|New Balance WC 996 Shoe Scores
|Arch Support
|Foot Support/Stability
|Overall Sole Durability
|Toe Durability
Building off the 851 model, the New Balance 996 uses new technologies to keep a low-profile design with improved stability. The addition of ProBand technology makes the stability better than ever. Combine that with the NDurance one-year guarantee, and these shoes are ready for the toughest of competitors. Our three playtesters found the 996 to shine in the lightweight and durable performance category, but our playtest team did find some fit issues and struggled to find complete comfort from this shoe. We should note, however, that New Balance shoes are available in different widths, and choosing the correct width could cure some of the fit issues that our playtesters experienced (our team tested the shoe before it came to market, so were locked into the standard B width). Those issues aside, the team did find better traction, stability and durability from this model, and that makes the 996 a solid option for those who want to feel supported, but not weighed down, on the court.
With different foot types, our playtesters had varying opinions on the comfort of the New Balance 996. All of them wore the standard B width shoe, but with her medium to slightly wider foot, Karly may have been better served with the wider D model. She said, "These shoes were extremely soft, had absolutely no break-in period, and offered exceptional padding. However, the shoes fit narrower at the forefoot, which put a lot of pressure on the inside and outside of my toes. It took about 15 minutes into my hit for the pressure to start causing discomfort. It was extremely distracting because I was constantly thinking about how tight they felt on my toes. I tried loosening up the shoe as much as possible, but it still didn't relieve that pressure. If I were to wear these shoes again, there's no doubt I'd go up a width size to a D because the width in the forefoot was just too narrow for my medium wide feet."
Carol also had a concern with the comfort. She explained, "I believe this shoe sacrificed a lot of comfort for its lightweight feel. The cushioning was decent and did the job around the heel of my foot, but I felt that it was inadequate around the arch and toe box. My toes were moving around the large toe box quite a bit, which led to some rubbing and discomfort."
Deviating from the other two opinions was Brittany, who found this shoe to deliver out of the box comfort with no break-in period. "I wore the B width and found it to be the perfect width for my narrow foot. I thought the cushioning was excellent. I would describe it as more gel-like and pillowy rather than supportive, and it was present throughout the length of my foot."
Though the 996 sports a lot of mesh in the upper, our testers were not all convinced of the shoe's breathability. It was just about average for Brittany, who said, "My feet weren't overly hot, but they weren't cool, either. I didn't have to immediately take my shoes off after playing tennis, but I would take them off shortly after to dry out my feet. I would note that I playtested these shoes during the month of February in around 60 degree weather."
Carol offered, "I wasn't blown away by the ventilation feature of this shoe, but I also never experienced any discomfort from over heating. I think New Balance did a good job with the combined mesh to allow comfortable breathability."
Karly disagreed slightly. She said, "The mesh material on the upper really helped to make this one breathable shoe. The 996s kept my feet cool and dry, and I never had to worry about my feet feeling overheated on the court, which was great. There are no complaints about the ventilation from me."
Our team all agreed that the arch support sat lower than medium. Carol thought the arch support was partly to blame for the lack of comfort, explaining, "I think the arch was a little lower than what I'm used to and that was part of the reason the shoe didn't really feel as if it fit correctly. The shoe did mold to my arch and I felt snug and controlled through this area of my foot."
Brittany said, "While I thought the arch was somewhat nonexistent, it didn't bother me at all. My medium arches had no problems in this shoe, and I didn't have any pain or support issues."
Concurring with the other playtesters, Karly added, "I found the arch to fall a tad below average, but it wasn't low enough to cause any pain or discomfort. I usually don't have any problems with my arches, and this was no exception."
One knock against the New Balance 851s was a lack of support and stability, but New Balance has amped up both features for the new 996. However, the toe box was too big for Carol, and that negated the promise of new found stability in this shoe. She said, "The shoe fit too long and too wide. My toes were moving around quite a bit, and I kept feeling as if I were stubbing my big toe during front and back movements. Movement was a little more tolerable side to side, but I felt less confident. I think the ankle and arch support were good, but this was completely overshadowed by my struggles in the toe box."
