I decided to make a list of games that I intend on getting in the first year of the PS4. I'm going out on a limb for a few of these being released before November 2014 so go easy on that. I don't really want to make it a list of most anticipated as putting a number on things I've barely seen seems a little strange to me but anyways this is more for me to get my pre-orders ready post Christmas. Also I am not including any downloadable titles as that would force me to write for about five or six more pages and this is already going to be a long one...
I already know I am getting Knack and Killzone: Shadow Fall when my PS4 arrives via UPS on Launch day. Killzone I am excited for just because it seems to be going in a different direction than the other games and I do kind of lean towards sci-fi when it comes to shooters. Knack is a different story and I will justify it by two words Mark Cerny. If you aren't familiar with this man just look at all of the games his name is attached to. That in and of itself is enough to assure me that this game at the very least will be a decent launch game.
Next I have Need for Speed Rivals. Honestly I am still somewhat on the fence about this one because I don't really play all that many racing games. For some reason though the idea of playing as a cop has me intrigued. I'm looking for this to be a purchase sometime between launch and Christmas if I do end up getting it.
Then it's onto Infamous: Second Son. This game is an interesting one to make my list. I did enjoy Infamous 2 that I got for free with playstation plus but I wasn't super crazy for it. I don't really know why. I put some of it on the traversal system but I don't really know why this series up until now hasn't been amazing for me. Second Son however looks incredible to me. I can't wait to check that one out.
Next is Dying Light. Basically it's just really pretty and has an interesting mechanic that might actually manage to make zombies scary in games again.
After that is Destiny. You probably already know about Destiny so I will just say that Halo 3 was one of my favorite games and I pretty much trust that Bungie has another couple great games in them.
Now we get into the games I can't say much about because I don't know all that much and I don't even really know if they will release before November 2014 but they are going on the list anyways.
The Witcher 3 because it looks insane in size and the idea of actually preparing for a battle being part of a game that isn't called Dark/Demon's Souls is pretty novel.
The Division because those gameplay demos they have shown off so far look absolutely amazing.
Dragon Age: Inquisition because I have never played a dragon age game before and I generally like Bioware games.
The Order because it seems to be unique.
Now we go on to the things that are rather obviously not on my list. Here are the justifications as to why I don't plan on getting the following games. I may actually go either way on some of them but at the very least I won't be preordering them.
Call of Duty Ghosts. I just don't play Call of Duty games. I don't really care for modern day realistic shooters. The last realistic shooter series I liked was Medal of Honor into about Frontline and Rising Sun.
Battlefield 4. This one is pretty much the same thing as the above comment. I actually thought I would like battlefield but I played Battlefield 3 with my playstation plus getting me another freebie and I just did not care for it single or multiplayer.
Assassin's Creed 4. I actually might faulter and get this one but so far I have stayed strong. I was out of that series after Brotherhood. I just thought I was tired of the setting getting milked. I was actually pretty hyped for AC3 and was very dissapointed. I never made it to actually playing as Conner before I sold it off. I am actually interested in 4 though because... well... Pirates...
Watch Dogs. This one is really interesting. I had this game preordered. Naturally you know about the delay if you read this site at all. Now I just don't trust it. It's very possible I will end up buying this game but I am definitely waiting for reviews to go up so I can make an informed decision.
There you have it. What will you be getting year one? Anything big that I neglected to mention? By the way my psn ID is WiIIPower18 with capital i's for L's if you would like to add me... I could use all the friends I can get on there my friends list is practically empty.

Today's Lady News: Pssst! Did You Hear Michele Bachmann Might Have Menopause?
- Rep. Michele Bachmann may suffer from migraines, according to a conservative website which is possibly trying to smear the politician. The Republican presidential contender "suffers from stress-induced medical episodes that she has characterized as severe headaches," according to The Daily Caller, which quoted "three people who have worked closely with Bachmann." The Caller claims these "episodes" occur roughly once a week and "incapacitate" Bachmann for days at a time, occasionally landing her in the hospital. Asked one aide who spoke anonymously, "As president, when she's in crisis management mode, is she going to have the physical ability to withstand the most difficult challenges facing America?" Some in the blogosphere are wondering if this leak is trying to insinuate that Bachmann cannot handle the stresses of leadership, possibly because she is a woman. Another theory is that "migraines" is a code word for "menopause," which may also make Bachmann unpalatable as a candidate. Others say there is nothing sexist at all about reporting Bachmann may suffer from migraines (or whatever). What do you think? [Daily Caller, NYmag.com Daily Intel, XX Factor, Care2]
- President Obama has endorsed a bill introduced by Sen. Dianne Feinstein to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act, which dictates that the federal government does not have to honor gay marriages performed by individual states. DOMA also defines marriage as "legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife." [CNN, ThinkProgress]
- A transgender women is suing the state of Alaska via the American Civil Liberties Union for failing to issue her a driver's license with her preferred gender. The state informed the woman, who has lived as a female for the past two years and is identified as a female on her passport, had to to provide proof that she had undergone sex change surgery before it would change her "M" to an "F" on her license. The ACLU claims that providing such "sensitive personal information" or being forced "to make major medical decisions" (if she is pre-op) are unconstitutional. [Fox News]

