On November 24, 2011, Ambassador Ertharin Cousin, U.S. Representative to the United Nations Agencies for Food and Agriculture, and Ambassador Tony Hall, former U.S. Representative to the United Nations Agencies for Food and Agriculture, published an opinion piece in the Huffington Post. The Ambassadors discussed hunger around the world and international efforts to provide assistance to those suffering from hunger and under-nutrition in the Horn of Africa. The text of their piece follows.
"As we celebrate Thanksgiving today, we ponder all the things we are thankful for: the joy our family brings us, our good health, the people we love, our jobs, and the wealth of food on the tables in front of us. It is a time when we Americans take a minute to consider our many privileges and opportunities.
"In our country, when parents cannot feed their children, community and government programs will catch them. But this is not so for families facing hunger in far too many countries around the world.
"Thanksgiving is also an occasion to stop for just a minute, and think of them as well.
"As former and current U.S. Ambassadors to the United Nations (UN) Food and Agriculture agencies -- the UN organizations that provide assistance to people suffering from hunger or under nutrition around the globe -- at Thanksgiving our thoughts swing to these poorer areas of the world. In particular, our thoughts turn to 13.3 million people in crisis in the Horn of Africa, where the worst drought in the last 60 years, coupled with severe instability, has caused a famine in areas of Somalia. Hundreds of thousands have fled their homes and crossed into neighboring Kenya and Ethiopia in search of food, water, and medicine. Millions are suffering from extreme hunger, and tens of thousands of children have already died from starvation and disease. What we saw there during recent visits will stay with us for a long time.
"This should not have happened, not again, not in 2011.
"We knew this drought would come. Warning systems have been in place in the region for decades -- monitoring rainfall, crop patterns, livestock, and undernutrition. Working with the Governments of Kenya and Ethiopia, UN agencies, and other donors, we were able to preposition food stocks and scale-up programs in the area, to provide life-saving aid to millions of people in need and lessen the impact of the crisis.
"In Kenya and Ethiopia, our development investments have paid off, helping families cope with the effects of the drought and preventing a slide into famine.
"But in Somalia, sadly, the situation is different. The terrible drought in areas of the country has been exacerbated by the actions of al-Shabaab, the terrorist group that continues to block access for relief organizations to vulnerable areas of Somalia, forcing more than a million to flee, and tens of thousands to starve.
"A large-scale response to this emergency (and other emergencies around the world) has been underway for many months and is having a positive impact. The effort is international, it is multilateral, and it is coordinated by the United Nations.
"As U.S. Ambassadors to the 'food' agencies we have observed and supported the work of the World Food Progamme (WFP), the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) almost from their inception. We are committed to supporting this critical work and coordinating with UN partners and other stakeholders through Feed the Future, President Obama's global hunger and food security initiative.
"We have seen how WFP's globe-spanning logistics operations can bring nutritious, life-saving food relief anywhere in the world within hours, while laying the foundations for communities to become food producers again. We have seen how the FAO assists farmers and livestock herders, around the world obtain seeds to plant and livestock to raise, and improve their lives. We have seen how a $100 loan through IFAD's micro-credit program enabled an impoverished woman in Bangladesh to open a fish-farm, expand into poultry farming and send her children for higher education.
"We must continue to provide emergency assistance where it is needed, but at the same time, and with equal commitment, develop the long-term food security of countries that still struggle with hunger. Agricultural development is key to the future of the planet as it faces a rapidly growing population which just reached 7 billion on October 31st, with changing needs and tastes that demand a 70% increase in food production by 2050. We must take what we call a "twin-track" approach to the problem of food insecurity in the world.
"As a global community, we must all make sure that every country can produce the food it needs, that every mother has the means to feed her children, and that smallholder farmers, especially women, have the tools they need to better produce, store, and market what they grow. These values are at the core of Feed the Future; by alleviating hunger and the desperation it causes, we promote stability and security for all of us.
"As we take that last bite of pumpkin pie tonight, let us take a minute to think about the importance of pursuing the goal of feeding those hungry children whose faces haunt us, but more importantly, to give them the tools they need to feed themselves in the future."

