In the early and mid 1800's, rural Ireland did not have a strong tradition of yeast bread making. Baking was done in the home and, in addition to having limited supplies, time was often at a premium. The use of baking soda as a leavening agent was quick, effective and it produced a much more consistent result than yeast did. It caught on quickly and made soda breads a staple of the Irish diet until commercial bread production began in earnest, though it is still popular in Ireland and many other parts of the world.
The original soda breads contained nothing more than flour, buttermilk, baking soda and salt. The buttermilk was leftover from the butter making process and the bread was almost always served with freshly churned butter. Today, the breads often contain additional ingredients, like sugar, butter, currants or caraway seeds to enhance the flavor of the bread. Soda bread is heartier than most yeast breads and pairs very well with soups, stews and meat dishes. It also makes outstanding toast

Consumer-Centric Innovation
Tapping into consumer insights to drive growth
Innovation. It's a word that appears in just about every annual report of consumer products companies. Although everyone talks about it, very few companies think innovatively about the concept, especially when it comes to new product development. Instead, many consumer-facing organizations remain focused on risk-averse activities aimed at slow-but-steady growth.
To be successful, companies will need to engage consumers in dialogue and leverage their insights to create nationally recognized brands that are worthy of their price. Consumer-Centric Innovation (CCI) can often be the path to this outcome as it can help create products that capture the customer's imagination, provide entertaining brand experiences, or offer solutions to previously unmet needs.
Consumer-centric innovation
In this report, "Consumer-centric innovation: Tapping into consumer insights to drive growth," Deloitte's Pat Conroy and Art Ash discuss six key action steps that companies should consider to help make their innovation efforts more consumer centric. These components provide companies with a new way of thinking about innovation that often can yield favorable long-term results.
In a time when consumers are increasingly bypassing companies and creating their own products or solutions and sharing them with others, the power and potential of consumer-centric innovation is too important to ignore.

I'm looking at the Nikon 18-135 zoom but notice it doesn't have Vibration Reduction. How much difference does it make, or would I do better going for something with VR?
Hi vr is important if you are shooting in low light. If you put it on a tripod then you always turn it off. I think you are better to have it and not need it as need it and not have it ... graham
Thanks, do you know of a lens with equivalent range that does have the VR? I think the 18-200 is too heavy for me.
HI.. They have upgraded the nikon 55- 200 vr [ think it's called vr11. I have the older version and find it a great lens and it's not to heavy. I will take a look at the 3rd party lenses and get back to you . graham
http://www.warehouseexpress.com/buy-...n-fit/p1028430 Hi here is a link for a tamron 18 270mm It has vr, they call it vc and also couples as a macro... There also is a sigma 70 300 that couples as a macro.I have one of these they are great lenses but quite heavy.. hope this helps graham
I agree with the previous responses; VR is imporant, but its not everything. Your configurations of shutter speed, ISO and exposure compensation also come into play. I find that anything around 1/125 s on my D90 brings out stable shots. It might be worth while shooting in Shutter (S) and adjusting the shutter speed yourself. I hope this helps.
I prefer to control the dof and the easiest way to do that is shoot in A mode which makes vr very useful
VR is very useful for hand-held shooting in low light, especially if you find your camera isn't the best at handling higher ISO noise, it is very possible to get sharp shots, hand-held, at 1/20 using VR. Just remember, VR is only good for static subjects, it's useless for anything that moves, you're better to go with fast shutter speeds, VR off and high ISO in those situations. But for portraits/still life/macro ... VR is brilliant.
Hi, I have VR on my lenses and find it worth it's weight in good pics. I use a 120-400mm lens and at full stretch the image in the viewfinder dances about somewhat, with VR or in this case, IS (image stabilisation) which is what Sigma use, the images freezes long enough for a good steady exposure to be made. So for long lenses it's vital, but shorter focal lengths with fast apertures it is not so important. It's all down to what lens you will be using and how fast it is. Hope this helps, all the best.

