When McConnell Golf purchased Sedgefield Country Club in early 2011, its new owner recognized significant improvements to the longtime host site of the Wyndham Championship would be necessary in order to help restore the club to its former glory. Numerous, well-publicized upgrades were made prior to the 2011 Wyndham, while others are ongoing.
Most significantly, with an eye on having Sedgefield's Donald Ross-designed golf course ranked among the state's Top 10 within the next five years -- and preventing the club's maintenance staff from having to worry about hot weather and its effects on bent grass greens every summer- - McConnell Golf CEO John McConnell decided to convert Sedgefield's green complexes to the more heat-resistant grass strain Champion Bermuda.
McConnell said the decision followed considerable research and after his company sought the advice of its maintenance supervisors and Sedgefield's advisory board. Golf course architect Kris Spence oversaw the nearly half-million-dollar project, which included enlarging the second green in the back for a better pin position and modifying the front of the 17th green. Spence also added bunkers around the greens on No. 5 (two new bunkers back right and one front left) and No. 15 (behind the green) to better reward great shots and penalize bad ones on the tournament's two par 5s. The bailout area left of the 15th green will now feature heavy rough rather than a closely mown area.
When defending Wyndham Championship and U.S. Open champion Webb Simpson returned to Sedgefield for media day in late June, he rolled a few lengthy putts across the club's ninth green toward his most recent pair of silver trophies. Simpson unwittingly offered the crowd in attendance a taste of what may be in store for the field during the 2012 tournament by stroking his second putt all the way off the front of the green.
"With Bermuda greens, Sedgefield becomes one of the great golf courses on the PGA Tour," said Simpson, "It's going to be really a good thing for the tournament. As a player we love things that are challenging. [Sedgefield] was difficult before. Now it's going to be even more difficult. I think it's safe to say that the days of 20-under par are over. I've always loved Sedgefield, but I'm really looking forward to playing the Wyndham on the new greens."
In addition, two-time Wyndham Championship winner and 2012 Ryder Cup captain Davis Love III said he was equally pleased about the decision: "Changing the Sedgefield greens to Bermuda grass is great news for the members at Sedgefield, but it's also great for the Wyndham," said Love. "I thank Mr. McConnell for having the vision and leadership to make this change. The new greens will allow the course to be played the way Donald Ross intended most of the year. I look forward to playing Sedgefield's new greens."
Champion Bermuda grass greens are emerging as the go-to choice for many of the country's finest warm-weather golf clubs such as Seminole and East Lake. After McConnell reached the decision to transition the club's greens in the months prior to its 2012 PGA event, he sent head course superintendent Keith Wood down to Juno Beach, Fla., to visit venerable Seminole and see what major champions like Ernie Els and Graeme McDowell had been raving about.
"Just to see what the top of the bar was," said Wood. "This is what the best of the best looks like, so I can get that mental picture in my head and try to reproduce that as I'm moving forward. What I noticed about (the Seminole) greens was that they are receptive to very good golf shots out of the fairway. You can get the ball to sit where you wanted to and stay. But if you miss, and you have a chip shot around the green, it was really, really dicey.
"That's the way we want it to play (at Sedgefield). It's the architecture around here. We want these green surrounds to stand out and have balls rolling off the green if somebody hits a bad shot, whereas before, with the bent grass in August, someone could drop-kick a 5-iron and it's going to stop close to the pin."
Wood echoed Simpson's belief that the days of nearly everyone in the Wyndham field shooting a low score are over. And he made assurances that the new greens are in tip-top shape for the 2012 Wyndham Championship even though the greens re-opened just two weeks before the tournament.
"This very first year -- and this is coming mainly from conversations I've had with others superintendents that have switched to Champion -- during the first year when you open, (the greens) are the best they're going to be, because they are so new they're going to be so firm and they haven't had a chance to develop any sort of thatch or grain issues," said Wood. "Everything is going to be just absolutely perfect. I am anticipating this year being one of our best years as far as the putting quality on the championship, without a doubt."
Wood was not even concerned during a two-week stretch during the middle of the summer in which temperatures around the Triad consistently hovered around triple digits. "This is the first time I've not been afraid of a heat wave," he said. "With Bermuda grass, you can get rough with it when it's growing in the summer. With bent grass, you have to hit it with kid gloves. You better make sure it's really soft punches and that you make sure you're doing things exactly right or you're going to kill it. It's so nice to play offense. With that bent grass we're always playing defense."
Wyndham Championship fans will enjoy an enhanced sense of arrival at Sedgefield with the completion of extensive landscaping along Forsyth Drive and the entire clubhouse exterior and interior. Designed by Leo Dowell Interiors in Charlotte, the updated interior brings fresh, vibrant color schemes to the main level of the clubhouse, while the stunning white stairwell is adorned with black-and-white photos of past tournament champions, as well as historical photos of the golf course and clubhouse. An extensive makeover to the Conference Room now offers a gorgeous setting for 20-person business meetings. Finally, the new Fitness and Family Activities Center and Pool features the latest in state-of-the-art strength and cardio equipment complete with Cardio Theater, men's and women's saunas, massage therapy, and a new Greenside Café featuring outdoor dining overlooking the ninth hole from a greenside patio, and a 25-meter pool from the poolside patio. The club's new fitness center will house the Irwin Smallwood Media Center during the Wyndham Championship.
During the Rex Hospital Open, TPC at Wakefield Plantation in Raleigh unveiled a subtle yet substantive facelift courtesy of McConnell Golf. An interior renovation to the 32,000-square-foot clubhouse gives the entire building a brand-new look and feel. Following the tournament, TPC Wakefield's practice facility began a complete renovation of the chipping green, and the practice target and fairway area. There are plans to add a teaching center to the practice facility as well, which will include indoor hitting bays and video teaching technology that will bring a whole new dimension and an elevated experience at Wakefield Plantation.
Treyburn Country Club in Durham also recently completed a nearly yearlong renovation just in time for the spring golf season in tandem with Tom Fazio's architectural firm and Spence construction team. The first and most vital aspect of the project was to replace the decades-old, Penncross bent grass greens with a newer, more heat tolerant 96-2 bent grass which provides a much better putting surface during the summer months. While reseeding the greens, they were rebuilt to their original specs, while also providing better drainage to each complex. Also, every bunker on the Treyburn golf course was upgraded with new drainage and the best white sand available, and several new bunkers were added. In some areas, the bunkers were re-designed or moved to increase their relevance and provide better visual shaping of the holes that is synonymous with Fazio golf courses, while others were added for strategic purposes. Treyburn's two-decade-old practice facility also received a face-lift.

