Are people responsible? Heck yes, people should live within their means and be happy to rent rather then getting into mortgages they can't afford.
Is Wall Street responsible? Yes and No, if you read the articles, it should be clear that some banks loaned money for fear of government prosecution. But, there were also greedy people who took advantage of the laxed lending standards.
And for people to miss the point, and think that we need government to protect us from this type of stuff, remember it was government that STARTED the whole mess with the Community Reinvestment Act!
Banks won't lend to people who can't afford it unless the government makes them and bails them out when they go bankrupt. If we had a government that would let banks fail when they make bad decisions, then banks wouldn't have taken such awful risks. You see, it precisely government involvement that mucks everything up. Let people make common sense decisions on their own.

I repeat, the country will not turn Socialist- it just won't happen, and only the Socialist Party of the US wants that- and there are like 20 members (facetious).
1: any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods
2 a: a system of society or group living in which there is no private property b: a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state
3: a stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism and distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done
Socialism, Any of various theories or systems of social organization in which the means of producing and distributing goods is owned collectively or by a centralized government that often plans and controls the economy.
Obama Health Plan:
page 6, #4 in particular; it require large employers to provide healthcare or contribute to the public plan, expanding Medicaid and SCHIP.
Did you catch that, there is no freedom there, you either offer health insurance or pay into the government plan. That is one huge step towards complete government run health care. Remember the definition of socialism; government ownership and administration. They own their part of the healthcare and are making sure private companies administer healthcare or pay for the government plan.
Another highlight, page 7 #7
Obamas Tax Plan:
Just read through it the language is constantly in terms of benefiting the poorest, while taxing the wealthy more. Direct quote; Obama will ask the wealthies 2% of families to give back a portion of the taxes they have received. Do you see the language, Obama thinks this money is the governments! Give back, no the government gave it back when they gave the tax break, it was NEVER their money. Received, oh thank you wonderful government for allowing me to receive my taxes back (read this thick with sarcasm). The government receives my taxes to them.
Remember the definition of socialism, it is about government ownership. Obama clearly thinks that your money is the governments, how else can you give it back!
.and Im sure everyone heard, but in case you didnt, here is the spread the wealth clip
or, of course, taxes are patriotic, thanks Biden

I will have to respectfully disagree with you. Welfare and other programs like it are growing at an alarming rate. What else is that but socialism, you are taking large portions of money and giving it to people who haven't earned it? And who is making those decisions...government. They are taking ownership of your money and administering it.
Giving to the needy, my Christian friends, is the Church's job. It is only charitable to give to the poor when it is a free choice. Now, I realize that we don't have a complete Christian society. Therefore, I acknowledge the need for sometypes of programs, but I feel they need extensive reform because the rampant abuse of welfare programs only promotes laziness which does not make our country a better place. People taking initiative makes our country better.
As discussed above with foreign aid, it is also done much more efficiently, because when it is YOUR dollars going to help the poor, you make sure that you are giving to a church or charity that is reputable!
I don't think the country will ever turn completely socialist if it was obvious that it was happening. But I worry that we create a sense of dependency on the government which makes it easier for the next "government program" to be initiated. Hence, we have a slow trip into socialism, without it ever being called by name. I do believe many new programs have good intentions, but in the long run are detrimental to our society.
I do not have an economics degree, but I do enjoy the subject and read up on it when I can. I (as you can probably tell) believe in the Austrian School. I think that the central economic fallacy that is perpetrated by these government programs is the failure to look at both the short and long term consequences and the programs effects on, not just one social group, but all social groups. Most programs are short-sighted and only focused on one group.

But, as you referenced Joe Biden's comments about taxes being patriotic, I believe that it is our duty as Americans, having been given the opportunity and the free will to grow up and become whomever we please and do whatever we want, to pay taxes. No, we won't always agree on what the government spends the money on, but there's little we can do about that except elect the people that we think will allocate the money appropriately. I think it is selfish to think otherwise.
As for economics, I don't shun the laissez-faire approach, though I prefer Keynesian economics myself. In economics, all theories are based on the underlying assumption that the "market is efficient." Well, the market is very inefficient, but the Fed helps with that, as do other Government regulations. Yes, we make mistakes, but in a laissez-faire environment there would be more things out of control.
I profoundly disagree with the second comment I bolded (is that a word, lol!). I guess we will have to agree to disagree on that. To quote Adam Smith, "What is prudence in the conduct of every private family can scarcely by folly in that of a great kingdom." I think the government pursues policies that distort the market and common sense would say they are detrimental. One example of what the government does that no thrifty family would do is engage in deficit spending, leading to inflation. Now, I acknowledge, that many people are getting themselves into debt, but Adam Smith was referring to people who were prudent.

