Chapter 6: Measuring household vulnerability to food insecurity
This section combines some of the single-factor indicators of HFS analysed above in an attempt to characterize household vulnerability to food insecurity in a more comprehensive manner. This simple exercise is intended to lay the groundwork for further research on HFS indicators, while still providing project staff and policy-makers with useful insights on the HFS debate in two geographical areas of IFAD intervention.
In order to construct the indicator, the household must be characterized on the basis of the following features: (i) food production/food market dependency; (ii) income; (iii) asset ownership; (iv)income diversification; and (v) crop diversification. The proxies used for each of these components are, respectively, the household's corn market dependency ratio14, total household income, liquid asset stocks15, the number of income sources and the number of crops grown. The first variable is included in the indicator to reflect the source of household food supply. The second indicates the household's ability to access food through earned revenues. The third reflects the household's ability to cope with short-term food shortages, while the last two variables are indicative of the household's strategy in reducing the risk of entitlement failure. Each individual variable is ranked from worse off to better off, and the observations are grouped into terciles16. It is assumed that belonging to the low tercile contributes nothing to the HFS measure; the medium tercile, 1 point; and the high tercile, 2 points. The partial scores are added for each individual household.17 Total scores of up to 3 points are presumed to reflect extreme vulnerability, while from 4 to 7 indicates medium vulnerability and from 8 to 12, low vulnerability.18
The results of this simple exercise are reported in Table 17 and Figure 1.19 Households in Suchiquer show, on average, the highest overall vulnerability to food insecurity, with a striking 60% of households falling into the category of extreme vulnerability and less than 9% characterized by low vulnerability. Tituque follows, with almost 30% of its households in the extremely vulnerable group.20 Tituque and the NTX communities present less egalitarian distribution in terms of the indicator, with approximately one third of households in each tercile.
In almost all communities, participation in IFAD projects is positively correlated with lower levels of vulnerability to food insecurity. The exception is Suchiquer, the community with the greatest exposure to food insecurity, where project beneficiaries appear unable to improve their ability to cope with food inadequacy, at least for those determinants included in the present indicator. Based on the data at hand, it is still unclear whether the project can be given credit for the improvements in all the other communities, or whether the relationship is merely a reflection of pre-existing heterogeneities between the two groups.
In Table 16, the figures associating the adoption of NTX with household vulnerability to food insecurity reveal that fewer NTX adopters indicate extreme levels of food vulnerability compared with non-adopters. Once again the extent of the causality is uncertain. Whether the adoption of NTX can be given credit for lessening household vulnerability, or whether superior household endowments led to the choice in the first place, remains unclear. Nevertheless, the findings point to the fact that, based on our assumptions, NTX households are currently less vulnerable to food entitlement failure and better endowed to cope with future problems emerging from the production of NTXs.
Finally, Table 18 and Figure 3 present data on the relationship between household vulnerability and women's socio-economic status. Regarding the latter, the amount of income earned by women from petty trading, as well as the share of the household's petty trading income controlled by women, have been used as proxies. The figures appear to support the existence of a weak but positive relationship between women's income and HFS. The findings, however, constitute grounds for further investigation, since the correlation may be the result of spurious factors and not women's income alone.
To this end, Table 19 reports the results of a regression analysis in an attempt to simultaneously relate our indicator to some exogenous features characterizing the households surveyed. The coefficient on total cultivated land is positive and significant, indicating a positive relationship between household wealth and food security. A look at the differences in income sources can substantially add to the assessment of HFS. The regression results reveal a negative relationship between the share of off-farm income and food security. The causality of the relationship is uncertain, since it may be the case that food-insecure households are more likely to seek work outside their farm or community. Alternatively, the negative coefficient could be the result of the direct impact of off-farm labour on the household's well-being as a result of prolonged absence from the home or issues related to income control (off-farm labour is almost exclusively a male activity). On the other hand, households deriving higher shares of their income from NTX production appear to be better off from a food security standpoint. The coefficient on women's income is positive but not strongly significant – possibly as a result of the relatively low returns and insufficient income women have been able to earn so far from petty trading (the mean sample is less than Q 500 per year).
In contrast with what is stated in the literature (Haddad et al. 1994), the larger families in the sample appear relatively better off in terms of the HFS indicator, although the marginal effect is quite low. However, households demonstrating higher dependency ratios21 are more vulnerable from a food security standpoint, indicating the importance of household composition for the purpose of food security targeting. Also, households with an older female household head appear less prone to food insecurity. This variable is likely to capture the effect of unobservable endowments, skills and experience that are associated with women's age. Furthermore, although the coefficient is not strongly significant, households in which the women are better educated appear to be less food insecure.
As shown earlier in the univariate analysis, project participation appears to have a positive correlation with food security. However, it is not possible – based on this data – to make any inference on the causality of the relationship. Finally, significant community-specific heterogeneities are captured in the set of community dummies. Holding all the above features constant, households in the Cuchumatanes project are better off than households in Tituque, the community numeraire. On the other hand, the negative coefficient for Suchiquer (the pure subsistence system) once again confirms the significantly poorer conditions and more deficient endowment of households in this community, even when compared with a not so well off community such as Tituque.
In summary, the preliminary findings endorse the use of composite indicators in locating the most vulnerable groups from a food security standpoint. They also illustrate the important role played by IFAD projects in reducing household vulnerability to food insecurity across the communities surveyed. Furthermore, the univariate analysis initially hinted at the existence of a weak but positive relationship between women's income and HFS. The regression analysis confirmed the feeble nature of this correlation, as a result perhaps of women's income levels being insufficiently high for this to trickle down to improved food security. However, further investigation on this relationship is needed in order to obtain a clear assessment of the role of women's income in the HFS strategy.
14/ As has been repeatedly mentioned, the author is well aware that higher dependency on food markets may not always translate into higher food insecurity, particularly in the presence of high uncertainty in production. However, the claim in constructing the composite indicator is that extremely high food dependency - combined with low income, inadequate diversification and poor assets - is likely to be associated with extreme vulnerability to food insecurity.
15/ Liquid assets include ownership of chickens and pigs. As these assets are considered to be the most 'liquid', they are therefore the most relevant to the household coping strategy dealing with short-term food shortages.
16/ For the total income variable, the low tercile includes households with income up to Q 2 340, the medium tercile, incomes between Q 2 341 and Q 5 180, and the high tercile, incomes above Q 5 180. For corn market dependency, the low tercile includes values of the dependency ratio between 57 and 100%, the medium tercile, between 17 and 56.9%, and the high tercile values between 0 and 16.9%. The values for the income diversification terciles are one source for the low tercile, two sources for the middle, and more than two sources for the high tercile. For crop diversification, the low tercile includes all households growing up to two crops, the middle tercile, three crops and the high tercile, more than three crops. The threshold values for animal stocks are up to 5 chickens and 0 pigs for the low terciles, between 6 and 13 chickens and 0 pigs for the middle terciles and more than 13 chickens and at least 1 pig for the high terciles.
17/ The relationships between this household-specific measure and the single-factor indicators that compose it are mapped out in Figure 2.
18/ The indicator constructed is by no means an absolute indicator of vulnerability. The only scope of the preliminary exercise is to locate those households that exhibit simultaneously all those critical features that are likely to be negatively associated with food security - namely, low income, low staple production, low diversification and scarce assets. As such, the indicator can be used with some confidence to identify the most vulnerable groups within a region (relative to the remaining population) from a food security standpoint. Furthermore, attempts to relate this type of relative measure to some benchmark indicator should be pursued in further research.
19/ In Figure 1, the first bar in each production system (marked with B) refers to beneficiary households, the middle one (marked with NB) to non-beneficiaries, and the third and last one (marked with ALL) to the total.
20/ Tituque had scored substantially worse in a computation of an alternative set of indicators that did not take into account crop diversification.
21/ The household dependency ratio was computed as the number of household members below the age of 13 and above the age of 65 over the total family size.

