Nationally, there's a tight, four-way competition for row-crop acreage going on, and soybeans may be the crop that gains the fewest overall acres, says Chad Hart, Iowa State University (ISU) agricultural economist.
"For now, beans look like they may be losing the bidding battle for 2011 acreage," says Hart. "Cotton could probably gain some acreage over soybeans in the southeast, and wheat might gain acreage over beans in the Dakotas. Cotton markets are experiencing record-high prices right now and wheat prices are hovering near the $10/bu. mark."
Yet in Iowa, and much of the Midwest, soybeans will likely hold up fairly well to competition for more corn acres, says Hart. "There should be a fairly lucrative economic advantage to growing more corn in 2011 in the Midwest, but acreage in Iowa will probably be divided between corn and soybeans in pretty close proportions to what farmers planted last year," he says. "Overall, farmers in Iowa will probably plant more total corn and soybeans acres this year by using land that recently came out of the Conservation Reserve Program or that had been planted to oats or alfalfa last year."
For Iowa, the projected profit margins for both corn and soybeans are extremely positive right now, he points out. "Total projected costs for raising both crops are in the $200-300/bu. range. For corn, it will likely cost close to $4/bu. to produce, and prices are up near $6/bu. here. For soybeans, the cost to produce is about $9.45 to produce, and prices are in the $12/bu. range."
Projected profit margins have been tracking quite a bit higher for corn than soybeans recently and will likely stay that way through planting time, says Hart. Two factors that might alter those projections would be any significant change in soybean purchase patterns from China and/or a sudden increase in oil and energy prices.
"China is again the main factor that could alter soybean prices," notes Hart. "As long as China continues to buy soybeans at fairly strong levels, U.S. producers will have an incentive to increase their acreage. Recently, however, we have seen a little weakness in their U.S. soybean buying patterns, with a cancellation of one sale and their willingness to go to Brazil to buy cheaper soybeans, when they can find them."
Like a smart shopper, China will go where it can to secure the best deal on commodities, says Hart. "For soybeans, China is not even close to producing all they need," he says. "So, they depend on the world market."
South America is the biggest challenger to U.S. soybean sales to China, and Brazil could possibly have record soybean production this year, points out Hart. On the other hand, Brazil's increased production likely won't be enough to offset Argentina's decrease in production from recent drought conditions, he adds.
Normally near self-sufficient in wheat and corn production, China may need to import more of these two crops than they normally would in 2011, says Hart. "With corn, they have made one, 15-million-bushel buy from the U.S., which is not a big buy, but it's a signal that more could come later," he says. "When China gets into a market, they tend to be the biggest player in the market. China is the second largest producer of corn in the world."
Global wheat production woes may also spur on an increase in Chinese demand for U.S. corn, says Hart. "Winter wheat production in China is looking pretty rough, just like our winter wheat is looking pretty rough," says Hart. "The Chinese use wheat for both food and feed. So, if they're short in wheat, then they're short of feed grain, which opens up a wider door for U.S. corn imports into China.
"Also, Russian winter wheat doesn't look good this year, just like last year," adds Hart, "and there's been flooding in Australia and Pakistan, which have decreased wheat production in those areas. So, global wheat shortages like these could continue to increase the demand for U.S. corn."
For a longer-term outlook in commodity prices, however, there's also the question as to whether La Niña weather patterns will hold longer than expected and have a hand in reducing crop production in the U.S., notes Hart. For corn, there is also the question of how increasing oil and energy markets might hinder future input costs and profitability.
"For corn, the situation is a little different today than what we were seeing during the summer of 2008," says Hart. "Back then, we had $140/barrel crude oil costs and $7/bu. nearby corn futures prices. Now we have $85/barrel crude oil costs, but we still have close to $7/bu. corn futures prices.
"So, we're not yet seeing the pressure on energy prices now like we did then, which helps keep farm input costs lower," he says. "Still, all that could change, especially if what's happening with the unrest in the Middle East affects oil production in Saudi Arabia or Iran or oil shipments through the Suez Canal."

