The debate over water and agriculture is a tangled web of interlinked policies, on-farm actions, science, emotion, perception and economic and cultural factors affecting its use, availability and quality.
Some factors are well understood, others are not. The biggest issue in the public eye is quality. But access to water and its use, irrigation and storage are also vital.
Although most farmers are working hard to adapt and evolve alongside changing public expectations of water quality, they are also trying to keep up with the demands of the Government and regional councils, while working out what it means to their farm.
The farming community wants to play its part in ensuring everyone has reasonable access to clean water but there is no clear consensus on what pathways should be taken to reach that goal.
Everyone who has had anything to do with farming knows the story of the early and mid-80s. The removal of subsidies had a profound effect on the economic viability of many farms and sparked a quantum shift in the way New Zealand agriculture went about its business.
Today's debate on water quality and agriculture is as much of a quantum shift and we do not know if it will boost or damage New Zealand's largest export earner.
On May 12 last year, the Government gazetted the National Policy Statement on Freshwater Management (NPS), which essentially requires regional councils to set limits on water quality.
Last year, the Ministry for the Environment put together an implementation guide for the NPS.
The 50-page document is supposed to guide councils in their implementation and interpretation of the much shorter NPS, which could easily be read in ways that could put farming out of business. The implementation guide provides some assurance the NPS is about protecting water quality in a balanced way.
The guide is clear that implementing the NPS should and will take time and involve innovative approaches. It also indicates that setting quality limits at a catchment level requires engagement with each community.
The Land and Water Forum (LAWF) is the Government's independent vehicle for reaching agreement, at a national level, between many different interests on plan for water management.
In its first two reports, LAWF made a set of recommendations to Government and its all important third report is imminent.
Although LAWF is a laudable, if sometimes frustrating process, its recommendations will be too late for what farmers are facing now as councils throughout the country begin to implement their NPS interpretations of what needs to be done to set water quality limits.
The Ministry for Primary Industries website says that "irrigation plays an important role in agricultural productivity and is a major contributor to the New Zealand economy. In 2002/03 irrigation was estimated to contribute about $920 million net GDP 'at the farm gate', over and above that which would have been produced from the same land without irrigation."
The ministry has identified a further 1.9 million hectares which could benefit from irrigation and has allocated $435 million for developing water storage.
Although the NPS states the effects of its implementation should be reviewed by the minister for the environment after no more than five years, there are strong grounds for holding that review now.
First, there seems no point in LAWF collectively spending many thousands of hours and dollars in meetings at Federated Farmers' boardrooms thrashing out what can be agreed on how, when and what to do about water management in New Zealand, only to be trumped by premature implementation of NPS by overeager councils.
Recommendations need time to be debated by a wider public, then enacted, before we continue to interpret and re-interpret NPS region by region.
Second, we need to ensure we get the economic and environmental mix right, through agreed, science-informed, community-led and catchment-based processes.
The removal of subsidies had a profound effect on agriculture. So will setting water-quality limits but Kiwi farmers are adaptive and will respond to the limits.
We need to make sure we have learned our lessons from the mid-80s. Instead of jumping into sweeping changes, farmers need to be given a chance.APN News & Media

Chemotherapy is a treatment used to kill cancer cells. It involves taking medications that are toxic to fast-growing cells like cancer cells.
Chemotherapy is used to treat cancer. The goal is to reduce the number of cancer cells or decrease the size of tumors.
Many types of chemotherapy drugs not only damage the cancer cells but can also damage some of your normal cells. This can create side effects. Side effects will vary between chemotherapy treatments. Your doctor will review a list of possible side effects for your treatment type. Some side effects of chemotherapy include:
You and your doctor will talk about options to help relieve some of these side effects.
You may be asked to take some pre-medications such as:
Your doctor will talk to you about the best way to deliver the medication(s). Chemotherapy drugs may be given by:

How long it will take depends on the method used, the number of medications, and the amount of each medication. A session may be as brief as the time it takes to swallow a pill. It could also take several hours or last overnight. Some types of chemotherapy can be given as a continuous infusion through a portable pump.
The treatment may cause a number of uncomfortable side effects. The delivery of the chemotherapy usually does not hurt.
Most often, you can leave after the medication is delivered. Some chemotherapy treatments will require a stay in the hospital. This may be about 2-3 days.
Your doctor may choose to keep you in the hospital if you have complications, such as severe vomiting.
You may be given any of the following:

Skip to comments.Sen. Mark Warner seeks gun control action in wake of mass shooting
Posted on 12/17/2012 9:49:52 PM PST by Tailgunner Joe
Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) has an A rating from the National Rifle Association and a new perspective on gun control since Fridays mass shooting at a Connecticut elementary school.
Ive been a strong supporter of Second Amendment rights, Warner said Monday outside the Virginia Capitol, where he was attending an unrelated meeting. Ive got an A rating from the NRA. But the status quo isnt acceptable. Ive got three daughters. They asked me on Friday evening, Dad, what are you gonna do about this? Theres got to be a way to put reasonable restrictions, particularly as we look at assault weapons, as we look at these fast clips of ammunition.
Warner said his resolve to pursue a solution solidified over the weekend while attending a Washington Wizards game. Many people approached him to talk about the tragedy, in which a gunman with a military-style rifle killed 20 first-graders and seven adults.
I must have had a half-dozen people come up Colin Powell actually, Warner said. People were just coming up and saying, Hey, weve got to [do something].
Warner declined to elaborate on what Powell, the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and former secretary of state, had said.
Warner said he hoped that the massacre would serve as a game changer on guns, as he put it in a tweet.
I hope and pray that this wont just be a flashpoint and then recede into the quagmire of legislative non-function in Washington, he said. But I think youre gonna see at least I hope there are an awful lot of folks who, like myself, whove got an A rating from the NRA that are willing to say, Enough.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtonpost.com ...
Thank you NRA.
Enuff said!!
Go pound sand, Warner.
Has he talked to Sarah Brady, Cindy Sheehan and Michael Moore yet?
Guess the NRA shouldn't have given this guy piles of money get re-elected eh? :)
It's like blaming the car for the car wreck, outlawing the car driven by the crazy person, rather than dealing with the problem - the driver.
We'll see how long you keep it.
Mark, why not take action against the psychopaths walking freely among us?
His answer to his daughters should have been " I am going to fight to give everyone the right to be armed anytime and anywhere so they can defend themselves and their families." That is the answer to how these crazies can be stopped. These massacres won't be stopped by curbing the rights of sane law abiding citizens, because the truly disturbed will always find a way to kill. They will do it with a car or blade or bomb or arson, they will not be stopped by laws or reason.
Require church attendance. Hah
The American Revolution began when the British tried to disarm the Colonists. (In Mass of all places!!!)
It's only fitting that the American Revolution ends with the Colonists demanding to be disarmed.
You've come a LONG way baby. :D
Precisely WHAT THE HELL don't these MORONS get about CRIMINALS DON'T OBEY YOUR F**KING LAWS? That's why they're called CRIMINALS!!
So let's punish the law-abiding 99%+!!
Good grief!!!
Fast clips?
Why is it that these Liberal Politicians (they used to call themselves that) are always ready to err on the side of less freedom instead of more?
I think that they dont understand what the term liberal really means. Of course they dont like to be called Liberal anymore because the term has become derogatory in common use. Well at least they have finally become truthful in their real feelings about liberty.
Did the NRA appoint Warner to the senate?
Lock up the insane, but we got a legal system that favors the rights of the insane over the safety of the people.
So do something about that.
How old are Mark's daughters, and where do they attend school? Do they attend private schools with armed guards at the gate and fortresses so that a sniper would have difficulty picking off children as they play on the playground?
Where do the Obama girls go to school, and how many armed guards do they have? How many guards does their school have without a president's child in attendance?
If a student came to school with a loaded weapon at one of the elites' private schools, what would happen to that child? House arrest? That is what has happened to a student at a local high school here.
Too bad these reactionaries don't give 1/100th of this attention to the unborn and the Military.
This particular shtick has always been 'numero uno' on my Puke-o-meter.
Our founders knew that the citizen had the right to bear arms against the British soldier. This tells me that the citizen must be armed sufficiently against the weapons technology of a military threat. "That the right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the state shall not be questioned."
In Colonial times, "arms" were taken any weapon that could be carried. Such arms were a different thing than tanks, cannons and surface to surface missiles with warheads. Such had another name. They were called "ordinance." These are not constitutionally protect. However, anything that can be carried is protected. A citizen needs to protect himself from a military tyranny foreign or domestic (or a threat from another planet).
Excuse my typo errors. I did not see my errors before posting.
>> "Dad, what are you gonna do about this?"
Dear children, the "grownups" you're looking up to will continue to ignore the mental illness central to this insane violence. And they will make you vulnerable by steeling your Constitutional right to protect yourself.
good grief...could Warner hide behind any more people in this article? his daughters, other people, other politicians...couldn't summon the courage just to speak for himself.
"Why is it that these Liberal Politicians (they used to call themselves that) are always ready to err on the side of less freedom instead of more?"
Because it's the coward's position; easy to take and appear courageous while never actually being in danger.
"Girls, if I had any balls, I'd demand the elimination of gun free zones."
In the November election, Warner defeated Gilmore, taking 65 percent of the vote to Gilmore's 34 percent. Warner carried all but four counties in the stateRockingham, Augusta, Powhatan and Hanover. In many cases, he ran up huge margins in areas of the state that have traditionally voted Republican.[20] This was the most lopsided margin for a contested Senate race in Virginia since Chuck Robb took 72 percent of the vote in 1988.
Considering that Gilmore was pretty much beaten worse than any other Republican in history, would it have made a hell of a lot of sense to throw a boat load of money and endorsements at him? Or would it make more sense to get a Democrat in there with a solid history of supporting the second amendment issues and try to work with him to the extent possible?
You are starting to look like a fifth column member trying to undermine our alliances in order to tear down obstacles that stand in the way of the anti-second amendment Democrats- if not by conscious decision than by sheer ignorance. How do you answer to that charge?
Thanks - I'm glad good little "conservatives" like you are working tirelessly to make sure the radical left gets everything it wants. :)
Thanks for selling my liberty so cheaply.
Your philosophy is what got us Obamacare, tax hikes, economic break down and everything else going on right now.
I really appreciate that - I know the guys at DailyKos will. :)
The solution that would work: outlawing alleged "gun free zones."
I am canceling my NRA lifetime membership tomorrow because they supported this puke. Going GOA.
"Fast clips"
Will be the new meme. He probably got it from his Marxist masters. Just like calling semi-autos assault weapons and automatics...
Now ask, why have a need for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 when the Daily Kos is all you need?" then you will get a fight tooth and nail. However, when you mention words like "liberty," thoughts will bounce around their pea brains about the names of sluts they know on the cam. Yep, video games, web cam girls, government freebies and the Daily Kos. Life is so good. Life is so easy.
He gets all of it.
He just decided to exploit the deaths of all of those people to grandstand and score some easy political points for himself. Like most of these worthless bastard pols, he checked to see which way the wind was blowing, and adjusted his position.
Try magazines

