A new coffee shop could soon be coming to Neosho.
A new coffee shop could soon be coming to Neosho.
Longtime Neosho residents Terry and Kathy Tessmer approached the Neosho Traffic Commission on Thursday to get the OK to proceed on work to create a drive-through window and outdoor seating area at their building at 114 N. Wood St., just off the downtown square.
"I'm looking at a small coffee-shop, with wi-fi, kind of Starbucks-y like," Terry Tessmer said.
The Tessmers took their idea before the six-member commission because in order to create the drive-through window, the alleyway would be converted into a one-way, and to create the outdoor seating area, the sidewalk would need extended outward.
The traffic commission voted to recommend to the Neosho City Council that the Tessmers' be allowed to perform the proposed work.
That work would involve marking the alleyway, located between their building and Kelly and Compton, CPA, as a one-way, as well as extending the sidewalk in front of their business by about six-feet, into the parking space in front, to allow for an outdoor seating area.
"If the city approved this of course it would be my expense," Terry Tessmer added.
"As far as the parking place, basically you're taking up the parking space in front of your business, I don't have a problem with that," said councilman David Ruth, who also serves on the traffic commission.
Mike Hightower, public works director, said he did also not see a problem with converting the alley into a one-way, as there are plenty of outlets in that area.
While the traffic commission gave them the go-ahead, the Tessmers will go before the city council on Feb. 5 for final approval.
Terry Tessmer said they also plan to talk with their neighbors on both sides, Kelly and Compton, CPA and the Neosho Beauty College, to get their blessings before moving forward with the work.
While a new coffee shop moved into the Neosho Square only a few months ago, the Tessmers say there are still some coffee shop attractions not offered in Neosho.
One of those attractions is the option of a drive-through window.
"That is a big plus, that's why we're here tonight, to know if we could," Kathy Tessmer said. "There isn't any other place in Neosho like that. This building lends itself quite well to that."
Terry Tessmer said the concept of the downtown and historic parts of Bentonville, Ark., is part of the inspiration for the couple, and is what they would like to see on a smaller scale in Neosho.
"Being able to freely walk from Sam's Cellar to our place to the Grotto to Angelica's," he said. "Maybe have a Friday evening and Saturday night. A place for any age group is kind of what we're targeting."
The building at one time served as Severs-Stroop Plumbing and Heating and Kathy Tessmer said the building was built in the early 1900s.
The Tessmers said they plan to keep the historic value of the building's exterior, though they intend on giving the inside a more modern feel, and have already begun working with an architect.
At this point, Terry said the inside of the building has been gutted, though he wants to wait to do further work until the couple gets the approval of the city on their outdoor projects.
While the main attraction would be the coffee shop, the Tessmers would also like to create some meeting room space in the back, or perhaps an area that could be rented out for receptions or used for classes, such as Zumba.
Meanwhile, the upstairs could serve as an office space and also house a single apartment.
The Tessmers also own a lot behind the building, where Terry hopes to add parking or a patio area.
While the plans are still in the early stages, and the Tessmers are unsure just yet of an opening date, they do hope to open their doors to the Neosho community sooner than later, and named the early summer as the goal for a soft opening.
The intent, they said, is to offer Neosho residents a place where they can relax.
"We have visited lots of different cities, large cities, and loved coffee shops, the outdoor sitting area cafés, just the gathering of the people," Kathy Tessmer said. "There is a need. There's not a lot of meeting places for people to get together in the mornings, or after work, or wi-fi areas. We want to bring in something really relaxed and comfortable."

Review: Maker's 46 Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey
Posted by Arctic Wolf on January 11, 2011
I mentioned a week ago that I had received a collection of sample jars from the personal collection of J. Leslie Wheelock, (a member of the Alberta Beam Global team), which spanned an impressive range of unique whiskies from Canada, Scotland, and the USA. This week I dipped into the samples and chose Sample Jar # 13, Maker's 46 Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey.
Maker's 46 Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey begins where Maker's Mark Straight Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey ends. Bill Samuels, Sr. is credited with creating the first version of Maker's Mark in 1954. After a few years of practice the folks at the Maker's Mark Distillery have been producing this whiskey the same way since 1958. The process begins with pure limestone fed spring-water; follows with yellow corn, red winter wheat, and natural malted barley; continues with a unique milling, cooking, and fermentation process; and ends in a small batch distillation and moving (eg; rotating) barrel aging process. Of course the final result is tested and tasted to make sure it is just right.
In a recent display of innovation, Master Distiller Kevin Smith, began a sort of 'trial and error' series of experiments to come up with a new twist on the Maker's Mark. In December 2009, Maker's 46 was born. (click on the link to get the full story right from the Maker's Mark Website.)
In a nutshell, fully aged Maker's Mark is removed from its barrel, ten seared wooden staves are then placed inside of that barrel. (The staves are seared to caramelize the sugars in the wood.) These wooden staves are basically flat panels of wood each about 4 inches wide and 12 to 18 inches long. The aged Maker's Mark is then put back into the barrel and aged several more months. When the proper taste profile is achieved, Maker's 46 is removed from the barrel, bottled, corked and dipped.
I admit that after reading a little bit about Maker's 46, I was eager to give my small sample a few tasting sessions and write down my impressions. Here is an excerpt from my review;
"….Maker's 46 is surprisingly soft as it enters the palate, and I want to call this creamy in spite of the rush of wooden timbers and heavy toffee that quickly builds. Things are not as sweet as the nose would have implied however, and impressions of drier fruit, tobacco and cocoa seem to take hold at mid palate with the oak spiciness expressing itself as cloves and cinnamon…."