It was certainly expected that the controversy surrounding the Patriot's alleged use of under-inflated footballs would be dubbed deflategate. You can accuse the media of a lot of things but originality isn't one of them.
Another thing you can't accuse the media of in this matter is impartiality, or objectivity, or fairness. The rush to judgment, the lynch mob mentality, the pack journalism, the presumption of guilt, the reliance of opinion in the absence of fact, and the clown show of sports-talk and talking-head analysis have been startling. It has also been revealing. I now know what it must feel like to be a Yankees or Cowboys fan.
But back to gates.

When San Antonio passed its nondiscrimination ordinance, Houston became the only major city in Texas without such protections for its LGBT community.
In a press conference Wednesday, Mayor Annise Parker said it was time for the Bayou City to follow suit.
"It is something we should do," she said. "And the majority of council members have publicly stated they are in support of a nondiscrimination ordinance. This is an issue that requires all of the council to be engaged and agree it's time to move it forward."
However, in Houston, the council is unable to pass an ordinance without a voter approval. Because of a charter amendment, an ordinance similar to the ones in Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin or the one recently passed in San Antonio would have to face a voter referendum.
"We watched what happened in San Antonio and we'll certainly talk to them about the process and then we'll make our own decision," Parker said.
But the process in Houston would be quite a bit different than in the other Texas cities where ordinances passed without going to voters for charter amendments.
Parker is up for re-election for a third and final term as mayor. Jessica Michan, a spokeswoman in the mayor's office, said she did not expect any action on an ordinance until after the election.

