As we begin to seriously consider execution of plans in the New Year, your business leaders might be examining the next big markets for your products and services. We, at APICS, also have to keep our eyes on these developments because we want to make sure our channels are evolving to provide education and certification where it is needed. Therefore, the Harvard Business Review Blog Network article on emerging markets caught the attention of the whole newsletter team.
"I find more and more multinationals looking to new frontier markets for growth while demanding profitability from their emerging-market operations," writes Richard Leggett, CEO of Frontier Strategy Group, a provider of information services on emerging markets.
Leggett observes that executives still are investing heavily in Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa (BRICs), but they also are pursuing other emerging markets, the so-called "next frontiers." He outlines activities his firm is seeing in specific regions.
While China and India are still on company radar screens, Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is gaining momentum. These countries, which include Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Indonesia, have expanding middle classes who are young and live in urban areas—all signals that support private consumption.
In Latin America, Brazil and Mexico have slowing growth rates, while other countries, such as Peru, are showing promise. Leggett's firm estimates private consumption in Peru to grow 54 percent between 2010 and 2015. "Real increases in personal income and access to credit will support growth across all retail categories, but the automotive, consumer electronics, and food and drink sectors will outperform, as consumer taste becomes more sophisticated," Leggett writes.
Slow growth also permeates the traditional business centers in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Considering that 64 percent of Russia's gross domestic product is outside of Moscow and St. Petersburg, some investors are turning to Russia's regional markets through third-party distributors. These distributors enable companies to "build market share, strengthen their competitive position, drive profitability, and contribute to the country's long-term sustainability."
Lastly, it's no secret that many consider sub-Saharan Africa to be next on the list of emerging economy success stories. As South Africa's growth diminishes, Nigeria and Angola might become business hotbeds. For example, in Nigeria, car manufacturing is booming, with carmakers from all over the planet opening dealerships and building local assembly plants.
"In emerging markets, what began primarily as a growth strategy has evolved to a dual mandate of growth and profitability," Leggett writes. "Executives must act fast to capitalize on the final frontiers, while market share is still there for the taking."
Making supply chain part of overall strategy
Consider the following APICS Operations Management Body of Knowledge Framework definition: "The strategic plan typically looks three to five years into the future. It normally is reviewed annually, and sometimes quarterly, depending on market conditions. The plan, from an operations view, is to project plant and equipment needs and corresponding funding requirements."
With that definition in mind along with the opportunities I wrote about earlier, I know many of you are thinking about risk. That's a natural response. According to the APICS Supply Chain Risk and Reward Folio, risk itself may be unavoidable, but there may be choices on the specific risks you have to face based on the design and operation of the supply chain. It is critical to have answers to the following questions before pursuing business in an emerging economy: What is the reward for enduring the risk? Is the risk worth the reward?
For many business leaders, the increase in market share and profitability means the risks associated with operating in emerging markets are worth it. What it also means is that supply chain risk might take a place more at the forefront of business operations. Are you and your company ready?
APICS offers a wide variety of risk management education and resources. In addition to the APICS Risk Management Certificate, APICS also offers free reports and folios to members on a variety of relevant topics, including risk management.
APICS can help you and your company prepare for the "next frontier" of your business. Visit apics.org today.

Nvidia Corp. this week quietly introduced a new performance-mainstream graphics processing unit (GPU) called GeForce GTX 560. The new graphics board offers lower performance compared to the GeForce GTX 560 Titanium released earlier this year, but is also available at lower price-point and improves speed of its predecessor.
"Starting at $199, the GeForce GTX 560 joins its big brother, the previously launched GTX 560 Ti GPU, in delivering an awesome gaming experience in its price class for games running at 1080p, the world's most popular gaming resolution, according to Valve's Steam Hardware and Software Survey," a statement by Nvidia reads.
Nvidia GeForce GTX 560 graphics card is based on the GF114 graphics processing unit (GPU), an improved version of the GF104 made using 40nm fabrication process with reduced power consumption and improved layout. The model GTX 560 has 336 stream processing units, 56 texture units, 32 render back ends, 7 tessellation engines and well as 256-bit memory controller. Nvidia recommends to clock the GF114 chip of 560 at 810MHz - 950MHz, which means that its stream processors operate at 1620MHz - 1900MHz. The designer recommends partners to install 1GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 4GHz - 4.40GHz onto the GeForce GTX 560 graphics cards.
The novelty fully supports DirectX 11, OpenGL 4, OpenCL 1 as well as all the modern functionality, including hardware decoding of high-definition stereo-3D video and so on. In addition, the novelty supports Nvidia-exclusive features, such as CUDA-exclusive GPGPU software, PhysX and proprietary 3DVision stereo-3D feature.
When clocked at 810MHz/1620MHz, the GeForce GTX 560 delivers 1.08TFLOPS of single-point precision compute performance, whereas when operating at maximum 950MHz/1900MHz, the novelty can process 1.27 trillion of floating point operations per second (TFLOPS) with single-precision. The GeForce GTX 560 is clearly faster than the GeForce GTX 460 (which peak compute performance is 0.9TFLOPS) and the models with maximum clock-speed can compete even against more expensive GeForce GTX 560 Ti.
Given the fact that the vast majority of customers hardly notice the "Ti" moniker of the previously released graphics board, there will likely be a lot of disappointments, when customers find out that the GeForce GTX 560 (in its 810MHz/1.62GHz form) delivers substantially lower performance than the Titanium. Moreover, since Nvidia allows its partners to overclock graphics cards in order to differentiate themselves, it will be generally hard for inexperienced gamers to distinguish between factory-overlocked GeForce GTX 560, which will likely carry advanced and noisy cooling solutions, and stock GeForce GTX 560 Ti. Moreover, despite of similarities in performance, the more expensive Titanium version is larger than the typical GTX 560 and will thus not fit into many small systems.
The GeForce GTX 560 GPU is available starting today from the numerous add-in card partners, including ASL, Asus, Colorful, ECS, EVGA, Gainward, Galaxy, Gigabyte, Innovision 3D, Jetway, Leadtek, MSI, Palit, Point of View, PNY, Sparkle, Zotac and others.