|Eleven Angry Jurors
|Josh Berman,
Andrew Lipsitz
|Matt Earl Beesley
|Original Airdate
|January 8, 2004
|Previous Episode: Coming of Rage
|Next Episode: Butterflied
Eleven Angry Jurors is the eleventh episode in the fourth season of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.
When a stubborn jury member in a murder trial is found dead himself, the investigation reveals that just about every other jury member had a motive and that there were a lot of ways in which the victim could have been killed.
In a flashback, we see a storm over Las Vegas; a husband and wife argue; he strangles her. In the jury room, the jurors argue over the evidence, and vote again. One of the jurors says that they don't have 'beyond a reasonable doubt' because there was someone else in the house that day, the cable guy. They take a break and wait for lunch while milling around in the hallway outside the jury room. The court officer tells them lunch is there; they go back in to the jury room and find Chris Gibbons dead on the floor. Brass and Grissom arrive and examine the scene; Grissom comments that Sartre was right; hell is other people.
They photograph the body; Grissom says his early opinion is blunt force trauma, and notes a medic-alert bracelet which shows an allergy to penicillin; Brass points out that they have 11 potential suspects. Grissom finds a blond hair; Brass tells him that one juror, Ms. Davis, is a blond; Grissom notes that there are no tags on the hair, but whoever it is, isn't a natural blond. Brass goes through the voting slips and finds that there are 11 guilty votes, and one not guilty, and points out that that could be the motive. Catherine arrives; the jurors are in the hall, arguing; they want to go home, and want to know if a mistrial is going to be declared. Catherine tells them that she has to interview them; she starts with Ms. Davis. Catherine tells her that they found a synthetic blond hair; Ms. Davis removes her wig, then admits teasing the deceased a little in an effort to get him to change his vote, but he turned her down. Catherine points out that attempting to influence a juror is a felony.
At the lab, Detective Vartann talks to Nick about a missing persons case that he was involved in four years ago; Rita Minden-Westanson, a case that Nick worked with Grissom. Vartann tells Nick that Rita's sister Faye is there, and she's now saying that it's a murder. Nick speaks with Faye and asks why she's coming forward now; she admits that four years ago she lied, and she's been living with the guilt ever since. They inform her that lying is a crime; she declines a lawyer, saying that that's not important. She tells them that four years ago, Rita, her sister, didn't disappear; she came home and found Aaron, her husband, in the barn with another woman; Rita said that she was going to leave, but Aaron lost it, and killed her. Nick points out that they investigated Aaron four years ago, and he had an alibi; Faye says that his alibi was a business partner who owed him money, and would have said anything; she also tells them that the business partner died a month ago, and he was the only other one who knew other than her. Nick asks what Aaron did with the body; Faye says that he put it in a barrel and set it on fire, adding that Rita burned all night, and in the morning, Aaron dumped her ashes in the water. Det. Vartann asks how Faye knows all this, and Nick correctly guesses that Faye was the other woman.
Warrick finds something that might be blood on the window in the jury room; he tests it, and it is blood. Catherine asks Mr. Jervis why he has bloody fingers; he tells her that he simply couldn't take it, and jury duty has been the worst experience of his life. He starts to talk about the case, but Catherine stops him, saying that since the case is still on-going, he can't talk about it. Mr. Jervis tells Catherine that Gibbons was the only hold-out on the jury, and he just wanted to get back to work; he lost his temper while trying to open the window to let some air into the room, and that's how he got blood on his fingers and on the window.
Nick looks through the photograph evidence in the case; Grissom asks if they missed something four years ago? Nick tells him that their conclusions were reasonable at the time, but now the witness, Faye, has changed her story. Grissom notes that since Nick was only a level 2 CSI at the time, it was Grissom's choice to close the case.
Dr. Robbins shows Sara hives on Gibbons' body, noting that he had a severe allergic reaction. He speculates that GIbbons choked as a result of an allergy, and hit his head as he fell. Dr. Robbins notes that Gibbons' medic alert says he's allergic to penicillin, and there are puncture marks on his body that would be consistent with him being injected with that. Sara comments that all the other jurors hated him, so it could have been any of them.
Faye takes Nick and Det. Vartann to the spot where Aaron burned the body, and tells them that although she hasn't been back there since that night, she's sure it's the right spot. Nick takes samples of the ground to test for gasoline fumes that would have settled into the soil as hydrocarbons. At the lab, the dirt is tested, but no evidence of hydrocarbons is found. The lab tech tells Nick that he's sorry that Nick didn't get the promotion, and he heard that Grissom only gave the promotion to Sara because of their history. Detective Vartann comes in and tells Nick that Terry Minden, Faye's other sister, recently got engaged to Aaron.
Catherine tells Grissom that there was no penicillin in Gibbons' system, only epinephrine; Grissom notes that Gibbons probably gave himself the shot, so they need to look for a syringe. Catherine talks to Greg and asks him to test Gibbons' blood for shellfish and the standard allergies. He runs the tests...
Warrick tells Sara that they're looking for nuts that begin with "P". They go over the lunch food, and Warrick notices some peanut shells under the table by Mr. Durham's seat. They look more closely, and find shells under Mr. Gibbons' seat as well. They talk to Mr. Durham, who tells them that he was just messing with Gibbons' head, and he didn't know that just by touching a shell it would send Gibbons into a fit; he tells them that this happened, and Gibbons gave himself a shot of epinephrine. Sara comments that none of the jurors mentioned this; Durham tells her that after the shot, Gibbons was fine.
They talk to Faye again, and ask why she didn't tell them about her younger sister, Terry. Faye tells them that she knew that it would come to this, and that she's not jealous of Terry, she's scared for her and doesn't want the same thing to happen to her as happened to Rita. They ask about Faye's relationship with Aaron; she says that it ended, not well or badly; she knows that if she told Terry what really happened to Rita, she'd just go to Aaron, and Faye knows what Aaron is capable of, since he made her help him dispose of Rita's body. She adds that it was a wet winter that year, but not raining the night that they burned Rita's body.
Warrick finds the epinephrine hypo that Gibbons used in the jury room; Sara looks through the chili that Gibbons ate; Warrick looks over the pop cans, and then sniffs one, and asks Sara if the peanuts could have come from peanut butter in an individually wrapped package, as that's what he's found in the pop can. Sara digs deeper in the chili and finds a glob of peanut butter in the bottom of the chili and decides that they're looking at a murder.
Sara tells Grissom that the defence has brought a motion for a mistrial on suspicion of jury tampering; Grissom doesn't understand how that could work. Warrick works on the peanut butter package, steaming it to see if he can get a print off of it.
Nick goes back out to the site where Rita was burned and digs deeper in the dirt, then runs tests for moisture, and cuts branches off the tree nearby, and takes it all back to the lab. Grissom points out to him that the soil doesn't support the evidence that they have from Faye; Nick tells him that the moisture that year was 18%, and 10% is a full saturation, so the extra rain could have washed away evidence of hydrocarbons, but the tree rings would show any anomalies. He counts back on the rings, and finds that the one from four years ago is thinner and distorted, which could be evidence of a toxic event, like something being burned. He has the branches tested by using sawdust from them to find evidence of hydrocarbons, which they find in the sample.
The Court Officer tells Catherine that the jury had been sequestered for two and a half weeks. She asks him about their food; he tells her that breakfast and dinner were at the hotel, but lunch was at the courthouse, and always from the same place; Gibbons had chili every day, because of his food allergies. Catherine asks about the jury's access to the vending machines; the Court Officer tells her that they had access to them, and adds that they weren't allowed to have cell phones, but he caught one of them with a back up cell phone which he confiscated even though the battery was burned out. They talk to the juror; he claims that he was taking pictures of the other jurors so that he could make a scrap book later on; Sara points out that he just had $30,000 deposited into his bank account; he admits that he sold his story to a tabloid, noting that it's a high-profile case, and the jurors were at each other's throats, so the tabloids wanted the story.
Nick and Detective Vartann go to Terry's place; Aaron is there, and he remembers Nick from the investigation four years ago. He asks if they've found Rita; they tell him that they have a warrant to take a sample of gas from the tank on his property. Terry informs them that she's a lawyer, and wants to know why they want the gas; Aaron tells them that he had nothing to do with Rita's disappearance. Nick goes to the back of the property, and stands looking at the barn; he tells Detective Vartann that four years ago, he and Grissom went over every inch of the place, and he's sure they didn't miss anything; they found no signs of a struggle in the barn. As Nick pumps the gas out, Detective Vartann asks why it's red; Nick tells him that because it's used for agricultural purposes, it's colored so that it can be distinguished for tax purposes, and there are no taxes on agricultural diesel fuel.
Warrick finds a partial print on the peanut butter package, and runs it through the system. He matches the print to one of the jurors; she tells him that she was supposed to get married in five days, and she just wanted to go home; she's already missed her dress fitting and bridal shower. She tells them that when the lunch food came, she put the peanut butter into Gibbons' chili and mixed it in, but then at the last minute, she changed her mind and gave him the chili that she'd ordered for herself. She tells them that as she handed it to him, he dropped it, and so took her chili instead... the one with the peanut butter in it. She insists that she didn't know that it would kill him, because when the other juror threw the peanut shells at him, he didn't choke up, he just got hives. She just wanted him to get sick, so that the alternate would be put in in his place, and they could end the case, and she could go home and get married.
Greg runs tests and determines that the peanut butter isn't what killed Gibbons; the levels in his blood were insufficient to cause a reaction on the level that would be fatal. The cause of death was anaphylactic shock, but from some other source.
Nick tells Detective Vartann that the fuel in the tree was not diesel; Vartann suggests that maybe four years ago, Aaron was using unleaded gasoline. Nick has contacted the Nevada Department of the Environment and found that Aaron only ever had diesel fuel. Nick checks for other places where unleaded gas might have come from; he finds that there's only one other gas tank in the area that has unleaded gas, and it's Faye Minden's.
Dr. Robbins determines that Gibbons didn't die of a food allergy, and that if it were something environmental, then some of the other jurors would have reacted too. He examines the body and pulls a stinger out of one of the puncture wounds. Grissom tells Sara that they're looking for another body; they return to the jury room and search the floor for a bee; Sara finds it by the table leg. She comments that Mr. Jervis complained about the heat in the room and opened the window, and that's how the bee got in.
Nick goes to Faye's farm with Detective Vartann. She asks them if they went to Aaron's farm, and thanks them for pushing forward with the investigation. They ask if they can take a sample of gasoline from her tank; she thinks that Aaron has turned on her. They go to her tank, and Nick notes that it's marked "Unleaded Only." Nick tells her that the gas used was unleaded; Faye tells them that she now remembers that Aaron's tank was empty, so they had to use gas from her tank. Nick goes into her barn and looks around, notes that she has barrels and various farming implements that could be used to kill someone. He sprays them to test for blood, and gets a positive result on a tree branch clipper. He comes out of the barn and tells Faye that he believes her that her sister was murdered; blood evidence doesn't disappear, and Rita was murdered... by Faye. Nick tells her that she killed Rita, put her in the barrel, and burned her body, all so that she could be with Aaron. Back at the lab, Nick explains to Grissom, saying that when Aaron chose Terry, Faye tried to pin the murder on him. Grissom asks if Nick agrees with the decision that Grissom made to close the case four years ago; Nick says that four years ago, he agreed, but now he'd fight Grissom on that decision, pointing out that they can't just ignore the human element. Grissom points out that when you start to have feelings about the case, you lose objectivity; Nick says that he's not Grissom, and adds that he can live without the promotion as well. Grissom tells Nick that they don't need another Grissom around the lab; Nick leaves, and Grissom turns to the computer to type up a report in which he recommends Nick for a promotion.

