Everything We Know About Jason Aldean's New Album, '9'
ACM Artist of the Decade Jason Aldean is capping off the 2010s with his aptly titled ninth studio album, 9. In early September, the singer officially announced the new project, and released its leading single, "We Back."
If 9's first release to country radio is any indication, Aldean will continue blending his twangy country vocals with hard rock brawn and hip-hop swagger. As the singer indicates in a press release, his new song is a return to the bangers that first introduced him to fans back in his early days as a rising artist.
Read on to learn what we know so far about 9.
The Title
Long before he plotted his huge Sept. 9, 2019 (9/9/19) announcement, Aldean knew he'd turn to the old Led Zeppelin system of numbering albums once it came time to name his ninth career album.
"Early on I always thought if we ever got to make nine albums, I'm going to call it 9. It was my baseball number growing up, and it's just kind of always been my lucky number," explains Aldean in a press release. "I remember cutting the first album and thinking, 'That's forever away,' and now here we are. I don't know, it's really special we made it this far – so, it's more for me than anybody else – but, it means a lot."
The Release Date
Aldean's ninth album arrives on Nov. 22, upping the hype for a month that began with the Nov. 1 release of fellow decade-defining star Miranda Lambert's Wildcard.
The Record Label
Aldean remains with the label responsible for his previous eight albums, Broken Bow Records.
The Producer
Just like Broken Bow Records, producer Michael Knox is a constant presence in Aldean's career. Knox discovered Aldean and has produced all nine of his albums.
The Album Cover
Aldean's newest album cover captures his usual look and graphic design aesthetic. No need to change what's worked for 15 years, right?
The Single
As mentioned before, Aldean's statement of musical purpose, "We Back," lives up to its name by letting fans know that Aldean and his band continue riding high as genre defiant hitmakers.
"When I came into country music and made my mark, it was with a banger," Aldean adds. "But we haven't put out a lot of that stuff over the last couple years. So we got this song and to me it just says what it says: 'Thought we were gone, but you're wrong – now it's on.'"
The Songs
Three other songs hit digital streaming platforms at the same time as "We Back." "Blame It on You" shows younger whiskey- and tequila-crazed singers how radio country's done; "I Don't Drink Anymore" sees Aldean joining neo-traditionalist artists such as Jon Pardi in celebrating the genre's roots; and snap-along pop-country about hometown memories makes a comeback with "Keeping It Small Town."
On Sept. 27, Aldean revealed that the project has 16 tracks, and that he hopes that every single one packs a punch. "People buy albums with eight songs for 10 bucks now, but with 9, it's like you're getting two whole albums at once," he says in a press release. "I want fans to feel like they're getting more than they bargained for, and I want it to be something they listen to from top to bottom, and never hit skip ... or thumbs down, or whatever."
Some of the songwriters listed in Aldean's album credits will be familiar to many fans. Brantley Gilbert, Morgan Wallen, Jameson Rodgers and Florida Georgia Line's Tyler Hubbard each contributed to a track.
Jason Aldean, 9 Tracklist:
1. "Tattoos and Tequila" (Michael Dulaney, Neil Thrasher)
2. "Blame It on You" (Kurt Allison, John Edwards, Tully Kennedy, Michael Tyler, Brian White)
3. "Champagne Town" (Matt Dragstrem, Josh Thompson)

15. "The Same Way" (Brock Berryhill, Brantley Gilbert, Cole Taylor)
16. "She Likes It" (Jaron Boyer, Ben Stennis, Michael Tyler)
The Tour
Aldean will surely tour heavily for 9, but his first major dates after Nov. 22 represent something way bigger than an album cycle. On Dec. 6-8, he plays Las Vegas as a headliner for the first time since the Oct. 1, 2017 mass shooting at the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival. The Ride All Night Vegas residency will be hosted at Park Theater at Park MGM.
"I've wanted to bring our show back to Vegas for a while now, and the timing feels right," said Aldean in a press release. "We're going to pack up the show, set it up for a couple days and hang out with our Vegas family. I'm looking forward to being back."

