1 Ministry of Education University of Mali Republic of Mali One People, One Goal, One Faith Presentation of the Rural Polytechnic Institute for Training and Applied Research IPR/IFRA Katibougou By Dr. Fafre Samake Director General
2 April Background The Rural Polytechnic Institute for Training and Applied Research (IPR/IFRA) of Katibougou is located about 70 kilometers from Bamako, the capital of Mali, and 3.5 kilometers from Koulikoro, seat of the second administrative region in Mali. Spanning an area about 380 hectares along the banks of the Niger River, it is one of the oldest institutions for training rural development agents in the area. It has been successively: An agronomic research station in 1897 School for farmers instructors in 1902 Center for agricultural training in 1913 Agricultural Technical College in 1952 doubling as a teachers training college(cta) Rural Polytechnic Institute in 1965 Rural Polytechnic Institute for Training and Applied Research in Status and Mission IPR/IFRA is a higher education institution for public instruction with the following mission: Training of agricultural engineers, agricultural economists, zootechnicians and technicians for water and forests. Training of upper level technicians in the areas of agriculture, livestock, water and forests, and rural engineering Promotion of scientific and technological research. Continuing education programs for recent graduates, rural development professionals and farmers organizations. Training for rural communities. Since its inception, IPR/IFRA has had a regional mission. It has trained and still trains students from more than 10 African countries: Burkina Faso, Niger, Ivory Coast, Gabon, Senegal, Mauritania, Chad, Central African Republic, Comoros, Benin and Togo. 3. Administrative Organization IPR/IFRA is one of the University of Mali s large colleges under the supervision of the Ministry of Higher Education. An Institute Assembly and a Director General of Services administer IPR/IFRA. The Institute Assembly functions as advisor and controller for the activities of the institute. In this capacity, IPR/IFRA is responsible for following issues: questions relating to the organization of the courses and the implementation of teaching programs budget plans presented to the University Council the Director s administrative accounts
3 the acceptance of donations and legacies to the Institute the use of revenue, donations, legacies and subsidies the assignment of teaching posts and leave of absences all other questions pertaining to the running of the Institute The Institute Assembly is composed of the Director, representatives from the different hierarchies of the teaching body, representatives from administration and technical personnel, and students. The Assembly meets at least once a semester at the request of Director. The Assembly can meet for special sessions on the written demand of two-thirds of the members or at the request of the Director. The Director General is the first in command at IPR/IFRA. He is nominated by order of the Ministry for Higher Education from among the professors and teachers of the conference. Two adjuncts assist him and serve as a substitute in his absence or in case of impeachment. The first adjunct is appointed to Katibougou while the second is appointed to the IPF/IFRA annex at Bamako. The Director s services include: A main secretariat An accounting agency 4. Infrastructure IPR/IFRA contains: About thirty classrooms with a seating capacity of between 25 and 100 An auditorium with 300 seats Laboratories o Agro-physio-genetics and vegetal biotechnologies o Soil Sciences o Arthropode biology and integrated pest management o Entomology o Ethno-botany o Animal Nutrition o Forestry and Forestry output A workroom for processing and conserving animal and plant products An agro-sylvo-pastorale farm An arboretum Fish breeding pond Agro forestry demonstration plots A library A computer room A photo copy room A boarding school with capacity for 800 people A sports complex with a soccer field, a basketball court, a volleyball court and a cultural center
4 The IPR/IFRA also has an annex in Bamako assure the proper training of the students specializing in animal husbandry with: Eight classrooms A veterinary clinic An computer room A library In 1998, IPR/IFRA opened a Center for Continuing Education (CFC) for the continued training of graduates, rural development agents and rural producers. 6. Human Resources A teaching staff composed of: 2 Professors 17 lecturers 7 assistant lecturers About sixty assistants of which ten hold Doctorate degrees and some are still in training Administrative Personnel Technical and Support Personnel 7.. Training and Research The Department of Studies and Research (DER) is the foundation of IPR/IFRA s teaching and research. The DER deals with all the questions regarding the functions of the department, notably the organization of the courses, research projects, monitoring of course content, and recruitment of personnel. The department is in charge of the pedagogic training of the instructors. The DER is run by a head of department, named as the Director of Education after election by the members of the department There are 4 DERs and they are: DER of Science and Agricultural Technology DER of Science and Animal Husbandry Technology DER of Science and Technology for Forestry and Rural Engineering DER of Economics and Social Sciences On the academic level, the Council of Professors, composed of the Director General, the Adjunct Directors, the Head of Development and all the conference instructors, have the decision-making authority. The council examines all proposals for pedagogical innovations, introduction of new administrative channels, and new teaching programs before their presentation to the Institute Assembly. It also evaluates the execution of teaching programs, and fixes the dates and modalities for exams and pedagogic tests. Training IPR/IFRA has two levels of training: The Superior Technician level This program trains high school graduates for a two year Superior Technician University diploma. The program covers the following fields:
5 o Seed production and plant improvement o Food and Industrial Crop Production o Horticulture o Meat production o Poultry Production o Food and industrial crops production o Hydro-agricultural land planning o Planning and Management of Forestry and Halieutical resources This program has approximately 160 students The engineering level This program lasts for three years and accepts students with a general university diploma. Students are training in the following specialties: o Agronomy o Zootechniques o Waters and Forests There are approximately 220 students in the engineering level of which 25% are foreign. Even though the curriculum is in place for agricultural economics program, it hasn t been implemented yet due to a lack of personnel. Agricultural Extension Training In responds to rural development needs, IPR/IFRA, in collaboration with the technical services of the Ministry for Rural Development, and with the financial and technical support from Sasakawa Global 2000, Winrock International, and the University of Cape Coast in Ghana, expect to initiate two training cycles for agricultural extension agents targeted at agents in the field. The Master s programs will last for four years beginning in October 2002 The Technical Certificate program will last two years beginning in October 2003 The IPR/IFRA graduates will have employment opportunities in the state, para-state and private rural development organizations, and the territorial collectives. They could also go into private practice. The difficulties encountered at the training level so far are many, noteably: The need for retraining instructors The need for doctoral training for instructors in certain areas Insufficient equipment and materials Research University research in Mali has been ignored for a long time. The IPR/IFRA, like other institutions, has suffered the consequences. Nevertheless, in the last few years, research at our Institute has seen a rapid expansion and resurgence in popularity. This research has lead to: Crop biotechnologies Variety selection Integrated pest management Fertilization
6 Development Renewable energy sources (biogas) Medicinal plants Animal nutrition Agro-forestry Economics and social sciences etc. IPR/IFRA collaborates with national institutions such as the Institute of Rural Economy (IER), the National Center for Scientific and Technical Research (CNRST), the National Institute for Public Health Research (INRSP), certain international institutions such as the International Agency for Atomic Energy (AIEA), the International Center for Cereal Research in Tropical zones (ICRISAT), the International Center for Research in Agroforestry (ICRAF), the Center for International Center for Cooperation in Agronomic Research for Development (CIRAD) and many more. The researchers at the Institute have obtained convincing results in certain areas: the creation of new varieties of sorghum, production of the potato micro- tubercle, production of biogas, methods for rapid inventory of savannahs etc. Insufficient funding, the lack of laboratory equipment, and poor communications are the major constraints faced by the researchers. 7. Production Activities IPR/IFRA s agro-sylvo operation is a working farm that is not only didactic, but truly productive. The production activities are conducted in different sectors: Agronomy: * Large-scale production and production of fodder: millet, sorghum, maize and cotton * Cultivation of mango, banana and citrus fruit trees * Market gardening cultivation of cabbage, lettuce, green beans, onions, potato, tomato, okra and peppers. * Nurseries Livestock * Animal production of bovines, ovine, pork, poultry * A veterinary clinic Forestry * Forest nurseries * Control of forest plots The rural engineering sector: benefit of diverse services Despite the existing potential, the agro-pastoral farm has a low level of production due to the poor regulation of water and production costs, poor mechanization and insufficient investment methods. 8. Institutional support It is difficult to underestimate the role that IPR/IFRA plays in Mali and in the subregion: it has been and remains a springboard for rural development managerial personnel who have continually proven their worth. As the only agricultural training establishment for higher-level executives in the country, IPR/IFRA has
7 been called upon to play a role that continues to increase within the context of the struggle for food self-sufficiency, the fight against poverty and the degradation of natural resources. In the effort to reach these goals, the institute needs institutional support. In the area of training and research, IPA/IFRA needs: o Donations of teaching material o Training of higher-level specialists in agricultural economics, agribusiness, agricultural extension, biotechnology, mechanization, animal health and animal production etc. o Laboratory equipment and products o Production of teaching material o Development of new information technologies and communication technology o Creation of a technology village In the area of production o Water regulation and acquisition of pumping equipment o Equipment for the processing of animal and crop products o Equipment of materials for the agro-sylvo-pastoral farm Exchanges This involves the instructors in areas of training, research, language-learning as well as apprentices.

