"Mother love is the fuel that enables a normal human being to do the impossible."
– Marion C. Garretty
The role of motherhood has dramatically changed over the last 100 years. During much of the 18th and 19th centuries, women did not do much outside of the home. A woman's success was measured by her ability to care for her family and maintain order in the home. She was the center of the family, and all of her duty was fundamental to her roll as the mother.
Carol Costello Casey, grandmother to the local Curran surfing family, was a full-time working mother and loved every minute of it.
"There was nothing like watching my children grow," she said. "Nothing is more important in life than being a mother. I've been fortunate to have three wonderful children, eight grandchildren and six great-grandchildren, and I greatly treasure each and every one of them."
A native of Boston, Casey left at 18 after she married a marine. The young couple lived in North Carolina and Florida, and then made their way to the San Fernando Valley, eventually ending up here in Ventura County.
Though working full-time was less common during Casey's early years of motherhood, she managed to work and successfully raise three kids. Even with a full-time job, Casey always focused on the family and diligently strived to nurture her kids.
"I'm so proud of my kids and how they have raised their own families. It's been humbling to watch the legacy of this family continue to develop," Casey said.

who is the mother of Timmy, Nathaniel, Joshua and Taylor Curran.
Casey admits that being grandmother to the famed surfer Timmy Curran was exciting, but it did not ever take away from her love and devotion to any of the other grandkids.
"All my grandkids are the same in my eyes. Each have unique personalities, talents and abilities, and I'm forever proud of them all," Casey said.
It was fun to pick up a magazine and see her grandson's face on the cover.
"What amazed me the most with Timmy is that his personality never changed," she said. "He was this funny, happy-go-lucky, normal kid, who was making a lot of money and gaining a lot of popularity in the surf world. I credit his stability to his parents — they did a great job of raising Timmy and the three other boys. Joshua works in the television industry, Nathaniel is also a pro surfer, and Taylor, who has recently graduated from high school, is also competitively surfing.
"Timmy's break happened when surfing was just taking root and the sport was being appreciated for the sport itself — the timing was right. It's hard to fathom that I have a celebrity for a grandson because I don't think of him that way. He's my first grandson, and like all the others, he holds a special place in my heart."
"Mothers work so hard," she continued. "I think all of the expectations that surround motherhood makes it all the more challenging to raise a family in today's world. I admire mothers today who can juggle the responsibilities of home life, work and all of the extra activities and do a great job of raising a family."
Even though the dynamics today have become more intense, Casey believes that a child's behavior and how it develops in life are very dependent on family life. "After all, family life is all you have. It's the only thing that you have that really belongs to you."
It's complicated …
Because most families require two incomes, life has grown a little more complicated.
"My advice to working moms is to have quality time together around the dinner table. Turn off the television, set the cell phones aside, and spend time talking as a family together — listen to one another," Casey said.
Even though life was busy for Casey, sharing a weekly meal together became a family routine.
"I think it's important to establish that pattern when they're young. With the world going at a much faster pace, there are a lot of distractions today; but if a mother will make this a priority, her kids will thank her later," she said.
While women still share the experience of pregnancy and endure the pains of labor, the life of today's mother is complicated. In fact, nowadays a mother needs to be a multitasking proficient.
Amanda Armitage at Disney's California Adventure with her twin sons.
Amanda Armitage is the full-time IT director for John Muir Charter School and the president of Ventura County Mothers of Multiples (VCMOM), a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization that offers support for parents of twins or higher order multiples. The organization was originally founded in October 1952 as the Ventura Mothers of Twins Club.
Armitage's involvement with VCMOM is interesting, particularly because she never really wanted children.
"My husband and I weren't going to even have kids, but we enjoy life and thought it would be fun to procreate!" she said.
Amanda and her husband, Jesse, are also comedians who do competitive improv at Ventura Improv Company (VIC). The couple met at VIC, and when she was pregnant with twins, she performed in a contest at VIC and won.
There are two ways you can look at having dual births: Double trouble or a double blessing.
"Finding out I was pregnant with twins was exciting but sobering. When Jesse and I saw the ultrasound together, all my husband could do was cuss repeatedly," Armitage said. They quickly began to realize that things would significantly change — starting with dual car seats, a different car and a new place to live. The list kept growing.
"Today, we are very much hands-on parents, and Jesse is extremely involved," she said. "I have an awesome, rockin' husband that helps out! Our fraternal twin boys just turned 7 on March 24th, which is also their dad's birthday."
Even though Armitage never felt like the motherly type and did not plan on walking down this path, she's happy with their decision.
"I'm so glad I didn't miss out on being a mom. It's so crazy — the minute they were born I felt so connected. No one can possibly prepare you for this kind of bonding. You really don't understand this until it happens. Once you see your baby for the first time, you're a gonner! It's instinctive!"
"I love being a mom. I work full time, and I have a husband, but my boys come first. You really don't need a lot of 'stuff' to be a good mom. Just get down with them. Spend that little bit of extra time with them," Armitage said.
At the VCMOMS, Armitage likes to encourage new moms. She believes today's moms put too much pressure on themselves by wanting to do everything right, and it can wear a person out. "In the end, that isn't good for yourself or for your children."
The American Sociological Review posted a recent study about the busyness of working mothers.
"Working mothers spend significantly more time multitasking at home than working dads. And those mothers aren't happy about it," the report stated. According to the research, which was performed at Michigan State University, a large percentage of working mothers were on "overdrive." Sociologist Barbara Schneider co-authored the research paper revealing that the mothers experienced a lot of stress and strain from the time they walked in the door each evening.
It is true that working mothers have numerous obstacles to face. Learning how to manage the home front, corral children and stay on top of a work schedule is no easy task. Often times, moms need support, especially if they are new mothers with unusual circumstances.
Becoming a mother has given Armitage a greater appreciation of mothers. It is the bigger reason why she has become so involved with VCMOMS. "I just want to be the voice of encouragement to other mothers — those who are blessed with multiple births — letting them know that they're not alone."
Being a new mom is exhausting, but even more so when you have multiple births. "It's not just exhausting, but it can be emotionally challenging. The responsibility of making the right decisions for a mom and your newborn babies can be daunting," Armitage said.
Armitage encourages other mothers to embrace diversity and not to be so hard on themselves. "Don't be afraid to be yourself," she said.
Life-long Ventura County resident, Tori Hall is also the mother of identical twins girls. Izzi and Nickey Hall turned 4 in March. Tori is a single mom.

