When one thinks of 17th-century England (to the extent that one would think of 17th-century England), it's unlikely that sexual liberation springs to mind. And yet the Restoration period transgressed traditional moral codes in ways that would have scandalized earlier generations. Such progressive attitudes are well represented in the bawdy explicitness of Restoration comedies, works that were originally performed — for the first time ever — by coed troupes. The era also produced a pioneering female playwright in Aphra Behn, a relentlessly quick-witted personality whose adventuresome exploits included serving as a spy for the Empire. Approaching the work as historical fiction, contemporary playwright Liz Duffy Adams places Behn at the center of a farcical triangle of seduction involving none other than the lustful King Charles II and the period's reigning cover girl, actress Nell Gwynne. Abounding with incognito figures, amorous deceptions, and enough saucy dialogue to ensure blushing, Adams's work avoids any historic staleness, even when adhering to the standards of Restoration comedies. Park Square Theatre's regional debut of the work boasts a cast stacked with highly lauded performers Emily Gunyou Halaas (Behn), Mo Perry (Gwynne), and Matt Guidry (Charles II). Directed by the assured hand of Leah Cooper, Or, wryly suggests that high-office trysts are practically a time-honored tradition.

Rated 4 out of 5�by Mike614 Very nice cooler! The EXTREME 50 held ice very well. Even with considerable opening and closing there was still ice after 4 days. October 22, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by ange1 This product has great features This product travels well and is super convenient! Great price too!! October 14, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5�by Joe13 Doesn't keep ice cold The main reason I bought this cooler was because it said it would hold ice for five days in 90 degree weather. It actually only lasted about a day, and in my backyard. So I wasn't too happy about that. The other complaint I have about it is that the handle doesn't lock in very well so you have to have it tilted quite a bit so it doesn't slide back down. October 8, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5�by Cooless 5 days? More like 5 hours! We bought this cooler because we had some cheaper coolers that wouldn't really hold well. Since this one touts "xtreme" and "keeps ice for 5 days" or something like that, we figured it'd work for camping trips and what not. Maan, I filled it with ice and not even an hour later I was draining water out of it and re-topping it off two hours later. We went on a two day camping trip and had to top it off the second day. The stuff was cold, but it was mostly water inside too, and it wasn't even that hot outside. Not impressed, but not horrible. October 7, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5�by Maddog52 Good Cooler PROS-All good stuff: (1) Sturdy Mobile Cooler-easy to roll (pull loaded)-wheels are OK (2) Keeps the contents cold as described and has a tight lid that does flip open easily (3) Capacity is just right for two cases of Water (16oz-48 bottles) or Gatorade(48 10oz bottles) with room for ice on bottom and top CONS-Needs improvement (1) Handle needs to be thicker and more sturdy (2) Handle does lock securely and slides down when trying to push-only works well when pulling the cooler (3) Wheels are plastic and should be rubber instead for strength and durability September 28, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Adi so awsome, Stays cold for so long. And it's so easy to wheel around. September 16, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Anthony Cool cooler coldest Love this cooler take it camping keep stuff cool and looks great ! September 15, 2015

Missouri lawmakers debate school-aid formula change
Sunday, April 17, 2011
Six years ago, Missouri lawmakers wrote a new formula for distributing aid to the state's 522 public school districts.
That formula made several substantial changes from previous financing plans on how the money was to be distributed and, for the first time, based the formula on the costs of educating students as shown by certain high-performing districts.
But the 2005 law's seven-year phase-in period for switching to the new plan from the 1993 law hasn't even been finished yet, and the state's tight financial situation has forced lawmakers to provide less money than planned.
Among the issues of contention is the amount of money distributed to so-called "hold-harmless" school districts, which are guaranteed to get aid at a specified funding level comparable to the amount they received under the old formula, if the new formula would provide less.
Those 161 districts include Camdenton R-3, Climax Springs R-6, Jamestown C-1, Tuscumbia R-3, Chamois R-1, School of the Osage, South Callaway R-2 and St. Elizabeth R-4.

