Melinda H. Keefe shared the world's horror when a painting by Mark Rothko, one of her favorite artists, was defaced with graffiti.
Along with her initial shock at the vandalism came another emotion: a determination to do something about it.
Keefe, a senior research scientist at the Dow Chemical Co., volunteered her expertise in researching what solvents might work best at removing the vandal's ink. More than a year and a half later, the successfully restored canvas, worth tens of millions of dollars, is now back on display at the Tate Modern gallery in London.
At labs in Spring House, Montgomery County, and in Midland, Mich., Keefe and her Dow colleagues conducted experiments with test canvases and used analytical software to screen dozens of potential cleaning agents.

Hurricane look for first win in 5th PBL game
The Erie Hurricane would like to continue their trend of hot starts in home games.
They'd just like to avoid those sluggish finishes.
Four games into its inaugural season, Erie's expansion team in the Premier Basketball League will seek its first win today at 4 p.m. against the Rochester RazorSharks at the East High gym.
The Hurricane have improved in each of their two home games after suffering two lopsided road losses to open the season. In back-to-back games, the Hurricane raced to first-half leads, only to watch those advantages evaporate. Erie led 60-43 at the half Jan. 19, but the Lake Erie Admirals dominated the second half on the way to a 130-108 victory. The Hurricane then bolted to a 29-19 first-quarter lead last Sunday before the RazorSharks rallied for a 120-99 win.
Erie has relied on guards Lester Jones and ReSean Thrower in the early part of the season. Jones is averaging more than 24 points per game. Thrower, a Cathedral Prep graduate, is coming off a strong all-around game against Rochester in which he had 18 points, 12 rebounds, eight assists and six steals. McDowell grad Glen Conner added 20 points, seven rebounds and four steals.
The Hurricane also have benefited from the recent additions of David Blanks, Tanner Furno and 6-foot 10-inch Dmitry Martynenko. Furno and Martynenko are former Gannon players, and Blanks played at Clarion.
Going into Saturday night's home game against the Buffalo 716ers, the RazorSharks were 4-1 and tied for first place in the PBL's East Division.
Dane Miller, a 6-foot 6-inch guard, led the RazorSharks with 18 points against Erie. He is averaging 21 points per game, while 6-foot 4-inch guard Reggie Stallings averages 20 ppg.
Today's game will be the last of three consecutive home games for the Hurricane. This is also the second of the Hurricane's four straight meetings with the RazorSharks. The two are scheduled to face each other Feb. 8 in Rochester and Feb. 9 in Erie.

Industrial health in wartime is a very critical aspect of our whole national manpower problem. Wartime taught us that the resources of human capacity are the greatest resources in any country. We started out in 1940 to train 900,000 men a year in a peacetime military training program. That was easy to accomuplish, and our manpower seemed completely adequate for such a purpose. We have learned, as a result of our experience in the war, that our manpower is neither inexhaustible nor is it always available. We cannot waste or neglect it. On the contrary we must carefully nurture, husband and train it and wisely allocate and employ it if we are to achieve our national purposes. It has been the function of the Selective Service System and the War Manpower Commission to supervise this utilization of manpower and to bring sharply to mind its problems in wartime which may

Conan O'Brien has a monkey on his back. No, really. A photo of the two of them appears on his Twitter page, along with the following Tweet from the recently deposed NBC host: "Today I interviewed a squirrel in my backyard and then threw to commercial. Somebody help me."
And help responded – nearly a quarter of a million followers by Thursday morning. By the Hollywood Reporter's count, the redhaired Harvard grad actually attracted some 100,000 fans within three hours of his posting, with enrollment growing at the rate of 1,000 fans a minute.
If only his Tonight Show debut had been so auspicious. As O'Brien states in his Twitter bio: "I had a show. Then I had a different show. Now I have a Twitter account."

You're right' I've been saying for several years we need to use our vote to FIRE all the career politicians like Scaffold & Bob Dean so as to vote in serious minded new politicians.
Being real with ourselves we must admit voting these do nothing folks back into office will only give us the same do nothing results!

EEA Publishes Data on EU GHG Emissions
2 June 2010: The European Environment Agency (EEA) has published the latest EU inventory of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The inventory indicates that emissions fell significantly in 2008 for the fifth consecutive year.
The Annual EU GHG inventory 1990–2008 and inventory report 2010show that EU-15 emissions dropped by 1.9% from 2007 while the economy grew by 0.6 %. The reduction takes EU-15 emissions to 6.9% below their levels in the base year (1990 in most cases). This brings the EU-15 closer to reaching the Kyoto Protocol target of reducing emissions in the 2008-2012 commitment period to an average of 8% below the base year level. For the EU-27, the report finds that emissions have been declining steadily since 2003. There is no EU-27 emissions target under the Kyoto Protocol since 12 EU member States were not yet part of the EU at the time, but 2008 emissions fell 11.3 % below their 1990 levels, which means that EU-27 has already achieved more than half of its unilateral reduction target of 20 % by 2020 through domestic emission reductions alone.
European Climate Action Commissioner Connie Hedegaard stated that showing that Europe is able to deliver on its commitments under the Kyoto Protocol is "of paramount importance" for the ongoing negotiations on a post-2012 global climate agreement. She stressed the role of binding targets and other ambitious policies of the EU and its member States in achieving significant emission decreases. She also highlighted that the EU has shown that economic growth and low-carbon development can go hand in hand. EEA Executive Director Jacqueline McGlade highlighted the need to ensure that the downward trend in emissions continues and that Europe boosts its climate investments, with the ultimate aim of achieving a more resource-efficient economy.
The EEA has announced that by the end of the summer 2010, it will publish preliminary estimates for the EU's 2009 total emissions, and in the autumn, it will release a more comprehensive report analyzing emission trends, policy effectiveness and progress towards meeting the Kyoto and other EU emission targets.

Motif does not have a spell check utility, though most versions of UNIX do.

