Old City recognized nationally for its arts scene
Philadelphia's Old City is one of the top 12 places for the arts in the country, according to ArtPlaces, a collaboration of national funding foundations and federal agencies tracking and promoting the effects of art activity in urban neighborhoods.
Thirty years ago, Old City was known as a place to avoid at night, rather than a cultural destination. The mostly abandoned post-industrial spaces were large, cheap, and available — which made them attractive to artists.
Its evolution could act as a model for how arts can revitalize a blighted neighborhood.
Rick Snyderman was not among the first wave of artists to discover Old City in the 1970s, but he wasn't far behind. The co-owner of Snyderman-Works gallery has exhibited and dealt in contemporary art and sculpture since the late 1980s at Cherry Street near Third.
The former international financier says Old City succeeded as an arts district because artists could afford to buy the buildings where they lived and worked.
"This little block of Cherry Street that I'm on, seems unprepossessing. But actually just about everyone on this block lives here and owns their buildings," said Snyderman in his gallery featuring contemporary painting and sculpture. "So there's a very stable quality to Old City that isn't evident just by driving down the street or walking around the neighborhoods."
Now home to 10 museums, 44 art galleries, at least 100 restaurants, and 160 retailers, Old City is a bona fide success. The Old City District is wooing tech startups to become the next wave of tenants in the neighborhood.
But there is still room for the arts to grow in the fringes of Old City.
"This building is a shell that is a beautiful industrial gem from 1903," said Nick Stuccio, president of the Live Arts Festival and Philly Fringe, as he stood in a 10,000-square-foot box of concrete and steel.
He pointed up to a gigantic steel crane sliding on rails 30 feet overhead.
"This is rated for 20 tons. And we're right beneath it," he said. "Pretty cool, huh?"
Striving for a synthesis
The building, a pumping station for the city's Water Department, was decommissioned in the 1980s. Since then it has sat, unused, at the foot of the Ben Franklin Bridge, at Race Street and Columbus Boulevard. Stuccio is converting this space into a performance venue and restaurant. The $7 million project will include a 250-seat theater, a full bar, and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Delaware River.
Stuccio wants to turn Old City's art experience into a social experience.
"Look at Old City. It's in two parts, south of Market Street, and to the north," said Stuccio. "The south part is dense with bars and nightclubs. The north side, a very strict zoning overlay with no new bars or restaurants.
"North side is for the arts, it's where you go to the Arden Theater, the Painted Bride, an art gallery. And you leave, and you have fun on the south side," he said. "That's crazy."
The new frontier of Old City is the waterfront, separated from the city by I-95. Stuccio is gambling, just like the Arden and the Painted Bride did decades earlier, that people will come if there's something to see.
The renovation is scheduled to be complete by September, in time for the 2013 Live Arts/Philly Fringe theater festival.

