Two Day Black and White Film and Darkroom Workshop £395 is inclusive of film, papers and chemistry.
This two day workshop will guide you through the process of shooting film, getting it proccessed, creating a contact sheet and then printing an image which you have shot for you to take home. If you don't have your own film camera but have always fancied working with film, Keith has a camera for you to use. We'll take a roll of Ilford film on location in Saltburn by the sea, one of the jewels of the North Yorkshire Coast to get some great shots. Returning back to the studio and darkroom to process the film, produce a contact sheet and create a print of your work to take home.
What you will learn.
Day One
On the first morning you'll spend some time getting some great shots in Saltburn by the Sea where Keith will show you the process of how to assess the correct exposure using a hand held light meter rather than using the camera's light meter. Consistency of achieving the correct exposure every time is paramount.
After lunch we'll be in the darkroom where Keith will guide you through processing the film you have just shot whilst giving you an overview of the different effects the chemistry, timings and temperatures will have on the finished negative. You'll then go on to create your own contact sheet where, with Keith, you can review your images to choose the one you would like to print to take home.
Day Two.
It's all about the printing. Having chosen the image, you would like to print Keith will take you through the next stage which is choosing the chemistry and paper selection, how an enlarger works. He'll talk about the importance of safe lights, how to make test strips and how to use them to assess how you are going to print your final print which will include paper grade choice, correct exposure, dodging and burning and split grade printing.
The workshop is kept very smal to a maximum of two people so that throughout the two days you are encouraged you to ask as many questions as possible, so that when you leave you have had a richly rewarding experience, filled with enthusiasm and eager to continue your journey being an analogue photographer and darkroom technician.
"The artisan art of analogue black and white photography is a beautiful, engaging process taking you on an addictive path to expressing yourself and creating an individual piece of art." Keith Moss.
CAPACITY: Max: 2 per date
LOCATION: Keith Moss Photography Studio, 65 High Street, Brotton, Saltburn by the Sea North Yorkshire TS12 2PP
DURATION: 10am – 4pm approx.
WHAT TO BRING: A film camera 35mm or medium format with standard lens. You can use one of Keith's 35mm cameras if yu don't have one.
NICE TO BRING BUT OPTIONAL: Wide angle lens, short telephoto lens, ND graduated filter, ND filter, Red, Yellow or Orange filter, Tripod.
ADDITIONAL INFO: Film, appropriate chemistry, papers and negative carriers are all included in this course. Tea & Coffee is provided. Minimum age 18. The course will begin at the studio but some of it will take place outdoors, please dress appropriately and wear suitable footwear. We will provide tongs in the darkroom but please be aware that you will be working in an environment where chemicals may be handled.
GETTING THERE: We ask you to organise your own accommodation and transport as everyone has different requirements. There is a wide choice of hotels and B&Bs in and around Saltburn by the Sea and Whitby.
If you need more information, please email firstname.lastname@example.com or phone 01287 679655.

A downtown park that has become a center for family-friendly events and activities has put downtown Jacksonville in the running for top honors in an online contest celebrating great places in the state.
A downtown park that has become a center for family-friendly events and activities has put downtown Jacksonville in the running for top honors in an online contest celebrating great places in the state.
The North Carolina chapter of the American Planning Association is holding two online people�s choice contests as part of its Great Places in North Carolina initiative.
Downtown Jacksonville is one of six finalists in the Great Neighborhoods for Kids category. Joining Jacksonville on the list are Riverwood in Clayton; downtown Belmont; Lake Tomahawk in Black Mountain; and First Ward and Plaza Midwood in Charlotte.
Area residents are invited to submit their vote by 5 p.m. Friday, March 15, by going to ncgreatplaces.upickem.net.
City Manager Richard Woodruff said APA-NC invited communities to submit applications for the best kid-friendly parks in the state, and downtown Jacksonville was selected as a finalist for Riverwalk.
�For the last two decades we�ve been working to improve our downtown, and Riverwalk Park has been a focal point for kid-friendly and family friendly activities,� he said.
In addition to being home to Riverwalk Festival, it is a public venue for activities and events such as National Night Out, Winterfest, a free movies series and more.
As spring arrives, Sandra Wyrick, executive director of Bettering Our Local Downtown (BOLD), said many other outdoor activities will bring families downtown, from bicycling to kayaking on the New River.
She sees many reasons for the public to put their vote behind downtown Jacksonville and Riverwalk.
�I have such a passion for it and can see what it can be,� she said. �I think downtown is the heart and soul of every community.�
A vote for downtown Jacksonville would be recognition of the hard work that is being done to revitalize the area, Wyrick said.
�This would be awesome,� she said.
Downtown Jacksonville isn�t the only place in the area in the running for a people�s choice award.
Front Street in the Town of Beaufort is a finalist in the category for Great Main Streets, joining Market Street in Wilmington, Franklin Street in Chapel Hill, Union Street in Concord, Main Street in Hendersonville and Cherry Street in Black Mountain. Vote online also at ncgreatplaces.upickem.net.
Beaufort Mayor Richard Stanley said he�s reminded with each stroll down Front Street why it�s deserving of your vote.
�If you head down Front Street from one end to the other you can look at the boats going by, see all the beautiful homes, stop in the businesses. I love it every time I walk down it. We�re proud of Front Street.� He said.
For more information about the contests, go to greatplacesnc.org.

"Let us fetch the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of Shiloh unto us, that, when it cometh among us, it may save us out of the hand of our enemies." 1 Samuel 4:3
Suggested Further Reading: 1 Corinthians 1:13-17
How vain are the hopes that men build upon their good works, and ceremonial observances! How frightful is that delusion which teaches for the gospel a thing which is not "the gospel", nor "another gospel"; but it is a thing that would pervert the gospel of Christ. Let me ask thee solemnly, what is thy ground of hope? Dost thou rely on baptism? O man, how foolish thou art! What can a few drops of water, put upon an infant's forehead, do? Some lying hypocrites tell us that children are regenerated by drops of water. What kind of regeneration is that? We have seen people hanged that were regenerated in this fashion. There have been men that have lived all their lives as whoremongers, adulterers, thieves, and murderers, who have been regenerated in their baptism by that kind of regeneration. Oh, be not deceived by a regeneration so absurd, so palpable even to flesh and blood, as one of the lying wonders that have come from hell itself. But maybe thou sayest, "Sir, I rely upon my baptism, in after life." Ah, my friends, what can washing in water do? As the Lord liveth, if thou trustest in baptism thou trustest in a thing that will fail thee at last. For what is washing in water, unless it is preceded by faith and repentance? We baptize you, not in order to wash away your sins, but because we believe they are washed away beforehand; and if we did not think you believed so, we would not admit you to a participation in that ordinance. But if you will pervert this to your own destruction, by trusting in it, take heed; you are warned this morning. For as "circumcision availeth nothing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature," so baptism availeth nothing.
For meditation: Baptism is supposed to illustrate the gospel, not to replace it. The command to be baptised follows the new birth, repentance and faith in Christ (Mark 16:16; Acts 2:38; 8:12,36-38; 9:17-18; 10:47-48; 16:14-15,31-34; 18:8).

