STRENGTHENING RURAL ECONOMIES: Programs that Target Promising Sectors of a Local Economy
AbstractStrengthening Rural Economics: Programs that Target Promising Sectors of a LocalEconomy examines how a strategy of concentrating economic developing effort on a sector of businesses that are located near each other and share other common features can expand economic opportunities and produce jobs in rural areas. The report describes four diverse cases in which such a strategy has been used at least in part with the intention of increasing employment among low income people – and with some success.

Morning Glory is on Netflix Instant, in case you're in the mood for the most maudlin, insulting (to all intelligent people, but particularly women), bizarrely stupid joke you've ever played on your own eyes. The nosebleed I got while watching it (due to a mishap involving an especially sharp "boog") was more enjoyable. When you make Patrick Wilson and Diane Keaton unwatchable, you've achieved something few could even imagine and none would care to try. I'm sure Rachel McAdams read the script and thought, "If I don't get the part of this cliched, career-obsessed, 'hopeless with men,' flippy-banged marionette, I will force Eternal Sunshine-away all my Ryan Gosling memories," because WHAT AN EXCITING PART FOR A MODERN ACTRESS!!!!! Why make a woman confident when she can be a ridiculous pseudo-mess whose "difference" (ACTUAL QUOTE FROM PATRICK WILSON: "I like you. You're different." WAIT, REALLY?? How so? Seriously, how so?) is charming and endearing rather than characteristic of a broadly painted stereotype of neurotic rom-com heroines just waiting to be silenced by ONE HOT DUDE FINGER TO THEIR LIPS? So, so cool when Patrick Wilson takes Rachel McAdams' incessantly ringing Blackberry and puts it in…the fridge. "YO 'NOTEBOOK,' YER ASS JUST GOT FRIDGED!!! Love a man's body HARD and live your truest life!!!!" But then the movie isn't even a rom-com, it's just about how Harrison Ford is a curmudgeon? It makes no sense. Whatever. This movie ate my lunch like 14 times over, and, make no mistake, it WILL eat yours.
If you're not convinced, know that the climax involves a DRAMATIC COOKING OF A FRITTATA THE END. -A.O. Scott
"The most passive choice is to not be Asian."
But in the movie House, William Katt's character is writing a book about Vietnam called "One Man's Story: A Personal Account of the Vietnam War."
When, at 12am, you watch a metrocard machine add your last nine dollars to a card (so you can get to work the next day) and then erase that money and spit out an invalid card.
When I get paid on Thursday I am gonna order like 4 pizzas and just eat each one slowly, slice by slice, while I stare at the other pizzas, knowing only I will get to eat them and I will have my fill of all the pizza I could ever want until the next time I only have nine BORROWED dollars until I get paid a week later.

"We've got the perfect lawyer to defend you. Only trouble is she hasn't tried a case in four years."
It seems like a lot of movies are about that one case that happens to come along and draw a talented professional out of retirement. Durn coincidence right there.

Nice and light and works very well
December 13, 2013
I have been using this knife for kayaking and keep it in my PFD inner pocket in case of tow line or other rope type entanglements. Luckily I haven't had to use it yet for these things but have used it quite a bit with other things. The blade is strong and so is the locking mechanism. The knife is also very light weight. If you paddle in salt water I recommend you soak it in warm fresh water in between paddles before you put it away as the only complaint I have and is that it will still get rust spots on it. Its not truly stainless in my opinion. the locking mechanism can get sticky if salt water is left in there. a drop of oil will bring it back though. All in all it is a very good knife for water applications.Pros: Great design, Build quality, Performance, Ease of use, Great value, Cons: prone to some rust
very good all round rescue knife
April 21, 2005
Verry good all round rescue knife. Excellent one handed opening. With many folding knives it is "possible" to open the knife with one hand, but with this knife it is actually quite easy to open the knife with one hand, which can be critical in a kayak self rescue situation. Bright yellow handle makes it less likely to get misplaced. Stainless belt/pocket clip allow for convient access.
Gerber E-Z Out RExcue Knife
January 24, 2013
Strong and Light. Great locking mechanism. Easy to open and shut. I like the knife because it ins not overly fancy, but is very practical. I'll use it on whitewater rafting and fishing trips.Pros: Great design, Build quality, Ease of use, Great value

I thought there was too much vinegar in the sauce. Next time I make this (and I will), I'm putting 1 TBS vinegar and 1 TBS raspberry jam. I did not cook the breasts to 170 (yuck - way too done). I cooked them rare. Duck should be cooked like red meat not like chicken.
Duck with Dried Cherries and Rosemary

This was great! My boyfriend went duck hunting for the first time, and we chose this recipe to feature his catches. We followed the advice of a previous reviewer and used 1tbs vinegar, and 1tbs raspberry jam. It was amazing! Pan frying the duck with the bones still in it proved a bit challenging but we managed. I served it with roasted potatoes with garlic rosemary and olive oil. Delicious!
LeAndra Posted: 10/05/09
I work on a guest ranch and had a group of people who requested "upscale" food. I made this and received RAVE reviews from the Chicagoans. I would definitely make again! Just keep the sauce separate from the duck for leftovers, it gets too strong.