Scarlet Fever
Veterinarian Reviewed on June 22, 2012 by Paulina Nelega, RH
Posted in Uncategorized
Scarlet Fever
It is kind of illness which can easily occur in children. Scarlet fever is caused by Group 'A' streptococcus virus. It is communicable disease and can easily transfer from one person to another. In the early stages the child develops high fever and red rash on one or more parts of the body.
Before, this kind of illness was extremely feared and fatal. It was untreatable. But now, many treatments are available and children can be completely cured from this illness.
Another distinctive characteristic of this fever is that it makes the tongue swollen and red which may remain like that for few days. It is also commonly accompanied by sore throat. Scarlet fever is usually confused with rheumatic fever. Though it is not same but later on it can proceed to rheumatic fever. Rheumatic fever is infact more complicate to treat and may leave permanent effects.
It is caused by infection from Group 'A' streptococcus virus, which is also responsible for other types of common problems like strep throat, tonsils and impetigo. The virus is easily communicable and the infection can easily spread from one person to another by contact. Also a person can get this infection by inhaling air containing this virus.
A child who is suffering from rash, high fever and strep throat should be immediately taken to a doctor for diagnosis of scarlet fever. The rash has to be examined to eliminate the possibility of other types of common childhood problems like measles or rubella. The doctor usually takes a swab from throat to confirm this infection.
Signs and Symptoms
The distinguishing feature of scarlet fever from others is the appearance of red rash which is usually fine with an appearance of sand paper. After about 12 to 24 hours of onset of fever, this rash develops. In the starting it looks like a severe sunburn but later develops itching. After staying for few days the rash starts to dry out and become scaly. This rash very frequently develops on chest in the infected children. The other parts where it can also occur are arm pit or behind the ears. When it appears on the cheek it gives a look of slapped cheek to the infected child.
The other commonly appearing symptoms of scarlet fever are high fever, sore throat, and increased tiredness, loss of appetite, headache and nausea. Also appearance of swollen tongue is a common sign. The tongue becomes red with small red spots usually referred to as strawberry tongue.
Treatment Options
First and foremost any child showing the above mentioned symptom of scarlet fever should be immediately taken to the doctor. Timely diagnosis and treatment will prevent the fever from changing into any other complicated illness like rheumatic fever, meningitis or kidney disease.
The doctor usually prescribes antibiotic of penicillin or erythromycin. These have side effects so should be carefully administered. Also adequate rest and proper diets with lots of fluid is essential for a speedy recovery.
Holistic Treatments
Though immediate treatment of this problem is essential by allopathic options but children can be given natural and homeopathicremedies to boost the immune system. Herbs like Echinacea purpurea, Astragalusmembranaceous, Inulahelenium and Withania have antiviral, antifungal and antibacterial properties and also boost the immune system. Herbs likeMeadowsweet and Yarrow can control the fever associated with this illness.

There are 1.4 million Americans presently in uniform, according to the Department of Defense. While most are serving at home, many have likely served in Iraq and Afghanistan, home to most of the last decade's battlefields.
Troop levels in Iraq approached 150,000 during the height of that war, and deployment in Afghanistan is presently about 100,000.
Though the war in Iraq is over and there's hope our troops will soon be out of Afghanistan, thousands of Americans still serve in other global hot spots, such as South Korea, where 25,000 Americans are assisting our ally.
But that's just part of the picture. Those who have served our nation have a long, proud history.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, of the 311 million people in the United States, about 21.8 million are veterans. That's about one in 14 people you'll meet on the street, a fairly large percentage of the population.
But a "typical" veteran is hard to define. For example, Census Bureau figures show the odds of meeting a World War II veteran are about one in 150. Korean War veterans number about one in 120.
About one in 40 people served during the Vietnam War era, and about one in 57 living Americans have served our country during peace time.
The youngest veterans have served since the Gulf War in 1990. They comprise about one in 65 of all Americans.
Civilians can never fully understand what it's like to be a veteran. Some volunteered and some were drafted. They all left family, friends and home for remote military bases and jobs full of hard work and long hours.
Many have faced extreme and dangerous conditions, and mind-numbing boredom. Many have confronted people of other cultures in harsh, uncaring lands, accomplishing life-changing and life-saving missions. Many have fought, been wounded and watched their comrades die.
Whatever their service, in whatever era or capacity, all have done more than their part to make this the great nation we have become. They deserve our lasting gratitude, on this Veterans Day, and every day.

Farmers interested in learning more about improving forage and pasture management after drought can participate in a Nov. 15 discussion by experts from Ohio State University Extension and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The presentation, "Make Your Land Work for You - Tell Us What You Need and We'll Tell You How," is 6-8 p.m. at 12681 U.S. Highway 62, Sardinia. The event is free and open to the public.
The drought of 2012 has been one of the worst on record in Ohio, leaving many livestock producers hard hit in their pastures and forages, said Dave Dugan, an OSU Extension educator.
Dugan will discuss how producers can manage weeds coming out of a pasture in drought during the joint meeting.
"The drought has had a significant impact on livestock farmers due to losing pasture, including to overgrazing," he said. "An overgrazed pasture leaves a diminished amount of desirable forage species and opens the opportunity for weeds to get started in many cases, more so than in a normal year."
Dugan will discuss methods to control weeds, including herbicides and mechanical methods, as well as how to maintain pastures so weeds don't go to seed to repopulate or multiply.
"We hope we don't have another drought so we have time to get new species in our pastures," he said. "Texas and Oklahoma are states that have seen drought back to back, and I hope that we don't. It's just a gamble when you have to depend on the weather."
Other issues to be discussed at the meeting include:
- How to improve grazing in challenging conditions.
- How USDA supports Ohio agriculture through conservation efforts and supports rural communities through disaster.

