As competition heats up between Owings Mills developers, the company that plans to build an upscale shopping center featuring a Wegmans store touted the jobs and tax revenue it said its project at the former Solo Cup site would create.
The Foundry Row development would support about 3,100 permanent jobs in Baltimore County and generate $4.8 million in annual local tax revenue, according to an economic impact study commissioned by developers Greenberg Gibbons Commercial. The study by economist Anirban Basu of Sage Policy Group is to be released today.
"We just want to show the true economic impact of the project," said Brian Gibbons, chairman and CEO of Greenberg Gibbons.
Foundry Row, expected to cost $140 million, is one of several major Owings Mills redevelopment projects in the works. As the county starts a comprehensive zoning review, Gibbons' firm is seeking approval to use the 52-acre site near the intersection of Reisterstown and Painters Mill roads for retail outlets.
The project would feature about 385,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space, plus roughly 40,000 square feet of offices.
Basu said the plan "very much fits with the aspirations Baltimore County has had for Owings Mills."
Wegmans' selection of the site shows that the area has the affluence and demand required for high-quality retail, Basu said. The popular specialty grocery store would be attractive for residential developers and also would draw consumers from throughout the region, he said.
Wegmans has said its Owings Mills site would employ about 600 people.
Developers of other projects in the area — the revamping of the Owings Mills Mall and the nearby transit-oriented Metro Centre — have raised questions about Foundry Row. Last week, mall developer Kimco Realty released traffic and market studies that said the area lacked the infrastructure and retail demand for a project such as Greenberg Gibbons'.
Gibbons, whose firm has developed "town center"-style shopping plazas in Annapolis and Hunt Valley, said retailers' interest in his project shows it can work. He said there was a dearth of high-quality retailers in Owings Mills now.
"Our leasing momentum has been fantastic," said Gibbons, who wants to start demolishing the Solo Cup factory this spring. "This whole idea that there's too much retail is absurd. It's absolutely absurd."
The company is negotiating with several national companies to anchor Foundry Row along with Wegmans, he said, including a fitness center and a sporting goods store. Signed leases could be announced within the next few months, Gibbons said.
Basu's job estimates for Foundry Row include not only positions at the shopping area but jobs that would be supported by the economic activity spurred by the center.
Geoffrey Glazer, Kimco vice president of acquisitions and development, said Monday that while he could not comment in detail on the study, because it had not been publicly released, any analysis needed to take the entire market into account.
"Any one project's economic strength and vitality needs to take into consideration how it affects other projects in the area," Glazer said.
The market analysis released by Kimco pointed to high vacancy rates in Owings Mills, which, it said, were running at more than 20 percent along Reisterstown Road.
According to Basu's report for Greenberg Gibbons, 70 percent of the vacant retail space in Owings Mills is at the mall. When that space is not counted, the vacancy rate in the area is about 4 percent, Basu said. That is much lower than rates in surrounding areas such as Towson, where more than 8 percent of retail space is empty, according to his report.
County economic development officials have said they believe the market is vibrant enough to support multiple projects. Decisions on zoning are up to the County Council.
A Planning Board hearing on zoning issues in the district is scheduled for 7 p.m. Thursday at Pikesville High School.

