Cross-Institute Programme for Sustainable Soil Function SoilCIP 2010 Christmas and New Year Newsletter A summer photo to warm you rather than a winter scene. This is the 'beach' in Brisbane. You should try it sometime! Next ISPG The Rothamsted Board has asked to review the proposed new ISPGs. A draft Science case for the new Delivering Sustainable Systems ISPG has therefore been hastily written and sent to the Director to be forwarded to the Board. The only comment from Maurice on ours was "That's great". The Board will be discussing the cases with ISPG leaders on 10th January. I have no details of the meeting or of who, in addition to the ISPG leaders, the Board will want to see. However, they have expressed a wish to carry out the same scientific review of staff at Rothamsted that they did at North Wyke and Broom's Barn. I will tell you more when I can. Janet Allen was due to visit Rothamsted last week to discuss the feedback on the outline ISPGs but could not get here because of the snow. Instead, we had a telephone conference yesterday, during which she expanded a little on the written feedback that was in the November newsletter. To summarise for the ISPGs and NCGs generally, and Delivering Sustainable Systems in particular: General There were no serious problems with the Rothamsted ISPGs. The panel was pleased with what they saw. The institute's direction of travel is in line with what is wanted. Only fine tuning is needed, and we should make the proposals more compelling. We must ensure that the correct management structures are in place to ensure integration across all the ISPGs: the skill set needed to manage a £4M p.a. ISPG is not the same as that for a £1M research grant. 1 Specific to DSS The review panel liked it, especially the quantification of sustainability. We must show cohesion across the clusters in our ISPG. They think that we undersold ourselves on what we can deliver because this is an area for which we have an almost unique ability and which is hard to do at a university. We should make more of systems agriculture and how we could achieve sustainable intensification. There are lots of uncertainties around the sustainability and management of livestock soils, which we can inform on; we should exploit the Farm Platform. (The FP was the one specific reference to Rothamsted in BBSRC's Delivery Plan, released this week. We asked why the Plan does not mention sustainability. Janet thinks this an oversight because it will be an important theme moving forward.) NCGs: There was support for all of them. The only one of ours of which questions were asked was the ECN with regard to how it fits into BBSRC priorities, especially in the context of NERC's plans. (I pointed out that we would need most of the measurements made in the ECN anyway, because they underpin much of the research that we do.) The challenge for all the NCGs is to show what each particular NC will look like and demonstrate a clear need for it – who will use it; how do we ensure that it's available to others; how will we promote it; how will we measure its success (web hits, users, repeat users?) and know that we have achieved our target usage and audience? In other words, we must create a mini business case. NCs are important in that they will help BBSRC to make its case to BIS to maintain the science base and especially the institutes. It will need to be smarter about its investments in infrastructure. (In other words, the old argument – why do we need institutes? NCGs are seen as supplying some of the evidence.) Farm Platform I'm sure that all at NW know this already, but the Christmas present of the year is the award of funding to fit all 15 flumes and buy greenhouse gas measuring equipment for the FP. Thank you BBSRC! Royal Society Summer Exhibition This continues to have repercussions.

Meetings and Conferences Soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics at different spatial scales. Convener: Bas van Wesemael. Co‐Conveners: Kristof Van Oost, Jens Leifeld. Soils are one of the largest carbon pools and a small change in SOC content could therefore substantially intensify, or mitigate, current atmospheric CO2 increase. The discrepancies in CO2 fluxes from studies using different techniques also emerge. A crucial problem is therefore the linkage between the scale at which we understand processes and develop models (profile scale, short term) and larger scale observations at longer time scales: the spatial aggregation of current approaches induces averaging out of soil conditions and therefore does not allow to incorporate effects of past land management, lateral fluxes of water and/or carbon within the spatial units for which the models are run or the SOC values are averaged. Such landscape processes will need to be reflected in both regional SOC inventories and modeling.