Obama is our best chance for peace because he will bring a responsible end to the Iraq War for one reason. The Iraqis are agreeing to sign the contract now that Obama has won because they believe he will actually withdraw by 2012. They hesitated because they were afraid if McCain won then the U.S. wouldn't withdraw. The Iraqi military is getting stronger by the day and things are improving greatly in Iraq but it is far from peace. Obama isn't going to pull all troops out immediately and turn it into a disaster. Ending the war in Iraq will start the process of peace. Had McCain won there is a great chance we would have bombed Iran and possibly started another war. That would have been three middle east countries in a row Iraq/Iran/Afganistan. War is not a game of tick-tac-toe we dont need that nor can we afford it financially or militarily. People want to criticize Obama because he said he is willing to talk to leaders of rogue nations such as Iran like the current way we are doing business is working its a joke. We are taught as children that talking things out gets you much farther than ignoring each other or fighting. Tell me the last time a war has solved any problems. The answer is WWII and that is because we were dragged into it. Another reason Obama can bring peace is because other leaders respect him and believe he is not going to treat them like trash and ignore them.
Why do you feel other countries' perceptions of the USA matter so much? Are you assuming that all other countries are doing most everything correctly and have such great judgement that we should care what they think of us? How does another countries judgement effect the well-being of the USA? If other countries have policies that differ from ours and therefore think the USA is bad, stupid, or evil...Why should that matter to us? Isn't it courageous to go ahead to do what it right even in the face of opposition?
Other countries perceptions are very important. It is great to be proud to be an American but lets face it we need other nations. We need them for natural resources and for our economy. Not to mention that having friends in the world means that you have less enemies that want to see you go down in flames.
Discipline makes you mentally and physically tough!
Currently making everything stronger!!
Once I stick to the program I am going to get really strong.
Laissez-faire has never truly been tested in any modern economy.
Public welfare economics analysis has shown that there is a lot of consumer surplus with government-provided public goods. Anything from public parks to government-backed student loans.
I dunno man, there's really nothing we can do about it so whatever It was a fun debate at least.

you guys are, and don't get me wrong, being very silly...
You speak of peace as if it is even an option... Look at the history of the world. SHow me when there was peace? You show me peace, and i will show you a hundred reasons why THIS DAY IN AGE is 100 times less likely to have peace then in the past. The biggest reason is this: technology. If someone wants to pick a fight with someone half way around the world, they can. Unlike 1000 years ago when it was practically impossible to fight anyone who didn't live in your continental neighborhood... not so anymore... shoot we could literally launch an attack on mars if we wanted to, now...
Do not think peace will come, your fooling yourselves. If not this war, there will always be another...
go ahead and wish for peace. I have better things to do...