HANSEN THE SIGNPOST Let summer begin! Weber State University's Michele Human put down her racquet and picked up a bat to participate Monday in the intramural softball tournament. Educator's salaries go public By Mark Forsberg Signpost managing editor The mandatory release of all state-funded educator salaries created fewer waves than were expected, said Weber State University Provost Robert Smith, who reports only two calls on the issue, both from reporters. However, Smith said the salary disclosure packet will raise some obvious questions among WSU's employees. Teaching faculty in accounting and information systems range from $50,000-$70,000 per year on a 12-month contract. Salaries among business administration faculty range from $40,000-$70,000 for nine or 10-month contracts. However, departments like nursing and communications range from $20,000 to $37,000 for nine to 12-month contracts "There are a lot of inconsistencies," he said. "A lot of faculty will ask why they're making less than someone who's only been here half as long," he said. Salaries depend on the the national salary market for different professions, he said. "We did an in-depth look at the market and at public universities of similar size. I don't always agree with it but that's the way it is," he said. He added many faculty would nothavejoined Weber State University for a lower salary. Smith said the salaries of executive positions, like deans, vice-presidents and some directors, are gauged according to salaries at comparative institutions. "We're a little lower than the rest, but we try to keep up," Smith said. Dean's salaries range from $74,000 to $80,000, and vice-president's salaries range from $96,820 for the provost's position to $85,075 for the vice president of university advancement. The university president's salary is $103,870. Smith said the difference between faculty and executive salaries was due to the amount of responsibility held by people in executive slots. "Whenever someone shoulders a lot of responsibility and makes a lot of decision they tend to make a higher salary," he said. "The school is getting a little top-heavy," he said. In 1987 the school cut administration 14 percent and faculty only 5 percent. Smith said it is time for that process to take place again. Smith agreed many of the positions held by females are paid less than male positions in the same department. However, he added the salary disclosure did not list factors like credentials and degrees. Doubt cast on reality of trade imbalance By Scott Hoffman Signpost staff writer Is there really a trade imbalance between the United States and Japan? U.S. government figures show that Japan imports $50 billion to $60 billion less each year j of U.S. goods than the United States does of Japanese products, said Dean Collinwood, assistant professor of sociology and director of Asian studies at Weber State University. "This is a complex subject, and J though I believe the government's figures, those figures only tell part of the story," said Shane Schvaneveldt, a management specialist who spoke Thursday at the Issues Forum. "Recently, Japanese companies are relocating to the U.S., primarily in the Southern and Midwestern states, and are providing jobs where historically, the unemployment rate is high," Schvaneveldt said. He noted that there are about 500 companies, wholly ormajority-owned by Americans, operating in Japan, and that the combined annual sales is approximately $50 billion. "American products made in Japan, and Japanese products made in the U.S. are not considered in the U-S. government reports, thus skewing the figures," he said. These companies show a combined annual profit of $30 to $35 billion, which is returned to the U.S. -based parent company. Both Collinwood and Schvaneveldt were in agreement that there is no real trade imbalance; the imbalance is one of marketing techniques and cultural differences. "In the late '80s, when the Japanese supposedly 'invaded' the U.S. markets, the overall ratio of product sales was 5 to 1 in favor of the United States," Schvaneveldt said. He listed some U.S. companies located in Japan, and their percentageof thatmarket: Schick, 71 percent; Gleason Corp., 90 percent; Polaroid, 66 percent (imagine selling cameras or film to the Japanese). "In some instances, the Japanese restrict imports, usually by prohibitive tariffs, and in other cases they may require that a foreign investor join with a Japanese See Trade page 2 Quick Takes QM News For the first time ever, get a glimpse at what some of the bigwig make.

|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

Update on the 2004 Draft Picks
This is Roman Tesliuk. When I last checked the numbers for the Oilers prospects 2004-07 Tesliuk hadn't played a game yet. Now he's playing, but in a lower tier league. The 2004 draft was 3.5 years ago and at this point in time we can probably see which players are off the pace based on their draft day selection.
(14th overall) G Devan Dubnyk: .903SP and a 3.30 GAA for the big man. His SP is lagging behind Delauriers (.921) and he has been wildly inconsistent this season. For where he was taken in the 2004 draft, he's not covering the bet at this point in time but remains a solid prospect.
(25th overall) C Rob Schremp: 40gp, 10-31-41 in the AHL and he's had a cup of coffee in the NHL this season. Looks like he's the next guy in line for a callup and is deserving of a prolonged NHL audition. A pretty happy story based on his draft number, even the crazy Schremp fanbase seems to have settled down and stopped wailing over the struggles of the Hockey Jesus.
(44th overall) D Roman Tesliuk: 30gp, 5-1-6 in something called the Russian "High" League. Looks like a second tier minor league, maybe an ECHL level league over there. A guy who had some nice things written about him but we can safely write him off as a prospect I'd say. A fairly high pick, we can put up a big black X on the scouting department for this one.
(57th overall) C Geoff Paukovich: 35gp, 7-6-13 with Stockton of the ECHL. Left college early and has fallen flat. He'll turn 22 in April. I think we can safely regard this player as an extreme long shot for the NHL based on where he is and at this particular age. You never know, but you sorta do. 57th overall is still in the range where NHL players are being drafted, so Paukovich would have to be considered a disappointment.
(112th overall) LW Liam Reddox: He's already had an amazing season, certainly the best of any of the Oilers' 2004 picks. After a full year in Stockton he's played well for Springfield (32gp, 10-14-24) and incredibly made his NHL debut. A nice feather in the cap for the Oilers' procurement department, he's carrying the mail (with Schremp) for the Oilers 2004 draft class.
(146th overall) D Bryan Young: You know, he's played in the NHL each of the last two seasons, but this has been a very tough one for him. Young's plus minus (-13) compares poorly to his number in the AHL last season (-3 in 32GP) and frankly I'm wondering if he's playing through an injury. Either way he's hit a wall as a pro and will need to turn it around. Certainly has covered the bet based on draft number.
(177th overall) D Max Gordichuk: Drafted by the Oilers because they were impressed with him while scouting Tesliuk, Gordichuk went bust faster than any other Oiler in this draft class. I believe he's no longer playing organized hockey.
(208th overall) RW Stephane Goulet: When you draft skill in the 200s there's usually a hitch in the giddy-up. With Goulet he's got speed issues and O by the way he isn't scoring. You can't really fault a scouting staff for missing on a pick this late imo.
(242nd overall) C Tyler Spurgeon: Injured early and often, Spurgeon has shown flashes of being a solid role player in the Rem Murray-Kyle Brodziak family of players. He's recovering from a concussion and in a recent Guy Flaming article we got this update: "He was told by a doctor down there that he probably should retire but it wasn't a sports doctor it was just a regular doctor in a hospital," said Prendergast. "But [team physician] Dr. Naidu has looked at him and we have faith that he's going to play again this year." Those damn regular doctors.
(274th overall) G Bjorn Bjurling: Speaking of Flaming, there may be something up with this player and Flaming is the source. In that post comes the line Bjurling's stats line is an attractive 19 GP, 2.33 GAA (3rd best in SEL) and .934 save% (Best in SEL). He's still a long shot but might be the second coming of Jussi Markkanen. At that point in the draft if he plays an NHL game it's a win.

