega-hits and the preview performance at the gallery conjured up images of hippies, peace signs and hitchhiking to Yasgur's farm back in the day. Touted as the first "integrated, multi-gendered" group, the Family Stone's many hits still sounded fresh and relevant when they hit the pavillion stage the next night, joining fellow Hall of Fame inductees Blood, Sweat & Tears in a tribute to the Woodstock generation.
With a slew of chart-toppers in their repertoire, BS&T can still rock the house and I closed my eyes as they performed
originals and covers like "Spinning Wheel," "You Make Me So Very Happy" and the prophetic "And When I Die," which gave me pause. Best known for their unique blend of rock, jazz and pop, these guys put on a show that rivaled the "old days" with vitality, exuberance and showmanship and for a brief, shining moment, I was young again.
When I opened my eyes and saw Tommy James and the Shondells on stage, my reverie came crashing to a halt. Although The Shondells were a smash in the mid '60's and already a hit before I started buying albums, songs like "Hanky Panky" and "Crimson and Clover," although legendary, echoed the earlier sound of the '50s and ultimately gave way to the beat of a different drum.
To be honest, groups like The Shondells were somewhat shut out as a new groove began to take hold; and although there was not a gray hair in sight on stage, I had to admit that even my "inner child' has wrinkles. The decades were no longer as blurred as I would have liked and suddenly, I felt like a dinosaur, recalling what it was like listening to a (fossil) record on the gramophone. As I reach for my walker and place the bifocals on my nose, I can't help but think that age may be "just a number" but there are days when I have trouble counting that high.

- I'd like to eat at the Conflict Kitchen. For a long time I've had a theory that no people who make decent food can be all bad, and I've yet to find a culture where I couldn't find anything I could eat. These folks are pretty much saying the same thing. Too bad it's in Pittsburgh – that's a 5-hour drive.
- In the 70s, when a method for separating male and female sperm was developed, making the ability to choose the sex of your child possible, there was a fear that doing so would only make America more patriarchal. Now there are good reasons to believe that patriarchy is being destroyed altogether, and a matriarchy is on the horizon.

TwirlyGirl® sent my Busy girl a Reversible TwirlyGirl® Racer Dress in The Fairy Gardens print. They also thought to send a pair of Hoppin Heather UnderTwirl™ Shorts to keep her underwear as underwear and not visible to anyone when she's twirling (which is nonstop when she wears this dress).
As you can see by the photos, the dress delivers on the twirly front. I've never seen a dress for a little girl twirl so much. It was an instant favorite!! The dress feels silky smooth to touch and hangs so nicely- just beautifully made and the colors and print combinations are sure to delight any child. (I'm happy to report that the folks at TwirlyGirl® have also thought to include women at least for 2 top styles…which hopefully will be coming with ME to Los Angeles in a few weeks!!)
MY favorite part aside from the cute print and the twirl is that the dresses are reversible- you really get two dresses for the price of one!! This is good because the TwirlyGirl® brand isn't an inexpensive one- although you definitely do get high quality craftsmanship and fabric, so this dress will last through at least a few kids- and being reversible, you really do get 2 dresses for the price you pay. They do have a SALE section too!! (Use code TGMLB11 to save 10% off any purchase of $50 or more thru 7/9/11)
I love the complementing patterns and fabrics, and the UnderTwirls™ make me very, very happy as a mom because I feel like manufactuers of girls' clothing stop making bloomers right when girl seem to finish potty training, when they NEED the coverage so their underwear isn't exposed when climbing and twirling. You can see the shorts in the Hoppin Heather in some of these photos- just a peek- they are so soft and so comfy, and a nice light fabric so your girl isn't getting hot and uncomfortable while wearing them.
Not only does TwirlyGirl® make beautiful twirly clothing for girls (and women!), they also give back, and it's very hard to not love a company that has a heart and follows their heart with their wallet too. Right now they donate a portion of all their sales to the Echo Center which helps families connect in supportive and non-violent ways. You can read more about the twirls, girls, and company here.
The folks at TwirlyGirl® have offered to send one of my readers a Reversible TwirlyGirl® Dress and a pair of UnderTwirls™ in the winner's choice of size and style (based on availability of course) Mandatory Entry: Leave a comment with your name and be sure to leave a valid email address in the comment form so I can reach you if you've won!