Richard Morgan was an atheist whose views were driven by Richard Dawkins' book The Blind Watchmaker. Read the following article about how he became a Christian.
You can read the article here.
It has been my experience that atheist arguments have a large amount of ad hominem (personal attacks). This story supports those findings. But what a difference Christian charity can make! Author David Robertson wrote a response to Dawkins titled The Dawkins Letters. This information plus Robertson's loving manner won the day.

Offshore notice accounts require you to tell the bank in advance of making a withdrawal. In return the offshore bank may offer a higher rate of interest than you would get on an easy access savings account.
The length of notice you need to give to access your savings will depend on your specific account. If you can't wait the length of the notice period to access your money, you may be able to get at it earlier by paying an interest-based penalty.
Offshore savings accounts tend to pay higher interest rates the more money you can put into them, with the majority of the best buys needing a minimum investment of £5,000 to open an account.

Are there Teacup , Toy Pomeranians, Mini Pomeranian, Miniature, Pocket, Teddy bear, or Standard Pomeranians ? Simply no, nearly all of these terms are not utilized by registered show Pomeranian breeders.
Frequently, prospective Pomeranian owners wanting to obtain a typical high quality, correctly sized Pomeranian ask for a Teacup Pomeranian or Mini Pomeranian. Officially neither variety of Pomeranian exists. Purchasing your puppy from a registered show breeder will ensure that your Pomeranian will mature correct to the breed standard.
What is the Pomeranian breed standard you ask ? The breed standard is the "blueprint" of the breed. Dedicated show breeders carefully select for the traits and characteristics described in the breed standard. By participating at dog shows, show Pomeranian breeders are able to evaluate and compare breeding programs.
Pictured above Pomeranian puppies bred by a registered show Pomeranian breeder. These puppies can be expected to mature to be typical examples of the Pomeranian breed. As pictured below in the 3 photos.
Without study of the breed standard, meticulous selection for breed quality and regular evaluation of breeding programs by participating at dog shows the very essence of the pomeranian is quickly lost. Breeders who are dedicated to the breed do extensive health testing and prove their Pomeranians in the show ring prior to breeding. These type of breeders are often referred to as conservation breeders, as they are working to preserve the Pomeranian dog.
Pomeranians bred by people who do not show their Pomeranians may look adorable and very cute as young puppies. New owners are often captivated with the appealing ball of fluff, but are purchasing a totally different dog to the "show" type Pomeranian.These puppies frequently mature considerably larger than the Pomeranian breed standard, lack the correct Pomeranian double coat, becoming very long in back, long nosed, having big ears & a low set curly tail.
Many pet Pomeranian purchasers are dismayed when their Pomeranian puppy does not grow up to look similar to "Boo". It should be explained, I don't see show flaws as detrimental in pet Pomeranians. I adore each and very Pomeranian which exists. All dogs are lovely, but if you intend to purchase a Pomeranian safeguard yourself by spending a little extra time selecting your Pomeranian and purchase from a show Pomeranian breeder.
Click on this link or go to the right menu we have a link to the best, reputable, registered, Show Pomeranian Breeders worldwide. Find a good Pomeranian breeder close to you.
Is there a throwback Pomeranian? Simply No! There is no dog breed called a throwback Pomeranian and there is not an official term "throwback Pomeranian". Perhaps this term could be used to describe a pet shop/puppy farm or backyard breeder type Pomeranian, which often resemble a German Spitz more than a Pomeranian.
Pictured below the type of "Pomeranian " puppy sold via pet shops, newspaper advertisements, back yard breeders etc. This type of Pomeranian puppy can be expected to mature into a dog of the quality pictured above right. If this is the type you favour consider researching the German Spitz.