TEAMS: Cincinnati Bengals, Houston Texans, Baltimore Ravens, Wake Forest Demon Deacons
After a surprising season in which the Cincinnati Bengals shocked the league, appearing in the playoffs when many predicted them to be competing for the first overall draft selection, the Bengals are a confounding team to project in 2012. Granted, Andy Dalton and A.J. Green will continue to develop as a dynamic playmaking combination, but questions remain about Green's supporting cast of receivers, holes in the secondary of their top-10 defense, and improvement in the offensive line. If Marvin Lewis continues building upon the success with a roster full of his guys, look for a new contract allowing his power within the organization to grow. That, however, will be a tall order for a season in which the Bengals play the NFC East in addition to two matchups each against the Steelers and Ravens. Who will help take the pressure off A.J. Green? Although many pundits believe that the Bengals need to target free agent Braylon Edwards due to a largely unproven receiving corps, Cincin...

It hadn't been fed since December. I keep it in the refrigerator, and its set very low. About 2 degrees. I guess near freezing helped keep it dormant.
Should be fine. No harm trying right. If it doesn't work or brings unwanted flavors, just start a new one, or I can dry some of mine and send it to you.
I have a question about sour dough starters since we are talking about them. When I go to restaurants with the sourdough bread there dough has an actual sour flavor whereas mine just has a very nice complex flavor but isn't really sour. So are they adding something to there's I do not have or what? I really like mine I just dont detect any sour notes with mine at home. Can anyone shine a bit of light on this?
It's all about the starter, as well as fermentation and autolyze techniques. A few questions:
How old is your starter?
How are you margining it, feeding, storage, refreshing?
Is this a Demi sourdough, meaning adding other yeasts to the picture?
What's the formula your using, I can help bring out flavors you want better if I know the formula.
Fermentation times?
This can be fun, I love talking bread, lol
I'm going to rethink my first statement... It's about the starter, but a lot of the sour flavors come from fermentation, autolyze, and retarding the dough and yeasts.
We'll figure this out, and get you the flavors your after
Been a while since I posted something of my own in a while, here's one.
Rye and millet yeast water English Muffins. Just love playing with yeast waters. Brings a whole new level to my yeast obsession, lol
I would appreciate the opportunity to try your starter. Give a guy a chance to experiment with flavors.
Rye and millet yeast water English muffins looks interesting. How's the crumb?

Paul Georgy serves as president/CEO of Allendale, Inc., a worldwide agricultural advisory and research firm that provides agricultural commodity price research and risk management alternatives for producers, major food companies, international corporations, foreign governments, and major news vendors.
Good Morning! Paul Georgy with early morning comments for February 12, 2014 at 4:30 am.
Grain futures are mixed in a quiet overnight session. The agricultural markets are searching for new price drivers as the next event which could create some excitement is the USDA Outlook Conference next week when they release their first projections for 2014/15. After that, we wait until March 31 when the USDA releases Acreage and Quarterly Stocks.
Lack of cancellation news by China is supporting soybean futures. Our contacts believe China has too many soybeans booked both in the US and Brazil. At what price will China sell back their contracts for the cheaper product?
The Brazilian government is hopeful of large safrina crop and CONAB (their USDA) projected their corn crop at 75.47 mmt. While down from last year's record crop, it's still over 5 mmt above Monday's USDA estimate.
Cash grain movement is slow although farmers have been selling corn on the recent rally. The bitter cold and snowy conditions are limiting movement. Soybean bids improved as processors need supplies during this cold weather. Crush margins are positive due to strong meal demand.
The House of Representatives passed an extension to the debt ceiling for 1 year. The Senate is expected to vote tomorrow.
Chart analysts are watching the 5.90 area in March wheat. A close above that level suggests a move to 6.10.
Beef cutout values were sharply lower again on Tuesday with choice down 2.02 and select down .85. There were no deliveries of cattle against the February futures. The CME Feeder Index was 169.33. Live cattle futures were higher on Tuesday with follow through overnight on fund and technical buying. The cash and futures markets are moving toward a more historical relationship as it is normal for April futures to be at a premium to live prices.
Warmer weather in the forecast has lean hog traders expecting a larger run of hogs becoming available. Product was under pressure on Tuesday as cutout values were down .33. April futures are carrying about a $10.00 premium to the cash index with the February contract expiring this week.
Markets as of 4:30 AM

