Guidelines for participatory training and extension in farmer's water management (PT&E-FWM)
Participatory Training and Extension (PT&E) is a training and extension approach that on a participatory analysis of the constraints and opportunities and based on the outcome analysis the introduction of new and appropriate technologies. Group based extension and training activities that enhance farmers' capacities and skills, as well as capacity building staff involved in the extension activities go hand in hand. Participatory Training and Extension is a tool to reach the goal of improved Farmers' Water Management involving and supporting farmers. In order to support farmers and increase capacity in FWM they need training and support for the introduction of technologies. The main objective of PT&E is to empower farmers in order to develop, modify and diffuse appropriate and sustainable new technologies. The programme for Participatory Training and Extension in Farmers' Water Management (PT&E-FWM) was developed within the framework of the FAO- Special Programme for Food Security. It has been implemented and tested in several countries (Zambia, Nepal, Cambodia and Bangladesh). Learning from the successes and mistakes of the first pilot projects, the programme has evolved over a number of years in a more improved and definite format. The PT&E-FWM programme incorporates the concept of the Farmer Field School (FFS) introduced under the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programme. The FFS approach has enjoyed remarkable success as it showed that farmers can become experts at analyzing specific problems related to their farming activities and make informed decisions about necessary interventions. The PT&E-FWM programme is also partly based on staff training methodologies developed under the Farmers' Water Management Training

Marketing and Branding Alive and Well in Nashville
This week I had the pleasure of speaking with some bright marketing minds in town--creative people who understand marketing as a discipline beyond the confines of the traditional agency approach. Among them are Tim McMullen, founder of five-year-old redpepper, and Mike Delevante and Lindsay Jamieson of Delevante Creative. Mike comes from the late agency of RD & Q, which itself was a great pool of creative talent, and Lindsay honed his brand consulting skills with the likes of Red Spider and Headmint in London and New York. Both of these consulting shops are rewriting the rules of branding and marketing with their nontraditional approach.
Always refreshing to talk to folks who believe in marketing as a strategic tool that can actually deliver measurable results in the bigger context of a business. Some time ago I began to wonder whether Nashville was averse to strategic marketing. After seeing the great work of these and other local people, I'm happy to be proven wrong. Now I'm excited about the prospect of meeting other local marketers who are just this passionate about their field.

Larry Gopnik is a good man. He is a loving husband, a committed father, and a dedicated professor who always does the fair and just thing in the face of daily temptations. But one day, everything starts to go wrong. Check out some photos…

Lacquered Lace Ball Gown with Illusion Neckline Style MS251030 8 8
Stunning Dress! I ordered this dress online without ever trying it on based on the pictures and peoples reviews. I fits perfectly I got a size 10 but I am usually a 8. The dress is way nicer than the photos i don't think it does it justice. Lovely gown I can't wait to get married in it! September 11, 2014
So gorgeous! Unique! Like no other dress I tried on and it is exactly what I was looking for! The skirt was so big and full - I loved it. The bodice was so unique - stylish and comfortable. We had a garden themed outdoor wedding and this dress fit the theme perfectly. Subtle flower details over the bodice and on the skirt. I highly recommend the matching veil as well. June 22, 2014
Lovely Lace Because I am a plus size woman, I was unable to try the dress on in-store. However, the second my attendant clipped the dress on over what I was wearing, my mom and I both burst into tears knowing this was the dress for me. I think it's important for people to know that this dress can look beautiful on any size, not just a super thin model like in the pictures. I am a size 18 and the size 20 in this dress fit me beautifully. The train is so gorgeous, the lace top is lovely, and the buttons all down the back are such a pretty detail. I love all the layers and how this dress makes me feel like an absolute princess! It's nothing like what I pictured myself wearing on my wedding day, but I love it so much I can't even stand it! Can't wait to wear it on June 21! March 24, 2014
This Is My Dress I knew this was my dress the first time I tried it on and then the second time I tried it on and when I tried it on the third time I bought it at 50% off! I can't wait for my wedding day when I get to wear it for the most amazing guy in the world. October 11, 2013

by Clinton Lak, Landscape Designer, BSLA
A Casey Key homeowner asked ArtisTree to create a functional, sustainable, no-turf landscape design that would work on three different levels: It had to be aesthetically pleasing, minimally impactful and congruent with the home's architecture and coastal environment. It also had to accomodate her family's lifestyle, which included frequent entertaining and just kicking back. Since our client had mused on artwork viewed in the museums of Paris, one of the elements we decided to create for her was a living masterpiece -- a one-of-a-kind living wall (vertical garden) outside the master bathroom window consisting of artfully placed, drought-resistant succulents. Their tapestry of colors and textures reflected in the master-bath mirror for a truly stunning visual effect.
Living walls have become a popular art form for many homeowners throughout Florida due to their low maintenance, intense beauty, lack of heavy water usage and air-purification benefits. Like a green roof, they capture rainwater to minimize the use of water resources. Most green wall panels feature eco-friendly containers filled with growing medium, often installed at a slant to support the selected plants. Occasional pruning and dead-wooding are necessary to maintain the propoer shape and color of a green wall. ArtisTree's design experts are experienced in sustainable landscaping practices and can assist you with creating your own vertical-garden masterpiece.

