Perfect Pearls….Oh how I love you. I have used Pearl Ex for years but it needs a binder when used on paper. Perfect Pearls comes with a built in binder….that is a great plus because it makes it so easy to use. I recently started making my own colored mists- we lost our LSS so if I need a mist color quirky, am out of luck. I have to mail order it-which means my shipping issue because an issue so I spend more money to make the shipping efficient….. making my own with Distress Ink Refill colors and Perfect Pearls is a great alternative.
I used to like the color Perfect Pearl -which is white- as a basic color to add shimmer without adding color to a project but this color-Biscuit seems to work even better. Love it!!!
Love using this on my projects.
good - tons of poss- glad to see it on sale @ sbc!!

DURHAM — Matt Evans doesn't need to reference last year's one-point playoff loss for motivation. Last week's disaster will suffice.
"That's in the past," said the University of New Hampshire football team's all-time leading tackler. "We can't really use that as motivation. We just lost to a Towson team pretty bad. None of us really played that well. That should fuel the fire."
After the 64-35 loss to the Tigers that snapped a 10-game home win streak, the Wildcats feel fortunate they sill have a fire to fuel.
They had some serious doubts about whether they were going to get an at-large bid to the FCS playoff after their record dropped to 8-3 and they dropped into a four-way tie for first in the Colonial Athletic Association.
The Wildcats no longer controlled their own destiny, their streak of consecutive NCAA tournament appearances in jeopardy.
"Coming in we didn't know where we were going to stand," said senior co-captain Dontra Peters. "We're all excited about getting another chance to play."
Second chances are like turnovers. A lot depends on what you do with them.
"It's on to the next one," said senior co-captain Chris Zarkoskie. "It doesn't matter what happened before. You can't let prior success lull you into complacency and you can't let prior failure shove you down a bad path. We can only control the future now."
That's what made Selection Sunday so difficult. The Wildcats had lost control.
They quickly lost control of their emotions when the New Hampshire-Wofford second-round matchup was first up on the big screen.
It provided tangible evidence that UNH had qualified for the postseason for the ninth year in a row, the longest active streak in the nation.
"The thing that was so bad about this it was in somebody else's hands," said coach Sean McDonnell. "Everything was in our hands until 3:30 (Saturday) afternoon. That's the tough thing. You think you deserve it, but I've seen teams not go."
The news triggered a spontaneous celebration from Wildcat players and coaches along with other school officials who had gathered in the team's locker room to watch the show.
They didn't have to wait long to learn their fate.
"I was on edge like everybody else," said receiver R.J. Harris. "We were nervous. They got right to it. They didn't talk. I was excited about that."
"It's a great feeling," McDonnell said, "but more importantly it's a great feeling in that room. I'm sure they felt the same way I did waking up (Sunday) morning — that somebody else is making the decision on whether we're getting in."
UNH squandered that opportunity on Saturday against a hungry Towson team that ran the ball at will.
The Tigers gained 660 total yards, including 433 on the ground. The Wildcats trailed 30-28 at halftime, but were outscored 34-7 in the second half.
"We were lucky to be in the game at halftime," McDonnell said,. "and in the second half we could not get off the field at all."
UNH forced Towson to punt only once all day.
"It was a tough loss," Peters said. "We got knocked down a bit. We've just got to get back on the horse and keep going."
The Wildcats haven't lost back-to-back games all season. To avoid it they'll have to beat an opponent that ranks second nationally in rushing.
Wofford averages almost 350 yards a game.
"I think we're going to show our resiliency and bounce back from this," said sophomore running back Nico Steriti. "We're going top practice hard and get after it."
The Wildcats are scheduled to practice today and Wednesday morning before going home for the Thanksgiving break. They'll return to campus next Sunday and start preparing for the Terriers.
The game is Saturday, Dec. 1, in Spartanburg, S.C. Wofford, which is in the playoffs for the fifth time in six years, features a triple-option attack.
Fullback Eric Breitenstein ranks third nationally in rushing, averaging 150.3 yards per game.
"You know what they're going to do," McDonnell said. "They're going to run the football. We have to really circle the wagons and get better at stopping the run or we're going to be in serious trouble."
These 'Cats have nine lives: UNH grateful to still be playing
DURHAM — Matt Evans doesn't need to reference last year's one-point playoff loss for motivation. Last week's disaster will suffice.

