The global food system is broken. It's not just drought. Or famine. Or a bad harvest. A whole host of factors such as climate change, land grabs, food price spikes and intensive farming are stopping nearly 900 million - that's 1 in 8 people - worldwide from having enough to eat.
We know that it's possible to feed everyone on the planet, but many go hungry because the food system is broken. We are campaigning to ensure that, in a world where there's enough food to go around, no-one has to go to bed hungry. Take action and learn more about the issues below.
Finding space to grow food in poor countries has always been an issue, but now the situation is getting out of control. Land used by poor families to grow crops is being sold to wealthy companies or foreign governments looking for cheap agricultural space. These families are often evicted without their consent, with little or no warning and no compensation.
It's time to get land grabs under control. We're calling for tighter regulation of how land is bought and sold, that protects the rights of poor people while encouraging positive investment to fight poverty.
More about land grabs
As temperatures rise, crop yields will fall - to as much as half their current levels in some African countries according to some predictions. At the same time, extreme weather events like heat waves, droughts and floods are getting more frequent and severe, and the seasons that people rely on to grow crops are getting even more unpredictable.
We're keeping the pressure on rich countries to make vital progress on reducing their carbon emissions and support people living in poverty to protect themselves from the devastating effects of climate change. The world's governments have dragged their feet for too long. It's time to start dealing with a situation that's only going to get more urgent.
After decades of progress, the number of people without enough to eat is actually increasing, and food price spikes are a big part of the problem. That's because, when you spend up to 75% of your weekly income on food - as many poor families are forced to do - sudden rises have an especially destructive effect.
Price spikes have many causes - the changing climate, oil prices, dysfunctional commodities markets, biofuels policies that mean crops end up in cars and not on plates - but what's clear is that we are facing a whole new challenge. We're calling on governments to work together to deal with food price crises effectively - and to tackle the problems that mean millions of people can't afford enough to eat.
Following a century of increases, crop yields are flatlining - because intensive farming can only go so far. It's time to focus on the huge untapped potential of small-scale farmers in developing countries - especially on women, who often do most of the work for little reward.
Already, 500 million small farms help to put food on the plates of two billion people - or one in three people on earth. With effective government support and a focus on sustainable techniques, productivity could soar. In Vietnam, for instance, the number of hungry people has halved in just 12 years - a transformation kick-started by government investment in small farmers. It's time to change the way the world thinks about growing food.

Some are calling this a "status quo" election, since the White House, Senate and House staying in the same hands.� Does that mean we're looking at more of the same?
Not necessarily.� Keep in mind there were two sessions of Congress in Obama's first term. In the first, he was able to pull legislation kicking and screaming through a Congress despite the Republicans' best efforts to stop him. In the second, Republicans had enough votes to stop him.� That's where Congress stands after the election, too.� But the Republicans have to ask the question: How's that working out for you?
Mitch McConnell didn't get his wish for a one-term presidency.� His party lost seats in the Senate. Boehner didn't enlarge his majority, and with the Senate in Democratic hands, there's no path for a Tea Party agenda.� Boehner's caucus is still split, and he's still got to watch out for a Cantor insurgency.
We know what to expect from the Democrats. Obama will make deals when he can (remember, in the last lame-duck session he agreed to extend the Bush tax cuts), but he'll act unilaterally when he can't find a partner, even, as with the Dream Act waivers, extra-constitutionally.
The only interesting question is whether it will be status quo on the Republican side.� Forget Romney's loss and Warren's win; Republicans lost Senate races in North Dakota, Montana, Missouri, Virginia and Indiana. If Mitch McConnell is doing a victory dance, the GOP better find a new minority leader.
Obama won 71 percent of the Latino vote, 74 percent of the Asian vote and 95 percent of the black vote and 90 percent of the gay vote.� Young voters (18-29) came out in greater numbers than 2008, and 60 percent of them voted for Obama. Then there's the Republicans' problems with women.� Given that all these groups made up a larger part of the electorate than in 2008, and will comprise an even larger share two, four, six and eight years from now, the status quo can't feel too good to anyone in the GOP with a brain.� Republican strategist Mike Murphy says it's time for the "arithmetic wing" of the GOP to take the keys away from the Tea Party wing.
The civil war in the GOP will be interesting to watch.� There are Republicans who are going to want to compromise, starting with immigration reform.� The libertarians vs. social conservatives divide should surface again. The Ron Paul faction — the only Republican candidate who managed to spark enthusiasm from young people — can be expected to get louder.� Because of the conservative media echo chamber, the fact that most Americans don't agree with the Tea Party came as a surprise to a lot of Republicans Tuesday night.� We'll see how they choose to adjust to the new status quo.

Pullman Bay Burglary

crazy hi-def
The Celina Police department provided this security camera footage of a burglary at Pullman Bay, 117 Lake Shore Drive from the early morning hours of Tuesday the 24th of July. After breaking the glass in the northeast door, the perpetrators checked the area around the cash register. They then pried loose and took a safe from a desk in the rear of the restaurant which contained more than one day's receipts. The restaurant's security system indicated the burglary happened between 2:30 and 4 a.m. Chief Dave Slusser said investigators are looking into the possibility that this incident is related to a break-in reported the previous morning at Perfect Paws Grooming, Boarding & Supplies, 5485 state Route 29. Start-up money was reportedly taken from a cash register. Anyone who recognizes these individuals or who spotted unusual activity or suspicious vehicles near the establishments is asked to contact the police department at 419-586-2345.