Which Type of Trust for Inter-firm Learning?
This study investigates the association between types of trust and inter-firm learning in buyer-supplier exchanges in an industrial cluster. More specifically, the study explores the impact of trust types on knowledge sharing among manufacturer and retailer SMEs in a furniture cluster. The results of empirical data from 158 manufacturers suggest no significant association between trust based on competence, reliability and predictability and inter-firm learning and a significant positive association between trust based on goodwill, benevolence and non-opportunism and inter-firm learning. The study findings integrate research on the relational and knowledge-related aspects of knowledge exchange at the dyadic inter-firm level.

Yesterday I tried to cook through it until the total cook time hit 14 hours then I surrendered and cranked the smoker to 300 degrees until IT hit 195. The brisket was tender, tasted great, but I think the added time dried it out a bit. I'm in Houston (humid) and I use water in my drip pan. I'm starting to think I have one of two issues: 1) too much humidity in the chamber, or 2) too much heat loss due to the thin metal on the smoker, i.e. grill temp is 225 but air temp much cooler above the grill. We like the bark crunchy so I'm not doing foil wrap. I did let it rest after for 30 mins. Very little juice upon carving.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

The name of a woman from Germany who died this morning during a skydiving event in Eloy was released by authorities.
Sgt. Brian Jerome with the Eloy Police Department identified the victim as Diana Paris, 46, from Berlin, Germany. Her husband told police she had completed 1,500 jumps in her skydiving career.
Paris was jumping at about 7:30 a.m. when her parachute malfunctioned, Jocelyn Bernatchez, spokeswoman for Skydive Arizona, said in an email. "The malfunctioning parachute was released too low to allow the reserve parachute to fully open."
Paris was pronounced dead at the scene.
Skydive Arizona was hosting a World Team event when the accident occurred. World Team is an international skydiving team "comprised of world class athletes, professional camera flyers, skilled pilots, and support personnel," according to its website.
Eloy is located about half way between Tucson and Phoenix.
The accident happened during an attempt to set a world skydiving record by having more than 220 people freefall from an airplane in formation.
The group of 222 people from 28 countries was to free-fall from about 18,000 feet, come together in a formation before separating and doing another formation, then pull their parachutes.
The skydivers jumped at such a high elevation that they needed oxygen masks in the airplane, and they hurtled through the air at speeds of more than 100 mph.
The group did not complete the formation and therefore did not set the record Thursday.
But the parachutists quickly returned to the air and completed a special jump to honor their friend — and planned to continue their pursuit of the record. They planned to keep a spot open in the formation to honor the victim.
"Our dear friend cannot and will not be replaced," said Gulcin, whose organization organized the record attempt. "The group will continue to hold the slot open in the skydiver's honor."
Skydivers cried and hugged each other and prayed after they learned of the death. But they also had no interest in quitting because of the tragedy.
"You can die crossing the street," said skydiver Debbie Franzese of New York. "It's sad, but also it happens. You know, it just happens."
Skydive Arizona in Eloy has been the site of other skydiving deaths in recent months.
Two skydivers — from Germany and the United Kingdom — died in November as their parachutes collapsed and they fell to their deaths during an attempt to set a jump record.
The Associated Press contributed to this story.

