Despite its naysayers, the U.S. cotton industry creates a positive environmental footprint worthy of bragging rights.
"If you look at U.S. cotton's energy footprint, the cottonseed in a bale of cotton contains more energy than the energy required to produce the cotton and gin the bale," according to Ed Barnes, director of agricultural research with Cotton Incorporated, Cary, N.C.
Energy inputs for cotton include diesel fuel, nitrogen, herbicides, and irrigation among others. Barnes spoke at the joint annual meetings of the Arizona Cotton Growers Association and the Arizona Cotton Ginners Association in Rio Rico, Ariz.
Barnes rattled off praises for the natural fabric. Cotton is grown on less than 3 percent of the world's agricultural land. Cotton yields have increased on average over the last three decades, showcasing improved land use efficiency.
Among cotton's naysayers, Barnes says, is the Lenzing company, which manufacturers man-made cellulose fibers. The rayon maker hails itself as nature's friend, with minimal negative impact on the environment. Lenzing points a finger at the cotton industry as an environmental polluter. Barnes maintains that studies and publicly-released data sets indicate otherwise.
"In the cotton production process, more greenhouse gasses are sequestered in the fiber and soil than are emitted into the atmosphere," Barnes noted. "There's more carbon in the fiber than the cotton industry emits in growing and ginning the fiber."
Water use in cotton is a tougher sell with the public and regulators. About one-third of the U.S. cotton crop is grown with irrigation. New drought-tolerant cotton varieties are water-misers.
"In Arizona, people want to claim that cotton is a big water user, but we're not compared to other crops," Barnes told the grower/ginner crowd. "Arizona cotton growers have some of the best yields in the country. Growers have optimized land use efficiency. There's a lot to be said for irrigated systems."
Barnes referenced USDA data from 2007 that foliar insecticide is not applied to one-third of the U.S. cotton acreage; in part due to Bt technology.
Some of the latest positive spins on cotton are from the results of the Natural Resource Survey of U.S. cotton growers conducted by Cotton Incorporated and the Cotton Board last year.
The survey's purpose was three-fold: promoting natural cotton using fresh data; examining the cotton industry's greatest research needs to better reflect where research dollars are spent; and gaining a benchmark on current production practices.
About 1,300 valid responses were received representing about 16 percent of U.S. cotton acreage, plus 1.7 million acres of rotational crops. More than 100 growers from the Far West submitted responses.
Survey results indicate about 80 percent of U.S.-grown cotton is rotated with other crops. In the Far West, about 90 percent of the cotton is rotated with alfalfa, wheat, corn, vegetables, and orchard crops.
"Many people don't believe cotton is rotated," Barnes said. "This is a good statistic to show that cotton is not just monoculture; there is a lot of variety out there."
The survey revealed about 75 percent of the growers reduced pesticide use by 40 percent or higher over the last decade. Foliar insecticides were not applied on more than 40 percent of the farms. About 30 percent of the acreage received no insecticide treatment.
The survey results revealed needed improvements in scheduling cotton irrigation. About half of the growers responding to the survey make irrigation decisions by visual assessment. Less than 10 percent utilize monitoring tools or evapotranspiration.
Irrigation scheduling is tricky in the West, Barnes says. "We will try to direct Cotton Incorporated's research to develop easier irrigation tools that better achieve farmers' needs."
To produce cotton from "dirt-to-bale," the energy to create fertilizers represents about one-half of the total energy used in non-irrigated production. In irrigated cotton, drawing 40 inches of water from a 300-foot deep well requires about two-thirds of cotton's energy demand. "Water pumped from any depth can quickly dominate the energy footprint," Barnes said.
About 7,600 BTUs of energy are required to produce 1 pound of cotton for typical production practices in the U.S., Barnes says.
After a year of lower energy prices, the cotton researcher predicts the return of higher energy costs. "Energy will get expensive again," Barnes said. "We have a break right now in prices. I think what we saw last summer was a hint of what the future holds for us. Anything the cotton industry can do to reduce energy use will lower our greenhouse gas emissions and production costs."