Category name i.e.MULTI-ROOM
The system itself consists of two main elements: the Zone Player (ZP100) and the Zone Controller (CR100). The Zone Player is where all the technical action is and it's this exquisitely designed grey/white box that forms the basis of the Sonos system. Like its cheap and cheerful rivals, a Zone Player is capable of wirelessly treaming music from a connected PC, Mac or Network Attached Storage (NAS) device.
Hook up a pair of speakers or run the audio output into an amp and you've got yourself an instant Wi-Fi hi-fi. Crucially, it also offers multiroom support that doesn't involve digging holes in your walls. Up to 32 Zone Players can be linked together wirelessly, enabling you to dispatch Gorillaz or Oasis to every room in the house.
One of the problems with cheaper adapters like the SqueezeBox is they often require a degree in geek before setting one up. But setting up the Sonos is a breeze. You simply plug a Zone Player into your wireless router and install the Sonos Desktop Controller software on a PC or Mac.
The software takes care of the rest,automatically tunnelling through your firewall (to provide internet radio) and locating the Zone Player. Your part in this process is limited to clicking 'OK' a few times, showing the software where to find your music, and pressing two buttons to bind it to the host computer.
Here's the clever bit. Unlike cheaper digital music adapters that stream music over your existing 802.11b or .11g network, the Sonos system uses its own wireless mesh network (SonosNet) to link Zone Players together. Once connected, you access your music library via the Zone Controller, a weighty remote with a bright LCD panel and an iPod-inspired scroll-wheel. With this battery powered Controller, you can abandon the desktop software. Better still, if your music is stored on a NAS, you can switch off your PC or Mac completely. When the Sonos is set up, it will work without your computer's help.
Using the Zone Controller, you can quickly and easily search through the music library, sifting through your MP3, AAC, WMA, FLAC, Ogg Vorbis and WAV files using familiar categories like 'artist', 'album' or 'genre'. With one click, tracks can then be added to a song queue - basic shuffle and repeat modes spice up the playback. An active queue can also be saved as a playlist, while a lazy-boy option enables you to import existing Windows Media Player and iTunes playlists. DRM'd WMA and AAC tracks aren't Sonos-friendly, but as the system can be firmware upgraded, don't rule either out in the future.
It's a small niggle. For a ripped CD collection, the Sonos is technically perfect. Each Zone
Player boasts its own digital amplifier, so the sound has a rich feel, whether it's the uplifting piano riffs of Coldplay's Speed of Sound, or the head-thrumming back-beat of Gorillaz's Kids With Guns. Of course, the sumptuousness of music playback is ultimately determined by the quality of the speakers you plug into the Zone Player, not to mention the encoding rate of your tracks. On their own, a Zone Player/Zone Controller combo easily outclasses rival digital music adapters, but Sonos hasn't designed its kit to be a bogstandard point-to-point system.
Adding extra Zone Players is no more difficult than the initial set-up process, and with multiple units, you can stream different music to each player, or broadcast the same track across several players. Only then do you start to realise just how superb and indispensable the Sonos is. Suffice it to say, the Sonos system is one of the greatest digital home gadgets since the PVR. Yes, like the SqueezeBox and SoundBridge, the Sonos is effectively an IT-based system, but you never need to worry about the background tech. The Sonos just works.
So why are we fighting the urge to go out and buy one? It's a question of cost. The introductory system consists of two Zone Players ($999 each) and a Controller ($799). Add the cost of a good NAS, and you're shelling out close to three grand for a hi-fi. Then again, this hi-fi has the potential to change the way you listen to your music. The heart and head still say 'yes' - it's the girlfriend who needs convincing.
Sonos Digital Music System | $2399 |
For: Effortless streaming; good file support; gorgeous design; multi-room capability
Against: No support for DRM-protected files; very pricey
Verdict: Quite simply the best wireless music system you can buy - if you can afford to

Beautiful but not for long wear
"I'm a size 6, 95% of the time. This shoe is a little bit loose, but not enough to require an insole. Having the ankle strap helps it feel more stable. It is VERY cute, I got a tonne of compliments, and was comfortable while I was at my office where I sit a lot between appointments. But by the time I walked to car after work, my feet were in pain (enough to warrant walking a LOT slower and changing into flats in the car). A cushioned insole at the ball may fix the problem. Worth a try as these are SO cute!"

Very cute, just a bit tight by the toes
"I purchased the black and green ones and they look great! The only problem was that it was just a bit tight in the toes and made wearing them to work a bit painful. Maybe I need to break them in a bit more but I love the way these shoes look."

A Lunchware License?
By Jordan Vaughan on Jul 29, 2008
This is my first blog for work, so I thought I'd kick it off with a note on open-source licensing. I'm a fan of F/OSS but used to struggle when deciding between open-source licenses for my software. For me, the battle was between the GPL, the revised BSD license, the MIT license, and the University of Illinois/NCSA Open Source License. However, I tend to favor BSD-style licenses ("permissive licenses,") for the following reasons:
- For me, "free software" means that the licensed code can be incorporated into any application or library, including proprietary projects. Proprietary software should be able to incorporate and modify free software and remain proprietary. BSD-style licenses permit such incorporation: the GPL does not.
- BSD-style licenses are pithy: the GPL is not.
To complicate matters, I recently stumbled across a Wikipedia article on "beerware" and was instantly amused by its simplicity and liberalness. After some more consideration, I decided that all of my software would be licensed under either a revised BSD license or a beerware-like license. Unfortunately, I can't use the beerware license because I don't drink beer, so I created the "Lunch-ware License" for drys everywhere:
/\* \* THE LUNCH-WARE LICENSE \* I, <AUTHOR> <<EMAIL>>, wrote this file in <YEAR>. \* You can do whatever you want to do with it as long as you retain this notice \* verbatim. If we meet some day and you think this stuff is worth it, you can \* buy me a lunch in return. \*/
I doubt that this license will be widely used. Whatever. :-)

This Just In ...
Kevin Fischer is a veteran broadcaster, the recipient of over 150 major journalism awards from the Milwaukee Press Club, the Wisconsin Associated Press, the Northwest Broadcast News Association, the Wisconsin Bar Association, and others. He has been seen and heard on Milwaukee TV and radio stations for over three decades. A longtime aide to state Senate Republicans in the Wisconsin Legislature, Kevin can be seen offering his views on the news on the public affairs program, "InterCHANGE," on Milwaukee Public Television Channel 10, and heard filling in on Newstalk 1130 WISN. He lives with his wife, Jennifer, and their lovely young daughter, Kyla Audrey, in Franklin.