This 5209 square foot residence graces the hills of the Peninsula de Osa in Costa Rica. Built by Robles Arquitectos as the first phase for the Institute of sustainability, ecology, art, mind, and investigation(ISEAMI), this house will serve as a multifunctional space for the institution on the first level and a residence for the director on the second.
The home is based on a prefab module that is constructed out of 100 percent recyclable material and is 100 percent self sufficient. The project produces its own power from a solar power plant on the roof, fresh water from an on-site concession, and the home is bathed in passive design strategies.
Due to common mold and mildew issues in this region the home was designed to eliminate any airspace within the walls or floor and painting the residence white has made it possible to achieve an SRI rating of 100. Overall the structure is a great self sufficient and passive design model.

'Crossbones' News, Screencaptures Episodes 3-6 & Stills
Posted by Mia with No Comments
Episode 7 of 'Crossbones' will air later tonight as scheduled. NBC announced yesterday that they will be airing episodes 8 & 9 next Saturday, August 2 from 8pm – instead of on August 1 and 8 – thus effectively cancelling the series after bad ratings. The article talks about these episodes being the final two episodes. I'm a bit confused because I thought they filmed 10 episodes. Well, the series will come to DVD soon, on September 2, and I think those 386 minutes of runtime listed on Amazon.com would suggest that there will be 10 episodes on the DVD. Also Amazon lists deleted scenes as special features. Don't forget to pre-order!
In other news, we are all caught up with screencaptures of Claire Foy as Kate Balfour in episodes 3 to 6. And there are 3 new stills, 2 from tonight's episode. Enjoy!
And Anna has updated the biography page and added more information to our 'Crossbones' section.
– Crossbones: Episode 3: The Man Who Killed Blackbeard
– Crossbones: Episode 4: Antoinette
– Crossbones: Episode 5: The Return
– Crossbones: Episode 6: A Hole in the Head

Hegazi named Man of the Match as West Brom win Bass Charity Vase
Egypt international Ahmed Hegazi was named Man of the Match as West...
Egyptian squash champions Mohamed and Marwan El Shorbagy have became the first siblings in 20 years to rank inside the world's top 10 at the same time.
Marwan El Shorbagy, 22, jumped two places in the PSA October ranking to occupy the No.10 position, while his older brother Mohamed maintained his first place spot.
September was a great month for Marwan as he reached both China Open and Kolkata International. After earning runner-up finishes in both tournaments, the younger El Shorbagy jumped into the world's top 10 for the first time in his career.
Marwan became the fifth Egyptian in the top 10 alongside his brother current world No. 1 Mohamed El Shorbagy, Ramy Ashour, Tarek Momen and Omar Mosaad.
Marwan has expressed his delight to psaworldtour.com saying, "making the top ten has always been a dream of mine and I have been working hard every day to try and improve my game."
"It's been a tough journey to the top ten but I am sure that I will only get tougher from now on and I feel ready and excited for the challenge," he added.
It is also worth mentioning that after five-month injury absence, three times world champion and 2010 world No. 1 Ramy Ashour have moved up to become fourth in his journey to regain the lead from compatriot Mohamed El Shorbagy.
Egyptian ladies have also dominated October's women ranking, as Raneem El Welily completed her first month in the lead after becoming the first-ever Egyptian woman to top the PSA rankings since their inception in 1983. Also, 17-year-old Nouran Gohar has jumped four places to become world No.9 and the fifth Egyptian in the top 10, alongside Omneya Abd El Kawy, Nour El Tayeb and Nour El Sherbiny.
The rankings were released few days after the 2020 Olympic committee snubbed squash's second bid for joining the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. The squash community was devastated by the decision and several Egyptian squash champions took to twitter to express their disappointment

It is kind of amazing to think that women were not recognized for their inventions until just prior to the 19th Century.