How to Get Free Government Money
Though many are skeptical, we've all heard that there is free government money "hiding" in the crevices waiting to be claimed by all. This is no urban legend. Billions of dollars in government grant money is put aside each year to provide financial aid to tad paying citizens. However, a majority of the American population is completely unaware of how to find or apply for these funds, which many people qualify to apply for.
There are many different types of grant programs available for a variety of purposes. More resourceful individuals are able to tap into the long list of both government sponsored and privately funded programs that can help them achieve their personal goals.
Here are some of the more common grants that can be applied for:
Minority Grants – There are many groups that fall under the minority category. A few of them are Native Americans, African Americans, Asians, Hispanics and women. With free government money for minorities, individuals may be able to claim cash to pay of debt, go back to school, or start their own business.
Small Business Grants – The various types of available small business grants can be utilized to start an online home based business, a day care center, or even a dry cleaning service. With a well detailed business plan and the right resources, it is possible to access multiple grant programs to help with start-up or expansion costs. Whether you need money to buy new equipment, lease office space, or hire new employees, there are small business grants available that never have to be paid back.
Debt Grants – Remarkably, individuals may qualify to receive free government money to pay off personal debt such as credit cards, delinquent car payments or outstanding medical bills. By utilizing these funds, individuals can avoid wage garnishment, eviction, foreclosure and avoid the possibility of filing for personal bankruptcy.
College Grants to Help Pay for School – Student college grants make up a big portion of the available free government money. What many don't realize is that these types of grants are not only available to recent high school graduates, but adult students, single mothers and minorities. College grants and student financial aid are also available to the more mature adult returning to school. No matter your age, income or credit, there is free government money available that could help you finance a continued education.
There are hundreds of grant programs like these,which can be accessed and applied for through the grant search database. By using the resources though this online resource, you can quickly find and potentially obtain grant money that never has to be paid back.

In 2009, William Kentridge and Gerhard Marx were commissioned to make a public sculpture for the city of Johannesburg, on the occasion of the 2010 Soccer World Cup. Their sculpture was based on Kentridge's drawing of a woman street vendor-known colloquially in Johannesburg as a fire walker-carrying a burning brazier on her head. Fire Walker thus stands for the ordinary citizen, whose survival depends on his or her ability to negotiate contested urban terrain. The 36-feet-high figure was installed at the foot of the Queen Elizabeth Bridge, on a site formerly used by street traders and taxi washers. This volume documents the commission and also includes two photo essays on street vendors and old city monuments.. Price: $33.00

Objective: To find which procedures gastroenterologists do in their practice, where they learned the procedures, and what training they recommend to achieve and maintain competence in each.
Design: Mailed survey.
Participants: A random sample of 700 gastroenterologists who were members of the American College of Physicians, of whom 510 (73%) responded.
Results: Gastroenterologists did a median of 27 of the 40 gastroenterology procedures and 3 of the 16 general medicine procedures. A larger number of different procedures was done by those who were board certified in gastroenterology, spent more than 60 hours per week in patient care, graduated after 1969, or practiced in a university setting, a hospital with 250 to 500 beds, or a group limited to gastroenterologists. The majority of respondents had done each of the three most commonly done procedures 200 or more times in the previous year. For 10 procedures studied in detail, the majority had done 9 of the 10 in the past year at least as often as the median recommendation for maintaining competence. The number of procedures recommended to achieve and maintain competence differed little by the age, type of practice, and gastroenterology board certification status of the respondent. For most procedures, the range of recommendations was broad, but the median numbers agreed with other published recommendations. Respondents learned 31% of procedures after they had completed training. The earlier their training, the more likely they had learned the procedure in practice.
Conclusions: Gastroenterologists do many different procedures, and this number is influenced by how recently they were trained and the nature of their practice. Respondents learned nearly one third of the procedures they do after they had completed training. It is an important and continuing challenge for the profession to assure that physicians learn and maintain these procedural skills at the highest level of proficiency.