P3 Update
James Thompson has not set their biography yet
If you haven't already done so, be sure to check out the April issue of P3 Update.
The Hunger Games is making quite a stir at the box office — it's currently the top-grossing film of the year, taking in over $250 million in just 10 days. The popular film was a winning collaboration for Filmmaker Gary Ross and Cinematographer Tom Stern, ASC, AFC who both decided to shoot this futuristic story on film stock rather than with the many digital cameras now available. The April issue of P3 Update has the inside scoop on the making of The Hunger Games as we talk with Stern about his tricks of the trade and the challenges of lighting and shooting an action-based story on location in North Carolina.
We also focus on future with "From 3D to 5D Production of Live Sports in the U.S.," which explores how 3D technology is creating better ways to capture live-broadcast footage that can be viewed anywhere. New technology incorporates 2D and 3D rigs so camera operators can still do what they do best — shooting great live-sports action — while productions save valuable space in live-event arenas. And the Cameron/Pace Group's "Shadow D" rig is reshaping how live 3D content is captured.
P3 sits down with acclaimed Filmmaker Martin Scorsese to get his take on shooting Hugo, his very first 3D film. Scorsese takes us back to the beginning of moviemaking as he recounts the experience. We also go on location to the U.S. Virgin Islands to see the advantages that are available to filmmakers looking to shoot in the Caribbean. Many films have been shot on the lush islands of St. Thomas, St. John and St. Croix, and now the advent of DSLR technology has local USVI filmmakers stepping up to create their own content. The U.S. Virgin Islands have a strong infrastructure and support system to tackle any size production, and they welcome the opportunity to help you to tell your story.
Our April issue also included a spotlight on the Midwest Region of the U.S. The states of Illinois, Indiana, Kansas and Missouri all offer professional local talent and other key advantages for visiting productions. And be sure to read this month's Test Drive on third-party plugins and our Post Q&A with Technicolor Senior Digital Colorist Dave Cole, who discusses color correcting in a digital workflow environment.
I do hope you enjoy our April issue.
At this year's Sundance Film Festival, I had an unexpected encounter with the representatives from Timberland, one of my favorite brands. While they had a room filled with their new clothing line, their conversation was all about saving the planet. As soon as I walked through the door, a sales rep asked me to make a pledge about making an environmental impact, while an energized spokesperson proclaimed Timberland as a very socially responsible company with the credo: "Every little bit makes a difference." I immediately thought "Wow!" and proceeded to do my part. For every pledge Timberline received at Sundance 2012, the company planted a tree — and the world can be a much better place if we all pitch in.
P3 Update's recent decision to go completely digital certainly supports this endeavor. In fact, since you're reading this right now, you're already aware of the advantages of accessing data on your computer, tablet, iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, BlackBerry or Android mobile devices. There's really no need to destroy trees — we no longer need to print over 30,000 copies and mail them all over the world. And I'm sure you'll agree that not only is digital data easy to read, it's a new form of business communication and social interaction. For instance, if you like a product or service in this issue and want to learn more about it, just click on it and you'll go directly to the manufacturer or service company Website where you will find out everything you need to know about their offerings. This protocol is the way of the future and the future is now.
This has been an important transition for P3 Update, and we are thrilled to get this first fully digital issue to our readers — and what an issue it is. In the February 2012 issue, you'll find stories on 3D production and postproduction, including a look at the Cameron/Pace Group's latest 3D effort, Director Wim Wenders' take on his first 3D film Pina, and an understanding of the 3D process by Stereographer and 3D Artist Brian Gardner, an architect behind the art of stereoscopy. Spotlights in this issue include Western Canada and San Diego, Calif. as well as Cinematographer Jerzy Zielinski, ASC who discusses his latest film Private Peaceful. Also, be sure to read up on the filmmakers and service companies that recently ventured to Park City, Utah for the 2012 Sundance and Slamdance film festivals.
I really hope you enjoy reading this new digital issue of P3 Update. Please email it to your friends or let them know about it through social networks. You can invite them to join the P3 Update community and subscribe to the magazine for free at www.p3update.com.
As we enter a new year, there's a lot to be thankful for and new beginnings to look forward to. At P3 Update, we're thankful for all of the wonderful times and the great people we've had the good fortune to work with over the last 25 years. We've been blessed with the opportunity to provide our readers with resourceful industry content through our print publication that has helped to shape the production community.
For 2012, we plan to join the movement to save the environment and make a solid effort to go green. And, after careful consideration, we've made the decision to discontinue P3 Update's print issue. At the Consumer Electronics Show in January 2011, as more than 100 new tablets were introduced, we realized that change was inevitable when we saw how wonderful P3 Update looked on a tablet and how easy it was to navigate and read. I recently presented our idea for change to readers at several events. While initial reactions were "Oh no, we love getting our print edition each month," our readers soon realized that they can read P3 on their computers, tablets or cell phones just as easily — and all agreed that we need to take responsibility for our planet. We now see that going all digital opens up a whole new world of opportunities. While P3 was once strictly a Hollywood book, we now have readers from various parts of the world, including places as far away as India, Greece and Turkey.
So as we do our part to save trees, we hope that you'll stay connected with us by visiting our website at P3update.com and signing up for our digital editions, e-newsletters and social sites to remain a part of the P3 Update community. In 2012, not only will we continue to bring you compelling content, updates and industry profiles in preproduction, production and postproduction along with film commission and technology news and information, we'll bring you more of these things more often. And all of the tools available online will help us to easily get this information to you to keep you updated about your industry.
Thanks for being a part of the P3 Update community and we look forward to staying connected with you in 2012.
