Charlotte City Council could have new look in 2013
Send this story to a friend
Pause for a quick breather from the 2014 campaign. You know, the election season when Stephen Colbert vies for a full term in the Senate, Kay Hagan battles Thom Tillis and Phil Berger in North Carolina and Lindsey Graham and Nikki Haley face what are expected to be serious challenges to their current positions.
And that, of course, only represents the Carolinas. (Tillis and Berger haven’t declared their intentions, but why wait? And once Colbert figures out the official Palmetto State beverage, he’ll be a lock. But I digress.) Good thing no one felt exhausted by the 2012 campaign.
First, though, local voters must reckon with a 2013 city campaign. Mayor Anthony Foxx and all 11 members of City Council will be on the ballot. Based on recent conversation, and the lingering budget fight over the streetcar, Democrats could be re-shuffling the political deck. Freshman council members Claire Fallon and Beth Pickering have frustrated Foxx, a fellow Democrat, by opposing the inclusion of $119 million for a 2.5-mile streetcar segment in the Capital Investment Plan, known as the CIP.
Last week, Fallon told Fox affiliate WCCB the mayor is trying to pit people against people within the same party, a reference to the mayor’s interest in replacing her and Pickering on council next year.
“Mayor Foxx is disappointed that some members of City Council would rather talk to the media than to him and one another about how best to reach consensus on a capital plan that moves Charlotte forward,” a spokesman for the mayor said in a written statement. “As the Mayor stated in his letter to Council on November 26, his sole focus at this point is finding a plan that seven or more Council members support — with or without the streetcar.”

The italian snack and the snack around the world.
Article from alimentipedia.it
What do young and old people eat for a snack in Italy and around the world?
Snack is usually a light meal consumed mainly by children between the lunch and dinner.
Maybe not everybody knows that the word “snack” comes from Latin and means “things to deserve”. In effect the parents often still use today to tell children that if do not behave well the child can not have a snack or can only have a less welcome snack, just as punishment.
What snacks are consumed around the world?
In Chile, the snack consists of a mini meal of local products. It is ideal not only as an afternoon snack but also as a dinner after a rich lunch. Is an informal moment in Chile in which the family gather around the table to eat with savory foods, sandwiches, avocado fresh or spreaded on a bread slice. At the end of the snack time usualy dulce de leche and biscuits are eaten.
The traditional Indian snack is called “sweet lassi” and is a refreshing drink made of yoghurt, water and fruit. The lassi is also drunk during meals in India but in savory version.
In the United States of America
The traditional American snack is made with jam and peanut butter with which the sandwiches are stuffed.
During snack time in Australia people use to drink “high tea” as an accompaniment to a snack of chicken and roast beef sandwiches, sweet meringues, peaches, berries and coconut jams.
“Oyatsu” are the sweet snacks consumed in Japan typically around three in the afternoon. Among other foods that are commonly eaten by children after school there are: a cake made with water chestnuts, waffles accompanied by jams, and the classic Japanese nigiri and even savory dishes such as ramen crab.
in West Africa
The snack in West Africa is based mainly on fried products which are sold at any time of day on the streets. You may find bananas in vanilla batter, the puff puff, in the picture, especially in Nigeria, that are similar to the italian carnival pancakes or other typical fried donuts.
But what is the traditional Italian snack? Until a few decades ago the answer might be simple, bread butter and sugar in the North of Italy and bread seasoned with extra virgin olive oil in the South of Italy. This was the snack that our grandparents used to consume: cheap, energetic and healthful. Today is a bit more difficult to identify the typical Italian snack. It can range from fresh fruit and yogurt, biscuits, sweetnesses of all kinds, various snacks and the classic bread with Nutella.