"There is no family history of twins in either my family or my ex-husband's, and it is safe to say I was in total shock when I found out I was having twins. I had no idea how I would adjust to that," Hall said.
"I'm five feet three inches and very tiny. I had a lot of complications. At 20 weeks, I was put on bed rest and could not go back to work. It was a very stressful pregnancy," said Hall. She had a medical disorder that caused her cervix to shrink during the pregnancy, and there was a serious risk she might lose fetuses.
"I ended up going through a divorce when my girls were a little over a year old. That would be hard enough with one baby, but with two … it was nothing short of exasperating, and something needed to change," Hall said.
It takes a village
"My ex-husband and I planned on starting a family, and we were excited about it, but you're never quite ready for double duty. Learning to go back to work and not having a partner at home was really challenging," Hall said. It took time for Hall to find a happy medium, but she attributes any success she's had to her "village."
"I'm grateful for my village, which encompasses grandmothers, family members, friends, my daycare support and my ex-husband, who has been tremendously supportive," Hall said.
Mothers today have to be more than prepared. Juggling the balance is not easy. There is pressure from the work front.
"You know, we're supposed to be there and focused, but when your kid is home sick with a fever, it makes it hard to give 100 percent. Being a working mom is hard. I don't even believe that women were ever made to do all of this while raising kids. It's not an easy task. I've been fortunate enough to have understanding supervisors, but that's not always the case," Hall said. She never takes a normal lunch break. Her lunch hour consists of running errands, going to the grocery store and taking care of family-related business.
"I can't even describe how fortunate I feel being allowed to have these two little girls." Motherhood enthralls Hall, and she wants to take it all in and cherish each day with them.
News of the Boston bombings has been very hard for her to watch. "I can't really watch it. That kind of sadness and loss, especially the loss of a child, is just far too overwhelming."
Hall focuses on the here and now, realizing the impact that it will have on her kids later.
"My kids are at formidable ages. I'm always trying to teach them ways to communicate and teach them whom they can trust — like firemen, policemen or anyone in uniform like their dad, who is a tech sergeant in the Air National Guard."
Having identical twins holds particular challenges. She strives daily to make sure her girls realize that they are distinctive and individual, and that includes her monitoring the way they dress. Hall purposefully does not dress them identically because she wants them to develop independently of each other.
"My advice for single moms — get a village. It will make life a lot easier. Don't think you have to do this all alone. Motherhood is hard. You need help, so embrace it," Hall said.
The mothers of the 21st century have come a long way, and there is no doubt that the grandmothers of yesterday might find the barrage of multitasking requirements a bit challenging, if not overwhelming, but there is one thing that unites the young and the old — motherhood. It is what connects all life, even in the midst of a complicated and imperfect world. It is where the imperfect is perfectly wonderful.

Three candidates running for New Bern mayor were at the Craven County Board of Elections early Monday morning to file for the October election.
Three candidates running for New Bern mayor were at the Craven County Board of Elections early Monday morning to file for the October election.
Dana Outlaw, alderman of Ward 6, was standing outside of the Board of Elections office before it opened waiting to file for mayor, while Sabrina Bengel, alderman of Ward 1, arrived outside to announce her candidacy for mayor. Edwin Vargas, a civilian employee at Cherry Point air station, filed a little later in the morning.
Outlaw off and running
Outlaw said he planned to run a grassroots campaign, going door-to-door and holding rallies to see what citizens wanted from their local government, although he has been representing the public for two terms (eight years) and felt he already knew that they wanted to see government run cheaper while providing more services at less expense.
One example of listening to the citizens, Outlaw said, would be over housing issues, referring to the Housing Authority complexes.
�My idea is more of a business model plan,� Outlaw said. �If you cannot get the residents of a given area involved in your plan and you are not giving them a voice � I don�t see how you are going to pull off whatever you try to do if you don�t get the citizens involved in it.�
Outlaw said, with aldermen and public meetings, those plans could be accomplished by reaching common ground and compromising. He said he was ready to tackle difficult issues.
�It�s easy to go out and build a new fire station and (buy) a new fire truck and hire 20 new people,� Outlaw said. �But the truth is that�s the easy part of being in office, to pat people on the back, get them a new job and build them a new building. The hard part is to say in these economic times we�ve got to build these things and go plunder the money of these water, electric, sewer enterprise funds. �Where is a 10-year plan to get New Bern off of these enterprise funds?
It is no longer cheap to run those departments with all of the regulations in place today, Outlaw said.
�So you can�t be plundering those funds,� he said. �We�ve still got that same mindset �Well lets just go pull money out of those funds.� You�ve got to figure a new way of doing business. �There are too many government restrictions and expenses on doing business.�
The city should be run independently of the enterprise funds, Outlaw said.
�My position is that the city of New Bern is not financially well; that the city needs to quit charging general fund items to these operations.�
Outlaw said his campaign will be about accountability of his voting record and those of his challengers also running for mayor.
�New Bern has to be more careful with the citizens� assets, such as, voting to give 240,000 gallons of sewer to a developer that turns around and asks the city of Havelock to annex his project, while at the same time denying much needed commercial activity along Highway 70 near New Bern sewer for development,� Outlaw said in a press release. �New Bern needs to go back to the original owner of the James City sewer and partner a Metro Sewer District.�
Bengel makes her bid
Bengel, surrounded by family members and supporters, kicked off her campaign with the slogan: �Leadership You Can Trust,� and said she felt comfortable and confident in her decision to run for mayor.
�My track record shows that I have consistently utilized my leadership skills to promote New Bern�s economic growth by supporting small business, encouraging tourism, and advocating for effective city government policies,� Bengel said in a press release. �You can trust that I will do the same as mayor of this wonderful city.�
During a press conference on the sidewalk in front of the Board of Elections, Bengel said she was ready for the challenges of representing New Bern as mayor.
�I decided to run because of my passion, my commitment, I�m engaged and I think the time is right,� Bengel said. ��I worked really hard in the community prior to being an alderman and there were certain things I just couldn�t get done without having that seat at the table; and I got that seat at the table.�
Bengel said she has worked hard for the three and half years she has served on the board.
�Now, to really get some more things done that I need to do, I need a seat at the mayor�s table,� she said. �That�s why I feel that it�s important that I take this opportunity and run.�
Bengel said as mayor she would hope to set expectations.
�The real work is done by the Board of Aldermen,� she said. �Each alderman is responsible for their ward and working in that ward. I look at the mayor as the facilitator to bring all that together in a leadership role.�
Her expectations are for aldermen to be prepared at meetings and to conduct themselves in a proper manner in the community; and although not every one on the board should always agree, she wanted to see aldermen working more closely with city staff on issues as a team.
�New Bern is the jewel I see in the East,� she said. �We are the crown of North Carolina. We are one of those jewels, and we need to step up and help promote economic growth, look at the issues that we have at hand and really go to work and I�ve been working, I�m ready to go to work and I will work as mayor.�
Vargas outlines campaign
Vargas� run for mayor will be his first campaign for public office.
�I want us to talk about the issues and how we can move forward,� Vargas said. �The city of New Bern is due that from elected officials.�
Vargas said he is also running on transparency. When a citizen asks for information from elected officials or at City Hall, they should be given the information, he said.
�I think the city should not have been so aggressive as far as their plans for spending money,� Vagas said.
Savings the city made at the beginning of the first two budget years of the current Board of Aldermen were reflected by a cut in the number of city employees, cutting employees� health benefits and raising taxes in 2012, Vargas said.
�I would take real small steps with how we spend money in the future,� he said. �I would like any of the aldermen running for mayor to tell the citizens of New Bern they are going to have to raise taxes.�
The taxes would have to be raised to provide large capital items in the future that include a new fire station, employees, elevator and ramp for City Hall, remodeling a fire station, he said.
�They are spending money like a sailor with an open credit card,� he said. ��I�m a fiscal conservative. I want to make sure tax money is spent wisely. If I find areas to save money and help the city employees with their health benefits that would be a priority for me.�
Vargas said he wants to run a clean campaign and has already told other mayoral candidates there should be �no trash talk� during the election process.
�We�ll let the citizens decide,� he said. �It is time for calmness at City Hall, respect between aldermen, rather than looking like they are not working together.�
Incumbent Mayor Lee Bettis is not seeking re-election.

