OECD Factblog: http://scout.wisc.edu/Archives/SPT--FullRecord.php?ResourceId=27893
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is well known for their vast store of research papers and related items,
but they are now entering the blogosphere, albeit in their own erudite
fashion. Their "Factblog" brings together graphs, charts, and videos to
offer insightful commentary on pressing policy issues and global
transformations. Visitors can glance over recent posts, which as of
late, have included discussions of China's share of the global economy
and the social and economic status of women. With each post, visitors
will also find links to other related material from the OECD and other
international organizations. Also, visitors can browse through their
archive of posts back to July 2008 and, of course, they can subscribe to
the RSS feed.
U of California Sustainable Ag Research and Ed Program: http://scout.wisc.edu/Archives/SPT--FullRecord.php?ResourceId=27895
The University of California has created a wonderfully informative website with the aim to "provide leadership and support for scientific
research and education in agricultural and food systems that are
economically viable, conserve natural resources and biodiversity." The
site is for ranchers and farmers in regard to production and marketing,
but is also for the rural and urban communities to better their
understanding of the need for and desirability of using and supporting
sustainable agricultural practices. Visitors will find that the last
three links on the menu on the left side of the page contain resources
for farmers that are essential when it comes to sustainable agriculture:
"Cover Crops", "PestCast", and "Soil Quality". The "PestCast" is
particularly interesting, as it introduces a new technology to forecast
crop disease via a computer-based model. Under the "Resources" heading
on the left side menu, there is a link to a seasonal "Newsletter",
simply titled "Sustainable Agriculture" to which visitors can subscribe.
Richard Throssel Photographs of Crow American Indians: http://scout.wisc.edu/Archives/SPT--FullRecord.php?ResourceId=27901
Born in Marengo, Washington in 1882, Richard Throssel entered the world of photography at the age of 20. He had recently moved to the Crow
Reservation in Montana, and he quickly became interested in taking
photographs of the people and the land around him. Throssel would remain
on the reservation until 1911, and he took over 1000 photos of Crow
Indian life before he left. This digital collection from the American
Heritage Center at the University of Wyoming presents over 570 of his
images. Visitors can browse the collection by subject or date, and each
item contains a complete bibliographical record. As one might expect,
visitors can zoom in and out around the photo as they see fit in order
to look for various details and nuances.

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
public servants
The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