Frankfurt Reception Center shuts down operations
September 26, 2012
By Mike Bowers, 21st TSC Public Affairs
KAISERSLAUTERN, Germany --Frankfurt's Gateway Reception Center, located in the Frankfurt International Airport will officially close Sept. 30. The closure is the final step in a process that began in February to migrate Army PCS incoming travelers to the Ramstein Gateway Reception Center located in the Ramstein Air Base Passenger Terminal.
Since February, the bulk of Army PCS travelers to Germany have been diverted to Ramstein, after reinstatement of the Patriot Express flights as the primary method of official travel for Soldier being assigned to U.S. Army Europe units. The Patriot Express is a Department of Defense chartered air travel, which originates at Baltimore/Washington International Airport in Maryland.
"The obvious impact is there will no longer be a Soldier presence at the Frankfurt airport, other than individual sponsors, " said Maj. Patrick Niestzche, 21st Theater Sustainment Command's 1st Human Resources Sustainment Center. " The closure of the FGRC means that all Soldiers arriving to USAREUR will be processed through the RGRC. If they arrive into Frankfurt airport, the responsibility to take care of their transition will belong to their new unit and sponsor."
The sponsorship bus service will also stop in conjunction with the FGRC closure, and there will no longer be transportation to outlying communities after Sept. 30, said Niestzche. "Soldiers and their families travelling on leave would often use the sponsorship bus on a space-available basis," he said.
Should Soldiers arrive at the Frankfurt airport, they may seek assistance at the USO, located in Hall C of Terminal 2. The USO has telephones and computers for use to make contact with sponsors or their unit of assignment.
The FGRC was once the reception and staging point for all Soldiers and their family members entering the European theater on permanent-change-of-station orders.
At the height of the FGRC's existence, the 22-person staff daily monitored 40 flights originating from the United States with 12 buses shuttling Soldiers and family members to 11 different communities throughout Germany.
Those that have questions about the Patriot Express should visit http://www.eur.army.mil/g1/content/misc/RGRC/index.html or contact the Ramstein Gateway Reception Center at DSN 479-4298 or civilian 06371-46-4298.

Three businesses in different areas of Columbus were discovered burglarized on the same day, resulting in about $14,000 worth of store property taken, police said.
At 8 a.m. Monday, a burglary was reported on the city's far east side at Raft To Rafters, 5780 25th St., according to a Columbus Police Department media release.
An $8,000 spa dolly and a $5,000 Saratoga spa were stolen from a fenced storage area between Friday night and Monday morning. The missing items were discovered after employees arrived to open the business, police said in the statement.
Three hours later, on the city's far west side, a burglary involving $900 worth of merchandise was reported at Sam's Club, 2715 Merchant Mile, said Columbus Police spokesman Lt. Matt Myers.
Investigators have no suspects after 60 used car
batteries, worth about $15 apiece, were reported stolen at 11:18 a.m. from inside the store's automotive department, Myers said. The culprits broke a lock and removed a chain that was being used to secure the batteries, he said.
At 10:52 p.m., a burglary was reported at Kramer's Restaurant, 1606 Central Ave., by an employee of an adjoining business, Myers said. Shortly after the employee noticed loud banging and thumping coming from the north side door of the restaurant, he heard a security alarm go off and called police, Myers said.
When officers arrived, they found the side door had been pried open, but investigators believe the alarm scared off the burglars before they were able to take anything of value, Myers said.
Anyone with information on the burglaries can contact the Columbus Police Department at 376-2600. Anonymous tips are accepted.

MANY CLINICIANS consider a sufficiently high risk of stroke to be the clearest indication for pharmacological therapy of patients with mild to moderate hypertension. The rationale is derived from several recent overviews or meta-analyses of data from randomized trials. For stroke, there are clear reductions of about 40%, whereas for coronary heart disease (CHD), there are possible reductions of 9% to 14%.1-3 In those trials, the magnitude of the reduction in diastolic blood pressure (DBP) was 5 to 6 mm Hg, and the duration of treatment was about 3 to 5 years. In observational studies, such changes in DBP over longer periods are associated with about a 40% decrease in stroke but 20% to 25% reductions in risk of CHD.3,4
Several possible explanations have been offered for the smaller risk reductions in CHD observed in trials than predicted in observational studies. First, the beneficial effects on stroke may