Burswood Convention Centre, Perth, WA. http://rhizosphere3.com/ RHIZOSPHERE 3 will provide a multidisciplinary forum for exchanging innovative ideas and methods for studying the rhizosphere, understanding its complexity and further up‐scaling its functioning to better evaluate its ultimate role in ecosystem processes. It follows on from the highly successful RHIZOSPHERE 2 Conference held in Montpellier (25‐31 August 2007) which gathered over 570 participants from 48 countries worldwide. The conference will provide a stage for young and established researchers to present their work in front of a welcoming international audience in the beautiful setting of Perth in Western Australia in September 2011, during the fabulous wildflower season. New Publications Trace Elements in Soils and Plants, Fourth Edition, by Alina Kabata‐ Pendias, Institute of Soil Science and Plant Cultivation, Pulawy, Poland. CRC Press. ISBN: 9781420093681. This highly anticipated fourth edition of the bestselling Trace Elements in Soils and Plants reflects the explosion of research during the past decade regarding the presence and actions of trace elements in the soil‐plant 4 environment. The book provides information on the biogeochemistry of these elements and explores how they affect food quality. Incorporating data from over 1500 new resources, this edition includes the most up‐to‐date information on the relationship of trace elements to topics such as: Soil natural/background contents, Sorption/desorption processes, Anthropogenic impact and soil phytoremediation, Phytoavailability and functions in plants, Contents of food plants. The book discusses the assessment of the natural/background content of trace elements in soil, bioindication of the chemical status of environmental compartments, soil remediation, and hyperaccumulation and phytoextraction of trace metals from the soil. The table of contents reflects the IUPAC's recommendation for numbering element groups, giving the new edition an updated organizational flow. Growth and Mineral Nutrition of Field Crops, Third Edition, by Nand Kumar Fageria, EMBRAPA, San Antonio de Goias, GO, Brazil; Virupax, Baligar, USDA/ARS SPCL, Beltsville, MD, USA; Charles Allan Jones, Texas A&M University, Dallas, USA. CRC Press. ISBN: 9781439816950. By the year 2050, the world's population is expected to reach nine billion. To feed and sustain this projected population, world food production must increase by at least 50 percent on much of the same land that we farm today. To meet this staggering challenge, scientists must develop the technology required to achieve an "evergreen" revolution—one that increases crop productivity without degrading natural resources. With 30 percent new material, the updated and revised third edition of Growth and Mineral Nutrition of Field Crops covers all aspects of crop growth and mineral nutrition that contribute to sustainable, high‐yield agriculture. Bringing together international scientific knowledge of crop production and the impacts of agriculture on the environment, this book: Includes two new chapters on remediation of heavy‐metal contaminated soils and cover crops; Covers theoretical and practical aspects of mineral nutrition of field crops; Provides recommendations for judicious use of fertilizers, which will reduce cost of crop production and enhance high crop yields without risking environmental pollution; Provides growth patterns for annual crops and forages; Includes a handful of color pictures of nutrient deficiencies for easy diagnostic purposes. To make the book as practical as possible, each chapter is supported by experimental results and extensive references. A large number of figures and tables are also included to save readers time when researching. The overall emphasis of this reference is on the soil's ability to sustain high crop yields and a healthy human population. Facts About Global Warming. Rational or Emotional Issue? By Kutílek, Miroslav and Nielsen, Donald R., 2010, 227 pp. Essays in GeoEcology, Catena Verlag GMBH, Reiskirchen, Germany. ISBN 978‐3‐923381‐58‐6, US ISBN 1‐59326‐242‐0. Price 45.00 € + mailing costs. The book is an essay about a politically abused problem which is not only a subject of climatologists but of utmost interest for researchers in the fields of Soil Science, Hydrology and Environmental Science dealing with the principles of sustaining life on our planet. In an easily understandable presentation the authors discuss comprehensive reports and peer‐reviewed scientific publications on global warming, and how temperature of earlier time is estimated when thermometers did 5 not exist. The underestimation of temperature of the Medieval Warm Period in many climatologic studies is critically reported. Stating that greenhouse effect is not the dominant cause of the recent climate change, the authors explain the role of eight factors acting upon the climate in the geological history of planet Earth. They show that climate change was important in man´s evolution and in the development and crisis of civilizations. They do not consider the recent magnitude and speed of warming as a signal of an approaching catastrophe. Their analyses of analogical warming oscillations in the Holocene are found not to be dangerous for life, but quite the opposite. The catastrophic scenarios of approaching disasters caused by global warming are rationally rejected at the end. To order the book contact Catena Verlag, Ärmelgasse 11, D‐35447 Reiskirchen, Germany, email@example.com, or see www.catena‐verlag.de Soil Enzymology. Series: Soil Biology, Vol. 22. Shukla, Girish; Varma, Ajit (Eds.) 1st Edition., 2011, XVI, 385 p., Hardcover. ISBN: 978‐3‐642‐14224‐6. Soil enzymes are one of the vital key mediators involved in nutrient recycling and the decomposition of organic matter and thereby in maintaining soil quality and fertility. This Soil Biology volume covers the various facets of soil enzymes, such as their functions, biochemical and microbiological properties and the factors affecting their activities. Enzymes in the rhizosphere, in forest soils, and in volcanic ash‐ derived soils are described. Soil enzymes covered include phosphohydrolases, lignocellulose‐ degrading enzymes, phenol oxidases, fungal oxidoreductases, keratinases, pectinases, xylanases, lipases and pectinases. Several chapters treat the soil enzymatic activities in the bioremediation of soils contaminated with pesticides and pollutants such as oil, chlorinated compounds, synthetic dyes and aromatic hydrocarbons. The role of soil enzymes as bioindicators is a further important topic addressed. www.iuss.org I aim to be on leave from 23rd December until 4th January, and I shall be at a Shared Service Centre training course all day on 4th Jan.