Revamped Safeway opens in heart of Gourmet Ghetto
Today sees the re-opening, after nearly one year of construction work, of the Safeway on Shattuck Avenue, right in the heart of Berkeley's Gourmet Ghetto.
For one loyal customer, the unveiling of what the grocery chain refers to as one of its "lifestyle" stores is, as she put it, "mind boggling." When Claire Alvarez moved to Henry Street in 1962, the spot now occupied by Safeway was a vacant lot. Alvarez watched the original store go up, and was first in the door when it opened in 1965. Yesterday, she was designated the new store's official first customer and was asked to help cut the ceremonial ribbon.
Alvarez, like may Berkeley residents, and even Safeway employees, agreed the old store was in dire need of a makeover. "But I never dreamed it would be like this," she said, after being presented with a bouquet of flowers by the store's manager, Kimberly Davis. "I'll be coming in every other day."
The revamped store has been a long time in the making, and not without complications. What started out as a plan to rebuild — and at one point included first-story housing — turned into an extensive remodel, albeit one that saw all but one original wall maintained. And the community expressed many concerns about the project along the way. … Continue reading »
Bleak images as Berkeley store closes for remodeling
There's something almost post-apocalyptic about these photographs of Safeway on Shattuck Avenue taken just before it closed its doors on Saturday in order to undergo an expansion and complete renovation.
The bare shelves and exposed shabbiness caught the imagination of two of Berkeleyside's regular contributing photographers: Joe Parks and Michael Moore.
New plans unveiled for Safeway store on Shattuck
Safeway's new designs for a remodeled store on Shattuck Avenue will make the grocery store an integral part of the lively Gourmet Ghetto.
The new plans, which were unveiled July 26, call for outdoor benches and café seating along Shattuck Avenue, as well as the installation of large windows that will allow pedestrians to see inside the store.
"Today's design is a vast improvement over the current store — both inside and out," Elisabeth Jewell, Safeway's community and government … Continue reading »

Officers with the US Army's 3rd Infantry Division said 200 Iraqis were killed, wounded or captured in fighting that broke out overnight southeast of the city of Karbala, 80 kilometers from Baghdad. Colonel Will Grimsley, commander of the division's First Brigade, said there had been sporadic encounters earlier with elements of the Republican Guard in the area, but "this is the first serious contact."
US Apache helicopters attacked Iraqi positions north of Najaf, about 70 kilometers south of Karbala, in what a US officers described as "low-intensity" combat early Monday.
Elsewhere, fighting was reported in Najaf and the southern Iraqi city of Samawah while British forces launched a major assault to secure a suburb in the southern city of Basra.
In the north, Iraqi positions on the frontlines between government troops and Kurdish rebel-held territory came under air attack for a third night running.
US marines and Iraqi forces also traded artillery fire overnight as Americans launched bombing strikes on the central Iraqi town of Sharat, a military spokesman said.
Meanwhile, Iraq said on Monday it had destroyed a U.S. helicopter and tank and repeated pledges to defeat a U.S. and British invasion.
In an announcement on state television, an Iraqi military spokesman said "Let the Americans and British know that they themselves wanted war so they will not have any taste of peace until after we uproot them from our land." (Albawaba.com)

