Factors Affecting Plant Growth
Factors Affecting Plant Growth
Table of Contents
Plants are living organisms which play a major role toward the environment and life itself. Plants and greenery depend on numerous roles to allow the growth of plant to successfully sprout. However, there are many factors affecting plant growth reducing their ability to grow at its greatest potential.
Environmental Factors
- - Light
- - Soil composition
- - Nutrients
- - Climate change
|Diagram of light affecting photosynthesis
FUN FACT: Chlorophyll is unable to absorb green light, therefore with the inability makes the leaves of plants and chlorophyll appear green to the human eye!
Sunlight also comes into play with plant growth with 'Phototropisms'. Phototropism is a plants reaction to light. The cause of phototropism is an auxin. Auxin is a hormone which explains the side of the plant with the most shade to grow longer than the other side, which then results in a plant to bend toward the light source.[3] Without light, plants reduce their ability to develope and reproduce as much as they naturally can. Without light, photosynthesis would not take place and would ultimately result in the plant not to develope properly and make it able to germinate.[4]
|Average texture of top soil
Soil Composition Affecting Plant GrowthSoil serves the needs for a plant by providing water, air, nutrients and stabilitly. There are a variety of attributes soil
must carry which can determine if the plant will have the ability to adapt to it. Wetness is one of the main attributes to have for plant growth. This is relevent for the plants water supply, and its exclusion of air and oxygen. Having not enough water in the soil could result in the plant not being able to grow with its proper functioning. If there is too much water, not all nutrients designated for the plant growth would absorb into the soil correctly, and would lead to some nutrients to spill out with the extra water. For air, with not having enough would result in the plant not having a balance of air supply for its growth since it would be using the air up quicker. [5] A root barrier is another key attritube which mainly controls the depth of soil available for roots to extract water and nutrients, as well as the soils porosity. Stoniness can also determine a plants ability to grow. Stones and rocks dilute the volume of soil within the root depth that is available for water storage and nutrients. Having too many stones and rocks could also be a barrier if there are too many stones surrounding the soil resulting in interference with the root of the plant. Soil texture affects how well nutrients and water are retained in the soil. The type of soil used for plant growth determines how easily the plant can access its required nutrients. Soil types are determined by particle texture and density.Plant growth will depend on the soil's ability to deliver its required materials. [6] Fertile soils will retrieve the chemical reactions required to recycle the materials for the plants use. Clays and organic soils carry more nutrients and water appose to sandy soils. As water drains from sandy soils, it often carries nutrients along with it. This condition is called leaching. When nutrients leach into the soil, they are not available for plants to use. Nitrogen and phosphate are two important nutrients for plant growth and soil. Nitrogen helps leaves and steams to grow, while phosphate helps roots and fruits to develop. Phosphate can be found in many "young soils" though the only barrier for young soil is that because of its age, there could be an issue causing a reduction of nitrogen since the soil would not be able to produce healthy top soil, which is a large barrier since the growth of plants depend on nitrogen alot.[7]
PH Affecting Plant GrowthSoil pH is one of the most important soil properties that affects the availability of nutrients.
- Macronutrients are usually less available in soils with low pH.
- Micronutrients are usually less available in soils with high pH
Nutrients Required For Plant Growth
|Nutrients needed for plant growth
- - Nitrogen is a part of chlorophyll, the green pigment of the plant that is responsible for photosynthesis.
- - Helps plants with rapid growth, increasing seed and fruit production and improving the quality of leaf and forage crops.
- - Nitrogen often comes from fertilizer application
Phosphorus (P)
- - Phosphorus also has an essential part in the process of photosynthesis.
- - Helps in the change of light energy into chemical energy.
- - Effects rapid growth.
- - Encourages plant and root growth.
Potassium (K)
- Potassium is absorbed by plants in larger amounts than other mineral elements
- Helps in the building of protein, photosynthesis, fruit quality and reduction of diseases.
Climate Change Affecting Plant Growth
|Forest fire- Global warming
Article Summary"If climate change alters the timing of plant activity, then it could have a domino effect, impacting the feeding, breeding or migration patterns of the animals that rely on particular plant species." Researchers from Stanford and the Carnegie Institution's Department of Global Ecology proceeded an experiment which was designed to simulate environmental conditions within the range that climate experts predict may exist 100 years from now, being a doubling of atmospheric carbon dioxide, a temperature rise of 2 degrees Fahrenheit, a 50 percent increase in precipitation and increased nitrogen deposition. [10]
Other Resources
- Photosynthesis: The process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water.
- Chloroplasts: Organelles that are found in plant cells, as well as other eukaryotes. They contain cholorophyll.
- Light Energy: The energy of electromagnetic waves.
- Chemical Energy: The potential for a chemical to react with other substances, or transform into a new substance.
- Chlorophyll: A green pigment, present in all green plants and in cyanobacteria, responsible for the absorption of light to provide energy for photosynthesis.