The MSI NX8600GT Twin Turbo videocard is built with
overclockers in mind, coming pre-overclocked from the factory to 600MHz GPU /
1600MHz memory. The built in Twin Turbo feature bumps those clock
speeds up conservatively, to 620MHz GPU / 1512MHz shader / 1600MHz memory.
Let's be frank, that's nice for a novice, but we can overclock further than this!
Let's really see how far the MSI NX8600GT Twin Turbo videocard can handle being
overclocked when it's installed into an Asus M2-CROSSHAIR motherboard with an AMD Athlon64 FX-62 processor.
Starting with the GeForce 8600GT core first, and with the Twin Turbo feature turned off, it is clocked at 600 MHz. Going up in 5 MHz increments, it was clear that the GeForce 8600GT GPU was a solid overclocker. The core easily cracked the 700 MHz mark and we settled down on a speed of 712 MHz!
Next up was the 256MB of GDDR3. Starting at 1600 MHz, the clock frequency was overclocked in 20 MHz jumps. I didn't expect too much from the memory as it's already pretty heavily overclocked from the reference card default of 1400MHz. The memory cracked the 1700 MHz mark like it was nothing, and topped out at 1754 MHz. Anything higher and RivaTuner would complain about the videocard failing the driver overclocking test.
So, from the pre-overclocked starting point PCSTATS pushed the MSI NX8600GT Twin Turbo videocard to 712MHz GPU / 1754MHz memory. Not bad for a mainstream videocard, not bad at all!
Prelude to BenchmarksThe details of how the MSI NX8600GT Twin Turbo test system
was configured for benchmarking; the specific hardware, software drivers, operating
system and benchmark versions are indicated below. In the second column
are the general specs for the reference platforms this nVIDIA
GeForce 8600GT 256MB based videocard is to be compared against. Please take a
moment to look over PCSTATS test system configurations before moving on to
the individual benchmark results on the next page. Testing was done with
Twin Turbo disabled because the manual overclocking results provided better overall results.

Dec 31, 2020 | Your Self
My Word for 2021 (plus inspiration to help you discover yours)
When I chose Home as my word of the year for 2020, I had no idea what that word would hold in store for me…
A pandemic that demanded I be home while also necessitating the cancellation of three sold-out international retreats that would have kept me abroad for nearly two months of last year;
Becoming certified as a kundalini yoga instructor which has left me feeling more at home in my body than I’ve ever known;
Along with the purchase of our first home which has left me wanting to be nowhere other than at home decorating, arranging and gardening;
To say, my relationship with my word of the year took on new meaning would be putting it lightly.
I have been choosing a word of the year for many years now. I am excited to share with you the word I’ve chosen for 2021, it’s a word that has been speaking to me for the past several weeks. It’s a word that I’ve been seeing on social media platforms and one I’ve been hearing myself speak in conversations. But before I do, I’m excited to share with you my process for choosing my word of the year so you can choose yours.
Choosing a word of the year is a powerful tool to bring clarity and direction to the experience of life you want to create more of.
Your word helps you weigh decisions against the experience and way of life you’re cultivating.
Don’t be mistaken, your word of the year does not represent something that is wrong, broken, or needs to be fixed about you.
Your word represents the next expression of yourself that you wish to unlock and unbound.
I have been spending a lot of time journaling these past weeks and this year’s word has been both particularly easy to identify while also just uncomfortable enough to share, such that I know it is my next level of self-expression.
If you’re struggling with calling in your word of the year, here are a couple of questions to reflect on in your journal…
What is the next way of being that you wish to step into?
What is the new experience of life that you wish to cultivate in 2021?
Who would you like to celebrate yourself for becoming this year?
If your word doesn’t speak to you from your journal, consider setting aside some time to create a vision board for the new year, and see what word or experience the images, colors, words, hues, and emotions evoke in you.
So, without further ado, my word of the year is pleasure.
Pleasure is the state or feeling of enjoyment or satisfaction derived from what is to one’s liking; gratification; delight; worldly or frivolous enjoyment. The pursuit of pleasure is a cause or source of enjoyment or delight.
And the way I will apply my word of the year is that it will serve as a daily compass check…
Are the business investments I’m making bringing me pleasure?
What are the practices in my morning routine that bring me the most pleasure?
Are the people I’m surrounding myself with bringing me pleasure and a sense of delight?
What are the business decisions that will enhance my experience of pleasure?
What are the ways in which I contribute and give back that will most greatly enhance my experience of pleasure?
How does a woman focused on pleasure dress herself? Save her money? Contribute to her community? Serve as a role model for her nieces and nephews? Love on her family, friends and clients?
And that is my word of the year, because I know that if I focus on cultivating more pleasure in my life, I am going to be blown away by the permission I give myself to be courageous in my business, in my relationships, and in my own pursuit of being an unbounded woman, partner, coach, daughter, aunt, friend, sister, leader, and member of my community.
Now, I want to hear from you! Head on over to Instagram @unboundedpotential, message me on Facebook, or hit reply to this email and share with me your word. I want to hold that intention for you to celebrate the woman you want to become this year.