California Continued: New Approaches in West Coast Photography
Walk into California Continued: New Approaches in West Coast Photography at Smith Andersen North gallery in San Anselmo, and the first thing you will see is the late Larry Sultan's 30" x 40" image, Paris On My Parents' Bed. Photographing Paris Hilton for Interview Magazine in 2008, Sultan posed the young celebrity on the bed of what had been his parents' room in his family's childhood home in the San Fernando Valley. (The house was no longer occupied by the Sultans by the time of the shoot.) The young Ms. Hilton, with fully made-up face and hair, lounges sidelong on the unfamiliar bed as if it were her own, clad in only her robe and socks, seemingly unaware of the camera as she checks her cell phone. The image is brilliant, capturing the essence of a California that Sultan knew intimately: teeming with equal parts ambition and loneliness, it is a place constantly reinventing its own likeness.
Curated by photographer Jennifer O'Keeffe, California Continued refuses a singular view of the West Coast; in fact, it has no tight thematic or methodological categories whatsoever. Instead, it represents many Californias, as seen through the eyes of thirty photographers from various regions of the Golden State. Broad ranging as it may be (very broad at points), there is not a bad photograph in the show.

Some serious heavyweights are on view -- Todd Hido, Katy Grannan, John Divola, and Richard Miscrach to name a few, but the show is largely occupied by emerging artists, many of whom experiment with the boundaries of medium. Job Piston's haunting Untitled (Red Portrait) is 16" x 20" blood-red photogram, created by exposing photographic paper for an extended period of time to an illuminated image on his computer screen of the face of Matthew Shepard (who was brutally murdered in 1998 for being gay).
Photo: Klea McKenna
Klea McKenna's piece, Paper Airplanes, consists of a grid of forty 8x10 paper airplanes made from photosensitive paper, which appear to have been folded and flown in daylight before being subsequently processed. The resulting piece, full of warm and black tones, and bearing the marks of its own unfolding, makes reference to the World War II soldiers deployed to the Marin coast as look-outs for enemy planes.
Chris McCaw uses paper negatives, and points his camera directly at the bright California sun, causing literal burns on the surface of his images, not unlike the tenuous quality of human skin. Against the backdrop of more established California-based photographers, these experimental practices make good on the show's "New Approaches in West Coast Photography" claim, engendering new ways of looking at a cultural and topographic landscape that is uniquely our own.
Sponsored By
Let us return to Larry Sultan's quintessential photograph of Paris Hilton, also the last image one sees when exiting the gallery. Other than Sultan, every photographer featured in the show is living and actively making work. The central placement of Sultan's photograph speaks volumes about the show's intent. This collection of work is a fitting homage to Sultan's influence -- both literally, as he was a teacher to many artists on view, and conceptually -- by grounding California as a unique and complex source from which to make work. He would be proud to see it.
California Continued: New Approaches in West Coast Photography runs through April 15, 2011 at the Smith Andersen North Gallery in San Anselmo, California. For more information visit smithandersennorth.com.

Now the sun is out and the weather is gorgeously warm we decided it's time for mussels and a bottle of Sancerre - perfect evening meal out on our deck.
The mussels were pre-prepared in white wine sauce, boil in the bag style from Tesco .... and were delicious, so meaty.
The Sancerre was a birthday gift from some very good friends - my birthday is in September and this wine suits warmer weather so I've been saving it and last night was the perfect time.
It's a lovely clear wine with a hue of green, light bouquet of apple and citrus, fresh appley palate with a lemon and a hint of vanilla - available at Majestic
I've been very lucky as I was selected to be on Aldi's 8th tasting panel - their wine is very very good. Each panel is six wines to taste and they are delivered over a few weeks in pairs - I'm collecting our last two tomorrow. These are the four we've tried so far:
|Exquisite Albarino with delicate nose and
peachy flavour
|Cotes de Provence rose full of summer fruits
|Gaguedi Swartland Sauvignon Blanc dry,
crisp, with pineapple highlights
|Blanquette de Limoux full of bubbles,
apples and a hint of pear
|Our first selection including a few freebies
|Lovely french sauvignon
|Light bottle of bubbly
Last year I saved any 2015 coin we had in our change and by the year end we had enough to buy a good bottle of wine each - we bought them from Cambridge Wine Shop in Salisbury and both were from Famille Perrin who are part of the Chateau Beaucastel winemakers. I'm hoping we can try some more Famille Perrin when we're in France.
|Lovely red full of redcurrants and blackberries
I have not tasted a variety of beer from different producers before - on brewery tours you only taste that brand but a variety of styles - this course was six very different beers from six different producers. As with wine some beers taste better with food and Abraham had nibbles of cheese, crisps and sausage rolls for us to try with certain beers - it does make a difference and in some cases (as with wine) can spoil a drink.
