HOMESTEAD, FL - SEPTEMBER 21: (L-R) Beth Frazier, Carol Echeverria and Angie Solomon along with other volunteers sort food into individual bags to be given out at Farm Share, a non-profit business, that helps families in need on September 21, 2009 in Homestead, Florida. Facing sharp budget cuts due to economic conditions the county of Miami-Dade may have to cut the budget of Farm Share, which in turn will affect some of the 6,000 people they are helping. One year ago Farm Share was helping 3,000 individuals and families. Cities and counties across the nation are facing the same dilemma as tax rates drop and municipalities look for programs to cut to make up budget deficits. (Photo by Joe Raedle/Getty Images

Only 35.5GW of new wind farms were installed in 2013, nearly 10GW less than the year before.
The fall in installations was largely down to the "precipitous drop" in new projects in the US due to the expected halting of the production tax credit subsidy regime at the end of 2012, the industry body said.
GWEC characterised 2013 as a "difficult year for the industry" with only 12.5% cumulative growth, but said that it expected 2014 to be "much brighter".
Global cumulative capacity hit 318GW, an increase of nearly 200GW over the last five years.
GWEC secretary general Steve Sawyer welcomed strong installation figures from China that showed the country adding 16.1GW, almost half of the global new capacity.
"China is a growth market again, which is good news for the industry. The government's commitment to wind power has been reinforced once again by raising the official target for 2020 to 200GW, and the industry has responded," commented Sawyer.
Brazil led the charge in Latin America, increasing its capacity by more than a third, with the installation of 948MW of projects.
Canada outstripped the US, adding 1.6GW in 2013, compared with 1.1GW in the US. Although projects under construction hit an all-time high in the US, with work having started on 12GW of developments.
Europe as a whole installed 12GW, 8% less than in 2012, with a large proportion focused in Germany and the UK.

