PiousDesperado needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 85 designs submitted by 47 freelance designers.
I need a logo set for use online and on paper. The concept is simple, and the first great entry will win it
PEER Enterprises, LLC
The word PEER is almost symmetrical, and I want the logo to exaggerate that. "PE" will appear normal. "ER" will be reversed, as though a mirror had cut the word in half. The winning design will include
- one logo of the full company name: PEER Enterprises, LLC.
- one logo of an E and a reversed-E facing each other.
- One of each in black and white with no reflection or shading, for use on stationeryThe word "PEER" should be a blocky, sans-serif text underlined by a smaller "Enterprises, LLC"
- Smooth, shiny, "Web2.0" styling
- Readability
- Cool colors (blues or greens)
- Part 1 (the full company name) should be tight and balanced
- Part 2 (the reflected "EE") should be square for use as a favicon.
- Use precise capitalization of "PEER" and of "PEER Enterprises, LLC"
- Nothing incredibly fancy. It should convert easily to various sizes, especially the all black version.

A Critical Conference
Okay, so I took a little "break" from blogging. In the interim, I watched newspapers slide even deeper into the abyss, got scared, wrote a bunch of reviews and features (one that required me to interview children's novelist Jerry Spinelli, which makes me an awfully cool mom), and applied--and was accepted to--graduate school at the University of Pennsylvania. Isn't that what you do with your time off? And hey, maybe you didn't even notice I was gone, so it's all good.
In any case, I'm planning a blogging blitz this week, starting exactly tomorrow, Tuesday, April 28, when the 2009 American Theatre Critics Association (ATCA) holds its 36th annual conference this year in Sarasota, Florida. The organization is going with the circus metaphor, Sarasota being the home of John and Mable Ringling, but I think it's also a pretty appropriate location for a profession that's being forced into early retirement. I mean, Sarasota may be culturally ascendant--and certainly, it is one of the state's theater centers--but Florida didn't earn the nickname "death's waiting room" among my mishpucha for nothing.
I'll be down there taking notes and passing them on to you. (Shhhh, don't tell anyone, I don't wanna get detention--detention for theater critics being some form of Andrew Lloyd Webber musical, though not Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, because we'll be seeing that one voluntarily, and because I kind of like it.) I'll also be Twittering about the conference every chance I get, using the hashtag #ATCA (unless someone prefers that I just stick with #theatre), and hopefully with some input from you and from my esteemed colleagues. If you have any issues you'd like me to raise, by all means send them my way. And if you haven't signed up for Twitter yet but are online reading this blog entry, well, at this point you're just being perverse.
Alongside the theatrical smorgasbord and festive wine and dines or meet and greets, there will be much discussion about the state of theater criticism in this country. I fully expect this year's conference to be perhaps the most, um, critical in ATCA's entire history. Hope you'll join me.

I wonder if there could be a PvP aspect to the game where you could test you ship against others eventually it would come to raw skill but I like the idea

Re: Community Suggestion Mega Thread
I wish it has as much planets and aliens as Starflight. Some features from RTL, like camera room, door room, shield generator room, drones, robots, room sealing, boarding enemy ship and so on. I also wish that star command had the ability to co-op. Like 2-4 players control te same ship, every person has a task to deal with. Also PLEASE make it possible to sabotage my own ship. I want to break holes into the hull near the dam teleportation points.

Ships have inertial dampeners, noone falls when the ship manouvers.lordgibson wrote:note i have not read the entire post so I'm sorry if i am repeating ideas
there should be a crew quarters. where your crew can rest. not all crew need to rest at once but if your crew doesn't rest they will slowly lose effectiveness over time and eventually die
canteen. pretty much the same thing except with food
family. your crew will want to visit their families on their home worlds
there will of course need to be slightly bigger ships for this
planetary landings you should be able to land on planets
more weapons yes more ship weapons but also more crew weapons maybe conventional (bullet) weapons automatic weapons and "shotgun" weapons
upgrading the size of your ship without having to replace it and restart the storyline
dodge animation. also dodging should knock down some people on the ship friendly or hostile
lock down lock certain doors and make them barricades
more crew capacity the ability to have red shirt crew without having to assign them to a room this will be useful for boarding parties
more ideas coming soon?
Re: Community Suggestion Mega Thread
Bring in the Juggernauts! Where are the heavy hull ships?
Then, how about a random mission creator? There seem to be a lot of planets you can't visit. How about using some of them for a random side mission generator in the game? Bring <item1> to <planet2> through <jump1> after surviving <trap> or <treachery> or <whatever> on <jump2>.

