"More Government Employees Are for Whom?"
"More Government Employees Are for Whom?". February. 24, 2005 22:33. by Chang-Won Kim legman@donga.com changkim@donga.com.
As the Roh Moo-hyun administration pursues a "big government," the number of government employees late last year recorded an all-time high since 1997.
Under these circumstances, some are raising criticism that the quality of public services is at a standstill, although much more taxpayers' money is being spent for public officials in labor costs.
Experts warn that there is an urgent need for a government restructuring so that it can pursue a small government and activate the function of the market.
The Ministry of Planning and Budget and the Ministry of Government Administration and Home Affairs noted on February 24 that there were, as of late 2004, 931,872 government officials working for the administration, the legislature and the judicature, the biggest number since the end of 1997, when Korea was in the midst of an economic crisis and had 935,759 government employees.
Provided that the government plans to hire 35,160 new employees this year, it is estimated that the number of government officials will reach a whopping 967,032.
The number of government employees had been on the decrease for four years in a row (1998 through 2001), due to the government's restructuring efforts since the financial crisis that hit hard Korea. However, it started to show about a two percent annual increase in 2002, and now is about to return to its 1997 level.
Government workers have grown in numbers by 4.7 percent since the Roh Moo-hyun administration was inaugurated back in February 2003, a figure that is 2.9 percentage points higher than the increase in the number of employees during the corresponding period, which is 1.8 percent.
There were 183 to 189 government employees per every 10,000 people under the Kim Dae-joong government. However, it grew to 194 under the incumbent administration and is projected to pass the 200 mark.
Economist Gong Byeong-ho explained, "With the focus of the government's plans switching to 'distribution,' the government's role as well as the number of government workers have grown at the same time," adding, "It seems the government has decided to tread the path of 'big government,' not 'small government,' in which it accentuates the function of the market."
Nevertheless, the quality of public services felt by the public is not likely to improve greatly, as the number of government employees of fifth or higher grade shot up by 10.2 percent from 2000 through 2004, while the number of workers lower than sixth grade just increased by 6.9 percent. In other words, the number of high-ranking officials who present the direction of government plans grew a lot, while that of low-ranking officials, who are supposed to do work that deals with the public directly, displayed a relatively small increase.
With the increase in the number of government officials, more money is being spent for them in labor costs.
According to the Ministry of Planning and Budget, as of late 2004, about 19.3 trillion won was spent for central government officials in labor costs, up 7.0 percent from 18.64 trillion won of late 2003. In effect, every citizen is paying a tax of 410,000 won for central government officials in labor costs every year.
The government's regulations have increased likewise: there were about 14,000 government's regulations back in 1998, and that number fell to about 6,900 in 2000. Now, the number has grown for the past four years and stands somewhere around 7,900.
Chief researcher Cho Seong-bong from the Korea Economic Research Institute analyzed, "It is the result of the government's strategy to have more regulatory fields and employees aimed at securing a larger proportion of the budget.