Hubby and our son both liked Brewdog Punk IPA whereas our daughter and I both liked the Hawthorne Pilsner.
Thank you Majestic for a great night of beer discovery.
I think I'll be writing our french holiday discoveries up over a couple of blogs especially the wine details. Have a great June - always a good time of year for a glass of something nice in the garden.

The Witchlands, Book #2
by Susan Dennard
now available!
Publisher: Tor Teen
Pages: 416
Find it on: Amazon, Goodreads
Read an Excerpt!
Susan Dennard returns with a follow up to New York Times bestselling novel Truthwitch.
After an explosion destroys his ship, the world believes Prince Merik, Windwitch, is dead. Scarred yet alive, Merik is determined to prove his sister's treachery. Upon reaching the royal capital, crowded with refugees, he haunts the streets, fighting for the weak―which leads to whispers of a disfigured demigod, the Fury, who brings justice to the oppressed.
When the Bloodwitch Aeduan discovers a bounty on Iseult, he makes sure to be the first to find her―yet in a surprise twist, Iseult offers him a deal. She will return money stolen from him, if he locates Safi. Now they must work together to cross the Witchlands, while constantly wondering, who will betray whom first?
After a surprise attack and shipwreck, Safi and the Empress of Marstok barely escape with their lives. Alone in a land of pirates, every moment balances on a knife's edge―especially when the pirates' next move could unleash war upon the Witchlands.
Sometimes our enemies are also our only allies…
"Make room on your all-time favorites shelf: Truthwitch is an instant new classic. It reminded me of why I started reading fantasy in the first place: its fierce and vibrant world, richly-drawn characters, and dazzling intrigue harken to the best of Megan Whalen Turner, Robin Hobb, and Jacqueline Carey. And while it pays homage to the epic fantasies that have come before it, it also lays the foundation for a bright new chapter in the genre. I haven't been so enthralled and inspired by a book since I first read Lloyd Alexander's The Book of Three. Do not miss out!" ―Sarah J. Maas, New York Times bestselling author of the Throne of Glass series

Cardiomyopathy is a group of heart diseases that cause your heart muscle to thicken.
There are several different types of cardiomyopathy. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the second most common type of heart muscle disease (after ischemic cardiomyopathy).
Up to 500,000 people in the United States have HCM. According to the American Heart Association, 35% to 40% of children under age 12 who have cardiomyopathy have HCM.
This type of cardiomyopathy usually affects your left ventricle, a lower chamber that is your heart's main pumping chamber. As the ventricle walls enlarge, they become more rigid and bulge into the space inside the ventricle. The narrowed ventricle prevents your heart from pumping enough blood to the rest of your body and maintaining a normal electrical rhythm.
HCM can also damage your heart's mitral valve and cause cellular changes in heart tissue.
Although there is no cure for HCM, Aurora Health Care doctors offer a number of very effective medications and corrective procedures that can significantly improve your symptoms.
HCM is usually an inherited condition caused by mutations (changes) in heart muscle cells. Because of its genetic link, it's very important to have your doctor check you and your family for HCM if a doctor diagnoses one of your parents, siblings or children with the condition.
People can also develop HCM as a result of the aging process or health conditions such as:
HCM often is the condition behind sudden cardiac arrest, especially in young athletes. Many people don't realize they have HCM until they develop an arrhythmia (abnormal heart rhythm) or go into sudden cardiac arrest, meaning their heart suddenly stops beating.
Learn more about all types of cardiomyopathy and sudden cardiac arrest.