The Effect of Protein-enriched Diet on Body Composition and Appetite (ProteinRich)

- How to Read a Study Record
Obesity is a major problem worldwide and current dietary interventions are not proving to be enough to cease the increase in levels of obesity and its detrimental side effects, such as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
Existing data suggests that adjustments in the macronutrient composition of the diet, more specifically the protein content, may have beneficial effects on body composition and an antiobesegenic effect on appetite. This may be important in terms of controlling body weight and reducing the amount of fatty tissue within our bodies and organs, and therefore preventing obesity and its health related side effects.
The investigators will perform a study to investigate whether a high protein low energy diet compared to a normal protein low energy diet, in overweight adults can modify appetite and aid loss of weight and fat mass. Subjects will receive either a high protein low energy diet (1.34g protein/kg body weight) or a normal protein low energy diet (0.8g protein/kg body weight) in the form of 2 meal replacements and one conventional meal per day with 2 snacks for 12 weeks.
HYPOTHESIS In overweight subjects with the metabolic syndrome, a 12 week dietary intervention with a high protein low energy diet will lead to a reduced appetite, body weight and fat mass, more specifically to a greater fall in levels of fat in the liver and pancreas than a low energy normal protein diet.

|Official Title:
|The Effect of Protein-enriched Diet on Body Composition and Appetite
- Change in lipid content of the liver (intrahepatocellular lipid) [ Time Frame: Baseline and at 12 weeks ]Changes in body weight and body composition, more specifically visceral, muscle, liver and pancreas fat content will be measured using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS). Individual's data will be compared at baseline and at 12 weeks of following the diet and also to that of the participants given normal protein low energy diets. This data may therefore support our hypothesis that high protein intakes may help to aid weight loss and reduce fat mass and would therefore be a viable option in the treatment of obesity.
- Change in appetite regulation, measured by VAS, gut hormones and food intake. [ Time Frame: Baseline and 12 weeks ]It has also been suggested that highprotein diets are more beneficial in the regulation of appetite. We therefore aim to measure any changes in appetite whilst on a highprotein lowenergy diet compared to a normalprotein lowenergy diet. Changes in appetite will be measured using validated questionnaires assessing subjects feeling of hunger, pleasantness and volume able to eat as well as fullness. This data may support our hypothesis that highprotein intakes may alter appetite regulation and therefore be a useful in the treatment of obesity.

I don't think the Rockets would do it. Granger is a good option for teams that are in win now mode or need a sidekick to their superstar, not to teams who can't make the playoffs. If the Rockets do try something like this, they will probably aim for a younger guy, maybe Iggy or Gay, and even then I'm not sure they throw in both picks

SAN JOSE — A Campbell nanny who molested girls in his care and had them undress and engage in provocative acts in front of a webcam agreed to a plea deal that will send him to prison for 44 years.
John Walker, who was known by the girls as "Mr. Johnny," accepted the deal from the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office on Thursday, the first day of jury selection for his trial, according to prosecutor Clarissa Hamilton. By pleading guilty to charges of child molestation and possession of child pornography, Walker avoided a potential sentence of life in prison with no chance of parole, Hamilton said.
"He was looking at life," Hamilton said. "He would never have got out."
The girls, who were between the ages of seven and 12 at the time of the molestation, told police Walker touched them inappropriately and had them undress during a video chat. On the other end, men would watch the girls, Hamilton said. Walker also watched as the girls appeared topless on webcams with strangers on the other end.
"The girls would play a game of truth or dare, undressing and performing provocative acts," Hamilton said.
Most of the girls said they undressed for Walker, who touched them inappropriately, according to the reports.
Walker was arrested in March 2012 after police found him dropping off a 9-year-old girl, who turned out to be one of his victims, according to police reports. They were looking for him after two girls complained that same day about being touched by Walker, police reports state.
Police also located 64,000 images of child porn, Hamilton said.
Many of the girls said that Walker had been their nanny since they were babies. One girl said at least once, Walker acted inappropriately while her parents were out at night. One girl told police her story crying and clutching a pillow.
Police reports also reveal their interview with Walker, who tried to explain that he was looking at a girl's private parts because he was "looking for a rash." But later in the interview, reports show that he acknowledged exposing himself on the webcam, and watching the girls expose themselves.