… are real, if unappreciated. Chuck
Scary New Wage Data
David Cay Johnston | Oct. 25, 2010 04:35 AM EDT
Now for some really scary breaking news, from the latest payroll tax data.
Every 34th wage earner in America in 2008 went all of 2009 without earning a single dollar, new data from the Social Security Administration show. Total wages, median wages, and average wages all declined, but at the very top, salaries grew more than fivefold.
Not a single news organization reported this data when it was released October 15, searches of Google and the Nexis databases show. Nor did any blog, so the citizen journalists and professional economists did no better than the newsroom pros in reporting this basic information about our economy.
The new data hold important lessons for economic growth and tax policy and take on added meaning when examined in light of tax return data back to 1950.
The story the numbers tell is one of a strengthening economic base with income growing fastest at the bottom until, in 1981, we made an abrupt change in tax and economic policy. Since then the base has fared poorly while huge economic gains piled up at the very top, along with much lower tax burdens.
A weak foundation cannot properly support a massive superstructure, as the leaning Tower of Pisa shows. The latest wage data show the disastrous results some of us warned about, although like the famous tower, the economy only lists badly and has not collapsed.
Measured in 2009 dollars, total wages fell to just above $5.9 trillion, down $215 billion from the previous year. Compared with 2007, when the economy peaked, total wages were down $313 billion or 5 percent in real terms.
The number of Americans with any wages in 2009 fell by more than 4.5 million compared with the previous year. Because the population grew by about 1 percent, the number of idle hands and minds grew by 6 million.
These figures show, far more powerfully than the official unemployment measure known as U3, how both widespread and deep the loss of jobs was in 2009. While the official unemployment rate is just under 10 percent, deeper analysis of the data by economist John Williams at http://www.shadowstats.com shows a real under- and unemployment rate of more than 22 percent.
Balance of article below the line…
Only 150.9 million Americans reported any wage income in 2009. That put us below 2005, when 151.6 million Americans reported wages, and only slightly ahead of 2004, when 149.4 million Americans held at least one paying job.
For those who did find work in 2009, the average wage slipped to $39,269, down $243 or 0.6 percent, compared with the previous year in 2009 dollars.
The median wage declined by the same ratio, down $159 to $26,261, meaning half of all workers made $505 a week or less. Significantly, the 2009 median wage was $37 less than in 2000.
To give this some perspective, from 1992 to 2000 the number of people earning any wages grew by 21 million, but nine years later just 2.8 million more people had any work.
These wage data, based on the Medicare flat tax on all compensation, tell us only about the number of people who earned wages and how much. They tell us nothing about whether these individuals were underemployed, had to work more than one job, earned fringe benefits, or were employed at a level commensurate with their abilities.
But they do give us a stunning picture of what's happening at the very top of the compensation ladder in America.
The number of Americans making $50 million or more, the top income category in the data, fell from 131 in 2008 to 74 last year. But that's only part of the story.
The average wage in this top category increased from $91.2 million in 2008 to an astonishing $518.8 million in 2009. That's nearly $10 million in weekly pay!
You read that right. In the Great Recession year of 2009 (officially just the first half of the year), the average pay of the very highest-income Americans was more than five times their average wages and bonuses in 2008. And even though their numbers shrank by 43 percent, this group's total compensation was 3.2 times larger in 2009 than in 2008, accounting for 0.6 percent of all pay. These 74 people made as much as the 19 million lowest-paid people in America, who constitute one in every eight workers.
Back in 1994, when the top category the government reported on was $20 million or more of compensation, only 25 people were in that rarefied atmosphere, and their average earnings came to just under $45 million in 2009 dollars.
What does this all mean? It is the latest, and in this case quite dramatic, evidence that our economic policies in Washington are undermining the nation as a whole.We have created a tax system that changes continually as politicians manipulate it to extract campaign donations. We have enabled ''free trade'' that is nothing of the sort, but rather tax-subsidized mechanisms that encourage American manufacturers to close their domestic factories, fire workers, and then use cheap labor in China for products they send right back to the United States. This has created enormous downward pressure on wages, and not just for factory workers.
Combined with government policies that have reduced the share of private-sector workers in unions by more than two-thirds — while our competitors in Canada, Europe, and Japan continue to have highly unionized workforces — the net effect has been disastrous for the vast majority of American workers. And of course, less money earned from labor translates into less money to finance the United States of America.
This systematic destruction of the working class and middle class has come during an era notable for celebrating the super-rich just for being super-rich. From the Forbes 400 launch in 1982 and Robin Leach's Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous in 1984 to the faux reality of the multiplying Real Housewives shows, money voyeurism has grown in tandem with stagnant to falling incomes for the vast majority. There has also been huge income growth at the top and the economic children of income inequality: budget deficits and malign neglect of our commonwealth.
This orgy of money exhibitionism has created a society in which commas — it takes three to be a billionaire — count more than character. We have gone so far down this path that we bailed out bankers, allowing them to keep the untaxed wealth in their deferral accounts and, with a few exceptions, retaining shareholder value, while wiping out investors in General Motors and Chrysler as a condition of their bailouts. And while autoworkers had to take severe pay cuts, bonus time on Wall Street is at new record levels.
The American economy in the three decades before Ronald Reagan's election did not produce a mass audience for celebrating wealth. In that era, books that emphasized character sold better than today.
During the years from 1950 to 1980, the share of total income going to those at the top declined, and the real incomes of the vast majority grew much more quickly than did nearly all incomes at the very top.
In those years, America had the money, and vision, to invest in the future through education, research, and infrastructure.
In nearly three decades of Reaganism, however, we have become a society of mine-here-and-now. Now what we hear from Washington is about today, not tomorrow. War without sacrifice (or a congressional declaration). Savings without interest. More government services while lowering taxes.
In this era, the incomes of the vast majority have barely grown while incomes at the top have soared. Reaganism has trimmed the base of the income ladder while placing a much heavier weight on the top. Narrowing the base while adding weight to the apex does not make a stable structure. Here are some numbers that may surprise those ages 50 and under, taken from the latest analysis of tax return data by Emmanuel Saez and Thomas Piketty, who have won worldwide praise for their groundbreaking work examining changes in income distribution:
1950 | 64.44 percent |
1980 | 65.37 percent |
Change | +0.93 percentage points increase |
2008 Change | 51.77 percent |
Since 1980 | -13.59 percentage points decrease |
So a three-decade era in which the bottom 90 percent increased their share of all income slightly was followed by a 28-year period at whose end income had fallen sharply. The 2009 data show that it has only gotten worse since then.
While the vast majority must get by on a much smaller share of the national income pie, the re-slicing resulted in concentrated benefits at the top. The top 10 percent enjoyed a nearly 40 percent increase in their share of the income pie. But within the top 10 percent, the re-slicing of the income pie between 1980 and 2008 was also heavily weighted to the top.
Those in the 90th to 95th percentile income category saw their income share rise by just 0.24 percentage points. The 95th to 99th income category got 2.43 percentage points more slice of the national income pie.
That means that of the 13.59 percentage points of increased pie going to the top 10 percent of Americans, the top 1 percent earned almost 11 percentage points of it. Now look at how the pie was sliced within the top 1 percent:
in 2008 Over 1980 for Top 1% of Earners
99 to
99.5 |
99.5 to
99.9 |
99.9 to
99.99 |
99.99 to
100 |
Notice that as you move to the right, the numbers of taxpayers shrink, but the percentage points grow. The theme: more and more for fewer and fewer.
Income shares tell us about how groups are doing relative to one another. But you can't spend income shares, so let's look at incomes.
From 1950 to 1980, the average income of the bottom 90 percent grew tremendously. Not so since then:
Had income growth from 1950 to 1980 continued at the same rate for the next 28 years, the average income of the bottom 90 percent in 2008 would have been 68 percent higher, instead of just 1 percent more.
That would have meant an average income for the vast majority of $52,051, or $21,110 more than actual 2008 incomes. How different America would be today if the typical family had $406 more each week — less debt, more savings, and more consumption.
So how about the top? This is where the changes in incomes in these two eras become interesting, very interesting.
What the figures below show is that the closer you got to the top of the ladder in the era from 1950 to 1980, the smaller your relative increase in income, except for the very top, whose gains were slightly more than those of the bottom 90 percent. Since 1980, however, the bottom 90 percent of Americans have seen their incomes go nowhere, while on the highest steps of the income ladder, the further up you are, the greater your gains.
Add in today's decreased number of jobs, and all these data add up to policies that can be described with one word: failed.

Pakistan has requested Saudi Arabia to urgently provide $3 billion in cash after its foreign exchange reserves fell to a critically low level. During his maiden visit to the country, the country's army chief is expected to play a role in bagging the bailout. The Express Tribune reported that Pakistan Finance Minister Ishaq Dar made the request to Saudi ambassador Nawaf bin Said Al-Malki.
On the second consecutive day, the finance minister met with foreign diplomats in an effort to secure their financial support and influence the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to release its $1.2 billion tranche. Dar's request for the $3 billion bailout was over and above the previous debt rollover. As the country's foreign exchange reserves have fallen below $7 billion for the first time since January 2019, there is an urgency to the matter.
At present, the reserves total about $6.7 billion, which is almost the same amount as on January 18, 2019. According to sources, the $6.7 billion reserves will not suffice to cover the $8.8 billion principal and interest payments in January-March. During the meeting, it was also discussed that the new Chief of Army Staff, General Asim Munir, would soon visit the kingdom. Following the meeting, the military leadership was also expected to address the issue of cash injections.