WAC conference tournament preview
Mar 7, 2012, 11:59 AM EDT
The will probably be the last year of the WAC having any kind of relevancy nationally.
Nevada and Fresno State are leaving to become full-time members of the Mountain West. Hawaii is going to the MWC for football and taking the rest of their talents to the Big West. In exchange, the WAC is adding Denver, UT-Arlington, UT-San Antonio, Texas State and Seattle. Boise State will also return in all sports except for football.
In fact, I'd go as far as to say that the WAC is the biggest loser in this conference realignment mess.
But that's not important this year.
What is important is that Nevada absolutely ran through this league, losing just two games since Thanksgiving. The only losses came to Idaho and at Iona for BracketBusters. I'm not sure anyone in the conference has the horses to run with them.
Where: Las Vegas
When: March 8th-March 10th
Final: March 10th, 11 p.m. ESPN2
Favorite: Nevada
The Wolf Pack were one of the hottest teams in the country down the stretch of the season, losing only twice after Thanksgiving. This is a group that is very, very talented. Deonte Burton and Malik Story are both high-major talents in the back court while Dario Hunt is one of the most intimidating defensive presences on the West Coast. Duke transfer Olek Czyz has made a name for himself in Reno.
And if they lose?: New Mexico State
Wendell McKines is one of the nation's most underrated players. He averages a double-double despite facing double teams on a nightly basis. They certainly miss not having Christian Kabango out there, but the play of Hernst Laroche and Tyrone Watson has helped make up for it.
Sleepers: Idaho is the only team in the conference to knock off Nevada, and if that rematch were to come to fruition, it would be in the conference title game. I like Utah State's roster. They have a talented back court and a couple of good big men, but they are young and get Nevada in the second round.
– Wendell McKines, New Mexico State: McKines deserved strong consideration for the league's Player of the Year even though he didn't play for the conference champ.
– Deonte Burton, Nevada: Burton ended up winning the award, and rightly so. He was the leading scorer and the go-to playmaker for the conference champ.
– Preston Medlin, Utah State: Good shooter, good athlete, smart player. What else would you expect out of a Utah State guard?
– Vander Joaquim, Hawaii: Joaquim was probably the best true big man in the conference, averaging 14.0 ppg an 9.5 rpg.

Can't wait for UNR(they don't represent the state of Nevada to join the MWC and take their twice a year thumping from the real power of the state UNLV.

How is that powerful Unlv football program going?

UNLV is a joke. When was the last time you guys even sniffed the Freemont cannon? Plus your unis look like CFL unis.