Secretary Chu tours Wavebob, a leading wave power technology company in Ireland that is partnering with the United States to harness the clean, inexhaustible energy potential of America's coastal areas. Pictured is a prototype wave energy device, which at full scale would be 22 meters across and 50 meters tall, producing up to 1.5 megawatts of electricity per unit.
Secretary Chu and Daniel Rooney, the United States Ambassador to Ireland – as well as the former owner of the mighty Pittsburgh Steelers. The Ambassador briefed Secretary Chu about Ireland's ambitions toward renewable energy - a goal of 40 percent by 2020.
Secretary Chu visits Eirgrid, the Transmission Systems Operator for Ireland and Northern Ireland. Eirgrid is responsible for maintaining the reliability of the grid as Ireland moves toward its aggressive targets for renewables, almost all of which is from intermittent wind power. By 2020, Ireland plans to get 37 percent of electricity over the course of a year from wind (the remaining 3 percent coming from hydro). This is one of the most aggressive targets for wind power anywhere in Europe, putting the nation on the leading edge of figuring out how to accommodate large percentages of wind power.
Secretary Chu exits Leinster House, where he met with the Taoiseach (or Prime Minister) of Ireland, Brian Cowen, about working together to develop clean, renewable and carbon free sources of energy. This is the same building where in June 1963, President Kennedy addressed a joint sitting of both Houses of the Irish Oireactas, and presented the Civil War battle flag of the brave "Fighting Irish" 69th Brigade of the New York State Volunteers, which still hangs on proud display here.

The fit and finish is second to none.. Some advice for first time buyers. When installing the head rest covers, Leave the head rest mounted to the seat instead of removing them, per the instructions. The covers fit extremly tight which makes them hard to hold on too. The only down side I am experiencing is that they have a natural odor... Same as a Wet Suit... I am hoping that the odor wears off, like the new car smell does. It transfers to my clothing.. I would buy them all over again, knowing what I know today... Dan Butler, Pa

Join Corpus Christi Spook Central members as they go back to the Berclair Mansion on Friday, July 13. They won't just walk you around the outside of the Mansion; they will take you inside and allow you to explore and investigate the haunted history of this 22-room, 10,000-square-foot home constructed of steel and concrete that is the Berclair Mansion. The hardwood floors don't move, but voices and footsteps can be heard by visitors and staff. Hear these chilling tales and more as you explore the Berclair Mansions historic past.
Participants will be joined by members of Corpus Christi's foremost authority of paranormal investigations, Corpus Christi Spook Central. Corpus Christi Spook Central has been featured on Discovery Channel and the Travel Channel. With complete access to the CCSC Paranormal team you will be able to observe unique equipment in efforts to record and document possible paranormal activity. Guests are more than welcomed to bring their own voice recording devices (no cameras or video equipment will be allowed at this time, but you may bring a flashlight and/or voice recorder if you like).
Shirley O'Neil of the Beeville Art Association heard footsteps and voices while alone in the home once turning off lights. "I thought someone saw me come in and followed me," O'Neil said. "After I heard them, I went back through the house saying, 'Hello, hello, can I help you...?' "There was dead silence – no one there."
Two investigations will be offered on this date, 8-10 p.m. and 10 p.m. to midnight, and includes viewing evidence of past investigations. Proceeds from this event will go toward the ongoing restoration efforts of the Berclair Mansion.
The Berclair Mansion is on U.S. Highway 59 in the town of Berclair. Buy tickets early. Space is limited to 20 guests per investigation. The price is $25. Age limit 18 and up.
For more information, contact Nancy O'Neil with the Beeville Art Association at (361) 362-5823. Tickets will be available online only. No phone reservations.

Hey ladies
I dont post here much but lurk alot. I have a question about domperidone.
I was started on it when DS was maybe 2 months. Looking back it probably wasnt really need, he was just probably getting more efficient at nursing (I was concerned that he wasnt eating very long, etc.)
Anyways, I was on 30mg three times a day then went up to 40mg four times a day since. DS is almost 10 months old, and weighs 29 lbs, so he's definitely getting enough.
THing is I'm worried to stop now that it will affect my supply, but I think it's affecting my cycles and I want my fertility back (though I know this may just be from breastfeeding, domperidone can cause menstrual irregularities).
Should I try weaning off? How will I know if it is affecting my supply? DS eats solids now, and I usually wake him once eduring the night to nurse, if I dont I'm engorged in the morning.
But I DONT want to lose my supply!!
Oh, and my supply always seems low in the afternoon no matter what I do, so I dont want that getting worse.
What should I do???
Thanks for reading this novel!

Compliance rules trigger bonanza for consultants
More than 220 financial compliance companies have been set up in the past year in the UK as experienced staff capitalise on the finance sector's acute skill shortage by turning themselves into consultants at higher pay rates.
The data, from Companies House, shows how banks, asset managers and insurers are using contract staff as they are unable to hire staff with the skills they need.
JP Morgan, Legal & General, Pioneer Investments, Schroders, State Street and Standard Life are among the blue-chip brands that say they have hired external consultants, paid at contractor rates.
Charles Jones, head of compliance at Henderson Global Investors, described the current recruitment market as very competitive. He said: "It's a bubble, and when you're a buyer in a seller's market that's a challenge. We're operating in a very challenging environment… we're seeing insatiable demand for compliance roles but variable supply.
"We're also facing higher turnover of staff than most other functions, such as legal or finance, because it has become easy for junior staff, and indeed staff at any level, to move, given the incentive of say 20% to 30% premium in the market."
According to recruitment group Leathwaite, the big four accountancy groups have also benefited, having picked up considerable work as a result. Leathwaite said hundreds of people can be hired to work on projects for large financial groups at any one time.
Employers added that some of the hires in the current market are for fixed-term projects, however, to address a specific regulatory change or fix a problem.
For example, Pioneer Investments, a US-based asset manager, said it was hiring compliance staff on short-term contracts for a specific internal project.
A headhunter for director-level compliance roles, who asked not to be named, said experienced consultants could easily earn £1,000 a day and banks and asset managers are happy to pay it.
He added: "Firms are desperate. There is a real focus now to make sure that they are absolutely on top of regulatory compliance. Those firms are looking to on-board or recruit. It's either paying someone on an inflated salary or take somebody more junior and put them through training."
Huw Jones, director of the governance team (Emea) at Leathwaite, said that in some cases temporary or contract staff may be preferred to offer a "specific skill set" for an individual project. He added: "[There is a] huge opportunity for individuals with their own consultancy or willing to work on an interim basis. This is particularly the case for people with sanctions and anti-bribery and corruption experience."
Karen Jordan, head of compliance (International) at State Street, said: "Good talent is hard to find and one of the approaches we are considering is to develop our own experts by means of training and rotation programmes."
A recent survey by consultancy group Accenture found 86 of the 100 financial organisations in their sample said they expected to increase investment in compliance over the next two years.

