By The Associated Press
TACOMA, Wash. -- Former child TV star Danny Bonaduce says a crazed fan bit him during an event at a Washington state casino.
The former "Partridge Family" actor tells The News Tribune of Tacoma the woman asked him if she could kiss him and then sank her teeth into his cheek for about a minute until others pulled her off.
Bonaduce, who works these days as a radio DJ in Seattle, said the woman was taken into custody Friday, but he doesn't plan to press charges.
His face had a bright red mark a day later, when he said what he was thinking during the attack, "Bath salts," he said, referencing a designer drug linked to bizarre and violent behavior in users.
Bonaduce's wife, Amy, says her husband was treated with antibiotics.

We can't afford to lose momentum on food ... - Ghana Business News
You Are Here: Home ? General News ? We can?t afford to lose momentum on food security now ? Kofi Annan

Kofi Annan
The Chairman of the African Green Revolution Forum (AGRF), Dr Kofi Annan, has called on African leaders not to be complacent despite the success chalked up in the area of agriculture in the recent past.
He said it was time African leaders upheld their part of the bargain by increasing investments and encouraging public private partnerships to ensure that all farmers, large and small, contributed to ensuring food security on the continent.
?We cannot afford to lose the momentum in ensuring food security now and action is required from all governments on the continent and every partner to achieve this,? he said.
Dr Annan, a former United Nations Secretary General, was addressing the 2nd African Green Revolution Forum in Arusha Tanzania Thursday.
He said African governments must help farmers to expand their farms and to treat their farms as businesses.
He indicated that through the Alliance for a Green Revolution on Africa (AGRA) seven countries had been reached with 330 new varieties of crops while 380 hectares of land had been rejuvenated in the last three years.
Dr Annan said Africa could transform its agricultural sector significantly, if their leaders collaborated with the right partners adding that strategic change would only occur with result oriented partnerships.
Tanzanian President, Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete, blamed African leaders for not doing enough to ensure adequate investment in agriculture.
He noted that many African countries had failed to implement the 2003 Maputo Declaration which enjoined them to commit 10 per cent of their budgets to agriculture leaving the sector undeveloped.
Opening the ongoing AGRF, President Kikwete said though African leaders knew what they needed do to revolutionalise agriculture and help change the fortunes of millions of Africans whose lives depended on agriculture, they had not done that.
He said: ?We know what needs to be done, we are doing something about it but we have not done enough to support the development of agriculture in Africa.?
President Kikwete said if African leaders did not invest in agriculture, the much taunted agricultural transformation would be like ?a song without dancers.?
He said it was time for African leaders to adopt more effective ways of growing and developing agriculture on the continent to promote food security, enhance nutritional levels and create better living conditions for the people.
President Kikwete indicated that though most economies in Africa relied on agriculture, the sector remained backward characterised by traditional methods of farming, low use of improved seeds, fertilisers and lack of financial credits.
He said it was disturbing that despite the fact that about 70-80 per cent of Africa?s population were involved in agriculture, only five per cent of all arable land was irrigated in Africa.
Also he said Africa used only 10 per cent of the world?s fertiliser.The results, he said, had been small farm sizes, low yields, low income and poverty.
He said it was not surprising that about 239 million of the continent?s people were food insecure.
President Kikwete stressed the crucial need for African leaders to help scale up investments in agriculture by investing in irrigation, increase support for research and agricultural development and support mechanised agriculture.
He called on leaders to be responsive to the needs of all farmers, especially small holder farmers, to reduce poverty and hunger and enhance living standards.
The President of the AGRA, Ms Jane Karuku, noted that misguided policies and neglect had affected the development of agriculture in Africa and stated that the AGRA was committed to working to unlock the potentials in the agricultural sector of Africa.
She said subsistence farming should not be seen as an acceptable way of farming and that the AGRA continued to provide improved seeds and technical support, particularly for small holder farmers to improve their productivity and profitability and integrate them into competitive markets.
Ms Melinda Gates, Co-founder and Co-Chair of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, said there was the need to improve agriculture in African countries if they wanted to see a change in the lives of its people.
Over 1,200 stakeholders in agriculture, including 14 heads of state, 23 ministers of agriculture, agri-business entrepreneurs and farmers are attending the forum in Arusha Tanzania.
The AGRA is an initiative of the Rockefeller Foundation and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to help promote food security on the continent.
The three-day forum being held on the theme: ?Scaling Investment and Innovation for Sustainable Agricultural Growth and Food Security would discuss effective ways to ensure food security on the African continent.?

Dish Network to launch satellite broadband service | Lubbock Online ...
NEW YORK (AP) ? Satellite TV company Dish Network Corp. is launching a broadband Internet service that's aimed at rural areas that don't currently get high-speed Internet.
Dish Network said Thursday that the satellite broadband service, dishNet, will start at $40 per month for people who bundle it with certain Dish's TV programming packages. The new service goes on sale Monday.
The company is targeting about 14.5 million Americans who, according to a Federal Communications Commission report, live in rural areas and don't have access to high-speed Internet. In all, about 19 million people in the U.S. don't have high-speed Internet service.
The dishNet service will offer download speeds of up to 10 megabytes per second. Dish said this is fast enough for typical Internet uses such as accessing social networks, music or video streaming and Internet telephone services.
The $40 per month service will offer download speeds of 5 megabytes per second. The faster service will cost $50 per month on top of a Dish TV account. Standalone Internet service without Dish TV will cost $10 more.
This service is available in Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington and Wyoming.
Shares of Englewood, Colo.-based Dish rose 29 cents to $30.70 in morning trading Thursday. Its shares are down 14 percent from their 52-week high of $35.64 in mid-March.

arthurts Site - Bring back your creativity | Self Improvement Tips ...
So I thought, why don?t I tell them about that? How do you get creative or resourceful when it just doesn?t seem to be there?
Easy peasy, as we used to say at school. (I think we might have added ?lemon squeezy? too ? but who cares?).
I simply remember all the times I have been resourceful. I see myself sitting at my desk writing furiously, wondering how on earth so much time can have passed I?m on such a roll. I recall times when I was teaching, or explaining something passionately to my kids, or when I had to think up a plausible excuse to get myself out of a hole, or when friends dropped in unexpectedly and I concocted a meal out of a larder I had considered empty ?. the number of times any one of us has been creative and resourceful is huge.
Pretty soon, my brain is so full of ideas, I wonder if I can just keep to one a day. My posture changes, I may walk about, my breathing is different.
And you know what? You can do it the other way round too. If I change my posture, my breathing and my movements to the way I am when I feel creative, that old creative feeling comes back all by itself.

School Systems Blog - Four Gaming Resources for Learning
Most educators view games as a way to incentivize students for good behavior, or to play during excess time in the class. However, using video games for learning purposes has caught fire in the classroom, and I don?t see it burning out anytime soon! In fact, MindShift just posted a video this week about How Games Are Being Used for Learning that I highly recommend checking out. Not convinced? Head on over to Mashable for another article about Why Education Needs to Get Its Game On.
The great thing about this educational tool is that you get to test it out yourself before using it with your students! Sounds like fun to me. So, here are four online games you can play?I mean, test out?before implementing them for learning:
- FunBrain: More than 100 fun, interactive educational games and more! These games focus on developing skills in math, reading, and literacy. Ages preschool through 8th grade.
- Arcademic Skill Builder: Teach basic math, language arts, vocabulary, and thinking skills with these games!
- MineCraft: This game is a neat educational tool! You can find an example of how it is used in the classroom HERE.
- Math Moves U: These video games could make practicing math habitual, which is not easy to do!
Lastly, Free Technology for Teachers has an article that provides some tips for success and lessons learned concerning educational gaming. It has some great insight: Video Games in Teaching.
What do you think, do online video games belong in the classroom?