MONTRÉAL, QUÉBEC--(Marketwired - Aug. 25, 2014) -
Editors Note: There is a photo associated with this press release.
Aéroports de Montréal (ADM), in partnership with the Republic of Haiti's Autorité aéroportuaire nationale (AAN) and with the support of the Canadian Embassy in Haiti, is pleased to announce the donation of airport equipment for Cap Haïtien International Airport. About 100 check-in counters, mechanical scales, some 2,000 luggage trolleys and more than 500 seats, all from the former airport terminal building at Mirabel, are heading for Miami, with Haiti their final destination.
"With this donation, we are hoping to contribute to enhancing the Republic of Haiti's airports system, which will in turn help the country's tourism industry," said ADM President and Chief Executive Officer James Cherry. This is a first delivery of airport equipment for the country. More Haitian airports may also receive other equipment from the former Mirabel terminal, closed since 2004.
This gesture is a natural outcome of the longstanding friendship between Canada and Haiti. Following the devastating earthquake that struck the Caribbean country in 2010, ADM donated relief supplies and provided humanitarian assistance to receive nationals returning to Canada. In addition, at the request of the International Air Transport Association (IATA), experts from ADM recently took part in a planning project for Port-au-Prince airport.
ADM has been developing its industrial cargo platform at Mirabel since 2002; nearly 30 companies and organizations employing about 3,700 people have established themselves there. Including air cargo-related operations plus the aeronautics industrial sector, this is 96% of the employment in the Mirabel International Airport site's mission! In fact, since 2009, total job growth was 2.9%, just over three times faster than overall job growth in Québec (0.8%)! ADM notes that the call for tenders issued this past May 7 is for the former terminal building only.
About Aéroports de Montréal
Aéroports de Montréal is the local airport authority that has been responsible for the management, operation and development of Montréal-Trudeau and Montréal-Mirabel international airports since 1992. The Corporation employs 650 people at both airports and at head office.

Little Chicago [Soup & Salad Bar]
Even though I have been to Little Chicago before back when it was a THRIVE Lunch destination, for whatever reason we neglected to write about. Well, I'm here to remedy that situation. The other day I was craving something reliable for lunch (can't try new places every day) and Little Chicago quickly rose to the top of the list. Little Chicago is slightly off the beaten path between Darboy and Kaukauna, just off Calumet Street on Friendship Drive.
Awesome Haddock Chowder
The last time I was at Little Chicago I distinctly remember being envious of my fellow THRIVE'ers and their tasty looking sandwiches. Well, I guess I'll still have to remain envious because on my most recent visit I opted to go for the soup and salad bar instead of a sandwich. Yes… it looks like I'm back on the diet bandwagon (sort of). The salad bar is pretty typical fare. Everything was plenty fresh and there was your typical array of salad bar offerings.
This is where the aforementioned "sort of" comes into play. I'm not usually a chowder kind of guy, but the Seafood Chowder at Little Chicago looked way too tempting. I could see the huge chunks of seafood floating around in there and that was enough to tempt me with a bowl (or two). As it turns out, the "seafood" chowder is just haddock (we asked), which was fine by me. Oddly, there was probably just about as much fish in two or three hearty bowls of this soup as there is in a plain old haddock dinner. It was that CHUNKY. Which, in turn, made it pretty awesome.
In addition to the salad there was a couple different types of pasta salad, both of which were good. There was also an assortment of crackers, salad dressings, and honestly, there was a second soup choice that I don't even remember because after tasting the chowder it didn't matter anymore.

What's up --and Blooming?
All these flowers can be seen from the roads and trails!
We want you to enjoy the flowers; photograph them, tell them you love them, BUT please stay on the roads and trails so that you do not trample the plants and/or compact the soil, thus destroying what you seek to admire. Left unmolested, others may also enjoy them, and they can reproduce and still be there for future generations to enjoy and study; and the wildlife will still have the habitat and food upon which their lives depend.