Zharkov in the U.S.A. writes:
After a minute of thought, that feeling of guilt for Somalia's misfortune just never got started. Do farmers in Iowa somehow deprive farmers in Somalia of rain?
It seems that this same African hunger problem has been nearly continuous for about as long as anyone cared to report it, so whatever the UN has been doing, it isn't working. Where are Somalia's wealthier neighbors when they need them? Have Somalia's neighbors abandoned all hope for Somalia?
There remains the question of why rescue Libya which was not starving instead of Somalia which was starving?
Imagine a movie like this one:
In Somalia, famine and civil war have gripped the country, resulting in over 300,000 civilian deaths and a huge United Nations peacekeeping operation. With the bulk of the peacekeepers withdrawn, the Somali militia have declared war on the remaining UN personnel.
In response, United States Army Rangers, Delta Force, and 160th SOAR are deployed to Somalia to capture Mohammed Farrah Aidid, self-proclaimed president of the country. Outside Mogadishu, Rangers and Delta Force operatives capture Osman Ali Atto, a warlord selling arms to the militia of Aidid. Shortly thereafter, a mission is planned to capture Omar Salad Elmi and Abdi Hassan Awale Qeybdiid, two of Aidid's top advisers. Staff Sergeant Matthew Eversmann is placed in command of Ranger Chalk Four, his first command.
The operation is launched and Delta Force successfully captures the men, however Pfc. Todd Blackburn falls from one of the Black Hawk helicopters, severely injuring his back. Three Humvees led by Sgt. Jeff Struecker are detached from the main column to return Blackburn to the UN-held Mogadishu Airport, however en route, Sgt. Dominick Pilla is shot and killed. Shortly thereafter, Black Hawk Super-Six One, piloted by CWO Clifton "Elvis" Wolcott is shot down by an RPG and crashes deep within the city.
The ground forces begin to converge on the crash site, however the Somali militia throw up roadblocks, resulting in Lt. Col Danny McKnight's Humvee column becoming lost, and sustains heavy casualties. Meanwhile, two Ranger Chalks, including Eversmann's unit, reach Super-Six One's crash site, setting up a defensive perimeter. In the interim, Super-Six Four, piloted by CWO Michael Durant is also shot down by an RPG, crashing within the city.
With Cpt. Mike Steele's Rangers pinned down and sustaining heavy casualties, no ground forces can reach Super Six Four's crash site, nor reinforce the Rangers defending Super Six One. Two Delta snipers, Sgt. Randy Shughart and Master Sgt. Gary Gordon are inserted by helicopter to Super Six Four's crash site, where they find Durant still alive. The crash site is eventually overrun, Gordon and Shughart are killed, and Durant is captured.
Meanwhile, McKnight's column, having taken heavy casualties, gives up attempting to reach Six-One's crash site, and returns to base. In response, Gen. Garrison orders 10th Mountain Division, including Pakistani and Malaysian forces, to mobilize as a relief column. The Somali militia launch a sustained assault on Super Six One's crash site throughout the night and into the morning, until the troops are extracted.
A handful of remaining Army Rangers and Delta Force operatives run from the crash site back to the stadium, in the UN Safe Zone. The closing credits detail the results of the raid: 19 American soldiers were killed, with over 1,000 Somalis dead. Durant was released after 11 days of captivity. Delta snipers Gordon and Shughart were the first soldiers to be posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor since the Vietnam War. On August 2, 1996, Aidid was killed in a battle with a rival clan. General Garrison retired the following day.
Samantha in the U.S.A. writes:
I agree that It is essential to continue emergency assistance to those affected by what is best described as a food security crisis in the Horn of Africa. I also agree that it is essential that the nations in these areas address simultaneously their overall food security. However, in order to truly address the root causes of these nations' problems with food security, it is absolutely imperative that the rule of law in these countries be further strengthened and developed. In many instances, ineffective government and corruption has stunted economic as well as agricultural development that could have prevented this crisis in the first place and blocked much needed aid from reaching affected citizens once the crisis did hit. This is, of course, not completely unique to the countries of the Horn of Africa, it is a recurring issue in many developing nations across the globe. Until rule of law governs these nations in a more stable, thorough, and effective fashion, crises such as this one will continue world-wide.
Nina P. in the U.S.A. writes:
I find it enriching that on Thanksgiving Day we can take action to help people around the world who are suffering from hunger starvation. I applaud the Administration's efforts and what they have done for the people in Kenya and Ethiopia.
If we are going to help Africa, there should be long-term goals to protect the people from hunger starvation. Our goals should not solve food security and drought issues for a couple of years. International NGOs and news articles have been reporting on the possible drought in Somalia and other countries in Africa for years. However, it appears to me that our efforts started in spring of this year.
I simply suggest that we prevent famine and drought before it occurs and provide long-term hunger security. This will allow us to use our money wisely and effectively help the people in Africa.
W.W. writes:
Best thanksgiving given ever is the one of ladygaga ...
thanks Gaga ...
Joy in Washington, D.C. writes:
Solving agricultural woes is one of the most fundamental development goals we should have. I look forward to seeing the day when sustainable development initiatives render food aid rare. To be considered, though, are the increasing constraints on water as our globe's climate evolves. Water will likely be the key variable in whether or not agricultural advancements and initiatives will succeed or not. Kudos to the UN, USAID, and the FWD campaign partners for their work.