Microsoft showed its new 'Softgrid' technology today that allows apps to run as if they were inside a second copy of Windows. But unlike traditional virtualisation apps, there's no second Windows desktop getting in the way. For example, Microsoft showed Office 2003 and Office 2007 running side-by-side, even though they can't actually be installed on the same copy of Windows. Initially, the technology is for corporate users only, but it has huge obvious benefits for home users as well. First steps towards this?

Australia's most significant property listing does not officially hit the market until late January, but already the international marketing campaign has begun.The Fairfax family's decision to sell the historic Victorian mansion Elaine was announced in September and has dominated talk in the prestige real estate market since, with agents speculating on how to value the trophy property.There is no official price guide on the Point Piper estate but experts say it could sell for $100 million. Only a handful of Australians could afford to buy the property, let alone maintain it.
That's the Fairfax mansion at Sydney's exclusive Point Piper (link here).
Meanwhile across town there is nothing like the shine of a new landmark building project coming to life in a falling market:
THE Sydney skyline is set to be transformed across the next three years with a host of office buildings planned, but some in the industry warn that an oversupply looms as these developments enter a tough leasing market.An analysis by one of Australia's leading property consulting firms LPC Australia has suggested that the spike in developments could lead to 355,000sq m being released between next year and 2017: between five and seven years of supply.Sydney already has about 437,000sq m of unlet office space, about 9 per cent of the market, as the city has struggled with the contraction of the banking sector since the global financial crisis (here).

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – This past weekend, the nationally-ranked No. 18 coed sailing team hosted the New England Intercollegiate Sailing Association (NEISA) Team Race Championship where it finished eighth out of 12 squads. The Engineers were also represented at the George Morris Trophy and captured 14th place.
MIT kicked off the NEISA Championship by posting a 3-2 ledger in its group on Saturday, as it defeated Tufts, Connecticut College, and Bowdoin but fell to Yale and Brown. In the first Gold round robin, the Engineers topped Tufts; however, they were unable to win the remainder of their races. The Cardinal and Gray battled the same seven opponents in the next rotation but it could not pick up another victory. MIT's pairs for the weekend were senior Eamon Glackin (Huntington, N.Y.) and junior Kelden Pehr (Seabrook, Texas), junior Andrew Sommer (Duxbury, Mass.) and senior Steph Tong (Hong Kong), and freshman Chloe Lepert (Belmont, Calif.) and junior Steven Drapcho (Newton, Pa.).
At the George Morris Trophy, senior Tevis Nichols (Skylonder, Calif.) and junior Taylor Burfield (Naples, Fla.) placed 13th in the A Division. In 12 rounds, the duo entered the top 10 on six occasions including one fifth-place and two sixth-place performances. Freshmen Laura Dunphy (Shelburne, Vt.), Zack Drach (Wilmington, N.C.), and Priyanka Chatterjee (Columbus, Md.) along with sophomore Keren Gu (Bowie, Md.) collaborated for a ranking of 15th in the B Division. The quartet won the ninth race, finished ninth in the fifth and seventh rotations, and was 10th in the sixth round.

text: good morning, here is plan revision #3 , I came up with it while riding my bicycle yesterday, and e-mailed it to Matt Wiley of Race Tech as soon as I got home. I want to purchase another right side ( rebound ) damping rod and check valve assembly , modify it per Race Tech's recommendations and install it in the left side, with a gold valve on top. Matt e-mailed me back yesterday and said this will work !!! he said they have done similar conversions, which I take to mean not a R 100 GS . anyway there you have it Matt says it will work great if I don't mind spending the dough ! so its off to the dealer to order up, they told me yesterday $169.25 for what I need. unfortunately the parts are coming from Germany so it will take 3 weeks to get them. so as near as I can tell I will have the first R 100 GS with compression and rebound damping in both forks, cool. all because my local shop told me " the kit comes with 2, of course you use them both " serendipity ! how about that? now all I have to do is figure out how to get the spring seat off the end of the damping rod ( per race tech's instructions ) , it looks like it is pressed on. I will e-mail Matt on Monday and ask his recommendation.

