A Walterboro man was arrested after a car was peppered with bullets Friday.
Two Walterboro houses were also shot up Saturday and Sunday.
Police went to Gruber and Lewis streets about 8:30 a.m. Friday to check out a report of shots fired. A 21-year-old Walterboro man told police he was headed south on Lewis Street in a light blue 2000 Ford Crown Victoria when Shar-ron Maurice Jenkins, 28, drove by and fired at him from a blue Cadillac, according to the incident report.
Officers found several 9 mm shell casings in the road, and the Crown Victoria was struck multiple times, according to the report.
Jenkins surrendered to police and was charged with attempted murder, discharging a firearm within city limits, malicious damage to a vehicle, unlawful carrying of a pistol, possession of a firearm in commission of a violent felony and pointing a firearm.
Police also were called to 118 Sharon Drive about 10:30 p.m. Saturday. A woman said she was standing in the doorway and saw a car pull off the road and then several shots were fired.
Bullets went through the door into walls inside the house, and two cars were also hit, according to the report.
Police were called to 307 Breland St. about 11:30 a.m. Sunday for another report of shots fired.
A woman said somebody fired into her front door and living room window. Officers collected evidence from the scene, including six .40-caliber shell casings from the street, according to the report. A witness reported seeing a dark purple car near the house.

text: The YQM-98A was designed in 1973 for an Air Force competition to select a drone for high altitude signals intelligence. Both the YQM-98A and the Boeing designed YQM-94A began testing in 1974. During the tests the Teledyne drone set what was then a record for unmanned, unrefueled flight duration with a time of 28 hours 11 minutes and 12 seconds. Despite this and the fact that the YQM-98A had actually out performed the YQM-94A, Boeing was awarded the contract. This became a moot point however in 1977 when the entire program was canceled.

Issue #275
There's finding a silver lining, making lemonade when life gives you lemons, and then there's just being spectacularly, insanely misguided. And that's where conservatives in the House of Representatives seem to have ended up over the past weeks as Congress has debated the economic recovery package.
President Obama made a full-court press for bipartisan support of the economic recovery package, spending hours with Republican leaders and the rank-and-file, having them over for cocktails, and even extending a much-coveted invite to watch the Super Bowl at the White House.
It seems, however, that this charm offensive and the substantive legislative concessions that followed were no match for some old-fashioned partisan grandstanding on the part of House Republican leaders. Indeed, it emerged that just a couple hours BEFORE President Obama made his much-discussed trip to the Capitol, Minority Leader John Boehner and Minority Whip Eric Cantor (who admits -- in public -- that he is modeling himself after Newt Gingrich) decreed that every single member of their caucus should vote against the economic recovery bill. And, as the media reminded us ad nauseum, both the House version and the final compromise passed the House without a single Republican vote.
(White House photos show House Republicans were eager for one thing -- Obama's autograph.)
This is where things really go off the rails. Just after the vote, Cantor posted a web video set to the tune of Aerosmith's "Back in the Saddle" that touted the united House GOP opposition to the "wasteful spending bill" that, according to the video, included "$1 billion for ACORN" (why let the truth be an obstacle when a bogeyman suits you better) and "$300 million for new [fuel-efficient, American-made] cars for government workers" (because lord knows the auto industry is doing just fine and why should we replace gas guzzlers with better cars to save taxpayers money and cut emissions anyway).
Who would have thought the best way to demonstrate your power as group is to remind people that even when every single member of your group remained united in opposition and shouted from the rooftops (with considerable help from the media) for days about it, you still had no real impact and were totally unable to stop it? A truly shining accomplishment if there ever was one.
(The video was taken down just days later after Aerosmith sent a cease-and-desist letter because Cantor hadn't actually bothered to secure the rights to use the song. You'd think Cantor would be more careful with the YouTubes, given other recent difficulties.)
While the media tried to make us -- especially those of us living here in the Beltway bubble -- believe that Obama was somehow mortally wounded by the recovery debate, the American public appears to have come to an altogether different conclusion. A Gallup poll taken just before the final vote pegged the public's approval of Obama's handling of the recovery package at 67 percent. Congressional Democrats received the approval of 48 percent; meanwhile, a whopping 58 percent disapproved of how Congressional Republicans were handling themselves. Similarly, 68 percent say President Obama is doing either enough or even too much to cooperate with the minority in Congress, while 64 percent say the minority hasn't done enough to cooperate with him. The vast majority of Americans also give President Obama very high marks for his overall leadership and handling of the economy.
Meanwhile, Republican Rep. Joseph Cao of Louisiana, who Minority Leader John Boehner once touted as the "future" of the party, is now facing a recall from his constituents after voting against the recovery package twice -- after saying he'd vote for it. Oops.