History of Community Supported Agriculture, Part I
Community Farms in the 21st Century:
Poised for Another Wave of Growth?
This is the first
in a two-part series exploring the birth of the CSA movement
in the United States as well as the potentials for this growing
and successful model of community agriculture.
By Steven McFadden
CSA is providing direct support for hundreds of small farms
and clean local food for thousands of families. As side benefits,
CSA is also establishing a matrix of environmental oases,
building networks of families who are cultivating new and
healthy aspects of community life, and helping to shape a
new vision of agriculture.
As CSA approaches its 20th anniversary, the possibility of
a substantial third wave of development looms large. The workable
paths are well known by now; meanwhile, a host of food- and
farm-related issues is steadily building a groundswell underneath
this grass-roots movement.
Oddly, the origins of CSA in the United States have remained
indistinct and are routinely reported incorrectly.
PART I: The Origins of CSA in America—Dispelling
an "Agrarian Myth
For years, one standard albeit erroneous telling of CSA's
history has been echoed in hundreds of articles and web sites.
That version was recently repeated by Time magazine: "The
CSA movement began in Japan some 30 years ago with a group
of women alarmed by
pesticides...Their teikei [partnerships with local farmers
through annual subscriptions] spread to Europe and the U.S.
From a single Massachusetts CSA in 1986, subscription farms
in the U.S. have boomed..."(1)
I can fault no reporters for repeating this false history.
While I did know all along that CSA sprang forth from not
one U.S. farm, but from two, for most of the past 18 years
I also labored under the misimpression that some of CSA's
inspiration had come from Japan, for that is what I read everywhere.
But that's not how it happened.
An email discussion on the CSA-L list (http://www.prairienet.org/pcsa/CSA-L/index.html)
piqued my curiosity. Correspondents such as Wolfgang Stranz
of Germany, Allan Balliett of West Virginia, and Connie Falk
of New Mexico uncovered many of the details of how CSA unfolded
here in the United States. I've been reporting on CSA
since 1987, so when I read their postings, I was prompted
to research the movement's beginnings to unearth a clearer
sense of what really happened and why. I also wanted to see
how the beginnings might bear upon the present and the future.
I learned that while community farm initiatives got under
way in both Japan and Chile in the early 1970s, those efforts
did not directly influence the 1986 start of the CSA movement
in the states. The U.S. impulse came from Europe, and specifically
from the biodynamic agricultural tradition.
The ideas that informed the first two American CSAs were
articulated in the 1920s by Austrian philosopher Rudolf Steiner
(1861-1925), and then actively cultivated in post- WW II Europe
in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. The ideas crossed the Atlantic
and came to life in a new form, CSA, simultaneously but independently
in 1986 at both Indian Line Farm in Massachusetts and Temple-Wilton
Community Farm in New Hampshire.
The two original CSA farms are still thriving as of 2004.
Both have established enduring legacies, even though they
have confronted many challenges over the years.
The stories of these two farms illustrate many of the challenges
the entire CSA movement faces. Their stories also demonstrate
many of the potentials.
Indian Line Farm
Susan Witt was there at the beginning. She is director of
the E.F. Schumacher Society, headquartered about a mile down
the road from Indian Line Farm in South Egremont, Mass.
Susan recalls that articles in Rodale's Organic Gardening
magazine (2) attracted a young gardener named Jan Vander Tuin
to South Egremont in 1985, where he met with her, Robyn Van
En and other members of the community.
These experiences shaped Vander Tuin's thinking as
he returned to the United States and began talking with Witt,
Van En, John Root, Jr., Andrew Lorand, and others. Each individual
was generally knowledgeable about anthroposophy and biodynamic
farming (two pillars of Steiner's legacy).
Witt recalls that their discussions were informed by Steiner's
concept of world economy, and she felt the work of the Schumacher
Society best put those ideas into practice. "One of Steiner's
major concepts was the producer-consumer association, where
consumer and producer are linked by their mutual interests,"
she explained. "And one of Schumaker's major concepts
was 'to develop an economy where you produce locally
what is consumed locally.' We began to see CSA as a
way to bring these key ideas together."
In those early days there was much talk of biodynamics and
anthroposophy and the "Small is beautiful" philosophy
of E.F. Schumacher, as Witt recalls, but definitely no talk
of Japan. "None of us had heard yet of what was happening
in Japan."
On this point, Anthony Graham and Trauger Groh of the Temple-Wilton
Community farm agree. None of the CSA pioneers in the United
States had heard a word about teikei in Japan.
As Anthony recalls, "We (Anthony, Trauger, Lincoln Geiger)
all went to a conference in Kimberton, Pennsylvania, as well
as a group from South Egremont including I believe Robyn Van
En. This was after both of our farms had started, maybe a
year later. A speaker at the conference mentioned what was
going on in Japan, and that was the first any of us learned
about it."
In autumn 1985, with Vander Tuin's enthusiasm added
to the wherewithal of the rest of the community, the Massachusetts
group undertook a project with an apple orchard. Root and
a community of developmentally disabled people from nearby
Berkshire Village sold 30 shares in the orchard, then picked,
sorted, and distributed 360 bushels of apples, as well as
cider, hard cider, and vinegar.
While that project was under way, the core group made plans.
They began as the CSA Garden at Great Barrington (not Indian
Line Farm) an unincorporated association managed on behalf
of all shareholders, with Witt, Root, Van En and Jan Vander
Tuin acting as principals. The association entered into a
three-year lease with Van En to use land at Indian Line Farm
for a garden starting in 1986, the same year the Temple-Wilton
Community Farm started about 80 miles to the northeast in
New Hampshire.
The association that leased Indian Line Farm held onto the
name CSA Gardens at Great Barrington until 1990, when there
was a difficult split. Robyn stayed on her land; the farmers
and many members departed to form the Mahaiwe Harvest CSA
at nearby Sunways Farm.
Robyn went on to write the pamphlet "Basic Formula to
Create Community Supported Agriculture," to produce a
video "It's not just About Vegetables," and
in 1992 to found CSA North America (CSANA), a nonprofit clearinghouse
to support CSA development.
In 1997 at age 49, Robyn died of an asthma attack. Her contributions
were later recognized in the naming of a national clearinghouse
of information, the Robyn Van En Center for CSA Resources.
After Van En's death, her son was forced to sell the
farm. The farmers who had been working the land could not
afford to buy it. But with the help of the Schumacher Society,
they partnered with a community land trust and The Nature
Conservancy to buy Indian Line Farm in 1999. This partnership
serves as a model for other CSAs.
According to Susan Witt, the key idea of the Indian Line
Farm transaction is this: The consumers actively took responsibility
to hold farmland open and to make that land available and
affordable for farmers over a long term. Other CSAs, she said,
should give serious consideration to this basic idea.
The Temple-Wilton Community Farm
Anthony Graham was among the founders of the Temple-Wilton
(TW) Community Farm, along with Trauger Groh and dairyman
Lincoln Geiger. Anthony remembers that they were all talking
with one another back in 1985. "Trauger had just moved
to New Hampshire from Germany. He and I and Lincoln and others
in this community were talking intensively, making plans.
One day in the autumn we drove out to South Egremont to meet
with the people there and share ideas. There was a lot of
"The folks in Western Massachusetts had their approach
and we had ours," Anthony recalled. "A lot of our
inspiration for the Temple-Wilton farm came out of discussing
with Trauger what he knew from Germany, and from the Camphill
Village in Copake, New York, in 1961."
Through the 1970s and early 1980s, Trauger, Carl-August Loss,
and other farmers at Buschberghof in Northern Germany had
been experimenting with ideas from the work of Rudolf Steiner.
Then Trauger met Alice Bennett of New Hampshire. They were
wed and he moved to be with her.
"Back in 1985, out of our discussions with Trauger,
we decided on our approach," remembers Anthony. "We
asked members of the farm community for a pledge rather than
asking them to pay a fixed price for a share of the harvest.
We realized that the members of our community had a wide range
of needs and incomes and that one set price was not necessarily
fair for every family. What we do each year is to present
a budget showing the true costs of the farm over the coming
year and then ask the members of the farm to make pledges
to meet the budget.
"Our approach works. It requires honesty and good will,
but it works," Anthony says. The last four or five years,
our annual budget meeting with the farm members has only taken
about 45 minutes. It's fast, up front, and everyone
understands it by now."
The overall philosophy of the TW Farm evolved from some of
Steiner's ideas spelled out in his anthroposophical writings.
Some of the farm's key ideas are:
New forms of property ownership—The
land is held in a common by a community through a legal trust.
The trust then leases its property long-term to farmers who
use the land to grow food for the community.
New forms of cooperation—A network
of human relations replaces old systems of employers and employees
as well as replacing the practice of pledging material security
(land, buildings, etc.) to banks.
New forms of economy – (associative
economy). The guiding question is not "how do we increase
profits?" but rather "what are the actual needs
of the land and of the people involved in this enterprise?"
Trauger Groh is retired from active farming but stays close
to the TW Farm. As he looks back over the years, he said he
feels satisfaction. The farm has found a permanent home on
good land and has also secured an orchard. In 2003, he said,
the farm had a record harvest, and it received funding support
from state, federal and local sources.
"The farm will easily raise the rest of the money,"
Trauger said. "There is enormous public interest. Wilton
has voted at town meeting two years in a row to spend $40,000
of taxpayer money to support the farm and its programs. Now
remember, this is in skinflint New Hampshire, where a request
for money for a new light bulb can cause a knockdown, drag-out
debate. Not one person has ever stood to speak against the
funding request for the farm.
"Now is when all our work is paying off," Trauger
observed. "We have a track record of 18 years. People
know us and trust us. They can see what we are doing for the
land and for the community."
Reflecting on the start of CSA in America 18 years ago, Trauger
said "As with all great ideas, the idea of CSA had arrived.
It just needed to emerge. The time was ripe. Who started at
what hour is totally unimportant. What is important is that
the CSA initiative has emerged and developed, and there is
now a base for people to carry forward."