Thursday, June 23, 2011
GEORGETOWN, Del. (AP) — A former Delaware pediatrician who decorated his office with Disney characters and miniature amusement park rides was found guilty Thursday of sexually abusing scores of his young patients.
Earl Bradley, 58, recorded homemade videos of the abuse, said prosecutors, who presented the judge with more than 13 hours of videos showing sex crimes against more than 80 victims, most of whom were toddlers.
Superior Court Judge William Carpenter Jr. announced the verdict in business-like fashion, avoiding any personal remarks about Bradley. An indictment against Bradley contained 470 counts, but attorneys agreed before the trial to consolidate them into 24 counts.
Bradley was convicted on all of them, including 14 rape charges that each carried a maximum punishment of life in prison. He will be sentenced Aug. 26.
Bradley showed no visible reaction when the verdict was announced, but some of the spectators cried.
Carpenter presided over a one-day trial in which prosecutors called two witnesses and presented the judge with an external hard drive containing the videos, recorded from December 1998 to Dec. 13, 2009. Bradley was arrested after a 2-year-old girl told her mother the doctor hurt her after an office visit, an accusation that came just days before the last video was recorded.
Bradley waived his right to a jury trial after Carpenter denied a motion by defense attorneys to prevent the videos from being admitted as evidence. The defense claims they were illegally seized.
The defense presented no case at trial so they could more quickly appeal the judge's decision allowing the videos to be used as evidence.
Attorney Dean Johnson reiterated Thursday that he would appeal the judge's decision after Bradley's sentencing. He declined further comment, citing a gag order that remains in effect until the sentencing. Attorney General Beau Biden also declined to comment.
The case rocked the close-knit community of Lewes, a town of about 3,100 on the southern Delaware coast. Families had to identify victims, and the scandal pitted some spouses against each other, and parents against grandparents. Guilt over leaving children alone with Bradley lurked in the background for some.
Bradley's office in Lewes was known for its many toys, merry-go-round and Ferris wheel. While Bradley secretly recorded some videos in Disney-themed exam rooms, the most brutal attacks occurred in a basement or a backroom where he lured children with promises of candy or toys.
Bradley's arrest followed previous police investigations and years of suspicions among parents. His colleagues also questioned his strange behavior, including being overly affectionate with children and not looking adults in the eye.
After his arrest, reviews found that state medical society officials, individual doctors and the Delaware Department of Justice violated state law by not reporting possible unprofessional behavior by Bradley to the medical licensing board. The board itself was criticized for failing to act on information it did receive about Bradley.
Gov. Jack Markell signed nine bills about a year ago prompted by the Bradley case that tightened regulation of doctors and clarified the obligations of the medical and law-enforcement communities to report and communicate about suspected physician misconduct and child abuse.

AUSTIN, Texas — A San Francisco startup that created a tiny motion-sensing device is making a big splash at South by Southwest, overshadowing major tech brands and scores of new applications with its promise of changing how consumers interact with their computers.
In its debut appearance at the conference known more as a music and film festival, Leap Motion Inc. wowed attendees with its "Minority Report"-style gesture-recognition controller, which enables users to manipulate what's on their screens with a wave of the hand or lift of a finger. Tech enthusiasts say Leap Motion could help usher in the age of touchless computing.
The company was one of hundreds of startups at South by Southwest Interactive, the tech component of the annual Austin festival that is increasingly becoming a must-attend event for rising technology companies. SXSW organizers said they expected a 5 to 8 percent increase in the number of Interactive registrants this year from 24,569 in 2012.
Whereas the International Consumer Electronics Show, or CES, in Las Vegas is geared toward showing off the latest TVs and tablets, Interactive is more a place for techies to debut brand-new technology and share pie-in-the-sky ideas.
So the most buzz-worthy moments during the five-day event, which began Friday, surrounded the Leap Motion controller and Elon Musk's keynote, in which the founder of Space Exploration Technologies Corp. and Tesla Motors Inc. discussed hovering rockets, his idea for a new high-speed mode of transportation dubbed the "hyperloop," and space travel to Mars.
"I'd like to die on Mars — just not on impact," Musk said.
Leap Motion's turn as the belle of the ball also signaled a shift for Interactive, which typically skews more software- and app-heavy. Twitter and Foursquare exploded onto the scene at past SXSW festivals, leading many venture capitalists and technology commentators to look to the conference as a forecaster for the next big Web startup.
This year, however, it was all about the Leap Motion sensor, a 3-inch-long device about the size of a pack of gum. The company announced the 3-D gesture controller in May but waited until SXSW to unveil it on a large scale.
The Leap Motion device, which the company is calling a "new frontier for hands and fingers," sits in front of a computer and can track gestures within an 8-cubic-foot area. It has a sensitivity said to be 200 times that of Microsoft's Kinect or Nintendo's Wii and can even track different finger movements.

Sinclair FM Watch Radio
From Planet Sinclair: The FM Wristwatch Radio was an LCD digital watch with a built-in FM radio. It was Sinclair's second attempt at a wrist radio - the first was the Transrista of 1964 (actually a Micro-6 with a nylon strap). The watch used a cunning bellows-type arrangement that enabled the chunky face to be broken into three sections which hinged where they joined, so they could make some attempt at bending around your wrist. At the top was the tuner, the middle section was the speaker and volume control, and the bottom was the watch itself, with light, mode and function buttons and the on/off dial for the radio.

