Managing orchard fertility is about more than just fertilizer. The fact is your orchard soil is a giant digestive engine, chewing up carbon, nitrogen, and minerals to feed not only your trees but the soil food web. In this workshop, we'll discuss the basics of understanding your soil so you can better understand what's going on right under your feet, the mineral connection, and what you can do to improve the soil's health and overall vitality to grow better fruit. We discuss the basics of soil chemistry, physical characteristics, and soil biology. We'll interpret soil tests, leaf analyses, go over some basics methods to assess your overall soil health, soil respiration, soil aggregate stability, and more. If you have soil or leaf tissue sample that you'd like to look at, bring them along.

Conservation Success Begins Locally
Cradled by the looming curves of the Green Mountains to the west and the rocky spine of the Worcester Range to the east, Stowe is a thriving community patchwork of small farms, forestland, rural residences, and mountain recreation destinations. As land use changes over time and population increases, however, degradation to vital natural resources can be misunderstood or overlooked. Innovations in land protection and responsible stewardship by farmers can help change this.
For over 70 years, the Kaiser family has owned and operated an iconic farm, nestled into the scenic Nebraska Valley in Stowe. Christine Kaiser has been producing eggs, pork, chicken, and milk here for decades. Christine is ready to retire as new owners, Andrew and Annie Paradee, start a new farm tradition on the land.
Christine and the Paradees had help from Vermont Land Trust and Stowe Land Trust, who raised over $372,000 to purchase a conservation easement and facilitated the sale of the farm at its lower agricultural value. The new operation will offer vegetables, pork, and eggs available for on-farm purchase by community members and improve the woods for sugaring.
"It was important for Christine to know who was buying the farm," Annie Paradee pointed out. "It was a hard process and she persevered to make sure it got preserved." Stowe Land Trust discovered that Christine wanted to sell her farm through a post on Front Porch Forum and opened a conversation with her about conserving the land. Meanwhile, Christine approached the Paradees, a local couple interested in starting a farm of their own. She wanted to make sure the land would be passed down to local farmers with a vigorous conservation plan and existing ties within the community. After many months of legal talks and fundraising for the conservation easement, the farm was officially sold on April 29th.
A Legacy of Sustainable Farming
"It is still hard to believe that the farm is really ours now," said Andrew, watching their dog, Waffles, run and roll excitedly in the field. The Paradees' work on the farm has already begun. A quarter of an acre has been tilled for vegetables, and they plan on planting up to half an acre. The Paradees want to rotationally graze all of their animals, so they have started to construct a mobile chicken coop on an old hay wagon. The new farmers also plan to continue Christine's legacy of environmental conservation.
"We want to focus on maintaining and improving rather than using the land," said Annie. "We have a big responsibility to take care of it." Four solar panels stand tall, visible from the road before the farm is. The Paradees plan to use this renewable energy to power greenhouses to extend the growing season, as well as to light their home and other buildings. They plan to use a composted bedded pack to minimize nutrient runoff and create fertile soil for their hay and pasture lands. Their blend of conventional and heritage breed animals will be pastured and fed organic feed only.
Explaining the choice to support more heritage breed livestock and crops, Annie quoted Barbara Kingsolver, "You can't save the whales by eating whales, but paradoxically, you can help save rare, domesticated foods by eating them. They're kept alive by gardeners who have a taste for them, and farmers who know they'll be able to sell them."
Innovative Water Quality Management
With community members concerned about sediment and nutrient loads from local farms, roadways, and other development draining into Stowe's waterways and Lake Champlain, a focus on river conservation was imperative for this farm conservation project. This property contains 12 acres and 3200 feet of frontage on the Miller Brook, an especially important inlet to the Little River and consequently, Lake Champlain. The new farm plan for the property maps out how this stream will be conserved forever.
Riverside property has long been sought after for businesses and homeowners alike. As waterfront investments increased, towns and landowners built barriers, berms, and armor that protect the surrounding development from flooding and erosion. Over time, however, this method has created massive flooding and erosion events downstream.
Rivers are wiggly, meandering creatures at heart. Water moves at different speeds on either side of the river, and curves tend to become curvier as sediment is picked up on the inside curve and deposited on the outside curve. When left alone, the river will eventually form many 'C' shapes. The energy of the water can dissipate around this curve, and it can access the broader floodplain in a high water event. Once the 'C' gets closer to an 'O' shape, it is easier for the water to run in a straight line again, cutting through the top and bottom of the curve. This cycle keeps the balance between land and river in equilibrium.
When the natural curving of the river is restricted, the energy has nowhere to dissipate. The stream surges on, maintaining its energy until it eventually causes destruction somewhere downstream. This also reduces the possibility of soil creation, as fast moving water carries sediment away and into large basins like Lake Champlain instead of settling out in fertile floodplains.