Matthew S. Tompkins as Nelson Algren and Elizabeth Rohan as Simone de Beauvoir in a theatrical version of their romance, Transatlantic Liaison.
Simone de Beauvoirs second love
By Jerry Tallmer
He was 39. She was 40.
They were meeting, this time, in New York City.
He was American all the way. She was French all the way.
Nelson Algren. Simone de Beauvoir.
Thanks to him, in bed and otherwise, she had discovered a degree of womanhood, of love, that swept everything else aside. Almost.
He had written The Man With the Golden Arm, which had even Ernest Hemingway gasping: Mr. Algren, boy, you are good. It would win the National Book Award and thereafter become a smash motion picture.
She nourished by the moral and intellectual support of her life mate, Jean-Paul Sartre was in the process of finishing Le Deuxiéme Sexe (The Second Sex), a book that would change the world.
In Transatlantic Liaison, a play by Fabrice Rozié, a New York-based cultural attaché who is now almost precisely the age Algren was then, they have reached a moment of intensity:
SIMONE: You said you wouldnt love me so much if I were different.
NELSON: I said the things you wanted me to say
I wanted to tell you a lot of other things, but you began weeping. That kept me quiet.
SIMONE: I was so afraid!
NELSON: I know. And that, too, kept me from talking.
SIMONE: I know. As soon as you love someone, youre no longer free. But anyhow, loving a woman who believes she has claims on you isnt at all the same as loving one who doesnt.
NELSON: Oh, a woman can believe she has all the claims in the world on me, but so long as I dont recognize them, its all the same to me. Lets not talk about all this. You only get things all messed up when you talk about them.
SIMONE: They also get messed up when youre silent about them. You no longer love me the way you used to?
NELSON: I think that love is less important than I once believed.
SIMONE: Since I must leave [to go home to Paris and Sartre], it doesnt make much difference if Im here or if Im not.
NELSON: Something like that. And yet, how I awaited you!
SIMONE: And now
NELSON: Now I still want you.
SIMONE: Oh, in that way!
NELSON: Not only in that way. Im ready to marry you on the spot.
But the moment of course passed. She went back to Paris and completion of The Second Sex. He went back to his Chicago, or wherever. And how do we know that what Elizabeth Rohan as de Beauvoir and Matthew S. Tompkins as Algren are, on stage at the Harold Clurman Theatre, saying what de Beauvoir and Algren really said, back there circa 1949?
Says playwright Rozié, who drew from de Beauvoirs novel The Mandarins (Norton, 1956) and her Beloved Chicago Man: Letters to Nelson Algren (Gollance, London, 1998):
Ive used what she quotes from Algren. When I have Algren say something, its what she says he said, even if, as she says, its a lie. [SIMONE to NELSON: What is literature, after all: clever lies which secretly say the truth.]
Beauvoirs share of the dialogue comes more directly from her own tongue, straight from her letters.
When he was a schoolboy of 14, Fabrice Rozié whose mother had been a teenage heroine of the Resistance picked up and read The Second Sex because of its title. I must confess except for The Second Sex the writings of Simone de Beauvoir made no particular impression on me. Then, when I was almost 30, and had my Ph.D., years after de Beauvoirs death, I read her letters. How you say in English? it stroke me? struck me the theatrical voice in her letters is something that would work on stage, Simone de Beauvoir disclosing to someone else her inner dramatic story.
Otherwise its just a movie story about a man and a woman in love. But because its Beauvoir and Algren
Unfortunately, because Sylvie de Beauvoir, her adopted daughter, a wonderful woman who edited her mothers letters, did not get permission to translate into French the letters of Nelson Algren, I was only able to put the de Beauvoir material on stage, framing it as best I could.
He did get to read some excerpts from Algrens end of the correspondence and others of his works including a beautiful book about his boyhood.
One outburst of Beauvoirs the ultra-political Simone de Beauvoir which should evoke a smile is: You know, I care about all these things [Indochina, Gaullism, threats against Sartres life, etc.] because I think I have to. But I am fed up with it. I loathe politics. I should like a world without politics.
Wouldnt we all. Thats not a contradiction, by the way.
No, its not, said Rozié. And de Beauvoir is a woman I feel a great affection for. I love people who dare to love fully and yet are very responsible human beings.
Rozié, born in Paris on May 27, 1965, has the job at the French embassy in New York of promoting French writers and writing in the United States, working with publishers and translators, organizing lectures and conferences.
When he first read Beauvoirs letters he heard in his head the voice of that splendid French actress Marie-France Pisier (known to Americans from Cousin, Cousine and the films of Truffaut and Godard). It was she who played the role at the Theatre Marigny on the Champs Elysee.
John McLean of Theatre Three in Dallas went to Paris looking for a play to bring home to Texas and found this one. It ran three months in Dallas with the same two players hes now directed here at the Clurman.
When my father was dying, says Fabrice Rozié, his last words were: How are the rehearsals going in Dallas?
Well enough. Harold Clurman, wearer of the Legion dHoneur, would approve.
TRANSATLANTIC LIAISON. By Fabrice Rozié, from the letters and other writings of Simone de Beauvoir. Directed by John McLean. Through April 2 at the Harold Clurman Theatre, 410 West 42nd Street, (212) 279-4200.

Back on July 25, I made seven camp predictions.
I hit on some, and I missed on others. More on all of them later today after camp closes. But here's what I wrote about Kevin Kolb:
I think that when the national reporters stop by, most will write similarly-themed articles about the 2010 Eagles. They will focus around the changing of the guard at quarterback and Kevin Kolb's first year as a starter. I think the national guys who have had limited contact with Kolb in the past will come away impressed, and by the time the season starts, it will be difficult to find a national reporter or TV personality who predicts that Kolb is not up for the challenge.
And that's how it's gone for the most part - a lovefest for Kolb by pretty much every writer who has stopped by. I can't remember seeing a single item by the national media that suggests he's not going to play well.
As I mentioned in a previous post, SI.com's Peter King gave Kolb some love in this week's Monday Morning Quarterback column.
And similar thoughts on Kolb have surfaced from a couple other national writers. John Czarnecki of FoxSports.com writes about how everyone he's talked to seems to have faith in Kolb, including Fox analyst and former Cowboys QB Troy Aikman.
"I have started talking with him," Aikman told Czarnecki. "I was impressed with how he played at the end of last season. He has a quick delivery, and he showed me a lot of poise. I think he has a chance to be a real good quarterback."
Czarnecki also has a Donovan McNabb note in his column.
There's no question Reid's one of the league's finest coaches with a respectable history of winning in the NFC East, but despite those five NFC title game appearances, the Eagles won only one, then McNabb puked in the fourth quarter of the Super Bowl loss to New England. Giants coach Tom Coughlin told me McNabb did the same thing in Jacksonville in 2002 when his Jaguars beat the Eagles, but that's another story, although Coughlin still wishes Reid would have traded McNabb out of the division.
Meanwhile, Michael Silver of Yahoo Sports takes a similar angle, talking to Kolb's teammates and coaches about his leadership and his ability to take over:
Though they fielded trade offers for all three passers – "We didn't put a for-sale sign up," Andy Reid says, "but we sat back and let people come to us and kind of evaluated what was best" – the psychic move to Kolb had already been made. It became official on Easter as Kolb kicked back at home, having flown back to Philly earlier that morning from Texas, where his wife, Whitney, and their two young daughters stayed behind to continue visiting relatives.

text: BF has been such a difficult journey. My son is 9 weeks old and after an unplanned c-section, bf didn't get off to the best start. When we finally were able to be together (only about an hour apart, but if felt longer) we did skin to skin. I don't remember much else from the first day or so, but I know we couldn't get him to latch. He was very sleepy and my nipples are very large. I pumped and in the end we ended up feeding him with an SNS system and nipple shields. He lost quite a bit of weight, but after two weeks of very intense feeding/pumping he started gaining. The hospital had a good lactation consultant and we worked together there and then I arranged for her to visit me at home. She has been very helpful and I was elated that at week 7 I was able to completely get rid of the nipple shield and also win our battle with Thrush. The battles have been endless, but I really want to BF. I had a few really good days where I felt so successful and then my nipples really started to hurt. I was away from home for a wedding and without much support. They started bleeding, cracking and were so so sensitive. I thought maybe it was because they had never been toughed up because of the shields, but I don't know. I also worried it was the latch. I watched videos, read up and have tried to refine it. I started to pump and have family members give my son a bottle to rest up and my nipples are doing better. I just had another visit with my lactation consultant yesterday and she gave me tips, but it still hurts to nurse my son. I will keep going because it has gotten so much better and I know that BF will be rewarding and worth it. But, I would like to know when? I am not writing this to complain, but I need more support and thought it mights help to tell my story. Thanks for taking the time to read.