Bruce Erickson begins his 16th year at the helm for the Bluejays in 2014. He has led the Creighton to five NCAA Tournament appearances in the last 12 seasons.
Creighton rebounded from a down year in 2012 by posting its 12th winning season under Erickson with a 9-8-1 mark, its first season as a member of the BIG EAST conference in 2013.
"The move to the BIG EAST came at a perfect time. It spurred us to look at our program and get back to the things that have made us successful. Knowing that we are now in a league that doesn't have a weak team truly resets your focus," noted Erickson.
Focus has been a staple of Erickson's tenure at Creighton. Since arriving at Creighton prior to the 1999 season, Erickson has revitalized the women's soccer program. He took the Bluejays from a seven-win season in 1999 to four consecutive MVC Tournament championship matches between 2002-05. Creighton's climb to prominence continued with five NCAA appearances in a nine-year span (2002, '04, '05, '07 and '10). The Bluejays' ascension reached its current peak with a school-record 15 wins in 2010. Erickson also earned his second MVC Coach of the Year honor in 2010, the first coming in 2002.
Erickson led the Bluejays to a 9-6-3 mark in 2011. Creighton's season came to an end in the opening round of the MVC Tournament as the Bluejays tied Northern Iowa 1-1, but were bested in a shootout, 5-3.
One of the best teams in school history, the 2010 squad won both the MVC regular-season and tournament titles. The Bluejays put together a 15-4-2 overall record, including a league-record 10-match winning streak that season. The streak matched the most by a team in Creighton history (the Bluejays also won 10 straight in 1994), while the 15 wins set a school record. Erickson and his staff were named the MVC Coaching Staff of the Year in 2010, while Omaha native Brittney Neumann earned Player of the Year, joining Jaimie Thompson as one of two recipients under Erickson.
After starting the 2010 season 2-2-2 and scoring just nine goals in the first six matches, the squad rattled off 10 consecutive wins, outscoring opponents 29-5. Once the streak ended with a 2-1 loss to Missouri State, Creighton responded by clinching the regular-season title with a 2-1 overtime win versus Illinois State. Creighton's 50 goals scored placed them second in program history, while the squad finished ninth in the NCAA, scoring 2.38 goals per game. The win over Illinois State also gave Erickson his 200th career coaching win. In the MVC Tournament, the Bluejays continued their dominance with a 5-0 win over Evansville in the semifinal round, then exacted a measure of revenge with a 2-1 overtime win against Missouri State. Creighton's run, however, ended with a 4-2 loss at Minnesota in the NCAA Tournament.
The 2009 squad finished 13-6-2, setting school records with 11 shutouts and a 0.60 goals-against average (13th in the NCAA). Creighton logged four consecutive shutouts to start the season and ended the year in its sixth MVC Tournament title match since 2002. Neumann became the third Bluejay to earn MVC Freshman of the Year honors under Erickson.
The Bluejays' 12-6-1 2008 season was highlighted by Erickson's 100th win at Creighton – a 2-0 triumph over Drake on Sept. 28. Marcy Gans also became the Creighton career scoring leader, finishing with 38 goals and 91 points.
After missing the NCAA postseason in 2006 (9-8-2), the 2007 team caught fire late in the season, capturing its fourth MVC Tournament title by prevailing over Illinois State in penalty kicks (4-3). The Bluejays' season ended with a loss to eventual NCAA champion USC in the NCAA Tournament, despite being tied with the Trojans at halftime.
In 2005, the Bluejays owned a high-powered attack which led the league in offense. Sophomore Kristine Willrett tied a school record with 12 assists. Creighton was dominant at home, compiling an 8-1-1 record, while winning a second straight MVC postseason title, as tournament host.
The 2004 Bluejays managed to capture the MVC tournament title for the second time in school history after finishing second in the regular-season with a 3-1-3 league record.
Creighton's 2003 season was marked by injuries, yet Erickson still guided his team to an 11-6-4 record and a then school-record 0.81 goals-against average. The Bluejays also appeared in the MVC tournament championship match for the second consecutive season, falling in penalty kicks to Illinois State.
Erickson's 2002 squad won the MVC regular-season title, going unbeaten (6-0-1) in conference play. The Bluejays then captured the MVC tournament title with a thrilling 1-0 overtime win against Illinois State, advancing to the first NCAA tournament in program history. The 2002 team allowed just three goals in seven MVC matches for a 0.42 goals-against average.
The Bluejays' success under Erickson extends beyond the playing field, as he has coached 26 All-MVC First Team scholar-athletes and the Bluejays have won the NSCAA College Team Academic Award each of the past 13 seasons. Alicia Montgomery picked up the 2010 MVC Elite 18 award for academic and athletic success, while Montgomery and Claire Zach earned Academic All-District VII First Team honors. In 2003, Krystle Campa earned CoSIDA Academic All-America honors.
On the field, 23 Bluejays earned All-MVC First Team honors during Erickson's tenure. In 2002 under Erickson's guidance, Jaimie Thompson became the first goalkeeper in league history to win the MVC Player of the Year award. Regina Moench captured 2001 MVC Freshman of the Year honors and in 2004 Franny Hylok became just the second player in school history to earn All-MVC honors in each of her four seasons at Creighton.
Another example of Erickson's eye for talent has been reflected in the hiring of quality assistant coaches. Three of his former Creighton assistants are currently collegiate head coaches. Heather Cairns (Utah State) and Erika True (Indiana State) both served as assistant coaches under Erickson.
Erickson came to Creighton from Viterbo University in La Crosse, Wis., where he served as head men's soccer coach from 1993-98 and director of athletics from 1995-98. He helped instill a winning soccer tradition at the NAIA school, as the V-Hawks were consistently nationally ranked during his tenure. The Brooklyn Park, Minn. native also was responsible for starting and coaching the inaugural Viterbo women's soccer team in 1995.
While at the helm of the V-Hawk men's squad, Erickson compiled an overall record of 69-46-6 (.595), which included five winning campaigns. He led Viterbo to three Midwest Classic Conference championships and one NAIA district title. He also earned league "Coach of the Year" four times and was named both league and NAIA District "Coach of the Year" in 1993.
Erickson has served as a high school girls' staff coach for the Olympic Development Programs in Nebraska, Minnesota and Wisconsin. He holds an NSCAA advanced national diploma as well as a NSCAA goalkeeping diploma.
Before his coaching career at Viterbo, Erickson was a four-year starting goalkeeper for the V-Hawks from 1986 to 1990. He was an all-conference goalkeeper and earned NSCAA All-America honors in 1986. Erickson still holds the all-time goals-against average record at the school, with a 0.87 GAA during his collegiate career.
Erickson received a bachelor of science degree in industrial psychology from Viterbo in December 1990. He has three children, Emma (18), Olivia (15) and Noah (13).