Because we often diagnose HCM in children and young people (particularly athletes) – and because the condition is often inherited – we often test and work with entire families. Your HCM treatment at Aurora will include:
Although many people don't realize they have HCM, the disease may create symptoms. It's important to see your doctor right away if you have two or more HCM symptoms, which include:
To diagnose HCM, your doctor will start by asking about your symptoms and perform a physical exam.
If you need further heart tests, they may include:
Learn more about heart and vascular testing and diagnosis at Aurora.
If you are diagnosed with HCM, we'll work with you on a treatment plan tailored to your needs. It may include lifestyle changes to improve your health such as quitting smoking, avoiding high-intensity sports and limiting salt, alcohol and caffeine.

New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles fans have more than their team's Super Bowl appearance to look forward to in Minneapolis. The City of Flour is home to several calorie-worthy donut shops for them to discover.
Even though Dunkin' Donuts are as prevalent in the Northeast as record snowfalls, Boston and Philadelphia are home to many independent donut destinations like Union Square Donuts and Federal Donuts.
Before moving here last year, Minneapolis was on my list of places to visit for its acclaimed donut shops. I owned a donut shop and am always on the lookout for an honest donut, meaning made-from-scratch. It seems bakers from the Twin Cities are regulars on "best of" lists and food television competitions. I've had many donuts from many states, from Blue Star Donuts in Portland, Oregon to the Holy Donut in Portland, Maine.
Now I hope to help you decide which ones to target during your trip to Super Bowl LII.
Your first search for donuts will turn up Glam Doll Donuts. This shop has two locations, one in the area of the city known as Eat Street. This stretch of diverse restaurants runs a couple miles south of US Bank Stadium on Nicollet Avenue.
Glam Doll Donuts goes all out to be the pin-up donut shop of your dreams. It's very pink, quite pretty, and seriously flirty. Fan favorites include the Pinup Girl, a bourbon-infused apple fritter, the Showgirl, a caramelized bacon maple bar, and the Femme Fatale, a fresh raspberry curd-filled donut.
Glam Doll has a few vegan options in addition to beer pairings to go with their sweet creations. And if beer is your drink of choice, please take note that Minnesota is one of the few low-point states in the country. Only low-alcohol beer is sold in grocery stores.
When I walk into a donut shop, I want to be hit with the alluring aroma of fried dough and powdered sugar. I want brightly-lit cases of love. I want evidence the bakers making the goods take their time creating delicious little bundles of sweet dough for their customers.
That's exactly what you'll find when you walk into the cloud-like Angel Food Bakery. The ethereal atmosphere pairs well with its delicate donuts. You'll find gossamer chandeliers, glass cake plates, and an ornate antique white ceiling sheltering a wide range of donuts from a glazed yeast to complex flavor combinations.
Angel Food's specialties include a variety of crullers like vanilla-glazed, Rosemary's baby, Mexican chocolate, and strawberry rose flavors. Patrons can also order custom message donuts, like a baker's dozen in the shape of capital letters that spell out HAPPY BIRTHDAY. Or how about, WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS?
Bogart's Doughnut Co. is a short drive south of the stadium in a shiny white shoebox of a building, but they also sell donuts from a kiosk in the IDS Center's Crystal Court downtown. Bogart's uses a brioche-based dough that produces rich raised donuts. You won't find crazy flavor combinations or over-the-top toppings in this small bakery case. You will find eight basic donuts done right.
The raised glazed and brown butter-glazed doughnuts are remarkable, but the one that keeps me going back is the chocolate cake donut made with dark Valhrona cocoa powder, finished with vanilla bean glaze. Wow.
Cardigan Donuts is downtown next to Nicollet Mall which will feature Super Bowl LIVE. Free concerts run all week along with other football fan attractions. Cardigan Donuts can be a challenge to find your first time, but your effort will be rewarded. Instead of making shoppers walk from business to business outside, on the sidewalk, in the cold, they can walk inside.
The Minneapolis Skyway System is a maze of nearly 10 miles of interior hallway sidewalks connecting 80 city blocks. Unlike an open interior, akin to a mall, these are wide hallways running through the center of blocks of buildings. It's quite bizarre, to me, a Minneapolis foreigner.
