If we follow the tracks of our ancestors back far enough, deep down in the roots of our collective family arbor, we find that we are the descendants of mystical people. Highly aware individuals with the abilities to track across any surface. Master survivalists, with the skills to flourish lavishly in any landscape. Every need provided for through the bounty of the living earth. Herbalists and healers with supernatural intuitive powers. Silent hunter-gatherers, camouflaged and invisible in the pigment and aroma of the very soils and plants. This knowledge has not been lost, this knowledge is still being preserved and passed on…
Paleo life first appears in the Americas between 15,000-20,000 years ago. The specifics of the paleoindian migration are still the subject of ongoing research, however most archeological evidence points to a migration over what is now the Bering Strait, down through modern-day Alaska, and spreading south and east to populate both the continents of North and South America. These people represent the epitome of fitness and the realization of the true potential of the human body. Paleoindians were the hunters of the megafauna: the giant beaver, steppe wisent, musk ox, mastodons, woolly mammoths, and ancient reindeer.[i] Their diet in comparison to later indigenous peoples was high in these megafauna protein sources and supplemented by the foraging for wild edible plants, nuts, and seeds. Hunting and gathering bands usually had no chief and the men and women earned the respect of the group because of their abilities at hunting, healing, or providing some other needed service or physical ability to the band.
I have been fascinated by the paleo lifestyle for most of my existence. As I child, I used to run through the woods, attempting to fashion a spear out of just about any long pointed object I could find, and family camping trips usually ended with my parents on the verge of calling the search and rescue team to drag me out of the forest. As I got older, I decided to actively attack this passion, and throughout my teenage and college years, I became a voracious student of primitive wilderness survival skills. I attended countless outdoor schools, workshops, and poured over every written anthropological record I could find that described the tools, methods, and lifestyles of the first Americans. I've always been a hands-on learner, so it was never enough for me just to read about something either. I was "in it", down on my hands and knees in the woods reading tracks; carving bow-drill kits to make fire by friction, brain-tanning animal hides, and banging rocks together in the hopes of making an arrowhead. While all the primitive skills interested me, it was always the hunting skills that peaked my interest above all else. After years of practice, honing my skills, and perfecting my tools, I was ready to put my skills in to action. To hunt as our ancestors did, tens-of-thousands of years ago:
I'm deep in the woods of Montana. The drive just to get to the edge of this property was over 5 hours from the nearest town, and by now I've hiked many miles from the last road. The land I'm told, is an original homesteader plot – 500,000 acres of untouched wilderness with several of its own elk herds. My spiritual preparation began weeks ago at my home in California: fasting, praying, and partaking in the sweatlodge ceremony. I'm fully committed to hunting in the old ways.
It's an eerily misty morning as the sun begins to rise, I can't see more than 20 yards in to a meadow that I know is almost a quarter of a mile long. As I come up out of a mossy ravine, under the cover of the juniper boughs, I can hear the mystical sound of the bull elk's bugle call. The primordial scream echoes off the hillsides causing my pulse to quicken and my palms to sweat. In my hands, I clutch on to nothing but sticks and rocks. A hand-carved wooden bow, made from an Osage Orange tree, and a small Dogwood arrow shaft tipped with a chipped flint point, and fletched with wild turkey feathers. I look out to the field, squinting, trying to focus on something that I still cannot see… when, all of a sudden… CRASH! The thunderous sound of antler-on-antler almost knocks me over backwards as two satellite bulls explode towards me engaged in a battle of dominance. Saplings fall to the wayside like cardboard models in a Godzilla movie and the ground shakes each time the bulls engage. I look down at the 2-inch stone point lashed to my arrow, and then back at the 1000 pound bulls and think to myself "no fucking way".
Then, as quickly as they appeared, the beasts are gone. Bugle calls go off all around us and the herd is on the move. My partner, who is my hunting mentor and best friend (as well as the author of the opening paragraph to this piece), looks back at me and signals that it's time for the chase. I've learned everything I know about hunting from him, and as I far as I know, we are two of only a few people still hunting big game in this sacred manner. We sprint through the field, staying low to the ground and following the shadows. Through another ravine, jumping across a small creek and scaling the side of a flood wash with the aid of tree roots and small rocky handholds. Moving through a boulder field, my legs start to burn, it's like a 2 hour long session of Tabata Squats… while running… through snow covered fields… trying to be completely silent and invisible. I can't help but think how clumsy my movement must be in comparison to my paleo counterparts. But that is why I train, that is why live and eat the way I do, to continue on these ancient traditions, and keep that small slice of human history alive.
That was my first day as a true paleo hunter. It was many years ago, and needless to say, I did not shoot an elk that day. Nor did I shoot any animal for a good 2-3 years. It took countless days of practice: tracking , stalking, sitting , and shooting, before I would make my first kill. My equipment alone has hundreds of hours of work put in to it – bows are the culmination of many weeks of refined woodworking, and a single arrow made of earthen material can take upwards of 2-3 days to complete. And when it's all said and done, I head out on to the landscape, like my ancestors before me, with a quiver full of weaponry that most people in the modern world would put behind glass or display on their mantel.
The thrill, excitement, and pride I take in harvesting my own food is immense and wholly incomparable to anything else. There is a deep spiritual connection that takes place in the depths of my soul when I am able to feed myself not from aisles of a supermarket, but from the plentiful earth herself. The meat on my grill was once a living, breathing creature. I know this not because I am told it is so, but because I was there. I have that moment, etched in to my memory forever, when I felt the wind on my face, the sun on my skin, and my senses stretched out in to the open space around me in a deep meditation of awareness. I can still see that animal moving gracefully in front of me as we carry out that timeless dance between hunter and prey that has been played out time-and-time-again for over 100,000 years.
I do not expect that everyone has the time to learn the art of bow-making and flintknapping, or the opportunity to spend hours on end in the woods tracking their prey. However, most of my students have already committed to that higher standard – you train with me, you study, you work hard to realize that human potential inside of you. If you're not eating paleo, than you need to seriously examine why you are even training so hard. If you are eating paleo already, then go kill something. Just once. Kill what you eat. Your diet already necessitates the taking of life, so I am wholly unwilling to have a debate with you on the morality of hunting. Have the courage to do it yourself at least once in your life and make that connection within you to your paleo ancestors. It will, forever, change the way you look at nutrition… and the world.