The ACAA took second place in Customer Service Initiatives for the Military and Family Courtesy Center and second place in Print Advertising – Color for its ad to promote the new nonstop flight from Pittsburgh International Airport to Charles De Gaulle Airport (CDG) in Paris
The Military and Family Comfort Center opened in November of 2008 as a place for military and their family members to escape the hustle and bustle of the airport and to provide them with a quiet spot before they depart. The center, operated by volunteer Airport Ambassadors, offers traveling military personnel a place to relax and provides recreational activities. More than 1,400 people have visited the Center to date.
The full-page ad ran on the back of the main section of March 1, 2009 Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. It kicked off the campaign with impact and generated great response. The ad was also produced to help support and provide awareness of Pittsburgh International Airport's new European connection. Additionally, the ad provided travelers with information on booking tickets.
A total of 62 airports and airport authorities submitted almost 250 entries in the contest, which encompasses categories that recognize work in marketing and public relations, and provides airports the opportunity to be honored for the quality of their work. Awards are distributed in 20 categories ranging from brochures, advertising, marketing and public relations campaigns, newsletters, special events, video and film productions, to websites. Over a nine-day period, 31 communications and marketing professionals from the Washington, D.C.-area served as judges to review the entries submitted.

Anyone think we would've won this game if we were smart enough to give nate minutes and touches in the first half? Instead of wait till we are down 20 something? Also love how duhon takes the 3 at the end to try to tie it... CLASSIC!
My first game thread sure is exciting lol. The Knicks lost by 6, Bron Bron took over at the end. The Knicks looked lost on defense in the first half. Another hard loss to swallow. On a good note, Hill looked really good in the 4th quarter. And Gallo made a Nowitzi-like banker in the 2nd quarter.
Anyone think we would've won this game if we were smart enough to give nate minutes and touches in the first half? Instead of wait till we are down 20 something? Also love how duhon takes the 3 at the end to try to tie it... CLASSIC!
lebron hurts his hand, and suddenly the cavs look like ****.that dude does not get enough credit for taking that **** team where he's taking it.
lebron is just what the Knicks need. I hope he buys Walsh's pitch that NY city is a great place to play because he can't tell him we're winning or that D'Antonio is a better coach to play for than Mike Brown.
Nate blocking Shaq especially after what just happened on the other end of the floor is AWESOME.
I missed the game but caught the 60 minute preview....Lebron ran a 11-0 spurt on us in less than 2 minutes in the first quarter hitting on 3 3's.
Did this happen....
We were down by 20 points, and the Knicks lineup of "Hill, Jeff, Al, Nate, and Duhon" brought us back into the game to be down by just 3 points with 4 minutes left in the game?
What happen with Starters "Lee, Chandler, and Gallo"?????
they still hav'nt got over Nate in the starting-lineup ..........
Saw the first half and i gotta say Zydrunas ilgauskus did the most ridiculous thing i ever seen in a NBA game. Dude was posting David Lee and took his mouth piece out to readjust it while dribbling with 1 hand. It took like at least a couple seconds and all the knicks just stood there no one challenged him. I think had he made that basket i woulda nominated it for play of the year...just for the style involved. haha he said to David Lee you coudln't even guard me when i'm not taking this seriously.
It's performances like that which made all the Cavs Fan stand-up to react with a "WHOA-SHUUUT! little Nate got a fearless heart the size of a sky scrapper.".
It is hard to put a price-tag on Nate's value in the NBA.
Shaq new respect for Nate's payback had him lay on the court for 3 minutes to realize what just took place.
nice comeback but the defense in the 1st quarter was atrocious by the Knicks.
Lebron shytted all over us, just like we expected.
Every time he scored i envisioned him doing it in a K Knicks uniform lol

Angels Trade Casey Kotchman and Stephen Marek to Atlanta for Mark Teixeira
"Finally, you really did it! You maniacs! You blew it up! Damn you! God damn you all to Hell!"
Charlton Heston
Planet of the Apes
Would you trade fifteen years for three months?
That's what the Angels may have done today when they swapped Casey Kotchman and Stephen Marek to the Atlanta Braves for Mark Teixeira.
The switch-hitting Teixeira has been one of the more prolific power hitters in the major leagues during his career. He hit 43 homers in 2005 and 33 in 2006 for Texas. After hitting another 13 for Texas in 2007, he was swapped to the Braves on July 31 for a boatload of prospects.
Teixeira didn't do the Braves much good, which should be a warning to those who think flushing the farm system for a "name" somehow guarantees a world championship. (Believe me, those people are out there. Read the fan boards.) Not his fault, but individuals don't win championships. Teams do.
So trading Casey Kotchman, one of the best young hitters in the game, along with bullpen prospect Stephen Marek for Teixeira strikes me as giving in to all those instant gratification people who scream "Win NOW!!!" without thinking about what happens next year and beyond.
Teixeira, 28, is a free agent at season's end. His agent is Scott Boras. Teixeira didn't sign an extension with the Braves, his hometown team, so why should we think he'll sign an extension with the Angels?
If the Angels had been patient, in another few months they could have signed him on the open market. If successful, they could have then traded Kotchman for whatever they could get.
Does Teixeira guarantee a world championship? Of course not. He never won one with the Rangers, and he didn't win one with the Braves. Again, not his fault, but one player does not make a champion.
Even if the Angels do manage to sign Teixeira to an extension, all they did was acquire him for two months and the post-season. Was it worth Kotchman and Marek? Did swapping Kotchman for Teixeira somehow significantly increase the statistical probability of winning the World Series? Of course not.
The post-season is pretty much a crap shoot. Some among fandom and the press have insisted the Angels could not win the World Series without a second "big bat" to complement Vlad Guerrero, our own version of Boston's David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez. Yet the Angels won their seventh in a row tonight against Boston, which is slumping in the A.L. East, and all seven were achieved without that "big bat." In fact, Boston might not even reach the post-season.
Casey Kotchman was about as "Angel" as they come. I can't imagine him leaving for free agency. His dad, Tom Kotchman, is the most successful manager active in the minor leagues and is revered throughout the Angels system. Casey was raised in the organization from birth. He hung out with his dad during summers in Edmonton and Boise. If anyone was raised to be an Angel, it was Casey. And he'll be far more affordable than Teixeira for at least the next five years, maybe longer.
Should Teixeira leave, the Angels will have to acquire another 1B on the free agent market, trade for one, or hand over the position to Kendry Morales. They will have lost Kotchman for three months of Teixeira.
The Angels already had the best record in baseball. Their divisional lead was already over ten games. This trade was wholly unnecessary to reach the post-season. Does having Teixeira instead of Kotchman at first base during the playoffs make that big of a difference to justify renting him?
Color me skeptical.
But the instant gratification crowd finally got their wish. After all those years of patience and wisdom under Bill Stoneman, the Angels finally gave in and made a knee-jerk trade sacrificing the future for the present.
I wonder what they'll say if the Angels don't win the World Series and Teixeira leaves.