As we pass over 40, men and women begin to struggle with Prebyopia. Prebyopia is the increasing inability to focus on close objects and simply means that we will need a pair of reading glasses often for the rest of our lives. Lookie Lous becomes a great solution for comfort, style and functionality. They have even designed a pair for those of us with eye strain from excessive computer use.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
if an adult is out with under age kids past curfew can the police charge them with contributing to a minor if there was not any alcohol or other charges given to him
I don't practice in Iowa. Generally, yes. If there is a curfew, your 19 yo contributed to their staying out past it and breaking the law, then he can be charged.
Edward J. BlumAsk a similar question
Like Mr. Blum, I do not practice in IA, but I'm not sure I can agree with him. "Curfew," at least in IL (where I practice) is not an act of delinquency but is only a status offense. Thus, in my jurisdiction I don't see how one could be convicted of contributing to delinquency when the offense itself could not result in delinquency proceedings. That being said, the prosecutors can charge just about whatever they want; what they can prove beyond a reasonable doubt is a whole different story. I suggest you tap your yellow pages or search engine to ask your question specifically to an attorney in the county where your son is being prosecuted.

Last updated 10-29-2010
Expedition date: September 25, 2010
*The "cave in Missouri" has human footprints, bear paw prints and artwork, possibly dating back more than 500 years when it was sealed by a cave-in at its entrance. In exchange for generous access for scientific exploration and study, the landowners of the cave have requested that the location remain secret, in order to maintain their privacy and insure the cave and its rare artifacts are preserved.
On behalf of:
The Missouri Humanities Council and National Endowment for the Humanities, Cave.Archaeology.Investigation.Research.Network. (CAIRN), Missouri Caves & Karst Conservancy (MCKC), Springfield Plateau Grotto and Meramec Valley Grotto and Missouri Humanities Council, University of Kentucky Center for Visualization and Virtual Environments (CVVE), University of Kentucky Blazie Professorship and Transylvania University.
In a collaborative effort, teams from CAIRN (Craig Williams et al), MCKC (Jon Beard), the University of Kentucky Center for Visualization and Virtual Environments (CVVE) (Hassebrook et al) and Transylvania University (Begley) entered a cave in Missouri to capture 3-Dimensional scans of human footprints, bear paw prints and cave art. The cave is believed to have been sealed by a cave in at the entrance artifacts carbon dated to 1435 A.D, thereby preserving human footprints, cave artwork, bear paw prints and bear dens. The cave opened up in 1985 by a natural sink hole. We entered the cave through the sink hole by rappelling and lowering equipment by rope. The Scanner we used is based on Structured Light Illumination (SLI) and is battery operated for remote scanning without a generator. Hassebrook's group has significant experience in SLI Research and Development and are well known innovators in the field. The team was able to acquire ten 3-Dimensional scans of human foot prints and bear paw prints, and six 3-Dimensional scans of the cave art. The number of points in the 3-Dimensional data was around 2 million 3-Dimensional points. In addition to the 2Meg point clouds, the scanner captures an 18 million pixel color image. The point cloud and the color image can be combined into a single color 3-Dimensional scan. Every point has an RGB color value and an XYZ coordinate accurate in span to less than 1mm and point space accuracy of about 60 microns. The technique, developed at the University of Kentucky is called mixed resolution 3D scanning. The idea is to not limit what archaeologists already have. That is, keep the existing high resolution digital photography, but add the value of 3-Dimensional coordinates to every pixel which allows for scientific measurement. The team worked on two sites in the cave, one were the human footprints and bear paw and the other, known as the "art gallery" where the cave art is. The expedition was a complete success and the team was able to exit the cave, some by ascending by ropes and most by a cable ladder to the surface. The team is now in the process of analyzing the data and planning for future expeditions.

I've just played through the 'Last of us' demo included in the GOW: Ascension pack and I thought I'd give my initial impressions of it and what I predict for its place in the industry.
First of all I'd like to point out the demo was short, VERY SHORT. But it didn't really matter that it was short it showed me what I needed to know as a player. The graphics excelled through both the lighting and character animations though some of them might be familiar due to the engine used. The thing is it wasn't the graphics themselves that mattered it was the attention to detail of the actual environment , a ravaged landscape of broken buildings, broken civilization. It became immediately clear as I tread through the swamp like remnants of this 'city' that I felt an instant connection to the world. I looked around with the camera taking in every detail of this carefully crafted environment, an environment that didn't need the extravagance of some other game worlds of late to stand out, simplistic imagery with polished detail.