Karly didn't have any issues and considered the stability to be average. She said, "The shoes definitely offered more support than I was expecting because of how low they fit around the foot. The low cut didn't affect the stability because the shoes held my feet really well, so I didn't experience any sliding in them. I also liked that they felt low to the ground, which helped prevent the fear of rolling my ankles. I wouldn't say the stability was outstanding, but the shoes offered enough support that I could move aggressively and confidently."
Enjoying the foot support and stability the most out of our playtest team was Brittany, who found the 996s to be a perfect fit for her foot. "I would say that there was a decent amount of ankle support for the shoe even though the ankle collar is pretty low around my ankle. The support was increased from the previous version thanks to the NDURE cage that wraps around the upper. However, the support was around average compared to all the other playtest shoes."
Brittany was surprised at how well the New Balance 996 held up on the court, saying, "I was even more impressed that the shoe comes with a one-year NDurance guarantee. I wore this for 20-plus hours on the TW indoor court, and I have to say that it is holding up quite well. Even under the toe, which I tend to wear out first, shows little to no sign of wear."
Carol agreed with Brittany about the great durability. She continued, "The shoe looks brand new after all my hitting. There's great overall durability thus far, and that NDurance guarantee by New Balance doesn't hurt, either."
Karly rounded out the sentiments on the solid durability that the 996 provided by saying, "For how light the shoes felt, I was quite impressed with the durability. I would say the 996s were tops in durability for its weight class. It took longer for the sole to smooth than other shoes with similar weights. Outside of their weight range I thought they provided average durability, but for a light shoe I was really pleased with the toughness of the sole. Not too mention they come with a one-year guarantee, which is a huge bonus!"
The New Balance 996 has the NDURE cage on top of the mesh to help protect against toe dragging. Karly said, "There was good coverage around the toe box, and like the overall durability, I thought the shoe offered exceptional durability for its weight. I was happy with the shoe's toe durability."
An extreme toe-dragger, Brittany said, "The toe bumper is one of the first places on a shoe where I see wear. I am happy to report that the New Balance 996 held up to my standards. I can verify that the toe bumper goes up high enough to meet with the NDURE cage, providing plenty of protection."
Traction was another standout feature in the New Balance 996. Carol felt very confident that this shoe would support her in any quick movements on the court. She said, "Stop and go movements were made easy by the extra traction this shoe provided."
Concurring, Brittany added, "This shoe is also very easy to move in thanks to its low-to-the-ground feel. I had no trouble moving in any direction because I felt I had a good grip on the court. I felt very confident changing directions quickly and never had any problems with slipping or sticking to the court."
Adding to that was Karly, who found the traction to be great. She said, "Even after a little bit of wear, I thought the shoes did an exceptional job holding their traction. I was able to start and stop without sliding or feeling stuck to the ground. There was a good amount of grab on the court, so I could change directions without hesitation or problems."
While the New Balance 996 is over an ounce heavier than its predecessor it still maintains a lightweight feel, much to the delight of Brittany. She said, "I felt very quick moving on the court. To be honest, it felt like I wasn't even wearing shoes. No complaints from this playtester."
"Talk about a fast shoe!" said Karly. "I felt like I was much lighter on my feet, and I loved how my movement felt quicker than usual with these shoes on. It's safe to say the 996s are one of the lightest feeling shoes out there."
Carol was on the same page. She agreed that the shoe was lightweight, and she enjoyed how "they kept my feet very close to the ground."
Karly � "I loved the fast, lightweight feel!"
Carol � "I thought the durability, traction and light weight were the high performing features of this shoe. New Balance really improved traction for the tennis line. I felt confident that the grooves on the sole would support my movements. Regarding the weight -- it's true, this is a lightweight shoe that kept my foot low to the ground."
Brittany � "I loved how easy it was to move in this shoe due to the lightweight and low to the ground feel."
Karly � "The narrow fit of the forefoot really bothered me because of the pressure on the sides of my toes."