VICC named to proteomic cancer research consortium
A team of Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center scientists, led by Daniel Liebler, Ph.D., professor of Biochemistry, Biomedical Informatics and Pharmacology, has been selected to participate in the Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC), a multi-center cancer research program created by the National Cancer Institute (NCI).
Liebler will lead the Vanderbilt Proteome Characterization Center, one of five academic centers focused on characterizing the proteins and proteomes of human cancers in an effort to develop reliable blood tests that could lead to earlier detection and improved treatments for cancer.
Vanderbilt will receive about $7.8 million over three years to help support the research.
The NCI created the CPTAC research consortium to accelerate the understanding of cancer through the use of quantitative proteomic technologies. Liebler led the Vanderbilt program during a previous five-year program to evaluate and standardize proteomic technology platforms. The new CPTAC consortium will systematically characterize the proteomes linked to alterations in cancer genomes.
The CPTAC consortium will partner with the NCI Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) initiative, which is analyzing the genomes of human cancers.
The CPTAC network will analyze the same tumor specimens studied by the TCGA network and generate proteomic data to match the genomic information.
As with the TCGA data, all data created by the CPTAC network will be made available to the public.
"We are delighted to be part of this second phase of the CPTAC program, which builds on the work we did to improve and standardize proteomic technology platforms," said Liebler, who is an Ingram Professor of Cancer Research.
"The most exciting opportunity here is to provide proteomic data to help us understand how cancer-related genomic characteristics translate to the behavior of the disease. This work will expand our understanding of how specific gene abnormalities affect individual tumors and will broaden the application of genomics to personalized medicine."
Bing Zhang, Ph.D., assistant professor of Biomedical Informatics and Cancer Biology, and David Tabb, Ph.D., associate professor of Biomedical Informatics and Biochemistry, will play an integral role in developing the computational tools to integrate the genomic and proteomic data so that investigators can understand cancers at a systems level.
Liebler said the research infrastructure developed by the Jim Ayers Institute for Precancer Detection and Diagnosis at Vanderbilt contributed to the VICC team's success in the NCI consortium.
As director of the Ayers Institute, Liebler has been a leader in the effort to standardize proteomic research protocols.

Following up on the Ogden Memo, I decided to post the "Cole Memo" below:
FROM: James M. Cole
Deputy Attorney General
SUBJECT: Guidance Regarding the Ogden Memo in Jurisdictions
Seeking to Authorize Marijuana for Medical Use
Over the last several months some of you have requested the Department's assistance in responding to inquiries from State and local governments seeking guidance about the Department's position on enforcement of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) in jurisdictions that have under consideration, or have implemented, legislation that would sanction and regulate the commercial cultivation and distribution ofmarijuana purportedly for medical use. Some of these jurisdictions have considered approving the cultivation of large quantities of marijuana, or broadening the regulation and taxation of the substance. You may have seen letters responding to these inquiries by several United States Attorneys. Those letters are entirely consistent with the October 2009 memorandum issued by Deputy Attorney General David Ogden to federal prosecutors in States that have enacted laws authorizing the medical use of marijuana (the "Ogden Memo").
The Department ofJustice is committed to the enforcement ofthe Controlled Substances Act in all States. Congress has determined that marijuana is a dangerous drug and that the illegal distribution and sale of marijuana is a serious crime that provides a significant source of revenue to large scale criminal enterprises, gangs, and cartels. The Ogden Memorandum provides guidance to you in deploying your resources to enforce the CSA as part of the exercise of the broad discretion you are given to address federal criminal matters within your districts.

Photographed by the historical Wrigley Building in downtown Chicago on Michigan Avenue and Chicago River. The Wrigley Building is a Chicago original designed by Graham, Anderson, Probst & White and is the gateway between Michigan Avenue, the Loop and River North. Standing at 425 feet tall it's using the shape of the Giralda tower of Seville's Cathedral combined with French Renaissance details and is one of Bart's favorite spots to take his couples for engagement and wedding portraits. Its unique architecture allows it to be photographed from different angles and at different times of day. Its white terracotta walls and rich in detail golden doors serve as unique and timeless background for portrait sessions. Since a lot of Bart's clients are of European descent (Greek and Italian) and Bart being European himself it makes for a perfect spot to add the cultural element to his photography. What makes this spot even more attractive is its close proximity to Bart's other favorite spots, like the Michigan Avenue intersection, Chicago River Walk and Trump Tower columns.
Engagement session is a big part of the wedding photography coverage. It creates memorable and beautiful images of the couple that can be used, among other things, for the save the date cards and display prints at the wedding. It also serves as a great way of getting to know the photographer who on the other hand will learn about couple's personalities, likes and dislikes. After all, just like the bridal party, the photographer will be with the couple for the majority of their wedding day.
This engagement image was taken with Bart's favorite, newest edition, Nikon 70-200mm 2.8E FL ED VR lens on a D4 body. Delicate amount of light was added from the left to create more dimension as the ambient light was becoming too flat and murky due to late afternoon hours.

COLUMBUS, Oh. — As millions of children return to school and to their favorite sports, researchers at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center suggest parents encourage youngsters to consider more than one activity to avoid injuries and, surprisingly, unwanted weight gain.
While many kids choose to play only one sport in hopes of gaining an edge on the competition and improving their chances of future success, Tim Hewett, director of research at Ohio State University Sports Medicine, said that strategy comes with the risk of negative long-term effects.
"You could call it the Tiger Woods syndrome," Hewett said. "Young athletes feel like they have to play a single sport and they have to play it year round."
After following more than 500 athletes for more than a decade, Hewett and his Ohio State team found that single-sport athletes had a 50 percent higher risk of knee injury. He said part of the problem is repetition – doing the same motions year after year can wear out bones and joints.
In addition, if a one-sport athlete did suffer a knee injury, they were also more likely to struggle with weight gain, often for years. In the case of young girls who play one sport and injure a knee, the study (funded by the National Institutes of Health and published in the British Journal of Medicine in May) found that their risk of long-term obesity increases 33 percent.
"Even when we follow them over multiple years, they tend to retain the weight gain," Hewett said.
He recommends playing more than one sport to help build core strength and balance several muscle groups. This prevents the same muscles from being used consistently more than others.
"A diversity of activity is going to promote balance within your neuromuscular system," Hewett said. "You're going to be able to be proficient and excel at multiple tasks."