File Naming Conventions Best Practices
Filenaming 20080508 finalDepartment of Cultural Resources
1 Revised May 7, 2008 Best Practices for File-Naming Department of Cultural Resources
2 Revised May 7, 2008 Rule #1: Avoid using special characters in a file name.\ / : * ?
.00; | [ ] & $ , .
The characters listed above are frequently used for specific tasks in an electronic environment.For example, a forward slash is used to identify folder levels in Microsoft products, while Mac operating systems use the colon.Periods are used in front of file-name extensions to denote file formats such as .jpg and .doc; using them in a file name could result in lost files or errors.Rule #2: Use underscores instead of periods or spaces.y have a specific function in a file name, which is to tell the computer program where the file-name extension begins.Spaces are frequently translated in a Web environment to be read as %20.
For example, Naming%20tutorial.doc if it were available online.This alteration can cause confusion in identifying the actual file name.Spaces in file names can also cause broken links, because word processing tools like Microsoft Word, and e-mail clients like Microsoft Outlook, recognize spaces as an opportunity to move to another line.Therefore, a link to
\\Ah1\Intranet\araming conventions
could become \\Ah1\Intranet\araming conventions Another difference that is found among operating systems and software is the acceptable length of file names.
Some systems allow up to 256 characters, while others allow far fewer.Rule #3: Err on the side of brevity.
Generally about 25 characters is a sufficient length to capture enough descriptive information for naming a record.Records will be moved from their original location.Files are frequently copied to other folders, downloaded, and emailed.It is important to ensure that the file name, independent of the folder where the original file lives, is sufficiently descriptive.
Electronic records are usually organized in a series of folders.For example: Department of Cultural Resources
3 Revised May 7, 2008 While this is a very organized way of storing records, it is only efficient as long as the files stay in their original folders in their original context.When multiple staff works on a project (or staff is in a position to get distracted) it is very easy to misfile a document.As soon as 0001.tif is copied to another folder, or emailed to an agency, the context provided by the folders in which the document is nested is lost.Context is particularly important in legal situations because it provides authenticity and trustworthiness of the record.Losing the context of a record can possibly compromise its trustworthiness and therefore its validity or admissibility for court proceedings
2.0 Best Practices For File Naming
File naming conventions and practices should be determined for each digital project, ... conventions are outlined in the best practices document on newspaper (records.ncdcr.gov)
paper files and folders, best practices were in place ... that could serve as a general guideline in structuring folder and file naming conventions: 1. ... (library.illinois.edu)
File Management Best Practices - University Of Denver
File Management Best Practices File Naming Management of electronic resources begins with the individual file. Clear, unique file names improve efficiency and ... (exadox.com)
For instance, if the following files were pulled out of their appropriate folders, they would appear to be the same file: Rule #4: The file name should include all necessary descriptive information is stored: Incorrect: 0001.tif
Correct: wwI_poster_owens_0001.tif Government records will have an associated retention schedule.The point of organizing an agencys electronic records is to enable accessibility not only by current users, but by future users as well.Records retention schedules are applied to electronic records just as they are to paper records.
Having the relevant date associated with the file is essential.
Though many operating systems store this information with the file, as users move the file among folders and computers and as the file is re-saved as revisions are made, those dates change.A file could have dates that do not make much sense to its original creation.
For example, the image to the right displays the properties for a file named default.The date modified appears to be before the date created.This disparity appeared when the file was copied from a server to the desktop of a PC.
The best way to prevent confusion is to embed the relevant date (the date that the file was created or Department of Cultural Resources
4 Revised May 7, 2008 Rule #5: Include dates and format them consistently.Some workgroups might find it more useful to have the date at the start of the file name, while others might prefer it at the end.
Either way, it is a useful sorting tool when the files are organized.Just be sure to keep it consistent.
The best way to list the date is based on an international standard
ISO 8601 specifies numeric representations of date and time to be used in electronic format.The international standard date notation is: YYYY_MM_DD
orYYYYMMDDYYYY is the year, MM is the month of the year between 01 (January) and 12 (December), and DD is the day of the month between 01 and 31.For example, January 5, 2008 is written as 2008_01_05 or 20080105.This format allows ease of sorting and comparing files by date and prevents confusion with other date formats (especially in other formats that use just two digits for the year).
to reflect that this draft was last edited on May 5, 2008.Records will have multiple versions.A file will frequently have multiple versions, especially when it is created by a workgroup.
Rule #5: To more easily manage drafts and revisions, include a version number on these documents.
The easiest way to do this is to use the letter v to represent version number.
Then, v01, v02, v03 can be added as needed to a file and the maineffective than other common additions like update, new, old, etc.An exception to this rule is using FINAL to indicate the final version of the document.This can be helpful to quickly identify the most accurate version of the document.When using FINAL, be sure to use it
of the version number, rather than in addition to it.Rule #6: Be consistent.The most important rule of file-naming is to be consistent.Some choices will need to be made

But that pic is not facing the city otherwise we would see it.
This means that the pic is facing north and that town is not sandy shores, which I do not believe for one second that it is because like I said, you would be able to see the city clearly as the Alamo sea is very close to the city.
Sandy Shores is near the southeast edge of the Alamo Sea; most of it it blocked from view by that forested area at the base of Mt. Alamo. Also, in case you haven't noticed:
Those three hills behind Vinewood are the same three hills in the pic that you think depicts the north portion of the map.

Available in Phoenix (green), Dark Phoenix (red), and White Phoenix of the Crown (white), in women's sizes S-3XL.
This shirt is utter perfection; the silhouette of Jean Grey within the Phoenix symbol is simple and chic, and I love that this shirt is available in every incarnation of Phoenix. Personally, I'm quite partial the the classic green Phoenix look.
But more importantly: Which Phoenix are you?