DSS prepares to open new disaster food stamp program sites
BATON ROUGE - The Louisiana Department of Social Services received approval from the USDA for approval to open Disaster Food Stamp application sites in Washington and Franklin parishes for residents impacted by Hurricane Gustav and to open sites in six new parishes due to damage from Hurricane Ike.
Those additional parishes are: Beauregard, Calcasieu, Cameron, Jefferson Davis, Sabine and Vernon.
A total of 14 parishes will receive benefits for both Ike and Gustav. In addition to the parishes listed above, Acadia, Iberia, Jefferson, Lafourche, Plaquemines, St. Mary, Terrebonne and Vermilion are eligible for the assistance. Attached is a map that illustrates the parishes and their eligibility for this program.
New sites that will open tomorrow, September 19th, are listed below:
•Beauregard Parish, VFW Post 3619, 1115 Highway 27, DeRidder
•Calcasieu Parish, Lake Charles Civic Center, 900 Lakeshore Drive, Lake Charles
•Franklin Parish, River of Life Church, 127 Ellis Lane, Winnsboro
•Jefferson Davis Parish, Multi-Purpose Building, 810 South Lake Arthur Avenue, Jennings
•Sabine Parish, Central Fire Station, 1710 San Antonio Avenue, Many
•Vernon Parish, Old Lowe's Building, 1111 Boone Street, Leesville
•Washington Parish, Old National Guard Armory, 104 Avenue B, Bogalusa
•Washington Parish, Old Franklinton Elementary School, 902 Cleveland
•Street, Bogalusa
Sites that opened September 21st, were Sabine Parish, Zwolle Fiesta Grounds, 1100 South Main, Zwolle. Sites that opened September 22nd, were Jefferson Davis Parish, Father John Windt Hall, 515 Bryan Street, Jennings. These sites will open at 8 a.m. and take applications through 6 p.m., except for Calcasieu which will open at 6 a.m. DSS estimates that an additional 150,000 residents will be eligible for Disaster Food Stamps under this new program.
In order to reduce lines during the initial round of applications, DSS has worked with local officials to institute a system that would sort application dates by using the last names of those seeking benefits.
Applicants would be sorted as follows:
•Day One (September 19): A-C
•Day Two (September 20): D-G
•Day Three (September 21): H-L
•Day Four (September 22): M-R
•Day Five (September 23): S-Z
This would be followed by two open days (September 24 and September 25) where all applicants regardless of name would be able to apply. This system will work for both Louisiana residents and evacuees from Texas who took refuge here from Hurricane Ike. "Governor Jindal's top priority is that applicants do not have to wait in long lines and are made comfortable in air conditioning with water and healthy snacks," said Interim Secretary Kristy Nichols. "This will depend in large part on applicants ensuring they come to the application centers on the correct day. We must all work together to make sure this program runs as efficiently as possible so our residents can get the help they need."
Those who have already received benefits from Hurricane Gustav do not need to reapply. Their additional benefits will be automatically uploaded onto their Electronic Benefit Cards.
Today, DSS met with USDA officials and received word Louisiana had been approved to open additional Hurricane Gustav sites, but for those parishes impacted by both hurricanes Gustav and Ike, the federal government must assess the economic hardship of the Ike-impacted parishes in order to determine whether or not residents there warrant another month of benefits.
"I am continuing to encourage USDA to grant Louisianans impacted by both storms benefits for both September and October," continued Nichols. "Residents in some areas have been dramatically impacted by Gustav and Ike and need time and assistance to get back on their feet.
We will work with USDA on this request, but at this time we do not have approval for any additional Ike-related benefits."
If the request by DSS is granted, no one who already has a Gustav benefit card will need to reapply.
Applicants are asked to continue to monitor the Department of Social Service's website as well as news reports for the most current information regarding site openings and hours of operation.
Participants in the regular state Food Stamp Program do not need to apply for disaster aid because any revised benefits will automatically be added to their current Electronic Benefit card.
Individuals with disabilities can designate an authorized representative to apply for Disaster Food Stamps on their behalf. Also, each site manager has developed special procedures for assisting the disabled. Applicants with these special needs should make themselves known to the site manager or staff at the site.
In order to help the elderly, Council on Aging staff members have been trained to administer Disaster Food Stamps. People 60 years of age or older should contact their local parish Councils on Aging for the nearest Disaster Food Stamp Assistance Application Site for seniors. If the local Council on Aging is not available, seniors should contact the Governor's Office of Elderly Affairs at 1-877-340-9100.
For information about the schedules of the sites and to learn who is eligible to receive Disaster Food Stamps visit: www.dss.state.la.us or call 1-888-LAHELPU (1-888-524-3578).

Hearty, Healthy Raw Kale Salad with Lemon & ParmesanElizabeth Stark
Sometimes, when you're gearing up to eat something healthy it can feel like you should really go for it and steam that broccoli or channel a rabbit by eating raw carrots. But we tend to advocate for tasty ways to eat cooked vegetables. Let's face it, we should be eating plenty of these things and you shouldn't need to attain sainthood each time we do. Cooking makes vegetable taste good, and adding flavor and fat means you're likely to eat even more.
That said, I make one big exception in my love of cooked vegetables raw kale salad. Kale, especially the tender kale leaves of spring, are particularly well-suited to raw preparations. The leaves absorb lemon, olive oil, and salt beautifully, and make for a healthy, satisfying salad every time. For this recipe, I stayed pretty close to the classic flavors of lemon and olive oil, and added the zing of prepared horseradish and some nutty Parmesan to this splendid spring salad.