Overton Elementary PTA hosts healthy heart family night
SALISBURY — Getting healthy is a family affair.
That was the message at Overton Elementary School's Healthy Heart Family Night on Feb. 28, when several local organizations came together with students, parents and teachers to focus on how families can be more healthy together.
"The overall goal was to have parents come out with their children and exercise together and learn about forming healthy habits," said event coordinator Leah Ann Honeycutt. "If they don't have healthy habits as parents then their children won't have healthy habits either."
There were 23 stations, featuring 20 organizations from throughout the community, that families would visit to learn about various aspects of a healthy lifestyle. Some activities focused on exercise, such as Tae Kwon Do demonstrations by Tola Rose and yoga instruction from The Forum's Steve Safrit.
Several Catawba College football players and athletic trainers were on hand as well to talk to children about why healthy habits are important to start at a young age.
"Just getting outside to play around can help keep them in shape and keep them active," said Chase Kellum, a wide receiver for Catawba and a native of Winston-Salem.
"We know how much hard work it takes to get to the point where we are," said Kellum, stressing the role physical fitness plays in helping one achieve personal goals. "We want to show them how important it is to start early."
Other stations at the event focused on healthy lifestyle choices. For instance, Cress Goodnight, lead therapist for Novant Health Rowan Medical Center and part of the YMCA's Fit for Motion program, demonstrated the oral damage from chewing tobacco using a special mannequin called, "dip lip." It was easy for the children to get the message when Goodnight would open up the mannequin's mouth to show them the disease inside.
A healthy meal was provided thanks to sponsorship from F&M Bank and Healthcare Management Consultants, Inc./Dental CFO. Moreover, fruit trays were donated by Chick-fil-A, Food Lion, Harris Teeter and Sam's Club. Olive Garden provided salad and Cheerwine donated bottled water.