A 27-year-old man was behind bars Monday after the Broward Sheriff's Office said he shot a driver parked at a gas station, carjacked a woman and three children, then attempted to run over a deputy.
Dwayne Dyer was arrested Sunday night and charged with first-degree murder, carjacking and aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer. He also had a weapons offense warrant out of New York.
"In a matter of three hours, Dyer committed a murder, an armed carjacking and tried to run over a deputy," said BSO Spokeswoman Keyla Concepcion. "The community's cooperation coupled with excellent work by our deputies and detectives resulted in the quick apprehension of a very dangerous man."
Deputies say Kemar Austin, 29, had pulled into the Citgo station at 4449 N. State Road 7 at about 2 p.m. Sunday when he was shot. Badly wounded, he then drove 10 blocks north from the gas station and careened onto a raised median at Northwest 34th Street and State Road 7.
Austin was airlifted to Broward Health Medical Center, where he died.
Meanwhile, according to the police report, detectives pulled surveillance video from the station and saw a man dressed in a white shirt and camouflage pants approach a dark-colored Acura with his right arm outstretched. A gun was visible. The shooter then left in a silver Toyota.
A witness called police with the tag number, and when deputies went to the car owner's residence, Dyer took off running, according to deputies. As he ran away from deputies, he spotted a woman and her three kids in the parking lot of an apartment complex and told the woman to drive. She refused and she and the children got out. Dyer jumped in the woman's car and drove off. The carjacking victim reported the incident and deputies issued a be-on-the-lookout order.
A deputy in Lauderdale Lakes spotted the car heading south on State Road 7 near the Boulevard of Champions and walked onto the road to stop Dyer. Dyer accelerated and the deputy jumped out of the way. Dyer drove a little farther and crashed before taking off running. Deputies caught up with him and he was arrested.
Concepcion said Monday that it didn't appear that Dyer knew Austin, and the motive may have been robbery.
"It's sad to think that the victim didn't even know the suspect," she said. "He was truly a victim in this case and now his family is suffering the loss."

MARTIN COUNTY -- Slather on some sunscreen, throw on some old sneakers, and join up with thousands of others around Martin County on Sept. 21 for this year's International Coastal Cleanup.
Cities all over the world will be coming together that day in an effort to beautify the Earth's oceans and waterways and Martin County is no exception.
Passionate ocean advocates will gather, grab some supplies, and get to work scouring the beaches and riverbeds for litter and waste that doesn't belong.
Keep Martin Beautiful, an affiliate of Keep America Beautiful, has organized the local Coastal Cleanup event for 18 years in an effort to preserve and enhance the quality of life in the community.
It's the same organization that runs the Adopt-a-Road and Adopt-a-Beach programs and Extreme Martin Makeover.
"We're trying to create a more beautiful and clean community for everyone," said Jessica Layne, outreach coordinator for KMB.
KMB coordinates the local cleanup, providing supplies and collecting data from cleanup volunteers. KMB will then share their findings, along with cleanup crews around the world, with the Ocean Conservancy, the education and outreach organization that established the international event. They will then use the information to identify the sources of the litter and try to change the behaviors that cause pollution.
It's a way to beautify beaches and riverbeds as well as protect birds and marine life by removing debris like cigarette butts, soda bottles and food wrappers. It's an important effort for a waterfront community, according to Ms. Layne.
"If you live in Martin County you are impacted by our local waterways," said Ms. Layne. "This is one tangible way to make a difference year round."
Anyone can participate, no matter what age or city of residence, but first they need to register. Registration is free and ensures that all the waterways in Martin County are being attended to.
"If there's water, we want volunteers there," Ms. Layne said.
Stuart Beach will be the main location for last-minute volunteers, but she recommends getting together with a group of friends, family, colleagues or fellow students to pick a favorite waterway or location and adopt it for the day.
Last year more than 2,000 people participated and collected more than 20,100 pounds of litter and debris.
The post cleanup celebration will take place at Flagler Park where food, drinks and family fun activities will be provided as a way to thank volunteers for their hard work.
Volunteers can register by calling KMB at (772)781-1222 or by e-mailing them at firstname.lastname@example.com. The International Coastal Cleanup will run from 8 a.m. to noon.

W Motors unveils Arab world's first homegrown supercar
by George Kennedy (RSS feed) on Jul 22nd, 2012 at 10:01AM
In the wealthier parts of the Middle East, supercars are king. Along the streets of Dubai, machines ranging from the blisteringly fast to the extremely rare are as ubiquitous as yellow taxis in Manhattan. It would seem what's missing, then, is a homegrown hypercar. For a market that gobbles up such a large amount high-performance machines, there are no supercars that originate from the Middle East...until now. At an event in Beirut, Lebanon, W Motors announced that it will produce two models, the Hyper-Sport and the Super-sport, which will become the first ever supercars produced in the... Read More

Pin the tale on the donkey
Who would have thought there were so many uses for sleep mask. I was recently at a BBQ with a group of families who were all close friends. As parents we were always slightly nervous when the families got together as all of the childen had a tendency to become hyperactive. This happened as expected until one of the father found a sleep mask in his pocket from a recent plane journey to Copenhagan. We drew a large picture of a donkey on a piece of paper and then made a small tassle to act as the donkeys tail. The children then took it it turn to play pin the tale on the donkey. The behaviour was impeccable. Who would have thought that something so simple as an sleepmask could save the day