Results for Human Performance
Parquet Courts Human Performance
Indie rock four-piece Parquet Courts formed in Brooklyn in 2010 with three of its members originally from Texas. They debuted with a limited cassette release in 2011, but it wasn't until they released Light Up Gold in 2012 that they really turned some heads. The record was reissued on a bigger label in 2013, and after releasing two semi-official albums, Parquet Courts is back with Human Performance.
Greg thinks Parquet Courts have captured what it's like living in New York City—isolating and overwhelming at once. This mood hangs over the whole record, even during what he calls the back-and-forth conversations between Andrew Savage and Austin Brown. Savage writes melancholy break-up tunes, and Brown responds with optimism. Greg thinks that while the record does not reach the masterpiece-status of Light Up Gold, it's a Buy It nonetheless.
Jim agrees that it's a Buy It, loving the jaunty piano, droning organ and sound effects. He recalls Parquet Courts being referred to by critics as slackers on their last album, sparked in no small part by the song "Stoned and Starving," but Jim clarifies that there's nothing lazy about their songwriting and thinks "Dust" is a brilliant track. Jim nods to the dialogue between Brown and Savage, but finds even more compelling the rapport between their guitars.

TThe Eastern Cape is well known as the province where Nelson Mandela was born and grew up. The two main areas, namely Mthatha and Qunu are home to the two branches of the Nelson Mandela Museum. The Mthatha branch is housed in the Bhunga building, a large white building with three wings.
The Bhunga Building itself has been used as a meeting place for local tribes and authorities for many years. Loosely translated as, "Caucus" or "Council", it now serves as a museum dedicated to the great man and his life story.
AAt one stage, the white, pillared building was used as the seat of the United Transkei Territories General Council, the seat of the Transkei Legislative Assembly and the seat of the Republic of Transkei Parliament. Its imposing look is now softened with banners of Tata Madiba both in youth and in his old age.
The Bhunga Building
IInside, one can find many exhibits, trinkets and gifts that were given to him. There are also interactive activities designed to get the youth involved in understanding his legacy.
TThe Bhunga building officially opened in 2013, and with it came much needed renovation of the historic building and its various parts. The three wings are now gleaming white, and rival their former glory. The pictures and other artworks of Nelson Mandela stand proudly inside its halls, and hopefully will for years to come.

Chef Vikas Khanna tread a course from a childhood in Amritsar, India to adulthood as a successful New York chef, part of the vanguard of Indian cuisine in this country. The common link, the tie that binds the cosmopolitan chef to his traditional Indian upbringing, is flavor. And Flavors First is Chef Khanna's tribute to that—a personal culinary memoir, a guide to the pantry and practices of the regional Indian cuisine that he knew in his youth and brings to his sophisticated cuisine at Junoon. Khanna knows better than most that to master the flavors of Indian cuisine, you have to develop a working familiarity with its vast, colorful array of ingredients, especially the spices. So before he delves into the book's many recipes, Khanna unpacks the Indian spice cabinet, and from there, goes on to elaborate on the many facets of an Indian meal, from chutneys and parathas to Home-Style Lamb Curry (Khanna's all-time favorite). Woven throughout the book are Khanna's reflections and recollections—more than worth investigating from a man who literally knit his way into his first catering business (check out page 139). Khanna's input is both practical and emotional, a reflection of the chef and the man—wisdom earned and cherished in a life spent exploring a grand culinary heritage.
2004 James Beard Award Winner for International; 2004 IACP Award Nominee for International Category; From one of the world's best-loved authorities on food from India and the world comes an evocative and irresistible survey of the world's greatest dishes. Starting with classic curries of her native India, Madhur traces the outside influences that have left their mark on Indian food and goes on to show how the Indian diaspora has mingled the flavors of India with the cuisines of Africa, the West Indies, Asia, Europe, and South America. She concludes with a look at Indian cuisine as it is practised everywhere, from the Pacific Rim to her own kitchen in the United States.
India Cookbook is comprehensive—and it isn't afraid to brag about it. Billed as "the only book on Indian food you'll ever need" on its front cover, this impressive work from cookbook author and University of New Delhi professor is appropriately culinary and scholarly. An info-packed introduction explains some of the history of Indian food (influenced by Greek envoys, Arab traders, Portugeuse explorers, and, of course, the British) as well as its medicinal, regional, spiritual, and cultural characteristics. From there, Pant delves immediately into the over 700 pages of recipes (a strong argument for the "only book on Indian food you'll ever need" idea), from the "heart and soul of Indian cooking" spice blends to chutneys, appetizers, breads, pulses (legumes), desserts, and more. Color photographs of dishes like "Split Red Dal" and "Goan Fish Curry" bring the dishes to vibrant, mouth-watering life.
2004 James Beard Award Nominee for Writing & Reference; In the tradition of M.F.K. Fisher, Shoba Narayan weaves together a fascinating food narrative that combines delectable Indian recipes with musings about Indian culture, tales from her life, and stories of her delightfully eccentric family. The pages of Monsoon Diary confirm a central truth: Life is lived in the kitchen. In this creative and intimate work, Shoba Narayan's considerable vegetarian cooking talents are matched by stories as varied as Indian spices--at times pungent, mellow, piquant, sweet--about her childhood in South India and her life in the U.S.
This cookbook, by the chef and co-owner of Tabla in New York, demystifies the flavors of Indian cooking and shows you how to use them in dishes that range from simple soups to flavorful chutneys. Cardoz truly illustrates the meaning of "fusion" by bringing Indian spices and American dishes together in delicious recipes like Sautéed Black Sea Bass with Mustard Curry.