U-bolts, radiator and engine installation
Later, Brian Eberly brought a pizza (thanks, Brian) and Glen Marsh offered to help so we went to work on the Jenny. The engine bearer u-bolts were brazed first.
After they were brazed, the bead blaster took off all the slag.
And the bolts were given a coat of primer paint. They will be painted black later.
Here is how the u-bolt fits.
While I was doing that, Brian started working on the brackets which go underneath the engine bearers.
Bent 90 degrees.
Here they are.
And here is where they will go.
Before Station 3 cross brace, the fuel tank cradle and Brian's brackets are drilled (they all go together) I wanted to install the engine one last time to make sure everything fit.
While I was doing that, Glen cut the flange off the radiator. I noticed that the flange was built too far towards the inside. The flange is supposed to offer support to the sheet metal side pieces. Instead of a 1/16 in. gap, there was a 1/4 in gap.
The radiator fit OK. We noticed another problem. The water tank at the top of the radiator was too wide. I did not have a drawing for the Hisso radiator so I used the OX-5 radiator drawing as a starting point, studied a bunch of old photographs, and took a guess. I made the water tank the same size as the OX-5. But the cylinder banks of the Hisso touch the sides so I'll have to shorten the tank.
But for now, the radiator fit fine enough for the purpose at hand - to drill the above mentioned holes.
Couldn't resist fitting the original Jenny exhaust!
Thought this was a cool picture.


My wife and I recently stopped into the corner bar and grill for dinner. This being Chicago, the bartender immediately engaged us in a political conversation.
“You live around here? I’m gonna to run for alderman.”
He explained his philosophy, which sounded fine, then added what he believed would close the deal:
“…and I won’t accept a salary.”
It’s a thing. Would-be public servants grandly announce they won’t accept payment from taxpayers. They will work for us “for free.”
This promise is intended to win public trust and admiration, though anyone familiar with the history of Illinois politicians knows official compensation is mere tip money for those who take graft seriously.
A current list of high-profile government employees claiming to be doing taxpayers a favor by working for free includes President Donald Trump, First Daughter, Ivanka Trump, First Son-in-law, Jared Kushner, US Education Secretary Betsy DeVos and, closer to home, soon to be ex-Illinois Governor, Bruce Rauner.
We can add to the list the next governor of Illinois.
Gov.-elect J.B. Pritzker, a billionaire who pumped a record $171.5 million of his personal fortune into his winning campaign for Illinois governor, will forgo his state salary, his staff said.
Considering state government’s annual spending is nearly $38.5 billion, the $177,412 annual salary Illinois pays its governors is a drop in the bucket. But the Hyatt hotel heir takes office next year facing steep financial challenges — the state’s sitting on at least $7.5 billion in unpaid bills — and refusing a salary sends a message to lawmakers and voters as he starts addressing them.
The only good news about Rauner’s bad governing is that we got it for free. He didn’t accept his governor’s salary.
Remember, the state owes $130 billion borrowed from the state pension systems and expects to take in $36.7 billion, so the impact of the governor’s refusal of payment is infinitesimal.
With J.B. Pritzker, we’re again getting a governor “free of charge.” Will he be better? He’d almost have to be. But like Rauner four years ago, he has no record. We’ll have to see.
Sadly, this idea of getting a public servant “at no cost you YOU!” is likely to become more popular. That’s bad for democracy.
In my years working for teachers and education support employees, I often heard from school board members who were focused exclusively on taxpayers while paying lip service to student needs. These folks balked at the notion school employees should be treated as professionals, suggesting teaching is a “calling,” and therefore not an activity for which the teacher’s education, training and experience should be fairly compensated.
That was wrong. It is always wrong. If you want qualified, competent people who care enough to do their very best and take on important responsibilities, you have to pay them. You should want to pay them.
We shouldn’t let the Bruce Rauner disaster obscure the fact that delivering important public service is real work, deserving of fair compensation.
If J.B. Pritzker can get Illinois on the right track, he will be worth far more than the salary we aren’t paying him.
Despite the corruption and incompetence, about 25 percent of American voters remain loyal to Donald Trump, proving the producers of The Apprentice did a great job creating his undeserved reputation as a tough, decisive, successful businessman.