She Wrote "My Friend Flika"
Since coming to Wyoming PBS in 2011 I've thought that a farm/food show would be a great thing to create in Wyoming, but it wasn't clear that enough was happening in the local food subculture to make a series…. So I worked on Wyoming Chronicle with Geoff O'Gara and Richard Ager for a couple years and, along the way, I gradually discovered an abundance of great stories across Wyoming – talented chefs and deep thinking, deep digging farmers. The last "kicker" for this idea to come to fruition came during my trip to LocalFest 2012 in Pinedale. Now, we seem to be underway. Having aired the Pilot episode of Farm to Fork Wyoming, we've gotten some great feedback and the real work now begins!
Season Two is under way!
It has been a busy summer and fall has come to it's second and final ending. Content for Season 2 has been going 'in the can' as we say in 'film speak'. That is to say, we have been filming for various episodes and have a few hours of interviews now, most of which are with experts in sustainable agriculture and food systems. You can see the two keynote speeches from Sheridan's Living and Working on the Land Conference. The Speakers were Frederick Kirschenmann and Ken Meter. Interviews with them will be part of the season ahead. You can see Ken in the first episode of Season Two, School Lunch, which premiered in October.
The first year of Farm to Fork Wyoming covered some cornerstone topics in the emerging local food supply, you can stream season 1 episodes from this Blog's home page. Now, there are many layers to this ever evolving tale, and it's great to see these stories about Wyoming's 'local' food and agricultural communities being told under the Wyoming PBS umbrella! To learn more about how we plan to fund the year ahead visit our crowd funding page.
How we look at the food on our plates is such a dynamic issue today. As we struggle to reconcile obesity and other food and lifestyle related problems we begin to see how our food choices also impact our farm communities and the far reaching environmental consequences of today's agricultural choices - not to mention the economic and food safety consequences of an increasingly centralized food system.
The way farmers adapt and respond to the predicaments they have faced economically and ecologically is perhaps the most fascinating part of this story for me. The more I understand about the issues driving and shaping the niche 'local food' part of agriculture, the more I see our American culture (and youth) being energized and awakened with profoundly renewed values and life choices.
Looking ahead to season 2 for Farm to Fork Wyoming, I've been talking to farmers and local food advocates like Bonnie Gregory of Sheridan, Terri & Lloyd Craft of Worland, Rod Morrison of Powell, Mike and Cindy Ridenour of Yoder, Scott Richard and Chef Jake Scott of Cody… In the process, I've discovered vibrant communities full of provocative thinkers and visionaries coalescing in Wyoming and igniting the next level of a locally connected food system. Innovative consumer/farmer connections are being forged, enabling artisans, families and food service professionals to secure nutritious locally grown foods. Farmers who have been sacrificing their personal resources to solve the challenges of feeding their neighbors are beginning to see the potential for making a living from their wholesome approach to food production. This viability is happening in part because consumers are beginning to see the importance of not just seeking out the cheapest of foods, but paying more of the real cost to have quality regional foods for their families.
Shoshone River CSA - How one young farmer has transformed a depleted salts and rock laden dairy grounds into a fertile vegetable farm using a good measure of biodynamic practices. Scott Richard is now producing weekly shares for 80+ families in addition to two farmer's markets, and weekly commercial harvests for the Whole Foods Trading Company grocer and Willow Fence Tea Room, among others.
Sheridan County School District 1 - Getting local foods into the 2014-15 school lunch program. After years of deliberation over budgets and deficits, federal nutrition guidelines and a jigsaw puzzle of ill-fitted standards, Sheridan County School District 1 ultimately abandoned the whole federal lunch program - subsidies, rules and all - on the belief that they could feed their students at a higher, more flavorful and nourishing standard than the federal 'one size fits all' model. Sourcing locally, they've partnered with Holliday Family Farms to provide salad bar produce and Master's Ranch to supply beef.
Nationally known leaders in local food systems - There are some fascinating thought leaders visiting Wyoming in the year ahead. We'll seek out global and national perspectives on rural food systems and agriculture through interviews with people like Fred Kirschenmann and Ken Meter to help illuminate season 2 of Farm to Fork Wyoming. Fred Kirschenmann and Ken Meter are the Keynote speakers for the 'Living and Working on the Land' conference Sept 3rd and 4th, 2014 in Sheridan.
There is much more in the works for Season 2, from locally raised and processed poultry to permaculture, apple orchards, Wyomatoes and certified organics in Wyoming. Since we rely on funding from viewers to make the shows you find on Wyoming PBS possible, we will be embarking on a new funding strategy with Farm to Fork Wyoming. While Public Television and Radio are considered pioneers of 'crowdfunding', online crowdfunding is something completely new to us - but it's an idea we like! So in September we will launch our first Farm to Fork Wyoming Indiegogo funding campaign.
Like all of our local programs on Wyoming PBS, we have built Farm to Fork Wyoming around the interests of our viewers, rather than marketing appeal for products and industry. We are here to bring you the lesser known thoughts and workings around Wyoming. We certainly welcome the support of our business and industry communities, but are inviting this support through our crowd sourcing campaign. We invite everyone to join this 'people powered' approach to making this show possible!
So help us make this next season of Farm to Fork Wyoming fulfill its promise. When you visit our Indiegogo campaign you'll find great perks for your support and you can see how your dollars will be spent. Your support will help the Wyoming PBS team explore and share the rural landscapes and communities of Wyoming and ensure thought provoking and informative content - and maybe, we can get an extra episode or two out! Not to mention, more online exclusive content.
Visit this blog often as our season develops and unfolds! We love to share the artistry of farmers, chefs and food artisans with their appreciation and insights into beautiful Wyoming produced food.
When you discover a family business in Worland that claims it has the largest work force in the State, it peaks your curiosity. I was intrigued by Bryant Honey and the beekeeping trade. Like most people I had heard of the alarming die offs faced by beekeepers over the past few years. And the fundamental importance of bees to the abundant crops enjoyed by farmers and consumers across the country. Yes, industrial revolution, chemical technology (and migrant labor) all make essential contributions, but thanks to the diligent attention of hard working beekeepers around the world, every third bite we take is attributed to the pollination of a bee from a commercial beekeeper's colony.
Meet Don Bryant and his sons, a passionate, good-humored family who have taken their share of blows in the trade. But like many beekeepers, they are hard-wired to face the challenge of adversity, pulling together to beat the odds. After spending a day with them shooting this short feature for Wyoming Chronicle, it was clear they are well armed with an appetite for innovation and shared commitment.
When I heard that Wyoming produced some of the finest honey in the country I started pestering Larry Krause of Wind River Honey, another Wyoming Beekeeper, with questions. I discovered a romantic profession that seems to cultivate a steady, attentive kind of mind, guided by deep knowledge and patience. Four generations of trial and error and hard work yields a strong intuition that comes from working with something as familiar as breathing. This is a unique livelihood; harnessing a stinging, swarming, yet brilliantly social force of nature. Tied to the rhythms of nature, beekeeping is naturally punctuated by risk and adversity. They tend an intricate piece of the agricultural world where the winds of adversity seem to blow from every direction. Beekeepers today must gauge the consequences that modern technology, chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, mono-cultures, and GMO's might have on their narrowing and specialized gene pool of livestock- the bees….
CCD (Colony Collapse Disorder) continues to inflict dire consequences on this tireless yet aging industry. Yet talking to Larry Krause and Don Bryant, you sense a different rhythm and intricacy to the world. It's hard not to want to enter the meditative spell that calls one to look at the landscape through the eyes of a bee. Their lives seem to be perpetual motion – as Larry Krause puts it, they've become Bedouin Beekeepers, as they move with their livestock across the land.