As you've probably heard, this year marks P3 Updates 25th year in business. Our August issue was dedicated to this milestone. In this blog, I want to share with you my Publishers Letter (below) from that issue just in case you didn't get your copy. Let me know what you think.
Publisher's Letter
A long time ago in Hollywood, most productions took place on studio lots. As filmmaking grew in the late '70s and early '80s, productions took to the streets of Los Angeles, and an Advisory Committee made up of film and television producers, major studio executives and other industry leaders from key Hollywood companies was created to advise Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley. Held at the Sportsman's Lodge in Studio City, one of the Committee's monthly meetings sparked a suggestion for an informational communication tool that would address Los Angeles filming issues. I took that idea and ran with it, and in the summer of 1986 I published the first issue of Location Manager Update.
As film commissioners surfaced to promote their regions, they looked to our widely read publication as a vehicle to reach the Hollywood production community. In 1987, the magazine was renamed Location Update until 2001 when it became Production Update. This change was a direct result of our growing readership that included international communities, producers, directors and other filmmakers wanting to know more about technological advances in the industry. Eventually we became P3 Update (P3) to help better identify us as we moved into coverage of preproduction, production and postproduction.
The last 25 years have been an amazing journey as the pages of P3 continued to address global filmmaking. The core of the magazine's success has been our dedicated and expanding readership; our partners (including many advertisers and sponsors that grace the pages of P3); and the writers, photographers and staff that have contributed to P3's long-standing mission to educate and update content creators and visionaries on the next generation of production tools and location information to help them to tell their stories.
As P3's founder and publisher, I have experienced a miraculous journey. I've been fortunate to travel to disparate parts of the world to visit production communities and meet many leading government officials, including mayors, governors, prime ministers and even a president. I've also developed wonderful relationships with the world's leading filmmakers and manufacturers while communicating information about the evolving technology used to capture content.
Currently, Hollywood and the publishing industry are both experiencing a transformation. The ways of "Old Hollywood" are now a thing of the past as the Internet and new technology change the way consumers experience entertainment. Tablets are taking off and soon any and all information will be made instantly available to consumers, and, at P3, we realize that we need to continually give production updates to our readers. We now provide content in print as well as through our digital edition (a replica of our print edition) via our website, social networking, ENewsletters and emails. If you're not already part of our P3 Community, we hope that you'll choose to stay updated like many Hollywood professionals by revisiting our website daily at www.p3update.com.
Thank you for allowing me to be part of your lives during the last 25 years. The P3 staff and I look forward to continuing to bring you informative production updates on the entertainment industry.
Several years ago Barber Tech Owner Eddie Barber pitched me on the "Steddiepod," a device he labeled as "The World's Most Versatile Camera Support System." But I saw a problem in that cameras at that time were big and bulky while the Steddiepod system was developed for smaller camera packages that weigh under 7 pounds — and who would've thought you could shoot a major movie on such a small camera?
Now that many cameras are smaller and lighter, I thought the Steddiepod was worth a second look. With my Canon 5D in hand I recently headed up to the Sundance Film Festival with Barber Tech's Steddiepod and a new WaCru DSLR Cage. I mounted the WaCru rig to the Steddiepod with a quick release so I could easily grab handheld shots. What an amazing setup!
The Steddiepod was developed long before its time and now Barber has since perfected this amazing camera support system. Not only was the entire system light enough to carry all over Sundance, the setup was quick and easy and helped me capture some amazing shots. For instance, the filmmakers' reception held at the Sundance House was so packed that I couldn't get near the podium. So I just extended the Steddiepod and supported it against my body to shoot over the crowd. It has a special balancing system that allowed me to get some great stabilized shots even when I was on the go. I also used it as a tripod and stabilizer to get steady shots of the crowd.
I later popped the WaCru rig off the Steddiepod and pushed my way through the crowd to get an interview with a filmmaker. And with the WaCru rig's elegant design, I could easily attach my Litepanel Micro light and Rode microphone. This setup made it really easy to capture Sundance footage on the go and it saved me a lot of time while I got some fantastic shots.
The Barber Tech Steddiepod costs $499 and can be found at www.barbertvp.com; the WaCru DSLR Cage costs $239 and can be found at www.wacru.com.
The recent 2011 CES was filled with 3D opportunities. In fact, I ran into Paramount's VP of Digital Mastering Bryan Ellenburg, who was there to scope out some 3D options. Impressed with Panasonic's 3D camera solutions, he heard that they now offer 24p recording and wondered if the cameras would work well for 3D films like Jackass 3D, which used bulkier 3D-camera setups.
I later met with Jim Wickizer, marketing manager at Panasonic Solutions Company, who confirmed that the Panasonic just added 1080/24p production capabilities to the AK-HC1800, which delivers exceptional HD video with its 2/3-inch 2.2-megapixel 3-CCD camera. The company had two camera setups on the show floor. The AK-HC1800 has come a long way and was primarily used for high-end broadcast events that are moving towards capturing 3D content. But, with the 1080/24p recording capabilities, Wickizer says this camera is now ideal for shooting projects that want a film look, such as episodic TV production, and it's ideal for working on location.
Wickizer also demonstrated Panasonic's AV-HS450N multi-format switcher, which now offers 3D stereoscopic production capabilities. The company added a new 3D board and software that transformed the AV-HS450N HD/SD switcher into a powerful live 3D stereoscopic switcher. Wickizer noted that producers are becoming cost conscious and Panasonic is developing 3D cost-effective tools to help them get exceptional quality for less. The Panasonic booth also had several 3D production monitors to showcase a complete 3D solutions package for broadcasters. Wickizer added that Panasonic will be coming out with some new content-capturing solutions for NAB 2011, but he wouldn't let those cats out of the bag (no matter how hard I tried to bribe him). I guess we'll just have to wait a few months until NAB to see the goods.