Cardigan leans toward the exotic, while doing basic very well. They have one of the best raised glazed ring donuts I've had and a fantastic vanilla caramel coconut bar. They also make their own Greek yogurt for a variety of unique oatmeal bowls to help bring balance to your breakfast.
These downtown donut shops are easy to get to even if you don't rent a car during your stay. Though not as extensive as the public rail systems in Boston and Philly, the Mini Apple has a light rail that takes travelers from the airport straight downtown to US Bank Stadium, as well as the Mall of America.
YoYo Donuts is a secret-family-recipe kinda place that concentrates on the fun side of donut flavors. To visit them in Minnetonka, about 15 miles west of US Bank Stadium, you may need a car. Whether you want an Uber or just directions, you won't deplete your cellphone data plan thanks to the 117 public Wi-Fi hotspots throughout the city. Register once and you'll be hooked up your entire stay.
YoYo Donuts is the only nut-free bakery on this list. If the entire family is in tow, this is the donut shop for you. They cover the basics, while catering to the kid in every donut lover with cinnamon twists and chocolate zebras.
You can plan a stop at YoYo on your way to Paisley Park, Prince's former residence, about 20 miles southwest of downtown, in Chanhassen. Prince fans who don't have the time to make the trek can opt instead to visit live music venue First Avenue, the downtown club featured in the movie Purple Rain. First Avenue has a special late-night party on the calendar after the big game, maybe an opportunity for some celebrity sightings.
Mojo Monkey Donuts offers a bit of everything in its Saint Paul shop. Their donuts are denser than the others with exotic fruits, all types of nuts, and loads of candy toppings. On weekends, they'll even fry up a batch of authentic beignets to order.
Neighborhood bakeries, A Baker's Wife in Standish, and Sarah Jane's in Audubon Park, have been recognized for their scratch donuts as well as their outstanding bakery staples. These bakeries are located just south and north of the downtown area, respectively.
A Baker's Wife is a no-frills, cash-only establishment run by a former big city pastry chef. Their state fair cake donut is a regular favorite, but their most raved-about pastry is the American tea cake. I would describe it as a dense open-face cronut with layers of buttery sweet dough, alternatingly soft and crunchy. Check out their reviews online to read how it's affected customers.
Sarah Jane's Bakery's donuts make me think of the donuts my grandmother would have made, if she had made donuts. Old school. Vintage. Classic. The powdered cake and crunch donut hole are simply perfect. I plan to return to try their wide range of breads and pastries.
Whether you're in Minneapolis to support the Eagles or the Patriots, or to catch a glimpse of JT at halftime, don't miss the opportunity to try these Minnesota originals.

Why is loot banned?
Hurry up and answer mods.
Re: Why is loot banned?
He posted a few pictures that were in poor taste... very poor taste...
Re: Why is loot banned?
Of what?
Re: Why is loot banned?
One was of a naked child covered in what looked to be bandages...
Re: Why is loot banned?
hahahahaha that's awesome! Not the ban, but that sounds funny.
Hopefully he signs up for a new acount called..... lootin'
I like that name.
Re: Why is loot banned?
Loot de Loot.
Agreed, this board is a better place with him. But the ban was justified none the less.
Re: Why is loot banned?
Sothe guy was posting child porn. He deserved to get banned.
Re: Why is loot banned?
Who are you? :confusedshrug: Well you can shut the hell up anyway.
loot is a great poster, we all have slip-ups occasionaly.
Re: Why is loot banned?
Lol, he kinda did post child porn though. That's a little more than a slip up. But I agree, the board is better with him than without him. The ban was completely justified, so we'll see if he comes back.
Re: Why is loot banned?
OMG, child porn. Guy is an idiot. He's an insecure loser. Brings nothing to the board. Is occasionaly funny and witty....but that's it.
Re: Why is loot banned?
Re: Why is loot banned?
That's a phucking old picture and you need some serious work on your photoshop skills..excuse me, paint skills. :roll:
And what's your point? You want your buddy Loot back? No wonder, insecure losers stick together.
And I'm not one bit suprised that you had a shirtless picture of Beckham on your hard drive, not suprised one bit.