Now that fall is bringing us warm evenings, where better to enjoy them than at Cinnabar Winery's tasting room in Saratoga? Sit and sip some great vintages at the tasting room's wine bar, open Friday and Saturday evenings from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., and also on Fridays through the end of September, enjoy live music by local bands.
What to do here: The pleasant tasting room on Big Basin Way, less than five miles from Cinnabar's wine estate in the Saratoga hills, is a low-stress way to learn about wines and to shop for wine-related items and other gifts, including picnic items like gourmet cheeses, salami, olives, nuts, toasts, and chocolates. If you have small children with you, no problem—there's a play area with coloring books and crayons to keep them occupied.
At the tasting room, you can sample some of the current releases, including reds like cabernet sauvignon, petite sirah, and malbec; there are also several chardonnays from different wine regions, as well as red and white blends under the name Mercury Rising.
But what makes this establishment truly unique is the Mudd Room, the after-hours wine bar that revs up on Fridays and Saturdays.
Amazingly, there's no cover charge to hear live music on Friday evenings, although there is a one-drink minimum—and wines are available either by the glass or by the bottle. This Friday and on Sept. 23, you'll hear the country blues stylings of the Terry Hiatt Band; on Sept. 16, the schedule calls for folk rockers emith, and on Sept. 30, the acoustic rock of 7th Wave.
The Mudd Room is fondly named after vineyard and winery founder Tom Mudd (1942-2007); visitors can gather either indoors or out on the patio.
And even more to like: If all that wasn't enough, there's more. Cinnabar is one busy place. The winery hosts its fourth annual Harvest Barbecue at its vineyard estate in Saratoga on Saturday, Sept. 17, beginning with noontime "Wine Welcome" where guests will sample Cinnabar wines and nibble on freshly baked pizza appetizers made in a wood-fired outdoor brick oven.
A barbecued tri-tip lunch follows, all with more wine, of course. The event also includes a dessert competition; to buy tickets and get more details about the contest, visit the Cinnabar website. Cost is $50 per person.
The winery also hosts several tasting events during September, including a blind pinot noir tasting and a wine aromas and flavor component class with Cinnabar's winemaker George Troquato on Sept. 18. Cost for either class is $15.
About Cinnabar Winery: The winery was founded in 1981 by Tom Mudd, a Stanford Research Institute engineer who became a passionate winemaker. He called his wine "Cinnabar" after the ore found in mercury, that alchemists believed they could use to transform ordinary metal into gold. Cinnabar was used at the Quicksilver mines in San Jose's New Almaden to extract gold from rocks. With the passing of Mudd in 2007, the winery still belongs to the Mudd family and is managed by president Suzanne Frontz and winemaker George Troquato.
Cinnabar produces its wines from a variety of regions, including the Santa Cruz Mountains, California's Central Coast, Sonoma County, the Red Hills of Lake County, the Clements Hills above Lodi, and Santa Clara Valley.
Directions and phone: From Highway 85 south, take Saratoga Avenue west; after a few miles you'll enter the town of Saratoga, and the road will turn into Big Basin Way. Continue on to the winery tasting room at 14612 Big Basin Way, Saratoga. The tasting room is open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily and the Mudd Room from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays. Information: www.cinnabarwine.com or 408-867-1012.

I don't know the password for my friend's blog (obviously enough), so I'm not sure what to other than downloading the whole thing manually. Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks for any help.
Be careful about the possibility that he has a copyright on his blog. About the only thing I can think of is to print out the blog and re-type it. If there are photo's usually you can click on the photo which pulls it to another screen where you can save it in your own files. The only way you can download the book from the blog is to have the passwords though….

|Bullying in Schools: An Overview
|U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ)
This bulletin examines the connection between different types and frequencies of bullying, truancy, and student achievement, and whether students' engagement in school mediates these factors. The authors conclude that victimization in the form of bullying can distance students from learning. Schools can overcome this negative effect if they adopt strategies that engage students in their work, creating positive learning environments that produce academic achievement.

|A Meta-Analysis of School-Based Bullying Prevention Programs' Effects on Bystander Intervention Behavior
|Joshua R. Polanin, Dorothy L. Espelage, & Therese D. Pigott
This meta-analysis synthesized bullying prevention programs' effectiveness at increasing bystander intervention in bullying situations. Evidence from 12 school-based programs, involving 12,874 students, indicated that overall the programs were successful (Hedges's g = .20, 95% confidence interval [CI] = .11 to .29, p = .001), with larger effects for high school (HS) samples compared to kindergarten through eighth-grade (K-8) student samples (HS effect size [ES] = 0.43, K-8 ES = 0.14; p < .05). A secondary synthesis from eight of the studies that reported empathy for the victim revealed treatment effectiveness that was positive but not significantly different from zero (g = .05, 95% CI= -.07 to .17, p = .45). Nevertheless, this meta-analysis indicated that programs increased bystander intervention both on a practical and statistically significant level. These results suggest that researchers and school administrators should consider implementing programs that focus on bystander intervention behavior supplementary to bullying prevention programs.