Words "and upon conviction thereof" before "shall be punished" were also omitted as unnecessary, since punishment cannot be imposed until a conviction is secured.
Changes were made in phraseology.

Audit: Governor's economic development corporation lacked documentation for spending, grants
7 hours ago
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin's semi-private job creation agency lacked supporting documentation justifying spending on expenses and grants during the first two years of its existence, according to a report released Friday. Auditors reviewed 223 non-payroll administrative expenditures and found instances where spending wasn't adequately documented to show what spending occurred, whether it was reasonable or whether it was approved. Some expenditures should have been recorded in different accounts or weren't recorded consistently with similar types of spending. For example, $50,000 spent under a grant agreement was recorded as a services expenditure, the report said.

Your Fearless Forecaster went 5-5 last week because he didn't know that:
**–An unsportsmanlike conduct penalty (they've asked us not to call it excessive celebration) could be called for players looking into the stands or pointing to the sky. Nevertheless, LSU made the plays at the end of the game and deserved to beat Georgia.
**–The Tennessee offense could get any worse than it was. Auburn, to its credit, took advantage of that.
**–Miami would bounce back from an embarrassing loss at Virginia Tech and show a lot of heart to beat banged-up Oklahoma. Randy Shannon's team is looking at 11-1.
**–Florida State's football program could become more dysfunctional than it already was and lose on the road to Boston College.
**–Clemson could lose to a 1-3 Maryland team whose only win was against James Madison (38-35) in overtime.
That leaves us at 35-15 after five weeks. We'll hope to do better this time out.
1. Georgia Tech at Florida State: If I'm Paul Johnson, I am concerned about what I will find when I get to Tallahassee. The Seminoles are going to rally and play great or they are going to go completely in the tank. I think Florida State will play hard but the truth is Georgia Tech is a better team. Georgia Tech 28, Florida State 24.
2. Georgia at Tennessee: After watching Georgia struggle to run the ball against LSU, it's pretty clear what Monte Kiffin, the Tennessee DC, will do. He'll stuff the run and bet that Georgia QB Joe Cox and WR A.J. Green can't beat him. Georgia will speed up the tempo on offense and wear down the Tennessee defense in the second half. The Drama Dawgs win another close one. Georgia 21, Tennessee 17.
3. Florida at LSU: I'm not a doctor and I don't play one on TV. But I'm here to tell you that Florida wins if Tim Tebow plays. Florida also wins if Tim Tebow doesn't play. It's called defense and Florida has a great one. It will be a classic. Florida 17, LSU 14.
4. Auburn at Arkansas: Auburn showed me a lot by winning at Tennessee. Now the Tigers will be in a track meet in Fayetteville. Somebody in this game is going to have to make a defensive stop. Auburn has a better chance of doing it. Auburn 42, Arkansas 35.
5. Alabama at Ole Miss: Everybody is telling me what a great game this is going to be. I don't see it. Alabama can beat you so many ways. They can grind it out. They can hit the big play. Jevan Snead, the Ole Miss quarterback, really struggled against a very good defense from South Carolina. Alabama's defense is better. Alabama 28, Ole Miss 10.
6. Kentucky at South Carolina: The Wildcats will be without star cornerback Trevard Lindley which means they will have a greener than grass secondary. Do you think Coach Spurrier will want Stephen Garcia to take a few shots down the field? Gamecocks go to Alabama next week at 5-1. South Carolina 31, Kentucky 13.
7. Houston at Mississippi State: All I know is that Georgia Tech's Josh Nesbitt, not know as a passer, threw for a career-high 266 yards against Mississippi State. So what does that mean for Houston's Case Keenum, who is completing 68 percent of his passes for 424 yards per game? Houston 42, Mississippi State 31.
8. Boston College at Virginia Tech: The Hokies need to be careful not to look ahead too much to next week's big trip to Georgia Tech. Boston College is struggling on offense but the Eagles are 4-1. If Virginia Tech QB Tyrod Taylor keeps playing well, the Hokies are going to be hard to beat. Virginia Tech 24, Boston College 14.
9. Michigan at Iowa: Iowa (5-0) might be the best team in the Big Ten but I will wait until the Hawkeyes play at Ohio State on Nov. 14 to make that judgment. Michigan lost a heartbreaker (26-20) in overtime at Michigan State last week and has the kind of spread offense that gives Iowa trouble. I still like the Hawkeyes. Iowa 21, Michigan 17.
10. Oregon at UCLA: The Ducks (4-1) have rebounded nicely after losing the opener to Boise State and have beaten California (42-3) and Washington State (52-6) in their last two outings. But Oregon may be without quarterback Jeremiah Masoli (knee). Nate Costa gets his first career start. Ducks win anyway. Oregon 31, UCLA 24.

drama dogs choke in the rain! it will look just like last nights game with mizzoo and the corn kids. your theory might be right on the passing game, but it won't be a passing game when the rain comes in buckets. Tenn. wins 9-6!