A few minutes later, she came back and told me politely that the bartender would like to speak with me. Sure, no problem.
Dressed in typical white shirt, black tie, the middle-aged mixologist greeted me with a friendly inquisitiveness. Wasting no time, and apparently not concerned at all about his ego, he got right to the point, asking me directly for instructions on making an old-fashioned.
I inquired if he had brandy in stock because after all,
Fine. I was appreciative that he was so honest and willing to satisfy a customer. So I went through the entire process that I knew very well having watched my father do it many, many times. It was his favorite adult beverage, God bless him. Sugar. Angostura bitters. Brandy. Sweet soda. Ice. Garnish. The result that night in Santa Barbara was grand, as if it had been concocted in the
During the mixing, a small crowd had actually gathered at the end of the bar where the old fashioned was taking shape to observe.
Leaving drink in hand to return to my table, I noticed the bartender suddenly had a look of intense pride. If I wanted another, I was told he'd be happy (and confident) to prepare another.
I felt pretty cool. Before my trip was over, a Valley Girl-type I met at the actual wedding reception guffawed when she learned I was from

It's cool to be cool and while I try to stay at the head of the pack when it comes to pop culture, I definitely come up short.
Case in the point: The TV series, "Mad Men."
I know exactly two facts about the program:
1) It's on Sunday evenings.
2) It's extremely popular.
The Hollywood Reporter reported on 3/26/12, "Months of buzz for the long-delayed return for Mad Men paid off in the numbers. Sunday's two-hour fifth-season opener brought record showings among viewers and key demo groups. Mad Men drew 3.5 million viewers during the course of its extended broadcast. That's 600,000 more than the previous high of 2.9 million achieved during the season-four premiere, a 21 percent jump."
Since I know only two obvious and not very detailed facts about the program, I turned to a devotee of This Just In who just happens to be a regular viewer for a descriptive summary. She informs:
"Mad Men is set in a
That's Don Draper, one of the main characters. His drink of choice: the old-fashioned, which has generated a tremendous rebirth of the cocktail's popularity.
And with this resurgence comes a host of so-called "experts" or "enthusiasts" claiming to have expertise on this classic cocktail.
Sorry, but this is NOT an old fashioned. Serve that to anyone over 50 in Wisconsin and they'll spit in your face.
Of course, we hayseeds in the
In the "City that doesn't sleeps," the old fashioned has taken off.
At Seersucker in Brooklyn, and old-fashioned is served with sorghum syrup.
At JBird on East 75th Street, an "original" old-fashioned is offered. But JBird just couldn't stop there. JBird gets too creative as illustrated on page one of its cocktail menu.

Call me behind the times, but I'll take what the bartender gives me in any Wisconsin supper club when I ask for an old fashioned. New York, you can keep your honey-nut old-fashioned. Bartender, I'll have mine with brandy, fruit (but most often, olives), thank you.
I'll make an exception for this Rehorst version.

The learning management system (LMS) used at the University of Sydney utilises a number of integrated communication tools to promote conversation between you, your lecturers and the rest of your class. Discussion boards and the Notifications page are the most widely used.
If your uoS website uses any of these tools, your lecturer might expect you to:
- post to a blog, journal or a discussion board
- participate in group discussions on a particular topic
- communicate with other members of a tutorial or team via a private group
- introduce yourself to the rest of the class.
These communication tools have different levels of privacy. Some blogs may be shared between the whole class or just a group, while others may only be between you and the lecture/tutor. Depending on group settings and your group membership, you may see different discussions to a colleague.
Blogs are public chronological posts, usually opinion based. These posts are displayed by the date of entry. Blogs in the LMS are only visible to people enrolled in the unit of study (uos), and by default can be seen by the rest of your class. You may be set the task of maintaining a blog as part of your assessment in a uos course. Your lecturer may choose to set up the blog for the whole class or as individual blogs.
An individual blog would have only you as the author, however your classmates could respond by posting comments. Blogs are often group-based - either within your tutorial group or as an entire class contributing to the blog.
It is best to treat posting on blogs as 'public'.
It is important to be aware that discussion boards have different levels of privacy. Group discussion boards can be read only by group members and the instructors and tutors. Only people enrolled in the uos have access to the discussions.
You can subscribe to discussion forums and threads in individual uos websites, but only if this function has been enabled by your lecturer. You will need to approach your lecturer to request they enable discussion board subscription to threads and forums if it is not turned on.
Tutorials on using discussion boards, and other tools are available in the University LMS, under the My Units of Study tab, Need Help section.
Journals, by default, are shared between you and your lecturer or tutor. They are a personal journal used by you to engage in private and internal reflection on a particular topic or aspect of the course. Your tutor or lecturer can review and comment upon your reflections. Teaching staff have the option of allowing other students to view and comment on your journal entries.
A wiki is a collaborative tool which allows you to contribute and modify web pages based on your own content. It provides a means of sharing and collaboration between the class or a restricted group. Pages can be created and edited quickly by members of the group, and it allows you to see who has edited, added or made changes to the wiki. This makes collaboration between multiple writers in tutorial groups easier, and allows you to edit online, in real time.
Your lecturer or tutor can create one or more wikis for all uos members to contribute to, or wikis for specific groups to use to collaborate. You can add text, images, audio and video files to the wiki.