The conservation easement, secured by Stowe Land Trust and Vermont Land Trust, will ensure that at least 50 feet on either side of the Miller Brook will remain forested and the river channel will be allowed to meander within its natural corridor without interference. Luckily, Christine's past participation in the USDA's Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program has already allowed a forested river corridor to generate. The Paradees are excited to keep up the buffer.
"We can't change the natural stabilizers of the river," explains Annie Paradee, "it has to go where it has to go." The continued forestation of the river's 'meander belt' will do far more than allow the stream to curve. Wildlife is drawn to native vegetation and the vertical diversity of a land gone wild. Roots will soak up water, nitrogen, and phosphorus, filtering the runoff water from the surrounding farm and watershed, while reducing the risk of soil erosion in events of high water. Continuing to protect watersheds, streams, and rivers will allow many rivers that are currently unstable to settle into equilibrium.
Stowe Land Trust is a small, member-supported, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to the conservation of scenic, recreational, and productive farm and forest lands for the benefit of the greater Stowe community. https://www.stowelandtrust.org/
The conservation of the Long Winter Farm is a significant step forward for Stowe towards working with-not armoring against- the river that runs through it. The Paradees will continue to use responsible and sustainable practices to leave the land even better than they found it.

The arrangement of vegetable fields into a bed layout with permanent growing areas and separate wheeltracks (alleys) has several advantages. In contrast to systems in which beds are re-formed every year, compaction from tractor tires is confined to the non-cropped area. Beds can be managed individually by crop which simplifies planning. The beds may also be raised compared to the alleys if necessary, allowing them to dry out earlier for timely planting in spring.
These advantages can be augmented by leaving the alleys in permanent grass sod. Such grass strips between the beds allow workers to be in a clean area without mud, provide beneficial insect habitat, help dry the growing beds out earlier by transpiring water, reduce the tilled area, and build soil carbon. However, the grass strips need to be managed to prevent too much growth and consequent competition with the cash crops and the buildup of perennial weeds. These negative aspects have thwarted many organic vegetable farmers who have attempted to implement permanent beds with grass strips. Blue Heron Farm in Lodi, NY is one of the few who succeed with this approach. How do they do it?
First, some background. Lou Johns and Robin Ostfeld started Blue Heron Farm near Olympia, WA in 1981. They bought a semi-abandoned 150 acre farm, mostly wooded, and moved to Lodi, NY in 1986. They started over in their New York location where the soil was fairly productive but had drainage issues. The heavy traffic of vegetable production took its toll over the first several seasons. Compaction was an issue due to high clay content soils and shallow topsoil layer and likely to get worse. Lou and Robin had been thinking about a system of permanent beds with grass alleys, and perhaps this was a good opportunity to try it out. They had read and studied about the soil, and knew that good soil stewardship was key to productivity on their certified organic farm. Experts and other farmers, however, were not optimistic about the grass strip approach.
By 1995 Lou and Robin were ready to embark on a radical idea. At this point they were growing about 12 acres of cash and cover crops. They laid out one of the three main crop fields in a pattern of 70" wide beds separated by strips just wide enough for the tractor tires. The "grass" strips were simply left to grow whatever grasses and weeds emerged. Beds were flat, not raised, because managing the sides of raised beds was problematical. They had their tractor axles extended to straddle such wide beds, which equaled the width tilled by their rototiller. And thus the 5-year process of converting the whole farm began.
Results were good enough to continue, though it took 10 years before their soils reached their full potential. In those first years of permanent beds, they encountered difficulty keeping the bed edges even with the sod strips. Uneven edges and stones thrown into the strips made mowing difficult, and ruined many lawnmowers. They welded plates onto their tiller to keep stones and soil in, and added spider gangs from Lilliston cultivator units to smooth the soil gently back toward the bed during tillage. (The spider gangs have since been removed and additional shielding has been added to the end plates of the tiller. These now contain all the soil and stones worked by the tiller in the bed.) Similar modifications were made to cultivators to maintain the bed edges. Also over the years, they widened the sod strips substantially. This allowed use of a riding mower on the widest ones, which was most useful in spring when the grass grew rapidly.
By 2010, roughly 1/3 of each field was taken up by the grass strips. Lou and Robin felt that the benefits of the strips and the high productivity of the beds more than justified that apparent "loss" of growing area. The permanent beds were easy to track for crop rotation purposes, which was important given the high diversity of crops that Blue Heron Farm grew, often with multiple planting dates.