|"You're So Gay!": Do Different Forms of Bullying Matter for Adolescent Males?
|Swearer, Susan M.; Turner, Rhonda K.; Givens, Jami E.; Pollack, William S.
This study examined effects of adolescent males' perceptions of being bullied because of verbal taunts related to gender nonconformity (i.e., "They say I'm gay"). Participants included 251 ninth- (n = 77), tenth- (n = 96), and eleventh- (n = 78) grade students in a private, all-male college preparatory school. Participants were divided into two groups based on whether they were bullied by being called gay. Out of the 251 participants, 121 (48%) reported having been bullied and 127 (50%) stated that they had not been bullied during the past year (2% did not report). Of the 121 participants who had been bullied, 32 (26%) reported that they had been bullied because others called them gay (Group 1) and 89 (74%) reported that they had been bullied for other reasons, exclusive of being called gay (Group 2). Consistent with predictions, the boys who were bullied because they were called gay experienced greater psychological distress, greater verbal and physical bullying, and more negative perceptions of their school experiences than boys who were bullied for other reasons. Implications for school-based intervention services for bullying are discussed.

|Bullying and Peer Victimization at School: Perceptual Differences Between Students and School Staff
|Catherine P. Bradshaw, Anne L. Sawyer, Lindsey M. O'Brennan
The data for this study came from a district-wide survey of student (n = 15,185) and staff (n = 1,547) perceptions of and experiences with bullying conducted in 75 elementary, 20 middle, and 14 high schools. Results indicated that staff at all school levels (elementary, middle, and high) underestimated the number of students involved in frequent bullying. Both middle school students and staff tended to report the greatest exposure to and concern about bullying. Staff with greater efficacy for handling bullying situations were more likely to intervene and less likely to make the bullying situation worse. Staff members' own experiences with bullying were predictive of their attitudes toward bullying and perceived efficacy for handling a bullying situation. Implications for prevention and intervention by school psychologists are provided.

Though many have tried, few can capture in words the true spirit and magic that is Paris. The French capital has long been a mecca for artists, thinkers and writers, and today it holds some of the world's greatest museums and more recognizable landmarks than any other city. In this "City of Light" you'll witness the most romantic reflections of Paris strolling along the River Seine or gazing at the glittering Eiffel Tower at night. Highly intelligent, Paris is also an art and history buff's fantasy – from the staggering collection of art at the Louvre Museum to the pure opulence of Versailles Palace, the former seat of the Royal Court.
The striking Opera House was designed in 1860 in the peak of the French Empire by Charles Garnier. With its stunning facade of gleaming marble, sculpture, and mosaics, the Opera Garnier is one of the city s most impressive monuments from the 19th century. Today it stages operas, classical music concerts, ballet and contemporary dance.
The "King of all Palaces" and the pride of France, Versailles Palace proudly owns its title as one of the grandest chateaus in all of France. Situated southwest of Paris in the leafy suburb of Versailles, Chateau de Versailles was the former seat of the Royal Court from 1682 until 1789. This over-the-top palace covers an expansive 900 hectares of glittering salons, fountain-lined parks and flower-filled gardens, epitomizing the imperial grandeur.
The River Seine flows through the heart of Paris, its waters reflecting the most romantic images of this "City of Light." A cruise along the Seine, past charming quays, bridges and the iconic Eiffel Tower is the ultimate Parisian experience.
The mecca for art lovers worldwide, the Musee du Louvre is possibly one of the world s greatest art museums. Opened to the public in 1793 with just 2500 paintings, the Louvre now houses a staggering collection of over 30,000 paintings, including its star attraction, Leonardo da Vinci s Mona Lisa, as well as the Venus de Milo, and Michelangelo s Slaves.
Easily one of the world s most recognizable landmarks, the Tour Eiffel was never meant to be permanent. French engineer Gustave-Alexandre Eiffel built this 7000 ton wrought-iron tower in 1889 for the World Fair, and for years it was the largest man-made structure on earth at 1050ft. Criticized by the artistic elite, it was almost torn down in 1909, but was salvaged when it proved an ideal platform for a radio (now TV) antenna on its peak. Today the Eiffel Tower is synonymous with Paris itself and a must-see for visitors. Head to the top for a 360-degree panoramic view or catch a night-time viewing that s simply breathtaking.
A gift to France from Egypt in 1831, the 3300-year-old pink granite obelisk stands in the Place de la Concorde situated along the River Seine. This monument once stood in the Temple of Ramses at Thebes (modern-day Luxor) and now rests in this immense square, separating the Tuilerie Gardens from the Champs Elysees. The place today retains the general appearance it had in the 18th century, when it was used as the site of countless beheadings, including Louis XVI in 1793 and Marie-Antoinette. After the Reign of Terror ended, the square was renamed Place de la Concorde (harmony) in hopes it would become a place of peace.

