No-till seen as a dynamic system
By Larry Dreiling
Examining the philosophy of no-till cropping as a systems approach to farming and the importance of understanding no-till agriculture from the system dynamics perspective was a key part of this year's No-till on the Plains Winter Conference, held recently at Salina, Kan.
Greg Scott, Oklahoma state soil scientist for the Natural Resources Conservation Service, presented his ideas that because all of the no-till system components are connected, every action will have an impact on the rest of the farm ecosystem, and it is important to consider the implication of a decision to all components of the system.
"No-till as a system includes rotations, cover crops, good soil management, and an understanding of how they work together," Scott said.
"We use the word ecosystem a lot, but let's define what a system is. It's a set of interdependent components that form a whole. We tend not to think about systems but rather about individual actions. All of the components of the system, even though we think about them separately—such as the crop we are growing or the soil we are planting them into, the rainfall we're getting—is all going to work as a system whether I want it to or not, and I have to learn to work within that system."
If one component is removed, Scott said, the whole system fails.
"The one consistent message we've heard at this conference is that over the years we have destroyed this part of the ecosystem from bacteria on up," Scott said. "We have reaped a harvest of ignoring how this ecosystemhas to work together."
Scott told of the no-till conversion of his own Cimarron County, Okla., farm, noticing how the earthworm population began to recover, creating channels that came to the surface, that persist from year to year, since he's not tilling them up and destroying them.
The earthworms, meanwhile, are bringing up residue, varying last year's residue crop.
"When you start digging into that residue, you discover that those earthworm casts are chock full of mycorrhizal fungi and they've allowed that system to rebuild the nutrient dynamics and the earthworm population," Scott said. "I'm putting residue on the surface and letting it decompose. It's nature's place to do so. Residue buried 7 inches under surface is not where nature fixes residue.
"By rebuilding the infiltration capacity, I don't have any runoff and get more water into the ground. I get a better crop. That better crop leaves more residue behind. Year by year, I rebuild that system, because while all I think I've done is reduce my tillage, I've really allowed the rest of the system to begin to function."
Cimarron County sits over the Ogallala Aquifer. If Scott's farm has a year that gets enough rainfall to push rainfall down below the root zone, this water in that ecosystem can actually function to recharge the aquifer. Not a dramatic increment, he said, but an increment nonetheless.
"The reaction is the water began to run to the hill slopes and began to build saline seeps all around a field," Scott said. "The seeps are the response to my management changes that were good yet I failed to anticipate that I was going to have more water than I know what to do with.
"It's still good to consider that I can send water down to the aquifer when I don't need it, but I need to consider if I'm sending nutrients and chemicals with it when I do it."
While Scott said he is sold on no-till, he also is a cynic about it.
"Thirty-five years ago I could look at some soil and say it was in great condition. This soil has naturally good tilth. The soil is soft, easy to till and makes a good seedbed," Scott said. "Over about a 25-year period, however, we had seen where soil had degraded to the point where we couldn't say we saw a farm that was in good shape.
"It was in 2003 that I started looking at soils that were in good shape and discovered they all been no-tilled for five to ten years. The changes were startling, so dramatic, and so rapid that I became sold on it."
Scott gets upset when people approach him to say they no-till even if they do occasional tillage.
"Essentially, one tillage pass loses most of what you've gained with no-till," Scott said. "Penetration resistance goes up. That's important because the root uses energy to grow. The denser the soil is the more energy it takes for that plant to grow. Roots growing through compacted soil tend to be shorter, fatter, explore less of the soil. They have less association with mycorrhizal fungi, and they give the plant less energy to take back into the plant and yield. Bulk density and penetration resistance—even with one tillage—goes up about 30 percent.
"The aggregation of soil structure we've built up from the fungi, the mucus of the worms, the exodates from the roots are destroyed in one tillage. The water infiltration is gone because all the worm channels we built have been destroyed and the organic matter falls off if we till just once.
"That pool of organic matter is available, in the bank, loaded with nematodes and fungi and bacteria with no-till. One plowing destroys that revenue gain of organic matter."
In Oklahoma, Scott said, it's not uncommon to lose 2 percent of the organic matter in the soils through tillage.
"You've lost 20 tons of organic matter, which is 2 tons of nitrogen," Scott said. "At 60 cents a pound, that's $2,400.00. We've lost more nitrogen in our fields than the land is worth. If you value nitrogen, no-till is money in the bank."
Part of the system approach is the addition of cover crops, Scott said.
"You keep hearing the message over and over again at this conference, but it is a consistent one," Scott said. "No-till with cover crops gives us the most rapid increase in quality in our systems."
Cover crops are especially good at correcting something Scott thought he'd never see in farmground covered in no-till: saline seeps.
"We've done all the good things and received all the benefits of no-till, but the water we've saved has to go somewhere and we failed to anticipate these saline seeps we're seeing," Scott said. "One thing about them, saline seeps will attract deer to lick the salt."
Saline seeps create a depression in yields and a lack of residue that creates weeds. The challenge, Scott said, is to determine how to increase the intensity of cropping, to dramatically increase water use, and to move the water table down from the surface and heal the saline seep.
"We can do that by adding aggressive alfalfa varieties or sunflowers or other cover crops to use all that water," Scott said. "It will heal itself. Interestingly, you might discover your soils to be lacking chloride because we've leached it out of the soil and into the saline seeps."
In considering adding cover crops, Scott suggests looking to the unbroken prairie for inspiration.
"In a tallgrass prairie, you can find many species of grasses and sedges growing in January," Scott said. "Nature does not never leave much of the prairie green year-round. Look closely at the prairie close to the soil. You'll find lots of things growing."
Scott had a reminder to his seminar participants:
"The land reacts as a system whether we anticipate its actions or not," Scott said. "Most of us are surprised when our actions effect the environment. It's difficult to wrap your arms around, but if you can anticipate what will happen, you'll be ahead."

