I started F14 classes on Monday, August 18 in the graduate program in Applied Mathematics at the University of Tennessee Chattanooga. Things have been going well. I am a TA for Pre-calculus I, and I am also working in the schools math tutoring center (called the math plaza). I'm taking Linear Algebra and Matrix Theory, Probability and Statistics, Techniques of Applied Math, and I'm auditing Real Analysis I, so I have quite a busy semester but it's definitely worth it!!
I feel like there's a lot of overlap in the material I learned in undergraduate studies, especially with Linear and Prob. and Stats, and Analysis is exactly the same. So, as of right now, I feel like SMC really did prepare me for the classes I'm taking, which is nice; I'm not lost in any of classes. Right now in Applied Math we're deriving the heat equation and the wave equation so we can use them later in the semester.
Saint Mike's definitely prepared me for the classes and the work load as of right now is about the same, which is helpful. I'm only really taking 3 classes a semester, while in undergrad studies there were semesters where I was taking 5 courses, so it's more relaxing now, but I'm sure it will pick up, especially with the TA duties.
I am currently pursuing my Ph.D. in Education Research, Measurement, and Evaluation at Boston College, after which I hope to become a director of Institutional Research. I was first introduced to this field at St. Mike's, and after working in higher education for three years between St. Mike's and going to graduate school, this program fits all my interests—I'll work in higher education using survey data of the college or university to analyze and evaluate programs within the school, or the school as a whole. I'm particularly drawn to this field because it applies statistics in what I think of as an interesting and exciting way.
Not only did SMC further develop my interest in mathematics and excitement, it helped me to learn what I really wanted to prioritize in a graduate school. I learned so well in the academic environment at St. Mike's, and knew I wanted a program that was really going to treat me as an individual student, that had small class sizes, and that had professors that had a real interest in their students. This program has been great in catering to my particular interests in Institutional Research, providing me opportunities to work in the IR office at Boston College. I'm excited for what the next few years at BC have in store!
I am currently pursuing my Ph.D. in mathematics at the University of Minnesota. My goal is to be a professor at a small liberal arts college (someplace like Saint Michael's).
Saint Michael's helped me realize that I do not want to teach high school. At Saint Michael's I discovered my love for undergraduate level mathematics. Also the teaching at Saint Michael's is for the students, which helped me to succeed there and inspired me to go further.
I'm in the Entrepreneurship for Science, Technology, and Engineering Masters (ESTEEM) program at Notre Dame. On the top level, the program focuses on bridging the gap between the entrepreneurial/business side of things with the technical/scientific side of things. Most of the students have an engineering, math, or other type of science background with little to no business education. We learn the business essentials and apply them to our technical project. Our thesis is based on the technical project and how we can bring it to market. This follows through with a business plan. My project is a crowd sourcing marketplace for the exchange of deals and offers online. It was essentially a seed of an idea when I got here and I have brought it into the late planning/early developmental phase so far. My adviser is confident that we will be in a beta-launch by the time I'm finished up here. GO IRISH!
I have finished my Master's Program in Economics at UNH in May 2009 and have started the Ph.D. Program at UNH. I have passed all of my qualifying exams and am working on my dissertation. I am majoring in Environmental Economics and my Master's thesis focused on modeling the trends of the New England ski industry to see if climate change has had a significant impact on the industry.
The economics program at UNH relies heavily on mathematical theory. Saint Michael's provided me with the strong foundation I needed to help me excel in this program. I hope to be on the job market next year and graduate in May 2013.
Of course Saint Michael's prepared me very well for graduate school. The challenging courses gave me a taste for what the course load would be like in graduate school; however, the supportive and encouraging faculty gave me the tools I needed to succeed at a high level. I am grateful for my time at Saint Michael's because I was able to work very closely with many of the faculty members on research and projects and what I learned most in their classrooms was that I wanted to do exactly what they do, and become a college professor at a small liberal arts college. Being a professor is about more than just going to class, lecturing, and doing your own research. It is about being a source of knowledge and support for students who are discovering who they are and that they want to do while at the same time ever continuing your own learning journey. I can't think of a better career.
I am currently a graduate student at Colorado State University (CSU) in Fort Collins, CO. In 2008, I had a research assistantship and worked on an interdisciplinary project for the Program in Interdisciplinary Mathematics Ecology and Statistics (PrIMES). We evaluated at the effectiveness of the management strategies for the bison herd at Badlands National Park. The project provided a unique experience to work with graduate students, post-docs, professors, and national park employees of varying disciplines and had the added bonus of resulting in two journal publications.
As a teaching assistant, I have taught my own sections of Differential Equations, Calculus II for the physical sciences, and Calculus I for the biological sciences. I love teaching and, in and out of the classroom, I strive to create an environment similar to what I experienced while at SMC: receptive, comfortable, and engaging.
I received my Masters of Science degree in 2009 and am currently finishing up my Ph.D. I am working with Dr. Jennifer Mueller working in the area of Inverse Problems with a specific interest in Electrical Impedance Tomography (an inexpensive non-invasive imaging modality with no radiation that has promising applications in breast cancer detection and chest imaging).
Upon leaving Saint Mike's I knew my education had been great but I did not realize how wonderful my experience was until I began my graduate classes at CSU. I have since gone on to pass all of my qualifying exams (Real Analysis, Measure Theory, Complex Analysis, Linear Algebra, and Abstract Algebra) on the first attempt.
I am grateful for the fact that at Saint Michael's the professors (math especially) were very willing to meet with you outside of office hours and that the focus was on your education (not their individual research and publishing goals). I also appreciate the independent studies work that I did with Professor Kadas throughout my senior year, and her encouragement of my presenting at the Hudson River Undergraduate Mathematics Conference. As well, I value the opportunity I had to pursue a summer research project with Professor Ellis-Monaghan and Professor Pangborn. Learning how to use LaTeX then has proved extremely beneficial in my graduate studies.
As a student of Dr. Mueller at CSU, I have had many opportunities to attend and participate in conferences and workshops in some amazing places. In the fall of 2010, I spent three weeks at MSRI in Berkeley, California during a semester focused on Inverse Problems. MSRI is an amazing place that brings together the world's finest minds in a given area and hosts workshops where their knowledge can be shared with graduate students and anyone interested in learning. I have also attended AIPC 2011 at Texas A&M, ICIAM 2011 in Vancouver, British Columbia CA, and a summer school at FICS in Helsinki, Finland in 2010.
In December, I am headed back to Helsinki, Finland to participate in Inverse Days 2011. I strongly feel that my liberal arts education at SMC has allowed me to excel in networking and communication in my post-undergraduate mathematics career. Being able to do great math is wonderful, but being able to do great math and communicate it effectively is rare. SMC prepares students for both.
I am a MSc Candidate in Physical Oceanography at Memorial University of Newfoundland in the Canada Glacial Systems Dynamics Working Group.
I am currently attempting to test and to help develop data assimilation methodologies that will assist in quantifying the uncertainties induced by the approximations needed to parameterize Earth Systems models. This information would allow these models to be more effective in assessing the potential range of future climate states.
An understanding of and competency in the fundamentals of "higher" mathematics seems to be invaluable in any scientific activity, with knowledge of Linear Algebra definitely counting as a fundamental skill. The only reason Professor Jim Hefferon's book isn't permanently on my desk is that my officemates keep borrowing it.