why is it that we're so defined by what we've had to struggle against? i certainly know this about myself, whether it's a point of pride or not, and i surely know it about other people. we need struggles to prove that we've worked hard. it didn't kill us and we came out ok on the other side. we need them to know that we haven't had it easy, because we believe that if we didn't work really hard for something that we don't deserve it.
but....isn't there something to be said for things coming easily? isn't that the way we want them to come? do we want our lives to be a constant struggle or do we all wish things would just run a bit smoother?
these are just questions that i'm thinking about today, what i want my life to be like, what struggles define me. i don't sleep well; that's definitely a big one. i eat too much; that's another one, for sure. not having enough money; who doesn't have that one? i've lost several close friends and family members over the years, i'm shy, i've pursued more than my share of unrequited loves; the list goes on.
but i let all those things define me and i don't really give them a chance to change. i'm so protective of "ME" that it's hard to let things go or accept that a part of me can be different. it wouldn't take much for me to eat less: slow down, tweak some brain activity, and listen to my body. BUT the belief is so strong that this is part of "WHO I AM" that it's impossible to break the cycle (but do the impossible! i remember! :)
i don't know who i'd be if i actually slept well at night and fell asleep at even a remotely reasonable hour, but i sure as hell wouldn't be "ME"!!! and how scary is that?? i marvel at how strong these forces can be, and i'm writing it all out just to see how ridiculous it really is.
there are enough struggles in the world; there are enough struggles in your world! we can be defined by the things that flow easily for us, too. there's no need to hold on to any old obstacles, as if there weren't enough new ones being created!

"Life is full of choices of what to hold on to and what to let go of," says Ashland-based singer, songwriter Elias Deleault. He bases his newest album, "Hold On, Let Go" on this concept.
The album, which began as a series of songs Deleault wrote for his wife, reflects themes of struggles, death and romance. It follows the traditions of American folk music while also incorporating modern folk sounds.
Deleault takes the stage Friday, Jan. 17, at the Caldera Tap House, 31 Water St., Ashland. The free show starts at 9 p.m. and also features Ashland folk-rockers Black Bears Fire who released its debut album, "Start Sleeping In," in December.

Morning Roundup: Matt Damon and Clint Eastwood Team Again; Jimmy Carter Knocks Kanye; Lohan Burglar Busted
Matt Damon is Everywhere: Damon, starring in "The Informant!," which opens today, has signed to star in "Hereafter," directed by the 79-year-old Clint Eastwood, who shows no signs of flagging: the two just worked together on "Invictus," a film set in the rugby world of South Africa. To continue these degrees of separation: "Hereafter," a supernatural story which is being kept under wraps, is written by Peter Morgan, who scripted "Last King of Scotland," "The Queen," and "Frost/Nixon." The latter two films starred the estimable Michael Sheen, who also heads the cast in another upcoming release written by Morgan, "The Damned United" about the Leeds United football team in the late 1960s and early 1970s. [/film]
Another Presidential Smackdown for Kanye: Will the Kanye West backlash end? After President Obama called the rapper a "jackass" for upstaging Taylor Swift at the MTV awards, now ex-President Jimmy Carter said West's behavior was "completely uncalled-for." Speaking at Emory University, Carter added that West's "punishment was to appear on the new Jay Leno show." Brutal dictators haven't cause this much outrage among commanders-in-chief. [LA Times]
Lohan Burglar Caught: The thief who broke into the homes of Lindsay Lohan and "Hills" star Audrina Patridge has been arrested. Last month, 18 year-old Nicholas Prugo reportedly entered Lohan's Hollywood home, ripped a safe from the wall and stole the actresses' accessories, like shoes and jewelry. The Patridge burglary took place in February. Prugo, who was charged with felony burglary and is being held on $20,000 bail, is said to have worked with a female accomplice, but no other arrest has been made so far. [People]
Universal Issues Movie Studio Equivalent of Hiring Freeze: If you're a screenwriter trying to sell a project to Universal Pictures, you might want to look elsewhere. The studio announced they aren't spending any development money for the rest of the year. In essence, any project that hasn't been green-lit is stalled until 2010 or later. While the move isn't unprecedented, its mid-September timing, with nearly four months left in the year, is unusual. Vivendi is considering the sale of its 20% stake in NBC/Universal, which could wound up being spun off to the public. Is this part of a nice little buff-up? [Variety]