Editor's Note: Second life. It can represent a chance to do over. To reset and refocus your life. To shake off the past and give yourself an opportunity to change and grow. In our series, Second Life, we took a look at how those in the small business world, out of necessity or desire, reach beyond their comfort zones to re-create themselves and their world. These stories celebrate those who saw potential in being something else or creating something that wasn't and were brave enough to take the plunge into the deep, dark waters of entrepreneurship.
TRURO - As Downtown Truro has grown and evolved over the years, two legendary buildings have taken on a second life in a very different form.
While the old Warehouse Bars buildings haven't changed much on the outside, the sights and sounds of the once booming nightlife hotspot has been replaced by hot coffee, hot shaves, new age learning and extreme sports.
"These buildings are legendary because of all the stuff that has passed through them," said Mitch Cooke.
"They are built like a fortress with the old wooden beams, and would be really hard to rebuild or replicate them again."
Cooke had moved his skate shop, H.A.F. Skate and Tattoo, into the former Kegger's location after he purchased the property last year.
In need of more space for his shop, he chose the buildings not only because of its space, location, and history, but also because of opportune timing.
"Everything kind of fell into place with it," said Cooke.
"We had to jump through a lot of red tape to get into the place, but it was all about opportunity. When we decided to move, the building came up for sale at the right time and seemed like the right fit."
Cooke also moved his other company Jimolly's Bakery Café into the property, taking over the former location of The Loft.
"The idea was to buy the building and put it all under one roof. We had a lot more space and no longer paying rent was nice," he said.
Before Cooke purchased the corner properties, they were a large part of the Truro nightlife, housing three different bars including Chevy's Bar, Rustlers Cabaret, and Kegger's Alehouse, as well as The Loft later on.
Mitch Cooke, owner of H.A.F. Skate and Tattoo and co-owner of Jimolly's Bakery, purchased the Warehouse Bars buildings after he began looking for a new storefront for his shop. Remaining downtown was important to him, as he sees it as the spot to be for businesses like his.
Sharing the corner with H.A.F. and Jimolly's is Sunstone Academy, a private elementary school.
The Tweed Suit, a traditional barbershop offering old school hot towel and straight razor shaves, is also located in a section of the Warehouse Bars building.
Staying in the downtown area was important for Cooke, as the area carries the same vibe and feeling as his shop, something that is missing in the more industrial area of Robie Street.
"Downtown is where it's at, its way cooler," he said,
"Out near Robie Street, it is all drive-through traffic. Trying to get out of there sucks, and we aren't trying to compete with the mall. Malls have no character, which is what we wanted - character."
Being in business for almost a decade, Cooke has watched the downtown area grow and develop with his business, bringing in more events and stores to the area, and shifting towards a more youthful approach.
"The town is starting to do a lot of stuff now, lots of events," he said.
"Some of their ideas don't suit us at all, such as seniors' expos and stuff like that, but they are trying to cater to everybody as best they can. I think the town is trying really hard to make this place a progressive, hip town and I'm all on board."
What once used to be a pub full of tables, chairs and a bar has since been replaced by popular streetwear, skateboards and snowboards, extreme sports gear and a collection of antique bikes. H.A.F. has racks of the most popular skateboarding and motocross gear, new boards for both concrete or snow, and even has a tattoo parlour inside.