Who Is Dolly Parton’s Best Friend?
Dolly Parton is a singer, a songwriter, an actor, and an author who has never been shy when speaking about things like her childhood and her career. But when it comes to the people in Parton’s life, fans don’t know much about her husband or her best friend.
Here’s more on the man the Queen of Country has been married to for over 50 years and the woman she been best friends with even longer.
Who is Dolly Parton’s husband?
Despite being married to one of the biggest country music stars in the world Parton’s husband, Carl Dean, has managed to stay out of the spotlight.
The pair met in 1964 outside a laundromat in Nashville. “My first thought was ‘I’m gonna marry that girl,’” Dean said (per Entertainment Tonight) of their initial encounter.
They began dating and tied the knot two years later.
The “Jolene” artist spoke about her hubby and their marriage on Dan Wootton’s podcast. “It’s a true love story… He’s crazy. He’s funny. I think laughter has been a big part of our relationship,” Parton revealed. “We both have a lot of fun. We’re not in the same business — he doesn’t care about any of that. He’s pretty much a homebody, loves staying around home.”
Who is Parton’s best friend?
Parton’s best friend is Judy Ogle. The two have known each other all their lives and became friends when they were children. Parton talked about their friendship in an interview with The Sun:
“Judy and I have been best friends since we were little kids. Our parents knew each other, we grew up together, we were like sisters, became best friends. She was very quiet, I was very outgoing. So we made perfect friends. We went all through school together. She went to the army when we graduated because she needed the insurance and she needed to help her family and I was trying to make it. As soon as she got out, she came to Nashville and we’ve been together ever since.”
Ogle has been involved in some Parton productions. Her film credits include Christmas on the Square, Dolly Parton’s Heartstrings, A Smoky Mountain Christmas, and Dolly in Concert. Ogle also appeared in the documentary For the Love of Dolly.
Parton addressed rumors that they had a romantic relationship
There have been rumors over the years that Ogle was Parton’s secret girlfriend but the “I Will Always Love You” songbird denied that they were ever in a romantic relationship.
“People say that because you can’t really have a great relationship with a woman,” Parton told The Sun. “I’m not gay but I have so many gay friends and I accept everybody for who they are. People love to talk. People love to gossip. They’ve said that about Oprah [and Gayle King], but it’s not true.”
Parton also spoke of Ogle’s love life telling the publication: “She dates and she has had several boyfriends. The fact that they never see my husband, they make it out that we are in a relationship. It doesn’t upset me but it upsets and embarrasses Judy and her family. I say to her which would you prefer — being called an old maid or a lesbian? She says lesbian every time!”