There is no particular diet to recommend for someone with lung cancer and certainly not one that will affect the condition in any way. I would always recommend to someone in this situation to eat any foods that he or she fancies. Food should be enjoyable and pleasurable, and this is especially important when you are very ill and suffering from cancer. As this person is also diabetic, foods that are very high in sugar should be limited so that sugar levels remain well controlled.

Game Informer - It's hard to access just who is the best racer in the world since there are so many different racing disciplines to cover. Grid 2 aims to find out anyway.
The game's career mode centers around the fledgling WSR (World Series Racing) circuit, and your character will actively race and recruit racers from around the world to the WSR. The bigger the league grows, the more coverage it gets from the likes of ESPN (including custom in-studio live action cutscenes filmed with the network) and the higher the stakes become. In the multi-season format you'll not only face off against other racers in the locations and disciplines they're best at, but also participate in events that bring all the WSR drivers together for intense competitions.
Im gonna like this game don't get me wrong, the thing that bothers me is that theres no cockpit view. I use that view alot, i mean, its the most realistic way of driving..
I actually prefer bumper cam, but I'm not doubting your preferences!
Edit: Bonnet cam.
I really liked GRiD and i'm sure i'll like this (it looks stupendously beautiful), but part of me misses ToCA.

Fyodor Dostoevsky Quotes About PrideQuotes about: Pride
Love animals: God has given them the rudiments of thought and joy untroubled. Do not trouble their joy, don't harrass them, don't deprive them of their happiness, don't work against God's intent. Man, do not pride yourself on superiority to animals; they are without sin, and you, with your greatness, defile the earth by your appearance on it, and leave the traces of your foulness after you - alas, it is true of almost every one of us!
Yet, I didn't understand that she was intentionally disguising her feelings with sarcasm; that was usually the last resort of people who are timid and chaste of heart, whose souls have been coarsely and impudently invaded; and who, until the last moment, refuse to yield out of pride and are afraid to express their own feelings to you.
I did not understand that she was hiding her feelings under irony, that this is usually the last refuge of modest and chaste-souled people when the privacy of their soul is coarsely and intrusively invaded, and that their pride makes them refuse to surrender till the last moment and shrink from giving expression to their feelings before you. to have guessed the truth from the timidity with which she had repeatedly approached her sarcasm, only bringing herself to utter it at last with an effort.