Jennie Garth Takes on Bad Breath!
By Dr. Harold Katz - Bad Breath Expert
Posted: December 8, 2009
Many celebrities are currently tackling unconventional causes. For instance, Daryl Hannah got arrested and chained herself to a tree while protesting everything from mountaintop coal removal mining to other causes, like the destruction of a South Los Angeles community garden. Steve-O from Jackass is protesting frog dissection in science class, and Madonna is helping out Romanian gypsies. Now, Jennie Garth is taking on bad breath, one of the most daunting tasks of all. According to sources, the former 'Beverly Hils 90210' and 'Dancing With The Stars' television star has already teamed up with an oral hygiene product line to have workshiops for children in the Los Angeles region. These workshops are supposed to encourage everyone to practice proper oral hygiene, thus keeping their teeth white, clean, and healthy, as well as maintaining fresh breath. Halitosis affects more than 50% of the population, so hopefully the workshops will prove useful! Who wants to smell dragon breath, anyway?

Newly-Formed Group Aims to Increase Diversity in Accounting Profession
The AICPA has announced the creation of the National Commission on Diversity to serve as champions of diversity within the accounting profession.
The formation of the Commission reflects a renewed focus on diversity within the profession and the need to increase the retention and advancement of underrepresented minorities to better reflect the clients and communities CPAs serve.
The 15-member Commission is comprised of representatives from minority professional advocacy groups, CPA firms, state CPA societies, and leaders from business and industry, government, and education. They are holding their first meeting this week at the AICPA's Durham office and will meet quarterly.
"The AICPA has done a tremendous amount of work to make the profession more inclusive and we will continue to build upon those efforts," said Kim Drumgo, vice-chair of the Commission and director of diversity and inclusion at the AICPA. "The Commission brings together a wide range of stakeholders to address the issue of diversity. This is a critical step towards ensuring the profession's continued growth and ability to meet the needs of those we serve."
Recent AICPA research provides a snapshot of the ethnic composition of the profession and establishes a benchmark as the Commission begins its work. According to the 2011 Trends in Supply of Accounting Graduates and Demand for Public Accounting Recruits, minorities accounted for 25% of the new accounting bachelor's and master's degree graduates hired by CPA firms in 2010, an increase from the 17% reported in 2001.
The increased number of graduates can be viewed as a positive sign, but the survey also found that while minorities make up 20% of professional staff positions, only six percent of firm partners are ethnically diverse.
"The profession has made some encouraging progress recruiting from all races and ethnicities, but we still have work to do – particularly when it comes to retaining and promoting minorities," said Ken Bouyer, chairman of the Commission and Americas director of inclusiveness recruiting at Ernst and Young. "We've formed the Commission because to continue to move the needle, a lot of people will need to work together. This issue is critical and ultimately our results will impact the profession for years to come."
According to the U.S. Census, minority-owned businesses increased 45.5 percent from 2002 to 2007 from 4.0 million businesses to 5.8 million, while their receipts increased 55.0 percent. These minority-owned businesses accounted for 21.3 percent of the nation's businesses and generated $1.0 trillion in receipts.
"It is imperative that the profession's makeup evolve to reflect the diversity found in American businesses and society as a whole" said Barry Melancon, CPA, CGMA, AICPA President and CEO.
The Commission will work toward proposing AICPA strategies to increase the number of minorities in the accounting profession. This process will involve investigating and understanding the barriers to the long-term success of minorities by analyzing recruitment and retention data within the accounting profession. In addition, the Commission will closely monitor the population trends and analyze the impact of these trends on both the profession and the clients CPAs serve.
The board of the Commission, chaired by Bouyer, with Drumgo serving as vice-chair, is comprised of the following members:
Jeff Chin, CPA – Ascend
Peggy Dzierzawski, CPA – Michigan Association of CPAs
Lena Ellis, CPA – City of Fort Worth
Manuel Espinoza, CPA – ALPFA
Eduardo Jordan, CPA, CGMA – Nolet Spirits USA
George Krull, CPA – AICPA Foundation
Richard Levychin, CPA, CGMA – KBL, CPAs
Kenneth Macias, CPA – Macias, Gini & O'Connell, LLP
Don McCleod, CPA – Don McCleod, CPA, PC
Lisa Ong, CPA – PricewaterhouseCoopers
Gail Sparks Pitts, CPA – Oakland Community College
Ed Ramos, CPA – Dwyer, Pemberton & Coulson, P.C.
Frank Ross, CPA – Howard University School of Business

Death Of McLeod County Driver May Be Weather Related
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - The death of a motorist whose car got stuck in the snow in McLeod County may be weather related.
The sheriff's department says it received a report Monday of a man who had been missing since Sunday night. Sheriff's deputies and Stewart firefighters began searching for the man and found his body about two miles from his disabled vehicle on a road south of Stewart. Some drivers were forced to spend the night in shelters Sunday night, when blizzard-like conditions closed portions of the interstates and highways.
The National Weather Service has issued a wind chill warning as extreme cold and brisk winds pushed subzero temperatures to the 35 to 50 below range. Schools across the state canceled classes for a second consecutive day Tuesday.

The Green Bay Packers could have filled an entire highlight reel with their interceptions last year.
Good thing, because the rest of their defense wasn't worth watching.
A year after finishing with the NFL's worst defense, the Packers have traded the excitement of those big turnovers for consistency. And the change could be the difference between another early exit from the playoffs and a deep run that could last all the way to the Super Bowl.
"I'd prefer our defense this year to last year's," defensive coordinator Dom Capers said.
The Packers (12-5) play at San Francisco (11-4-1) on Saturday night in an NFC divisional game.