Carol � "I don't think this shoe fit me. I'd be curious to see how a smaller size would fit, especially in the toe box. My toes were moving around in the shoe far more freely than I am accustomed to or like. I definitely had rubbing and stubbing sensations in my toes from minor movements around the court. I like the lightweight feel, but I think cushioning and comfort were sacrificed. I never felt comfortable in this shoe, and when I was done playing I had no desire to keep them on."
Brittany � "I don't have anything that I really didn't like about this shoe. My one small knock would be the pinching of my socks on the side of my foot."
Karly � "I thought they were pretty similar to the Nike Courtlite 3s in terms of weight and stability, though I think the New Balance 996s offered the better durability of the two."
Carol � "In comparison to the New Balance 851s, I would prefer the 851s. The 851s were a far more comfortable shoe that fit my feet. I think the 996s have better traction and durability, but if I had a choice between which shoe to play a match in, the 851s win hands down."
Brittany � "I found this update to the 851s to be slightly different. While they both have that low-to-the-ground feel, I felt the 996s were a tad more stable and a tad heavier."

Skip to comments.Davidson College suspends Chick-fil-A from student events
Posted on 08/14/2012 10:36:51 AM PDT by spacewarp
DAVIDSON, N.C. -- Davidson College is giving Chick-fil-A the boot. The school is suspending the restaurant chain from serving meals at student events.
The union board will decide early in the semester whether or not to permanently ban the chain from campus. The suspension came after the chain's president sparked a national debate by speaking out against same-sex marriage.
Davidson College is coming out in support of perverting marriage. Nice.
Didn't the Feds allow public universities to kick out the ROTC?
Watch Corporate Contributors and Business Alumni contributions tank!
Yet the chain didn't discriminate or refuse service to gays
So much for the tolerance these institutions of higher learning espouse.
OH NO!!! Why this will have to be a separate line item on the 2012 income statement. Please tell me that similar action won't be taken at the East Armit, NJ community college. That would be devastating news!
Have a suggestion for those libtards who have issues with Chik-Fil-A and refuse to east one of their tasty Chik-Fil-A sandwiches: try Esad. It's made just for you. I'd like lots of libtards to try Esad. It's made naturally. Some versions of Esad include corn. For those who try Esad, but think it stinks, try Foad as a great alternative.
The college might as well put up a sign saying, "Christians are not permitted as they don't reflect Davidson College values."
If there is any doubt that many of today's schools and colleges are socialist indoctrination centers, this type of crap removes that doubt.
More big govt dictates on what we eat, what we drink, where we will wok, live, and play.
If my kid was in that school, I'd cut off the money until s/he changed to a different school.
The camel not only has his head in the (socialist) tent, he's all the way in, except for the ass, and it's in the White House.
FYI - Davidson College is not a public college - it's a Presbyterian college.
Welcome to the Thugocracy.
Now go pay your taxes - the leaders need more money. :)
Back in the 80's the SBC had to clean house at a few SBC colleges to get rid of rampant liberalism. Sounds like the Presbyterians need to do the same.
FYI - Davidson College is not a public college - its a Presbyterian college.
P!ssed away about 40k there till we had had enough.
Funny, considering it is a Presbyterian College.
Let the lawsuits begin. The Left lives by lawsuits. The Left is going to die by lawsuits.
Will they expel students for Kermit shakes —or Piggy fries.Or is it just an academic chick thing?
The math is quite easy to do.
More liberal boycotts = more sales revenue for Chick-fil-A
Never heard of Davidson. Maybe they're trying to use this to make a name for themselves. Sort of like Hillsboro tried to make a name for itself with the so called "Scopes Monkey Trial."
it's now a Lesbyterian college..
Oops! Not Hillsboro. . .Dayton. Hillsboro was the fictional town in the play "Inherit the Wind". Dayton was the actual town where the trial occurred.
Yep, I saw that. Georgetown University is Christian school, too. (sarc) I noticed that they want to ban Chik-Fil-A so that they can be "inclusive" to all people. It seems like their student government board has created a hostile environment for Christians that actually practice their faith. If they wanted to be inclusive they would invite other food chains that represent owners with different faiths. No... they've joined the popular secular movement in calling all people who believe in the Bible "haters" and non-inclusive. It gives the school a black-eye.