"Should Teixeira leave……… They will have lost Kotchman for three months of Teixeira."
They would've lost Kotch for three months of Tex and two draft picks, unless I'm misstaken.
My final judgment on this trade will be contingent on two things. 1) did the Angels win the 2008 World Series. And 2) whether Tex signs with the Angels. If he does sign then this will be a considerable upgrade for the Angels longterm. One worth the cost. I like Kotchman but even with him the team slg % is at .400. The swith hitting Tex provides power and some lineup agility. His glove is slightly better than Casey's. If Arte's gonna spend millions on the likes of Jeff Weaver and Mathews jr. then might as well open up the vaults for someone who can actually play this game well.
You're exactly right with this analysis. It's hard for me to believe that Kotchman is gone and has been replaced with a man who was hitting home runs against us just over a year ago.
The instant gratification crowd is the same group that started following the Angels when they finally became good. And they'll be the first to leave when the Angels start to decline.
It seems that Arte Moreno continues to pander to this instant gratification crowd by signing the biggest name on the market year after year. It's hard to watch as the team that I love becomes the Yankees of the West Coast.
I suppose we need to remember that this is a business and they are in it to make money. But what is the fun in winning a World Series that has been bought? 2002 was great because it was won by a groups of guys we watched develop. If we win in 2008 I think it's going to be a little less exciting.
Not a very good trade. It's hardly clear that Teix will be the answer to the Angels' power issues, though he does provide decent insurance for Vlad over the remaining two months of the season. In any event, it does seem likely that the Angels' moment is now, because the outfield will be a mess (the team is almost certain to be without GA's services next year, Vlad will be even less valuable, and Juan Rivera is going to be a free agent), the rotation will be minus Jon Garland, Frankie Rodriguez will probably be lost to free agency … 2009 is going to be a hard year for the Angels to swallow.
The 2001 Mariners won 116 games, and looked for the world like the class of the AL that year. They didn't get past the ALDS.
I say "Win by your team or lose by your team". Stop trying to win with your payroll. Kotchman is baseball not just the Angels. What the Angels need more than anything for long term success of the franchise is Tradition. Kotchman is tradition.
I am not too happy with the trade for a few slefish reasons,along with a few practical ones. First,Steve Marek lived with my family while he was with the Quakes,and we are close to him.We wanted to see him become an Angel someday. And as far as Casey goes,in my eyes anyway,he was going to be the next "Mr. Angel",ala Tim Salmon. Casey was on his way to becoming a big time player. He might not have ever hit 40 hrs,but the halos are winning. We dont play the long ball game. If I remember correctly, in 2002, we won it all by playing small ball. Now the questions begin- Will we win the world series? Who are we going to re up, Mark or Frankie? And the win now crowd,the ones who never went to a halo game before 2002, lets see how this works out. It did not work for the Mets or Baltimore in the past.
If Kotchman cared about self-promoting and personal stats (which he doesn't), he would love this trade. He will tear up the National league and probably hit 30-40 dingers in that launching pad in Atlanta!
Good for him, bad for us!
This trade made me sick and then it made me excited and then made me a little sad until I had time to think about it.
Casey is an true Angel and will be missed, but we have to get past the emotions of losing family and look st the facts. Casey ranks 21 of 25 eligible 1B for OPS in MLB. He is 16th in RBI's 18th in HR's and 20th in OBP. He is a very average or below average 1B at the plate.
Plain and simple Tex is hands down a better player. The playoffs don't matter anymore. The formula of small ball has been great for the regular season, but we do need a guy who can change the game with one swing and also a guy who can get on base and put pressure on the opposing pitchers.
Today it doesn't matter if we resign Tex or not. That is a discussion for after the season and for future debate. Let's see how the season plays out first.
Sounds like Kotch was happy to be traded. Not that any of you Kool-Aid drinkers will take an solace in that.
This was a win-win baseball trade. The Angels got B-E-T-T-E-R with this deal and so did the Braves. I figure it needed to be spelled out for some on here.
And who gives a rip about how long people have been Angels fans? Blah, blah, blah. That has nothing to do with anything. Would you rather have the bandwagon completely empty? Yeah, the team'd really get far that way…
The fact is the Angels actually sold high for once rather than waiting for Kotchman and Marek to turn into Dallas McPherson and Steven Shell.
Boras and Reagins clearly have some deal in the works otherwise Teixeira wouldn't have been moved to the Angels as quickly and painlessly. They'll pay him for a couple years until Trumbo is ready. Then you'll have your local Mr. Angel…