Dear Editor:
Last week's letter from Michael Fischetti (third in four months) stated that he hoped for "a meaningful response" from the board president or superintendent, to his questions regarding educational costs in the district. Also, for a third time, he erroneously suggested $64.7 million was what "is being spent by the school district." He continues floating this number and claims "complete silence" even though the board president did, in fact, respond (in these very pages) to his first letter.
Mr. Fischetti is correct that "the people of Hoboken have the right to know", and that policy makers should avail themselves in "a public forum." There is such a place: the Hoboken Board of Education meetings, where anyone from the community is free to directly address board members, administrators and the public. If he were to attend, he might see how our diverse community both challenges and cheers what's happening in our schools.
Why does Mr. Fischetti not attend our board meetings to directly question those from which he seeks answers?
Had he done so he would already know that $64.7 million is the total 2013-2014 revenue but that $7.81 million of that goes to our charter schools…and that another $10.19 million is passed through for the state-mandated (and funded) pre-K. Perhaps, then, he would be questioning $46.3 million, which is the actual budget for in-district, K-12 students.
Mr. Fischetti, in his first letter, also compared Hoboken to some other towns, which he claimed had per-pupil budgets ranging from $23K (Jersey City) down to $13K (Glen Ridge). Presumably these were the latest 2011-2012 NJ DOE statistics, but Mr. Fischetti gave no source for his numbers. In fact, his original list of per-pupil costs (according to the NJ DOE web site) is: Jersey City/$22K (not $23K), Union City/$20K (not $18K), Weehawken/$19K, Montclair/$18K (not $17K) and Glen Ridge/$18K (not $13K). These compare to Hoboken at $19,640 per student, not the lowest but certainly comparable (and not the $30K asserted in his second letter).
Of course, if he still has questions I urge him and all serious, concerned residents to come to the board meetings. Everyone is welcome…with kids (in district/charters/private schools) or not; whether an unhappy taxpayer or just someone interested until the next Board of Ed election.
I have kids in district (happily). I've been a charter parent (happily) and I remain a taxpayer (never happy). Even though I've disagreed with every board member or attendee at some point, I continue participating for a simple reason: change requires involvement. And while taxes may be paramount to some, the first (and most critical) order of business is the education of our children.
Mr. Fischetti asks reasonable questions which are debated every budget season. His data and assertions, however, are inaccurate. And repeating them multiple times will not make them correct. If he is really interested in the well-being of "the people of Hoboken" (better yet, the children of Hoboken), then he should join them at a Board of Education meeting.

GENERAL André Cox is calling for the worldwide Salvation Army to join him in echoing the call of Pope Francis for an end to world hunger. The General says: 'It is clear from the response of the media and from Christians of all denominations that the calls to simple living from the Pope have struck a chord. As Salvationists we have been called to serve the world's poorest people – those who have nothing. I applaud Pope Francis for putting back into the public domain, through social and mass media, the causes The Salvation Army has been addressing for almost 150 years.'
The Pope's call to end hunger is just one of the ways in which he has placed the Roman Catholic Church at what Nancy Gibbs (Managing Editor, Time Magazine) calls: 'the very centre of the central conversations of our time.' His straightforward, relevant approach led to him being named Time's Person of the Year for 2013.
The World Food Programme reports that 842 million people in the world do not have enough to eat. Poor nutrition causes nearly half (45 per cent) of deaths in children under five – 3.1 million children each year.
Many more do not develop properly because of chronic malnutrition. Sixty-six million primary school-age children attend classes hungry across the developing world, with 23 million in Africa alone.
While this is happening, the developed world wastes food on an unprecedented scale. A recent report in the United Kingdom showed that households were throwing away an average of 24 meals a month – adding up to 4.2 million tonnes of food wasted every year in just this one country.
The General continues: 'Just over a century ago the Founder and first General of The Salvation Army, William Booth, gave a speech in which he promised to fight against the injustices of the world. It seems incredible that, despite all the technological advances in recent years, the evils he vowed to battle are still present in our society. "While children go hungry, as they do now," he said, "I'll fight!"
'As the leader of a Salvation Army that today ministers in 126 countries I want to call again for a renewed fight against hunger. Salvation Army projects around the world are doing their part, providing the world's poorest people with the means to grow crops or raise livestock. Micro-credit schemes enable people to set up businesses that produce enough income for people to feed their families. Even in the developed world, Salvation Army food banks and feeding programmes are helping the most vulnerable people. Sadly, these wonderful programmes are only scratching the surface of the problem.
The General says: 'One of The Salvation Army's greatest strengths is that it is right at the heart of communities around the world. Today I call upon the millions of people who call The Salvation Army their church to take a stand. We must pray – calling on the God of justice to stir the hearts of people who have the power and influence to change the world.
'We call on world leaders to work together to resolve this issue which affects the whole world, through just policies and economic engagement. And we call on Salvationists and other people to look at their own lives, educating themselves about this complex issue and making personal lifestyle changes, even down to considering where our food comes from and what we eat. Our response has to start with our own behaviour, bringing to mind the old advice to "live simply so that others may simply live".
'I know I can count on the Salvationists of the world to join Commissioner Silvia Cox and me in pledging again, with our movement's Founder: "While people go hungry, I'll Fight!" Together, let's work to end world hunger.'

ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) — A Nigerian Federal court charged two Nigerians with providing support for acts of terrorism by an Iranian militant cell.
Abdullahi Mustapha Berende, Saheed Oluremi Adewumi and a third suspect were arrested in February when Nigeria's secret police broke up a group backed by "Iranian handlers" who wanted to gather intelligence about locations frequented by Israelis and Americans. The State Security Service at the time said it had arrested the three before they could launch attacks, and identified Berende as the leader of a local Shiite sect in Ilorin. It said another suspect remained at large.
The court on Wednesday charged Berende with traveling to Iran between September 2011 and December 2012 and providing "terrorist training together with others now at large on the use of firearms, explosives and other related weapons," among the six counts. It said he had agreed to recruit people, including Adewumi, for an Iranian terrorist group. The charge sheet also said Berende knew about terrorist training in Iran and spying in Lagos and "failed to disclose such information to the law enforcement officials." The court charged that he also received some $30,000 in cash to fund the group's planned operations.
Adewumi was charged on Wednesday with conspiring to commit terrorist acts and providing technological support, including cameras.
In February, the secret police said that the group also conducted surveillance on USAID, the U.S. Peace Corps and other targets. The details of whom they spied on were not in the court papers.
Justice Ahmed Mohammed adjourned the proceeding to Sept. 17 after the men pleaded not guilty to the six counts.
Nigeria, home to more than 160 million people, is largely divided into a Christian south and a Muslim north. Nigeria's Muslims are predominantly Sunni, though there is a Shiite community in the country. Iran has backed Shiite groups in Nigeria in the past.

Ellsworth Dunkin Donuts Closes For Remodeling
One of the more popular morning destinations in Ellsworth has closed it's doors temporarily for remodeling. Dunkin Donuts on State Street in Ellsworth, next to the Mill Mall, will remain closed for another 9 days, until Wednesday September 18th at 5am.
Dunkin Donut lovers will have to make their way to the Ellsworth Wal Mart for their favorite caffeinated beverage, breakfast sandwich or doughnut. Wal Mart opens at 6am.
Bangor businessman Lou Lima owns the State Street Dunkin Donuts. This past May he submitted a plan to build a new Dunkin Donuts on the corner of Kingsland Crossing and Bar Harbor Road in Ellsworth. The new site is appealing due to the amount of traffic in the area and because the former Lowe's building will eventually house a branch of the Jackson Laboratory.