The most common form of malnutrition in pets in the UK is the overconsumption of calories leading to obesity.
It is estimated that between 39 and 52 per cent of cats in the UK are overweight or obese.
'Obese' cats are those that are at least 20 per cent heavier than the optimal weight due to excessive fat accumulation.
A cat is 'overweight' if it is 10 to 19 per cent heavier than the optimal weight. Ideally, cats should be fed to maintain their optimal bodyweight. Long-term studies have shown that both obesity and excessive thinness shorten life expectancy.
Assessment of body condition
Bodyweight can be used to assess whether or not a cat has gained or lost weight. However, dictating a weight which is ideal depends on the age and breed of the cat. Therefore, a scale assessing the body condition (body condition score, BCS) is often used.
This scale grades the body condition of the cat from 1-5, where a BCS of 1 is very thin, 3 is ideal and 5 is obese. An obese cat is one in which the ribs are hard to feel as they are covered by a thick layer of fat, there is a moderate to thick layer of fat covering all the bony prominences, and the cat has a pendulous 'skirt' (bulge under the abdomen), with no waist.
The chart below is a useful way to assess your cat's body condition, together with its overall muscle condition.
Health risks in obesity
Obesity increases the risks of the development, or the progression, of many diseases (see below).
Disorders for which obesity is a risk factor | Possible complications of obesity |
Diabetes mellitus | Increased anaesthetic risk |
Lower urinary tract disease (cystitis, etc) | Decreased immune function |
Joint stress and aggravation of osteoarthritis | Dystocia (problems giving birth) |
Non-allergic skin diseases | Breathing problems ('Pickwicklan' syndrome) |
Hepatic lipidosis (fat deposited in the liver) | |
Decreased stamina and excercise tolerance |
Risks for development of obesity
Weight gain occurs when cats have a 'positive energy balance' for an extended period of time, meaning they are taking in more calories than they are using. The excess energy is stored as fat. In most instances the body is able to regulate energy intake so it matches energy use, maintaining the body condition around its 'set point'. However, certain factors can affect this set point and predispose the cat to weight gain.
Purebred cats are less likely to develop obesity than moggies. Neutered cats tend to gain weight more easily than entire animals. When a cat is neutered, the metabolic rate decreases by about 20 per cent so neutered cats require less food than intact cats to maintain body condition. Activity can contribute markedly to the energy requirements of an individual. Cats with decreased activity or restricted opportunities for exercise are at a greater risk of gaining weight than active cats. Intact cats have a tendency to roam. Neutering reduces the desire to roam and the amount of physical activity undertaken by the cat declines.
The age of the cat has also been related to the prevalence of obesity. Cats under 2 years of age are less likely to be overweight, whereas cats between 2 and 10 years require less energy and are, therefore, more likely to be overweight. Senior and geriatric cats (cats of over 10 years of age) tend to be underweight.
Feeding a diet that is very palatable and energy dense predisposes cats to overeating and encourages obesity, especially if such foods are available freely or used excessively as 'treats'. In addition, there are certain medications that can predispose to weight gain, either by increasing the appetite or decreasing the metabolic rate. Drugs commonly associated with weight gain include corticosteroids (such as prednisolone), amytripyline and cyproheptidine.
Treatment of obesity
It is dangerous for cats to lose weight too quickly because this predisposes them to the development of hepatic lipidosis, a potentially fatal liver disease whereby fat is deposited within the liver as a result of a change in metabolism during fasting. A gradual, steady decrease in bodyweight is ideal; it may take up to a year for a severely overweight cat to reach its ideal body condition. A veterinary surgeon can draw up a weight loss programme that combines a suitable feeding and exercise plan with careful monitoring. It is very hard to see weight loss in a cat that you are in close contact with on a daily basis. Regular visits to a veterinary surgeon for weigh-ins will also ensure that weight loss is not too rapid.
Cats are carnivores and, unlike humans and dogs, they must have meat in their diet to survive. A cat's natural diet consisting of small prey mammals would be high in protein and low in carbohydrate. In order for cats to lose weight, veterinary diets have been designed which are high in protein, low in fat and low in carbohydrate. This helps cats to lose fat whilst maintaining lean body mass (ie, muscle).
For advice on introducing a new diet click here.
In addition to a suitable diet, cats can be encouraged to exercise either through increasing play, or by encouraging movement around the house (walking up and down stairs either by using a pet harness or by moving feeding bowls etc).
Puzzle feeders have also been found to enhance physical and emotional wellbeing. More information on puzzle feeders can be found here.
Maintaining optimal condition
Once a cat has reached its target weight, it may be preferable to feed a 'light' or low calorie food. These diets are designed for the less active feline and do not contain as many calories as the normal maintenance foods. While it is hard to see weight loss in a cat that you are watching every day, it is equally difficult to see the early stages of weight gain. Regular weight checks should be continued to ensure that the fat doesn't start to creep back on.

It's no secret that Van Full of Candy is a supporter of hot teachers. It's a brave, bold stance that we have long taken when ever a poor, misunderstood educator is arrested for doing things that we wish had been done to us in school. Of course we couldn't possibly defend EVERY apple polishing head mistress every time we heard about another one getting carted away. That would become a full time job, a naughty, dirty, naughty, sexy, naughty full time job. Don't get us wrong now, we fully understand that people being charged with the task of learnin' yer kids should not be engaging in the befouling of the under aged. That's wrong in almost every state, and to varying degrees depending on posted age limits in the other blue, orange and green shaded globe blobs that we are told are "other countries". Which is why today's attack on sexy teachers has us in such a tizzy.
Brittni Nicole Colleps is a small town Texas girl, a first year English teacher and coach of the Freshman girls' basketball team– Hey! No silly, pull those pants back up, I didn't just read that out of a letter to Penthouse, this is fer realzies. Not to imply that Penthouse letters' authenticity should ever be questioned, I'm not saying that. Each and ever account of steamy escapades reported in that fine publication of note is rigorously fact checked by hand. That is my guarantee to you, the reader.
So Mrs. Colleps teaches Englishes and Basketballery at Kennedale High, a suburban North Texas school near Arlington. She is a mother of three and is married to a no doubt very brave fighting man serving over seas. And when she's not stressing verb conjugation or an ankle crackin' cross over, she likes to have as many students as she can count on one hand over for a nice, fun and informative "after school special". Now before you get all indignant and finger pointy at us and our condoning of this horrible crime against children, let me tell YOU a little something. Each of these five students with which Mrs. Colleps is alleged to have simultaneously banged were all 18 years of age. So there, don't you feel silly for assuming the worst in this story of teacher student group sexcapades!
So then the natural question is, "Crime wha huh?" That's certainly what came to MY mind somewhere deep in the list of things that came to mind when first hearing about this story. Usually it goes without saying that a teacher/student romance is bound to somehow involve underagedy. But it seems that proper carding was done in this case and no harm no foul, you're free to go Mrs. Colleps, we'll just keep these texted pictures and the camera phone video footage we found on one of the boy's pocket telephonic devices, you know, for safe keeping and we apologize for any misunderstanding. There was no crime committed here. This was simply good natured hi-jinx between six consenting adults. This is only a crime because the law says it's a crime. Which I guess makes it a crime…
It seems in Texas, as well as probably a few other places that I'm too lazy to research, even if your students are all sumptuous and otherwise legal in the eyes of god and whom ever, if you're teaching them either the fundamentals of the English language or of a sound bounce pass, you are not allowed to also guide them in the ways of love and the making thereof. So while I'm sure Mrs. Colleps thought she had all her bases covered, making extra special sure that all of her starting lineup of hot senior studs was all of legal humping age so as not to run into any potential snags that might result in her soldier husband or their three offspring learning of her need for a pentagon of dong, unfortunately Texas forbids teachers from taking home school supplies.
But let's be fair to the lovely Mrs. Colleps, she's teaching in a school in Kennedale, a town of 7300. The school itself has a sexy, orgy worthy student body of 3200. She's new in a town where almost 40% of the population goes to where she works and her husband is off selfishly fighting in some kind of war or another. She has needs, she apparently has LOTS of needs. What is this poor woman supposed to do!?
Sadly, it seems that this love story ends as most do, in jealousy. You see, when you exchange dirty text messages and swap digital photography of your genitalia with another individual, you expect that you have a special connection with those genitals. That's what Mrs. Colleps' first boy seemed to believe. After what history books would no doubt declare the most romantic courtship in the history of recorded time, Mrs. Colleps allegedly invited her young, BUT NOT TOO YOUNG, suitor to her home where they got to see first hand, what the small screens of their phones had only hinted at. They made love, mad, passionate love, which in another text Brittni (I feel she would want me to call her Brittni, even if I hate that she spells it with an "i" at the end which, for an English teacher I feel hurts her credibility just a little) said they "had fun" and invited him back for another round of hide the ruler. But when her one and only shower up this time, he found that he was going to be waiting in line and apparently that hurt his little feelings. So rather than sharing, which all of us should have learned at some point in our lives, this sobbing little baby had to ruin it for everybody!
I feel like at this point I need to reiterate that I am in no way condoning anyone's actions in this act of love, I am merely discondoning the selfish actions of one individual. And now this caring, GIVING, young lady is being charged with five counts of having an inappropriate relationship between a student and teacher, a second degree felony and is facing between two to twenty years per count! Is this really a punishment befitting this "crime". Especially when this supposed crime is, in the opinion of this non-lawyer, fucking bullshit. The only crime here is loving too much, and if that's a crime then you can lock me up in a cell with Mrs. Colleps, a camera phone and four of our best friends who have a better working understanding of what a good thing they've got and we can be criminals together.
The defense rests, in between sessions of committing more of these heinous "crimes"!