Planting earlier than usual this springIt's not unusual for William Ferguson to start planting his spring wheat in March. The Witten, S.D., farmer, who began planting in mid-March this year, is in a section of south-central South Dakota where early planting is fairly common.
By: Jonathan Knutson, Agweek
It's not unusual for William Ferguson to start planting his spring wheat in March. The Witten, S.D., farmer, who began planting in mid-March this year, is in a section of south-central South Dakota where early planting is fairly common.
"We've had good results," he says of early planting.
What's unusual this spring is that a lot of farmers across the Upper Midwest will be planting early, provided the weather continues to cooperate.
As Lance Peterson, an Underwood, Minn., farmer, notes, the combination of little snow and exceptionally warm March temperatures allowed fields to dry and soil temperatures to rise much faster than normal.
If current conditions hold, many farmers in the region will begin planting at least a week earlier than normal, farmers and others involved in area agriculture say.
The number of area farmers planting wheat, in particular, could really pick up during the week of March 26.
Area farmers were calling Jochum Wiersma, an agronomist with the University of Minnesota Extension Service in Crookston, by the middle of March.
"They keep asking, 'Can I go (start planting wheat)? Can I go?'" he says.
Wheat is the first of the region's main crops to be planted. A cool-season grass, wheat typically fares best when it matures before the arrival of late-summer heat.
Most other crops won't be planted this early, even if field and weather conditions would allow it, ag officials say.
Planting too soon would increase the risk of frost damage to young, emerging plants. It also would jeopardize potential payments from the federal crop insurance program.
Planting decisions are motivated, in part, by what federal crop insurance identifies as the "earliest planting date." That's "the earliest date an insured crop can be planted and qualify for a replanting payment," according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Risk Management Agency.
Farmers who plant too early won't qualify for replanting payments if they need to replant a field because of bad weather.
The date varies by crop from state to state and even from county to county, depending on the risk associated with the crop in that state or county. For instance, the earliest planting date for wheat in southern Minnesota was March 21. The date changes to March 27 in central Minnesota and April 1 in northern Minnesota.
Whatever else this spring may bring, producers apparently won't be confronted with a repeat of 2011, when soggy conditions made planting a muddy mess and prevented many fields from being planted.
"We all have last year on our minds," says Leonard Schock, a Vida, Mont., farmer who expects to be in his fields earlier than usual.
Planting early isn't free of risk — Schock points to 2008, when freezing temperatures devastated his early planted mustard — but it beats fighting wet fields to get in the crop, he says.
That better-than-last-year attitude translates into "a lot of optimism," says Tom Lilja, executive director of the North Dakota Corn Growers Association.
Not everything is rosy
But while an early start to planting is welcome, other aspects of the 2012 growing season aren't quite so positive, at least compared with the situation a year ago.
The prices of some crops, particularly wheat, are lower than a year ago.
A year ago, spring wheat fetched an average $9.27 per bushel at area elevators surveyed weekly by Agweek. The average price for spring wheat this spring at those elevators is $8.20 per bushel.
Other concerns this spring:
• Expenses generally have risen.
• Crop insurance coverage isn't quite as favorable as it was in the spring of 2011.
• Seed shortages cloud the planting outlook. Planting problems a year ago limited the number of acres that produced seed for this year's crop.
"There definitely are shortages," says Justin Downs, whose family owns and operates Montana Seed and Feed in Billings.
Seed for pulse crops are in particularly short supply, he says.
Farmers in his area have been planting for weeks, although that's not unusual, he notes.
Drought conditions
Most of North Dakota and South Dakota, as well as part of eastern Montana, are "abnormally dry," according to the U.S. Drought Monitor, a partnership of federal and academic scientists.
Much of northeastern North Dakota and northern Minnesota are in "moderate drought," one stage worse than abnormally dry, the U.S. Drought Monitor says.
Southern Minnesota is in "severe drought," one stage worse than moderate drought, according to the Drought Monitor.
Nonetheless, farmers in southern Minnesota "are glad it's been a mild winter and that they won't have to go through what they did last spring," says Bradley Carlson, University of Minnesota Extension Service crops educator in Mankato.
Fields in his area are the driest they've been since 1988, but producers aren't particularly concerned, he says.
Farmers are optimistic that normal precipitation will return shortly and their soon-to-be-planted fields will have adequate moisture, Carlson says.
Dry conditions in the area aren't ideal, says Maurus Heim, a semi-retired Edgeley, N.D., farmer who remembers a number of dry springs that led to early planting.
But being a little dry is preferable to being much too wet, which has been the case in recent years, he says.
"We'll get the crop in faster and better," he says.
Another advantage is that, as things stand now, farmers will have a bigger window of opportunity to plant this spring and won't face nearly as much pressure.
Wheat to see benefit?
Planting wheat early can be particularly beneficial when moisture is short, says Wiersma, the University of Minnesota Extension Service specialist.
Wheat can make the most efficient use of limited moisture when the crop is planted early, he says.
Before planting wheat, farmers need to make sure the seed bed is prepared properly and that they've given due consideration to the risk of early frost, Wiersma says.
Attractive corn prices had been causing many area farmers to consider planting more of that crop and less wheat. An early start might encourage farmers to plant more wheat.
However, it's too early to tell if that will happen, says Randy Englund, executive director of the South Dakota Wheat Commission.
Crop insurance coverage
A ferocious price rally in early 2011 pushed up the price at which crops could be insured under yield and revenue protection.
These safety net prices are lower this year, although they remain at an attractive level, according to information from the North Dakota State University Extension Service.
Prices this year are set at $7.74 per bushel for spring wheat, $5.68 per bushel for corn and $12.55 per bushel for soybeans.
Those rates are down from $9.89 for spring wheat, $6.01 for corn and $13.49 for soybeans for the 2011 crop.
A year ago, crop insurance prices generally were high enough for producers to cover their expenses, ag officials say.
This year, crop insurance prices are lower and expenses are higher.
Even so, "We're very close" to the point when crop insurance prices will cover expenses, says Gary Ihry, of Hope, N.D-based Ihry Insurance, which works with customers in North Dakota, Minnesota and South Dakota.
Last year, given the wet spring, "The big worry was whether we'd be able to get it (the crop) into the ground," says Mike Kozojed, an Ihry Insurance agent in Hillsboro, N.D.
This year, the biggest concern, at least for now, is that crop prices could drop sharply, which makes the revenue protection portion of crop insurance particularly important, he says.
Costs are rising
The cost of many inputs — or resources such as seed, chemical and fuel that go into producing crops — generally are higher than a year ago, according to the NDSU Extension Service.
A few examples from NDSU:
• Corn seed has increased about 6 percent, wheat seed about 16 percent and soybean seed about 17 percent from last year.
• The cost of urea, a widely used fertilizer, is up 23 percent from a year ago.
• Fuel will cost 5 to 10 percent more than last year.
Farmers say it's frustrating that expenses rise when crop prices decline.
But frustration, at least for now, is overshadowed by optimism. Spring planting is at hand, and farmers hope for the best.
"Everything is fresh," Ferguson, the Witten, S.D., farmer, says about this time of year.
"Farmers are the most optimistic people. And they're never more optimistic than at planting time."