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Polk Audio MM1240D by Gabrielle Thorndyke What's a component sub and why would I want one? A component sub is simply a speaker that's designed to reproduce bass once it's installed in a compatible enclosure. Think about the impact of a movie soundtrack in a big theater or even in your own home HDTV setup. A component sub can add the same kind of power to the music in your car. And a car sub is not all about the boom that you hear on a street corner (although that's cool too) - you can pair a component sub with your choice of enclosure to get bass just the way you like it, from tight and punchy to fat and loose. And once you experience music in your car with a well-tuned subwoofer, you'll never go back. Polk Audio's Mobile Monitor Series subwoofers bring out superior performance from lighter materials, so you'll get the impact you want without the extra weight of a conventional system. Advanced engineering and optimized components reproduce your sound with uncompromising accuracy, for low end that is rich and clear. The MM1240D 12" dual voice coil subwoofer handles up to 425 watts RMS. A copper voice coil and neodymium magnet motor drives the polymer cone with exceptional efficiency. The carbon composite basket features a "wagon wheel" design that resists flexing during heavy excursion, so your sub hits sub hits solidly without distorting. The dual 4-ohm voice coils offer options for wiring a multi-sub system or drawing maximum power from your mono amplifier. This sub is certified for marine use, and Polk includes corrosion-resistant stainless steel mounting hardware.

Features Enclosure Compatibility Features Klippel Optimized: Using a state-of-the-art Klippel Distortion Analyzer, Polk engineers were able to optimize the woofer's motor structure, voice coil alignment and suspension for the best possible performance, even at extreme listening levels. Polymer Woofer Cone with Butyl Rubber Surrounds: The Polymer Woofer Cones and Butyl Rubber Surrounds will not break down over time and will survive the rigors of harsh automotive environments. High Temperature Copper Voice Coil (50mm) and Polyamide Former: High Temperature 50mm Copper Voice Coil and Polyamide Former withstand the most rigorous use while maintaining extremely low distortion for bass punch and output. Dual 4-ohm Voice Coils: This woofer features dual 4-ohm voice coils that offer wiring flexibility. When the voice coils are wired in parallel, the woofer presents a 2-ohm load. When wired in series, the woofer presents an 8-ohm load. Carbon Composite Basket: The woofer's carbon composite basket is lightweight and will not flex during music audio peaks. Nickel Plated Heavy Duty Input Terminals: Nickel plated heavy duty input spring-post terminals accommodate speaker wire up to 8 AWG or twisted pairs of 12 AWG. Preconditioning Period: Mobile Monitor subwoofers will achieve even greater performance once they are thoroughly broken in. To break in your new MM subwoofer, play 20 to 30 hours of music at moderate levels. Marine Certified Woofer: Polk MM Series speakers are built to withstand exposure to moisture and UV rays, so they work well in boats and cars. They also include stainless mounting hardware for corrosion and rust resistance. Enclosure Compatibility Recommended Sealed Box Volume: Polk recommends mounting this woofer in a sealed enclosure made out of 3/4" MDF with an internal volume of 0.88 cu/ft. Recommended Ported Box Volume: Polk recommends a ported enclosure made out of 3/4" MDF with an ideal internal volume of 1.58 cu/ft using a slot port measuring 13.5" wide x 1.5" tall x 18.5" deep.

