 brought on behalf of the two rice farmers based on damages they suffered from contamination of their crops by an unapproved genetically modified strain of rice seed produced by Bayer. Discovery of the contamination of the two Missouri rice farmers' supply and that of other rice farmers across the United States, led to a dramatic drop in U.S. rice prices, as the European Union stopped purchasing U.S. rice. The farmers suffered loss due to the much lower demand for their rice since 2006, when the contaminated rice was discovered.
This trial, which began Nov. 2, was the first of five scheduled "bellwether" - or test - trials scheduled by U.S. District Court Judge Catherine Perry that involves rice farmers in Missouri, Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi. These trials represent the first step Judge Perry ordered in hearing the multi-district litigation involving some 6,000 rice farmers in those five states. St. Louis attorney Don Downing, of the firm Gray, Ritter & Graham, was the lead plaintiffs' attorney in this first case and is the court appointed plaintiffs' co-lead counsel in the multi-district litigation.
William Chaney of the law firm of Gray Reed & McGraw in Dallas was a critical member of the legal team and represents clients - including farmers, mills and exporters - in Texas, Louisiana, and Arkansas with similar claims, and has served on the court-appointed plaintiffs' executive committee. Drew York of the firm also supported the trial team.
"We're very pleased that the jury returned verdicts in favor of our clients, and their family farming operations. The verdicts are wonderful news for all rice farmers in Texas and elsewhere who were victims of Bayer's conduct," said Chaney. "The jury spoke loud and clear that Bayer needs to do better." Chaney also stated that it was a privilege to try the case with Mr. Downing and his partner Gretchen Garrison as well as Grant Davis of the Kansas City law firm of Davis, Bethune & Jones, LLC.
The next test trial involving Bayer and rice farmers is scheduled for January 11, 2010 in the same federal courtroom and will include farmers from Arkansas and Mississippi. Trials for Texas and Louisiana growers are scheduled for next May and June, both also in St. Louis.
While the jury used the same formula in awarding compensatory damages to both plaintiffs, Bell's damages were higher because he planted significantly more acres of rice then Hunter and also incurred expenses to clean and clear his land and his machinery of any trace of the Bayer genetically modified rice.

Happy Saturday! I hope you've found ways to cool off. Saturday was still a very, very hot day -- Redmond hit its fifth straight daily record, at 108 degrees -- but not as sunny as we've seen the rest of the week. Late in the day, we've seen scattered showers and storms move in over the region.
Late-night comedy shows haven’t been shy about poking fun at Oregon, and Wednesday’s episode of “The Daily Show With Trevor Noah” continued that tradition. In the show, correspondent Ronny Chieng visited Mike McCarter, the La Pine resident who is president of Move Oregon’s Border, a nonprofit organization that wants to move some counties in eastern and southern Oregon to Idaho, believing that state better represents rural Oregon counties’ more conservative values.
Our satellite and radar imagery shows over the past few hours, we've seen scattered thunderstorms and showers across the region. Winds are coming out of the south, pushing this system east, and we can expect to see these same conditions for a few days. Temperatures are still reflecting this heat...

The Daily Show starring Trevor Noah recently took a funny poke at the Oregon/Idaho border movement debate. The Daily Show visited La Pine Oregon to talk with the organizer of Move Oregon's Border founder Mike McCarter. McCarter is proposing taking the politically conservative counties of Oregon and merging them with...When I install and run, "Configure Lazarus IDE" dialogs appears, saying, that fpc.cfg is missing.
When I copy fpc.cfg from another instalation (Lazarus 0.9.31 + FPC 2.4.3) and replace "2.4.3" with "2.5.1" inside file. I can continue.
So it seems, that fpc.cfg is missing from installation package?
Even though some other problems could contribute to Lazarus not finding some files, isn't it stated that snapshots are untested?
Perhaps you should try another day's snapshot when that happens?
Nothing wrong with signaling problems.
The problems is appear on me too and applied on me.
In a console, cd into the bin directory, e.g. C:\freepascal\fpc\2.4.3\bin\i386-win32.
I know that it is untested software but I think it would be good for the software to atleast allow user to run it...
Half of year ago I did not have to craete fpc.cfg file and I did not have to explicitly pick path for fpc source files when I've downloaded a snapshot with bundled FPC.
I think that this is a step backward I've wasted 30 minutes of time for this instead of coding.
Error: Directory of file "fpc.cfg" does not exists. User -p to force creation.
@User137: try using a trailing backslash - I thought this might fix it - e.g.
The last version executed from D:\ worked i think, no errors but no messages either and Lazarus doesn't complain about cfg.
I just tried it, but now when I start Lazarus, it runs "TrackBar Demo v0.1" instead of Lazarus. How do I get Lazarus???
Happens to me a lot, too. For some reason the wrong code was compiled. On Windows, I'd delete lazarus.exe, rename the old version of Lazarus to lazarus.exe, recompiled clean, turned around 3 times anti-clockward, rescanned FPC source dir etc., then it worked. (In other words, I don't really know what I'm doing but it works in the end).
I am glad that this is a bug. I was afraid that it was a "feature".
Yesterday Lazarus 0.9.31 svn with freepascal 2.7.1 svn was copied on clean system, the "Trackbar Demo" window appeared.
It only appeared since is is rebuilt with menu "Clean Up + Build All", not on command line.
I can not remember how times it was rebuilt yesterday but the same "Trackbar Demo" window did always appear.
Today after the two package IDE0.0 and jcfidelazarus2.0 installed, the IDE back.
Tools/Options/Configure Build Options. Uncheck "Examples" in the upper left corner. I have already reported in Bugtracker and it has been fixed I think, but maybe not yet available. I hope this helps. It drove me crazy for a while.
"unit not found: Classes" appears.
It is solved by click menu "Rescan FPC source directory".Explore Further◄ Browse by Call Number ►