If you've ever built your own PC, you know there's an art to applying the thermal grease that helps to cool the system's processor. That technique could one day be a thing of the past thanks to a new thermal conducting sheet developed by Sony. It's far easier to apply than thermal grease, and it's more effective at keeping the processor from overheating.
Made from silicon densely packed with carbon fiber, the EX20000C sheet, as it's known, has a thermal resistance rating of 0.4-0.2K·cm2/W. Translated to English, that means it's far better than traditional methods and materials when it comes to transferring heat from a processor to a heatsink. In fact, as Sony demostrated the sheets at the Tokyo Techno-Frontier exhibition, it kept a microprocessor about 3°C cooler than one using the go-to goop. [Tech-On!]

VisionFund Mexico is a leading microfinance institution established as a subsidiary of VisionFund
International, a global microfinance institution operating in Africa, Asia,
Latin America and the Middle East/Eastern Europe. VisionFund International is a
wholly owned subsidiary of World Vision International, a Christian relief
development and advocacy organization. Working together, we provide the
foundations for local economies to flourish in healthy and safe communities.
We provide financial services to people
who would otherwise have little or no access to credit. The well-being of
children, families and communities in Mexico
is our main focus. We serve the country's poorest people by
helping them start or grow their own businesses through loans of just a few
hundred dollars.
VisionFund Mexico has been supporting clients 15 years.
Since then, we have grown to serve 23,700 active borrowers and impact 64,700 children and 36,300 jobs.
World Vision originally began its microfinance and
savings programme in 1993, but quickly realised the global need for
microfinance and the immense role it played in reducing poverty. VisionFund International
was then founded in 2003 to manage its network of affiliated microfinance
organisations (MFIs).
Since then, VisionFund International has been lending
money to people in need of financial services, helping them to start or grow
sustainable businesses. Our clients use the income earned to build a better
future for their children, for example, through having clean water, nutritious
food, education and healthcare.
There are still many families in Mexico that
survive on very little and lack the finances
needed for medical care, education or
nutritious food.
Women in Mexico are usually the ones
responsible for supporting their families.
However, many poor women have little or
no education and do not have land or
productive assets. This leaves them
particularly vulnerable in economic
downturns or family emergencies.
We work in areas where poverty and the
rate of illiteracy are much higher than the
national average. Our products and services
have been created to help poor people in
Mexico escape their economic problems so
they can adequately provide for the families.

Texas' highest criminal court has upheld a murder conviction for a former Houston area high school coach who was convicted for the 1999 shooting death of his pregnant wife.
The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals on Wednesday ruled there was sufficient evidence to support David Temple's conviction.
Temple was sentenced to life in prison for the murder. Prosecutors accused him of staging the crime to look like a burglary and killing his wife because of an affair he was having with another woman, whom he later married.
The latest news from around North Texas.
His attorneys have asked for a new trial, claiming new evidence implicates a then teenage neighbor.
But in its ruling, the appeals court said that information about this other suspect was presented at trial and Temple was still convicted.

March is colorectal cancer awareness month
Blue is the designated color and stars are the symbol for hope.
Many years ago, the National Colorectal Cancer Round Table (NCCRT) began using the blue star as a unifying emblem for Colorectal Cancer advocacy. Dozens of organizations and thousands of individuals show their support by wearing blue stars in the month of March. As you see events in your communities, I encourage you to participate to raise awareness and get screened. This is the most easily preventable cancer and it is also becoming more survivable even when diagnosed at late stages.
In the US, over 1 million people are survivors of colorectal cancer.
To kick off 2013 festivities, I am in Times Square to support the launch of One Million Strong #1MilStrong a campaign created by Fight Colorectal Cancer. The goal of the campaign is to increase awareness for prevention, screening, treating and beating colorectal cancer. All day we will be spreading the excitement from these activities:
- Free yoga sessions by Lululemon
- Dance class/party with James Darling and music by DJ Jay McElfresh
- Cancer survivor group photo
- A strong arm pose-off with a visit from WBO Middleweight Champion Peter "Kid Chocolate" Quillin
- And don't miss Prevent Cancer's Super Colon, an interactive exhibit that offers a close-up look at a healthy (and unhealthy) colon with tips about screening and early prevention
When on the One Million Strong website you can:
- Make a pledge to be strong, talk to your doctor about screening, be an advocate, urge family and friends to take action
- Learn more about colorectal cancer advocacy
- Discover how supporting colorectal cancer organizations improves healthcare for everyone
Fight Colorectal Cancer is one of the leading advocacy groups for this preventable, treatable and beatable cancer. I am proud to be on the team representing:
- The Colon Club which uses out-of-the-box ways to promote prevention and screening especially for men and women under 50 years old that are symptomatic and/or at risk for developing colorectal cancer. The Colossal Colon and Colondar models will be on tour throughout the year raising awareness in a community near you.
- Third Eye Colonoscopy which developed the Third Eye Retroscope device to help physicians see behind the folds and flexures in the colon where adenomas (pre-cancerous polyps) like to hide. This breakthrough technology allows physicians to see more of the colon which leads to increased detection of adenomas.
I hope you will follow the fun today on Twitter, Facebook, Google+, YouTube, Pinterest, and LinkedIn and share with your networks so we can "get behind a cure" in March!