Carol Ryrie Brink Collection M/A 1994.09.01
|Brink, Carol Ryrie, 1895-1981
|Carol Ryrie Brink Collection

|James K. Hosmer Special Collections Library
Born on December 28, 1895 in Moscow, Idaho, Carol Ryrie Brink attended the University of Idaho (1914-1917) and received the Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of California Berkeley (1918). Soon thereafter she married Raymond Brink, a mathematician at the University of Minnesota. In 1965 Brink was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Literature from the University of Idaho. She died August 15, 1981.
Orphaned at a very young age, Brink desired to be a writer from an early age. This desire was nurtured by her aunt and grandmother, who were both excellent storytellers. Her most famous book, Caddie Woodlawn (1935), is based on a story she heard often as she was growing up. It is the story of the Wisconsin childhood of her grandmother Caddie.
After publishing her first book in 1934, Brink wrote more than thirty fiction and nonfiction books for children and adults, as well as several plays. She received the Newbery Award in 1936 and the Lewis Carroll Shelf Award in 1959 for Caddie Woodlawn. Brink won the Friends of American Writers Award in 1956 for The Headland and the Irvin Kerlan Award in 1978 for Four Girls on a Homestead.

A Search for Paradise (1) ch.2"There's only one way to go home." I tell Ralts."Walking?" she asks."No, flying." Latios says."Flying? I don't know." she whimpers. If she's going to be with us, we fly a lot. She'll need to be less afraid of flying."We promise, neither of us would drop you, at any moment." I say cheerfully bending my neck down to her."If you say so." Ralts says getting ehr grip on my neck and hauling herself upright. I lift it up and turn to Latios. We exchange nods and take off the ground. I feel the grip on my neck tighten. She must be still terrified. I steady my flight on the wind currents. Now I'm just letting the wind carry me, I forgot how peaceful it is, having the wind do the flting for me, have it just carry me across the sky. Latios catches up to me and I point down to the river below. He nods and flies around to my othe side.I'm diving towards the river until we're both just above the clear water. We center ourselves into the middle and dip our hands down, creating four glistening wa
The Search for Paradise (1) ch.3The night almost seemed to carry on, I had to ignore the obnoxious snoring that came around outside. Hoping it would stop, I burry my head into the straw. As dawn approached, I could hear the Doduo calling as the sun rose. I heard a small scream from the humans outside."Hurry, get everything and move out!" screamed one."Right!" said the others. As they gathered their belongings they quickly took off away from here. Latios woke up from the commotion, his loud ghasp awoke Ralts."Are they still there?" asks Latios."They just left." I answer with a sheer smile."That's good news," says Ralts. Just then Suicune came in."Good morning you three," she greets us."Good Morning, do you have anything we need to do?" I ask her."No, but I ask, if you guys don't play your Trash the Humans game," she says giving us a stern look."Only if there's a pokemon within camp," says Latios."Yes, that's the only acception, but until then, you might want to start showing Ralts some areas of the Hidden La
The Search for Paradise (1) ch.4A new morning, no humans nearby, our stomachs are finally full, my chin is fully healed. I raise my head and look around the room, Latios and Ralts aren't here. Maybe in the kitchen? I open the door and peer in, Ralts is sitting alone at the table, Latios isn't here. She hears me and turns around."Good morning," she says."Hey, good morning. Where's Latios?" I ask her."No idea, Suicune left a note, saying she'll be gone for the whole day. Latios wasn't in the room when I woke up, I couldn't find him anywhere." she sighs.I wonder where he could've gone. "I'm going to go look for him, stay here." I say and leave the den. I fly up above most of the trees but stay hidden between branches. I call out a four note tune. Hopin for a reply. This is how we communicate whenever we can't find each other. It comes in real good handy if any birds chime in. But there's no answer. I look around, and call it out again. No reply. Once more, no reply. My heart begins to race and I'm looking in all dir