You might be surprised at how effective it is in raising good children...: )

You hit the nail right on the head. That's exactly how politicians roll...
Virginia ping
Bring on the debate. Since the abolish the 2nd Amendment crowd is using the deaths of children to promote their agenda, every proposal made should be able to answer this simple question: "Explain how your confiscation of weapons proposal would have prevented the Sandy Hook massacre?" Then again, we are dealing with a mob . . . I withdraw the question. . .

Then again, we are dealing with a mob . . . I withdraw the question. . .
Here is a legislative proposal:
Let the teachers at each school decide if they want to arm. Couple this with school vouchers so parents can decide if they want their kids going to an armed school or gun free school. If teachers do not want to arm then parents should be allowed to volunteer.
Great platform for 2014!
To the contrary, the US Navy of the War for Independence relied heavily on privateers, and was fortunate that there were heavily armed ships in private hands.
Let's make the gun laws as tough as they are in Chicago. Works well there, right?
I can't believe that Warner went to a Wizards game and that there were many people there.
I agree these have to come to an end.
This mass shooting came to an end. The shooter had 'hundreds' of rounds of ammo, yet fewer than 30 people were killed. As terrible as that is, it could have been a lot more.
Do we credit the gun for stopping the killing?
Tell gun-grabber Warner what you think of his new position.....
"Ive got three daughters. They asked me on Friday evening, Dad, what are you gonna do about this?"
So now we have legislation by daughters.
What the &^&^%&!!!
This Nazi turd needs to be stripped of his citizenship and shipped one-way to North Korea.
Too right!
How did he win the senate seat when he held the entire state hostage for higher taxes by almost shutting down the DMVs?
Warner is a libtard of the first order...I weep for my state.

Students with disabilities have graduated from Wilmington College with degrees from every academic area; they have demonstrated the value of persons with disabilities to our community and paved the way for others to follow. The Office of Disability Services works with students and faculty to ensure that a disability will not be a barrier to equal opportunity and access to educational programs and services; however, the student's own engagement in the accommodation process is a key factor to her or his success. The Disability Services Handbook provides information about policies, procedures, and resources available at Wilmington College for students with disabilities.

