The focus on a sustainable low-carbon future for buildings, cities, and nations has never been greater. But which countries will pave the way and meet goals on time? VTT specialists have assessed Finland's chances of achieving the 80% greenhouse gas emission reduction targets. The EU's goal for 2050 is to reduce emissions by at least 80% from the level of 1990.
The goal is a difficult one for Finland, but possible to achieve as long as all sectors that produce or consume energy take part. On top of this, all greenhouse gas emissions must be reduced. Finland requires new technological solutions for industrial activity, for the transport of people, goods and services, and for housing and working methods.
If clean forms of energy and the efficiency of energy use are substantially developed and widely adopted, Finland could become a seller of emission allowances and clean energy.
Finland benefits from the availability of substantial reserves of renewable energy and a diversified energy structure.
In 2050, 85% of Finnish electricity could be produced free of carbon dioxide. This requires diverse energy production and the widespread adoption of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies, in connection with both fossil fuel and biomass use.
If the industry significantly improves its energy efficiency and adopts CCS, 80% of the energy consumed by industry will be carbon-neutral. Resource efficiency must be improved and the use of recycled materials increased.
A 70% level of carbon-neutral energy in transport is possible to achieve by 2050. In low-carbon transport, there is great demand for biofuels; these could constitute up to 40% of the total energy consumed by transport sector.
Of the final energy used by buildings, 85% would be carbon-neutral in 2050. Some buildings could even produce energy locally. The potential for improving the energy efficiency of buildings is great even with current technologies, but sufficiently rapid implementation poses a challenge.

Nearly a third of corporate managers say they're more stressed now than they were a year ago, and 28% say they expect their anxiety to increase in the coming year, an OfficeTeam survey found. "Professionals at all levels are working harder and assuming more responsibilities as a result of companies relying on leaner teams," says Robert Hosking, OfficeTeam's executive director.

Emma Stone Smiles Big on Set While Andrew Garfield Packs Up
Emma Stone arrived on the NYC set of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 yesterday. She was bundled up in a long coat for the cold weather, but sported a smile despite the chilly temperature. Her boyfriend, Andrew Garfield, had today off from his Spidey duties and was spotted loading luggage into his car this morning. Emma has been working on the film with Andrew since last month, though she recently switched gears to promote another project. Emma and her Croods costar Ryan Reynolds met up for press last week, and the duo also premiered the film in the Big Apple. They posed on the red carpet with an animated creature from The Croods, which hits theaters on March 22, and were joined by Ryan's wife, Blake Lively, as well.

That's true...
Lately I have been having art blocks. I mean, I DO want to draw, sometimes I have an image in my head, but sometimes I'm not even in the mood to draw it. :/ It makes me disappointed, really. I mean, even if I have the time to draw it, I just don't feel like it. But my mind wants me to draw. My body resists.
The right time will come, I suppose ~
Thanks for the tip! ...I... actually want to draw something right now, but for now I'll go kill time by checking out some tutorials. xD; So I can draw better.

Now that Obama has won a lot of respect being president, we have to realize that life is not about race. We solve our problems by talking about racism. Obama is not just a black male. Obama is powerfully and strongly educated in many different ways.
The change that should take place in schools we attend today need to be supplied with better books for better education. How can we be interested in learning if the pages we read are written on? How can we be book smart when the books we try to read are ripped?
The health care problems in the United States are not good. We as Americans need better service when there's a health problem. I don't believe we should have to pay for our own medications. We wait to be recognized to find out what the medical problem is for an hour sometimes.
The thing I dislike the most about life is violence. Is war setting a good example for our future as Americans? We teach young kids violence is not the answer, but still we fight. Our troops need to come home and live life the correct way with their families. It's time for a change, start today.
As a fourteen year old teenage female, I know for sure that impossible is nothing. The sky is the limit. There are obstacles we go through everyday. If we can be better, see better, do better, and be better, then life will be so much better.