Do these, like the previous 2 quick draws, have the Imperial shoulder pads?
Oh, and just a warning (as this almost happened to me): there are two guns each (the smaller one and the big rifle) for each of the 501st Clones. There is a little baggie taped to the underside of the cardboard just out of sight that contains the other three blasters that aren't in their hands.
I flipped through all five pages of this thread and didn't see a UPC code posted, so could someone fill me in on that number? The only way for our local KMart to know anything about this stuff is to give them a UPC so they can look it up.Thanks!

Jim Leyland has already managed the Detroit Tigers longer than he expected.
Leyland, 68, says he still loves competing
Jim Leyland has already managed the Detroit Tigers longer than he expected.
That doesn't mean he is losing any of his passion for the job.
With the Tigers closing in on a third straight AL Central title, Leyland reflected a bit Friday while awaiting the start of Detroit's three-game series against the Chicago White Sox. The 68-year-old Leyland is finishing up his eighth season with the Tigers.
"I thought I'd probably be here five years, but I'm enjoying it," Leyland said. "I love the atmosphere, I love the competition and I love the team we've got."
One thing Leyland wouldn't discuss was his future with the Tigers.
After leading Detroit to the American League pennant last season, he returned on a one-year extension for 2013.
That's an arrangement the manager seems comfortable with — working year to year and waiting until after the season for any firm announcements.
"We don't talk about my situation until the day after the season, whenever that is," Leyland said. "We're not going to start talking about that. We'll keep that on the back burner. We don't need any attention drawn to that. We need attention on hopefully getting to the playoffs."
Detroit led the AL Central by six games entering Friday night's game against Chicago. The Tigers could clinch the division this weekend at home, which would be a welcome celebration for a city that has filed for bankruptcy protection.
The Tigers were expecting to surpass 3 million in home attendance during this series.
"I'm amazed at the number of fans," Leyland said. "I can't believe, with the economy and everything, the way it's been here, and things of that nature — I mean, it's mind boggling to see this place packed every single night."
Leyland took over the Tigers in 2006 and led them to an AL pennant that year. It was his first managing job since 1999, when he went 72-90 with Colorado, and it was fair to wonder if his managing career was over.
"The dumbest thing I ever did was go to Colorado. I shouldn't have gone there — too far away from home, the ballpark wasn't my kind of game," Leyland said. "They treated me like gold. They made it as nice as they could for me to stay there, but I just didn't like managing 12-11 games. That was all my fault. That was nobody's fault but my own."
When he was hired by Detroit, the Tigers hadn't been to the playoffs since 1987. They are now on the verge of a fourth trip under Leyland.
He and general manager Dave Dombrowski have helped turn the Tigers into a glamorous franchise, with stars like Miguel Cabrera and Justin Verlander in their primes.
Leyland isn't surprised at the team's change in fortune, he just wasn't sure how long his run would be.
"I didn't know what Dave's plan was, to be honest with you," Leyland said. "I just figured, maybe come in and try to be a part of turning it around, and then probably at some point he would look for somebody else. Fortunately, he hasn't so far, so it's worked out pretty good."