When a dairy cow develops a disease, producers take steps to get her well. Unfortunately, the common task of moving a sick cow to the hospital pen may be doing more harm than good.
"We think about a hospital as a place to get well, but that isn't necessarily the case," said Mike Lormore, DVM, MS, MBA, director of Dairy Technical Services, Zoetis. "Hospital pens can be a risky place, especially for fresh cows, and this can affect the entire dairy. Producers need to understand the risks of managing hospital pens and work to avoid unnecessary pen moves."
Hospital pen risk: Contracting another disease
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services estimates that one in every 20 inpatients has an infection related to hospital care.1 Similarly, dairy hospital pens can be risky environments, especially for fresh cows that may have depressed immune systems, increasing their likelihood of contracting a new infection.
"With proper treatment and care, a dairy cow has a good chance of recovering from an initial disease incident," Dr. Lormore said. "However, if a cow gets a second disease, especially Salmonellosis or Mycoplasma mastitis, it's much more likely that cow will not recover to previous production and health. Additionally, she is at great risk of early removal from the herd."
The prevalence of Salmonella has been on the rise across U.S. dairies.2 In a hospital pen, the risk is even greater. A cow is 11 times more likely to contract the bacteria in a hospital pen than anywhere else on the dairy.3Salmonella infections can lead to reduced milk yield, weight loss, poor reproductive performance and death in dairy cows.
Mycoplasma bovis (M. bovis) is another bacterium that easily can be contracted in the hospital pen. In one study, 70% of cows entering the hospital pen contracted M. bovis clinical mastitis within 12 days of entering the hospital pen.4
Hospital pen risk: Controlling disease from the herd
During their stay in the hospital pen, fresh cows can become carriers of disease. If they don't show signs of a clinical infection and are returned to their regular pen, the bacteria they now are carrying can follow them back to the milking herd. For example, cows with subclinical Salmonella infections can shed the bacteria to their herdmates without showing any symptoms. This puts your entire herd at risk.
Hospital pen risk: Mistakes leading to drug residues
When cows with different illnesses enter the hospital pen, they also have different treatment protocols and needs. Mistakes can happen, which can lead to violative drug residues.
"Drugs don't cause drug residues — people cause drug residues," Dr. Lormore said. "When hospital pens get busy, a leg band can be missed, the timing or dosage for a treatment can get confused, and proper records aren't kept. These mistakes can all lead to violative drug residues which diminish consumer confidence in the food we produce and damage your dairy's reputation. You could even lose your ability to do business if these mistakes continue."
Avoid hospital pen moves with help from your veterinarian
Avoiding hospital pen moves, especially for fresh cows, should be a priority to help protect dairy wellness. Your veterinarian should be your first resource for finding ways to avoid hospital pen moves.
"The biggest mistake dairy producers make is not working with their veterinarian enough on treatment protocol development and execution," Dr. Lormore said. "Producers need to establish a valid veterinarian-client-patient relationship (VCPR) so they can work together with their veterinarian to find solutions that better manage fresh cows and avoid risky hospital pen moves."
With a valid VCPR, Dr. Lormore noted your veterinarian can help with several aspects of managing fresh cows. Here are some tasks to discuss with your veterinarian:
- Review dry and fresh cow management practices to help prevent disease
- Evaluate the environment and nutrition for dry and fresh cows to ensure optimal cow performance
- Develop effective treatment protocols if disease arises
- Consider treatments with zero milk discard to eliminate the need for pen moves
- Train employees regularly and monitor for compliance with treatment protocols
- Establish and review good record-keeping practices, and monitor disease incidents and treatments