PINAL COUNTY, Ariz. – On Tuesday, May, 28th, 2013 at 6:40 p.m., a Pinal County
Sheriff's Office K-9 deputy doing traffic enforcement executed a stop on a
suspicious driver that resulted in the seizure of cash and marijuana and the
arrest of a known money-launderer.
The Pinal County Sheriff's Office deputy was doing traffic enforcement in a
fully marked K-9 unit along westbound I-10 when a driver in a passing Chrysler
Sebring reclined in the seat to avoid contact with the deputy as he passed. The
K-9 deputy observed the driver hit his brakes and dramatically slow his vehicle
in the high speed lane of traffic. The deputy initiated a traffic stop for
impeding the flow of traffic at mile marker 193.
As the deputy approached the vehicle, he watched the driver wipe his face and
take several deep breaths. The driver identified himself as Terron Taylor,
35-years-old, of Phoenix. Taylor told the deputy he had spent the day at the
casino where he won. Taylor pulled a large sum of cash out of his front shirt
pocket. As the deputy asked other routine questions he noted Taylor again acted
nervous when asked if he had any drugs in the car.
The deputy advised Taylor he was going to retrieve his K-9 partner for a "free
air sniff" of the vehicle. The deputy did not even have time to give his K-9 a
command before the dog alerted on back of the car. The deputy found a large
hockey style bag in the trunk which contained several bundles of marijuana.
Inside the car, the deputy discovered a purse with banded rolls of money. The
deputy placed Taylor under arrest. Pinal County
Sheriff's Office Narcotics detectives recovered a total of $15,379 in cash and
nearly 70 pounds of marijuana worth $28,000 from the vehicle.
Detectives learned that Taylor had previously been arrested for money-laundering
when a K-9 alerted on his luggage. Taylor was booked into the Pinal County Adult
Detention Center on five felony counts of possession, transportation and sale of
marijuana. Charges will also be submitted to the County Attorney for review for
Sheriff Paul Babeu said "Already this year, Pinal County Sheriff's K-9 deputies
have recovered 2,000 pounds of marijuana, 30 pounds of methamphetamine and more
than $53,000 in US currency. These deputies and their K-9 partners are key tools
in apprehension of serious criminal offenders."

Topic: Load session variable at startup
I have a bunch of actions that require session[:season] to be set. Since I can't guarantee a user will enter the site at a given point, I'm using this line for multiple actions:
@season = session[:season] || load_season
... where load_season uses the current session[:season] if it's not set or otherwise pulls it from the database.
This isn't awfully bad, but it's not very DRY, since I have to repeat this line for many actions. I also have to create @season instead of directly referencing session[:season].
In PHP, I would have just set the session var in an early line of code which would guarantee that it was set.
Is there any equivalent in Rails -- a location that says "do this code before doing anything else"?

Rock fans get a rare chance to see not one but two bands with terrible names in one place when Buckcherry and Puddle of Mudd take the stage at the Newport. Join us as we look back on some great moments in bad band-naming.
10. Toad the Wet Sprocket
Only a slight improvement over their original name, Toad the Moist Sprocket.
9. Audioslave
Just barely edging out Chickenfoot for the title of Worst Supergroup Name, this sounds like the name of a bad Radiohead cover band.
8. Asia/Europe/Chicago/Alabama/Boston/Kansas/etc.
"Who's ready to rock 'n' roll?! And maybe learn a little something about geography?!"
7. Panic! At the Disco
There's nothing quite! as annoying! as a misplaced exclamation! point, huh? Honorable mention to Godspeed You! Black Emperor and the unpronounceable "!!!"
6. Limp Bizkit
They did it all for the nookie, not for the correct spelling.
5. Dave Matthews Band
What could possibly be more boring than taking your name and just tacking "Band" on the end, dude? Oh, yeah, your music.
4. Hootie & the Blowfish
On the flip side, maybe don't make up a name that sounds like a band member, but isn't. Ask Darius Rucker how many times a fan was disappointed he didn't sign an autograph "Hootie."
3. Chumbawamba/Kajagoogoo/Bananarama/Oingo Boingo/Hoobastank
Band names or baby's first words? You decide.
2. tUnE-yArDs
Remember, it's "tUnE-yArDs," not "ThE-tUnE-yArDs" … And if you really want to up the ante on pretension, you can just write your band name like your caps key got half-stuck.
1. Nickelback
The only thing more uninspired than their brand of neo-butt-rock? The origin of their name. One of the band members worked at Starbucks, where change was commonly five cents, hence, "Here's your nickel back." Ugh.