Packs a lot of punch. Still need to tweek, but so far very tight sounding. Pros: Well built Was this review helpful? Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 5 out of 5 Polk 1240 DVC Written By Nathan, Minot, ND on Sunday, December 16, 2012 If you are on the market for a subwoofer that plays flawlessly in all fields then look no further! I installed two of these in my 2007 impala paired with the Polk PA 1200.1, words cannot describe how these things can preform! They literally rattled my rear view mirror off the windshield! The sound quality of these subwoofers is absolutely superb, I have owned and heard many other brands but none of them have came even close to Polk as far as price and quality. Before you buy you need to make sure that the box you are using is exactly the size that polk recommends on their website, I have made this mistake and sacrificed a lot of sound quality. Also, please be prepared these subwoofers are very power hungry i was feeding them nearly 600 watts each, that being said look into a dry cell battery or a higher output alternator because you will need it if you plan on using more then one of these! The bottom line, you cannot go wrong with this product! Pros: Loud, very good sound quality, hits very good lows Cons: Very power hungry Was this review helpful? Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 5 out of 5 Stop looking now, and buy the Polk Audio MM1240D!!!! Written By KennyE, Stapleton, NE on Tuesday, June 05, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I spent 17 years in audio electronics retail in my younger years and have heard and installed hundreds of different subs over that time. I purchased the Polk Audio MM1240D for my daughter's Blazer. She wanted subs but didn't want the cargo area cluttered with a large enclosure. I've used RF, Kenwood and JL drivers in the past, but couldn't find a 12" sub that would work in a small sealed box that fit the budget. After doing a LOT of research, I decided to try the Polk. I am familiar with the brand, but never have I owned or sold it. Recomended enclosure size is .88 cu/ft, which worked great in the custom fiberglass enclosure I built for the passenger rear corner of the cargo area. I purchased a Kenwood KAC-8105 digital mono amplifier to drive the single sub. Rated power handling for the Polk is just under 400w/rms and the Kenwood amp is rated @ 400w/rms into a 2 ohm load. Wired the dual, 4 ohm voice coils in parallel for a 2 ohm load, perfect match to the amp. Once I completed construction of the enclosure and had everything installed, the sound quality REALLY impressed me. It has a long excursion which allows it to operate well in the sealed box. Bass was hard and tight with 80's rock and country music that I prefer, but also handled the mind numbing hip hop and rap crap my daughter listens to. Two of these with a pair of these amps would be unreal! Crutchfield offers this at a discounted price which makes it a bargain. I would recommend this to anyone. Pros: No-nonsense design, no huge plastic crap around a tiny magnet structure like so many manufacturers have today, quality wire terminals and comes with a substantial gasket to seal to the box. SMALL sealed enclosure size. Shallow mounting depth. Sounds FANTASTIC!!! I pushed this thing as hard as I could and never once did it complain. Cons: Bought the matching Polk speaker grill and wasn't crazy about the way it fit. It doesn't fit down over the basket rim as I had expected it would. Leaves a 1/4" gap between the grill and the enclosure. Nothing to dislike about the woofer! 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 5 out of 5 These subs hit hard! Written By SethS, Billings, MT on Saturday, April 14, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These subs hit extremely hard. I've heard a lot of different subs and different configurations but just bought two of these and have them hooked up to an infinity kappa one amp and it just blows things away. I was a little skeptical about the price at first but I will now only buy polk audio speakers as they are amazing quality for an amazing price. Pros: Amazing quality at an extremely affordable price. Cons: Wish they came with the grill in the picture. 4 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 5 out of 5 Amazing sub Written By Chris P, Columbus, OH on Sunday, November 06, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have the sub in a .9 cu ft. (after displacement) and filled the box about 1/3 of the way with poly fill. The result is amazing punch and clarity complemented by surprising low end extension. It hits cleaner and lower than my previous db112 (ported). Sub hasn't even been broken in fully and it totally impresses me. I am only giving it 300W for now, but I will be upgrading to the Alpine MRX to give it 500W RMS soon. Pros: Great punch, awesome low end extension. 5 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

UM-Dearborn forms engineering partnership with ALHOSN University in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
December 8, 2010
DEARBORN / Dec. 8, 2010---The University of Michigan-Dearborns College of Engineering and Computer Science is forming a partnership with ALHOSN University in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates that will foster mutual cooperation in education and research as well as support academic and scientific goals at both universities.
The affiliation will provide the framework needed for the faculty of ALHOSN and UM-Dearborn to begin collaborating on ideas while exploring common interests between each others engineering programs.
The cooperative agreement aims to create exchange opportunities for students and faculty as well as collaborative curriculums, programs and teaching materials.
The partnership was celebrated during an official ceremony on Nov. 23 when Prof. Abdul Rahim Sabouni, vice chancellor and CEO of ALHOSN University, visited campus to meet with Chancellor Daniel Little, CECS Dean Subrata Sengupta and Elsayed Orady, professor of industrial and manufacturing systems engineering.
Orady played a key role in cultivating the partnership with ALHOSN University after a visit to its campus earlier this year when he attended an engineering conference in Abu Dhabi.
This cooperative agreement will allow us to build a stronger relationship with ALHOSN faculty members and develop an academic and cultural interchange that focuses on education and research, Orady said.
ALHOSN University is a modern private university in the city of Abu Dhabi, accredited by the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research in the United Arab Emirates open to students from all nationalities. ALHOSN University started offering its academic programs in the 2005, and has been gradually expanding in terms of programs and number of students.
Partnerships like this one are very important to us, said Sengupta. Not only does it strengthen UM-Dearborns international outreach but it also enhances the educational experience of engineering students at our campus and ALHOSN University by giving them another opportunity to study abroad and employ innovative teaching models and state-of-the-art instructional materials at our institutions.
We at ALHOSN University are looking forward to developing this affiliation with UM-Dearborn and to working together on engineering projects that will benefit both universities, said Sabouni. This international collaboration will provide our faculty and students with innovative teaching and research opportunities and to implement our University motto Global Knowledge with Local Vision.

