U.S. District Judge Mary Lou Robinson has dismissed a civil rights complaint filed by an Amarillo man convicted in 1994 of sexually assaulting and kidnapping an 8-year-old girl and her sister.
David Matthew Layton, who filed the complaint in 2011 against 47th District Attorney Randall Sims, is now serving three life sentences for one conviction of aggravated sexual assault of a child and two aggravated kidnapping convictions.
Layton claimed in court filings that Sims violated his constitutional due process rights by not submitting several items for DNA testing: a bloody knife found in Layton's pickup, hair samples taken from the truck's left rear tire and an electrical cord authorities said Layton used to choke one of his victims.
In a court order issued Wednesday, Robinson rejected Layton's complaint and ordered that it be dismissed.
In 2006, an Amarillo trial court judge issued findings of fact and legal conclusions that said there were no "previously unresolved facts material" to Layton's imprisonment or his claims that the trial court erred by denying his motion for post-conviction DNA testing.
The trial court's ruling was upheld by Amarillo's 7th Court of Appeals, and the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals denied Layton's application Jan. 25, 2006. In 2011, the Court of Criminal Appeals denied Layton's petition for discretionary review of the issues. The next month, Layton, acting as his own attorney, filed another complaint, claiming there was a "reasonable probability" that jurors would have found him not guilty if the DNA testing results were admitted at his trial.
Layton, then a 40-year-old house painter, was charged in November 1994 with aggravated kidnapping, aggravated sexual assault and attempted murder. Authorities said Layton posed as a police officer, abducted two girls from San Jacinto Elementary School, took them to a caliche pit north of Amarillo Boulevard, sexually assaulted one of the girls and then tried to kill them.
According to court filings, Layton ran over one girl with his pickup and then tried to strangle the other child. An Amarillo man told investigators he saw a seriously injured girl crawling out of the caliche pit, put her in his truck and summoned help.
The girl was taken to a local hospital, where she told staff and police that her sister was still "out there," according to court records.
Officers found the sister at the pit. A doctor testified at trial that one girl suffered a severe cut to her head and the youngest child suffered injuries "like you see with strangulation." Both girls appeared to have been run over by a vehicle, but survived the attack because of their young age, the doctor testified.
On Nov. 8, 1994, a Potter County sheriff's deputy spotted a pickup matching the description of the attacker's vehicle in the 4200 block of West 15th Avenue. After obtaining a warrant, officers searched the pickup and recovered forensic evidence linked to the children and the crime scene. When questioned by police, Layton denied being near the caliche pits, then changed his story and said he had been there the previous night, court records show.

This sexy retro style video is actually a behind-the-scenes look at a modelling session for V magazine in which the gorgeous Miranda Kerr dresses up and pretends to be the famous Italian porn star and politician Ciccolina.

The versatile model is known for being the wife of hot actor Orlando Bloom and she looks at least a decade younger than her 31 years of age in these photos.

There's a new line of lingerie or something that we don't really care that much, but what we do care about is Miranda Kerr in silky underwear posing with her sexy body in this video, and as a bonus she brought a friend with her.
Come on and click play to see these behind the scenes shots for the new Victoria's Secret ad with one of our favorite angels, Miranda Kerr. We guarantee that you will enjoy it.
Apparently the lingerie that Miranda Kerr is wearing in this photos costs about 2.5 million dollars, so that's going a little crazy when it comes to buying lingerie for the erotic goddess in your own life, don't you think? However, if Miranda Kerr asked you to buy it you would probably rob a bank or something.
Anyways, Miranda Kerr is one of the most famous angels, and because she has an amazing body, great tits and is completely gorgeous,it doesn't matter if she is wearing this pricey lingerie or a one dollar bra.