Read on to find out more about the latest technologies available for this screen-printing specialty.
By Harald Gavin
High-quality, direct-screen-printed images add appeal to glass or plastic containers and bottles, as well as a variety of tubular products. For those who market beverages, cosmetics, and personal-care products, maximum shelf impact is critical, and well-executed decorations are an ideal way to attract attention to their goods. Print buyers in these markets look for images that feature more colors, higher resolutions, and very accurate color-to-color registration (Figure 1). In many cases, they also want to use bottles and containers with sophisticated shapes.
Satisfying these demands poses a continuous challenge for screen printers, especially with the large run lengths that such jobs frequently entail. But manufacturers of screen-printing equipment have answered by developing advanced, new machines for printing on three-dimensional items. These systems enable screen printers to excel in their competitive markets and meet their customers' needs.
In this article, we'll look at the latest generation of screen-printing equipment for containers and other 3-D products. The discussion highlights two families of machinery: mechanically driven presses for printing at very high production speeds and servo-based units for printing onto a wide range of complex-shaped containers. We'll consider the basic functions of these devices and explore the innovative features that can be found in both types of equipment.
Mechanically driven presses
The latest improvements to container and 3-D screen-printing machines were helped by advances in mesh materials, mesh weaving, coating materials, squeegees, and inks—especially UV inks. These developments make it possible to print at high speeds without losing fine details and without significant wear to screens and squeegees that would necessitate frequent machine stops to replace these components.

Arobust agricultural economy has been good for the companies that supply seed, fertilizer and equipment. As a result, stock prices of several agricultural-related companies have seen significant increases, even as talk of a general economic slowdown has put pressure on the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
Consider this: If you had bought $1,000 in Monsanto stock on January 4, 2006, you could have sold it for $3,534.41 on June 18, 2008. A $1,000 investment in Mosaic stock on January 4, 2006, was worth $10,393.80 on June 18, and $1,000 of stock in Deere and Company grew to $2,292.85. By comparison, $1,000 of Exxon Mobile stock purchased on January 4, 2006, was worth $1,507.04 on June 18.
"In general, the investment community is looking favorably to the agricultural sector," says Sam Halpert, senior analyst with Van Eck Global. "The earnings momentum from the ag sector is working well."
Lynn Henderson, publisher of AgriMarketing magazine, has tracked agricultural sector stocks, and in a portfolio he keeps of 28 company stocks in the agriculture sector — seed, fertilizer, animal health and chemical — the portfolio's return since its inception on January 1, 2006, has been an impressive 113%. "And if you take out the underperforming animal health stocks, the performance would have been even greater," he says.
Here's a look at the recent earnings of several ag companies:
In a report of Monsanto's third quarter results, the company's Chairman, President and CEO Hugh Grant said, "Backed by continued growing demand for our products, the first nine months of our fiscal year has been remarkable and we're now increasing our full-year guidance. This strong growth sets up a solid foundation for our business and to reach our target of more than doubling gross profit in 2012."
Seed, fertilizer on top
Monsanto reported record net sales of $3.6 billion for the third quarter of fiscal year 2008, which were 26% higher than sales in the same period in fiscal year 2007. Net sales in the company's first nine months of fiscal year 2008 resulted in year-to-date sales of $9.5 billion, which were 35% higher than sales in the same period last year.
Monsanto's net income for the third quarter of fiscal year 2008 was $811 million, or 42% higher than net income in the same period last year. For the first nine months of fiscal year 2008, net income was 83% higher than net income in the same period last year.
Syngenta's revenues have increased from $6.3 billion in 2001 to $9.2 billion last year. "Syngenta's ADR [American Depository Receipt] stock growth of more than 600% since the company's creation reflects the growing interest and confidence of its stockholders, who want to see innovation, creativity and responsiveness to the marketplace as well as exceptional financial management," says Jennifer Gough, head of investor relations for Syngenta. In 2007, crop protection sales were up 11% at $7.3 billion, and seed sales were up 12% to $2 billion. The company's stock has seen an increase of more than 66% over the past 12 months.
The Mosaic Company is anticipating "robust fourth quarter results in fiscal 2008 as strong demand and the tight supply situation continues for crop nutrients," according to Jim Prokopanko, president and CEO of Mosaic.Investor attraction
- Agrium in early June announced that it expects to earn between $2.80 to $3.00 diluted earnings per share in the second quarter of 2008, or $4.03 to $4.23 for the first half of 2008. "Our excellent results are due to strong performance from both our retail and wholesale operations, which is particularly impressive given that the North American spring application season has been hampered by excessively cold and wet weather this year," says Mike Wilson, Agrium president and CEO. "Continued strong global crop prices have created unprecedented demand for crop inputs and we foresee an extended demand-driven cycle."
- Although accounting for only 7% of The Dow Chemical Company's sales, the Dow AgroSciences division is basking in record profits. According to presentations by Jerome Peribere, president and CEO of Dow AgroSciences, the compound annual growth rate in sales was 6% from 2001 to 2007, while earnings before interest and tax saw a compound annual growth rate of 23% during that same period. In the first quarter of 2008, sales in the division grew 27%, an all-time record quarter.
- With Bayer CropScience sales approximately 20% of Bayer Group sales, it is difficult to separate the effect of the booming ag industry on the company''s share price, according to Friedrich Berschauer, chairman of the board of management for Bayer CropScience AG. "While the main investor focus lies in the HealthCare part of the portfolio, Bayer CropScience results make an important contribution to the overall value of Bayer AG shares," he says. "During recent months we have recognized an increasing interest on CropScience topics by our investors and analysts, and some upside is seen in the valuation of this part of our business."
Caution warranted
On the equipment side, earnings per share for Deere and Company were up 28% for the second quarter of 2008, and net sales and revenues were up 18% to a quarterly record. For the first six months of the year, net income was $1.133 billion, compared with $862.3 million last year.
Deere's agricultural sales increased 34% for the first half of the year, boosting operating profits to $1.114 billion, compared with $624 million for the same period last year. Deere expects that a continued strong global ag market will boost worldwide sales of agricultural equipment by about 35% for all of 2008.
At CNH, first quarter net income was $112 million, compared to net income of $95 million in the prior year, which according to CNH President and CEO Harold Boyanovsky, was the ninth consecutive quarter of year-over-year improvement. The company expects the agricultural equipment market to remain above 2007 record levels.
Within the general rosy picture in agriculture, there are the "haves" and "have nots," according to Halpert, the analyst at Van Eck Global. "The 'haves' are definitely the fertilizer and seed sectors," he says. "More specifically, fertilizer stocks are unbelievable. Prices are very high, and they seem like they are too high, but I only see lower corn prices making them come down, and I don't see that this year."
That's barring some unforeseen macro economic factors, such as a worldwide economic slowdown or change in the U.S. dollar's value. Or a simple market adjustment might lower prices in that sector.
The seed market is also strong, even though "stocks in that sector are not cheap," Halpert says. "But that sector is showing that it can deliver higher-yielding products, and I don't think that is going to change."
The machinery sector, while having shown general strength over the past few years, is also grappling with a surge in input costs, especially for steel, which has doubled in price in six months. "I don't know how equipment manufacturers are going to pass along such a large steel price increase," Halpert says. "And even though the five-year returns have been good, the sector could struggle to maintain the good returns."
Michael Boehlje, distinguished professor in the Department of Agricultural Economics at Purdue University, says it's not surprising that agriculture is appealing to the investment market. "You see a lot of interest in agriculture, because it has good income and good profits — all those things that draw investors to a sector," he says.
In the 1970s, strong commodity and land prices drew investments to agriculture. "But then we ended up with increased production and saw lower prices. A lot of those strong prices eroded, and interest in land waned," Boehlje says.
Fundamentally, the agriculture sector is cyclical in nature. "That is common with most commodity and natural resource industries," he adds. "That spills over into the companies that provide support for those commodities."
Better stock prices translate into additional money for capital investments in agriculture, added incomes for the sector, better profits for input supply companies, and more value across the value chain. "The immediate impact through the production end of the value chain is pretty positive — if you happen to be in the grains market," Boehlje explains. "The immediate impact if you're in the animal protein production market is exactly the opposite."
Will the euphoria in certain sectors of the agricultural market be maintained? Perhaps, but one should tread cautiously. One area of concern is profit margins. "We have excess profit margins compared to normal in much of the agriculture sector," Boehlje says. "I'm not trying to be a pessimist, but I would be cautious about expecting the agriculture sector to have eliminated the fundamental cycles in the commodities industry or have gone to an environment where we can maintain margins that are abnormally high for a long period of time."
And the implications of narrowing profit margins will have a direct impact on the performance of agricultural stocks. "Investor money is not very patient capital," Boehlje says. "And it's not loyal to any one sector. It will move. You don't have to look very far back in the history of other industries." For instance, the dot.com market saw tremendous gains, only to be wiped out when those stocks fell out of favor. "And at some point, commodities may not be as attractive," he says.
Not so long ago, machinery and fertilizer stocks limped along, and quarterly reports saw a lot of red ink. But for now, ag stocks are very attractive. And company reports forecast additional growth. For example, in a report to investors, Monsanto forecasts that its gross profits from seeds and genomics will reach $6.5 billion to $7 billion by 2012, compared to the fiscal year 2008 targets of $3.6 billion to $3.7 billion in the same sector.
"Driven by the growing demand for food, feed, fiber and fuel, the agriculture industry is currently enjoying a favorable market environment," says Berschauer from Bayer CropScience. "Prices for key crop commodities are expected to remain high, and growers are willing to invest more on inputs, including crop protection products and seed."