- Phototropism: The orientation of a plant or other organism in response to light, either toward the source of light
- Germinate: The process of a plant emerging from its seed and beginning to grow.
- Macronutrient: Nutrients needed by plants in the largest quantities.
- Micronutrients: Nutrients neede by plants in very small quantities.
- Porosity: Promotes stability by allowing deep rooting. Drains excess water, and circulates air to roots
- Leach: The process of minerals leaving soil by being dissolved in a liquid.
- pH: Short for 'Power of Hydrogen'. It's used as a measurement of how acidic something is. It is measured on a scale from 0 t o14, with 0 being the most acidic, and 14 being the least acidic.

USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) Name Coleman Executive Director Curtis L. Garrett announced that FSA is now accepting applications for 2016 GRAZE-OUT payments for producers who elect to use their acreage planted to wheat, barley, oats, or triticale for grazing by livestock and agree to forgo any other harvesting of the commodity in 2016.
"Producers must request graze-out payments by farm and complete form CCC-633 GRAZING," said Garrett. "If multiple producers share in the acreage, all signatures must be obtained before the request is considered complete."
The graze-out payment rate is determined by the amount the applicable commodity loan rate exceeds the CCC-determined value of the commodity for the county where the farm is located. This is referred to as the Loan Deficiency Payment (LDP) rate. The graze-out payment will be based on the LDP rate in effect for the county on the date of request.
Producers may file an application for graze-out any time prior to March 31, 2017.
Garrett emphasizes that acres identified on form CCC-633 GRAZING will not be eligible for an indemnity under the Federal Crop Insurance Act or Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP).
Graze-out payments are subject to the same basic eligibility requirements as commodity loans and LDPs including, but not limited to Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) provisions, beneficial interest, conservation compliance, foreign person, payment limitations for crop years 2014 through 2018, together with market loan gains and ARC/PLC.
Before MAL repayments with a market loan gain (MLG) or LDP disbursements can be made, producers must meet the requirements of actively engaged in farming, cash rent tenant and member contribution. The 2014 Farm Bill also establishes payment limitations per individual or entity not to exceed $125,000 annually on certain commodities for the following program benefits: price loss coverage payments, agriculture risk coverage payments, MLGs and LDPs.
AGI provisions state that a producer whose total applicable three-year average AGI exceeds $900,000 is not eligible to receive an MLG or LDP. Producers must have a valid CCC-941 on file to earn a market gain of LDP.
For more information and additional eligibility requirements, please visit a nearby USDA Service Center or FSA's website www.fsa.usda.gov . For an FSA office near you, visit http://offices.usda.gov.
COLLEGE STATION, Texas, July 25, 2016 – U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Texas Farm Service Agency (FSA) Executive Director, Judith A. Canales, reminds farmers and ranchers that they have until Aug. 1 to enroll in Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC) and/or Price Loss Coverage (PLC) programs for the 2016 crop year.
"Producers have already elected ARC or PLC, but they must enroll for the 2016 crop year by signing a contract before the Aug. 1 deadline to receive program benefits," said Canales. "Producers are encouraged to contact their local FSA office to schedule an appointment to enroll."
The programs trigger financial protections for participating agricultural producers when market forces cause substantial drops in crop prices or revenues. Nationwide, more than 1.76 million farmers and ranchers are expected to sign contracts to enroll in ARC or PLC. Covered commodities under the programs include barley, canola, large and small chickpeas, corn, crambe, flaxseed, grain sorghum, lentils, mustard seed, oats, peanuts, dry peas, rapeseed, long grain rice, medium grain rice (which includes short grain and sweet rice), safflower seed, sesame, soybeans, sunflower seed and wheat.
For more program information, contact your local FSA office or visit www.fsa.usda.gov/arc-plc. To find your local FSA office, visit http://offices.usda.gov.
Since 2009, USDA has worked to strengthen and support American agriculture, an industry that supports one in 11 American jobs, provides American consumers with more than 80 percent of the food we consume, ensures that Americans spend less of their paychecks at the grocery store than most people in other countries, and supports markets for homegrown renewable energy and materials. USDA has also provided $5.6 billion in disaster relief to farmers and ranchers; expanded risk management tools with products like Whole Farm Revenue Protection; and helped farm businesses grow with $36 billion in farm credit. The Department has engaged its resources to support a strong next generation of farmers and ranchers by improving access to land and capital; building new markets and market opportunities; and extending new conservation opportunities. USDA has developed new markets for rural-made products, including more than 2,500 bio-based products through USDA's BioPreferred program; and invested $64 billion in infrastructure and community facilities to help improve the quality of life in rural America.

Coleman, Texas (July 13, 2016) – Eight students from Coleman, Santa Anna, and Ballinger graduated July 11 from the latest Safe Sitter® course offered by Coleman County Medical Center.