It is hard to know which aspects are fundamental for the success of this integrated system. Certainly, the equipment modifications enabling management of bed edges and weeds were critical. The farm uses overhead irrigation, so sod strips receive water as well as the crop beds—thus sod roots are not robbing moisture from the beds. Compost applications to the beds are fairly high. Nothing is applied to the strips, but the sod's roots probably scavenge nutrients from the beds. It is possible that the wide 70" beds are optimal to prevent sod roots from competing much with cash crops. When the strips are mown, clippings are usually blown into the beds, capturing nutrients and organic matter in the beds. Wood chips are present in the compost applied to the beds, which has likely improved water-holding capacity over time. Cover crops are used heavily, and beds are put into a grass/legume fallow every 10 years or so. All of these aspects may contribute to good results from this system.
The downsides of this system are the time required to mow the grass strips, and also the high level of skill needed to till and prepare the beds. Lou does all of the prep work. Over the years they upgraded to 4 wheel drive tractors which track straighter than 2 wheel. They maintain multiple mowers, and in May, it is often hard to keep up with the mowing. It is also possible that during very dry weather, the sod strips may reduce overall moisture in the fields, increasing the need for irrigation. These negative management factors are counterbalanced by the ease of working in the fields—plenty of room for workers, a clean area to put boxes and bunches of produce ready for packing, and no slogging through mud to move irrigation pipe. In very wet periods, nearby sod roots may actually help beds dry out more quickly.
However, the overriding factor may be persistence. Lou says, "Recognize the benefit of being persistent and focused on your goals. Don't give up too soon, but do stop and look at what you are doing and decide if it is worth it to continue on this path. Give yourself enough time to carry out your goals. Good results take time." Lou and Robin were convinced that their approach would yield rewards after they worked out the kinks.
A similar mentality governs crop practices on their farm. Cover crops are used extensively and with the sod strips, the soil is covered by green growing plants for almost all of the year. Two practices set them apart. Blue Heron Farm grows many July-planted storage crops including carrots and brassicas. These usually follow overwintered cover crops. Often the problem in this situation is that the cover crops reach maturity and threaten to set seed before the cash crops are ready to be planted. Lou and Robin devised a novel practice of mowing to solve this problem and get the most growth out of their cover crops. Cover crops (often a mix of wheat, vetch, and Austrian winter peas) are allowed to get 3' tall, typically in late May, then flail mowed at a height of 1'. The regrowth is dominated by legumes and is again mowed about a foot high. The second regrowth is again dominated by the legumes. When it gets to a foot or so, it is mowed close to the soil level. All of the residue is then tilled in roughly. After a week or so, it is tilled again for July transplants. Timing can be altered a bit to allow for the extra tillage needed to produce a fine seedbed for root crops. Using this approach, cover crops are growing, covering the soil, fixing nitrogen and adding organic matter until shortly before planting. Bare fallow periods are eliminated.
Another remarkable practice is how Blue Heron Farm manages asparagus. For many organic asparagus growers, weeds are a constant struggle. Blue Heron overcomes this problem, again with cover crops.
Reduced tillage takes many forms. This story is the 4th in a series featuring organic vegetable growers that have transitioned to reduced tillage systems toward greater farm sustainability. Experienced growers at diverse scales are developing reduced tillage strategies for tackling weeds, managing rotations and cover crops, and incorporating amendments. Look for past and future SFQ issues to learn the practices that are helping these growers build better soils. Contact Ryan Maher of the Cornell Small Farms Program for more information on this project: email@example.com
In early spring before emergence if weather allows, the asparagus beds are tilled lightly to a depth of about 3". This does not harm the crop. Harvest proceeds normally. After the harvest is over, beds are again tilled shallowly, killing weeds but again not harming the asparagus crowns. The next day, a cover crop mix of soybeans, hairy vetch, field peas, and buckwheat is drilled to fill the beds. This mix, with asparagus ferns growing above, is left for the rest of the season. When the asparagus ferns yellow, the entire mass is flail mowed. It is roughly tilled in if time allows. Similar to their novel cover crop mowing regime, this process controls weeds, grows biomass, adds some fixed legume nitrogen, and protects the soil over winter.
Lou and Robin created a productive and profitable vegetable production system for Blue Heron Farm. They put together the pieces within a vision of improving soil health and managing their challenging soil moisture regime. Part of this was reducing tillage only to crop bed areas while maintaining soil-enhancing sod strips throughout their fields. Field traffic never compacts the beds. Beneficial insects live in the strips right next to the crops. They manage cover crops intensively and a high percentage of their land is covered in winter. All these practices result in a beautiful, viable, and sustainable farm.]]>
Certified Naturally Grown (CNG), a grassroots organization that offers peer-review certification fordirect-market farmers and beekeepers, is launching a Mushroom certification program in May 2016.Nearly 800 farmers and beekeepers throughout the United States are CNG certified, mostly for produce,but also for their livestock, apiary, and aquaponics operations.