Even the crows don't touch GM corn anymore...
For the last two years or so, all the crows in the Defence Colony-Jangpura flyover area absolutely refuse to even touch the corn spread out on the roadside for birds by people, while the pigeons continue to gobble them up. One does not see squirrels nearby either—but the crows stand out by their steadfast refusal to touch the corn
For a couple of years now, I have observed, along with the people who spread corn and other grains, both coarse as well as otherwise, by way of birdseed on the Defence Colony-Jangpura flyover in New Delhi, that the crows have stopped eating corn when spread. They used to go for it, along with other grains, but now wait for the more expensive 'jowar' (millet, sorghum) or 'bajra' (pearl millet).
Crows are supposed to be extremely intelligent creatures, and for years I have been laying out water in assorted bowls for them as well as for other birds and creatures, as a result of which they tend to let me get quite close before shying away. Theory is that a few generations of crows in the neighbourhood are now comfortable with my presence, and some will let me come within a metre if I don't make sudden moves and keep my arms very visible.
Very rarely, I have also been successful, especially during the summers, in getting them to pick up pieces of biscuit or 'roti' from my hands. Of late, however, they appear to lose interest in the biscuits and take the rotis away, to dip them in water and then eat them. They've also become more aggressive with attacking smaller birds at the water baths.
However, for the last two years or so, all the crows in the neighbourhood absolutely refuse to even touch the corn spread out on the roadside for birds by people, while the pigeons continue to gobble them up. One does not see squirrels nearby either—but the crows stand out by their steadfast refusal to touch the corn. This is being repeated for effect—because crows used to be the biggest pests in corn fields at one time.
This is very amazing, because crows are natural scavengers, and would usually eat almost anything. It is not as though they are over-fed or selective—drop any other kind of waste food, and they will go for it with great gusto. But a single phone call to a friend who is a farmer, and plants Monsanto's "DEKALB" brand seeds, re-confirms that the crows don't disturb his fields anymore either.
And here's the latest on why the crows may not be eating genetically modified (GM) corn any more: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/01/12/monsantos-gmo-corn-linked_n_420365.html
Not a very recent article, it has been around for a while, but gains importance again in this context. Please take a close look at this photo, and see how the crows are simply not going anywhere near the corn spread on the pavement: http://www.flickr.com/photos/vm2827/6580715503/in/photostream
Look closely, and you will see the crows lined up on the vertical wire just centimetres away from the corn, but steadfastly refusing to eat it. While the pigeons gobble away.
Please come to the Defence Colony/Jangpura flyover in Delhi, any morning, and take a look. And then let us know—should we be worried, if even the crows won't eat it?

Proloy Coomar Pramanik 4 years ago
Have you attempted spreading out non-GM corn on the same stretch of road, and seen that the crows in that locality do agree to partake of them? Without this necessary control experiment, the conclusions drawn are unwarranted and specious. If the experiment shows that the crows refused to eat even regular, non genetically modified corn, then I don't know how one could assert that crows have stopped eating GM corn specifically.
And was any ill-effect observed on the pigeons who did eat the GM corn? Did the pigeons die off...? Or are we suggesting that whether GM crops are good or not be decided based on the relative brain sizes of pigeons and crows? Whatever the crows do agree to eat, could that be considered safe for human consumption too?

But you have asked a valid question on GM corn vs non-GM corn in Delhi. Please guide me on where I can purchase normal non-GM corn in Delhi's wholesale markets, lately, and oblige.
The way I see it, this is our shared courtyard, and we are all eligible to draw any conclusions basis skill-sets and parameters drawn. Ergo, QED, and good luck - and once again, thank you for writing in.

If this version of Occam's Razor were to be considered "scientific", then a falling feather would certainly be experiencing a smaller gravitational acceleration due to the earth than a falling stone. Because, it's quite evident to everyone, be they of whatever persuasions, that a feather does indeed reach the ground much later than a stone. This razor is outstandingly parsimonious with respect to truth and a spirit of scientific inquiry.
This is without prejudice to the merits of your reported observations. I welcome them. But, conclusions drawn without cross-examination or objective scrutiny lie in the domain of impulsive oversimplification, not simplicity.
Unfortunately, I live in Hyderabad, not Delhi. So my knowledge of the Delhi wholesale markets is not something I can be called proud of. But, if indeed the population of Delhi is only getting to eat GM corn now (which even crows refuse to eat), and if I could assume that this has been the case for some length of time, then I'd actually feel a degree of confidence that GM may not be all that bad. I know you've already provided links that suggest that the harm from GM may be long-term (like, say, slow arsenic poisoning). But there is something called as Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF). When hard-disks are said to have an MTBF of 50000 hrs of operation, it's not that any such hard disk has actually been operated for 50000 hrs and seen to survive. What's done is to spin about 500 disks continuously for 100+ hrs each, all together, and finding that not a single disk failed within 100 hrs (and proportionately further). While this approach may not look absolutely convincing, it's surprisingly significant statistically, especially after applying some coefficients, and matches closely with the manufacturers' warranty replacement experience over the actual lifetime of the disks in operation. Therefore, if say 10000 Delhi-ites have been consuming consuming GM corn for one year, and say, 250 of them developed some weirdo symptoms lately, then the MTBF because of GM corn could be roughly considered to be 40 years (assuming that nothing other than GM corn was instrumental in the appearance of the symptoms).
We are all free to hold our own opinions and preferences. I respect that. But it isn't the same as freedom to draw any conclusion as one pleases. Conclusions, in so far as they are meant to represent an assertion of a fact (if not irrefutable, at least a strongly evidenced one), have to be based on common agreement. However, to fully respect people's right to exercise choice, I strongly advocate very explicit marking of such products as GM ones. This should be statutory. Those who wish to take the risks (for reasons best understood by them) can buy and consume, those who don't wish, can refrain. (The pigeons and crows, unfortunately, were denied that right to informed choice -- but looks like they figured that out regardless. ;-) ).