Posted on 05/31/2009 9:35:48 AM PDT by Kansas58
Kansas Abortionist George Tiller was shot today as he was going to Church.
(Excerpt) Read more at kansas.com ...
If this story is true, it's terrible.
The entire pro-life movement will be tarred with the maniacal actions of the shooter(s).
No info on the shooter yet? This kind of stuff only helps the pro abortion crowd. The media and the democrats will just use it as a club to bash all of us who don't believe in abortion now.
Looks like George Tiller is facing his final judgment. Wonder how O Really will handle this one?
Still nothing running on this story via FOX, etc.
Thank you for saying that, and so well, too.
What makes you think the killer was against abortion. Maybe Tiller just got shot randomly by some wacko, or by a friend or relative over some money or something.
He reaped what he had sown: violent death.
suspicious timing?
If so, he really "took one for the team."
There was a lot of blood on his hands, and now there is blood on the hands of whomever shot him. Murder is never ok.
Very true.
Damn, Wikipedia already has his page updated. That site is amazing.
Reichstag Fire.
Kindling for the fire.
Tiller has committed outrage after outrage and not only gotten away with it, he has made a fortune! Sooner or later this had to happen.
Is this the guy involved with Sebilius?
The DHS memo has just been justified.
Even though he was a disgusting animal, he was still your friend's brother. I'm sure she loved him. Prayers for your friend.
My mother used to baby sit this monster.
Then, much of Tiller's family died in an airplane wreck, and Tiller seemed to go on a temper tantrum against God.
Then, Tiller actually co-opted much of the liberal Churches, in the area, and he had become the largest contributor to the Democrats in the state of Kansas.
By the way, he also used the Ku Klux Klan act against me and other protesters during the "Summer of Mercy" -—
(That Act was specifically written to protect "Catholics, Negroes and Republicans" in the Reconstruction South. I fit 2 of the 3). The Wichita Eagle claimed that "Judge Kelly Upheld the Law" When the tyrant Judge Kelly died -—
This IN SPITE Of the fact that EVERY SINGLE ABORTION RULING IN JUDGE KELLY'S COURT WAS OVERTURNED BY THE DENVER 10th Circuit COURT OF APPEALS -—
(For Judicial Misconduct)
So, a Judge BREAKS the law, and that Judge is lionized and cast as a Martyr, by the local newspaper.
I expect the eulogies for this monster, who is every bit as evil as Hitler or Stalin, every bit as evil as BTK or any other serial killer, I expect it will be sickening!
Maybe the same reason sinners goto church, we are all sinners whether we are save or not.
"Lets hope responses on this thread do not celebrate this. Let the other side celebrate death, not us. We need to defeat the dark side in the minds and hearts of people."
No suspect? Does anyone know the whereabouts of Bill O'Reilly?
"Damn. This will only make a martyr of Tiller and allow the media to portray pro-lifers as crazy and dangerous."
So true. Recall how Bill O'Reilly took just one comment here and used it to make us all look like wackos. I hope we can refrain from celebrating his death.
Mad 'cause someone beat you to it, eh!
>Shooting causes more shooting...
In a revolution, that would be the goal.
No it is not.
This whole "pro-life movement" concept is overblown. Liberals in power will not allow movements that aren't their own.
You're looking at this all wrong. The time for civility is quickly running out IMHO. In 10 years, we may wind up looking back at this moment as the first shot in the second American civil war.
I don't advocate this view, I simply make an observation.
Of course they'll catch him. He will be a white, middle-aged, church-going Christian who ate all the Twinkies.
What goes around...
As long as he approves of the life.
I'm sorry but I feel no sympathy at all. Absolutely none.
I understand your view. We all need to be armed. I don't want to think it, but I am worried that things will become so bad, this nation may be facing another revolution. All the signs point to the Kenyan communist, who is surrounded by America haters, being sent here to destroy this nation.

"This is what happens when the United States Supreme Court, the legal system, and our elected officials, and even some religious institutions, have all been corrupted to the point that a man can profit so much from killing babies."
From the AP Story:
"He has received numerous awards including the National Abortion Federation's highest honor, the Christopher Tietze Humanitarian Award and the Religious Coalition for Abortion Rights' Faith and Freedom Award."
we can all hold our fire and stop saying things like, He who lives by the sword, dies by the sword.
So? That whole Parick Henry thing leaves you cold, does it?
Anxious to see who the killer is and his/her profile. Expect a lot of national blowback on this. Talking heads will go ballistic against rightwing whacko's. Napalitano will revive her list of extremists.
More info on suspect at your link:
"The suspect fled the scene and authorities are still investigating. His car is described as a powder blue or light blue Taurus with a K-State vanity plate, license number 225 BAB. He is described as a white male in his 50's or 60's, 6'1," 220 lbs, wearing a white shirt and dark pants."
Sounds like he will be in custody soon.
That one blows my mind.
As another on this thread said, if this was about his ties to Kathleen Sebelius and had some damaging information on her, then the media is going to bury this story. If the killer was a pro-life activist, it would already be on the news with liberal news anchors screaming incessantly.
Tiller Abortion Worker Honored at White House by Obama
Yet another connection between Pres. Obama and late-term abortionist George Tiller
Contact: Troy Newman, President, 316-841-1700; Cheryl Sullenger, Senior Policy Advisor, 316-516-3034; both with Operation Rescue, firstname.lastname@example.com
WASHINGTON, May 26 /Christian Newswire/ — Gold Star Mother Betty Pulliam, who lost a son in Viet Nam, now works to take the lives of other women's sons and daughters at George Tiller late-term abortion mill in Wichita, Kansas. Yesterday, she breakfasted with President Obama and was honored in our nation's capital as part of a Memorial Day observance.
This is yet another connection between Obama and late-term abortionist George Tiller. Obama's new Secretary of Health and Human Services, Kathleen Sebelius, had close connections with Tiller. Pulliam was among those who were honored by Sebelius at a party held in Tiller's honor at the Kansas governor's mansion.
Pulliam, at 83, volunteers her time at Tiller's clinic on busy abortion days. She told the Wichita Eagle of her role as a Gold Star Mother, "You really don't want to belong to this club because in order to belong to this club, you have to lose a child. So nobody wants to belong to it."
"How ironic that Pulliam could make such a statement when she has dedicated a large portion of her life to insuring that other women lose their children to abortion. It is hypocrisy at best, and perhaps stems from some sick need to make sure that other women suffer as she has," said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman.
"Abortion, by its very nature, devalues human life. Pulliam's work at Tiller's abortion clinic, which specializes in particularly heinous late-term abortions on healthy, viable babies, is a major contributor to that devaluation. On a day when our country honored those who willingly sacrificed the precious gift of life for the sake of others, Pulliam's work taking innocent lives through abortion dishonors their brave sacrifice."
About Operation Rescue®
Operation Rescue is one of the leading pro-life Christian activist organizations in the nation. Operation Rescue recently made headlines when it bought and closed an abortion clinic in Wichita, Kansas and has become the voice of the pro-life activist movement in America. Its activities are on the cutting edge of the abortion issue, taking direct action to restore legal personhood to the pre-born and stop abortion in obedience to biblical mandates.
I do not support this. I support the rule of law.
Crimes such as this can escalate and we will have a corrupt society filled with fear and unexplained "disappearances".
Not necessarily. It could be someone who is trying to blemish those who are anti-abortion and pro 2nd amendments rights all in one fell swoop. And to protect corrupt people like Sibelius.
I hate that somebody shot him, but not for the reason you provide. No side has a monopoly on the use of violence, and it's an error to assign a willingness to initiate violence to a group, based on the actions of an individual.
Not saying that you are painting with a broad brush, but you ought not be offended by the twits who do.
I do not support this. I support the rule of law.