Truth: Just because you choose to dine solo does not mean you can't find a date. Sometimes, you may just want to enjoy a meal without making casual conversation — Hallmark holidays included. Because not only is it convenient, but it's empowering, too. But if a table for one feels daunting, we've got a few tips from life coach Betsy Sobiech of Tiara Coaching to take the edge off.
"First, feel proud knowing you are a confident, grounded, urban woman [or man] who really does do what she [or he] wants. Second, choose a restaurant where you'll be satisfied by the environment, as well as the food. Third, be open, aware, and accepting of how you're feeling and the environment around you. You might feel a few different emotions, which is normal," she says.

How the Test is Performed
After you provide a urine sample, it is tested right away. The health care provider uses a dipstick made with a color-sensitive pad. The color the dipstick changes to tells the provider the level of acid in your urine.
If needed, the health care provider may ask you to
How to Prepare for the Test
Your health care provider may tell you to stop taking certain medicines that can affect the results of the test. These may include:
- Acetazolamide
- Ammonium chloride
- Methenamine mandelate
- Potassium citrate
- Sodium bicarbonate
- Thiazide diuretic
Do not stop taking any medicine before talking to your provider.
Eat a normal, balanced diet for several days before the test. Note that:
- A diet high in citrus fruits, vegetables, or dairy products can increase your urine pH.
- A diet high in meat products or cranberries can decrease your urine pH.
How the Test will Feel
The test involves only normal urination. There is no discomfort.
Why the Test is Performed
Your doctor may order this test to check for changes in your bodys acid levels.It may be done to see if you:
Are at risk of
Need to take certain medicines to treat
Normal Results
The normal values range from pH 4.6 to pH 8.0.
The examples above are common measurements for results of these tests. Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test result.
What Abnormal Results Mean
A high urine pH may be due to:
- Kidneys do not properly remove acids (kidney tubular acidosis, also known as renal tubular acidosis)
- Kidney failure
- Stomach pumping (gastric suction)
- Urinary tract infection
- Vomiting
A low urine pH may be due to:
- Diabetic ketoacidosis
- Diarrhea
- Too much acid in the body fluids (
metabolic acidosis), such as diabetic ketoacidosis)
- Starvation
There are no risks with this test.

STROUD MP Neil Carmichael has said parliamentarians need to be 'transparent' when it comes to their expenses in light of the Maria Miller controversy.
Speaking after her recent visit to the Five Valleys Mr Carmichael, echoing David Cameron's sentiments, said Mrs Miller, Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, had learnt a 'salutary lesson' but it was now 'time to move on'.
An inquiry was launched into her expenses in December 2012.
It cleared her of making false expenses claims, but said her 'submission of incomplete' evidence to the inquiry had breached the MPs' code of conduct.
The Commons Committee on Standards ordered her to repay £5,800 to cover over-claiming of mortgage expenses after she failed to cut her claims as interest rates fell.
In the Commons yesterday, Thursday, Mrs Miller apologised to MPs for her attitude towards an inquiry into her expenses.
The controversy comes just a week after the Culture Secretary visited Stroud to discuss broadband and the Fastershire project which is being implemented in parts of the district.
Mrs Miller met residents and local stakeholders at The Bell at Selsley on Thursday, March 27 to discuss the Government's ongoing investment to ensure that 90 per cent of households have superfast broadband by 2015.
Mr Carmichael raised queries forwarded by residents from areas including Chalford, Coopers Edge, Purton and Stonehouse, where homeowners and businesses have struggled with low broadband speeds.
During the meeting Mrs Miller said: "Broadband is an essential aspect of quality of life. Parents want their children to be able to do their homework on the computer at home; rural businesses want to be able to compete, and faster broadband is an essential part of that."
After the meeting Mr Carmichael said: "I am delighted that Maria Miller was able to join us today, and to see what the Valleys and Vale has got going for it.
"Faster broadband around the constituency is crucial to encouraging business investment and boosting the Stroud economy, and I will continue my work to ensure that superfast broadband is rolled out across the district."

Visualizing a Plenitude Economy
A post-consumer society with "people working fewer hours and pursuing re-skilling, homesteading, and small-scale enterprises that can help reduce the overall size and impact of the consumer economy. Narrated by economist and best-selling author Juliet Schor (http://www.julietschor.org)."
Views: 176
Do those Dutch workers get full benefits for 80% workloads? Can they live on 80% incomes? The trend here has been for corporations to eliminate full time jobs for part time workers who get no benefits and can't support their families. My sister had been full time for a decade. But when she didn't want to work weekends, because she has three kids, she was demoted to part time and lost her health insurance. Had to start over with a new deductable in the middle of the year too for the new you-pay-everything insurance. This "Plenitude" Economy assumes the part time people aren't starving, having their lights cut off, and losing their houses because they can't make ends meet. Do the CEO's work 80% and get 80% salaries too?
And why should health insurance be tied to jobs, anyway? If the purpose of insurance is to spread the risk, to make it manageable -- rather than to give away a third of the money to a predatory layer of unelected corporate bureaucrats and shareholders -- a universal single-payer system, where the entire nation is the group, simply makes sense.
Here everyone has got compulsory health insurance, from just born to not yet dead, to share the risks. And it works. Not easily: as always, where there are large funds there are also the parasites - they are hard to get rid of. And the economic crisis makes the system harder to maintain: once you could go to your GP and get a box of painkillers for free, but that is long ago. Now there are very many things not covered by the insurance, and the monthly payments go up and up, but the basis stands; you get most of the help you need for free.