Is anyone really dumb enough to think Tebow won't play? Even so, I'm still giving LSU a good shot. Dawgs win in Neyland, improve to 3 and 1 in the SEC East. Hoping Florida gets a loss.
October 9th, 2009
8:54 am
The only two I disagree with are LSU/UF and Auburn/Arkansas. LSU at home at night = win like 90% of the time. On paper, Auburn may look like the better team but the typical pattern of unexpected SEC upsets will take place (ie SC over Miss) as Arkansas will somehow inexplicably win this game.
October 9th, 2009
8:54 am
Like your picks this week, Tony. The only thing I disagree with is that you think the UGA game is gonna be close. I think you're underestimating just how bad the Tennessee offense has been this year. The 22 points they scored against Auburn is misleading, as a Tiger victory was never in any real jeopardy. Georgia is the better team (and I'm a Gator fan, for those of you who will undoubtedly accuse me of being a UGA homer).

My prediction is Georgia scores first. Then they have a few series of 3 and outs. Tennessee finally scores and takes the lead. Next possession Georgia drives straight down the field to take a 3 point lead at the half. Georgia gets the ball to start the 2nd half has about 3 plays and turnover. Tennessee gets held to a field goal to tie the score. Georgia then has another 3 and out. Tennessee gets good field position and scores touchdown to take the lead. Georgia gets the ball and drives down to about the 10 yard line. Then a false start followed by holding penalty and settle for a field goal. Next Tennessee possession Tennessee gets 1 first down and punts back to Georgia with about 2 minutes left in the game. Georgia again drives right back down the field and scores winning touchdown with 45 seconds left. Tennessee then gets decent return and defense finally seals deal with Rambo getting interception. Another close game. This team is so predictable!!! They only play when they are challenged!!!!! Never play or coach a full 60 minutes. If this team played all the time with some urgency this team would be great!!!

UGA goes down this weekend in a squeaker. It is a shame thowugh because both of our teams are just mediocre, but we should improve next year.

Tech wins. Dogs win ugly. Florida wins whether Tebow plays or not. Michigan beats Iowa. Happy Friday and good luck (and no concussions) to all…

There you go again. That penalty did not win the game for LSWho. They still had to score. And guess what, they did. Maybe you should say you didn't know the UGA defense wouldn't do their job on their last play of the game as your first excuse for going 5-5. Sheesh!

I guess you couldn't resist the temptation to beat that dead horse again regarding the excessive celebration penalty. Let it go Tony. LSU was clearly the better team and you're acting like a 1st grader trying to make excuses for your team- coulda, shoulda, woulda. Are you still going to be talking about that call next week? Grow a pair Tony.

Tony, did we watch the same game last week? Its laughable to me that you and others keep citing the penalty on AJ Green as the sole reason you lost. UGA got beat by a better team. Wake up and smell the coffee. And take your skirt off.

Don't get me wrong, I really really really want Tech to win, but the thing that keeps popping in my head is this: When was the last time FSU lost three in a row? I can't remember a time and it scares me! Somethings just dont happen, like UGA beating UT and UF in the same year!

OK Tony.. you have whined enough about the penalty…. Your Dawgs Lost… get over it…
October 9th, 2009
9:12 am
Tony, love your column and I have great respect for your knowledge of the college game, but saying you missed the UGA v. LSU pick because of the refs comes off like a cop out. Regardless of the call, UGA did not play very well at home against a league opponent. Doggies had plenty of chances to win, but didn't.
Totally agree with your pick on Houston v. MS St. Those bulldogs couldn't defend if you were the QB.
Georgia will look like world beaters against TN and take out some frustration on the Vols.
Wish I knew what would happen in Tallahassee. Agree that Tech is the better team, but outside of Va Tech, no other ACC team plays very consistently week-to-week. And, I'd lay odds that Miami does NOT go 11-1.
October 9th, 2009
9:16 am
Reebok has it right. Dogs win but it may not be pretty. Our offense may be inconsistent but UT's offense is consistently bad. That will be the difference.
Hate to admit it but Tech wins.
Florida beats overrated LSU with or without Tebow.
Gosh while I'm at it…
Auburn gets loss #1 at Arkanasas.
Bama beats Ole Miss but it's closer than people think.
Kentucky sucks. SC works 'em.
Miss State upsets Houston.
Michigan, Iowa, any Big Ten team… Who gives a rat's.

Dawgs lose 17-10 Hardesty runs for 125 because we can't tackle and Crompton's receivers catch a couple of passes.
Tech wins as FSU continues to implode 35-24.