Recent events, including hurricanes in the Northeast along with other disasters both near and far, have led me to explore what the needs in our community are and how we deal with them. The search led to exploration identifying who comprises our community. In my eyes, our community comprises all people who live in Honesdale, towns nearby, or are traveling through. That's a pretty large community. Identifying needs can be more complex, as we tend to first confuse a want with a need and then question the validity of a need that may differ from our own. Through this journey, I came to reaffirm for myself that I love Honesdale, the people in it and the people that pass through, and I take to heart all our needs.
Feeding the needs of a community requires one to step back and to look around impartially. This essay's title line, "Feeding the needs of our community," may lead to visions of an absent meal, but our needs are much greater than simply food. There's the need for fellowship, friendship and the bonds that grow from respect and trust. There's the need of understanding that family doesn't have to stem from a blood relation, but that we are all brothers and sisters in God's world. There's the need of acceptance and feeling welcome at any time, and the need to stumble, err and be forgiven. We weren't put on this floating blue ball to be solitary. God intended for us to reach out to one another, as scary as that may be at times, and to love one another. Feeding needs requires removal of the word "I" and emphasis on "you," "he," "she" and "they," and opening our eyes to see things from another viewpoint.
I'm thrilled to see on a daily basis how the Honesdale community cares for its brothers and sisters. We offer many places for spiritual growth. We encourage community activities and we actually stop when someone is in the crosswalk to allow them safe passage across the street. When a family is in need, you'll readily see a fund drive appear and the community gather to give, and it's not only the monetary donation that matters. It's the phone calls, cards and prayers that really count at times when we wonder what's going on in our lives. There is no better place to live in a community spirit.
We are blessed in that free Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day dinners are available to everyone, with turkey and all the trimmings. Thanksgiving Together is a non-profit group working together with Grace Episcopal Church and St. John's Lutheran Church to organize these meals, supported by the generosity of our local businesses and individuals through donations of their time, talents and treasures. Thanks to all of these efforts, we have been able to succeed in this event for many decades. The free meal is served at noon and all are welcome. In addition, throughout the year a hot meal and warm companionship can be found every Saturday, with lunch served from 11:30 a.m. to 12 also at no charge, at either of these churches.
In current times, with many people not working and with natural and manmade disasters leaving people homeless or without the ability to provide for themselves, it's time for each of us to put aside our own needs and look to what our neighbor needs. God didn't put us together for us not to be together. God put us here to love one another as He loves us. My holiday wish for everyone is to love one another, care for one another and tend to the needs of others, whatever they may be.
[Laura Brownell is the administrator of the Thanksgiving Together Food Program, a non-profit organization serving hot meals not only at Thanksgiving, but also every Saturday throughout the year at Grace Episcopal Church and St. John's Lutheran Church in Honesdale, PA.]

For the past two years, the city has been trying to get an exploding feral pig problem under control at Hoomaluhia Botanical Park in Kaneohe.
Park users said they see feral pigs of all sizes, sometimes in groups of six.
Some said the problem was worse before the city began trapping two years ago. But it has not gone away.
"Just lately this past month in the afternoons, I have seen pigs about three or four times," said Daniel Smith.
City parks director Gary Cabato said the trapping is necessary to protect the public, his staff and the plants.
Cabato pointed out the fresh damage pigs created just this week.
"You can see where it starts. There is the trail that they follow and it leads to the area where it is all rooted," Cabato said.
Last week, staff snapped pictures of three large pigs including a boar.
The city has renewed a contract with the U.S. Agriculture Department to help with the problem.
Cabato said 225 pigs have been caught so far.
The contract with USDA states that snares can also be used, but the city is only using using the more humane box traps for live trappings.
The box traps are set deep in the park, away from the gardens where most of the public visits.
Cabato said the program has helped to avoid the conflicts in the park.
"Pig hunters and campers don?t mix," said Cabato. "There is camping on the weekends, so that?s especially dangerous."
"What the hunters would do is run their dogs off property, but then the pig would run on our property and the dogs would follow, and then the pigs would follow, so the hunters would follow," said Cabato. "If they would catch or kill the pig, the remains they would leave it for my staff to dispose of."
The pigs wallow areas, full of manure and urine, are also a breeding ground for mosquitoes and bacteria.
The city was also forced to install fencing around the more rare native plants to prevent the destructive rooting in various places around the park.
Cabato said the animal control contract includes all the city botanical gardens.
Koko Head Park has a problem with wild peacocks and the botanical gardens in Wahiawa has issues with feral chickens.