Do i need restart or format the data on the cluster after I change the token. If not, what should I do to rebalance the cluster?
In an effort to consolidate free help offered for our products we have decided to move these forums to a more widely used forum. Please use one of the following queries (or any combination):
- Cassandra: tag search or plain text search
- DataStax Enterprise: tag search or plain text search
- DataStax OpsCenter: tag search or plain text search
If I need format the cluster after I change the token?(3 posts) (2 voices)
You can only change a node's token by issuing it a 'move' command. You can do this from the command line using the nodetool utility or graphically with OpsCenter:
By issuing a move command the token for the node will change and the node will fetch/send the data from/to other nodes in the cluster. Additionally OpsCenter can 'rebalance' your entire cluster by issuing a series of moves. For more info on how that works internally see:

Stabilisation and Association Process
The European Union's policy towards the countries of the Western Balkans takes the form of the Stabilisation and Association Process launched at the Zagreb Summit in November 2000. The countries concerned are: Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia, including Kosovo as defined by resolution 1244 of the UN Security Council.
The process is intended to ensure peace and stability in the region by providing support for the strengthening of democracy and the rule of law and the development of a market economy. It places great stress on developing regional cooperation, e.g. by a free trade area and political dialogue.
The purpose of the Stabilisation and Association Process is to establish special relations between the countries concerned and the Union in exchange for reforms with a view to accession, which will involve aligning their legislation more closely with that of the Community. These countries are recognised as potential candidates for Union membership.
The Stabilisation and Association Process was strengthened at the Thessaloniki Summit in 2003, taking over elements of the accession process. It rests on:
- contractual relationships by means of bilateral Stabilisation and Association Agreements (SAA), the conclusion of which depends on the progress made by the countries within the process; in this connection, the evaluation of their application for membership will be based on the results concerning their compliance with the provisions, particularly on trade;
- trade relations at regional level and with the Union; the Union grants trade preferences to the Western Balkans countries;
- a financial instrument, the Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance (IPA) for the period 2007 - 2013 (replacing the CARDS programme for 2000 - 2006).
The Western Balkans countries that acquire candidate country status continue to benefit from certain aspects of the Stabilisation and Association process although they are engaged in the process of accession.