The second thing therefore I'd like to mention is the sound quality. The soft music in the background only adds to the beauty of the world being explored, creating tension with a soft build up to a crescendo in the action packed sequence when I was spotted by the runners (basically a type of infected) before lowering back down as I hid away creating an ominous silence that created tension. Whilst I'm on the topic of sound I may as well talk about the voice acting which is again from what I can tell top notch, Naughty Dog excels at creating a game which uses a cast of characters that appear to resonate with each other, which is all the more enjoyable for the player as we immerse ourselves in the game's world.
Finally and most importantly, the gameplay. Those of you going into this experience expecting Uncharted are very wrong. Some of the shooting mechanics are reminiscent of Uncharted, if not a lot more refined. What matters though is the difference in how you will actually play the game. First off obviously the jump button is gone from Uncharted because this game isn't a platformer. Next is the tactical nature of combat. As stated this demo was only about an encounter long but it gave me a grasp of what should be expected. You have to be careful to sneak around and preserve your bullets because there are hardly any, I ran out real fast when the clicker (other infected more difficult than the runners, only respond to sound) noticed me. It required two shivs to the face and a couple of gunshots (the gun only had 6 bullets) to the face to stop it attacking me, the clickers are no joke and I got killed by it the first time through. Unlike many other games which are about survival these days, Last of us seems to excel in creating tension and having you think on your feet as I found myself asking how best to adapt to the situation as I played through the second time on hard mode. Of note is the 'sound' mode which allows you to see through walls the sillhoutes of the infected to plan a tactical route. This adds a layer of depth to the game because this is not your typical run and gun this is a game which requires strategy.
I've only played about 15 minutes but from this I can tell the 'Last of us' will be something special when it ships June 14 and I believe at the moment that it may well become my new GOTY. If you have had TLOU off your radar I ecommend trying it out somehow, it will be out in a couple of weeks and will be a great way to top off your E3 week. I am absolutely excited for this game and will give my full impressions on the week after E3 as well as my thoughts on Microsoft, Sony's press conferences and Nintendo's Direct!
Have you played the demo? Will you be picking up TLOU day one? Excited for E3?

Here at Dread Central we get to see lots of things, but few of them make us sit up in our seats and say "WOW!" Fortunately this is one of those times, and we're sure you guys will have the same reaction when you see the latest trailer for Telltale Games' Jurassic Park: The Game.

This distinguished Russian film stars Inna Churikova, who starred in all of her husband Gleb Panfilov's award-winning films. The fact that she is very ordinary looking lends added piquancy to her fine acting. In this comic romance, she is Pasha, a factory girl who acts in amateur plays in her spare time. In one such play she was seen by a film director who asks her to play the role of Joan of Arc in a film of his. In this story, we see how her private life fails to improve substantially even as her status changes from factory girl to movie star. Large portions of the movie-within-a-movie about Joan of Arc are shown as the story proceeds.
Add this movie to your queue to receive more information about Nachalo and we will let you know when it
becomes available.

The Americana Song Academy for Youth is a weekend where students learn from professional musicians and instructors about anything and everything to do with songwriting. The annual event, produced by Sisters Folk Festival with sponsorship support from Cris Converse and The Roundhouse Foundation, was held at The Belfry in Sisters last weekend.
Laura Curtis and Slater Smith both were a part of the early days of the Americana Project at Sisters High School. Curtis has recorded her own record and lived in Nashville, and is now living in Portland and working in the field of politics. Smith is a part of the well-known band The Weather Machine. They both studied politics at Willamette University, under the same advisor. They've been able to use their studies in their music.
They are both returning instructors this year, and they love coming back every year to give back to the students.
"It's cool to see how the camp changes every year, and to see students progress over the years," said Smith.
Smith and Curtis taught similar classes, both focusing on writing songs for causes. Smith's class focused on creating characters and then finding what within that character you relate to; he had students write out any character or thought and then tease out what resonated most with them. Curtis' class was more about the introspective aspect of songwriting and how to take things around you and put them into songs.
This is Curtis' seventh year coming back to song camp.
"I love giving the support to the students that I got so much of us as a student in this community," Curtis said.