Nearly 3,300 acres in Grundy County will be sold at auction Thursday, Oct. 31. A private land company that bought the undeveloped property three years ago is selling the land near the Grundy Forest State Natural Area in two parcels — one including 1,207 acres and the other including 2,075 acres. J.P King is auctioning the property.Photo by Contributed Photo /Chattanooga Times Free Press.
Bids too low for land sale
The bids Thursday for a mountainous parcel offered for sale near the Fierry Gizzard trail in Grundy County came in too low for any sale to be made. Real estate agent John Hetzler represented a group that offered the most for the land — $250 an acre, or $820,500, to buy the 3,282 acres being offered. But officials with J.P. King & Co. which conducted the auction said the bids were too low for the sellers to accept. Negotiations are continuing for a potential private sale.
The property is near the Grundy Forest State Natural Area and is protected from development by a conservation easement.
Mortgage rates hit 4-month low
Average U.S. rates on fixed mortgages fell for the second straight week and are at their lowest levels in four months. Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday the average rate on the 30-year loan declined to 4.10 percent from 4.13 percent last week. The average on the 15-year fixed loan eased to 3.20 percent from 3.24 percent.
Rates have been falling since September when the Federal Reserve surprised investors by continuing to buy $85 billion a month in bonds. The purchases are intended to keep long-term interest rates low.

It was lightly misting the day after Christmas and I was eager to try out my new monopod. It had rained in Carrizo Canyon the previous night and everything was still wet and damp and smelled so good! It stayed cloudy and dreary all day, but I didn't care...I just wanted some "outdoor" time. I stopped by the store and rented a carpet shampoo machine because...well, with three big dogs, you HAVE to shampoo your carpets...accidents DO happen! But, at this time, I was glad to be out in the canyon, which will close on January 1 while the bighorn sheep are lambing. I may not have a chance to return before then, so I wanted to see as much as I could on this day. That's My World for Tuesday, December 28, 2010.
My adventures in and near Deep Canyon, located near Palm Desert, CA and the pinyon mountains near it.

Regional College Football: 'Silly kid' becomes a force
Former Louisa High School football coach Mark Fischer was seeking a big target for his team when he spotted Kerry Wynn in the hallway.
This week, The Free Lance–Star is previewing the college football season. Here is the schedule:
Monday: Maryland
Tuesday: Virginia
Wednesday: Virginia Tech
THURSDAY: Regional schools
Friday: National preview
Fischer liked Wynn's then-6-foot-3 frame and figured the Lions basketball standout would transition well to the gridiron.
What transpired after the first encounter surprised even Fischer.
"It's one of those Cinderella stories," said Fischer, who is now the head coach at St. James High School near Myrtle Beach, S.C. "We thought he could play receiver, and we kept convincing him to take little steps. Before we knew it, we felt like he had an opportunity and the potential to be a force on the football field."
Wynn became an all-Jefferson District and all-Region II selection at linebacker and tight end. In 2009 he signed with the University of Richmond, the same program his uncle, James Smith, played safety for from 1987 to 1990.
Wynn began his career with the Spiders as a defensive end. But this season, he's been moved to defensive tackle.
The once-lean basketball player is now a menacing 6-foot-5, 260-pound interior lineman. He's slated to start for the Spiders in their season opener at Virginia on Saturday at 3 p.m.
"I think first of all he had a very productive preseason camp," Richmond first-year defensive line coach Levern Belin said. "He's demonstrated the ability to do some things that will help us be successful on the field."
Belin said that from watching past film it appears Wynn was often "manhandled."
He entered Richmond weighing 215 pounds. He was 235 pounds as a sophomore, before he made the jump to his current weight.
Last season, Wynn started all eight games he appeared in. He recorded 32 tackles, including seven for loss, and four sacks.
He was recently named a preseason second-team all-Colonial Athletic Association selection by Phil Steele magazine.
"I think being a year older and recognizing he needed to add body mass is really going to help Kerry," Belin said. "He has totally bought into the program. He's doing everything on his end to make sure he's giving us a chance to be successful."
Wynn was recruited to Richmond by current Virginia coach Mike London, who guided the Spiders to the 2008 national championship as their head coach.
Since Wynn entered the Spiders' program he's had three different head coaches (Latrell Scott, Wayne Lineburg and now Danny Rocco).
Fischer said London recruited Wynn as a potential outside linebacker in the 3–4 defense.
Wynn eventually outgrew that role, but Belin said he still has the athleticism he demonstrated when he was much smaller.
"He possesses all the athletic skills needed to not only play the position, but to excel at it," Belin said. "It's just a matter of when the chips are on the table if he's going to play up to his capabilities and utilize his talents. I'm anxiously awaiting kickoff [on Saturday] to see Kerry put his hand down on the grass."
Fischer saw enough of Wynn in action, even if it was for just two seasons. Wynn played youth football, but didn't try out for the Lions until his junior year.
Fischer said Wynn "was just a sweet, silly kid" whom the coaching staff often told his "blond roots are showing" whenever he goofed around.
"You get a handful of kids to coach in your career where the memory of coaching them will stay with you forever," Fischer said. "Kerry is one of those kids."