New Release: National Footprint Accounts 2014
Newly published Global Footprint Network data show that high-income countries' average demands on nature dropped sharply at the onset of the global financial crisis in 2008. In 2010 the per person Footprint started to grow again only in a few high-income countries as governments began spending billions of dollars to stimulate their economies.
During the global financial crisis, middle- and low-income nations' per capita Ecological Footprint remained largely unchanged, according to the 2014 National Footprint Accounts.
Changes in the Ecological Footprint per person in high-, middle- and low-income countries between 1961 and 2010. China (a middle-income country) is shown separately. The green line represents world biocapacity per person. Biocapacity per person has been declining because the world population has grown more quickly than biocapacity productivity (Global Footprint Network, 2014 NFA edition).
Globally, humanity's per person Ecological Footprint decreased 3 percent between 2008 and 2009, due mostly to a decline in demand for fossil fuel and hence a decreasing carbon Footprint. Low-income countries, typically characterized by less elasticity in their standard of living, contributed little to the decrease in humanity's per person Footprint.
Every year, Global Footprint Network updates its National Footprint Accounts, which compare more than 220 nations' demands for ecological resources and services (their Footprints) against the amount available within their borders (biocapacity). Each country's performance varies year to year, but one overarching trend has persisted for decades: Global ecological overshoot continues to grow. Ecological overshoot now stands at 54 percent above the planet's biocapacity. Humanity demands more than 1.5 times more biocapacity than what our planet can renew.
This year's National Footprint Accounts cover five decades. They track nations' Ecological Footprints and biocapacity from 1961 to 2010, the most recent year for which complete data sets are available. With the latest data, Global Footprint Network can now show the resource implications of the recent global financial crisis.
High-income countries' per capita Ecological Footprints declined from 2008 to 2009. But their Footprints were still more than triple that of middle-income countries' and about five times that of low-income countries'. Most middle- and low-income countries either maintained or increased their per capita demand on nature during the global financial crisis.
Ecological Footprint disparities between high-, middle- and low-income countries are most pronounced in the carbon component. This carbon component makes up a larger share of high-income countries' Ecological Footprints than it does for middle- and low-income countries.The carbon component of the United States' Ecological Footprint, for example, accounts for two-thirds of its total Footprint. Although the United States' carbon Footprint decreased 13 percent from 2008 to 2009, the nation's carbon emissions started to grow again in 2010.
Changes in the per person Ecological Footprint and biocapacity between 1961 and 2010 in the United States. The United States has been running a biocapacity deficit the entire time period (Global Footprint Network, 2014 NFA edition).
Changes in the per person Ecological Footprint, by component, between 1961 and 2010 in the United States. The carbon Footprint is the largest component of the average American's Ecological Footprint (Global Footprint Network, 2014 NFA edition).
Similar trends occurred in other high-income countries. From 2008 to 2009, the carbon component of the Ecological Footprint declined 21 percent in Denmark, 20 percent in Spain, 10 percent in the United Kingdom and 9 percent in Japan. Denmark, the United Kingdom and Japan all increased fossil fuel burning and carbon emissions in 2010.
High-income nations' trends during the recent global financial crisis are consistent with how their Footprints responded to earlier financial shocks and periods of economic growth. During the oil crises and ensuing recessions in the 1970s and 1980s, for example, high-income countries' per person Footprints steeply declined; as economies started to expand, Footprint sizes grew.
Middle- and low-income nations' Footprint trends, however, have scarcely changed during world economic crises. Residents of low-income countries are less integrated in the global economy. Their consumption is more local and primarily composed of biomass products, such as essential food and survival goods. See, for example, Madagascar's per person Footprint below:Changes in Madagascar's per person Ecological Footprint and biocapacity between 1961 and 2010. Madagascar has maintained a biocapacity reserve for the entire time period (Global Footprint Network, 2014 NFA edition).
Changes in Madagascar's per person Ecological Footprint, by component, between 1961 and 2010 (Global Footprint Network, 2014 NFA edition).
In contrast, China's per person Footprint has nearly doubled since the 1990s, which is particularly stunning considering the country's population size.Changes in China's per person Ecological Footprint and biocapacity between 1961 and 2010 (Global Footprint Network, 2014 NFA edition). Changes in China's per person Ecological Footprint, by component, between 1961 and 2010 (Global Footprint Network, 2014 NFA edition).
"We expect next year's data to show more high-income countries returning to a growing Footprint path," said Mathis Wackernagel, President of Global Footprint Network. "Such a path is increasingly risky in a world of overshoot. We too often forget that healthier alternatives exist. We have plenty of opportunities for operating within nature's budget through smart policies and investments that generate lasting human well-being."

text: Pipers Win But Miss MIAC PlayoffsThe Piper men's BB team went into Saturday's game at Macalester knowing they could only do one thing themselves -- win their game and hope to get help to make the conference playoffs. It took a while ... and there were some nerve-wracking moments along the way ... but Hamline outlasted the Scots, 65-58, at Leonard Center to finish 2011-12 with a winning overall record (13-12) and a tie for fifth place in the MIAC with a 11-9 mark. Unfortunately, the teams they were tied with -- St. John's and Bethel -- both won as well and will advance to the playoffs via the tiebreaker system. The Scots didn't look like a team that had won only one game all season. They stayed close to the Pipers for the first 15 minutes of play and then used a 10-1 run late to go into the locker room at halftime with a 33-26 lead. In the second half, they pushed the lead to as many as nine points before Hamline began a fierce rally that eventually tied the game at 48 with 8:26 to play. It was a neck and neck horse race the rest of the way. There were four more ties until Mike Campbell, who made his final game as a Piper a memorable one (19 points, 12 rebounds and a steal) hit a pair of free throws with 2:29 to start a 7-0 string that decided the game in the Pipers' favor. Campbell was one of four Pipers in double digits. Noah Aguirre and Brandon Rieg (also playing his last game) scored 13 points while Al Tillman added 11. Campbell's solid effort solidified his membership on several Top Ten Lists. In just two years at HU, he moved to sixth on the Free Throws Made list with 222. He is also eighth in Steals with 106 and Field Goal Percentage (.513). He stands 10th all-time in Points Per game average (minimum 48 games). He easily led the MIAC in Steals with 63 and finished as the team's leader in many offensive categories in 2011-12, including points (14.2 ppg) and rebounds (5.4). Levi Wennrich, who led the team with 66 assists, had one Saturday and will leave HU in fifth place all-time with 276 total.