Hunting Kyurem ch.11 FinaleI send out my last telepathically sentence to everyone around me, even Mandibuzz, "I, have failed." going down in flames. Just when I feel a gentle tug on my wings, and I feel the flames catch fire.I feel limp, my body must be dying right now I think. the smoke clears and the remaining area is smothered in ash."Braviary! Wake up! Wake up, Braviary! Please don't lay here, say something!" I hear Mandibuzz scream at me. I don't even feel the strength to say a word."Braviary!" I hear another, it's Unfezent's. He pleads for me to wake up, again I'm not moving. I feel someone tug on the feathers of my face, it could be the Zorua from before. Then, hearing footsteps come closer. I reconized them, it's Karen. She doesn't scream or yell at me to wake up, I can barely hear her kneel down and stroke the feathers on my head."Braviary..." she says with a sob. There's a bunch of sad bird sreeches. It's my flock, they're sad too. I'm barely alive while my friends are sobbing around me, and I can'
The Search for Paradise (1) ch.5The one thought is why did Latios all the sudden need his collar? I think back when we were younger, when we were tight on food, I found this bag of oran berries lying in the middle of the road and I traded it for a collar that had the eon triangle sign. When I gave it to him, he was reallly excited but he stopped wearing it when he got older.Then the next day, Latios did the same and he traded cheri berries for three silver bracelet rings I wear on my arm. It was exciting because one had the same eon triangle. I never took them off, just when Latios stopped wearing his collar. I'll think I'll ask him. My eyes flutter open and look around the room. I think the medicine has wore off, I finally feel the strength to get up and move around. Latios and Ralts aren't here, maybe in the kitchen. I float towards the doorway, and there they are."Morning Sleepy Head," Latios says with a chuckle. Ralts laughs too."Hey Latias," she says."Good Morning. How long was I out?" I ask"Not long, just
Hunting Kyurem ch.10 To the DeathSwanna is dead, my flock is falling, I might see Karen again, I won't tell Unfezent how insaine I think he is, I won't tell Mandibuzz something I wanted to tell her for awhile. Kyurem is heading straight for me. If he fire's any move stronger than Hyper Beam, I'm sure the mark won't save me fully.The spiral, means I'm the Hero Braviary. But I wonder something, how did the last Hero die? Was it Kyurem? I dive to the side, hoping to lead Kyurem into the woods where I can have a little chat with him."Hey Kyurem! If you think you can destroy me then come and get me!" I taunt him. He snarls back and follows me into the forest. "Tell me, did another Baviary fight you?" I ask flying near the ground. Not knowing Kyurem flew ahead and slammed down in front of me."As a matter of fact, I did!" he growls, punching me into a tree."Did- did he have spiral on his foot, like me?" I weakly ask him showing the spiral in my right foot."Yes he did have that." he growls again picking me up
The Search for Paradise (1) ch.7Latios carried Blaze on his back and I carried Ralts on mine as we headed up the mountains, where Flarewhip, the keeper of the Flame Sword awaits us and Blaze's battle. Blaze leaped off of Latios and started to jog quickly. I have no idea why he's doing that. Then, as the top reaches our sight, Blaze stops in front of a small oasis. He looks down at his refection.I slowly look over his shoulder to see his reflection, mine, Jen's, and another. It's weird, but I think the Legendary Pokemon Jirachi is here. I jerk my head backwards to see him floating in fron of us. Lstios heads over to my side. Blaze turns around to see him."You seek a wish, don't you?" Jirachi calmly asks Blaze. Blaze nods. He reaches his hand out and holds a star peice. Jirachi stares happily at it and accepts it from him. "Ok, what is your wish?""I wish to find Flarewhip and battle him," he says back. Jirachi's head jerks up with eyes wide open. He's completely shocked by his answer."Ok. You'll fight a warrior who
The Search for Paradise (1) ch.1The island, hidden with in time and space. So large it would take a year to travel to the other side. Inhabited by only pokemon. Humans are forever banned. But that doesn't stop any from coming into the border and hurting us. My brother and I are suppose to be well hidden from them. But one of our games is to trash their campsite and dump all their hunting materials into the ocean. We've been told that our parents were killed during the week of our birth, possibly on the day we were crowned to be futeure protectors of the Hidden Land."Come on Latias! Suicune said we can't play today." my brother calls to my name flying to the sky. I follow behind him and we head away from the trashed campsite. I still wonder why he seems to be motivated about the commotion of us not being able to play Trash the Humans."Have any idea where she is, Latios?" I ask him."Uh, no," he states. I slap my hand over my face. Why would he call me to go meet up with Suicune without being notifyed where to meet?