In recent years, CNG staff noticed a rise in applications from mushroom producers. It became apparent that the CNG produce standards didn't adequately address the particulars of mushroom production, as they're tailored for soil-based farming.
With assistance from an Advisory Council of experts, CNG crafted a set of standards specific to mushroom production. These standards cover all aspects of indoor and outdoor mushroom production,including substrate materials, pest control and disease management, water, substrate disposal,sterilizing and pasteurizing substrate, and containers. They are posted online at CNGfarming.org/mushrooms, where visitors can register for updates. The complete program will launch in Summer, 2016. Applications will be taken online, and the peer-inspections will be carried out by fellow producers. Learn more at CNGfarming.org.]]>

Skip to comments.Republicans in House Battle Turmoil in Their Ranks
Posted on 02/10/2011 6:02:41 AM PST by pgkdan
WASHINGTON Under pressure to make deeper spending cuts and blindsided by embarrassing floor defeats, House Republican leaders are quickly discovering the limits of control over their ideologically driven and independent-minded new majority.
For the second consecutive day, House Republicans on Wednesday lost a floor vote due to a mini-revolt, this time over a plan to demand a repayment from the United Nations. Earlier in the day, members of the partys conservative bloc used a closed-door party meeting to push the leadership to go well beyond its plans to trim about $40 billion from domestic spending and foreign aid this year, demanding $100 billion or more
(Excerpt) Read more at nytimes.com ...
And well you should!
But Mr. Rogers (Hal Rodgers,R)and other Republicans warned that doubling the cuts could have substantial consequences for federal agencies, resulting in layoffs and furloughs of federal law enforcement officers and air traffic controllers, steep cuts in education and medical research programs and major changes at the Food and Drug Administration.
Ummmm...that's the idea numnutz!
For those of you who think this new Freshman Class is just more of the same, please click on the link and read the whole article. Our guys are standing up for what's right and they're not going to be pushed around.
Right and we should believe in what comes out of the New York Times??
They need to mount a revolt and try to elect someone like Bachmann as the speaker. Boehner is just another entrenched Washington elitist. He may be a lot more conservative than Pelosi, but so was Karl Marx.
Don't fall for it.
"the partys conservative bloc used a closed-door party meeting to push the leadership to go well beyond its plans to trim about $40 billion from domestic spending and foreign aid this year, demanding $100 billion or more"
I say MORE, a lot MORE—how about cutting 500 billion now and then really bring out the meat cleaver for the next fiscal year. Eliminate the Dept. of Energy, Dept. of Ed., HUD, HHS, Homeland InSecurity, Civil Rights Division of the Dept. of InJustice, EPA, etc., etc.
If we keep going the way we're going, we won't be able to afford them later. Either we do it now or we do it later. The American people understand if we don't bring spending under control, their children won't have a future.
Battle? Turmoil? Pelosi/Marx?
"Mr. Rogers (Hal Rodgers,R)and other Republicans warned that doubling the cuts could have substantial consequences for federal agencies, resulting in layoffs and furloughs of federal law enforcement officers and air traffic controllers, steep cuts in education and medical research programs and major changes at the Food and Drug Administration."
Hal Rodgers and his ilk are Dim Light—they are big government Republicans, like Bush, and are the ones who have done so much to weaken the Republican party.
Rodgers and his buddies need to go in 2012. They are part of the problem rather than the solution.
I am for that. New Leadership is needed not the Three Amigos these so called Young Guns are turning out to be.
The NYT is trying to foment unrest....granted the RINOs are putting up as much of a rear guard fight as they can, they are being over taken in a quiet revolution.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the aisle, and one the NYT refuses to lambast, the dems are killing off any movement to the center. Nothing could be better for the country than for the dem party to be exposed as a bunch of wide eyed free spending socialists.
The Revolution Will Not Be Televised.
This demonstrates that before the battle with the liberalism found in the Democratic Party, the first war is to blow up the current GOP and return it to true conservative principles, not big government Republicanism.
When we budget, we cut things regardless of if we WANT them because that is the responsible way to spend OTHER PEOPLE's money.
First of all where in the Constitution does it authorize Congress to fund education or medical research programs? And so what if there are drastic changes. American citizens are forced to make drastic changes every time Congress passes a new law.
By definition, every law that is passed is another Liberty that is lost.
"Either we do it now or we do it later."
Right on! Good budgeting during difficult times is always going to bring pain.