Financial Assistance
Environmental Quality Incentives Program
Loading Tree...
Application Deadline March 15, 2013 - News Release
Through the National Water Quality Initiative (NWQI), the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is offering financial and technical assistance to farmers, ranchers and forest landowners interested in improving water quality and aquatic habitats in priority watersheds with impaired streams. NRCS will help producers implement conservation and management practices through a systems approach to control and trap nutrient and manure runoff. Qualified producers will receive assistance for installing conservation practices such as cover crops, filter strips and tailwater recovery systems. For over 75 years, NRCS has provided agricultural producers with assistance to implement voluntary conservation practices that protect natural resources while maintaining production and profits.
Arkansas's three watersheds were selected based on the high amount of sediment and total phosphorus concentration that flow into tributaries of the Bayou Bartholomew watershed. Deep Bayou and Jacks Bayou, which flow through the watersheds, have been identified as impaired waterways because of excessive levels of siltation primarily from agricultural practices. The three watershed total 62,473 acres in parts of Jefferson and Lincoln counties.
NRCS conservation professionals will provide technical assistance and planning tools to determine which conservation actions will provide the best results to improve water quality on your land and meet your objectives. Nutrient management systems, erosion control, conservation tillage, pest management, and buffers systems are just some of the practices being offered as part of the National Water Quality Initiative. To help install these conservation practices, financial assistance to share in the cost of these conservation practices is available though the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP).
NRCS identified priority watersheds through the help of local partnerships and state water quality agencies. Partners sometimes offer financial assistance in addition to NRCS programs. NRCS will continue to coordinate with local and state agencies, conservation districts, nongovernmental organizations and others to implement this initiative. This strategic approach will leverage funds and provide streamlined assistance to help individual agricultural producers take needed actions to reduce the flow of sediment, nutrients and other runoff into impaired waterways.
Water quality conservation practices benefit agricultural producers by lowering input costs and enhancing the productivity of working lands. Conservation investments are good for all Americans because well managed farms limit pollution from runoff, produce food and fiber, sustain rural economies, and provide food security to the Nation. All across the country farmers, ranchers and forest landowners are voluntarily taking action and putting conservation on the ground to improve water quality on millions of acres!
NRCS is proud to be involved in a nationwide effort with landowners and communities to improve and protect our water resources. The landowners and farmers participating in the initiative will receive conservation payments to work on the land in a sustainable way which provides cleaner water. In addition to the financial assistance, the land will remain productive into the future. Communities benefit by having clean waterways, safer drinking water and healthy habitat for fish and wildlife.
Almost every county in the Nation has a USDA Service Center. To get started, make an appointment at your local office. You will need to establish eligibility and farm records for your land. NRCS will help you complete an application while explaining which conservation practices are available in your watershed. Remember to check with your local NRCS office to see if you are located in a selected watershed.

Healthy Moms
I saw this in The Stir - Do you agree that taking care of yourself is a part of being a good parent?
Taking Care of Yourself is Part of Taking Care of Your Kids
I've been doing yoga for about 16 years, longer than I've been a parent. When I practice consistently, I feel almost like a different person: Calmer, more energetic, fewer aches and pains. Stress-related stomach problems are more manageable, tension headaches fade. My overall mood improves.
The perks are undeniable. So why do I rarely unroll my yoga mat these days? Simple: Because I'm the single, working mother of 2 kids, and that crazy thing called "me time" is in short supply. I'm pretty much okay with that -- I've always told myself that self-denial is just part of the parenting deal. Maternal instinct tells us to put our kids first. Maternal instinct told me to put my kids before yoga.
So I was surprised when my kids told me to do the opposite.
It came up one day as we were walking past a yoga studio. My daughter, who is 4 years older than my son and has fuzzy memories of the Mommy & Me yoga classes that served as a lifeline during those first few years of motherhood, stopped and looked at me. "Hey, remember when you used to do yoga all the time? Why don't you anymore?"
"I just don't really have the time," I said. "Between you guys and work and stuff, I'm too busy."
"You should start doing it again," said my daughter. "You were kind of happier when you did yoga. Like, not so stressed. Don't worry about us," she added, gesturing at my son. "We want you to be happy."
"Yeah," said my son. "It would be good for you."
I stared at them in disbelief. Where did these thoughtful, wise creatures come from? Then it hit me: A stressed mom = stressed kids. I'm no good to them when I'm a ball of anxiety with a stiff neck and throbbing temples.
It's funny. As parents, we're all familiar with the airline safety cliché: If the plane's going down, put your own oxygen mask on before your kid's (the concept being that you won't be much use to your child if you can't breathe). Common sense, really, which theoretically should apply to parenting in general, in-flight or not. But, as with so many things -- this is easier said then done. No matter how hungry we are, we make sure the kids get fed before we do. We make sure they're under the umbrella even if it means we get soaked. We put our own needs and wants on the backburner for so long they burn out or boil away.
This is what's best for our kids, we tell ourselves. But my kids told me the opposite, and I think I'm going to listen. Because what's good for me is good for them.
Do you feel bad about taking take time for yourself?
i have two kids ages 3 and 7 so im busy, but i try to do things here and there to help me relax and be happy. little breaks. simple stuff like reading a magazine or painting nails while my son naps. i wanted to take a yoga or zumba class. or sign up for ymca, fun for the whole fam! i want to lose weight and be healthy. and i feel like im a better more happy mom/wife if i take little time here and there..."recharge my batteries" i want to do a litle spa day with my mom as a xmas gift to her...so well see