Treasure Our Youth
Jamaica has a population of approximately 2.8 million people. Of these millions, 30% are youth (ages 10-24). Crime and violence levels remain high, emphasizing the need to address the issues of youth unemployment, education, and social cohesion. While unemployment rates have gone down for the population as a whole, unemployment rates remain high for youth. According to the World Bank, the unemployment rate for youth in 2017 is 28.6%. This is leading to high levels of crime and violence.
In a recent Community Assessment Survey administered to middle and high school youth in St. Ann, Jamaica, several areas of concern were noted. Teenage pregnancy, physical, mental and sexual abuse, lack of resources, hunger, poverty, and gang violence all resonated with the youth.
Another intriguing discovery from the survey is that the children feel that they are not being heard, or feel they don’t have a voice. TOY will facilitate an atmosphere or an outlet for these children to be heard and voice their opinions. The socio-economic realities of their families often result in a breakdown in the family unit. This creates shifting households, and in some cases leads to involvement in illegal activities such as crime and violence, gang warfare, and drugs.
Based on the recent crime statistics, Jamaican youth within the 16-24 age group accounts for 49.4% of all major crimes in the country, with males representing 98.7% of those arrested. Homicidal violence is a leading social problem with 77% by the gun. 80% of students have witnessed violence by the age of 16 years, 74% witnessed stabbing while 40% witnessed killing by the police.
Reproductive Health Challenges
While Jamaican children have universal access to health care, their welfare is compromised by deeply entrenched income inequities that create vulnerabilities for children, especially those living in rural areas and urban inner-city areas. Female youth are vulnerable to sexual exploitation and adolescent pregnancy. Issues such as childhood obesity and persistently high teen pregnancy rates are challenges that are yet to be adequately addressed by the state. Inability to negotiate condom use has led to unplanned parenthood, HIV and STI infections which sometimes goes untreated. The myth that sex with a virgin will cure an STI places an additional burden on young girls in Jamaica, and increased “forced” sexual encounters.
There are many reasons why young people abandon their education. The principal reasons are the lack of economic resources caused by family disintegration and not having enough money for school fees. Young people who lack opportunities to study or work are at higher risk of becoming involved in illicit activities, committing or becoming victims of acts of violence, perpetuating cycles of poverty, and becoming pregnant during their adolescence among other situations that limit their present and future opportunities.
Youths 15-24 years, 26.2 % of males and 7.9% of females are illiterate, have irregular attendance and under performance at both the primary and secondary school levels. About 25% of unattached youth attain only a Grade 9 level or less of education, lack of proper nutritional support – even though this situation has drastically improved through the support of the Government’s PATH program- and inadequate educational opportunities which leads to limited academic achievement.
It is no surprise that Jamaican youths need our help. The problem within the youth groups are not slowing down and has not slowed down since 2017. There are alternative routes that can be taken by young people but these routes must be guided by positive and successful adults that can show them the way. This is where our volunteers, donors, partners and members of Treasure Our Youth steps in to mentor, guide, support, and empower these youths to strive for a successful future. These youths do not have to succumb to the violence and crime that they have learned to adopt. We must teach them to unlearn these patterns and figure out a way to give them the necessary tools and resources to be the generation of youth that overcomes and helps the next do the same.
If you are interested in making a lasting impact on Jamaican youth, visit our website to learn how you can contribute to Treasure Our Youth.

The U.S. is urging India to alter its IPR regime, and the potential impact on prices in the pharmaceuticals sector is of concern to African countries that depend on India for low-cost generic medicines. The recent India-Africa Forum Summit in New Delhi sought to address this issue, but it will be a challenge for India to balance competing pressures.
The recent U.S. and China agreement to contain cyber espionage will not only impact their bilateral relationship, it will also create norms in international cyberspace. But implementation remains a challenge, and businesses, including in India, that have faced cyber threats must proactively plug their vulnerabilities
Do the TPP and the proposed India-EU trade deal extend protection of IPR, delaying generic competition for life-saving drugs and keeping their prices high? While these and other possible implications for Indian consumers and pharma companies become clearer over time, India must robustly engage with the debate on trade deals and public interest

Instead of inviting foreign corporations to India to create a manufacturing base, Modi can use his Silicon Valley experience to build a similar research and development foundation in India for indigenous high-tech companies. A strategic space megaproject could be the start of this much-needed push.