Common minimum rules relating to legal aid
The purpose of this Directive is to improve access to justice in cross-border civil cases by establishing common minimum rules relating to legal aid; to ensure that appropriate legal aid is granted, under certain conditions, to persons who cannot meet the cost of proceedings on account of their financial situation; to facilitate compatibility of national laws in this matter and to provide for cooperation mechanisms between the authorities of the Member States.
Council Directive 2003/8/EC of 27 January 2003 to improve access to justice in cross-border disputes by establishing minimum common rules relating to legal aid for such disputes.
At the Tampere European Council in 1999, the Member States undertook to establish common measures to remove all obstacles to the smooth operation of civil procedures. In 2000 the Commission presented a Green Paper on legal aid in civil matters with a view to taking stock of difficulties encountered by cross-border litigants and proposing solutions. The Green Paper met with differing reactions underscoring the need to put forward a proposal providing for cooperation and information mechanisms between the Member States.
The Commission initiative is all the more necessary since existing conventions on the matter (the Strasbourg Agreement of 1977 on the Transmission of Legal Aid Applications and the Hague Convention to Facilitate the International Access to Justice, signed in 1980) have not been ratified by all the Member States and remain somewhat underused.
This Decision covers all civil procedures (including commercial law, employment law, and consumer protection law), irrespective of the court to which the case is referred.
It gives persons who do not have sufficient resources the right to legal aid (whether European Union citizens or nationals of third countries lawfully residing in a Member State).
Legal aid includes:
- the services of a lawyer or other person entitled by law to represent parties in the courts;
- exemption from the cost of proceedings;
- cover, under certain conditions, for the additional costs related to the cross-border nature of the dispute (interpretation, translation, travel costs etc.).
In addition, the Decision provides for the introduction of rules on the processing of applications, in particular:
- National authorities must ensure that processing of applications is as transparent as possible.
- Where applications are rejected, the reasons for rejection must be given;
- Provision must be made for appeals against rejection.
In order to ensure swift processing of applications:
- Member States must provide the Commission with a list of the authorities empowered to send and receive applications as well as the list of official languages in which they accept applications;
- The Commission, assisted by the committee provided for by Council Regulation (EC) No 1348/2000, will establish a standard form;
- Provision will be made for an emergency procedure for legal aid applications made by applicants not residing in the Member State of the competent court.
Legal aid will be granted where disputes are settled via extra-judicial procedures under certain conditions.
Member States must ensure that the public and professional circles are fully informed via the European Judicial Network in Civil and Commercial Matters. In addition, they must adopt the provisions needed to implement this directive no later than 1 January 2004. They will forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
This Decision will not prevent Member States from making more favourable arrangements for legal aid applicants.

Deadline for transposition in the Member States

Commission Decision 2005/630/EC of 26 August 2005 establishing a form for the transmission of legal aid applications under Council Directive 2003/8/EC [Official Journal L 225 of 31.08.2005].
Commission Decision 2004/844/EC of 9 November 2004 establishing a form for legal aid applications under Council Directive 2003/8/EC to improve access to justice in cross-border disputes by establishing minimum common rules relating to legal aid for such disputes [Official Journal L 365 of 10.12.2004].

No kumquat branches coming
By Kit Ingalls
Published February 17, 2007
Kumquat branches are a traditional element of lunar new year celebrations, which begin this Sunday.
Celebrants decorate their homes with the branches. The green leaves represent wealth; the golden fruits signify luck and their oval shape exemplifies unity and perfection. Given to guests, the branches symbolize gifts of wealth and good fortune.
Kumquat Growers Inc., of Saint Joseph, ships more than two-thirds of the nation's kumquats. It ships the hardy Nagami variety, normally sending 2,500 bushels of branches annually for lunar new year.
This year, Kumquat Growers will ship no branches.
There are plenty of young branches laden with kumquats. The Florida crop is bountiful this year, thanks to cool fall nights and well timed rainfall.
But, what nature has given, USDA rules have taken away.
On Aug. 1, the U.S. Department of Agriculture quarantined all Florida citrus, including kumquats, because of concerns over citrus canker.
Quarantined fruit may be shipped to the nation's 45 non-citrus producing states, provided they are "free of leaves, twigs, and other plant parts." Kumquats can be shipped, but the branches cannot.
"In my opinion, shipping kumquats with leaves would not be a problem," said Gloria Moore, University of Florida Professor of Horticulture, who has been researching citrus diseases for 26 years. "The (Nagami) variety is definitely, in our hands, resistant to citrus canker."
In a five-year project, Moore and her colleagues have analyzed the response of Nagami kumquats to citrus canker and have found the two to be "incompatible." They presented their results at the International Plant and Animal Genome Conference in January.
Far from acting as hosts for the canker, the Nagami kumquats suppress it by causing the inoculated tissue to die and the affected leaves to fall off.
"We are looking at the genes that are turned on when we inoculate kumquats with canker," said Moore, who hopes to provide resistance to other citrus by isolating and transferring the kumquat genes.
USDA spokesman Tyrone Kemp said he was not aware of Moore's research. "We had heard only that kumquats were highly resistant to citrus canker. Once something like that is published, we will have to take that into consideration."
When asked if the USDA had any evidence of citrus canker in Florida's commercial kumquat crops, Kemp responded, "That's a good question."
Frank Gude, co-owner of Kumquat Growers, knows the answer. "There has never been citrus canker in our commercial kumquats. Canker has never been found in Pasco County, in any kind of citrus."
Gude has been growing, picking, packing and shipping kumquats for 70 years. He and the other kumquat growers can trace the lineage of their trees. They budded most of the trees themselves. The rest came directly from Pasco County stock certified by the state to be canker-free.
In December, the USDA modified its rules to allow shipment of kumquat trees from Florida, but its prohibition against shipping branches remains in effect.
Why allow shipments of trees but not branches?
"That's a good question," said Kemp, who added that the agency would issue new, interim regulations in April.
The kumquat season ends in March.
In a normal season, 40 percent of Kumquat Growers' shipments would have been branches.
Being able to ship the branches would have meant more money for the pickers, the grove owners, and the company. At every stage of production, the branches are more lucrative than the individually clipped kumquats.
"The impact has been there all season long," says Gude. "We have lost customers because we have lost our leaf business."