Not that it makes the school's decision any more acceptable, but Davidson College is a private university, not public.
As we all know, the media distorts and lies, sometimes lying by omission.
So, the article states that Chick Fil-A sandwiches will no longer be "served" at the events in question.
Was Chick Fil-A donating the sandwiches? They're known to do that, the company is VERY generous that way. If they no longer want their free sandwiches, that's good. Chick Fil-A will find a different group to donate. If they actually did purchase the sandwiches to be "served" (and for some reason, I doubt that), the addition of this family's now frequent trips to Chick Fil-A more than makes up for that loss.
He did no such thing. He spoke out in support of traditional marriage, which is patently not the same thing.
No we need to change that message. We need to start calling it what it really is...
this is Religious persecution.
An unknown bit of trivia...
Elvis' last word was "corn?"
We need to state that fact loudly and bluntly and fearlessly whenever anyone brings up something negative about CFA.
Anti-CFA sentiment is simply a proxy for anti-Christian bigotry.
More blatant anti-Christian bigotry = higher turnout on Nov 6
OK, I went and googled Davidson College. I was shocked to find that they are a Religous College. From their interwebs site:
"Religious Life
Welcome! Religious life at Davidson College is celebrated on the affirmation that we are all created in the image of God, brothers and sisters in the human family, whatever our creed, heritage or beliefs.
As a Presbyterian church-related college, Davidson values the life of the spirit and fosters openness to and respect for the world's various faith traditions.
With many religious resources and organizations on campus, we seek to be a community where everyone may grow spiritually through worship, fellowship, service, and study.
Peace be with you.
The Rev. Rob Spach, College Chaplain"
More like:
Christian values do not reflect Davidson College's values.
But does it get federal dollars?
Pull your kids from the college and if you are a graduate then quit donating to the place.
It's a PCUSA affiliated school. So this isn't surprising.
Yup. That's what I would do. This kind of university-sponsored hate must not be supported with our dollars.
Actually, that makes the school's decision entirely more acceptable. Chick-fil-A has the right to express its opinion, and customers have the right to vote with their wallets and decide whether or not to eat there. Davidson College, as a private university, has the right to (a) express its opinion about Chick-fil-A and (b) decide whether to spend its money at Chick-fil-A; likewise, students and prospective students have the right to vote with their wallets and decide whether or not to attend school there.
Twin sisters from my church graduated from Davidson. I wonder if they're proud of their alma mater?
From Davidson's website regarding their "religious heritage" -
What is the Presidential Qualification Bylaw?
The Bylaws of the Trustees of Davidson College state, The trustees shall elect a President of the College who shall serve as the chief executive officer of the college. They shall elect only a person who is a loyal and active church member, whose life provides evidence of strong Christian faith and commitment. Such faith and commitment will be appropriately expressed by affiliation with the Presbyterian Church (USA) and active participation in the life of Davidson College Presbyterian Church.
That explains everything. They're right up there with Jeremiah Wright's church, about as Marxist as they come.
Davidson College: we're so openminded we tolerate no dissent!
I graduated from Davidson and the story on this is somewhat misleading. To say that Davidson banned or suspended Chick-fil-A is an overstatement. It was a student organization.

An item on Tuesdays Local & State front about Davidson College was unclear about the organization that decided to suspend Chick-fil-A from student events. The Davidson College Union Board, which is solely student-based, made the decision.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Oct. 6, 2011) – Three U.S. men's beach volleyball teams have advanced to the third round of the Morocco Open, the final men's event on the FIVB Swatch World Tour 2011.
On Friday, the U.S. team of Matt Fuerbringer (Costa Mesa, Calif.) and Nick Lucena (Santa Barbara, Calif.), seeded 11th, will play compatriots Jake Gibb (Bountiful, Utah) and Sean Rosenthal (Redondo Beach, Calif.), ranked 14th, in the third round.
The U.S. team of 23rd-ranked Casey Jennings (Las Vegas, Nev.) and Kevin Wong (Honolulu, Hawaii) will play Netherlands' 15th-seeded Reinder Nummerdor and Richard Schuil in the third round.