Ayn Rand: A Sense of Life SYNOPSIS
Ayn Rand was born in 1905 in St. Petersburg, Russia. Defying the death warrant of the Soviet Union, she came to America as a temporary visitor in 1926 but remained for the rest of her life. Later, she would also defy the cultural and political views of contemporary America in such best-selling novels as THE FOUNTAINHEAD and ATLAS SHRUGGED. Her unique philosophy, Objectivism, challenged the cultural tradition of 2,500 years . . .

The London 2012 Olympic Games are in full swing and there are plenty of ways to keep up with the action. The BBC has quite literally pulled out all the stops to make sure that you can enjoy the sports and with a presence on just about every platform; it's difficult not to be impressed with the offering.
But with so many of us stuck at the desk without tickets, and so much BBC coverage to negotiate, it might be your mobile phone you turn to. Don't worry, the BBC have a dedicated app for that. Today's App of the Day is none other than BBC Olympics.
BBC Olympics
- Platform
- Android, iPhone
- Price
- Free
- Where
- Google Play, iTunes
BBC Olympics is a dedicated app (on Android, iPhone) that will bring you only content from the London 2012 Olympic Games. Open it up and you are presented with a home page offering quick access to top stories and live coverage to stream to your phone.
The home page also offers news, with a tab to move over to Team GB news only and a summary of the medals table. At the time of writing, GB has 2 medals and China tops the table with 13.
A click on the top bar offers a a schedule. This is a really useful area of the app, because it details what's happening in each sport, so if it's boxing you're interested in, you can find out what is happening in boxing on each day, although you can't set reminders or anything else to tailor it to your liking.
A third icon lets you link through to the menu. This will let you access a huge range of useful content, from a full medals table, to details for every individual sport. There are also links through to Team GB news, individual athletes and all the countries. If you want to find information on Australia, say, it's a few clicks away, with all the latest news.
News stories across the app refresh regularly, so it doesn't feel like you are reading old news and with so much happening at the London 2012 Olympic Games, that's an important point.
It's not just static content either. You can click through to open up live coverage. There is live text coverage, for those sitting at work wanting a sneaky update, as well as live video coverage.
Click on the video and you are treated to a number of live streams. Today, Day 3, there are 20 available. The app tells you the channel they mirror, for example, with access to the main BBC One or BBC Three coverage, or diving straight into specific sport coverage.
It all works very nicely. Of course, the video will eat 3G data, but if you're in your home Wi-Fi network and you want to watch something else, there's nothing to stop you firing up the artistic gymnastics on your phone, while everyone else is watching weightlifting on the main TV.
If you've found yourself at work, wanting more Olympics coverage having feasted on the sport over the weekend, then BBC Olympics is just what you need. With the BBC Olympics app, you really do have the Games at your fingertips and best of all, it's free to download and free from adverts.

A Student Uprising in Arizona
Has Wisconsin finally come to Arizona?
In an extraordinary uprising at the Tucson Unified School District board meeting last night, students in the district's Ethnic Studies/Mexican American Studies (MAS) program chained themselves to the board members' chairs, derailing the introduction of a controversial resolution that would have terminated their acclaimed program's core curriculum accreditation.
"Nobody was listening to us, especially the board," said MAS high school student and activist Lisette Cota. "We were fed up. It may have been drastic but the only way was to chain ourselves to the boards' chairs."
While hundreds of their supporters packed the district meeting room, nine MAS students and activists defied security officers and literally took over the board members' places minutes before the meeting was scheduled to begin.
Over the past two years, the Ethnic Studies Program in Tucson has been subjected to a controversial and costly witch hunt by Attorney General Tom Horne, formerly the state's superintendent of public instruction, who wrote the Arizona law that outlawed it (passed last spring during a rush of anti-immigrant legislation that included SB 1070, the "Show-me-your-papers" law). Horne has called the class a form of "propagandizing and brainwashing."
-Student/activist Lisette Cota
"Just like the people of Wisconsin took a stand and said 'enough is enough,' the youth of Tucson are standing up and letting it be known that they are fed up with these attacks on their education and on their future," said Sal Baldenegro, Jr., a TUSD Ethnic Studies alum and member of the Southern Arizona Unity Coalition.
Popular Tucson blogger and activist David Abie Morales called it a "field trip for civics and democracy in action."
"I'm very moved by their passion and commitment to maintain these courses and curriculum," said MAS teacher Sally Rusk. "They're brilliant. This is not a one-time event. It looks like they're not going to stop until they have an impact on this decision."
Immigrant Youth Movement Takes a Civil Rights Lesson
How young immigrant activists are learning from the the civil rights campaigners who came before them.
TUSD Superintendent John Pedicone canceled the board meeting, but students have vowed to return to the district office until TUSD board president Mark Stegemen withdraws his proposed resolution.
The students feel differently. Through the evening, they and their community supporters chanted: "Our education is under attack, what do we do? Fight back!"
"We'll keep coming back, with twice as many people next time, each time," said Cota. "We're not going to let this happen. We're going to make it impossible for them to vote."
"As Arizonans, we absolutely must stand behind our youth and say 'enough is enough' with these attacks on their education. There has never been a more critical time to stand behind our children as they fight for their rights and for their futures," Baldenegro, Jr. said.
Tucson resident and education activist Mohur Sidhwa, who attended the meeting, added: "A wonderful show of civic engagement on the part of the students. It gives me hope for the next generation."

Understanding the fears that underlie racial politics.
Four undocumented students walked from Miami to Washington, D.C., risking deportation to tell the stories of immigrants living in the shadows.
Despite the hype, states are finding lots of reasons not to follow in Arizona's footsteps.

CONCORD, N.C. (AP) — Travis Kvapil said he was embarrassed by his arrest on charges of misdemeanor assault and false imprisonment against his wife.
Kvapil, who will race Saturday night at Charlotte Motor Speedway, apologized to BK Racing, NASCAR, fans and "anyone else that was impacted by Tuesday night."
"Obviously, there was a domestic situation Tuesday night with my wife. Regret that that happened," he said after qualifying 41st Thursday night.
"Because it is a family, personal matter, we ask for respect and privacy in this situation and we try to work it out together as a family. I'm obviously embarrassed about the situation. I don't like the negative effects that it has brought on."
NASCAR said it is close communication with BK Racing and gathering information on the Tuesday night incident between Kvapil and his wife, Jennifer. The 2003 Truck Series champion was released from police custody on $2,000 bond Wednesday morning.
"NASCAR does not condone the actions with which Travis Kvapil has been charged and we are disappointed to learn of this incident," NASCAR said in a statement. "NASCAR takes this matter very seriously and will continue to monitor the situation as it moves forward."
According to court records reviewed by The Sporting News, Kvapil allegedly pulled his wife into a bedroom by her hair and struck her in the head. He is not permitted to return home and can only contact his wife by phone or email on matters concerning their children. He faces a Nov. 19 court date.
Kvapil, who drives the No. 93 Toyota for BK Racing in the Sprint Cup Series, was in the car at Charlotte. He is 31st in the standings.
"BK Racing understands the severity of the situation and we don't condone the actions that Travis has been accused of," team co-owner Ron Devine said. "We feel it's important to let the system take its course. For that reason, we have elected to support Travis and his family and keep Travis in the car for this weekend's race. Further comment will be available as additional information becomes available."
Kvapil has raced at NASCAR's national level since 2001. Although he's winless in 240 career Cup starts, he has won nine Truck Series races.
"It's been tough. I guess you really find out your true friends, your supporters," Kvapil said. "It's been quite an eye-opening experience. Been through some things I definitely don't ever want to go through again. We are going to let it take its course, let it work itself out, one day at a time."

Sheboygan man chosen for Packers Fan Hall of Fame
The latest inductee into the Green Bay Packers Fan Hall of Fame is a retired mail carrier from Sheboygan.
Ed Fritsch, 90, was named as the 15th inductee into the hall of fame by Packers president and CEO Mark Murphy Tuesday.
"Every team in the league says, 'We have the greatest fans,'" Murphy said. "We're the only team that can say it without question."
Fritsch has been a season ticket holder for more than 50 years. He said he begins each home game by securing an autograph of a Packers alum on his cap at the Tundra Tailgate Zone.
He was one of 10 finalists who were selected from an online vote on packers.com.
Fritsch, who received a Purple Heart for injuries sustained in World War II, has lived in Sheboygan his entire life and is retired from the U.S. Postal Service.
"Out of the 10 that were nominated, there were some that were maybe more Packer backers than I am," Fritsch said.
As this year's inductee, Fritsch will receive four club seats to a Packers home game next season, a $500 gift certificate from the Packers Pro Shop, a road trip for two to a Packers away game, and a one-year subscription to Packers Plus magazine.
His name will also appear on a plaque in the Packers Hall of Fame.

College seeks dismissal of mother's lawsuit
College seeks dismissal of mother's lawsuit
OMAHA, Neb. —
Peru State College and various officials have asked a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit filed by the mother of a missing student.
The lawsuit by LaTanya Thomas blames the college and officials for neglecting to protect her daughter, 19-year-old Tyler "Ty" Thomas, from what the lawsuit says was a December 2010 attack that killed her. The lawsuit says she should have been protected from fellow student Joshua Keadle, who has been imprisoned since for the 2008 rape of a Fremont teenager.
The Lincoln Journal Star reports that the dismissal motion says officials couldn't foresee that placing Keadle in the same dormitory where Thomas lived would lead to an assault by Keadle.
He has not been charged in her disappearance.

The current vision of SUNRISE incorporates three main areas of research: 1) coal-related research; 2) agriculture-related research; and 3) diffuse energy sources.
Coal-related Research
Coal-related research has focused on understanding and mitigating environmental impacts from coal combustion in order to make the use of coal more sustainable from an environmental perspective. This work will include impacts associated with CO2 sequestration technologies. As we move forward we want to leverage our expertise and infrastructure in the development of fuels and chemicals from crop oils to begin researching the development of fuels and chemicals from coal. We will also expand our biomass combustion and biomass/coal co-combustion research program.
Agriculture-related Research
Ag-related research has focused on developing fuels, chemicals, polymers, and composites from crop oils particularly soybean oil and canola oil. Our work is centered upon the use of cracking and other catalytic reaction technologies to generate the building blocks and components necessary for fuels and chemicals. As we move forward we will move towards the commercialization of the first half dozen or so inventions from this work, including pilot scale and demonstration scale facilities.
We will study the cracking and reaction processes in order to better understand the fundamental mechanisms of our processes and characterize cracked materials in order to identify additional opportunities to produce high value by-products. We will look at novel crops as a means to develop better or additional products. Another area we will explore is the use of algae-produced lipids as the feedstock oils for use in our processes. Finally, we will begin looking at the feasibility of using lower cost cellulosic- and lignin-based raw materials as feedstocks to produce fuels and chemicals.
Diffuse Energy Sources Research
Harvesting Diffuse Energy Sources is focused on helping to develop North Dakota's wind resources by transferring wind energy into an energy carrier (H2) that can be stored and used as a fuel for both the electric generation and transportation sectors. Activities are focused on improving the economic viability of producing, storing, and utilizing wind-generated hydrogen.
Current activities of improving electrolysis performance, developing alternative compression techniques, and integrating power electronics and control will continue. Organic photovoltaic materials will be developed for solar power collection. We will also study the development of polymeric materials for fuel cell and hydrolysis cell membranes and the development of novel polymeric materials for use in wind turbine blades.

Dmitri Mendeleev
From Conservapedia
Dmitri Mendeleev was a Siberian chemist who was responsible for developing the periodic table of the elements. Born in 1834, he was the youngest of at least 14 children. In the late 1860s he began working on the periodic table of the elements. By arranging all of the 63 elements then known by their atomic weights, he managed to organize them into groups possessing similar properties. When there was no element to fill in a space in the table, he envisioned a new element would one day be found and deduced its properties. Three of those elements were discovered during his lifetime: gallium, scandium, and germanium.[1]

ePub Diamond Mind : A Psychology of Meditation ePub
Book overview
Buddhism teaches that the mind is the source of 100 percent of all unhappiness: anxiety, agitation, desire, anger, grief. Through understanding how our mind works, it is possible to tame it and to discover that happiness, wisdom, compassion, and clarity are actually inherent qualities in all of us. Much has been written of this subject, but Rob Nairn's book is the first to express the principles of Buddhist psychology in a way that is so easy to understand and enjoyable to read while remaining remarkably accurate and complete. Each chapter includes exercises that bring the truth of the teaching home."

Officer suspended for taking up-skirt photos of women
PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, Md. (ABC7) — A Prince George's County officer was suspended for one year after taking up-skirt photos of women, the Prince George's County State's Attorney's Office reported on Friday. The one year suspension is to be followed by three years of probation, according to the Attorney's Office.
James Sims worked for the Hyattsville First Police District. He pleaded guilty to taking the photos in January.
According to Prince George's County officials, in June of 2016, Sims took an up skirt photo of a woman at a Sports Authority store in Bowie. The woman, who turned out to be an off-duty MPD officer, chased Sims out of the store before he jumped into his Prince George's County police cruiser and drove away.
The woman reportedly called the police after seeing Sims drive away, and Sims was brought in for questioning. When Sims was questioned, police say his phone had been wiped clean of photos. During their follow-up investigation, law enforcement sources say they found photos they believe he took of other women during traffic stops. According to law enforcement sources, they believe Sims pulled women over for traffic stops and then would take photos of them while hiding his camera phone under his ticket book.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Virginia is conducting nothing short of a grand political experiment in 2013, testing whether a tea party favorite can carry a closely divided state with conservative roots. If Ken Cuccinelli wins the race for governor, he will have undercut Republican moderates' claims that hard-right ideologies are hurting the party — and undoubtedly intensify a debate already roiling the GOP.
Despite its Southern conservative history, Virginia is not Kansas or Oklahoma. President Barack Obama carried it twice after years of Republican dominance, and both U.S. senators are Democrats. Democrats and Republicans have battled fiercely for control of the state Legislature and governorship for years, with Republicans holding the edge lately.
It's hard to find a more 50-50 state where moderate and independent voters loom large in fall general elections.
Cuccinelli, the fiery attorney general running for governor this year, is no garden variety conservative. He once told college leaders they couldn't ban anti-gay discrimination. He advised Catholic clergy to go to jail to protest federal contraceptive coverage mandates. He investigated a former Virginia scientist over his climate change research. All this gave Cuccinelli a national profile few attorneys general attain.
His in-your-face conservatism contrasts with the more measured style of successful Republicans in other toss-up states, including Pat McCrory, North Carolina's first Republican governor in 20 years.
Some Virginia Republicans had hoped to thwart Cuccinelli's nomination, fearing he's too extreme for the swing state. But a conservative takeover of the state party last summer ensured it.
A more moderate Republican recently decided against an independent candidacy, and GOP officials are rallying around Cuccinelli in his Nov. 5 showdown with Terry McAullife. The former national Democratic Party chairman and New York native was a major fundraiser for Bill and Hillary Clinton.
Some GOP strategists nervously point to states where Republicans lost winnable elections in 2010 and 2012 after tea party-backed candidates wrested the nominations from moderates.
Most of those races were for the Senate, however. It's hard to know if similar dynamics will play out in a gubernatorial race in an off-year election, when no federal candidates are on the ballot.
For now, Democrats are optimistic.
"They must be saying, 'Once more the Republicans have given us a gift,'" said Steve Jarding, a veteran Virginia Democratic strategist now teaching at Harvard.
He said Virginia Republicans should view the intraparty tension "sort of like a cancer. You've got to remove it early or you risk killing the party."
Cuccinelli used a high-profile setting this month to make nods toward the political center. Addressing the Conservative Political Action Conference near Washington, he went relatively easy on the red-meat lines that conservatives eat up, and used phrases seldom heard at the often bombastic annual convention.
He called for greater support for the mentally ill and for felons who may have been wrongly convicted. Virginia must "protect our most vulnerable citizens," he said, "at every stage of life." That seemed an indirect reference to opposing abortion, something he usually hits head-on.
Cuccinelli needn't look far to see the challenges for a conservative champion trying to moderate his record. In fact, he has complicated similar efforts by Virginia's current GOP governor, Bob McDonnell, who is seen as having presidential ambitions.
A tea party group aired ads in Iowa and New Hampshire attacking McDonnell for bipartisan legislation to reshape Virginia's failing transportation funding system, which includes some new taxes. In a twist, Cuccinelli vigorously opposed and nearly scuttled the transportation deal. But McAuliffe backed it.
The Iowa ad, narrated by Virginia Tea Party Federation past chairman Jamie Radtke, said McDonnell's transportation deal broke a 2009 campaign promise never to raise taxes. "Remember, you can't believe a word he says," it concluded.
McDonnell, a top Mitt Romney liaison with conservatives just a few months ago, was not invited to speak at CPAC. "You stick to your conservative principles but you focus on results and not just on rhetoric," McDonnell said of the snub.
Veteran GOP strategist Charlie Black said Cuccinelli is in trouble if he can't unify his party and expand his image beyond social conservatism.
"Yes, he's a strong social conservative, but he's not leading with that in the campaign," Black said. "I think he'll be prepared with answers for all of that."
In a new Quinnipiac University poll, 32 percent of Virginia voters said Cuccinelli's political philosophy is "about right," while 29 percent said he is too conservative and 5 percent said he is too liberal. One-third of voters had no opinion. The poll found that neither Cuccinelli nor McAuliffe is well-known among state voters.
McDonnell isn't the only socially conservative governor who has drawn fire from the right for pivoting toward the center on fiscal issues.
In Florida, Gov. Rick Scott, a former hospital corporation executive whose loathing of Obama's health care law fueled his candidacy, was excoriated by tea partyers for last month's about-face to expand Medicaid in Florida.
Similar criticisms have fallen on Republican governors John Kasich of Ohio, Jan Brewer of Arizona and Rick Snyder of Michigan for agreeing to Medicaid expansions under "Obamacare."
Cuccinelli's success or failure in Virginia will cause ripples across the country.
"What we're seeing is the outgrowth of the divide we've seen coming in the Republican Party for quite some time," said Virginia Beach tea party activist Karen Miner Hurd. "In the Republican Party organization nationally, you're seeing this play out."
Asked what the GOP will look like in four of five years, Hurd replied, "That depends on whether the Republican Party survives."
Babington reported from Washington.

Jeffrey Sprecher, whose electronic IntercontinentalExchange Inc. is buying NYSE Euronext, said human traders are still needed for buying and selling stock.
Sprecher said the reliability of the New York Stock Exchange, where humans stand on the trading floor, is one of the reasons his Atlanta-based company is buying the parent. Trading in the $20 trillion U.S. equity market is spread across 13 public exchanges and 44 actively operated alternative trading systems, according to a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission research paper this month. Almost all of them are electronic.
"Markets need a human touch," the chief executive officer of ICE said today at an event in Atlanta held by the Atlanta Press Club. "When there's a problem in the market, business goes back to the floor. What we're buying in the New York Stock Exchange is the place where everyone goes in times of trouble or times when the market is wanting real certainty," he added. "That's the one you want to own."
Sprecher said NYSE also has a competitive advantage, which it shares with Nasdaq OMX Group Inc., of conducting opening and closing auctions used by some of the world's biggest money managers.
NYSE 'Adrift'
ICE agreed to purchase New York-based NYSE Euronext in December, forming one of the world's largest exchange owners by the market value of its stock. ICE, a specialist in energy trading, will expand through the deal into interest-rate swaps and U.S. stocks. ICE expects to complete it on Nov. 4, pending further regulatory approvals, Sprecher said today.
NYSE's business was "adrift" when ICE agreed to buy it, though the New York Stock Exchange building in lower Manhattan remains an iconic symbol of American capitalism, Sprecher said.
"The NYSE building and what happens in that building is critically important," he said. Although the number of traders working there has dwindled over the years, Sprecher said more people could end up working there.
He said changes are forthcoming at NYSE, but he declined to describe them because the transaction hasn't closed yet.
"It's sort of like buying someone's house," he said. "I don't really feel comfortable talking about how I'm going to redecorate. There's something kind of unseemly about that. You don't want to actually talk about their drapes. You actually want to own the house and then let them move to Kansas, and then you can go in."
Too Complex
One of Sprecher's deputies said this month that rules governing U.S. equities trading should be pared back because regulations have made the market vulnerable to breakdowns.
To improve the U.S. stock market, "I would probably start by getting rid of rules -- and some pretty big rules," Tom Farley, the senior vice president of financial markets at ICE, said Oct. 8 at a Baruch College conference in New York. He declined to identify those he would prefer to eliminate.
"There's been several significant rules that have been layered on in the last 15 years that have resulted in a costly and complex market," he said two weeks ago.
Human market makers have been squeezed out of U.S. stocks by declining profitability. To spur trading, exchanges use a pricing model known as maker-taker to coax computerized trading firms to facilitate transactions.
"I don't like maker-taker," Sprecher said. "You shouldn't pay people to trade," he added. Market makers "need to be able to earn a living." He didn't elaborate on alternatives.
Sprecher said his wife, Kelly Loeffler, hasn't made a decision on whether to run for U.S. Senate. Loeffler is the vice president for investor relations and corporate communications at ICE, and also co-owns the Atlanta Dream, which plays in the Women's National Basketball Association.

The National Peanut Board (NPB) has announced the appointment of forest industry veteran Raffaela "Marie" Rizzo as the board's first executive director. The announcement was made at the Georgia Peanut Farm Show held in Albany.
Established in the spring of 2000, the NPB seeks to increase the consumption of U.S. peanuts and peanut butter and fund research to help lower production costs and improve quality. Effectively combining three elements into one, the NPB serves as an industry organization, a large product marketing enterprise and an extensive research and education initiative, says NPB chairman Murray Campbell, a Camilla, Ga., producer.
As executive director, Rizzo is responsible for implementing the board's programs on a day-to-day basis. She will plan, organize, direct and implement NPB activities at state, national and international levels. In addition, Rizzo will staff and site the board's headquarters in Atlanta.
"We reviewed many exceptional candidates during a four-month search to find the most qualified leader," says Campbell. "Marie clearly emerged as the best choice, given her outstanding communications and business qualifications, her industry experience and her ability to bring together diverse groups to achieve common goals."
Rizzo joins the NPB from the corporate relations department of Florida-based forest products company Rayonier Inc. During her 20-year career with Rayonier, Rizzo served as company spokesperson, developed and administered media and community relations programs, product promotions, employee communications and public affairs for the company's Southeastern region. She has extensive experience with industry associations and issues management, which included having directed the Florida Industry Rally and the Georgia We Grow Trees campaign, now in its eighth year. Rizzo joined Rayonier from journalism and publishing.
Rizzo is an accredited member of the International Association of Business Communicators and sits on multiple business and civic board, including United Way, Kiwanis International, American Cancer Society and chambers of commerce. In addition, she is the recipient of more than a dozen professional awards.
Rizzo holds a master's in business administration from Jacksonville University and graduated magna cum laude from Sacred Heart University (Fairfield, Conn.) with a bachelor's degree in media studies.
The NPB's annual funding is approximately $10 million, which provides funds to develop domestic and export advertising and promotion programs. It also funds research to reduce production costs, explore nutrition research and investigate potential ways to mitigate peanut allergies. The board may enter into cooperative agreements with peanut product manufacturers to promote U.S. peanut products.
Campbell gave a brief overview of the board's recent activities at the Georgia Peanut Farm Show. The NPB, he says, has committed more than $3 million towards research grants and more than $11 million towards advertising, marketing and promotions.
The NPB has authorized $2.1 million in funding for 56 different research projects, to be administered through the certified state peanut producer organizations in 2001. Another $1.2 million has been earmarked by the NPB for addition production research, bringing to $3.4 million that the board has allocated to state production research projects out of its current budget.
The research projects will include work on major problem areas for peanut producers, including sclerotinia blight, Southern stem rot, tomato spotted wilt virus, early leafspot, cylindrocladium black rot, root-knot nematodes, water management, aflatoxin and others.
"Helping to lower production costs for peanut farmers is one of the critical missions that the National Peanut Board is focusing on," says Campbell. "We believe we can have on immediate impact on farmers' bottom lines by helping develop solutions to various disease and pest problems, water problems and production techniques through research that is being funneled back through the state certified producer organizations."
The work will be coordinated through the respective certified state peanut producer organizations, including the Alabama Peanut Producers Association, Florida Peanut Producers Association, Georgia Peanut Commission, New Mexico Peanut Board, North Carolina Peanut Growers Association, Oklahoma Peanut Commission, South Carolina Peanut Board, Texas Peanut Producers Board and the Virginia Peanut Growers Association.
Participating universities in the research projects include Auburn University, North Carolina State University, Texas A&M, University of Florida, University of Georgia, Clemson, Virginia Tech, Texas Tech, Oklahoma State University, Louisiana State University, Tidewater Agricultural Research and Extension Center, Texas Women's University and New Mexico State University.
Of its promotions spending, the NPB is allocating $3 million to advertising, $2 to PR and publicity, $1.5 million to health and nutrition, $1.5 million to export promotions, $1 million to the March of Dimes and $2 million for a peanut exhibit.
Advertising will be handled by the firm of Ogilvy and Mather, known for its work with the National Cotton Council, American Express and Kraft Foods. The peanut exhibit will be the world's largest traveling peanut, says Campbell, and will tour cities throughout the United States promoting peanut and peanut products.
The March of Dimes campaign will be a two-year sponsorship, with links being made to the health benefits of folic acid, he adds. An export promotion campaign will aim to increase U.S. exports of peanuts and peanut butter. An in-market advertising campaign will target Canada, the United Kingdom, Latin America, Germany and the Netherlands.
Health and nutrition funds, says Campbell, will be geared towards a national education program, third-party advocates such as registered dietitians and researchers and allergy kits for schools. Included in publicity and promotions is a website for the board, www.nationalpeanutboard.com/