Dr. Rajiv Shah led the efforts of nearly 10,000 staff in more than 70 countries around the world to advance USAID's mission of ending extreme poverty and promoting resilient, democratic societies.
Under Dr. Shah's leadership, USAID applied innovative technologies and engaged the private sector to solve the world's most intractable development challenges. This new model of development brings together an increasingly diverse community—from large companies to local civil society groups to communities of faith—to deliver meaningful results.
Dr. Shah led President Obama's landmark Feed the Future and Power Africa initiatives and has refocused America's global health partnerships to end preventable child death. Feed the Future, alone, has improved nutrition for 12 million children and empowered more than 7 million farmers with climate-smart tools they need to grow their way out of extreme poverty. In April 2014, USAID launched the U.S. Global Development Lab to harness the expertise of the world's brightest scientists, students, and entrepreneurs. At the same time, the newly formed Private Capital Group for Development forges a more strategic relationship between private capital and development.
Dr. Shah also managed the U.S. Government's humanitarian response to catastrophic crises around the world, from the devastating 2010 Haiti earthquake to Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines to the Ebola epidemic in West Africa.
Through an extensive set of reforms called "USAID Forward," Dr. Shah worked with the United States Congress to transform USAID into the world's premier development Agency that prioritizes public-private partnerships, innovation, and meaningful results. He currently serves on the boards of the Overseas Private Investment Corporation and the Millennium Challenge Corporation, as well as participates on the National Security Council.
Previously, Dr. Shah served as Undersecretary and Chief Scientist in the U.S. Department of Agriculture, where he created the National Institute for Food and Agriculture. Prior to joining the Obama Administration, he spent eight years at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, where he led efforts in global health, agriculture, and financial services, including the creation of the International Finance Facility for Immunization.
He is a graduate of the University of Michigan, the University of Pennsylvania Medical School, and the Wharton School of Business. He regularly appears in the media and has delivered keynote addresses before the U.S. Military Academy, the National Prayer Breakfast, and diverse audiences across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Dr. Shah was awarded the Distinguished Service Award by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. He has served as a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader, been named to Fortune's 40 Under 40, and has received multiple honorary degrees.
He lives in Washington, D.C. with his wife Shivam Mallick Shah and three children and has given up mountain climbing for family bicycle rides.
Es un gran placer para mí estar aquí con todos Ustedes esta noche.
El gobierno de los Estados Unidos ha apoyado este premio por varios años. Estoy muy contento de que Semillas para la Democracia continúe con esta loable iniciativa, con el apoyo del sector privado y de organizaciones de la sociedad civil. Este es un gran ejemplo de cómo los paraguayos pueden trabajar juntos para mejorar el sistema de justicia.
It is my pleasure to be with you this morning to recognize the commitment of the Government of Tanzania to formalize Joint Border Committees. This commitment highlights years of cooperation between the Tanzanian and United States Governments, enabled by assistance provided by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), to reduce the time and cost of transporting goods across borders.
We are here today to help address the fact that almost 1 billion people across the globe go to bed hungry every night. To meet the needs of a world population expected to reach 9 billion by 2050, agricultural production will need to increase by at least 60 percent.
There is a strong consensus that agriculture plays a crucial role in any effort to reduce global poverty and hunger. Studies suggest that every one percent increase in agricultural income per capita reduces the number of people living in extreme poverty by between 0.6 and 1.8 percent.
Thirty years ago, the official development community was almost exclusively composed of international organizations like the World Bank and government agencies like USAID. But today, we live in a very different world.
Private investment in emerging economies has grown to dwarf official development assistance. And new technologies—perhaps most notably the mobile phone—have transformed the lives of billions of people in the farthest corners of the globe. In the last 15 years, the development community has dramatically expanded. It now includes innovators at universities—who have designed microscopes that attach to iPhones to diagnose malaria and solar-powered micro-grids to give children a light to read by at night. It includes philanthropists like Bill Gates and Mo Ibrahim, who have studied these issues deeply and can bring their private sector expertise to bear on solving challenges. And it includes banks and companies like Citi, Dupont, and Cargill who are increasingly seeking high risk, high return investments in some of the toughest parts of our world.
Taken together, these extraordinary new trends—the emergence of new technologies and the growth of our community—have transformed what's possible to achieve in development.
It is an honor for me to represent USAID/Vietnam to be here today at the Ceremony of International Day of Persons with Disabilities with the theme of: "Break Barriers, Open Doors: for an inclusive society and development for all".
Since the dawn of humanity, extreme poverty has crowded at the heels of progress—stifling hopes and undermining growth across the centuries. Today, we stand within reach of a world that was simply once unimaginable: a world without extreme poverty.
In the United States, with a dollar-and-a-quarter in your pocket, you can buy a bottle of water or a pack of gum. But for 1.2 billion people around the world, this is all they live on every day. No matter how much you adjust for the relative price of local commodities, a dollar-and-a-quarter is a desperately meager sum—and with it families must make daily choices among food, medicine, housing, and education. Every decision is a trade-off with potentially catastrophic consequences. Do you buy medicines for a sick parent, provide an evening meal for your children, or put a few pennies away towards a new roof or next year's school fees?
This is what we call extreme poverty.
The race to the skies helped build a constellation of satellites that provided the data we used last week to help move hundreds of thousands of people out of harm's way in the Philippines, and the invention of the computer chip and ARPANET, fundamentally a public/private enterprise, helped create a flourishing valley of entrepreneurs throughout our country but in particular in Silicon Valley, that have demonstrated to the world that it's possible to envision an entirely different future, profit from it, and also make sure that it reaches the farthest corners of the globe quickly. But today, our innovation economy must expand and change even more rapidly to an important, emerging new trend, and that trend is that the middle class around us is changing dramatically.
For centuries, less than 1 percent of the world's population enjoyed the privilege of a little bit of extra money in their pocket. By 1990, the global middle class numbered 1.8 billion people, but still mostly living in North America, Europe, and Japan. Over the last two decades, growth in emerging economies has turned billions of people into producers and consumers—creating both opportunity and challenges for the United States.
In a recent speech at Duke University, USAID Administrator Raj Shah told an audience that to provide food security for the 860 million people who go to bed hungry every night and to set communities on a path from dependency to resilience, we need new solutions and that means, quote, "not only working with long-standing research partners like Kansas State and Virginia Tech to develop new drought-tolerant seeds, but also harnessing the private sector to scale them."
In this short quote, Administrator Shah encapsulates two important ideas – and these ideas are the backdrop for my remarks today – our relationship with institutions of higher education is long-standing, special and has been, and will continue to be, critical to global development. But also, times are changing, the challenges are enormous, and the ever-expanding constellation of actors mandates that we approach our partnership differently.
I speak today to honor the important role that social workers can fulfill. In many countries including my own, social workers are recognized for the invaluable work they do with vulnerable children and people who are poor, disabled, or suffer disadvantages. They work in our schools, our hospitals, our prisons, and our government. The International Federation of Social Workers describes social work as an effort to "address the barriers, inequities and injustices that exist in society." What is more vital and laudable than that? Celebrating Social Work day is one way of recognizing the contributions of social workers around the world.
Social work as a profession in Vietnam is relatively new. You know the need to quickly increase the number of trained social workers. According to recent figures from MOLISA there are 6 million people with disabilities, nearly 3 million poor families and about 1.5 million children orphaned, abandoned, or who are victims of violence, abuse, or neglect. Within Vietnamese communities there are victims of family violence, drug and alcohol abuse, HIV/AIDS and homelessness. Their care and social and economic inclusion would be made easier through the attention of social work services.