HIV & AIDS Health Center
HIV and AIDS
Who Can Get HIV?
Anyone can get HIV if they engage in certain activities. You may have a higher risk of getting HIV if you:
- Have unprotected sex. This means vaginal or anal intercourse without a condom or oral sex without a latex barrier with a person infected with HIV.
- Share needles to inject drugs or steroids with an infected person. The disease can also be transmitted by dirty needles used to make a tattoo or in body piercing.
- Receive a blood transfusion from an infected person. This is very unlikely in the U.S. and Western Europe, where all blood is tested for HIV infection.
- Are born to a mother with HIV infection. A baby can also get HIV from the breast milk of an infected woman.
If you fall into any of the categories above, you should consider being tested for HIV.
Health care workers are at risk on the job and should take special precautions. Some health care workers have become infected after being stuck with needles containing HIV-infected blood, or less frequently, after infected blood comes into contact with an open cut or through splashes into the worker's eyes or inside his or her nose.
HIV Tests
The only way to know if you have HIV is to take an HIV test. Most tests looks for signs of HIV in your blood. A small sample of blood is taken from your arm. The blood is sent to a lab and tested for HIV.
Clinics that do HIV tests keep your test results secret. Some clinics even perform HIV tests without ever taking your name (anonymous testing). You must go back to the clinic to get your results. A positive test means that you have HIV. A negative test means that no signs of HIV were found in your blood.
Before taking an HIV test:
- Ask the clinic what privacy rules it follows.
- Think about how knowing you have HIV would change your life.
- Ask your doctor or nurse any questions you have about HIV, AIDS, or the HIV test.
Here's a look at available HIV tests:
Standard tests. These blood tests check for HIV antibodies. Your body makes antibodies in response to the HIV infection. These tests can't detect HIV in the blood soon after infection because it takes time for your body to make these antibodies. It generally takes two to 8 weeks for your body to produce antibodies, but in some cases it can take up to six months.
In standard tests, a small sample of your blood is drawn and sent to a lab for testing. Some of the standard tests use urine or fluids that are collected from the mouth to screen for antibodies.
Rapid antibody tests. Most of these are blood tests for HIV antibodies. Some can detect antibodies in saliva. Results are available in under 30 minutes and are as accurate as standard tests.

With GPS technology, it is now possible to guide a tractor down a field without the operator even having to touch the steering wheel, Allen said. It makes for a more precise tillage pattern, with fertilizer and other inputs used only where they need to be.
Moisture probes placed at the root zone of plants can tell when a field needs to be irrigated and when it doesn't.
Satellite imagery can map the biomass of individual farms, providing a prescriptive approach for the land. Perhaps there is a section of land that doesn't grow well under wet conditions. With the prospects of a wet year on the horizon, the farm's advisors can map a strategy for overcoming the problem in that particular area.
Jason Clay, senior vice president of the World Wildlife Fund, cited the example of Mars Candy Co. working with cocoa producers in West Africa. They had determined that 20 percent of the cocoa trees produced about 80 percent of the crop. So, they mapped the genome of those trees and, through plant breeding, hope to produce four times as much cocoa on 50 percent of the land.
Can we do it? Absolutely!
At the Alltech International Symposium held in May in Lexington, Ky., a number of visionary people gathered to discuss the same challenge of global food production.
The consensus was yes, agriculture can keep up with a growing world population.
It's absolutely possible, says Mark Lyons, vice president of corporate affairs at Alltech. "At the same time, we would say that a lot of the technologies around today may not be the ones that will make this great leap for us," he says.
New technologies, such as nutrigenomics, will become increasingly important.
With nutrigenomics, it will be possible to influence or control genetic expression in animals. Certain feed ingredients will be able to switch on genes in the animals, leading to improved production.
For example, "we can produce more meat more efficiently," Lyons said.
It will revolutionize nutrition, said Karl Dawson, chief scientific officer at Alltech.
"You're going to see more changes in nutrition in the next 10 years than you have seen in the last century," Dawson said.
Political will
While technology appears to have unlimited potential, the outcome of the food issue will ultimately hinge on government policy.
Will governments around the world embrace the new technology? Will certain governments ease up on the restrictions they have placed on genetically modified food?