If Sponge Bob taught math, history, and science, you probably wouldn't object to your kids spending Saturday morning in front of the TV.
Meet Tim and Moby. Tim is a witty cartoon guy and Moby is his robot friend. Together on BrainPop they tackle everything from diagraming sentences to polynomials, and they do it with the madcap energy of your kids' favorite cartoons. The pair bring a little humor to their on-demand tutoring lessons, and keep the lectures short and to the point. They even cover health issues, so if you've put off talking to your kids about the facts of life, these goofballs will kick off the conversation.
Bottom line: Cartoons that teach? Worth the price of admission.
Grades: Kindergarten through eighth (adults have been known to enjoy it, too).
Cost: $9.95 a month or $99 a year

KALAMAZOO, MI — In the four decades he ran The Emporium, customers were on the forefront of Robert Medema's mind.
But, friends say, the 74-year-old didn't give that much thought.
"That's why he would be surprised," Rose Ann Makowski, a longtime friend of Medema, said of the many people who turned out at a downtown Kalamazoo funeral home Thursday. "I don't think he even realized how many lives he touched."
Several hundred people came to the late antique dealer's visitation at Langland Family Funeral Homes Memorial Chapel on South Burdick Street, a few blocks south of Medema's Kalamazoo Avenue antiques shop.
It was hard to find a parking spot or a place to stand inside inside the chapel. Funeral directors said they expected even more people to come to the later visitation, from 6 to 8 p.m.
Inside, a long line waited to speak with Medema's brother, Roger. On either side of the open casket were some of Medema's favorite antiques from his store: chairs and flower stands with marble top tables. There was also a framed profile from a Generations section of the Kalamazoo Gazette, with the headline: "Bob Medema, the Emporium Man."
Photos cycled through on a television screen: of a young Medema in a horse-drawn carriage, of Medema with friends, his brother, at Christmas time. Most had his facial hair, wrapping around his head but clean shaven in the front.
"He was a character with character," Makowski said.
People shared stories of Medema: how he would recommend what furniture to purchase — and what to avoid — depending on the style of the house; his wig and bib overalls; and his signature, handwritten letters thanking customers for their purchase.
They also wondered how the well-loved man could have been violently killed in his own home. Medema was found dead in his Oakland Drive on Saturday and police say he was murdered.
Peggie Ashbury came to the visitation with her husband, John, and sister Molly Beaupre to pay their respects. Ashbury, 59, first met Medema when she was at Kalamazoo Central High School and her mother bought a freestanding Hooiser cabinet for the family's kitchen.
"He always wanted to know how mom was," said Ashbury, who continued to shop at The Emporium. "He always had that personal touch."
And people were appreciative of Medema's kindness and friendship even before his untimely death. When Ashbury's mother died last year, that Hoosier cabinet was willed to Bob Medema.
Medema's funeral will take place Friday at 11 a.m. at Covenant United Reformed Church, 3724 Lovers Lane. A private burial will follow.
Correction, 9 p.m. Aug 16: An earlier version of this story had the incorrect first name for Medema's brother, Roger.

Pat and Mike
Who made it: Directed by George Cukor. With Katharine Hepburn, Spencer Tracy.
Audience appeal: 10 and up
Once upon a time: Pat Pemberton, the women's athletic coach at a California college, is an incredibly gifted all-around athlete — who, with some prodding from Mike, a Damon Runyonesqe character, decides to turn pro, finally focusing on tennis. There's only one problem: Every bit of confidence she has withers away in the presence of her disapproving fiance. Can she handle the ugly looks he's serving up courtside — and maybe, finally, find a true love match?
Inappropriate material: Nothing beyond some mild comic violence — and her fiance's wrong-headed assumption about her relationship with Mike.
Why kids will like it: Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy made nine films together, but this may be the easiest introduction for younger viewers: It's a comedy, with some nicely broad touches (a dim but sweet prizefighter, Pat's nightmarish hallucinations on the tennis court) and the modern message of a truly equal ("five-oh/five-oh") partnership between the sexes.
Why adults will like it: Long-time lovers in real life, Hepburn and Tracy were a great pair on the screen, too, and more than most, this film catches their complementary magic, with Tracy's regular-Joe gruffness a nice splash of lemon in the tonic of Hepburn's patrician style. His put-on Brooklynese is a bit awkward (Tracy never was great with accents) but Hepburn's genuine, gorgeous athleticism shines right through her tiny tennis whites. As he says admiringly here, "There's not much meat on her — but what there is, is cherce."
Fast forward/freeze frame: Nothing too hard to understand - except why the wonderful Pat has such a horrible fiance.
Fun trivia: They're just names in history books now, but many of the era's golf and tennis greats play themselves here, including Don Budge, Gussie Moran and Babe Zaharias. And look, among the supporting cast, for the film debut of Seton Hall kid and pro-athlete Chuck Connors (then with the L.A. Angels, later TV's "The Rifleman") and an early bit by a certain Charles Buchinsky, who'd soon be changing his name to Bronson.
Teachable moments: Unfortunately, the sexist attitudes (and self-confidence issues) Pat has to face are still with us today, and schoolchildren face them, too. But this might be a good excuse to talk about them, and maybe even point young readers towards biographies of some of history's great, barrier-breaking athletes.
Double features: Husband-and-wife screenwriters Garson Kanin and Ruth Gordon — yes, she was a writer, too - not only dreamed this story up for their friends Tracy and Hepburn, but "Adam's Rib" as well — another comedy about gender roles, relationships and competition. "Woman of the Year" is fun as well — except for the studio-imposed ending, which tries to put Hepburn in her place for not being able to make waffles.

A 52-year-old woman presented to the emergency department with a 2-week history of sharp, intermittent periumbilical abdominal pain and low-grade fevers. Her medical and surgical histories were significant for hypertension and obesity and a lower abdominal midline laparotomy for ruptured ectopic pregnancy. An abdominal computed tomographic scan revealed a 5-cm-long radiodensity in the mid small bowel directly abutting the anterior abdominal wall with surrounding inflammation and bowel wall thickening (Figure 1). Her white blood cell count was elevated at 15 000/μL (to convert to ×109/L, multiply by 0.001), and her abdominal examination revealed voluntary guarding and periumbilical tenderness to deep palpation. The findings were concerning for small-bowel perforation, and the patient was taken to the operating room for exploratory laparotomy.

Rethinking American Arbitration
Thomas Stipanowich
Pepperdine University School of Law
Indiana Law Journal, Vol. 63, No. 3, p. 425, 1987
In this 1987 article, Professor Stipanowich extensively analyzes data from an unprecedented broad-based survey on contract-based commercial arbitration in the United States. The study, based on a survey by the ABA Forum on the Construction Industry, provides considerable insight into experiences and perceptions of American attorneys regarding arbitration and litigation of construction and engineering disputes. It also summarizes and compares data developed in earlier studies of arbitration practice and procedure and suggests possible new directions for arbitration procedures.