Beekeeping - Nature or Nurture???
Bees are the subject of our next Farm to Fork Wyoming episode. This is a topic that has long interested me and I know I'm not alone there. Over the past few years, I have spoken with a few Wyoming beekeepers and they are an intriguing bunch. Back in 2011 I did a short story for Wyoming Chronicle featuring the Bryant family, a Wyoming beekeeping family now in their fourth and fifth generations in Worland. They are one of the largest, if not the largest beekeepers in the State. They remain profitable thanks to pollinating crops in Northern California and then returning their hives to Wyoming and part of Nebraska each year for honey production. I had the pleasure of tasting some of their sunflower honey and I will never forget the wonderful spicy, deeply caramel flavor. I wished I'd dropped my savings on a caseload of that stuff right then and there. I would love to try that stuff on my pancakes and in my coffee!
Another especially interesting beekeeper I've met is Dennis Morrell, of Casper. For the hobbyist, Dennis has created a wonderful blog that is as useful as it is moving and delightful to explore. A Wyoming native, Dennis has a deep appreciation for the richness and challenges of Wyoming. His youthful fascination for bees led him to a job with the Krauss' - another generational family of beekeepers out of Riverton. After decades of commercial beekeeping, Dennis decided, rather than dull his love for beekeeping by continuing it commercially, he would continue as a hobbyist- sharing his knowledge mostly through his blog and occasional gatherings. There you can find information about beekeeping unique to Wyoming, read up on different hive designs and even find answers to questions about hive designs suitable for someone confined to a wheelchair. Dennis' focus is on natural beekeeping and reports in the benefits of probiotics in the health of his colony among many other well researched and tested thoughts on the subject of natural bee health.
I tried my best to persuade Dennis to be part of the coming bee episode but sadly, he declined, wishing to limit his public life to his blog… I regret his choice, but who could argue that his time is well spent on that blog; it's a revered resource amongst those who use it.
Read his meditations on natural beekeeping and I bet you'll be hooked.
I am happy to say that for the bee episode, I was so fortunate to sit down with another generational Wyoming Beekeeper, and someone countless people have referred me to on the subject of bees, Jack States - and I can see why. Jack's love for bees is so infectious. How many times he must have looked upon a comb and saw eggs, and yet still, in his 70's (I'm guessing) he jumps for joy at the sight. It's great, and with degrees in science and biology, he makes a keen study of his passion. His wife Diantha shares his love of nature and is a botanist. The two of them together have cultivated a paradise on the parcel they've retained from what was once a huge ranch in beautiful Sinks Canyon. Diantha's pollinator flower beds are astonishing and the old varieties of apple they harvest for the farmers market each summer are a marvelous testimony to the benefits of having a few happy colonies of bees around.
The Farm to Fork Wyoming - Beekeeping episode is still in the works and is slated to air in July.
In the mean time, if you are in the Lander area this weekend, April 5th, come find us at the Farm to Fork Wyoming/Wyoming PBS booth during this hugely popular Garden and Outdoor Living Expo. It is located in the Field House at Lander Valley High School from 9am - 3pm.
We'll be showing off some of Jack's beekeeping tools and a hive observation box where you can see the bees hard at work and safely under glass!
To the Power of Twelve!
We finally sat down with Bobby and Brendan Thoman for a more in-depth interview about their evolution into cattle, or as they say, their journey "Back to the Future". Cattle and livestock was their family legacy until around 1995, when a crash in the cattle market led their folks to sell the cattle operation and focus on alfalfa/hay production. Somehow, market dynamics made their hay too valuable to feed to their own cattle. They have some prime irrigated land near Riverton.
But cycles turn, and the next generation has come online with new energy and vision.
Generation 4 of the Thoman/Peternal legacy in Wyoming agriculture - Bobby and Brendan - have brought cattle back to the ranch. With sharp pencils and meticulous thinking honed by their two degrees in engineering, they have analyzed the pros and cons of cattle production today and put one foot in front of the other, or rather, perhaps the cow in front of the bull…. They are deciphering their own approach to an economically viable grass fed cattle operation, one that truly looks back to the wisdom of predecessors for guidance into the future. They have simplified the inputs - grain is eliminated and tractors and cut hay are minimized as the cows graze their way to finished weight through an elegant management of pasture, animal and nutrient. A natural system that avoids grains. So no GMO's, chemicals, hormones, fertilizers or antibiotics. They are not opposed to these things, they just trust in and are seeing the virtue of good grass fed cattle lineage, and providing quality natural elements all animals need, like trace minerals and salts and free access to varietal forage. You'll have to watch the episode - it's interesting to hear about the gains they've made with basic stuff that any of us could look to for good health..
But the best part of the day, I have to say was the incredible meal! We got fed - again. As if with a family of twelve, they didn't have enough mouths to feed, they made room for us too. Two giant, long tables were pushed together to make a 25 foot long family gathering. We got to feast on Lost Wells grass fed beef - heart, tongue and roast all beautifully cooked in a smoking grill. Wow, great flavors. We sat down with what I'm guessing was at least 14 other Thomans and listened, drop-jawed as our food turned cold, to countless, hilarious stories…. Or was it 12 versions of the same story? I'm not sure but I got totally lost in all the calf chasing, roping and escaping that resulted from one neighbors rogue rodeo bull. It seems a few calves were born to the Thoman herd after this mean and randy bull busted down a fence to get at their cows. He was a productive bull, and his offspring was just as athletic as he. Every one of the Thoman boys seemed to have a more outrageous fiasco than the last to share about tangling with one of these crazy half Brahma, half Angus calves.
We are aiming to premiere this episode in February 2014. Next shoot will be with Matt Sissman, part owner of the Middle Fork Restaurant in Lander. He expects to open a dinner restaurant by the name of 'Sego' across the street from the Middle Fork, anticipated for February some time. For this grass fed beef episode Matt plans to introduce us to beef Bresaola - an artisan dry cured beef, much like prosciutto.
If you want to explore more about the Thoman operation, they have a very intersting Lost Wells Cattle Company website, I especially appreciate the "News" link here.
The Middle Fork also has a website if you want to learn more about Matt and his partners. They try to feature local foods as much as possible, and I imagine their new restaurant will carry a similar ethic. We'll learn more when we catch up with Matt for our final shoot of the Grass Fed Beef episode.
Annie Scott shrugged off the unseasonably hard and early snowfall that buried her garden in Lander in late September.
A veteran of many years of leading others through the wilderness by foot and paddle, she's obviously in tune with the fickleness of nature. Her backyard CSA crop was already double insulated against the fallout of 4 to 6 inches of heavy September snow.
I had just bought 40 lbs of canning tomatoes from Annie the week before. While things froze outside, I chose a more controlled indoor freezing method for preserving the harvest. I remembered my grandmother telling me she liked to freeze her tomatoes whole and make her sauces and stews with them as needed, straight from the freezer - the skins slip off easily. So I have done the same, it can't get simpler than that, barring freezer failure.
But back to Annie- with two little ones, not yet in school, urban farming is her stay-at-home job. I'm thinking this may be more than full time, having produced nearly 2,000 lbs of tomatoes this year on top of supplying weekly produce for 15 shareholders, having a Thursday farmstand in her carport and being a regular at the Lander farmer's markets.
After the second snowfall hit, 6 inches deeper than the first and only a week later, Annie's Thursday carport market still had surplus offerings.
Diane Saenz and I shot a fermentation demonstration for the CSA episode after getting supplies from Annie and another local farmer, Fred Groenke.