TPWD News Release — May 6, 2010
ROCKPORT — One of Texas' earliest state parks has stood up to the wind, surf and sun for almost 75 years, but now and then the elements start gaining on it. This fall Texas Parks and Wildlife will acknowledge Mother Nature's constant challenge at Goose Island State Park by removing 45 concrete shade shelters worn down from more than 35 years of harsh weather.
Thanks to bond funding authorized by the Texas Legislature and approved by statewide voters, TPWD will then replace the old shelters with 45 new shelters, ready once more to take whatever the Gulf of Mexico — and thousands of visitors annually — can throw at them.
"The new shelters will be very similar structurally, but they will be more modern architecturally," says project manager Jessica Davisson.
The installation of the new shade shelters at Goose Island is another item on a long list of major Texas State Parks rejuvenation projects underway this year, all aimed at keeping the parks fun, safe and customer friendly. Texas State Parks general obligation bonds have been sold to fund more than $44 million in repairs and renovations to park cabins, bathrooms, electrical and water systems, and other state park infrastructure. Along with fixing up more than 40 state parks, the bonds provide an additional $25 million to dry berth the Battleship Texas.
Along with fixing up more than 40 state parks, the bonds provide an additional $25 million to dry berth the Battleship Texas, taking the proud veteran of two World Wars out of the corrosive water of the Houston Ship Channel.
No one knows better than Goose Island Superintendent Stormy Reeves how long and well the old shade shelters served and how much the weather abused them. The first 25 shelters were installed in1969-1970. Reeves came to the park in 1973, in time to see the then final 20 shelters go up in 1973-1974.
"These are pre-cast concrete structures," Reeves says. "The structural steel in them has been rusting for years and that caused some structural failure due to sloughing off of the concrete."
The old shelters have been popular so the new versions will be similar but improved. Designs show a concrete base, two opposed but slightly 'V-ed' (rather than parallel) concrete walls with a shoreline relief design and a sloping concrete roof. Each shelter will have water and electricity, and a wooden table that can be removed if a hurricane threatens.
Goose Island State Park is located, mostly, at the tip of the landmass surrounded by St. Charles, Aransas and Copano bays. A short distance across St. Charles Bay is Aransas National Wildlife Refuge.
"Eco-tourism in Texas started here in the Rockport area because of the whooping crane," Reeves says. "We have whooping cranes in and around the park generally from November through April. This is really a great, unique location. We have had tremendous birding opportunities with our spring fallouts. There are over 325 bird species on our park check list."
Because the park has a seawall but no beach or designated swimming area, it's not a prime spot for college students. It primarily attracts older couples and young families. Many come to fish. The park features a 1,620-foot, lighted fishing pier, a boat ramp, a bait stand and fish-cleaning tables.
"Twenty-five percent of the sport fishing on the Texas coast happens here in the Aransas Bay system," Reeves says. "People fish off the shoreline or use boats."
Goose Island is located 10 miles north of Rockport and 40 miles north of Corpus Christi. It totals 321 acres, about 150 acres on Goose Island itself, where the shade shelters are located. Another 90 acres, on the mainland, form the section called the Wooded Area, which has 57 electric and water campsites and 25 non-electric sites.
Another 60 acres is right of way on Park Road 13, which goes about 1 ½ miles to one of the park's premiere features, The Big Tree.
"The Big Tree is the state champion coastal live oak tree" says Reeves proudly. "It was named that in 1969 by the Texas Forest Service. It's estimated to be more than 1,000 years old. It's our icon."
Like most of Texas earliest state parks, Goose Island was constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s. The CCC-built Recreation Hall is still here.
"They constructed that with bricks made from oyster shells," Reeves says. "They call it shell-crete, where they mix concrete with already crushed oyster shell for the aggregate."
But the state showed an interest in Goose Island years earlier. In 1927 it reserved land for a future park-like project at this location. Eight decades later, Texans are still enjoying Goose Island's many pleasures.

my time to dedicate to the site/forum will be sporadic over the next few weeks (and has been over the past week or so).
my upstairs neighbor broke their toilet and let it run for 12+ hours which flooded me out of my apartment.
i had to move out for a week in a huge hurry for them to refinish the apartment and move me back in. needless to say, it wasn't a very clean move. it's going to take me a few weeks to get back up and running.
one box of mini DV's for my video were in the floodline...
i haven't been able to test to see if they will still work and/or if they were tapes that i've captured already or tapes waiting to be captured... which puts uncertainty behind my videos.