|Original series
| Snow Way Out!
First broadcast
English themes
Japanese themes
Snow Way Out! (Japanese: イワークでビバーク Iwark as a Bivouac) is a special episode of the Pokémon anime. It was first broadcast in Japan on October 5, 1998, following Holiday Hi-Jynx, and in the United States on December 18, 1999. It was initially intended to be EP040, airing on January 6, 1998, but was rescheduled following the EP038 incident.
|Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.
As Ash, Misty, Brock and Pikachu continue on their journey, they come across a fork in the road. The trail to the right leads into a huge mountain. Ash's dense self decides to take the trail that goes into the mountain, and the others follow him. They then come across a very steep, snowy path that Misty claims they will need a ski-lift to get them to the top. Misty and Brock both want to turn around and go the other way, but Ash is different, and he claims that a Pokémon Master always stays on course, no matter what the conditions, and that he won't let a little pile of snow stop him. The simple mountain they have stumbled upon turns out to be a huge mountain range.
As the gang head up the trail through the mountain, with Misty and Brock wearing blankets (and are still freezing) because they are so cold, and Brock's compass is going crazy. He then figures out that the mountain has so much iron, it's throwing the needle off. They then realize that if the compass doesn't work, it will be difficult to find their way. But Brock says that if the sun is up in the position it's in at 3:00, and according to his calculations... they're lost. Misty shouts at Ash to get them off the mountain, and he sends out his Pidgeotto to find a trail that will lead them off the mountain. Pidgeotto flies around and eventually finds one, and it flies back to Ash and his friends, and points them in the direction of the trail. They then follow Pidgeotto while it guides them.
The camera pans over to a wide shot of Team Rocket, and the scene has transitioned. James and Meowth hug each other because they are both freezing, but not Jessie- as it turns out she loves the snow. James can't believe it, and Jessie says that it brings back memories. She then can't believe that James and Meowth haven't ever had a "snowgasboard" (a reference to "Smorgasboard"). She says that it was one of the few memories of her wretched and poverty-stricken childhood. The scene cuts to a flashback of Jessie as a little girl, and her mother, Miyamoto, calls her inside for her Snowgasboard. It contains: snow onigiri with snow sauce, a sampler of sushi-snow rolls, snow potatoes with sour cream and for dessert: a bowl of her favorite snow pudding. Jessie reminisces about her happy experiences, as James and Meowth think she is joking. Jessie says that snow food is low and fat and it helped her maintain her self-proclaimed fabulous figure. She then reminisces further about snow potatoes mixed with soy sauce, and that only fresh snow will do. James and Meowth are grossed out. James then says that they can head off Ash and his friends using the Meowth balloon. They then recite their motto. While reciting it, the balloon has drifted off and is now way up in the air. They chase after it without any luck.
The scene transitions to black clouds which could only mean one thing on a snowy mountain: a potential blizzard. The scene transitions again to our heroes as it starts to snow. They realize that the sky was clear just a little while ago and that the weather is totally unpredictable on this mountain. They know they have to get moving fast before a snow storm hits.
The scene transitions to Team Rocket again as the balloon is almost out of sight. All of their food and supplies are on that balloon. Jessie starts to look at the snow and then tells them she can make snow rolls. James and Meowth don't want them, and Jessie wants to walk further to where the balloon is so she can get some soy sauce. Meowth says that he would rather have ketchup on his snow rolls.
The scene cuts to Ash, Misty and Brock braving what used to be light snow has now turned into a full-on snowstorm. They start to contemplate setting up camp, but Ash, as diligent as ever, argues that the trail leading them out of the mountain is probably close by. Brock reminds him that the sun is going to set soon, and not even the bravest Pokémon trainer would wander around in a snowstorm in the dark. Ash agrees, and as Brock says they should start to dig a cave, the snowstorm starts to intensify and the intense wind knocks Ash down, and he lets go of Pikachu and the Mouse Pokémon is blown away, completely out of sight. Ash chases after Pikachu and Misty wants to stop Ash, but Brock stops her and the storm starts to intensify even more.
As Ash walks through deep snow while repeatedly calling for Pikachu in the brutal snowstorm, he collapses. Then he hears something: Pikachu's voice. Ash calls back to Pikachu, Pikachu responds, and Ash follows the direction of Pikachu's voice. As he walks, he falls down a small cliff. He then hears Pikachu's voice close by. He then sees the small yellow Pokémon and it is hanging by one arm from a wedge on a very high cliff. Ash tries to grab Pikachu, but it falls down the cliff, yet manages to grab onto another wedge. Ash thinks and comes up with a solution: Bulbasaur. He sends it out and it uses Vine Whip to grab Pikachu. But Pikachu cannot hold on and it falls down the cliff again. Bulbasaur acts fast and grabs Pikachu with its vines just in the nick of time. They pull Pikachu up to their level and Pikachu and Ash embrace. Pikachu does a facial expression of Brock and in doing so, he reminds Ash that they need to get up the small cliff Ash fell down before and get back to Misty and Brock. He tries climbing up the cliff, but to no avail. He tries calling their names, but this doesn't work either. Ash then comes up with an idea to dig a snow cave. He then sends out Charmander and it uses Flamethrower to blast through the snow. It does a good job of building the cave and then, Ash sends out Bulbasaur and Squirtle to help seal the cave off from the ferocious snowstorm. It takes them a while, but they do it. Ash then tries to figure out how to heat up the cave. Bulbasaur suggests to Charmander to make its tail flame more intense, and it does so.
Most of the next scene was cut for the dub, so there are some parts that only appear in the original Japanese version. The sections in bold are the Japanese version only.
The scene transitions to Team Rocket inside an igloo. James wonders how they are going to survive, while Meowth holds a match (a candle in the dub) that blows out. Jessie has 2 snow rolls in hand, and she proclaims it is dinner time. While Meowth lights another match, James asks if she has anything else to eat other than snow rolls. Jessie says it is the only thing, and she says it is good for them. Then she asks James to eat them. He declines her offer. Meowth's match blows out, and it lights another one. They ask Jessie if she has any more food. She says she does, she has more snow rolls. James then says he is not in the mood for frozen food. Meowth then tells them that all they have left are burnt-out matches, and James says that if they use their imagination, they can pretend they are heating lamps and that will be enough to keep them warm. Meowth then lights another match, and the camera moves in on him and the scene transitions. Meowth imagines himself in bathing in a hot spring. James imagines himself sitting in beach chair on the beach tanning. Jessie then imagines herself in thick clothing, sitting in a desert with heaters around her. The scene transitions back to the igloo and Jessie is holding another lit match, which goes out, and she sees that James and Meowth have fallen asleep. She slaps them around and they wake up. They then fall asleep again and she shouts at them to wake up, of they will freeze to death. She slaps them around some more.
As the brutal snowstorm rages on, the scene transitions back to Ash's cave where he and 4 of his Pokémon are staying. Ash wonders where Misty and Brock are and how they are doing. But there is a new problem: After a long time of keeping the others warm, Charmander's tail flame starts to weaken. Charmander is exhausted after it used up all of its flame. Ash tells Charmander to get back into its Poké Ball, but it refuses, but Ash calls it back anyway, much to Charmander's shock. Ash then figures that the Pokémon should be warm inside their Poké Balls. So, he tells Bulbasaur and Squirtle back into their Poké Balls, and like Charmander, they refuse too. Ash calls them back anyway, much to their shock. Ash then attempts to call Pikachu back into its Poké Ball, but Pikachu refuses, and it clings onto Ash. Ash is touched by Pikachu's gesture of trying to keep its trainer warm and he accepts its decision.
As the time passes, Ash and Pikachu are freezing cold, and Ash wonders if his other Pokémon are warm enough inside their Poké Balls. But now, the snowstorm has gotten so bad that a part of the snow wall has broken through. Ash runs over to the hole and sits in front of it, blocking the snow coming in, and Ash is already struggling to cope with the extremely intense cold weather. Now that the situation has become this bad, Ash tells Pikachu to get inside its Poké Ball. Pikachu again refuses, worrying for Ash's safety and Ash assures Pikachu he will be okay, as long as he knows Pikachu will be safe. Finally, Ash orders Pikachu to get inside the Poké Ball. Pikachu refuses once more. Then, the rest of Ash's Pokémon- Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle and Pidgeotto- all free themselves from their Poké Balls and hold on to Ash. Ash is so taken aback by his Pokémon's commitment to him that he is reduced to tears. He then says "you win. guess we will be cold... all together. that's right...we'll be cold all together."
It is now morning and the harsh snowstorm has completely subsided. Charmander demolishes the snow wall with Flamethrower, and Ash looks upon the amazing view with his beloved Pokémon. He hears a voice calling him, he turns around, and it is Misty, Brock and his Onix. He is very happy to see his friends again. Onix lifts Ash and his Pokémon up to his friends' level. They ask Ash how he survived the storm and he tells them about the cave he dug. Brock and Misty then reveal that Onix dug into an underground hot spring, and they were very comfortable there, much to Ash's extreme surprise. They then discover that the blizzard blew over Team Rocket's balloon, which is right next to them. Brock says it is out of fuel, but he sends out his Vulpix, and has it use Flamethrower, and the balloon is now flyable. They then fly off over the mountain range.
The scene cuts to Team Rocket pinching each other's cheeks, and they then see Ash and his friends in the Meowth balloon, and they chase after them. They then fall into a hot spring and are declined to move, they are very comfortable. Ash thinks he heard Team Rocket while the balloon files above them, and then, they see a town ahead and are overjoyed.
Meanwhile, Team Rocket discover that the hot spring is too hot for them to sit in, but the weather is too cold for them to get out. "We're all washed up!" they say on a final note that ends the episode.