The secret is the secret - it will not bend, it will not break.
It is meant for greater things than the unknown; shielded and warm.
We give it purpose by our need to know and for that - it shows.
Safely we learn, but never obey; not this day or in any way.
We never truly learn unless we commit; adding to our faith,
The secret is shown and by showing we see a miracle or two,
Basking in the glory when God touched humanity; sacred.
But it fades, it slows until...forgotten; faint in our remembrance.
Holidays and special ceremonies are inacted in that moment's honor
And obedience, is but a thing to worship, but never do. And life continues dying.

Jimbo powermeowww: russia denied india the critical tech info because indians pilots were caught drinking cowpiss in moscow, cuz indians consider COWS as God and drink its piss,,, putin thought of making a new cessna propeller run by cowpiss for indian air force...
Smash: you guys are being so freaking dumb to think Russin is our ally. it is no longer.. Rusia is no longer our friend. It has dumped us and courting china. they have screwed india on many critical parts need for our other fighter jets. and the T 50 project is already screwed. they will not share critical technological transfers and if there is a war, they may just hold on to the parts supplies and we are screwed. Under Putin the barbarian, Russia is more keen to court China. just dont trust the russians. not under Putin. he just thinks indians are stupid.
K MK: +8554326abc Google this article, Indo-Russian Joint development for PAK FGFA- 5th Generation Fighters. This is a beast if it reveal to its potential.

They will bring them to Nellis Air Force Base in USA for Red Flag- just like they did with the SU-30/35 and USA will get all the up close views it wants, fly against it, evaluate it & research it, then go out & build something better. There is a reason the F-22 is not for export sale- the Americans are not stupid enough to let the technology out. But The Russians are Financially desperate. Desperate times breed desperate actions.

Sitting at 5-9-1 in December, the climb back to a .500 record and, more importantly, a feeling of consistency perhaps seemed more daunting to the Arizona Icecats than the record indicated.
The challenge was more than just four games. A myriad of questions surrounded the team entering the second half of the season: Who would play? And who would return?
A rash of injuries to key players including Matt Conover, Cody Morin, Austin Capobianco and Jordan Schupan — as well as academic problems with others — contributed to continuous line changes and tinkering throughout the season.
Add to the chaos the fact that 10 freshmen played significant time on the ice, and it was no wonder veteran defenseman Zach Cherney said it took awhile for the team to blend.
"I think it was the product of being a young team and getting used to each other," he said. "But the coaching staff did a good job of putting different lines together."
Icecats goaltender Nick Boddy said some of the veterans had to make adjustments as well, on and off the ice.
"I'm proud of the way we ended after the trouble we had in the first semester," Boddy said. "I know I made changes in my personal life and others did too, and we became a much tighter group."
Those changes helped lead the Icecats to a 7-2 record over their final nine games, including a dramatic sweep of Arizona State in the final series of the year to finish 14-13-2.
Boddy's stellar play in goal in the second half enabled him to finish as one of Arizona's top goaltenders ever. His 12 career shutouts and a save percentage of 91.8 are both the highest totals in Icecats history.
Playing more freshmen meant Arizona added a third line of players, a change from previous seasons when it primarily played two lines. According to coach Leo Golembiewski, the team used youth to "turn over a psychological leaf."
"We wanted hungry players," Golembiewski said. "We wanted players who felt like it was a privilege to play for Arizona hockey as opposed to a right, which we used to have with some of the older players."
Among the upstart contributors were freshmen Brady Lefferts and Geordy Weed. Lefferts was named the team's Rookie of the Year after he finished third on the team with 24 points, including 12 goals. Weed was selected the team's top defensive player.
Both make up a core group of underclassmen who significantly contributed and will be expected to lead the program even further in 2009-10. For Cherney, a junior, that means starting strong and making the national tournament.
"We're losing some good players, but we'll be very well-rounded next year if we can roll three lines and everyone plays consistent," he said. "It's tough to get in rhythm at the beginning of the year, but we need to try a lot harder because a fast start will put us in position to make the (American Collegiate Hockey Association) tournament."