Author Notes: I use mild green Poblano chili peppers for this soup. Eventually on the vine they turn red and when they do, they become very HOT. The green ones are relatively mild. All the ingredients are very fresh. But...you can use canned posole and canned peppers. But why? The soup is very simple to make and all the steps are easy. Shortcuts will greatly sacrifice the taste. The extra time to make freshly cooked posole and freshly roasted peppers is well worth the effort. - dymnyno —dymnyno
Food52 Review: WHO: Dymnyno is a winery cook and vintner in the Napa Valley.
WHAT: A nourishing roasted poblano soup with minimal distraction.
HOW: Soak dried hominy, char and peel chiles, simmer, puree, and -- most importantly -- garnish.
WHY WE LOVE IT: Dymnyno stays focused here, and each ingredient shines. Chewy hominy and crunchy cabbage shore up the spicy broth while lime and oregano do a tango. —Food52
Serves: 8
2 pounds green Poblano chili peppers
1 pound chicken breast, roasted or bbq'd
2 cups posole (Rancho Gordo is my favorite)
1 medium onion, diced
1 large bunch of fresh oregano
6 cups chicken stock
1/2 head of Napa cabbage, shredded
3 or 4 cloves of garlic, peeled
1 lime, cut into wedges
salt to taste
- Soak the posole for at least 3 hours or overnight. Add 10 cups of water and about 3 or 4 cloves of peeled garlic and cook over medium heat for about 3 hours or until tender to the taste. Watch carefully as it is cooking and add more water as needed.
- Roast the Poblano peppers over a gas flame, under a broiler or easiest of all , on the BBQ. After all sides are blackened, cover them in a bowl or place in a plastic bag or paper bag. Cool and the skins will slip off effortlessly. Remove the stem and the seeds.
- Saute the onions in a little bit of olive oil. Roast the chicken breasts. (or BBQ them) Shred the chicken.
- In a blender, put the sauteed onions, the garlic cloves, about a third to half of the cooked posole, 3 tablespoons of fresh oregano, the peppers and 4 cups of the chicken stock and blend until smooth. (you may have to do a couple batches)
- Pour the blended mixture into the pot with the remaining posole and add the shredded chicken and the remaining 2 cups of chicken stock and simmer for at least an hour. If the soup seems too thick, add some more chicken stock or water.
- Shred the Napa cabbage and strip the leaves off the oregano. To serve the soup, ladle into soup bowls, put a small mound of cabbage on top and garnish with oregano. Serve with a wedge of fresh lime.

Post subject: Anyone play Stars! ??
Finally bought the game via the internet a few days ago...played the demo for years. Anyone else got it too? I'd love to crank up the old email BBS galaxy conquest engine.
Oh, there's a few links for anyone interested:
The shareware version of the game (registerable via email through
) is available for download (latest version)
though if you want to buy it first then play, just download version 2.7J
. Both shareware and retail are compatible, though your old race files won't work in version J.
Unfortunately, i can't seem to locate the patch files for version J. but will update when i find them (For those of you with an old retail box CD, though i'm sure your registration code will work)

Having said that, i've been looking up stuff on how to host and have been trolling the usenet forums for cool stuff and found a cool map proggie.
rec.games.computer.stars (look for MajorFreak. you'll find me blabbing on about my k3wl 1337 h4xx0r r4c3)
It's called
Xtreme Borders
)and it looks damned nice (let's you figure out the estimated habitability zones of your ENEMIES...which is a really handy thing to know. *g*) This program doesn't have a readme.txt or a help file, and you'll need to fiddle with a couple stars files.
First thing is you go into your windows directory and edit your "stars.ini" file (don't ask why it's put there instead of your stars folder, cause i don't know)
First, find your stars.ini file and edit it
Locate the Misc section
add a new line stating
NewReports = 1
save the ini file
Second thing you need to do is delete any data dumps you've done (you probably have never tried it, but you never know)
Look for and delete any .map .pla .fle files in your stars directory. There. that's it, just install the program, restart the stars software and dump your stats by choosing the "report" menu bar action and selecting all the "dump to text file" options...After that run Xtreme Borders and load your .map file. (the proggie reads all the data. it's simple after that.)

Yes.. I do.. *cough*
I'm having problems using the serials for the 2.7j patch tough... Maybe it's just some new "security feature" that you have to enter the serial each time you start stars!..
PM me your email, and I can mail it to you. ~2mb zip.
EDIT: Seems like the 20 serials included in the *cough* special full version are added to Stars! internal shitlist. Suffice to say, they're not valid serials in 2.7j... Will look for others, but I doubt there's any.

So. I got a working 2.7i full version with lots of serials. That version is NOT compatible with 2.7j... If anyone want that package anyway, just PM me and I can mail it.

Germany backs response if Syria gas use confirmed
BERLIN — The German government is suggesting for the first time that it would support an international military response against Syria if it is confirmed that President Bashar Assad's troops attacked opponents with chemical weapons.
Chancellor Angela Merkel's spokesman Steffen Seibert said Monday that if U.N. inspectors confirm the use of chemical weapons, "it must be punished."
Story Continued Below
Seibert says the government has "very clear evidence that this was a chemical weapons attack." He says he won't speculate on what kind of response might be needed but would not rule out the use of force.
( Also on POLITICO: UN Syria team says vehicle shot at by snipers)
Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle said in a statement that if the attack is confirmed "Germany would be among those who consider consequences to be appropriate."
Merkel on Saturday urged a political solution to the Syrian conflict.