The Environmental Protection Agency proposes to remove an Orange County site from the Superfund list.
As we approach the two-year anniversary of the TCI fire in West Ghent in Columbia County, we look back at the disaster and at TCI's plans going forward.
The fire broke out around 10 p.m. on August 1st, 2012 at TCI of New York on Route 9H in West Ghent. According to Columbia County officials, the building housed mineral oil tanks, tractor trailers containing fuel oil, propane tanks, and other hazardous substances, including sodium that came from transformers disposed of at TCI. The company blamed the inferno on "a third party vendor" that TCI no longer deals with.
General Electric has reportedly agreed to pay close to $8 million to settle a portion of five-year-old lawsuit brought by Saratoga County municipalities related to the company's dredging on the Hudson River.
The city of Pittsfield recently recognized the revitalization of Silver Lake.
The city of Pittsfield celebrated the opening of a once dangerously contaminated lake Friday.
Community members, business leaders and state and local officials gathered on the banks of Silver Lake marking the completion of revitalization work that began nearly two years ago.
"It is a symbol of what I think is going to be the next chapter in the city of Pittsfield and a bright future for generations to come," said Pittsfield Mayor Dan Bianchi.
The Hudson River PCB cleanup project is nearly 75 percent complete as the fourth season of dredging comes to a close. An Environmental Protection Agency regional administrator delivered a progress report while an environmental group is calling on General Electric to clean up additional PCBs.
EPA Regional Administrator Judith Enck says the 2013 dredging season comes to a close in a few days, putting the entire project about a year ahead of schedule.
The final steps in the active restoration of a floodplain in southern Berkshire County are taking root.
Crews are back dredging the upper Hudson River in New York after high water forced a temporary suspension last week.
General Electric Co. says work on the multi-year Superfund project resumed Monday on two areas north of Albany contaminated by PCBs. Heavy rains and high water forced crews off the river late Wednesday.
Crews began a fourth season of the project April 29. They are more than halfway done with the goal of removing 2.65 million cubic yards of contaminated sediment from a 40-mile stretch of the upper Hudson.
GE released PCBs into the river decades ago.
General Electric has agreed to analyze its potential liability in relation to recently-discovered PCBs in the upper Hudson River. GE will soon resume its remediation of PCBs it discharged into the Hudson decades ago, and at least one environmental group hopes the company will incorporate the additional dredging this year.
As state and federal officials are still working with GE on a plan to clean PCBs from the Housatonic River in the Berkshires, local activists are searching for new technologies to lessen the impact on the surrounding ecosystem. WAMC's Berkshire Bureau Chief Lucas Willard reports…
In an event yesterday evening sponsored by local environmental groups and hosted by the Housatonic River Initiative, company BioTech Restorations presented new technologies they've been developing to remove harmful chemicals from contaminated soil.

Memorials are essential to the preservation of a shared memory.
No American adult alive on Sept. 11, 2001, is likely to forget the world-shattering events of that day. More than a decade removed from the terrorist attacks that griped the country, it's sometimes difficult to tap the same range of emotions: uncertainty, fear and outrage were chief among our reactions.
Using civilian aircraft in that heinous manner shattered our sense of security but it also unified the national resolve and refocused millions on the priorities of faith and family.
Like me, you've been on this road before, no doubt.
It's the road home after you've been on a vacation, weekend getaway or retreat. And as that idyllic place - the lake, beach, cabin in the woods or special hotel - begins slowly to recede in your rearview mirror, you want to screech your breaks to a halt, turn around and somehow grab your vacation spot and take it with you.

I believe this is a special occasion. I should take the time to write to my senators and representative to express my views on current topics.
It doesn't matter how brief the communication, but it is most important that I make the effort. They need to know that I am involved.

ISSUE: Personal fireworks
OUR VIEW: Hold your fire
Weeks without a good rain and days of 100-plus temperatures have left Hardin County parched and, as of Friday, burn bans had been enacted throughout Hardin County.
Regardless of the approaching holiday, it's just not the time to light fireworks.
Veterans Tribute the work of many hands
Any one else remember when grass was green and didn't crunch?
After weeks of dry conditions and now days of stiffling, triple-digit high temperatures, yards everywhere have a hazy brown look. For those of us who dispair as summer days disappear to the continual burden of yard care, that's the sole silver lining in the cloudless skies.
For yard and garden devotees, don't shed any tears for next month's water bill. That only will contribute to the potential for dehydration.

There's a lot that goes into the making of an egg! To understand exactly how an egg is made, we first need to know what its parts are.

Parts of an Egg

Yolk. This is the most obvious part of the egg contents—the yellow part near the center.