What better sound looks like
Lifelike audio and lightweight comfort. These on-ear headphones give you both, at home or on the move. Put them on and rediscover your favorite music with more nuances, deeper lows and clearer highs than you may have ever noticed. And the sleek, slim design looks great, too.

We're talking about a democratic awakening. We're talking about raising political consciousness, so it spills over; all parts of the country so people can begin to see what's going on through a different set of lens. And then you begin to highlight what the more detailed demands would be, because in the end we're really talking about what Martin King would call a revolution; a transfer of power from oligarchs to every day people of all colors, and that is a step-by-step process. It's a democratic process, it's a non-violent process, but it is a revolution, because these oligarchs have been transferring wealth from poor and working people at a very intense rate in the last 30 years, and getting away with it, and then still smiling in our faces and telling us it's our fault. That's a lie, and this beautiful group is a testimony to that being a lie.
When you get the makings of a U.S. autumn responding to the Arab Spring, and is growing and growing—-I hope it spills over to San Francisco and Chicago and Miami and Phoenix, Arizona, with our brown brothers and sisters, hits our poor white brothers and sisters in Appalachia—-so. it begins to coalesce. And I tell you, it is sublime to see all the different colors, all the different genders, all the different sexual orientations and different cultures, all together here in Liberty Plaza; there's no doubt about it."—
Cornel West, interview. Democracy Now!, 29 September 2011
A good response to people who keep demanding that the OWS protestors draw up some sort of platform of demands. That rarely happens in the early stages of liberation movements. At the moment, it's about raising the consciousness of everyday Americans who have thus far accepted the notion that the U.S. is a democratic, fair, and equal society. It may be a strange notion to most Americans, but our country is one that—like the countries involved in the Arab Spring—is crying out for a democratic revolution.

Heart of Snarkness
|is: Rock and Roll, baseball, comics, hockey, video games, education, animal rights, SoCal, grammar, raising chickens, examples of my social ineptitude, and the pratfalls of interacting with females, all with a healthy dose of snark. At least that's the plan. UPDATE: I do not usually post personal whining, so I guess interesting stories about MY experiences with women are mostly out, but I do reblog funny stuff from anyone else. Political tidbits are fair game; anything for a laugh, really. If it makes me smile or makes me angry I'll put it up here. So, snark is promised and shall be delivered. I'm a health nut and a vegetarian for six years now, so veggie stuff may pop up here as well. Also, I like to write, in case you didn't notice.

Click through to read their stories.
Bryan Batt, performer and original cast member of Jeffrey, Cats and the AMC series "Mad Men."
I have had the good fortune of having several pivotal moments where I was completely overwhelmed with pride and joy: The Supreme Court's decision on June 26, Obama's inaugural speech, being a part of the play and film Jeffrey, standing center stage on Broadway singing "I Am What I Am" in La Cage aux Folles, or when I helped a very troubled teen with coming to terms with his sexuality despite his religiously confused parents.
But the most wonderful moment I can recall is something someone else did. I was riding with the cast on the Jeffrey float in my first Gay Pride Parade, and I had just officially told my mom and brother of my sexuality, although my conservative brother had suspected all along and said, "Thank God, I thought you weren't getting any!" Anyway, I still had many questions. Marriage, same-sex benefits, or even equal rights had never even been a part of the equation – a new world was opening up – to be completely free, you must be honest. My parents had not raised me to be a liar, so out I went. Although the parade passed the haters across from St. Patrick's Cathedral, when we got further into the Village, I saw this elderly lady who reminded me of my late grandmother holding a big sign that read "Love, however expressed, is a beautiful thing."
I suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of peace and contentment and pride. It was almost as if she was giving me her blessing from above. I knew then that I would be just fine.