OSTP Request for Information on National Bioeconomy Blueprint
Background on the RFI
On September 16th, President Obama announced that his administration will develop a National Bioeconomy Blueprint detailing administration-wide steps to harness biological research innovations to address national challenges in health, food, energy, and the environment. By better leveraging America's national investments in biological research and development, the Administration aims to stimulate the growth of high-wage, high-skill jobs while improving the lives of all Americans.
The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) has issued a Request for Information to solicit input from all interested parties on how best to develop the National Bioeconomy Blueprint. Comments can be submitted electronically as an email attachment to email@example.com by 11:59pm on December 6th, 2011.
SynBERC has encouraged every member of the synthetic biology community to submit their ideas to OSTP individually or in small groups. This is a unique opportunity to have your voice heard directly at the national level on issues that are of great importance to our community.
Wiki Purpose: Resources & Space for Collaborative Input
Members of the Practices Working Group have expressed interest in both submitting individual responses, and crafting a larger collective response. In order to help develop and refine our responses, we have created below spaces for collaborative developing and refining ideas and collecting relevant resources.
The seventeen specific requests for input outlined in the RFI are listed below.
Please add specific responses (most useful when in the form of complete but succinct ideas that we can pull together), comments and/or responses/feedback to others' ideas. Make sure attribute your contribution and list your name in the contributors section. Please include references where possible.
General references/resources should be added to the resources section.
Contact Megan (firstname.lastname@example.com) if you have questions or need help using the wiki editing tools.