Is there a halachic reason that there is no Kosher boxed wine on the market? Is there something about a boxed wine or the plastic container that prevents kosher wine from being stored in there?
I couldn't find any available, and I couldn't come up with a Halachic reason that it wasn't possible. The basis of the question is storage, and I can advise on how to prolong that, but I can't answer the basic questions. I appreciate any insight.

|KWalletManager manages some of your passwords in an encrypted file - but Kgpg does not use Kwallet, neither does firefox.
KWalletManager is an optional tool which can greatly assist your work-flow while maintaining security.
A right-click, context menu on the wallet in kwalletmanager offers maintenance options:
Clicking (or in some versions, double-clicking) on a wallet allows you to examine the contents of a wallet. From here you can remove any entries that you do not wish to be further controlled by the wallet. A further advantage is that it is possible to examine the passwords for individual entries - particularly useful if you have mis-typed a password and stored it. These activities remain secure, since they are only available after you have given the passphrase.
|For greater security configure KWalletManager to use one wallet for local passwords and a separate one for network passwords and form data.
Some apps, e.g. octopi, offer multiple options for password entry, e.g. gksu besides kdesu. gksu then offers to store a password, say the root password, in the gnome-keyring to save you the bother of repeated entering of the password in short intervals of time. That gnome keyring is a "wallet" separate from the KDE-wallet. Another separate "wallet" is the file /etc/passwd for login passwords into Gnu/Linux.
Open KDE Wallet Manager, and go to, and there adjust application settings. Useful if you mistakenly told an application not to use KDE Wallet Manager.
Use KDE-wallet with Python in a CLI: CLI.

