Additional courses sanctioned for PAU
Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), the supreme body for agricultural research in India, has sanctioned five summer/winter schools and short courses for Punjab Agricultural University during 2007-08. A communication from the Assistant Director General, Human Resource Development, addressed to the vice-chancellor of the university, states that approval has been given for one winter school, three summer schools and one short course. The courses will focus on relevant topics of current needs in agricultural research, food standards and clothing designs. The summer/winter schools are of 21 days, and the short courses of 10 days. One summer school on 'Modeling of climate change and crop yields' has been allotted to Dr RK Mahey, head of the Department of Agronomy, Agrometeorology and Forestry.
Dressed to learn
CORNELIUS B rianna Garcia is in her bedroom, trying on what she'll wear the first day of school: khaki-colored cotton capris, white blouse, white knee socks, black Mary Janes. The third-grader knows her outfit is bland, but she'll fit in. This school year, which starts next week, all 400 students at Cornelius Elementary School are required to wear uniforms -- simple clothing in khaki, white and navy blue. It's a one-year pilot project, rare for Washington County public schools, that parents hope will divert attention away from designer clothing and toward learning. It's also an attempt to remove poverty's stigma at a school where 93 percent of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunches. If everybody dresses the same, says Principal Perla Rodriguez, no students will feel socially rejected because their clothing isn't trendy.
Heat levels posing threat
The National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory as temperatures in the upper 90s will continue sweating the brows of many in southcentral Kentucky, as well as pushing up electrical demand from local utility providers.Heat index readings are expected to be between 103 and 108 in the afternoon, according to the NWS, and keeping safe in the heat is about common sense, according to local experts.Designer and master gardener John Bennett has enough experience in the landscaping industry to know when to stop working - it's when he starts to feel sick because of the heat.“You've just got to know your limits, and when you know you can get sick like that, you just go home," Bennett said.Bennett, who has worked for Nature's Touch Landscaping and Design for 17 years, said he plays it smart and goes to work earlier on hot days when temperatures are cooler - clocking in from 6 a.m.

Dr Pita Sharples: the concept of one in ten
Tena tatou katoa. I’ve been wondering, what is it with the concept of one in ten? One in ten New Zealanders live in Australia - making up the largest concentration of New Zealanders in any overseas country. One in ten European families - and one in four Māori families - fell behind on at least one bill for power, gas or water in 2004, according to the Living Standards Survey. .