Leopard Kill
Last night we where very privileged to see a male leopard and if that was not enough he also made a warthog kill!! All our vehicles went trough the sighting and he was very relaxed. And short there after we found another leopard which was a female!!
By Johan Kruger
It had been two days with no lions sighting worthy of mention. A glimpse here and there of the great cats that had eluded us the last four drives as they moved in and out of the reed thicket along the Klaserie River was hardly what we would call a good sighting. One female lion had recently given birth in the reeds and that was the reason for their behavior at the moment. They emerged in the cool of the evening to roam the reserve in darkness, searching for the food required to manufacture milk for the cubs and themselves. No food meant no milk and, therefore, no nourishment for the young.
We followed tracks for most of the morning only to find they headed straight back into the reed thicket. We had a feeling this would happen so the same afternoon found us back in the area to see if they had emerged. The tracks indicated they had come out and had a bit of a walk around but returned once again to the sanctuary of the reeds. We left the area and soon found the tracks of the four young sub-adult lioness' about 2km from where we left the adult tracks. Excitement filled our veins as the thrill of the chase was back in full force! Brett, Roel and I immediately split up in the area checking which roads had been crossed and which ones hadn't. We quickly narrowed the block down and decided to continue on foot. Little did we know these cheeky devils had a plan of their own. The more we followed the more they walked and the more they walked the more we followed. Needless to say we spent much time chasing our own tails as the lions crossed their own track and doubled back repeatedly. Again we would return to the lodge empty handed but no discouraged.
The following morning saw Patrick in the area and, as Mother Natured wanted it to be so, he almost immediately found fresh track of the same four females we were following the afternoon before. Within ten minutes he had a sighting set up in the shade of a Weeping Boer Bean Tree and all the fruitless efforts of the last few days were forgotten. As the cameras clicked away I played the events of the last few days back in my mind and couldn't help but wonder if those four rascals were actually laughing at the Rangers who were huffing and puffing after them through thorns and ravines.

The Smaller Things…
Sun and warmth have returned to Kapama after multiple days of overcast skies and cold weather; just in time for a new set of guests to enjoy our bushveld. After driving around in the wind and cold there isn't anything that beats a nice leisurely game drive viewing the smaller side to safari. When the day is warm, afternoon game drive is best spent near and around water holes, dams, and pans. Animals like giraffe, nyala, kudu, rhino, and buffalo come down to drink and revel in the warmth just as much as we do.
Game drive this evening consisted of a fantastic sighting of giraffe browsing and drinking, two handsome male nyala meandering slowly around a dam as the sun set in the west in a splendour of color only glimpsed here in South Africa, four rhinos grazing slowly in the bushes, and a sundowner complete with pearl spotted owlet calls, cricket chirps, and Amarula. A white-backed vulture returned to a nest carrying dinner for the young just as we came to a halt for our short break. And as we began again hippos called out in laughter from their watery home and allowed us an up close and personal viewing of their young one. A short tracking session for lion ended with a great sighting of smaller spotted genet and a civet hunting close to the vehicle. All this and a delicious 5-Star meal cooked when we returned to River Lodge.
There's nothing better than sitting back, relaxing, and enjoying the smaller things in life…it couldn't be better!

Well there we go ladies and gents another week or so gone by with updates on how our animals are doing and a few other stories.
for those who don't like snakes very much don't worry there will only be two every month unless someone would like more, im a snake fanatic so i thought i will give everyone some information now and again.
The snake of the day will be of our local resident here at the lodge, not to worry she wont do anything if you leave her in peace.
The guys here know by now that i am crazy about snakes so they kept it from me for awhile till i discovered it today, they are afraid that i might just go and play with it.
A lovely estimated 1,2meter boomslang Dispholidus tyus. For those who don't know the boomslang is the most venomous snake in southern Africa.
Just a couple of interesting facts quickly before i tell you about the venom and what it does.
The color variation in boomslang is greater than in any other snake in southern Africa. Juveniles are light brown to grey with a stippling of blue which is why they are usually confused with the vine snake Thelotornis capensis. The adult females will be a light to olive brown with a dirty white belly and males might be green to olive green with or without black interstitial skin. The adults usually get confused with the black and green mambas Dendroaspis polylepis and Dendroaspis angusticeps.
Apparently our lovely lady has been a resident for the last month or so. Seen many times basking in the sun high up on one of the branches, boomslang unobtrusive and very shy so will always stay away to avoid confrontations. Spends most of the day in shrubs and trees.
If provoked it will inflate the neck area twice the original size to warn off any treats and tries to escape it very rarely bites, most victims are snake handlers. That old tale where a snake just drops from a tree and bites for no reason, come now. You basically have to grip it mid body shake it around and provoke it really badly before something serious might happen but i wont recommend that you should try it. It has slow but very potent haemotoxic venom; it affects the blood system and has to be treated within 24-48hours.
Things to look out for:
· has enormous eyes and short stubby head
· may inflate the neck and most of the body under serious provocation
· spends most of the time in trees and shrubs
· active during the day
Story by: Casper Marais- Kapama River Lodge Ranger
On Tuesday afternoon we headed out for our afternoon game drive our aim the four sub-adult female lions. Before we left River Lodge I had mentioned to my guests
(a wonderful family from Israel) that the lions were going to be really difficult to find, the reason for this being they hadn't eaten for about three days and therefore really hungry.
When lions are hungry and are keen to eat they can cover huge areas searching for prey this makes looking for them really difficult but when its left to the professionals (i.e. Brett and Rodgers ) its made a little easier. But none the less back to the lions, about twenty minutes into the drive we found what we thought was fresh spoor (tracks) on the edge of a well used road which makes it difficult to differentiate between fresh and old tracks. We stopped our vehicle got out and started working the tracks we followed them for about five minutes when I realized this could be a whole afternoon of tracking I then gave my hand radio to Rodgers my tracker and asked him to follow the tracks while I went back to the vehicle. Once back on the road myself and Rodgers were in constant communication. While I circled the block looking for more tracks, Rodgers followed the others through the block we did this for a long while all the time following the basic principles of tracking these being if you lose the trail circle back and start from the last one you had,
Eventually we got word that there were some Rhinos nearby they were relaxed and at a water hole drinking. I decided to leave the area of the lions for a while and go and view the rhino's this was a really great sighting with a female rhino and her calf having a drink after having a wallow we could see this by the mud that was smeared on the side of the rhino. After a short time these two very large grey animals moved off and we eventually lost the visual.
Once we had left the area of the rhinos we moved back to the trail of the infamous lions, mean while all the time we were away from trail Rodgers was getting even hotter on the trail, the tracks were getting crisp and the grass was still moving from the foot steps of the size paws of four female lions. Once we saw this we knew they were nearby just a few more steps and we should have them. So forward we go the tracks eventually pop out onto another road here it looks like they started running maybe we were going to see the cats on a kill. Soon after this the tracks became more relaxed again. We then found a place were it looked like they lay down.
Now two hours had past and many steps have been walked we were getting towards sunset the light was getting low and it was getting dangerous to keep walking. Just as Rodgers was picked up by the vehicle just around the next corner over the hill there they were all four lions laying resting after a long day and night of hunting but with no success. Well this followed by a great sundowner took us to the end of the great day of tracking the lions….

Actually it's Gnome (i.e., the Gnome Project) that doesn't provide the
option/utility to change the greeter (aka login screen). Lots of other
folks have complained about its inflexibility, too.
If you get ambitious, there are some things you can change by editing
the GConf structures for the gdm user. Like you can hide the
reboot/shutdown buttons if you want (and a very few other useless
things). As of about a week ago, Gnome added an option to hide the user
list on the login screen, an excellent improvement that would be nice if
it came downstream to Fedora.
The best documentation on what you can and cannot do is at [url]www.gnome.org[/url].