Gamma-ray and neutron dose-equivalent buildup factors are calculated for six common shielding materials in a point-source, infinite-slab, point-detector geometry using a decomposition of the solution to the transport problem into single- and multiple-scatter components. A rigorous solution for the single-scatter component is constructed and a Monte Carlo model for the multiple-scatter component is employed. Simplified models are fit to the calculated buildup factors as functions of slab thickness and source-detector separation, and model constants are evaluated for each of several source energies. Single-scatter and total slab buildup factors are presented, both in tabular form and in graphs that also show the fitted models, for six materials. The models are demonstrated for a sample problem.

Connecticut is one six states approved by the federal government to operate an online exchange where individuals and small businesses can buy health coverage starting Oct. 1, 2013.
Administrators for the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services announced the approval Monday afternoon. Colorado, Massachusetts, Maryland, Oregon and Washington also received conditional approval
A health exchange is a critical part of the Affordable Care Act passed by Congress in 2010. It changes the way health insurance is sold by centralizing the sale of health plans into a public online marketplace for each state. People will still be able to buy health coverage outside of the public exchange through other channels. States that don't have an exchange up and running in time for the Oct. 1 enrollment period, when people buy coverage for 2014, may use a site offered by the federal government.
For many Americans, who have health insurance through an employer or a union or some other group, the process of getting health insurance won't change. The health exchange is for individuals and small groups, and it is intended as a way to homogenize the shopping experience by giving plans coverage ratings that anyone can understand. The exchange also is intended to drive competition between health plans.
"Ten months from now, Americans in every state will begin signing up for affordable, quality health insurance in new state marketplaces," Marilyn Tavenner, acting administrator of the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, told reporters during a conference call Monday.
So far, 14 states and Washington D.C. have declared that they want to operate state-based health exchanges, including the six that were approved. The states approved Monday were earlier than other states in submitting their applications.
"This is not a reflection on whether any other state will be approved, or any other state's progress toward having an exchange," said Gary Cohen, deputy administrator and director of the Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. "It's purely a matter of who came in first and who we got to first."
Since the Affordable Care Act was passed, Connecticut has received $116 million in federal funds to design and build its health exchange.
"While other states waited for events such as the [U.S.] Supreme Court ruling or the election to spur action, Connecticut did the right thing and aggressively pushed forward with launching a state based Exchange for its residents," Gov. Dannel P. Malloy said in a prepared statement. "To do anything less would have been a disservice to those in our state who don't have insurance, or struggle to afford the coverage they have."
Lt. Gov. Nancy Wyman chairs the exchange board of directors.
"This approval shows that we are continuing to make rapid, concrete progress in bringing about much needed improvements for consumers in our state's health insurance market," Wyman said. "While the majority of states are still grappling with how to move forward with health reform, all Connecticut residents should be encouraged by the progress we have made on this hugely important issue."
The exchange still has yet to receive health plans to offer for sale. It will also function to tell people if they qualify for Medicaid, Medicare or a federal subsidy that applies to people up to 400 percent of the federal poverty level, which is $44,680 for an individual and $92,200 for a family of four.