5 Things to Remember Before You Go Extreme Camping
Spending a weekend with the family in a designated camping ground comes with its own unique set of challenges, such as exactly how long should you grill those steaks? and how late is too late when it comes to shattering the meditative stillness of nature with the sound of your 4-wheeler? However, for some people, getting away from it all and roughing it in the wilderness just isn't rough enough. You all know who you are. You're the campers who "forget" to pack a tent. You're the campers who schedule your weekend in Yellowstone to coincide with the flood season. You're the campers who are, for lack of a less-annoyingly 90s word, "extreme."
Well good for you! However, a thirst for adventure isn't the only thing you'll want bring if you plan on surviving a truly extreme camping trip. Here are a few tips to help get you home alive.
1. Do some research. Extreme camping is basically camping minus the supplies. It's been called "primitive camping," and for good reason. Basically, it consists of living off of nature to survive. So, before you get yourself killed and end up costing taxpayers tens of thousands of dollars so that Search and Rescue can retrieve your desiccated corpse, do some research. Read up on the area you'll be visiting. Figure out what kinds of localplants can be eaten, and what kind of weather you can expect. Practise building shelters and campfires, and know how to prepare stream water for drinking. Also, it would be a good idea to make sure that your destination allows for this kind of camping, because fines and jail time are also extreme, but in less enjoyable way.
2. Start small. If you've never been extreme camping before, start small. Consider bringing a backup food supply or some basic fire starting equipment. Plan short (one- or two-night) trips, and stick relatively close to civilization.
3. Dressappropriately. I guess it really would be extreme if you were to just hit the trail naked and hunt for clothing along the way, but for the sake of modesty (and survival) make an exception to your primitive camping experience and bring along the right attire. Depending on where you'll be camping and how much walking you'll be doing, you may need a pair of sturdy hiking boots. You should also pack warm clothing—preferably waterproof—and a hat to help ward off sunstroke. Also, bring several pairs of clean socks, so you don't get a foot fungus. Some work gloves will also come in handy if you plan on doing any shelter building or tool crafting.
4. Consider the toilet situation. No supplies means no toilet paper. Didn't think of that, did you? Digging a hole and dropping your duece down into it isn't all that difficult, but unless you've got a really high-fiber diet, you're going to need something for wiping. If you've got some extra water for washing your hand, you could always go that route. It may not be pleasant, but it's doable. Alternatives include using leaves (which brings us to another reason you should do your research before you head out, because you'll want to know which leaves will and will not leave a burning rash when they come in contact with skin), or clean, smooth stones. I know, but its either that or your hand. Choose wisely.
5. Don't be an idiot. Thrill seeking is all well and good, but it's not worth your life. Before tromping off into the wilderness, let someone know where you'll be. Bring some emergency supplies along with you, like signal flares and a GPS locator. Stay away from wild animals, excluding only the ones that can be safely (and legally) harvested for food. I guess what I'm really saying is that you should use your common sense. Another thing to consider is to be aware of surrounding accommodations in case they are ever become necessary. Its not unheard of for an enthusiastic backpacker to run out of supplies, become dehydrated, or get injured. In that case it might be a good idea to have a backup plan or at least know what is around the area so if you need to, you can get what you need. You should usually be able to find some sort of lodging accommodations or a service center if you look out for them. Personally, if I were hiking through a desert like DeathValley, I'd like to know how long it would take me to find civilization in dire straights. Either that or be the hovering vultures next meal, but then again, it is extreme camping.

