Rental Agreements or Leases
Rental Agreements & Leases
Once the tenant has found an apartment or house to rent, an agreement must be reached with the landlord. Remember, the terms of such an agreement are part of the "deal" between the tenant and the landlord, and the terms should be negotiated in the same way as the purchase of a car. When a car is bought or sold, the agreement is set out in a written contract. In the landlord-tenant world, that contract is called a "rental agreement" or a "lease." The law requires the landlord to provide a written rental agreement.
The next sections of this guide will describe things to watch out for in negotiating and signing a "rental agreement" or a "lease."
A. Periodic vs. fixed-term tenancies
There are several important things to remember about the contract for the rental dwelling. The first thing is that the tenant and landlord are agreeing to rent for some length of time. It may be a week, two weeks, a month, six months, or even a year. The tenant and the landlord need to know what that length of time--the term--will be.
The most common type of rental agreement is a month-to-month tenancy, which is often called a "periodic tenancy." This type of agreement allows the tenant to live in the dwelling for a month at a time. At the end of the month, the landlord may decide that s/he wants the tenant to move out or wants to raise the rent or change other conditions of the tenancy. In a month-to-month tenancy, the landlord must give the tenant a written notice at least thirty days in advance for any changes in the rent or conditions, or to end the tenancy. If the tenant wants to move, s/he must give the landlord at least thirty days written notice. If the tenant gives less than thirty days notice, the tenant can be held responsible for the following month's rent.
Some rental agreements are for less than a month. They are still "periodic tenancies," but all the time limits for notice are based on the length of this term. For example, if the tenant and the landlord agree that the term is two weeks at a time, the landlord must give the tenant two weeks notice to move or to raise the rent. The tenant must give the landlord two weeks notice if the tenant intends to move.
The term the tenant agrees to is always important, and the parties should have a clear understanding of what the tenant and the landlord have agreed on. This is very important when someone is renting a room in a hotel or a motel. If the tenant is renting a hotel or motel room for more than a week as their main place to live and the tenant pays rent on a weekly basis, the tenant has a periodic tenancy. This can be important in giving the tenant rights under the Uniform Owner-Resident Relations Act. A person who is simply stopping at a hotel or motel while visiting or passing through town is not a tenant, and the person has few rights if the owner decides to have the person leave. If the guest intends to stay in a hotel or motel for a couple of days, be sure to inform the hotel or motel that you intend to be living there as a resident and not just a short term visitor. A hotel or motel is not required to allow you to establish a residency. A hotel or motel can require daily payment in order to ensure that the occupancy remains temporary.
A definite term, or fixed-term tenancy, is one where the tenant and the landlord have agreed that the tenant will be renting for a specific period of time. This type of agreement is usually for 6 months or a year. The tenant may still be paying rent each month, but the tenant has the right to
stay for the full period without a rental increase or other changes. In this type of tenancy, the landlord cannot make the tenant move out during the term of the lease unless the tenant violates the agreement. The landlord cannot raise the rent during the period of the lease. If the tenant and the landlord agree that the tenant will be staying for an additional fixed term when the lease ends, the landlord must give notice of any rent increase in the new agreement at least thirty days before end of the current lease.
In thinking about whether a "periodic tenancy" or a "fixed-term tenancy" is best, the parties should consider several issues. In a fixed term tenancy, the tenant has a right to stay for the full term and the rent will not be increased during that term. However, in a fixed-term tenancy, the tenant may owe the landlord rent for some of the rental term if the tenant decides to move out before the term ends. The landlord will not be able to terminate the lease until the end of the lease term and loses flexibility in how the property is used. In a periodic tenancy, the tenant has more flexibility in ending the tenancy, but neither party has the security of a fixed-term agreement.
B. Oral agreements
There are a lot of important legal issues about the rental agreement even in an area as simple as how long the rental term is. If the agreement is not in writing, there can be serious misunderstandings between the tenant and the landlord. For example, the landlord rents a place to the tenant for a month at a time, and the tenant tells the landlord that s/he will be therefor 6 months. If the agreement about the term is not in writing, then it will be difficult to prove in court that the term was six months as opposed to month-to-month.
It is possible to have enforceable oral agreements but certain agreements, such as an agreement that the tenant will make repairs to the property, must be in writing to be enforceable.
Although New Mexico law requires a written rental agreement (or "lease"), some landlords don't use them. Usually, a landlord that refuses to give the tenant a written rental agreement is a landlord that the tenant will have trouble with down the road. While the law is designed to give the tenant all the rights and protection that are discussed in this guide even if the tenant does not have a written rental agreement, it is often difficult to enforce those rights when the tenant does not have the rental agreement in writing and signed by the tenant and the landlord. If the tenant starts to have problems with the landlord, and the tenant does not have a written rental agreement, it is very important that the tenant immediately seek legal advice. It is also important that both the landlord and the tenant have a copy of the signed agreement. Although this does not happen frequently, landlords have called the police and claimed that tenants were trespassers when the tenant does not have a written rental agreement.
C. Written leases
A written rental agreement sets out the promises that the landlord and the tenant make to each other. In most cases, promises the landlord made at the time the tenant moved in or afterward will be difficult to enforce if they are not in the written lease or in an attachment to the lease. The tenant should make sure that all agreements that were important to the tenant are put in the lease. For example, if the landlord promised to provide new locks or fix a fence, the promise should be made part of the lease. Think of putting promises in writing as a way to avoid disputeslater on.
A written fixed-term lease is usually the best deal for the tenant and the landlord. It offers both the security of continued occupancy and unchanged rent. When the tenant and the landlord agree to a fixed-term lease, the parties have made a commitment to each other for an agreed upon time.
At the same time, it is important to remember that the tenant's promises are also part of the agreement, and a written lease sets out what the tenant has agreed to do. For example, when two roommates co-sign a lease, either one can be held entirely responsible for the entire rental agreement.
D. Rules and regulations
Many landlords, especially in large apartment complexes or mobile home parks, will have Rules and Regulations in addition to the lease. The Rules and Regulations are part of the lease and should be read just as carefully as the lease agreement. If there are Rules and Regulations, the
tenant should receive a copy at the same time as s/he receives a copy of the lease. Violations of the Rules and Regulations can be the basis for notices of termination of the tenancy. The landlord can change the Rules and Regulations during the lease term but must give reasonable notice to the tenant of the proposed change and the proposed change must not substantially modify the tenancy.
E. Lease provisions
One of the main reasons to insist on a written lease is that there is so much involved in an agreement to rent a house or apartment. However, just because there is a written lease does not mean that the tenant's worries are over. The tenant needs to read the lease, be sure that s/he understands everything in it, and try to make the best deal the tenant can.
1. Form leases
Most landlords use form leases. These are preprinted forms that have been prepared for a landlord to use with all tenants. These forms will have blank spaces to be filled in for rent, deposits, number of occupants, etc. Make sure that all of the blank spaces are filled in or marked "N/A" (not applicable). While leases are often difficult to read, it is still important that both the landlord and the tenant read the lease and sign it.Also, if there are provisions in the lease the tenant did not agree to or the tenant does not want, the tenant should try to get those provisions removed before signing the lease. If the lease is signed with those provisions still included, the tenant will be bound by them. When any changes are made on the lease form, both the landlord and the tenant should initial the changes.
Landlords can obtain information about leases from the Apartment Association of New Mexico, located in Albuquerque (505-822-1114 or 800-687-0993 and on-line at www.aanm.org).
2. Provisions against subleasing
Most form leases contain language that prohibits subleasing or assigning a house, mobile home or apartment to other people. Often something like the following wording will appear in a lease:
"The lessee herein further covenants and agrees that s/he will not sell, assign, transfer, relinquish, encumber or in any manner dispose of this lease or any part of it; also lessee further covenants and agrees for himself and others not to sublet the demised premises or any part or portion thereof nor in any manner permit the occupancy and use thereof by another or others."
Quite a mouthful, isn't it? It means that the tenant cannot allow anyone else to rent the apartment or to take over the lease. Provisions like this usually are understood to mean that the landlord can agree to a "sublease" agreement or to having someone else take over the lease. If the landlord does agree to a sublease, it will have to be in writing. It is very important that the tenant contact his/her landlord if the tenant wants to sublease, reach agreement on the sublease, and have the agreement put in writing and signed by everyone concerned (including the person the tenant wantsto sublet to). This agreement needs to specify who is responsible if the subtenant does not pay the rent or damages the property. If the landlord does not agree to the sublease, the tenant will be responsible. Even if the landlord does agree, the agreement could still hold the tenant responsible for the subtenant.