Pet ownership is more than just a privilege – it is a responsibility. While pet owners spend ample time and money purchasing elaborate outfits, accessories and toys for their pets, what truly matters is when owners take the initiative to install healthy habits and routines that enhance their pets' lives.
Across America, veterinarians have witnessed a decline in annual vet visits, resulting in increased rates of preventable diseases in both cats and dogs. In fact, about 54 percent of the nation's cats and dogs are reported to be obese. As a result, diabetes, heart disease and arthritis are on the rise – diseases that are preventable if identified early on.
"Many pet owners are too busy or just skip annual checkups," says Ron DeHaven, DVM and chairman for Partners for Healthy Pets, a committee of the non-profit American Veterinary Medical Foundation that was created to ensure that pets receive preventive health care. "That's why we have seen an increase in preventable diseases in cats and dogs. What we need to be sure pet owners realize is that annual veterinary checkups are as important as food and love to a pet's health and well-being."
By committing your pet to a healthy routine, you can do your part to ensure they live the happiest, longest life possible. If you want the best for your pet, forget the chevron-striped collar this year and instead focus on these simple tips:
Schedule annual checkups
No one knows your pet as well as you do, but veterinarians are trained to detect diseases before they become costly issues for both you and your pet. Make it a habit to schedule an annual checkup for your pet every year, using your pet's birthday or adoption date as a reminder. There is no better gift you can give to your pet than a long, healthy life and annual checkups are an easy way to ensure your pet is receiving preventive care on a regular basis.
Provide a proper diet
You love your pet and your pet loves treats, but feeding your pet an excessive amount of food and spoiling them with treats can lead to rapid weight gain. If you are not sure how much you should be feeding your pet, consult your veterinarian. Simple dietary swap-outs can help your pet maintain a healthy weight and decrease the chances of developing health complications.
Exercise regularly
It seems like a simple thing to remember. However, busy schedules and daily stresses often cause people to either forget to exercise their pet or move it to the bottom of the to-do list. Commit yourself and your pet to a consistent exercise routine. Only have 10 minutes to take Spot to the park? That's OK too. Small intervals of exercise each day can make a world of difference long-term.
Offer love and affection
Anyone who has loved a pet can testify to the relationship's emotional benefits. The warm welcome you receive at the front door after a long day at work, the wagging tail you hear as you prepare your pet's dinner and the head nestled in your lap each night as you watch the news are only some of the rewards of being a dog owner. It is important to reciprocate this love even in small ways, such as a quick scratch behind the ears or tossing a tennis ball around the back yard. Caring for your pet with enduring love and affection will bring you happiness and help enhance your morale daily.

The Who by Numbers pretends to be a series of ten unconnected songs, it's really only a pose; there's not a story line here, but there are more important unities — lyrical themes, musical and production style, a sense of time and place.
Townshend has now pulled the fastest one of all, disguising his best concept album as a mere ten-track throwaway.– Dave March (Rolling Stone Magazine, 1975)
The Who by Numbers is the seventh studio album by The Who, released on 3 October 1975 in the United Kingdom through Polydor Records, and on 25 October 1975 in the United States by MCA Records.
"There's no easy way to be free."
– Pete Townshend (Slip Kid)
This is Pete Townshend's journal, his confessions about drinking, women and his other ordeals in life (+ one great song from John Entwistle, Success Story). I like this record a lot, it stands out as a bit different in The Who's discography, but it has great tunes and an intimate quality. No anthems this time, but great anyway. Some critics saw it as Townshend's "suicide note" at the time.
"It's a song I made the night I stopped drinking" (Pete Townshend):

Pegi Young Dies at 66 After Cancer Battle
Musician and activist Pegi Young died of cancer yesterday at the age of 66, a post on her official Facebook page confirms.
"With great sadness, we confirm that on January 1st, after a yearlong battle with cancer, Pegi Young – mother, grandmother, sister, auntie, musician, activist and co-founder of the Bridge School – passed away surrounded by her friends and family in her native California," according to the statement. "We request that the families' privacy be respected at this time."
Born Margaret Morton on Dec. 1, 1952, Young released five albums over her decade-long recording career. She also provided background vocals on numerous albums and tours with her ex-husband Neil Young, whom she married in 1978 and divorced in 2014.
In 1986, Young co-founded the Bridge School, which is dedicated to educating children with severe speech and physical impairments. She was inspired to do so after being unable to find a suitable educational plan for the couple's son Ben, who was born with cerebral palsy.
"It's grown way behind my expectations," Pegi said of the school in 2017. "It's having a global impact. That was my dream, but to actually be realizing it is huge." The Youngs hosted a star-studded Bridge School Benefit concert to raise money to fund the school every year except one between 1986 and 2016; artists as diverse as Metallica, Elvis Costello and Pearl Jam appeared.
Understandably, many of the lyrics on 2017's Raw, Pegi Young's last album, dealt with the fallout from her divorce. "I'm certainly not the only one to go through a late-in-life divorce, and I'm not going to be the last. But in my case, it was so painful because we'd been together for so long," she said at the time. One of the tracks was titled "You Won't Take My Laugh Away From Me," and it ends with the sound of her actually cracking up. "My laugh has always been rather distinctive," Pegi explained. "It's something I can hold on to that's still mine."

The wrong day to wear the Anthropologie tank top. |
On Saturday as Owen and I were leaving for the cob oven-building workshop, my husband said, "I hope it isn't too much fun. I really don't want you to build an oven in our yard."
He said it kindly. I think he knows he's playing a thankless but necessary role in the sitcom of our marriage. I think he deserves an Emmy.
The workshop was held in a mysterious new art/garden/sustainable living center a mile from our house. I don't understand the business plan at all, but they now have a fabulous new oven courtesy of our workshop. Is that the business plan? People pay for workshops in which they build the center's infrastructure? Shrewd! In a few days the clay will be dry, they'll scoop out the sand, coat it with plaster, fire up the oven to 800 degrees F, and start baking phenomenal pizzas.
The plank-topped platform in back is what we started with. |
As to the oven, "cob" is the old English word for durable, sustainable earthen material that was once widely used in construction. I dislike the word "cob." I don't know why. What to call a cob oven if you dislike the word "cob?" "Earth" sounds sanctimonious. "Mud" sounds dumpy. Clay?
In any case, we mixed a lot of cob, stomping to a Pandora station that played folksy songs in Spanish.
Owen and some other cats mixing cob. |
We made a round, hollow base for the oven that we filled with empty Jim Beam and kombucha bottles.
I dutifully opened a bottle of wine last night to use in our oven. |
Over the brick floor, we mounded a dome of damp sand.
We smoothed it out a lot after this photo was taken. |
Somehow, by the end of the day, we had this.
Just like my mother, Owen has a passion for clay. |
There are many, many details I couldn't write down because my hands were covered with cob and just a day later I can't remember them. What ratio of sand to clay for the base? For the dome? How much? Mix it until its the texture of oatmeal? Or a milkshake? Etc. I wish I had a recipe, but I guess I'll figure it out as we go along. I have a lot of regular work this week, but Owen and I are going to forge ahead, try to get something done on the oven, however small, every day.