Gopher raids aside, it's a productive existence and getting better with each new layer of compost and barricade.
At the farm during our shoot we got fed, and truthfully, that's how I keep Matt coming on these shoots. The food was, as always, unique and adventurous. We lunched on steamed green bean filled tacos, garnished with garlic scape pesto. I was foolish enough to crown mine with the insanely hot pickled jalapeno sitting on the side…. Fortunately, relief was quickly delivered in the form of a tall glass of milk (raw milk?... Perhaps...) which I downed happily.
Matt discovered Amanda's fabulous Sriracha - home made the night before. He even licked the plate clean… As we left for the day, I heard arrangements being made for a mail order delivery for more. The meat free tacos were surprisingly satisfying.
Interviewing Maggie, it became apparent that vision and the pursuit of compelling ideas is the real engine here. She and her son Holden both readily see the possibilities for growing and evolving the local food supply, even in places as small as Pinedale or Bondurant. Knowing well the limits of their growing season at 7100 ft elevation, they manage to expand and hone their crop variety year by year, finding new and novel foods common to far away cuisines and offering them along side the tried and true. Offering these foods to their CSA customers as well as chefs, stores and Farmers Market customers seems to be broadening the local palate as well as expanding their market with each season. At the end of the day at Painted Sage Farm it all seems to come down to healthy nutritious food, and educating and exposing people to what that includes is part of the equation.
We left them their cat… It only seemed right… Somehow on the way out the door, the farm cat had attached himself to Matt, paws around Matt's neck. It wasn't until we were in the car and I put into gear, when to my right, there they were - Matt and the cat seat belted and ready to go! It wasn't easy, but I felt I had to suggest the cat might ought to stay….