Peasants, Farmers and Scientists
A Chronicle of Tropical Agricultural Science in the Twentieth Century
Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreThis book is a critical account of tropical agricultural science and agricultural development in the twentieth century, in particular in Africa. It describes successes as well as fads and failures, from the perspective of a practitioner of more than 40 years. The emphasis is on the second half of the century, but the story frequently reaches deep into the first half of the century as well. The book??'s premise is that the story of tropical agricultural science and agricultural development can be told in a single volume at a more than trivial level, understandable for people of normal intelligence. It tries to uncover what real value there has been in the major areas of study (Farming Systems Research, Natural Resource Management, crop modelling, etc.) after peeling off the multiple protective layers applied by the profession. It also takes a critical look at agricultural and general development which has become inflated with hot air to the point of blowing itself apart in the early twenty-first century. A wide range of topics is covered, including interesting early science from the beginning of the last century (sugarcane breeding and shifting cultivation in Indonesia, anthropological studies in German West Africa), fascinating indigenous farming practices in Africa, the history of Farming Systems Research and its offshoots, sense and nonsense of computer modelling of crop growth, and the role of development projects and consultants. The treatment is closely linked with the author's professional career, but the emphasis is on the subject matter. less

In the middle of June, when the team at the IIE Scholar Rescue Fund realized we were facing a third Iraq emergency—as well as requests for help from scholars in many other parts of the world—Senator Leahy of Vermont reminded us why we do this work. He told the story of a man walking along a beach where many starfish had washed ashore. The man was picking them up one by one and tossing them back into the ocean. A passerby noted that there were many hundreds and that the effort was pretty much futile. "Not to the one I just managed to throw back," replied the man.
In an op-ed in the New York Times about the 'world's coolest places,' columnist Nick Kristof writes that "travel can also be an education, a step toward empathy and international understanding." At IIE, we couldn't agree more. In fact, this was one of the most important factors that led to the establishment of IIE in 1919.
The answer to this question, according to the authors of IIE's spring 2014 edition of IIENetworker is, "it depends." While we tend to think of internationalization and globalization as harmonious, even synonymous, this issue of IIE's biannual magazine makes important distinctions between the two and points out the benefits—along with potential drawbacks—of rapid globalization.
So how might globalization be bad for international education?
The day after Crimea broke away from Ukraine, our director in Kyiv shared a message from a grantee and the picture below. The message read: "Today I feel like my home was taken. away from me. Miss you Yalta, Crimea, Ukraine."
When I read the words and saw the seascape, I thought about the two countries I had "lost" in another career: South Vietnam and Iran.
The Rhodes Trust is piloting a new Falcon Scholarship program for students from parts of the world that have not been part of the British Commonwealth to do graduate study at Oxford. It was my honor to chair a Selection Committee for Rhodes for the finalists attending universities in the UAE. As would be true in America, the candidates actually come from many different countries. And most of them are from the parts of the world that generate headlines associated with conflict.
"Every student who wants to succeed in the global economy should study abroad." That is the first sentence of IIE's new book, A Student Guide to Study Abroad, which was published by IIE in collaboration with the AIFS Foundation, and is packed with essential tips and information for students looking to study abroad.
Last month I met with Torbjørn Røe Isaksen, the new Minister of Education and Research in Norway, who was in Washington, DC, for the annual Transatlantic Science Week organized by the Royal Norwegian Embassy. We spoke about higher education internationalization in Norway and the priorities for academic collaboration with the United States. Mr. Røe Isaksen, who holds a MA in Political Science from the University of Oslo, also spent one year in the United States as a student at Carl Junction High School in Missouri.
The fourth annual EducationUSA Forum is now behind us, and by all accounts, this year was the most successful ever. (Disclaimer: IIE helps State Department to organize the event.) Approximately, 600 people from the US higher education community and educational advising came together for the three day event in Washington DC to learn about how best to promote international education and attract a diverse group of international students to their campuses. The Forum has quickly become a major event on the international education circuit, especially for those working in the international recruitment and admissions field. Much was discussed at the Forum, ranging from regional updates, to consular issues, scholarship programs, countries to watch and much more.
The Institute of International Education (IIE) supports open, ongoing and inclusive discussion of the post-2015 global development agenda and upholds the vision of the UN Global Consultation on Education that "equitable quality lifelong education and learning for all" should be central to the post-2015 goals.
Higher education institutions, educational organizations, and governments around the world are continuously looking for new ways to engage internationally and to keep their academic institutions relevant and competitive. Funding organizations and governments are investing substantial resources in international education, and are seeking to identify new areas to support.
For more than nine decades, the Institute of International Education has been at the forefront of international education. The Opening Minds blog is IIE's take on how this field continues to change. Here the Institute's leaders will explore international educational exchange, global student mobility, institutional partnerships, international development, and other topics and trends that are shaping higher education around the world.
