Condoleezza Rice is viewed as the ultimate team player, a woman of intellect and poise whose loyalty to the president is unwavering. But a closer look reveals that Condi is less intellectual, politically savvier, and far more formidable than people realize.

To create more impact in rice farming communities, the Philippine Rice Research Institute (PhilRice) - Isabela Branch Station, through its project titled, 'Promotion of Rice and Rice-based Technologies in Northeast Luzon, started to engage all potential partners in the area to serve as allies in rice technology promotion. The Sangguniang Panlalawigan/Bayan- Committee on Agriculture members were identified as one group of primary movers. This committee is expected to work in coordination with the Municipal Agriculture Office in planning and implementing agriculture related projects and activities. Thus, to become more effective technology promotion partners, series of Science and Technology Updates for Legislators were conducted to educate them with the latest technologies related to rice and rice-based farming . An analysis of the participants' profile showed that across sites, majority of the Legislators who participated in the said activity were male at 95% while 5% were women. Majority of them were Bachelor of Science in Agriculture degree holders which affirms their qualifications to be in the committee. However, there were 20% legislator-participants who have no background on agriculture. They were the same participants who expressed their interest to have follow-up training activities involving the farmers in their localities. All legislator-participants claimed that the activity gave them ideas on how they could better deliver their roles as chairs of the committee on agriculture and at the same time legislators to benefit their respective farmers. Majority of the participants have selected the top three most useful topics as follows: 1) Overview of the PalayCheck System, 2) ICT Tools, and 3) Climate-Smart Technologies. The participants altogether requested for the conduct of next training activities to include the Committee on Agriculture chair, Municipal Agriculturist, and Planning Officer so that they can be guided in the development of their own municipal agriculture programs.

Fort Rice was a small Revolutionary War stronghold built between 1779 and 1780 by the German Regiment of Maryland and Pennsylvania, the first ethnically based unit in the American military. The fort was built to protect the inhabitants of Northumberland County from Native American and British attacks. Regulars of the Eleventh Pennsylvania Regiment had been stationed loosely throughout the area to bolster the defense provided by the unreliable militia of the county, but they were called up to join Major General John Sullivan's campaign in 1779. In July of that year, while the Continental soldiers were gone, the area's wooden fort—Fort Freeland—was burned after a war party surrounded it and forced the people inside to surrender. As a response to the increased violence, the German Regiment was sent in to reinforce the militia and to rebuild two different fortifications, one of which was Fort Rice. Bloodshed on this central Pennsylvania frontier affected all settlers, no matter their distance from the Continental and British armies; the construction of Fort Rice, the only limestone fortification built, demonstrated that these people were determined to live in the area despite constant attack by their enemies.