The visit of U.S. Defence Secretary Carter will help cement trust and expand the scope of India-U.S. defence cooperation. However, there are several important details around technology transfer that still need to be worked out before co-production of weapons can begin.
Less than two years ago most Indians would struggle to name a Chinese company. Fast forward to the present, Chinese smartphone company Xiaomi is on the tips of everyone’s tongue. Chinese internet giants Alibaba, Tencent and Xiaomi have emerged as investors and major players in India’s fast growing e-commerce and internet space. Their emergence marks a new and exciting area of cooperation and engagement between India and China
The idea that Asia can follow the West’s ‘get dirty, get rich, get clean’ strategy grows more absurd with every year. Nor can Asian political leaders say the region can’t afford the cost of environmental progress. It is now clear that India and other countries cannot afford the skyrocketing cost of environmental degradation.

My friend and colleague William Shepherd directed me to a piece at Quartz by Michele Acuto and Parag Khanna, on how cities are driving globalization more than nations – a theme I touched upon on this blog in March 2010, though admittedly Acuto and Khanna have fleshed things out more.
It’s not just the fact that cities elicit less pluralistic feelings among the population – Wellingtonians felt pretty strongly when Prime Minister John Key made his comment that our city was ‘dying’ – but there are practical reasons for cities to lead the way.
Firstly, we can’t afford to wait for central government to take the lead on a lot of policies. When it comes to economic development, cities should be able to mobilise a lot more quickly. The idea is that cities are leaner, flatter and more responsive to change. The reality is that some are mired in bureaucracy, and if voters agree that that has to change, then I would love to see that reflected in this year’s local body elections. Based on what I’ve seen, you won’t find the agent for change within politics, however – they have had more than enough opportunity to voice this view. This has to come from outside politics, from people who understand what cities are truly capable of, especially when they engage and realise their potential.
Acuto and Khanna cite several examples where cities have had to go above and beyond what their national governments have provided, in the areas of security, climate change and academia. Even stock exchanges are merging between cities:
Stock exchange mergers testify to this changing geography of influence: the popularized link between New York and Frankfurt via the 2011 talks on the NYSE Euronext and Deutsche Boerse merger only hinted at a wider trend that, in the past two years alone, has seen negotiations between London’s and Toronto’s stock exchanges, and similar discussions between Sydney and Singapore, Chicago and Sao Paulo, Dubai and Mumbai or the Shenzhen–Hong Kong–Shanghai triangle, all of which indicate how global finance networks are being redrawn through emerging global cities.
In my discussions with MBIE, the New Zealand Government has been aware of this trend, but other than the discussions about regional reform, very little of it has surfaced in Wellington. Yet the government has a focus on Auckland, and Christchurch will be state of the art once its rebuilding is completed. We have a perfect opportunity to use our inherent agility, if only we had our eyes on the prize, and moved forward rather than played politics, stuck with “think local, act local” thinking.
Secondly, cities should find the task of marketing themselves less confusing. A nation-branding exercise, for example, hits a snag early on. When I quizzed Wally Olins about this many years ago, he identified a very obvious problem: which government department pays for it? Is this the province of tourism, internal affairs, foreign affairs, trade, or something else? A city should be able to establish sufficient channels of communications between its organizations and trust in one – in Wellington’s case, tourism – to handle it. If these channels are broken, again, it’s going to take some new blood and real change to fix them and inspire a spirit of cooperation. There’s a pressing enough need to do so, with a vision that can be readily shared. We need to think differently in the 2010s.