Fuerbringer and Lucena opened play on Thursday in the first round with a 21-13, 21-12 victory in 32 minutes over Italy's 22nd-ranked Matteo and Paolo Ingrosso. In the second round, Fuerbringer and Lucena topped Germany's sixth-ranked Jonathan Erdmann and Kay Matysik, 15-21, 21-19, 15-12 in 55 minutes.
Gibb and Rosenthal defeated Norway's 19th-seeded Tarjei Skarlund and Martin Spinnangr in the first round, 18-21, 21-18, 9-15 in 50 minutes in the first round. In the second round, Gibb and Rosenthal defeated Russia's 30th-ranked Yury Bogatov and Serguei Prokopiev.
Jennings and Wong defeated Turkey's 10th-seeded Selçuk Sekerci and Volkan Gogtepe in the first round, 22-20, 21-17 in 38 minutes. In the second round, Jennings and Wong swept China's seventh-seeded Linyin Xu and Penggen Wu, 21-18, 21-19 in 39 minutes.
It is the first time ever that the FIVB Swatch World Tour stops in Morocco. The north-African country did host three challengers earlier, in Casablanca in 2004, 2005 and 2006. South Africa is the only other African nation who hosted World Tour events – in 1995, 2004 and 2005 in Cape Town and in Durban in 1996.
The $190,000 single-gender Morocco Open is the 14th and final men's event of the 2011 FIVB Swatch World Tour. The women finish next month with their 16th event in Phuket, Thailand.

Spotlight: The Cornish Seal Sanctuary
The Cornish Seal Sanctuary is one of the top tourist destinations in South Cornwall and a must-see for anyone...
We're open until 8pm and waiting for your call:01244 356695
You could be forgiven for thinking that these sweeping fields of lavender in bloom are in the heart of Provence, France. In fact, this particular vista was capture in the heart of the Cotswolds, England's most picturesque of landscapes.
Lavender has been grown in England for centuries and is reputed to be some of the best in the world. There are a number of Lavender farms throughout the UK, many of which are happy to welcome visitors to learn about the process of growing, harvesting, and distilling lavender, as well as offering the opportunity to walk the fields and be bathed in the intoxicating lavender scent.
Depending on the weather, the lavender in England is generally beginning to bloom from early to mid-June, with harvesting starting in mid-July. Can you think of a more perfect way to spend a summer afternoon while on holiday in the Cotswolds than wandering through lavender fields? I sure can't!

Red Tweneboa Djembe Review
Way back in March 2009, we had a discussion on Ghanaian djembes. This was followed in August 2010 by a similar discussion.
The upshot of these threads is that a number of experienced drum makers and players expressed doubt about the quality of Ghanaian djembes, the majority of which are made of a wood called Tweneboa. That wood is very pale (almost white) in color, has a spongy texture and low weight, and is very soft (soft enough to make a dent with a finger nail). In my opinion, (white) Tweneboa is utterly unsuitable for djembes. All the Tweneboa djembes I ever dealt with sound anaemic, lack overtones, and don't achieve proper volume. I would prefer an...

Epizo's camp 2011
I attended last week's camp with Epizo Bangoura at Bent's Basin.
This was the first (and probably only) time the camp was held there. Normally, it happens at the Bundagen eco community near Coffs Harbour, but that venue wasn't available this year. Bent's Basin is a state conservation area with a large park, camp sites, and an education centre (basically a large hall) where we did our drumming and dancing.
Because Bent's Basin is twelve hour's drive from Brisbane, I wasn't planning to attend—too far to drive and, because of the camping-only accommodation, pretty much impossible to do by flying. Fortunately, Matt, a drumming mate of mine, rang a few days before the camp and offered to pick me up from Sydney airport and let me sleep in his van, so I decided to attend on short notice.
The camp ran from Monday to Thursday. Only four days this time instead of the usual seven, mostly due to the change of venue. (Quite a number of people had already bought tickets to the Bellingen Carnival, w...