The unique Honors Program at Drake University offers undergraduate and Pharmacy students discussion-based, reading- and writing-intensive courses on interdisciplinary and ever-changing topical issues. It is designed for motivated students who want to actively participate in challenging seminar courses.
Students at Drake University may use the Honors Track as a way to fulfill their general education requirements. Instead of taking Areas of Inquiry (AOI) coursework, students can take six Honors courses as an alternative to AOIs. The one-hour Honors Practicum, while not counting towards the Honors Track, is a good introduction to the Honors Program goals and vision.
Students who complete the Honors Track, maintain a 3.2 cumulative GPA, and complete an Honors Senior Thesis capstone project with a "B" or "better" are eligible to receive the "University Honors" distinction on their Drake transcript and diploma.
The program provides a unique opportunity for intellectual enrichment both in and out of the classroom. Through Honors coursework, students investigate key questions of what we know and how we know it.

|Aurora Halogen Square Edge 3.3 Inch Invisible Trim/Housing
About Pure Lighting
Pure Lighting combines minimalist design with state-of-the-art technology to produce innovative lighting that seamlessly blends into drywall or plaster ceilings. The revolutionary collection features Truly Trimless recessed fixtures, advanced LED RGB technology and concealed lighting components that provide a clean, glare-free internal look ideal for commercial or residential applications.
The Aurora RGB is the only recessed fixture to combine both halogen accent light with colored LEDs resulting in a glowing disc of color at the aperture while the halogen white light projects downward performing an accent function. LEDs are controlled to be static color, cross-faded or set to the beat of the music. Other features of the Aurora family include hot aiming lamp adjustment, knife edge apertures, a rigid plaster plate and dome interior. The self locking gears and other hardware are hidden behind the lamp within the dome interior and the knife edge aperture eliminates glare and brightness creating a skylight effect. The flush mounted rigid plaster plate continues a clean uninterrupted ceiling and prevents chipping and cracking at the trim aperture, which is common with other recessed manufacturers.
The fixtures are available with the Truly Trimless 3.3" aperture, along with beveled and flat flush trims of various aperture sizes. Complimenting the Aurora family, the Genna wall wash features a trim that produces no-glare at the aperture and an ultra uniform field of light that covers the entire wall with a straight edge at the ceiling plane. Beyond the accents and downlights, the Stratus wall grazer offers dramatic yet energy efficient lighting for textured surfaces by uniformly (8 x 160 beam) illuminating vertical surfaces with warm white or cool white LEDs.
Made in the USA.
Sales Consultant Recommendation
On Sep 21, 2013 by Jackie Bowen (Staff Lighting Consultant) View Profile
This truly minimalist recessed can is amazingly versatile and sophisticated. It has a retractable MR16 inside of it that can move up and down along grooves, allowing the light to point either straight down or at an angle toward a wall. Also, a dome inside the can prevents the bulb from being visible when you look up into the fixture. Unlike with other recessed cans, all you will see is a clean shade of grey. Most importantly, it is the only housing out there that has a true knife's edge to it, meaning there is virtually no trim at all. It is the cleanest, chicest recessed can available today - perfect for today's sleek contemporary styles.