RFI Detailed Information
General Info
Request for Information: Building A 21st Century Bioeconomy
ACTION: Notice of Request for Information (RFI).
SUMMARY: The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to solicit input from all interested parties regarding recommendations for harnessing biological research innovations to meet national challenges in health, food, energy, and the environment while creating high-wage, high-skill jobs.
The public input provided through this Notice will inform the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) as it works with Federal agencies and other stakeholders to develop a National Bioeconomy Blueprint.
DATES: October 7, 2011--December 6, 2011.
ADDRESSES: submit responses to email@example.com.
Supplementary Information
The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to solicit input from all interested parties regarding recommendations for harnessing biological research innovations to meet national challenges in health, food, energy, and the environment while creating high-wage, high-skill jobs.
The public input provided through this Notice will inform the Office of Science and Technology Policy as it works with Federal agencies and other stakeholders to develop a National Bioeconomy Blueprint.
On September 16, 2011, President Obama announced that his Administration will develop a National Bioeconomy Blueprint detailing Administration-wide steps to harness biological research innovations to address national challenges in health, food, energy, and the environment. Biological research underpins the foundation of a significant portion of our economy. By better leveraging our national investments in biological research and development, the Administration will grow the jobs of the future and improve the lives of all Americans.
Twenty-first century advances in biological research and technologies are poised to return tremendous public benefits. For example, advances in human genome-informed personalized medicine and data analytics could be combined to improve human health in novel ways. In bio-based industry, biological design can create new opportunities for biofuels, chemicals, materials, and energy-efficient manufacturing processes.
The National Bioeconomy Blueprint will identify strategies to meet grand challenges, promote commercialization and entrepreneurship, focus research and development investments in areas that will provide the foundation for the bioeconomy, expand workforce training to prepare the next generation of scientists and engineers for the bioeconomy jobs of the future, identify regulatory reforms that will reduce unnecessary burdens on innovators while protecting health and safety, and describe appropriate public-private partnerships to accelerate innovation in key areas.
RFI Questions
OSTP seeks comment on the questions listed below to inform the development of the National Bioeconomy Blueprint:
Grand Challenges
President Obama has identified grand challenges as an important element of his innovation strategy, such as smart anti-cancer therapeutics that kill cancer cells and leave their normal neighbors untouched; early detection of dozens of diseases from a saliva sample; personalized medicine that enables the prescription of the right dose of the right drug for the right person; a universal vaccine for influenza that will protect against all future strains; and regenerative medicine that can end the agonizing wait for an organ transplant.
Question 1
Identify one or more grand challenges for the bioeconomy in areas such as health, energy, the environment, and agriculture, and suggest concrete steps that would need to be taken by the Federal government, companies, nonprofit organizations, foundations, and other stakeholders to achieve this goal.
Research & Development
R&D investments, particularly in platform technologies, can support advances in health, energy, the environment, and agriculture, and accelerate the pace of discovery in fundamental life sciences research.
Question 2
Constrained Federal budgets require a focus on high-impact research and innovation opportunities. With this in mind, what should be the Federal funding priorities in research, technologies, and infrastructure to provide the foundation for the bioeconomy?
Question 3
What are the critical technical challenges that prevent high throughput approaches from accelerating bioeconomy-related research? What specific research priorities could address those challenges? Are there particular goals that the research community and industry could rally behind (e.g., NIH $1,000 genome initiative)?
Question 4
The speed of DNA sequencing has outstripped advances in the ability to extract information from genomes given the large number of genes of unknown function in genomes; as many as 70% of genes in a genome have poorly or unknown functions. All areas of scientific inquiry that utilize genome information could benefit from advances in this area. What new multidisciplinary funding efforts could revolutionize predictions of protein function for genes?
Moving Life Sciences Breakthroughs from Lab to Market
It is a challenge to commercialize advances in the life sciences because of the risk, expense, and need for many years of sustained investment. The Administration is interested in steps that it can take directly, but is also interested in encouraging experimentation with new private-sector-led models for funding commercialization of life sciences research.
Question 5
What are the barriers preventing biological research discoveries from moving from the lab to commercial markets? What specific steps can Federal agencies take to address these shortcomings? Please specify whether these changes apply to academic labs, government labs, or both.
Question 6
What specific changes to Federal Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs would help accelerate commercialization of federally-funded bioeconomy-related research?
Question 7
What high-value data might the government release in the spirit of its open government agenda that could spur the development of new products and services in the bioeconomy?
Question 8
What are the challenges associated with existing private-sector models (e.g. venture funding) for financing entrepreneurial bioeconomy firms and what specific steps can agencies take to address those challenges?
Workforce development
Investment in education and training is essential to creating a technically-skilled 21st century American bioeconomy workforce.
Question 9
The majority of doctorate recipients will accept jobs outside of academia. What modifications should be made to professional training programs to better prepare scientists and engineers for private-sector bioeconomy jobs?
Question 10
What roles should community colleges play in training the bioeconomy workforce of the future?
Question 11
What role should the private sector play in training future bioeconomy scientists and engineers?
Question 12
What role might government, industry, and academia play in encouraging successful entrepreneurship by faculty, graduate students, and postdocs?
Reducing Regulatory Barriers to the Bioeconomy
As President Obama has stated, our regulatory system must identify and use the best, most innovative, and least burdensome tools for achieving regulatory ends and protect public health, welfare, safety, and our environment while promoting economic growth, innovation, competitiveness, and job creation.
Question 13
What specific regulations are unnecessarily slowing or preventing bioinnovation? Please cite evidence that the identified regulation(s) are a) slowing innovation, and b) could be reformed or streamlined while protecting public health, safety, and the environment.
Question 14
What specific steps can Federal agencies take to improve the predictability and transparency of the regulatory system? (Please specify the relevant agency.)
Question 15
What specific improvements in the regulatory processes for drugs, diagnostics, medical devices, and agricultural biotechnology should federal agencies implement? What challenges do new or emerging technologies pose to the existing regulatory structure and what can agencies do to address those challenges?
Question 16
What are the highest impact opportunities for public-private partnerships related to the bioeconomy? What shared goals would these partnerships pursue, which stakeholders might participate, and what mutually reinforcing commitments might they make to support the partnership?
Question 17
What are the highest impact opportunities for pre-competitive collaboration in the life sciences, and what role should the government play in developing them? What can be learned from existing models for precompetitive collaboration both inside and outside the life-sciences sector? What are the barriers to such collaborations and how might they be removed or overcome?