Drumming under water, part 2
The waters in Brisbane have mostly receded, but there are still many places that are inaccessible. I went to help friends of mine yesterday in one of the flood-affected areas. They were the lucky ones, living in a high-set house. They had three feet of water under the house and over their entire block. Despite the relatively mild flooding they experienced, the devastation is incredible. Everything is caked with mud, up to a foot deep in places. The smell is overwhelming: not only mud and rotting plant material, but sewage that got pushed out of drains and toilets during the flood. I saw many houses that were far worse off in the same area, some of them inundated to the roof line. People living in these houses have lost absolutely everything.
Traffic is chaotic with many roads closed. Those roads that are passable are covered in mud up to a foot deep. Driving along a flooded road, there are endless piles of destroyed household goods, furniture, clothes, books, and appliances lined up along...

Drumming under water
Well, here I am in Queensland (the Sunshine State), and three quarters of the state have been declared a disaster area. The recent floods are the worst natural disaster in Australia's history (in extent, not in terms of loss of life fortunately).
Queensland is a large state. To give you an idea how large, take Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana. All together, they are not quite as large as Queensland. You need to add Massachusetts and Connecticut to make up the difference. Or, if you want to put it differently, Queensland is has almost exactly 20% of the land area of the entire United States. Three quarters of that are flooded or severely affected by flood.
Queensland has experienced very serious losses of crops and livestock. Infrastructure is seriously damaged everywhere. Roads, bridges, water supply, electricity, communications, etc. It is difficult to ensure supply of essential goods to many areas that are cut off by the floods. Supermarkets are low or empty...

Bundagen drum and dance camp, October 2010
My belated report from the Bundagen drum and dance camp with Epizo Bangoura…
I drove from Brisbane towards Coffs Harbour on the Saturday, staying with friends overnight near the half-way mark. Not a nice drive because it was pouring with rain. The entire east coast of Australia was covered by dense clouds, and it had been raining steadily for two days already.
On the Sunday morning, I drove through more heavy rain and, having looked at the weather report, which predicted at least another week of more of the same, I decided that I wasn't going to risk staying in a small two-person tent for the whole week without extra protection. So I stopped at a camping store in Coffs Harbour and bought a 4x5m tarp, six poles, rope, and pegs to provide some additional protection from the rain. It set me back almost $200 but, by the end of the week, I was glad I did it…
When I got to Bundagen, mos...

PI puts breaks on new courthouse plans
ROGERS CITY – Presque Isle County commissioners are putting their plans for a new courthouse on hold after discovering they won't be able to finance it as they originally thought.
During a conference call Friday with Pat Coleman and Lisa Wrate of U.P. Engineers and Architects, commissioners asked the two to halt their work on a design for the new building. Some of the design aspects were starting to look cost-prohibitive. Board Chairman Carl Altman said that after working on the county budget for the next fiscal year, the county won't have enough for a large down payment for a new building, or to make payments on the debt.
Commissioners have been pushing for some time to replace the county building, part of which dates back to 1881. After weighing their financing options, they opted to pay for the project without asking county taxpayers to approve a millage.
Now, commissioners agree the project can't go ahead without a millage. After Coleman asked them what had changed to cause this doubt, Altman explained the county's financial situation.
"When we went over our budget, we realized that some of the revenue we anticipated is not there, and we had quite a bit of difficulty just trying to balance our budget with the expenditures and revenue," he said.
Commissioners were hoping to make a down payment of $750,000 to $1 million on any new courthouse, which could cost around $4 million, Altman said. The county has hundreds of thousands of dollars set aside in a courthouse construction fund, along with the county's general fund balance and some investments.
Instead, the county faces increased costs and declining revenues, Vice Chairman Bob Schell said. The budget will be stretched too tight to start such a large construction project.
During the conference call, Schell and Commissioner Mike Darga balked about spending money on plans for a building the county can't afford to build. Commissioner Kris Sorgenfrei pointed out the need for the building, and Altman said it would be hard to ask taxpayers for a millage without knowing how much a new courthouse would cost.