If the lease requires landlord approval before subleasing a house or apartment, the tenant should make sure that it also states that "consent may not be unreasonably withheld for any suitable tenant." Try to get this language in the lease or rental agreement, because it will protect the tenant in the event of a situation where the landlord decides to be unreasonable about the people that can move in or about new terms and conditions for a sublease. Mobile home parks generally require that the buyer of a mobile home located in the park must apply to lease the space that the mobile home is on. The buyer does not automatically take over the lease that the seller had for the mobile home space.
Remember that a provision prohibiting subleasing does not prevent the tenant from having friends visit as guests in the tenant apartment or rental house. The tenant is entitled to have a reasonable number of guests stay for a reasonable time. The lease may specify the length of time that the tenant may have guests. The tenant may not, however, be able to have a roommate or have friends sharing the residence permanently when the lease prohibits subleasing.
3. Automatic renewal
A lease may contain language that provides for the automatic renewal of the term of the lease. Such a provision usually states that if the lease is not canceled in advance (usually 30 days) of its termination date, then it will renew itself for another term, or it may turn into a month lease. The tenant should be aware of the language in the lease or rental agreement. Such language may commit the tenant to stay an extra year, or whatever term is in the agreement, when the tenant might not want to stay that long. The tenant should also remember this language when the lease term is about to run out. The tenant must decide whether to stay over for another full term. If the tenant doesn't want to stay, written notice must generally be given to the landlord.
Most leases renew on a month-to-month basis. This means that either the tenant or the landlord can end the lease by giving at least a 30-day notice.
If the tenant leaves when a lease has been automatically renewed, the tenant may owe the landlord rent. The tenant may also lose some of the deposits. (See the Chapter on "Moving out" in this guide for more information on rights and duties when the rental agreement ends).
4. Objectionable clauses in leases
A landlord may want to put many different conditions in the lease, but remember that the tenant has the right to negotiate the best deal possible. Being sure that you understand what is in the written agreement is part of that negotiating process. There are certain things that may not legally be included in a lease agreement. For example, a lease may not include terms and conditions that are prohibited by the Owner-Resident Relations Act or other laws governing the use of property. The lease may also not require the tenant to give up rights under the law. If a lease contains such
illegal provisions, the tenant may be able to collect damages and get attorneys fees in a lawsuit if the tenant is harmed by the landlord's attempt to enforce the illegal provision.
Here are some examples of lease provisions that are illegal:
-A provision that says the tenant does not get a refund of prepaid rent or a deposit;
-A provision that charges a late fee greater than 10% of the monthly rent;
-A provision that forces the tenant to give up the right to defend him/herself in court if the landlord seeks to evict the tenant or files suit against the tenant for damages;
-A provision that says the tenant must give up the right to receive notice of termination or notice of a court action;
-A provision that says the tenant must give up the right to take the landlord to court;
-A provision that says the tenant has to move out without court action if the landlord breaks the lease;
-A provision that allows the landlord to change the locks at the apartment or otherwise deny the tenant access to the apartment when the tenant owes rent;
-A provision that allows the landlord to hold the tenant's personal property after an eviction or when the landlord claims the tenant owes rent.
A lease that requires the tenant to perform all the landlord's duties to maintain the rental property in a safe condition means that the landlord has no duties. Such a lease clause is illegal, unless the agreement on repairs is in writing and the tenant gets something of value in return (such as reduced rent, special privileges or wages).
Some lease clauses are not illegal, but they turn out to be very unfair. Courts have the power to change, or limit, any lease provisions that the tenant can show are "inequitable" (very unfair to one party in the lease agreement). If the tenant feels that the lease may contain unfair or illegal provisions, the tenant should quickly seek legal advice.
5. Other important points in a rental agreement
a. Rent
What is the amount of the rent? When is it due? Where, how, and to whom is it to be paid? Be sure what is written in the agreement is what was agreed to. Be mindful that some of these terms may not be in the agreement. If they are not there, the law has its own rules for filling in the missing terms. For example, if there is no rent stated, the rent will be the fair market rental value. If the agreement does not say where or when the rent is to be paid, the law requires it be paid at the rental unit on the first day of each month (or the first day of each week, if the rent is paid weekly).
b. Late charges
What are the charges, if any, for late payment of rent? When do the late charges begin? Many leases provide a three or five day grace period. This means that the late fee is not charged until the third or fifth day of the rental period. If the agreement provides for late charges, the charge may not legally be for more than 10% of the rent for the period that is overdue. For example, if the rent is $500 per month, a charge for late payment may not exceed $50. In addition, the landlord may charge a reasonable fee for returned checks.
c. Utilities and appliances
Who is responsible for the utilities? If the tenant is responsible, what is the metering system? Will the tenant have a separate meter, shared with other tenants, or a sub-meter? How will utility costs between tenants on shared meters be divided? If the tenant will be paying for the utilities, it is important to know the date by which the tenant is responsible for transferring the utilities to his/her name. Sometimes the landlord will have the utilities in his/her name while the apartment is vacant. This can frequently lead to confusion about who is responsible for the utilities and sometimes results in a utility shut-off. The responsibility for the utilities should be spelled out very specifically in the rental agreement.
Sometimes the utilities are included in the rent. If the landlord fails to pay the utility or water bills and the utilities or water are shut off tenant will be entitled to a rent abatement. The tenant can also choose to pay to have the utilities turned back on. The tenant may be entitled to deduct all costs from the rent, and may also be entitled to damages. If the landlord fails to comply with his or her obligation to provide utilities, the local code enforcement agency can also be contacted.
The landlord is not required to supply any appliances, including stoves, refrigerators, dishwashers, air conditioners or swamp coolers. If the landlord does supply an appliance,then it is the landlord's obligation to make sure that the appliance is in good working condition. The landlord is also responsible for any repairs to the appliances. Again, it is a good idea to make sure that the lease is specific about the appliances, including any appliances to be supplied by thetenant. If the tenant wishes to install a washer and dryer, or a dishwasher, s/he should get the agreement of the landlord. It is then the tenant's responsibility to remove the appliance at the end of the lease term and restore the premises to their original condition.
If the landlord shuts off the utilities, or removes appliances, as a way to evict the tenant, that is illegal and the tenant may be entitled to a statutory penalty and damages. See Chapter 9 on lock-outs.
d. Owner or authorized agent
What is the name, address, and telephone number of the person authorized to manage the rental property? What is the name, address, and telephone number of the owner and/or an agent who is authorized to receive notices or service of court papers? The law requires the landlord to provide this information. If the landlord fails to provide it, the tenant does not have to give certain notices to the landlord (for example, a notice of termination or of rent abatement).
It is important to have information about where the tenant can reach the landlord or the landlord's agent. If necessary, the tenant can get property ownership information at the county tax assessor's office. (In Bernalillo County: One Civic Plaza NW, Albuquerque, NM 87102, Phone: (505)768-4031; or at the State Corporation Commission in Santa Fe, at (505)827-4500, if the owner is a corporation). Many county and state agencies now have this kind of information available through websites.
e. Repairs and maintenance
What does the rental agreement say about the responsibilities for repairs, yard work, trash removal, snow removal, and general maintenance around the apartment or house? Is the tenant being asked to do work or take responsibility in areas that should be part of the landlord's duties to tenants? Are the responsibilities spelled out in the written rental agreement? This is particularly important if the agreement shifts the responsibility for the landlord's duties to the tenant.
Rentals of houses are often treated differently than apartments in this regard. The yard of the house is often considered part of the premises and thus its maintenance is the tenant's responsibility. Tenants may have to pay for the water necessary to maintain the landscaping around the house. Rentals of apartments, however, almost never include an outdoor area.
f. Guests
A landlord may not charge a "guest fee" for the tenant to have a reasonable number of guests visit for a reasonable time. Remember though that what may seem "reasonable" to one person might not be so "reasonable" to someone else. The lease may contain a provision about guests. Some landlords also have Rules and Regulations in addition to the lease. The Rules and Regulations may contain a policy on guests even if the lease does not. The tenant should also check to see whether the landlord charges a fee for the guests' use of facilities at the rental unit (e.g. laundry facilities, pool, and parking). Fees for these types of things are allowed, and the tenant should find out what the charge will be for guests who want to use these facilities.
g. Pets
A landlord may prohibit the tenant from having pets. If pets are not permitted, the lease should specifically say so. If pets are allowed, the landlord may charge a pet fee (either a lump sum or a monthly amount) and a pet deposit. This is part of the rental agreement and should be set out in the lease. Landlords can have rules about the size, number or type of pets that are allowed. Landlords must allow service animals for persons with disabilities. Service animals can include, for example, seeing-eye dogs and assistive animals for people with mobility impairments and therapeutic animals for people with mental disabilities. If a landlord will not allow a tenant to have a service animal, that is a violation of the Fair Housing Act. See Chapter 13 on Housing Discrimination.