The Native American pathfinders along the
rock palisades of the Mississippi River did as present-day hikers do
-- in coursing the bluffs, they took the paths of least resistance. The
trails at the Mississippi Palisades, especially the parks southern
routes, put you in touch with the past. Walk them and youll trace
the footsteps of all those who came before you, some of whom came this
way nearly a thousand years ago.
Located near the confluence of the Mississippi
and Apple rivers in northwestern Illinois, the 2,500-acre Mississippi
Palisades State Park is rich in American Indian history.
Palisades is the word used
to describe a line of lofty, steep cliffs usually seen along a river,
and Mississippi Palisades, 3 miles north of Savanna in Carroll County,
handsomely lives up to its name. Caves are evident as are dangerous sink
holes--limestone caves that go straight down. Erosion has carved intriguing
rock formations, including Indian Head, with its aquiline characteristics,
and Twin Sisters, a pair of humanoid figures on the bluff tops. The U.S.
Interior Department recognized the remarkable nature of this area
in 1973 when it designated acreage here as a national landmark.
Wooded ravines, whose brilliant
hues splash the cliffs with color each autumn, dissect the unglaciated
terrain. Ferns dot the deep ravines, while in the parks northern
region, white birch leaves of ripple in the wind. Each spring and
summer the valleys and slopes are dappled with the blooms of trillium,
bluebell, lobelia, shooting star and yellow ladies slipper.
Animal life, within the park
and the river areas immediately adjoining it, is varied. Waterfowl and
shorebirds are numerous, as are wild turkeys. Striking pileated woodpeckers
make their home in the park, and depending on ice conditions, eagles feed
at the river in January and February. Because so many birds migrate along
the river, their lyrical songs can be heard at the Mississippi Palisades
each spring.
But not all thats fascinating
about Mississippi Palisades wildlife is in the skies. White-tailed
deer, gray squirrel, skunk, muskrat and weasel can be viewed in the park,
as can mink, gray and red fox, woodchuck and, occasionally, badger.
The gateway to seeing the
parks impressive assortment of plant and animal life is its rugged
15-mile trail system. The five trails in the northern part of the park
are generally wider and less strenuous than the five in the south, which
are narrow and extremely close to the bluff. The southern trails
are hazardous when wet.
The North System includes
High Point Trail at 3.5 miles and Aspen at 1.9 miles. Sentinel Trail the 1.2 miles, including spurs, is the South Systems longest hike,
but it and other southern loops are not for the tenderfoot. Ozzies
Point, Louis Point and Lookout Point, three developed overlooks accessible
by short walks, offer a surfaced trail leading to an overlook. Oak Point
offers a trail surface suitable for the physically challenged.
Hiking trails are closed
during the parks three-day firearm deer season, which is the 3 day weekend before Thanksgiving Day weekend. Information and maps are available at the park office as well as on this web page.
With 241 Class A and B sites
in both shaded and open areas, Mississippi Palisades is in demand by campers.
Electrical hookups are available at 110 sites. Showers and flush toilets
are situated in three buildings and are in operation from May 1 until
Oct. 31. The campground also features water and two sanitary dump stations.
Only campers with permits are allowed in the campground, with admittance
prohibited from 10 p.m. to 7:30 a.m. Reservations may be made through Reserve America. MAP
| Camping Fees
Two youth camping areas
also are available. These may be reserved from May 1 through Oct. 31.
An adult must accompany every group of 15 minors. Any group of 25 or more
must get permission from site personnel before entering the park.
and Boating
With the Mississippi River
and its backwaters the perfect habitat for so many kinds of fish, anglers
are consistently baiting their hooks at Mississippi Palisades. Catfish
and carp are the most commonly caught fish, but bluegill, crappie and
bass are out there, too. Those long on experience might even land walleye
and northern pike. There are no motor size limits on boats, and launching
ramps at the river access areas are free.
Hunters gather at the park
each year for deer and wild turkey archery and firearm hunting. During
the three-day shotgun deer season, the day use area and hiking
trails are closed. Consult the Hunter Fact Sheet for more information.
Mississippi Palisades Hunter Fact Sheet | French Bluff Hunter Fact Sheet
Throw a checkered tablecloth
across one of the parks many picnic tables and enjoy one of summers
simple pleasures. The shelter houses and drinking fountains in the park attest to
the 1930s craftsmanship of the Civilian Conservation Corps. Six picnic shelters are available, three of which are able to be reserved through Reserve America.
Rock Climbing
Rock climbing is allowed in the park but only in specific areas. Rock climbing is allowed at the Sentinel Area, Twin Sisters and Indian Head. The south tower of Sentinel Rock is closed to climbing. Climbers should bring their own equipment and go directly to the bluff, no check-in is necessary. Permanent anchors are not allowed. Illinois Department of Natural Resources does not maintain the rocks, cliffs, or other natural features of Mississippi Palisades State Park and are not responsible for climber safety and climbing protection on cliffs. Climb at your own risk!
Dont let a little cold
weather keep you from visiting the park. Mississippi Palisades offers
cross-country skiing and sledding for outdoor enthusiasts. Anglers are not left out in the cold either--or maybe they are--because ice fishing is allowed
at the boat launch area when the ice is thick enough.
Enjoy Your Visit
Your trip to Mississippi
Palisades State Park will be more enjoyable for you and for everyone if
you follow a few simple rules. Keep your pets leashed at all times. Stay
on designated trails. Dont pick any flowers. As the Indians did,
leave only footprints.
From I-90, exit at US Rt.
20 west (Galena/Freeport exit). From Rt. 20, turn south on Rt. 84. The
park is located 18 miles from Rt. 20.
From I-80, exit on Rt. 84 and travel north approximately 50 miles to reach
the park which is located three miles north of Savanna.