A keyword, in the context of search engine optimization, is a particular word or phrase that describes the contents of a Web page. Keywords are intended to act as shortcuts that sum up an entire page. Keywords form part of a Web page's metadata and help search engines match a page to with an appropriate search query. Read more
A composite key, in the context of relational databases, is a combination of two or more columns in a table that can be used to uniquely identify each row in the table. Uniqueness is only guaranteed when the columns are combined; when taken individually the columns do not guarantee uniqueness.
Any column(s) that can guarantee uniqueness is called a candidate key; however a composite key is a special type of candidate key that is only formed by a combination of two or more columns. Sometimes the candidate key is just a single column, and sometimes it's formed by joining multiple columns. Let us consider an example of a certain table in the database of a commercial bank. This table is used to store records of individuals' bank accounts. Now assume that the table has separate columns for the account type (C for checking, S for savings and so on), followed by another column for the year and month of the account's creation, and another column for a sequential number within that month. It is obvious that any one of these columns by itself cannot identify an account - for instance you can deduce that there would be several C's in the "Account Type" column, there would be several entries for May 2008 in the "Date of Creation" column, and so on. However, if, you combine all the three columns, then you do end up with a unique record for each and every account. A hypothetical account number in our example would be "C 200807 001" for the first account created in July 2008, which is a checking account. Another is "S 201003 004" for the fourth account created in March 2010, this time a savings account. This is a composite key, that is, a candidate key that guarantees uniqueness only when two or more columns are joined together. A composite key can be defined as the primary key. This is done using SQL statements at the time of table creation. It means that data in the entire table is defined and indexed on the set of columns defined as the primary key.

Shampoos and serums and makeup remover, colorful polish and skin that feels smoother / nothing is better than beauty in spring / these are a few of my favorite things!
The temperatures are rising, the sun is shining, and lately I've been thinking about all my favorite beauty products for spring! So I thought now would be the perfect time to share them with you…
Spring is a time for renewal – and when it comes to revitalizing your skin, nothing beats Avalon Organics Vitamin C Renewal Cream. This lightweight product is easy to use and contains a nourishing combination of free-radical fighting antioxidants, soothing botanicals and skin-smoothing ingredients. Plus, it's natural and smells absolutely wonderful! (It also comes in oil-free variety for sensitive complexions.) I typically use this product before bed.
Softer skin:
My all-time favorite daily skin product is CSI Super Hyaluronic Moisturizer. Why? First of all, it's so light and creamy – just add a few dabs to your fingertips and apply to your face and neck before putting on sunscreen and makeup. The hyaluronic acid adds an incredible amount of moisture (you'll want to keep touching your skin – but don't!), while protecting the skin against potential damage. Bonus: it's free of parabens, synthetic preservatives and artificial fragrance.
Lovely locks:
If you're still sporting winter frizz, it's time to give your hair a little springtime TLC. Try my favorite cruelty-free combination, Giovanni Smooth as Silk Deep Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner. Each one is specially formulated to nourish damaged hair, control frizz and support softer, shinier strands. It's also perfect for those of you out there who can't live without your flat-iron and blow-dryer (you know who you are).
Ouch! Getting that new shade of shadow off your lids at the end of the night can be a painful experience. Give your skin a break with one of my favorite products, Beauty Without Cruelty Gentle Makeup Remover. This formula uses the power of natural botanical extracts and vegetable glycerin to gently remove your coveted cosmetics – even waterproof mascara! No irritation, no oily residue – just fresh, clean skin!
Splash of color:
Hues of green and blue are in this spring – and who doesn't love a little sparkle? I think Barielle Shades Nail Polish in "Myrzas Meadow" is the perfect color – a cheerful green with a healthy dose of glitter! Don't forget that springtime also means sandal season is upon us — for newly liberated toes, I recommend water-based Suncoat Girl Forever Fuschia.

I love crocus tommasinianus, they are the true heralds of spring – in my garden anyway. In the warm sunshine they fling wide their petals and jostle for the attention of passing bees. Once they have finished flowering I will dig some up and continue my job of spreading them round the garden – they really are a flower you can't have too many of. Another pleasure is the scent of the Daphne odora growing next to the steps that lead to the front door. It's a crisp citrusy fragrance that I would buy in a bottle were it available. And floating above it, the mimosa is in full flower. It grew so prodigiously last year that I am cutting off whole branches and giving them away. Good timing for this weekend too as I've just discovered that it is the traditional Mother's Day flower in Spain.

So nice to have Daphne odora growing near the steps, the scent of the blooms is heavenly!