Dear T and GTalum –
you need to reread Tony's article. He said that LSU deserved to win and they made the plays UGA didn't. I don't call that whining. I call it giving credit where credit's due.
October 9th, 2009
9:19 am
MS State will beat Houston this weekend. And I agree with EDGE that its going to be extremely difficult to beat FSU to hand them their 3rd straight loss. I've been asking you writers all week- when IS the last time FSU lost 3 straight? Or 2 straight home games for that matter??
Jackets better show up in a big way. I think they will but I'm cautiously optimistic. Our record versus FSU needs to be plastered on every wall in the visitor's locker room at Doak Campbell.
October 9th, 2009
9:19 am
GEAUX TIGERS! You are right Tony that LSU vs. UF will be a classic but LSU will win it's 33rd straight Saturday night game in Death Valley! I agree with all your other picks! Good luck to all teams!
October 9th, 2009
9:20 am
I'm being honest when I say I just can't pick Fla/LSU. Too many variables…does Tebow play and if he does how much and how effective will he be?? Something tells me thats it's all gonna come down to a critical play or turnover. Georgia will defeat Tennessee, I'll say by 10 points just so the Vols can declare another moral victory. Saw some of the "Lane Kiffin Show" on Sun Sports the other day and he was saying this and that about how critical this and that was because it was only a 4 point loss to Auburn. But didn't Tenn score a touchdown on like the last play of the game to make it even that close?? He was acting like it was anybodys game at the end. Anyway, anybody ever notice how shifty that guys' eyes are on that show? He will look to the extreme left (at the host) and then extreme right but never right into the camera close up, only when they pan away. At very first, I thought he just didn't know what camera to look into, but he did it the whole time! I'm telling you, that guy is the "tricky Dick" of college football, a complete fraud!

Paul H- he's been whining about it all week and stated on the radio that it is the "single worst officiating call he's ever seen in his 32 years covering college football." That sir, is called whining. And its a delusional comment on top of the crying..
October 9th, 2009
9:21 am
Quit Bit*hing about the penalty. UGA had just as much time as LSU to drive down the field, which they were doing until Noodle Arm Cox throws a pick right into the chest of Perry Riley (who is from GA). Enough with it already!

Most fans would pick Tech over FSU….and Tech should beat FSU, but the ACC is so inconsistent this year that there are no sure things in any game. If FSU wins Saturday, be prepared for another PJ meltdown…stupid players.
Georgia has better players than Tennysee, and they should win by 2 touchdowns….only, the Dawgs are no lock to score 2 touchdowns. Which Georgia team shows up this weekend…and do they finally bring both there offense and their defense? Talk about stupid players…how can you not line up correctly on a kickoff? Georgia's glaring weakness seems to be coaching…or rather, the lack there of.
Bamma rolls Ole Miss….Jevan Snead is going to have to sleep with a night-light after this game. He'll have nightmares of big Bama boys slinging him around like Raggedy Andy. It will be a good day to check out the chicks in The Grove, but not a good football day for Ole Miss fans.
Awbarn's Limo hits a Razorback in Fayetteville. The Razorback walks away; Awbarn needs a tow truck. Putrid Bobby ruins the Chizler's day.
LSU needs to beat Florida in order to lose the over-rated tag. Saint Tebow performs a miracle and heals himself. But, that's where the miracles end. LSU's offense scores enough points to win a defensive struggle. Crawfish etouffee and Jack Daniels trumps perch and Busch Light.
The Warrior Chickens struggle to beat Kentucky, but defense wins the game…and SC has more of it than UK.
Va Tech hammers BC….
What's all of this blather from the Lil Yeller Fellers about Va Tech having Tech in their name? What about Texas Tech, Tenn Tech, La Tech, Cal Tech…does GIT have some trade school trademark filed that no one knew about?

Let's see———-LSU will have 94,000 fans in the stands–11 on the field. On Saturday night Jefferson sprouts wings, Scott rides his Pegasus up and down Tiger Stadium and LSU roars as the stadium rocks-LSU 27-19—and it's 6-0 already–Geaux you Bayou Bengals !

1) UGA-UT- UT has a tough D and a physical running game. Georgia has been Dr. Jekkyll-Mr.Hyde- Ya never know if the Georgia offense that walloped Ark and S. Carolina. is going to show up or if the offense that struggled against Okay state and LSU will show up. But for me the difference is that Joe Cox has flashes of brilliance whereas Crompton is consistently terrible. QB edge means UGA-20-17 over the vols.
2) LSU-UF- Still not sold on LSU. UF has so many weapons, the D is rock solid, and Brantley steps in comfortably. Gators by 10.
3) Teams backed in to a corner like FSU either rise to the challenge and respond or they just flat out give up and melt down. I think Tech wins either way but if FSU isn't at least focused then Tech can win by double digits.
4) I'm shocked that everyone thinks Bama is going to blow away Ole Miss. Not so fast my friends. We've won 5 in a row over Ole Miss but 4 of them were won in the final minute, 2 on the last play. Ole Miss has had this game circled for a freaking year, its in Oxford, and you can bet they are going to be more jacked for this game than any game on their calendar in years.
We beat UK comfortably last week we struggled without Donta Hightower on D and allowed 133 yds rushing which broke the Bama commandment that thou shalt not rush for 100 yds against our D. Ole Miss is 4-1 and in the one loss they simply were out of sync and not sharp due to all the practice time missed. 19 players missed practice time due to the flu sweeping their campus and you can't underestimate the impact that had on their one loss.
I think and hope we win but I think its crazy to think we're going to blow them out.
5) Auburn-Ark. – Tossup game but I'm taking Auburn 31-28 because overall I think they are slightly better and they have momentum on their side. Chizik really has Auburn rolling and if they stay healthy I think they'll continue to have a tremendous y

Georgia has a bad to terrible line and incapable running backs. Why stuff the run when you don't have to? I think they focus on bringing pressure and forcing Cox into some poor throws that they can pick off.
Georgia's Running Backs and OL don't scare anyone. There's no reason to walk up the safeties.