Quite often though, the willingness to quickly achieve results is not enough and the mere signing up for Blogger or Wordpress is not a guarantee that you will make it in the big virtual world. It takes effort, perseverance and inspiration to make your tiny space on the Internet resemble your home and attract new friends.
In an attempt to save you some efforts and open up time for more creativity, I will tell you 3 of the main areas of blogging mistakes that tend to slow bloggers down in their quest for followers and popularity.
1. Design
2. Socializing
3. Consistency
The thing bloggers tend to overlook most often is design. In blogging it's not only words that matter, it is the whole package. Take care to present your musings with style. Stretched photos, bllinking etsy minis and unmatching colors speak bad not only for your blog but they extend to your creations on etsy as well.
Make sure that your blog is enjoyable and visually pleasant without being over the top. If you want to insure yourself against the case of unattractive design try to look at your blog through the eyes of an unbiased reader. If you can't detach yourself emotionally, ask your friends or family to take a look and tell you what they think.
As far as the actual posts are concerned, illustrate them! Everybody loves some eye candy and on blogs the bigger the better. According to research, a post with several photos keeps the reader longer on your page. Here is an extensive list with places to find free photos for your blog posts.
Organizing the information on your blog will help you make it user friendly and you will save time for your readers. Organize your most important information in the top section of your blog because that is the segment that gets the most views. Also, take off any widgets that slow the loading time of your blog.
Blogging is in the first place a way to socialize but many bloggers forget that and wonder why they can neither attract visitors nor keep them. Ask questions at the end of your posts - you will be surprised how quickly your comments will increase. Use the comment form - reply to the comments you receive. With time your readers will learn that you like discussions and will start coming back to read more.
Visit the blogs of the people who have left you comments and return the favor. BUT take the time to leave meaningful comments and write from your heart. You will not build a fruitful blogging relationship based on flattery and false praise. Be sincere and refrain from commenting if you have nothing positive to say.
Don't ignore any emails you receive from blog readers. Treat them like your etsy customers - with care! Reply in time to earn respect and trust.
Many bloggers believe they need to post only when they really have to say something, leading to inconsistent posting schedule. Build a blogging schedule and follow it. There is no need to officially post it on your blog. It is enough that you know it and follow it. Following a schedule is good not only for building credibility, it is also good for you, because with time it will help you organize your creative writing and save time.
Following a writing schedule is a way to get out of your comfort zone and challenge yourself, which means only one - you are developing and growing wiser. At first you will feel strange but once you get used to it you will feel that scheduling is more of a help than a nuisance, your posting ideas will get channeled and you will be more inspired than when relying on sporadic outbursts.
It is vital that you post on a regular basis - at least three times a week for a start. Bloggers who seldom update their blogs loose their readership because in the Information age people easily find another source of inspiration. Strive to be interesting and versatile. Don't be afraid to experiment this is the only way to find your true style.
Consistency also has to do with your blog's topic. Determine your field of expertise and dig on! Once you determine your main topic, go ahead and follow it, share more information from that field from different perspectives, not just yours. Follow blogs and websites that can widen your horizons and can give you ideas for more blog posts.
It doesn't matter whether you started blogging out of curiosity, or because you read in the etsy forums that having a blog will help promote your brand. It is more important that you got the bug of social writing and you are now on your way to self discovery through words - yours and others.

In sports, and in life, things do not often go as planned and there are glitches that need to be dealt with - like injuries. Every time you step out on the field you run the risk that you might sustain an injury. Not being able to play is every athlete's greatest fear. Mentally dealing with an injury can sometimes be more frustrating than the physical aspect.
You see, it is what you do after you get hurt that can effect how quickly you get back out on the field:
- Let yourself feel sad, mad, upset - Whatever emotions accompany your injury, don't repress anything. Even if you hold it in for now, it will have to come out sooner or later.
- Deal with what has happened, don't dwell on "if only." It won't do any good and chances are, that way of thinking will slow down your recovery time anyway.
- Set new goals - Set rehabilitation goals for yourself. Be patient and just focus on the new goals you have set, not on past goals. Set goals you can succeed at and will help build your confidence level.
- Positive attitude - If there was ever a time that you would benefit from a positive mental attitude, it is now. It can help speed up your recovery. Positive self-talk can help in your recovery from injuries.
- Practice visualizing - If you practice visualization your nervous system remains in tune to your skills and you move along much quicker when you get the green light to start practicing again.
- Practice relaxation - Relaxation improves the blood flow by dilating your blood vessels. This increased circulation to the injured areas is good for speeding up recovery time.
- Seek out support - Do everything you can to stay involved with your team. Do not alienate yourself. Attend as many practices and games as possible. Do what you can to stay involved.
- Keep the lines of communication open - Clear communication between you and your trainer, you and your coach, you and your teammates is very important to the rehabilitation process.
- Be patient - Take it one day at a time, don't rush back. Doing things in excess and extremes may be what lead to the fatigue and injury in the first place. You do not want to return too early and risk getting injured again.
Mental training techniques can be used in a preventative approach to contribute to an injury-free environment. By mentally practicing you decrease your chances of injury due to the fact that you have taken away some of the emotional hassles that many times lead to stress and injury. With stress and anxiety comes muscle tension, which could cause you to strain a muscle. When you are stressed you also have a shorter attention span and limited visual field, which also contribute to the possibility of injury. You may not have control over getting injured in the first place, by you DO have control over what you do from there - so take control! (Adapted from Winning the Mental Way: A Practical Guide to Team Building and Mental Training, 1999.)

By TIMES STAFF WRITER
Published August 5, 2006
So it turns out extra-large Speedos are a danger to more than just good taste.
A bottlenose dolphin in Sarasota Bay became ensnared in a pair of extra-large Speedos recently, prompting a rescue effort by 30 staff members and volunteers from Mote Marine Laboratory.
Mote staff members saw the dolphin, nicknamed Scrappy, swimming with a piece of black material around its torso, about a month ago.
They captured the dolphin Thursday and removed the cloth, a ripped but otherwise intact Speedo.
The garment actually put the dolphin at great risk. The drag created by the skimpy suit inflicted wounds on the front edge of the pectoral flippers.
"These injuries probably would have become infected, the material would have continued cutting deeper into the dolphin's flippers and would have caused the dolphin's death had we not been able to help him," said Dr. Randall Wells, manager of the Sarasota Dolphin Research Program.
"This is a serious situation for the dolphin and is a reminder that anything we humans use near the water can affect marine mammals," Wells said.
The staff decided to help Scrappy after monitoring him and consulting with federal authorities.
Mote officials said Scrappy somehow swam through the waist and leg holes of the suit.
"Dolphins are very curious creatures," said Martha Wells, a spokeswoman for Mote. "He was probably just playing with it."
Officials said Scrappy was doing well after the Speedo was removed.
But the bigger questions left unanswered: How did the Speedos wind up in the water? And has their original owner found other cover?

New Hanover Sheriff's deputies arrested 49 year-old Jeannie Lynn Marvel on Friday for first-degree attempted murder and cruelty to animals.
On September 9, deputies responded to Marvel's Scratch Court residence after a friend found Marvel unresponsive. Marvel's 9-year-old daughter and her cat also appeared to be poisoned or under the influence, said Jerry Brewer, a New Hanover County Sheriff's Department spokesman.
Marvel and her daughter were taken to New Hanover M

edical Center and the cat was taken to the animal emergency room. All three were successfully treated.
Marvel's daughter is now in Department of Social Services custody, while her cat is at the veterinarian's for now.
Detectives executed a search warrant for Marvel's residence while she was in the hospital, issuing a warrant for her arrest.
Marvel was picked up from the hospital yesterday by sheriff's deputies after being released. Her bond was set at $500,000.

How very sad! That poor little girl now is homeless and will go into a foster home. I hope the vet keeps the cat and not put it in the animal shelter. I hope this woman gets help and sees the errors of her ways. But I hope she doesn't get her daughter back, if she ever gets out of jail. And she should barred from having any pet! God help her!

Trail Races
Bel Monte Endurance Runs 50M, 50K, 25K, March 26, 2011, Sherando Lake Recreation Area and the George Washington National Forest. This rugged, mountainous race is on mostly technical single- and doubletrack trails, with some gravel roads. On race day, it could be snowing or a pleasant early spring temperature. In the 50-miler, 11,009 feet of elevation gain is spread over three long climbs. www.badtothebone.biz
Trail Runner Ultra Race of Champions 100K (UROC) and Great Eastern Endurance Run 50K and Half Marathon, September 24, 2011, Wintergreen Resort, Blue Ridge Mountains and George Washington National Forest.

Winter Solstice Run, 18-plus-mile trail loop on the third Saturday each December. Circumnavigate Charlottesville on the singletrack Rivanna Trail. There is no official registration or event fee. Look for details from run organizer, Sophie Speidel, this fall: http://charlottesvilleareatrailrunners.blogspot.com.
Best Charlottesville Trails
Rivanna Trail. Loop the entire town of Charlottesville along this woodland, 18-plus-mile halo, accessible from multiple trailheads around town. Bring extra water and tack on seven bonus miles with a hilly circuit on Observatory Hill (O-Hill). The Rivanna Trail has many spurs, and a recommended three-mile off-shoot is the River North Trail that begins at Penn Park on the northwest section of town and parallels the Rivanna River through grassy meadows, with no nearby homes and lots of wildlife including bald eagles, deer, coyotes, river otters, turkeys, red and grey foxes and—on rare occasions—black bears. Download free trail maps at www.rivanna.avenue.org.
Monticello. A 7.5-mile network of steep, woodland and natural grassland trails weaves up to Thomas Jefferson's Monticello, the third President of the United States of America's mansion in the sky, located on the southern edge of town. Download free trail maps at www.monticello.org.
Walnut Creek Park. Fifteen minutes south of town, accessible off Route 29, this state park has 15 hilly miles of forested singletrack and a swimming lake for cooling off after hot summer runs. Trails here were built and are maintained by mountain bikers so be prepared to share space.
Appalachian Trail. The Appalachian Trail (AT), one of the most storied trails in the world, passes near Charlottesville along the spine of the Blue Ridge Mountains, through the old-growth hardwood forest lands of the Shenandoah National Park. The Potomac Appalachian Trail Club (www.patc.net) produces excellent trail maps of the Shenandoah National Park and AT. Keep your eyes peeled for black bears and rattlesnakes in the summer.
Shenandoah Mountain Trail. On the west side of the Shenandoah Mountains in the Ramsey's Draft Wilderness Area. 12- to 14-miles roundtrip, it is mostly a narrow, dry, grassy ridge and has less snow in the winter than other trails in the area. It is rain shadowed in the summer, has no stream crossings and reaches an elevation of nearly 3400 feet. On a clear day, you can see 50 miles into the mountains of West Virginia.