Sandra Ratliff, RNC-OB, and Chelsey Slayton, RN, MSN, provided the class of 11-to-14-year-olds with a full and fast-paced day of education covering: indoor and outdoor safety training, how to handle household emergencies, how to treat babysitting as a business, safety for the sitter, prevention of problem behaviors, injury management, choking child and infant rescue, and child/infant CPR.
Students participated in games, hands-on skills training and a test. At the conclusion of the day, students were given a Safe Sitter® certification card and certificate.
"Coleman County is fortunate to have young responsible students who are willing to learn how to keep your children safe as well as themselves while babysitting," said Slayton. "For the safety of the students, their names cannot be released, but we encourage parents who are looking for a babysitter to ask if the babysitter has participated in the Safe Sitter® program!"
The national Safe Sitter® program began with a tragedy: the accidental death of a nurse's young child while in the care of an adult babysitter. This prompted Patricia A. Keener, M.D., to create Safe Sitter® Program in 1980. The program is the only national nonprofit training program devoted to preparing young teens to be safe in unsupervised settings. Medically-accurate, developmentally-appropriate, and constantly updated curriculum are followed.
"We have offered this program 4 times over the last 3 years, and have trained 23 area students," reported Ratliff, "and are pleased to provide local mom's and dad's with trained babysitters."
COLLEGE STATION, Texas, July 8, 2016 – USDA Texas Farm Service Agency (FSA) Executive Director Judith A. Canales reminds wheat producers that FSA Marketing Assistance Loans can help meet cash flow needs without selling commodities when market prices are at harvest-time lows.
"In the current marketing environment for wheat, producers are encouraged to contact our office to learn more about marketing loans so that they can make the best choice for their farming operations," said Canales.
Wheat producers who are eligible for marketing loans are also eligible for loan deficiency payments (LDPs) should the loan rate fall below the posted county price. Producers also can purchase a commodity certificate that may be exchanged for the outstanding loan collateral. Unlike LDPs, use of commodity certificates does not affect payment limitations. Producers can check their daily LDP rates online at www.fsa.usda.gov.
For a commodity to be eligible for a loan, loan deficiency payment, or certificate, the producer must have beneficial interest in the commodity, defined as having title, possession and control of the commodity, and responsible for loss of or damage to the commodity. All related application forms must be completed at the local FSA office prior to loss of beneficial interest. Other eligibility requirements may apply; consult your local FSA office for more information.
Marketing assistance loans are also available for other commodities, such as corn, grain sorghum, barley, oats, upland cotton, extra-long staple cotton, long grain rice, medium grain rice, soybeans and other oilseeds (including sunflower seed, rapeseed, canola, safflower, flaxseed, mustard seed, crambe and sesame seed), dry peas, lentils, small chickpeas, large chickpeas, grade and non-graded wool, mohair, unshorn pelts, honey and peanuts.

Sandra Wilson and sister, Irene Matthews, took first place against five other teams in the third annual Fourth of July '42' tournament, a part of the festivities at the Coleman City Park on Monday July 4th.
The sisters finally defeated second place finishers, Carl and Virginia Harrington in a hard fought battle.
Taking third place in a squeaker match against the Harringtons were Terry Wallace and Bill Merryman.
Although '42' is considered by many to be an 'old people's game', this tournament had two young players, Chase and Devin Taylor, who came real close to shaming two of the best in the tournament.
The elder statesman of the contest was WWII veteran, Kenneth Newman. Kenneth and his partner, Bill Whitfield, got bumped in the finals when they fell victim to one of the unpredictable elements of the game – they just couldn't draw the right dominoes.
Nell Hasseroot and Phyllis Smith played well, but were knocked out during the finals in a close game against the eventual first place winners.
In the end a good time was had by all, in part because the Good Lord saw fit to give the players some good shade and a great breeze.
First Place '42' winners were sisters Sandra Wilson and Irene Matthews, with Larry Tillman and another sister, Fredna Horton, offering support.
Claiming Second Place were the husband and wife team of Carl and Virginia Harrington.
Third place finishers were Terry Wallace and Bill Merryman (who was too shy to get in the picture).

"Faith working through love... to serve one another" - Galatians 5:6.13
by Whitney Alexander
Christian Family Ministries, located at 519 W. Pecan in Coleman, has been "providing nutritious food to low income people of Coleman County with Christian love and support in collaboration with others who address basic human need" since 1986. The Loaves and Fishes Food Ministry was started by a group of individuals consisting of Graham Bevel, Robin Graves and Mary Alcala who identified a need for a "soup kitchen" for citizens of Coleman County. Bevel had always been an apt gardener and many of the meals provided in the "kitchen" consisted of fresh vegetables from his garden. It soon became apparent that the "kitchen" needed to be expanded as more and more people would show up for a home-cooked meal. Thus, a full hot meal function and delivery for those in need, was established. Today, a person can visit Loaves and Fishes on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:45am through 12pm to enjoy a delicious hot meal. The meals are carefully crafted with Christian love and support and the goal is to provide this service to the hungry and poor. Most of what is cooked is provided through donations from the community as no government funding is received. In fact, Board President, Tim Manley, is always expressing gratitude for the community support. "Without dedicated and generous individuals, none of this would be possible," said Tim. Donations come from various sources and a lot of what is donated is protein, especially venison. Hunters for the Hungry, administered by Central Texas Opportunities, are a big contributor, according to director Vicki Cook. She carefully plans the meals around the meat available and adds nutritious and delicious sides. "We operate on totally what is available," stated Vicki.