You think we have the type of offense that can wear down a Monte Kiffin defense?
Is it because we run it so well between the tackles? We churn out first downs and run clock? Have we been watching the same games this year?
I'm an alum as well, and would love to be an optimist, but if I look at this game objectively, I just cannot see how we solve their D. Plus, they will be playing with an extreme amount of urgency as another loss drops them to 0-3 in the conference.
Richt's road history says we win, but I have no idea what Georgia team will show up this year in Knoxville….I think we lose a close one.

"An unsportsmanlike conduct penalty (they've asked us not to call it excessive celebration) could be called for players looking into the stands or pointing to the sky. Nevertheless, LSU made the plays at the end of the game and deserved to beat Georgia."
Can you people even read or are you just so hung up on calling UGA fans whiners that is does not matter what anyone says? He clearly stated that LSU deserved to win the game, but you clowns still want to call him a whiner. Just STFU already!
October 9th, 2009
9:39 am
Simple Dawg, if having better players really mattered, UGA would not have gone 10-3 last year with blowout losses to equally if not less talented UF and Bama. And lack of coaching is right on the money.
October 9th, 2009
9:43 am
As an amendment to the earlier post: whomever wins the UT-UGA game, never team will leave happily. This is going to be a very sloppy, ugly game.

Having a rational conversation about public policy issues is becoming increasingly difficult because so many advocates will brook no disagreement, even if their positions are contradicted by facts or logic. Instead of engaging the argument, they demonize those who disagree with them as corrupt, ignorant, racist or worst. They use these ad hominem attacks, in turn, to justify their refusal to compromise. The result is that urgent problems grow steadily worse.
Environmental issues often provide vivid examples of this process, especially if the issue is global warming. Earlier this month, for example, global warming activists and their many allies in government and the traditional media made much of a report by the National Climate Data Center, which is part of the federal government's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
The report, according to weather.com, found that "higher-than-average monthly temperatures were reported on nearly every continent around the world, including much of Europe and Asia, coastal Africa, Central America and central South America, as well as in the North Atlantic Ocean, southwest Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean.
"Russia experienced its warmest November since national weather records began in 1891, as some parts of the country like Siberia and the Arctic islands in the Kara Sea recorded temperatures more than 14 Fahrenheit degrees higher than the monthly average. At the same time, cooler-than-average temperatures were reported in parts of North America -- especially in the southeastern U.S. -- as well as in northern Australia and southwest Greenland. No record cold monthly temperatures were reported."
People willing to listen to dissenting arguments learned there was more — and less — to the NOAA report than was reported. Global temperature data collected by satellite sensors have been heavily influenced for years by what appears to be severe warming across Russia. But global warming skeptic and meteorologist Anthony Watt notes this about the Russian warming:
"I have been wondering about that Russian red spot for 5 years. I've seen this red spot come and go in Russia, and I don't know what the reason is. I do know this: Neither I nor NOAA has a good handle on the siting characteristics of Russian weather stations." He also points to the fact Russia's extensive use of centralized steam heating systems "puts a lot of waste heat into the air from steam pipes."
There are indeed longstanding questions about the accuracy of worldwide average temperature readings, due to errors introduced by the geographic distribution of recording stations across the vast expanse of Russia. As Watt wrote in 2008, "like in the USA, weather stations tend to be distributed according to population density, with the more populated western portion of Russia having more weather stations than the less populated eastern areas such as Siberia."
There are statistical methods for correcting for such factors, but nobody knows with certainty whether those methods produce a credible result. These doubts are reason enough for humility among global warming advocates — if only they would take out their earplugs.

Chicago, IllinoisDecember 10, 2012
Feeding America applauds the announcements by USDA on December 6 and 7 that they intend to purchase up to $35 million in turkey products, up to $16 million in wild blueberries, and up to $25 million in fresh and processed potatoes. According to the USDA press release, the purchases are expected to be directed to federal nutrition assistance programs, including those that serve food banks. Those programs include the Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP), a federal program that helps food banks provide nutritious food to low-income Americans in need of hunger relief. Approximately 85% of the food that moves through the TEFAP program is distributed by Feeding America network members. TEFAP foods comprised 17 percent of the 3.3 billion pounds of food Feeding America distributed in FY 2012.
The announcement by Marketing and Regulatory Programs Under Secretary Edward Avalos comes at a time when Feeding America food banks are struggling to meet consistently high demands for food assistance throughout our nationwide network of food banks. With demand at food banks expected to remain high as millions of families struggle to get back on their feet, this purchase of nutritious produce and protein will fill a much needed gap at food banks nationwide.
As food banks grapple with expected higher food price inflation in 2013 due to the 2012 drought, and Congress considers potentially devastating cuts to the SNAP program, demand on food banks is expected to increase.
"We appreciate the Administration's timely and much needed turkey, blueberry and potato purchases," said Bob Aiken, President and CEO of Feeding America. "Our food banks are experiencing unprecedented demand for food assistance, driven by slow economic recovery and continued high rates of unemployment and TEFAP foods are integral to our ability to meet that demand."
"We urge Congress and USDA to work together to ensure that sufficient levels of food and funds are available for the purchase and distribution of federal commodities so that emergency food assistance remains available to those in need and that food pantry shelves do not go bare," said Aiken.
Feeding America is a nationwide network of 200 food banks that leads the fight against hunger in the United States. Together, we provide food to more than 46 million people through food pantries and meal programs in communities throughout America. Feeding America also supports programs that improve food security among the people we serve; educates the public about the problem of hunger; and advocates for legislation that protects people from going hungry. Individuals, charities, businesses and government all have a role in ending hunger. Donate. Volunteer. Advocate. Educate. Together we can solve hunger. Visit http://www.feedingamerica.org/.