- When episodes of the dub are aired in order, this episode and Holiday Hi-Jynx are placed between It's Mr. Mime Time and Showdown at the Poké Corral, as this is the point at which the episodes aired raw. This causes confusion from viewers due to Ash using Charmander instead of Charizard and Misty still having her Starmie. Canonically, these episodes go either directly before or directly after Pikachu's Goodbye. Due to not airing when initially intended, it will be considered by Bulbapedia to be a special episode.
- Snow Way Out is also the name of a Mario Party 8 minigame.
- This is one of the few episodes where Ash orders Pikachu into a Poké Ball. Though he doesn't succeed as usual, the fact that he tried is unusual.
- This is also the first episode where a previously captured Pokémon, other than Psyduck, forces its way out of a Poké Ball. Charmander, Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and Pidgeotto all exit their Poké Balls to keep Ash warm throughout the night.
- This special is featured on the Volume 9: Charmander copy of Pokémon All-Stars.
- The Pokémon Junior book, "A Pokémon Snow-Down" was based on this episode.
- When James is holding Meowth and they are shivering, Meowth's feet don't have the orange tips.
Dub edits
- The igloo scene was heavily edited. There is a scene cut of Meowth lighting candles with a match while Jessie explains how good the snow-rolls were, and all the shots of Meowth and Jessie holding matches in the igloo scene were painted out and replaced with candles. Altogether, 24 seconds were cut from this scene.