April 2, 2006
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - MIT's historical post-season run came to an end in the semifinals of NECVA Championship Tournament on Saturday. The No. 13 Engineers (23-9) swept No. 5 SUNY New Paltz, 30-24, 30-24, 30-18, in a quarterfinal match before falling to No. 8 Eastern Mennonite University, 30-17, 30-25, 31-29. Tech's 2-1 record in the tournament marked its best showing in its six trips to post-season play.
A balanced scoring attack helped power MIT in its sweep over New Paltz. Praveen Pamidimukkala totaled 11 kills while Ryan Dean, Scott Pollom, Alex Borschow, and Michelangelo Raimondi each contributed seven. Matthew Ng anchored the defense with 12 digs as Pamidimukkala and Jordan Wan both tallied seven. Scott Pollom posted a team-high four total blocks followed by three from Borschow. Wan also distributed 37 assists in the win.
Against Eastern Mennonite, Pollom paced the Engineers with 15 kills and three assisted blocks. Pamidimukkala added 14 kills while Dean accounted for all three of Tech's aces. Jason Park notched a team-high six digs as Wan dished out 41 assists.

[Naruto] Uchiha Madara: Man of Mystery
itachi was an ANBU squad leader how could he not know. and if that isnt the case how do they know about the other 8 tails?
Just came back... The nostalgia!
This fanfic goes together really well. But now the question is about Naruto and the fourth. Are they father and son. What about the Uzumaki clan? Is it a one man clan? More importantly which clans are the hokages from? (the elite hokage clan? lol). I mean they are the strongest in the village but it never says which clans they are from. If someone has some enlightenment about these questions please tell me, because I am confused.
A gun gives you the body, not the bird.
itachi was an ANBU squad leader how could he not know. and if that isnt the case how do they know about the other 8 tails?
yea at age 13 back then he was still in the academy
They would likely know about the tails from Madara.He is an Uchiha after all.
I think Naruto and the frouth are father and son but not too sure.

Uchiha Madara, Is one of the person who got Mangekyo Sharingan. I think uchiha Madara is controlling Akatsuki leader, to make use of akatsuki to get the demon fox for him.... I guess is like that. If Madara is the leader, Orochimaru will notice it as well, but he only says, he went there for itachi who got Mangekyo sharingan
What if Orochimaru is actually Uchiha Madara?!!
Nah couldn't be.....

You know....
Not everyone in the Naruto universe is from a clan......
I mean look at Lee or Kakashi for that matter.
I don't think that the Fourth was from a clan....I mean his original technique Hiraishin wasn't a bloodline technique......
I do believe that Naruto is related to the fourth in some way or another......
The Hokages aren't from one clan because none of them are related with the exception of Tsunade who is the granddaughter of the First...
You're probably right, but it's kind of wierd that the strongest people in Konoha are not from any specific clan....
What about the whirlpool symbol on the back of Naruto's orange jacket. I think that is the symbol of the Uzumaki clan, because Uzumaki means whirlpool in Japanese. Maybe when he was born they changed his name to Uzumaki for some special reason.... who knows? By the way do you believe that fanfic that I linked a while ago? As for me I believe some elements of it, but others I find hard to believe...but overall it was very informative. I learned many new things.
A gun gives you the body, not the bird.
there are other stuff like the one that you linked. . i've read a lot already. .. long time ag0. . . and just because madara knows the nine tails or vice versa doesn't necessarily mean that he is the AK leader. ... its not impossible for them to know about the bijuus and the jinchuurikis.. . actually AK doesn't only after the nine tails.. i assume you already know the true goal of the Akatsuki . .if not .. i aint saying it just yet. .. coz its a spoiler. .

Yeah isn't it to collect all the 9 bijus? But then what are they going to do with them? Does Itachi share this goal, and is the tengu thing just made up? Also could you link the sites you were talking about, because I am very interested in unravelling this mystery!
A gun gives you the body, not the bird.
If you read the manga you would know what their goal was. They say it too. I think it is to harness their power and all the shinobi countries will join them and they would have supreame power.
EDIT: I just got this of wikipedia:
Akatsuki's overall goal is world domination. To achieve that goal, the leader has set up a three-step process to work their way to it. First, they plan to obtain a large amount of money to support their organization. Second, they plan to set up a mercenary group loyal to no village. To build their reputation, they plan to accept any mission below the usual cost, which is covered by the excess amount of funds earned in the first part of their plan. Because there haven't been any wars in some time, the established shinobi villages can't afford to charge such low prices, leading the smaller countries to hire Akatsuki over the more expensive shinobi villages. By using the tailed beasts, Akatsuki can start wars and then immediately quell them, solidifying their reputation and convincing every country to depend on them, thus cornering the market in shinobi labor. Without any business, the other shinobi villages will collapse due to a lack of funds. Finally, after Akatsuki is the only major force of shinobi in existence, they can easily conquer the other countries.
As a large part of their plan, they actively hunt the tailed beasts and their hosts. Once a tailed beast or its host is captured, they seal them in a large statue for use at a later time. Akatsuki possesses six tailed beasts: the one-tailed Shukaku, the two-tailed demon cat, the three-tailed demon, and three other unknown demons.