Bond reduction hearing held
A hearing to reduce the bond of Donna Louise Greenwell, 51, 3028 Highway 113, Pitkin was held this week.
Greenwell's bond is set at $100,000 for allegedly selling two children for a bird and some cash in the parish in February. Her request to lower her bond was denied.
Greenwell was originally charged with aggravated kidnapping but is now facing charges of selling minor children.
Also charged in this case are Brandy Lynn, 27, and Paul James Romero, 46, 5296 Eunice/Basile Highway, Eunice, the couple who allegedly purchased the children. They have been out on bonds of $5,000 each after their bonds of $100,000 were successfully reduced before 13th Judicial District Judge John Larry Vidrine.

20 gauge for boar?
Tools and Technologies
> 20 gauge for boar?
December 27, 2002, 12:45 AM
do you think a 20 gauge slug or buckshot load can take down a wild boar (northern californian, dont know the size).

A while back in Guns & Ammo , they used a Benelli 20 gauge and Winchester Supreme Sabot slug loads and they worked well , personally , I'd prefer a 12 gauge , but you could probably use a 20 .
Dave McCracken
December 27, 2002, 04:24 AM
Tough call.The original Brennekes were developed for boar, but usually in 16 or 12 gauge.
Hogs are built like tanks, and in my limited experience,die hard. They also are pugnacious, armed with some very sharp teeth and reasonably intelligent. That's a combination that I myself would like to see die real soon after the shot.
IMO, a 20 gauge repeater loaded with the Rottweil Brennekes and with a cool hand directing same would be good for taking, say,250 lb eating pigs. For big boar, all gristle,scar tissue, teeth and attitude, something a bit bigger would be better.
As for buck, the only size commonly available for the 20 is #3.I'd want something like #1 or larger. Penetration is mandatory on stuff that can stomp my $%^&* into a mudhole.

in boar hunting, do you have to have your gun plugged to 3 rounds?
JeFF D
December 27, 2002, 03:20 PM
20 gauge sabot slug would be fine for boar, Winchester Supreme Partition Gold load for 20 gauge 2 3/4" outperforms .454 casull with the same bullet by 100fps.
I've never heard anyone say .454 casull was not adequate for boar.
For Rifled slugs use Brenneke 3" magnums, an ounce of lead at 1,400 fps should take a boar quite nicely.
Though I would not advise using the buckshot.
January 3, 2003, 07:21 PM
natedog, we do not have to plug the shot gun to three shots, here in VA. Here it is only plugged for water foul or other type of foul. You can ask your state's game and fishery or check it on net, but as far as hunting land critters that walk, I believe the state is on the line of thought, a shot gun is similiar to a rifle then. There is not limit to the bullets you can put in a rifle. Here in VA anyway.
On another related subject, I'm not even sure if the People's Republic of Maryland has allowed hunting to resume again after the sniper attacks a few months ago. That stopped hunting the last I heard.
January 3, 2003, 07:27 PM
CyberGop is correct in saying the 20 gage slug will work. We usually bring down a 180 to 220 pund pig with a 12 gage, but our guide says they use 20 gage all the time with good results. They even use 223. That is because the county we hunt boar in they only allow a shot gun or a 22 cal rifle. A 22 cal center fire meets their requirements of a 22cal.
January 8, 2003, 08:46 PM
I admit to taking a number of hogs in my youth with a single barrel Stevens 20ga. I used foster slugs, and my memory is of them working well, killing cleanly.

It's easy to talk the talk, and walk the walk but have you ever stop to think about other cultures. Culture shapes the soul of the deep spirited man. Culture has its own freedom for those who were born and raised in their own land. If I use a fork, and someone else uses a chopstick or another person uses his hand, what is so difficult to understand? We were all created as equal human beings; even though every culture has different levels of opportunities and abilities, what might seem oppressive to others is in fact freedom for those individuals. To fully understand a culture you have to live in that culture and integrate with the people, and then you will understand that you cannot separate culture from the ordinary "Man".

Jeanne Paquin (1869–1936), fashion design, Paris, 1908. Museum no. E.1618-1957
There is a pencil inscription 'Reginella' on the right hand side of the model. This could refer to the name of the dress, model or have some relation to a particular customer. The bottle green design is enhanced by the elaborate lace work adorning the cuffs and shoulder area of the dress. This design was created for the Summer collection 1908. This design if compared to earlier ones by Paquin, seems to show a straighter and slimmer silhouette which was becoming increasingly fashionable towards the end of the decade. The new high-waisted and shorter-skirted designs introduced by Paul Poiret were a main cause for this change. During their life time Poiret and Paquin remained fierce competitors.

"The buck stops here." – Harry Truman
It's thoughtful of Hillary Clinton to fall on her sword for President Obama over the Libyan debacle – and there may even be some legitimacy to it – but as his predecessor from Independence, Mo., famously observed, accountability rests in the Oval Office. Obama can no more evade responsibility for last month's attack on a U.S. diplomatic post in Libya than former President George W. Bush could for not heeding warnings of the 9/11 terror attacks in this country.
But for Obama, as for Bush, that may be both the bad news and the good news. Americans seem to understand that it is impossible to prevent every attack, every time. Even though the Bush administration had ample warning of Osama bin Laden's intention to attack the United States, Americans blamed bin Laden, not Bush.
That doesn't mean it's a free ride for presidents on whose watch American lives are lost, but it does mean that Americans are willing to look at the facts and come to reasonable conclusions about the degree of liability a president carries.
The question for Obama is what his role was in the insufficient level of security at the U.S. outpost in Benghazi, Libya, where Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three other Americans were murdered in an attack by terrorists. Clinton, following up on Vice President Biden's statement during Thursday's debate, said the responsibility was hers and that the White House hadn't been made aware of requests for increased security before the attack.
It's hard to know if that is true, but it is certainly not implausible. Just as word about bin Laden's intentions may not have risen to Bush's office, it is entirely possible that this request never landed on Obama's desk. But Obama is the president and, 67 years later, that is still where the buck stops.
It is predictable and not unreasonable for Republican nominee Mitt Romney to make an issue of the level of security at the diplomatic post. But he and his supporters are also walking a thin line, because Republicans – including Romney's running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan – have voted to cut security funding in the budget. One Republican practically bragged about it.
Asked on CNN if he had voted to reduce security funding, this is what Rep. Jason Chaffetz said: "Absolutely. Look, we have to make priorities and choices in this country. We have … 15,000 contractors in Iraq. We have more than 6,000 contractors, a private army there, for President Obama, in Baghdad. And we're talking about can we get two dozen or so people into Libya to help protect our forces. When you're in tough economic times, you have to make difficult choices. You have to prioritize things."
Thus, for the fiscal year 2011, the House cut $128 million from the administration's request for embassy security funding, and even more the next year and it is looking to make further reductions for 2013.
That doesn't absolve Obama or his administration, of course, but it does make clear that, just as lack of action or the failure to communicate can have dire consequences, so can spending decisions. There are more than two dirty hands in this sad episode.