The African country of Chad has a $4.2-billion oil pipeline that runs 665 miles to the nearest seaport. The pipeline has generated $399 million for Chad since mid-2004, according to a report in the New York Times.
Under the terms of a World Bank loan that provided the financing for the pipeline, Chad's government was supposed to use the money to help its poorest residents. But Chad's poor have taken a backseat to the needs of the country's ruling elite.
The Times article details how the spending of the money has been marred by mismanagement and graft and, more recently, the government's decision to divert the funds to fight a rebellion.
A consortium led by Exxon Mobil built the pipeline only after the World Bank agreed to the loan. Chad, considered one of the most corrupt countries in the world, had to agree to the World Bank's conditions before the giant oil conglomerate would tackle the project.
The World Bank's hope was that it could force Chad officials to provide basic services like schools, roads and clean water. Instead, the Times articles notes, schools have not been built, contracts for local water towers have not been fulfilled and money for roads has gone into the pockets of the Chad president's brother.
"It's not clear how to get your hands around it," World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz says. "But I think to stand back and say the whole thing is a dirty business, and we in the World Bank don't want to have anything to do with it is very shortsighted."
After Chad's government decided to allow the oil revenues to be used to fight the rebellion in the eastern part of the country, the World Bank suspended all its loans to the country.
What does this have to do with U.S. agriculture? Chad is one of the C-4 group of countries that have become the poster children for Oxfam International and other non-governmental organizations trying to scuttle the U.S. cotton program. (The others: Benin, Burkina Faso and Mali.)
During the WTO's Hong Kong ministerial conference, the European Union used the plight of the C-4 countries to deflect attention from the EU's internal differences over the Doha Development Round.
WTO agreed to a draft declaration that called for accelerated treatment of the U.S. cotton program, an action U.S. government and National Cotton Council leaders have said was contrary to the "single undertaking for agriculture" rule contained in the Doha Round's July 2004 Framework Agreement.
U.S. cotton industry leaders have said it's not the U.S. cotton program that is causing the impoverishment of Chad and Mali's and Benin's and Burkina Faso's farmers but the actions of their own governments which supply inputs and market their cotton.
They've asked what happens to the 18-cent-per pound difference between the prices the farmers and the government receive for selling their cotton. Maybe we'll see a New York Times article about Chad's cotton riches being diverted….

There really hasn't been much going on here of late. The weather can't decide what it wants to do. My middle school boys have me pulling my hair out - and I don't have enough left that I can afford to loose any! I've ordered some stargazer lilies and I've been looking through last year's garden pictures but it is still to early to reopen My Sister's Garden, I think.

Q. One of my customers is concerned about the safety of powder-coated products in environments with strict fire safety codes. Do powder-coated products have any merit as fire retardants compared with liquid-painted products? Also, how do they compare to uncoated products? A.C.
A. Any organic coating can ignite if the concentration of the fuel (powder or paint) is high enough and the heat is intense enough. Powder will be more resistant to flame than some liquid coatings that are not thermally cured. A typical powder might ignite at around 900°F. A product with no coating will depend on the substrate material. Metal substrates will need much higher temperatures to melt and become molten. Steel does not melt until it hits around 2,600°F, brass will melt at 1,650°F and aluminum melts at 1,220°F. While some coatings are more resistant to flaming than others, I would not consider any typical organic coating as a fire retardant. However, a powder coating is not going to be very easy to burn without an intense and sustained fire source.

The Southeast
The southeast corner of England was traditionally where London went on holiday. In the past, trainloads of East Enders were shuttled to the hop fields and orchards of Kent for a working break from the city; boats ferried people down the Thames to the beaches of north Kent; while everyone from royalty to cuckolding couples enjoyed the seaside at Brighton, a blot of decadence in the otherwise sedate county of Sussex. Although many of the old seaside resorts have struggled to keep their tourist custom in the face of ever more accessible foreign destinations, the region still has considerable charm, its narrow country lanes and verdant meadows appearing, in places, almost untouched by modern life.
The proximity of Kent and Sussex to the continent has dictated the history of this region, which has served as a gateway for an array of invaders. Roman remains dot the coastal area – most spectacularly at Bignor in Sussex and Lullingstone in Kent – and many roads, including the main A2 London to Dover, follow the arrow-straight tracks laid by the legionaries. When Christianity spread through Europe, it arrived in Britain on the Isle of Thanet – the northeast tip of Kent, since rejoined to the mainland by silting and subsiding sea levels. In 597 AD Augustine moved inland and established a monastery at Canterbury, still the home of the Church of England and the county's prime historic attraction.
The last successful invasion of England took place in 1066, when the Normans overran King Harold's army near Hastings, on a site now marked by Battle Abbey. The Normans left their mark all over this corner of the kingdom, and Kent remains unmatched in its profusion of medieval castles, among them Dover's sprawling cliff-top fortress guarding against continental invasion and Rochester's huge, box-like citadel, close to the old dockyards of Chatham, power base of the formerly invincible British navy.
Away from the great historic sites, you can spend unhurried days in elegant old towns such as Royal Tunbridge Wells, Rye and Lewes, or enjoy the less elevated charms of the traditional resorts, of which fashionable Brighton is by far the best, combining the buzz of a university town with a good-time atmosphere and excellent restaurants. The picturesque South Downs Way – which winds its way through the South Downs National Park – offers an expanse of rolling chalk uplands that, as much as anywhere can in the crowded southeast, gets you away from it all. Kent and Sussex also harbour some of the country's finest gardens, ranging from the lush flowerbeds of Sissinghurst to the great landscaped estate of Petworth House.
The home of wealthy metropolitan commuters, Surrey is the least pastoral and historically significant of the three southeastern counties surrounding London. The portion of the county within and around the M25 orbital motorway has little for tourists, though beyond the ring road it takes on a more countrified aspect, with swathes of open heathland along its western borders and the sleepy market town of Farnham, home to a twelfth-century castle.

With the rules regarding traffic and access for constructing and dismantling stands we want to help you and your stand construction companies to have as trouble-free a time on the Koelnmesse grounds as possible.
Information for stand constructors
Please note that Cologne's Zoobrücke bridge has been closed to heavy-duty vehicles over 30 tons gross vehicle weight since 15th October 2010. Heavy-duty vehicles over 30 tons are beeing diverted via the motorway ring. Please use the detour routes that have been posted by the city of Cologne.
Because of ongoing fire safety improvements and the refurbishment work that will follow, the Grenzstraße street tunnel, which is located on the city motorway between the Zoobrücke bridge and the Köln-Ost motorway interchange, has been closed to trucks over 7.5 tons since the beginning of August 2012 and will remain closed until further notice.
Therefore, please take the Köln-Buchforst exit and follow the posted detour route. This will take you to Frankfurter Straße, then onto the Vingster Ring and from there onto the eastern connecting motorway (A559) in the direction of the exhibition centre. As an alternative, you can take the A4 to the Gremberg interchange, which will also lead you onto the eastern connecting motorway (A559).
Please note that Cologne's Mülheimer Brücke bridge has been closed to heavy-duty vehicles over 12 tons gross vehicle weight since 28 September 2018. Please use the detour routes that have been posted by the city of Cologne.