Plans to increase parking at Frosty's ice cream stand in Depew and add an exit-only drive from the parking area onto Babbette Drive are frosting some residents.
Complaints about Dave Del Carlo's proposal for his ice cream stand are raising safety concerns among residents who say their neighborhood already suffers traffic congestion. He also is looking to make the exit onto Babbette for right turns only.
But Del Carlo says it's safety that is driving his Depew proposal because it can be difficult for people to only enter and exit from George Urban Boulevard. "I want to make it safer," said Del Carlo, owner of both Frosty's in Depew and on Broadway in the Village of Lancaster.
About 60 residents of Babbette Drive signed a petition and submitted it the village late last summer. Residents were complaining earlier this fall to the Village Board about the proposal, and some said that it had been stipulated by the village that a stretch of land between two homes near Frosty's could not be developed and that the only access would be from George Urban.
Babbette Drive resident Anita Peterson, who lives about 10 doors away from Frosty's, and others have openly complained about the plans.
"Our concern as residents was that we want to keep the green space" and prevent resulting traffic-congestion issues, Peterson said.
"We feel it's a safety issue if he proceeds," she said. "You can have a real cluster of traffic at our corner. You will have kids riding their bikes and walking. We fear someone will be hit by a car, coming out from getting ice cream."
Del Carlo said Sunday that he will gain only "a few parking spots" if the plan is approved. He said the chief concern is to limit how much customers have to navigate four lanes of traffic, plus a turning lane, when they now exit his seasonal business onto George Urban.
Del Carlo also says that the proposed exit from his property onto Babbette would be just for exiting and that traffic could only turn right onto Babbette. "This is all about safety. It won't increase traffic down the road," he said. "I'm a family-run fun place, and we're looking for safety. Backing onto George Urban – that's a risk, no matter what your age."
In one case last summer, he said, a customer drove through a nearby wooden fence and almost hit a neighboring house. Del Carlo said that many of his customers back out onto George Urban when leaving Frosty's.
Del Carlo also said it was his understanding that the changes were approved by the village last month.
But that is not the case.
Mayor Steven P. Hoffman said the issue will be aired next by the village's Zoning Board of Appeals, which will meet later this month. He did say, however, that what Del Carlo proposes "mirrors" what other area businesses do with exiting onto residential streets that are near George Urban.
Frosty's does not have enough of a setback for the proposed change, so a hardship needs to be proven – thus, the review by the zoning panel, Hoffman said.

This may be a flame sensor issue.
The flame sensor rod is a small thin steel rod that is straight or L shaped. It is usually located inside the furnace cabinet near the pilot igniter or the outside corners of the burner tray.
Locate it, remove it, and clean it very good with a piece of sandpaper. Scrub is very very good, then replace it.
Let me know if this does the trick.
Could this cause an intermittent problem? sometimes the furnace will keep lit.,other times it still lights ok but goes out after 4-6 sec
Yes it definitely can cause a intermittent problem.
thanks, XXXXX XXXXX that
Corrosion can build up on the flame sensor rod and prevent it from sensing the flame consistently.

Visit To Bhutan
Paul Reynolds
Reporting from Bhutan
The heir to the British throne, Prince Charles, recently visited the mountain kingdom of Bhutan, which nestles high in the Himalayas between the two Asian giants of India and China. The King, the country's absolute ruler, pursues a policy of near isolation to preserve Bhutan's distinctive Buddhist culture and values. But there is a down side: political activity is outlawed and demands for reform repressed. A hundred-thousand Nepali speakers have been expelled and are now living in UN refugee camps. Paul Reynolds accompanied the Prince of Wales on his visit.
On the last morning of our four day visit to Bhutan, we were having breakfast in the dining room of the Olathang Hotel on a mountainside above the small town of Paro when the foreign minister joined us, smoking a large Havana cigar. "We" were the small British media party allowed to accompany Prince Charles. The minister was Dawa Tsering, who has been foreign minister for no less than 28 years. I finished my porridge, presumably a legacy from the days when Bhutan was in effect a protectorate of the British Indian Empire, and turned to hear the latest attack on the BBC, which the minister was developing.
He was perfectly charming, and his English, like that of all the elite in Bhutan, was accomplished. It was also scattered with delightfully old fashioned phrases picked up in private Indian schools. It was, he said, "jolly unfair" that I had interviewed a Bhutanese refugee in Nepal before coming to Bhutan. Didn't I know that he was a "notorious character", and that others with him were "conmen" and "embezzlers"? The smoke from the Havana lingered over the table. The cigar, the minister explained with a smile, had been a present from the Cuban foreign minister after Bhutan switched its UN general assembly vote to support an end to American sanctions on Cuba.
Bhutan is the size of Switzerland. It contains some of the most beautiful alpine scenery imaginable, and I was struck with wonder at the place from the moment that the small British Aerospace 146 of the national airline twisted its way into the country's only airport in the Paro valley. Only 600,000 people live in this wilderness and most of them are from one clan or group, the "Drukpa" or west Bhutanese. They are of Tibetan origin and have a determined adherence to their mountain traditions of Buddhism, culture and architecture.
These are indeed strong and attractive, and, led by their 42 year old King Jigme Singye Wangchuk, they are attempting a dramatic model of social development, trying to pick and choose what they want from the modern world. To the romantic traveller, this is a fascination. There is no television, and almost no traffic, though curiously, plenty of policemen directing traffic, the only set of traffic lights was recently removed as unnecessary.
The architecture is a dream come true for Prince Charles, and carefully monitored by the King himself. The local alpine style has to be followed and it gives the place a marvellous sense of tradition. Even a new hospital in Paro had been built in the same style, to great effect. There is an approved national dress, which men must wear at least in public. The administration is still carried out from the huge fortress monasteries, the dzongs, which have dominated the mountain passes for centuries.
One day we climbed a sacred mountain which is a place of pilgrimage for all believers. To keep out the backpackers, Bhutan imposes a minimum charge of two hundred dollars a day for travellers.It would be wrong, however, to leave it there. Bhutan is not just a backwater Shangri-La. It is busy modernising in its own way, using the growing income it gets from selling hydro-electric power to India. One day it could be very rich.
It's putting tremendous emphasis on education and sends 1,000 of its best and brightest students abroad to study each year. The language of instruction in schools is English. This means that even the humblest child on a mountain road says with a smile: "have a safe journey". It has got the Finns to survey its forests and is determined not to let these be cut down. There are checkpoints along the few roads to prevent the transport of illegally felled trees.
The minister at the breakfast table somehow felt that one or two of us had not got the message about what a perfect place this was. We had concentrated too much on the plight, the alleged plight, as he would say, of the 100,000 Nepali speakers, the descendants of plantation workers brought in a century ago, who are living in UN camps in Nepal.
They say they have been forced out of Bhutan by restrictive citizenship laws, ethnic cleansing if you like, by administrative means. The minister said that they weren't from Bhutan at all. Our policy is "one nation, one people," he said, puffing on his cigar. Preserving identity is what Bhutan is doing. It was the dark side of Shangri-La.