CLEARWATER — The embattled proposal for a zipline course at Sand Key Park is dead.
Developer Dev Pathik withdrew his plans for an "ecological tour" on Wednesday, effectively ending the $1 million project in the Pinellas County park before it could get off the ground.
"It just wasn't the right thing for us," Pathik said. "I think I'll leave it at that."
Pathik's Clearwater Canopy Tours would have installed platforms, ziplines and rope bridges in the treetops in a portion of the park, offering kid-friendly ecological lessons on Florida flora and wildlife. County leaders said the tour could "inject life, color and energy" into the beachfront park.
But the proposal faced brutal opposition from the Sand Key Civic Association, whose members slammed it as a ruinous "environmental catastrophe." The group retained a law firm earlier this month.
Association spokeswoman JoEllen Farnham called the withdrawal a "huge victory," saying members had devoted "a lot of hard work" to resisting the proposal.
"This is an example of people becoming engaged in the process," Farnham said. "This was a coming together of people who were genuinely interested in preserving the park."
Clearwater Regional Chamber of Commerce president Bob Clifford said the proposal was misrepresented by the civic association and marked a missed opportunity for tourism. "The impact, contrary to what the folks on Sand Key were saying, would have been extremely minimal," Clifford said. "I'm disappointed that they really didn't give Dev an opportunity to fully explain the nature of the proposal."
Pathik said he would consider "other opportunities" for the course, including sites outside of Sand Key.
"It appeared it was going to be an uphill battle," said Paul Cozzie, the county's director of Parks and Conservation Resources. "In a different location, it might have worked out for him."
The City Council, which doesn't control the county park, voted last week to voice its opposition to the project to county leaders. But Mayor Frank Hibbard, who called the withdrawal "not shocking," said the city could only take partial credit.
"I don't think he (Pathik) wanted to go through the rigmarole," Hibbard said. "The Sand Key folks were pretty energized. You add it all up, and there are probably easier projects for him to pursue."

Ye olde hangover cure: milk and salad oil
Binge drinkers today could possibly do well to heed some ancient advice on how to avoid a hangover – contained in a 17th century book that's about to go under the hammer.
One must 'drink first a good large draught of Sallet Oyl (salad oil), for that will float upon the Wine which you shall drink, and suppresse the spirits from ascending into the brain,' reveals the 17th century Gardeners' Almanac.
It goes on to advise that: 'Also what quantity soever of new milk you drinke first, you may well drink thrice as much wine after, without danger of being drunk.'
The advice is contained in a collection of ancient cookery books assembled by reclusive millionaire Stanley J Seeger.
The items are going under the hammer at Sotheby's in London next Thursday and are expected to fetch £250,000.

The 'unresolved' chieftaincy dispute over the Sempe Stool have sparked yet another controversial statement from the Kingmakers of the Stoolasking the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) Boss, Alfred Okoe Vanderpuye to stop meddling in the affairs of the Sempe stool on matters he has little knowledge about.
The Kingmakers of the Sempe stool have questioned the prowess of the AMA boss over his recent comments which he sort to discredit their years of existence and customary practices as true kingmakers.
According to the statement read on behalf of the Kingmakers,Nii Lartey Anum Tetteh, the Registrar at the Sempe palace said the AMA boss was reported to have described Sempe kingmakers in verbal terms as 'the so called Elders of Sempe.'
In a response, the Registrar asked, 'does the AMA boss know who the Elders of the Sempe Stool are? Or how they were inducted into office?'
'There is so much to do in the city of Accra and instead of directing his attention to those matters, he finds time to enter into the politics of stools,' thestatement posited.
The kingmakers stated that they are rational and fair-minded people ensuring that democratic values and arbitrary measures are upheld however, the AMA boss must clearly state his interest as where he stands in the Sempe Stool affairs.
Meanwhile, some elders led by their antagonist Nii Adote Obour II paid a courtesy call to the Mayor of Accra, Alfred Okoe Vanderpuye after a High Court ruling has recognized him (Nii Adote Obour II) as the Sempe Mantse.
According to the kingmakers, government particularly, the High Court has no jurisdiction over chieftaincy matters since the matter was before the judicial committee of the Ga Traditional Council.
The statement added that Nii Adote Obour II was 'customarily and validly destooled' by the kingmakers in 1994.
Another recent development affecting the Sempe Stool revolved around the lands at Akokofoto otherwise known as poultry farm at Dansoman, which have since time immemorial belonged to Sempe Stool, have recently been the subject of wide discussion in the media.
According to the Registrar, the lands at Akokofoto were parcels of lands title which were litigated extensively by the Alata, Akumajay and Sempe Stools between 1945 and 1990 at the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court, in its final pronouncement declared Akokofoto to be vested in the hands of the then Sempe mantse as the rightful owners of the land.
However, he said the minor sub stool of Gbawe which belongs to the Kpakpatse We quarter of the Asere division of the Ga Traditional Council succeeded in obtaining a questionable declaration from an Accra High Court that Akokofoto lands belongs to Gbawe.
According to Nii Tetteh, after the kingmakers had initially mounted an action and obtained an order of injunction against Gbawe however, Gbawe in return obtained an order of mandamus against AMA to demolish structures at Akokofoto claiming that the land belongs to them hence, the higgledy-piggledy.
The statement noted that it ishorrendous to believe how the law can allow one to invoke an order of mandamus over a land already placed on an injunction.
The Registrar also added that since Nii Adote Obour II was destooled, the process involved in removing his name from the Gazette has been very slow and bureaucratic.
Therefore, some individuals have created the negative impression that the land do not belong to Nii Adote Otintor II implying that they can seize and take over Sempe lands.
However, the Sempe Stool has instructed its solicitor to ensure that all lands and properties including human lives, wherever situated are strongly defended and protected by law.

Angelo Mathews is the man Sri Lanka turn to when they need a finisher in a chase. He talks about the pressure of the role, his Test form, and captaincy ambitions. Right now, I see myself as more of a batting allrounder. I'd like to improve my bowling a little bit more. But in the recent past...

Future captain!

Just a lot of hype. He is an average player. Dropped so many catches so cannot be classified as allrounder. His batting technique also unorthodox and not sure if he will survive in all conditions.