Been using it to cut some wooden planks and boards and MDF. It's not more nor less good than any cheap hand saw. It gives a feel of quality, and it will probably do the job in years to come. For an amateur. A professional/skilled worker would probably go up a level or two. Unfortunately the handle is too small for my hand, and my hands are no bigger than average. I will recommend that you really try to hold the saw before buying it. If the handle doesn't give room for your hand I would look for a bigger one. Entirely my fault that I didn't "try it on" before I bought it, so to give this product three instead of four stars might be a little unfair. I've already found another saw that I'm going to buy. At Harbor Freight, of course. Bang for the buck, service and support at its best. That's why!

Re: Feeling
Graham Christian
As to me needing to train with someone else or someone else needing to train with me I see no need.If a person is stuck or looking for help then fine, anything else, not interested really.
Tell, 'em, Graham. You can tell Dan that you can do everything he can do and no one should tell you you have to prove it. You can just take credit for it.
Of course, when Dan said what he could do, he was always willing to prove it, but that's not always necessary to get credit for being able to do it.
I once met Arnold Schwarzenegger. He was big and impressive-looking, but it didn't bother me. I told him, "I can lift as much weight as you."
He said, "Come to the gym and let's see."
I said, "Nah...I do it a spiritual way, so I don't need to prove it."
I met Mikhail Baryshnikhov and said, "You're a great dancer, but I can do anything you can do."
He said, "Oh, wonderful. We need a male dancer for our next show. Come to the studio and let's rehearse together."
I said, "Nah...I do a spiritual kind of dance. You don't need to see it."
He said, "Actually...I have seen a video of your dancing and, frankly...it wasn't so good."
I just snorted and said, "You don't understand." And that was good enough.
I met Miles Davis once and said, "Your music is pretty good, but I play the trumpet as well as you do."
His eyebrows went up and he said, "Strange I've never heard of you. But since you're good, come by after my set tonight and we'll jam."
I said, "Nah...I play a spiritual trumpet. I don't have to show you."
So I can blow the horn like Miles, lift weight like Arnie and dance like Mihail, but if anyone wants me to prove it...they're just being unspiritual.
I won't even bother you with what happened when I met the Dalai Lama, but I can tell you, he was impressed.
I'm sure Dan would shut up if you were to put hands on him, but I know that what you do is spiritual, so there's really no need for you to do that.
Of course, of all the budo men (and women) I've ever met, if anyone ever told them they could do something in budo, the budo folks always said, "Show me. Do it on me."
Talk is fine, but the rule of budo has always been "Put up or shut up."
You should think about that.

Medal of Honor Commemorative Gold Coin
This year (2011), two new coins are being made to commemorate the Medal of Honor. I've chosen the gold coin for this Coin of the Month, but both the gold and the silver coins are covered on the Commemorative Coins page.
The Medal of Honor is presented for courage in battle against an enemy force. It's the highest award that can be bestowed upon a member of the U.S. Armed Forces.
The idea of recognizing individuals' acts of bravery dates all the way back to General George Washington, who created an award in 1782. Although that award was a cloth purple heart rather than a Medal of Honor, it was the first official award for soldiers of the United States who clearly stood out by risking their lives above and beyond the call of duty.
The idea of a medal for valor came up early in the Civil War. A law creating a Navy medal of valor was signed in 1861, followed by an Army medal in 1862. Although the Medal of Honor was created for the Civil War, Congress made it a permanent decoration in 1863. Almost 3,400 members of the Armed Services have received the award for heroic actions in battle since that time.
Are you wondering how you can make a coin about a medal? Well, this is not the first time this has been done! In 2004, the back of the five-cent coin was devoted to a medal that Thomas Jefferson had the United States Mint make. You can read about it on the Westward Journey Nickel Series page.