The Summer issue of the Claremont Review of Books is in the mail and online for subscribers (subscribe here). We have picked four pieces to preview for readers, beginning this morning and continuing through Thursday. As usual, the new issue is great.
Our friends at the Claremont Institute — of which the CRB is the flagship publication — have made a special contribution to the study of American politics. Their mission from the outset has been to restore the principles of the American Founding to their rightful, preeminent authority in our national life. These principles are expressed most eloquently in the Declaration of Independence, which proclaims that "all men are created equal and are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights." To recover the founding principles in our political life means recovering a limited and accountable government that respects private property, promotes stable family life, and maintains a strong national defense. After toiling in the vineyards more than 30 years, their time seems to have come around.
The Claremont crew and the CRB have deepened our understanding of American politics in several ways, none more important than by their study of the Progressives, whose legacy is playing itself out in the Obama administration. Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness compiles some of the highlights of the CRB's past 10 years. Jonah Goldberg brings his accustomed flair and insight to his review of the book. He explicates and credits the "indispensable contribution" of the CRB to the understanding of our politics, and the author of Liberal Fascism knows whereof he speaks.
A case in point illustrating the Claremont Institute's contribution to the understanding of our politics is CRB editor Charles Kesler's forthcoming I Am the Change: Barack Obama and the Crisis of American Liberalism. The new issue of the CRB publishes a tantalizing excerpt: "The crisis of liberalism." Please check it out.
STEVE adds: I'll have an extended review/essay about Kesler's I Am the Change in the next issue of the CRB this fall. Something to look forward to!

This item took two weeks to arrive (to the UK from the US) and I returned it immediately, as the design was deceptively messy, and looked as though it had unintentional stains to top and bottom. I had to pay for the return postage, but as yet (22 days later), I have yet to receive a refund. Altogether unsatisfactory.

text: Market Outlook: Spring Pork, Soybean Stock, and Wheat Exports...Oh, my! April 3, 2013 04:16 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Top Producer Editors Email By Julie Douglas and Jeanne Bernick Spring Pork Price Recovery Threatened Live-hog and futures prices fell in recent weeks as gas prices soared, budgets threatened to furlough meat inspectors and global markets reduced exports, says Chris Hurt, Purdue University Extension ag economist. Economists and producers had been hopeful that U.S. prices would return to at least break-even this spring, but a $9-per-hundredweight drop in live-hog prices and a $7.50-per-hundredweight drop in futures prices since February has dampered some of the optimism. "The current outlook suggests the industry will have to wait until late summer for break-even conditions when feed prices can decline if more normal corn and soybean crops develop," Hurt says. "With the more cautious tone, hog prices are expected to only average about $66 in the second quarter, with costs of production near $70 per live hundredweight." Price weakness comes from demand concerns, Hurt says. The first of those concerns is the weakened buying power of U.S. consumers. Unusually high gasoline prices for this time of year and increased payroll taxes since Jan. 1 have reduced the buying power of American consumers. Second, Hurt says the potential reduction in federal meat inspectors as a result of automatic spending cuts mandated by sequestration could mean animal-processing plants would operate fewer days of the year. If plants shut down some days, they wouldn't buy hogs, thus weakening hog prices. The biggest problem has been with pork exports, which account for 23% of total U.S. pork production. In February, Russia banned imports of U.S. pork because of ractopamine concerns. Then China announced they were going to more closely check imports of U.S. pork for ractopamine. Last year, China's pork purchases from the U.S. represented 3.4% of total U.S. production. In addition to loss of Russian and Chinese markets, the value of the Japanese yen has fallen by 12% so far this year and by 16% since October. The decline means U.S. pork prices are higher in Japan by similar percentages. Japan bought 6% of the U.S. pork production volume in 2012, making the country the largest U.S. pork buyer. The market problems have created a less-then-welcome outlook for hog producers. Soybean Stock Levels Push Prices Higher Smaller soybean stocks are setting the price for the 2012/13 marketing year. The 2012 soybean crop was 79 million bushels smaller than the 2011 crop, meaning the current marketing year supply is 121 million bushels (3.6%) smaller than the previous year. Consumption of U.S. soybeans during the first quarter of the marketing year, however, was record large and the pace of consumption remained high during much of the second quarter, says Darrell Good, University of Illinois economist. Watch South America. The rapid pace of consumption reflects continued strong export demand for soybeans and soybean products and the drought reduced South American harvest in 2012. The market was willing to let consumption proceed at such a rapid pace in anticipation of a seasonal slowdown in export demand during the last half of the marketing year when South American supplies become more abundant. "With prospects of a sharp rebound in South American production to a record level in 2013, it has been anticipated that the slowdown in consumption of U.S. soybeans would be sharper than normal this year and that yearending stocks would be maintained at pipeline levels," Good explains. The magnitude of the required slowdown will in turn determine whether soybean prices need to adjust higher in order to slow the pace of consumption to more normal or whether supplies are large enough to allow prices to continue to move lower. Projected Wheat Exports Lowered Strong Competition. Demand competition from the EU and a relatively strong currency have further reduced prospects for U.S. wheat shipments. U.S. wheat exports for 2012/13 are projected to be 25 million bushels lower in March, according to USDA's Wheat Outlook released March 12. Fewer exports mean a boost to projected ending stocks by the same amount. Continued strong competition, mainly from the EU, and a relatively strong currency, further reduces prospects for U.S. wheat shipments, reports Olga Liefert, a USDA economist for the Department's monthly Wheat Outlook. USDA lowered exports for hard red winter wheat by 25 million bushels. Exports also reduced white wheat by exports by 10 million bushels and hard red spring wheat by 5 million bushels, but raised soft red winter wheat by 15 million bushels. All-wheat imports remain unchanged, but adjustments have been made among the classes. Trade changes largely reflect the pace of sales and shipment to date, Liefert says. USDA's projected range for the season-average farm price for 2012/13 was lowered 10¢ at the midpoint and narrowed to a range of $7.65 to $7.95 per bushel. USDA increased numbers for world wheat production for 2012/13 by 1.9 million tons to 655.5 million tons, due mostly to upward revisions by India, the EU and Nepal, Liefert says. Wheat use is up slightly as of March, according to USDA, with feed and residual use up 1.3 million tons and food use lower by 0.8 million tons. Overall, Liefert says, world wheat trade is projected to be larger. Back to news