WASHINGTON — A white, unmarked Boeing 737 landed in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, before dawn on a CIA mission so secretive, many in the nation's war on terrorism were kept in the dark.
Four of the United States' most highly valued terrorist prisoners were aboard.
They arrived at Guantanamo from Morocco on Sept. 24, 2003, years earlier than the United States has ever disclosed. Then, months later, they were just as quietly whisked away before the Supreme Court could give them access to lawyers.
The transfer allowed the United States to interrogate the detainees in CIA "black sites" for two more years without allowing them to speak with attorneys or human rights observers or challenge their detention in U.S. courts. Had they remained at the Guantanamo Bay prison for just three more months, they would have been afforded those rights.
Removing them from Guantanamo underscores how worried President George W. Bush's administration was that the Supreme Court might lift the veil of secrecy on the detention program. It also shows how insistent the Bush administration was that terror suspects must be held outside the U.S. court system.
Years later, the program's legacy continues to complicate President Barack Obama's efforts to prosecute those charged in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
At least four admitted al-Qaida operatives, some of the CIA's biggest captures, were on the plane to Guantanamo: Abu Zubaydah, Abd al-Nashiri, Ramzi Binalshibh and Mustafa al-Hawsawi.
Binalshibh and al-Hawsawi helped plan the Sept. 11 attacks. Al-Nashiri was the mastermind of the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole. Zubaydah was an al-Qaida travel facilitator. They had spent months overseas enduring some of the harshest interrogation tactics in U.S. history.
Not long after they arrived, things began unraveling.
In November 2003, over the administration's objections, the Supreme Court agreed to consider whether Guantanamo detainees could sue in U.S. courts.
In March 2004, as the legal documents piled up at the Supreme Court, the court announced oral arguments would be held in April. After that, a ruling could come at any time, and everyone at the island prison — secretly or not — would be covered.
On March 27, just as the sun was setting on Guantanamo, a Gulfstream IV jet left Cuba. The plane landed in Rabat, Morocco, the next morning. By the time the Supreme Court ruled June 28 that detainees should have access to U.S. courts, the CIA had once again scattered Zubaydah, al-Nashiri and the others throughout the black sites.
Two years later, after the Washington Post revealed the existence of the program, Bush emptied the prison network. Fourteen men, including the four who had been at Guantanamo Bay years earlier, were moved there. They have been there ever since.

The stars of today will be on the pitch at the Juventus Stadium this evening, but it was the stars of tomorrow that enjoyed their moment in the sun this afternoon as the Piazza San Carlo in Turin staged a grassroots tournament.
Boys and girls aged eight to 16 and drawn from around the northern Italian city contested two knockout competitions on two temporary pitches at the 17th century square, one of Turin's biggest tourist hubs. The mounted statue of Count Emanuele Filiberto of Savoy surveyed the action, and was joined by proud parents and supporters of Sevilla FC and SL Benfica, tonight's UEFA Europa League finalists.
While Italian television anchorman Mino Taveri compered the event Luca Pancalli, head of the youth and school sector at the Italian Football Federation (FIGC), told UEFA.com how important it is to nurture the grassroots and safeguard football's well-being at all levels. "Any big football event supported by grassroots initiatives – especially when children are involved – can bring a lasting legacy as it allows us to show that football is not only played on the biggest stages," he said.
"Professional football is just the tip of the iceberg – the foundations are laid by the thousands upon thousands of kids who enjoy the game, play it and dream of becoming champions one day. Our mission is to help them fulfil their dream." Former swimmer Pancalli certainly achieved his, winning 14 medals (eight of them gold) at the Paralympic Games in 1984, 1988 and 1996.
The 50-year-old also underlined the importance of the growth of women's football in parallel to the male game. "We are working in collaboration with UEFA on this," he said. "We are trying to take advantage of all the resources at our disposal, like the mini-pitches UEFA gave us [as part of the HatTrick assistance programme], to take football everywhere, especially to the most difficult areas of big Italian cities and women's football. We had some difficulty in Italy in this respect, but we are making up for it."
Inclusivity is the watchword. This morning Turin's Ferrante Aporti juvenile detention centre hosted a mini-tournament linked with the grassroots activities, as the FIGC seeks to engage young detainees, using football as an educational tool. They played under the banner 'nessuno escluso!' (nobody excluded!), which could easily apply to the FIGC's approach as a whole.

Sunny Deol
Sunny Deol was born on 19 October 1969 in New Delhi in India.His original name was Ajay Singh Deol.He is Son of Dharmendra, Older brother of Bobby Deol, Esha Deol & Ahana Deol.His mother name is Prakash Kaur. Bobby Deol and Esha Deol are also in acting world.His father Dharmendra is a all time superstar of bollywood.Esha Deol & Ahana Deol are from Dharmendra's re-marriage to actress Hema Malini.Sunny Deol has spent lot of time in his father's village in his chihdhood.When He showed a great interest in acting,Dharmendra noticed his potential.Dharmendra sent him to England to study acting.There He joined theatre called the Old Web Theatre in Birmingham, England where he studied theatre and acting.So it was Sunny Deol who was a diamond but it Dharmendra who polished this diamond.Sunny Deol was god gifted child.Acting was in his blood.Sunny Deol born to Act.
Sunny started his career with the superhit, Betaabi, in 1983. The movie had memorable music and good performances by the lead couple Sunny and Amrita Singh. The audience loved Sunny as a romantic hero in this movie and he was also nominated for the filmfare best actor award for the movie. Unfortunately, post Betabi his career saw a dry spell and the film pundits were trying hard to close his chapter in the industry when he came back with a bang in his new incarnation. His new incarnation was that of an action hero in the movie Arjun in 1985. The action genre films then became his forte and he scored hits such as Ghayal, Tridev, Ghatak, Border, and India. Ghayal won him the Filmfarwe award for the best actor. However, the dare-devil Punjabi lad, famous for his punch, was not to stick to his genre and experimented with romantic roles as well.
As a director, Sunny Deol's maiden outing was highly appreciated, although unsuccessful at the box office. Sunny Deol made his directorial debut with Dillagi (1998) starring himself, younger brother Bobby Deol & Urmila Matondkar. Sunny Deol's next directorial venture is The Man(2010), which is an action packed film & it also stars Shilpa Shetty.
Sunny Deol is a person who never belived in controversy & rumours.He is a simple indian.So there are not so much rumours about him excepting his affair with Dimple Kapadia.Sunny Deol knocked out all rumours.
His sun sign is libra.His lucky numbers are 2 and 19.In the year 2010 he may start working on a `mega project'. His creative skills may be sharpened. Sunny's performance may also improve and he will be willing to do something extra ordinary. Financially, this is likely to be average time for him and he will have to play with investments very carefully. Second half of 2010 seems much important for Sunny Deol's career and personal life both.
His lucky colors are blue and green. He is practical and efficient, steadfast, helpful, strength of character, logical, quiet and reserved, hardworking.He is a very confident person and love to try out new things, specifically when it comes to mental pursuits.