Visitors have the option to take their meal to go or to sit down, cafeteria style, and enjoy their meal in the company of other guests. Over 500 meals are served monthly and that number has only been rising. In order to partake in the hot meals ministry each client must fill out an application showing a need for assistance. Once approved, the applicant is qualified for two full years. When the two years are up, the client must then re-apply. No one is denied food on his or her first application especially in case of emergency or home displacement.
Along with serving meals in the cafeteria a "Meals on Wheels" service is also conducted every Tuesday and Thursday. Volunteers will deliver food to the home bound, handicapped or persons without transportation. An average of 50 meals are delivered each month. Having been witness to the program, individuals who receive their meals are grateful, kind and eager to greet you. For many, these are some of the only social interactions they will receive throughout the week. Volunteers operate on a rotating delivery schedule so as not to tire anyone out. The route generally only takes about 30 minutes and many volunteers make use of their lunch hour to deliver.
With the success and implementation of the hot meals program, Loaves and Fishes added another ministry, the Food Pantry. The pantry provides supplemental and non-perishable food items to those in need of assistance in Coleman County. Their mission is to "provide these services to individuals and families who do not qualify for other assistance and whose income is insufficient to provide for their families". Open the first and third Monday of each month from 9am-11am, individuals are allowed a certain amount of each food group and a volunteer assists them as they walk through the "store". For many, this isn't just for supplementation, but where most of their monthly food comes from. I had a chance to speak with several individuals at the pantry on how this ministry has helped them and I observed that many of the clients are of the elderly demographic and have no means or are unable to work. They state that without the pantry they are not sure how they would be eating for the month. Brenda Christian took a moment to chat with me and stated that since her husband was laid off, times have been especially tough. The pantry has been a huge help for herself, husband and mother. "When you are on Social Security, you only get so much help. This helps," said Christian.
The Food Bank of West Central Texas comes once a month, usually the last Wednesday of the month, and brings fresh, perishable and frozen foods. The Mobile Pantry usually contains between 5,000-10,000 pounds of groceries including fruits, vegetables, dairy products, baked goods and staples that the pantry generally has on hand. The food is displayed on tables and clients walk around as if at a farmer's market and select items that their family can use. This ensures that fresh food is going directly to those families in need.
One ministry that is more prominent than others due to its visibility is the Graham and Jean Bevel Community Garden located in front of the CFM building. Started in 2014 by Christian Family Ministries and through direct support from the Bevel family, community organizations, and individuals, the garden gives community members an opportunity to lease a garden bed to grow fruits, vegetables and herbs of their choice. The beds lease for $50 a calendar year and are limited to two beds per individual. All materials are provided including water, soil and some seeds for planting. There are also 4 handicap beds available for gardeners in wheelchairs or for those unable to garden in a regular bed. The word "Community" in the garden's name certainly rings true. The ACE Program from Coleman ISD regularly visits the garden to help with weed control and other improvements that are needed. The children get a chance to be hands on and learn about growing techniques and utilizing fresh food for meals. Teaching the younger generation that food doesn't always come from a drive-thru, a box or a deep fryer will hopefully create a healthier and sustainable generation.
Chronic hunger is one of the primary reasons for poor performance and bad behavior in school age children. In an effort to deal with this problem in our local schools, Christian Family Ministries partnered with The Food Bank of West Central Texas and the Coleman Ministerial Network to provide Backpacks for Kids. This program provides nutritious, non-perishable food for children in need to take home on Fridays. The "backpack" provides breakfast, lunch, dinner and two snacks for Saturday and Sunday, ensuring the child will have an adequate meal over the weekend. The food is given to the parents when they pick up their children at the end of the school day. Volunteers assemble twice a month to prepare the "backpacks" which in actuality are grocery sacks. All of the food is purchased through the food bank. Concerned and generous citizens provide funding for this program as with all the other programs under the Christian Family Ministries umbrella. Citizens can provide a child with one month of meals for only $18 per month or $162 for a whole year. Such a small amount can make a huge impact on a local level.
Each year the cost of school supplies continues to rise to exorbitant rates and for many, it is simply not in their budget. Christian Family Ministries School Supplies for Kids Program helps to offset the cost burden for families by providing school supplies to elementary, middle, and junior high school age children. In 2015, 43 children were provided school supplies. Many families have stated that without this program, they did not know how their children would be equipped to begin the school year.