Friendly atmosphere, helpful staff and good breakfast. Excellent location - 5 to 10 minutes to City center, yet the hotel is in a very quiet street.
Cosy room and lounge, helpful staff, excellent location, nice parrot
quiet hotel, good for buisness
It is a modern, clean, well accessible hotel. The buffet breakfast was abundant, contained also vegetables.
In the room was a little bit chilly.
parking place is so small
excellent location, stylish, comfortable room, helpful staff.
quiet room, descent breakfast buffet
The location at the centre of the shopping area close to most of the facilities.
Comfort and location is perfect!
Too much expensive
Very large rooms, and very quiet too. Free 24/24 cable internet. Friendly staff. Free outside car park just in front of the hotel. Not far away from city centre. I walked and it took me 30 min.
Breakfast is basic but ok.
nice room, good spa center and smart free parking, wonderfoul breakfast
Wireless very slow and restaurant closed on tuesday...very strange
the location of the hotel is great, surroundings are nice, a lot of possibilities for leisure activities, stuff is attractive, breakfast is perfect.
room cleaning could be better and change of linen should be more regular
I liked the central location, had mini fridge and microwave.
Not for single female travelers or travelers outside Finland. NO FRONT DESK! No phone in the room for emergency. I did not have cell phone access in Finland - impossible to get the code to enter hotel - my room without it.
The room we booked could sleep 3 people.
We did not like that the hotel had no staff. We were traveling with limited wifi since coming from the U.S. and did not receive code for doors. We had to call for help to get codes and that was difficult. Also, parking was a problem. Elevator was dirty.
I have stayed in several hotels in Turku before; this was my first time in Cumulus, and I was pleasantly surprised by the cmfort and peacefulness of the room. The bed was extremely comfortable (important at my age!), and all facilities in the room were good. There was an excellent breakfast table, and it was served in a large, well-lit room overlooking the street. It has an excellent location, in the town centre, but within easy walking distance of the main sightseeing places of the town. It is clearly used to catering for families - I never saw so many babies in one hotel! Perfect for family breaks, but also well-accustomed to catering for the business traveller.
The location, staff and canniness of rooms is excellent. Nice sauna which is also free and good breakfast. On the whole - a nice hotel.
Free tea, coffee and tasty treats in the room
Slow lifts
Friendly staff. Decent breakfast. Sauna!!
Can't think of anything...
Close to the city of Turku
the service was excellent in terms of the behaviour of the hotel staff. Also the breakfast was quite satisfactory.
the room was not in such a proper condition as hotel rooms are supposed to be.
The breakfast was quiet good. The staff was helpful, when we asked some information.
to noisy. Noise from street.
God frokost.
sauna was very good
you get what you see
Water park is not bad, .
it is not convinient that it is not possibl to pay for the car parking at the hotel. and it takes time to wait for the elevator.
Good breakfast. Kind staff.
The prospect of negotiability and of course the price.
The limited amount of rooms allthough a wide warriety of options
Staff was cooperative and nice
Here's why:
We're not the seller.
At KAYAK we don't set the prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We compile tonnes of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we can't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find, on occasion, that certain prices are no longer available.

Posted on 05/14/2012 11:20:08 AM PDT by tcrlaf
Unable to reach a deal with its lenders, upstart wireless carrier LightSquared will file for bankruptcy Monday, according to two sources with knowledge of the company's plans.
The move has been widely expected, since the company's options for appeasing its creditors were running out. LightSquare's lenders claim that it has been in default on its debt since its $9 billion partnership with Sprint Nextel
(Excerpt) Read more at money.cnn.com ...
First we had Solyndra, followed by Beacon Power and Open Range, EnerDel, A123, THINK!, etc., with a campaign-financing detour to MF Global. Now LightSquared...
YOUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK, electing Democrats!
Hopefully, this will finally derail LightSquared's technology that would have killed GPS signals.
If the companies were viable, they wouldn't have needed a bailout in the first place. They would be raking in cash faster than they could put it to work...........
" If the companies were viable, they wouldnt have needed a bailout in the first place. They would be raking in cash faster than they could put it to work..........."
Where's the list of failed "Obamah Investments"?
wow that was "unexpected" Never seen that coming.. /sarc/
I never expected this to really happen.
Glad to see the wooden stake hammered into its heart at last.
I think the Obama's deserve another vacation. Destroying America is exhausting "work"
This is wonderful news, because LightSquared's technology was found in repeated tests to screw up most private GPS systems.
I could be wrong but I don't think Lightsquared got bailout money. What started out as special treatment in getting access to this spectrum turned out to be a head fake that tricked them into investing $billions of private capital only to have the rug pulled out from beneath them.
Don't misunderstand, it would have been a debacle if they had been allowed to use this spectrum.
Joke's on us, though.
These companies were INTENDED to go bankrupt.
They are simply money laundering schemes to rob your grandchildren and pay off 0bama's donors.
Maybe I missed it when I read the article, but I saw no mention - none - of the fact that Lightsquared received billions from Obama or that managers and financial guys bundled milliosn for Obama in return. Not one peep. So who is more guilty Lightsquared or the corrupt MSM who deliberately hide this information?
This country cannot afford another 4 years of this thug..........
i thought he had personal investment in this? as in his own money.
Good riddance! Anyone with the slightest knowledge of satellite vs ground based radio signals knows you can not use the same spectrum for the two at the same time.
Remeber all the main stream coverage when the Administration tried to get Gen Shelton, CC of Space Command, to alter his congressional testimony about the effects of L2 on GPS? Remember all that coverage? Me neither.
Right on. Just like Mel Brooks' play/movie "The Producers". Also, an old Chicago mob ploy called a 'bust-out'.
LightSquared's business plan was to interfere with the GPS system.
You are right. They seem to have gotten zero from President Obama's stash. But being Democrat mega-donors they were exerting enormous pressure on the O Regime to get regulatory approval, which was denied.
I thought of that also. Good riddance to bad tech, hopefully.
That's the real story here.
This is why central planning never succeeds.
"I'll tell you something. This country is going to the dogs. You know, it used to be when you bought a politician, that son of a bitch stayed bought." Roy L. Fuchs
It sure is, and without the testimony of Gen. Shelton, Falcone and this corrupt administration would have more than likely pulled this off, I have much respect for Shelton.
I thought Obama had a 4G for the masses plan. Didn't he talk that up a while ago? It seemed obvious that Lightsquared was positioned to be the vehicle for this, and would have gotten federal money as a supplier to the program.
That's a good line. Kind of like the hack, George Washington Plunkitt, who expounded on graft and why he only practiced honest graft
"I thought Obama had a 4G for the masses plan."
The welfare masses already can get free cell phones...so just up that to free smart phones
This may be the biggest corporate f***-up in U.S. history. Sinking billions of dollars into a comm technology that shuts-down GPS navigation — our primary military targeting system and civil fixing system. Meanwhile, in receivership Calypso Wireless (in which I have stock) has the patent on the technology that would probably have allowed them to succeed.