And you don't even like soccer :oldlol:
Re: Why is loot banned?
I'll take "occasionally funny and witty" over 90 % of the drivel that this board consists of any day.
Re: Why is loot banned?
You guys are retards he posted child porn.:wtf:
Re: Why is loot banned?
This board isn't too bad if you learn more about people.
There are some that need to be taken seriously and with respect.
And then again, there are people that you may as well ignore as they contribute nothing.
And you also have people like Loot who don't contibute much with their basketball knowledge but do contribute in other areas such as humor and wit.
You got to take good with the bad I guess.
I personally think Loot is an idiot but I do agree he's not a bad poster.
At least he's interesting and entertaining at times.
But he has exposed himself as not a typical funny guy but either a very unknowledgable guy when it comes to history or a racist funny type of a guy like Michael Richards. Who knows..
But child porn? Come on. That sense of humor just might be a bit messed up because of mental inbalance.

MIT, Autodesk & Stratasys are Working With 'Secret' Materials to Develop New 4D Printing Applications
By Sarah Anderson | 3DPrint.com
3D printing has come a long way since its inception in 1984. Today, we can print amazing things — from toys on home desktop 3D printers to replacement parts for hardware to advanced prostheses to living tissue. The array of materials available for printing is also widening, from standard plastic resins to chocolates to DNA. The next step for 3D printing, it seems, is to move into the next dimension.

Love this pattern. Made hat in one evening. Went to start the scarf and found the number of stitches cast on didn't make sense for the width of the scarf. After a little thought, I cast on 19 stitches. This gave me the correct width.

Ease of Growing [Scale 1-5] - 1 (Easy)
How Time Consuming
Very low maintenance apart from watering every 1-2 weeks and keeping the weeds down..
Recommended Varieties:
- 'Bolthardy' – Early variety, deep colour, bolt resistant.
- Organic 'Chioggia Pink' – is the most beautiful of beetroots with circles of dark pink & white flesh (does fade to light pink when cooked though). Very sweet tasting variety and good for roasting with garlic, onions and balsamic vinegar.
- 'Kestrel' – High quality variety, can grow closer together for tender baby beets.
Home Grown Vs Supermarket :
Home grown taste is second to none and the edible leaves look good in your vegetable plot.
Best Sites and Soils:
Grow in a sunny open site in well drained fertile soil containing plenty of organic matter. If you can, two or three weeks before sowing, spread a general granular fertiliser across the site and rake into the soil. Beetroot is aperfect crop to grow in a raised bed or a manger.
When to sow
Sow outdoors from early spring to summer. Warm up ground for a couple of weeks with cloches or polythene on the ground. Sow rows every 14 days to provide a continuous crop. Early spring or late winter sowings should be under cloches or horticultural fleece. If you grow varieties for winter storage, it is possible to have beetroot almost all year round.
Distance between rows - 30cms (12")
Distance between plants - Thin to 10cm (4") between seedlings.
When to harvest
Baby beets can be harvested as soon as they are the size of a golf ball, for mature beets leave until the size of a tennis ball. Any larger and they will become woody.
Regular weeding between the crops is required.
A fast growing crop and can mature within 10 weeks of sowing – can use as a catch crop and grow between other longer maturing plants.
Further Information
Watering / Feeding - Ensure ground is moist, if soil dries out the beetroot may bolt. Applying 5cm (2") of mulch will help to conserve moisture.Close
Guide to sowing and planting - To ensure the beetroot seed germinates soak overnight before sowing. Beetroot doesn't germinate well below 7.5 deg C so warming the soil with the use of cloches is beneficial with early sowings.Close
Problems to look out for - Bolting: Plants flower and set seed, rather than producing edible roots. This is usually caused by stress often a cold spell or not enough water. Sow bolt-resistant varieties and keep the soil moist.Close
How to harvest by type - Use a garden fork to lift the beets taking care not to damage the roots particularly if storing. Remove surplus soil and twist off foliage.
Storing - Stores well and will keep through the winter. Place roots (not touching) in boxes of dry sand or coir. Store in a cool shed or garage.