El Paso, TX (KDBC) — Nine Miners logged double-digit minutes Saturday night as Tim Floyd gave his bench extended playing time in a midseason exhibition against Division II Angelo St. that the Rams won 75-70.
UTEP struggled to defend the deep ball as ASU made 11 of 22 three-point attempts. Turnovers also plagued the Miners giving the ball up 15 times, 12 in the first half alone to trail 39-29 at the half.
Vince Hunter led UTEP with 21 points. C.J. Cooper (10) and Cedrick Lang (12) were also double-figure scorers.
Despite the loss, the outcome was not as important as the experience for the UTEP bench who could play a factor when the Miners start conference play next week. Seniors John Bohannon and Justin Crosgile did not play for "disciplinary reason" and UTEP is still without leading scorer McKenzie Moore and Jalen Ragland who are serving an indefinite suspension.
UTEP opens conference play Thursday at home versus C-USA newcomer Charlotte.

I bought the Wide House 5500 last year and it worked out great,but I wanted a little more room and bought the Wide House 6500 this year. After delivery I set it up in the yard and can't believe how much larger it really is. Both the Shappell Wide Houses are great Hub Tents.

An essential hair styling tool
By Gin
from Kirkland QC
The ceramic plates heat up in seconds. The useful temperature control allows this to be used on the finest of hair to the thickest of manes. Its perfect size makes it easy to use, whether you're straightening your hair or making long curls. I would definitely recommend it.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Nice fit nice look.
Love the shirt, very comfortable out of the package and will probably be more comfortable after washing. However I wear normally wear a large size but past experience has told me it is better to order one size larger. The X-large fit my large frame great. So it is best to order up one size on these shirts.
Same thing, experience has told me to order one size larger. If you wear large, order x-large for comfortable fit.
Really like it.

And this time to add to the classiness, they are being marketed as the "Afrika" collection. Please get ready to see self proclaimed, post-racist, ironic hipsters near you wearing this fall trend. You know because this isn't totally racist or anything. This company will never cease to amaze me, in every way.
What other continent is viewed this way? When was the last time you saw a fashion collection of brown bear fur and Celtic prints labeled "Europe!" No one would buy a pan-European marketing ploy that blended Irish culture with prints from animals found in upper Scandinavia and Russia. Such a thing would be foolish. But no one can be bothered to know the difference between Zambia and Mauritania. Africa becomes just a mush of dark tribal folk and wild animals, and suffers the indignity of insensitive marketing all the time. Asia, too, but that's another post.

Southington police are investigating after two bodies were found inside a Cedar Street residence Wednesday afternoon.
Neighbors told Eyewitness News that the bodies of a man and a woman could have been inside the home for days or even weeks.
Property records show the home is owned by a William Gillan Jr.
Police said they were called to the home to perform a wellness check because someone was trying to make a delivery and couldn't make contact with anyone inside.
The person making the delivery also noticed there were a lot of newspapers starting to pile up outside the home.
"Last time, I went past there. I saw a few papers maybe five or six papers on the front steps and thought nothing of it," said neighbor Al Fahnestock. "And then when the ambulance went by yesterday, I walked down and what can I say, 'you just feel bad.'"
When officers arrived, they found the front door locked and called the Southington Fire Department to help them get the door open. Inside, police said they found two people dead.
Detectives with the Southington Police Department, along with investigators with the Connecticut State Police Major Crimes Squad, spent Wednesday night gathering evidence inside the home after the discovery of the bodies.
The identities of the people inside and details on how they died have not been released.
However, neighbors told Eyewitness News they believe the people found dead are the home owner and his mother.
"I always asked him how he was doing and how his mother was doing," Fahnestock said.
Fahnestock said Gillan had been laid off from The Hartford this past summer and now spent his days taking care of his mother, who suffered from dementia. He said his friend had mobility issues himself and walked with a cane.
"As far as I know, he was the sole caregiver to his mom," Fahnestock said. "And yet, if he fell in the house, he was so heavy that if he couldn't get himself up, she couldn't help him."
Fahnestock told Eyewitness News that the last time he say Gillan was about four weeks ago.
"When we used to talk it used to be a good friendly talk and I'll miss that," he said.
Police said they tested the inside of the home and found no elevated levels of carbon monoxide or other dangerous gas.
The office of the chief medical examiner is expected to perform an autopsy on the bodies Friday morning, which will determine their cause of death.