Christian Family Ministries provides invaluable programs and resources for our community and have touched numerous lives. For many, these programs are not just superficial and a nice asset to the community, they are how families and individuals are able to eat. From the struggling senior citizen to the family of four that is just trying to make ends meet, these programs are a way of life. However, NONE of these programs would be available without the generous donations and countless volunteer hours that you, the community, have graciously given.
If you would like to become involved, whether through a donation, volunteering with the Backpack program, picking up a delivery route for meals, or helping with the Food Pantry, please visit the website at cfmcoleman.org or call 325-625-9913 for more information. Your time will be well spent and greatly appreciated.
Donations may be made on our website at cfmcoleman.org or by mail to P. O. Box 105, Coleman, TX, 76834. Christian Family Ministries of Coleman County is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. All donations are tax deductible.

(COLLEGE STATION, Texas) - June 3, 2016 - The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Service Agency (FSA) Texas State Executive Director, Judith A. Canales, reminds farmers and ranchers, families and small businesses affected by flooding, high winds, and hail in Texas, that USDA has several programs which provide assistance before, during, and after disasters. USDA staff in regional, State and county offices are ready to help.
FSA administers many safety-net programs to help producers recover from eligible losses, including the Livestock Indemnity Program, the Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honeybees, and Farm-Raised Fish Program, Emergency Forest Restoration Program (EFRP) and the Tree Assistance Program. The Emergency Conservation Program provides funding and technical assistance for farmers and ranchers to rehabilitate farmland damaged by natural disasters. Producers located in counties that received a primary or contiguous disaster designation are eligible for low-interest emergency loans to help them recover from production and physical losses. Compensation also is available to producers who purchased coverage through the Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program, which protects non-insurable crops against natural disasters that result in lower yields, crop losses or prevented planting. USDA encourages farmers and ranchers to contact their local FSA office to learn what documents can help the local office expedite assistance, such as farm records, receipts and pictures of damages or losses.
Producers should use form FSA-576, Notice of Loss, to report prevented planting and failed acres in order to establish or retain FSA program eligibility. Prevented planting acreage must be reported no later than 15 calendar days after the final planting date as established by FSA and USDA Risk Management Agency (RMA). Producers must file a Notice of Loss for failed acres on all crops including grasses in a timely fashion, often within 15 days of the occurrence or when the losses become apparent. Producers of hand-harvested crops must notify FSA of damage or loss within 72 hours of when the date of damage or loss first becomes apparent.
USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) also can help producers with damaged agricultural lands caused by natural disasters such as floods. The NRCS Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) provides financial assistance to repair and prevent excessive soil erosion that can result from high rainfall events and flooding. Conservation practices supported through EQIP protect the land and aid in recovery, can build the natural resource base, and might help mitigate loss in future events. For declared natural disasters that lead to imminent threats to life and property, NRCS can assist local government sponsors with the cost of implementing recovery efforts like debris removal and streambank stabilization to address natural resource concerns and hazards through the Emergency Watershed Protection Program.
Producers with coverage through the RMA administered federal crop insurance program should contact their crop insurance agent. Those who purchased crop insurance will be paid for covered losses. Producers should report crop damage within 72 hours of damage discovery and follow up in writing within 15 days.
USDA Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) coordinates with state, local and voluntary organizations to provide food for shelters and other mass feeding sites. FNS also can issue Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits when the President declares a major disaster with individual assistance under the Stafford Act. States must request approval from FNS to issue D-SNAP benefits in areas affected by a disaster.
Under certain circumstances, states also can release, with FNS approval, USDA Foods to disaster relief agencies to distribute directly to households that are in need. However, a request by a State Governor and a Presidential emergency or disaster declaration are required in order to trigger disaster assistance under the Stafford Act.
When floods destroy or severely damage residential property, USDA Rural Development (RD) can assist with providing priority hardship application processing for single family housing. Under a disaster designation, RD can issue a priority letter for next available multi-family housing units. RD also provides low-interest loans to community facilities, water environmental programs, businesses and cooperatives and to rural utilities.
USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture provides support for disaster education through the Extension Disaster Education Network (EDEN). EDEN's goal is to improve the nation's ability to mitigate, prepare for, prevent, respond to and recover from disasters. Through the land-grant universities and Cooperative Extension System across the nation, EDEN links Extension educators from various disciplines to share research-based resources to reduce the impact of disasters.
Severe weather forecasts often present the possibility of power outages that could compromise the safety of stored food. The USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) recommends that consumers take the necessary steps before, during, and after a power outage to reduce food waste and minimize the risk of foodborne illness. FSIS offers tips for keeping frozen and refrigerated food safe and a brochure that can be downloaded and printed for reference at home. For additional questions, call the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-MPHotline (1-888-674-6854) on weekdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET or visit AskKaren.gov to chat live with a food safety specialist, available in English and Spanish.
For complete details and eligibility requirements regarding USDA's disaster assistance programs, contact a local USDA Service Center (http://offices.sc.egov.usda.gov/locator/app). More information about USDA disaster assistance (http://www.usda.gov/documents/fact-sheet-usda-programs-assist-individuals-small-businesses.pdf) as well as other disaster resources is available on the USDA Disaster Resource Center website. In a continuing effort to better serve the public, USDA has developed a new and improved central resource for disaster related materials. In partnership with the Federal Emergency Management Agency and other disaster-focused organizations, USDA created a Disaster Resource Center (http://www.usda.gov/wps/portal/usda/usdahome?navid=disaster-help) website, utilizing a new online searchable knowledgebase. This knowledgebase is a collection of disaster-related resources that are powered by agents with subject-matter expertise. The new Disaster Resource Center website and web tool now provide an easy access point to find USDA disaster information and assistance.

Any thoughts?

Hip-Hop Valentines: The 14 most romantic rap songs
Valentines Day is here and you need some help to win over the heart of that sexy B-girl or B-boy?
We know hip-hop doesn't have the best history romancing the opposite sex, "bitches better having my money" and "skeeting on walls" doesn't really set the mood. But a bunch of the fellas in the booth had a more thoughtful outlook on their female counterparts. Among them are LL Cool J, Andre 3000, and even Slick Rick.
So don't worry, we have you covered. So grab your girl's or guy's hand, hit the park bench with the boom box, and let's discover some good ol' boom bap romance.
14. "Hey Lover" - LL Cool J
This is what happens when you mix LL Cool J with the romantic styling of Boyz II Men, you get this gem. Just like his first ode to females "I Need Love" that started the love movement in Hip-Hop, this song made the trendy rapper and R&B collaboration a sure thing for years to come.
Lines like "...besides he drinks too much and smokes too many blunts/ and I'll be working out everyday thinking about you" calls to the common problem of the beautiful woman dating the drunk douche bag. While LL lifts weights, licks his lips, and fantasizes about tropical vacations the douche bag wins in the end as James Todd Smith drives off alone with his multi-million dollar FUBU endorsement.
13. "What's on Your Mind?" - Eric B & Rakim
A common problem with women traveling mass transit is that they always got to encounter the guy trying to holler. It's no different in New York City; this tale is about Rakim trying to pick up a girl on the subway.
First she plays him off with the cold shoulder, but a few stops later she warms up. Before long, the romantic warrior in Rakim wins her over with a long courtship but after watching Bill Cosby at the Apollo they finally knock boot.
Who knew Pudding Pops were the key (taking notes). It also helps that the slick sample of "Curious" by Midnight Star was in the background massaging the mind.
12. "You Got Me" feat Jill Scott and Eve - The Roots
First off, Jill Scott sang on the original but got dumped for the better-looking Erykah Badu for the video remix. That alone dropped this down the list. Love knows all shapes and sizes, plus how you going to do Jill like that?
Black Thought spits away about his love for his woman and his love for the road, a then unknown Eve spits the woman's side of the story in a gone 'til November type tale. To every hip-hop indie hipster this is pretty much the nail in the coffin for that neo soul girl you just met at the coffee shop; just don't bore her with your own poetry.
11. "21 Questions" feat Nate Dogg - 50 Cent
Who can blame Curtis? When you have as much money as he does, you have to ask a lot of questions. How about 21 of them? I love this song as much as a fat kid loves cake.
So you got to annoy her with questions about being poor, driving crappy cars and working at Burger King. Then again, if she looked like Megan Good, I might just give her a pass. But funny thing, the next single was about how Curtis improved his financial gain and profits by employing women to service other men. Were these 21 questions just an interview for a job? How romantic.
10. "Teenage Love" - Slick Rick
Who can forget our first love or our high school sweetheart? It starts out all warm and wonderful -- holding hands and so proud of your significant other -- but by the time prom rolls around, you're sick to death of each other and looking around. Lying, stalking and cheating come into play. Damn, now you got no date to the prom. But don't worry, Slick Rick raps you a life lesson on "Teenage Love" to protect your heart. Ricky even serenades you at the end of the song. Aw Rick.
9. "Beautiful Skin" - Goodie Mob
Before the days of Cee-Lo dressing up like a Megatron version of Elton John and insulting City Pages editors, he was writing and singing hymns to the black woman. Expressing how he was attracted more to her class than ass and of course her beautiful skin. His sincere approach wins her over and blossoms into late-night phone conversations.
The other members of Goodie come off less romantic, but the song survives on with the rhythmic hook. It was one of the last few diamonds left before Goodie Mob broke up and Cee-Lo went to get his freak on.
8. "Can U Get Away" - Tupac
This was the time when Tupac was in top form -- after Poetic Justice but before the Death Row meltdown. Rumored to be about Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, Tupac tries to convince his forbidden love to leave her unhappy, stressful relationship with her abusive man and get away with him.
Even though she rejects his advances and help, Pac still tries to help her escape -- even if it means he has to be lonely the rest of his life by doing so. When this album dropped in 1995, this was easily one of those lay back and chill joints that both sexes could appreciate and maybe even had in common. Even though it was never released as a single, this is a true favorite among Tupac fans to this day.
7. "Got Me Waiting (Remix)" - Heavy D & the Boyz
This song was so romantic that this remix single was a staple on many late night quiet storm shows, unusual at the time for any rap record. With a slowed down flow of the Top 20 pop dance hit, Heavy takes it more easy getting his point across with the help of R&B wonder group Silk singing the hook.
The overweight lover tries to make his move on a shy girl who seems too nervous to step to the new jack swinger. The remix starts out with the sound of raindrops, and ends with Silk crooning the night away. Maybe it was songs like this that landed Hev a couple dates with Halle Berry? Coming in at almost seven minutes long, this song is the best bet to get things going...
6. "Lady (Remix)" feat AZ - D'Angelo
I know, I know. D'angelo is not a rapper. But wait a second, the beat was produced by the hip-hop imperialist DJ Premier. Throw in AZ for a couple lines and hey, this is making the list. Besides D'angelo needed to be on this list somewhere. The perfect mix is the simple stripped-down Premier beat and D'angelo singing about how he wants to put a ring on it as he picks up his lady from work, and you got magic. Back off fellas -- this is his woman! Fun side note, he wrote this song when he was just 16 years old.
5. "Renee" - Lost Boyz
No video made more hardcore heads spill a tear or two than this song (okay, maybe Aaron Hill's "I Miss You"), but this was a close second. Mr. Cheeks tells us about Renee, who he met on a walk to a subway. (I see this is a pattern in New York.)
This honey was beautiful, smart (shawty studies law) and she got Gs. They hang out, and Cheeks teaches her the way of the blunt while they chill and listen to Jodeci as he plays with her breasts. He found a winner. After weeks of hanging with his friends and being in love, Renee gets shot and dies. Seriously sad. Weeks before, they were playing in the snow and smoking blunts and now she is gone and Mr. Cheeks reminisces about his ghetto princess every day.
4. "Prototype" - Andre 3000
I could have pretty much picked any song off The Love Below record to represent Andre 3000 and his extraterrestrial love affair, but this one seemed to fit best. How romantic to be called something so beautiful that it doesn't even exist? And, yes, you are the prototype of this new brand of woman.
I'm sure the ultra eccentric and sexy Erykah Badu was great inspiration at the time; she is known to put a spell on rappers. But just as spellbinding is the haunting guitar track over Andre's enjoyment of being in love again. This is the ultimate cool-out song. Pop a pill and enjoy.
3. "Bonita Applebaum" - A Tribe Called Quest
This is the song that made ladies fall in love with the sound of Q-Tip's voice and lyrics. This timeless classic still gets girls going on. The amazing samples melded together with the chief of affection's own brand of 21 questions and begging is a must play on dates. It's a top priority.
He preaches women's dimensions, kissing below the border and using crazy prophylactics. Hey it's like a hip-hop song, ya know? This song is so great it has spawned numerous remixes, I recommend the Hootie Mix, and has been a constant inspiration to write that romantic boom bap ballad.
2. "I'll Be There for You/ You're All I Need" - Method Man feat Mary J Blige
"Nuttin' make a man feel better than a woman." Probably one of the truest lines ever written in a hip-hop song, Method Man hooks up with Mary J for this remix ode to his queen with a crown.
Method rewards his girl for sticking with him when times were tough, and explores the highlights of being in a committed relationship. "No need to shop around/ you got the good stuff at home." The track is mixed with the sooth soul of Tammi Terrell and the sample of Notorious B.I.G. expressing his dying love to his woman.
This possibly could be the perfect love song with the hard knocking beat, Mary singing her heart out and Meth in top form if it wasn't for...
"When I'm alone in my room/ sometimes I stare at the wall/ and in the back of my mind/ I hear my conscience call." The song that started it all. People thought he was crazy to pen a love rap song, but LL was laughing and loving all the way to the bank.
Ladies Love Cool James invented the market for hip-hop lullabies to women. It has even saved his career a few times. "I Need Love" shows a sensitive side to the Queens native. He is tired of playing games and touring and now he wants a woman as sweet as a dove. He is so desperate that he his willing to throw his coat over a puddle.
But his search is coming up short. What do you expect when you are looking under rugs? Come on Todd, we know you got more game then that. The sweet, simple track glides over his mission for the ultimate cuddle bunny, and proves that when it comes to love and hip-hop, look no further than the real King James.