Washington, D.C. — Dave McCurdy, president and CEO of the American Gas Association, (AGA) today released the following statement regarding a study on shale development led by Professor Robert Howarth of Cornell University:
"It is unfortunate that Dr. Howarth's recent report on methane emissions is inaccurate, highly misleading and will only confuse those who are genuinely concerned about the role that natural gas can play in meeting our nation's energy needs and environmental goals. Lost among the inaccuracies and hyperbole are the real facts about natural gas.
By any measure, natural gas is the cleanest fossil fuel. When it comes to making smart choices to put America on the road to a cleaner, more energy efficient future, therefore, we cannot afford to let our thoughtful policy decisions be side-tracked by studies that bear no resemblance to reality.
The bottom line is that America has a tremendous amount to gain from increased domestic production of natural gas from shale. And, as stewards of the communities in which we live and work, the member companies of AGA and of the producing community are committed to the highest level of environmental stewardship with respect to producing shale gas. That is why we must keep the facts regarding natural gas front and center in discussing our energy future.
Let's start with the fact that, according to the Department of Energy (DOE), natural gas emits 45 percent less carbon dioxide than coal and 27 percent less carbon dioxide than oil, making it the best fossil fuel source available to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Further, when used directly in homes and businesses, 92 percent of the natural gas produced at the wellhead is delivered to customers as useable energy.
In addition, natural gas produces less sulfur dioxide, less nitrogen oxide and less particulate matter than coal or oil. And the Environmental Protection Agency states that natural gas has the smallest carbon footprint of any form of fossil fuel-based power generation.
What is more, the direct use of natural gas in America's homes and businesses is extremely efficient. It is a fact that although the number of residential households using natural gas increased from 38 million in 1970 to about 65 million today — an increase of more than 70 percent — both aggregate residential consumption and greenhouse gas emissions over that time have remained essentially flat.
Those are facts, and I encourage all of our policymakers throughout the country to thoroughly review them. Doing so will convince them that Dr. Howarth's report is replete with inaccuracies, misleading statements and erroneous conclusions."

Flash flood hits downtown South Pittsburg, Tenn.Heavy rains late Wednesday night and early Thursday morning brought flash flooding to downtown South Pittsburg, Tenn. The flooding, which left a layer of mud throughout downtown, damaged many area homes and businesses.
SOUTH PITTSBURG, Tenn. – In the aftermath of the July 10 flash flood here, city officials are applying for every type of funding they can to get help with the recovery.
So far, only one agency has offered South Pittsburg grant money, but that isn't a done deal yet.
Two weeks ago, officials with the Tennessee Housing Development Agency announced a $300,000 grant to aid in residential cleanup, but it requires a 50 percent match from the city.
Mayor Jane Dawkins said some things that already have been done, such as volunteer hours put in or other contributions to the city, that can serve as "value credit" toward the $150,000 needed to complete the grant stipulations.
A lot is still unknown about the details of the THDA grant, she said.
"We have no information yet on how that money is to be distributed," Dawkins said. "We know that it will be housing damage and not businesses. We don't know what the restrictions are regarding amounts, income level or any of those types of things."
Chuck Hammonds, director of community development for the Southeast Tennessee Development District, said his agency will manage the distribution of those funds whenever they are awarded to the city.
"Before they do that, remember that we have to come up with that $150,000 before we see a penny [of the grant money], and we don't have $150,000," Dawkins said.
City officials will list everything they can in order to meet the matching funds goal, she said.
Hammonds said there are special funds available through a U.S. Housing and Urban Development grant for which the city may be eligible.
"In that pot of money, there's a category called 'imminent threat,'" he said. "That's for something that is catastrophic, and that just happens on a whim. There is no set deadline as to when you can apply for those funds."
The HUD grant can be for up to $500,000, officials said, and would require a 9 percent match from the city, or about $45,000.
"For South Pittsburg, we can make a case, due to the flooding and damage, that it is in an imminent threat situation with roads, bridges, culverts and stuff like that," Hammonds said.
The city will apply for that money through the Tennessee Department of Economic & Community Development, officials said.
"It's not guaranteed," Hammonds said.
Dawkins said the THDA grant is the "first and only" government money the city has been presented or offered for recovery after the flood.
"We certainly appreciate that, but there's been nothing other than that," she said.