'The pros outweigh the cons'

According to the Raleigh News and Observer:
Republicans successfully overrode Gov. Bev Perdue's veto of a fracking bill during a quick vote taken just after 11 p.m. Monday.
The override effort gained the 72 votes necessary only because a Democrat accidentally voted for it and was not allowed to change. Immediately when Rep. Becky Carney of Mecklenburg County said she'd like to change her vote, Republican Rep. Paul Stam of Wake County called for a procedural vote to prevent vote changes. Under normal circumstances vote changes are routine.
The procedural vote gained 71 votes, enough to lock in the first vote but also showing that the Republicans lacked enough votes for a veto had Carney not pressed the wrong button.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Even though he's becoming more cautious about stocks, as any value investor would, Dan Ferris, the editor of Extreme Value, hasn't stopped looking for "safe, cheap stocks that are priced right."In an interview with Ferris on Friday, Feb. 15, I asked him his secret for uncovering the "world-dominating dividend-grower" companies that are still fairly priced. "Ask a better set of questions," was his modest answer. He and his research team have been doing just that, and the results are impressive. That's why many well-known money managers follow his recommendations. He watches sentiment surveys and balance sheets, not what the masses are chasing. Ferris also wants to catch the massive shifts as they're happening and identify the most powerful corporate beneficiaries. There are many opportunities to benefit from what Ferris calls "The Pillars of Hyper-Innovation" that are happening now in the world of technology. As an example, Ferris pointed to the phenomenon of "Moore's Law," which had correctly predicted that the number of transistors on a computer chip would double every two years. "During that time, the computer industry jammed more transistors onto computer chips every two years, just like Moore said they would, using thinner materials packed closer together. The first chips had a few thousand transistors on them. By 2007, they contained more than 600 million," he explained. Then came 2007 and researchers hit the physical limits of silicon dioxide, a key material in chip-building. Manufacturers literally had no way to shrink the material a single nanometer more. That's when the "world dominator" of semi-conductor manufacturing stepped to the plate and showed the world what hyper-innovation was all about. Intel ( INTC) realized that a global tipping point had arrived, and in 2008, introduced its Core i7 processor chip with 731 million transistors. These new chips had 2.5 times more transistors than the 291 million transistors in its earlier Core 2 Duo chips, which were introduced in 2006. "It took the leadership of Intel to see the challenge and to meet it head on," Ferris explains. "Intel had the deep financial resources and has been dictating the pace of innovation for decades. Today it employs the biggest concentration of chip-engineering talent in the world."

Chicago Defender
March 10, 1928
Raleigh, N.C., March 9. – With evidence piling up day by day that corroborated the confession of Willie HARDISON that he alone was responsible for the death of Cyrus JONES, who was killed in 1922, Governor MCLEAN granted pardons to three convicts who were serving life sentences for the murder of JONES.
The three men, George WILLIAMS, and Frank & Fred DOVE, Onslow county, were convicted of first degree murder in October, 1922, and sentenced to die, but commutations from Governor MCLEAN gave them life imprisonment instead.
HARDISON, who was tried separately and convicted, took full responsibility for the crime in a confessions to authorities before his electrocution in April, 1923. The three men knew nothing about the slaying, he declared. An investigation was started and with other evidence in their possession of the innocence of the men, the judged and jurors recommended pardons for the three convicts.

Several > nights a week I run a vacuumdb -f -z on all of the clusters. I can take > serveral hours to complete, but it does complete. Well, here's your first problem: since your FSM pages is low, and you're only vacuuming once a day, you've got to have some serious table and index bloat. SO you're going to need to do VACUUM FULL on all of your databases, and then REINDEX on all of your indexes. After that, raise your max_fsm_pages to something useful, like 1,000,000. Of course, data on your real rate of updates would help more. If you're getting severe disk choke when you vacuum, you probably are I/O bound. You may want to try something which allows you to vacuum one table at a time, either pg_autovacuum or a custom script. -- Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco

Many families are leaving private education for public education. With the economy in a downward spiral, families are finding it difficult to make ends meet. To help offset the burden of the ever rising expense of a private education, I have devised a plan that I believe will help those families and not upset parents of public education school children.
There are two main options to pick from; tax credits or vouchers.
My plan involves tax credits.
To receive the tax credit for private education, the child must perform well. The higher the child scores on their report card, the larger the tax credit. The tax credits can be taken from the taxes that family is already paying into the system. So in essence, the child would be rewarded through money that the family is already paying.
The tax credit would start at $1,000 for the highest score on the report card, A (90), $750 for a B(80), and $500 for a C(70). Below a grade of C, the family would not be rewarded with a tax credit. This would not offset the burden of the entire tuition, but it would certainly help.
I have a child in a catholic school and I pay tuition. It is my choice to have my children learn our religion and gain an education. The tax credit would certainly help, but is not going to offset my tuition.

I had tried to make my own candles before with no luck on my own. This kit by the way made it so simple. I love the cold and hot throw. Having directions helped. The kit was awesome. I made four of each of three different fragrances. One that I bought extra which was the muskadine grape, and I mixed the red and blue colors to make purple colored candles to go with the scent. I did use 1&1/2 ounces of that per one pound of wax to test the scent throw as comparrison to one ounce per pound. I did the vanilla silk w/out color and did the strawberry passion w/ red. They turned out awesome. Buy this kit you can't go wrong. Thank you Natures Garden.

I purchased this kit to begin a new product line in my home business. I am definitely impressed! I ended up making 6 red candles (Strawberry Passion scent) and 6 white candles (Vanilla Silk scent) and they both smell amazing! The only issue I had was with the wicks, as I was not wanting to hot-glue them to the jar; I used clothespins to hold the wicks steady as the wax hardened, and it worked well. Amazing product, amazing price!

I have been making candles for 3 years but I purchased this kit to try joy wax. The kit comes with complete and easy to follow instructions. The first round of candles I made i filled the jars too high which I believe may have caused holes in the surface of the wax. The second round came out much better as I did not fill them as much, they look great and hot & cold throw is great! Getting ready to purchase more Joy Wax!!

I'm really enjoying this kit! I'm a beginner at candle making, so it made it so much easier for me to jump in and start learning the process with everything picked out and in front of me. The main reason I bought this was to help me learn, so I was rather disappointed that I didn't receive any directions with my kit. Not that it was a huge deal since there are so many tutorials online, but it was a main reason I had purchased this instead of individual parts.
Did you find this review useful?

I too have been intimidated when it came to candle making for the first time, but after much research I found this kit and the price seemed much more reasonable than anywhere else. I have since made some very fragrant and beautiful candles that impress friends and family.
I love that this kit has EVERYTHING you need and it was so easy to do. The end result was professional looking even on the first try. Thanks.

Candle making can be challenging with all of the wax types and wick sizes. This is before you even get to all of the fragrences. It's enough to make your head hurt. Here to save the day is the joy wax kit. I love the fact that you don't have to sweat the details - it's a great way to jump in and get your feet wet. I like soy wax vs. parrafin wax and I'm going to do more experimenting with candle making.

CoinPayments, the payment processor, plans to create their own tokens to attract more investors for creating the first wallet for all cryptocurrencies in the world. Chief Marketing Officer of CoinPayments, Ward Stirrat, told CoinTelegraph that the token will probably be released in the second quarter of 2016.
He didn't reveal the name of their future token, saying they "haven't settled on that yet because there are other issues they need to solve first". Nevertheless, they are looking forward to the new token as they realize tokens and coins are developing rapidly in the Bitcoin industry. Ward Stirrat told CoinTelegraph:
"We understand that everybody in the space is likely to turn to tokens and coins to raise funds in the future. We want to service that market and allow for not just speculative holding but actual commercial activity. I think it's a great way of circulating the ideas as well as currencies, because a currency becomes a message about the idea then. And I think that's a great thing".
However, these two instruments are rather different. They tend to attract different kinds of investors. Simon Dixon, CEO BnkToTheFuture.com and Fund Manager Bitcoin Capital says that "coin sales attract lots of smaller investors and equity sales attract a smaller number of high net worth investors". He added to CoinTelegraph:
"Typically you would raise more on our platform through equity than through coin sale, but they are very different asset classes. Coins are more liquid, but they envisage higher risk. Equity has additional legal protections but is less liquid.
Combining the two would be an interesting strategy for the right company".
Indeed, there are some successful companies that fortify Simon's words. Storj launched a Crowdsale to develop their Blockchain cloud storage and then raised equity finance from online investors on BnkToTheFuture.com. Factom sold tokens to develop their non-profit open source platform and raised equity finance for their Blockchain security service.

Nancy Pelosi, Dolores Huerta, Muriel Siebert, and Karen Nussbaum join MAKERS
Four new groundbreaking women joined our MAKERS community—two of whom achieved firsts in their fields and two of whom founded trailblazing organizations.
Nancy Pelosi broke the marble ceiling when she chose to pursue politics, making her the first female Speaker of the House of Representatives in American history. Born into an influential political family, Pelosi worked her way up in the political ranks, bringing with her a fresh point of view and strong ethics. Currently, Pelosi still presides as House Minority leader and recently made an appearance at the 2012 Democratic National Convention. In her MAKERS interview, she describes the impact her household growing up had on her professional track and how despite all her accomplishments, nothing compares to the joy of being a mom.
Dolores Huerta joins our community as co-founder, along with Cesar Chavez, of the United Farm Worker, the first successful farm workers union in the country. As a union leader and activist, Huerta led strikes and risked her life for the cause. Her passionionate fight for the rights of farm workers and women later earned her the Presidential Medal of Freedom. In her MAKERS interview, Huerta talks about who compelled her to be a leader and her strong belief that everyone should experience going to jail.
Though the next two MAKERS of the group both failed to obtain a college degree, Muriel Siebert and Karen Nussbaum did not let this stop them from making change.
Muriel Siebert joins Pelosi in the world of firsts as the first women to own a seat on the New York Stock Exchange. Growing up in Cleveland Ohio, Siebert was enrolled at case Western Reserve University, but was forced to drop out when her father was diagnosed with cancer. Unable to continue to pay for her education, Siebert headed to New York City with only $500 in her pocket to pursue her dream of working on Wall Street. Refusing to let the glass ceiling stop her from her dreams, Siebert went on to work for a handful of Wall Street firms and today she remains the only known female head of a national brokerage, Siebert & Co. In her interview, she talks about the meeting that made her career and the whole story behind her seat on the NYSE.
Like Siebert, Karen Nussbaum did not let dropping out of college stop her from making a difference. Born and raised in Chicago, Nussbaum eventually moved to Boston where she devoted herself to the anti-Vietnam movement. To support herself, she worked as a clerical worker and was exposed to the inequalities faced by women in the workforce. Determined to fight back, Nussbaum and colleagues formed 9to5, an organization that sought to address these issues and decided to forge a union for female office workers. Nussbaum later joined the Clinton Administration and today heads Working America, the community affairs affiliate of the AFL-CIO. In her interview she talks about how the media icons, such as Dolly Parton and Jane Fonda, helped spread the 9to5 message and her opinion on unions today.