Wrate told commissioners the original concept of building a second story over the jail would be complicated and expensive. After discussing an alternate plan, commissioners asked Wrate and Coleman to stop their design work and look at an older set of plans. They'll send commissioners an estimate of how much it would cost to update these plans.
Commissioners were looking to replace the courthouse in 2002 when they hired another firm to draw up plans. These older drawings need updating, both to make them comply with building codes and to factor in the loss of office space. Three county offices have been moved across the street to the Nowicki Building since then.
Coleman told commissioners his firm is about 30 percent through the process of designing a new courthouse, and would have to bill the county for around $56,000 of work. This is part of the $160,000 contract commissioners approved in March for the new plans.
"It's not too late to consider a more cost-effective option," Coleman said.

About the Author: Jose W. Fernandez serves as Assistant Secretary of State for Economic, Energy and Business Affairs.
I am halfway around the world from Washington, and on October 6, I participated in the Indonesia Joint Agriculture and Investment Forum. I traveled to Malaysia and Indonesia this week to discuss trade, investment, entrepreneurship, energy, and of course, agriculture. I am proud to be part of President Obama and Secretary Clinton's renewed commitment to political, economic, and educational engagement with dynamic emerging economies like Indonesia. I am especially pleased to be back in Indonesia after my successful visit this past spring, during which we discussed the issues of post-harvest loss and agricultural biotechnology.
The Indonesia Joint Agriculture and Investment Forum builds on that work by including many distinguished participants to chart a course for the future. Dr. Bayu Krishnamurti, Indonesian Vice Minister of Agriculture, Ambassador Eric Bost of the Borlaug Institute, and many other luminaries in the field have come together to discuss new agricultural technologies, investment in post-harvest infrastructure, and expanded cooperation at research universities.
Ultimately, we are all here to reaffirm our commitment to fight global hunger. While there are no magic bullets in this battle, we must look to new technologies, including biotechnology, for the role that they can play in the "new green revolution." I believe that biotechnology, and the improved crops it can develop, will prove to be an important new element in our traditional package of tools to increase productivity and address head-on the challenges of hunger and climate change.
To that end, we are renewing several key partnerships in the area of biotechnology. The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) will work with the Indonesian government and the Program for Biosafety Systems to develop a new and fully functional biosafety framework in Indonesia.
We are also building on long-standing partnerships with international agriculture research centers. USAID will be supporting collaboration between the International Rice Research Institute and the Indonesian Agency for Agricultural Research and Development, and other partners to roll out Golden Rice, an important food-based approach to alleviating Vitamin A deficiency and associated serious health issues in Indonesia.
In the face of one child dying of malnutrition every six seconds, our greatest tool is increased cooperation and collaboration to develop and share the best solutions possible.
Jen in Virginia writes:
It's great to see this Administration's committment to the dynamic and promising economy of Indonesia. Beautiful photo!
Pamela G. in West Virginia writes:
I agree wholeheartedly we need to help stop the worlds food and water shortage. In order to that we may need to use biotechnology but strict Us and or European guidelines should be used before testing these new products.
Sarah G. in Washington DC writes:
I'm happy to learn the State Dept. is continuing its commitment to feeding the future. This is one initiative that cannot be ignored. Thank you for your hard work, Assistant Secretary Fernandez. From the photo, Indonesia looks truly breathtaking.

Geeze... let me guess, Santa will be pre-emptivly arrested for DUI and unable to deliver toys to tots on Cristmas?

You know Lee, if you think it's the end of the world, don't be bumming me out for the next year and a half please. I have enough on my plate, thanks.
Rumors of humanity's demise have been severely exaggerated many times over now by fear mongers. Propheteering the joy out of living as it were.
I hope you don't tell your kids these fairy tales and bum them out about life and their future.
Think about it.
Eric in New Mexico writes:
Oh gee, I guess I'm a year ahead of my reality...make that 2 years and 2 months give or take a week....
Hey Lee, here's a Bhuddist Prophesy for you...folks will find enlightenment right here at home just sitting around on New Year's day 2013, of how silly they've been thinking the global party was over.
That's a pretty safe bet, and one I intend to collect on..