In the course of piecing together the Farm To Fork Dairy Herd Shares episode (premiered Sept. 3 on Wyoming PBS), it came to my attention that Queso Fresco is a cheese often linked to food born illnesses, primarily from either salmonella or listeria contamination. In Washington State, and more recently in Minnesota, small outbreaks have sent some folks to the hospital. Both times the causes were traced back to homemade Queso Fresco made with raw milk. The cheese makers were small cottage businesses, making ethnic foods for their emigrant communities.
In Washington State, Health officials realized that the cheese makers were often migrant family members seeking the traditional foods of home with no place to buy dietary staples such as Queso Fresco. Often times, as is traditional, Grandmas of the community were taking up cheese making for their families and also offering the cheese for sale within the community.
The instructions include using pasteurized milk, thus saving a step, as well as instructions for raw milk preparation.
One distinct feature of the Abuela project's Queso Fresco recipe is that it involves carefully maintaining the milk at 140 deg. F for 20 minutes, a rather low temperature, but due to the time factor, it effectively pasteurizes the milk without adversely effecting it's flavor or ability of the milk to make a good curd.
While DeeAnne's recipe, which we show in the dairy herd share episode is much simpler, and has worked for her and her family for some time now, it's worth considering the more strict approach, especially if you are sharing your cheese with children, the elderly, pregnant women or those with compromised immunity. Conversely, some feel the whole point of making their own cheese from raw milk is to consume it in it's least adulterated state. But as Michael Pollan's book "Cooked" points out in an interview with master cheese maker and Microbiologist, Sister Noella Marcellino, traditional raw milk cheese making is steeped in ritual safeguards and tradition that the casual home cheese maker is not privy to. While being a raw milk cheese maker, Sister Noella points to the wisdom of working with pasteurized milk.
The debate continues over the issues of food safety vs. access to that which most nourishes us. It is fascinating to learn about wonderful and essential milk, in all its splendid forms, thanks to the marvelous evolution of traditional foods.
Ok, let me back up and explain some confusion first. I've been hearing about, and running into the Thomans for a couple years now, even carrying on the thread of a conversation through these encounters- always lively and thought provoking- but each time, asking myself, now was that Bobby? Brendan? Huh?
Turns out there are 12 Thoman siblings! 7 of them, boys. This is a family of accomplished AG producers and they seem to all be thinking and working through the possibilities for better grazing and cattle practices, in addition to their sizable alfalfa operation.
Bobby and Brendan (and maybe 3 or 4 others, I'm still not sure) have been perfecting the art of intensive grazing and soil building while economically producing what some term "Beyond Organic" grass fed beef. One place you'll find them is selling their beef at the Riverton Farmers Market.
If you get through Riverton, you might also try some of their beef at the taco stand at the Riverton Sale Barn this summer.
Life is good in this world whether you're a farm hand found through the WWOOFer program, or a filmmaker far from the nearest hotel.
The Wallis' graciously put us up, Matt got the tent, I got a bed buried in pillows, and they fed us morning, noon and night. It's no wonder Frank has no problem keeping help around the place, and the company here is as good as the food.
Wondering what a WWOOFer is?
No Bucha, No Thank You!
No Bucha No Thank you!
No Bucha for Matt, that's for sure… He was adventurous enough to try, and honest enough to say NO.
Besides the wonderful kefirs, butter and multiple grades of cream, all prepared for a minimal service fee for the share holders, Frank makes the best Kombucha I have ever had – but if you are squeamish about the slimy little "bucha babies"(scoby), strain with your teeth. Oh, and don't sniff before you sip. Matt may never drink Kombucha again – but I will never pass it up! Sweet, fizzy, nourishing, magical stuff.
For the Farm part of the Dairy episode, we found our way to the "Center of the Universe" – EZ Rocking Ranch. There, Frank Wallis is caught in an orbit of what his sister Sue terms "garbage in, garbage out".
But the product of this cycling, spinning world is anything but garbage. Frank is producing everything from heritage hogs to Kombucha.
At the heart of this planetary system is the dairy cow.
From that center- great things flow, starting with the abundance of milk which the cows happily provide, to the beautiful deep orange yolked eggs from chickens who chase the cows and forage the farm eating fly larvae and bugs while scattering what would be a mountain of manure, far and wide.
We are soon to air our Dairy Herdshare episode where we catch up with herd share manager Frank Wallis, whose herd supplies milk to 90+ Wyoming families spread from Buffalo to Sheridan and Gillette. At the Wallis family's EZ Rocking Ranch beauty and nature's logic abound. We'll see how Frank keeps it all going, and learn something about the gratification of being an "Owner Certified" dairy. Interviews with Frank and his sister Sue Wallis, reveal how this very limited, but controversial relaxation of Wyoming's raw milk ban is affecting some local food and farm economies.
We'll also sit down with nutrition expert and educator Monica Corrado to gain insight into this most dynamic of foods - raw, whole milk - and learn why customers wish to consume this ancient food, un-pasteurized, against the warnings of the USDA. We finish the episode at Steve and DeeAnne Doyle's herd share farm in Riverton to make quick and simple queso fresco.
Working through the transcripts of an interview with Certified Nutrition Consultant Monica Corrado of Simply Being Well, I'm reminded of what a magical place the kitchen really is. It's transformative in every way - from the pot boiling on the stove top, to the conversation at the dinner table. Monica Corrado's food focus is on the process (primarily traditional) of preparing nutrient dense foods. This involves working with "whole foods" and preparing and preserving them in traditional ways which, it turns out, greatly increases their digestibility and nutritional value. We're talking about the simplest, time honored methods here - soaking, sprouting, fermenting and culturing.
Monica, thankfully, gave me a copy of her latest book: With Love from Grandma's Kitchen. Delightfully handy and clever, it lays out ten of the most basic techniques in preparing whole foods. These are the ancient underpinnings to traditional cooking and culinary craft. The book is the simplest of road maps back to true comfort foods - from beef and chicken stocks to dressings and marinades; ferments and cultures. This book has become an all-time favorite companion of mine. Spending time with this book is almost as delightful as a conversation with Monica.
So, there you have it. Monica Corrado will be one of the experts you'll meet in the coming dairy episode of Farm to Fork Wyoming. Her knowledge of food and its function in the body is so interesting to me, I'd like to revisit her for multiple stories! For the dairy episode we talked about the virtues of whole milk and, yes, she is a huge fan of raw milk. But like most anyone who touts its virtues, she does so with the caveat that it must be from healthy, grass pasture (and hay in the wintertime) fed cows on little or no grain. So we'll get into the nuts and bolts of such details this coming episode. We'll explore raw milk in Wyoming – at once loved and vilified, but also exotic and essential - from the perspective of those who love it.
Next week Matt Wright, our shooter/editor, and I will be traveling to the EZ Rocking Ranch north of Recluse to meet herd share manager Frank Wallis and some of his herd share owners, and we'll see how he gets it all done. So check back for updates on that trip.
Frank Wallis' Ranch website - so much going on there!
And if you would like to read up on the history of milk through the ages and it's transformation from a common local food into an institutionalized, stabilized mainstream product, Milk: The Surprising Story of Milk Through The Ages, by Anne Mendelson, is a great read.
Here's a link to where you can find the book online, and, if you are a fan of Fresh Air - with Terry Gross, as I am, here's an interview with author Anne Mendelson. But better yet, enjoy the book; it's a fascinating read - with recipes to boot!
Where to Begin? Dairy of course!
It's hard to choose amongst so many great Wyoming stories! But with summer getting underway and some great feedback on our pilot episode of Farm to Fork Wyoming, it is time to plot a course and choose the stories for season one.
Thanks to Maggie McAllister for another great LocalFest 2013 in Pinedale back in May, the second episode of Farm to Fork Wyoming was a no brainer.
As organizer of Sublette County's annual LocalFest, Maggie brought in Sally Fallon Morrell, a rather famous and tireless advocate for nutrient dense traditional foods.
But back to the planning of Farm to Fork Wyoming… Along with a wonderful Banquet and a long, very thought provoking 3 hour presentation by Sally, the LocalFest was abundant with workshops on fermentation, soil health, CSA's and, in my opinion, one of the most radical developments in Wyoming's Local food economy – Herd Shares.
Now that that language has been added to the food safety regulations in the past year, small farmers have the opportunity to offer raw milk to those who purchase a share in their dairy herds. Thus, these small, biodynamic farm operations have another revenue stream to add to their operation (and viability).
So there's our next episode – Emerging herd share operations in Wyoming, we'll visit a couple of these small farms, learn a bit about what has created such a pent up demand for this most wholesome of foods, how they are making it work (and getting all the work done!) and we'll finish the show with a peek into the ancient craft of taking milk through the culturing process to become a beloved cheese.
Check back for more developments. Other stories on the radar range from Beekeeping to Community Supported Agriculture (or CSA's) and the satisfaction of raising grass-fed beef on perennial grasses for the local market.