Probably not a PostgreSQL question - I'd imagine you'll get a better answer on a PHP list... I don't know squat about PHP on IIS, but in the web system we wrote, we store the current user in the $_SESSION variable: $_SESSION["USERID"] This gets set when they log in - perhaps IIS will set a similar variable when it authenticates the user? -----Original Message----- From: pgsql-novice-owner(at)postgresql(dot)org [mailto:pgsql-novice-owner(at)postgresql(dot)org] On Behalf Of Greg Cocks Sent: Wednesday, 20 February 2008 13:30 To: PostgreSQL List - Novice Subject: [NOVICE] Wondering how to get the name of the name of the user logged on to 'my' https:// site via PHP Hello, I am a (relatively) newbie to PHP - and am wondering how to get the name of the user logged on to 'my' https:// site via PHP. IT set up the site via SSL and using active directory's users (i.e., IIS and Windoze.) for the logon. Every staff member can logon with their own Windoze network credentials, which is pretty slick as I let the network admin take care of permissions, passwords, etc through Windows Server. Web users with limited permissions have and can be added by IT as well, with my input on permission levels. Anyway. the user has the ability to write some stuff back to a PostgreSQL database and I would like to keep track of who is logged on that session so I can append their username into the "change log" of the database - *but how do I get the username?*" (Note that I could potentially see myself integrating (sic) Windows User Permissions for each user to differentiate their 'allowable' web page functionality - but that is in the medium to far future I think.) I have been exploring LDAP - but it seems like a hammer-and-walnut approach, at least to my untrained eye. Any suggestions gratefully received!

To the Valley News:
So mortgage defaults are on the rise. The Federal Reserve is going to purchase $40 billion in mortgage dept. per month, $480 billion per year from the big banks. They will be printing new money to pay for this (out of thin air!). Sounds like a yet another (stealth) bank bail out to me. Snookered again!
Tell your Senators you support a full audit of the Federal Reserve.

Well I let the Chanel counter manager talk me into switching from Chanel Teint Naturel foundation to this one. BIG MISTAKE.!!! I am 47 & she said that my skin didn't look dewy or fresh. Well it wasn't because of my foundation. I switched about 6 months ago to Clarins line of moisturizers - again a BIG MISTAKE!!! Vitalumiere left my skin like an oil slick & I do have dry skin. Further it settled in my pores of which I have very few. I am a firm believer that the freshness & dewyness of your skin is a direct result of how you cleanse your skin & your moisturizering line. I am now back with my beloved Chanel line of moisturizers & will go back to my Teint Naturel foundation. That combo will once again give me my fresh & dewy look that people always noticed. Vitalumiere is not for me!!

The 2012-2013 Lady Hornet bowling team will look to build on a season a year ago that saw them end with an overall record of 11-11 and 5-8 in the Portage Trail Conference, earning them a third place finish. Head Coach Craig Linerode enters his fourth season under the helm and will look to his two returning letter winners for success in 2012-2013, junior Sadie Knepper and sophomore Marisa Whaley.
Knepper is coming off a great season where she averaged 125 during the matches. She was named Honorable Mention All-PTC, Most Improved Hornet Award, as well as, the Varsity Rising Star Award. Whaley, on the other hand, split time between the JV and varsity squads. In her JV competition, she averaged a 111 and during varsity, she averaged a 105. She earned the JV Rising Star Award a year ago.
"Knepper represents our sole strength to begin this season. As a sophomore, she started nearly every match and gained a lot of confidence, as well as, experience. She will be called upon this year to be the anchor in baker games, as well as, be the leader of this team. I am confident that she is ready to take on these new responsibilities," said Linerode on his junior.
Those looking to make a quick impact on the varsity squad are senior Emily Stinchcomb and freshman Renee Greathouse, Kyla Passwaters and Emily Wyer.
"The team will improve with some more intensive practices working on basic skills. With time and hard work, the dividends will pay off down the road in a few years as the younger players gain their experience," said Linerode on his squad.
When asked about the future of his program Linerode stated that, "The five starters for this season have been determined, but the majority of those have no match experience. As a result of our inexperience, the first part of the season will be very difficult as the girls learn to adapt to the oil conditions of lanes, as well as, how the lanes change with each frame of the match. However, the JV team will be completely made up with freshman so the upside is that the Hornets are developing a deep team for the near future."
The Hornets opened up their campaign on Nov. 20 when they took on Jackson High School at Colonial Lanes. The girls dropped the contest to the Polar Bears by the final count of 2512-1635.
Leading the way for the yellow and blue was Greathouse with a 139 in game one and 156 in game two for a solid series of 295. Rounding out the scoring for the Hornets was Stinchcomb (119-114 for 233), Passwaters (88-124 for 212), Whaley (89-122 for 211) and Knepper (114-85 for 196).
The Polar Bears also dominated the Baker Games by the scores of 165-116, 157-108, 177-137 and 171-124.
In Junior Varsity action, The Jackson squad also downed the Hornets leaving both the varsity and JV squads with an overall record of 0-1.
The East Canton girls bowling team suffered a defeat on Tuesday, losing to a very talented Kent Roosevelt team, but defeated Akron North on Wednesday.
The team was led by the team captains. Coach Linerode said Sadie Knepper had a tremendous second game score of 189 for the high game of the night. Emily Stinchcomb demonstrated consistency in bowling the high series for the team with a 291.
The Hornets were able to get into the win column on Wednesday night against Akron North. Freshman Renee Greathouse bounced back from a slow first game of 85 to bowl a second game 164 to lead the team. Freshman Kyla Passwaters bowled two good games to lead the team with a high series of 263.

"With the possible exception of Ruth Ginsburg"
In an interview with Adam Liptak, Justice Stevens stated that
every one of the dozen justices appointed to the court since 1971, including himself, was more conservative than his or her predecessor. "We'll wait and see to see if the most recent change fits that," he said of Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who joined the court last year. "But prior to Sonia's joining the court that was true with the possible exception of Ruth Ginsburg."
This seems largely correct in diagnosing the trend: Breyer is more conservative than Blackmun, Scalia more conservative than Berger, and so on. But I would think that Justice Ginsburg merits more than simply the "possible exception" label. She replaced Justice Byron White, whose record is substantially more conservative than hers (among other things, Justice White authored the majority opinion in Bowers v. Hardwick, and he dissented in both Roe v. Wade and Miranda). "Possible exception," indeed.