Women in Science Project
6243 Parker House
Hanover, NH 03755
Phone: 603-646-3690
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
The purpose of WISP's Research Internship Program is to provide meaningful research experiences that will positively impact the retention of young women who have expressed an interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). The program focuses on first year (and some second year) students because of their high motivation, but also their high potential for attrition from the sciences. It is specifically for women students because their overall attrition rate from STEM disciplines continues to be higher than that of their male peers. First-year women are eligible for research internships in any science discipline. Sophomores can apply for research internships in chemistry, computer science, engineering, math, and physics. Student interns are paid hourly wages for two terms of part-time research with a faculty mentor.
The WISP research internship program is sustained by committed faculty mentors (new and experienced) who are willing to work closely with these young women and carefully guide and support them though one of their first research experiences. All tenured, tenure-track, and research-track faculty at the college and professional schools are eligible to supervise undergraduates in research. The category of research-track faculty includes research assistant professors, research associate professors, and research professors. For faculty affiliated with the Geisel School of Medicine, those with the titles of Assistant Professor, Associate Professor or Full Professor are also eligible to supervise undergraduates in research. Those with other types of appointments at the college or professional schools may supervise undergraduates with approval from the relevant department or program chair, director, or dean. Examples of other types of appointments include: visiting faculty, adjunct faculty, emeritus faculty, lecturers, senior lecturers, instructors, and post-doctoral scholars. For WISP, graduate students and post-doctoral fellows may serve as assistant research mentors in collaboration with a faculty research mentor. Faculty mentors may be in any of the following:
NOTE: student and faculty participation in the WISP Research Internship Program involves a matching process. Students who are already working with faculty and want to continue that work are not eligible for WISP funding. However, they may participate in the program if the faculty mentor has funds to pay their wages.
|Funding note: WISP is able to fund a limited number of interns per year. We encourage any faculty mentors who have research funding available to support their own intern(s) so that more students can participate in the program. Mentors who do not have funding to pay interns are still invited to participate, and WISP will fund one intern per mentor up to the limits of our budget. Mentors who wish to work with a second intern must support that student's wages.

Political Factors affecting food productivity
There are both pros and cons of the government policies on the political factors of food productivity. Government policies have clearly influenced the level of food intensity production in Singapore. With a population density of over 6000 people per square kilometre, Singapore is one of the most densely-populated countries in the world. Thus, maximising land use is always a challenge. In the 1980s, a decision was made by the government to replace traditional farming with high-technology farming. Although high-techonology farming causes less pollution and its more efficient, there are still disadvantages of high-technology farming.
The disadvantages of high-technology farming are that the expenses are high and Singapore doesn't have the proper climate and environment for high-technology farming. The use of pesticides may destroy the crops although they kill the insects and it also get pass onto us in the food that we eat. In addition, it requires large amounts of energy input to produce,transport and apply chemical fertilizers.
Government policy is defined as government action plan regarding use of land and money aimed at promoting development in the nation.
Government policies and decisions may affect farmers in different ways
-Financing and building of infrastructure like roads and port development to facilitate movement of produce to other markets and construction of dams for irrigation give farmers incentives to increase food production.For example,construction of Three Gorges Dam across Yangtze in China.,to provide flood control ,hydro electricity and irrigation water from reservoir,boosts food production
-Subsidising food production by paying farmers to produce certain crop or paying for storage and marketing reduces farmers' financial burden.
-Government planning and control like favouring cheaper imports sometimes leads to little opportunity to innovste and hindering productivity.
-Singapore's government policy in 1980s to terminate traditional farming in view of limted land and competition for use of land for housing, industires and other commercial activities, has led to birth of high technology farming such as aeroponics and hydroponis sinch they are more productive with a higher output per unit land area.
-On a regional level, European Union's approval of imports from outside only when member countries are unable to produce. This protects local farmers.
-Lastly, government policy includes setting up agricultural training colleges for new farmers,advisory groups to tackle soil erosion problem and running research centres to produce better farming techniques.
-In Malaysia, the '60s and '70s government policy to help the poor rice farmers to increase their incomes has led to birth of a resettlement scheme known as Federal Land Development Authority(FLDA) whereby resettled farmers to other states such as Penang are given housing land loans and subsidies to grow cash crops like rubber and oil palm.
How the political factor can impact on the intensity of food production?
-As there resources which is limited, so the government could choose the resources such as money and land to be best used for as some for this decisions is long term. It have impact on food production as the farmer will not have enough land to cultivate their crops therefor the amount of food produce is lesser.
-Government also limit the amount of food such as fishing or slaughtering of animals as to prevent wastage of food or prevent extinction of some animals. This will affect the amount to be able to product.
-Government is trying to make development in the countries, therefor sometime the fields for growing crops is in the way of the development so the farmers have to left their fields causing lesser food production in the country.
Government also provide loans to farmers as farmers need to have capital to start their cultivation of crops. This will help the country to have more food production.
Government Policies
- A government policy is a plan of action that a government takes
- In 1908s, the Singapore Government made the dicision to replace traditional farming with high-tech farming
- Governemnt policies can also affect productivity at a regional level. For example, tax incentives for R&D
- Government may choose to build infrastructure such as dams for irrigation and roads. Hence, creating more conducive environments for farmers to increase food production
- Government may also subsidies the cost of food production. Hence, making it profitable to grow particular kind of crops
- Some countries may produce less food as the Government policies may not be in favor of agricultural activities, resulting in a lack of government support such as subsidies and infrastructure
Case Studies
Agriculture is a global industry, important to all governments. Syngenta helps to support three major political themes:
- Food security: The United Nations defines food security as when all people, at all times, have access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food to meet their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life. The UN's Special Programme for Food Security aims to achieve the goal of halving the number of hungry in the world by 2015. Currently there are 852 million food insecure people in the world. Syngenta supports drives to increase food security by improving access to technologies that are safe, reliable and affordable.
- Energy security: This refers to countries wanting to be less dependent for their fuel on other countries. By investing in biofuel technologies, Syngenta is helping them to provide alternatives to oil and coal.
- Climate change. Using biofuels helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The European Union has a target of replacing over 5% of all transportation fuel with renewable fuels by 2010. Creating high yields on existing farmland reduces the drive to cut down forests for new agricultural land. Loss of forests has big impacts on wildlife and also on climate.