The axe wound found on women or an adventure play ground found right next to a sewerage outlet. It can be bald, hairy, a landing strip, trimmed and manicured. It can be smelly - like fish - taste tangy or if you are lucky, be completely neutral and delicious - you'll growl for hours if this is the case. Can also be an ini or an outi - look like a badly packed kebab or a nice sweet freshly cut mango!

City Council Swears In Galliher, New Council Members
The City of Sedalia officially swore in the new mayor and two new city council members at the Sedalia City Council meeting Monday night (April 22).
The City of Sedalia officially swore in the new mayor and two new city council members at the Sedalia City Council meeting Monday night (April 22).
While the main issue at Monday night's City Council work session (March 3) was a final review of the 2015 fiscal budget, the item on the agenda that garnered the most attention was amending the smoking ordinance for the City of Sedalia.
There was only one item on the Sedalia City Council's agenda at their meeting on Monday night (Feb. 10). The council held another public forum on the smoking ban that was put into effect in September of 2013.
The Sedalia City Council has decided to once again bring the smoking ban to the council chamber floor for discussion and possibly revision.
If there's one thing I'm sure we've all seen driving around town, it's the good old Christmas lights. It seems like some people are ready to get their lights up as soon as Halloween! But now it's December, and that means that everybody's gonna be getting theirs up soon. So why not join in on a little friendly competition?
The Sedalia City Council took up the ordinance to allow inspections of downtown buildings at last night's city council meeting (Dec. 3).
The Sedalia City Council held a special meeting Monday night (Oct. 29) to present a draft for an ordinance on mandatory building inspections for downtown buildings. Following a presentation of the ordinance by Sedalia City Administrator Gary Edwards, Sedalia Mayor Elaine Horn asked for comments from the downtown building owners in attendance.
The Sedalia City Council recently decided to uphold the smoking ban, which is necessary to protect the welfare of the public's health. The rights of the non-smoker have been up in flames until recently. Since Sedalia has eliminated smoking in public places, they should also eliminate other things in this town to make it more healthy for us all.
The Sedalia City Council met Saturday morning (Oct. 12) in a work session with only one item on the agenda: Sedalia's smoking ban. After the city council split 4-4 on a vote to leave the current smoking ban unchanged, Mayor Elaine Horn's tie-braking vote supported the option, resulting in no changes to the ban. The city council may revisit the issue in 60 days.
The Sedalia City Council met at City Hall last night (Oct. 7), and once again, it was not a quiet meeting. A large number of bar owners, and other citizens filled the chamber to wait their turn at the microphone in order to protest the smoking ban, a ban which many business owners said has nearly put them out of business.