Curious to see what impact the shift from cotton to corn has had on Louisiana, several LSU AgCenter economists have been scouring and studying data. Their formal findings are expected soon in a peer-reviewed paper.
ŌĆ£We looked at just under 300,000 acres of cotton that were planted in corn,ŌĆØ says Matthew Fannin, study co-author and assistant professor with the AgCenter. ŌĆ£We looked at them from planting to value-added processing and checked the inputs used to grow each commodity to processing, particularly the ginning for cotton and the drying and handling of corn by elevators.
ŌĆ£One target included understanding expenses incurred producing those commodities as well as the incomes earned by farmers in their production.ŌĆØ
Final numbers between the two commodities werenŌĆÖt far apart.
ŌĆ£There are positive developments represented by increased income from corn,ŌĆØ says Kenneth Paxton, AgCenter professor and study co-author. ŌĆ£And there are negatives because of the reduced expenditures for cotton production and the ginning component of the industry.ŌĆØ
The amount of cotton being grown in the state had been stable for the last few years. But what happened in 2007 was the price relationship changed so dramatically it encouraged farmers ŌĆö ŌĆ£especially cotton farmers,ŌĆØ says Paxton ŌĆö to consider growing corn.
ŌĆ£That triggered us to look at this. If cotton acreage in the state remains at the 2007 levels for an extended period of time, weŌĆÖll begin to lose cotton gins and the associated infrastructure.ŌĆØ
The big thing discovered: the net effect of switching to corn was only a bit over $700,000. But dig deeper and the hit to cotton was more substantial.
ŌĆ£Truth is, the $700,000 figure is very small ŌĆö less than 1 percent ŌĆö of what the Louisiana economy would have earned if the acreage had remained in cotton,ŌĆØ says Fannin.
How was the number calculated? ŌĆ£We had $29 million increased output in the economy driven almost entirely by the increased profit margins farmers were making in terms of planting and harvesting corn with the high historical prices per bushel.
ŌĆ£Those margins ŌĆö the revenues they made per acre planted minus their costs ŌĆö created farm household income, which after being spent and multiplying in the local economy, created a net effect with corn versus cotton that was almost $30 million.
ŌĆ£The lower cost of drying corn and higher cost of ginning resulted in the state economy losing about $3.5 million. Add everything together ŌĆö including several smaller factors ŌĆö and the state lost about $28 million.ŌĆØ
The economists based their assumptions on the corn price being about $3.25 per bushel and a yield average of 150 bushels per acre. Since their analysis went to review, the USDA has updated LouisianaŌĆÖs estimated yield upwards to 170 bushels per acre.
ŌĆ£With this higher yield level, weŌĆÖd expect the net effects, the $700,000 cited, to be higher.ŌĆØ
The other side of the coin shows there were losses to the state economy due to the corn switch. Mostly those losses were simply due to cotton being a more expensive commodity to grow than corn.
ŌĆ£I believe the numbers we were looking at, cost per acre, were about $290 (per acre) to grow corn in 2007 and just under $400 to grow cotton,ŌĆØ says Paxton. ŌĆ£So, thatŌĆÖs about $100 per acre less to grow corn.
ŌĆ£Well, a large amount of those dollars would have impacted local rural economies through inputs bought: herbicides, pesticides, etc. That $100 that isnŌĆÖt being spent has a negative ripple effect in the state economy, especially in rural areas.ŌĆØ
Likewise, it costs more to gin the equivalent of a harvested acre of cotton than it does to handle and dry an acre of corn. That means further losses to local economies.
ŌĆ£So, we have a large positive impact for the farmers,ŌĆØ says Fannin. ŌĆ£But thatŌĆÖs counter-balanced by an almost equal negative impact in losses to local input suppliers, gins and reduced labor.ŌĆØ
The shrinking of the cotton industry is a serious concern for the rural South, says Kurt Guidry, another LSU AgCenter economist. ŌĆ£While we donŌĆÖt know exactly how long this shift in agricultural production will last, itŌĆÖs obvious that the longer we move away from cotton production, the bigger the impact it will have on cotton infrastructure. If we do, in fact, see more permanent gin closings, one of the many potential consequences for our remaining cotton producers is increased transportation costs.
ŌĆ£In 2006, there were 44 gins in Louisiana. On average, each of those gins serviced about 14,000 acres. In 2007, those same gins will service, on average, 7,000 acres.ŌĆØ
With average operating capacities reduced by half, many of those gins wonŌĆÖt be able to operate. ŌĆ£Once gins begin shutting down, remaining cotton producers may find theyŌĆÖll have to transport their cotton longer distances to find a gin.ŌĆØ
And itŌĆÖs not only cotton gins that could be impacted. Relative to feed grain and soybean production, cotton is considerably more expensive to grow. Cotton producers generally purchase more inputs and services to grow their crop than other producers. ŌĆ£Therefore, when cotton acreage falls, youŌĆÖre reducing the total demand for things like custom applicators, crop consultants, herbicides and insecticides.ŌĆØ