For her as an artist, she appreciates coming back and relating to other artists and exploring creativity in all its forms. As a young person, Curtis felt everything very deeply, and was always around adults and learning from them. She believes that now, through teaching, she is able to validate students' experiences and songs as art and help them to find the value in truly listening.
"The tone is set at the beginning: Everyone cares, everyone is going to treat each other with compassion, respect and love," said Curtis. She feels like she comes back here and is with "her people."
Curtis is now exploring what she is going to next in her musical career. She is working in Portland as a lobbyist with the Oregon legislature. She has been playing house concerts in and around Portland as a solo act and plans to continue on with her work and songwriting.
Smith has come back over the years to attend as well as instruct at camp.
"It always feels like going home, to the best part of home," said Smith of coming back for camp.
It wasn't long ago that Smith was a student and he notices how much the academy has progressed and how different camp is every year.
Smith noted that, as a student he received support from the Americana Project and the community to play music, and he saw that he had "permission" to express himself. He wants youth here to have that same permission to explore and think about life differently.
"I, and all the instructors get just as much out camp as the students," Smith said.
He noted that it brings them back to center and refreshes them, just as much as the students. The instructors are all inspired by the students' work and the program.
"I try to help students learn how their own brain works and how to work outside the regular norms and try to figure out what those are in your own head, and how to rephrase things and to find language or tactics for creating art specific to that person," Slater said. "That comes from the place of the Americana Project giving me permission to do that work."
Smith now is living and working in Portland. He has been working with Oregon State Parks and the Oregon Coast Visitors Association on a concept album for the 50th anniversary of the Oregon Beach Bill, which made all the Oregon beaches public property. He's been living in state park cabins in residency for the past two months and has been writing about the coast and what it means to him.
"It's a really meaningful place for me, especially when it's storming," he said. "I love it, and I've been in my own space and trying to write about this environmental bill, and also about the special space."
The Weather Machine and Smith have been recording his songs and the album is expected to come out this fall.
The Weather Machine will be playing as part of the Mt. Bachelor Apres Ski Bash on Friday, March 17, alongside the Moon Mountain Ramblers.
The event is at Crow's Feet Commons, 875 NW Brooks St. in downtown Bend at 6 p.m. The music is free and open to all ages.

In the beginning, revival preachers used their dynamic voices and dramatic sermons -- framed with entertaining gospel music -- to attract large crowds and to pull sinners into the Kingdom of God.This formula worked in weeklong revivals and, when tried, it started working in regular Sunday services. Big preachers drew big crowds and created bigger and bigger churches. Then along came the big media, which helped create a youth culture that exploded out of the 1950s and into the cultural … [Read more...]

The New York Giants were eliminated easily from the playoffs by the Green Bay Packers on the weekend, and wide receiver Odell Beckham didn't take it well. He allegedly punched a hole in the wall at Lambeau Field after the loss and has generally earned a reputation for throwing a solid temper tantrum whenever things don't go his way.
Members of the Giants organization have mostly given politically correct responses when asked about Beckham's outbursts. However, general manager Jerry Reese was singing a different tune when he met with reporters on Monday to discuss the season as a whole.
"I see a guy who needs to think about some of the things that he does," Reese said. "Everybody knows that he's a gifted player, but there have been some things that he's done that he needs to look himself in the mirror and be honest with himself about some of the things that he's done. […]
"We all have had to grow up in different times in our lives," he said. "I think it's time for him to do that. He's been here for three years now. He's a little bit of a lightning rod because of what he does on the football field, but the things he does off the football field, he has to be responsible for those things. We'll talk through it and I believe — I know — he's a smart guy. I believe he understands he has a responsibility being one of the faces of this franchise. I think he'll accept that responsibility." (Via Giants.com)
Reese refused to get into the specifics of Beckham's actions. The star wide receiver received criticism for attacking a kicking net in frustration this past season, and a much-publicized Miami boat trip (on an off-day) before their playoff game with the Packers has received plenty of scrutiny. In addition, Beckham has gained a reputation as a bit of a whiner when it comes to NFL officials.
Like Reese said, no one questions Beckham's incredible talents on the football field. But if the Giants are ever going to capitalize on having one of the best pass catchers in the game, Beckham needs to make sure his emotions don't get in the way.