Business Q & A
One of the benefits of writing a business column for USA TODAY as I do is that I hear from a lot of small business owners. They make comments, have suggestions, and yes, ask questions. So in this blog and the next, what I would like to do is tackle some of the most common questions I receive. In this installment, we look at common business questions, and in the next, legal ones.
Q: Why do I need a business plan?
A: There are two reasons for writing a business plan:
First, a well written business plan – one that is clear and realistic – is necessary if you anticipate establishing a credit line with a bank or if you are looking for investors. The plan needs to detail how the money will further your business' goals and how it will be used.
Second, a business plan is an essential small business tool since it will keep you on target; it is basically a blueprint for starting, running, operating, and managing your business.
Q: How can we find investors for our business without giving away our idea?
A: I hear this question often, and basically my answer is always the same: Yes, people do steal ideas sometimes, but not very often. Begin with that premise. And anyway, the fact is, there is no way to fully protect yourself because ideas alone re not really protectable. If you have a prototype product, you can patent it. That is protection. And you can trademark and copyright other intellectual property. But ideas? Not really protected.
That said, what you can do is get people to sign a confidentiality agreement (a nondisclosure agreement, or NDA) before you tell them your idea. That is a measure of protection and also can act in a prophylactic way, as a warning to people that you consider your idea a protected trade secret of sorts.
Q: Do I have what it takes to own my own small business?
A: Not everyone is an entrepreneur. Some people are artists, others are dancers. Some people like to work for themselves and others like to work for others. To see if you might like to own your own business, ask yourself these questions:
- Am I a self-starter?
- Am I a risk-taker?
- Can I live without structure?
- Am I organized?
- Does my family support this idea?
- Can I handle the emotional aspects of being self-employed?
- Can I live without a paycheck and benefits?
- Am I highly motivated to undertake this endeavor?
- Am I willing to put in the necessary hours?
(For more help with self-employment, visit TheSelfEmployed.com.)
Q: How do I go about dissolving a business?
A: A sole proprietor can just shut the business down, pay off the creditors and call it a day. The closing of a partnership is usually done in accordance with the partnership agreement.
Corporations can be dissolved wither through a voluntary or involuntary process. A voluntary proceeding is begun either by the shareholders or by the board of directors. Upon approval, a certificate of dissolution is filed with the state. After that, the directors wind up the corporation's affairs – selling assets, paying off debts, that sort of thing. In an involuntary dissolution, shareholders can petition a court to dissolve the corporation, and if approved, the company's affairs are wound down thereafter.
Legal Q & A
In my last blog, we looked at common business questions I receive from readers. In this blog, I would like to share some more common questions, this time of the legal variety.
Q: I'm starting a new business. What tax considerations should I be aware of?
A: First let me say that my friends here at Greatland are tops when it comes to tax issues, so spend some time on this site.
Beyond that, the type of corporation you form will affect your taxes most significantly. The main difference between an S and C corporation is how they are taxed. An S corporation's income passes through to the owner's tax return, and as such, an S corporation does not pay federal tax as a general rule. Similarly, the type of accounting method you choose – cash or accrual – may also have an affect on your taxes. Finally, you need to pick a fiscal year that fits your business cycle.
You also need to learn your state's sales tax and property tax laws, as well as payment regulations.
Working with you accountant can help with all of these things.
Q: Where do I go to get a federal tax I.D. number for my new business?
A: You need to fill out IRS Form SS4: Application for Employer Identification Number (EIN), which you can get from the IRS website. When you have completed the form, you can get your EIN number through either the mail or by phone. Since you are starting a new business, ask the IRS about, or download, these two booklets, Publication 583: Starting a Business and Keeping Records, and Publication 334: Tax Guide for Small Business.
Q: Is there anything in particular I need to be concerned about when firing an employee?
A: First of all, the general rule is that all employees are at-will, meaning they can be fired at any time without a reason – at your will. But even so, before you ever get to a firing, it is smart to have clear policies about what sorts of things are subject to discipline in your office (sexual harassment, tardiness, insubordination, etc.) These need top be communicated to employees in writing, and employees should acknowledge receipt of these policies in writing.
If you have a process for discipline, it is imperative that you follow it, and document everything throughout the process: Document verbal warnings, document discipline, document transgressions, document everything. The point of all this is to not only let employees know what is expected of them, but to protect you against any possible wrongful termination lawsuit.
Finally, understand that even at-will employees cannot be terminated for discriminatory reasons – their ethnicity, their religion, etc. These are completely irrelevant issues and cannot and should not be mentioned in any firing scenario.
Q: Is there any legal action required when you sell a business?