Hi world, just checking in with a fun little update for you. I've been working hard on a few new projects, so here we go!
In April, I joined the People's Improv Theater sketch comedy house team SLAP FIGHT. We have shows every third Tuesday of the month at 8 p.m. Our next show is on Tuesday, June 11, and IT WILL BE EPIC!
SLAP FIGHT also dabbles in improv. Our first improv show as a team is on Monday, June 24 at 9:30 p.m. at The People's Improv Theater, just in time for the Del Close Marathon, where we'll be performing on June 28 at 10:15 p.m. at Theater 80. I plan to be very drunk that entire weekend, so I kindly request that you lower your expectations in advance.
Around the same time I joined SLAP FIGHT, I also started teaching as part of an incredible children's writing program called Writopia. I'm thrilled to be teaching the next generation of literary superstars.
In other "this makes me really happy" news, I recently signed a contract to do some blogging for truTV. You know how I always say snarky things about people who do dumb things? Well, now I get to do it on behalf of a TV network!
I'm also helping develop and produce a comedy mockumentary, with appearances from many of your favorite comedians - I'll have lots and lots of details about this passion project soon! In fact, I'll have so many details some of you will end up contacting me, and saying things like, "Whitney, you mind cooling it with the details of this project?" and I'll say "No way," and you'll be like, "Well I wasn't serious anyway because THIS PROJECT IS AWESOME."
I may also be producing another web series in the near future, but I haven't secured the details of that project, so right now it's all hush hush. So, HUSH already, why don't ya? Just kidding. You can talk as much as you want.
That's all! Hope your summer is off to a great start, too!

A Clarksdale, Mississippi woman says she wants her son back, and she doesn't believe she is getting the truth or the full story from the Walls Mississippi's Police Department.
James Irby Jr. disappeared on May 4th after a traffic stop in Walls.
The family says they were told that James Irby Jr. ran from police during a traffic stop. The family says, among other things, they don't believe that. They claim James Irby Jr. couldn't have run.
Ethel Allen recounts the last time she talked to her son James on the phone on May 4th. James was on the way to Clarksdale for a Funeral.
"He was at Walls, Mississippi. He got stopped by the police and the policeman talked to me, he told me that James had told him everything and that it was true and he was going to give him a ticket and that he was going to let him come to the funeral so that's the last I know. Then police called again and told me that James had run cross the highway said he didn't tase him going across the highway, but he tased him as he got across the highway," says Ethel.
Ethel Allen says she was told by Walls P.D. that her son ran through a field near Church and Highway 61 before pausing near two trees and disappearing into a swamp, he hasn't been seen since.
James' mom says, "I just want my son, I don't care if he is dead or alive, but we don't know they ain't tellin' us nothin."
According to Allen, the officer who stopped her son told her James ran when the officer found two small bags of marijuana in his car. She doesn't believe that her son ran, she said he had gout and prostate cancer and couldn't have run that far. "James couldn't run that far on his foot…he couldn't run that far.
People say marijuana is good for the pain in the body and the marijuana he had it in a two little bags a little in each bag, it wasn't for sale cuz if he was gonna sell it he would have already had it fixed up."
Allen says after James disappeared, Walls PD says they conducted a search and the family conducted several searches of their own.
He said they called the search team in and dogs and said the dogs said they took it far as the water and that was it.
"I done had all my grandchildren, great grandchildren and nephews out there walking the fields and the swamps and they ain't seen no sign of them," says Allen.
Walls Police Department has not returned our phone call in regard to the disappearance of Mr. Irby; the NAACP is assisting his family at this point and is reporting their findings to the State of Mississippi.

But experience shows that it is not possible to reason with 'deniers', and for that reason I'm probably not going to stay in this discussion for much longer.
Thank y'all for listening!

I admit that I don't understand why secrecy would need to be part of such a breakthrough, but perhaps you can help to shed some light on the matter? I for one would truly enjoy it if you chose to press the bounds here a bit and share your views and experiences. This is hardly something I don't WANT to believe, I just... well... I'm a skeptic. Not a cynic... a skeptic, and while I may not be convinced, I am open to anything you have to say.
I don't care if it's a fallacy or not, I respect your authority and credentials, and would dearly love to know more of your thoughts on the matter. I for one promise to be respectful and honest, and while I can't promise belief, I promise to listen and read anything you recommend.
Again, I hope you accept my apology, but if not please don't let my previous callous and thoughtless comment (or those of any other) deter you. I for one would be happy to dig through a mountain of noise for any signal you care to offer.
Mar28-11, 04:23 AM
Re the points you have raised, the secrecy issue can be readily explained. The situations of the scientist and of the entrepreneur are rather different. On the whole, secrecy is not so important for scientists, though even there esteem, funding and promotions etc. are to a large extend dependent upon being the first to publish so it helps if your competitors don't know exactly what you are doing. The situation of the entrepreneur is that he wants to make money (and Rossi says he has sold his assets to fund his development himself so he will not be controlled by others, which he has had problems with in the past, so he definitely needs to sell his reactors to get his personal finances in good shape), and if he has discovered some trick, e.g. a special catalyst in the Rossi case, he does not want other people to know the secret so that they can duplicate his invention.
Actually Rossi has indicated he will divulge all the details at some future date, which I assume means he is only interested in recovering his financial situation and then he does not mind so much what happens.
I disagree with your statement that the mechanism is what counts. Take for example aspirin. This was used as a drug long before the mechanism was understood -- what mattered was that it cured your headache or whatever. Similarly with the Rossi reactor, as long as it produces cheap energy, that is what is primarily important.
As regards repeatability, Levy has commented that he is impressed by the fact that he has done 3 tests and it has worked every time. But presumably Rossi thinks it is reliable or he would not be planning to sell reactors. He has said that payment doesn't have to be made till the buyer is satisfied that the reactor works, and he would bear the losses if it did not work.
A point needs to be emphasised re the tests. It is not necessary to look at the innards of the device because all that is involved is the conservation of energy -- if cold water goes in and it comes out say 5 deg. hotter, its energy has been increased and must come from somewhere. The question then is whether there can be an internal energy supply. People studied the data of the first investigation and concluded that just possibly, if Rossi were cheating, he could have had some kind of burner inside to produce that energy. Modifications were suggested to deal with this issue. The second test included these modifications and the situation now seems satisfactory. You can see the details in Jed Rothwell's bulletin at http://www.lenr-canr.org/News.htm (I trust the moderators will allow this link to be posted), which gives a number of other links for details. There is a Wikipedia page 'Rossi reactor' which gives many other references.
Re the 'denier' issue, I wonder how many of the sceptics here have read up the details of the Rossi reactor. Do they, à la Weinberg in regard to ESP, 'know' that low energy nuclear reactions are impossible and so they need not study the purported evidence? Have they heard that the Pons-Fleischmann expt. was flawed and take that to be gospel truth? Do they take the fact that the papers on LENR are published in journals other than the esteemed Nature and Science as proof that there is no good work in the field? etc. etc.
For those who are interested in looking below the surface re LENR, I can recommend Ed Storms' lecture on YouTube, and there's also my own lecture.
Mar28-11, 04:45 AM
Here is Jed Rothwell's analysis:
After the 18-hour test, Prof. Levi said "In my opinion, all chemical sources are now excluded." See:
I agree with him. The reasons are a little complicated and take some time to explain. If you will bear with me --
Before the first test, Levi looked around the outside of the device. In the photo you can see the machine is mounted on a wooden stand, which was placed on a table at an odd angle. The mounting gives you clear access to the bottom. You can see there are no wires or pipes going into it. The odd angle of the stand also happens to ensure that. The stand can be moved around and pushed back and forth, so you could not secretly mate a wire or pipe to it.
The control box wires are ordinary household wiring. Above 3 kW they will burn [comment: that is for US electricity supply I assume, but even at 240V ordinary wiring would be pressed to carry 10kW without getting rather hot]. That excludes electricity as the source of the heat, even if we do not trust the power meter. (The power meter was an ordinary, off-the-shelf watt-meter, placed between the wall socket and the control box, so there is no way odd power forms might fool it. It resembles a Kill-a-watt: http://www.p3international.com/produ.../P4400-CE.html)
Before the second test, Levi was more careful. He opened up the control box and confirmed there was no hidden source of fuel, he looked around the outside of the machine, and he also looked inside it. He looked everywhere but inside the cell itself, which is about 1 L in volume. (He now plans to open the cell and examine the Ni catalyst with mass spectroscopy, but that has not happened yet. More about that below.)
So, we know there is not external electricity of fuel. If there is a chemical source of energy secreted in the cell, it has to fit into 1 L. It would have to produce as much energy as 26 kg of gasoline, which takes up about 35 L. I do not think that any chemical fuel is as energy-dense as this. If Rossi has discovered one, it is nearly as extraordinary and important as cold fusion.
Needless to say, no battery could come anywhere near this. Batteries are far less energy dense in volume and mass than liquid fuel.
Furthermore, as a practical matter, all types of liquid fuel require some sort of tank, regulator and burner. Solid fuel such a coal or solid rocket fuel can be ignited and it may burn at a constant rate, although it is difficult to control. Liquid or gas requires hardware, especially a burner, like this one:
To produce a 15 kW flame, you could never fit the burner part into 1 L, never mind the fuel. This is more heat than a large 50-gallon gas water heater produces. Look under a water heater and you will see a burner and flame take up many liters of space.
Another problem is that the 1 L cell is gas tight. The hydrogen tank did not lose pressure or outgas, and the weight of it did not change. There are no visible holes in the cell. So you have to supply both fuel and oxygen. So it would have to be not 35 times better than gasoline (by volume) but ~100 times better. Add in the equipment you need to regulate the flame and it would have to be thousands of times better.
Finally, as a practical matter, any liquid, gas or even solid fuel placed in a such a small container, and ignited to produce 15 kW, would explode. It would be a bomb.
Let me get back to Levi's future plans. As I mentioned above, he plans to run the machine for a while, and then open the cell and examine the nickel catalyst, which he will compare to an unused sample. Rossi has reportedly given the university a 1 million grant for this project, and Levi plans to cooperate with CERN for the mass spectroscopy. (Rossi is wealthy from his previous business ventures. He has spent at least another 1 million on his research.)
Obviously, if there is some sort of extraordinary chemical fuel in the cell, or if Rossi managed to hide wires or a fuel pipe despite the despite the outward appearance of the machine, the fake nature of the machine will be obvious the moment they look inside the cell.
If there is no nuclear reaction going on inside the cell, the mass spec analysis will reveal that fact. As far as I know, all cold fusion cathodes that produced large amounts of heat had transmuted elements in them, with unnatural isotopic ratios. So, if they run the machine for a few months, and produce several thousand megajoules per gram of nickel, even if it is the hydrogen which is reacting (fusing) I am pretty sure there will be transmuted byproducts of the reaction in the metal, and this will be indisputable proof that the machine is a nuclear reactor, not a chemical cell.
The point is, Rossi himself is not only allowing this test, he is paying for it! If he were a faker or scammer, the last thing he would do is allow experts from a university and CERN to open up his cell, look inside, and take samples of the material for analysis. There is no conceivable "fake" cell that would not be detected by these methods.
1. Based on the physical size of the cell, the fact that it is gas-tight, and the intensity of the heat, we can rule out any chemical source of fuel.
2. Based on common sense, we can conclude that Rossi is not a scammer. He would not take steps that will reveal his own scam, especially not at a cost of 1 million to himself.
Let me add that the calorimetry is so simple and the heat measured is so hight that I do not think any method of faking it is possible. People have said that Rossi might be a sleight of hand stage magician who fools people. A stage magician fools the human senses, especially sight, by distraction and various other methods. No stage magician in history has ever fooled a thermocouple or flowmeter. Instruments are totally immune to the kinds of tricks they use. If Rossi has supplied the instruments we might imagine he changed them, but Levi brought them from the university. In any case, the heat was palpable, and with the input electricity it would not have been.
Finally, getting back to point #2 above, if Rossi were a stage magician, why would he now be taking steps that ensure his trick will be revealed, he will be disgraced, and he will forfeit 1 million? What stage magician would do such a thing? Why?!? It makes absolutely no sense.
I think we can decisively rule out the chemical fuel hypothesis.

Can I confirm this thread is still running on opinion?
He may be genuine, he may not be. He may simply be mistaken (doesn't have to mean he's a fraud if he's wrong). Personally, I haven't seen anything here that confirms cold fusion outside of people saying "well we can't see how it could do it otherwise, it must be".
So far, common sense puts me on guard - the links show he wants to produce 300,000 reactors a year, so is he already planning to go ahead without knowing if he is truly mistaken or not?
Mar28-11, 08:54 AM
@jarednjames: Rossi has presumably done enough tests (and has also had his conclusions checked by independent researchers) to be convinced that it is OK to go ahead. What more should he do, wait till the cows come home? And there has been no evidence against so far.
The observation that Cu is produced indicates a nuclear reaction is involved. Some people object to the specific word 'fusion', which has led to a general preference for the less committal 'low energy nuclear reaction' (LENR).
Mar28-11, 11:36 AM
Observing a demonstration =/= a test being done independently and scrutinized. Your above post does show some scrutiny of the device, so it is something of a plus.
So far, no matter where I search I'm always finding the same stories / details, nothing that appears remarkably independent (everything revolves around news stories). The fact they're also keeping other details so secret (despite it being so widly publicised they created it) simply makes me suspicious. Why? Credit is guaranteed if it works so let others test it. If they are genuine and it really works, independent study will only serve to boost its status and increase the chances of it being published.

2) Levy is independent. His report of his first investigation can be found at
and here are comments by him on the second test:
http://www.nyteknik.se/nyheter/energ...cle3108242.ece. This may not be a report as such, but at least it is a clear statement by the person who did the test.
3) I am getting tired of explaining to people why the secrecy is not suspicious (does nobody take note of what I say?)
4) if a flaw were discovered in the way the excess heat is measured, that would be evidence against the claim. If you can't find a flaw then the claim stands.
Mar28-11, 02:06 PM
I completely understand why people want secrecy, but you can't have secrecy and have acceptance of your claims without a lot more legwork. Hopefully to come (skeptical I may be, but I'd really like this to be true).
If you don't allow other people to setup and do the experiments, independently, then you drastically reduce the chances of finding a flaw.
What I'm seeing (as with a lot of claims such as this), is "I have done X. To do X you need a, b and c, but I'm keeping c secret. Now prove there's a flaw." - which any reasonable person would point out is virtually impossible without knowing what's happening.

There is definitely a big difference between the worlds of industry and academia. Secrecy is always a concern in industry. That much I can say for certain.
It is also true that patents are often only as good as the lawyers hired to defend them. Patents can be all but useless.

I wouldn't need to examine the catalyst, just isolate the entire device, isolate total input, and total sustained output. That would be a very good start, and from my simple point of view, it's what you're arguing HAS happened. I gather the other side is that without looking at the guts of this thing, maybe it isn't what it appears to be. I can't say, only read what you have to say and consider it as I would any other claim.
I admit, if I were Rossi I'd have found a major government and contracted with them, demo'ed this on television, and to a select few. With something this enormous, I don't know that individual secrecy is an option, even if it is reasonable.
This to me, is more like being handed a closed box that does what is advertised. Each time I see the box, even though it works, I have no idea if it's willow bark or an onion each time, or if it's just box covering a huge vat of neosporin. Has Rossi created a generator... you've convinced me that he has. Has Rossi created cold fusion?... I don't know, because it's still a closed box... could be a mix of capacitors, batteries... or magic for all I know! He's produced Soylent Green, but why is it so nutritious and tasty?... I'd like to know if it's a special new concoction, or if it's people.
My state is conditional; no particular distrust, just a reaction to evidence as it's provided.
Rather, this is a mystery to me, and may remain so. When Rossi begins to make sales, then unlike your fear that people like me would say "one more kW or I won't believe you," I'd be impressed. It's the essential public proof of concept that matters most in my view, even if it can't be scaled. Nobody is whining that the NIF only fuses a tiny hohlraum of Deuterium and Tritium, the concept is there.

Some quick points in response: whether the energy is nuclear or not doesn't matter from the practical point of view. What matters is that if the device continues to work (and it has been known in the past that something like a change in supplier makes a process suddenly stop working) then, when you put the numbers in, this is very cheap energy using small amounts of fuel that is plentiful and non-polluting, just what we need.
That sounds too good to be true of course, but if you study the details you are pretty well compelled to this conclusion. It must be pointed out that people in the field are every bit as critical as you guys, and there were initial doubts, but these were resolved by the 2nd. expt. I see a lot of you pulling problems out of the air but these do not fit with the facts.
Mar28-11, 02:58 PM
I'll just add that Rossi does have a buyer, Defkalion Green Technologies of Athens (where there is less red tape than in most places it seems), and the 1MW reactor will go to them after it has been demonstrated in the US. Presumably there is a contract which does have this clause about money not being handed over until the customer is satisfied that it works.
Also, there have been occasional reports of large energy releases in LENR expts. (including the Mizuno expt. where water unexpectedly rose rapidly in temperature till it boiled and there was an explosion, with the recording apparatus recording what happened right up to the explosive event). So what Rossi has done is not completely new, just a matter of finding the right conditions. Also, I have to point out that while this development has not been published in the journals, earlier work by Rossi and Forcardi has been.
Mar28-11, 05:54 PM
From their website (well the one page that is it):
Mar28-11, 05:56 PM
That there is a buyer is very interesting, and the red tape I assume would be related to safety, not efficacy, so it probably has no bearing on the validity of the device. Thank you very much for sharing this information, and I'd say more, but I really do have to read more of what you mentioned, including previously published results. Certainly cold fusion is nothing I've studied in depth beyond its use as an object lesson, a bit like the boogyman. As I'm willing to research even such topics as religion, this is surely no less deserving of exploration, and unlike religion, seems likely to yield SOME answer within our lifetimes. (bit of dry humor on my part, sorry)
After all, should this work, we'll be in a fairly brave new world, and shold it fail it would be dissapointing, but still an answer for the time being.

CEDAR LAKE | Linda Brumbaugh, who sponsored and is the 8th grade American History teacher, took ninety-four (94) 8th and 7th grade students, along with staff members and parents, from Hanover Central Middle School to Washington D.C. and Gettysburg, PA. October 17th-21st.
Classroom time prior to the trip had been spent learning about the monuments and the history behind each one of them and students learned about the Tomb of The Unknown Soldier by guest speaker, Ted Henderson, who had been a guard at the tomb.
Besides visiting all of the monuments, we toured our Nation's Capitol, Supreme Court and the Library of Congress, but the highlight of our trip, was laying a wreath at the Tomb of The Unknown Soldier. These students representing Hanover Central Middle School were: Eric Lakomek, Ryan Hinton, Victoria Pena, and Allison Novorita.
We then traveled to Gettysburg, PA where students enjoyed learning about the town and battle that took place 150 years ago, and visiting the cemetery where President Abraham Lincoln gave his famous speech.
After returning home, Mrs. Brumbaugh said that " students were eager to share their experiences with others in the classroom, and we will continue to use this information as we study more about our nation."

Not having had loud music in our household for many years, nor complaints about food or following the rules and other crises associated with growing up, I was amused when a friend passed along the following items of wisdom.
• We spend the first two years of our children's lives teaching them to walk and talk and the next 16 telling them to sit down and shut up.
• The purpose of hosting children's parties is to remind us that there are children more awful than our own.
• Mothers of teenagers now know why some animals eat their young.
• If you have a lot of tension and get a headache, do what it says on the aspirin bottle: "take two aspirin" and "keep away from children."
• Grandchildren are God's reward for not killing our own children.
• We childproofed our home, but they are still getting in.
But we should all take this advice: Be nice to your kids. They will be choosing your nursing home one day.
OK, summer school
It was not my intention to provide summer school offerings to those who read this column weekly for its educational value.
But so many of you have informed me you flunked last week's three-question final exam that I feel obligated to pass along information of educational value at least through the month of June. So here goes — now absorb.
n The dot over the letter "i" is called a tittle.

Oyster Show
Paula goes to the shores of South Carolina, in a quest for oysters. On a boat she goes to catch an oyster dinner and makes a tasty Oyster Bisque.
Oyster Bisque
- Paula recommends keeping the bottle of sherry off to the side when you serve your Oyster Bisque; not everyone wants the same amount of sherry in their soup.
Char Grilled and Scalloped Oysters
- You must keep close watch on your grilling oysters or they'll come out too dry and small if left to grill too long.
Lemon Meringue Pie
- Always make sure that you check every egg you use very carefully in this recipe for cracks or defects, since you don't bake, but refrigerate this pie. You don't want to get any kind of food poisoning.
Paula's Tips
Paula offers a different sauce to make for your Oysters, called a Mignonette sauce. Combine shallots or purple onion with red wine vinegar and a lot of fresh, cracked black pepper to create an Oyster sauce that's virtually calorie free.

Tis the season to be imbibing. (Responsibly, of course). As you sip one of your favorite vintages, or saunter up to the saloon for a cocktail, you might pause and consider: This is the best of times for booze. The days of Schlitz or a bad blush wine — remember White Zin? — are long past. Whether it's an artisanal Vermont ale, an offbeat French appellation, or a concoction whipped up by a new breed of bartender in New York and Boston, wine and spirits have rarely seen better days. Sure, it might have been fun to toss 'em back in the Jazz Age or take in a three-martini lunch, Don Draper style,. but, dear drinker, your time is now.
Wine drinkers in particular have reason to rejoice, as Paul Lukacs writes in his informative new book, "Inventing Wine: A New History of One of the World's Most Ancient Pleasures." The early 21st century is a golden age for wine. "Quality used to solely come from select European regions, but it now can be found all over the world. Good wine is available at every price level, enabling people up and down the economic ladder to enjoy it." Tastes may vary—drinking wine is, after all, a very subjective experience — but nowadays decent, drinkable, chemically sound wines are the rule, not the exception.

With three-quarters of Georgia's 2013 legislating days now done, the General Assembly should resolve to do whatever's necessary to ensure comprehensive ethics reform becomes law his year. This important topic for Georgians and for our state's system of government cannot fall by the wayside.
That means no "Oops" moments, legislative missteps of various sort or last-minute sleight-of-hand maneuvers should derail the cause of strengthening laws around how lobbyists interact with elected officials. Our state deserves better — the people have made that abundantly clear. An ethics law with teeth should be headed toward Gov. Nathan Deal for signing into law by the time the final gavel falls — this year.
We're at least halfway there already, and lawmakers seem to have taken to heart the advisory questions from the July ballot that showed a tsunami of support for substantive change.
The Georgia Senate is expected as soon as this week to take up the cause of ethics by considering House Bill 142, which passed the House by a vote of 164-4 on Feb. 25. That date should be outlined in bold when historians write future works about state government.
There's been a lot said about ethics during this year's session of the General Assembly. Early on, it seemed as though the Senate and House were in a race to see which chamber would act first. By that measure, the Senate won, overwhelmingly passing a rule on Day 1 that lowered a $100 cap onto lobbyist expenditures. The rule contained sizable loopholes, among them the provision that lobbyists can expend $100 on senators as many times as they want, as long as no single gift exceeds that amount. The Senate rule shortcomings led House Speaker David Ralston, R-Blue Ridge, to famously quip that it was more of "a visor" than a cap. He had a point.
Such political jockeying is the way of politics. It's acceptable, and can be entertaining at times — as long as the people's important work gets done by the time the cry of Sine Die echoes in the legislative halls. Improving Georgia's rules around ethical behavior by lawmakers and lobbyists must get done.
It should prove no big deal then that Ralston has different ideas than the Senate about what constitutes ethics reform. After feeling considerable heat over a lobbyist-paid trip to Europe, Ralston now favors a total ban on gifts to individual lawmakers. That seemingly absolute stance is tempered by significant exceptions. It would be permissible, for example, to buy food for an entire committee, or for colleges to offer a single ticket annually to all state legislators for a sporting event.
House and Senate leaders deserve credit for hearing the voice of Georgians and for acting to tighten up free-flowing lobbyist spending at the Gold Dome. Their next act is to reconcile among the two chambers what change looks like.
All of which now leaves the state at the point where the final stages of wrangling will take place as lawmakers seek to craft final legislation that can draw sufficient votes to pass. In our view, we're happy to take a wait-and-see posture and see what do's and don'ts emerge at the end. We will note that public opinion on the final product will be heavily influenced by just how many loopholes and exceptions are contained in the final bill. Also included should be appropriate oversight and resources to ensure compliance.
The end result must be a significant reform in the current way of lobbying at the state capitol. The cause of good governance demands that.
Legislators have wisely acknowledged the wish of Georgians on the broader point above. Ethics reform cannot succeed if they lose attention to the details in the final days of the session.

In the tradition of black church, "I feel my help coming this afternoon." Somewhere I've read, we have no government armed with the power capable of contending with human passion unchecked by morality and religion. Our government was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.

@9:22am- How easy is it? It's as easy as the officers and anyone pursuant thereto to faithfully adhere to policy, rules, and regulations set forth by our Police Departments, especially the Los Angeles Police Department. Everyone knows that there is a thin blue line in our government and within any area of employment in our country.
Everyone is aware of what the policy, rules, regulations, or addendums are. But the thin blue line trumps each of them. It gives everyone involved cover for overt criminal activity. And if the thin blue line is violated, your name might be taken away. Or you may be imprisoned, or killed. Don't take my word for it, just ask Journalist Susan Lindauer, Sheriff Derwin Brown, Officer Christopher Dorner, or just be honest with the man in the mirror…

As long as Mr Deal is Gov of Ga, there will be no Ethics Bill with any bite. Do you really think he is going to install a group that can bring charges that might put him in jail? All of the GOP in Ga would be waiting on a trial of some sort if we had a REAL Ethics Board.

"…public opinion on the final product will be heavily influenced by just how many loopholes and exceptions are contained in the final bill."
Then avoid loopholes and exceptions altogether by making the rule NO GRATUITIES … period. Anything other than that and the public will just suspect more sleight of hand.

What part of "NO GIFTS" do they not understand? No gifts = None plus no exemptions/loopholes! As to travel expenses, have the house and senate budget an amount for the legislators to formally request approval of the governor's office to use. Have the funds budgeted by the ratio of party members elected from each party so that one party does not "bogart" the fund. Where should some of the budgeted money come from? How about lobbyist license fees???? Expense request forms and expense reports can be used …just like at the Department level…to document the requests, approvals, and expenditures! See that was easy!

This is laughable. It didn't take very long for the 1970 implementation of mandatory integration in the south to soil the people, especially African Americans. It was commonly known in our community that it had already soiled virtually all of the people in the north, especially African Americans. With this understanding, how can any sane person genuinely seek ethic reform in our system of government?
Ethic reform is relevant only if we have moral politicians and citizens. The mark of integration has virtually reduced all of our politicians and citizens to dogs, damned sinners. Given this reality, Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ would say, do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.

For honest legislators, writing an ethics bill is simple. In one sentence, "No lobbyist or anyone else may give a state or local politician anything at anytime for any reason." After all, we elect politicians to serve us, not to be served by others who would buy their votes. The current version in the legislature still is too loose and makes a mockery of what a clean and decent law ought to be. The law must allow no gifts for anyone, even a hamburger, because once something is allowed, the door is open and soon is letting in all manner of loopholes and exceptions. Shut the door to all and let the legislators do their jobs with the facts supplied by their staff members. It's easy, and those who disagree should resign and go back home.

Webgame Wednesday: Little Wheel
Most point-and-click adventures are dull affairs, rewarding blind poking more than anything. But Little Wheel is something altogether different. First of all, the story is an interesting one. You play a robot who must reactivate his mechanical brethren after centuries of deep sleep. Second of all, the shadow-puppet animation is fluid and quite gorgeous. Finally, the game itself is a great deal of fun, feeling far more interactive and action-packed than most games of this type. The whole thing won't take you ten minutes to solve, but its a satisfying little sci-fi journey.

snitching = when police or prosecutors offer a deal to criminal suspects in exchange for information or cooperation
Criminal informants are an influential part of the American criminal process. Every year, the government makes thousands of deals with criminal offenders in exchange for information. That information affects every aspect of the system, from investigations to arrests, prosecutions, and sentencing. These deals also result in leniency or even freedom for thousands of informant-offenders. Yet these important decisions are largely informal, unregulated, and secretive.
This website provides educational information about all aspects of criminal informant use, law, and policy. It is for litigators, legislators, non-profit organizations, researchers, journalists, and the general public. It does a number of things:
- Resources. SNITCHING.ORG provides resources for individuals, lawyers, law enforcement, legislators, and others who want information about the law and public policies associated with snitching. Under the "Litigation" and "Legislation" tabs, there are links to sample court filings, state and federal legislation, government documents, reports, and other educational information. SNITCHING.ORG does not provide legal advice.
- The big picture. SNITCHING BLOG continues to offer ongoing news analysis, legal commentary, cultural insights, and discussions of how snitching affects the criminal system and the lives of ordinary people. A more complete story can be found in my book, SNITCHING: CRIMINAL INFORMANTS AND THE EROSION OF AMERICAN JUSTICE (New York University Press, 2009) (you can read the Introduction for free through the link at the right), and the books, articles, films, and resources listed under the "Resources & Scholarship" tab.
- Education for families and youth. Have you or a family member been affected by criminal informant policies? Perhaps your child felt pressured into becoming an informant. Or maybe a relative was convicted of a crime based on the unreliable testimony of a criminal snitch. People from all walks of life have begun speaking out about these experiences — you can find their stories and other information under the "Families & Youth" tab.
Criminal informant policies have costs as well as benefits. On the one hand, informants can be powerful investigative tools against organized crime, gangs, corporate fraud, and corrupt political practices. But many informants get away with serious crimes while they are cooperating with the goverment, while numerous innocent people have been convicted based on unreliable information from informants. Sometimes vulnerable people are unfairly pressured into becoming informants, with devastating consequences for them and their families. Finally, in some high-crime neighborhoods criminal snitching can be so pervasive that it affects the safety of innocent residents. All too often, the public does not know the true extent of these costs.
In 2009, I started SNITCHING BLOG. Since then, I have heard from many parents, lawyers, government officials, reporters and advocates that the blog and its resources have been helpful to them. This site expands on the blog with the same goal: to promote better understanding of this important and problematic feature of our criminal justice process.

News Release
Sergeant Michael B. Webb
Kentucky State Police
Public Affairs Branch
Office (502) 782-1780
Richmond Resident Awarded Governor's Medal of Valor
Date of News Release: 12/22/2005
Governor Ernie Fletcher presented Kentucky State Police Captain William Sullivan, a Richmond resident, with "The Governor's Medal of Valor" on Dec. 20 in Frankfort. Sullivan was one of five KSP troopers to receive the award.
Governor Fletcher bestowed the award on Sullivan for heroic acts during a hostage rescue in Cumberland County on September 23, 2003.
"There have only been 11 recipients of this award in the history of the Kentucky State Police; today we add five new names to that list," said Governor Fletcher. "These officers have distinguished themselves by the heroic acts that they carried out under the most extreme circumstances. Their direct and brave actions not only distinguished themselves amongst their fellow officers, but also saved the lives of the victims involved in each of their uncommon situations. The character and professionalism of these officers is a testament for every member of the Kentucky State Police. I am proud to know that the commonwealth is made safer each day by selfless individuals, driven to serve, such as these fine officers."
The Governor's Medal of Valor is the highest honor that can be bestowed upon an officer of this agency for conspicuous heroism in the line of duty under circumstances of extreme personal hazard and is award only by order of the Governor of the Commonwealth. KSP policy requires:
- The officer acted in the face of extreme personal danger without hesitation or regard for his own life and well being.
- Said officer undertook the action willingly and with full knowledge of the grave risks attendant thereto.
- Said act of heroism was so clearly above and beyond the call or risk of ordinary duty and so conspicuous an example of personal courage that any lesser award would be considered both inadequate and inappropriate.
"This is a proud day for the men and women of the Kentucky State Police," remarked KSP Commissioner Mark L. Miller. "Although troopers do not perform their duties seeking praise, recognition or award, some acts, such as those recognized today, are clearly above and beyond the call or risk of ordinary duty and deserve public acknowledgement."
A 19-year KSP veteran, Sullivan is a native of Corbin, Ky. He is a 1979 graduate of Corbin High School and a 1984 graduate of Eastern Kentucky University.

Support for the HPV Toolkit is provided by Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp., a subsidiary of Merck and Co., Inc.
At any point in time, around 1% of the US population is estimated to have anogenital warts.21 Overall, it has been estimated that 6% of US residents report a history of genital warts.1 Warts vary in appearance: most lesions are external and can be raised (i.e.,"cauliflower" formation) or flat, single or multiple, small or large. Typically, warts are asymptomatic but sometimes itch, bleed, or cause irritation.1 Warts can be found in multiple anogenital sites including the vulva, vagina, cervix (less common), penis (including under the foreskin in uncircumcised ales), scrotum, urethra, anus, and perineum.22 The groin and lower abdomen can be involved, but this is uncommon.
Visual inspection by an experienced clinician usually is sufficient for accurate diagnosis. However, biopsy sometimes is required if the visual diagnosis is uncertain or for lesions that are uncharacteristic in appearance (e.g., pigmented or ulcerated).22 The currently available HPV tests are not approved or recommended for diagnosis of warts. Application of acetic acid, which has been promoted as a diagnostic aid by highlighting the wart-involved tissues, is neither sensitive nor specific, and is not recommended.21
The goal of treatment is to eliminate warts. While it is possible that doing so helps prevent transmission by reducing the HPV viral load, this is speculative. No available therapy has been shown to cure HPV infection or reduce the risk of transmission, in part because the virus typically is also present in skin or mucosa that appears normal, without visible warts.
There are numerous therapeutic options for genital warts, including both provider- and patient-directed treatments. No single approach to treating warts is universally superior. The selection of a treatment option is influenced by factors that include size of warts, anatomic site, number and distribution of lesions, as well as provider and patient preferences.22 Warts eventually regress naturally, sometimes within a few months, so a "watchful waiting" approach occasionally is appropriate. Recurrences are not uncommon, especially in the first 3 months following therapy. With the exception of surgery or other forms of direct destruction or removal, all recommended treatments are only 60% to 80% effective in ablating warts, and none are more effective than others in preventing recurrence.1 When a particular treatment is not effective or if warts regrow within 3 months, a different modality should be used. Some experts routinely use combination therapy, such as initial cryotherapy followed by a patient-applied treatment.
Treatment regimens for genital warts are outlined below. Information is summarized from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 2010 STD treatment guidelines, except where noted.22

The case for a high school girls' soccer coach charged with possession of child porn was continued in Wake County Court Monday.
Robert Peterson, 43, is charged with six counts of third degree exploitation of a minor. Peterson was a soccer coach at Green Hope High before resigning from his position.
Peterson could face a minimum of 39 months in prison for each count if convicted.
Warrants showed pages and pages of visits to a child porn website by Peterson. Police say he entered a chatroom to talk with another visitor, who was actually a detective.
The Green Hope girls' soccer team won the North Carolina High School Athletic Association 4A state championship in May.
The Falcons finished the season undefeated and ranked No. 1 in the nation.
Peterson also taught social studies at Green Hope.

I, like most of the world, cannot believe it's already 2012—2011 absolutely FLEW by. It was an amazing year, but I'm excited to see what 2012 will bring. And, of course, I'm SO excited to see The Hunger Games come to life on the big screen in March!
Seriously you guys, I have been obsessing over The Hunger Games since I first picked up the book last week. I couldn't put it down! Amidst the holidays and cleaning up all the decorations and baking, etc, etc, I found myself anxious to jump under the covers and breeze through another chapter.
And now that I'm done with the first book, there's two more to go! AH! I'm so excited!
Then, the holidays ended, it's back to work, back to waking up early and the daily grind, and what do I find greeting me in my office upon my return? THE COOLEST THING EVER.
LOVE this wig! Scroll down to see me in it!
That's right. Joico sent me a Hunger Games wig designed by the Joico stylists who did all the cut and color for the upcoming film! WOAH!
Joico Guest Artist and Hollywood Stylist Cherry Petenbrink was tapped to create the hair color designs for the film's leads, and more than 500 extras, (THAT's RIGHT. 500 EXTRAS!) and she relied on the high performance, vivid tones and vast shade selection of Joico Vero K-PAK Color.
So, OK, maybe not all of you had the time to read this book. But seriously, you MUST. The Hunger Games takes place in a post-apocalyptic future and centers on Jennifer Lawrence's character—Katniss Everdeen—a fiesty, independant teenager sent from her impoverished "District" to compete in the annual fight to the death held in the glittering Capitol city.
Cherry Petenbrink was assigned to create a flat, matte brunette shade for Katness that would defy any trace of warmth. She reveals she transformed the actress' Level 9 dimensional blonde in two steps.
Step one: She first filled the hair with a Joico Vero Chrome Demi Permanent Color ¾ N6 + ¼ G6 and processed 20 minutes.
Step two: She glazed the hair with Joico Vero Chrome ¾ A5 + ¼ N4.
"Jennifer actually likes the color," Cherry says. "She's still wearing it, even though she has finished filming! And she was so happy that I used Joico. Her hair had been severely damaged from another shoot and she had restored it with Joico K-PAK Reconstructor. So she was thrilled to learn that K-PAK is in all of Joico's hair color products."

Does the US Government Actively Discourage Local Food?
We talk a lot about local food here at The Kitchn. We believe that your cooking can be better when informed by your local seasons and crop cycles. We also want to stay connected with local farmers and growers.
So we were shocked to read this opening statement in Jack Hedin's weekend article for The Times:
Consumers who would like to be able to buy local fruits and vegetables not just at farmers' markets, but also in the produce aisle of their supermarket, will be dismayed to learn that the federal government works deliberately and forcefully to prevent the local food movement from expanding.
What gives?
Hedin, a small organic vegetable farmer from Minnesota, tells how he is being penalized for growing local vegetables on land that was zoned for growing subsidized crops: corn, soybeans, wheat and cotton.
He says:
Last year, knowing that my own 100 acres wouldn't be enough to meet demand, I rented 25 acres on two nearby corn farms. I plowed under the alfalfa hay that was established there, and planted watermelons, tomatoes and vegetables for natural-food stores and a community-supported agriculture program.
But the Farm Service Administration, the branch of the Agriculture Department that runs the commodities program, discovered this and told him he would have to pay back the subsidy the landowners received to grow those crops. So he was out nearly $9000 for trying to keep up with local demand for local produce.
He believes that large growers in California, Florida, and Texas actively encourage these policies to stamp out local competition.
We're curious - did you read this, and how does it match up to other things you've read about the subsidies program, the Farm Bill, and corporate farming in America?

It didn't surprise me at all because I see this frustration first hand when I deal with local farmers.
I used to deal with a pig farmer who raises heirloom pigs on land that has never had pesticides. He is the third generation. His pigs are free-range and are fed mostly on acorns and corn that he grows for them.
Is he organic? No. Why? Because the government has not deemed him organic. Why haven't they deemed him organic? Because he can't afford the process.
It's a tough world that doesn't often pay off for certain people. Even if you are doing the right thing.
In order to be able to continue raising his pigs, he had to supplement by selling chickens, something he never wanted to do nor could he afford to. But a local heavy-hitting chef actually paid for a large portion of the chicken processing facility to make it worth it.
Hmmm....interesting. Private subsidization of local food producers. May not get you a USDA Organic stamp, but it's something.
This subsidization of commodity crops is an out of control monster. Even the farmers around where I group up admit it. Farming, as they used to know it, has just been bred out of them.
I'm itching more and more to start my own business so that I can be part of something good. To take myself off the commodity grid so to speak.
even the farmers wehre I "grew" up admit it.
Sorry. To answer the question, "does the government actively discourage local food?" I would have to say that, in my limited observations, I guess, by making it expensive and a hassle to be a local food producer, they are certainly not encouraging it.
Again, I don't think it's as a simple as saying it's some sort of a conspiracy against goodness, I think it's the need for the government to streamline the food industry. By streamlining the industry, the job of Federal inspectors is black and white. By streamlining, the cost of commodities can be stabilized.
We don't have centuries of deep-seeded culinary traditions in America. We can't expect the government to be emotional about a perfect baguette, air dried sausages or unpasteurized cheese. Right Arnold? These things can and will easily be swept aside for industrialized sustenance supported by the government and deemed safe by the government for you to eat. If someone wants to think outside the box, well, it's going to be more expensive I guess, just like modern design.
This graphic says it all:
Hmm. I don't think it has to do with the government having to streamline the food industry. I think it has to do with the tremendous weight the lobbyists from the large agribusinesses yield in Washington, and everywhere else.
When dealing with local issues, instigating change on a local level can prove to be highly effective: USDA Nutrition Programs: Arizona Farmers' Market Nutrition Program. Reestablishing this program was a grassroots effort.
angorian, wowwowowow that's insane!
I don't know the facts and myths involved in the upper levels, regarding laws and regulations and typical dealings.
But in *this* particular case that was highlighted, the landowner DID receive a subsidy ($9k it seems) from the government, and THEN turned around to rent it out to the MN farmer. Vegetables and fruits aside, you just don't take money for what you SHOULD be doing and then rent it out to someone else / for something else.
As I said, it could be more complex than just fruits and vegetables, but I do not think the farmer was being discriminated for planting wholefoods at all. That's so not the point, IMO. If the landowner did NOT receive the subsidy, I doubt the MN farmer would have been fined. Instead, he's paying for the actions of the landowner.
Well come on, in this story the landlord farmer was Double dipping.
He got Paid to grow corn, he then got paid by the renter farmer that grew the veggies.
The government is not discouraging the local farming in this case. The Landlord Farmer is trying to pull a fast one and got caught.
So now here comes the Spin!
"The Government is Discouraging Local produce"
- That is just Plain BS!
I think the concern expressed here is summed up in the following:
"Iâve discovered that typically, a farmer who grows the forbidden fruits and vegetables on corn acreage not only has to give up his subsidy for the year on that acreage, he is also penalized the market value of the illicit crop..."
It's not really clear if the farmers renting the acreage were indeed subsidized for that part of their property or not, and I'm not quite sure from the piece what part of the $8,771 was repayment of the subsidy and what part was penalty.
The op-ed doesn't make clear whether the landowners were double-dipping by receiving a subsidy for a crop they didn't plant. It doesn't say whether the landowners gave up their subsidy that year or not.
The $8,771 the farmer paid the landowners was likely for a combination of the rent and the penalty for the "illicit" crop, since if the landowners had taken a subsidy that needed to be returned they would be the ones responsible for paying it back, not the farmer.
Subsidy means money!
A farmer can't grow corn every season or it kills the soil. By not growing anything or rotating crops, the soil is rejuvenated. Subsidies are given even when not growing the cash crop.
Alfalfa is a standard rotation for Corn. The Illicit crop was not a replenishment crop! It would tax the soil and not benefit the corn. That is a problem.
When you try and Steal, a penalty is appropriate!
You can't have your cake and eat it too! The landowners were Double dipping!
The story seems deliberately vague on some points. I think Sour apples are involved!
One thing about exclamation points is that they generally don't help with clarity.
The article simply doesn't state whether the landowners continued to take the subsidy when they decided to rent out the land for a non-subsidy crop, so an emphatic statement that they were "double dipping" is specious.
Well Shawn, you certainly noticed!
What you didnt notice in the article was that-
"...the Farm Service said, my landlords were out of compliance with the commodity program."
Am I going out on a limb by saying the landlords were in the commodity program?
If they are IN the program,
they ARE subsidized!
I realize this is an older posting but I wanted to share this website in an appropriate place.