This is hardly a new phenomenon. Take some butter, some suet and some lard and make a ball with some "Country Crock" trans-fat fake butter and you will see that, even in the dead of winter, birds will pick the natural fat clean and leave the portion of Country Crock right on the ground...

Dear Proloy ji,
1) A feather that has been tightly compressed will fall at the same speed as a stone, so that takes care of that - and a stone that is thrown in the water may well not fall as it skips a few times over the surface while the feather floats on. Occam's Razor is capable of responding to all these aspects . . .
2) Scientific enquiry has for decades been trying to prove that smoking is not the cause for an assortment of ailments. Let us take it with a pinch of Sodium Chloride.
3) The crows are not eating corn on the pavements of Delhi anymore. The crows are not attacking corn fields anymore. The crows are probably the smartest of all birds and in terms of survival skills match the cockroach.
4) My form of scientific inquisitiveness teaches me to look beyond the lab and numbers. It is like being on a ship at sea or an airplane in the air, and I qualified for both in my days - we have the best of equipment, but still, nothing beats looking out of the window, cockpit, bridge wings, smell the air, check the sea-state and traffic around, see what the clouds are up to, gaze at the horizon and state of the world, to get a wider more holistic understanding of what is really happening out there.
Having said that, I truly appreciate your writing in, and hope you shall carry out your own enquiries too and let me know more observations from your end?
thank you!!

Dear VM,
Thank you for your responses.
I do appreciate your writing this article in public interest, and trying to make people aware of the dangers of genetically modified corn (and, I'd assume, by extension other GM food). It's indeed a matter of serious concern if crows have started a wholesale boycott of GM corn, have refused to eat GM corn spread on the streets, and have also stopped attacking GM corn fields (though I'm not quite sure why one should be inclined to invite such an attack). That the crows have done this, but not the pigeons, is indeed testimony to the superior intellectual capacity of the crows (inferred either by applying Occam's Razor, or by looking out of the window, or by a combination of both). I'm not too sure how the crows actually got to know that it was genetically modified, given that even humans cannot distinguish without being told. (I'm getting to develop an inferiority complex as regards the crows now...)
Since the color and texture seem to be no different, for the crows to be able to detect it from a distance, and boycott it, it must be an olfactory signature that's characteristic of the GM corn. I'll have to do some research on whether crows do have noses.
Anyway, admire your scientific inquisitiveness, across land, water and sea. It's good to apply Occam's Razor principles through open windows, and also through television screens, movie theatres, coffee-table magazines and placards. One needs to keep one's scientific eyes open to all of these.
There is just a minor point of detail regarding your article. The Monsanto DEKALB corn variety that you've mentioned is NOT genetically modified.
The GM varieties usually go by the name BT. This variety is biotechnologically modified to contain a gene from soil bacteria called Bacillus Thuringiensis, which produces a toxic protein that kills plant pathogens. As far as I know, the only permitted GM crop in India is Bt-Cotton, which now has extensive adoption, and has revolutionized production. The first food crop that was proposed was Bt-Brinjal, but that was shelved after the huge brouhaha over it last year. The government has not yet permitted Bt-Corn production in India (or any other food crop), though Monsanto does sell it legally in several other countries including the US and China. So, if you believe the Delhi supermarkets are flooded with GM corn (which even crows are refusing to eat), it deserves a representation to the government, if not a PIL, because such GM corn has to be completely contraband, in view of such production being yet to be permitted in India.
As per the Monsanto India website, the DEKALB corn varieties (17 of them sold in India) are regular hybridized corn. Which means they have been produced by selective crossing of natural corn varieties themselves. They do not contain foreign genes (like the Bt gene) implanted from foreign organisms. So, calling them GM corn is completely misleading. Of course, all hybridization is a genetic procedure, but then so is all sexual reproduction!
Hybridization is a hundreds of years old procedure that hasn't exactly been a Monsanto invention. It has been practised in India too since ages, including in gaon-dehaat, and is the bread-and-butter stuff of most agricultural universities and institutes today, whose day-to-day research consists in evolving newer, higher-yielding, disease-resistant hybrid varieties. I'd be interested in knowing whether the crows only have objection to Monsanto DEKALB hybrids, or whether they have equal dislike for homebred, say, PUSA or SONARA corn too. If just DEKALB, I'd be quite inspired by the crows' patriotism!
The DEKALB hybrids too have been in existence since the 1910s, which is when the eponymous company started (which was taken over by Monsanto in the late 1990s). The biotech procedures of gene-injection are only a few years' old invention.
Monsanto has plans of introducing Bt-Corn in India in 2012-13 (of course, subject to governmental approval) as per the following article:
Unfortunately, I've not had any first-hand experience in scientifically investigating the effect of GM foods -- it's not my domain of expertise. When I do manage to get my hands on some Bt-Brinjal or such, I'll try to leave them on the pavement, and report back looking over my window on whether rats are showing inclination to eat it or are giving it a thumbs down. Till then, perhaps the following paper on the effects of GM crops on mammalian health may be of use, for those interested:
Here is another survey on the issue:
Regarding whether or not feathers need to be 'tightly compressed' to experience the same gravitational acceleration as a stone, is elementary high-school physics. But that is beside the point since you're not making any claims that basic physics is needed to be known for scientific inquiries.
In the meantime, let's raise a toast to the crows, who have stopped eating GM corn even before it has been introduced in India. Such proactive boycotts and protestations will go a long way in furthering the public cause in India. Btw, did you verify that the "more expensive" jowar and bajra that the crows now seem to have upgraded their diet to, aren't themselves Monsanto crops too? Last heard, Monsanto does sell high-yield hybrid varieties of those seeds too in India.
It just piques me a little bit that nowadays scientific articles seem to get published more in politico-economic journals, and sometimes Cineblitz, Gladrags, and Paanchjanya, than in actual science journals. Modern democracy at work!
Certain M.S. Swaminathans and Norman Borlaugs have spoken in favour of GM food crops, but then in what way can they be a match for the intelligence of crows? After all, what they write are not scarecrow articles.