Albumen. This is the clear part we call the egg white. It's called this because it turns white when cooked. There are two layers of albumen: thick (near the yolk) and thin.

Chalaza. Located in the thick albumen, chalaza is simply albumen that is twisted tightly. It keeps the yolk in the middle of the egg and prevents it from sticking to the inside of the shell.

Shell membranes. The egg contents are surrounded by two thin membranes called the inner and outer shell membranes.

Shell. This is the outer covering of the egg holding everything together.

How a Hen Makes an Egg

The egg is formed in the reproductive tract of a female chicken, called a hen. The reproductive tract is divided into two major parts: the ovary and the oviduct. The ovary is where the yolk is added. When the yolk reaches the right size, it is released from the ovary by a process called ovulation. The released yolk is then picked up by the infundibulum. It is here that fertilization must take place.The yolk then passes to the magnum, where the albumen is added. It then goes on to the isthmus for the addition of the shell membranes. The developing egg spends most of its time in the shell gland, where the shell and any shell pigments are added. As the egg is being assembled it travels down the oviduct small end first. In the vagina it is pushed out the large end first. This prevents the egg from being contaminated by fecal material when it is laid.

Do you have a favorite recipe you like to cook that includes eggs? Then the 4-H Egg-Preparation Demonstration contest is for you! Contestants have 12 minutes to prepare a recipe that has eggs as an ingredient. The demonstration must show proper food safety and cooking techniques. Contestants also must talk about important egg facts while cooking. Here are some ideas:

 Nutritional value. What nutrients do eggs provide? How can eggs fit into a nutritious menu plan?

 Proper storage. How do you keep eggs fresh and safe to eat?

 Functional properties. What purpose do eggs serve in different recipes? For example, they are a thickening agent in custards and a binding agent in meatloaves.

 Buying eggs. What does the information on an egg carton tell you? For example, what does "grade" mean? What do the words "large" or "extra large" refer to?

 Versatility. What are some of the many ways you can use eggs?

 Economics. How does the value of eggs compare with other food options?

Think of the 4-H Egg-Preparation Demonstration as being like a cooking show. The chef prepares a recipe while sharing interesting facts with the audience.

Contestants are judged on program content, presentation and skill, and the final product. The top senior in each state is eligible to compete at the National 4-H Poultry and Egg Conference in Louisville, Ky. The conference is held annually the Wednesday and Thursday before Thanksgiving. It's a great opportunity to meet other 4-Hers from around the country.

To find a contest in your area, go to aces.edu/counties and search "egg demonstration." Don't have a contest in your county? Think about having your 4-H club start one.

John A. (Tony) Cook has been on the faculty of 4-H Youth Development, Alabama Cooperative Extension System at Auburn University since 1980 and on the faculty of the College of Education, Auburn University as an Assistant Professor since 1991. His work has primarily been in the area of science & technology education for young people involved in 4-H programs in Alabama but also across the country. Cook has provided leadership to such programs as a partnership with the U.S. Space & Rocket Center, Huntsville, Alabama and their Space Camp program by providing a special three-day program for youth in 4-H from around the country. He has provided leadership to statewide and national initiatives in science & technology literacy through numerous workshops and conferences, serving on national 4-H leadership teams on science & technology during the 1990s to the present, national promotion and leadership in the aerospace education community, leadership to a national level Community of Practitioners on the development of a national land grant university knowledge base designed and written for the youth audience through eXtension, and directing the development of a national level digital badging system for 4-H. His work at Auburn University with support from the Office of the Vice President for Research and the Alabama Cooperative Extension System has led to the development of the project discussed in this proposal to provide a safe and credible online learning resource for the school aged population of the U.S. inclusive of 4-H.

More recently, Cook has worked with a team on the development of a digital badge system for 4-H that will be introduced to the 4-H community in the Fall of 2013. Digital badges are web-enabled graphic images that contain detailed evidence of learning by the earner. 4-H will introduce five initial badges on the topic of robotics as testing and refinement is completed.

Every living creature on earth—from humans to protozoa—needs food in order to live. Food is energy. But how often do we think about where our food comes from? We go to the grocery and see shelves stacked with cans, boxes, fruits, and vegetables. But how did they get there?