CHAMPAIGN — For months, Jill Uken waited.
The 275 sweet-potato plants she planted last year grew and grew, blanketing the barnyard the Mahomet-Seymour junior borrowed for the season to use as her field. Every so often, a potato would peek up from the soil to give her an idea of what was to come when it came time to harvest, but the mystery adds intrigue to planting a crop that grows under the ground.
“I would say it’s a lot more exciting harvesting sweet potatoes” than corn, she said, “because it’s a little bit of a mystery what’s going to come up on each plant and how big they’re going to be.”
Then, on Oct. 3, when an early first frost killed the plants, it was all hands on deck. Her brother Tyler and father, Brad, manager of the Champaign County Farm Bureau, dug their shovels into the soil while she and her mother, Christine, gathered the potatoes. In all, they gathered around 400, some as big as 3 pounds and others small and underdeveloped, and piled them into the family’s garage.
“Once it frosts,” she said, “the vines turn immediately black, and then at that point, you’ve just got to dig them up no matter what.”
The quick death of the plants due to frost is the reason sweet potatoes aren’t generally grown in Illinois. Instead, they’re a popular crop in the Carolinas and Louisiana. The rarity in the region was one of the reasons the Uken family began growing sweet potatoes as part of an FFA project four years ago, starting with Jill’s brother Nicholas, and then Tyler, who each did it for one year apiece.
“It’s a one-plant, one-harvest crop, you know?” Jill Uken said. “It’s not like green beans, where you’re out there picking every week. You just plant them and harvest them. There’s also the appeal of, people don’t grow sweet potatoes around here, so you get that draw to it. It’s not like a sweet corn stand, where you have quite a bit of those all summer.”
Neither of Jill’s older brothers took to planting sweet potatoes quite like she did.
This year, she decided to plant 500 on a 75-feet-square plot of land at Clearview Farms after its manager, Jim Goss, reached out through her father to offer the space.
In the family’s fourth year of planting sweet potatoes, they’ve built up a following. They sell some to local restaurants and caterers, including Black Dog Smoke and Ale House three years ago. They also set up a stand at Curtis Orchard. Last year, Jill had to adjust because of COVID-19. Instead of selling large batches to vendors, she began advertising and building a brand on her Instagram page, @jills_sweet_potatoes_il, and word spread around Mahomet.
This year, the fans are back.
“People are constantly asking, ‘When are those sweet potatoes going to be ready?’” Christine said.
On Saturday, Jill Uken will talk about her experience growing sweet potatoes in the Illinois Department of Agriculture tent at the state fair as the Illinois Specialty Growers Association’s Farmer of the Day. She’ll tell other kids why they should take up a similar project to hers, which has become a small business in addition to an FFA project.
The labor hasn’t necessarily been easy. The Ukens plant and harvest the potatoes by hand, and Jill maintains them throughout the year. That hasn’t fazed her, though.
“It’s really like the process of knowing I planted them, I raised them, I go out there and water them, and to go out there and harvest and sell them, and to do the whole process,” Jill Uken said. “You’re not out there for a couple of days, and then you go back out there and the vines have doubled in length, and you just see them grow.
“You really do learn some things when you do this about owning your own business and building a brand. It’s been well worth it.”

GULFPORT, MS (WLOX) - First responders suffered their own losses in Katrina, yet, they put their personal lives on hold to help others.
In the wake of the devastating storm, responders pulled people from rooftops, helped the hurting and recovered the bodies of storm victims.
"I really want to praise the first responders who are here," said 43rd President, George W. Bush, who made so many trips to South Mississippi after Katrina.
The grateful former president joined Mississippi in recognizing the thousands who answered the call after Katrina.
"And what most Americans can't get a feel for is the courage and the perseverance and dedication of the thousands who rushed into harm's way. Many of whom are in this audience," said Bush.
They saw the storm's devastation, then got to work.
"My most vivid memory was making our way down to the CSX railroad tracks. And once we got on top of that, to see the debris field there and thinking, oh my God, what are we gonna do now?" said former Long Beach Fire Chief, George Bass.
Former First Lady Marsha Barbour, worked side by side with first responders.
"The treasures and the moments that we've shared will be in our hearts forever, and I just thank you for allowing me to serve with you and serve the people of Mississippi," the former first lady told the crowd.
The former president, along with Governor Phil Bryant, took the time to personally thank the many who've dedicated their lives to helping others.
"The search and rescue, the security. The fast reaction. Saved lives," said former Governor Haley Barbour, whose own leadership was credited by so many for helping his state recover so quickly.