Ahwatukee Girl Scout troops are in the middle of preparations for hosting their own fashion fair event for the Ahwatukee public.
The fashion fair is aimed towards the Girl Scout's completion of their community service, but also to bring Ahwatukee residents out for a day of entertainment.
The Girl Scouts also invited different local business vendors to provide their own informational tips.
For the fashion event, the 20 Girl Scouts were given the opportunity to shop at Justice in Ahwatukee to pick out what apparel they want to model, but will also be informing the audience on how to conserve on different natural resources and how to live a healthy lifestyle.
For instance, after the fashion show the Brownies will be passing out pamphlets, acquired from the Department of Health, to the crowd on how to limit the wasting of water usage such as turning the faucet off when not in use and wearing pajamas twice before washing.
"There's so many things that we can do on a day-to-day basis to conserve water, and our girls have learned that 1 percent of water is actually drinkable," said Karen Meinerz, co-leader of the Girl Scouts.
The Brownies will also be asking attendees to circle commitments they will complete to limit the amount of water usage.
"Every journey that we take during the Girl Scouts we have to do a community service project. Instead of going out to the community, we made the decision to bring the community to us, so by having this event the Brownies community service project is to create saving water awareness," Meinerz said.
As the Juniors move up through the journey curriculum they become agents of change by reaching out to the community about a certain topic and will have their own table at the fashion show, spreading awareness on different healthy tips that can be taken.
Since the Juniors are considered agents of change, they will be educating the community on how to live a more healthier lifestyle and what types of food should be consumed, the importance of nutrition, and will be focusing on a core age target of first and fifth grade.
"It's little things like that we can start to integrate at a young age and educate our peers on being healthy and safe," Meinerz said.
The free Fashion Fair will take place on Sunday, Dec. 8 from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. at the Ahwatukee Foothills Towne Center, 4609 E. Ray Road.
Although the event is free, the Girl Scouts encourage attendees to bring an unwrapped toy that will be donated to the Kyrene Foundation.
For more information about the event, contact Mienerz at (480) 540-1282.

Skip to comments.Right-to-Work Laws Shouldnt Exist, so Why Am I Happy about What Happened in Michigan?
Posted on 12/15/2012 8:05:00 AM PST by Kaslin
I was very critical of the General Motors bailout since it largely was designed to give undeserved special benefits to the UAW union. Im also very down of teacher unions because they sabotage reforms that would help poor children trapped in failed government schools.
And Im definitely opposed to the excessive pay and benefits that politicians grant to bureaucrats in exchange for votes and money from government employee unions (as cleverly depicted in this great Michael Ramirez cartoon).
So why, then, do I have mixed feelings about the recently enacted right-to-work law in Michigan?
Heres some of what I wrote almost 25 years ago for the Villanova Law Review, beginning with my general philosophy on the role of government in labor markets.
government should not interfere with certain personal decisions, including the freedom of employers and employees to contract freely, unfettered by labor regulations. My position is one of strict neutrality. The government should not take side in employer-employee issues. this is a question of property rights. If another person owns a business, I do not have a right to interfere with his choices as to what he does with his property so long as he does not interfere with my rights of life, liberty, and property.
Thats all fine and well. Standard libertarian boilerplate, one might even say, and Ive certainly expressed these views on television (see here, here, and here).
But then I explore some implications. If you believe in a system based on property rights and private contracts, then right-to-work laws are an unjust form of intervention.
a property rights perspective also would reject so-called right-to-work laws which infringe upon the employers freedom of contract to hire only union members which is something employers may wish to do since it can lower transactions costs. Some would argue that nobody should be forced to join a union as a condition of employment. The relevant issue in this instance, however, is not whether one can be forced to join a union, because a person cannot; if he does not like the union, he can refuse the job. The real issue is whether a business and its employees should have the freedom to choose to sign contracts which have union membership as a condition of employment.
All that being said, Im glad Michigan just enacted a right-to-work law. I know its not ideal policy, but my rationale is that most government labor laws (such as the National Labor Relations Act and the NorrisLa Guardia Act) tilt the playing field in favor of unions.
So until that glorious day when we get government out of labor markets, I view right-to-work laws as a second-best alternative. Theyre a form of intervention that partially compensates for other forms of intervention.