Every day we're barraged with information from the time we wake up in the morning to the time we fall asleep. Your children share this same media overload with you. In fact, depending on their ages and digital prowess, they may actually be bombarded with many more messages each day than most adults you know.
To be the best homeschool parent, most of us try to stay up on homeschooling trends by reading blogs, joining Facebook groups, participating in homeschool forums, following others on Twitter, and generally tapping into the information stream (or should I say river) that surrounds us in the digital universe. This can be overwhelming, especially when there are so many messages flooding our inbox that are totally irrelevant to our world.
The challenge is learning to manage all of this information. Like removing your home of unwanted physical clutter, learning to filter these electronic messages requires one of the most important aspects of media literacy-keeping that which is relevant, and discarding that which is not. So how do you become a human filter, managing digital media to your advantage so it doesn't add to your homeschool day's stress level? The following are a few tips that may help:
1. Learn to love delete. While this key causes fear in the hearts of the meek, the delete key is your friend when it comes to uncluttering your digital life. Saving all the emails you receive is like saving every letter delivered by the U.S. Postal Service since you moved into your house. Trying to find that important piece of mail becomes impossible. Delete anything that you don't have a good reason for keeping and that you cannot find somewhere else if you need it.
2. Redefine important. There are some things you need to keep, but important is one of those words that can be a catch-all when it comes to digital files. As you work toward less clutter, redefine important. Develop a naming scheme and create folders that have short, specific names to reflect the contents. For instance, when you temprarily need files to complete a specific project, name the folder accordingly and delete the entire folder at the end of the project.
3. Handle every email as you read it. Either put it in an appropriate folder or delete it...yes, even the funny jokes. This simple tip can keep you sane and keep your inbox much cleaner. This is easier when you think back to the last time you went back to re-read an old email.
4. Store music, photos, and video clips in the cloud. With so many options available, there's no reason you can't find a storage site to suit your needs. Many of these Internet sites cost nothing to use and help you manage these large files in a hassle-free way. Using the cloud frees up space on your laptop and is accessible by clicking one link on your computer. Your children are probably doing this already. Why not you?
5. Save links on a social bookmarking site. Save articles you want to read or research you need to access later on one of the many social bookmarking sites on the web. Most are free, and each has specific benefits such as easy sharing or topic-based searching. Through the use of relevant tags and accurate file naming, you can quickly get your hands on the information you need. Don't forget to delete older "favorite" bookmarks when they are no longer important.
Now, take the risk and begin uncluttering your digital life. Next, teach your children how to do the same. What tips do you have for uncluttering the mass amount of digital information in your life? Please share them here so we can all become more organized and media literate in our homeschools. When you're done, feel free to delete.

On red-light cameras and 'special' drivers
Congrats to the mayor of Poway
No waiting for "special" people.
Not being tied to any regular schedule now, I am generally free to pick and choose my spots on the freeways and avoid most of these headaches.
Of course, that can have its own perils — like not remembering how crowded the roads are at some hours.
The other day, I needed to be at KOCT's Oceanside studios well before 6 p.m.
Figuring I needed a little extra time, I left early, but hit every red light going north on El Camino and some twice on Palomar Airport Road. And once I got on the freeway, I found everybody else was there, too, including the "special" drivers.
I made it, but only in the nick of time and only with a lot of answered prayers.

H1N1 virus 'now unstoppable'Swine flu becomes first pandemic in 41 years
The World Health Organization told its member nations it was declaring a swine flu pandemic Thursday — the first global flu epidemic in 41 years — as infections climbed in the United States, Europe, Australia, South America and elsewhere. U.S. officials said today they've taken an early aggressive approach and the WHO announcement won't change how it's been dealing with the issue. The WHO designation is based on geographic spread and not on the nature of the disease, U.S. officials said.

Darren Criss Performs With StarKid Pals for SPACE Tour in Boston and New York City [VIDEOS]
Want to know how Glee's Darren Criss (Blaine) spent his Thanksgiving break?
After flying home to San Francisco on Thursday, November 24, Darren hopped on another plane for the East Coast — where he spent the remainder of the weekend hanging out with some of his old college pals.
Well, his old college pals and about 2,500 screaming fans, that is! Over the weekend, Darren joined Team StarKid for the Boston and New York City stops of the cross-country SPACE Tour.
Darren wrote many of the StarKid songs, and he played Harry in their YouTube hit musicals A Very Potter Musical and A Very Potter Sequel.

All passengers who "no show" a trip will be automatically cancelled for all other scheduled trips for the day. It is the responsibility of the passenger to call at least one (1) hour in advance of the scheduled return trip (or subsequent trip) if the passenger still needs a ride. If the passenger contacts rabbittransit less than one hour before the scheduled return trip (or subsequent trip), the passenger will be required to pay full fare as the cost will not be covered by MATP or another funding source.
If you are at a medical provider and your appointment time is being delayed, please call us or have a representative from the doctor's office call the rabbittransit Call Center immediately. It is good practice upon arriving at your medical appointment to check in with staff to alert them that you are riding rabbittransit and inquire if the doctor you are planning to see is currently running on schedule. We want to avoid having the vehicle arrive for your return trip before you are seen by the medical provider.