What if you could have a gentle, peaceful and joyful natural birth?
What if you could eliminate fears you have about labor and birth?
What if your labor was comfortable and your contractions mostly felt like pressure and little to no pain, with little to no pain medication?
It's possible with Hypnobabies!
Hypnobabies is a complete childbirth education program that combines the best information for having a safe pregnancy and birth with instruction in hypnosis for childbirth. Based on Gerald Kein's Painless Childbirth program, you can learn simple self-hypnosis techniques that are used in medical settings when patients cannot use anesthesia for procedures or surgery.
This six-week, 18-hour course is thorough and provides students with weekly hypnosis practice that helps prepare couples and single moms for their final exam, which is, of course, childbirth! The techniques students learn will benefit them wherever they have their baby –at the hospital, a birth center or at home.
Many Hypnobabies students who have taken this course have experienced one or more of the following results:
· The use of fewer drugs or no drugs, which means less risk of side effects for mothers and babies.
· Shorter labors, because mothers are more relaxed when pain and fear are minimized or eliminated.
· A calmer birth environment because of calmer, more relaxed mothers.
· Fewer medical interventions are necessary because of the wonderful progress moms are able to make on their own during labor.
· Birth partners are more relaxed because of the knowledge they've gained and from the hypnosis they've helped mothers with.
· Students learn how to re-train their minds and replace negative messages they've learned over time about labor and birth with positive messages. This helps mothers to be calm and confident during labor and birth.
· Fewer drugs and medical interventions = faster recovery and healthier mothers and babies
Here is what some Hypnobabies students have shared about their birth experiences:
"I am so grateful for having had the opportunity to use self hypnosis for Mauro's birth. Not only did it allow me to have the kind of birth I wanted for him and for me, but it also taught me the incredible power of the mind and the value of deep relaxation. I hope to be able to continue to use those lessons throughout the rest of my life." – Mauro's mom
"I was completely calm and relaxed during the entire 14 hour labor. I read all of these stories… about painless birth and thought that must be nice, I am just hoping to be able to develop some tools to help me cope. I ended up with a pain free amazing hospital birth, more than I could have ever asked for. It is a story I have been sharing with anyone who will listen. Your mind and Hypnobabies are amazing tools!" – Reese's mom
" I could hear everyone in the room, I was aware of what was going on, I could change positions, yet I was so concentrated on opening my body during contractions. In between contractions, even at 8 cm and with the waves coming on fast, I actually felt myself nod off to sleep!" – Victor's mom

From the start the boat was fashioned after many traditional New England skiffs with a lapstrake hull, a classic shearline and stout center console shape. We took this classic design and added many elements that distinguish this boat from so many other skiffs. Teak accents were added to the rub rail, center console top and helm seat. Custom hardware was chosen to compliment the high-end quality of the boat. Many more fit and finish details were addressed to make the RB 18 one of the most sought after small boats in the US market