Principal Proposed Natural Treatments | Other Proposed Natural Treatments | References
Nausea can be caused by many factors, including stomach flu, viral infections of the inner ear (labyrinthitis), motion sickness,
pregnancy, and
chemotherapy. If you are continually nauseous, it can be more disabling than chronic pain. Successful treatment can make an enormous difference in your quality of life.
The sensation of nausea can originate in either the nervous system or the digestive tract itself. Most conventional treatments for nausea, such as Dramamine and Compazine, act on the nervous system, but products like Pepto-Bismol soothe the digestive tract directly.
The herb ginger has become a widely accepted treatment for nausea of various types. Vitamin B
may be helpful for the nausea of pregnancy.
For information on treatments to reduce nausea during chemotherapy, read the article
Cancer Treatment Support.
Limited scientific evidence suggests that the herb
ginger can be helpful for various forms of nausea.65
Nausea and Vomiting of Pregnancy
Four double-blind, placebo-controlled studies enrolling at total of 246 women found ginger more effective than placebo for treatment of
morning sickness.66
For example, a
double-blind, placebo-controlled
trial of 70
women evaluated the effectiveness of ginger for
morning sickness.1
Participants received either placebo or 250 mg of powdered ginger 3 times daily for a period of 4 days. The results showed that ginger significantly reduced nausea and vomiting. No significant side effects occurred.
Benefits were also seen in a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 27 women,2 and in a poorly designed double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 26 women.48
One study of 138 women and another of 291 women found ginger as effective for morning sickness as vitamin B
Unfortunately, neither of these studies used a placebo group. Since there is only one study indicating that vitamin B
is effective (see above), it isn't quite ready to be used as a "gold standard" treatment. Comparing one unproven treatment to another without using a placebo group leaves much to be desired.
Note: Ginger has not been proven safe for pregnant women.
Motion Sickness
A double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 79 Swedish naval cadets found that 1 g of ginger could decrease vomiting and cold sweating without significantly decreasing nausea and vertigo.3 Benefits were also seen in a double-blind study of 36 individuals given ginger, dimenhydrinate, or placebo.4
In addition, a double-blind comparative study that followed 1,489 individuals aboard a ship found ginger to be equally effective as various medications (cinnarizine, cinnarizine with domperidone, cyclizine, dimehydrinate with caffeine, meclizine with caffeine, and scopolamine).5 Another double-blind study found equivalent benefit of ginger at a dose of 500 mg every 4 hours and dimenhydrinate (100 mg every 4 hours) in a group of 60 passengers aboard a ship.6 Similar results were also seen in a small double-blind study involving children.7
However, a 1984 study funded by NASA found that ginger was not any more effective than placebo at reducing the symptoms of nausea caused by a vigorous nausea-provoking method.8 Negative results were also seen in another study that used a strong nausea stimulus.9
Put all together, these studies paint a picture of a treatment that is somewhat effective for motion sickness but cannot overcome severe nausea.
Post-surgical Nausea
A British double-blind study compared the effects of ginger, placebo, and the drug metoclopramide in the treatment of nausea following gynecological surgery.10
The results in 60 women showed that both treatments produced similar benefits compared to placebo.
A similar British study followed 120 women receiving gynecological surgery.11 Whereas nausea and vomiting developed in 41% of participants given placebo, in the groups treated with ginger or metoclopramide (Reglan), these symptoms developed in only 21% and 27%, respectively. Benefits were also seen in a double-blind study of 80 people.51
However, 3 other studies enrolling a total of about 400 people failed to find ginger more effective than placebo.12,13,60
A 2004 article that reviewed all this evidence concluded that, on balance, evidence suggests that ginger is
not effective for post-surgical nausea.61
Warning: Do not use ginger either before or immediately after surgery or labor and delivery without a physician's approval. Not only is it important to have an empty stomach before undergoing anesthesia, there are theoretical concerns that ginger may affect bleeding.
For more information, including additional dosage and safety issues, see the full
Inhaling a blend of oils including ginger, spearmint, peppermint, and lavender may be as effective as anti-nausea medications or pain relievers for nausea and vomiting after surgery or discharge. The results were from a randomized trial with 221 adults who were having surgery.75
A single acupuncture point—P6—has traditionally been thought to be helpful for relief of various forms of nausea and vomiting. This point is located on the inside of the forearm, about 2 inches above the wrist crease. Most studies have investigated the effects of pressure on this point (acupressure) rather than needling. The most common methods involve a wristband with a pearl-sized bead in it situated over P6. The band exerts pressure on the bead while it is worn, and the user can press on the bead for extra stimulation.
Although the research record is mixed, on balance it appears that P6 stimulation offers benefits for various types of nausea. This approach has been studied in anesthesia-induced nausea, the nausea and vomiting of pregnancy, and other forms of nausea.
Anesthesia-induced Nausea
General anesthetics and other medications used for
frequently cause nausea.
At least 8 controlled studies enrolling a total of more than 750 women undergoing gynecologic surgery found that P6 stimulation reduced post-surgical nausea as compared to placebo.20-25,52,53
On the negative side, a double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 410 women undergoing gynecological surgery failed to find P6 acupressure more effective than fake acupressure. (Both were more effective than no treatment).54
A small trial of acupuncture in gynecological surgery also failed to find benefit
26 , as did three studies of acupressure for women undergoing C-section.68-70
In a review of 12 randomized trials with 1,205 patients having a tonsillectomy, perioperative acupuncture was compared to usual care and sham acupuncture for postoperative nausea. Acupuncture was associated with improvements in nausea, vomiting, and pain postoperatively for up to 48 hours. Patients also used less medications to ease pain. However, the effect of acupuncture dissipated after 96 hours. Though the results are promising, the data was not evaluated enough to make a strong conclusion on the future of postoperative acupuncture.74
Studies of acupuncture or acupressure in other forms of surgery have produced about as many negative results as positive ones.27-33,46,55,62,63
Several controlled studies have evaluated the benefits of acupressure or acupuncture for
morning sickness. The results for acupressure have generally been more positive than for acupuncture.
For example, a double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 97 women found evidence that wristband acupressure may work.34
Participants wore either a real wristband or a phony one that appeared identical. Both real and fake acupressure caused noticeable improvement in more than half of the participants. However, women using the real wristband showed better results in terms of the duration of nausea. Intensity of the nausea symptoms was not significantly different between groups.
These results are consistent with previous studies of acupressure for morning sickness.36,37,56 However, two studies failed to find benefit failed to find benefit for severe morning sickness.71-72
However, one large trial of
acupuncture instead of acupressure failed to find benefit. This single-blind, placebo-controlled study of 593 pregnant women with morning sickness compared the effects of traditional acupuncture, acupuncture at P6 only, acupuncture at "wrong" points (sham acupuncture), and no treatment.47
Women in all three treatment groups (including the fake acupuncture group) showed significant improvements in nausea and dry retching compared to the no-treatment group. However, neither form of real acupuncture proved markedly more effective than fake acupuncture.
Studies are conflicting on whether acupressure is helpful for motion sickness.39,64
For more information, including safety issues, see the full
A large double-blind study (with almost 350 people) suggests that 30 mg daily of vitamin B
6 can reduce the sensation of nausea in morning sickness.42
For more information, including dosage and safety issues, see the full
Vitamin B6
Preliminary studies suggest
oil may be able to reduce
post-operative nausea.43 Multivitamin/mineral tablets
have also shown promise, possibly due to their vitamin B
6 content.49,50
On the basis of studies conducted in the 1950s, a combination of
vitamin K
(at the enormous dose—for vitamin K—of 5 mg daily) and
vitamin C (25 mg daily) is sometimes recommended for morning sickness.44

I had never heard of the car till we went to look at it. Its almost a year later are we put in an aftermarket radio and subs and now its popin. Plus people just love it because it has the jeep name. I can be your jeep with out the Jeep price.