COLUMBIA -- A couple of state Democrats want to can Gov. Nikki Haley's "It's a great day in South Carolina" greeting for making bureaucrats out to be pollyannas.
The Republican governor's widely parodied idea to market South Carolina with a cheery greeting would be outlawed under a bill by Reps. Wendell Gilliard of Charleston and John King of Rock Hill.
"My feelings on that are, why would you want to say, 'It's a great day in South Carolina,' when we're still in double-digit unemployment, people are still losing their homes, the homeless population in the state of South Carolina is still on the increase?" Gilliard said.
Haley, saying that some might find the idea "hokey," asked government workers two months ago to replace ho-hum phone etiquette with a little pick-me-up for callers. It would help customer service, she said then.
On Wednesday, Haley questioned why The Post and Courier would bother writing about such a thing.
"Out of all of the legislation proposed and all of the agenda items that we are working on related to jobs and the economy, is this really the bill that your news outlet thinks the people care about?" she said in an email.
King said the bill is important enough to his constituents. They told him that they don't want to hear a state worker tell them what a great day it is when they're calling the state Department of Health and Environmental Control to get a loved one's death certificate or dialing the S.C. Works office for help finding a job.
"Sometimes it's not a great day in their lives," King said.

DD is only 2, but I am thinking ahead to next year:-) I think I would like to enroll her in a 3 half day a week preschool to help with socializing, following directions etc. I am a sahm so DD and I do everything together, and I think that some time around other adults would probably be good for her as well. So I am just wondering:
How old was your child when you tried a preschool type program for the first time?
What type of preschool did you use? (Montessori, religous, public, co-op) Any benefits you saw for that type of school?
I am trying to sort through the different schools in the area, there are so many choices, and a lot require applying 6ish months in advance so I guess it is time to start thinking about it. Thanks!

Relativizacija? Ne, cinjenica.
Carol Stewart
Just goes to show... always, ALWAYS trust your instinct when it comes to your kids' health and demand action. When one of my daughters was a few months old she contracted the rota virus. Initially her constant white diahorrea and listlessness was dismissed by a doctor at the end of a phone as 'just a bug she would get over and of course she was tired, it was 3am!' Also, according to him, a child of that age would take around 8 days to become dehydrated. Thank goodness, I knew better and got her to the hospital in time. A first time mum might well have heeded the doctor's advice. Professional? Really?
+1 not because I like to see this sort of thing, but because it is becoming more common. This is an unfortunate event which should have been easily prevented.
Unfortunately the trend these days is for doctors to be dispensers of drugs rather than treaters of disease. There are individual doctors who agree with this and those who don't. Still, when all medical school teaches is how to dispense drugs rather than to think there are bound to be problems.

Whatever way you look at it, the 2009-10 season for Liverpool has been a disappointment.
Following the excellent campaign last year which saw Liverpool amass a club record amount of Premier League points on their way to finish second, many fans, pundits, and professionals tipped the Merseyside club to go one better this season and finally win the league title once again.
It won't happen. At the time of writing, Liverpool find themselves in a battle not for the title, but for fourth place.
Having lost just twice throughout last season, Rafa Benitez's men have tasted defeat on eight occasions already in the current campaign.
Couple this with early exits from the FA Cup, Carling Cup, and the Champions League, and the word "disappointing" begins to look like an understatement of epic proportions.
In this slideshow, I will look at the five main reasons why Liverpool's supposed dream season has turned into such a nightmare.

TVO to Boost Output at Olkiluoto Nuclear Reactor in Finland
Teollisuuden Voima Oyj, Finland's biggest nuclear operator, is considering increasing output from its Olkiluoto reactors in 2017, bolstering Finland's energy independence.
The company may boost capacity at two 880-megawatt units in 2017, increasing net electricity output at the plant, Lauri Inna, a spokesman for the Helsinki-based power producer, said today by phone from the reactor site without providing further details.
The increase may support the nation's energy-intensive pulp, chemicals and basic metals industries, which contribute twice the European average to the economy, according to the International Energy Agency. Finland embraced nuclear power in the 1970s to cut its dependence on imports from the Soviet Union, because it lacks the oil and hydropower supplies of neighbors. Imports accounted for 16 percent of the nation's consumption in 2011, with 78 percent coming from Russia, according to the country's power industries association.
"It will be a natural step to assess whether a further, much bigger boost will be possible to implement in five years by modifying the reactor generators, something we've done twice in the past, on the condition however that we can maintain safety and high utilization rates," Inna said.
The company, co-owned by Finland's biggest utility, Fortum Oyj, operates two nuclear stations that supply 17 percent of the nation's demand. TVO raised installed capacity at the units by 20 megawatts each in 2010 and 2011 by investing 160 million euros ($206 million) into improving power turbines. It has a third atomic unit under construction, set to be the world's biggest and a fourth facility is planned.
Swedish Upgrades
The Nordic region's reactors, 10 in Sweden and four in Finland, which generate about 20 percent of the electricity used in the area, are all set to produce power on Dec. 3, resulting in the highest output since May 2005, when Sweden's Barsebaeck plant was decommissioned, according to Bloomberg calculations based on data from Svenska Kraftnaet AB, the Swedish grid operator.
Vattenfall AB, the Nordic region's biggest utility, has boosted capacity at its three Forsmark reactors to more than 1,000 megawatts each. The Olkiluoto plants were built by the same supplier, Sweden's Asea-Atom AB.
"It's not yet possible to say whether we can achieve the same kind of capacity in Olkiluoto," Inna said. "It remains to be seen when we've completed our pre-planning work for the possible upgrades."
The Olkiluoto stations are partly owned by paper makers UPM-Kymmene Oyj and Stora Enso Oyj, as well as municipal energy companies and industrial consumers.

I came up with the following dividend stocks list, using the followoing screen criteria:
1) Company has consistently increased dividends for more than 5 consecutive years
2) The P/E ratio is less than 20
3) The Dividend Payout Ratio does not exceed 50%
4) The dividend yield is equal to or higher than the dividend yield on the S&P 500
This screen selected 38 out of the 97 international dividend achievers in the index. You could check out the list from this link as well.
As usual this list is just a starting point. Before you leap into buying these stocks always check out at least the ten year financials trends in order to determine how your potential investment has performed over time. In addition to that try reading the annual reports but don't get caught up in recent developments which would prevent you from seeing the big picture.

Sydney Harbour's whale may be first of many
KERRY O'BRIEN: Back in the days when whaling ships roamed the world's oceans, the right whale earned its name because it was considered a prize catch.
Happily, these days we're more inclined to marvel at them than harpoon them.
For almost a week, the people of Sydney have been enthralled by the rare sight of a southern right whale in their harbour.
Nicknamed Alex, the giant mammal has been meandering around the harbour, slipping in and out of ferry routes, oblivious to the fuss it's caused.
And while Alex might have no ambivalence about its gender, whale watchers have been somewhat confused in their assessments, as the theories have developed over why it's adopted one of the world's busiest harbours.
Philippa McDonald reports.
GIRL: I see steam.
SECOND GIRL: I see the steam too.
GIRL: It's huge.
I've never seen a whale before and it's really, really exciting.
WOMAN: It's just so exciting. It has been jumping right out of the water.
It's fantastic. I've never seen anything like it.
PHILIPPA MCDONALD: It's the sight that's transfixed Sydneysiders, a rare visit by a southern right whale which has spent the past six days frolicking in the ha rbour.
DR STEPHEN BURNELL, WHALE EXPERT: Most whales don't come to sort of highly urbanised places like this with a lot of vessel traffic.
I've just come from the head of the Bight literally three weeks ago, where there was 80 right whales.
But there's something really exciting about seeing a whale in the harbour with so many people getting to enjoy it.
PHILIPPA MCDONALD: The whale, now referred to as Alex, is being protected by National Parks and Wildlife around the clock.
Anyone coming within 100 metres of the whale risks thousands of dollars in fines.
GEOFF ROSS, NATIONAL PARKS AND WILDLIFE: If we leave them alone, they'll gradually come back more and more and more people will be able to see these ani mals.
PHILIPPA MCDONALD: National Parks claim it's as much for people's sake as it is for the whales.
GEOFF ROSS: Whales can, indirectly cause a lot of damage if they come into contact with a human body, of course.
They're 40,000 kilograms. So, that's a lot of weight to be swinging around.
Even though they are extremely well controlled animals and extremely safe, an accident can happen.
PHILIPPA MCDONALD: It's six years since Sydney has been treated to a visit by a southern right whale.
Last time locals were delighted by the spectacle of a female calving not far from the entrance to our busiest harbour.
Today, Australia's leading right whale expert was called in to check whether Alex might just do the same.
Girl or boy?
DR STEPHEN BURNELL: I can't tell you.
PHILIPPA MCDONALD: Can't tell?
DR STEPHEN BURNELL: I need to see the ventrils, the underside of the whale. If I could see that, I could tell you straightaway.
At the moment I haven't seen it.
PHILIPPA MCDONALD: So, how are you going to go about seeing the ventrils?
DR STEPHEN BURNELL: It needs to roll.
PHILIPPA MCDONALD: Steve Burnell has observed hundreds of southern right whales.
While he may be unsure if Alex is a girl or a boy, he says the whale appears to be in good condition apart from a slight tail injury, and may just be taking a look around.
DR STEPHEN BURNELL: This is probably a sub-adult southern right whale, about 12m or 13m long.
They tend to be the most inquisitive, they explore their habitat, they come into enclosed bays and harbours.
PHILIPPA MCDONALD: Southern right whales are most commonly found in the Great Australian Bight, but with their numbers on the increase, Steve Burnell believes Alex may be the first of a new wave of visitors to the harbour city.
DR STEPHEN BURNELL: So it may not be such a rare occurrence to see a right whale within Sydney Harbour in say 10 or 20 years.
We might be getting them each year.
Certainly, if we look after them and don't harass them while they're here, there's a good possibility of that.
KERRY O'BRIEN: And hopefully Sydney won't have a monopoly on them either.

2004 Toyota Camry Solara Convertible SE V6 2dr Convertible (3.3L 6cyl 5A)
Soft ride, comfortable seats, fair gas mileage, not a road racer, great looking, not costly to run or own, the ladies love it with the top down, large trunk space, easy low cost upkeep, always starts, quiet as a convertible can be, 10 second top up or down, interior build quality is excellent.
Quality convertible with great looks for not much money.
Make transmission shift without hesitation, always smooth and not a big deal but noticeable. Dampen the hood movement. (Hard to do in a drop top.)
I absolutley love my car.... fun to drive it's a looker have had numerous folks come to me and ask how i like it... It's my first toyota and i look forward to it's longevity...
The lower-end priced "family" convertible market (adequate back seat) is limited to a select few: the two usual suspects are the Chrysler Sebring and Volvo C70. When you drive each, you wonder how the front end stays put when you run over anything but a newly-paved road. The Volvo is the "prettiest" convertible out there. But that ride is so disappointing. Which brings us to the Toyota Camry Solara. I don't know why they include "Camry" in the name, since you won't find it anywhere on the car. It's comfy, roomy, zippy, gets decent gas mileage, and VERY quiet with the top up. It has some body quiver, which results from it being a sedan with the top cut off, after-market.
Cloth seats! A must for me on sunny, warm days, where leather (or usually vinyl or "pleather") seats baste me like a Thanksgiving turkey. The ride is pleasant! The gauge lights are nice at night. TOYOTA RELIABILITY! A San Diego pleasant day drive becomes a virtual vacation in this car!
The blind spot! It almost put me off of this fine car. You will be stunned by the thought that a Toyota engineer actually thought this through... then you'll realize that they didn't - it's an afterthought, after-market production. Cutting off the top caused them to install those high headrests.
After the leaky roof was fixed two
times and I still have to fix the
hesitation with excelleration, it's an
okay car. The 'tires for life' deal is
a scam since it requires oil changes
every 3,500 miles or the warranty is
voided. The car looks great, but I want
more than "a looker" to keep me happy.
The style is so close to Lexxus.
The roof rattles too much, lets in too
much road noise. Some of my other
comments are dealer based -- not for
the car.
The exterior isn't similar to a lExus ... it is the same
body, except for the badging.
Looks, price, reliability
Too much body shaking on rough roads; blind
spots when top is up, and rear view is bad even
with top down.

As you probably know, Rep. Cohen responded to the President's call for civility by calling the Republican party a bunch of Nazis. Because that's what he does; and I don't really expect bigots like him to change. Cohen is precisely the sort of person who can't feel big until he's made everybody around him small; and since people like that rarely have the ability to change things in any real capacity, Steve Cohen will be a bitter, spiteful man until the day he dies.
But I do have a request for TN-0[9] Democrats: can you please find a primary challenger for him that isn't a racist himself or herself, this time around? Your last two primaries have been the political equivalent of the Iran-Iraq war: the most moral option in both was to root for injuries.
Moe Lane (crosspost)
PS What you said about Max Schmeling was a lie, Representative Cohen. He was never a Nazi and he personally rescued two Jewish children during Kristallnacht.
Sorry: I don't know why that set me off and other, more immediately obnoxious comments don't. Probably because Schmeling was what my dad called a stand-up guy when it came to helping Joe Louis out.
PPS: He clearly made me so angry that I got the district wrong. TN-09, not TN-08.

The Anime MMOG | "We both have the same motto."
Mayoi Neko Overrun! - 03
Are you sure that's all you want to make?
Trailing the manga, this is the episode where Nozomi "runs away" because she feels she is imposing on Takumi and Fumino's Love-Lie relationship. But no fear! Chise's super network manages to locate the stray catgirl and bring her back to safety(?) easily. Takumi and Fumino's persuasions manage to keep Nozomi around.
Another highlight of the episode is the I LIKE YOU confession. Probably the only truth/lie that isn't a truth/lie.
Shake! SHAKE! Nyaa~
Animation quality's still a little splotchy, but meh, it's still okay for me. Next episode better have more Chise.

Hmm, I might have to pick up this series and add it to my watching list this season, very bare so far T.T
Also, no fanservice? Jeez, past couple of seasons have been bursting at the seams with fanservice (Omamori Himari, Seikon no Qwaser, Kiss x Sis, etc), so adding a non-fanservice will do good for my list right now :/

Best of Technical Support
I am having trouble getting Netscape to run on Linux. I have Windows NT in the first 4G and installed Linux in the remaining 4G partition. Linux detects the Ethernet card when first installed, but when I log off to use NT and then go back to Linux, Linux no longer sees my Ethernet card. It gives me a "domain not bound" error. I would like to know what is happening. —Yong, email@example.com
Netscape is known to have lots of bugs and problems and not only with Linux in my experience. I recently reinstalled the 4.75RPMs (from the Red Hat ftp site) and, as of now, there seem to be fewer problems, especially related to Java. It is still quite usual for the first process of Netscape to die, but new instances of the program will run fine. Regarding your Ethernet card, you do not mention the brand/model, but I solved a similar problem by turning off the PnP feature of a 3Com 3c590 Ethernet card and, under Windows, making it work as ISA or EISA. Linux worked fine after that. —Felipe E. Barousse Boué, firstname.lastname@example.com
I am setting up a cable modem. I have a 10/100 Ethernet card running at full duplex. How do I lock the card to 10MB and half duplex? Is this in the "hwconf" file? If so what does the syntax look like? Any additional help is appreciated. Also, I am running a RCA Cable Modem. —David A. Bower, firstname.lastname@example.com
You do not specify the brand of Ethernet card you have. But, usually there is a diskette that comes with the card (or you can download it from the card manufacturer's site) that allows you to turn off the Plug-and-Play and duplexing features of the card. Bear in mind that for some cards this change doesn't really do anything to the behavior of the card, in respect to Linux at least. I would suggest looking at the Ethernet-HOWTO at www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Ethernet-HOWTO.html where you can find additional information about your specific card's settings. —Felipe E. Barousse Boué, email@example.com
Cable modems can be frustrating because they often use a form of DHCP designed for Windows systems only. Setting your card to run half duplex may help and can be done by using the driver as a module rather than as a built-in driver. Then use insmod mydriver.o full_duplex=0. Note that there are a few cards that do not support this parameter. I have had problems even after doing that. To get my cable modem working under Linux, I had to specify ALL of the following switches on the command line of "dhcpcd": -r -h myhostname.in.windows -I 1:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx -l 3600 eth0. This tells the program to use the RFC1541 (obsolete) protocol, to specify the host name (which you can get by running WINIPCFG from your working Windows system), and to specify the Ethernet address and card (from the same machine; may not be required for you). —Chad Robinson, email@example.com
My machine is set up to dual-boot Red Hat Linux 6.2 and Windows 98. When it boots to Windows 98, the Num Lock stays on, but when it boots to Linux, the it goes off. Is there a way to change this behavior so I don't have to press the Num Lock key each time I start Linux? —Michael Kaneshige, email@example.com
If you are working in text mode, look at the man page for the setleds command. In one of the initialization scripts, let's say /etc/rc.d/rc.local, add something like:
for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 dosetleds -D +num < tty$i done
This will turn on Num Lock by default when booting up your system. If you are using a Graphic User Interface, there is usually an Options setting specifically for the Num Lock status at boot time. —Felipe E. Barousse Boué, firstname.lastname@example.com
You can add these commands to your /etc/rc.d/rc.local boot script:
INITTY=/dev/tty[1-8] for tty in $INITTY; setleds -D +num < $tty done
--Pierre Ficheux, email@example.com
I'm installing Red Hat 6.1 on a laptop. How do I get it to read/load the pcmcia card and not the eth0? —Anthony G., firstname.lastname@example.com
You should look at the /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/* startup scripts to see the order in which the pcmcia and eth0 boards are initialized. Renaming the files with higher or lower numbers (S10xxxxx, S20xxxx, etc.) will redetermine that order. Many startup services are stored there, so be careful when playing with these files. Also, check the chkconfig --help command, so you can turn one service on and the other off. Lastly, to manually initialize or stop the pcmcia or Ethernet boards, use the commands:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia [stop|start|restart]ifdown eth0 ifup eth0
--Felipe E. Barousse Boué, firstname.lastname@example.com

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Had a great day with out tour guide Brigette, loved the slower pace of the tour, it made you feel like you were actually on holidays, not rushing from one sight to another. Lunch at the Fromages restaurant was delightful as was the visit to the two chateaus, I came away with so much more knowledge on wine... And a few bottles under my wing!

Six years of work by an air quality research group is paying off.
A cooperative effort by federal, state and academic groups has measured air emissions from feedlots and dairies to find ways to reduce odor and dust, but the work also allowed them to help the facilities comply quickly with new federal rules.
The Environmental Protection Agency issued a rule Dec. 18 that gave feedlots about one month to report the amount of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide emitted, making for a quick turnaround. That's where six years of measurements came in handy.
Measurements fall in a range rather than being a single number because factors constantly change how much of each substance goes into the air. Emissions vary with what the cattle eat, with the season and even with the time of day, said Brent Auvermann, a Texas AgriLife Extension Service engineer.
So the researchers determined the best way for feedyard operators to estimate their emissions and developed a worksheet for calculating emissions.
"The annual emission numbers can add up to the low threshold values of reporting that EPA just set, but they do not reach levels of general public concern," said John Sweeten, director of the Texas AgriLife Research and Extension Center at Amarillo.
Applying the research to reducing emissions of the chemicals has not been as easy.
"We can give strategies for controlling ammonia, but in the current economic climate, you'd go bankrupt trying," said AgriLife air quality engineer Ken Casey. "There are no products that currently show a lot of potential to be economical for control. If there is less manure in a pen, we believe there would be less emissions. At the same time, when you move toward more frequent cleaning, feedlot operators will tell you how much that costs."
Using the research to control dust is proving more practical.
Almost 80 Texas feedyards, including some in the Panhandle, have received federal funding for a share of dust-control measures using data from the project. About 53 percent of Texas feedyards have adopted some form of feedlot dust control from set sprinklers to traveling-gun sprinklers and more frequent manure removal, Sweeten said.
The air quality research project is funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture-Cooperative State Research, Education and Extension Service. The organizations doing the research include Texas AgriLife Research, AgriLife Extension, Texas A&M University, USDA-Agricultural Research Service, West Texas A&M University and Kansas State University.

The company that operates Philadelphia's red-light camera program is challenging the Philadelphia Parking Authority's decision to award the lucrative camera contract to a different company.
American Traffic Solutions Inc., of Tempe, Ariz., is asking Commonwealth Court to void PPA's contract with Xerox State & Local Solutions Inc., a unit of Xerox Corp., of Norwalk, Conn.
Meanwhile, the Parking Authority has filed for an injunction to compel ATS to continue to operate and maintain its cameras during a six-month "winding-down period," until Xerox gets its cameras installed at all 25 affected city intersections.
ATS contends that Xerox's bid was flawed in several ways, including that Xerox proposes to use radar-based cameras to catch motorists running red lights. ATS said Pennsylvania law permits only the state police to use radar, so Xerox may be in violation of state law.