For the final 15 minutes, "Million Dollar Quartet" had the crowd on its feet.
Keep in mind, this came only after a standing ovation that felt more obligatory than any the Artist Series had seen this season. If only the writers allowed these legends to uncork their fire earlier and if only the story was engaging enough to hold it all together.
Don't blame the stars. Cody Ray Slaughter (Elvis Presley), James Barry (Carl Perkins), Scott Moreau (Johnny Cash) and John Countryman (Jerry Lee Lewis) displayed the vocal and musical talent to keep the Times-Union Center's Moran Theater rocking on April 22. But for too long, the 100-minute musical (without an intermission) rests on a thin plot of four legends arriving in Memphis with very different agendas.
Based on the legendary recording session on Dec. 4, 1956, at Sun Records, the jukebox musical takes liberties with the songbook, but that mostly can be forgiven. (Other lesser-known songs and more gospel hits were played at the actual session, which was recorded by Sun founder Sam Phillips.)
To be fair, major hits "Blue Suede Shoes" and "Folsom Prison Blues" kept the opening night crowd tapping their feet, and that finale of "Hound Dog," "Riders in the Sky," "See You Later Alligator" and "Whole Lotta Shakin' Going On" sent many home satisfied.
However, some of the lines in "Million Dollar Quartet" might leave you wondering if these jokes were even funny in 1956. At one point, Sam pleads "Say amen, somebody," and Jerry Lee replies, "Amen, somebody."
No, it wasn't all that bad. Carl points out that "drunks don't buy records," and Johnny's reply, "they just make them," earned one of the night's biggest laughs.
Barry delivers the most memorable performance, though he has the advantage of playing the least-known of the four legends.
As Sam, Vince Nappo has the unenviable task of trying to hold the story together. More than once, he comes running out, begging for applause from the audience.
Don't blame him either. Blame the writers, Colin Escott and Floyd Mutrux. All these stars must go through the motions of a weak plot — including a rivalry that plays out as canned between the then-unknown Jerry Lee Lewis and the "has-been" Carl Perkins.
Maybe, you can forgive all that. Maybe, you can forgive a sparse set and no set changes. Maybe, you can forgive Mutrux and Escott having Sam utter "Million Dollar Quartet" not once but twice.
However, in Artist Series' stellar 2013-'14 season of Broadway in Jacksonville, "Million Dollar Quartet" was easily the weakest.
Where "Memphis, The Musical," "War Horse" and "Blue Man Group" soared at the T-U Center, this quartet coasts on nostalgia. Few will complain, but midway through, you might already be thinking about next season's "The Book of Mormon."

I wish I had read other reviews first before trying this magic jack out. So please, read first! DO.NOT.USE. I signed up for the free trial but returned the device within 30 days. I included the RMA and everything else like they said. I paid for the shipping and it was received and delivered to them timely. But guess what? THEY STILL CHARGED ME. I called several times and they keep hanging up. You can't talk to anybody who is decent enough to actually care about your concern. So my resolution would be just to file a dispute with my credit card company. I learned my lesson. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. STAY AWAY FROM THESE PEOPLE.
When I inquired for the service they had the 30 day free trial, but obviously I had to give them my credit card number. When I received the system it did not work well with my internet, so I contacted the company and received a RMA number with return authorization, and shipped the unit back within few days of receiving the unit exactly as they wanted and I did include a copy of the RMA authorization with the return, and the tracking showed that they did receive the unit within couple of days. But then the the 30 days free trial date ended they charged my credit card anyway, I have contacted them several times and they keep telling me that the return has not processed through their warehouse yet and this has been two months since they received the unit back. When they did transfer me to the department that supposedly would give you a refund, I was on hold for an hour twice. So don't expect to get refund from them. After calling several time and getting no where, I got a little aggressive with them and they just hung up the phone.

Ahmadinejad, Mahmoud
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (mämōōd´ ämädēnĕzhäd´), 1956–, Iranian politician. From a humble background, he supported the Islamic revolution (1979) while working toward his civil engineering doctorate and was a founder of the student union that occupied the U.S. embassy. He joined (1980) the Revolutionary Guards and served against Iraq, becoming a senior officer. He was governor of Arbadil prov. from 1993 to 1997, and then taught at Univ. of Science and Industry, Tehran.
An ultraconservative shaped by his experience in the Iran-Iraq War, he was appointed mayor of Tehran in 2003, and reversed or restricted many moderate reforms in the city. Running as an anticorruption populist and regarded as a dark horse, he was elected president in 2005, becoming the first non-cleric to hold the office since 1981. As president he gained notoriety internationally for provocative comments calling for an end to Israel and denying the Holocaust happened, but he also unexpectedly took somewhat liberal positions on some domestic social issues. His failure to address Iran's economic problems, however, was widely regarded as the cause of the losses suffered by his supporters and allies in the Dec., 2006, elections for local councils and the Assembly of Experts.
His reelection by a wide margin in June, 2009, was seen by many as fraudulent, and led to demonstrations that were suppressed by the government. His government subsequently secured legislation that led to reductions in many government subsidies. Ahmadinejad, who had long been supported by Ayatollah Khamenei, suffered a split with the religious leader in 2011 as hardline clerics apparently attempted to limit the president's powers. The president's opponents dominated parliament after the 2012 elections, and his favored successor was barred from running in the 2013 presidential election. Ahmadinejad sought to run in the 2017 presidential election but was barred from doing so.