PUERTO VALLARTA, Mexico – Gunmen rushed into a trendy Puerto Vallarta restaurant and kidnapped multiple people around 1 a.m. Monday, according to Mexican officials.
The kidnapping happened at upscale restaurant La Leche in an area of the coastal city frequented regularly by tourists.
Jalisco officials said they are looking for multiple suspects who drove up in a Toyota Tacoma truck and a Chevrolet Suburban.
Investigators from the attorney general's office found a Dodge Challenger, Jeep Limited, Land Rover, Cadillac Escalade and a Honda CRV abandoned at the scene. It's not yet clear whether or not the cars belonged to the victims.
Authorities are currently examining surveillance footage and other evidence collected at the scene. They have not released the number of people kidnapped nor their identities.
According to Univision, at least 10 people were kidnapped.
Jalisco Gov. Aristoteles Sandoval issued a statement on Twitter.
The acts that happened in the early morning in Puerto Vallarta cannot be permitted nor tolerated. I have instructed the State Attorney General to use all resources available to find out what happened in this serious incident. There is full cooperation between the Mexican Government and the municipality to find the victims and capture those responsible. To the residents and tourists in Puerto Vallarta, I'm informing you that we have reinforced security so your activities can return to normal.

Garry's Mod is developed by the original makers Facepunch studios and published worldwide by the Valve Corporation. Known more popularly by its abbreviated form GMods, this is a sandbox physics game that is an extended version of the original 2006 game.
The main theme of the game revolves around the laws of physics. This game is a physics sandbox game with successive levels available for the users to complete and progress through. The graphics and visuals of the game are very responsive. There are an array of characters that are available for the players to explore and choose from to enjoy gameplay. You have to play in correlation to laws of physics. More importantly you have to continue to unlock many different powers as you progress through the game that will provide support to the players.
The game can be played in both single player and multiple player mode. The game requires you to be connected to the internet at all times in order for the users to enjoy the game. However, if you choose to download the game to your PC (option only for Windows users) you can surely enjoy the game on a single player mode. To play the game on multiplayer mode, you need to invite your friends online through synced social media accounts. There are many contests that are available for users to engage.
The compatibility of the game with varying gaming console platforms is questionable. The game claims to work for Linux users, Xbox players and the Windows OS gaming consoles.
The Windows version of the Garry's Mod game was released in 2004.
The OS X version of the game was released in 2010.
The Linux compatible version of game was released in 2013.
If you are looking to download the game, you can only get a direct Garry's mod torrent download link for free for the PC. No other device will be able to support the downloaded version of the game. The downloaded version is not complete and will have a few levels/stages locked that are only unlocked on premium edition.

My laboratory works on understanding the structural and functional features of heparan sulfate proteoglycans in the context of cytokine and morphogen signaling in various types of stem cells. Current efforts are focused on determining how abnormal heparan sulfates accumulated in mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS-I; Hurler syndrome) contribute to neurological abnormalities, and testing if intra-cerebroventricular stem cell transplantation will ameliorate neuropathology and behavioral abnormalities in an immunodeficient mouse model of MPS-I.

David Torrance: Has the SNP gifted the centre ground to Davidson's Tories?
FOR some reason, the Scottish National Party has never been much interested in its history or philosophy. Its members tend to live in the here and now – not to mention the future – and tend not to dwell on past events or the sort of intellectual debates that preoccupy Labourites, Liberals and even Conservatives.
This, I thought, was a pretty serviceable definition of what the SNP is all about, and also a refreshingly honest one, although I'd question whether its neoliberal (ie tax cutting) strain is all that "wee". Former leader Alex Salmond certainly belongs in that camp, as does his former adviser Andrew Wilson, who is currently putting the finishing touches to his Growth Commission report on the economic case for independence.
Challenged as to whether this meant the SNP was Blairite, she replied: "Absolutely not." Rather it was an "inclusive party with a civic nationalism that puts nation first". Given that Ms Black was famously elected on the basis that Labour had left her rather than the other way around, one suspects she'd also reject the New Labour comparison.
Yet Ms Black's description of an internal debate between left and right wingers is self-evidently Blairite, not least the idea that this intellectual joust then produces policies that are "pretty digestible for most people". Salmond-era advisers used to speak of the SNP's "big tent" approach, and indeed that governed Nationalist policy making and campaigning for much of the last decade.
It's also nothing new. Remarkably little has been made of the fact that the SNP was formed in 1934 through a merger of left and right-wing nationalist parties, the National Party of Scotland and the Scottish (Self-Government) Party respectively. The latter comprised former Conservatives (or Unionists) like the lawyer Andrew Dewar Gibb and the Duke of Montrose, both of whom passionately believed in Home Rule but had little truck with the movement's more romantic elements.
And, after 1934, they brought to their new party some right-wing thinking that lingered for a while, chiefly support for the British Empire, prejudice towards Scotland's Irish population and suspicion of too much government. Right up to the 1950s, for example, the SNP wasn't that keen on the post-war Welfare State the party now deifies, for it saw an ever-expanding state diminishing the rights of the individual.
Most of that Conservative strain, of course, dissipated over time, giving way – ironically – to a vehement anti-Toryism that ended up masking the SNP's co-option of Thatcherite orthodoxy from the late 1980s onwards, that "wee string of neoliberalism" Ms Black referred to in her interview. I'm thinking here of Mr Salmond's unquestioning support for the Royal Bank of Scotland during its hubristic expansion, as well as his long-standing belief in cutting Corporation Tax.
Until a few months ago, Nicola Sturgeon had more or less maintained the left-right balance of her predecessor, although the Corporation Tax pledge was downgraded rhetorically. Yet with September's Programme for Government and last week's Draft Budget, there's been a modest shift to the left, not least in terms of fiscal policy.
And the SNP's "neoliberal" wing isn't at all happy about it. Apparently, Mr Salmond thinks the income tax policy is ill-advised, while many in the pro-business camp worry that increasing income tax, however modestly, sends out completely the wrong message, especially in the context of sluggish growth forecasts. They're not very happy about independent schools having to pay more in business rates either.
Something has clearly changed Ms Sturgeon's mind between then and last week. And strategically, this could be dangerous. The reason (argue those on the right) the SNP hoovered up so many votes in 2011 and 2015 is because they governed from the centre, offering something to everyone. Now it looks as though the SNP has written off small "c" conservative Scots and thinks the only fight worth having is with the Labour Party.
That might be true, but what if it has over-reacted to Labour's modest recovery? What if Jeremy Corbyn has peaked and Richard Leonard never quite finds his fight? Under that scenario, the SNP will have prematurely vacated the centre ground just as Ruth Davidson's moderate Scottish Toryism is getting into its stride. Next year, in other words, could be very interesting.


Okay, another photowalk with my photobuddy, Dara. Again, we're keeping each other motivated to keep shooting photos at least once a month – even when life conspires to keep us from it!
On this July day, we started off at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, then wandered over to the garden in the Stowers Institute. It was a bit cloudy and muggy, but as always, it was great to be out shooting pics!
Walking down the pathway at the Nelson, heading to Brush Creek.
I like the softness of this.
And the shapes and colors here.
Trying to shoot more verticals!
I think there's a nice mix of textures and shapes here. There are several in the yellow flower alone (plus the little critter), and then the green buds.
And finally, these are the same flowers from the first pic, just a bit different angle, which meant different colors all around.