Cincinnati, OH
About the Talk: There are no shortage of major social problems in the world—the kind of challenges that evoke sadness and anger. But what can one person do, say, to help millions of people recover from a nation-breaking earthquake? In 2010, Tom de Blasis, IDSA sat in his office at Nike watching the devastation following Haiti's earthquake. He decided that he gave a damn and possessed unique skills that could be leveraged to help out. This is his story of how to use the horsepower of a corporate machine to help save the world a little bit.
About the Speaker: Tom De Blasis, IDSA is a global design director for Nike Football (soccer). Over the past 20 years, he has worked at Nike, ballydesign, IDEO, Philips and Hewlett-Packard. His adventures in experiential design and design research have lead him to shoot an illegal Belgian semi-automatic assault rifle, walk into a burning building in full firefighter turnout gear, go on a stakeout with a private detective and roam the tent cities of refugee camps. DeBlasis' latest creation is called The Gamechanger Bucket, a health and happiness kit for disaster areas and emerging communities all over the world.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Jared Berggren scored 13 points to lead four Wisconsin players in double figures and the 14th-ranked Badgers beat Savannah State 66-33 on Thursday night.
Playing for the last time before final exams begin, the Badgers (10-2) used runs of 11-0 and 11-2 in the first half to push their lead to 30-10 with 4 minutes left.
The Tigers (4-8) looked like they might give Wisconsin a challenge early in the second half. They cut the lead to 15 points twice, the last time at 41-26 with just under 14 minutes to go.
But Wisconsin poured it on from there, reeling off a 23-4 run over the next 12 minutes before coach Bo Ryan pulled all of his starters.
Cedric Smith and Arnold Lewis led the Tigers with eight points each.
Ryan Evans and Jordan Taylor both scored 12 points for the Badgers, while Josh Gasser had 10.

On Monday, we featured "senior" entrepreneurs, who also provided tips for those who would start a company in late middle age or beyond. And on Wednesday, entrepreneur Vivek Wadhwa revealed the age bias in Silicon Valley, and why it's nuts.