Calgon Carbon Awarded 10-Year Contract For Reactivation Services
Calgon Carbon Corporation (NYSE: CCC) announced that the company and the City of Phoenix, Arizona (Phoenix), have signed a ten-year contract to provide reactivation services for activated carbon used to treat the city's drinking water. The value of the contract will depend upon the amount of spent activated carbon that is reactivated annually, which is expected to be approximately 11 million pounds. As part of the agreement, Calgon Carbon will build a reactivation facility in Maricopa County, Arizona, which will be used to reactivate Phoenix's spent carbon.
The reactivation facility, which is expected to be completed in 2013, will be owned and operated by Calgon Carbon and will have an annual reactivation capacity of approximately 25 million pounds. The facility is expected to serve as a regional center, providing custom reactivation services for other municipalities that utilize granular activated carbon (GAC) to treat their drinking water, including two additional cities in Arizona whose representatives served on the selection panel for the Phoenix project. During the construction of the facility, Calgon Carbon will utilize its existing reactivation capacity to meet Phoenix's requirements.
Phoenix is using GAC in response to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule which establishes maximum levels at which disinfection byproducts (DBPs) are permitted to be present in drinking water. The GAC removes organic compounds from the water, reducing the formation of byproducts after the addition of chlorine. The city of Phoenix chose this method rather than replacing chlorine with alternative disinfectants which would not be as effective and would produce other potentially harmful byproducts.
In 2009, Phoenix awarded Calgon Carbon a $14.3-million contract to provide the initial virgin carbon for its drinking water plants. The company completed delivery of 16 million pounds of GAC to Phoenix in December 2011, and expects to begin reactivating spent carbon in the second quarter of 2012.

The 2014 FIFA World Cup has concluded with Sunday's 1-0 extra time win by Germany over Argentina. Interest in the World Cup has increased on television, but as more and more use social media and other online news to engage along with watching, metrics around play have become an interesting data collection.
To that end, wouldn't it be great to have graphing of key moments around play for the entire World Cup? Something that captured drama in play as well as drama around referees and individual players?
German software company SAP SAP went through and analyzed data to reveal some of the defining moments on social media for the World Cup. The infographic below and associated table shows the net sentiment of all social media posts in English, German and Spanish during the course of the event.
The analysis was done with SAP Social Media Analytics. SAP has been collecting and analyzing the social media conversation around the World Cup. SAP's Social Media Analytics provides real-time insights from the social web, including all social media networks (Facebook, Twitter Twitter etc.), blogs and news sites. It analyzes millions of data points.
The graphic was done with SAP Lumira, visualization software.
The graph's data is marked off around aspects of interest defined by SAP as:
- Player outcome
- Game outcome
- Referee drama
- Player drama
The data lines show social media engagement in English (blue), German (red), and Spanish (green)
A good example were the dramatic incidents during games (e.g. Pepe's red card during Germany vs Portugal on 16th June and Luis Suarez biting Giorgio Chiellini during the Uruguay vs Italy game on 24th June) that had a big impact on net sentiment.
Below is the infographic and the table to support it via SAP.

Luckert, F. and Yakushev, M. V. and Faugeras, C. and Karotki, A. V. and Mudryi, A. V. and Martin, R. W. (2012) Excitation power and temperature dependence of excitons in CuInSe2. Journal of Applied Physics, 111 (9). -. ISSN 0021-8979

Excitonic recombination processes in high quality CuInSe2 single crystals have been studied by photoluminescence (PL) and reflectance spectroscopy as a function of excitation powers and temperature. Excitation power dependent measurements confirm the identification of well-resolved A and B free excitons in the PL spectra and analysis of the temperature quenching of these lines provides values for activation energies. These are found to vary from sample to sample, with values of 12.5 and 18.4meV for the A and B excitons, respectively, in the one showing the highest quality spectra. Analysis of the temperature and power dependent PL spectra from the bound excitonic lines, labelled M1, M2, and M3 appearing in multiplets points to a likely assignment of the hole involved in each case. The M1 excitons appear to involve a conduction band electron and a hole from the B valence band hole. In contrast, an A valence band hole appears to be involved for the M2 and M3 excitons. In addition, the M1 exciton multiplet seems to be due to the radiative recombination of excitons bound to shallow hydrogenic defects, whereas the excitons involved in M2 and M3 are bound to more complex defects. In contrast to the M1 exciton multiplet, the excitonic lines of M2 and M3 saturate at high excitation powers suggesting that the concentration of the defects involved is low.