Return to A.D. 1376
by Bronwyn Wilson
Senior Staff Reporter
Medieval life is no longer a thing of the distant past. Enter a world of paupers and princes, knights and ladies, merchants, magicians and monks. Step into the year 1376. But first, you'll have to drive to Carnation.
And if you already live in Carnation, your drive is just a few minutes up Stillwater Hill Road. But no matter how long it might take, once you arrive you'll discover a historical recreation of medieval Europe resting in a nature-like setting. As you turn down the driveway at the sign reading "Camlann Medieval Village," medieval timber-framed buildings appear before you. The leaded diamond-shaped windows and the town gate tower are reminiscent of architecture straight out of a fairy tale.
The name Camlann is taken from the Battle of Camlann where King Arthur perished. Camlann is a representative name of a typical medieval village since no one knows for certain where Camlann was actually located.
Roger Shell and his wife Sally are the inspiration and founders behind Camlann Village. Said Roger, "The goal is to put together a village so people can come here and feel like they are in the 14th century." He explained that his interest in the Middle Ages grew out of his vocation as a folksinger in the 60s. As he began to research the ballads of the songs he played on his guitar, he found life in medieval Europe to be fascinating.
"It's colorful. It's interesting," he said and pointed out that the appeal of the Middle Ages is interesting to a lot of people. "People are fascinated by knights and armor."
He said that he and his wife want to hold up the medieval culture as a comparison to today. The Middle Ages help us to understand where we come from.
"This is where our values come from ‹relationships, fashions, manners all come from the Middle Ages," he said.
The idea is not to return to the Middle Ages, but to take the good aspects of that time and incorporate it into today's life.
As an example, Shell mentioned that the medieval family worked together as an economic unit. People in today's world drive to jobs they hate, making things they don't like. Shell hopes to remind people of a time when families worked together. To accomplish this, he brings the Middle Ages to the 21st century.
"The idea here is to learn about it by experiencing it," he said. He wants people who visit the village to feel like they are living in the year of 1376. And he has left no detail out in this endeavor.
The village includes a restaurant called The Bors Hede. Dinner is a two hour affair with minstrel songs and food unique to the 14th century. Upon arriving, guests are greeted by Roger who is in full medieval attire.
Wearing a woolly gown called a cote, with a hood known as a capuchon, he speaks in hybrid Middle English, addressing his guests as Mílady and Mílord.
Meals are served in the dining hall where a real, stuffed boar's head hangs on the fireplace. Instead of plates, guests are given a round slice of bread to eat upon just as guests were given 625 years ago. Entrees, such as fenberrie pye made of pork, fowl and fenberries, are eaten with fingers or a spoon as forks were considered crude dining utensils. There are no lattes here and they don't take American Express or any other credit card for that matter. If it wasn't done in the 14th century, it isn't done at The Bors Hede.
This is why customers are asked to leave cameras and cell phones at home. A ringing cell phone or flashing bulbs will spoil the authentic effect.
Attention to historical accuracy is also paid to the seasonal feasts which are held in the restaurant throughout the year, such as the Lenten Feast in March and St. George's Feast in April.
In addition, there are several seasonal events, including the Festival for May in the spring and the Medieval Faire in the summer. The summer faire is a little bit larger than the May festival with a show of knights in armor competing in foot combat tournaments. There are also musicians, puppet shows, archery and an operational catapult. Actors perform small vignettes in and among fair visitors. Life-like scenes of common folk in the Middle Ages discussing the news of the day are acted out.
One scene might entail a discussion about the King and what heís doing in London. Craft Shops are also open during the festivals and by appointment year round. Shell noted that this yearís Festival for May will have a new feature. ěWeíre going to have a textile demonstration,î he said. It will be a ësheep to shawlí exhibition showing the process, from carding the wool to spinning to weaving and dying. His idea, he said, is to mix the fun and education together. And he believes that education about medieval Europe has been lost with the generalized depiction of the period in movies and in books. ěWe tend to generalize history,î he said. ěThe Middle Ages covers a thousand years and dozens of cultures and we tend to lump all these together.î He went on to explain that the movies show the unusual and the exciting parts of medieval life, such as the battlefield scenes, and so the idea of what life was like then is distorted.
But Roger Shell is working to correct the distorted impression that many people have. He holds educational presentations for children who visit on school field trips. Through show and tell, he discusses life as it was in 1376 and sets out tools, armor and clothing for the children to see.
Shell has researched every aspect of Camlann Village, from the ballads he plays on his lute to the recipes used in restaurant entrees to the architecture on the premises. His goal is to develop the village so that people who visit can feel like they are transported back to the fourteenth century. ěWe made several trips to Europe to research (the architecture),î he said. ěWe visited castles.î He also helped his wife in researching medieval recipes for a cookbook she wrote in 1998 called A Boke of Cookry. ěWe try not to do any new thing until we research it,î said Shell. And by the looks of the medieval gardens with culinary herbs, the handmade windows, the handmade tables, the heavy wrought-iron hinged door, itís evident that time travel to a distant world is possible at the Camlann Medieval Village.
At the terrible Battle of Camlann...Medraut and Arthur searched until they discovered one another. Then these two grim warriors fought one last duel. Arthur slew Medraut, but in so doing received his own mortal wound...
For further information, call 425.788.8624 or visit www.camlann.com. Reservations for dinner are recommended.

Councilman Tyler Shuff is running on a platform of economic development and improvement of the city's parks and safety services in his campaign for re-election as Tiffin City Council at-large representative.
Shuff filled an unexpired term in 2008 and ran unopposed in the election a year later. He is the property manager for Tiffin Community Reinvestment Group.
He said he would like to focus on creating more economic opportunities and promote more economic growth in Tiffin.

"I want to see (Tiffin) a very business-aggressive place. I love the economic development we have going on downtown," he said.
Shuff said he also would like to focus on improving the city's infrastructure and safety services.
"I think as an elected official, safety services is one of our top priorities," he said.
He said that when he joined council, they had to cut funding for four or five years but still maintained the city.
"We did it with very minimal layoffs. We were able to take certain positions and combine them together to save taxpayer dollars," he said.
As head of the Personnel and Labor Committee, Shuff helped come up with ideas to increase the safety of the city, including block watch, the citizens' academy and the cadet program.
The cadet program allows individuals enrolled in the program to ride with police, learn about the town and work within neighborhoods.
"It saves the city money and it also helps us to train police officers," he said. "It's a way of putting two or three more police officers on the street at no cost to the taxpayers. (The cadets) are almost getting a free internship."
Shuff also wants to focus on improving Tiffin's parks and recreation. He said he has created blueprints for a 9.6-mile, all-purpose trail around Tiffin. Shuff said he is working on finding grant money to fund the project.
He also said he would like to use the $2 million budget carryover to improve the city's infrastructure and the city parks, including adding an internship program.
He said his creativity and imagination have brought fresh ideas to council, and that through communication, he is able to give all individuals the same amount of respect.
"I'm going to give you the same amount of respect, I'm going to hear your concerns," he said. "I don't consider myself a politician. I consider myself a public servant."