Start your morning with a healthy breakfast that includes lean protein, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. Try making a breakfast burrito with scrambled eggs, low-fat cheese, salsa and a whole wheat tortilla or a parfait with low-fat plain yogurt, fruit and whole grain cereal.
Fruits and veggies add color, flavor, and texture plus vitamins, minerals and fiber to your plate. Make 2 cups of fruit and 2 ½ cups of vegetables your daily goal. Experiment with different types, including fresh, frozen and canned.
Get out the measuring cups and see how close your portions are to the recommended serving size. Use half your plate for fruits and vegetables and the other half for grains and lean protein foods. To complete the meal, add a serving of fat-free or low-fat milk or yogurt.
Regular physical activity has so many health benefits. Start by doing what exercise you can for at least 10 minutes at a time. Children and teens should get 60 or more minutes of physical activity per day, and adults should get two hours and 30 minutes per week. You don't have to hit the gym—take a walk after dinner or play a game of catch or basketball.
Healthy snacks can sustain your energy levels between meals, especially when they include a combination of foods. Choose from two or more of the MyPlate food groups: grains, fruits, vegetables, dairy, and protein. Try raw veggies with low-fat cottage cheese, or a tablespoon of peanut butter with an apple or banana.
Reading the Nutrition Facts panel can help you shop and eat or drink smarter.
Whether you want to eat better to lose weight or lower your risk or manage a chronic disease, consult the experts! Registered dietitian nutritionists can help you by providing sound, easy-to-follow personalized nutrition advice.
Reduce your chances of getting sick by practicing proper food safety. This includes: regular hand washing, separating raw protein foods from ready-to-eat foods, cooking foods to the appropriate temperature, and refrigerating food promptly. Learn more about home food safety at www.homefoodsafetyorg.
Quench your thirst with water instead of drinks with added sugars. Stay well hydrated by drinking plenty of water if you are active, live or work in hot conditions, or are an older adult.
Preparing foods at home can be healthy, rewarding and cost-effective. Resolve to learn some cooking and kitchen basics, like how to dice an onion or cook dried beans. The collection of "Planning and Prep" videos at www.eatright.org/videos will get you started.
You can eat out and stick to your healthy eating plan! The key is to plan ahead, ask questions and choose foods carefully. Compare nutrition information, if available, and look for healthier options that are grilled, baked, broiled or steamed.
Plan to eat as a family at least a few times each week. Set a regular mealtime. Turn off the TV, phones and other electronic devices to encourage mealtime talk. Get kids involved in meal planning and cooking and use this time to teach them about good nutrition.
Whether it's a lunch for work or school, prevent brown bag boredom with easy-to-fix, healthy lunch ideas. Try a whole-wheat pita pocket with veggies and hummus or a low sodium vegetable soup with whole grain crackers or a salad of mixed greens with low-fat dressing and a hard boiled egg.
Add more nutrition and eating pleasure by expanding your range of food choices. When shopping, make a point of selecting a fruit, vegetable or whole grain that's new to you or your family.
Seafood—fish and shellfish—contains a range of nutrients including healthy omega-3 fats. Salmon, trout, oysters and sardines are higher in omega-3s and lower in mercury.
Foods and drinks with added sugars can contribute empty calories and little or no nutrition. Reviewing ingredients on the food label can help you identify sources of added sugar. Visit www.ChooseMyPlate.gov for more information.
Expand the variety in your menus with budget-friendly meatless meals. Many recipes that use meat and poultry can be made without. Eating a variety of plant foods can help. Vegetables, beans, and lentils are all great substitutes. Try including one meatless meal per week to start out.
Check out what foods you have on hand before stocking up at the grocery store. Plan meals based on leftovers and only buy what you will use or freeze within a couple of days. Managing these food resources at home can help save nutrients and money

SailBOT - Virginia Tech
June 4, 2014
A team of Virginia Tech engineering students will race in the 8th annual SailBot 2014 International Robotic Sailing Regatta, a competition dedicated to building unmanned, autonomous miniature sailboats able to operate with limited to no human control.
The Virginia Tech SailBOT team includes roughly 40 students from across the College of Engineering, including the departments of aerospace and ocean engineering, mechanical engineering, engineering and science mechanics, and electrical and computer engineering.
The regalia tasks competitors with a traditional sailing race, station keeping, navigational accuracy, and the overall craft presentation. Among the event rules: Craft can be no longer than 2 meters.
The sailboat –black, 6.5 foot in length and lightweight, with a white sail atop –- project started in spring 2013 with an interest meeting, the brainchild of the Virginia Tech Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers student organization. The group wanted a surface ship team for ocean engineering students to balance the underwater Human Powered Submarine team, a long-time staple of the Ware Lab, said team commodore Thomas Shea III of Crofton, Maryland.

Archaeology of Buddhism in Asia
Himanshu Prabha Ray
This is an advance summary of a forthcoming article in the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Asian History. Please check back later for the full article.
Archaeology, as it has developed over the last few decades, helps define a context for both relic and image worship. It maps Buddhist sacred spaces both horizontally, across the physical and natural landscape, and vertically, in time, highlighting antecedents of religious sites and subsequent transformations. An important aspect is that of the interconnectedness of sites through pilgrimage and religious travel. Archaeology has helped to contextualize Buddhist religious architecture within its cultural landscape.
The eightfold path shown by the Buddha in the middle of the first millennium
Chinese Ceramic Production and Trade
John Miksic
Ceramics are the most abundant types of artifacts made by human beings in the last 12,000 years. Chinese potters discern two types of products: earthenware (tao), which is porous and does not resonate when struck, and wares with vitreous bodies (ci), which ring like a bell. Western potters and scholars differentiate stoneware, which is semi-porous, from porcelain, which is completely vitrified.
The earliest ceramics in the world are thought to have been made in China around 15,000 years ago. By the Shang dynasty, potters in China began to decorate the surfaces of their pottery with ash glaze, in which wood ash mixed with feldspar in clay to impart a shiny surface to the pottery. The first ash-glazed wares were probably made south of the Yangzi in Jiangnan.
In the 9th century, China began to export pottery, which quickly became sought after in maritime Asia and Africa. Pottery making for export became a major industry in China, employing hundreds of thousands of people, and stimulating the development of the first mass-production techniques in the world. Much of the ceramic industry was located along China's south and southeast coasts, conveniently located near ports that connected China with international markets. Chinese merchants had to adapt their wares to suit different consumers. For the last 1,000 years, Chinese ceramics provided an enormous amount of archaeological information on trade and society in the lands bordering the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean, contributing a major source of data to the study of early long-distance commerce, art, technology, urbanization, and many other topics. This section presents statistics from important sites outside China where Chinese ceramics have been found.
Maritime Archaeology of the Indian Ocean
Himanshu Prabha Ray
The interface between the sea and the land and the communities that have historically traversed the Indian Ocean form the focus of this article. Maritime communities have been sustained by a variety of occupations associated with the sea, such as fishing and harvesting other marine resources, pearling, salt making, sailing, trade, shipbuilding, piracy, and more. The communities of the sea negotiate land-based issues through a variety of strategies, which are evident in the archaeological record. Fishing as an adaptation dates to the prehistoric period, and fish remains have been found in abundance at several coastal prosites dating from the 5th millennium
A significant factor facilitating the integrative potential of these communities was their large cargo-carrying vessels, which not only facilitated transformation of the local settlements into centers of commerce and production, but also linked the local groups into regional and trans-regional networks. Underwater archaeology has contributed to an understanding of the boat-building traditions of the Indian Ocean, further supplemented by ethnographic studies of contemporary boat-building communities.
Monumental architecture along the coasts served dual functions. Not only did they provide spaces for the interaction of inland routes with those across the ocean, but the structures themselves were also used as major orientation points by watercraft while approaching land. The larger issue addressed underscores the need to include coastal structures such as wharfs, forts, shrines, and archaeological sites as a part of the maritime heritage and to aid in their preservation for posterity.
Warfare in Premodern Southeast Asia
Michael W. Charney
Warfare in premodern Southeast Asia, roughly that fought up until the end of the 19th century, was shaped by the environment across the region. Maritime trade connections brought the introduction and circulation of external models of warfare that would help to frame the way warfare in the region was depicted in some of the indigenous literature and art (including the influence of the Indian epics on shadow puppet theater). Firearms played a more direct role in determining the development of warfare in the region over the course of the early modern period. As a result of better firearms, the elephant declined in battlefield importance and was increasingly replaced by cavalry. In the 18th century, Southeast Asians fielded some of their best-organized armies, and in the early 19th century there was a temporary revival of naval strength in parts of the region, particularly in Vietnam. Nevertheless, the introduction of the steamship and better European military technology from the 1820s ushered in the decline of the remaining Southeast Asian armies by the end of the 19th century. Although indigenous states would attempt to modernize and catch up with Europe militarily, all of Southeast Asia, save for Thailand, fell under European control.