Help Our National Parks Survive the Sequester
March 1st was the kickoff date for a series of federal budget cuts that are designed to reduce federal spending by 1.2 trillion dollars over the next ten years. These cuts are known as the sequester. It may seem at first glance that we finally have some fiscal responsibility in our government. However, these cuts are likely to have a major impact on jobs and important government programs, some of which are already being seen.
If you've been fortunate enough to keep your job over the last couple months, you might simply be wondering what the sequester is all about and how it is affecting you and your family. Here are some quick facts and figures that will help you visualize the impact of sequestration:

Guide Training and Affiliation Program Launches!
These are very exciting times here at Adventure Out HQ. As many of you have read in the media this past week, we have officially launched our Affiliation Program. Applications are rolling in, and by the end of 2013, we will be announcing our first 10-15 Adventure Out Satellite locations around the country.
— Read the official press release here —
In short, our guide training program will be pushed out and offered to the public to come learn the nuts and bolts of our programs and business. How do we do it, what are our teaching methodologies, how the business is run, and how we grew to the company we are today with over 30 guides serving over 5000 people per year. Existing outdoor schools with a proven track record, or new guides/schools upon completion of the training course, will then be able to "affiliate" with Adventure Out: they can license the brand name as well as receive business and marketing assistance, client referrals, discount group purchasing power on outdoor gear, liability insurance, and more.
As this program has been gearing up for launch over the last few months, I've been getting one question over and over: "Why? …why would you do this? Why would you serve up all the knowledge and experience you've acquired so that other people can copy your model?".
The answer is quite simple: because I want to, and because I can. Adventure Out has grown to be an amazing organization – it has taken me on a ride and become bigger than me, and bigger than I'd ever imagined. I want to share this with people. I've been getting requests to franchise for years – but that's not what we're about. I don't want to own a hundred outdoor schools across the country, I don't want a percentage of their profits. I want to see people own their own business, control their own program, and be passionate about what they do. I want to give new adventure entrepreneurs the chance to use my knowledge, my teachings, and the lessons of my successes (and failures!) to go out and start amazing new outdoor schools anywhere. I want to form a network of trusted programs, offering a level of top-quality service, and unified by a community, and a brand, known as Adventure Out, that stands for integrity and professionalism in the outdoor industry.
Who's going to join me?

Is Windows 7 as good as Ubuntu 12?
By drrwebber on Jul 20, 2012
Have you made the switch yet, or are thinking about making the switch? If you are a long term Windows user of course this is a daunting proposition, akin to changing jobs and moving house; so much to think about and then what incentive do you have? Then what about all those Windows applications you know and need? More on that shortly.
An external event was the trigger for myself. My Windows XP system crashed with the familiar "blue screen of death" that then unseen had corrupted the disk drive boot sector. Now I had to re-install the whole OS. The machine was already a "dual-boot" Windows/Ubuntu 10, but I'd only been sparingly using Ubuntu to that point. So here was my point of decision, so I thought I would give Ubuntu a second try, with the latest release as I knew it at least is a much faster and easier install.
Once I had recovered the data off the original hard drive Windows partition using an external USB disk mount device; then the next step was installing Ubuntu 12.04 stable release on a new disk drive. Download the Ubuntu ISO CD ROM image from the internet, and burn to CD or USB stick, then boot and install (side note: for full 64 bit Ubuntu use the AMD 64 image - don't use the Intel labelled image - those are only 32bit). The install proceeded smoothly - but if you get stuck there are good help resources just a Google search away - simply follow the pattern "Ubuntu 12.04 {error message}". More side notes - having 8Gig of DRAM in my Dell laptop, I setup a 16Gig swap partition, and used 20Gig for the base root partition size, then allocated the remainder of the new drive (750Gig) to the working home partition. This gives plenty of space, so don't use smaller sizes as it will limit functionality later.
So here is Ubuntu 12 running happily on my Dell laptop, but what about all my desktop applications? The key "go to" applications, Firefox and Chrome web browsers, Thunderbird Email client, Lightning calendaring and more all run natively in Ubuntu and are a simple install from the Software Center Apps library tool in Ubuntu. Similarly for a whole range of other tools, multimedia, videos, graphics and social applications, including Skype. Then you can choose from Open Office and the Libra Office suite, and of course the Cloud suites like Google Docs run seamlessly.
So this only leaves Microsoft Office. For that you will need to download and install the Virtual Box software and then load your Windows 7 boot disk into the virtual box along with then installing your Microsoft Office suite. Side note for Oracle folks internally - download and install the Oracle virtual box tool from the My Desktop center, you can do this via a VPN connection, and then download and install the Oracle OBI image (connect your machine directly to your network router while doing this step).
Once the dust has settled on all this installing comes the moment of truth, how well does this all perform really compared to a native Windows 7 install? In my opinion, the Windows 7 comes in a distant second, so here are some reasons why.
1) Boot speed and stability of the multi-tasking. Ubuntu boots in less than 1 minute from cold, and in less than 15 seconds in warm hibernate, or just 3 seconds from sleep mode. This makes Ubuntu way more flexible and accessible through your working day and travels.
2) The Windows 7 virtual box loads faster - about 3 minutes - than Windows natively booting - which on my other laptop takes a full 10 minutes plus to load. Setting the virtual box to full screen in its own desktop space, you have no idea you are not running Windows natively, except you can instantly toggle to Ubuntu and share files via a networking drive space between My Desktop on Windows and your /Home folder on Ubuntu.
3) What about the drag and drop, cut and paste and all that Windows user interface experience? Yes Ubuntu desktop does all that too; remember the MacOS is from the same OS lineage so you have all the same tools. Plus you have much better multi-tasking and multi-desktop support.
4) Its not just boot speed - its all the applications as well. Ubuntu is significantly faster to load and run applications. And web browsing and applications are similarly much faster. For example my SmartFTP client on Windows takes at least a couple of minutes to load my web site file system from my hosting service provider. In Ubuntu the FTP client is native built-in via the Folders tool and it is instantaneous. Yes, instantaneous; connects, shows me my folders and allows me drag and drop navigation and file management.
5) Productivity - this all adds up to Ubuntu providing you with significantly more productivity on a daily basis. Here's some tips and ideas to install and try.
6) Disk imaging and backups. The lesson learned here is that you need high quality disk images of your base configuration along with backups of your working documents on a daily basis. Here again Ubuntu excels, using the Redo Backup and Recovery tool you can rapidly disk image your basic system, then clone this to another drive. Plus Ubuntu has built-in daily backup services tool that actually work without having to buy third party tools.
The caveat is that this is all not a simple one hour task. Getting everything configured and installed does require a chunk of time, depending on how comfortable you are with installing and setting up your operating system and tools. At the end of the day however, it is very much worth the investment particularly if you are a power computer user who expects more from your computer environment.
Now I'm looking for a high quality "I've made the switch" bumper sticker with a classy Ubuntu graphic logo. I've order my "Powered by Ubuntu" stickers already for the laptop.

MALDEF Event Focuses on Improving Quality of Life in Latino Communities
Representing USDA on a panel at the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund's (MALDEF) Fourth Annual Latino State of the Union in Washington, D.C. was a remarkable experience. The event examined how American public policy affects the Latino community, and assessed how future policy can lead to a better quality of life for Latinos.
While the discussions covered a range of topics important to the Hispanic community, much of conversation was dedicated to how childhood obesity is impacting educational attainment, future talent, and workforce capacity of not just Latinos, but of our entire nation. Read more »

Many of UNDP's relationships with countries and territories on the ground exceed 50 years.
Find details on our successes and ongoing work.
See latest publications below
This publication is designed to support UNDP staff, partners and national stakeholders who wish to advocate for the inclusion of comprehensive constitutional provisions that protect and advance women's human rights and fundamental freedoms.
This report provides an analysis of the status of gender equality in national climate policy in light of the Paris Agreement. It also presents a framework for integrating gender equality into Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) planning and implementation.
This study demonstrates the need for integrated approaches to gender and climate change, and to identify inputs, resources and partnerships.
This issue brief raises awareness of the emerging challenges, as well as opportunities, related to ageing and proposes initial recommendations for addressing them in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
This Guidance Note explores the strategies and good practices used by the UNDP in supporting parliaments in their own promotion of gender equality.
Gender inequality is costing sub-Saharan Africa on average $US95 billion a year, peaking at US$105 billion in 2014– or six percent of the region's GDP – jeopardising the continent's efforts for inclusive human development and economic growth, according to the Africa Human Development Report 2016.
This brochure provides an overview of the Gender Equality Seal for Public and Private Enterprises and explains how gender equality in the workplace benefits women and companies.
This summary details the certification programme process and its advantages for the private sector, governments, and workers. It also lays out a vision for the future: to enhance South-South cooperation and build a network of enterprises for gender equality.
This pamphlet showcases how the Gender Equality Seal is being implemented with UNDP support, adding value to businesses and governments in Latin America
The HIV, Health and Development Strategy 2016-2021: Connecting the Dots elaborates UNDP's work on HIV and health in the context of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
At the heart of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is a commitment "to eradicate poverty everywhere, in all its forms and dimensions by 2030". By adopting Agenda 2030, world leaders moved past poverty reduction and set out to achieve sustainable development that "leaves no one behind".
This Checklist has been developed to support the integration of gender-responsive components into the implementation of HIV programmes supported by the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria (the Global Fund).
These Discussion Paper are intended to support practitioners, civil society and government partners wishing to make the investment case for increased and improved programming that addresses the specific vulnerabilities and needs of both males and females who are affected by or at risk of malaria and TB.
UNDP Strategy: This integrated package of policy support services is designed to support country partners to effectively implement the SDGs and make long-term economic prosperity, human and environmental well-being a reality.
Small Island Developing States (SIDS) are thinking differently, especially when it comes to the ocean.

Love these boots!
"This was my first online shoe purchase & I got exactly what I saw online! The color is what I expected; I'm typically an 8 or 8.5 shoe size and thought I could return them at my local DSW if they didn't fit. I ended up going with the 8.5 and they fit just fine. I am a thin person and my legs are thin as well, so there is a lot of space around the calves but if that doesn't bother you then go for it. I sent a picture to my friends and they all responded back with "HOT"...can't wait to wear them this fall!"

Great work boot
"This is a great shoe if you are looking for a classic work boot. It fit great in the foot, but I think is a little wide up by the calf. However, it makes it a great boot to wear with skinny jeans!"

Something about Arapahoe this season brought out the best in Cherry Creek and Sam Stoveall.
"It's always a tough one, but it's one of my favorite games to play,'' the Creek senior said Friday night after the Bruins completed a season sweep of the Warriors with a 46-43 road victory. "We love playing Arapahoe because they play the same style as us.''
Until this season, it was tough love for Creek. The Warriors – 25-game winners with trips to Class 5A's Final Four each of the last two seasons – took six straight from the Bruins the previous three years.
"We haven't beaten Arapahoe twice since they got in the league (in the 2008-09 season), so that's a real thing,'' said Creek coach Mike Brookhart. "And more importantly, it's a league win.''
It also vaulted Creek (10-7, 5-3) past Arapahoe (12-5, 4-4) into fourth place and a game behind tri-leaders Eaglecrest, Cherokee Trail and Grandview one game into the second half of the Centennial schedule. The seventh-ranked Warriors, who had won three straight before losing to Cherokee Trail and the Bruins this week, will likely fall out of the top 10.
"It's great for our confidence, especially getting them twice because they're a good team and they're going to win more games,'' Stoveall said.
The rematch was every bit as tight as Creek's double-overtime victory on Jan. 9, where Stoveall scored 21 points and hit a game-winning 3-point basket with 15 seconds left. This time, Stoveall scored 20 points – his seventh game in the 20s this season – and was part of a Creek defense that denied Arapahoe a potential game-tying 3-pointer.
Arapahoe rallied from four points down with 3:20 left despite losing center and second-leading scorer Matt Glasscock (6 points) on fouls at the 4:58 mark. Evan Walsh (5 points) and Mitch Albyn (team-high 14) each got the Warriors within a point before Bruins center Graham Pingree (6 points before fouling out late) scored inside to make it 46-43.
Arapahoe missed two 3-pointers, but got a reprieve when Creek's Griffin Parr missed the front end of a one-and-one with 31.9 seconds left and Pingree was called for an offensive foul with 26.6 seconds left after rebounding the missed free throw. But the Bruins' defense hounded Walsh and Brendan Till – Arapahoe's two best 3-point shooters – and Walsh's attempt with Will Bower's hand in his face missed the mark.
"We talked about that,'' Brookhart said. "We knew who was going to shoot.''
Arapahoe often lives or dies by the 3-pointer, and Friday it was the latter. The Warriors shot 2-of-15 (.133) from beyond the arc but were 16-32 on 2's.
"Our halfcourt defense is our strong suit,'' Stoveall said. "We really take pride in it, and it works. That's why we were able to pull it out there at the end.''
"We didn't shoot well tonight against a very good team that played good defense,'' said Arapahoe coach Dan Snyder. "We played really hard and I thought their team played really hard. We just didn't execute enough, and it was a lot of little things. There were some critical plays that we didn't make.''
Arapahoe built the game's biggest lead, 18-13, early in the second quarter, but Creek rallied behind Stoveall to tie it 20-20 before the Warriors took a 24-22 halftime lead.
Creek took the lead for good in the third quarter, with Stoveall scoring seven of his team's 13 points and the Bruins crashing the offensive boards for seven second-chance points in a reversal of the first half when Arapahoe had eight second-chance points.
"We got killed (on the boards) in the first half,'' Stoveall said. "To me, (second-half rebounding) was the main reason we were able to take the lead, because we took away their second possessions.''
Creek also worked its way to the foul line more than Arapahoe, going 11-of-15 to the Warriors' 5-8, much to the chagrin of Snyder.
"I'm really proud of the kids,'' Brookhart said. "I thought we persevered. I though we really handled things down the stretch: we made foul shots, we got the ball to the right kids at the right time. Kids like Quentin Welu (7 points) and Caesar Jones stepped up coming off the bench. And Griffin Parr (7 points) was really, really good. And, obviously, Sam Stoveall.''

|Office of Community
Oriented Policing Services
U.S. Department of Justice
U.S. Newswire July 25, 2001 Wednesday
WASHINGTON, DC – The innovative partnership that the Martinsburg Police Department, West Virginia developed with their local community is highlighted in a new Justice Department publication on community policing. The partnership was developed to engage the Martinsburg community to fight domestic violence. Police – community partnerships are a core component of community policing.
A new report entitled, "Problem-Solving Partnerships: Including the Community for a Change," was recently released by the Justice Department's Office of Community Oriented Policing Services. In this publication, seven police agencies – including the Martinsburg Police Department – were selected from more than 400 agencies across the country. The Justice Department report identifies this successful partnership as a model for other police departments across the nation
The Problem Solving Partnerships report describes how the city partnered with neighboring criminal justice and social service agencies to improve communication and to make training available for agencies providing victim support services. Martinsburg police also were able to consolidate victim and offender data thus getting a more complete view of the problem and minimizing the cases that could slip through the cracks. This strategy has resulted in a 10% increase in offender convictions and a 17% decrease in the number of domestic violence cases that were dismissed.
Promising law enforcement practices of the top seven model cities are posted on the COPS home page at www.cops.usdoj.gov. For more information, please call the COPS office at 202-616-1728.

By COREY BLUEMELStaff Writer
Rhett Roberts, CEO of Redmond Family Businesses, was the final keynote speaker of the Castle Valley Economic Summit. Roberts, who was named the 2004 Small Business Person of the Year by the Small Business Association, began by saying, "The Redmond Salt story is still in the first chapters, we are nowhere near the end of the book."
Roberts related the history of Redmond Minerals, from its beginnings 15 years ago as a road salt supplier to its expansion into the real foods products market. "Who among us said when they were young, 'I want to grow up and be a salt miner'? No one, at least not me. Fifteen years ago I said anything but salt. But the business and the experiences I have had, have been very good.
"Preparation for any business is the key. Opportunity is all around, we have to recognize it and capitalize on it. Do something that is not popular, not mainstream. Do not be a 'me too' person," said Roberts.
Roberts went on to relate the story often told by Russell Conwell, of a farmer who had bigger dreams than farming. The farmer had heard stories of others who were mining diamonds and making a lot of money. He decided to sell his farm and invest the money in exploring and finding diamonds. He dreamed of striking it rich, but that was not to happen. He spent the money from his farm searching, and not finding.
Meanwhile, the man who bought the farm scratched out a living for his family. One day, a visitor to his home asked about a rock that had been placed on the mantle piece of the farmhouse. The visitor was told that the strange rock had been removed from a field on the farm that had been newly cultivated. The visitor turned out to be a diamond expert and notified the farmer that this was one of the largest raw diamonds ever found. In the end the farm became the biggest diamond mine in the world.
Roberts said the moral of the story is to find and mine your own acre of diamonds. "How, you ask? Begin by valuing learning, invest in books. Employees who are encouraged to learn are more productive. Next, compensation. To do well, you must pay well. Give your employees the incentive to strive to do better.
"In the beginning, your hiring practices are very important. Take the time required to find the right person for the job. Sometimes, when we are in the hiring process, it will take months to find the right person with the same goals that our company has.
"Some of the lessons we have learned are: find your own acres of diamonds; believe in yourself; do not let doubt in your ability come into your plans; do something different than anyone else; and don't do whatever you're doing for the money-do it because it's what you want. Learn everything that is being done in your field, and then go beyond that," said Roberts.
As a final thought for the day, Roberts told the group, "It's not what we get in the end, it's what we become in the process."

Talk to him, ask him if he would be willing to just go and sit out-side...take baby steps...maybe it was just this week, has he mentioned any stresses or any incidences at the class?
Do you really want to force or bribe him into loving something?
Has an outside person commented to him a negativity to ballet for boys? I know I would be worried about that happening!
Ask him to draw a picture of his ballet class (art therapy style) and see if you might understand a little more.
This is what happened later on..
We got home, had a snack and when it was time to go, he lay down on the rug and looked angry. He wasn't budging. Finally he said that he didn't want to be picked up early to go to ballet. He was annoyed that he missed the last 15 minutes of school.
I was very annoyed because I specifically explained to him before we signed up (it is until JUNE) that he needed to be sure he liked it, also that I would pick him up early. He was thrilled and radiant during all of the classes. He was totally fine for three weeks with it. So today I told him that if he wouldn't go he would have to spend time alone in his room thinking about it (I needed time away or else I would have been angry).
When I spoke to him he said he still liked ballet, just didn't like missing school for it. So he has agreed to go next week if I don't pick him up early (we will just have to rush and have snack on the way)..
Any other suggestions, thoughts?

MomMom and devoted wife to 3 creatures of delight
i think that it's hard for a 5 yo to understand a 6 month commitment. he enjoyed it for 3 weeks and may be now realizing he'd rather be at school, or at least that it isn't worth leaving school.
so, the 2 of you have conflicting needs. you need to not have your money go down the tube, and he needs to have his needs respected as well. can you think of a way to meet BOTH of your needs? is there a way to get your money back? is there a way to take him to a class at a different time slot? is there a way that he can feel good about leaving school?
i would caution you about sending him to his room to "think about it". you can't control another person's thoughts, let alone a 5 yo. what he may be in there "thinking about" is "mom is angry w/me b/c i can't handle wanting 2 great things" or any other number of other thoughts. if you feel that you need time away from him, explain that YOU need to think about things and go to your own room for a few minutes. modeling what to do when you're angry may better help you accomplish your long=term goals.

Hi there, I agree that most five-year-olds really cannot comprehend the idea of a long-term commitment and if we look at the Gesell Institute framework of where a five-year-old is developmentally, many times they would prefer to be with their mothers and home even over friends, let alone another activity.
I say this with love and with experience, as I certainly have been guilty of signing my younger child , (or even my older child at that age), up for something that she was excited about doing and then she really could have cared less. Every child is different, and it important to meet your child's needs and to also understand where he may be developmentally at this point. It is one thing to be able to discuss and reason about going to an activity with a child who is ten, but quite another thing to try to do this with a five year old.
On the other hand, next week it may be a completely different story and he may be happy to go... Things can change quickly in the life of a small child. Sometimes I think the most peaceful, loving, but matter of fact kind of vibes we can put into the things that are part of our daily lives, the better it all goes and the less to argue about....It becomes less of an emtional battle between you versus your child and more of a "This is just what we do.." with respect for when the child truly is tired, needing a day off, needing connection with you more than the activity or whathave you...
Ah, if none of that resonates with you, please feel free to ignore. I am new to this forum,and still figuring all these little buttons out and such...

Send a Card That Cares to Benefit the Somaly Mam Foundation
There are hundreds of reasons why I love my job at Paper Culture. But up there in the top three is our Cards That Care program, which gives back to organizations that are helping improve the lives of not just the families in our own communities, but the lives of people around the world.
Currently, one of our Cards That Care beneficiaries is the Somaly Mam Foundation. With over two million women and children sold into sexual slavery each year, it is a global crisis that must be stopped. More resources are critically needed to support the rescue and recovery of these young victims. So, as part of our Cards That Care program, we are donating 20 percent of card sales to the Somaly Mam Foundation to help end human trafficking and slavery worldwide.
So when you place your Paper Culture order for holiday photo cards, holiday party invitations or stationery & note cards, simply enter the code SOMALY at check out. Who would have thought that giving back could be so easy?
Remember Somaly Mam this holiday season and then send an extra thoughtful card – one that gives back to help support this worthy cause. It's unimaginable the abuse which affects millions of children and young people around the world, but through organizations such as Somaly Mam, change is possible.

Scott Cullen has a look at fantasy waiver wire pickups heading into the first week of fantasy football playoffs.
Colin Kaepernick, San Francisco (vs. Dolphins) Anyone that is in their fantasy playoffs likely has their quarterback situation settled, but Kaepernick is owned in less than half of TSN leagues and while last week's performance against the Rams wasn't awe-inspiring, Kaepernick has averaged 17.0 fantasy points per game over his three starts, which would be enough to rank 10th among all quarterbacks on a per-game basis. Mix in a Dolphins team that ranks 27th against the pass and it's a reasonable expectation that Kaepernick will be productive this week.
Brandon Weeden, Cleveland (vs. Chiefs) Re-iterating, you probably have an option better than Weeden available to you if you have reached the fantasy playoffs, but Weeden is coming off a 364-yard passing game, the highest total of his rookie year and, while the Chiefs pass defence hasn't been downright terrible, they could be due for a letdown after last week's emotional game.
Others to consider - Jake Locker (at Colts), Nick Foles (at Buccaneers), Russell Wilson (vs. Cardinals)
James Starks, Green Bay (vs. Lions) It's not easy to trust the Green Bay running game, but Starks is playing a more significant role in the last month, rushing for more than 60 yards in three of the last four games. Match him up against a Detroit defence giving up 4.6 yards per carry and there is an opportunity for Starks to make his mark again this week.
Bryce Brown, Philadelphia (at Buccaneers) At this point, it's hard to believe Brown would be available in too many leagues, yet somehow he's still there for nearly one in three TSN leagues. Sure, going up against Tampa Bay's league-best run defence isn't an easy match-up, but with 347 rushing yards in two starts, it's hard to imagine there are too many candidates on the waiver wire with more immediate value than Brown.
Others to consider - Knowshon Moreno (at Raiders), Beanie Wells (at Seahawks), Jonathan Dwyer (vs. Chargers), Montell Owens (at Jets), Vick Ballard (vs. Titans)
Chris Givens (at Bills) In the last two weeks, Givens has 16 catches (on 20 targets) and 207 yards. Early in the season, he was the Rams' deep threat, catching a pass of at least 50 yards in five straight games, but now the rookie out of Wake Forest is becoming a more complete receiver and, with Danny Amendola out, the top target for Rams quarterback Sam Bradford.
Danario Alexander (at Steelers) - Facing Pittsburgh's pass defence is a brutal matchup, but Ike Taylor's injury could leave the Steelers vulnerable and Alexander has been prolific, catching 23 passes for 406 yards and three touchdowns in the last four weeks. He's still available in more than 70% of TSN leagues.
Others to consider - Donnie Avery/T.Y. Hilton (vs. Titans), Josh Gordon (vs. Chiefs), Kendall Wright (at Colts), Golden Tate (vs. Cardinals)
Brandon Myers (vs. Broncos) It's not as though Myers can count on a garbage time drive to the end zone, like last week's, on his way to a 14-catch, 130-yard game against Cleveland, but in his last five games he has 38 catches, 338 yards and four touchdowns. He's available in more than three-quarters of TSN leagues, yet ranks sixth among tight ends with 7.5 fantasy points per game, so if you have the need, Myers can provide some value.
Others to consider - Martellus Bennett (vs. Saints), Dallas clark (vs. Eagles), Dwayne Allen (vs. Ttians)