Pandit Indramani Ghansyal Explains What To Donate On This Day

Anna daan or crop/food donation is considered the highest form of charity in Hinduism.
A lot of people celebrate the festival every year by performing charity, bathing in holy rivers, reciting prayers, and indulging in other spiritual practices.
The festival of Makar Sankranti holds great importance in Hinduism. And people, across the country, celebrate it with a lot of vigour. According to astrology, the sun transits from Sagittarius to Capricorn, which is why the festival is known as 'Makar' Sankranti. This year, Sankranti will fall on January 15.
Lord Surya (the Sun God) is worshipped on this day. A lot of people celebrate the festival every year by performing charity, bathing in holy rivers, reciting prayers, and indulging in other spiritual practices. It is believed that performing these rituals and practices brings prosperity to one's family. Many also perform donations on the day of Makar Sankranti. So, Pandit Indramani Ghansyal has now shed some light on which items can be donated on Makar Sankranti:
Anna daan or crop/food donation is considered the highest form of charity in Hinduism. And the donation of khichdi holds great prominence on Makar Sankranti. But make sure that the khichdi is made of rice and black urad dal.
On Makar Sankranti, food items made of black sesame seeds should be offered to Lord Surya, Lord Vishnu and Lord Shani. Makar Sankranti is also known as Til Sankranti for this reason. The donation of black sesame seeds is believed to eliminate bad luck from one's life.
It is said that the donation of jaggery on Makar Sankranti helps please three planets – Guru, Shukra and Shani. These planets shower one with good fortune because of jaggery donation.
Hindu scriptures suggest that the donation of salt on Makar Sankranti helps in destroying negative energy. Therefore, salt donation also holds great importance in this festival.
Woollen clothes
Makar Sankranti is a winter festival. It is believed that donating clothes eliminates problems caused by Shani and Rahu from a person's horoscope. Therefore, donating woollen clothes on Sankranti can work wonders for you.
It is suggested that people offer oil to Lord Shani on Makar Sankranti. This practice is considered to be highly auspicious in Hinduism.
Apart from them, some of the other donation items include peanuts, fodder for animals, and lamps, to name a few.

A: You need to use one of the scale types provided with ImageView class. How do you handle if the image is way larger than the screen, say taken from a DSLR at 3000x3000 resolution? What happens if the image is too small?
Have a look at the documentation for ImageView.ScaleType:

Last year I reviewed the Third Rail battery case for the iPhone 4, since then I have upgraded to an iPhone 5 and was interested in trying out another battery case to see if it would be any better. I was offered a prototype of the iKit NuCharge which has currently raised almost double it's funding goal on Kickstarter, and I have been using it for the past week.
The NuCharge uses a removable battery that connects to a special case that you keep on your phone permanently. The battery is charged via USB either from your computer or by switching the cables and connecting it to your iPhone's charger. A series of blue lights down the battery's side indicate it's charge level.
Once fully charged, the battery can fully recharge your iPhone's battery or top it up, as necessary. This is done by unhooking a short lightning cable from the bottom of the battery and plugging it into your phone's socket.
This method means that the case doesn't have to sit over the bottom of your phone, leaving the speaker's and headphone jack fully accessible, although it's not the most streamlined of designs. The battery design also incorporates a hole that leaves the camera and flash fully operational whilst it is attached, meaning that your phone is fully functional whilst charging.
Once attached to the phone via the lightning cable a button on the side of the battery switches the power supply on and off, although why you would keep the slightly cumbersome cable attached to your phone and not stored inside its neat compartment if you weren't actively charging is a mystery to me.
The battery, although lightweight for its size (the kit weighs less than the Mophie Juice Pack at just 58g) does significantly increase the weight of the phone if left attached. Because of this the battery is removable from the case and a range of thin back covers will be available in different colors and styles.
This solves one of the biggest problems I had when reviewing the Third Rail battery case which left the battery ports exposed on the back of the case when the battery itself was not attached. This was, if nothing else, ugly. The NuCharge thin backs convert the case into a standard fashion case when you don't need the battery and keep the phone very slim at only 11mm deep. For comparison the iPhone 5 is 7.6mm deep by itself and 9mm deep with my other basic case attached. Adding the battery to the NuCharge case increases the depth to 17mm. The length and width of the phone are only increased by a millimeter or so,meaning that even with the battery attached the phone still fits comfortably inside my jeans pockets.
Another useful feature of the NuCharge is the kickstand built into the rear of the battery allowing you to easily prop your phone up to watch videos.
Some complaints have been made that the stand only works in landscape mode. However as most viewing is done in this mode, hopefully it will not be a problem the majority of the time. The stand on my prototype is made of a rather thin plastic that feels extremely fragile but as a result of feedback from early reviews the company has recently announced that the final product will use a much stronger aluminium stand instead.
Even with its comparatively flimsy plastic design I have found the kickstand to be very useful, propping up my phone so I can watch the latest episode of The Flog whilst I grab a quick lunch.
Overall, the iKit NuCharge is a brilliant battery case that solves many of the problems found in other designs and adds in some other helpful features as well.
I don't think much of the brushed silver fashion back that came supplied with my prototype (I've actually noticed some scratches on it after just a week) but once the full range of backs is available, I'm sure I'll be able to find one that suits my style more. The NuCharge Kickstarter campaign has less than a week left to run and products are set to ship in April, so if you'd like to pre-order a NuCharge at the discounted pledge rates now's the time to do it, there's even a couple of Kickstarter exclusive covers available.
NuCharge kits start at $59 for Kickstarter pledges (retail will be from $79) so they're not the cheapest cases available, although comfortably close to the price point for most other iPhone 5 battery cases. If you use your phone a lot and spend much of your day away from chargers, then that's probably a bargain for a case that manages to encompass functionality with generally pleasing aesthetics. Otherwise it may be a little steep for an occasional recharge on the go.
A prototype iKit NuCharge case was provided free for this review.


"Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships," said Michael Jordan, one of the world's greatest basketball players, who played in some of the world's most successful sporting teams.
The challenge for leaders is how to harness the strengths of a team – both individual and collective – to improve performance and drive growth.
"The foundation of every great team is a direction that energises, orients, and engages its members," write Martine Haas and Mark Mortensen in HBR article The Secrets of Great Teamwork.
A vision that makes clear the team's purpose and direction, and individuals' roles and responsibilities within it, is a prerequisite of any high-performance team, says Stacey Ashley FCPA, author of The New Leader. A shared vision helps create a group whose members have "the same overarching agenda" and provides a path forward when navigating competing priorities.
Leaders should make explicit their desire that team members take risks, raise mistakes and question things they don't understand, says Morley. Provide a space for people to speak openly, let others lead the conversation and respond positively when people share their thoughts and observations, she advises.
In her book Lead Like A Coach, Morley identifies two dominant models of leadership: command-and-control and coaching. Leaders who coach are happy to consult, collaborate and delegate, which engenders trust – necessary to any high-functioning team.
Coaching requires leaders to "ask and answer" rather than tell, which can be challenging for those who are accustomed to fulfilling the role of expert.
"A coaching approach doesn't have a leader knowing all of the answers and knowing what needs to be done, it's about opening up opportunities for everybody else to contribute," she says.
A better approach is to frame the feedback in a positive way, instead of offering a critique of what didn't work.
"That's going to change the whole tone of the conversation," says Ashley, who has developed a simple script to deliver constructive feedback.
"The first question to ask is: 'What went well?'," she says. "It could be 'I turned up to the meeting on time' – maybe that's the only thing, but that's OK as a positive starting point to the feedback conversation." The goal, she says, is to encourage a positive and resourceful mindset.
Next, instead of asking 'what didn't go well?' – which pushes the discussion into negative territory – ask the team member to finish the sentence: 'it would have even better if…'. The person offering feedback can share insights using the same format. Follow up by asking how they can use the feedback to improve performance in the future.
Developing team members' skills and potential so that they are more capable, engaged and self-reliant – an inherent part of coaching – is crucial to improving performance.
A commitment to development contributes to the culture of continuous learning that characterises high-performance teams. High performing teams evolve, they don't plateau," says Ashley. There's a collective sense that "we're always striving," she says.


Oscar season is here and Ryan Coogler's superhero Black Panther appears to be a strong contender.
Many films are waiting to get nominated for the forthcoming Oscars, and "Black Panther" is one of them. It appears to be a favorite in the category of best picture. This is not surprising, because it held on to the No. 1 spot at the US box office for five straight weeks. Right now, this action-packed movie is poised to become the first comic book film to get a nomination for best picture. And I think it will get nominated.
The New Zealand Herald reports that "Black Panther" is a special type of film and has exceeded expectations with more than $1.3 billion in ticket sales.
It is now vying for the best picture award and is in the company of films like "Gurus of Gold," "A Star Is Born," ''Roma," ''Green Book," and "The Favourite."
The film "Black Panther" may vie for multiple awards at the Oscars, in addition to being the best film. The costume design by Ruth Carter is impressive, as is the cinematography of Rachel Morrison. Last year, she was the first woman ever to be nominated in the category. Then there is the production design of Hannah Beachler.
Ryan Coogler not only directed the film but also joined Robert Cole to write the script. Obviously, each of them played a major role to ensure the success of the final product, which is now waiting for the ultimate recognition.
As far as Ryan Coogler is concerned, "Black Panther" was something personal for him. He wanted to find his connection to Africa and, sort of, go back to his roots.
In fact, while developing the script, he made several trips to African countries where he discovered the Kingdom of Lesotho. It was the inspiration to create Wakanda, where the action happens.
According to Indie Wire, 32-year-old Ryan Coogler was serious about his assignment in "Black Panther" and with a budget of $200 million, the film went on to make $1.3 billion in the worldwide box office. That in itself is remarkable. Coogler deserves recognition for treading a new path and the movie could spring a surprise at the Oscars.
The story of "Black Panther" is about superhero T'Challa (Chadwick Boseman). He is the king of Wakanda, depicted as a wealthy and technologically superior kingdom. Wakanda is also not fake, in my opinion. There are women warriors portrayed by Angela Bassett, Lupita Nyong'o, and Danai Gurira. T'Challa is threatened by Killmonger, who is a vengeful cousin portrayed by Michael B. Jordan.

Welcome to the CarolinaPreps.com Stadium Project
Hello NC High School Football Fans,
This is a collection of high-resolution, and high-quality photos taken at nearly every high school football stadium across the Tarheel State, with some exceptions being a few newer schools. A first of its kind undertaking, the Stadium Project began in 2006 with an unplanned visit to D.H. Conley High School in Greenville, while traveling down state route 43 towards the coast for vacation, but since then, this yearly tour has taken me on adventures through all 100 counties, and to nearly every small town in our state. This journey has allowed me to make new friends, eat at some incredible small-town BBQ and hamburger joints, and most importantly, has allowed me to showcase hundreds of schools and their facilities through these photos.
While the primary objective has always been to bring you, the fans, these extraordinary images, it's become a labor of love to me. While I typically only take photos during the summer months, when the grass is green, I've thoroughly enjoyed the scenic drives through our backroads, from the mountains to the coast, and through it all, promoting the state that I love.
It's no secret that I look forward to the tour each year. It's got to the point now where I return to schools years later just to take new photos, especially when schools make major upgrades to their facilities, or whenever I upgrade my own cameras, just so I can bring you better photos. As this project has evolved, I've become quite the perfectionist, and I truly want these images to be the best that they can be, so it puts forth a good showing for the schools on display.
Please enjoy these photos, and share them with your friends, especially those that enjoy High School Football. It's been my honor to go out and bring them to you, and I hope they can be enjoyed for generations to come

Q: WebView Disable DoubleTap I am developing an android application and successfully disabled zoom-in, zoom-out by swiping. But I have failed to disable double tap zooming.
Is there an obvious function to use?
Thanks.
Here is my code,
webview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webview.getSettings().setLoadWithOverviewMode(true);
webview.getSettings().setUseWideViewPort(true);
webview.getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(false);
webview.getSettings().setDisplayZoomControls(false);
webview.getSettings().setSupportZoom(false);
webview.setLayerType(View.LAYER_TYPE_SOFTWARE, null);
webview.loadUrl(url1);

A: add this
webView.getSettings().setUseWideViewPort(false);

A: Unfortunately, it's a "feature" in WebView in pre-KitKat versions of Android, that double tap can be explicitly disabled only by turning off UseWideViewPort setting.
There are workarounds that based on "stealing" double tap events from WebView described in WebView getting rid of double tap zoom. and How to disable doubletap zoom in android webview?