A group of 20 investors has filed a $5.1 million lawsuit against a Scotts Valley investment company that faces criminal charges from the FBI, alleging that a prominent local bank assisted the company in securities fraud.
Filed March 21 in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, the suit claims investment adviser John Geringer and two partners, Chris Luck and Keith Rode, ran a Ponzi scheme under the Scotts Valley company they owned called GLR Capital Management.
The suit claims they were helped by Chuck Maffia, a vice president of Santa Cruz County Bank in Scotts Valley, and alleges that the bank aided and abetted fraud, conspired to commit fraud, aided and abetted a breach of fiduciary duty, misrepresented the investment and violated the Securities Act.
It also claims GLR conspired to commit fraud and violated the Securities Act.
The plaintiffs claim more than $5.1 million in losses.
Among the plaintiffs are eight Scotts Valley residents and a dozen others who live in Santa Cruz, Los Gatos, Lompoc, Bishop and South Carolina.
Geringer, Luck and Rode already face criminal charges from the FBI, which claims that they defrauded 90 investors of $60 million between 2003 and 2012.
The FBI did not name Maffia or Santa Cruz County Bank in the criminal charges filed Dec. 20.
In addition to naming the 20 investors who are taking part in the legal action, the suit details the amount of money each invested with GLR.
The suit describes each investor's situation and explains how each one was solicited by Geringer and Luck to invest in the fund.
According to testimony included in the suit, Maffia was listed as a reference on GLR marketing materials and spoke with many of the investors, recommending the fund as a "safe, conservative investment vehicle that had never sustained any losses."
The suit claims Maffia oversaw GLR's accounts at Santa Cruz County Bank and would have known fraud was being committed.
It also claims that GLR's actual investments were different from those reported in marketing materials.
According to the suit, Geringer told investors that nearly 75 percent of the fund was invested in public equities on the S&P 100 and 500, NASDAQ and Dow Jones indices.
Instead, at least $29 million of the $60 million purportedly raised — was invested in two private technology companies, of which Luck was a board member, the suit claims. Other money was used to pay Geringer, Luck and Rode and repay investors who withdrew their money from the fund, in the fashion of a Ponzi scheme.
The suit also claims that GLR falsified account statements and tax documents to show gains of 17 percent to 25 percent each year from 2003 to 2011. The fund actually lost money each year and entirely pulled out of the markets in 2009, according to the suit.
The president and CEO of Santa Cruz County Bank, David V. Heald, said the bank accepts no responsibility for the actions of GLR. He said Maffia remains a bank employee.
"We sympathize with the individuals and families who suffered a loss with GLR. It is an extremely unfortunate situation," Heald wrote in an email to the Press-Banner on Tuesday, April 2. "Santa Cruz County Bank and our employees are in no way at fault or responsible for any wrongdoing or loss in this matter."
Heald said the bank's practice was not to comment further on outstanding litigation.
The suit was filed by a Burlingame law firm, Cotchett, Pitre & McCarthy LLP.
According to Phil Gregory, a member of the firm, most of the 20 investors did not know each other but joined together as plaintiffs.
"They contacted us — some of them did," Gregory said. "Others heard about the suit and contacted us."
Gregory said GLR and the bank have until April 22 to respond to the complaint.
"A defendant like Geringer will be encouraged to cooperate (in the investigation), because cooperation with the victim is viewed favorably when the matter comes up (in court)," Gregory said.
Gregory said he was notified that Geringer was served with the suit on Monday, April 1.

|Great Product (5/5)
|Mar 29, 2014
|Washington DC US
|I agree that this is a very solid product and rather inexpensive. If you're baking regularly, it's worth the small investment. If you rinse and dry the blade off after use (to remove any lingering dough) the blade will remain sharper, longer.
|Great and unbeatable price (5/5)
|May 30, 2012
|Gary L Nelson
|Little Rock Ar US
|These blades are of superior quality - even better the price is better than I can find anywhere locally including Grocery store or Walmart. The extra cool thing is that the corners are numbered so you can keep up with which corner you have used. I'm ordering 10 more boxes. I wish they had a box of 50 or 100.

I live in Georgia (US) y'all;
Believe Duke Ellington said it best, " There are only two types of music--good and bad." I also believe your definition of good and bad can change with the day.
I play bass guitar;
look at spreadsheets all day;
smoke cigars and pipes too much;
love a good single malt or a Guinness;
ride a Harley, but love all styles of motorcycles;
have tattoos;
read voraciously;
and like dramas and sci-fi movies
(if it has vampires, demons, angels, some religious angle, and happens to be post-apocalyptic then bonus points!)
( If it has a hobbit--then double bonus points!)