Hot answers tagged emphasis
Non-Standard Usage Is this an informal exclamation or an emphasis mark? No, it's neither an exclamation nor an emphasis. It's used for [Informal] Showing a casual, lively mood. This is the situation of your example sentence. In fact, you can put this symbol freely if you are not so serious, and the number of waves is not strict. 事实上~只要你不需要很严肃,...
"的" in this case means "certainly", "really", "I am sure that..." as the conclusion says in your question. For me, such sentences are the same. 我会去看他的。 我一定会去看他。 You can say "我一定会去看他的". The mood sounds stronger (I think it's not much stronger), but I can't tell you how strong it is (this is a natural language, not math). I would use this when I want ...
Emphasis mark (underneath dots) is the Chinese counterpart of italics. In printing, besides emphasis mark, fonts are used for distinguishing purposes. Bold (黑体) is also considered as a different font (rather than a variation of the same font). In handwriting, people use straight underline and tilde underline.
Your example is just an example of possessive elision in Chinese. Both are acceptable and considered equivalent. None of the two has more emphasis than the other. One thing to note is there are two different types of emphasis, one being the emphasis of tone/mood, the other being the emphasis of meaning. In your case, it's the former. In English, the first ...
I think bold or italics or any other typographical emphasis is the wrong way to go here. Yes, the underdot and the squiggly underline are technically analogous to the way we single out words in English, but I only see them used in Chinese grammar textbooks or possibly once or twice in instruction manuals where an entire sentence was "very important". Dots ...
I'd like to further this response. You also use 的 in the capacity of "one". Like the brown one. 咖啡色的。
Chinese characters do not like italics or bold-face treatment. Chinese people use other methods: 现在我不要跟他说话 Can be emphasized on the 我 part like this: 现在就是我不要跟他说话 It means that right now, it is I who do not want to talk to her, as opposed to a moment before, when it was another people that did not want to talk to her.
Chinese people usually use some 语气词 like 啊, 呀 and other words describe your feeling (you can put any words here). Repeating is also a useful way (not for books). You can find that Chinese books don't ususually have such thing. 你笨(you are stupid) 你太笨了(you are too stupid) 你笨死了(hmmm... I don't know how to translate this well...) 完了,你笨得没救了(oh ...

Delivering a crucial message
Published: Sunday, February 13, 2011 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, February 12, 2011 at 11:22 p.m.
Louisiana's federal lawmakers and a contingent of seafood-industry representatives spent much of last week arguing that the seafood industry deserves a $15 million BP payment to help it recover from the oil spill.
"It is critical that BP help restore and rebuild these oyster habitats that were damaged from the oil spill. Oysters are more than just a delicacy — they're part of Louisiana's vibrant culture and a way of life," said Mike Voisin, owner of Motivatit Seafoods in Houma. "BP should make this small down payment."
Voisin was correct to point out that oysters in this part of the world represent more than just a delicious food. They are part of the culture and, nearly as importantly, they are an important part of our economy.
The oyster industry was dealt a serious blow by the oil spill, which led to the destruction of about half of the crop. The damage came not directly from the oil but from freshwater diversions opened by the state to keep the water out of inland waterways. While that strategy met with some success, it altered the salinity of the water in which the delicate oysters were growing.
Oystermen fear — with good reason — that the oyster beds will be slow to recover from the damage.
So they are asking for $15 million from BP to help get the oyster beds back into production as quickly as possible.
They took their message to Washington, D.C., last week in an attempt to bring their industry back from the brink of disaster.
They were joined in their effort by Louisiana's congressional delegation, including U.S. Sens. Mary Landrieu and David Vitter and Rep. Jeff Landry, the New Iberia Republican who represents Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes.
The state has made the same request of BP, but the oil giant has not yet responded. Clearly, time is of the essence.
The quicker the industry can start helping itself, the sooner its eventual recovery will occur.
The congressional delegation put the matter nicely in a letter to BP, calling the $15 million an investment in "the robust recovery of this vital industry."
Oysters are an important industry for coastal Louisiana. They also represent an important part of a way of life where people can still earn their livings on the water.
Unfortunately, BP's oil spill put oystermen, shrimpers and others in danger of losing that way of life.
Eventually, they will return to business, harvesting nature's rich blessings from local waters and feeding the state's economy and hungry mouths across the nation. The sooner the better.
The destruction of Louisiana's oyster beds was a clear result of the oil spill and the state's necessary response to it.
BP should do all it can to encourage a quick and thorough recovery.
Let's hope the visit to D.C., along with the cooperation of Louisiana's congressional voices, helped drive home that crucial message.

Top 5 late-night coffee shops in St. Paul
If the resounding "Shhh!" of librarians doesn't quite motivate you, and you need a little more hustle-bustle in the background as you work, there's no place like a coffee shop.
No matter how hard you brainstorm during the day, sometimes genius strikes only after dark, so we found a few St. Paul gems where you can sip coffee and do a little work. While we love the coffee and the greasy-spoon food at Mickey's Diner, not to mention its 24-hour, 365-days-a-year schedule, it's just popular enough even at 3 a.m. that you can't hang out for hours at a time.
Here are our favorite places in St. Paul to stay late for another latte:

Top 10 coffeehouses in the Twin Cities
Stop by the farmers' market in the morning and Black Dog in the evening.
Tatiana Craine
5. Black Dog Coffee & Wine Bar Monday - Thursday: 7 a.m. - 10 p.m.; Friday - Saturday: 7 a.m. - 11 p.m.; Sunday: 8 a.m. - 8 p.m.
Black Dog is just right for folks who want to visit the St. Paul Farmers Market in the morning and then hit the books all day afterward. Just steps away from the market, this spot is a perfect getaway in the middle of the city. With art-filled walls inside, a flower-trimmed patio outside, there's no shortage of space to open up a book and spend a few hours immersed in coffee and lit. There are also a ton of traditional cafe food options if the caffeine jitters start to get to you. And when you're all done studying, Black Dog is also home to a small live music stage (and a killer happy hour.)
A peek at the mural behind Ginkgo Coffeehouse.
Tatiana Craine
4. Ginkgo Coffeehouse
Monday - Thursday: 6:15 a.m. - 11 p.m.; Friday: 6:15 a.m. - 12 a.m.; Saturday: 6:30 a.m. - 12 a.m.; Sunday: 7:30 a.m. - 11 p.m.
For fair-trade fanatics, Gingko is the place to go. With a few different types of fair-trade and organic coffees, this late-night coffee shop is the perfect place to caffeinate and try a new blend, rather than settling for stale Folgers out of a plastic tub. Ginkgo sits right by Hamline University on Snelling Avenue, a short bike (or bus) ride away from Macalester, St. Thomas, and the other colleges in the area. Check their schedule for live music on various nights (usually during the weekend.)
The one that started them all: the original Dunn Bros.
Tatiana Craine
3. Dunn Bros on Grand
Monday - Saturday: 6:30 a.m. - 11 p.m.; Sunday: 7:30 a.m. - 11 p.m.
When it's finals time during the school year, Dunn Bros gets pretty darn busy, but there's a reason it's so popular. This is the original location of the ever-popular chain of coffee shops, the that one started 'em all in 1987 with Ed and Dan Dunn. Survey the well-stocked bakery case for a fresh Danish before settling in to look over your papers and sip a cup of joe. If you get there at the right time, the folks behind the counter put out the day-old (and still tasty) pastries for a steep discount -- which means double the yum. Dunn Bros is yet another St. Paul coffee shop that offers live music on occasion, and you can check their calendar to see if it's a mellow jazz sort of group or a more upbeat band.
Nina's makes evening studying feel like home.
Tatiana Craine
2. Nina's Coffee Cafe
Monday - Sunday: 6:30 a.m. - 10 p.m.
Some people will go the distance for a coffee shop with a well-trained barista, while others just focus on finding a spot with work-ready amenities. Why not have both? Nestled in Cathedral Hill, Nina's has been around forever, and it's not hard to see why. With delicious espresso drinks (and must-try hot chocolate), this is one place you won't mind visiting even in the dead of winter. Nina's also has ultra-fast wifi, a must for everybody who's in a pretty serious relationship with their keyboards. Be prepared to share a couch or a bench and get cozy with your neighbors at Nina's -- there's ample seating, but not so much that you'll always be able to spread all those papers out. Fun fact: F. Scott Fitzgerald's family stayed around this area back in the day.
Tatiana Craine
1. Cahoots Coffee Bar
Monday - Friday: 6:30 a.m. - 10:30 p.m.; Saturday: 7 a.m. - 10:30 p.m.; Sunday: 7:30 a.m. - 10:30 p.m.
Little ol' Cahoots faces a lot of competition in the Selby-Snelling area -- from the local Neighborhood Cafe to the coffee giant Starbucks just across the street. Nevertheless, this is one of the best spots in the city to settle in and tap away on that laptop. There's plenty of seating indoors, but if you need a breath of fresh air, you can watch the sun set and the stars come out in the courtyard, a quiet, brick-and-ivy-covered area with tables galore. Filled with locals, students, professors, and everyone in between, Cahoots is the place you go when you want to knock out your to-do list over a cuppa java without all the nonsense of ultra-trendy coffeehouses.
Looking for a late-night mug of coffee in Minneapolis? Here's a list of our Top 5 late-night coffee shops in Minneapolis.

Buzzmaster (10:47 AM)
Skylar will be here in a few minutes to chat!
Ashton (Hartford)
What big east matchup game are you looking forward to the most?
Skylar Diggins (10:54 AM)
Besides UConn? I think they'll be another exciting game, it always is. Aside from that I'm looking forward to Louisville. With the addition of Monique coming back, I'm excited to play them.
Greg (DC)
Any ideas for new headbands this year?
Skylar Diggins (10:55 AM)
Yeah, actually I do have some new ones coming out. Different colors. I have a camo headband for the Carrier Classic. You'll see lime green, pink, navy blue and they'll have the Irish on them.
Jeremiah (New York)
Who do you want to win in the WNBA Championship the Fever or the Lynx?
Skylar Diggins (10:56 AM)
Dev Peters, I went to school with her and Candace is a good friend of mine. I really like Tamika. But I'm cheering for Dev and Candace. Indiana would be the second team I cheer for. I'd be happy for either.
jbb1985 (East)
You've lost two marvelous teammates in Peters and Novosel, does that require more from your play or will it require more from the other Irish players to partially replace their output, effort, and intensity?
Skylar Diggins (10:57 AM)
All of the above. I think everybody has to step up and into an expanded role. From my standpoint, it will be a leadership thing. Not too much change. Taylor and Natalie will do a great job stepping in. And we have three good freshmen that will step into the team.
Luke (Santa Barbara)
Hey Skylar! My sister and I are big fans. What do you do to stay motivated? Especially in your least motivated times? Any tips?
Skylar Diggins (10:58 AM)
I'm just competitive. I'm always competitive. I want to be the best and the best player for my teammates. My parents motivate me, my mom in particular, to work hard.
Raymond (Seattle)
How many hours a day do you practice/workout?
Skylar Diggins (10:58 AM)
A typical day could be a 2 hour practice and before you could shoot and life on your own, so anywhere between 3-4 hours per day.
Kevin (Pittsburgh, PA)
Now that Notre Dame is poised to leave the Big East, how do you think that will effect the UConn-ND rivalry that has just begun to heat up? Was the w-bball program upset when they heard of the move?
Skylar Diggins (10:59 AM)
I think the rivalry has always been there. I think that now that we're moving, we won't play each other four times per year, but I think we could still set something up and meet each other and play.
Irishfan (Illinois)
Skylar; with the ladies team doing so much better than the men's team lately do the ladies rub it into the men at all? :)
Skylar Diggins (11:00 AM)
No, no, no. You have to help build their confidence. I thought the win over Syracuse was good. They have great freshmen this year. I'm looking for exciting things from them this year.
kevin (macon ga)
In what ways have you changed, as a player and as a person, since arriving on campus?
Skylar Diggins (11:01 AM)
I started as a player, as a two guard, I wasn't a point guard. I changed my position after my freshman year. Having to become more heady, knowing the playbook, the players. A lot of responsibility if I weren't a two guard. Notre Dame has made me the woman that I've become today. The family atmosphere. It's the best decision that I've made.
Ian (Ny)
What will you guys have to do to beat Uconn this year?
Skylar Diggins (11:02 AM)
They always have a great team every year. We have to execute our gameplan, whatever that is this year. We know they're a great team. I'm excited. It's scouting report oreiented.
Raymond (Seattle)
Do you think it's an advantage being a left handed player? Growing up did you have coaches make you use your right in practice as the "norm" in like lay up drills?
Skylar Diggins (11:03 AM)
I think it's different. We use the other side of the court different. It was crazy to me last year that out of the elite eight teams how many guards were left handed. I think we bring something different. I don't know if it's an advantage or not.
Cyn (New York)
Are you excited about ND Football being 6-0?
Skylar Diggins (11:03 AM)
That's very exciting. The buzz around campus. Going to the games, Notre Dame football games are always exciting. The buzz has been great. These guys work hard. I know a lot of the players. It seems they have a close knit group this year.
Michael (Michigan)
If you could play at any school other than ND, where would it be and why?
Skylar Diggins (11:04 AM)
It came down to Notre Dame and Stanford. I got into Stanford, so that would have been the school I would have gone to.
Raymond (Seattle)
What's your College Major?
Skylar Diggins (11:04 AM)
Classes are going well for this semester. I have a heavy load. Next semester, I will only have one or two classes to finish up. I'm Buisiness Management.
Wallace (Milwaukee)
What part of your game do you want to elevate to prepare your self for this season and beyond?
Skylar Diggins (11:05 AM)
I think you can improve upon everything, really. At the next level, they're bigger faster stronger. Just continue to do things that separate myself. I want to play smarter. I know I'm going to work on the physical aspects in the weight room.
Skylar Diggins (11:06 AM)
It's a more physical game.
Dee Frazier (Brooklyn)
How excited are you for this season? What are you guys doing to get prepared for the season?
Skylar Diggins (11:06 AM)
I'm so excited. It's bittersweet, because it's my senior year. We started practice already. We're two weeks in. It's a matter of getting the plays in. Adapting to the coaches offenses and defenses and the playbook.
Erin (MN)
You are very emotional in a game, how are you going to control your level of frustration with a young team?
Skylar Diggins (11:07 AM)
I think there will be adversity all around. You have to deal with each situation. I don't have to change the player I am or anyone else doesn't either. Coach takes care of a lot of that stuff so we don't have to. I have to be a consistent leader for the freshmen, but we havne't had any issues so far.
Skylar Diggins (11:08 AM)
Go Irish! Come out to a game!

USDA presents SDSU with grant to develop tribal bison production system
The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced $43,809 in funding for South Dakota State University to plan for the development of a sustainable organic tribal bison production system.
The USDA awarded the grant to South Dakota State University as a planning grant to assist in the development of high-quality future proposals. This project will propose the development of a sustainable organic tribal bison production system using an intra-tribal supply chain management mechanism. Stakeholders, including the Flandreau Santee-Sioux Tribe and the Inter-Tribal Bison Council, were the driving force behind the grant.
"More and more farmers are adopting organic agriculture practices to produce quality food and boost farm income," said Roger Beachy, director of USDA's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA). "These research and Extension projects will equip producers with the tools and resources they need to operate profitable and sustainable organic farms."
NIFA awarded this grant through the Organic Agriculture Research and Extension Initiative, which enhances the ability of producers and processors who already have adopted organic standards to grow and market high-quality organic agricultural products.
Research at USDA increasingly focuses on the science that supports development of sustainable practices in agriculture and forestry, including organic farming, to both reduce negative impacts on the environment and keep U.S. farmers competitive. For more OREI information, visit the Initiative's website at this link: www.nifa.usda.gov/fo/organicagricultureresearchandextensioninitiative.cfm.
U.S. producers are turning to certified organic farming systems as a potential way to lower input costs, decrease reliance on nonrenewable resources, capture high-value markets, and boost farm income. Since the late 1990s, U.S. organic production has seen heavy growth. Now, more than two-thirds of U.S. consumers buy organic products at least occasionally, and 28 percent buy organic products weekly.
For more information on this specific project, call Scott Fausti at 605-688-4141or e-mail him at this address: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Through federal funding and leadership for research, education and extension programs, NIFA focuses on investing in science and solving critical issues impacting people's daily lives and the nation's future. More information is at the Institute's website at this link: www.nifa.usda.gov.

Alcohol: Report Together with Formal Minutes v. 1: First Report of Session 2009-10 - HC Session 2009-10 (Paperback)House of Commons Health Committee
Paperback Published: 08/01/2010
- Can be ordered from our supplier
This report "Alcohol ("HC 151-I")" calls for a radical change in the Government's approach to the health and social problems caused by the rising consumption of alcohol in England and Wales. Consumption per head has nearly tripled since 1947, and 31 per cent of men and 21 per cent of women are drinking hazardously (more than 21 units per week) or harmfully (more than 50 units per week). It is estimated alcohol abuse in England and Wales kills 30-40,000 people a year and costs the economy GBP 55bn. Excessive consumption also leads to serious accidents, disorder, violence and crime. The chapter one introduces the report. Chapter two looks at the history of alcohol consumption. Chapter three considers the impact of alcohol on health, the NHS and society as a whole, including the costs of crime and loss of work. Chapter four analyzes the Government's alcohol strategy. Chapter five considers the NHS policies on prevention and treatment. Chapter six looks at education and information policies. Chapter seven examines the marketing of alcohol. Chapter eight considers pubs and licensing. Chapter nine analyzes off-licence sales, particularly in supermarkets. Chapter ten looks at the key issue of the price of alcohol. The Committee calls for minimum pricing for units of alcohol. Chapter eleven puts forward a new alcohol strategy. Evidence shows that a rise in the price of alcohol is the most effective way to reduce consumption. It would affect most of all those who drink cheap alcohol, save up to 3000 lives a year with a price of 50 pence per unit, would benefit traditional pubs and encourage a switch to weaker wines and spirits. Minimum pricing should be accompanied by an increase in duty.

NEW YORK (April 17, 2013)—Just a week after the market hit an all-time high, stocks fell Wednesday as investors grew cautious because of new signs of weakness in Europe's economy.
Poor earnings reports from Bank of America and a drop in demand for Apple's iPod and iPhone contributed to the selling Wednesday, as bank, tech and energy stocks led the market lower.

The Standard & Poor's 500 fell 22 points, or 1.4 percent, to 1,552.

Suggested citation for this article
To the Editor: We read with interest the article by Grant and Olsen on preventing zoonotic diseases in immunocompromised persons (1). We completely agree with the benefits of communication between physicians and veterinarians. However, we want to emphasize that pet-associated illnesses are not limited to the immunocompromised; pregnant women and young infants should be included in this high-risk category. Our recently published survey (2) reaffirms the need for education of the general public, parents, and—to a lesser extent—pediatricians regarding pet-associated hazards.