Effects of heavy stocking on native fish
I can't help but wonder if heavy trout stocking on local tailwaters has a significant negative impact on native fish, like bass, walleye, and panfish. It is widely known and published by several biologists that trout stocking has negative effects on wild trout, so it seems that it would also negatively effect ohter native fish (even nongame species). One river that stands out in my mind is the Holston. This river is LOADED with smallmouth and largemouth bass from its confluence with the French Broad all the way upstream to Nance's Ferry. Bass numbers begin to decline from Nance's Ferry all the way up to Cherokee Dam, which just so happens to be the stretch of water that we all know is heavily stocked by TWRA with rainbow and brown trout. I'm aware that many people have caught bass in this stocked stretch, but I am afraid that it will soon be nearly void of bass, just like its northern neighbor, the Clinch River. Trout have been stocked in the Clinch tailwater (below Norris Dam) for longer than the Holston, and there are very few bass below the Dam until you get to Highway 61. I hope this will not be the case on the Holston, but I fear that it will be because of the similarities in habitat between the two rivers. Even the Little River in my native Blount County has much less aquatic diversity in the stocked section. I have a bachelor's degree in wildlife and fisheries management and I have learned enough to know why TWRA stocks these waters with trout-- MONEY! What I don't understand is why I cannot find a published scientific study on this subject. There are several published studies on the effects of stocking on wild rainbows and browns as well as native brookies, but nothing on any ohter fish species. If anyone runs across such a study, please let me know. Don't get me wrong, I love to fish both of these tailwaters for trout, and do so frequently, but imagine the potential negative effects on the fisheries as a whole. We all know that concern over just one little fish species (i.e. snail darter in the Little Tennessee in 1976) can potentially turn the fishery upside down. Granted, smallmouth are in no danger of going extinct, but that is no reason to replace them in some habitats with non-native fish. I'm sure there are people on this message board with more knowledge on the subject than me, so please share!
I think you have posted a very good question. I'm no biologist but I do fish for Smallies and other warm water species in the rivers as much as possible. I believe it has more to do with the water temps below the Holston, Clinch and several other cold water discharge dams, than the fact that the trout have a negative impact. It goes back to the comfort zone of each species. The sunfishes prefer a warmer temperature range than the trout, so they would naturally move to warmer areas of the rivers. If the water temps constantly stay below this range , they won't spawn and inhabit those upper sections of the river. http://www.tnfish.org/SpawningTemper...essee_TWRA.htm
I have fished for Smallmouth on the Holston quite a bit over the past several years, and I agree that it is much more productive below Nances Ferry. I have caught them above it, but this past year with all the big releases from the dam, there seemed to be few smallies caught in those areas. I can remember water temps around 50-52 deg. at NF in August.
Maybe we should email Jim Negus or Rick Bevins at TWRA for some more info on this.
I completely agree with what Troutman said about the water temps vs. the stockers in relation to where smallies are found. The reason they would have a negative impact on the wild trout is of course because they share the same areas of the water. Smallies are such an aggressive and hardy species that I would find it hard to believe that stockers would really impact them that much. Of course there would be some food going to the stockers that the smallies would not get, but overall the temps would be the biggest reason for the lack of smallies in that area of the river. Same goes for the Tellico. I had a client catch a smallmouth at the bottom of Bald River Falls and I could not believe it. That is the farthest point that I have seen a smallmouth in over 25 years of fishing that area. And the reason is simple. The temps are just too low that high up most of the time (except for that little guy I guess!) Anyway, like TM said, I am not a biologist, but I have fished and guided for trout and smallmouth for years, and that is the only reason I can come up with for the lack of smallies in that area of the Holston.
I caugth a 14" smallmouth in that same spot last year and thought the same thing. Warmer water higher up = smallmouth higher up
Thanks for the replies. I wonder if there is a dam somewhere in the surrouding area that has cold hypolimnetic discharges like the Clinch and Holston that we could use for comparison. The discharge at the top of Chilhowee Lake on the Little T. comes to mind, but it is more of a lake habitat than a flowing river. The discharge is usually around 55 degrees, sometimes a little colder, but there are plenty of bass and trout in this area, which brings up an interesting question. Is this because upper Chilhowee is not stocked as heavily as the Clinch and Holston, or is it because Chilhowee is a lake habitat, or is it simply that the Little T. is far more fertile than the Clinch and Holston? No telling. Can you guys think of any really cold tailwaters that aren't stocked with trout?
Poked around some more on TWRA's site and found a little more info. Not very technical but it does basically say the cold water releases below specific TVA Dams impact the natural species to the river systems.
The reason for the stocking.
and another list of the affected dams in region 4
I'm sure they have numerous studies.
Maybe you could talk to Roy Hawk, at one of the LRCTU meetings. He is pictured holding that nice fat bow.
I was also trying to think of places that have some cold water discharges and still have cold and warm water species. The only place that comes to mind is the Powerhouse at the TN/NC stateline at exit 451 on I-40. I have caught trout, smallmouth and gills below the powerhouse and the water discharged is pretty cold. I think the trout come in from Big creek which is stocked outside the park and possibly from the creek that follows upstream along I-40 to the dam.
This may not be a good comparision to the TVA cold release dams though.
Think about Little River
Taking Little River as an example; at the lake and up a couple of miles you will catch largemouth and smallmouth, then more smallmouth and rockbass.......and bluegill, then the bluegill and rockbass fade out and you have smallmouth and some trout. At some point below Metcalf you begin to catch trout almost exclusively. It is the temps. On warm water years the smallies move further upstream and vice-versa. I have caught some pretty ratty trout as far down stream as Walland below the bridge at Elijay (sp?) creek. I'm not a scientist, I just play one on television! And I stayed at a Holiday Inn Select once..............!
water temps
Thanks for the links troutman. So the coldwater hypolimnetic dishcharges actually removed most native fish and left the immediate tailwaters virtually void of any recreational fishing opportunity. Crazy. And the reason that they stock the tailwaters is so we can fish for at least something. Well thank God. I think we all concluded that water temps are the main factor in determining which species will be where. I just wish all rivers could be like the Little Tennessee and have an extreme abundance of all species we discussed. A little selfish, maybe, but I like to catch 'em all! It almost seems like the stocking on this river helps not only the recreational opportunities but also provides food for big predators, like the monster stripers below Chilhowee Dam. Thanks for the help guys
Monster stripers below Chilhowee dam
Had not heard about those fish. I didn't realize Fort Loudon or Tellico had been stocked with Striper. Most of the other dams have them though, why should that one be any different.
I wish I had had the chance to fish the Little T, it must have been fantastic.
The way old timers talk, the Little T was the place to be before '76. I know its not like it used to be, but it is still a blast to fish. I love fishing for trout and bass in Chilhowee and upper Tellico. Calderwood also has lots of trout. Im like you, jswitow, the stripers in Tellico definitely suprised me. I had heard people say they caught them below Chilhowee dam, but I thought they pulling my leg. Then I caught one next to the historic Fort Loudoun in Vonore and couldn't believe it! (I was bass fishing and thought i had the world record) But the more I thought about it, if they are below Cherokee and Douglas dams, they could (theoretically) swim all the way to Chilhowee dam because Ft Loudoun and Tellico are connected by canal. That seems farfetched, but stripers are a migratory saltwater fish, so 40-50 river miles probaly is like a daily workout to them.

A blog about my journey with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome including HHV 6, EBV, C. Pneumonia, Bartonella, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, and Biotoxin Illness
Friday, January 29, 2010
Back to Basics
I'm a bit discouraged because it seems I've been in a decline since October. I keep waiting for a return to my previous baseline functioning but so far it remains as elusive as a butterfly. I haven't been pushing myself because I've spent the past 2 plus months in bed for 20 hours per day. It must be the fact that I've had to severely restrict my diet to avoid the upper right side quadrant pain. In spite of eating about 1000 calories per day (I'm completely sedentary) I'd say I've lost a good 30 plus pounds at this point and still losing. I've added Ensure just to get more calories. It tastes great but doesn't make me feel all that great because it has a lot of sugar in it but also 230 calories and nutrients both of which I need.
My endoscopy is Tuesday at 8:00 a.m. I'm nervous about it and have been going in and out of fear at what might be going on. I haven't a clue. I keep thinking of what Toni said in her comments and it helps.
I'm working on dealing with my ever growing anxiety so I'm back to listening to relaxation exercises, etc....to get my body to calm down.
I've stopped all treatments except for Famvir, hydrocortisone, thryroid med, sleep meds, and calcium/magnesium supplements until I find out what's going on.
I'm trying to do some work on my attitude. I feel zero sense of spirituality and it what I most want and need right now. So I downloaded a bunch of guided imagery from itunes in the hopes that it will reawaken a spiritual sense as well as a sense of meaning.
I don't know that I'll post again prior to the endoscopy but I'll keep you all posted on the results if I get them that day....
Peace and Health to All...

Hi Terri,
Since my words were helpful, I'm going to tell you again how it was for me. Twenty years ago when I had this kind of anesthetic it was like being hit by a truck. But now I've had this "twilight sleep" anesthetic they use twice (once for the endoscopy and once for a colonoscopy). It was so incredibly gentle. They just let it go through the IV drip slowly and you just feel good. I felt no discomfort at all after the endoscopy (after the colonoscopy there was some bloating). They told me that I might forget things I said in the half hour or so after the stuff wore off and that proved to be the case (you'll need to have someone drive you home).
When I look at all the struggles you've been through the past year, I honestly feel that this endoscopy is going to be a breeze, Terri. Please try not to worry about it.

Hi Terri,
I'll add to what Toni said. My daughter, Jessie, has had two endoscopies, one when she was 15 and another this year (16). She did great with both. In fact, when it was over we went straight out to get some breakfast. She took it easy the rest of the day, but it was a breeze.
All my best,

Oh, Terri, I'm sorry to hear you're still struggling so much. I could relate to the start of this post - I, too, have been in a relapse since October and wondering if I'll ever get back to where I was before...but I'm no where near as incapacitated as you are, so I won't complain.
You are in my thoughts and my prayers. I hope that your endoscopy goes well and you get some answers to put your mind at ease.

This must be scary. Someone told me when I was fearful once that it was OK to be scared. It really helped, so I shall say the same to you - it's ok to be scared, it's a scary thing. It's the unknown, but not for much longer.
I'll be thinking of you on Tuesday. Take care.

I'm so glad to hear from you, Terri. It's good to know that on Tuesday you'll have more information about what's going on and we're all hoping that information is 'no problem there'. Relapses are so difficult, esp when you know that another health problem is involved, too.
Do you have any family nearby to help you with groceries or drive you to appointments when needed? You've not mentioned anyone, so I'm concerned about that.
You're in my thoughts.

Hi Terri
Just wanted you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers as you go in for this test. All will be well ~ God is with you. Sorry you have been losing so much weight. Goodness!
You have had such a tough time in the past few months. Hopefully this will give you direction!
Jo is so right, some things are scary and especially the unknown. So glad Toni could explain it all to you. That will help somewhat I am sure.
Keeping you lifted up...

I just wanted to add my encouragement to that of our fellow CFS bloggers! I've added you to my prayer list, and my thoughts are with you. We all know how disheartening long-winded relapses are, not to mention how scary a new medical problem is (esp. since it's so hard to decipher sometimes from a baseline of various mysterious medical ailments). I really hope that your endoscopy goes well and that they find a way to make you feel better soon! I'm sure you've heard this suggestion before, but when I'm doing particularly poorly, it helps me to keep a gratitude journal. Writing down 5 things that I'm thankful for is hard at first when I'm feeling frustrated with my body/life, but after a few days it always really helps me to focus on the good things because, really, there is always SOME good. I hope that you find something positive to focus on to pull you through such dark times! We don't really know each other, in the real world sense, but if you ever need someone to talk to who understands, feel free to shoot me a line via email or over at my blog-- I'm more than willing to stand by a fellow patient, especially when life just seems to keep throwing you curveballs! Peace and love to you, Terri.
- January 30, 2010 at 8:15 PM
Terri, I just read this post, and by now your procedure is well over with, I hope it went well and that they managed to find causes for your pain.
Know that you're not alone with this.
Take good care and take it easy. Kati

Hi, I was wondering if you are trying organic, high-nutrient superfoods such as "Green Vibrance," or "Living Fuel," or juicing organic vegetables, wheatgrass, etc. All have helped me tremendously, they are all naturally healing and help oxygenate the blood. Must-try! The body can heal itself.