Suppose to get to the 20's over night. Will see if they can keep up with the demand by morning.
I think you will be OK
I wish I could get ahold of some Vermonts. Or Okies, or Turmans, or.......
Gonna run my furnace with my worst pellet (Green Labels) Keepin it toasty warm and still at a bag a day.
I started burning my Vermonts on Sat and actually had to turn back the room temp on my Harman. IMO you will like them.
26 here now n. mass, le us know how they do.
Tossed a bag of McFeeters in the hopper tonight. Great heat from these bad boys, but I can see the ash building up real quick-like. Think I"ll move on to the Vermonts soon and use the McFeeter's as we head back out into shoulder season.
You'll like 'em, My Favorite pellet.
Still chuggin along with the GT's for now. Not cold enough for the good stuff yet. Cubies on deck with Hamers in reserve. Gonna need some more shoulders if it stays warm. Hate burning the good stuff if I don't really need to. Yep, I'm cheap!
OMV, what did you think of the Vermont's. I have a ton that I haven't tried yet. I have been burning up some Energex American. Middle of the road pellet.
No question they gave good heat BUT i cant fairly judge right now my son topped off the stove last night with a different pellet. With that said it didnt keep up as much as i would of liked woke up to 70 which is fine but should of been more like 75. Was 30 outside Will make sure to load the stove myself tonight and try it again suppose to be a mirror temp again tonight. Sure wish that didnt happen i would of ran the Somersets tonight for a perfect comparison of outside temps
Well they didnt do as well as i expected. Woke up to a chilly 69 but i guess it went down to 15 last night and is 24 outside this morning. Threw in a bag of somersets and changed to sunflower setting got it back up to 72 and rising. Cold week ahead guess the pellet eating sunflower mode is where its gonna stay this week .
Not to take anything away from the Vermonts they are hot im sure if i changed to sunflower with them i would of had the same results. Vermonts will run tonight on sunflower see what morning brings
The Vermonts I bought off Craigslist are....CRAP. Fine for a shoulder pellet but not a "true winter" pellet. On the 3 setting on my OE Mt Vernon I can't get the temp above 70. Going to the quad setting made no difference in temp. Will start mixing the vermonts with timber heat to use them up.

Workers for the Ross Valley Sanitary District on Thursday continued to mop up from two raw sewage spills and repair a critical section of failed pipe before another storm that could trigger more problems.
A district pipe failed Wednesday morning north of 1000 S. Eliseo Drive and Bon Air Road in Larkspur, releasing an as yet unspecified volume of sewage. When the district notified the news media of that spill Wednesday afternoon, it also disclosed that a much larger spill -- an estimated 842,000 gallons of sewage -- had flooded out of several manholes Friday evening on Stadium Way and elsewhere near Kent Middle School in Kentfield. Most of that sewage flowed into Corte Madera Creek and the San Francisco Bay via storm drains.
Asked about the crippled system's ability to function under pressure, Brett Richards, general manager of the Ross Valley Sanitary District, said, "We can sustain light to moderate rain without too much problem. If we have a full-blown thunderstorm, we may have an issue."
Richards said the contractor replacing the Larkspur pipe estimates the work will be finished sometime Friday evening. The failed pipe is one of the district's major arteries carrying 60 percent of its overall load, under pressure.
Richards suspects that Friday's spill was caused by debris that blocked the line. He said large pieces of road asphalt, rubber from the Kent Middle School running track, chunks of clay dirt, wire and two hard-hats were dislodged from the pipe. The blockage occurred near where JMB Construction, a South San Francisco firm, had recently installed new pipe for the district. JMB Construction did not return calls seeking comment.
Richards said the debris could only have entered the sewage line if a construction worker left it there or someone removed a manhole cover and inserted it. He has talked to the FBI about the possibility of launching an investigation.
Richards doubts that the failure of the pipe Wednesday was related to the earlier blockage on Friday. The section of pipe that failed Wednesday is made of Techite -- a composite of fiberglass, polyester resin and sand -- that was once used widely but has been phased out due to repeated failures.
Deborah McLeran of Kentfield said when she walked her dog past Kent Middle School on Saturday morning the school's new running track was inundated and much of the athletic field was also flooded.
"It was brown, and it smelled of raw sewage," McLeran said. She worries whether the school will be safe for students when they return on Jan. 3. Kentfield School District officials could not be reached for comment.
Richards said that because of the school's proximity to Corte Madera Creek, "we can't use typical disinfectant. With the types of rain we're having most of the issue is already gone. We're removing the dirt and the mud and vacuuming the grass and using just regular water to wash it down."
In a press release Wednesday, the district stated that it had immediately notified the Marin County Office of Emergency Services, the county's Environmental Health Services Division and the San Francisco Bay Area Regional Water Quality Control Board of Friday's spill. But representatives of all three dispute this.
Bill Johnson, a senior environmental scientist with the Regional Water Quality Control Board, said the district waited until 5 p.m. Monday to notify the board of Friday evening's spill. Johnson said the district is required to notify the state agency within two hours of a spill and to update that report within 24 hours.
Rebecca Ng, chief of Marin County's Environmental Health Services Division, said the district faxed a report to the county after 5 p.m. Monday, so it wasn't discovered until Tuesday. Ng said the report was poorly written, giving her staff the false impression that only 1,000 gallons of sewage had spilled.
Ng said she didn't learn about the magnitude of the Friday spill until she was contacted by the Independent Journal on Wednesday afternoon, even though she had discussed the Friday spill with a district employee who called to report the second event Wednesday morning.
Janell Myhre, an emergency services coordinator with Marin County's Office of Emergency Services, said no one notified her office.
One government agency said the district did contact it soon after the Friday evening spill was discovered. Trevor Anderson, a hazardous materials specialist with the California Emergency Management Agency, said that at about 11:35 p.m. Friday the district reported a 1,000-gallon spill. The district told the agency the spill had been contained after flowing into a residential backyard and that it was "handling clean up."
"Once they make notification to us, that is all they have to do," Anderson said. "If it goes from 1,000 gallons to 800,000 gallons there is no requirement in law for a follow-up to our agency. We've tried to get that into law many times over the years. The most recent incident where this came up was the Cosco Busan event."
Richards said the sanitary district posted public warning signs around the site of the Kentfield spill shortly after it occurred.