Klaire says there are two kinds of rising powers: " ...those countries like Russia which have such a surplus of energy that they're in a powerful position. But then countries like China and India have such strong economies that they've become powerful bidders in the energy market. So the U.S. is at an extreme disadvantage right now.
"This is part of a new structuring of world economic and energy power: on one hand, the energy have-powers like Russia and Iran are trying to strengthen their grip on the world's energy. So there are whole new networks forming that are reshaping the world's energy marketplace.
Klaire also talks about China's increasing appetite for energy and how it's like to turn to coal, and how the U.S. and China should collaborate on energy saving methods: "China relies on coal for about 70% of its energy input and unfortunately they're not even using the most advanced coal burning techniques, the kinds that produce a lot of pollution.
"There's talk of cooperation with China and talk about the new kinds of technology that will be adopted. It will be costly which is why the U.S. and China should work together to share the burden."

I want to judge Buccaneers coach Greg Schiano solely based on the way his team has played on the field.
Let's put aside the fact that Schiano had a dysfunctional relationship with his starting quarterback, Josh Freeman. And let's not blame the head coach for the MRSA infections that have caused major concerns on the team. And let's just say that stuff like trying to blow up the other team's kneel-down formation is a gray area where reasonable people can disagree about whether it's a legitimate tactic.
Instead, let's assess Schiano, who is closing in on the midway point of his second season as an NFL head coach, by saying this: His team stinks.
The Buccaneers are 0-5 even though Schiano has been handed a roster that has plenty of talent. Vincent Jackson is one of the best receivers in the NFL. Doug Martin is one of the most explosive young running backs to enter the league in the last few years. Defensive tackle Gerald McCoy is a beast in the middle of the line. A secondary with veterans Darrelle Revis and Dashon Goldson, plus last year's first-round pick Mark Barron and this year's second-round pick Johnthan Banks, is the envy of almost every coach in the NFL. You can't say Schiano is losing because his team doesn't have the personnel to win.
What you can say is that Schiano doesn't look like he has any coherent plan in place for molding all that talent into a good football team. Yes, yes, I know, Schiano wants to be "tough" and "physical" and "disciplined," but does Schiano have a competent defensive scheme? It sure didn't look that way on Sunday, when that talented secondary got lit up by a backup quarterback, Nick Foles, who went 22-for-31 for 296 yards, with three touchdowns and no interceptions.
And does Schiano have any plan for his offense? It sure doesn't seem like it when he spends the entire offseason insisting that this is Josh Freeman's team, then benches Freeman after three weeks and cuts him after four.
I could be persuaded that Schiano is a good coach who just needs time to turn things around if he had a good track record elsewhere. But the truth is, his track record at his only previous head-coaching job — at Rutgers — isn't particularly impressive. In Schiano's 11 seasons at Rutgers, his team never won the Big East and only finished in the Top 25 once.
The coach on the opposite sideline from Schiano on Sunday, Philadelphia's Chip Kelly, also went from college to the NFL, but Kelly had coached a big-time winner at Oregon. In Kelly's four seasons as head coach at Oregon, he won the conference championship three times and was never ranked worse than No. 11 in the country. Whether you think Kelly is going to succeed or fail at the next level, there's no question that Kelly has shown he can win big at the college level. The same can't be said for Schiano.
The old Bill Parcells saying, "You are what your record says you are," is how Schiano deserves to be judged. And Schiano's record says the Buccaneers have a winless and hapless coach.
Here are my other thoughts on Sunday in the NFL:
Joseph Fauria: NFL's best undrafted rookie and best dancer? Fauria, the 6-foot-7 Detroit tight end, may be having the best season of any undrafted rookie in the league through six weeks. He's been an outstanding red zone target for the Lions, and he reeled in three touchdown catches on Sunday in Cleveland. And Fauria's touchdown celebration dancing is also amusing, having already drawn attention on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. The dances he did on Sunday in Cleveland had his teammates cracking up in the end zone, and with his height and leaping ability, you can bet he's going to go up and get a lot more touchdown passes in the future. Asked why Fauria has been successful in the red zone, Lions coach Jim Schwartz answered, "He's tall as hell." Sometimes that's enough.
Vontaze Burfict needs to cool it with the personal fouls. Burfict, the Cincinnati linebacker, had 15-yard penalties for facemasking, for a hit on a sliding quarterback and for a hit on a defenseless receiver on Sunday. Burfict has been a terrific player for the Bengals since they signed him as an undrafted free agent last year, but the reason Burfict wasn't drafted was that NFL teams didn't think he could keep himself in check after developing a reputation as a hothead during his college career. Three personal fouls in a game is not acceptable.
Danny Amendola's injury was frightening. Amendola, the Patriots' No. 1 receiver, took a hard (but legal) hit to the head and fell face-first into the turf. When he got up, he couldn't even walk straight. The Patriots immediately announced that he wouldn't return to the game, and that looked like the kind of head injury that will sideline a player for more than just one game. Amendola is a talented receiver, but he simply hasn't been able to stay healthy.
Baltimore needs Eugene Monroe to get better. Monroe, the left tackle the Ravens acquired in a trade with the Jaguars, whiffed on a block just before halftime, leading Joe Flacco to get blindsided and fumble, setting up a Packers field goal on the last play of the first half. That was one of the ugliest plays of the day, and a bad sign that trading for Monroe wasn't close enough to fix the problems on the Ravens' offensive line.
Can anyone explain what happened to the Texans? I don't know if I can ever recall a team imploding quite the way Houston has. After Week 13 of last season, the Texans were 11-1, and a lot of people considered them the best team in the NFL. Since then they've gone 4-8, and seven of their eight losses were blowouts, including Sunday's horrendous performance against the Rams. There have been no major coaching or personnel changes, and yet this team looks absolutely nothing like the good football team we saw in Houston a year ago. Gary Kubiak probably won't last much longer in Houston. Like Schiano, Kubiak is going to be judged by his record, and his record isn't good.