Rwanda to boost fuel reserves
Rwanda's planned strategic fuel reserves to cushion the country against supply shocks will cost $84 million.
Although a strategic investor is yet to be found, the planned investment is set to increase the country's fuel storage capacity from the current 74 million litres to 150 million litres by 2018. This will place Rwanda ahead of its peers in the region.
Expanding the fuel reserve capacity comes ahead of the 2017 Kenyan election, which local analysts fear could affect the flow of goods on the Northern Corridor.
The 2007 post-elections violence in Kenya disrupted imports including fuel and petroleum products to East Africa's landlocked countries.
However, Robert Opirah, director-general for trade, and industry in the Ministry of Trade said Rwanda now imports less fuel through Mombasa and any supply disruption along the route will have less impact.
Mr Opirah noted that 80 per cent of the country's fuel is imported through Dar es Salaam port. The country's annual fuel demand is growing at 10.1 per cent and currently 230 million litres of fuel is consumed with heavy fuel generated power galloping the biggest percentage of imported fuel.
Rwanda generates 40 per cent of its electricity to power households and run industries by running heavy fuel generators. And any disruption in supply could cripple the manufacturing sector.
Rwanda Trade and Industry Minister Francois Kanimaba said the reserves will reduce the growing pressure on the storage facilities in the country and also boost the country's fuel re-exports.
Fuel demand at Kigali airport
Rwanda is also emerging as re-exporter of petroleum products to the neighbouring Democratic Republic of Congo and Burundi and serves the growing number of airlines that refuel at Kigali International Airport.
Despite the growing demand for fuel in the country and the downstream market attracting many players, the country has not built new fuel storage facilities.
As a result, there are routine delays in delivering fuel and picking up stock at the facilities at Gasata and Kabuye, which increases the costs of doing business in Rwanda.
The reserves leased by the Rwandan government to Kenya's KenolKobil and Engen have a joint capacity to store 30 million litres of petrol.
Private players, including Oilcom from Tanzania, are constructing a 20 million litre storage depot that will be leased to the growing number of oil marketers.
Besides increasing the storage capacity, the Rwandan government is also calling on oil marketers to enter hedging deals with fuel and petroleum products producers to reduce the country's exposure to price hikes and ease pressure on its foreign reserves.
The price of a barrel of crude oil, according to the World Bank, in its April Commodity Markets Outlook, is predicted to jump 74 per cent, from an average of $38.1 this year.
For Rwanda, the planned fuel hedging and bulk purchase have to be supported by huge strategic reserves that will be constructed by both the government and the private sector to protect the economy against supply shocks.

Prestigious Award Based on Innovative Efforts to Deliver More Food to the Community
SAN JOSE, Calif., April 15, 2014– Kathy Jackson, CEO of Second Harvest Food Bank of Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties, was recently named Feeding America 2014 Network Leader of the Year for her effort to significantly increase the amount of food provided by Second Harvest and streamline operations to drive down costs.
Feeding America is the nation's leading domestic hunger-relief charity with a mission to feed America's hungry through a nationwide network of more than 200 member food banks. Second Harvest Food Bank is part of the Feeding America network.
Through Jackson's vision and leadership, Second Harvest has been able to significantly increase the nutritious food it provides by adding a new dedicated produce distribution center, adopting more efficient distribution methods, and increasing CalFresh (food stamp) outreach. Better processes and increased inventory turns enabled Second Harvest to deliver significantly more, and fresher, food to the community, drive down costs and improve customer service.
Last year, Second Harvest distributed more than a million pounds of food per week, a 16 percent increase over the previous year. In addition, Second Harvest was able to improve its efficiency by 6 percent and increase access to CalFresh benefits by 61 percent compared to the previous year.
Improving the efficiency of an already efficient and effective operation, as well as reducing costs, has been critical for meeting the increased need for food. The number of people Second Harvest serves jumped 50 percent after the start of the recession and has continued to edge up every year since. Second Harvest now provides food to more than 250,000 people every month.
In addition, Second Harvest is one of only a few food banks in the nation that does not charge its partners for the food it provides. Second Harvest partners with more than 330 nonprofit agencies to provide food at more than 770 sites, including pantries soup kitchens, shelters, and after-school programs.
"These exceptional results required Kathy to be bold, tireless, collaborative, and client-focused," said Norm Taffe, Second Harvest Food Bank Board chair. "Myself and the rest of the Board are happy to see Feeding America recognize the terrific job we know she has been doing since the day she arrived at Second Harvest. Through her leadership, Kathy has been able to effectively engage donors, staff, and community partners in helping Second Harvest increase its capacity and meet the rising need for food."
Determined to meet the increased need, Jackson secured the donation of a 75,000-square-foot building from Cypress Semiconductor, the largest gift in Second Harvest history. Cypress Center, which opened in 2012, is a dedicated fresh produce facility and volunteer center.
"In a network with over 200 strong leaders, standing out as the leader of the year is an amazing accomplishment, but one that Kathy well deserves," said Bob Aiken, CEO of Feeding America. "She has used her energy to inspire her staff, community and peers. Her successes – from increasing the amount of healthy food the food bank delivers to her involvement in the Hunger Action Summit – show that Kathy is committed to helping her community and serving the food insecure in Santa Clara and San Mateo counties."
Jackson joined Second Harvest Food Bank in August 2009 after more than 20 years of executive-level experience in the financial services industry. She was named a "Woman of Influence" by the Silicon Valley Business Journal in 2010 and currently serves on the boards of the California Association of Food Banks and Feeding America.
The 2014 Network Leader of the Year Award recognizes exemplary leadership and service by an executive director or CEO in the Feeding America network who has had a positive impact over the past year not only locally, but at the national network level as well.
Second Harvest Food Bank of Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties is the trusted leader dedicated to ending local hunger. Since its inception in 1974, Second Harvest has become one of the largest food banks in the nation, providing food to more than one quarter of a million people each month. The Food Bank mobilizes individuals, companies and community partners to connect people to the nutritious food they need. More than half of the food distributed is fresh produce. Second Harvest also plays a leading role in promoting federal nutrition programs and educating families on how to make healthier food choices. Visit www.SHFB.org to get involved.

Hybrid, the local minor league expert wrote
i personally like crawford more, though you could make a case for either, but to say byrd is "far superior" then crawford is very outlandish and really you have nothing to go on when you say that. a-rod is far superior then crawford, not byrd. byrd had to wait till he was 25/26 to get to the bigs, and don't tell me glanville was in his way cause that isn't a strong arguement. crawford made it when he was 22 and even though the drays promoted him early he would of likely made it soon after anyways. both have almost a full season though byrd didn't play exactly play a full year. both improved a lot in the second half. so i don't know how you think byrd is so much of a greater player then crawford. i guess we'll found out in the oncoming years though. i woul take crawford but i think byrd will be a better value pick since most are high on crawford this year.
I would do that as I agree that Meche will fall off. He's not known for a lot of innings. CC will get you some numbers but he will also make you pull your hair out. Just be patient and he will continue to put up good numbers.
Believe it or not, acsguitar's first post was about... baseball.
I see Blaylock is up against Zito...So im leaning Miguel Cabrera Out of my outfield to 3B since hes facing montreal...Even though He is facing a righty who hes not as solid against.
Wrveres, of course, began by writing about how much some guy sweats...
Have you seen Clement sweat? as soon as MLB figures out that the ball is soaking wet, he will come back to earth. Just like all the hype around Dempster 2 whole seasons ago
rico the retard, of course.
titttttttttties yay there big and round
Arlo began by asking the really big questions...
1) Who was Colorado's first gm?
Finally, theyanks04 began by advising someone not to trade for Arod. Prophetic, no?
I agree...a bad idea IMO. Arod is nice but you are trading a 2nd rounder in Nomar, a 4-6 rounder in Colon and a 11? rounder with potential (if he could ever decide to stay healthy a whole season) for a first rounder in ARod. Going from a rond 2 SS to a round 1 SS is not worth all that, esp. if you have to replace the bottom two keepers with fre agents. Keep Nomar, IMO and look to deal Colon and someone else for an upgrade.