Dear Proloy,
Thank you for your well-researched response which has certainly added to the knowledge base of readers here as well as taught me how much I have to learn about descriptive writing.
So let us go through the known facts again, please:-
1) Crows have stopped eating corn in India, on street or in the fields, and they are currently unable to decipher the labels. However, as we all know, labels and documentation on global foodgrain and seed movements can certainly be misleading - as I learnt when working on ships bringing PL-480 grains including corn into India in the '70s from the US. You may recall a certain pesticide scandal of that era in that context which was hushed up, but then, those were the days when such things weren't unknown, and we Indians have always somehow accepted that we should promote a sort of Macaulay and Muller ingrained inferiority complex on our own judgements on what is or is not good for us. The crows, being unaware of such finer points of syntax, grammar and law, and not having been subjected to aforesaid Macaulay/Muller, may have taken this decision despite all documentation - but they have.
2) This corn may or may not be GM, or it may or may not be hybrid, or it may or may not be mis-labelled. But, as I stated before, the crows have stopped eating corn. This may not satisfy the level of scientific provenance that the world is pushed towards accepting - but then, we might as well also look at the kind of gyaan coming our way from the same dehaats which gave us hybrids - otherwise carrots would not have been orange, right, and where would our eyes have been then?
3) The global import and export of corn has brought India into a position as a nett importer of corn, from zero in 2000, to over a million tonnes last year. This comes from all over the world, and as on date there is no way to decide its provenance, on whether it is GM, hybrid or from assorted dehaats worldwide. The level of international MNCs like Monsanto using a certain vagueness in labelling and documentation can best be seen, for example, on the way Dairy Milk by Cadbury Kraft is actually not a chocolate in India. But I digress.
4) As for the brand name DEKALB, and its usage for GM corn as well as hybrid/GM as well as hybrid/?? is well documented - and well discussed.
I would like to continue, but am watching a fairly relevant movie called FAIR GAME at the moment, and shall gladly complete this in a while.