Melting curve analysis is a technique for analysis of PCR products. After PCR, the resulting PCR product is slowly heated. Each double-stranded DNA has its own specific melting temperature (Tm), which is defined as the temperature at which 50% of the DNA becomes single stranded. By measurement of Tm, the DNA can be easily identified.

So we are acquiring a 2009 Ford Captiva privately next month, & afterwards we wish to sell our 1998 Honda CRV. We've never had to do it before. Does anyone have an opinion about where/how is the best way to do this?
Trading Post Gumtree eBay Else? #2Posted 11 February 2013 - 05:40 PM
I have sold 3 cars on the Trading Post and all sold within 5 days....cars sold were older models, like yours, and I got the price I wanted. Warning though, you will get stupid phone calls asking for you to drive it to some remote location and others offering stupid amounts like $500. I also got heaps of people asking me to "hold the car" so they could come and get it on the weekend.....without a deposit or any money? I think not

#13Posted 12 February 2013 - 07:23 AM
I usually trade mine in (got $17k for my 2007 captiva so not too bad), others I know use Carsales or Trading post.
I wouldn't sell my socks on Gumtree, too many nutters.. Edited by Chchgirl, 12 February 2013 - 07:25 AM. #14Posted 12 February 2013 - 08:07 AM
The easiest is to trade in. You wont get as much for it but it saves you the hassel of putting ads up, getting people to turn up when they promise to test drive it and the risk of bounched cheques, people doing runners with your car etc.
If you don't want to trade it in I find carsales the best. #15Posted 12 February 2013 - 08:18 AM
Can you still trade in when you are not buying a car from that dealer?
#16Posted 12 February 2013 - 08:19 AM
We recently sold ours.
We listed on Gumtree and Carsales. It took a while but we sold for what we wanted for it. Trade ins are easiest but do your homework first. We got offered 5K to trade in a car we sold privately for 11.5K. Nothing to be lost from a sign in the window either. #17Posted 12 February 2013 - 05:58 PM QUOTE (sophiasmum @ 12/02/2013, 09:18 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Can you still trade in when you are not buying a car from that dealer? Yes you can but you may loose $1,000 or more on what you would get selling it privately. Carsales.com.au cost me $80 (from memory) + I did about 9 hours of work in total (researching the price, taking photos, writing the ad, taking phone calls meeting with the buyer - and I sold it for $1,000 more than what I was offered in a caryard. Therefore I was effectively working for around $100 an hour! Which is a lot more than what I earn.... #18Posted 12 February 2013 - 06:06 PM
I tried a number of free classifieds services, stuck signs on the car and drove around a lot but got no interest in almost 2 months. Stuck it on carsales.com.au and it was gone a week later. Might cost a few $$$ but I found it well worth it.

Wrong gender fear HELP

Friend of mine found out today her boy is actually a girl...makes me kind of anxious because I got this us at exactly 17wks and was told girl I didn't find out with my daughter till 20wks and she had the very "defined" 3 lines....I feel like this baby is just a little bit swollen or something but I just want the piece of mind...I have another ultra sound next week so I'll update <3

How far along was your friend when they told her her baby was a boy? From what I've seen/read girl parts can be quite swollen up to about 15 weeks?

There is nothing "swollen" about that.That is a girl. Labia doens't always appear as lines. It depends on many things, such as angle of transducer, position of baby, and age

This is definitely a girl. You can see both labia's clearly. My cousin was told girl too, from lack of seeing a penis. That is not a good way of gender determination and she later found out she was having a boy. Girls genitals aren't just the absence of a penis, girls have labia's, which this absolutely shows.