MOUNTAIN HOME, Ark. (AP) – Authorities
say DNA evidence found on a spoon led to the arrest of an Arkansas man accused
of breaking into a restaurant, stealing money and sampling some pie.
Baxter County Sheriff John Montgomery says the December 2012 burglary at Bobbie
Sue's Restaurant remained unsolved for nearly a year — until authorities
received DNA results from the state crime lab.
says the burglar emptied two donation jars intended for charity then ate a pie,
a ham sandwich and English muffins. Investigators found a dirty spoon, and Montgomery says DNA
matched 29-year-old Justin Studdard, who was arrested this week on suspicion of
commercial burglary, theft and criminal mischief.
He remains in the Baxter
County jail and is due in
court next week. Authorities did not know if Studdard had an attorney.

Robert Joseph Stratta, M.D., Professor of Surgery, Department of General Surgery, Associate Professor, Institute for Regenerative Medicine
After earning his B.S. degree at the University of Notre Dame, Robert Stratta. received his M.D. degree from the University of Chicago-Pritzker School of Medicine and trained in General Surgery at the University of Utah. He then completed a transplant clinical and research fellowship at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He became Professor of Surgery and the Director of Pancreas Transplantation at the University of Nebraska Medical Center and Clarkson Hospital where he developed one of the largest and most successful pancreas transplant programs in the world. In 1997, he joined the transplant team as Professor of Surgery at the University of Tennessee, Memphis. Their pancreas transplant program was one of the seven largest pancreas transplant centers in the world. In October 2001, Dr. Stratta became Professor of Surgery and Director of Transplantation at WFBMC. Their Abdominal Organ Transplant program is one of the 40 most active kidney transplant and 10 most active pancreas transplant centers in the country. He has been a member of 25 medical societies, three editorial boards and has lectured worldwide on pancreas transplantation and has been selected as one of the Best Doctors in America since 1993. SYNOPSIS OF AREA OF INTEREST: Main areas of research interest include all clinical aspects of kidney and pancreas transplantation, transplant options for the diabetic patient, new immunosuppressive drug regimens, prophylaxis and treatment of opportunistic infections, organ donation and allocation, quality of life studies in transplantation, and economic aspects of transplantation. In addition, new areas of interest include the use of expanded criteria donors, organ preservation and delayed graft function, the impact of the metabolic syndrome pre and post-transplant, and transplantation of high-risk patients (elderly, African American, highly sensitized, or retransplant candidates). DETAILED AREA OF INTEREST: Dr. Statta's areas of research interest include kidney and pancreas transplantation, immunosuppressive strategies, opportunistic infections, organ donation and allocation, quality of life, and economic aspects of transplantation. As short-term results have consistently improved in transplantation, a paradigm shift has occurred and clinical transplantation research is now focused on long-term outcomes such as organ durability and function, composite endpoints, quality of life, economic aspects, chronic effects of immunosuppression (cardiovascular, malignancy, infectious, metabolic aspects), decreasing chronic allograft failure (both immunological and non-immunological causes), and strategies of prevention. The long-term effects of pancreas (or islet) transplantation on the secondary complications of diabetes remain a pivotal area of interest and research. In general, the emphasis has shifted away from short-term immunological and surgical outcomes to long-term quality aspects coupled with expanded donor and recipient selection criteria. The critical shortage of donor organs remains an overwhelming crisis in organ transplantation. Consequently, optimizing the current supply and actively investigating new sources or organs through regenerative medicine techniques represents a key feature of our academic and clinical pursuits.

Food for Thought
- Friday, December 31, 2004
While hiking in the countryside, my friend Eve and I spotted a huge bed of mushrooms that we knew to be edible. We gathered a large basketful and sauteed them that night.
My husband Dick refused to eat them, thinking they might be poisonous.
Two weeks later, Eve and I gathered some more mushrooms. This time, Dick joined us.
"How is it that you're eating these mushrooms tonight," I asked, "when you wouldn't touch the ones we brought home two weeks ago?"
"I thought about it," Dick explained seriously, "and I figured it would be better to be found dead with you two than to try to explain two dead women in our home."

By Jenna Greene, Legal Times
D.C. Circuit Skeptical of Affordable Care Act Subsidies
A central provision of the Affordable Care Act that provides tax breaks for poor people who buy health insurance through federal exchanges could be in jeopardy after heated oral arguments before a three-judge panel on Tuesday at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.
What's being said
This doesn't go to the gist of your article but the tax credits are designed for the middle class. Medicaid is for poor people. This is what the Kaiser Family Foundation states about the tax credits: "Beginning in October 2013, middle-income people who are not eligible for coverage through their employer, Medicaid, or Medicare, can apply for tax credit subsidies available through state-based exchanges." http://kff.org/interactive/subsidy-calculator/