The polite way in which Mr. Pramanik and Mr. Malik have engaged in a debate is to be commended. Generally, I have seen such debates marked by name calling and intemperate remarks.
Corporates like Monsanto have too often shown their love of lucre at the cost of lives. The most glaring example (atleast for Indians) is Union Carbide. Even the western world has it's fair share of tragedies. The Minimata disease (for details http://www1.american.edu/ted/MINAMATA.HT...), the thalidomide babies (details http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thalidomide) show that it is better to be safe than sorry.

|GOP Gubernatorial Hopefuls Sound Off in Debate
|Commentary/Politics - Iowa Politics
|Tuesday, 28 May 2002 18:00
In a televised debate on Saturday, May 25, at St. Ambrose University's Galvin Fine Arts Center, the three Republican candidates for Iowa governor took plenty of shots at incumbent Tom Vilsack, but they frequently failed to establish specifics on their own agendas.
Only Doug Gross, a chief of staff for former Governor Terry Branstad, consistently took positions on questions asked by the three panelists (which included me).
Gross (of Des Moines), Iowa state Representative Steve Sukup (of Dougherty), and businessman Bob Vander Plaats (of Sioux City) will face off in the June 4 primary.
Much of the discussion in the early part of the debate concerned the state budget, which faces deficits of more than $200 million in both the current and the next fiscal year. While the legislature tapped into a variety of funds to bridge the budget gap this year, it's estimated that the state will begin its 2004 fiscal year with a deficit of nearly $1 billion.
All three candidates faulted Vilsack's handling of the budget – saying that his spendthrift ways took the state from a surplus of nearly $1 billion to the current deficit – but only Gross offered an answer when asked three specific departments he'd cut and three areas of state spending he'd protect beyond what's already been done or proposed.
Gross said he'd freeze public-employee salaries, cut Medicaid (which is severely over-budget), and institute "rolling sunsets" of all state agencies that would force departments to justify their existences and their budgets. He said he'd protect education, public-safety, and economic-development funding under any circumstances.
Vander Plaats said he'd cut the Department of Human Services (DHS) and protect education and "services to our most vulnerable," but he didn't go beyond that. When Gross asked him the same question later, Vander Plaats remained vague, repeating cutting DHS and saying he would reorganize state employees and implement a "complete systems change."
Sukup was more specific but still didn't fully answer the question. He said he'd protect education and cut DHS. He also said he'd create a Program Elimination Commission to look at all state spending. The commission would have seven members, and its recommendations would have to be voted on by the legislature without amendment.
Vander Plaats differentiated himself from his opponents by saying that he doesn't have the baggage they do, and he sounded a refrain on leadership. "I believe everything rises and falls on leadership," he said.
Vander Plaats said Sukup doesn't have results to show for his eight years in the legislature. "You've been in the legislature for eight years," he said. "Now all of a sudden it's important to say, 'Now let's reduce our taxes on our senior citizens.' What happened in the eight years you were in the legislature?"
Vander Plaats also criticized Gross, an attorney, for representing corporate hog facilities. "I believe I'm the only candidate who can win against Tom Vilsack," he said. Yet Vander Plaats, who calls his leadership record "exemplary," doesn't mention that he doesn't have a public-sector history to pick apart.
On education, although the candidates each invoked local control, they offered different platforms.
"We've separated the funding streams at the state level back to local school districts," Vander Plaats said. "We need to reimburse on a per-student-served basis and let the local leaders reach the expectations for the children."
Sukup suggested statewide reading programs and reading goals, while Gross said the state shouldn't be telling school districts what to do. He said the state should require that school districts adopt measurable goals for their improvement plans, and the state should ensure those are being met. "The state's responsibility is to fund and examine, but not to dictate," he said.
On taxes and economic development, Sukup suggested that Iowa cut its capital-gains-tax rate and said the state should focus on small business.
Gross said the state should reduce taxes and regulation on the biotechnology industry to create a higher-wage job climate. He also supported research-and-development and investment tax credits, and allowing businesses to carry net-operating losses for a longer period of time.
Vander Plaats advocated a "competitive tax structure" and said the state shouldn't be deciding which types of businesses it wants to attract.
All three candidates supporting reforming the Department of Human Services. Vander Plaats and Sukup said they would support removing Director Jessie Rasmussen. Vander Plaats also recommended a public-private partnership to reform the agency. Sukup and Gross, on the other hand, voiced their support for a measure that would trigger an on-site evaluation by DHS whenever a live-in partner moves in with a family.

CHICAGO ( MainStreet) -- In one piece of positive economic news, government figures show that exports of goods and services have been increasing this year, up 4% in the first quarter and 6% in the second. From July 2011 to July 2012, the total value of exports from the U.S. was almost $5 billion, up nearly 3% from last year.Looked at through a global lens, however, that output isn't quite so impressive. The World Bank ranks the U.S. almost last among industrialized countries in exports as a percent of GDP (only Japan and Brazil export as little, percentage-wise, as we do). The good news? There's plenty of room for improvement -- especially within the small-business community.

[NOTE: The boys volleyball report is scheduled to be published in The Record every other week throughout the spring. For the weeks it does not appear in the paper, this feature will make its home right here on Varsity Aces.]
Last Saturday, Fair Lawn senior Chris Nugent became the ninth boys volleyball player in North Jersey history to surpass 1,000 career kills. The 6-foot-4 outside hitter is also the fifth in Bergen County history to reach the milestone and the third in program history.
The Cutters, No. 4 in this week's JerseySports.com State Top 10, split a tri-match with two other teams ranked in the poll. They fell to No. 3 Southern Regional, 23-25, 25-18, 25-20, then came back to sweep No. 5 Old Bridge, 25-23, 25-21. Nugent put away 20 kills in the first match and 16 in the latter, hitting the millennium mark in game two versus Old Bridge and ending the day with 1,001.
Through Tuesday's non-league victory at No. 8 Hillsborough, Fair Lawn had a record of 25-3 and Nugent was up to 1,020 career kills with a chance to move into eighth place all-time in North Jersey on Wednesday against Bergen Catholic.
The other members of the North Jersey 1,000-kill club (including Nugent's older brother at the top of the list):
1.) Dan Nugent, Fair Lawn Class of 2011 – 1,183
2.) Ziggy Goryn, Wayne Hills '02 – 1,164
3.) Dave Noonan, Fair Lawn '02 – 1,152
4.) Brad Kniewel, Lakeland '00 – 1,142
5.) Greg Beebe, Hackensack '03 – 1,138
6.) Brendan McCullagh, Bergen Catholic '12 – 1,116
7.) Jay Sawicki, Wayne Hills '03 – 1,113
8.) Jose Silva, Harrison '06 – 1,023
Kniewel was the first boys volleyball player in state history to surpass the milestone, and Noonan and Goryn became Nos. 2 and 3, respectively, within days of each other in May 2002. According to the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) record book, the all-time leader in both New Jersey and U.S. history is 2006 Newark East Side graduate Wellington Perez with 1,383. After Perez, the N.J. leaderboard includes Ryan Fredrickson (Southern Regional '05) with 1,301, Devin Zolnowski (Bridgewater-Raritan '05) with 1,231, Dan Nugent, Alfredo Rodriguez (Livingston '05) with 1,170, Goryn and Noonan.
Elsewhere around the courts this week:
* The cutoff to qualify for the state tournament is Tuesday, and while other sports have gone to power-points systems to determine postseason entrants, boys volleyball still requires a .500 win percentage regardless of strength of schedule.
North Jersey teams that already have secured bids (with records through Tuesday's matches): Fair Lawn (25-3), Lakeland (16-4), Bergen Catholic (16-6), Clifton (14-3), Harrison (14-5), Wayne Valley (14-6), Wayne Hills (14-9) and Don Bosco (12-5). Teaneck (10-7) has three matches left – including Fair Lawn in the Bergen semifinals on the cutoff date – and one up in the air… Wednesday night's scheduled meeting with Clifton was scratched (something about some sort of "county tournament" for the Mustangs) and does not need to be made up since it does not affect league standings.
Other teams still alive: Passaic Tech (10-10) – the Bulldogs have at least four matches left before the cutoff, including the State Vo-Tech tournament… Hackensack (9-10) – three matches remain for the Comets, including a grudge match with Teaneck, which knocked them out of the Bergen County tournament on Tuesday… Eastside (7-9) – according to the schedule I have, the Ghosts have two matches left, Fair Lawn and Wayne Hills, both on the road. Perhaps they'll try to add a couple more matches in the coming days in an effort to gain their first-ever playoff bid? We shall see… Passaic (8-12) has two scheduled matches left and cannot get in unless it adds a few.
* The Big North has crowned its 2013 division champs, for the most part: Fair Lawn went 8-0 in the Independence Division to win the title over Lakeland (5-3 in division)… Clifton finished 10-0 in the Liberty to claim the title over Eastside and Passaic Tech, which tied for second at 6-4 in division … Don Bosco swept past Bergen Catholic last Friday, 25-15, 25-18, to clinch at least a share of the Freedom crown. The Ironmen are 6-0 in division and need to beat Hackensack on Wednesday to take it outright, since BC is 5-2 with one division match left.
In the West Jersey Volleyball League (WJVL), Harrison went 6-4 to finish runner-up to Vernon (9-1)… and unofficial "NJIC championship" goes to Garfield, which beat Wallington in the teams' first match-up on April 23. The rematch had been slated for Monday but was cancelled because the Panthers had to play Fair Lawn in the Bergen County quarterfinals that day.
* Finally, here is an updated North Jersey Top 5, including others knocking on the door (see above for win-loss records):
NORTH JERSEY TOP 5 RANKINGS (for May 9)
1. Fair Lawn
2. Lakeland
3. Don Bosco
4. Wayne Valley
5. Bergen Catholic
ALSO: Clifton, Teaneck, Harrison, Wayne Hills