We need to move and are sick of renting, but worried that the market has another leg down. We've been waiting for this bubble to play itself out since 2001, are getting older, and don't plan on being lifelong renters.
If you've been waiting to buy, are you waiting indefinitely (as we have for the past 13 years) or do you have a time frame (ie., 6 months, 1 year).
If we buy we plan on staying 10-20 years, or forever, whichever come first.
Thanks to this website and a few other housing blogs, we didn't buy during the bubble. I have friends who did and are now seriously underwater and stuck.
Would hate to be the sucker that shoulda waited another 12 months. Waiting another 3-5 years isn't really an option, I'd like to quit being an amateur armchair economist and get on with my life and stop thinking about housing before I retire.
I know none of us have a RE crystal ball, but the group wisdom saved me from being a sucker 6 years ago when everyone else was behaving like lemmings.

Why parents should learn to stop worrying and love vaccines
The following is a work of opinion submitted by the author.
Every generation has a defining epidemic. For my mother's generation, it was polio. For those of us who grew up in the 1980s, it was the AIDS crisis. Today, one growing epidemic is not a disease or medical condition.
It's an unnecessary fear of vaccinations, thanks in large part to the now discredited studies of Dr. Andrew Wakefield, who alleged a causal connection between measles vaccinations and autism in 1998.
Dr. Paul Offit, chief of the Division of Infectious Diseases at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, believes that such discredited studies are to blame for instilling fear and doubt in parents.
"It's okay to spend what has been tens of millions of dollars answering questions [about vaccines and autism], but what's frustrating to me is that, even after we've found that the answer, that there is no connection, people still think that vaccines might be harmful," said Dr. Offit.
Most vaccines consists of a dead or weakened version of a disease, along with a very small amount of material used to culture the germ cells (like chicken egg protein) and preservatives such as glycine (an amino acid). When a vaccine is introduced to the body, the immune system responds by producing antibodies that attack the foreign material, or antigen. The antibodies will die off after their job is done, but the cells that produced them "remember" the antigen. When a live version of the disease comes into the body, the immune system can now produce antibodies specially equipped to defeat it.
Learning how a vaccine works, and the ingredients they contain, is not difficult. The information can be obtained by talking to a doctor, contacting the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or more commonly by checking out resources online. Unfortunately, alongside the reliable sources of information are websites claiming links between vaccines and the onset of autism and conspiracies involving pharmaceutical companies paying off doctors.
Debunking the myths
Let's start with the big one. There is not, and never has been, a link between autism and childhood inoculations. Wakefield is a gastroenterologist, not an infectious disease specialist. His interest in autism stemmed from a 1995 case involving a child who developed bowel problems and experienced issues with communication and interaction shortly after receiving a measles vaccine.
In the years after the controversial 1998 paper was published, not a single researcher was able to reproduce the same results using Wakefield's methods. Even more alarming was the report issued from a researcher on the project, which stated that none of the 12 test subjects were found to have the measles virus (from the vaccines) in their systems.
Some fearmongers hold to a theory that pharmaceutical companies pay doctors to offer vaccine shots to patients. This claim is false, since the only money coming into a doctor's office for vaccines is from the patients' insurance companies.
"Doctors spend a lot of money when it comes to storing [vaccines], administering them, recording them, and explaining them to parents" said Offit. "The reimbursement from insurance companies tends to be woefully low. I would say doctors are under-reimbursed."
According to VaccineEthics.org, a website managed by the Penn Center for Bioethics, vaccines account for 1.5 percent of all pharmaceutical revenues. Despite being a necessary aspect of a healthy lifestyle, vaccines make less money for drug companies than big name medicines, and doctors' offices actually lose money from having them.
The dangers ahead
While doctors like Offit remain optimistic that cautious parents will realize the importance of vaccinating their children, efforts of anti-vaccine groups could derail years of progress. Pertussis, also known as whooping cough, caused thousands of infections in the 1940s and '50s (40,000 in 1959 alone) until a vaccine was introduced.
As a result of susceptible adults who did not receive the vaccine as children in the 1990s, whooping cough has made a major comeback, with over 29,000 infections this year as of September. Of those infections, over 1,300 were in Pennsylvania. America could see the resurgence of diseases like polio, which is spreading rapidly throughout the world, if the trend against inoculation continues.
"The most important job of a parent is to put their child in the safest position possible, and vaccines provide that safety" said Offit. "It's becoming progressively more dangerous out there."