Guidry says everyone needs to consider what losing cotton could mean for the agricultural sector a few years down the road. If this shift in acres is permanent, ŌĆ£we need to approach the resulting issues with solid information. Obviously, much of this will rely on how long this shift to corn will last. Already, people are saying corn acres will drop in the state in 2008 ŌĆö some say substantially at 35 percent, or so.
ŌĆ£One reason weŌĆÖre losing corn acres next year is wheat ŌĆö particularly when itŌĆÖs in a double-crop system with soybeans. The projections of profitability show thatŌĆÖs something that farmers should consider. And obviously, they are.ŌĆØ
Another factor is the comparison of corn and soybean prices. ŌĆ£Last January, the soybean-to-corn price ratio was running around 1.9, which simply means soybean prices were 1.9 times higher than corn prices. Now, that ratio is running closer to 2.6, which is much more favorable for soybean production.
ŌĆ£Producers are surely saying, ŌĆśOK, I can protect some of these prices and make solid decisions right now.ŌĆÖŌĆØ
Guidry has spoken with farmers who were surprised at the cost of producing a corn crop last season.
ŌĆ£Thankfully, Louisiana corn yields have been very strong. We should shatter the state average record by 10 to 15 bushels per acre. That certainly helps offset input costs and producers should make money. But when soybean prices are so good and fuel and fertilizer prices are still rising, itŌĆÖs hard to stay on board with corn.
ŌĆ£ThatŌĆÖs especially true when farmers consider how much they have to borrow to grow a corn crop. If a producer can project soybean profits at, or above, corn levels and he only has to assume the risk of borrowing $130 to $150 per acre versus borrowing $325 to $350, soybeans are more attractive.
ŌĆ£One producer told me, ŌĆśI just donŌĆÖt want to have to borrow as much money next year.ŌĆÖŌĆØ
The scuttlebutt is LouisianaŌĆÖs soybean acres will be up around 1 million in 2008. ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm also hearing we could lose a few more cotton acres next year. I donŌĆÖt fully buy into that. I think weŌĆÖll maintain cotton acres from this year.ŌĆØ
The 2008 futures prices on cotton are above 70 cents. And the cotton acres left in the state are on ground that can ŌĆ£produce nice yields. So I donŌĆÖt think those will shift and weŌĆÖll hold steady on cotton acreage,ŌĆØ says Guidry.
Subsidies and biofuel
Subsidy payments were not considered in the Fannin/Paxton economic analysis. ŌĆ£Because of the way the farm bill is structured, farmers will receive the payments whether they plant cotton or corn,ŌĆØ says Fannin. ŌĆ£The reality is we put that money as a positive for the corn acreage and we put the same amount as a negative because of the cotton acres. So itŌĆÖs a washout and has no impact on our numbers.ŌĆØ
The impact of biofuels was also not figured in although that will be included in future studies. ŌĆ£If we did have ethanol plants ŌĆö one is going in around Lake Providence, La., and more around Mississippi and Arkansas ŌĆö the corn that would typically leave might stay in the state. The additional value would be added on top of the cornŌĆÖs positive impact.ŌĆØ
Fannin says heŌĆÖs always careful when speaking about ethanol. ŌĆ£I see many estimates about ethanol on local and state economies. What they typically end up with is a number thatŌĆÖs bigger than the truth. TheyŌĆÖll add up the impact by estimating the bushels of corn needed by the ethanol plant and count that as an impact on the regional economy. But if corn is already planted there, the reality is the benefit to the farmer is only the difference between what the ethanol plant will pay versus what heŌĆÖs forward contracted or the cash price at the elevator. The premium would be what the ethanol plant pays the farmers.ŌĆØ
A dichotomy
Louisiana corn has brought about a dichotomy. ŌĆ£There are farmers who will do well in this environment,ŌĆØ says Fannin. ŌĆ£On the other hand there are those operating gins, those working there and those selling cotton inputs who are hurting. ThatŌĆÖs especially true of those strictly tailored to the cotton industry.ŌĆØ
For the rural development economist, ŌĆ£How and where that additional farm household income going to be spent? Will it be spent with merchants in the rural communities? Or will it go to urban areas like Monroe?ŌĆØ
One thing not addressed in the study is longer-term implications of the cotton-to-corn switch. ŌĆ£I know this year some farmers and gins are waiting to see what will happen,ŌĆØ says Paxton. ŌĆ£If the corn acreage remains high with low cotton acreage, farmers and gins will have to make some adjustments. Gins will simply cease to exist ŌĆö theyŌĆÖll just go out of business. That will put a restriction on farmers who might want to return to cotton.ŌĆØ
And it doesnŌĆÖt have to be cotton going to corn. ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖve also seen higher soybean and wheat prices,ŌĆØ says Fannin. ŌĆ£It doesnŌĆÖt matter what the crop is ŌĆö if itŌĆÖs keeping cotton acreage low, it reduces the bales available for gins.ŌĆØ

To ensure that your computer runs smoothly, you should regularly uninstall unnecessary programs. Each time you install a program on your computer, it is deeply anchored in your Windows® system where it remains until you uninstall it by finishing the de-installation process. If you no longer need a program, it is not enough just to uninstall it by simply deleting the the program folder or the desktop icon that you use to open it. Most programs scatter their files across several locations on your hard disk and also make entries in the registry, the central database of Windows®. So it's a time-consuming and risky process when you try to uninstall software. It's easier using a removal tool such as TuneUp's Uninstall Manager.We recommend using it to uninstall and remove unwanted programs in a flash. Once the uninstall process is completed you can clean the Windows® registry with our Registry Cleaner. So test the free TuneUp Utilities 2013 download right now and its powerful Uninstall Manager.

A surveillance camera captured parts of what happened before and after 19-year-old Denzel Curnell died of a bullet wound last month in front of a Charleston police officer.
But a struggle between the two happened during a gap in the footage that investigators blamed on a motion-activated camera that had stopped recording, according to a report released Friday by the State Law Enforcement Division.
The video from the Bridgeview Village apartments showed Officer Jamal Medlin's car traveling up to Curnell at 10:29 p.m. June 20. But just as the cruiser stopped, the footage skipped to 10:32 p.m., when it showed the first backup officer arriving seconds after the gunfire.
It skipped Medlin walking up to Curnell. It skipped the officer's attempts to subdue the young man. It skipped when investigators said Curnell committed suicide while pinned to the pavement.
A video of the confrontation could have settled questions about why the officer had stopped Curnell. Medlin said he had suspected Curnell of criminal activity because of the hooded sweatshirt he was wearing in 85-degree heat.
The Post and Courier obtained the video and the 298-page SLED report Friday through requests under the S.C. Freedom of Information Act. The Charleston Police Department also released public records this week that it had withheld during the probe.
The documents indicated how early evidence supported an initial theory that Curnell had committed suicide, even as authorities refused to release information about the case. But the reports also raised more questions.
In the surveillance footage, seconds-long gaps also were apparent before the break at the time of the shooting.
State experts later determined that the camera recorded only when it sensed motion. Its timer would freeze if the camera didn't pick up any action, the experts' report stated.
Why it works that way "was a question we have," SLED spokesman Thom Berry said Friday.
Why the camera shut off so abruptly also wasn't addressed in the SLED documents.
"Once it starts, it runs for a specified amount of time (without motion), then stops," Berry said. "Whenever there's sufficient motion in that field of view, it starts again. That's why it appears to be very jumpy video."
An attorney for Curnell's family said Friday that he had not thoroughly reviewed the SLED file. But Andy Savage's law firm planned to do its own investigation to "assess who, if anyone, should be held accountable or if this was solely Denzel's culpability," the attorney said.
Savage argued that much of the continuing suspicion around the case could have been avoided if the authorities hadn't withheld public information.
"We have serious concerns about the environment promoted by CPD management that appears not to give much of a priority to communications with its citizens," he said, "and may encourage unnecessary confrontation where confrontation is neither necessary or appropriate."
Gun in hand
Witnesses who talked with SLED investigators suspected that Medlin had shot Curnell from a few feet away, but none were sure about actually seeing the officer fire a gun.
Medlin drove up to Curnell, who was lingering outside an apartment building. It was part of Medlin's off-duty security job to make sure people like Curnell belong there.
The officer asked to talk with Curnell, but the man refused to take his hand out of his pocket, Medlin said in a written statement.
Medlin wasn't required to tell dispatchers that he was speaking with a possible criminal suspect because it was a "consensual encounter," the Police Department's spokesman later said.
Medlin tried to take Curnell into custody at gunpoint. The officer said he was holding Curnell down when the man shot himself in the head with a .38-caliber Armscor revolver he had taken from his stepfather's house.
After the single blast, Medlin jumped back and again pointed his own pistol.
"Shots fired. Bridgeview," he yelled into his radio. "Shots fired. Bridgeview."
Help arrived within seconds.
Firefighters saw that Curnell's head had been bleeding.
They rolled his lifeless body over to check for other injuries, according to some of the accounts, and two .38-caliber rounds fell from one of his pants pockets.
"We ... found the victim still holding a revolver-type handgun with his right hand," Charleston Fire Department Engineer Christopher Tennyson said in a statement.
Witness stories
About 150 residents and visitors soon gathered. Some were upset after they heard a gunshot and saw Medlin with a gun his hands.
Police commanders summoned more officers from other parts of the city.
Thirty-eight officers showed up. Three SLED agents also arrived.
The officers cordoned off the nearby apartment building and pushed back the onlookers. Some of them set out and found witnesses.
A 16-year-old girl told the SLED agents that she was standing on the street corner and talking with a friend when Medlin jumped out of his car and ordered Curnell at gunpoint to get on the ground.
The officer was patting down Curnell's clothing when she heard a bang and saw Medlin jump back, the teenager said. Her account differed from one given by the officer, who said he had asked Curnell for a chat.
But the girl told the agents that she hadn't seen a flash from the gun when it went off.
A 21-year-old visitor said she saw the initial struggle between the two and heard Curnell say that he didn't want to get hurt, the woman told the agents. Both of Curnell's hands were under his body, so Medlin yelled for him to put them behind his back, the witness said.
"Hold on, officer," Curnell said, according to the woman's statement. "What did I do? ... What did I do?"
Medlin had grabbed one of Curnell's arms by the time the woman heard the gunshot, she said. But she didn't know who had fired the weapon.
Two other witnesses told agents that Curnell had been shot with his back turned to the officer.
Medlin's statement concurred: He was lying on his stomach with the officer on top of him when he shot himself.
But one witness said Medlin was standing 3 feet away when the gunshot went off.
Fruitless attempts
Some of the conflicting stories could have been settled with video.
Medlin drove one of the department's new Ford police cars, but it wasn't equipped with a camera.
But signs at the entrance to the former public housing project warn visitors about video surveillance. One of the cameras was pointed at the curbside where Curnell died.
Maintained by the owners of the North Romney Street complex, the cameras have been part of an effort to fight crime there, and police spokesman Charles Francis said officers can see the footage through a private network.
"We have worked with Bridgeview to have the capability to view video captured by their system through a virtual private network," he said.
Alerted to a news report of the shooting, a neighborhood property manager went to her office and checked for footage around 12:15 a.m., less than two hours after the incident, with three members of the Police Department.
That's when she and the officers found out about the gap, she told SLED in a written statement 10 days later.
The first part of the video depicted Medlin's car traveling on the wrong side of the road. It braked feet from someone dressed in black and standing still on the grass.
The clip featured a period from 10:22 p.m. to 10:40 p.m. Medlin first reported the shooting to dispatchers at 10:32 p.m.
"We were able to see when an officer ... approached a figure in black," the worker wrote. "The camera skipped time to 10:32 p.m. and we saw Officer Medlin standing near the rear of his car and other officers arriving."
At least one Charleston police officer documented an attempt to find surveillance video.
Senior Patrol Officer Kristy McFadden wrote in a supplemental incident report that she met with the complex manager but "was unable to obtain video," she stated in the paperwork.
No other officers wrote about any video in the city documents obtained this week.
Three days later, experts at the vendor that maintains the surveillance system told the complex employee that their attempts at finding the footage were fruitless.
'When the moment arises'
Without video, investigators relied on physical evidence taken from the scene to confirm what happened.
Early in the probe, SLED agents never indicated in their notes any suspicion that Medlin had fired a gun.
But the community's skepticism raged during the first week as the authorities remained silent about key details of the incident. During that time, Medlin added to his original statement to clarify that he had never fired a gun.
Other evidence that police officers and the agents gathered also started to confirm the initial report that Curnell had committed suicide.
But with witnesses being interviewed and more evidence being collected, the Police Department's spokesman said agency officials couldn't talk about the case. Police Chief Greg Mullen also said this week that SLED had given his department a "specific request" not to divulge any information.
"It was appropriate to not release preliminary information which could have changed or impacted the ability for SLED to complete a thorough and comprehensive investigation," Francis said. "We still support this position."
In that first week, SLED agents learned about Curnell's past in the military that could have helped explain sooner why he might have killed himself.
The Army paperwork revealed that he was depressed during basic training in Georgia late last year. He was on suicide watch before being discharged.
The SLED agents soon contacted Curnell's recruiter, who said he hadn't heard of any intention by the Burke High School graduate to return to the Army. They obtained paperwork indicating that Curnell was fighting emotional issues even as he enlisted last year. His own writing in those documents played into prosecutors' decision not to further investigate criminal charges in his death.
"I am usually quiet and will do what is told," Curnell wrote then, "but will snap when the moment arises."

A Secret Crack'd
Elizabeth Taylor told the story to illustrate why she made the Agatha Christie whodunit The Mirror Crack'd. But it also may shed some light on why her marriages to Richard Burton broke up. "I happen to adore detective stories," she explained. "Richard and I used to read them in bed. We had a copy each and when we got to page 50 or thereabouts, we both wrote down the name of the murderer. I'm glad to say that I invariably beat him."
The Bunny Trail
Can a hot young ballet dancer like the New York City Ballet's Christopher d'Amboise, 21, make the leap to popular dance? The Playboy Club thought so and invited d'Amboise to choreograph an upcoming floor show. In auditioning, he got his first close look at real Bunnies. How did he like them? "I was embarrassed," he reports. "There's no way you can look without feeling you're peeping." Did he meet anyone interesting, long-eared and bushy-tailed? Said Christopher, who clearly wouldn't mind becoming a bit of a playboy himself: "They date guys like James Bond. I just don't measure up—yet."
Don't Worry, Jerry Brown
Linda Ronstadt, starring in The Pirates of Penzance on Broadway, says she's "turning into a nun" in New York. Though she's sometimes seen barhopping with columnist Pete Hamill (formerly best friend to Shirley MacLaine and Jackie Onassis, in that order), Linda says her life is typically like this: "I need 10 hours of sleep a day—12 if I can get it. And then I get up and sort of stagger around. And then I go down and do the show. Then I come right home."
A Royal Good Time
An Edinburgh tavern had a reservation for Princess Margaret, and a royal inspector even showed up to eyeball the forks. After frantic preparations, the hour drew nigh and an appalled manager noted that the dining room was empty save for one table. Disaster—she might as well dine alone, at home! The manager rushed to the bar next door and promised the assembled crowd free drinks if they'd all sit at tables and at least pretend to order dinner. The thrifty Scots filed in and drank up, setting the place abuzz with sociability. It was a masterstroke of stage management. There was one catch. The princess and her party never arrived. All the manager had to show for his ingenuity was "a restaurant full of lushes."
And Kissing the Ground
Anthony Quinn, 65, whose next sands-and-sweat saga is Lion of the Desert, has played all sorts of historical roles and is mulling over seven—count 'em, seven—more offers of the same kind. "I know I can't compete with the De Niros, Pacinos and Redfords," says the man who has played Paul Gauguin and a Russian Pope, not to mention Zorba the Greek. "I'm one of the few actors left who still get a star salary and never get the girl. I wind up with a country instead."
•As long as he has his voice and his piano, Ray Charles needs little else to be fulfilled. "There were two things I was always determined not to have," says the 50-year-old blind musician. "One was a dog. The other was a cup so that I could stand begging on a street corner."
•Luci Johnson, who converted to Catholicism while her father was in the White House, considers herself "something of a religious zealot," but not a member of the Moral Majority. "I belong to a Bible study group and I study every day," she says, "but I don't know of anyone who has found the Christian position on the ERA or the Panama Canal in the Bible. It's just not there."

text: Actually Karin, I think the signals that come and then dissipate are the true signals of hunger, at least for me. I will get a little nudge of tummy growl and then it will go away. Then a bit later comes a larger nudge and then it will go away. For me the false hunger pangs are called out by the fact that I am standing in front of the pantry door looking for quick carbs, and this action is rarely preceded by tummy grumble, but usually just the thought that I am hungry-so more of a brain fart.

Major Applewhite joins the Crimson Tide football staff after spending the 2006 season as the youngest coordinator in Division I football. Applewhite, 28, crafted a spread attack that scored the most points (350) and gained the third-most yards (4,486) in Rice's history. Under Applewhite, the Owls produced a 1,000-yard rusher, a 1,000-yard receiver, and a 1,000-yard passer for the first time in school history en route to the program's first appearance in a bowl game since 1961. The 2006 Rice offense produced a 109-point improvement in scoring over the previous season.
Applewhite was the quarterbacks coach at Syracuse University in 2005. In 2003-04, he was a graduate assistant on the offensive staff at Texas, where he was influential in the development of all-America quarterback Vince Young. One of the top quarterbacks in University of Texas history, Applewhite, 27, had a 22-8 record as a starting quarterback with the Longhorns. Finishing his career in 2001, he is UT's all-time leader in passing yards (8,353), passing touchdowns (60), passing attempts (1,065), and total offense (8,059).
The Longhorns' team captain in 2001, he helped Texas to four straight bowl games: the 1999 and 2000 Cotton Bowls, and the 2000 and 2001 Holiday Bowls. He was the Holiday Bowl's co-offensive MVP in his final college game in 2001, leading the Longhorns to a 47-43 comeback win over Washington. Applewhite was the Big 12's freshman of the year in 1998 and shared the league's offensive player of the year honors as a sophomore in 1999.
A native of Baton Rouge, La., Applewhite threw for 50 touchdowns and ran for eight more in two years as a starter at Catholic High School. He was tabbed an honorable mention prep all-America by USA Today after leading Catholic High to a 13-1 record and no. 10 national ranking as a senior. He was 25-2 as a schoolboy starter. Applewhite completed his degree in sport management at the University of Texas in December, 2002.