Northumbria Police is giving young people the opportunity to join the force as recruitment for police cadets is opened.
The police cadet scheme is a four year scheme that gives participants the opportunity to see what it is like to be a police officer. Those who take part in the scheme gain great skills and experience, helping to develop their future prospects.
Cadets provide invaluable support to policing teams across the force, from assisting at community events, taking part in crime prevention initiatives and carrying out online meetings to find out what concerns the community.
Assistant Chief Constable Jo Farrell said: "The cadet scheme is a fantastic way for young people to gain skills and experience they may not otherwise have the opportunity to.
"The four-year scheme sees young people see what it is like to be a police officer and be involved in the work police officers do as well as work towards the Duke of Edinburgh award.
"Northumbria Police covers a vast area made up of diverse communities and we want to hear from young people from all sorts of backgrounds as they will all have something they can bring to the team and hopefully also find it incredibly rewarding."
The types of activities cadets get involved include first aid; taking part in crime prevention initiatives; working towards the Duke of Edinburgh Award; team building activities; fundraising and going on patrol for a night-shift.
More information about the scheme and how to apply is available the Northumbria Police website www.northumbria.police.uk

Now that Jerry Sandusky is behind bars, some outraged people across the country want to see the Penn State football program punished for the way Joe Paterno and other school officials handled the child sex abuse scandal.
One source very familiar with how the NCAA operates told the Mirror he doesn't believe the governing body should or will levy sanctions against the Nittany Lion football program. Doing so, he said, would venture outside the scope of the NCAA's jurisdiction.
"I don't think this is an area that the NCAA can encroach in," said Ohio University assistant professor David Ridpath, one of the nation's foremost experts on NCAA compliance issues.
"If they do, then they've opened themselves up to really being much more of a different governing body," he said.
The NCAA has been monitoring the Penn State case since November, when NCAA President Mark Emmert sent the school a letter addressing potential rules violations. But when all is said and done, Ridpath noted, "I don't anticipate anything happening" to the football program.
"I understand the groundswell of people wanting [PSU to be punished], but really, NCAA bylaws are more around competitive advantage and competitive equity issues," Ridpath said.
Fact Box
Rules of engagement
These specific rules were mentioned as points of interest in NCAA President Mark Emmert's letter to Penn State President Rodney Erickson in November.
Article 2.1: The principle of institutional control and responsibility -- This outlines that "it is the responsibility of each member institution to control its intercollegiate athletics program in compliance with the rules and regulations of the Association. The institution's president or chancellor is responsible for the administration of all aspects of the athletics program. ... The institution's responsibility for the conduct of its intercollegiate athletics program includes responsibility for the actions of its staff members and for the actions of any other individual or organization engaged in activities promoting the athletics interests of the institution."
Article 2.4: The principle of sportsmanship and ethical conduct -- This states that intercollegiate athletics should "promote the character development of participants, to enhance the integrity of higher education and to promote civility in society, student-athletes, coaches, and all others associated with these athletics programs and events should adhere to such fundamental values as respect, fairness, civility, honesty and responsibility."
Articles 6.01.1 and 6.4: General principle of institutional control (6.01.1); and Responsibility for actions of outside entities (6.4).
Bylaw 10.01.1: Ethical conduct, general principle of honesty and sportsmanship.
Bylaw 10.1: Unethical conduct -- "Unethical conduct by a prospective or enrolled student-athlete or a current or former institutional staff member, which includes any individual who performs work for the institution or the athletics department even if he or she does not receive compensation for such work, may include, but is not limited to" followed by a list of 10 possible situations. In Emmert's letter to PSU, it specifically mentions, with the words italicized, "is not limited to" just the 10 scenarios listed in the manual.
Bylaws 11.1.1 and 184.108.40.206: Conducts of athletics personnel with regards to honesty and sportsmanship (11.1.1); and Responsibility of head coach (18.104.22.168) -- The head coach bylaw states, "It shall be the responsibility of an institution's head coach to promote an atmosphere for compliance within the program supervised by the coach and to monitor the activities regarding compliance of all assistant coaches and other administrators involved with the program who report directly or indirectly to the coach."
Bylaw 19.01.2: General principles of exemplary conduct.
Source: NCAA 2011-12 Division I Manual
The NCAA Division I manual is 439 pages full of constitutional articles and bylaws, and while some of the rules and regulations are straightforward, others are more ambiguous and open to interpretation.
For Penn State's football program, interpretation is the key word. Sanctions could be levied on the Nittany Lions if the NCAA concludes school officials broke rules in the following areas:
The NCAA would be setting a precedent if it were to levy major sanctions against Penn State based only on those issues.
Article Links
"It's really hard to know what an allegation in this particular case would look like," said Mark Jones, a collegiate sports attorney for Ice Miller LLP in Indianapolis who worked with the NCAA for 18 years and was managing director of enforcement when he left in 2004.
"For unethical conduct, traditionally that's a finding that's made that impacts an individual. It's not as much an institutional violation. ... By and large, institutional control has been finding when an institution has had some underlying problem that has been an NCAA rules violation in the operating bylaws that impact competitive equity on some level."
The NCAA did not respond to a message from the Mirror concerning its investigation into the Penn State case. Also, a Penn State spokesman wrote in an email to the Mirror that "the university has no comment on any investigations at this time."
Some national pundits have suggested the "death penalty" for the Penn State football program, meaning it would be shut down entirely for one year. Jones doesn't believe that is "in any way a likelihood," but he added that theoretically the NCAA does have the power to levy that dreaded penalty.
"It's a sanction that's available to the committee on infractions if they make a major finding," Jones said. "You don't have to be a repeat violator for that sanction to happen. But I have no sense whatsoever that that would be imposed."
Ridpath said the NCAA "can barely take care of the rules they have now" and added it would be a mistake for the governing body to try and extend its reach to cases involving criminal matters.
"There are criminal activities going on on college campuses every day - and certainly athletics - that we can blame theoretically on the coaches or on the athletic director or whomever," Ridpath said. "I just think we're going down the wrong path [to start levying sanctions in those issues]."
There is an additional area of concern, Ridpath said, aside from the Sandusky scandal that potentially could lead to NCAA sanctions for Penn State. Right now the case is considered a criminal matter, but things could be viewed differently if the Louis Freeh report or other investigations turn up infractions that have never been reported.
For instance, if evidence is uncovered that Paterno made or influenced decisions in order to benefit the football program in a specific way, then Ridpath said the NCAA could get involved.
One area the Freeh investigators have been digging into, according to various media outlets, has been whether Paterno used his influence to interfere with Penn State's internal disciplinary process when it came to football players.
"If there's something that I believe that maybe the NCAA can look at, it would be the issue of Joe Paterno trying to minimize punishment for players," Ridpath said. "That could potentially be an extra benefit issue."