On the first day of my period i have constipation and blood clotting which makes it very painful. However everything lasts for one day and then i get normal periods for 2-3 days.But those 7-8 hours of the first day are very painful. Is it normal? How should it be treated?
Your uterus is filling up with blood and pressing on your transverse colon causing your bowels to slow down and even more cramping.
Try mixing a chamomile tea enema; brew a cup of tea and add it to about a quart of water in a regular normal enema bag. Make sure water is warm not hot this will unclog your bowels and soothe your entire abdominal area.

Even with a rough and late start. Even with the lack of big rain. Even with the lack of tending due to the broken toe. There is food.
What I planted is sort of mingled with what grew on its own. Except for the crabgrass and moss, most of the weeds are edible anyway.
I have a slow drip going at night, using much less water and less evaporation than watering rain style. The scallions are almost as high as an elephant's eye. It is not a hot summer. It's ok.
The boy stopped by to build a little house for wood. It still needs a roof. We decided a few of these would come in handy.
This little cloth is sort of an impression of July. Based on a simple green plan. And then the shift of days woven in. Still there is a calm about it. A pattern of going. It's a timekeeper. It holds shift.

By Susan Jongeneel, University of Illinois
As the weeks continue to pass without any significant rain in the Midwest, it is getting increasingly difficult to find feed for livestock, said University of Illinois assistant professor of animal sciences Dan Shike.
"It's amazing that the poor pasture conditions got almost no media attention," he said. "They were in very poor condition even before the corn crop was, but it just doesn't grab the headlines as much."
Cattle producers are facing some serious challenges. "They're out of grass and out of forage. Other feeds that they might try to buy are in short supply and very expensive," Shike explained. Feed prices are at historic highs, as are many of the grain supplements.
Even ethanol coproducts, such as distillers' grains and corn gluten feed, are becoming more expensive.
Livestock producers are wondering if they can use the drought-stricken corn as feed. Shike says that this is possible if nitrate levels are within acceptable limits. Nitrate levels depend on a number of factors, such as how much fertilizer was applied and at what stage the drought affected the plant. "It is absolutely necessary to test for nitrate," Shike warned.
This year, plants that got rain early in the season seem to have had more nitrogen uptake than plants that were under drought conditions for most of the growing period. "We are getting reports from corn producers that some of the corn that looks the toughest is actually acceptable for nitrate level," he said.
Even if damaged corn can be used for forage, it will not fill the hole in the livestock food supply. Many producers are tapping into the feed stores that they had saved for winter feeding. The availability of coproducts is limited at the moment because some ethanol plants have shut down or are considering doing so. Some of them are not contracting new coproducts until they actually start harvesting the next corn crop.
"It's just a time of real uncertainty," Shike said.
Producers are going to have to make some tough management decisions. "We're encouraging producers who still have calves on cows to consider weaning them early," said Shike. "If you wean the calf, you immediately reduce that requirement on the cow, and if you then take the calves out of the pasture, you take that grazing pressure off." Feeding the calf is usually less expensive than feeding the cow to feed the calf.
Producers have not reached the point where they have to make decisions about culling, which would normally be in the fall. Shike notes that the U.S. beef herd has been dwindling and that many cows were lost to the 2011 drought in the Southwest, bringing beef prices up to historic highs. Extensive culling would make the situation worse.
Shike said that the effects of the drought are likely to be felt for a long time. He suggested some short-term coping strategies but noted that each producer needs to assess his own situation.

Besides great music in various genres, the Hove Festival promises festival goers everything from quirky art scenes to yet-to-be-released movies and even organic food.
For the true festival spirit, you should stay at the festival camp - a large tent camp right in the middle of the festival site, with everything you need within a few hundred metres.
Do you prefer a good night's sleep after a long day of music and dancing? If so, Hove Camping, a 10 minute walk away from the festival grounds, is your choice. This is a large campsite with its own beach. It is also possible to rent a cabin here.
You will also find other types of accommodation in the Arendal region. However you wish to stay, we strongly recommend that you book your accommodation as early as possible.