EDMONTON -- A three-year deal for Ben Eager highlighted a busy first day of free agency for the Edmonton Oilers.
Edmonton signed the six-foot-two, 235-pound forward Friday for US$3.3 million after Eager scored seven goals and 17 points last season.
The Oilers also signed centre Eric Belanger to a three-year deal, defenceman Cam Barker to a $2.25-million, two-year contract and forward Darcy Hordichuk to a one-year deal.
Edmonton later added some experience to its blue-line by trading defenceman Kurtis Foster to Anaheim for veteran Andy Sutton.
Eager, 27, was drafted 23rd overall by Phoenix in 2002. He has 34 goals and 35 assists in 323 games with Philadelphia, Chicago, Atlanta and San Jose.
He also won a Stanley Cup with the Blackhawks in 2010.
Belanger, 33, had 13 goals and 27 assists in 82 games with the Coyotes last season. The 6-0, 185-pounder has 134 goals and 205 assists in 716 career games with Los Angeles, Carolina, Atlanta, Minnesota, Phoenix and Washington.
Barker, 25, had one goal and four assists in 52 games with Minnesota last season. The Wild bought out Barker on Friday and will pay him $900,000 over two seasons.
The 6-3, 215-pound blue-liner 19 goals and 73 assists in 271 career games with Chicago and Minnesota.
Hordichuk, 24, had one goal and four assists in 64 games with Florida last season. The 6-1, 211-pound left winger will provide a physical presence amidst a young roster that includes Taylor Hall.
Sutton, 36, had four assists in 39 games for Anaheim. The 6-6, 245-pounder has 35 goals and 105 assists in 624 games with the Ducks, San Jose, Minnesota, Atlanta, the New York Islanders and Ottawa.
On Friday, the Oilers also announced that they agreed to terms with free agent defenceman Corey Potter on a one-year, two-way contract.
Potter, 27, spent last season with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins of the American Hockey League where he scored seven goals and 30 assists and 52 penalty minutes in 75 games.

Guidelines for using existing pavements in rapid construction to extend pavement life and save money.
Pavement Renewal Solutions (R23)
Highway agencies need guidance to help better understand when and where it can be beneficial to use existing pavements to speed rehabilitation project delivery. Use of existing pavement can reduce cost; however, it is not always a viable solution. By being able to identify projects where this technique can be successful, highway agencies can apply the process with more confidence, and reap the benefits of lower cost, and more rapidly rehabilitated facilities.
An interactive web-based pavement design scoping tool provides much-needed guidance for deciding where and under what conditions to use existing pavement as part of roadway renewal projects. It includes approaches for employing existing pavements in-place to ensure longer service life for roads using asphalt, concrete, and innovative materials. The product also identifies new alternatives to renewal approaches; and examines the advantages and disadvantages of each approach, the circumstances under which each should be considered, different construction techniques, and methods for integrating recycled materials with adjacent materials and road structures.
This guide will help transportation agencies make better decisions with regard to pavement renewal projects by using existing pavement as part of the design. Transportation agencies, drivers, highway workers, contractors, and taxpayers will benefit from time savings based on rapid reuse of existing materials, reduced costs for new pavement, and an accelerated construction process. Washington DOT has utilized the recommendations offered in this guide, and has realized a 30 percent cost savings and a 50 percent reduction in user delay costs over the life of the new pavement. This approach delivers long-lasting value by promoting durable and dependable roads, while reducing the environmental footprint because less new pavement is required.
- Decreased use of new pavements.
- Shorter construction time, resulting in reduced exposure of travelers and construction workers to work zone hazards.
- A better return on investment based on longer pavement service life.
- Reduced environmental footprint, based on decreased use of new materials.
In the Field
|Project Description
|Implementation Assistance Program – The Arizona Department of Transportation is applying Pavement Renewal Solutions to renew pavement assets quickly and cost-effectively and to minimize the impacts on road users, to lower the costs of owning these assets, to decrease the use of new pavement, and to reduce the environmental footprint.
|Lead Adopter
Ashek Rana
Arizona Department of Transportation