|Metformin in the Treatment of Antipsychotic-Induced Weight Gain in Schizophrenia (METS) - Pilot Study
|Brief Summary
|This study will test the usefulness of the medication metformin in treating people with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder who are overweight and also taking antipsychotic medications.
|Detailed Description
Schizophrenia is a chronic mental disorder that is characterized, in part, by psychotic symptoms. Psychotic symptoms include hallucinations and delusions, in which a person has abnormal experiences or beliefs, and are commonly treated with antipsychotic medications. Unfortunately, a side effect of many antipsychotics is unwanted weight gain, which can lead to physical illness. Use of the drug metformin has resulted in weight loss among diabetics. Metformin has also been shown to cause weight loss in preliminary studies of people taking atypical antipsychotics—a newer, second generation of antipsychotic medications. Metformin is currently approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat only people with diabetes. This study will test the usefulness of prescribing metformin as a second medication to treat people with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder who are overweight and taking antipsychotics. The study will also provide important feasibility information for future larger studies.
Participation in this study will last 16 weeks. After undergoing baseline assessments, participants will be randomly assigned to receive either metformin or placebo, both of which will be taken twice daily for the duration of the study. All participants will also receive behavioral therapy that will teach them about reducing their weight through diet and exercise. Participants will undergo assessments at 11 study visits: the first 2 will include screening and baseline testing, the next 2 visits will take place after the first and second weeks of receiving treatment, and the last 7 visits will take place every 2 weeks until the end of the study. Assessments will include measurements of body weight, waist-to-hip ratio, and vital signs; clinical interviews about medication adherence, side effects, and alcohol use; and monthly blood tests to assess levels of lipids, glucose, insulin, and hemoglobin A1c.

A horribly out-of-sorts Judd Trump bowed out of the Betfair Masters at the quarter-final stage today, losing 6-1 to Graeme Dott.
Trump, on whom fans of the game have rested their hopes following the self-imposed absence of favourite Ronnie O'Sullivan, delivered an uncharacteristically poor performance.
The Bristol man has not looked himself since winning the International Championship in China last autumn - he was knocked out of the UK Championship in the first round - but it is hard to recall a poorer performance from him since he rose to prominence at the 2011 World Championship.
That it took Dott until the final frame to post a break of substance - a fine 111 - showed how the scrappy an affair it was, with the Scot benefiting from taking his chances, something Trump failed to do.
Time and again he left routine balls in the jaws of the pocket. Often he missed by inches and berated himself as he walked back to his seat.
"It's weird, you expect Judd to play well and sometimes, if someone doesn't play well, it puts you off," Dott told BBC2.
"He really struggled from the first frame. I've not had any form for the last four or five months and even today I felt I missed a lot of bad shots.
"It was going to be hard for Judd to live up how he had been playing."
Until Dott's century it was an attritional affair, with him taking a 2-0 lead with moderate contributions, with his long potting the difference.
Trump got back to 2-1 despite a rash of misses in the third but that would be his last success. Dott ran away with it after that, taking the fourth after Trump missed a simple red, swiping at the air as he did so.
A 54 from Dott took it to 5-1 and, with the game almost locked up, he produced his hundred to get over the line.

Election Wrap-up
Abbas Wins District 20
Democrat's election is certified by the state
The Place in Nob Hill
Redevelopment in Nob Hill takes off, and ticks off some area residents
Nob Hill is waiting for something spectacular. Already one of Albuquerque's favorite shopping destination points (and many people's favorite living destination points), the corridor seems destined for bigger things. Like playing host to a light rail system that the city aims to plop down in coming years, or moving forward with more infill development, higher walkability and, therefore, more pedestrian traffic. In fact, running neck-and-neck only against East Downtown (EDo), Nob Hill has a chance to be the premiere location for new urbanism in the state. And it may all begin with The Place.
Council Watch
A Culture of Fear
A special Council meeting on Dec. 12 provided a public forum on the city's All Hazards Emergency Operations Plan. The plan addresses wars, floods, earthquakes, fires, hazardous materials, infrastructure damage, civil disturbances, epidemics, energy shortages, major plane crashes, terrorism, severe snowstorms, water shortages, bus and train accidents, tornadoes and landslides. But all the public wanted to talk about was radioactive threats. Councilors Debbie O'Malley and Brad Winter were excused.
Ortiz y Pino
Cutting and Running
I swear, sometimes the Republicans are just too clever for their own good. Karl Rove, the brain behind the Bush White House, has built an enviable record as a successful strategist largely on his talent for capturing in just a few words the conventional wisdom about a person or situation.
Odds & Ends
Dateline: Germany—If you're looking for the holiday spirit, Germany may not be the place to find it. A department store Santa on his way home from work was beaten by stressed-out shoppers in Wiesbaden. Stefan Stettler, 31, was still in character and chatting with other passengers while waiting for his train home. Police say two men, apparently stressed after a full day's Christmas shopping, went ballistic when asked to "tell Santa what they want for Christmas." The men took Stettler's sack of presents and beat him over the head with it. Stettler broke several fingers trying to protect himself. "Around this time of year, shoppers seem to get this glint in their eyes and you can just see they are going to go off any minute," Stettler said. "I should have known better. But, come on, who beats up Santa Claus?" Police are still searching for the unknown assailants.
As you may know, Mark Guest, one of the leads in the Vortex Theatre's most recent production of Moliere's Tartuffe, was taken ill at the beginning of the run and died this past final weekend. I cannot imagine what went through the cast's mind or that of director John Hardman, whose task was to take over Mark's role, no mean feat under the circumstances.

So, I currently have a few friends who are into no-sugar cleanses. Personally, I think it's a sensible idea, but it's become a little too trendy for my tastes and I've been busy stockpiling my organic, evaporated cane juice for an important reason: recipe testing for the newest in-progress Post Punk Kitchen cookbook has begun! I'm pretty much resurrecting The Piehole's delivery service for all my local friends and humming the pie song from Waitress on a creepy, regular basis while wearing my cuter aprons.
I've warmed my feet in the syrup waters with two projects so far:
First up, Strawberry Handpies in Puffy Pie Dough
Each handpie is topped with coarse sugar and heart-shaped slits for my friend Millie's Heartwarming party. Regardless of oozing some of the filling, they're so freaking cute!!! And they rode a bus!!
Secondly, Sweet Potato Brazil Nut Crunch Pie in a Single Pastry Crust
This was the first pie I've sliced and hand-delivered to friends. Go, go magic pie and crust making!
Apple Cashew Creme Crumb is up next!

Holy Cross Teams Receive NCAA Public Recognition Awards
Related Links
April 22, 2009
WORCESTER, Mass. - Fourteen Holy Cross varsity athletic teams have received Division I Academic Progress Rate public recognition awards from the NCAA. These teams posted multi-year APR scores in the top 10 percent of all squads in their respective sports. The public recognition awards are part of the broad Division I academic reform effort.
Holy Cross' 14 total teams to be honored tied for the eighth most in the nation. Other schools with at least 14 teams receiving public recognition awards were Yale (28), Brown (21), Dartmouth (21), Penn (19), Harvard (18), Princeton (18), Bucknell (17) and Notre Dame (14).
The Crusader programs to be honored with public recognition awards were baseball, men's basketball, women's basketball, women's cross country, football, women's golf, women's lacrosse, men's swimming and diving, softball, women's swimming and diving, women's tennis, women's indoor track and field, women's outdoor track and field, and volleyball.
The APR provides a real-time look at a team's academic success each semester by tracking the academic progress of each student-athlete. The APR includes eligibility, retention and graduation in the calculation and provides a clear picture of the academic culture in each sport. High-performing teams receiving awards posted APR scores ranging from 976 to a perfect 1,000.
Multi-year APR scores for all NCAA Division I sports teams, including the teams receiving public recognition awards, will be announced May 6. The announcement also will include immediate and historical penalties for low-performing teams.