Plants absorb essential nutrients,
such as ammonium, nitrates, and
phosphates, from your pond's water,
helping clarification and overall
health of the pond. Minerals that help
plants absorb these nutrients include
potassium, manganese, and copper.
Types of fertilizers
Supplemental fertilizers that include
these minerals come in different forms,
depending on the media you use, the
plants in your pond, or the maintenance
you wish (or don't wish) to do.
You may find that the planting
media you use, such as CaribSea
Kahuna Soil or API POND AQUATIC PLANTING MEDIA, contain all
the minerals your plants require,
without need for supplementation.
Potted plants, like lilies, can benefit
from regular fertilization from tablets,
such as
Plantabbs Pondtabbs Aquatic Plant Food . An easy way to
"dose" tablets is with the long-handled
Nycon Plant Feeder. No need
to enter your pond to fertilize – simply
place tablet into end of feeder, plunge
into plant's soil, and release the tablet.
Time-released fertilizer offers little or
no maintenance. Try Laguna Fertilizer
Spikes which only
need to be placed once per year.
Whatever you use, it is always
safest to make sure any additives
you put into your pond do
not contain excess levels of
nitrates or phosphates.

The Wisconsin Badgers officially announced their 2013 football schedule today, which includes a rumored home game against the BYU Cougars.
Wisconsin opens the 2013 season against UMass on Aug. 31, followed by a home game against Tennessee Tech on Sept. 7 and a trip to Arizona State on Sept. 14.
BYU travels to Camp Randall Stadium on Nov. 9 to complete the non-conference portion of Wisconsin's 2013 schedule. The two schools are also in discussions for future games.
"I'm very excited because hopefully it's something that will continue to grow from here," Bielema said. "There have been talks beyond next year and that's very intriguing to me."
"Wisconsin is consistently among the top programs in the nation and we are excited to have them as a future opponent," BYU director of athletics Tom Holmoe said. "I was on the 1980 BYU team that last went to Camp Randall Stadium and it is truly one of the great experiences in college football. We look forward to this game and ongoing relationship."
The Badgers open up Big Ten play on Sept. 21 at home against Purdue. The game was initially set for Oct. 26, but was moved "with the cooperation of the Big Ten and Purdue."
The following week, Wisconsin travels to face Ohio State (Sept. 28) and then has their first open date of the season (Oct. 5). The Badgers then host Northwestern (Oct. 12) and travel to Illinois (Oct. 19) before their second open date on Oct. 26.
The remainder of Wisconsin's 2013 schedule includes at Iowa (Nov. 2), vs. BYU (Nov. 9), vs. Indiana (Nov. 16), at Minnesota (Nov. 23), and vs. Penn State (Nov. 30).
2013 Wisconsin Football Schedule
not bad, two cupcakes at the beginning of the year, and then BYU and ASU. That is up from last year.
No Michigan or Michigan State? Beat Ohio State and they'll be looking at a big bowl.
What is that picture of Paul B?
It's supposed to be me as a simpson. When the simpson movie came out awhile back they "simpsonized" you.
whooaa!!!!!!!! Man with a tough schedule like Wisconsin's next year Idk how they'll ever get back to the Rose bowl to receive their annual ass whoopin. I mean UMass, Tennessee Tech,BYU?? and Indiana!!!!!!!! I just don't know how they will ever pull it off next year
UW obviously has no control over the conference portion of the schedule, but missing Michigan, MSU and Nebraska is unreal. They did do a good job of compensating for that by scheduling BYU and ASU.
Playing BYU in November is a surprise. I can't remember the last time a B1G team played a legit non-con game in November.
If there was ever a schedule to have without a play-off, this is it.
You have to schedule tougher games up top now if you want to play for the national championship. Watch what other schools are doing. UMASS and Tennessee Tech will not cut it.

DENVER (AP) -- A Denver man who wants the city to be prepared for space aliens is proposing a commission to deal with the matter.
The assistant city attorney says he doesn't know what officials will ask about Jeff Peckman's proposal during next week's "review and comment" meeting.
Peckman says an 18-member commission would form a strategy "dealing with issues related to the presence of extraterrestrial beings on Earth."
The 54-year-old Peckman also needs 4,000 signatures to get his proposal on the November ballot.

I'm wrapping up a PhD in Practical Theology while in full-time ministry.
Academically, I am in conversation with 4 main areas of study:
- Sociology of Religion
- Contextual Theology
- Critical Race Theory
- Postmodern Analysis
My field of Practical Theology is an inter-disciplinary approach which allows me to engage in a wide analysis of diverse subjects.
This blog is not primarily for my academic pursuits. The purpose here is to innovate theological concepts and engage new ideas.
The desire is to explore the Christian tradition while engaging contemporary thought – and to integrate them where possible.
This is done in the hopes of giving the church an authentic witness in the midst of a pluralistic society.
Find me on FaceBook

I love this conversation and am grateful for all the support and encouragement.