Foods that we eat come from a variety of sources, many of which are grown on farms around the world. A lot of hard work goes into commercial food production. It all starts with a grower or farmer. From there, the whole food—apples, bananas, oranges, potatoes, and so on—goes to processors, transporters, packagers, and distribution centers before finally making it to your local retail grocer where you buy it.

Some of our food is left whole, like what you find in the fruit and vegetable section of the store—and some foods are processed and packaged into other products, such as bread and jelly.

Check out these websites to learn more about where your food comes from:

A farm is an area of land where livestock (animals) are raised and crops (plants) are grown for use as food, fiber, and fuel. The people who own and work on the farm are called farmers.

A farm usually has buildings where equipment such as tractors and supplies are stored. Some farms also have buildings where livestock are housed. These buildings usually have different names depending on the type of livestock that lives there. For example, chickens live in poultry houses and pigs live in swine parlors—sounds fancy, doesn't it?!

Farms are busy places. A day on the farm usually starts before the sun rises and ends after the sun has set. Farmers do not work alone. They have help from their families and other workers. Farmers do not take many vacations because there is always work that needs to be done.

There are many different kinds of farms. Large corporate farms grow one or two major crops or livestock. Middle-sized and small-sized farms grow many different types of crops and livestock.

Each type of farm has a list of chores that must be done every day. To get an idea of life on different kinds of farms, click on a farm type below.

A food chain shows how energy and nutrients are passed from one living thing to another. The food chain begins with a plant being eaten. Then an insect or animal eats the plant. Then another animal eats the insect or animal. This cycle continues until it reaches an animal at the top of the food chain. Animals that are at the top of the food chain generally are not eaten by other animals. Thankfully, humans are at the top of the food chain!

Animals are put into groups based on what they eat. For example:

Animals that only eat plants are called herbivores. Examples include caterpillars, squirrels, deer, and cows

Animals that eat other animals are called carnivores. Examples include lions, wolves, spiders, and snakes

Animals that eat both plants and animals are called omnivores. Examples include most birds, pigs, horses, and, of course, humans!

Plant pathologist Gail Wisler

Plant pathology is the field of agriculture that deals with the study of plant diseases. Plant disease can result in the loss of millions of pounds of food crops each year. Disease can decimate forests. And disease can scar urban and suburban landscapes.

Plant diseases are caused most often by pathogens. Pathogens are infectious germs (bacteria or viruses) that attack and damage plants. People who study and work to cure these diseases are called plant pathologists. Their success can mean the difference between feast and famine.

Careers based in plant pathology are many and varied. They range from research and biotechnology to landscape management and food safety. Career opportunities and challenges will be even greater in the future. We already see a growing trend in our society toward healthier foods, local sourcing, urban gardens, and green space. Throughout the world, demands for sustainable food, feed, fuel, and fiber are skyrocketing. All of this requires healthy plants.

Entomology is a big word meaning the study of insects. It is an extremely important field in agriculture. Have you ever seen a leaf that's been eaten by a bug? Imagine that on a larger scale. Insects have the potential to wipe out entire crops and, with them, a farmer's livelihood. Weevils are an example of a destructive insect. Insects also can bring disease to livestock. Ticks are an example. Yet many insects, such as bees, are beneficial and necessary to produce healthy crops.

A person who studies insects—the good, the bad, and the ugly—is called an entomologist. You might be surprised to learn how many careers are impacted by entomology. Take a look at this website produced by Washington State University. You'll discover more about what an entomologist does and how to become one.

Aquaculture is the aquatic version of agriculture. Aquatic plants and animals are grown in ponds, tanks, raceways, cages, and even in the ocean itself. Most people think about food when they think about aquaculture but aquaculture products are used in many different ways.

There are over 400 aquatic species of plants and animals that are used for:

Food - catfish, salmon, oysters, shrimp, trout, seaweed

Recreation – many farms grow sport fish like bass, bluegill and trout to stock lakes, rivers, and private ponds

Ornamental purposes – tropical aquarium fish, water garden fish and plants, cultured pearls

Medicinal – sponges, sea cucumbers and various algae

Agronomy is a branch of agriculture. Agronomy is the study of plants and soils and their environment. Agronomic science and technology are basic to sustaining the world's food supply and a quality environment. Agronomists are people who work in the field of Agronomy. Their jobs are to make sure that crops are grown in a way that protects the environment. The first farmers were like agronomists. They also worked to improve the soil, crops, and the environment in which they lived and worked.