A good analogy is that I dont like tax loopholes, but I like the fact that they enable people to keep more of the money they earn. The ideal system, of course, would be a simple and fair flat tax. But in the absence of real reform, I dont want politicians to get rid of preferences if it means they get more of our money to waste. Deductions should only be eliminated if they use every penny of additional revenue to lower tax rates.
Returning to what happened in Michigan, lets close with an amusing cartoon that mocks Obamas dismal record on jobs.
P.S. Since Ive written something that might appeal to union bosses, I feel the need to compensate. So feel free to enjoy some good cartoons mocking unionized bureaucrats by clicking here, here, here, and here.
All right to work laws provide, is a choice for employees.
People who do not support what unions do, should have the ability to be teachers, auto workers, or anything else they want to do, without being shut out by a union.
I support that.
While we're pondering this issue, lets focus in part on the fact that employers cannot prevent unions from taking over. If employees vote to go union, the employer can either submit or close his business.
That's hardly a free market at work.
That has got to be the dumbest thing I read today. Of course it is not noon yet so I am sure some other piece of nonsense will assault me before the day ends but so far this is hands down the winner.
...and I don't like high taxation...
It looks like Panetta and Bob Beckel.
Greedy unions have destroyed themselves. As membership continues to decline, it will happen faster and faster until the only union left will be the Buggy Whip Union.
On the other hand in a fair world also the union would have nothing beyond its ability to sell itself on its own economic merits. It wouldn't be required by law to be recognized by anybody who didn't want to recognize it. You can't have unions-as-we-know-them-today coexisting with this kind of libertarian philosophy.
I can help this clown. If workers want to organize and possibly strike, then they should have every right to organize. And if they strike or cannot reach agreement, then the employer should have every right to fire them and replace them. That would level the playing field a bit.
Unionized health care workers will be in place once the federal government takes full control of our nation's health care.
The premise of his article seems to be that the employee is chattel of the employer or union and therefore not free...which is where we seem to be heading based on the actions of both parties. Serfdom is serfdom the only difference is who is the lord of the manor.
If it is your belief that the natural state would be no right-to-work laws and no anti right-to-work laws then I would agree. But given the sordid history of unions in the US - especially over the last forty years or so - I prefer legislation that protects an individuals right to work unfettered and unmolested by monsters.
If there really was a 'right to work' 24,000,000 would not be looking for jobs.
Mandatory union membership ought not to exist, either.
Fair point. I know this was the Democrat demographic that Reagan was able to capture and his lackluster successors have not.
Unions feel that the only ones with the right to work are Union members.
And despite what moderates try to convince us of, Reagan won that demographic with a complete social/fiscal conservative message. (not cowering from social issues)
I know among my union neighbors there was considerable support for Santorum. My neighbor even had a Santorum sign in his yard and he's a union steward.
"The relevant issue in this instance, however, is not whether one can be forced to join a union, because a person cannot; if he does not like the union, he can refuse the job.
That has got to be the dumbest thing I read today."
Oh, it makes perfect sense, just like no one can be forced to live under the current dictatorship, we all have the right to leave the country or drop dead, you see. Well, some may not have a passport or be able to obtain one but they can still drop dead if they don't like having their natural rights stolen from them. What? Does that not actually make perfect sense to you?
What planet did you say this is?
This is basically a repeat of the Federalists vs Anti-Federalists positions on the need for the Bill of Rights.
The Federalists arguing that the Bill of Rights wasn't needed because the Constitution made it clear that the Federal govt. only had limited "enumerated" powers. And that if you actually made of list of proscribed powers it would eventually be flipped around and used as a list of whatever is not proscribed is permitted.
And the Anti-Federalists arguing that they didn't trust the Federalists so the enumerated powers clause wasn't adequate. And they wanted to make certain some things were definitely off limits.
This is one of those rare moments when both sides ended up being right. There's no way in hell the enumerated powers clause would have stopped the statists from continually increasing the power of the Fed, And the statists have in fact turned the Bill of Rights on it's head by just ignoring the 9th and 10th amendments (just like they ignore the enumerated powers clause).
But I have to side with the Anti-Feds on these issues. Actually stating the proscriptions at least slows down the statists, especially for the politically popular proscriptions. So I'm all for "Right To Work" legislation that helps maintain the rights of free association even though it shouldn't be needed.
The people who scream about the right to a job, holler and caterwaul at the mere statement of the right to work. How is that possible?