A: When selling a business, the most important thing is to be sure to disclose everything to the buyer. Share the books, all contracts, all leases, profits, losses, everything. Business sales can be derailed when the buyer later feels that the seller failed to disclose an important fact or facts, thereby constituting fraud. By making a complete and full disclosure, you protect yourself against any such allegation.
5 Advertising Mistakes to Avoid
In my last blog, I looked at common questions and answers regarding business law. Today I want to dive a little deeper into that subject, specifically as it relates to advertising because I think there is a misperception out there that goes something like this when it comes to advertising: "Anything goes!" After all, it is an ad, right?
The fact is, advertising is regulated by both federal and state law, and the general rule is that an ad is unlawful if it tends to mislead, deceive, or if it contains a false statement.
Let me give you an example: In Los Angeles, a used-car salesman once appeared in a television commercial with a chimpanzee and told viewers they could have one of the cars on his lot for "1,000 bananas!" When an enterprising young man drove up with a trailer of bananas, the dealer refused to sell him the car. The man sued, and won.
So consumer lawsuits are one problem with deceptive advertising. Another thing to be wary of is the feds. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is the main federal agency that regulates commercial advertising and over the years, the FTC has taken action against many businesses accused of engaging in deceptive advertising. The FTC can issue a cease-and-desist order, bring a civil lawsuit, or require you to run corrective ads admitting you lied and that your earlier ad was deceptive.
So you have to be careful what you say in your ads. Here are some rules to keep you safe:
- Be Accurate. Make sure your ads are factually correct. Do not deceive or mislead the public. Yes, "puffing" is OK ("We are the best dealer in Ohio!"), but lying is not (saying you were "voted the #1 dealer" when you in fact were not.)
- Treat Competitors Fairly. It is fine to compare your goods and services with those of other businesses, but when you do, make sure every statement in your ad is accurate. Lying about a competitor can lead to a nasty libel suit.
- Beware The Word "Free!" Yes, "free" is the most powerful word in all advertising and I am not telling you not to use it. But I am telling you that when you do use it, what you are advertising as free had better really be free.
- Stock Sufficient Quantities. Most states have laws that require merchants to stock an advertised product in quantities large enough to meet a reasonable demand, unless the ad says stock is limited. If you don't have enough supply, your state may require that you give customers a rain check if you run out of advertised goods.
- Be Careful When Describing Savings. You must be truthful about pricing as well. Avoid using doctored price comparisons between your regular cheap prices and another company's more expensive prices, unless it is consistently true.
Advertising is one of the best things you can do for your business. You can reap the most benefits when your ads are honest. Read on to my next blog to see the 5 advertising mistakes you should never make.
5 Advertising Mistakes to Avoid
In my last blog, we looked at legal mistakes when advertising. In this one, I want to look at advertising mistakes when advertising. Generally speaking, there are a few common mistakes that small business people tend to make when it comes to advertising.
Here is the Top 5:
- Not properly targeting the market. You have to know exactly whom you are trying to reach with your ads, and where you can reach them. Too many small businesses have a vague notion of who their customers are (age, income level, schooling, etc.) Without really knowing your customers, how can you ever expect to find the right media source with which to target them?
Are you customers affluent, or not? Young or old? Educated or uneducated? Online or offline? Knowing the answers to questions like these will help you pinpoint where what they listen to, watch, and read, and thereby know where to advertise.
- Creating a bad ad. Sure, its great to have some funny ad, but if it either 1) doesn't cause people to remember the name of your business, or 2) doesn't compel them to buy your service or product now, then it is a bad ad. You want your ad to be memorable and persuasive, not funny but forgettable. A good ad will capture someone's attention and get him or her to take some desired action.
- Lack of consistency and repetition. When it comes to advertising, repetition is the key, repetition is the key, repetition is the key. What is the key? See? Running a consistent ad time after time builds brand awareness. Even if someone vaguely notices your ad for months, it still might be registering. When he later needs what you offer, the name of your business will be remembered – if repetition has been the key.
- Bad headlines. "Donate that car or truck" the local ad reads. Big deal. Who cares? How many times have we seen that? If you want people to notice your ad, you better grab their attention, and quick. "Free vitamins for life!" or "The lazy man's way to riches" or "Old car demands that it be donated to worthy cause" are the sorts of headlines that stand out.
- No call to action. The best way to remember what makes for a good ad is something called the AIDA method: Attention, Interest, Desire, and Action. First you grab their attention, then you get them interested in what you are selling. Next, you create a desire on their part for what you are selling, and finally, you offer a call to action.
Too may ads fail to give potential customers a reason to act now. That is why expiring coupons, sales that are ending, "quantities are limited", or a free offer for calling now are so effective. They get the customer to act, and that's the whole idea.