Ensuring that Charleston Harbor is deepened to accommodate larger vessels is a high priority for South Carolina's newest member of Congress, the recently elected federal lawmaker said Monday after being briefed on the issue.
U.S. Rep. Mark Sanford met with State Ports Authority officials privately in Charleston, just days after being sworn in to fill the vacant 1st Congressional District seat.
The hour-long meeting, which was closed to media, was described as an informational session about the state's port operations. Sanford, a Republican, said one of the topics was the proposed deepening of Charleston's shipping channel from to 50 feet from 45.
"From a mechanics standpoint, I wanted to see where things stood," the former South Carolina governor said after the briefing.
The fate of the harbor deepening is in the hands of the Army Corps of Engineers, which is studying the feasibility of such as project and is scheduled to make its recommendation to Congress in 2015. Several ports along the East and Gulf coasts are competing for federal dollars to deepen their shipping channels to accommodate larger, heavier ships that will be able to travel through the Panama Canal once it is expanded in about two years.
Sanford's meeting comes just days after the U.S. Senate approved extending a water-resources law, which calls for investments in port improvements and flood protection. The bill is now making its way through the House of Representatives.
The Water Resources Development Act funds more than 20 Army Corps projects, including several port-improvement projects tied to the widening of the Panama Canal. The bill also ensures more money in the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund, which is financed by user fees, goes toward harbor improvements rather than other federal projects unrelated to ports.
Sanford is the latest in a line of elected officials who have touted the importance of dredging the harbor. That list includes President Barack Obama, who on Friday spoke about the need to speed up the approval of infrastructure projects. He specifically cited Charleston Harbor.
Last summer, the Obama administration included Charleston as part of its "We Can't Wait" initiative to help speed up dredging projects.
Earlier this month, U.S. Rep. Bill Shuster, chairman of the House Committee on Transportation & Infrastructure, toured the Port of Charleston and spoke about the need to change policy for funding port-deepening projects.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

A U.S. court of appeals has struck down the Environmental Protection Agency's latest regulation of America's coal industry.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruled 2-1 Tuesday that the agency overstepped its legal authority with the cross-state air pollution policy. The rule sought to limit dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions from power plants in 29 states.
Coal miners consider the ruling a win for their industry, which has struggled to get investor support for new technology that could help pave the way toward energy independence for the United States.
"It's got a long history and people rely on that history to refer to it as a dirty fossil fuel, and you do. You get your hands black when you touch it, and it's dusty," West Virginia Coal Association President Bill Raney said.
"But we've learned how to control the dust and you know we're getting better every day at that," he added.
In West Virginia, developers of the Adams Fork Energy Plant say converting coal into liquid fuel could ultimately help lower rising gas prices.
Their goal is to produce 250 million gallons of methanol that could also be used for gas, jet fuel, diesel fuel, and more.
Republican Sen. James Inhofe, a vocal opponent of the EPA, applauded the ruling.
"The Obama-EPA continues to demonstrate that it will stop at nothing in its determination to kill coal," Reuters quoted the Oklahoma lawmaker. "With so much economic pain in store, it is fortunate that EPA [regulation] was sent back to the drawing board."

Official Title: A Phase I/II Study of First Line Gemcitabine, Cisplatin and MEK162 in Advanced Biliary Tract Carcinoma
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to test an investigational combination of drugs for bile duct or gallbladder cancers. Gemcitabine and cisplatin are two forms of chemotherapy commonly used in combination to treat bile duct and gallbladder cancers. The investigators are looking to improve treatment results. They will attempt to do so by adding the drug MEK162 to the treatment plan. MEK162 acts by blocking a protein called MEK 1/2 which helps cancer cells grow and divide. This study will help answer the question of whether MEK162 is a helpful drug in patients with bile duct or gallbladder cancers when given with gemcitabine and cisplatin.

The often wet, smelly substance that leaks from a garbage truck while it is compacting a fresh load, usually right next to your car door, allowing you to inadvertently walk right through it, dragging the stench into the car with you with no way to remove it
When I got into my car and started driving, a smell stared to emanate from my feet. I just then remember hearing the garbage truck this morning; I must have stepped in its garbujules.

What are you most proud of? That it was finished. It took about 6 months, and I had to abandon the Krenick metallic thread partway through because it was unworkable and unusable.
What advice would you give someone starting this project? If I had to do it again, I would switch to Aida (this is one of the projects that made me swear off linen!) and ditch the Krenick - it smells funny, keeps breaking and is not worth the hassle! I have put it Advanced because it's large, fiddly, on Linen and with strange threads
Kreinik is easier to work if you use Thread Heaven did you try this?
Thread heaven is what is described as Thread conditioner and protectant You draw the thread through the thread heaven then pull between your fingers and this makes a static charge which prevents tangling and fraying Wonderful stuff

What is it? VW rolled out the Touareg Hybrid to showcase the line's next generation. It uses a supercharged V6 engine, which, when combined with a 47-hp electric motor, will give the Touareg Hybrid 380 hp, for acceleration that should be blistering. An eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel-drive are standard. The Touareg hybrid will use a nickel metal hydride battery pack and can VW says it can drive up to 30 mph on electric power alone. Perhaps most significantly, the new Touareg reportedly weighs a whopping 400 pounds less than the outgoing model. VW claims an overall fuel economy of 26 mpg.
What's new or notable? The Touareg Hybrid will use a new type of full hybrid system that disengages the gas engine for electric operation and shuts the engine off for coasting. Volkswagen says this will provide it with a "seamless" driving experience similar to a conventional car.
When will it be available? The regular Touareg will go on sale in the fall of 2010, with the hybrid following a few months later.