Metabolix is an innovation-driven bioscience company focused on delivering sustainable solutions to the plastics, chemicals and energy industries. We have core capabilities in microbial genetics, fermentation process engineering, chemical engineering, polymer science, plant genetics and botanical science, and we have assembled these capabilities in a way that has allowed us to integrate our biotechnology research with real world chemical engineering and industrial practice. In addition, we have created an extensive intellectual property portfolio to protect our innovations and, together with our technology, to serve as a valuable foundation for future industry collaborations.
The markets for petroleum-based plastics, chemicals and fuels are among the largest in the global economy. Issues associated with the prolonged use of petroleum-based products include plastic waste management and pollution, limited fossil fuel availability and price volatility, and global warming and climate change. We believe that a substantial global market opportunity exists to develop and commercialize our technology to produce sustainable, renewable alternatives to petroleum-based products including advanced biopolymers, biobased industrial chemicals and bioenergy.
Metabolix was formed to leverage the ability of natural systems to produce complex biopolymers from renewable resources. We have focused on a family of biopolymers found in nature called polyhydroxyalkanoates ("PHAs"), which occur naturally in living organisms and are chemically similar to polyesters. We have demonstrated the production of PHAs at the industrial scale to produce PHA biopolymers and biobased industrial chemicals, as well as production of polyhydroxybutyrate ("PHB"), a subclass of PHA biopolymer, in agriculturally significant crop plants.
From 2004 through 2011, we developed and began commercialization of our PHA biopolymers through a technology alliance and subsequent commercial alliance with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Archer Daniels Midland Company ("ADM"), one of the largest
agricultural processors in the world. Under the commercial alliance, ADM was responsible for resin manufacturing, and Metabolix was primarily responsible for product development, compounding, marketing and sales. Through this alliance, the companies established a joint venture company, Telles, LLC ("Telles"), to commercialize PHA biopolymer products.
After ADM terminated the Telles joint venture early in 2012, we retained significant rights and assets associated with the PHA biopolymers business, which are being used to launch the business using a new commercial model, continuing business operations, marketing biopolymer products, and identifying alternate manufacturing capability. We hold exclusive rights to the Metabolix technology and intellectual property used in the joint venture. We acquired all of Telles's product inventory and compounding raw materials totaling more than five million pounds, all product certifications and all product trademarks including MirelTM and MveraTM, and we retained all co-funded pilot plant equipment in locations outside of the Commercial Manufacturing Facility in Clinton, Iowa. In early 2012, we restructured the biopolymers business retaining a core team in our biopolymers group to provide continuity with technology, manufacturing process, and markets.
During 2012, we established Metabolix GmbH, a subsidiary located in Cologne,
Germany, to serve as a focal point for our commercial activities in Europe. This
cost effective location is intended to enable us to directly access the European
market, which is the largest for bioplastics. We also took steps toward
establishing a new commercial model for our PHA biopolymers business. We worked
closely with our core customers to supply product from existing inventory as a
bridge to new supply. We evaluated the potential applications for our biopolymer
products and narrowed our market development focus to three high value market
segments: (i) film and bag applications; (ii) performance additives; and
(iii) functional biodegradation. In March 2012, we began directly booking product sales and shipping product from inventory to our customers. During the second half of the year, we developed, sampled and launched two new products:
Mvera B5008, a compostable film grade, and I6001, a polymeric modifier for polyvinyl chloride.
During 2013, we are continuing to use existing inventory to develop the market and to supply new and existing customers. In the third quarter of 2013, we broadened our offering of film resins with the launch of Mvera B5010, a new certified compostable resin for film and bag applications. In October 2013, we launched I6003rp, a new polymeric modifier for recycled PVC and presented data at a technical conference supporting the use of this product in that application. We continue to explore alternative options to establish a new biopolymer manufacturing and supply chain properly sized to our business.
We are working to establish our own PHA supply chain. This captive capacity will be combined with access to additional biodegradable polymers sourced from third parties, which will allow us to formulate proprietary high-performance products for our target segments.
In March 2013, we entered into a supply agreement with China-based Tianjin GreenBio Materials, or TGBM, to buy various grades of PHA polymers that will extend the range and availability of our grades. We have been working with TGBM and its products for more than one year and have spent time on site in China. In May 2013, we completed an additional arrangement with TGBM, under which TGBM will be able to purchase and use our PHA biopolymer resins.
In July 2013, we formalized a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") with Samsung Fine Chemicals, a significant biopolymers industry player based in South Korea. Samsung is pursuing a similar strategy to Metabolix, offering a complementary product slate and complementary regional positioning. In terms of geographies, Metabolix is focused on the U.S. and Europe while Samsung has a strong market presence in Korea and across Asia. Metabolix has been working with Samsung on biodegradable polymers since early 2012. Under the MOU, we will work together with the goal of expanding the global market for biodegradable polymers. The products we will develop will be designed to deliver the best performance and value to targeted customer applications. Samsung and we have agreed to work together, but will fund our respective costs separately. The MOU does not represent a legally binding commitment by either party, and it may be terminated at any time without liability or obligations by either party.
For our second platform, we are developing C4 and C3 chemicals from biobased sources, as opposed to the fossil fuels that are currently used to produce most industrial chemicals today. Our process for creating biobased industrial C4 and C3 chemicals involves engineering metabolic pathways into microbes that, in a fermentation process, produce specific PHA structures that serve as precursors for the chemicals. Through our PHA technology, we are able to control the microbe biology to achieve high concentrations of specific, naturally-occurring PHA that accumulate inside cells as they metabolize sugars. This intracellular accumulation of the biopolymers inside the microbes is a unique and differentiating aspect of our technology. When the fermentation is completed, we use a novel internally developed recovery process known as "FAST" (fast-acting, selective thermolysis) that converts the biopolymer to the target chemical using heat.
In the C4 program, we have produced biobased gamma butyrolactone ("GBL") at industrial scale and demonstrated a chemical profile that meets or exceeds the existing industrial specifications. In 2012, we completed the preliminary design for a commercial
scale plant to enable production of biobased GBL and, through an established conversion process, butanediol ("BDO"). This plan, which could be implemented under a potential future collaboration, includes specifications for all of the components of our fermentation and recovery process. We believe that developing and commercializing biobased C3 chemicals could represent another attractive market for our technology. In 2011, we undertook a market analysis of the global market for acrylic acid, a C3 chemical, to assess the market participants, renewable technology competition, economics, intellectual property status, and end markets. In 2012, we continued scale up of fermentation and optimization of microbial strains to produce biobased C3 chemicals. We also successfully scaled up recovery of acrylic acid from dried biomass using the "FAST" process in our Cambridge laboratory. We also provided sample quantities of dried biomass for conversion to biobased acrylic acid for customer evaluation. We believe that strategic alliances will be required to commercialize C3 chemicals, and during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we continued to engage in partnership discussions.
In our third technology platform, we are harnessing the renewable nature of plants to make bioplastics, renewable chemicals and bioenergy from crops. The focal point of our plant technology efforts is around PHB, the simplest member of the broad PHA family of biopolymers. While applications for PHAs have focused mainly on their use as biodegradable bioplastics, these polymers have a number of other unique features that will allow their use in other applications, such as the production of chemical intermediates and their use as value-added animal feeds. We are creating proprietary systems to produce PHB in high quantity in the leaves of biomass crops or seeds of oilseed crops for these multiple applications.
Our work in crops highlights our leading edge capabilities and research targeting multi-gene expression and transformation of plants. Researchers at Metabolix have designed novel, multi-gene expression systems to increase production of PHB in plant tissue. The science behind this shift in metabolism is complex since the goal is to significantly increase production of PHB to be viable at industrial scale without impairing the ability of the plant to thrive in its natural environment. In 2011, Metabolix was awarded a $6 million grant by the U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE") to engineer switchgrass to produce 10 percent PHB, by weight, in the whole plant and to develop methods to thermally convert the PHB-containing biomass to crotonic acid and a higher density residual biomass fraction for production of bioenergy. During 2012, Metabolix was awarded four additional grants for leading-edge crop research targeting multi-gene expression and transformation of plants including important biofuel and food crops. Funding from these four grants is expected to total approximately $1.0 million and will run through 2014.
In 2013, we are continuing to identify additional sources of grant funding while we advance research under our existing grants, focused primarily on increasing PHB production in switchgrass and developing a thermal conversion process to recover crotonic acid. We may also seek to establish alliances with partners to commercially exploit this platform. We are in the process of capturing intellectual property gained in our work in crops and will be evaluating the possibilities of monetizing that intellectual property.
As of September 30, 2013, we had an accumulated deficit of $263,911 and total stockholders' equity was $28,203.
Collaborative Arrangements
We are not currently participating in any collaborative arrangements. Our historical strategy for collaborative arrangements has been to retain substantial participation in the future economic value of our technology while receiving current cash payments to offset research and development costs and working capital needs. By their nature, our collaborative agreements have been complex, containing multiple elements covering a variety of present and future activities.
ADM Collaboration
From 2004 through 2011, the Company developed and began commercialization of its PHA biopolymers through a technology alliance and subsequent commercial alliance with ADM Polymer Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of ADM. The Commercial Alliance Agreement between Metabolix and ADM Polymer specified the terms and structure of the alliance. The agreement governed the activities and obligations of the parties and included the establishment of a joint venture company, Telles, LLC ("Telles"), to market and sell PHA biopolymers, the construction of a manufacturing facility capable of producing 110 million pounds of material annually, the licensing of technology to Telles and to ADM, and the conducting of various research, development, manufacturing, sales and marketing, compounding and administrative services by the parties.
Under the Commercial Alliance Agreement, ADM was permitted, under limited circumstances, to terminate the alliance if a change in circumstances that was not reasonably within the control of ADM made the anticipated financial return from the project inadequate or too uncertain. The agreement provided that, upon termination by ADM due to a change in circumstances, we would be permitted to continue to produce and sell PHA biopolymers, and ADM would be required to perform manufacturing services for us for a period of time following the termination (subject to certain payment obligations to ADM). On January 9, 2012, ADM notified us that
it was terminating the commercial alliance effective February 8, 2012, citing the projected financial returns from the alliance were too uncertain.
Upon termination of the alliance, Metabolix intellectual property licenses to ADM Polymer and Telles ended, with Metabolix retaining all rights to its intellectual property. ADM retained its manufacturing facility located in Clinton, Iowa, previously used to produce PHA biopolymers for Telles. Also upon termination, contractual payments made to us by ADM during the term of the alliance totaling $38,885 and recorded as deferred revenue on the Company's balance sheet were immediately recognized during its fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2012, as the Company had no further performance obligations in connection with the alliance.
After termination of the Commercial Alliance Agreement, the parties entered into a Settlement Agreement in which the parties agreed to specific terms related to the winding up and dissolution of Telles. Under this Settlement Agreement, we purchased certain assets of the joint venture for $2,982, including Telles's entire inventory, exclusive and perpetual rights to all of Telles's trademarks, and all product registrations, certifications and approvals for Telles's PHA biopolymers. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, ADM relinquished any claims with respect to certain co-funded equipment previously acquired by Metabolix and situated at locations other than ADM's Clinton, Iowa manufacturing facility, and Metabolix and Telles waived any rights to post-termination manufacturing and fermentation services under the Commercial Alliance Agreement.
In February 2013, Telles was formally dissolved and ADM notified us that no trade or other obligations remain to be paid. As a result, we do not believe that the Company is contingently liable for any third party obligations stemming from the former ADM collaboration.
Government Grants
As of September 30, 2013, expected gross proceeds of $3,466 remain to be received under our United States, Canadian and German government grants, which includes amounts for reimbursement to our subcontractors, as well as reimbursement for our employees' time, benefits and other expenses related to future performance.
The status of our United States, Canadian and German government grants is as follows:

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition and stock-based compensation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The significant accounting policies used in preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 are consistent with those discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. The critical accounting policies and the significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 are consistent with those discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 in the section captioned "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments."
Results of Operations Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 Revenue Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 2012 Change Product revenue $ 265 $ 70 $ 195 Grant revenue 563 576 (13 ) License fee and royalty revenue 27 28 (1 ) Total revenue $ 855 $ 674 $ 181
Total revenue was $855 and $674 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we recognized $265 and $70, respectively, of product revenue related to the sale of biopolymer. The increase of $195 is primarily attributable to our implementation of a revised product revenue recognition policy during the third quarter of 2012 that deferred product revenue recognition and its associated cost of inventory until the later of sixty days or cash receipt. At September 30, 2013, short-term deferred revenue of $450 shown on the Company's balance sheet includes $174 of deferred product revenue, nearly all of which is expected to be recognized during the quarter ended December 31, 2013. During the three months ended September 30, 2013, we recognized $563 of government grant revenue compared to $576 for the respective period in 2012. Grant revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2013 primarily consisted of $345 in revenue earned from the Renewable Enhanced Feedstocks for Advanced Biofuels and Bioproducts ("REFABB") grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Energy in mid-2011. Revenue recorded from this grant for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $481.
We expect total revenue to substantially decrease during 2013 compared to 2012, due to the one-time recognition of the deferred revenue associated with the Telles joint venture in 2012. We anticipate that product revenue will increase during the next twelve months, as we continue to gain market acceptance for our products, although there will be fluctuations from quarter-to-quarter.
Costs and Expenses Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 2012 Change Cost of product revenue $ 459 $ 316 $ 143 Research and development 4,643 4,931 (288 ) Selling, general, and administrative 2,995 3,170 (175 ) Total costs and expenses $ 8,097 $ 8,417 $ (320 )
Cost of Product Revenue
Cost of product revenue was $459 and $316 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These costs primarily include inventory product costs of $261 associated with product revenue recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $43 in the comparable period in 2012. This increase is due to an increase in associated product revenue recognized. We also routinely evaluate inventory for impairment. During the three months ended September 30, 2013, we recorded a $46 charge to cost of product revenue for raw material and finished goods inventory that we determined was unlikely to be sold or converted to future sellable product based on customer demand and our current sales forecasts.
Although there will be fluctuations from quarter to quarter, we expect our overall cost of product revenue will continue to increase during the next twelve months, commensurate with our increasing product sales. In addition, cost of product revenue will increase as our lower cost inventory acquired from Telles is depleted and replaced with our new formulated high-performance products that have higher costs than the material acquired from Telles. We may also incur costs to produce inventory at small scale commercial manufacturing operations either on our own or with third parties. Due to the expected high per unit cost of these smaller scale manufacturing operations, any inventory costs in excess of our expected saleable market price will be immediately expensed as cost of . . .