The Light from the TV Shows: 12 Shows to Look Forward to in 2012
Just as 2011 is sure to end in a few days, 2012 is equally likely to follow on its heels, which means that the January TCA tour is right around the corner. As such, yours truly is about to be bombarded with the best and worst that the midseason has to offer…and, fortunately, there's a lot more of the former than the latter. Indeed, there are a couple of shows that the broadcast networks have been unjustly sitting on for almost six months, even though they're a damned sight better than most of the dreck we got back in September. (Stand up, please, "The Playboy Club." Or, you know, pick the program of your choice. That one's just easiest 'cause it was the first to go.) Much as last week found me offering up 11 shows, give or take, that I was sorry to bid adieu to in 2011, this week I've pulled together a list of 12 shows that I'm looking forward to checking out in 2012. Keep in mind, however, that I'm basing my excitement either on a rough cut of a pilot or, in some cases, merely on the hopefulness I get when I read about the show. Yes, this does often come back to bite me in the ass, but such is the life of a TV critic. If I'm wrong, I'll roll with the punches. In the meantime, though, these are my personal picks for what's looking good in the new year…
So sayeth the network: Based on the best-selling novel by world-renowned author John Grisham, "The Firm" is a new drama series that continues the story of attorney Mitchell McDeere (Josh Lucas), who, as a young associate 10 years earlier, had brought down the prestigious Memphis law firm of Bendini, Lambert & Locke, which had been operating as a front for the Chicago mob. After a difficult decade, which included a stay in the Federal Witness Protection Program, McDeere and his family now emerge from isolation to reclaim their lives and their future — only to find that past dangers are still lurking and new threats are everywhere. Abby McDeere (Molly Parker), Mitch's supportive, smart and resourceful wife, who had helped her husband expose Bendini, Lambert & Locke, is excited to start a new life in Washington, D.C., as a school teacher and mom to their daughter, Claire (Natasha Calis). Ray McDeere (Callum Keith Rennie) is Mitch's charming, yet volatile, older brother whose work as an investigator in Mitch's office is uniquely informed by his past stretch in prison for manslaughter. Despite a gritty past that stands in stark contrast to that of his Harvard-grad brother, Ray shares one key quality with Mitch – a loyalty that is unbreakable. Tammy Hemphill (Juliette Lewis) is Mitch's feisty, sexy receptionist whose work life is made all the more tumultuous by her on-again, off-again relationship with Ray. With a personality as arresting as her ever-changing hair color, Tammy is leery when Mitch accepts a deal to partner with a top law practice, as she's not cut out for the conservative culture of a white-shoe firm.
My take: I literally only just got the pilot episode this morning, so I haven't had a chance to check it out yet, but the combination of Lucas, Parker, and Lewis has me very intrigued, and the fact that Grisham himself is part of the mix makes me hopeful about the possibilities of where this series could go if it's given the chance. That's a big "if," though, because this isn't the first time a Grisham novel has made the jump to the small screen. Anyone remember "The Client," with JoBeth Williams and John Heard? It's become so obscure that there's neither a Wikipedia page for it nor even a clip from it on YouTube. Let's hope "The Firm" gets a better go of it than that.

text: The Sebile Puncher is a suspending minnow bait that is super versatile whether cast and retrieved, twitched, or jerked. Available in 5 sizes, the Sebile Puncher features a balanced design that works with treble hooks and single hooks while the belly hook that rotates 360 degrees prevents fish from throwing the bait. The Silent Puncher is your go to suspending bait for shallow to medium depth waters. Pick up the right hooks based on regulations or fish activity. If fish are active, single hooks are working great; when bites are finicky, treble hook gives a higher hooking ratio. When large fish feed on small preys, go with the single hooks.

We live in a world of instantaneous sharing, a constant present where photos go up on Facebook or Twitter or Instagram the minute they're taken, where events are live streamed and live tweeted, where instant pundits make comments on what's happening right now, with tongue in cheek, or, all too often, foot in mouth. In the analog era, photographs and commentary were never about the right now. There was always enough delay built into the process that at best they were about the freshly recalled past.
I really like having a delay. Art needs time to ripen inside the artist before it is shared. I am always drawing upon my archive, finishing work years after it was begun, finding fresh gems that have lain buried for a while.
For those of us in the Northeastern U. S., the winter of 2013-14 was more than usually harsh. Heavy snowfall was followed by frigid temperatures that turned the accumulation into rock-hard ice, which was layered over by more snow, and so on, for three solid months. Heavy weather conditions often inspire me photographically, and this past winter was no different. But had I shared these shots of my arctic muse at the time, they would simply have reinforced the viewers' ongoing misery. Now that we are safely into the season of sunshine and green growth we can look back at images of winter with an appreciation born of detachment.
This kind of detachment, this waiting to ripen, this separation between impulse and response, is vital to art. Let us not lose it in the roaring noise of the current.
Throughout the months of January and February, the crosswalk near my home was blocked by a huge pile of plowed-up snow, melted a bit, refrozen and enlarged by cumulative precipitation. I passed it every day. Like Monet's haystacks, it was a shapeless pile of matter that revealed the mercurial qualities of light.
Snow is a great special effect for nocturnal photography, as it reflects and magnifies every kind of light. Dark pavement swallows a lot of the color, but white snow makes all the varied hues of night sing harmony.
Being covered or partially buried makes sculptural abstractions of everyday objects.
Snow adds nature's chaos to the designed and built environment, mountain ranges among the towers and boxes of glass.
White snow makes an ideal screen for dramatic shadows to be projected.
At night and twilight, the colors can be downright psychedelic. These are straight photos – no color manipulation or hypersaturation, very close to the effects I saw with my own eyes.
By the beginning of March, nothing was left but filthy remnants, tattered scraps, the diminishing cores of what had recently seemed mighty glaciers.
Spring arrived as crisp clear sunlight, last year's foliage stripped and bleached, the ground saturated by snowmelt, ready for new life to burst forth.