The End of Big Ten Exceptionalism
Exceptionalism is a tricky proposition. Those that believe in it must not have any qualms about being labeled a blowhard. Those that don't believe in it typically find the blowhards insufferable. It's not easy to hold yourself up and say "We're different," but the Big Ten did that for years.
The addition of Rutgers and Maryland this week may finally be bringing that era to an end.[ad 6]
It wasn't until 1972 that the Big Ten did away with its bizarre "no-repeat" rule that prevented legitimate conference champions from going to the Rose Bowl in back-to-back years. Winning wasn't everything.
When the Big 8 and SEC expanded in the 1990s and created big money championship games, the Big Ten quietly added Penn State, a lonely independent who ruled the east. The conference was then content to stay at 11 teams and forego the big television revenue it certainly would have commanded if it just added another team. Money wasn't everything.
The Big Ten, as well as the Pac-10, fought for the tradition of the Rose Bowl while the rest of college football was trying to move towards a de facto national title game, first with the Bowl Coalition and then with its successor, the Bowl Alliance. Nebraska and Michigan have a split 1997 national title to show for it. The conference eventually relaxed it's Rose Bowl tie-ins, paving the way for the Bowl Championship Series, but the message was clear. Tradition mattered. Competition wasn't everything.
These weren't easy places to be in the evolution of college football, but the Big Ten held on fiercely to its own sense of athletic and academic morality. The popular perception was that it started to cost the conference on the field in the 2000s. When Ohio State was beaten badly in back-to-back national titles games in 2006 and 2007 it was held up as physical proof that the stodgy, old-fashioned Big Ten was losing ground to its more progressive neighbors.
So the nation's oldest major athletic conference got progressive. It created the Big Ten Network in 2006 and many football fans outside of the conference footprint laughed. Who wants to watch that? Turns out, a lot of Big Ten fans and alumni did and the conference suddenly had the single biggest bargaining chip in all of college football.
It was an exceptional move. It led to the addition of Nebraska in 2011, a move that set the dominoes in motion for the great conference realignment of recent years. The Big Ten suddenly was the model and every other conference was scrambling to replicate it. The Pac-10 made sensible additions in Utah and Colorado and created its own network. The SEC, the most powerful conference on the field, grabbed Missouri and Texas A&M. The Big 12 had to go way outside its conference footprint and against its initial wishes to grab, respectively, West Virginia and TCU. The ACC and Big East fought for the remaining scraps.
The irony of Nebraska's move to the Big Ten was that it was based almost entirely on being a "good cultural fit." (Having the fourth-most wins in the history of college football being a large part of that culture.) Nebraska didn't offer access to millions of television sets but it sent every other conference scurrying to get them so their own in-house networks would have the most appeal. It was a bold decision and, for now at least, it might go down as the last such decision for the Big Ten.
And that's the strange thing about the addition of Maryland and Rutgers, two fine institutions with historically less than fine football. It was a reactionary move. It says that, even in the Big Ten, football and "fit" don't matter as much today as television access does. Maryland and Rutgers, on paper, offer the Big Ten access to the New York City and Washington D.C. markets. That's what matters and the Big Ten, today, is as powerful as ever.
But it's no longer different. Everything comes with a cost.
That's not such a bad thing. As a writer covering Nebraska football, I'll admit that I always found the "Big Ten Exceptionalism" a little off-putting when viewed from the outside. I'll also admit that once on the inside, it was easy to get sucked in to the allure of belonging to the club.
That's how exceptionalism works. It's intoxicating on the inside, infuriating on the outside.
Thankfully, with the addition of Maryland and Rutgers, it's now gone. As bad as blatant money-grabbing college football may seem, at least it's honest in its intentions.

It's one of life's great ironies. Sex brings about babies, which, in many cases, sucks the sex life out of even the most passionate couples. Suddenly man and wife turn into little more than Mom and Dad, negotiating their way through a sleep-deprived maze of burp cloths, onesies and those plastic, round dealies with the needle nose that suck baby boogers out of junior's nose.
Sound familiar? Odds are it probably does.
At least according to a study conducted by the University of Denver. It reported that 90% of new parents aren't as satisfied with their relationship as they once were. Baby Talk Magazine conducted a survey which revealed that only 24% of new parents are satisfied with their sex lives.
But the people at Good in Bed want to change that. They just published the e-book, Sex and the Baby Years, by Dr. Hilda Hutcherson, OBGYN, which is designed to help couples "babyproof their relationships." They're allowing their readers to download the book for free through the end of the month thanks to help from the friendly folks at K-Y Brand, who, as you may know, make jelly. Only not the kind for your peanut butter.
But I digress. I learned of the book thanks to an article Dr. Ian Kerner wrote for CNN's "The Chart." Dr. Kerner, himself, offers up five helpful hints in staying on top (or on bottom, if you prefer) of your post-baby sex life. But before he gets to them, he helps explain why it is that so many couples fall into a relatively sex-free trap after having a child.
Dr. Kerner says the falloff is largely thanks to men becoming second fiddle to their baby. He writes: "As Freud defined it, "eros" is a life-force that motivates us to create and to love, and for many mothers, the energy that goes into doting-on, dressing, feeding, fawning and coddling a baby is a powerful expression of an intimacy that knows no bounds. Meanwhile, Dad often feels likes a third-wheel."
But that wheel, he contends, must keep on rolling. "My No. 1 advice to dads is: DON'T GIVE UP ON SEX." He points out that a mom giving all of her affection to their baby while saving none of it for her husband is not a healthy thing. "With the fight for sex," he argues, "new dads actually perform a vital relationship function, which is to bring their partner back into the relationship and restore the primacy of their couple-hood: a crucial necessity if they're to flourish and succeed as a family." He uses the metaphor of emergency landing procedures on commercial airlines. Adults are to put the oxygen mask on themselves before they are to put them on their children, because in order to give kids the attention they need, parents must first make sure they're functioning properly.
Dr. Kerner seems to place most of the "blame" for sexlessness on the moms, while putting most of the burden for getting back on track, if you will, on the dads. While such a perspective struck me as a bit narrow in scope (if not a touch outdated), I also believe that there's a lot of truth to much of what Dr. Kerner is saying. Particularly with his airplane metaphor.
Caroline and I call it the trickle down theory. We believe that to be the best parents we can be, we have to put our needs first, even above those of our children. In so doing, we'll be happy and healthy which will trickle down to our entire family. If we do it the other way, we may gradually grow apart. Always putting our kids first, we believe, will result in our children winning the battle, so to speak, but ultimately losing the war.
But what do we know? We're not relationship experts. But Dr. Kerner is. So, without further ado, here are his five tips as seen on his CNN post.
- Date night. You gotta have them. Everyone knows it, but everyone also lets it get away from time to time.
- "Re-channel non-sexual intimacy outside the bedroom into your relationship." Translation? Huge more. Give each other more kisses on the cheek. Hold hands. Snuggle on the couch when you're watching TV. Such activity greatly increases levels of the "cuddle hormone," oxytocin, and that's a good thing.
- Don't allow co-sleeping. Okay, I'm definitely not up for a huge A.P. debate here. Like most things, there are aspects of A.P. that really work well for me, and there are aspects which don't work that well for me. Though many people whom I like, respect and admire are into co-sleeping, I am would not ever want to sleep with babies. Kerner points out that doing so makes having sex logistically difficult. He also believes that having children in the bed fails to give parents the intimacy and separation they need to put one another first.
- Kerner encourages moms to re-discover their "sense of sexual self esteem." If a woman is having a hard time feeling sexy as a mom, he hopes she'll let her partner know what he can do to help.
- Have sex! That's right. Have sex. Even if you aren't completely feeling it, pull a Nike. Just do it. "Sex begets sex," he argues. Once you start having it, odds are you'll keep having it. But once you stop? You may be setting yourself up for disaster.
As new parents, it's natural to want to dote on our babies and take care of their every last need, stopping the world to do just that, if necessary. But Kerener's article is a wonderful reminder that children will be happiest when they are part of a happy and healthy family. To do that, the parents have to be right. And sex is a big part of that equation.
Don't you think? Have you experienced the post-baby slump?