Long trips, short trips and plenty of snow...
By Paul on Monday, March 11, 2019My wife and I are first owners on this jeep. Swore yrs. ago to never own one as aside from off-road, all I knew who had 'em, swore at 'em for being so unreliable, but stopped at a Jeep, Dodge, and Ford dealership on the way to check out Kia for a new Sportage as ours was 11 yrs. old at the time. Took out a Latitude with the CVT and after hearing a perpetual trans. sound, drove back to the dealer with no intent of even trying another. My wife spotted a Compass Sport with the 2.0 liter 5-speed stick shift in the lot and she loves driving stick shift so off we went again. The difference was stunning! This Jeep was dead quiet, moved out easily with the standard tranny and was several thousand less then the Latitude. Walked away from it, but within a couple days after testing Honda CR-V and Toyota Rav4...went back to dealer to test again. In short time, we decided this was the best bet. It's been extremely reliable, though FWD, it's been through blizzards, ice, etc. and has gotten us through it all while feeling stable and safe in doing so. Average in Summer is 31-33 and in Winter 29-31. Use Synthetic oil, have changed tires and had front brakes re-done around 50 K. The seats and fabric are both comfortable and "soft touch" , heater comes on strong in Winter and Same goes for AC on my trips to TX and 110 degree days. One of the smoothest transmissions much to the enjoyment of my wife. Lastly, as days get shorter in Winter, have nothing but praise for the excellent headlights as well as the fog lights...this is something few take into consideration, but our Compass we feel is exceptional in this regard.

A real Sleeper!
By Pirate on Sunday, May 06, 2018I wasnt sure I liked this rig at first after trading in my Liberty CRD I no longer needed. This CVT Compass has a learning curve. Kinda tricky at first given its very quick take off and somewhat delayed accelerated passing response. You have to learn to think ahead always a good idea anyway allowing the CVT to spool and be ready when you have to put full metal to the pedal. Then it takes off like a bandit --kinda scary since you gotta let her wind into the 6500 rpm range and stay there governed! Now were talking sporty! I get ~ 20 town I live up a hill, and 26 - 29 highway 4wd. Very inexpensive to maintain with the 2.4L 4 cyl World Engine. Uses regular oil, oil and filter changes every 3K, 21 @ my dealer, regular spark plugs 35K intervals, and thats it for routine service! The world engine was designed for ruggedness may be turbocharged and simple maintenance. No timing belt worries -- its an oil-bathed steel chain, are the CVT pulleys and chain! The interior is very simple -- the whole inside can be hosed out! No doggy or mud worries. There is a CVT mode that allows paddle-like shift ratio holding as well as a 4wd lock for trail and downhill braking assist. The CVT compass is great in the snow or other slick situations. When the 4wd differential lock is off, there is a slipping indicator in the dash that shows when the AWD drive is automatically engaged when any of the drive wheels slip. I have yet been forced to use 4wd lock system. This crossover compact SUV continues to surprise me and gain my admiration -- and my wife loves it, can we take the jeep?, drivers height and visability are great.

Click to see selection as Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) -
June 16, 2008
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captures the magnificent starry population of the Coma Cluster of galaxies, one of the densest known galaxy collections in the universe.
The Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys viewed a large portion of the cluster, spanning several million light-years across. The entire cluster contains thousands of galaxies in a spherical shape more than 20 million light-years in diameter.
Also known as Abell 1656, the Coma Cluster is over 300 million light-years away. The cluster, named after its parent constellation Coma Berenices, is near the Milky Way's north pole. This places the Coma Cluster in an area unobscured by dust and gas from the plane of the Milky Way, and easily visible by Earth viewers.
Most of the galaxies that inhabit the central portion of the Coma Cluster are ellipticals. These featureless "fuzz-balls" are pale goldish brown in color and contain populations of old stars. Both dwarf, as well as giant ellipticals, are found in abundance in the Coma Cluster.
Farther out from the center of the cluster are several spiral galaxies. These galaxies have clouds of cold gas that are giving birth to new stars. Spiral arms and dust lanes "accessorize" these bright bluish-white galaxies that show a distinctive disk structure.
In between the ellipticals and spirals is a morphological class of objects known as S0 (S-zero) galaxies. They are made up of older stars and show little evidence of recent star formation; however, they do show some assemblage of structure — perhaps a bar or a ring, which may give rise to a more disk-like feature.
This Hubble image consists of a section of the cluster that is roughly one-third of the way out from the center of the cluster. One bright spiral galaxy is visible in the upper left of the image. It is distinctly brighter and bluer than galaxies surrounding it. A series of dusty spiral arms appears reddish brown against the whiter disk of the galaxy, and suggests that this galaxy has been disturbed at some point in the past. The other galaxies in the image are either ellipticals, S0 galaxies, or background galaxies far beyond the Coma Cluster sphere.
The data of the Coma Cluster were taken as part of a survey of a nearby rich galaxy cluster. Collectively they will provide a key database for studies of galaxy formation and evolution. This survey will also help to compare galaxies in different environments, both crowded and isolated, as well as to compare relatively nearby galaxies to more distant ones (at higher redshifts).

Summit Up 1-2-13: Resolutions we can all get behind
Good morning and welcome to Summit Up, the world's only daily column that is just raring to get rolling in this new year.
It's come to our attention that peeps the world over take the annual changing of the calendar to mark resolutions for the following year. We've decided to jump on the old bandwagon ourselves. So without further ado, Summit Up's 2013 resolutions:
1. Stop eating gas station hot dogs. We know this is probably something we should have stopped long ago (or never started doing in the first place), but the sweet aroma wafting from the heat lamp/roller contraption always gets our mouth watering.
2. Stop eating gumballs and other delectables left on our co-workers' desks. Our collective willpower isn't that great, so this one might be a little tough. Conversely, if someone doesn't want their candy eaten, they shouldn't leave it out on their desk.
3. Wake up every day with a smile. We're not really sure how to do this, but we know so far that we're 0-2.
We've got an Angel Alert!! Angel Alert!! from Ryan Connors of Silverthorne, who had this to say:
"To the officer who responded to the call on our driveway in Wildernest. Thank you, it was a cold night and you had no need to stay, but you stuck with it till the end. And to you sir I hold my glass high! A toast to you sir for making our community proud."
Well, there you have it. Til we meet again.
Start a dialogue, stay on topic and be civil.
If you don't follow the rules, your comment may be deleted.