Exclusive Redakai Preview: Metacharged - Silverbaxx!
TCGplayer Staff
We're super excited to announce that Redakai has been nominated for the Best Boys Toy award by People's Play Awards 2011! To cast your vote, be sure head on over and cast your vote here!
Welcome to the second of our four Redakai previews that we'll be staggering out over the next week at TCGplayer! These previews come from the latest Redakai expansion, Metacharged, and were given exclusively to TCGplayer.com, so be sure not to miss them!
The card I have for you today is a beast. Well, a primate more accurately. Allow me to I introduce you to Silverbaxx!
This guy is massive! If we've learned anything else from other cards games, it's that we should never overlook the text, �draw a card.� This guy basically rewards you for attacking with high powered attacks. Much like the Blue Silverbaxx from the original set this Gold Silverbaxx also interacts favorably with attacks cards 650 or greater! While the first Siverbaxx could return attacks to your hand from the discard pile, this one simply let you draw cards for playing those same returned attacks!
Cards like Cascading Vertigo, Frenzied Rush and Slashing Claws are going to be awesome with this guy! I can't imagine playing any less than three Silverbaxx in a deck, and this is another card you want to build your deck around. I for one am always exciting when new cards allow me to draw more cards, and this is one I can't wait to try out.
And don't forget to join us right back here next week, on Tuesday October 11th for the next card in our series of previews!
Metacharged, the first expansion for the Redakai trading card game, has a scheduled release date of October 15th, 2011!

GRAYSON COUNTY, TX -- A motorcyclist is dead after a crash just east of Van Alstyne.
It happened around 4 p.m. on Saturday on F.M. 121. Troopers say a car was attempting to turn north onto Hynds Ranch Road, when a motorcycle tried to pass several vehicles in a no-passing zone.
According to DPS, the motorcyclist, Troy Kardokus, 48, of Wylie, ran into the back of the car, throwing him off the bike and forcing the car off the road.
Kardokus was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the car, Karla Sprowl, 47, was okay.
Sprowl is the mother of a Van Alstyne High School student who was paralyzed in a sledding accident at his home after December's ice storm.
A barbeque benefit was held last night for Riley Sprowl at Kings Trail Cowboy Baptist Church near Whitewright.
Organizer Chris Offill says nearly one-thousand people showed up and they raised several thousand dollars. The teenager continues his recovery at Baylor Hospital in Dallas.

A technical glitch affected hundreds of D.C. students who use special passes to ride Metro, and some students were told incorrectly that they needed to add money or were improperly charged.
The issue affected 519 students who used their D.C. One cards Monday morning. For $30, the cards can be loaded with a monthly pass that allows unlimited trips.
One teen told The Washington Post that when he tried to use his card it didn't work. A station manager told him to add money. A parent said his daughter told him that the card had no money on it. Metro says a software upgrade created the problem. Students who had money on their cards beyond the monthly pass were improperly charged.
The glitch was corrected by 9 a.m.

Pet Stories: In Your Own Words
Rusty taught me how to be happy and enjoy life. He taught me about unconditional love and how to come out of my shell and reach out to people. He taught me that life is to be lived because that is what he did everyday. He was teaching me how to live like him. Perhaps I wasn't getting the whole picture or putting actions with the message. He is teaching me more joy now and how to live even in his death. Perhaps it was all those baby steps we took together that lead us to where I am today. He was a great teacher if only I can be as capable a student.
He smiles at me from my favorite picture of him. He smiles at me from above.
He showed up one day out of the blue and found me. Came right up to my front door and said can I come in. He stayed for six wonderful years. It was his time to move on to help some other desperate soul, to move on to heal another breaking heart.
I didn't like to have him lick my face because he ate bunny poop in the back yard. He licked my face a lot on our last day together. If or when a love like his comes into my life again I hope they lick my face a lot. I'm going to let them, I don't care where that tongue has been.
He was such a happy boy and brought so much joy and smiles to so many. Let's take that and put that love in all our hearts.
I do feel bad I use to say to myself how I could join a hiking group, play softball or ride my bike (not my motorcycle Joanie) if only…well he wants me to do that now and I can't let him down. I hope he understands it will happen but in baby steps in its own way in its own time. I was happy with the way things were I don't really need to do those other things but I guess he thought differently. Or perhaps I didn't let him know otherwise.
He knew when the time was right and how I have to travel along this path with the lessons he has given me. He makes me smile. He would not want me to cry he would be licking those tears away anyway. I told him I loved him a lot most every night before we went to sleep and when I went to work in the morning.
Before we drifted off to sleep at night, he would sigh and I would sigh. He is still getting me up at 5:30 these days before the alarm goes off. And I get up and go for a walk because he would want me to. It's good for me because I sit all day so it's good for me. I can't get out of practice or out of the routine because my love will be back. I needed to lose weight too and I think he thought so too because the good boy he is, he is helping me do that as well.
We had a great six years together but I think I took some of it and him for granted. I didn't make a big deal about his birthday this year – we usually celebrated it in July. I'm not very good about things like that with everyone. But I know I told him a lot how Thankful I was to God for bringing him to me. I Thank God for my buddy, my house, my life, my family!
I feel like I neglected Rusty in the last few weeks. I was feeling strange like a change was coming in my life like I was going to lose my job. I believe I have a strange intuition that I've been able to feel in the past. Examples include when or how I was going to meet someone I had it when I met my friends Joanie and also with Eileen.
I had it when I lost my job at HPSB. I had no idea it was about losing Rusty. I must have thought it would be my mother because my attitude got better on one level with her and then worse on another level. One moment I was telling her what a good mother I thought she had been and trying to simply ease her pain. I even told her I loved her. I can not recall the last time I ever spoke those words out load.
I wonder if she is even capable of any of this type of feeling any more. Does she know what regrets are or does she ever reflect on what she has done in her life time? I thought maybe she did so I thought it would be nice to ease her pain.
At other times, I felt I didn't want to be there nor did I have sympathy for her coughing fits. I was tired of them. She's losing weight and I thought if anything changed in my life it was going to be my job or my mother never ever did I think it would be my lover boy.
Of course when I would have these depression periods each month I felt burdened by having to be at the nursing home, then feel bad about that. I thought these feelings would bring about her death sooner than it should.
On those depressed days over the past two weeks – I know I took Rusty for granted. Was it the hot weather, was it going to the hospital too much? But not going gave me fits of guilt that felt worse than going.
I know because of these feelings or trying to deal with these feelings I neglected him lately. I went into myself and let it get me down. Oh how I wish I could get those days back. I miss him so much.
My shoulders are killing me – I'm holding it in and I'm getting so tight in my shoulders all the pain is focused there. The body knows there is pain it knows a heart is broken. I have this overwhelming desire to get another dog so that I can make it up to Rusty. Then I think, no that's not right. I need to deal with these emotions and thoughts first. I need to figure out what lessons I need to learn here before I subject another beautiful soul to my tortured soul.
He was full of life and love. He had so much happiness and sunshine to bring to everyone he met. I know he wants me to take that with me now. Baby steps. Goodness, kindness and compassion. GKC – he had this in deuces! In spades. Yes you heard me, compassion - believe it!