College Hall 305A

It is the policy of Wilmington College to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and other applicable federal and state regulations that prohibit discrimination on the basis of disability.
Person with disabilities – any person who has a physical or mental condition which substantially limits one or more major life activities, has a record of such a condition, or is regarded as having such a condition. (ADA, 1990)
The admissions process and criteria are the same for all students applying to Wilmington College. Admissions counselors review all applications without regard to disability status.
Disability services at Wilmington College are provided through the Academic Services office, a component of the Student Resource Center (SRC). Please find the Disability Services Handbook below in PDF format.

Stylish and Affordable Over-the-Knee and Thigh-High Boots
15 Hot Over-the-Knee Boots You Need Now!
My new favorite kind of boot is the over-the-knee. I look forward to chilly weather so that I can bust them out and spice my legs up with them. But here's the thing: the right pair can make you look chic, the wrong, not so. You'll know when looking at it which category it falls in. I already own a black leather flat one, but would love to add a luxurious suede heeled style to my collection. During my hunt, I came across dozens of unique boots that I would make mine, wallet permitting. And these Stella McCartney Thigh-High Faux Leather Boots ($1,385), which the designer herself owns, are the over-the-knee Holy Grail. More than boots, they're like buying a pair of hot leather legs!

Want some help?
Most Office 365 plans include the same features for domains. For example, you can add multiple custom domains, add subdomains, and decide whether you want to manage DNS for a custom domain yourself or have Office 365 manage DNS for the domain.
Review the information below to understand how you can use Office 365 in your organization. The Office 365 domains service description includes an even more detailed list. You can also review the overall product features of each offering.
You can add additional domains. For example, you could add the domains contososolutions.com and contosomarketing.com after setting up your first domain. How? You can add additional domains to Office 365 with the domains wizard.
You can add multiple domains or subdomains. For example, you could add the domains contoso.com and contosomarketing.com, and then add the subdomains www.contoso.com, www.partners.contoso.com, www.partners.marketing.contoso.com, and so on. How? You add additional domains or subdomains the same way you added your initial custom domain, by following the steps in the domains setup wizard.
When you add multiple domains to Office 365, you can host any of the services (like email) on any of the domains you've added. When you change your email to Office 365, by updating a domain's MX record, ALL email sent to that domain will start coming to Office 365. Alternatively, you can take steps to pilot Office 365 with just a few email addresses instead.
If you already have a public website that you use with your domain, when you add your domain to Office 365, you can keep hosting your current website where it is hosted now without taking extra steps.
How? When you set up your domain in Office 365, in the domains setup wizard, be sure to choose Yes when asked if you have a website you're already using. (Or choose the option to manage your own DNS records.) Then you add and update your DNS records on your DNS host website to configure the DNS records for services, such as email and Skype for Business Online. Setting up these services does not affect your website.
Choose how you'll manage DNS for your domain. You can continue to manage your DNS records at your DNS hosting provider (or on premises, if you manage your own DNS file locally)—for example, to add or update MX or CNAME records. Or you can have Office 365 set up and manage DNS records for your domain. You'll have the option to choose how to manage DNS records when you step through the domains setup wizard.
If you choose to have Office 365 create and host your domain's DNS records, email and IM are automatically set up to use your domain, hosted by Office 365, and you can't host email or IM with another hosting provider. You also cannot add a subdomain of your domain unless you first change DNS management to a DNS host outside Office 365 for your domain.
If you choose to manage DNS for your domain yourself, you can set up email, IM, and your public website to use your domain in Office 365, or you can host some (or all) of those services on your domain with another provider.
Note: If you're adding a subdomain, like sales.contoso.com, you must manage DNS for the domain outside of Office 365. Also, if GoDaddy is your domain registrar, you cannot have Office 365 manage your domain.
More about how domains work with Office 365 services
In most circumstances, you can add up to 900 domains to your Office 365 subscription. If you're planning to use many domains, see Using a large number of domains with Office 365.
Office 365 creates a domain for you when you sign up with the service, like contoso.onmicrosoft.com. You can keep using this domain for your user ID and for your Office 365 services, or add your own custom domain.
You can use any custom domain name that is available at your domain name registrar. It doesn't have to match the first part of your onmicrosoft.com domain. For example, if you signed up for Office 365 using fabrikam.onmicrosoft.com, you could use fabrikam.com, fabrikam_NW.com, or a completely different name like fourthcoffee.com.