Everyone knows by now that advice to the R's from the NYT is like Sitting Bull advising Custer on battle strategy.
The problem here is the sorry ass leadership of the republicans in congress. It needs to be changed.
Problem is, conservatives even on FR still get taken in.
I remember back in '08 how the NYT snookered millions of conservatives into believing in the Mark Foley gay "scandal" (including the majority here on FR).
The NYT and their minions split the party and gay San Fran Nan got the Speaker chair largely as a result of that Oct "surprise".
From the New York SLIMES comes more "Wishful Thinking," and their never ending quest to diss Conservatives in an effort to mislead and make a mountain out of a molehill as they work dilligently (albeit misguidedly cuz it ain't gonna' happen) towards what they would pine for in 2012; a return to Demo-Rat Control.
Budget issues and rolling back decades of failed progressive programs is going take some time.
2010 brought in the first wave of fiscal conservatives and they are battling entrenched career politicians from both parties. The fight is on but we are not getting all the info due to a very frightened GOP Old Guard and a severely tainted Media.
It will be at least a couple more election cycles before their are enough new bloods to start turning the progressive tide.
We need to SUPPORT the freshman class of GOP/Tea Party conservatives while preparing to weed out RINO's in 2012.
One step at a time.
Im all for getting rid of boner. Just a continuation of what got us where we are. Id put a rabblerouser like michelle in charge too.
Agreed. The Old Guard's been a surprised by the Freshmen's willingness to flex their muscles. Good. We need fundemental change to the business as usual budgeting mentality that exists in DC today. The status quo is not sustainable and we need change NOW! Looks to me like our new Reps realize that and are willing to fight for it...fight their own leadership if need be.
The first is from Yahoo news yesterday, and now this from the Times. And notice in the Times article, it shows a picture of Boenher, Cantor, and McCarthy leaving the WH after the lunch with the enemy yesterday. As far as I can see that image has nothing what-so-ever to do with the content of this article. Why put it there? imo, the phrases, the images etc are designed to inflame and it is a concerted effort.
We're going to be bombarded with this type of rhetoric and they (MSM) will try their level best to orchestrate a problem where no problem exist, which should surprise noone.
Outside of a few... the old timer republicans in the House are just as responsible for our debt as the dims... so it is great that new blood is drawing blood... THIS IS WAR!
As for as the NYT sowing disunity among the GOP ranks...good! We need a little disunity!!! The leadership needs to know that they can NOT take our votes for granted and they're getting that message loud and clear. If the NYT is happy about that...who cares? It will make US stronger in the long run.
Now there's a trade agreement...Trade American jobs for what??? For whom??? And then pay the former workers with tax payer's money for not working...
And the morons can't figure out why someone would object to that...
STILL, a drop in the bucket! Zero has added TRILLIONS in the last two years. We need to be talking about cuts that are approaching 1 TRILLION, if not more!
Well part of the problem here is the assumption that conservatives view Republicans as any more trustworthy then the NYT's. We don't. I might even slightly take the NYT's over the word of a Republican is only because if there is something Republicans don't want out there because it would hurt them with the base I know the NYT's will gleefully report it.
I'm not naive to their reporting though. As eager as they are to destroy Republicans they frequently make up facts too. Except numerous ideological outlets have reported the failed floor votes.
They are reporting them as a bad thing of course. I see it as nothing but a positive.
It is going to take a while for them to find their way, said Representative John B. Larson of Connecticut, chairman of the Democratic Caucus. For so many of their new members, discipline within the party and allegiance to a party doesnt mean an awful lot.
This is the kind of entrenched attitude I hate and I hope the freshman aren't corrupted by it and "find their way" to screwing us over like the establishment has so often done.
Bills should not be expediated. They should be read in full, debated,and voted accordingly. If I ad my way and I believe te leadership made vague promises to the effect that bills would no longer be lumped together but voted issue by issue. They promised to make 100B in cuts and while that is small it's a start and they should keep their word. Still hoping for mutiny on passing a rise in the debt ceiling.
I would like to correct the NYT's. The Republicans were not successful in making cutting the budget an issue. The People made it an issue.
The Times no doubt loves Republican fractiousness. But I might remind them that fights, especially over fundamental issues, is a sign of life. The party is ALIVE with turmoil, while Democrats are moribund.
I thought it was supposed to Michelle Bachman's job and she got doublecrossed out of it by the power elite.
is a sign of life = are a sign of life
in typical fashion, the NY Times neglects to tell you that these were being voted on under suspension of the rules, which requires a 2/3 majority. And that gave plenty of Democrats who had previously voted Aye a chance to flip-flop and create some mischef. Both items will likely pass with a simple majority under normal procedures. Not a good sign though that Boehner apparently never saw this coming.