Corn and soybean profit margins could be squeezed to nothing over the next 10 years.Tweet
If you are a Cornbelt farmer, how will you be making enough money to survive a decade from now? That is a question for you and your family to ponder, based on profitability projections in the latest publication of the University of Missouri's Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI). FAPRI has calculated a significant squeeze on profitability for corn and soybean production over the next 10 years. And when you get to 2022, everyone in a farm family will need several part time jobs to put enough food on the table.
The FAPRI analysis and projection of the agricultural economy over the next 10 years was in a report provided to Congress, and many of the numbers parallel the recent 10 year projection of the Congressional Budget office. While there were detailed financial numbers provided, FAPRI also offered some generalizations:
- Higher corn prices almost offset sharply lower yields in 2012/13, leaving average Corn returns decline from 2011/12 peak per-acre corn market revenues only slightly lower than the 2011/12 record.
- Lower prices more than offset the projected yield increases, so market revenues decline in 2013/14 and 2014/15.
- Variable expenses (which exclude land costs) continue to increase.
- Projected farm program payments are very small relative to corn market receipts.
When FAPRI looked at corn, economists projected an initial surge in planted acres to nearly 97 million in 2013, with the acreage quickly tapering off in 2014 and remaining near the 91 million acre mark for the remainder of the 10 year period. With trend line yields rising to 180 bushels, production approaches the 15 billion bushel mark, with annual carryover of 1.5 to 2.0 billion bushels. Relationships between feed, ethanol, and exports generally stay in the same range, with exports returning to the 2.5 billion bushel range.
The kicker for the corn grower is the projected price fails to average over $5 per bushel. FAPRI calculates the farm price in the high $4 range through 2022. With the trend yield, that puts average gross revenue per acre in the $800 range for most of the period. Variable expenses slow rise from the current $350 per acre to over $400 per acre, with net returns generally in the $450 range. The question that corn growers will have to answer is whether land acquisition costs, whether rent or mortgage payments, can be covered by that level of margin and still have enough money for family living expense.
- The increase in soybean prices is more than enough to offset the drop in soybean yields, so per-acre market receipts are at record levels in 2012/13.
- In 2013/14, projected prices fall more than yields increase, causing per-acre revenues to decline.
- Soybean returns must remain strong for soybeans to be competitive with corn.
- As with other crops, soybean prices and returns are likely to be very volatile.
When the FAPRI economists looked at soybean numbers, they found planted acres would reach over 78 million this year, but stay in the 77 million acre range for the balance of the 10 year period. The average yield will slowly rise from the 43.5 bu. expected in 2013 to 47.9 bushels in 2022, resulting in annual production in the 3.3 to 3.6 billion bushel range. The crush will range from 1.6 to 1.8 billion bushels, exports will range from 1.4 to 1.6 billion, and FAPRI projects the carryout will remain below 200 million bushels annually.
The average farm price each year will be in the mid-$11 range for the 10 years studied. Gross soybean receipts will begin under $500 per acre, and end in the mid-$500 range in 2022-23. Subtracting variable expenses of $140 to $160 per acre, leaves net returns to labor and land of $340 to $380 per acre. As in the case of corn, can a soybean producer in the Cornbelt grow and sell soybeans with that level of return and still have money left for either cash rent or land mortgage payments and still have enough for family living expenses?
- Projected corn and soybean production over the next ten years is expected to slowly increase with higher yields, but with marginally higher demand, farmgate prices will remain at levels which could be challenging for many farmers. Corn prices are forecast to average under $5 through 2022 and soybean prices are forecast to average under $12 for the same period. Net returns to labor and land over the ten year period may be less than what cash rents will average. That will leave insufficient amounts for family living expenses.

The DENSI2012 Summer Institute opened with Reed Timmer (@reedtimmerTVN) of Storm Chasers fame. Be sure to look through his website as he has set up so you and your students are able to track storms live or view the live video weather cams.
If you look up exuberant in a thesaurus, all the adjectives describe Reed and his passion for meteorology. He is such a good sport, shown at the right posing with Kathy Schrock before his presentation.
In his presentation, titled The Science of Extreme Storm Chasing, we got a glimpse of the excitement and seriousness of his work. His true passion is what inspires me most. While working with teachers and students, being able to find ways to light a fire of passion about a subject is the ultimate goal. Children love to wonder, this naturally connects to the STEM subjects. Give them access to inspired people and their research and chances to experiment to find their own passion.
Thank you for inspiring me and others!
What will you chase?!?!

DearREADERS,Someone asked me to post the Parable of the Red Pencil which I gave at the beginning of a presentation to the Utah Valley PAF Users Group. This blog post is to honor those patient Family History Consultants and others out there who realize how to gently but firmly lead folks into better research practices. I once fell victim to the dreaded red pencil of a "look down her nose" ward genealogist, but I was offered no way out of the situation. At the time I just gave up, figuring I'd never get the hang of genealogy research.
The Parable of the Red Pencil
A certain beginning genealogist went down from her home on the Provo bench, and fell in with an old-timey "ward genealogist", who took the newbie researcher's hand written family group sheets and marked them roughly with red pencils, wherever there was an obvious mistake. This left the beginner's heart half dead, stranded amid piles of disorganized family photos, source documents, and ill-contrived pedigree and family group sheets.
By chance there came down a Certified Genealogist, and when he saw her, he passed by on the other side.
And likewise an Accredited Genealogist came down that way, and when she saw her, she passed by on the other side.
But a certain Ward Family History Consultant, as she journeyed, came where the beginning genealogist was, and she saw her, she had compassion on her.
And went to her, and bound up her wounds, by extending a hand of friendship and support, and set her down with a computer (to organized things) and took her to the local LDS Family History Center and took care of her.
And on the morrow when she departed, she took out two forms (a research log and one for census extraction) and gave them to the beginning genealogist, and said unto her "Take care and don't worry, I am here to help you climb your family tree. And whatsoever thou needest more, when I come again, I will assist thee."
Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was of true genealogical assistance unto her that fell down with discouragement at the overwhelming task of gathering family names?
Should we not say she that showed mercy on her?
Quoting from the original parable of the Good Samaritan, in Luke 10: 37 we read:
"Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise."
May I suggest that we should cease using our red pencils as swords, but we should break them down into plowshares?
Consider that a soft answer turneth away wrath.
And that a merry heart doeth good like a medicine.
And behold have we not been taught, that by small and simple things are great things brought to pass?
Happy family tree climbing!
Myrt :)
Your friend in genealogy.

Killing The Golden Goose: Is Hollywood To Blame For Netflix's Poorly Thought Out Massive Price Hike?
from the what-blockbuster-and-walmart-couldn't-kill... dept
Exactly none of that played out the way people expected. Netflix continued to grow, and successfully expanded into video streaming, rather than just DVD rentals, with a very convenient flat-rate program. Walmart gave up on its Netflix-like business in 2005, and actually handed over the keys to Netflix, to let it run Walmart's online movie rental business. Amazon realized it couldn't really compete with DVD rentals and never brought that business to the US. Blockbuster tried over and over again to compete, but never got much traction, went bankrupt, and eventually was bought by Dish Network earlier this year.
Meanwhile, Netflix has continued to thrive, and plenty of people have pointed to its online streaming, which represents a giant chunk of US internet traffic, as an example of how if you provide a convenient, user-friendly and well-priced offering, you can compete with unauthorized file sharing. With Netflix, the company seems to realize that it's that convenience and access that people are paying for, rather than the content itself.
But, of course, as with so many things involving technology and services that make content more valuable, the copyright holders get jealous and start complaining that they're not making enough. With Netflix's growing power, the studios have been on the warpath to cripple Netflix in protest of the current pricing scheme. In some ways, they really hate some of Netflix's early deals, which allowed the company to offer such a convenient and reasonably priced offering. Pretty much all of the later online streaming movie offerings are, instead, forced to play by the big studios' rules, which makes most of those services totally undesirable.
This has also resulted in some fights with studios directly, and some studios even pulling movies from Netflix.
Given all that, it's hardly a surprise that Netflix decided it needed to raise its prices around 60% for many users. AS you've probably heard, they've basically separated the physical DVD rentals and the online streaming, which used to be included with most accounts. Now you have to pay for each separately, so to get what people had before, their bills are going up quite a bit.
The result of this announcement has been all over the internet (including Netflix's blog and Facebook page), and it would be safe to say that everyone hates the new pricing with a passion. It's incredibly aggressive on the pricing front, but it's not difficult to see why Netflix did this. First, the competitive playing field looks a lot clearer today than it did a few years ago. When companies have no real competition, they jack up prices massively.
Second, however, I'd bet that Netflix is currently in a battle to control its destiny behind closed doors with Hollywood. The studios are demanding lots more cash than in the past, and Netflix seems to think that jacking up prices quite a lot is one way to get the necessary revenue. But Hollywood, of course, couldn't care much less if Netflix survives. They still think that their endorsed crappy online services, with their DRM and massive limitations, is legitimate competition.
So while some are blaming Netflix for the giant price hike, I think it makes more sense to look at the studios and their unwillingness to fully embrace Netflix, always worrying that it would "take away" from their existing business lines.

He was a Lexington original. With his deep, guttural voice and warm, engaging personality, the late the Rev. Billy Joe Leonard was deeply entrenched in the very fabric of this community.
He was a Lexington original. With his deep, guttural voice and warm, engaging personality, the late the Rev. Billy Joe Leonard was deeply entrenched in the very fabric of this community.
He was born and raised in Lexington where his father, the legendary Rev. A. Odell Leonard, was pastor of the Second Reformed Church. When father retired in 1967 after serving the church for 45 years, Billy Joe (as he preferred to be called) literally followed in his footsteps. Together, this father and son served Second Reformed and the Lexington community for over 70 years.
When I arrived in Lexington a mere 23 years ago, Billy Joe was an iconic figure. He was the dean of preachers, the pastor of the people and a local treasure. The first time I ever heard him pray I was overwhelmed. The very rafters shook as he called upon the almighty to bless the occasion. He got my attention — there was no way God could miss that prayer.
Dr. Lee Dukes invoked the memory of Billy Joe Leonard at the FaithHealthNC community meeting last week. He shared that when he first came to Lexington Memorial Hospital in 1980, incoming patients were routinely asked for their church affiliation. Lee noticed that a disproportionate number of people would list Second Reformed. When he would call Billy Joe, he would discover that many of these people were not connected with his church.
But it was not surprising in a way, for Billy Joe, like his father, cared deeply about all the people of Lexington. Those who were down and out, discouraged, poor and desperate knew they there was one man they could count on. It soon made sense to Lee Dukes, people who didn't really know him, who had never been to his church, knew they had a friend in Billy Joe.
This very spirit drives FaithHealthNC. Every person in this town, regardless of who they are, the resources they possess or the people they know, should have a friend when it comes to health care. But who is this friend? Billy Joe is not with us anymore. Who cares about every person in this town? Who can lift up those who are on the bottom, the poor, the depressed, the ones who have lost jobs and homes and feel all alone? Is it not the community of faith? Is it not those of us who represent the Christ who is our greatest friend?
FaithHealthNC is a partnership, a covenant relationship based on trust between heath care providers and the faith community. Wake Forest Baptist Health — Lexington Medical Center announced last week that it has hired the Rev. Coley Rimmer as the first health care liaison who will be the link between our hospital and the faith community. Churches are being invited to join the covenant community so that together we can bring hope and healing to our churches and community.
This dynamic partnership will be most beneficial for our churches. We can help our members access health care more effectively, and there will be training opportunities, health-related seminars, screenings and programs that will be provided for the congregations. Perhaps the greatest benefit is creating a healthy culture in our churches by keeping members informed and equipped on vital health issues and generally making us all more health conscious. While all of this is good and exciting, the most compelling reason that I am committed to FaithHealthNC is the difference it can make in our community.
Lexington is not a healthy community. We have such a high percentage of poverty, of unemployment and the uninsured. Most people who do not have health insurance will not seek help until their situation is serious. This results in staggering amounts of medical debt that is simply devastating to a family. Through FaithHealthNC those of us in the churches can reach out to these people, who are all God's children, and say, "We can help you. We can get you the health care you need — at the right place, the right time and the right way."
The Rev. Donnell FitzJefferies said it best, "When someone is there to hand you a glass of water the pill becomes more effective, and when someone is there to hold your hand in the hospital the surgery heals better, and when someone is there to walk with you, you know that you are not alone."
I encourage your church to prayerfully consider FaithHealthNC. I know Billy Joe Leonard will be smiling on us all when we reach out in love to someone who needs a friend.
The Rev. Dr. Ray Howell III is senior minister at First Baptist Church on West Third Avenue.

text: Homeland Security Awards FMD Vaccine Contract October 18, 2012 05:34 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By News Release Email Source: Harrisvaccines Harrisvaccines has been awarded a $1.114 million contract from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate to develop an RNA Particle (RP) vaccine to potentially protect the United States from foot-and-mouth disease (FMD), the company announced. FMD is caused by the highly infectious FMD virus (FMDV), which produces blisters in the mouth and feet of cloven-hoofed animals such as cattle and swine. The U.S. has been FMDV-free since 1929, but the disease represents a significant threat to U.S. agriculture. Harrisvaccines will use the contract over the next 34 months to develop an RNA Particle vaccine against FMDV. The company's unique RP platform technology allows for the vaccine to be manufactured without handling the infectious FMD virus; only a gene sequence from the virus is needed to prepare the vaccine. This characteristic allows the RP-based FMDV vaccine to be produced in Harrisvaccines' USDA-licensed production facility in Ames. Production of FMDV vaccines using traditional methods in the U.S. is not allowed due to the significant risk of releasing the virus into FMD-free U.S. during production. "Our rapid response technology allows us to produce large amounts of vaccine quickly," says Dr. Kurt Kamrud, Vice President of Research and Chief Scientific Officer for Harrisvaccines. "And, because only a portion of the FMDV genetic information is required to generate a vaccine, the RP-based approach will allow for the differentiation of infected from vaccinated animals (DIVA) when used with current and next generation FMD serology-based diagnostic assays, which is very important in the event of an outbreak." Should an outbreak occur, a fast and effective vaccine will help prevent the spread of infection, which would be devastating to U.S. agriculture if not interrupted with a DIVA compliant solution, Kamrud added. About Harrisvaccines Headquartered in Ames, Iowa, Harrisvaccines focuses on revolutionizing animal health vaccines and enhancing productivity in the swine, cattle, equine, and farmed shrimp industries. Using state-of-the-art advanced molecular science, Harrisvaccines employs a unique RNA platform to develop products for animal diseases. For more information, visit www.harrisvaccines.com.

New Jerseyans including Harrington Park's Cory Booker are not happy about an article in the Boston Globe that they say made a mockery of New Jersey
The article is about Trump's 17-day working vacation in Bedminister and takes a whack at New Jersey, citing "spray tans, Snooki, muscle shirts, 'The Sopranos,' traffic jams and toll plazas," wrote Matt Viser and Annie Linskey.
Cory Booker told The Globe: "This is something that needs no defense. Unlike the Patriots. Unlike the Celtics. Unlike the Red Sox. Which need a lot of defending."
Rutgers alum Katie Leach was among the many people scoffing at the story.
"Next person to knock Trump for vacationing in New Jersey is about to see me go full Christie-with-nachos-at-baseball-game," she said on Twitter.

When I found SillyHats videos I was so stupid that I didnt downloaded them, isnt there anyone who have them downloaded and can upload them somewhere, or just send them to me? They are the most funny Umineko related videos I know and I want to watch them again.
In exchange - not directly a Umineko related but just listen to the lyrics.
Maybe I will make an AMV later.

Just something quick I made while being bothered because of Kanon's voice, just listen closely.
It's something I made for showing off how "good" Kanon sounds, IMO. Of course with the help of Beato^^
I used voice examples from the second Drama CD in the beginning so people who have a good ear might get a little bit spoiled (even so I only used small clips and not so important scenes) It also contains clips of the forth anime episode
Spoiler for really tiny spoilers, except if you speak japanese than it's a real spoiler:

By the way I also read that everything except music in Umineko is under Creative Common licence, so it can be reused as long as it isnt sold. I like this approach.

I intended that xD
That's the reason I "can't stand" Kanon's voice, me as a Setsuna fans directly thinks of her while hearing that voice. Well both want to protect their "Milady" but still...

Well, Kobayashi yuu has the knack for certain characters but indeed, when she uses her tomboy/boy voice, it is all the same... You might understand if you check out Saki or Maria Holic
But I believe she is a bit more convincing as Kanon than as Satoshi.

Actually, we did get an email reply from BT of 07th-Expansion, which said that he's impressed and grateful that we're translating the Higurashi PC games into English and allowing them to be enjoyed by a wider audience, similar to the message that Witch Hunt got. So we basically have their approval to continue this project, and we're happy to be able to do so.
However, it turns out that we didn't really need their permission or official recognition to do this project. We found out from chronotrig, at the Witch Hunt Umineko translation project, that they actually consider translation groups like ours to be doing 'derivative works' (二次創作). They address groups who do such works at the top of the FAQ (よくある質問) page at the 07th-Expansion website. I suggest you check the original Japanese more carefully for the details, but in short Ryuukishi07 is allowing anyone to make derivative works based on his characters and story setting, within reason (he references an infamous Pokemon doujishi as an example of going too far). So long as you "do it with love" and take responsibility for what you produce as ultimately YOUR product and not theirs, they don't mind. Frankly, they've given a very generous gift to the rest of the doujinshi and fan-works community.
This goes beyond the usual idea of 'fanfiction' or 'fan-made manga' to also include use of the text and command script that he wrote, the character art that he drew, and the backgrounds that they devised - basically the parts that he owns the copyright on. This means that people can even make their own scenarios to use within the Higurashi game framework, like the outtakes we added ^^. Ryuukishi07 explains this in the second of these two forum posts here.
He also explains that this does NOT include the sound effects and music used in the games, which he used either by licensing or by permission of the owner/composer. He's not the copyright holder, so it's not his place to allow other people to use those. This is why we're particularly glad that our releases consist of small patches that contain only the translated script and a few translated images, which can be applied to the original game.