Events Detail
Hudson Institute-EPPC Summer Movie Series Presents: Three Days of the Condor (1975)
July 18, 2012, 5:30 - 8:30 PM - Hudson Institute, Washington, D.C. Headquarters
In this summer's movie series, EPPC Resident Scholar James Bowman presents five films on the subject of loyalty and betrayal. Spanning nearly 60 years and made in a variety of styles with diverse purposes, all five movies may nevertheless be seen as engaging with E.M. Forster's famous dictum: "If I had to choose between betraying my country and betraying my friend, I hope I should have the guts to betray my country" — words that have haunted the post-war Western world, both in and out of the movies.
The series will take place on successive Wednesday evenings between June 20 and July 25, 2012 (except for the July 4 holiday) at Hudson Institute, 1015 15th Street NW, Sixth Floor, Washington, DC 20005 (McPherson Square Metro).
All movies begin at 5:30 PM and will be followed by a discussion. Pizza, popcorn, candy and drinks will be provided.

A 19-year-old man in critical condition after being hit by a car Wednesday has been identified.
Paul Chapman, 19, was riding his bike and crossing U.S. 70 in Clayton near Moore Street when he was struck by a car, knocked into the west bound lanes and run over by another car.
Chapman is still listed in critical condition at WakeMed. He moved to Clayton from Morganton recently for a job at the shopping center across from where he was hit.
Police say both drivers had the right-of-way and the bicyclist crossed the highway against the light. Neither driver will be charged.

Fireworks tonight at Glendale City Hall as the City Council Votes 3-2 to direct City Attorney to draw up ordinance to ban gun shows at city owned facilities, doing away with the last gun show in all of LA County.
The decision does NOT affect the March gun show
at the Civic Auditorium. A similar motion was denied in 2006.
Dozens of gun owners tried to stop this from going into the agenda, but Councilman Ravi Manoukian -- who suggested the ban -- said that although they made a "compelling" point, he wasn't convinced and put it on the agenda for discussion.
Manoukian has said he was affected by the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting.
Gun supporters counter that the legal event not only brings revenue for the city, but also gives law enforcement the kind of location to see who the buyers are, who is trying anything illegal -- the kind of information they can use to go after "the bad guys."
With yet another shooting in the headlines today, this should be interesting.

Easy Motivation Trick to Reach Your Goal
Written on January 25, 2011 at 1:14 pm , by Lisa Haney
Here's a simple mind trick to help you reach your goal: shoot for round numbers. You'll be more motivated and work harder when your performance is just shy of a round number, according to a new study published in the journal Psychological Science. Here's what researchers found when looking at…
- SAT scores: Students retake the test more often when their scores are just below, rather than just above, a round number.
- Batting averages: Players change up their moves near the end of the season in order to finish just above, rather than just below, .300.
- Hypothetical situations: People say they'll run one more lap around a track when they're close to 20.
It's good to know that my habit of jogging around the block a few times at the end of a run just so I'll have a nice round mile number to put into my training log is just human nature.
How about you? Do you go the extra mile—or lap, or minute—when you're thisclose to a round number in your workout?
What's your current fitness, health, nutrition or life goal?

SPOKANE-- The Spokane Humane Society opened a new spay and neuter clinic Tuesday.
The new clinic replaced one built ten years ago. Veterinarians who work there said the old clinic was too small and could not handle today's demands. Ten years ago, the clinic spayed approximately 1,000 animals a year, compared to 4,600 animals now.
The new facility is named after its primary donor Dorothy May Clark, who died three years ago. Clark left more than $1 million to be divided between the Humane Society and Spokanimal.

It was fun while it lasted but all good things come to an end. The Milwaukee Brewers nine game winning streak by the Padres in San Diego 2-1 Wednesday night. Edinson Volquez, who entered the game 0-3 with an ERA just under 9, held the Brewers scoreless on five hits through seven innings. Marco Estrada nearly matched him but took the loss after giving up a long home run to Carlos Quentin on a hanging curveball. The Padres carried a 2-0 lead into the ninth with closer Houston Street on the mound. Back to back doubles by Carlos Gomez and Yuniesky Betancourt got the Brewers on the board but the game ended when Martin Maldanado was called out for batter interference when he ran into his own chopped ball. The Brewers (11-9) will enjoy a day off in southern California before opening a weekend series against the Los Angeles Dodgers Friday night.

In 2012 we saw long lines at the polls, registration forms discarded, as well as deceptive calls and mailings in over a dozen states. We can do better. We have to get this right.
The FAST Voting Act will make it easier for citizens to exercise their fundamental right -- the right to vote.
Senator Chris Coons
Senator Mark Warner
The Fair, Accurate, Secure & Timely Voting Act
The FAST Voting Act creates a modest competitive states grant program to encourage innovation and electoral reform that will make voting more fair, accurate, secure and timely. The FAST Voting Act incentivizes states to:
- Encourage same-day registration, early voting and no-excuse absentee voting.
- Provide better access to vote for servicemembers, those with disabilities, and voters who don't speak English as a primary language.
- Initiate regular, formal training of election officials.
- Audit the poorest performing polling stations and develop solutions to reduce waiting times.
- Formulate plans in case of natural disaster or catastrophe.

FLUSHING, QUEENS (PIX11)—In one Queens neighborhood, there's warfare over fares -- bus fares. Not due to the fare being too high, but quite the contrary. The fare is only $1.00, and it's causing tensions to rise between two groups of drivers, while leaving thousands of passengers in a danger zone in the middle.
A visit to the corner of Main Street and 41st Avenue in Flushing, Queens shows dozens of people, one by one, handing one-dollar bills to two women on the sidewalk. The women are faretakers for New Oriental Tour, Incorporated, and their receiving money and giving change on the sidewalk without a proper permit is illegal. Where each dollar is being used for, however, is a much bigger problem.
"This kind of mentality," Flushing resident Diane Gallagher told PIX11 News, "should be illegal!" She is one of thousands of passengers who regularly ride in 19-seat minibuses that shuttle local residents among locations in Flushing, Chinatown in Manhattan, and Bay Ridge, Brooklyn and Elmhurst Queens.
Those minibuses, which have operated legally for years, now face competition whose legal status is questionable at best, and in full non-compliance most likely. Large, 59-passenger buses have begun picking up and discharging riders on Main Street in the last two weeks, and they are undercutting longstanding transportation providers in the area.
For years, the minibuses have taken on and dropped off passengers in designated loading zones just off Main Street, but the newly-arrived large buses operate in an no-standing zone on Main Street, where they're more visible, and less costly to ride.
"Oh my God," was the reaction that local city councilmember Peter Koo told PIX11 News he had when the bigger buses arrived late last month. "I thought Main Street's already too crowded for buses to sit and idle for 15 minutes at a time." The councilmember has been working ever since on trying to find a solution that won't upset a longstanding transportation alternative for local residents.
"Everything's filthy, it's dirty," one regular minibus passenger who did not want to give his name said in describing the minibus system, "But the majority of people take it because the amount that you're paying is the same, but you're saving in time [compared to the train]."
He explained how the minibuses have thrived for years because they have traditionally charged the same fare as a single ride subway Metrocard in order to move passengers between locations in a shorter amount of time than the subway.
Most minibuses have charged around $2.50 for a ride from Flushing to Lower Manhattan. That changed when the larger buses showed up, slashing the price to $1.00. The move spawned a fare war, and now the minibuses also charge $1.00 each, which is not enough for most of the minibus operators to break even. Gallagher, one of their loyal customers, suspects something sinister.
"Once they drive [the minibuses] out of business, they will drive the price up, having driven out their competitor," Gallagher said.
The large buses had been shuttles from Flushing to Atlantic City casinos, but federal inspectors shut them down in late May, citing interstate safety and other code violations. So now, those former casino shuttles are carrying out intra-city transit, and in the process are snubbing their noses at local laws.
The owner of the company that owns the large $1.00 buses is Tony Luo, and his office is on 41st Avenue, directly across the street from the minibus loading zone. PIX11 News went to his street level office, which is covered in thick, bulletproof glass. A woman in the office said that Luo was not there, and promised to pass on contact information to him from PIX11 News.
The local councilmember's office said that Luo, an established charter bus owner, had been out of contact ever since his $1.00 buses began showing up. Even though he has not worked with the councilmember or with police, who have ticketed Luo's buses many times for illegal parking and failure by drivers to produce proper identification, the city councilmember vows action against Luo's company, whether or not its owner is cooperative.
"The police and other agencies promised me they will resolve this problem very soon," Councilmember Koo told PIX11 News.
Backing that up was a statement issued to PIX11 News Friday afternoon from the city's department of transportation. "City agencies are initiating an investigation of the situation," DOT spokesperson Nicholas Mosquera said in the statement, "and will pursue relevant legal or regulatory channels, including the possibility of state or federal enforcement."