Will consumers embrace the biotech Arctic apple?
The question of public acceptance of the GMO non-browning apple is not easily answered now. Certainly most public comments to the USDA about the apple's quest for non-regulated status raise warning flags.
With the heat generated by the Arctic apple and other biotech crops, the Biotech Industry Organization is not turning a deaf ear to consumer concerns about biotechnology in food and farming.
Far from it. The group last year launched a website called GMO Answers. The site invites readers to ask questions about GMOs of experts in the field.
Former Western Growers executive Cathleen Enright — now the Biotechnology Industry Organization's executive vice president for food and agriculture — talked about the effort in a recent speech at the American Farm Bureau Federation annual convention in San Antonio.
"Only when our audiences understand we are listening to them will they listen to us," she said in her presentation.
Giving consumers an interactive and responsive forum to ask questions about biotechnology is exactly the right thing to do.
Is it enough? For example, can it forestall efforts in 30 U.S. states to introduce labeling for biotech food?
Not likely.
The dynamics of the biotech debate are far from settled, and we make no comment here whether the U.S. consumer is prepared now, or will be in 10 years, to embrace biotech varieties of fresh produce.
But, at the very least, the GMO Answers website provides a dialogue where consumer trust and knowledge about biotechnology can gain a stronger footing.

New York Mets lefthander Johan Santana will begin the regular season on the disabled list, ESPNNewYork.com reports. And he could remain sidelined for a while.
Santana has been brought along slowly in spring training—much to his chagrin initially—because of weakness in his surgically repaired shoulder and hasn't made enough progress to break camp with the team.
"I've just got to stay here and work out and get ready," Santana told the website. "... I'm making progress. It's just I don't know when I'm going to be pitching again. That's the thing: We cannot think ahead. The way we're approaching everything is every day make sure we have a good day."
Santana missed the entire 2011 season after shoulder surgery in September of 2010, but he showed signs of regaining his past form in the first half of last season. The two-time Cy Young Award winner went 6-5 with a 3.24 ERA before the break and threw the first no-hitter in franchise history. However, ankle and back injuries contributed to a 0-4 record and a 16.33 ERA in four second-half starts. And Santana didn't pitch after Aug. 17.
Santana didn't throw during the offseason, and the team questioned his preparedness when he reported to spring training. That resulted in a brief feud, which has been settled, but it also resulted in the team taking things slowly with Santana.
"Where he is at long-toss wise, he's not going to pitch," manager Terry Collins told the New York Daily News. "He's not where he needs to be in his long-toss program, so even if it's next week, he's not going to open with us. He's going to have to get himself ready. ... I'll monitor it by phone."
Santana, 34, is entering the final season of his six-year, $137.5 million contract and will earn $25.5 million in 2013. In 21 starts last season, he went 6-9 with a 4.85 ERA and 111 strikeouts in 117 innings.
The team announced that lefthander Jon Niese will start on opening day, an assignment that would have gone to Santana.

My name is Mr Asghar Javed Ali and I am the Liberal Democrat Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for Islwyn Constituency, South Wales.
I have been a Liberal Democrat councillor for the past six years. I have been married for 35 years and have four children. I started taking real interest in politics in 1970 and have been an active supporter of the Liberal Democrats since 1983.
In 2001, I was elected as vice chair for Cardiff Central Constituency. I work hard for the party gathering ethnic minority support, persuading people to take an interest in politics and convincing them to sign up for Liberal Democrat membership.
I successfully recruit a lot of members from ethnic minorities for the party.
In the 2004 local election, after a very successful campaign on behalf of the party in Grangetown, all three Labour councillors were replaced by Liberal Democrats. We have worked hard in the ward as a team of councillors and have gained a lot of support for the party.
Within the first year of being a councillor I was elected as a Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for the party in the 2005 General election. Extensive campaigning resulted in a 4 per cent gain in the constituency, a considerable achievement for the party.
After the 2005 General Election I carried on working successfully as a councillor in my ward. In the 2007 Welsh Assembly election I was an AM candidate for the South Wales Central region. After another successful campaign the party managed a considerable gain.
I have also been a very active member within the ethnic minority community helping and advising where deemed necessary. I have been chairman of Madina Mosque and community centre, Cathays, Cardiff for the last 18 years.
I am also a founding member of Pakistan Welfare Association for Wales and have been an executive member of the Race Equality Council for the past 17 years. Furthermore for the last five years, I have also been a member of the Cardiff police community independent advisory group.
In my opinion Islwyn has been let down since the collapse of heavy industry by a series of Labour and Conservative governments in Westminster.
Liberal Democrats plan to create jobs through a one year economic stimulus plan which will benefit the people in Islwyn as we invest £125m in the Welsh economy. Our plans to invest in schools in the valleys will also make sure that everyone in Islwyn had the skills they need to success.

Silsden Town Council has completed an ambitious survey after 12 months of work.
Responses from more than 1,100 households will help councillors plan future development in Silsden.
Chris Atkinson, the town's mayor, praised Michael Elsmore and his team for their research.
He said: "The survey will give the town council a clear idea of what the priorities are for the people of Silsden.
"The subjects are as diverse as housing, crime, anti-social behaviour, clean streets, education, traffic, parking and community facilities."
The council has already used the survey's findings in putting its case for pedestrian crossing improvements at the Keighley Road/Elliott Street junction. The information on housing will help guide a Neighbourhood Planning report being prepared with Steeton-with-Eastburn Parish Council.

BRIGHTON and Hove's homeless could be housed in shipping containers by the summer.
A planning application to put 36 converted containers on a site was submitted to Brighton and Hove City Council yesterday.
If the application is agreed they would be installed for up to five years next to the Cobbler's Thumb pub in New England Road.
The plot, known as Richardson's Yard, is currently used as a car park.
Plans filed to the council propose two blocks of the containers, three and five storeys high, with gardens and solar panels on the roofs.
The joint scheme by Brighton Housing Trust (BHT) and local developers QED is aimed at easing the city's acute housing shortage.
It is hoped they will be used as a temporary place to live for people as they search for somewhere permanent to call home.
Ross Gilbert, from QED, said: "This scheme would put Brighton and Hove at the forefront of innovation, alongside Amsterdam and Bremen, in providing imaginative and high quality temporary use.
"We have undertaken consultation and discussion with potential residents, the local community, community leaders and the local council prior to our submission.
"We are hoping for a decision in April, which would lead to having the units ready for occupation by the summer."
BHT chief executive Andy Winter said: "This is a typically Brighton idea, a solution to deal with a local problem. The reaction we have had has been almost universally positive.
"The original concept has been developed and enhanced by some great suggestions people have made. I have always said that what really excites me about this opportunity is that land that might otherwise lie idle for five years will be brought back into life."
Using shipping containers for homes is common in Amsterdam, where they form student flats, accommodation for the Salvation Army and a hotel.
View the application on the planning section of Brighton and Hove City Council's website, reference number BH2013/00245.

For a number of years the market would usually rally when Fed chief Ben Bernanke had something to say. Lately, the pattern has changed and we are seeing a negative reaction to Dr. Bernanke, even though he continues to talk in a market-friendly manner. The problem is that he no longer has the keys to the printing press and can't continue to provide the flood of liquidity to which the bulls have become addicted.
The market sold off hard after Dr. Bernanke's comments and now the SPDR S&P 500 (SPY) is working to regain its 200-day simple moving average. As I have commented before, quantitative easing programs have given the market so much buoyance in the past, but we don't have it this time. The bulls' big hope is resolution of the fiscal cliff crisis but even then we still face major worries about slowing earnings.
I don't want to sound overly negative, as the market could find its legs and push us up a bit more, especially during the thin trading around Thanksgiving. On the other hand, the big bounce we had was widely anticipated and many of those who played it do not intend to stick around for long especially if the recent gains start to erode. I don't see much to buy anyway, so we'll just wait and see how things develop from here. Hopefully, we'll have trading action in small-caps to keep us occupied.