IdeologyPosted by Lawrence Dillon in Uncategorized
Paid a visit to an audiologist the other day. I've felt like my hearing might be worsening over the past year or so, and I hadn't actually had it checked in some forty years, so I googled the closest ear doctor and paid him a visit.
Thought I might be in for an interesting visit when the last question on the sheet the receptionist handed me was, "Have you ever studied a musical instrument?"
Then she gave me a bio sheet for Dr. Mills, and I have to admit I was ready to walk out, because I don't think the doctor's personal life is something I should have to trouble myself with. But I refrained from bolting and read it anyway. The sheet gave a few standard facts about him, then described the profound stutter he had gone to great lengths to overcome, establishing in him the gifts of patience and willingness to listen.
Dr. Mills came out to the waiting room to greet me – another surprise – then walked me back to his office. He spoke slowly and carefully, probing my history and current circumstances, and I was happy I had read his bio, so I could restrain myself from my ugly habit of interrupting people who don't speak as quickly as I might like.
But that's all almost beside the point — I wouldn't be writing about any of this if it weren't for the results of the test. I was put in a closet-sized chamber with tiny speakers inserted in my ears. After playing me a lovely assortment of sine waves, Dr. Mills fed me some white noise, and asked me, from the adjoining room, to repeat the words he was saying. When the test was complete, he showed me the results, which indicated that my right ear has a minor hearing loss in the medium-high register – so minor, he said, that most people wouldn't notice it. The fascinating thing, though, as far as he was concerned, was the way I discerned speech through noise. Most people, he told me, begin to lose the ability to understand words as the volume of noise approaches the volume of speech. When the volume of noise equals the volume of speech, the average person is able to understand about 25% of the words. In my case, however, he increased the noise level above the speech level, and I was still able to discern 90% of what he was saying.
He attributed these results to my musical training, which I have to admit was a nicely scientific affirmation of something one always assumes. Turns out he is a big supporter of the local symphony, and had attended the percussion ensemble concert I wrote about last month, so he clearly has more than a passing interest in the subject. Very odd that I've had two interactions with medical personnel in the past month (see here for the last one) that introduced me to people who have an active interest in what I do, when I had become accustomed to doctors who found my profession at least uninteresting and at best mysterious.
The whole thing gave me food for thought, especially as it raises issues of the trained vs. the untrained ear. Training, I suppose, is only one part of the equation – a more crucial ingredient may simply be a lifetime of daily close listening, keeping the wax away.
I remember a class I took years ago in which a student defended his analysis of a composition by saying, "this is the way I hear it" – to which the teacher responded, "you can train yourself to hear it any way you want to hear it." I always liked that idea, and my experience the other day confirms its plausibility. The human organism is astounding, we can teach ourselves to hear the things that matter most to us. If you want to hear noise as music — just practice. If you want to hear a clear distinction between noise and music – again, just practice.

This is the original, as of yet unedited flame for Valentine's day I've created. No speshul effects or nothin'. If you'd like to see some, let me know.

Happy Valentine's day, babe.