Our friends to the north have decided to start easing the public into an ID card, which is being hailed as a more secure CareCard.
Here are the gory details:
Health Minister Mike de Jong announced last May the government was developing new CareCards, with improved security features, to combat the millions of dollars lost to health insurance fraud.
Those cards should be available in November, and will roll out over the next five years. They'll be free and mandatory for all British Columbians, requiring millions of people to re-enrol into the healthcare system. The project is expected to cost the government about $150 million.
People will also have the option of combining their new CareCard and driver's licence into one B.C. Services Card.
The new government cards will have embedded security chips, similar to certain credit cards that allow customers to wirelessly make purchases by touching or waving their credit card in front of a terminal.
The government's contract with SecureKey will develop B.C. card readers – key-sized devices that plug into a computer's USB port. People tap their new CareCard or Services Card onto the SecureKey reader and enter a PIN number on a government website, to authenticate their identity.
They go onto discuss how government services will not be included on the card but it's just a matter of time. This is just what I need, an all-in-one ID card to tap into the many wonderful government services that exist. Many fear these cards are just the beginning as a method to monitor everyone nationally and even internationally–as they could come to replace or co-exist with international travel and passports. One system, indistinguishable, for protection from ourselves for all.
The funny part of it all is that this was a no bid contract for SecureKey Technologies Inc., who apparently has the government on lock down for the ID monitoring technology. Check out what their website says though in a Press Release:
"We are thrilled to have been selected, through a competitive process, by the Government of Canada to provide this unique service", said SecureKey Technologies Inc, CEO Greg Wolfond, "This partnership between government and industry lays the foundation for an ecosystem that will offer increased choice and ease of use for consumers and businesses accessing secure online services."
A "competitive process" is the claim and "increased choice" for consumers is the ill-fated logic behind the power grab. Who believes this stuff?

|Curious George
|George-O-Matic/Curious George, Sheep Herder
|George is entranced by the museum's newest addition: a vending machine full of levers, wheels, springs, and healthy snacks! So when George is put in charge of making the dessert for an important dinner party, he can think of nothing better than creating his own dessert dispensing vending machine - the George-O-Matic. One tiny design flaw: George asks Gnocci the cat to motor the machine, causing it to go into overdrive.Educational Objective: To illustrate how many technologies are a result of the needs and wants of people and that the way people live and work has changed throughout history because of technology. To recognize that all products and systems are subject to failure. To demonstrate how a simple machine working with another simple machine results in a complex machine.George buys a cool new scarf at the Country Fair, but with one tug on a loose strand of wool, the entire scarf unravels! While searching for sheep that will give him some wool for another scarf, George accidentally whistles, which sends Bo the sheepdog and his flock of sheep on a wild adventure through the country. Can George whistle his way out of this mess or will his baaaaaad day turn even worse? Educational Objective: To learn something about the interactions between humans and domesticated animals, specifically sheep. To be introduced to the many processes involved in wool production and manufacture.

Luke 20:25He said to them, "Then give back to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's."Dwight Lee WolterTomorrow is tax day and the IRS wants our money. Many of us would "give back to Caesar what is Caesar's" if we only had it to give. Maybe we can spin straw into gold as in the tale of Rumplestiltskin. Remember? The king shuts a young woman in a tower with a pile of straw and demands she transform it into gold, which she does with the help of a creepy creature named Rumpelstilskin. A similar thing happens with alchemy. Practitioners of the ancient art of alchemy believed it was possible to transform base metals like lead into gold. Maybe we could try that too. Call the IRS and tell them they will get paid as soon as you spin straw and transform lead into gold. Sound crazy?Many early alchemy practitioners believed in the chemical transformation of lead into gold because they saw similar things happen in the human spirit. Martin Luther applauded alchemy for its consistency with Christian teachings. And in 1935, the psychiatrist, Carl Jung, first presented his work on psychological alchemy.Spiritual alchemy is when base elements - the "lead" within us - are transformed into "gold." Spiritual alchemy happens when dead parts in us come back to life; when spiritual blindness is transformed into sight; addiction is transformed into recovery; abuse into respect; disease into wellness; ignorance into enlightenment; fear into faith; and despair into hope.Spiritual alchemy is not rooted in magic creatures, fairy tales, chemistry, finance or doctrine. Spiritual alchemy is a transformation that is rooted in God. As you place your soul on the loom of Christ to be spun into gold by God, you may not become rich enough to pay your taxes, but you may be transformed into something more precious. Give to God what belongs to God, and let Caesar keep the change.PrayerGod, spin the straw within me into gold, so that I may place it on the altar.