No Kewpies. An 'All In Good Taste' lamington.
I find that as I get older I become less and less excited about new and unusual sounding flavour combinations, in much the same way that I grow less and less tolerant of cheap bin liners, but the world keeps throwing them out at me regardless.
We do not need mackerel flavoured macarons (scroll down and for God's sake, someone please tell them in Brittany!), foie gras flavoured ice-cream (you know, I love SF, but for this, I hate it) or azuki frappuccino ('Taste the daydream'? Taste the sick more like...). We do not and never have. So why are they being produced then? It is a mystery worthy of Holmes and Watson.
I can say though, no word of a lie, that today's lamington recipe is a thing of great beauty and deliciousness. I know this having eaten one mere moments ago, but can offer further evidence in support of the combination of white chocolate and rosemary, though it is anecdotal since I never posted the cake to which I shall now refer; you must believe me. I implore you.
Last Summer I made an apple and rosemary loaf cake and topped it with white chocolate cream cheese frosting. The one from this cake. And it was killer. We ate the lot. I meant to re-bake it and post it, but life got in the way. I did take something away from the experience though, and that was that my favourite flavour pairing in the cake was not the rosemary and apple, but the rosemary and white chocolate. It just worked.
These lamingtons are a little different to that original cake. Obviously, there's no apple included, but I have also added the herb to the icing (well, coating), rather than the cake. It's quite a lot stronger this way (and rather surprising as well, because you can't actually see the flecks of rosemary in there; the coconut obscures them), but I like it like this. I can't claim that it was on purpose mind you. I actually forgot to add the little pile of rosemary I had chopped in readiness to the rich batter that made up the cake component of today's lams. This is what happens when you have only two days to Re-Invent and 10 lamington recipes to come up with - you turn into a sieve-for-brain-nincompoop.
I'd like to draw attention to the lovely flowers my rosemary bush was covered with, which garnish the lamington you see here. Further evidence of global warming? Well, maybe. But pretty at any rate.
White Chocolate and Rosemary Lamingtons
You will need:
175g plain flour
175g soft butter
175g caster sugar
3 eggs
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp vanilla extract
3 tbsp milk
1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary (I don't have any dried stuff, but it would work here, though I'd only use 1 tsp)
500g white chocolate
200g dessicated coconut
- First, make the butter cake. Grease and line a 20cm square cake tin, and pre-heat the oven to 180°C.
- In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the flour, sugar, butter, eggs, milk, baking powder and vanilla together until you have a smooth batter. Scrape this into the prepared cake tin and level out. Bake for 25 minutes or until the cake tests done. That means that when you stick a cocktail stick (or a piece of spaghetti!) into the centre of the cake, it will come out clean, without any uncooked batter clinging to it.
- Cool the cake in the tin on a wire rack, and when completely cold, turn out and slice into 16 squares.
- Melt the chocolate, cool slightly and mix in the chopped rosemary. Use this mixture to make your lamingtons: working quickly, dip the cake cubes into the chocolate and immediately roll them in the coconut.
- They can be laid out on greaseproof paper to dry and set, and if you want to garnish with fresh rosemary flowers, like I did, be sure to put the flower stems into the lamingtons while the chocolate is still fairly liquid. Otherwise it will solidify and you'll find it impossible (read: very difficult) to break through the crisp shell.

On November 12, 2012, the Banjul Magistrates' Court decided to drop all charges against Dr. Isatou Touray and Ms. Amie Bojang-Sissoho, respectively Executive Director and Programme Coordinator of The Gambia Committee on Traditional Practices Affecting the Health of Women and Children (GAMCOTRAP), an organisation working on sexual and reproductive health and rights of women and children. The two women human rights defenders had been prosecuted since October 2010 on charges of "theft" for the alleged embezzlement of 30,000 Euros received in 2009 from "Yolocamba Solidaridad", a Spanish development NGO.
This landmark decision puts an end to an uninterrupted judicial harassment that had been going on for more than two years, since the police started interrogations of GAMCOTRAP staff in May 2010. Since the opening of their trial, Dr. Isatou Touray and Amie Bojang-Sissoho had been summoned to 66 hearings, which took place in a hostile atmosphere and on completely unlawful grounds. Indeed, the alleged victims had never filed a complaint and the Prosecution failed to present sufficient evidence that they had indeed committed a criminal offence. Furthermore, on January 31, 2011, Ms. Begoña Ballestros Sanchez, Director of Yolocamba Solidaridad, denied accusing anyone associated with GAMCOTRAP of theft and submitting a complaint in relation thereof during a hearing at Banjul Magistrate's Court. During interrogation, Ms. Isatou Touray had to respond to very precise questions by the Prosecutor covering all aspects of GAMCOTRAP's activities, staff and resources that are unrelated to the charges. In addition, the Prosecutor also repeatedly made depreciating comments about the work of GAMCOTRAP's programme to eradicate female genital mutilation.
The Observatory welcomes this decision and thanks all the persons, institutions and organisations who intervened in favour of Dr. Isatou Touray and Ms. Amie Bojang-Sissoho. More generally, the Observatory hopes that their acquittal marks a step forward in the respect of the rights of human rights defenders in the Gambia.

What is PurgoMalum?
PurgoMalum is a simple, free, RESTful web service for filtering and removing content of profanity, obscenity and other unwanted text. PurgoMalum's interface accepts several parameters for customization and can return results in plain text, XML and JSON.
PurgoMalum is designed to remove words from input text, based on an internal profanity list (you may optionally add your own words to the profanity list through a request parameter (see Request Parameters below). It is designed to recognize character alternates often used in place of standard alphabetic characters, e.g. "@" will be recognized as an "a", "$" will be recognized as an "s", and so forth.
PurgoMalum also utilizes a list of "safe words", i.e. innocuous words which contain words from the profanity list ("class" for example). These safe words are excluded from the filter.
If you discover any bugs or have any concerns, please contact me, and I will do my best to address them.
Calling the Web Service
Calling the web service involves a simple HTTP GET request. The only two requirements for using PurgoMalum are the "text" parameter on the query string and the request-type name as part of the path in the request. Here is a basic example of a request call to PurgoMalum, which will return the result as XML:
Note the return type within the request URL - "xml" - and the required parameter "text".
Please take a look here for a great Python client provided by Kevin Dious.
Request Parameters
This is a current list of available parameters which can be used in the request query string:
Parameter | Required? | Description |
text | Required | Input text to be processed. |
add | Optional | A comma separated list of words to be added to the profanity list. Accepts letters, numbers, underscores (_) and commas (,). Accepts up to 10 words (or 200 maximum characters in length). The PurgoMalum filter is case-insensitive, so the case of your entry is not important. |
fill_text | Optional | Text used to replace any words matching the profanity list. Accepts letters, numbers, underscores (_) tildes (~), exclamation points (!), dashes/hyphens (-), equal signs (=), pipes (|), single quotes ('), double quotes ("), asterisks (*), open and closed curly brackets ({ }), square brackets ([ ]) and parentheses (). Maximum length of 20 characters. When not used, the default is an asterisk (*) fill. |
fill_char | Optional | Single character used to replace any words matching the profanity list. Fills designated character to length of word replaced. Accepts underscore (_) tilde (~), dash/hyphen (-), equal sign (=), pipe (|) and asterisk (*). When not used, the default is an asterisk (*) fill. |
Response Types
This is a current list of methods provided by the web service and their corresponding return type:
Method Name | Response Type | Description |
containsprofanity | Plain Text | Returns "true" if input text contains words matching profanity list. If no matches are found, returns "false". |
xml | XML | Returns processed input text as XML. |
json | JSON | Returns processed input text as JSON. |
plain | Plain Text | Returns processed input text as plain text. |
Here are some examples of PurgoMalum implementations. Note that the method name follows the "/service/" section in the path.