"They need to mount a revolt and try to elect someone like Bachmann as the speaker. Boehner is just another entrenched Washington elitist."
Right, and, given his performance (i.e. crying), he hasn't even delivered the only benefit of entrenched figures: namely, respect and esteem.
I guess you forgot to read what I said about the Mark Foley "disunity" which the NYT fomented.
It got us FOUR YEARS of San Franciso leading the nation.
No thanks...I won't buy into the NYT tactics.
Yes, the media is flogging a Dem meme- as usual.
Look at this:
" House Republicans on Wednesday lost a floor vote due to a mini-revolt, this time over a plan to demand a repayment from the United Nations."
Duh 2 Rs voted nay. 2 is a 'mini-revolt' LOL!
Rather obvious the media knows they're using Dem votes to cry the meme of "Republican disarray".
Are you suggesting that it's ok for sitting Congressmen to make homosexual advances at young teenage pages?

In spite of a dismal record, Jacob Zuma and the ruling African National Congress will win today's elections, voted in by most of the poor black South Africans for whom little has changed since the country first became democratic in 1994. These failures in government have left most black South Africans still living in appalling poverty, joblessness and homelessness. So how did it come to this?
Until 2005 Zuma (and most of the current ANC leadership) were closely aligned to the failing administration of former President Thabo Mbeki. Then Zuma was fired as deputy president of the country for corruption. Yet the brilliance of his campaign is that he has, in the perception of many poorer black South Africans, managed to successfully disassociate himself from the failures of the Mbeki government.
Zuma has portrayed the ANC as an almost different party altogether, reinventing it as supposedly more "pro-poor" and "democratic", and less "corrupt" – the victors in an epic battle against the "corrupt", pro-business, black middle-class and "pro-white" wing of the ANC as represented by Mbeki.
In doing so, Zuma has tapped into a dramatic change in the mood of South Africa's poor black majority, living in despair in sprawling shanty towns across the country. This group, forgotten by the élite, have now run out of patience, and are demanding the economic dividends of the democracy. For them democracy without its economic fruits is rightly hollow, and this has been at the heart of spontaneous violent protests by poorer black communities against government failure the past few years.
As a "champion" of the poor, meanwhile, Zuma spends more than a million rands a month on his personal security. Of course as the first person to rise to power who has not come from a middle-class background, he is seen as an inspiration, and people have overlooked comments he has made such as that he can see by the way a woman sits that she is looking for sex; that a shower after having unprotected sex with an HIV/Aids infected person can cure one from getting infected; that criminals are granted too much by way of human rights.
Meanwhile in the campaign to drop the corruption charges against Zuma, the ANC leadership have closed down the crack anti-crime unit that brought the charges without consulting parliament, which should have decided the issue. Zuma has daily attacked critical media and judges who ruled against him, last week saying that the country's highest court, the Constitutional Court, is "not God".
In this campaign Zuma has raised expectations among the poor to fever pitch. There have been a lot of promises of new policies and institutions, but little detail, let alone a timetable of when promises will be delivered or the costing of programmes. Not even the Congress of South African Trade Unions, Zuma's ally, has pegged their support to him to meet targets.
South Africa is about to face the full brunt of the global financial crisis. Its economy is likely to lose at least 300,000 jobs this year. Zuma will take over an economy in decline after an almost decade-long boom, with economic growth averaging 5 per cent the past five years. Economic growth dropped to 1.2 per cent this year and is likely to plunge further. Yet neither the ANC nor the opposition parties have proposed any remedies with timeframes on how to tackle the problem.
Zuma is unlikely to have the honeymoon period that previous ANC governments had. If he does not deliver, the poor will turn against him as viciously as he ousted Mbeki. In 2005, members of a poor black township called Khutsong burnt down government buildings, attacked local ANC politicians – who they accused of failing them – in scenes reminiscent of the 1980s apartheid South Africa when black communities in the townships protested government neglect.
There are going to be Khutsongs all over South Africa if Zuma does not deliver immediately. How he responds to such pressure in an economic downturn will determine the future of South Africa. Mbeki did not mind using state institutions to crush such dissent. Zuma's supporters hope and pray he won't do the same or worse. The omens are not good: not yet in power, Zuma has copied many of the bad things of the Mbeki era that he has distanced himself from.

Creating a block library in two clicks
Creating a block library in two clicks
Using tool palettes is a great way to organize your block libraries. However, it can sometimes be a little time consuming dragging each and every block from a drawing onto a palette. In this lesson, we're going to look at a way to create a block library in two clicks. As you can see I've just launched my AutoCAD and I'm sitting in the default Drawing1 file. I'm going to open up the Design Center. Now mine happens to be anchored to the left side of the screen if your Design Center is not visible you can always press Ctrl+2 to turn it on.