After The Glass is Designed
We've created an illustration to describe our Lancaster facility.
Here we show a general description of what it takes to get our glass to you.
A Manufacturing
The manufacturing process involves several steps and talented individuals. Controlling the composition of the glass, the heat of the tanks and allocating the correct amount of outside materials is just the beginning.
There are operators, mechanics, specialists and other craftsmen which turn the molten glass into a piece of glassware. They do this with the use of press and blow molds. After the glass is formed it takes its journey down the lehr which cools the glass slowly and relieves stresses in the glass.
There are machinists who work in our plant making new parts and repairing old parts for our machines. There are also mold makers who make molds for the actual glass pieces, they also polish the molds so that the glass comes out shiny.
B Decorating
Screen printing and spraying are used to apply a decoration to the glassware in this department. Once the products are decorated they must pass through a decorating lehr to fire on the decoration. Once it is fired, the decoration becomes a permanent part of the product.
C Selection & Packing Gauges and fitters are used to assure that the customer receives the proper dimensions and capacities.
Member of this department inspect the glassware for quality and appearance. They look at about 250,000 pieces of glassware each day, at speeds of 10-110 pieces per minute. They pack the glassware carefully in cartons, and transport it to storage.

|In response to Re: Can rats enter through toilet?
: Dan:
: I doubt you want to hear this, but a rat appeared in my Mom's toilet one night, awaking her with a splash as, we presume, it fell back in. Now, years later, we laugh about her calling Animal Control in the middle of the night (they couldn't do anything that late) and how she put something heavy on the toilet seat lid to keep it contained. She managed to pour an entire gallon of chlorine bleach into the toilet without lifting the lid, and waited (sleeplessly) for the rest of the night. By morning, when she was sure it was no longer a threat, she lifted the lid to find one very-white rat floating in the water. Wasn't funny at the time, but it makes a great story these days.
: - John Scates
: : I went ahead and intalled the toilet. It works just fine. I flushed it like crazy to encourage the rat to go back to wherever it came from. I also poured a couple of kettles of boiling water down the adjacent bathroom sink drain. The boiling water flowed past the exact spot I saw the rat. I'm trying to give the rat a few subtle hints.
: : My only question is: Is there a problem with having a rat in the waste pipe in my house? I would prefer that it wasn't there, but other than banging on the pipes and pouring boiling water down the drains, is there anything I can do (without harming myself or my family) to get rid of this rat. My 3 year old daughter has a hard time remembering to close the lid on the toilet after she uses it, and the idea of a slimey rat climbing out of a toilet and into my house kind of grosses me out. The idea of lifting the lid and seeing a rat sitting in the bowl also gives me the heebs.
: : Here are some facts about my situation. I live in the suburbs of Washington D.C. I'm on Arlington County's sewer system. There is a residential construction site across the street from me. (Maybe the rat got into the system from an open pipe there.) I have cast iron pipes. Amazingly, the rat had to climb at least 6-7 feet up the inside of a vertical stack of cast iron pipe to get to the horizontal pipe I saw it in. How does it do that? What do rats live on while they are in the pipes? If we stop using our kitchen garbage disposal, will that deny it a food source? I always thought the stories of rats in pipes were the stuff of urban legends or were at least rare. Just how common is it to have rats in your pipes? Are PVC pipes better for keeping rats out, because they are slick inside? Can a rat really climb up out of my toilet? After all, it would appear that the only barrier is a couple inches of water. We have 1.6 gpf toilets, so maybe the narrower traps will keep the rat(s) out.
: : I made the possible mistake of telling my wife about the rat I saw. She's not too happy about it.
: : If you have any advice and/or comments, please let me know.
: : Thanks.