"These boots are absolutely adorable!!! They are cute and comfortable and the tread is amazing. I feel like I could go mountain climbing in them...Haha!! They do, however, run a little small so you definitely want to bump the size up one larger than you usually wear. Despite that, they were a wonderful investment and I've gotten a ton of compliments on them...especially from guys ;)"

Size bigger
"These are SOOO cute. I wear them for gardening and all. You still can be fashionable while digging dirt :-D Go size bigger (I bought 10, normal 9), as room needed when wearing socks and just overall."

"I love these rain boots so so much! They are very pretty, extremely comfortable, and finally not as wide as all the other rain boots I tried on before. It is hard for me to find boots that are not loose on my calf, these fit just fine (could even be a bit smaller). A must have in rainy Boston weather:)"

Stylish & fun
"I bought these boots and love the pattern. I wore them for a full afternoon of errands in the rain and I would say they were slightly uncomfortable in the ankles - perhaps the material is a little too stiff. It's not enough to make me not recommend them, though."

Fishing Report for Southeastern Utah

Fishing Report for Southeastern Utah

In southeastern Utah, all popular lakes, reservoirs and streams have been stocked. Many waters have already received their total annual allotment of fish from the hatcheries, due to concerns about drought and reservoir dewatering later this summer. Presently, fishing conditions are good and water levels are satisfactory. The July 4 holiday weekend may be the best time this summer to wet a line!
This reservoir has been planted with its total summer allotment of 4,800 catchable-size rainbow trout. Fishing was fair over the weekend. Suggested end tackle includes chartreuse or rainbow PowerBait. Gold Jake's Spin-a-Lures have also been effective. Fly fishers should try brown leeches.
Blanding #3 was stocked with a total of 3,000 rainbow trout this spring, but won't be restocked again this summer due to concerns about the reservoir drying up. Blanding #3 continues to be fair for rainbow trout, using PowerBait. Fishing is better in the early morning or evening. Recapture Reservoir is good for northern pike, which are being caught with spinners from the shore or crankbaits from boats. Most pike will be found in 10-15 feet of water in the deeper parts of the reservoir. Rainbow trout fishing at Recapture has been slow. Foy Reservoir has been good with traditional baits and spinners. Both Foy and Monticello reservoirs were planted with 4,500 catchable-size rainbow trout early this month.
The reservoir's full annual allotment of 4,800 9-10 inch fish has been planted. Refer to "Benches Reservoir" for tackle recommendations.
The reservoir has been planted with 4,000 catchable-size rainbow trout. No further stocking will occur this year, due to concerns about the reservoir drying up. Wildfire Power Nuggets have been effective. Fly fishing has been fair with red or chartreuse crystal buggers.
Duck Fork has no fish at this time. Later this summer, Duck Fork will be stocked with small tiger trout and Colorado River cutthroat trout. The tiger trout are expected to be large enough to catch in 2004.
The water level remains stable. Outflow is six cubic feet per second (cfs) and will remain so through the summer. The boat ramp on the north end is about one half mile away from the reservoir pool. Small craft can be hand-carried to the water. Bank anglers have had fair success on the north end with a night crawler tipped with a floating chartreuse Power Egg. Fly fishers have had fair success using brown leeches or red crystal buggers. This year, the limit on fish at Electric Lake is four trout which may be taken on any type of bait, lure or fly. Tributaries are closed until July 12. When tributaries open, the limit will be two trout, but artificial flies and lures must be used.
The reservoir has been stocked with 3,000 9-10 inch rainbow trout. There are carry-over trout from last year and an abundant population of brook trout. Try a worm or fly and bubble combination. The trout limit is four. However, anglers may take a bonus limit of four brook trout in addition to the normal trout limit. All tributaries are closed until July 12th.
The pond water level continues to drop. Trout fishing has been slow. No more trout will be stocked this summer. Two weeks ago, the Castle Country Bass masters worked with the DWR to catch 210 bluegill and 24 largemouth bass from Red Fleet Reservoir for stocking at the Gigliotti Pond. Remember that the pond is catch and release only for both bluegill and bass. The trout limit is four fish. Dave Babcock of the bass club suggests that anglers fish near the trees (and underwater structure) for both bass and bluegill. He recommends a small plastic white grub, tipped with a small piece of worm 2-3 feet below a bubble.
The reservoir has been filling up. The reservoir's summer allotment of 6,400 9-10 inch rainbow trout has already been planted. Try night crawlers for the cutthroat and chartreuse PowerBait for rainbow trout. Fishing success has been fair to good. Fly fishermen should try a double renegade or red or olive crystal bugger. All tributaries are closed until July 12.
The reservoir is closed to fishing in 2003.
The limit is four fish in the aggregate for all species.
The water is running low (six cfs) and clear from Electric Lake dam to the Forks of the Huntington, where the water becomes turbid and more than doubles in volume. Fishing in the upper reaches has been tough. Trout are wary and have been holding in deeper pools. A dark leech or wooly bugger is recommended. On the right fork (from Flood and Engineer's Canyon upstream to Electric Lake) only artificial flies may be used and the trout limit is two. Todd Munford of Big Pine Sports in Fairview reported good fishing on the left fork for anglers willing to hike. Todd suggests using a #16 beadhead pheasant tail, prince nymph, or a #12-14 royal wulff on the surface with a dropper consisting of a #16-18 disco midge or copper john. On the left fork, only artificial flies and lures may be used. The harvest of brown trout is encouraged.
Fishing is slow. No more fish will be stocked until next May.
Trout fishing has been slow. No more trout will be stocked until October. Largemouth bass fishing has been fair to good for those with the gear and know-how to catch them. In 2003, the bass limit is two; all largemouth bass over 12 inches must be immediately released.
(near the top of Huntington Canyon)- Although low for this time of year, the water level is satisfactory. Tiger trout range between 12-17 inches and have gone into deeper water (14-18 feet). Todd Munford of Big Pine Sports in Fairview reports fair shoreline fishing on the eastside.

Mississippi State basketball is coming to Tupelo next season.
The school announced this morning that Rick Ray's Bulldogs will take on Southeastern Louisiana at BancorpSouth Arena on Dec. 13. It'll be the first time in 10 years that MSU has played in Tupelo; it beat New Orleans, 77-59, on Dec. 16, 2003. State is 3-0 at BSA, including wins over Northwestern in 1998 and UT-Martin in 1997.
MSU has traditionally played a non-conference game in Jackson every year, but it appears that Tupelo will be getting that game every other year.
"Tupelo has always been a supportive and very strong fan base for Mississippi State athletics, and we are glad that we are able to return the favor by playing a game for those fans in Tupelo," Ray said in a statement. "My hope would be to alternate games every season between Tupelo and Jackson in order to reach out to Mississippi State supporters in both communities."
BancorpSouth, which seats 8,000, is currently undergoing a $1.6 million renovation. It's hosted a variety of sporting events in the past, including the Gulf South Conference basketball tournament and the MHSAA Grand Slam basketball tournament.

Cute & comfortable
"I have looked all over the place for black flats with a thick sole and I finally found them! These are the most comfortable flats I've managed to find! I started to get blisters in the heel area the first time I wore them, but I think it's just from stiffness from not being worn in. I'm very pleased with my purchase."