I read Ben Root's "Microhydro Myths & Misconceptions" article in HP146 with great interest. I wonder if you could point me in the right direction with the following question.
Every time I look into hydropower generation, the key calculation involves flow and head. Well, head is pretty static, usually, but flow can change dramatically. That's the case on our Washington property: We might have a 100-foot head, but the 8-inch-diameter pipe that carries the water might be 3/4 inch full on a rainy day in the winter, or have no flow in the summer. Can you direct me to microhydro plants that can deal with such flow variations?
Theo Eicher • Seattle, Washington
Hydropower is indeed all about head and flow. If you multiply head (in feet) by flow (in gallons per minute; gpm) and divide by a factor of about 12, you'll get a rough approximation of the power (in watts) potential. This formula tells us that head and flow are equal factors in the energy output of a hydro system. If we double the head, we double the potential power. If we double the flow, we also double the potential power. We need a combination of head and flow that will give us the power and, therefore, energy we need—or at least enough to make installing the equipment worthwhile.
Both head and flow need to be measured, not guessed. And with the seasonal flow variation you describe, it's wise to measure the flow at least several times during the year, if not monthly or more. With accurate head and flow numbers, you can make accurate power and energy calculations. And you need to remember that a year's data is not necessarily enough to predict energy for decades, since you may be measuring in a year that happens to be very dry or very wet.
Since head is half of the hydropower equation, maximizing the head on your property—or even on neighbors' properties, with permission—will give you the most power with whatever flow is available. I often see prospective and installed hydro systems that could be giving their owners better energy and financial return if they would simply tap the full head they have available. Of course, the longer the length of pipe, the more it will cost, and the larger the pipe diameter needs to be to avoid flow restrictions—so any additional head needs to be balanced with the extra costs involved.
A hydro turbine is ideally designed for a specific head and flow. The characteristics of the runner—diameter, bucket size and spacing, etc.—can maximize the output for a specific head and flow. If you give a runner more or less head or flow than it is designed for, you'll get lower efficiency—less power for the same potential. That said, most turbines can function over a range of heads and flows, though not optimally across the whole range. I suggest that you seek out the turbine manufacturers' websites and literature and look at their predictions for production of their products in heads and flows that will work for your site. And talk with them directly once you have specific measurements.
If your flow is variable, one strategy could be to have two or more smaller turbines, if you are willing to manage the system as the flow varies. Single-turbine system owners can also do this by varying the number and size of nozzles they use at a given time. Having multiple turbines and/or nozzles allows optimum use of most or all of the changing flows.
Again, with both head and flow, it's very important to get accurate measurements in advance. Without this, your design is a guess. Mapping the head across the property will show you how much you need to spend on piping for how much vertical drop. Measuring flow in various seasons will allow you to calculate the power available in various flows, and decide whether a high but rare flow is worth designing for or not. Most often, maximizing head and designing for some middle ground in flow will be best (see "Microhydro Design Considerations" in HP132). We're fortunate in the home-scale hydro industry to have communicative and generous turbine manufacturers who can help you sort out the best specific plan once you have good data to work with.

Dining on hefty servings of fried catfish and iced tea, area cotton producers pondered their future at what has become an annual rite of passage before the growing season — the East Alabama Cotton Production Meeting, held this year at Henny Penny's Restaurant in Marvyn.
The meetings, cover all facets of cotton production and are intended to help producers "stay on top of the myriad of changes taking place in the U.S. cotton industry," according to Jeff Clary, a retired Alabama Cooperative Extension System agent who is still working part-time to keep growers abreast of new technology and production practices.
One primary concern among many growers is making the transition from a production system based entirely on cotton to one in which cotton and peanuts will be grown in tandem.
Harvest timing will be critical, says Dale Monks, an Extension crop physiologist.
"Peanuts need to be dug out at the right time. Otherwise, you're not going to end up with anything," Monks says. "With cotton, you're not going to lose anything if you don't harvest it at the right time, but you may lose out on quality."
This will require careful advanced planning and variety selection, he stresses.
Herbicide selection, he says, is another important consideration.
"Weed control is a critical issue with peanuts," Monks says. "But growers need to be careful about these herbicide choices because the wrong selection may prevent them from planting cotton behind peanuts the following year."
One other challenge facing cotton producers is the speed with which new varieties are becoming commercially available — a factor that is making it harder for growers to evaluate them.
Monks says growers need to make a special effort to establish their own test plots or work closely with companies and Extension agents to learn as much as they can about these new varieties.
Another major concern is the damaged caused to cotton yields from nematodes, a soilborne pest, and one that cause more than $400,000 in damage to U.S. cotton producers in 2004, according to Bill Gazaway, a retired Extension plant pathologist who continues conducting research on behalf of Alabama growers.
Unfortunately, Gazaway says, no truly nematode-resistant cotton varieties are available to growers and likely won't be for another five to 10 years.
On the positive side, Mike Patterson, an Extension weed scientist, expressed enthusiasm for three new technologies — Envoke, Liberty Link and Valor — available this year that will help growers better manage weed problems.
Envoke, Patterson says, will offer more flexibility for growers who have opted to stick with conventional cotton varieties rather than the far more prevalent transgenic varieties.
On the other hand, Valor will provide growers of conventional and transgenic varieties alike with another useful tool for directed spraying just before harvest.
Finally, Liberty Link, a transgenic product similar to Roundup Ready cotton, may be especially useful if growers begin to encounter weed resistance to glyphosate.
Also on the positive side, Bob Goodman, an Extension economist, stressed that U.S. cotton growers, despite their many challenges, have continued to make steady strides in production efficiency.
"I don't know all of the factors involved, but it's obvious that yields keep going up even though acreage and fertilizer use have remained steady," Goodman says — a fact, he believes, that bodes well for farmers as Congress begins taking up discussion on the new farm bill.
Ron Smith, retired Extension entomologist who updated growers on technological advances in insect control, was followed by Charles Mitchell, who discussed the implications of nitrogen costs.
About 45 cotton producers from throughout the region attended the meeting, which was co-sponsored by Extension and Stoneville Seed Company.

Here's a look at a flow chart of potential "Cluster Agency Groupings" for the division of IT or information technology services among the various state agencies.
This comes, of course, as the Cuomo Administration is looking at consolidating various agencies along themes or functions.
While this Cluster chart is limited to IT, it may provide a window into what the Administration is thinking over the long term when it comes to consolidation.