Over here on the left side, I am going to navigate to the exercise files folder on my system. I'll click the Plus to open the folder. I'll click Plus to open up chapter_05 and let's take a look at this drawing called arch-furniture. I'm going to click the Plus to navigate into this drawing. Now this drawing contains several blocks that represent interior furnishings. You can see the icons for them right over here. I would like ...

The Sysadmin's Daily Grind: Mail and Queuegraph
Worms, mail bombs, and users who send multiple megabyte Powerpoint files across the wire give Postfix administrators plenty of reasons to view their charges with a critical eye from time to time.
Mailgraph has been giving me useful information for a long while now [1]. It is time to turn the spotlight on this visualization tool for Postfix logfiles and to introduce the related Queuegraph project. Mailgraph [2] is a small footprint daemon that continuously reads the Postfix logfile and shovels the data it gathers into a round robin database (RRD). The front-end is a CGI script that generates a graph based on the RRD data. The program requires the ubiquitous Perl interpreter, RRDTool [3] for the database, and the File::Tail Perl module, which you can obtain from the CPAN archive. The heart of Mailgraph is a Perl script called mailgraph.pl; the daemon I referred to earlier. You can launch the daemon manually, but it makes more sense to add the init script provided by the distribution to run the daemon when you boot your machine. I use the following command to launch Mailgraph:

Deus Ex: HR tops Amazon's digital chart for 2011
On its top-ten bestsellers lists for 2011, Amazon noted a strong digital performance from Deus Ex: Human Revolution, while Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 predictably took top honours in the physical release ranks.
Modern Warfare 3 was far less popular on the digital side, but rival Battlefield 3 performed well in both realms.
While multiplatform titles appear on both lists the digital chart plays host to a number of PC-exclusives, as well as titles more strongly favoured by PC gamers than their console kin, like Crysis 2.
The retailer released both lists to Joystiq, and you can look over them below.
- Physical (all platforms, collector's editions are not included)
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
- Just Dance 3
- Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
- Battlefield 3
- Batman: Arkham City
- Madden NFL 12
- Portal 2
- Just Dance 2
- Gears of War 3
- FIFA Soccer 12

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- It's been a while since Spike Lee could sit courtside at Staples Center with his beloved Knicks in town to play the Los Angeles Lakers with confidence that New York might actually win. Forgive him if he seems a little giddy Sunday night, when the Knicks and the Lakers square off for the first time this season.
The Knicks arrive with a 21-14 record, good for sixth in the Eastern Conference, particularly impressive record given their 3-8 start to the season.
Both teams will enter Sunday's game on a roll. The Lakers have won five of six after losing three straight games by 16 points or more. Phil Jackson, who has preached patience for much of the season, sees improvement.
"We're shooting the ball better," Jackson said Saturday. "That's a significant factor. I'm still not totally pleased with how we're defending, but we're coming along little by little."
The Knicks defeated San Antonio, currently sporting the league's best record, on Tuesday night, then trounced Phoenix on Friday for their third straight win, and second without injured forward Danilo Gallinari, out two to three weeks with a knee injury.
The Lakers will be without reserve forward Matt Barnes, who left Friday's game against New Orleans in the first half with a knee injury. He underwent an MRI on Saturday morning in Los Angeles and was diagnosed with a tear of the lateral meniscus in his right knee. He will
undergo surgery sometime early next week, at which point the team will provide a timetable for his return.
The Lakers did receive good news, though, when backup point guard Steve Blake was able to practice after leaving Friday's game with an injury to his left ankle. He is expected to play Sunday.
Losing Barnes, Jackson said, would hurt, robbing the Lakers of depth and speed, particularly against a quality opponent.
"[New York is] playing at a high level. Their offense is clicking right along, and seemed to go by the Gallinari injury without a hitch," Jackson said. "[Wilson] Chandler and
[Raymond] Felton are playing really well, and the addition of [Amare] Stoudemire has obviously been a big boost.
"If they impose their game on our team, it's going to be a long night for us," Jackson said. "They're going to score a lot of points."
While the quick improvement this season for the Knicks has surprised some, Kobe Bryant isn't among them. He said Saturday that New York's performance is "to be expected." Beyond the high-profile acquisition of Stoudemire, Bryant credited the Knicks for a shrewd move in signing Felton to play the point.
"He's a fantastic player," Bryant said. "Tough defender, good playmaker, can knock big shots. I think that was something that snuck by everybody. Adding Stoudemire, obviously, but picking up Raymond was a huge help."