Kenya ranks near the bottom of the world in food security. While the government works to stave off a coming drought, experts say Kenya must retool its local food markets to prevent future shortfalls.
As World Food Day approaches, Kenya stands at a crossroads in its fight to end hunger. The east African nation boasts one of the largest economies on the continent, with a highly developed agricultural sector ranked as one of the world's leading exporters of tea, coffee and flowers.
Kenya rated 'high risk'
But despite its potential, Kenya is one of the most food-insecure nations on the planet. United Kingdom-based risk consultants Maplecroft ranked Kenya 21st among 163 countries in their 2010 Food Security Risk Assessment. The consultants, who frequently collaborate with the United Nations, rated Kenya as 'high risk," placing it ahead of such countries as Pakistan, at 30; and Iraq, at 59.
Environmental factors play a large role in Kenya's food insecurity. Much of Kenya's eastern and northern regions are fairly dry, and inhabitants rely on seasonal rains to survive. In 2008 and 2009, unusually light rains proved disastrous, sending food prices up and triggering massive shortages.
But according to the managing director of the Rockefeller Foundation's Africa Program, Dr. James Nyoro, the problem has as much to do with structural issues in Kenya's economy. "This is ironical because when you look at the infrastructure, Kenya is doing better than all the others within the region. But you are talking about a huge population; you are talking about very well advanced horticultural system, very well advanced coffee and tea systems. So Kenya has utilized most of its good potential to produce high-value exports. And as a result of that it has traded off producing food."
Growing food gap
The gap between supply and demand has been growing in Kenya since the 1990s, but Kenya's producers have not moved to meet the increased need.
According to Nyoro, Kenya lacks a modern commodity exchange that can take advantage of its production potential. Farmers must instead rely on what he calls "extremely unpredictable prices" set by the government to sell staple crops such as corn.
"Kenya has not been able to put in an efficient food marketing system that ensures that if you invest as a small scale-farmer or medium-scale farmer in maize production that at the end of the season you will be able to get a good market and get your returns," said Nyoro. "The marketing system has not been very well established and it has been kind of monopolized by the National Cereals and Produce Board which is a government body."
Coming drought predicted
Early 2010 turned out to be a season of surplus for Kenyan farmers. Higher than average rainfall helped speed the recovery from consecutive seasons of drought.
But early reports of a "La Nina" weather system have analysts predicting another season of drought in the coming months. Nyoro warned that Kenya will have to build up its national grain reserves through imports to prevent famine.
The Kenyan government seems to agree. The Ministry of Agriculture announced on Tuesday it will double the reserves from 360 million kilograms to around 720 million kilograms in anticipation of a shortfall.
Proactive measures
In Northeastern Province, one of the country's driest regions, officials also are working to keep harvests from failing. According to the Provincial Director of Agriculture, Shikuku Mushieni, farmers are being given tools to make the most of the marginal rains.
"The government, through the Ministry of Agriculture, has supplied a total of 30 tons of assorted drought-tolerant crops and we are distributing it to the farmers throughout the province," said Mushieni. "Secondly, we have irrigation schemes along the two major rivers, River Tana and River Dawa, where farmers are working in groups and planting various crops. Therefore, we look forward to a season whereby the little rain that shall be received - the farmers will be able to use it effectively to produce food for the province."
In 2009 the Kenya Food Security Steering Group - made up of officials from Kenya, the United Nations, NGOs and the Famine Early Warning System Network - estimated 3.8 million people were in need of emergency food assistance from September until February. A recent assessment by the group found that nearly 2 million would need food assistance through December of this year.

The nightmare that is currently unfolding up in Canada will soon be coming to the United States. When the price of oil first started crashing, most Americans and most Canadians applauded. Most people thought that lower gas prices would be really good for the economy. Well, it turns out that the exact opposite is true. Just like in the United States, the energy industry has been the primary engine for the growth of good paying jobs in Canada since the last recession. Up in Alberta, there was such a need for oil patch workers that even someone that had just recently graduated from high school could find an oil patch job that paid six figures during the boom times. Now the "boom" is turning into a "bust", and huge numbers of those good paying jobs are being lost. As a result, suicide, crime, unemployment and poverty are all skyrocketing, and the mainstream media is telling us that "the worst is yet to come".
It saddens me to watch what is happening to Alberta, because I have family up there. Whenever I have visited Alberta, I have been very impressed by how clean and orderly the communities are and by how very polite most people seem to be. As Americans, there is much that we could learn from our neighbors to the north.
But now that the oil bubble has burst, things are changing up in Alberta very rapidly. The following comes from a recent Bloomberg article…
Crime is rising, home prices are falling and food banks are overwhelmed in Calgary as job losses spread. And the worst isn't yet over in the heart of Canada's oil patch.
Some of the city's largest employers are poised to cut more jobs in 2016 as they reduce spending for a second straight year, adding to an estimated 40,000 oil and natural gas positions lost across the nation since the crude price rout began 18 months ago.
"We all know someone who has lost a job," Naheed Nenshi, the city's mayor, said in a speech this month, lamenting the "funeral"-like atmosphere in the business community.
When we start digging into some of the hard numbers, things get even bleaker. Just check out these statistics…
-A total of more than 63,000 jobs were lost in Alberta during the first eight months of 2015 alone.
-Over the past 12 months, the official unemployment rate in Calgary has shot up from 4.6 percent to 6.9 percent.
-Home sales in Calgary have plummeted 21 percent so far in 2015.
-Just since September, the number of school lunches for poor children provided by Brown Bagging for Calgary's Kids has risen by 16 percent.
-Food bank use in the province of Alberta overall has jumped by a whopping 23 percent according to the most recent numbers.
-In Calgary, the number of commercial break-ins has nearly doubled over the past year.
-The number of bank robberies in Calgary has increased by 65 percent in 2015.
-The number of home invasions in Calgary has risen by 52 percent in 2015.
-Every time there is an economic downturn in Alberta, the suicide rate shoots up, and this year is no exception. It is being projected that the suicide rate will be about 30 percent higher this year than it was last year.
This is what happens when a "boom cycle" turns into a "bust cycle", and the same thing is coming to the United States.
Even in the midst of our so-called "economic recovery", poverty in America has continued to explode, suicide rates have continued to rise, and in many of our largest cities violent crime rates are up by double digit percentages in 2015.
If these things have been happening during the "good times", what in the world are the "bad times" going to look like?
Just because the U.S. stock market is doing okay for the moment does not mean that the underlying economy is in good shape. The truth is that we are in the midst of a long-term economic collapse that is now starting to accelerate once again. For much more on this, please see my previous article entitled "Sayonara Middle Class: 22 Stunning Pieces Of Evidence That Show The Middle Class In America Is Dying".
What is happening up in Alberta right now gives us some important clues about what we can expect to happen shortly in our own communities.
First of all, we are going to see large numbers of people start to lose their jobs just like we saw back in 2008. And because 62 percent of the country is living paycheck to paycheck, that means that most people do not have a cushion to fall back upon. Just like in 2008, millions upon millions of Americans will go from living a very comfortable middle class lifestyle to facing hard times and desperation very, very rapidly.
As fear and poverty spread, people will become desperate, and desperate people do desperate things.
Some will decide that their lives are no longer worth living and will turn to suicide. Others will turn to drugs, alcohol or pills. When things get tough, addictive behavior tends to rise, and this time around will probably be no exception.
Other Americans will turn to crime and violent behavior in their desperation. Just like we are seeing in Canada right now, home invasions, bank robberies and other forms of violent crime will increase.
But if you are prepared ahead of time, you and your family will have a chance to make it through the storm. That is why I am constantly urging my readers to prepare. If you wait until the storm is right on top of us, that will be too late to start preparing.
Right at this moment, things seem relatively quiet. Most of us have become trained to think in terms of 48 hour news cycles, and so we can be fooled by temporary lulls in the action.
Don't be fooled. This period of relative quiet is about to come to an abrupt end, and 2016 is going to be far more chaotic than most people would dare to imagine.
So please get prepared for what is ahead now, while you still can.