She was in and then out and then back in again. Now New Jersey Assemblywoman Gabriela Mosquera is back on the campaign trail.
Eight months after the New Jersey Supreme Court overturned her 2011 victory in the Fourth District but allowed her to hold the seat until a new election could be held, the Democrat is facing off in a special election against the woman she beat last time, Republican former Gloucester Township Councilwoman Shelley Lovett.
One of only three legislative races in what is an off-year for New Jersey elections, the race so far has attracted little attention and is a long way from last year's go-for-broke campaign. Back then, Mosquera's camp ran steady television ads bashing Lovett's record - among other things, for having raised the fees on pet licenses in suburban Gloucester.

NEWARK — The pair of limestone lions gracing the Music Court in Branch Brook Park for more than 50 years were lifted off their concrete lairs this morning and trucked to a Pennsylvania workshop.
Conservationists there will restore the two sculptures, based on archival notes and photographs. The cats are expected back in the Essex County park by summer.
Crafted by sculptor Karl Ritter from Indiana limestone around the turn of the 20th century, the 8-foot-high lions guarded the castle-like Prudential buildings at Broad and Bank streets from 1901 until the buildings were demolished, in 1956. They were then donated to the county's park commission.
The 3,000-pound cats, sculpted with teeth bared, have stood sentinel each on one end of the court's broad staircase since 1959.
Since then, the stone lions have taken a pummeling from the weather and from over-eager observers.
Portions of their claws, tails and tongues have gone missing. A coat of paint, meant to protect the limestone, has peeled and flaked. Parts of their feline form are spotted with moss. The lions also bare a few graffiti marks.
"They've been abused over the years, so it's time for a little TLC," said T. Scott Kreilick, whose conservation firm is overseeing the work.
After being wedged off their concrete pedestals on the cold, blustery morning, the lions were wrapped in moving tarps, strapped to chains and airlifted onto reinforced wood pallets. They were to be transported by flatbed truck to a studio in West Philadelphia, Pa.
There, sculptor Pavel Efremoff and a team conservators will refurbish the carvings. "We'll make sure the stone matches the tone and texture" of the original, Kreilick said.
When they are brought back, it's expected they will be renamed for Prudential's former CEO, Arthur F. Ryan, and his wife, Patricia Ryan, co-chairwoman of the Branch Brook Park Alliance, who donated $1 million in 2008 for repairs at the 359-acre county park, located in Newark and Belleville

What is in this article?:
- Isaac bears down as Louisiana producers scramble
- Louisiana cotton
- Sugarcane harvest
- Just upgraded to hurricane status and about six hours from hitting Louisiana's coast, Isaac has chased over 500 evacuees seeking shelter to the LSU AgCenter's Dean Lee Research Station in Alexandria.
- "We're hoping not to get slammed too hard," says Boyd Padgett, LSU AgCenter regional director. "We've had a lot more rain than we've come to expect in recent years. August has been very wet here. We don't need any more from Isaac."
Louisiana cotton
As for Louisiana's cotton, "we can expect that the winds and torrential rains from the storm may cause some or even extensive injury," reports John Kruse, LSU AgCenter cotton and feedgrain specialist (full report here). "The high, sustained wind speeds in particular will leave the leaves wrinkled and injured."
Further, writes Kruse, "Some cotton fields will be physically flattened or pushed over, but we hope that many of the plants will eventually stand back up. However, defoliation strategies may require aerial applications instead of ground rigs to prevent mechanical damage. … The best defoliation strategy at this point is to wait out the storm and let the leaves on the plant protect the cotton from the winds as best it can. Inspect the crop after the storm and make the appropriate plans."
Soybeans are being harvested around the state, says Padgett. One thing for producers to be vigilant about is the spread of soybean rust. "We have soybean rust on the (Dean Lee) station and it's pretty heavy in some varieties, especially the 5s. The Group 4s are pretty much done – there is plenty of harvesting of those going on.
"There have been some requests from growers about what they need to treat with for rust. So, it's definitely out there – but it isn't to the point where growers are panicking."
For more rust information, see here.
"We've seen a lot of cercospora blight in our beans, this year.
"The crop is typically good. Yesterday, a consultant told me they had a bean field averaging over 80 bushels. On top of that, the beans look like seed beans – awesome yield and awesome quality."
What about Louisiana's sugarcane crop?
Reached in Buenos Ares, Argentina, Ben Legendre, director of the Audubon Sugar Institute, has been "looking at the cane crop in the north of the country. I'm trying to get home tomorrow (Wednesday) but all flights have been cancelled into Louisiana."
When he left for Argentina 10 days ago, Louisiana "had one of the tallest crops we've had in 10, maybe 20, years," says Legendre. "With any major rains or winds, it will cause the cane to lodge badly. How much breaks will depend on the wind intensity."
Legendre worries about the hurricane's eye moving across a significant portion of the cane crop. "What can happen is the wind will knock the cane down in one direction. Then, as the eye passes, the wind will shift to a different direction. That causes breakage of tops.
"Right now, the majority of the cane crop looks like it will be on the western side of the storm. That means most likely there will be northerly winds. That being the case, I'm sure cane will be lodged."
Heading even farther west towards Lafayette, "the cane won't be lodged nearly as bad because the hurricane isn't that strong. Regardless, any cane within 50 to 60 miles of the eye will see considerable lodging."

A five-mile section of the Pennsylvania Turnpike will be closed in both directions between the Harrisburg East Interchange (No. 247) and the Harrisburg West Interchange (No. 242) from 12:01 a.m. through 6 a.m. on Sunday.
The closure is needed to safely allow crews to remove the overhead bridge beams on the Old York Road Bridge at milepost 243.2 in Fairview Township, York County.
The recommended detour for motorists traveling westbound is Interstate 283 (I-283) to Interstate 83 (I-83) to the Turnpike. Eastbound motorists should take I-83 to I-283 to get to the Turnpike.
Alternate-route cards will be available to travelers at Harrisburg East and Harrisburg West interchanges during the closure.
This work is part of the total reconstruction and widening of the Turnpike mainline to three lanes in each direction from milepost 242 to milepost 245. The project will result in an all-new highway facility built to modern design and construction standards. The expected completion date is the fall of 2016 at a cost of nearly $75 million.
