Ever since military veterans began to stream home from the waning wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, we've been keeping our eye on what kinds of work they end up doing after their service ends. For some, physical injuries have made reentering the workforce difficult or even impossible. For others, lingering posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms made traditional nine-to-five desk jobs unmanageable.
As we reported before, a number of veterans have found solace (and successful careers) in farming. What's better is that we?re seeing signs that this is a trend with staying power?good news, given that the Department of Labor estimates?1.5 million service members will leave the military in the next five years.
There?s plenty of help out there for veterans interested in farming. Groups like Veterans Sustainable Agriculture Training?program,?Combat Boots to Cowboy Boots, and the?Farmer Veteran Coalition,?provide training, funding and support to get veterans working again, often in the rural communities they call home.
This year alone, the Farmer Veteran Coalition (FVC) is expected to hand out $200,000 in microgrants. (FVC?s biggest funder is the Bob Woodruff Foundation.)?Grants aren?t simply for the asking, though. FVC helps veterans develop rock-solid business plans and connects applicants with mentors to ensure success. Not all of the grants go towards traditional farming either.
?It?s amazing what a microgrant can do,? Tia Christopher, spokesperson for FVC tells TakePart.?For example, a veteran in Indiana launched an aquaponics business and now raises tilapia. A grant to a veteran in Texas helped him revive his family?s pecan farm. In Maryland, FVC helped a veteran launch a now successful vermicompost business, and a FVC-funded veteran in Brooklyn helped set up a garden for refugees.
For returning Army veteran Terrell Spencer, support from the Farmer Veteran Coalition helped him score a much-needed refurbished tractor. ?That $5,000 did more good than a lifetime of medication and therapy,? he says. ?Our business has grown exponentially because of it.?
Today, Spencer raises nearly 10,000 pastured chickens at Across The Creek Farm in?West Fork, Arkansas, and is committed to helping other returning veterans learn valuable farming skills. Of the four interns currently working on his farm, three are military veterans. Spencer is active with the National Center for Appropriate Technology (NCAT) and is helping to organize a week-long training program called Armed To Farm scheduled for this June. That program will bring two-dozen veterans together to experience hands-on training.
In addition to job skills, the emotional impact learning to work the land can have on returning veterans is breathtaking. When a veteran that had been interning at Across The Creek Farm began looking for his own land to farm, he told Spencer that he finally had skills that were meant for something other than killing people.
?I knew that exact feeling,? said Spencer, who returned from Iraq with raging PTSD. ?I spent those first months turning the woods on my farm into pasture. I took my aggression out on oak trees instead of my family.?
Christopher says she wishes more people would understand how much even a small financial bump can do. ?Five thousand dollars is barely any money, and yet, look at Terrell Spencer. It?s changed everything.?

American Express says it will slash roughly 5,400 jobs, mainly in its travel business, and book a $287 million restructuring charge. As a result, the credit card company projects that it will report a drop in fourth-quarter in adjusted net income from a year ago.
On Thursday American Express said its fourth-quarter earnings will amount to $637 million or 56 cents per share, reflecting charges for restructuring, Membership Rewards expenses and cardmember reimbursements. Excluding one-time items, the company expects earnings of $1.2 billion or $1.09 per share.

Ex-wife hog-ties Florida man, drags him behind truck: police
ORLANDO, Florida | Thu Jan 10, 2013 12:07pm EST
(Reuters) - A Florida man's ex-wife used a stun gun on him, tied him to a truck bumper and dragged him for half a mile before he escaped, the Volusia County Sheriff's Office reported.
Robert Hall, 54, remained in the surgical intensive care unit on Thursday at Halifax Health Medical Center in Daytona Beach, where he was being treated for a broken pelvis, broken facial bones and bleeding in his brain, according to the sheriff's office.
The attack took place in a rural part of New Smyrna Beach, a popular Florida resort town, where Hall typically stayed at the home of his ex-wife, Jeanette Morris, 61, while she was away working as a truck driver.
Morris suspected that Hall had allowed his girlfriend in the house and arranged for a deputy to escort her when she returned to her home Tuesday night in order to avoid a confrontation, the sheriff's report said. The deputy left the house after Morris told him she would spend the night at her brother's house.
Instead, Morris and her brother, Harold Anderson, 63, and a woman named Joan Hobart, 46, began drinking vodka with Hall. The three turned on him, shocked him three times with a stun gun, punched him in the face and put a gun to his head, the sheriff's report said.
They tied Hall's hands behind his back then tied his ankles together and attached the rope to the bumper of a pickup truck and dragged him for half a mile, the report said. After the truck stopped, the three tossed Hall into the truck bed, cut off some of his hair and talked about scalping him and looking for a hole to bury him, according to the report.
As the truck took off again, Hall leaped out and ran to a house for help, the report said.
Morris, Anderson and Hobart are each charged with attempted murder, conspiracy to commit murder, false imprisonment, aggravated battery and aggravated assault.

Earlier this week, reports that a cheaper iPhone is in the works caused plenty of buzz as observers speculated about how such a device could help Apple target emerging markets, including China. But an interview Apple Marketing SVP Phil Schiller gave to the Shanghai Evening News (link via Google Translate) seems to refute the rumors. (TNW confirmed with Apple that this was an official interview).Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/bpewk-7pYUA/

On Thursday night's "Big Bang Theory," Sheldon and the guys go on a comic-book-convention road trip that soon turns into a sci-fi adventure. Good thing they dressed for an away mission.

Promo photos from the episode reveal the core crew decked out in their "Star Trek: The Next Generation" finery. Howard (Simon Helber) channeled his inner Borg, Raj (Kunal Nayyar) made for a perfect stand-in for security chief Worf, Leonard (Johnny Galecki) dressed as Capt. Jean-Luc Picard, and Sheldon (Jim Parsons) aptly outfitted himself as Data.