The current legislation that enables ethanol blenders to receive a 45 cent per gallon incentive expires at the end of the year. In anticipation of new legislation, a proposal was developed by University of Illinois economists for a variable incentive program that could save U.S. taxpayers more than $13 billion.
"There are proposals that would eliminate the tax credit entirely and others to keep it exactly as is," said U of I agricultural economist Scott Irwin. "We decided to take a look at a different form of tax credit that would be keyed to the incentives of the blenders themselves rather than just giving them a fixed amount of tax credit regardless of the economics of blending."
The current tax credit incentive arrangement is a direct payment with considerable expense associated with it —about $4 to $5 billion per year, Irwin said. The proposal is an attempt to more efficiently target the incentives to the blenders of ethanol when they need it, but how?
One idea is to key the blenders' credit to the price of crude oil. "When the price of crude oil is very high, blenders might not need a credit, and when it is very low, they may need a large credit as an incentive to blend ethanol," Irwin said. The problem is that there is quite a bit of volatility among energy prices, he said.
Simple equation may be answer
Irwin suggests that a simple equation may be the answer.
"Subtract the price of ethanol from the price of gasoline and that gives you a measure for the incentives to blend ethanol. When that number is positive, that means ethanol is cheaper than gasoline and so blenders will want to include it in the gasoline at the retail supply. When that number is negative, that means the price of ethanol is higher than the price of gasoline and you wouldn't want to use ethanol in terms of the basic market economics. So, we key our rule to zero. Whenever that margin is negative, meaning they would otherwise not want to blend ethanol, that's when the blenders' credit kicks in. The credit is a maximum of the current 45 cents per gallon. So our proposal is to cover negative margins up to 45 cents per gallon and nothing above zero."
Irwin's team tested the proposal and showed that since 2007, the current fixed-rate policy would cost the U.S. taxpayer about $15 billion. "Our proposed new variable blender's rate credit would only cost about $2.5 billion. These are just rough estimates because we're just running the numbers backwards historically, not accounting for the fact that when you change the rules of the game like this, people can change their behavior."
Clearly, there are large potential savings to taxpayers in going to a variable rate system, he said.
Probably the biggest question from crop producers in the Midwest is, "Would that level of reduction in government expenditures hurt the overall level of ethanol prices and corn prices?" Irwin said that's something their report did not address. "We were just looking at how the variable rate might work and what are the implications."
Since the late 1970s, there have been tax incentives in place for the blending of ethanol in gasoline supplies. Prior to last year, the incentive was 51 cents per gallon on domestically produced and blended ethanol. Last year it was lowered to 45 cents per gallon, with a corresponding tariff of 54 cents per gallon on imported ethanol which negates the tax credit.
The full report entitled, "Could a Variable Ethanol Blenders' Tax Credit Work?" was produced by Irwin, Darrel Good, and Mindy Mallory and published on the farmdoc website at http://www.farmdoc.illinois.edu/policy/apbr/apbr_10_01/apbr_10_01.html.

Scotty Miller, who runs the Jewish Mother restaurants in Virginia Beach and Norfolk, said last week he's spreading his sandwich, beer and music empire to the Peninsula.
He said he'll open a Jewish Mother Deli and Grill in Hampton on Wednesday, May 23. It's to operate in the Hampton Town Center shopping center next to AMC 24 movie theater. "It's going to be an express, about 3,000 square feet," Miller said. "There will be a bar in the back and we'll do some live acoustic music." He envisions booking mostly local acoustic acts.
He said he plans to add a patio, too. "We'll have an outdoor café as soon as I have the permit. So we'll have the same outdoor dining with sandwiches, burgers, cakes and pies that we have in Virginia Beach."
The Hampton shop is part of a larger expansion of the Jewish Mother brand, Miller said. Next spring, he hopes to open a 12,000-square foot restaurant and live music venue in the High Street development in Williamsburg. "There, we'll have national level entertainment … So, I'm back in the saddle. I'm going to do a few of them."
Those who've been following live music in Hampton Roads for years will see this story as a case of deja vu. Under a different management group, the Jewish Mother previously expanded to Norfolk and Williamsburg. Eventually, the chain contracted to one location in Virginia Beach.
The restaurant's current main location in the Hilltop area of Virginia Beach books national acts ranging from Less Than Jake and Trombone Shorty to Johnny Winter and Band of Horses.

The holidays are upon us, and you know that with the holidays, usually comes delicious food… Likely, a lot of this food will be homemade. If so, you will undoubtedly incur a lot of food packaging waste. Some will have to go straight to the garbage (re-using Styrofoam meat trays is not cute), but a lot of it can be recycled… or better yet, REPURPOSED! (click on the link — you know you want to).
What turned me on to this whole idea in the first place was what I saw as I was walking down the streets o' Brooklyn on trash day this past week. Lots of bags of trash, lots of recycling, lots of… "what is that??"
And yeah, I know… Recycling is good. But… UPcycling is fun!!! And think of it this way: Free materials! (because crafting supplies really can cost some serious money.)
So, I thought — and realized, after looking in my own recycling bin — that since a big majority of the food related recyclables are cans (think: cans of crushed tomatoes, pumpkin pie filling, beans, cranberry sauce, etc.) I needed to scrounge up some crafty-whacha-ma-call-its that require cans (you know, so I could sleep better at night).
Well… what could be a better place to look than Pinterest?
(I often turn to Pinterest in times like this…)
So, for your viewing pleasure, and hopefully crafting pleasure, here are my Pinterest finds — and some good ol' fashioned Google search finds — that use cans.