When the Knicks inked Stoudemire this summer to a five-year, $99.7 million contract, there was some question whether the five-time All-Star, who has missed significant chunks of games thanks to knee and eye injuries over the previous eight years of his career, might represent a health risk or suffer in the absence of Steve Nash, his MVP point guard in Phoenix.
Fair to say Stoudemire has, at the very least, put the latter worry to bed. Averaging 26.3 points, nine rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game, he has injected his name into early MVP talk. Bryant didn't count himself among the doubters.
"He's playing the way I thought he would play. I never bought into the nonsense that Steve makes Amare what Amare is," he said. "It was always kind of silly to me, because he can do everything. So I think he's a deserving candidate for [the award]."
Still, when asked about the MVP chants Stoudemire now hears at the Garden, Bryant, who has heard the same thing in arenas throughout the league -- including in New York -- couldn't help but smile. "They chant MVP at home crowds for anybody. They chant MVP for Earl Boykins in Milwaukee."
Bryant also took the opportunity to offer advice to Denver Nuggets forward Carmelo Anthony, who isfacing a decision about his future and has been linked in a variety of rumors to the Knicks, without recommending a destination. "Do what makes you happy. It's as simple as that. Do what makes you happy. LeBron [James] did it. And obviously the way he went about it pissed a lot of people off, but at the core of his decision was he wanted to do what made him happy. I think Carmelo should do the same thing."

PHILADELPHIA-BPG Properties Ltd. reduced its corporate headcount last week in response to market conditions. The longtime locally based private equity real estate fund manager tells GlobeSt.com that the 21 layoffs constitute approximately 10% of the corporate staff at its various offices throughout the country.
The majority of the positions eliminated were construction related and there were "certain other staff reductions," a company spokeswoman tells GlobeSt.com. "This step was taken in response to the sluggish economy in general and the impact on the commercial real estate industry in particular," she says.
BPG is headquartered in the Philadelphia area with regional offices in Los Angeles; Chicago; Washington, DC; Boston; Atlanta; and Raleigh-Durham. It operates a portfolio of more than 20 million square feet of office, retail, student housing and industrial properties, and 25,000 apartment units throughout the US. The company, which acquires under-performing properties with hope of adding value, declined to discuss its current investment strategies at this time.
Earlier this month, it began marketing for sale its Morris Crossroads Corporate Campus, a one-million-square-foot class A office headquarters facility along Interstate 80 in Mount Olive, NJ. The development was owned and occupied as the North American headquarters of German based BASF Corp. from 1994-2006.
The asking price is $47.5 million, or about $47 per square foot. BPG bought the facility three years ago for $50 million and invested $20 million to retrofit the complex into a modern, energy-efficient class-A office complex that could be subdivided if necessary for multiple tenants.
BPG says it would cost $250 million or $250 per square foot to replicate the interconnected five-building campus today. It describes the asking price as "essentially the cost of the land, or less than one year's rent in Manhattan."

USFRA Faces of Farming & Ranching
When people talk about sustainability, I like to point to generational farms as an example. I'm the sixth generation in my family to live and farm on the same land. For 137 years, my ancestors have been taking care of the land and water in order to ensure that we can raise great crops for our cattle and preserve good pasture for their grazing. We have always taken care to make certain that the creek that flows behind our house is kept clean. My great-great grandma...Read More »

Greater Orange Area Chamber of Commerce
Honor Student Luncheon
Guest Speaker Inky Johnson
September 9, 2006. It started as a normal college football game in Neyland Stadium. If anything, the event was an afterthought, dropped into the schedule at the last minute.
For Inky Johnson, thought, the game changed everything. A routine tackle turned into a life-threatening injury, and nothing has been normal for Inky ever since. Not with a paralyzed right arm. Not with daily pain. Not with constant physical challenges.
His dream had always been to play professional sports. you might think his injury would have destroyed his motivation and crushed his spirit. But that's only because you don't know Inky.
Who is Inquoris "Inky" Johnson? He could be described as the survivor of an underprivileged past. He could be described as a refugee of poverty and violence. He could be described as a success story stained by tragedy. But if you look deeper, you'll discover something else.
You'll see a man who looks in the face of defeat and says, "Am I really failing, or is God prevailing?" You'll see a man gripped by the promise that God has purposes and plans far beyond our own. And you'll be inspired by his relentless determination, which he loves to impart to others through his dramatic story.
Inky has a master's degree in sports psychology from the University of Tennessee. He devotes much of his time to mentoring athletes and underprivileged youth. He and his amazing wife Allison live in Atlanta, Georgia with their beautiful children, Jada and Inky. Jr.