Protect Pacific Herring
The goal
Pacific Wild is working with central coast communities to highlight the importance of herring while also advocating for an end to the unsustainable kill fishery so that stocks can rebuild and a locally-based spawn-on-kelp fishery can flourish.
The issue
The small silver Pacific herring (Clupea pallasii) is considered a foundation species for the B.C. coast because of the contribution it makes as an ecosystem driver for both the marine and terrestrial realms. In early spring, the annual herring spawn provides a rush of nutrients at a critical time of year to a plethora of wildlife, including seabirds, marine mammals, wolves and bears. Herring may spawn up to ten times in their lives.
Central coast herring stocks have declined precipitously over the past 100 years, to the point of local extirpation of spawning in many areas. Overfishing is commonly thought to be the main cause, while recovery may also be hampered by changes in water temperature, elimination of elder fish that guided schools through migration and spawning, and increases in predators and competitors. The extent of the herring's role in ecosystem function in not fully understood, nor is it taken into account in federal fisheries management. In addition, government methods for estimating herring stock returns are highly uncertain.
For decades, the Heiltsuk and other First Nations have been advocating for a sustainable fishery that would allow central coast stocks to return to their former abundance. However, Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) continues to support the corporate-controlled kill-fishery, even against the recommendations of its own scientists.
The traditional First Nations spawn on kelp (SOK) fishery involves the suspension of tree branches, kelp fronds and other seaweeds in sheltered areas where herring spawn prodigiously in early spring. The roe builds up in multiple layers on the substrate until harvesters collect it, and the adult fish are left to spawn again in the future. In contrast, industrial seine and gillnet fisheries (collectively known as the sac roe fishery) net and kill the herring and export the roe, while the rest of the fish is mainly used for pet food, fish farm pellets and fertilizer.
In 2016, after months of negotiation, the Heiltsuk Nation announced it had reached an agreement with DFO for managing the 2016 herring fishery within their traditional territory. This new plan promises a reprieve for the threatened herring and a level of transparency and collaboration previously unseen on the coast - but it hasn't come easily. The Nation's focus is now on managing the traditional fishery and pushing to improve and extend the collaborative planning process to 2017 and beyond. Many of our supporters raised their voices to support the Heiltsuk Nation during the 2015 conflict with DFO, which led to the co-management agreement for 2016. We thank you! Stay tuned for updates - we hope to see a long-term commitment to co-management for herring, and agreements reached in other territories on the coast as well.
The Importance of Herring
Like the foundation of your house, herring is the foundation on which the Great Bear Rainforest is built. It is a small fish with a major role in the lives of nearly every coastal species on land or underwater in BC. It provides an important link between tiny plankton and larger fish, marine mammals and birds. For millennia, this forage fish has provided sustenance for humans to whales to wolves to birds. Fish, such as salmon, perch, and hake, feed on the larvae shortly after they hatch. Seals, sea lions, whales and numerous types of birds feed on adult herring.
Fisheries managers have argued that climate change and variations in predator abundance have been contributing to coast-wide declines in herring in recent decades. However, many observers point to commercial fisheries as the culprit, which began in the late 1800's when herring were harvested en masse to make fertilizer and fish oil. An archeology study of fish bones found along the coast of Alaska, British Columbia and Washington (McKechnie, year) showed that one species, herring, was consistently the most abundant and ubiquitous fish in the 171 sites. The study of sites up to 10,000 years old also provides sobering "deep time" evidence of consistent abundance and distribution of herring. Only until the industrial kill fishery started in the late 1800's did stocks begin to collapse.
Each year, the waters turn black as countless tonnes of herring migrate from offshore waters to more sheltered nearshore bays and estuaries where they spawn en masse. Pacific herring spawns are relatively short-lived, lasting approximately three weeks each year at any given location. In some areas, millions of birds, thousands of sea lions, seals - in addition to orca, humpback and grey whales all converge on the spawning grounds. The migration of shorebirds to their northern nesting grounds and the northern grey whale migration are time perfectly to feast on the annual herring spawn.

Dorothy Rose Rock, 87, of Bemidji, MN, formerly of Crookston, MN resident, died at her residence, Cedar Cottage, on Thursday evening, October 10, 2013. Dorothy was born at Red Lake Falls, MN on October 22, 1925, the daughter of Joseph and Leah (Roi) Huot. On August 21, 1946 she was united in marriage to Lester Dale Rock at Dorothy, MN. The couple made their first home in Thief River Falls, MN where Les worked as a jeweler, before moving to Hallock, MN where they purchased a jewelry store. In 1957 they settled in Crookston, and became the owners of Rock's Jewelry and Gift Stores in both Crookston and nearby Warren, MN, as well as, operating stores in Fosston and Karlstad, MN. Sadly, Les was killed in an airplane crash on September 19, 1972, while flying near Leonard, MN, east of Bagley. Dorothy continued to run the Crookston store until her retirement after selling the business.
Dorothy is survived by 6 daughters and 4 sons: Colleen and Mario Martinez of LaSalle, CO, Charlow and Paul Bakken of Crookston, MN, Rosalyn and Gary Rock of Boise, ID, Mary Lou and Brian Nielson of Rosemount, MN, Marcy and Ken Beich of Rochester, MN, Julie and Steve Donahoe of Independence, MN, Richard and Jean Rock of Erskine, MN, Rodney and Susan Rock of Bemidji, MN, Thomas and Barb Rock of Claremore, OK, and John Rock and special friend, Judy Cudo of Rockford, MN; 23 grandchildren; 17 great-grandchildren; a sister, Marion Arneson of Granite Falls, MN; 3 brothers: Roy Huot of Grand Forks, ND, Dale and Arlene Huot and Bernard and Evie Huot of St. Hilaire, MN; and many nieces, nephews, and other relatives. In addition to her beloved husband, Les, Dorothy was preceded in death by her parents; and 2 sisters, Ella Vickery and Lorraine Bondley. May God bless Dorothy's memory.
Mass of Christian Burial for Dorothy Rose Rock will be celebrated at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Crookston on Tuesday, October 15, 2013 at 2:00 p.m., with The Very Rev.

It looks like the failures of both the HTC ChaCha and the newly doomed HTC First weren't enough to dissuade Facebook from making more Facebook-branded devices. If you don't remember, the HTC First was discounted from $99.99 to $0.99 on contract soon after launch, and people assumed it was because the device wasn't selling well. Then the entire launch for the UK was indefinitely put off. Finally, Facebook publicly stated that you can turn Facebook Home off on the HTC First.
Undeterred, Mark Zuckerberg visited South Korea and met with Samsung executives this Tuesday. According to industry watchers, they discussed the idea of a "Facebook-friendly" Samsung phone. I don't know why, but that doesn't sound like a great idea to me. This anonymous watcher said, "Facebook has every intention of becoming the second Google, and with that intent in mind, Zuckerberg is said to have asked Samsung to step up cooperation by launching a phone with a Facebook interface." Luckily, it seems that Samsung is reluctant to actually create this device. "Samsung doesn't want to help nurture a second Google, which is now becoming a formidable rival for Samsung in the handset business."
Samsung thinks associating with the Facebook brand would provide them no benefit, and I'd have to agree. There is no reason for Samsung to make a Facebook phone; you can already install either Facebook Home or the standard Facebook app on a few high-end devices and be done with it. There's no need for a dedicated Facebook phone, and as consumers have already dictated on multiple occasions, they will not buy it. What are your thoughts on the whole "Facebook phone" concept?

Your College Major Is a Minor Issue, Employers Say
College students, here's a tip: Your major doesn't matter as much as you think.
So says a new survey by the Association of American Colleges and Universities, in which 93% of respondent employers cite critical thinking, communication and problem-solving skills as more important than a candidate's undergraduate major.
The survey, which rounds up responses from 318 companies that hire new graduates--including Raytheon Principal Financial and Boston Scientific-- found that firms want well-rounded candidates because they're filling positions with broader responsibilities (93%) and more complex challenges (92%) than in the past.
As a result, problem-solving and communication skills, and not business majors, top hiring managers' wish lists.
"There's been a big disconnect between what employers say to educators and what the public and policy leaders believe matters in college," says Carol Geary Schneider, president at the Association of American Colleges and Universities, an association that advocates for undergraduate liberal-arts education.
A major is only "part of the portrait" for a job applicant, she says.
To be sure, some majors offer more earning potential than others, as we've discussed here and here. But that has more to do with the industries in which graduates land jobs than with employers' personal preferences regarding transcripts.
Meanwhile, 95% of respondents say they prioritize skills that can contribute to innovation. (What those skills might include can be a bit fuzzy, though, as "innovation" can be an overused and ill-defined buzzword in corporate circles.)
The survey is part of a broader push by AAC&U to better match school instruction with actual employer needs. More than 200 college presidents and employers are pledging to support a liberal arts education, expand access to hands-on learning and better track schools' success in achieving learning goals like complex problem-solving.
Schools have plenty of room for improvement: Just 56% of employers expressed satisfaction with the job colleges are doing to prepare graduates for workplace success. And while 67% believe college graduates have the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in entry-level positions, just 44% think graduates have what is required for any real advancement in their organizations.
One interesting tidbit from the survey is surging demand for, or at least acceptance of, electronic portfolios, which look something like this.
This year, 83% of employers said the digital files would be useful, up from 56% in 2008. The tools, being adopted at schools including Clemson University and Salt Lake Community College, can add depth to a candidate's resume. For example, an e-portfolio can include a video clip from a class presentation to showcase oral communication skills, or a group project can be tagged as meeting a school's required teamwork competency.

XAI-XAI, Mozambique (Thomson Reuters Foundation) – In this vast agricultural region of southern Mozambique, dark water flows slowly down canals cut into the farm fields. In an area prone to droughts and floods, the canals help deal with both problems, carrying irrigation water to valuable squash and tomato fields in dry times and carrying away floodwater in the wet ones.
The canals and the small-scale irrigation system they belong to are part of a broader 70,000-hectare water management system that is being rehabbed and expanded with investment from the multilateral Climate Investment Funds to boost food security and incomes and lower disaster risk in the region.
Experts hope that the system of irrigation schemes, dykes and levies, coupled with better education and agricultural support for cash crops and processing facilities will help the disaster-prone region build greater resilience to worsening extreme weather and other climate impacts.
Southern Mozambique has already seen the problems weather extremes can bring. Catastrophic flooding in 2000 – the worst in 50 years – claimed 800 lives in the region, left 540,000 displaced and cost the country as much as 10 percent of its annual GDP.
Since then, recurring droughts, punctuated by extreme rainfall, have become almost "normal" weather in the region, farmers say.
In a report on climate change impacts released in late March, the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) predicted that sub-Saharan Africa could see its maize harvests fall by a third by 2050 as a result of increasingly erratic rainfall and extreme weather.
That's particularly bad news for Mozambique, one of the poorest and most climate-vulnerable countries in the world, and a rural nation that relies heavily on subsistence agriculture.
The new water management system renovates an older, smaller set of canals that have long existed in the region, and aims to work with other interventions, such as education and crop processing, to reduce climate risks.
The Baixo Limpopo Irrigation and Climate Resilience Project attempts to address the needs of three distinct farming groups: small-scale famers with less than four hectares, farmers who have formed themselves into farm associations or cooperatives, and large-scale corporate farmers, able to assist with technology transfer and training for the other two groups.
More than a thousand workers are helping dig and maintain the canals, and hundreds more are involved in construction and other projects. At the centre of the effort is an irrigation system driven by a large new pumping station in Xai-Xai. The station, set alongside the Limpopo River, pulls water from nearby rivers to help farmers grow food in dry periods. It can also pump out excess water to keep big floods from damaging vulnerable crops.
It runs on mains electricity but a big new generator will keep it running even when the national power grid fails during catastrophic flooding, organisers say.
Getting the water balance right is key. If the pumps and canals don't work effectively together, too much water can pool on the floodplains and drown years of agricultural investment. But over-pumping to avoid flooding can dry out crops elsewhere, agricultural advisers say.
If water can be effectively managed throughout the year, however, it means farmers in the region are free to grow food year-round in an area that once had only a four-month growing season.
The water control project is a combined effort with Mozambique's government and Regaidio De Baixo Limpopo (RBL), a para-state company that manages the water system. It is drawing on $86 million in grants and near zero-interest loans from the African Development Bank, International Finance Corporation and the World Bank, channeled through the Climate Investment Funds' Pilot Program for Climate Resilience.
The Mozambican government and the African Development Bank chose to use RBL to develop the irrigation project, as part of efforts to build public/private partnerships that can scale up the work. The irrigation project aims to benefit about 8,000 small-scale famers, many of them women, who are learning how to move from subsistence agriculture to becoming what the project terms "emerging commercial farmers."
The money will flow until 2017, at which point it will be assessed for further funding.
Many of the canals associated with the project have existed for some time, as part of an older irrigation system. But that system fell into decline, and many canals silted up with mud during the nearly three decade-long civil war that wracked this country of 25 million people until 1992.
Now those canals are being rehabilitated. RBL builds, manages and maintains the canals and associated pump houses, with the aim of keeping strict control over water flow and canal levels. During drought or flood, the aim is to ensure farmers are still able to grow an abundance of crops.
Besides its civil war, Mozambique's government has at times struggled with problems of mismanagement, which has led to slow progress on some economic and social efforts. But farmers associated with the water management programme say this partnership seems to be doing its job.
Antonio Jose Gaveta, 44, and his wife Lucia have farmed near Xai-Xai since 1988, and are now scaling up their efforts thanks to the improved water supply.
Clearing his field for his first cash crop of beans, cowpeas and carrots, he wipes his brow and looks out over his fields. "Things are much better now in the last few years since RBL started working with us. In fact, it has never been this good," he said.
He has been getting training and assistance from RBL's Sebastian Ferro, who likes to say his desk is the front seat of his 4x4 truck. Ferro helps mentor hundreds of "emerging" and small-holder farmers, spending 12 hours a day criss-crossing the networks of canals and drainage systems.
A big man with a bigger smile, he is nonetheless realistic about the challenges facing the region. "Only with real training and daily work will this happen. There are no shortcuts to farming," he said.
One of his trainers is also an "emerging" farmer who has been growing crops here since 1984. Miguel Gonca, 53, stands next to his rice crop, which is drying out for the coming harvest. Some of his temporary workers walk through the field shaking big plastic oil cans full of beans to ward off hungry crows.
"The conditions have gotten a lot better for farming here. Before, I did not see this level of organisation," he said.
Crucially, he said, the water management project has sought out his traditional knowledge about the area and included him in decision making.
"I did not feel all those years ago that I am a part of the process going on here. I was just told what to do. Now I feel like I know all about it, why and when I must plant, and how I can make more profit," he said.
It all comes down to money for Armando Ussivane, the CEO of RBL. Before taking up his current job he was an agricultural research scientist running the nation's soil and water conservation program. Ussivane believes that if small-holder and "emerging" farmers can make money from their fields, despite changing weather conditions, then he is doing his job.
"Now we are focusing on climate resilience", he says in his car as he rushes from meeting to meeting after starting his work day at 7 a.m. "Small-scale farmers are getting microprocessing centers for their produce to maximize cash inputs. Before, nothing was integrated here. Now the production, processing and marketing links up the value chain even for the smallest famers."
This means that farmers like Gonca now have support to help choose, plant, grow and market their crops.
Ussivane has high hopes, but the challenges facing the project are big ones.
Eduardo Cuamba, 37, is the coordinator of the Sustainable Land and Water Management project for Gaza province. He comes from Chokwe, one of the project areas, and one of the most drought-prone parts of the country.
The twin evils of poor governance and lack of political will that have plagued similar projects are acute in Mozambique, he explained. Just as important is a lack of basic education.
Mozambique has one of the highest rates of illiteracy on the world, and since the civil war ended 20 years ago the government has struggled to develop its education system. If people are not educated, Cuamba said, they are unable to grasp the basic ideas of supply and demand and democratic responsible government, and battle to diversify their incomes by learning new techniques and trades.
The overall success of the project's efforts to boost agricultural livelihoods and incomes in the face of climate change, he believes, will ultimately rest on the success of its efforts at educating farmers about new opportunities and risks.
"Education is the key," Cuamba said.

(BEDFORD) - 20-year-old Cody Silvers, of Norman, is back in jail.
Silvers, who is facing charges of leaving the scene of an accident resulting in injury and leaving the scene of an accident causing death was ordered back to jail by Lawrence County Superior Court I Judge Michael Robbins.
The accident killed 16-year-old Kassi Lewis-Yoskovich and injured 14-year-old Noah Brown, both of Medora. Kassi's father; Stephen Yoskovich; wearing a purple t-shirt with "Fly High Kassi" on it, was in court along with other family members.
After the judge entered a not guilty plea on Silver's behalf, he ordered Lawrence County deputies to handcuff Silvers placing him back under arrest.
"You were allowed out on bond contrary to court's order," Robbins stated. "You are on probation in Jackson County and therefore the order of this court is he will be held without bond and will be placed under arrest at this time. You cannot be out on bond if you are on probation in another case."
Silvers, who is now clean shaven and dressed in a blue t-shirt and jeans, had several family members in court who were not happy with Judge Robbins' order.
Robbins informed Silvers of the penalty of the crimes he is charged with. If found guilty he could face 2 to 8 years on the Class C felony of leaving the scene of an accident causing death and 6 months to 3 years on the Class D felony of leaving the scene of an accident causing injury.
Silvers also requested a public defender, but Judge Robbins denied that request.
"Considering you were able to post a $2,000 bond and not that that bond is going to be released you can apply that to hire your own attorney," Robbins says. "If that changes and you cannot use the bond money to hire an attorney, I will reconsider your request for a public defender."
Robbins ordered a pretrial conference for September 23 at 1 p.m. to see if Silvers had hired an attorney. Another pretrial conference was also set for October 23 at 9 a.m.
According to the probable cause affidavit, Silvers was driving a green Chevy S-10 that collided with a moped driven by Brown in the curve of George Johnson Road. Following the collision, Silvers stopped briefly and then fled the scene.
According to witnesses, Silver backed up his truck, saw the teens laying in the roadway and then fled towards Leesville.
Lawrence County Detectives secured video from a store near the accident scene showing Silvers flee the scene in a green Chevrolet S-10 that had a white hood and a diamond tool box and cooler in the back.
Detectives, who discovered pieces of rubber from the tires of Silvers' vehicle, were able to follow Silvers across U.S. 50 onto Norman Road where the trail ended about 30 feet north on Norman Road. They then located marks on the asphalt - where the vehicle was driving on the rim. Detectives followed those marks to a drive way in the 12700 block of West County Road 100 North.
Silvers was at the home and officers were given consent to search his home and outbuildings. There they found the green Chevrolet S-10 in a pole building. The white hood had been removed from the truck and was leaning against the wall.
Police say someone had removed the damaged right front passenger tire and changed it with a different one. The three other tires on the vehicle all were matching and clean, while the right passenger tire was dirty, and the rim that it was on appeared to be damaged; consistent with having been driven on asphalt.
Officers also found the cooler next to the truck, the document states.
Police questioned Silvers, who admitted that he was the driver and that when saw he had hit the teens, panicked and took off.
Silvers bonded out of jail around 9:30 p.m. Tuesday after posting a $2,000 bond.
Silvers has a criminal history. On Oct. 11, 2012, Silvers was County charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated with endangerment, a Class A misdemeanor, and operating a vehicle with a Schedule I or II controlled substance, a Class C misdemeanor in Jackson County.
He pled guilty to one of the charges and the charge of operating a vehicle while intoxicated with endangerment was dismissed. He was sentenced to 60 days in jail and placed on probation.