Agronomist work in some of the following areas:

Soil fertility

Land use

Environmental preservation

Preserving water quality

Image of whole kernel

Kernels are the seeds of cereal grasses. We call the kernels "grain". The kernels are located at the top of the plant. This area is known as the head of the stalk. We eat the kernel of foods such as corn, wheat, oats, and sorghum. These foods are referred to as cereal grains. When someone says "whole grain" what they mean is that the kernel is still intact, ground, or cracked.

Hay is any grass that has been cut. It is often left to dry in the pasture in bales. The bales are stored in the loft or top area of a barn. If the bales are too big, farmers will stack them together and cover them with plastic to keep them fresh. The hay is then used as fodder to feed to livestock during the winter months.

Not to hijack, but I have a weird, sort of related question that I can't find the answer to. I got an email today from a member asking me a question about a specific post I had replied to in July. But at the bottom of the email I received was a note saying that the member responding to my post had chosen not to reveal their email address, so I couldn't respond to them via email. I did anyway, just to see what would happen, and I assumed it would come back if it didn't work. But it hasn't. Any insights? I hope this made some kind of sense . . .
Work: Many companies block email coming from Forums like this, so that may be the issue at work.
As to home or phone - it's not the machine you're on, it's the email client (e.g., gmail, Verizon, Comcast, etc.) that's important. The device is irrelevant (unless you've added rules to block and delete email coming from Gardenweb on your home computer and you download your mail from the server.)
Do you download your messages to your home computer or iPhone? If you do, do you leave them on the serve even after downloading to your device?

Should this be caulked?
Just put up some new exterior corner trim, 3 1/2" wide. I don't know if the building paper in intact or how it was installed way back in '47. I'm thinking I might not caulk but I'm not sure.
I was thinking the caulk would keep water from entering the house at the corners where the siding boards come together. I read that a on a properly wrapped house, the wrap would serve this purpose and caulk would only serve to keep water in, which I suppose assumes water WILL inevitably get in due to poor maintenance. I'm pretty sure that the building paper on my old house isn't functioning that well, so caulking might be a good idea, as long as I keep it maintained and painted.
BTW, all the boards at issue, siding and trim, have been primed and painted, including all end cuts, if that makes any difference.
I would not caulk that. There is 3 1/2" of coverage before water could enter to framing. So IOW there is zero risk of water entering and damaging the house. However, if caulked, you have created a perfect 3 1/2" water trap for any that did enter.
The risk outweighs the reward.
OK, sombreuil, that makes sense too. (I've just started learning some French and that word is a pronunciation challenge.) Once caulked, it's done, so I'll not caulk and pull up some trim this winter to check how it's going. The old trim wasn't caulked but for one corner and when I tore it all off, the caulked corner seemed a bit moist and this is months since the last rain. Admittedly, I hadn't properly maintained the caulk.
Thanks everyone,
To clarify, what the no-caulk camp is saying is that it's impossible to keep water out of this joint, even if it's maintained yearly? Or is the suggestion not to caulk based on the assumption the joint will NOT be maintained. Or maybe the moisture behind the trim is coming from inside the house? Additional varibles, I suppose, would include climate, insulation and condition of building wrap. A corner would be just wood, no insulation, so I'm not sure how that would effect moisture buildup from inside the house. Just curious as I'm now convinced not to caulk.

LA judge grants Jermaine Jackson name change
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Jermaine Jackson has a new, brighter surname- Jacksun.
A Los Angeles judge approved the change to singer's name Friday.
The 58-year-old, who shared lead singing duties with his younger brother Michael in the Jackson 5, did not appear in court.
He sought the name change for "artistic reasons" and says it has nothing to do with a recent rift in his family over the care of Michael Jackson's children and family matriarch Katherine Jackson.
His attorney Bret D. Lewis says Jacksun is in Europe performing with his brothers and told him that he was sure it was "a sunny day in California."
Lewis says he doesn't know whether Jacksun will elaborate on the creative reasons for the change.