It's time you brought some dignity back to the family vacay. Instead of shelling out thousands on Mickey Mouse everything, unwind in a castle. Yes, a real-life castle. And did we mention it's cheaper?
The 17th-century French Château de Sorel is just 47 miles outside of Paris (hello, Champs-Élysées and macarons). After you shop 'til you drop in the city, head back and settle into the country way of life. Fish private streams and explore nearby villages by bike. Your castle getaway even comes complete with moats and well-manicured gardens.
And the best part? The entire property sleeps 15 for $600 a night (a.k.a. everyone chips in $40). Cue the champagne.

Franklin Tells Yadi About Bengie's Cycle
5 Comments
hahahahaha I was shocked to find out he hit a stand up triple! Anything can happen indeed!
Only the great crew at RSBS could throw a photo collaberation together like that and still make it tie in so beautifully.
Classic Molina moment. I was worried after the triple that Bengie'slungs imploded on imapct with the clay around Third Base.
Wonder if Yadir will try and atretch out a double soon to try and show Bengie is not not alone.

Funny stuff. Miracles do happen in baseball, as well as strange facial hair.
'Minoring In Baseball'
Hyunyoung — Thanks!
Mimi — That's why baseball is the BESTEST!
RR — Yadi may not hit triples, but the dude will steal a base. Lookout!
Mike — Indeed. Lot of that weird facial hair going around the Redbird clubhouse.


text: I use a lot of fenugreek seeds in my cooking at home (Indian Food). What is the difference between the capsules and the seeds? I would feel much more comfortable using the seeds rather than the capsules, if I had a choice, since I know that so far I have never reacted badly to the seeds and they actually help with digestion and stuff. Plus I wouldn't have to spend a tonne of money on the exotic medicine

Honesdale approves CVS traffic pattern
December 26, 2012 —
The Honesdale Borough Council has approved the original traffic pattern plan proposed by CVS engineers. A motion to reject the pattern by council member Harry DeVrieze failed by a 4 to 3 vote. Juanita Pisano and Bob Jennings voted yes with DeVrieze to reject the plan with F.J. Monaghan, James Brennan, Michael Slish and Scott Smith voting no.
"I think there should be a better traffic pattern," DeVrieze said.
At the intersection of Fourth and Main streets directly in front of the proposed CVS building, which was formerly used by the DSFI Company, there will be three lanes: one for a left turn going east on Fourth, a second lane for traffic going directly into the CVS building and a third for a right turn going west on Fourth Street.
There was a discussion that the right turn lane was not wide enough to safely allow for large trucks.
"This discussion was much ado about nothing," said Tom Shepstone, who represented CVS. "We already have the approval of PennDOT."
"Still, the company was happy they got the council's approval, so it wasn't much ado about nothing," DeVrieze said.