Ciena CFO Optimistic on Outlook
Jim Moylan, Ciena Corp. CFO, says he expects the networking equipment maker to see high single digit growth in 2013. That's based on slow growth in the U.S. and no growth in Europe, but strong growth in Latin America and Asia.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. – UMBC senior middle Emily Witsaman (Medina, Ohio/Medina) powered down a match-high 13 kills and classmate Mallory McIntyre (Winnipeg, Manitoba/St. Mary's Academy) dished out 38 assists as the UMBC volleyball team swept Providence (25-21, 25-21, 25-12), Friday night in America East action at Alumni Hall.
"Offensively we had a nice all-around performance and I thought we played a complete set in the third," said head coach Ian Blanchard. "Our middles were especially good and Ali Goc had a great all-around match.
"I'm really proud of our team's effort as Providence is always a tough place to play."
UMBC (18-10, 9-4 AE) hit .360 for the match with McIntyre setting up six different Retrievers along the way. Sophomore middle Krystal Mlemchukwu (Baltimore, Md./Western Tech) was also in double figures for the Black and Gold, sending down ten kills.
The Retriever defense was stout as well, limiting Providence (12-19, 4-9 AE) to .131 hitting, and not allowing a single Friar to record double-digit kills. Freshman libero Casey Griffith (King of Prussia, Pa./Upper Merion) paced the UMBC back line with 13 digs while senior Ali Goc (Oshawa, Ontario/R.S. McLaughlin) and junior Hannah Schmidt (Catonsville, Md./Mount de Sales) each picked up ten. Goc barely missed out on her 14th double-double of the season by registering nine kills.
The opening stages of the first set were tight as neither team could pull away with UMBC only claiming a 6-4 lead on a kill by Schmidt. After Providence pulled level at 7-7, the visitors took firm control of the frame with seven straight points behind Griffith's serving. The Friars initially chipped away at the lead, and then went on a run to take the lead, 21-20, on a winner by Kayla Johnson. The Retrievers regrouped immediately, however, and grabbed the final five points of the set, the last on a put-away from Goc.
In the second frame, UMBC made the first move, turning a 3-2 deficit into a 6-3 lead courtesy of two Mlemchukwu kills, a service ace, and a Providence attack error. The lead was short-lived, though, as the hosts rattled off five straight to retake the lead, 8-6. The teams played even from there until the hosts broke a 16-16 tie with four consecutive points for a 20-16 lead. UMBC again rallied late, reversing the lead with a 9-1 run, with Goc once again putting down the winner for a 25-21 set win.
Out of the break, UMBC jumped out to a 4-1 lead, built it to 6-2, then 9-3, and finally 14-4 before Providence won back-to-back points. From there the Retrievers took care of business with junior Tanaeri Santiago (Bayamon, Puerto Rico/American Military Academy) setting up match point with a kill and a Providence error ending the match with UMBC taking the third set, 25-12.
"It feels great to know we're going to our sixth straight America East Tournament." Blanchard said. "The team has battled this season and it's a testament to the athletes' perseverance and hard work."
UMBC now wraps up its 2013 regular season with a Sunday afternoon match at Hartford. The Retrievers and Hawks are scheduled to take the court in West Hartford, Conn. at 1:00 p.m.
Dawg Bites
- UMBC's nine wins in conference play are the most for the program since joining the America East in 2003.
- The Retrievers improve to 11-2 all-time against the Friars with a perfect 8-0 mark in conference play.

New reports have added evidence to previous speculation that Apple's rumoured iPad mini will be WiFi only, and that Apple is planning to launch a minor update to its 10in iPad that will bring the iPhone 5's Lightning connector to the device, and will make it compatible with the UK's 4G network.
The Guardian reports that 'industry sources' have told the paper that they think Apple will not offer a 3G version of the iPad mini. "That would allow Apple to produce it comparatively cheaply and to limit the top price of the product, while retaining mobile broadband connectivity for its pricier iPad line," the report says.
This is not the first we've heard of the iPad mini not getting 3G. In September, Allan Yogasingam, technical research manager at UBM Techinsights, said that the iPad mini would be WiFi only to keep the price down.
The Guardian says that 'multiple sources' have claimed that the iPad mini is imminent, and we've heard that invitations for its special event could be send out today. It's expected that the device could be hitting the shops at the beginning of November.
Accessories maker Knomo has reportedly said that it will have an iPad mini case ready "within days".
Meanwhile, Apple is planning to refresh its third-generation iPad with a version that is compatible with EE's 4G 1800MHx network here in the UK, sources told the Guardian. This iPad update would likely introduce the Lightning connector to the tablet too.
A minor update to the iPad has been thought to be on the cards for a while now, and most recently, a developer spotted an unknown iPad model with an A6 chip that points to a new version of Apple's popular 9.7in tablet.

It has long been seen as a matter of when, not if, Canon will come out with a mirrorless camera to complete with models from the likes of Fuji, Nikon, and Sony. A small tip toward that inevitability has been revealed in a patent detailing a kit lens meant for a mirrorless camera possibly containing an APS-C sensor.
The patent was uncovered by the Japanese website Egami. The lens sports an 18-45mm focal length and a rather slow f/3.5-5.6 aperture, all the markings of a lowly kit lens. But if it means a mirrorless camera that I can use my quality Canon glass on (with features intact), then bring it right on. [Egami via Mirrorless Rumors]