Upcoming Event
Apple moving 400 to Sunnyvale Town Center
- Mary Ann Azevedo
- Reporter- Silicon Valley Business Journal
Apple Inc. is moving into a new 156,000-square-foot office building in the Sunnyvale Town Center, a positive step for a project that was stalled for years.
Apple will be moving about 400 people into the building on South Mathilda and West McKinley avenues, next door to where Nokia Corp. moved in with 500 workers in 2011, according to Sunnyvale officials.
"This is an important step forward," said Sunnyvale City Manager Gary Luebbers in a prepared statement. "Our entire community will benefit as we see yet another large gain in the Town Center redevelopment project."
Apple is expected to formally move in the third quarter.
Apple has eye on another 650,000 square feet in Sunnyvale?
Since taking over much of Cupertino, the tech giant has quietly been snapping up properties all over Sunnyvale. In January, it signed a five-year lease to take the entire 224,000-square-foot Sunnyvale Research Center on E. Arques Avenue.
Last September, Apple also reportedly signed a lease for a two-building campus totaling 108,712 square feet at 975 and 995 Benecia avenues in Sunnyvale.
Wednesday's announcement is an unexpected twist at Town Center. The project was done by a joint partnership formed in 2007 between developer Peter Pau's Sand Hill Property Co. and global real estate giant RREEF.
Danville-based Quattro Realty Group was appointed receiver of the project in October 2009 by Wells Fargo Bank after a default on a $108 million loan on the mixed use development.
The property went up for foreclosure last August and in the end, Wells Fargo Bank foreclosed on the property at $108.8 million.
The Sunnyvale Town Center is currently being operated by Quattro's L. Gerald "Jerry" Hunt, who was appointed receiver of the project in October 2009.

Brian Gilmore '92 published an article in the McClatchy-Tribune saying that President Obama is right to side with organized labor in Michigan.
Gilmore writes, "Obama is now siding with labor. That may not be enough to hold back the anti-labor actions of companies and Republican statehouses, but it is an important signal nonetheless.
We need strong labor unions, and the underhanded move in Michigan, of all places, must not stand."

"These address labels printed up beautifully. I am very pleased with this product. I also found Tiny Prints customer service to be very helpful. I would definitely order from Tiny Prints again."
"I needed a set of address labels that were still unique but I could put on more serious communications / cards, etc. These are gorgeous but are still muted enough that they aren't drawing too much attention, the font is lovely (I used the suggested) and the print is good quality."
"I didn't really change it up all that much. The print and design is clean and very pretty. I chose the blue/red combo. I am always happy with Tiny Prints products and would recommend this lovely label. Great quality print and paper."
"This design caught my eye as it is different from the usual address labels I see on the market. Colors are brilliant and design clear."
"This was my first purchase from Tiny Prints and I am very pleased with my purchase. The address labels are beautiful and are high quality. I will definitely order from Tiny Prints again but it will be hard to decide on a design since they have such a huge selection."

If you've spent much time following Wall Street, you know that a company's strong financial performance isn't always rewarded with an upwardly mobile stock price, especially if the company operates in a sector that has fallen out of favor with investors.
Hain Celestial Group (HAIN) is a case in point.
Hain is the nation's top supplier of natural and organic food and personal care products. Its lineup includes well-known brands such as Celestial Seasonings teas, Earth's Best baby food, Health Valley soups and cereal bars and Terra Chips.
Hain's lineup of natural products includes Celestial Seasonings teas. View Enlarged Image
The company sells its goods in roughly 50 countries worldwide, though more than 60% of its revenue comes from the U.S.
Business has been good. Over the last nine quarters, Hain has grown earnings at least 12% and sales at least 19%. Seven times during that stretch, earnings have risen by at least 31% year over year.
But the company's stock price has largely gone sideways over the last seven months, even as IBD's Packaged Food group has risen more than 20% during the same time frame.
Raised Eyebrows
That disparity has raised eyebrows among some industry observers.
"Despite healthy earnings recently, (Hain's) stock has underperformed the food group," JPMorgan analyst Ken Goldman noted in a recent report.
Part of the problem, he says, has been "the underperformance of better-for-you food stocks as a whole."
Goldman didn't mention specific stocks. However, Hain's share price might have been hurt by the performances of organic and natural foods retailers like Whole Foods Market (WFM) and The Fresh Market (TFM).
Both of those companies have seen their stock prices decline over the last few months even as they, like Hain, continue to produce solid financial growth.
Those issues notwithstanding, Goldman still sees plenty of growth potential in the natural and organic foods segment.
Among other things, he points to attendance at the Natural Products Expo West trade show that took place in early March in Anaheim, Calif.
The event was "by all accounts the best attended in years," Goldman noted. In addition, large traditional grocery store operators like Kroger (KR) and Safeway (SWY) "have stated their desire" to expand space for natural and organic shelf stable foods.
"Better-for-you eating remains a very strong category in general," Goldman said. "When the 'reversion to the mean' trade in food eventually abates, growth-oriented companies like Hain will be positioned to outperform again in our view."
Citigroup analyst Gregory Badishkanian sounds a similar refrain. In a report following Hain's second-quarter earnings announcement, Badishkanian said the natural/organic category in general, and Hain in particular, are primed for solid growth in coming quarters.
"Our confidence in Hain's ability to achieve our estimates is based on decent top-line growth, driven by continued consumer demand for natural/organic products," he said. "Hain's organic sales should grow substantially faster than the conventional food group."
Earnings Growth
Hain is already on a pretty good roll. Over the last five quarters it has grown earnings at least 31% and sales at least 22%.
The company is due to report fiscal third-quarter results on Tuesday. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expect profit to come in at 72 cents a share, a gain of 33% from the prior year.
During its fiscal second quarter, which ended in December, Hain logged earnings of 72 cents a share excluding items. That was up 36% from a year earlier and 3 cents above consensus analyst views.
Q2 Revenue
Operating free cash flow rose 47.6% to $106.8 million for the trailing 12 months ended Dec. 31. Adjusted EBITDA was $205.9 million for the trailing 12 months ended Dec. 31, an increase of 31.8% year over year.
Second-quarter revenue climbed 25% to $455.3 million. That was below the $473 million expected by analysts, in part because of the negative impact Hurricane Sandy had on business.
Hain's top line did get a boost from its October buyout of the U.K.'s Premier Foods, which brought aboard Hartley's jams, among other brands. The stock and cash deal was valued at around $320 million. Hain said the buyout helped its second-quarter revenue more than double in the U.K.
The company has made nearly 30 acquisitions since it was founded in 1993. Its strategy is to buy smaller entrepreneurial companies that are a good fit with Hain's business. It then uses its resources and expertise to manage and build the brands into better performers.
Hain has also benefited from recent strength in many of its core product categories, analysts say.
"The category strength is being driven by higher end consumer spending and the secular growth of organic food," Badishkanian noted. "Solid sales at Hain are a positive read through to the rest of the sector."
The trend toward healthy eating may have seemed like a passing fad a few years ago, but it appears to be here to stay.

Iowa State University Extension and Outreach in Cass County is hosting a program for local farm women to learn the details of farm financial management and ways to determine a farm's financial stability, starting January 27th, in Atlantic.
"Moving Beyond the Basics: Farm Record Keeping" is a four-week program that addresses practical farm financial management in an interactive setting. Focusing on financial management skills such as farm recordkeeping, financial statements, and analysis tools, the program is modeled after Annie's Project for Farm and Ranch Women, empowering farm women to be better business partners through networking and by managing and organizing critical information.
Annie's Project gives farm women the opportunity to learn from female agricultural professionals and network with other women in similar situations. Moving Beyond the Basics provides women who participate the opportunity to evaluate record keeping systems and experience accounting software in a hands-on, open discussion format. Knowing the resources available for analyzing financial position also helps participants better plan for periods of low prices and farm income fluctuation.
Moving Beyond the Basics will be offered at the Cass County Extension office in Atlantic on Mondays from 6-9 p.m. starting January 27th. The program will run for four consecutive weeks. Registration fee is $50 for all four sessions, including all course materials and a light dinner before each session. Course size is limited, so interested participants are encouraged to register before the January 24th deadline to ensure a spot in the class. Registration is required through the Cass County ISU Extension office by calling 712-243-1132 or by filling out a registration form, found online at www.extension.iastate.edu/cass.
For local farm women who would like to a broader overview of farm financial and risk management, Adair County Extension will be hosting the original Annie's Project in Greenfield, starting on February 6th, 2014. This six-week course is designed especially for farm women to help them develop their management and decision-making skills for their farms. Sessions include brief presentations, discussions focused on the participants' questions, and computer training to use spreadsheets. Topics include understanding market terminology, interpreting financial statements, and estate planning tools. For more information, visit www.extension.iastate.edu/adair or call (641)743-8412.
These programs have been developed through a grant from the North Central Risk Management Education Center and USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture.
The head of the National Pork Producers Council is defending the use of gestation crates for pregnant pigs as a growing number of retailers ask for pork from facilities where hogs are raised in group settings rather than the two-foot stalls. Neil Dierks, the council's C-E-O, says farmers should have the freedom to choose. "There is no one perfect system according to research that was done by the American (Veterinary Medical) Association and the American Association of Swine Practitioners," he says."
Each system has inherent advantages and disadvantages, but — again — it comes back to the care and the management of the animals given by the producer." About 60 major food retailers, including McDonald's, Costco and Safeway, have announced they'll no longer buy pork that comes from facilities where the two-foot stalls were used to limit the movement of sows. Smithfield Foods, the world's largest pork producer, announced Tuesday it's more than halfway through converting the facilities it owns to group housing for pregnant sows and the company will be less likely to renew contracts with independent farmers who continue to use gestation stalls.
Critics like the Human Society of the United States argue the small stalls are inhumane, as pregnant sows cannot turn around in the gestation stalls. Supporters say the stalls keep the sows from fighting with other pigs and allow for precise feeding of each sow. Producers say the stalls also keep the sows from stepping on or killing the baby pigs.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – A city official says Sioux City can expect up to $11 million in damage when the insect killer of ash trees reaches the northwest Iowa city. The Sioux City Journal says parks maintenance field supervisor Kelly Bach told the City Council on Monday that it's just a matter of time before the emerald ash borer beetle is found in Sioux City. Bach says ash trees account for nearly a third of Sioux City's trees.
State officials said last month that an emerald ash borer had been found in a residential tree in Creston. It's the fifth location in Iowa where the beetle has been found. The Creston sighting was the first in western Iowa.
Something farmers often called "trash" could be a new cash crop in 2014 as ethanol plants near Nevada and in Emmetsburg that use the leaves, stalks and cobs of the corn plant will begin operations this year. It's called cellulosic ethanol production and creates a potential market for the corn residue –or stover. Iowa State University agronomy professor Rick Cruse says stover plays an important role in nurturing soil health and preventing erosion on fields that might otherwise be bare from harvest until planting. He's confident the companies understand that and make sure enough is left to keep the soil healthy.
"There is a pressure to take more when you have an opportunity to make more money by taking more. And that's a short-term return," according to Cruse. Cruse says as farmers consider whether they want to market stover, they should determine which fields can most readily withstand some stover removal. He says cellulosic production could eventually expand to accept other raw materials. "If a technology is used, which we could covert not only stover but other grasses, we might find a market to put things like switchgrass in areas where we should not have corn and beans," Cruse says.
Cruse says that would give farmers a cash return on land they've taken out of production. He says he sees a window of opportunity if producers and industry are willing to look beyond corn stover. Iowa State Extension will hold a series of meetings this month to answer farmers' question about stover.

EAB now has been positively identified in five Iowa locations, most recently in Creston.
Mark Shour, Iowa State University Extension & Outreach Entomologist, says "These meetings are designed to provide helpful, usable information to prepare for one of the most destructive insects to hit the urban forest in decades."
The meeting will be held from 6-to 7:30-pm January 9th, at the Supertel Inn & Conference Center (800 Laurel Street), in Creston. It is designed for those in the green industry, homeowners and others interested in the topic. There is no charge to attend, and pre-registration is not required. For more information call ISU Extension and Outreach – Union County at 641-782-8426.
Officials with the Atlantic FFA Chapter reported Thursday, that the organization sold a little more than $22,300 worth of fruit, meat, cheese, picked herring and other products during their annual fundraiser, which ran from late October through early November. All the proceeds go toward supporting the local FFA Chapter by helping members attend the National and State Conventions, and in the purchase for FFA Jackets for any member that wants one.
40 FFA members sold an average of $558 in products, with the top fruit salesperson being Haley Carlson. She earned $2,018. Calley Klindt sold $1,405…Adam Freund, $1,081…Kristin Johnk $1,014, and Tyler Christensen sold $962 worth of products. Atlantic FFA President Wyatt Saeughling said in a press release that he was "Glad to see we accomplished our goal of more than $20,000."

Margiela With H&M's Wordless Worldwide March
Is wearing Maison Martin Margiela's collaboration with H&M a political statement? Over the weekend, scores of people across the world took to the streets as though it was. Demonstrators in eight countries participating in the "Silent Manifesto" wore white aprons bearing the collaboration's logo and carried signs emblazoned with its launch date, Nov. 15.
San Francisco was the only city in the United States lucky enough to host one of these marches, but there were similar demonstrations in Hong Kong, Singapore, France, Germany, Austria, Romania, Canada, Italy, and Mexico.
Take a look at the marchers in Paris in the video below, plus images of the demonstrations in San Francisco and London here in the gallery.