What You Mean To Me - Poem by Angela Wybrow
You're the jam upon my bread;
The sweet dream in my head.
You're the icing on the cake;
The shimmer on the lake.
You're the sugar in my tea;
The sparkle of the sea.
You're the brightness of the sun;
The spiciness of a bun.
You're the melody of a tune;
The glow upon the moon.
You're the treacle in my tart;
The beat within my heart.
You're the wish within a well;
The tinkling of a bell.
You're the honey on my toast;
The Yorkshire with my roast.
You're the song of every bird;
The sweetness of lemon curd.
You're the fragrance of a rose;
The sand beneath my toes.
You're the filling in my pie;
The apple of my eye.
You're the freshness of the rain;
The heat in every flame.
I want the world to see
Just what you mean to me.

Subject: Off Topic : FOSS security DVR system needed
Once again I am shamelessly imposing on the awesome depth and breadth of

Right now, we sell a service that can include a multi camera security
DVR system. The user can connect to this camera from there home (or
vacation) Internet connection and see what is happening at the office.
Having m0n0wall helps, as the traffic shaper makes a big difference
here. :) (There is the connection) Right now we are using Geovision,
and LuxRiot, and Windows is killing me! Stability is a nightmare, and
telling people to constantly reboot the security system is not an option
I want to consider. I would love to find a good stable Linux (or any
*nix) system I could remotely manage. Please help me! (Oh, and cost is
a consideration, but not the main one) Thanks,

During his professional career he's worked as a college professor, a newspaper printer, an advertising sales rep for a newspaper, and was the general manager for the Deseret News Press. He has also served as President of the Printing Industry of Utah and a board member of the Printing Industries of America.

He was ordained an Apostle on October 10, 1963, and became Church President in January 2008.
Since his calling to be Church President, Thomas Monson primarily lives in a suite in this apartment building which is owned by the LDS Church.

F20 drains battery while turned off. Anyone else with this issue on an older camera?
Yes I know this camera is old, but it still works great and takes excellent pictures, so I'd like to still be able to use it. The problem is that if I leave the battery in the camera, it gets completely drained after 2 or 3 days, even if the camera is not used at all during that time. If I remove the battery from the camera, it will hold its charge for months outside the camera. I also bought a 2nd battery and it does exactly the same thing, so it definitely seems like an issue with the camera itself and not the batteries.
If I remove the battery from the camera while not in use, then the battery will hold its charge. This is a hassle though, because the camera looses all its settings and the date/time if the battery is removed for very long.
The camera did not have this problem during the first several years of its life. The battery used to last "forever".
I searched and found a few other threads about similar issues with other Fuji models, but no info on causes or solutions.
I have a few theories (based purely on guesses, since I'm not an electronics expert):
A) Maybe the flash capacitor is not holding it's charge, and the camera is continuously trying to charge that capacitor even when he camera is off.
B) Maybe some kind of internal short has developed which drains he battery. Not sure why this would happen though, or why the camera would continue to function normally other than the battery drain.
C) I took the camera apart and there is a small internal battery, like a watch battery, that is attached to the main board. This battery may be dieing or dead due to age, causing he camera to go into some funky battery-draining state while the camera is off. Unfortunately this battery seems to be glued/soldered in place on the delicate dual-sided surface mount PC board, so not easy for an amateur to replace.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Any other info or theories about the cause or solution for this problem?
Thanks in advance for any info!

Logan • For a while, TeNale Roland wasn't just the shortest player on the Utah State roster, he was also one of the hardest to notice.
For a six-game stretch, the Aggies' backup point guard didn't make a huge impact, totaling only 19 points and four assists during a 5-1 run for the team. But since being thrust back into starters' minutes if not the starting lineup he's been gradually working his way to being more effective.
The recent three-game win streak has been something of a rebirth for Roland, who has rediscovered some once-dormant abilities. Early in the season, he was often shut down by bigger defenders. Lately, his penetration has helped diversify Utah State's offense.
"It's been mainly being aggressive, playing harder on both sides of the ball," the junior says. "I've been working on my one- and two-dribble jump shots, and I can shoot over bigger guys, hit floaters and things like that. And if they go up, I can dish to one of the big guys."
The latest rise in Roland's play has led to him averaging nine points per game on 10-for-21 shooting in the winning streak. Utah State uses him at both the point guard spot and shooting guard position, so any points the Aggies can get from him are welcome relief.
"We needed him to [play better]," coach Stew Morrill said. "His nature is to kind of cruise along. We need him to set his jaw and play physical. He's done a better job of being aggressive."
Depth making game prep difficult
Morrill is used to having a difficult slog through February. This month is an entirely new beast.
Morrill and his staff have to consider how to hold practice with eight scholarship players and no subs.
Besides having to determine how to keep the energy up throughout practice, the Aggies also have to give reps to Roland at shooting guard and Jordan Stone at power forward.
That means some practice minutes go to team managers, staff members, or whoever has two legs and can guard. It adds a lot of stress to an already stressful month, Morrill said during his Tuesday news conference.
"It's a mix-and-match puzzle and quite a mess, to be frank," Morrill said. "It's hard to get guys reps so they know what they're doing at their positions."

Message to Nebraska 8th Graders: 'Take rigorous courses'
- 02/04/2003
The information packet –in English and Spanish– describes the University of Nebraska's requirements for admission, which include four years of high school English, three years each of math, social studies and science, and two years of a foreign language. It notes that the University of Nebraska-Lincoln requires a fourth year of math. The packets also provide information on college entrance exams. NU requires that students be in the top half of their high school class and have a score of at least 950 on the SAT or 20 on the ACT for admission.
Smith and Christensen also advise students to attend career days and college fairs, visit college campuses, and talk to their counselors about available financial aid and scholarships. 'We hope you will decide to go to college, and we want you to know you can –if you do good work in high school,' their letter explains, adding that 'the best single predictor of success in getting into college is the number of challenging college-prep courses you take, and the best predictor of success in college is your high school grade-point average.'
The two educators also have a request of parents: 'We hope you will encourage your son or daughter to pursue challenging courses in high school. Choices made in high school can open a wide range of opportunities or impose severe limits.'
Information packets also are being distributed to a variety of community centers across the state and may be ordered on the University of Nebraska website, www.nebraska.edu under 'Prospective Students.'

Through the development of superior plant varieties that benefit from high agrochemical inputs and irrigation, the agricultural Green Revolution has doubled crop yields, yet introduced unintended impacts on environment. An expected 50% growth in world population during the 21st century demands novel integration of advanced technologies and low-input production systems based on soil and plant biology, targeting precision delivery of inputs synchronized with growth stages of crop plants. Further, successful systems will integrate subsurface water, air and nutrient delivery, real-time soil parameter data and computer-based decision-making to mitigate plant stress and actively manipulate microbial rhizosphere communities that stimulate productivity. Such an approach will ensure food security and mitigate impacts of climate change.
Though modern agricultural management practices developed during the 20th century,
The degradation of aquatic ecosystems through the construction of water diversion structures, soil erosion, and salt and nutrient loading has contributed to a generally negative public attitude toward irrigation in production agriculture [
Low crop use-efficiencies for both water and agrochemicals have led to water resource depletion, aquatic ecosystem degradation, and increased greenhouse gas emissions from arable lands. A growing reliance on chemical fertilizers (nitrogen and phosphorous in particular) has drastically increased input costs for producers over the past half century. In addition to soaring costs, the negative impacts on human and environmental health associated with widespread use (and overuse) of chemical fertilizers are numerous. Runoff and volatilization of nitrogen and phosphorous continues to adversely affect human health. Ecosystems exposed to excessive nitrogen and phosphorous inputs may increase the prevalence of parasitic and infectious diseases (e.g., malaria, West Nile virus, cholera, and schistosomiasis) [
Excessive nitrogen can wreak havoc on natural ecosystems. Evolution of the many molecular forms of nitrogen (nitrate, nitrite, nitric oxide, and nitrous oxide) through the environment allow nitrogen ions to contribute to more than one of several detrimental environmental impacts; including loss of biodiversity, eutrophication of coastal rivers and bays (affecting approximately 67% of coastal ecosystems in the United States of America) [
Active nitrogen from agricultural lands is projected to deposit approximately 10 kg N ha−1 yr−1 into the environment by 2050; a rate twenty times that of natural deposition [
The deterioration of natural ecosystems (e.g., eutrophication of coastal environments and greenhouse gas emissions), depletion of resources (e.g., water withdraw in excess of natural recharge), increasingly limited and expensive inputs (e.g., fertilizers and pesticides), and adverse impacts on human health require new, innovative approaches to agricultural management in order to meet the demands of a rapidly growing global population. These approaches should strive for the sustainable intensification of production through the maximization of agricultural yields and minimization of negative impacts. Twenty-first century management practices must balance agricultural production needs and ecosystem goods and services (e.g., potable water, biodiversity, carbon storage, pest control, pollination, fisheries, and recreation) [
New super varieties (
Low agricultural water-use efficiencies are of increasing concern to both producers and consumers. Globally, human water consumption now represents 23% of the renewable fresh water supply [
Efforts to better manage water usage in agriculture is complicated by the fact that many of the services provided by natural aquatic ecosystems that are of importance to urban populations have little or no value to agriculture producers [
In addition to growing concerns over water resource stresses, large-scale irrigation has also begun to attract scrutiny for its potential negative impact on human health. Representing 95% of irrigation systems worldwide [
Decreasing (or limited) fresh water supplies and environmental concerns have, over the course of the past 30 years, slowed investments in irrigation (5% decrease per capita) [
Beyond increased investments in irrigation systems and development of stress resistant super varieties, large applications of nitrogen and phosphorous fertilizers have also contributed to increased yields during the past half century. In fact, between 30% and 50% of yield increases associated with the Green Revolution have been attributed to increases in chemical nitrogen applications [
Over the past four decades growing dependence of agriculture on chemical fertilizers has resulted in a massive increase in the global application of nitrogen and phosphorous [
Scientific and technological innovations have fundamentally shaped the history of agriculture and, consequently, the history of human civilization; with the continual development and refinement of tools and methodologies for agricultural production fueling at least five distinct agricultural revolutions. These include: the Neolithic revolution beginning around 9000 BC, the ancient revolution beginning around 3500 BC, the medieval revolution beginning around 500 AD, the contemporary revolution of the eighteenth century, and Green Revolution of the mid-twentieth century [
Luther Burbank oversaw an intensive breeding program during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, developing new varieties of fruits, flowers, grains, grasses, and vegetables; creating and utilizing novel grafting, hybridization, and cross-breeding techniques [
Justus von Liebig's research during the mid-19th century laid the foundation for modern inorganic and organic chemistry [
Beginning in the mid-1960s and continuing through to today, the Green Revolution has approximately doubled agricultural yields through intensification of crop production [
Despite the agricultural advances of the past half century, 6 billion people currently live in poverty, 2 billion lack a diet containing sufficient iron, iodine, and vitamin A, and 840 million are undernourished [
A contributing factor to intensive agricultural production is modern irrigation. Field irrigation systems are designed around several criteria; including start-up costs, field characteristics (e.g., shape, size, and soil type), available water resources, local climate, and crop varieties [
Over the past half century modern industry has successfully incorporated advanced technologies (e.g., automation through the utilization of modern robotic and sensor systems) into production strategies; a synthesis that has yet to be fully realized in agricultural production [
Approaches to agriculture management can be broadly grouped into three distinct categories; all of which involve making the growing environment and resource inputs more favorable for crops [
Meso-level agricultural management schema exploit soil parameter data (e.g., moisture, temperature, acidity, and nutrient concentrations) to variably apply inputs
Micro-level agricultural management approaches are beginning to emerge as an advanced alternative to traditional macro- and meso-level management [
Millions of years of coevolution of terrestrial plants and soil microorganisms have resulted in plant-microorganism relationships that support an incalculable number of functional interactions [
Soil microorganisms are an integral component of the soil solution (affecting soil health both positively and negatively) [
Rhizodeposition by plants, combined with root turnover, is a major driver of soil microbiological processes; accounting for up to 40% of carbon input into soil [
Plant-microbial associations are
Colonization of plants by soil microorganisms follows several phases, such as: gene-based recognition and chemotaxis [
Though plant roots are the largest fraction of biological material in most arable soils [
Despite a historical knowledge in the scientific community of the existence of symbiotic plant-microbial associations, only recently have scientists begun to study in depth mechanisms of the benefits of these relationships [
Commonly known plant growth-promoting microorganisms are bacterial or fungal in nature. Bacterial species of interest primarily include
A majority of surveyed plant species and families have been found to host arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi [
One of the major soil inhabitants, protozoa, also significantly influences soil microbial communities. Protozoan biomass is substantial; equaling or exceeding all other soil animal groups combined and exerting greater influence on plant biomass and nutrient turnover than earthworms [
Nitrogen and phosphorous are growth limiting plant nutrients; often greatly affecting crop yields [
Soil microorganisms are an integral part of the soil nitrogen cycle involving fixation, nitrification, denitrification, and mineralization [
Symbiotic biological nitrogen fixers are commonly associated with leguminous crops, with over 15,000 species forming specific associations with root nodulating nitrogen fixing
Phosphorous promotes nitrogen fixation in leguminous crops and is essential for photosynthesis, and energy and sugar production [
Phytohormone production helps to prevent plant infections [
Plant growth promoting microorganisms may also reduce the production of ethylene through the excretion of ACC deaminase that can cleave the precursor of ethylene, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC), to ammonia and α-ketobutyrate [
Similar to biofertilization, microorganisms could also be utilized as biological pest controllers (
Utilization of plant growth-promoting microorganisms (e.g., through biofertilization, biological pest control, or phytohormone production) can be realized either through the management of native soil microorganisms or through inoculation of crops with autochthonous microorganisms [
Inoculants are typically applied via seed amendments [
Potential microbial inoculants include both bacteria (e.g., Pseudomonads and cyanobacteria) and fungi, with combinations of multiple bacterial strains and/or bacterial and fungal strains improving inoculant survival and efficiencies [
Goals and challenges of 21st century sustainable agriculture include increased resource-use efficiencies, internal regulation of biological processes under agriculture production management, and the closing of nutrient cycles within agricultural production systems (
Successful approaches to precision soil management for sustainable agriculture research leading to the refinement of production systems (e.g., sustainable intensification) will utilize smart fields that combine affordable, commercially available environmental sensors, digital imaging and data analysis, subsurface precision soil and plant-input delivery, and ground- and aerial-based autonomous vehicle technologies. Development of these systems will require collaborative, interdisciplinary teams comprised of soil and crop scientists, agronomists, foresters, microbial ecologists, and engineers [
Replacing flood irrigation with sub-irrigation and/or surface drip irrigation is a high priority in sustainable agriculture production [
In addition to irrigation, subsurface precision delivery systems in combination with fixed and vehicle-mounted mobile sensor suites will allow managers and researchers to actively manipulate microbial communities in soil, and/or plant growth media, that affect soil health and structure through the real time delivery of supplementary inputs such as gas (air, hydrogen, or other gases/gas mixtures), soluble fertilizers (organic and/or inorganic) and plant protection chemicals in time [
Investigations into plant inoculation with beneficial microorganisms in laboratories and/or greenhouses are insufficient for field-level research due, in part, to the physical, chemical and biological differences between laboratory/greenhouse and field soil conditions (
The initial goals of the smart field investigations could focus on establishing beneficial plant associated microbial consortia through the utilization of soil priming techniques (e.g., to set the readiness of soil to receive specific growth-promoting crop-associated microorganisms); helping to improve beneficial microbial growth, increase humification of soil organic matter, and improve soil mineral and water holding capacities [
Environmental factors affecting soil microorganisms include temperature, sugar content, carbon dioxide levels, aeration, and native microflora and micro and meso-fauna [
Microbial fertilization (biofertilization) and manipulation of rhizosphere microorganisms by inputs of carbohydrates, carboxylic acids, and amino acids could be utilized to promote specific plant-microbial associations [
Negative impacts of monoculture practices (lack of crop production diversity) are a significant modern agricultural issue; with maize, soybean, and wheat representing over two-thirds of all crops planted each year in the United States [
A technologically advanced smart field platform may also be utilized for the field-level establishment and promotion of plant propagules primed via biotization. Biotization is defined as "the metabolic response of
Furthermore, the proposed smart field technology platform could be used to provide insight into signal transduction and recognition mechanisms in plant-microbe and microbe-microbe interactions under varying environmental conditions [
In the coming years we will see unprecedented investment in sustainable technologies and practices that impact critical resources such as energy, food, and water. An obvious intersection and opportunity to positively manage and impact these resources is in agriculture, where production of sustainable energy crops and regional foods must be managed in ways that improve water quality, as compared to traditional agriculture methods which are typically not sustainable and may negatively affect water resources. Moving forward, it can be argued that the infusion of engineering technologies is needed to fully realize the economic and social benefits promised by sustainable practices—especially since many agriculture activities rely on limited or dated technologies.
One opportunity for interdisciplinary research in smart fields is the development of the next-generation technology platforms that marry the best-of-breed in agriculture, human-computer interaction, and advanced engineering (see
The interacting components of the next-generation, sustainable agriculture technology platform. Research in the green area addresses information flow, accessibility, and areas of human-computer interaction. Research in the blue areas represent advanced agricultural irrigation practices [
The platform conceptually contains three broad areas of expertise: advanced agriculture, human-computer-interaction, and engineering. In the most general sense, the advanced agricultural research employs rhizosphere-, ground vehicle-, and aerial vehicle-based sensor suites to precisely manage the rhizosphere while monitoring (in real-time) soil and plant health. Fixed position sensor nodes could be integrated with autonomous ground- and aerial-based sensor suites to non-destructively monitor abiotic and biotic crop stressors that affect crop growth and health (e.g., track and monitor airborne plant pathogens) [
Genetically-based microbial profiling allows microbial population dynamics to be linked to soil type and farming inputs and outputs as well as to distinguish between active and dormant bacteria [
Additionally, smart field data collection and analysis (e.g., soil, plant, and environmental monitoring) could provide real-time ecophysiological information that, combined with genetic mapping, would facilitate the development of robust crop systems biology models for predicting and monitoring crop growth and yield performance under varying environmental conditions at the field-level. Ogata [
An emphasis on human-computer interaction (HCI) is needed to ensure that smart fields do not become overwhelming and technologically confusing for farm managers. The technology platform employs concepts of location-based network services (LBNS), GPS and mobile broadband internet to allow farm managers with handheld phones to interact with sensor suites and advanced information placed throughout the plot. This approach allows software components to reside on individual handhelds (as opposed to secondary servers), independent of any other computing platforms. As such, each handheld and sensor suite can act as independent agents, connecting with each other only when in proximity to each other. This strategy also simplifies maintenance and troubleshooting during application phases—since all software functionality is self-contained on each individual handheld. More advanced concepts include the integration of mesh networks, cellular networks, or wi-fi clouds to support sophisticated communication between sensors, as well as more advanced data mining, analyses, and visualization (e.g., temporal 3D contour plots and GIS overlays).
All data are available via web services so that both handhelds and stationary desktop computers can make real-time requests from sensor suite data. The sensor suite's microprocessor retrieves the latest data from the sensors and formats them into a webpage—available to farm managers on-the-go, agriculture office computers and even teachers and students in the classrooms. In this platform, all users access webpage containing real-time information streaming from particular sensors of interest.
The novelty (and power) of this approach is that by employing LBNS (see [
Advanced engineering research can further enhance the technology platform, for example, by employing real-time imaging modeling techniques to model and monitor plant growth stages. Images are obtained via autonomous vehicle(s) (on ground and/or aerial), and then processed to determine plant stage. This method allows the extension of precision delivery, beyond simply "space" and into "time". That is, enabling automated delivery of various fertilizers and supplements throughout an individual plant's lifecycle. Moreover, these image/vision analysis techniques are used to assist in soil sensor fusion and data integration. Large amounts of spatial and temporal data about the soil's health are condensed into meaningful data that are presented spatially via handheld mobile displays; employing Augmented Reality overlay techniques to perceptually attach digital information to actual crops. Specifically, one can imagine a scenario where a farm manager takes a digital photo of a plot and then views that same photo with additional information overlaid onto the photo. Conceptually, the photo is sent via network to visual analysis software agents where a spatial model is created (using photographs and stored spatial models) and married with geo-located real-time soil data. The information is then rendered on top of the photograph and displayed to the farm manager. These customized displays can be easily understood and acted upon by the farm manager.
The smart field platform can also utilize autonomous robots that will "work in the field" and facilitate sustainable agriculture through precision delivery of inputs. These autonomous robots can plug in to the technology platform (
The elements of the proposed technology platform can be utilized either independently, or integrated, depending on the socioeconomic realities of the farming site/community/region,

FLORENCE – Thanks to the Pee Dee Education Foundation, Bruce Mallick is teaching manners to his students at Briggs Elementary, where he is a student-teacher. And for their final, when they complete their studies, Mallick will take the students to a meal in a local restaurant to test their mannerly skills.
Mallick, pursuing a master's degree in education from Francis Marion University, was required as part of a class assignment to write a grant request. His request was for funding of the manners course. The Pee Dee Education Foundation accepted his mini-grant proposal, and funded the program.
Mallick, who holds a B.S. degree in Criminal Justice from St. Leo University, and who is retired from the U.S. Army, was able to purchase a five-piece setting of silverware and an eight-piece china place setting, all the niceties of place settings.
Through his "Manners a Step in the Right Direction," Mallick has taught his "children to eat their French fries with their forks in the cafeteria. My children ask to be excused in order to take their trays up when they are finished eating," he says.
He has also explained finger foods and fork foods, how to eat with one hand, keeping the other on the napkin in your lap, and how and when to properly use all the utensils at a place setting. He has also taught them how to budget when buying foods, and what are nutritious foods. Also, how to sit ladies first, hold the door for ladies and how to serve as hosts and hostesses, properly seating guests at a table.
Mallick, enrolled in FMU professor of education Mike Madden's class, was one of nine Florence School District One teachers who received the $500 grant. His was the only student-teacher grant proposal accepted.
Madden, who also serves as Mallick's supervisor for student teaching, said he has seen how he has woven manners into everyday instruction, and even part of his homework.
"His kids, for example, have to help the moms set the table at home, and then report back on how well they did. The students with whom he works learn productive ways to handle common situations, skills that will be essential for them to be successful," Madden said.
The writing of the grant proposal was included in the graduate course "Management of Classroom Conflict." Often what appear to be "discipline" problems are actually problems with instruction, Madden said. Also, funding innovative ideas to approach conflict resolution frequently comes from teachers' purses. Having the FMU students write grant requests represents one way for them to build support in the community for worthwhile projects.
In a previous class, one of Madden's students used the grant writing assignment to develop a proposal for a mobile computer lab to be shared among several middle school teachers. That initiative was ultimately funded by the state Department of Education. Others have submitted their ideas to competitions sponsored by BellSouth.