NEW YORK Aluminum service centers are reporting a surplus of certain products, with lead times for some alloys as short as two-and-a-half months.
Lead times for non-aerospace 2000- and 7000-series plate are between 10 and 12 weeks, sources said, while lead times for 6000-series plate are around 11 weeks.
One service center source told AMM that "2000 and 7000 non-aero plate is out there and 6061 plate is quite plentiful, too. There seems to be a lot of material out there. Some distributors are sending out surplus lists. That tells you that (mills) arent moving product as fast as they thought they were and things are slow."
Service center sources also said that material is in surplus at mills and with traders.
"You can get 6000 in 10 to 12 weeks or less," a second service center source said. "Theres plenty of 6000 supply. Mills are calling asking if we need 6000 plate."
Lead times for aerospace 2000- and 7000- series alloys are unchanged at between three and five months, in slightly from six months seen earlier this year, and service centers maintain that those without contracts will have to wait to get the material.
"Its a tight market (for aerospace 2000- and 7000- series). If you dont have a contract youre in trouble," the second service center source said.
"If youre buying 2000- and 7000-series aerospace (without a contract) its still subject to inquiry," the first service center source said.
Service centers are keen to keep stock levels low in light of the looming fiscal cliff, although those polled by AMM believe President Obama and Congress will find a solution.
Kaiser Aluminum Corp. chairman, president and chief executive officer Jack Hockema told AMM last week he was confident that lean inventories could help service centers weather the storm even if no resolution comes by year-end and the United States. enters a recession (amm.com, Nov. 21).
Until the fiscal cliff picture becomes clear, it is hard to gauge what demand will look like next year, although for the moment, sources expect it to be reasonably level.
"Demand next year will be fairly flat. I think the U.S. economy will keep (chugging) along, doing its thing," the second service center source said. "Theres a lot of cautiousness out there."
"I just dont know how to gauge (2013) right now. Id say modest growth," the first service center source said.

State Fair deal to close Friday?
Friday is a Tennessee-based company's last day to close on the State Fair of Virginia property in Caroline County without seeking an extension from creditors in the bankruptcy case.
But it remains unclear whether Mark Lovell's Universal Fairs will close on the property Friday, or whether the company might have a partner in the purchase.
The Virginia Farm Bureau Federation, which describes itself as "Virginia's largest farmers' advocacy group," is negotiating with Lovell to partner on the deal, confirmed organization spokesman Greg Hicks.
The Virginia Farm Bureau, which has more than 150,000 members, has long sponsored the state fair. Hicks said in an email that his organization would partner with Lovell "if the negotiations are to both parties' likings." He said he couldn't say whether the deal will close Friday.
Lovell's company, which puts on a variety of U.S. festivals including the Georgia State Fair, submitted the winning bid for the 331-acre Meadow Event Park and the rights to run the fair at a May 22 bankruptcy auction. The $5.67 million purchase price includes a 6 percent commission for Motley's Auction & Realty Group.
Lovell was given 45 days to close on the property under the terms of the auction, and Friday is the expiration. He could pay the creditors in the bankruptcy case $150,000 for a 45-day extension.
The Meadow Event Park is near the Hanover County line and Kings Dominion. It's been the Virginia fair's home since 2009. State Fair of Virginia Inc., the previous fair operator, filed for bankruptcy late last year.
Lovell has started planning this year's fair, which is scheduled Sept. 28 through Oct. 7. He has detailed big plans for the Meadow Event Park, including three-day music festivals, bike rallies, trade shows, weddings, horse events, banquets and corporate meetings.
Lovell could not be reached for comment Thursday.

Another pilot successfully landed the airplane in a farm field after an inadvertent engine stoppage earlier in the day. The accident pilot/owner responded to the field to recover the airplane with a flight instructor and a mechanic, and was met there by an FAA inspector. The airplane was deemed airworthy, and the pilot announced his plan to takeoff from the unlit field at night. The FAA inspector, the flight instructor, and the mechanic all attempted to dissuade the pilot from his plan, but he attempted the takeoff after the inspector left the scene, 41 minutes after civil twilight. According to the flight instructor, "He was at full throttle the whole time. He pitched up, and never lowered the nose. He drug the tail the whole time. He was at full throttle and went up over a barn, hit a sign, went over the road, under the power lines, up an embankment, and down in the field." The airplane bounced in the field, struck the right wing, then nosed into the ground, and came to rest. The engine was at full power the entire time, and the engine stopped when the propeller struck the ground. Immediately after the accident, the pilot told the FAA inspector that the accident resulted from his "poor soft field technique." He later told the Safety Board that the engine lost power during takeoff. After the accident, the engine started immediately, accelerated smoothly, and ran to full power without interruption on the airframe. When the flight instructor was asked if he had endorsed the pilot's plan for takeoff, he responded, "No. We all discussed it, but he's pig-headed, you can't tell him anything. The FAA inspector told him not to do it, but he said, 'It's my airplane, and it's airworthy. I'm taking off.' I told him that he could go the opposite way, or we could take the wings off and truck it out of there. From my perspective, he did the procedure completely wrong."
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:
