Did you know that the eggplant is actually a variety of berry? I learned that from television, so don't tell me all those hours I've wasted staring at the glowing box were for not. However I learned this recipe not from the TV, but from Everyday Food, of course. It was one of their reader submitted recipe's and had been on my to-cook list for quite some time. I decided to make it one weekend so that I could stock the freezer with the leftover sauce. I'm planning on doing a big cooking weekend soon, so I can stock the freezer even more, but this was a good start. I will definitely make this recipe again, when I'm out of my leftovers that is.
Eggplant Bolognese
Recipe from Everyday Food; Serves 8
8 tablespoons olive oil
1 large eggplant (about 1 lb.), peeled and cut into 1/2" pieces
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 green bell pepper (ribs and seeds removed), finely chopped
1 zucchini (about 8 oz), quartered lengthwise, sliced inch thick crosswise
1 garlic clove, minced
coarse salt and ground pepper
1 lb. ground beef chuck
1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 lb. rigatoni or other short tubular pasta
Parmesan cheese, shaved (optional)
- In a Dutch oven or large (5-quart) saucepan with a lid, heat 6 tablespoons oil over medium-high. Add eggplant; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl; set aside.
- Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil to pan; reduce heat to medium. Add onion, bell pepper, zucchini, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables have softened, 7 to 10 minutes.
- Add beef; cook, stirring and breaking up meat with a spoon, until no longer pink, 5 minutes.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, add tomatoes, oregano, and eggplant to beef-vegetable mixture; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce is thick and eggplant is tender, about 25 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, cook pasta until al dente, according to package instructions. Drain; serve topped with sauce and, if desired, Parmesan.

Thanks Heather
Hello Ya'll - my name is Heather and I am the Owner and Operator of The Texas Gypsy.
I began experimenting with the making of my own soap about 7 years ago as I have quite sensitive skin and all the "soaps" I bought in the store would irritate it. I read about goat's milk soap and bought some to try! It was a very happy day for me and my family as this type of soap did not irritate my skin! One of the only complaints that I had about even the goat's milk soaps that I could find were the scents that were available to purchase.
While I strive for all of my products to be as natural as possible, I also endeavor to have the most exotic fragrant combinations that I LOVE and believe that others would love also. After sharing my soap and then later my other natural bath products with friends and family with great results; I have decided to share these wonderful products with everyone. I use all Natural High-end ingredients and I am always testing new products and unearthing fresh scents all the time!
I make all of The Texas Gypsy products by hand in my home right here in Spring, Texas. If you ever have any questions or would like to request special orders please feel free to email me @ email@example.com or you can also check out my site on Etsy www.etsy.com/shop/TheTexasGypsy. On Etsy, my products are available day or night. I'd love to make party favors for your next gathering. Just think of the next Wedding, Baby or Bridal Shower, even Holiday baskets; just pick out your favorite aromas and I can do the rest.
Thanks again for shopping with The Texas Gypsy - available here at Belle's Attic here in Magnolia Texas.
Many Blessings,
The Texas Gypsy

Instituting more eco-friendly practices in your home can not only improve your health but also help save you money, experts say.
Continue Reading Below
"Your ecosystem is your home. It's where you sleep, eat and live," says eco-friendly designer Robin Wilson and CEO of Robin Wilson Home. "Green is a marketing term that became diluted. Eco-friendly is more honest."
Whether it's scented candles, household cleaning products or paint, many products commonly found under sinks and in cabinets contain chemicals that can be harmful to your health and the environment. To help make a home more environmentally friendly, homeowners can buy organic products or make their own solutions.
Household cleaners are designed to kill germs, but they also tend to contain a lot of chemicals that can cause health issues. If you check closely, many products contain a warning of "hazardous to humans and domestic animals," says Beth Greer, author of Super Natural Home. "It's important to stay healthy when we are cleaning. It can be counterproductive if what we think is killing germs is doing more harm than good."
An alternative, which Greer says kills 99% of E. coli and salmonella is white vinegar and peroxide. She fills two spray bottles and uses it on kitchen counters, table tops and cutting boards.
Where and what you sleep on can worsen existing health conditions, according to Wilson. She says that people need to wash or replace their pillows regularly because dust mites have been shown to aggravate allergies. "The average time for people to replace their pillow is six years" says Wilson, and that is way too long. She also suggests buying a hypoallergenic pillow to reduce any possible allergens.
Scented candles can create a warm and inviting environment in a home, but Greer says they can also be detrimental to your health. She cites recent studies that claimed scented air fresheners and candles can trigger allergy symptoms that can aggravate asthma. When scenting a home, she recommends avoiding aerosol sprays and air fresheners and instead boiling a cinnamon stick and open windows. Another trick, spray essential oils over dried flower to make you own scented potpourri. "It can be really inexpensive and it's not going to trigger asthma or allergies," says Greer.
Many homeowners take advantage of the winter months to paint walls, but Wilson recommends using low to no Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) paint to avoid toxins. Not only is no VOC paint eco-friendly and void of potentially-harmful toxins, but it often tends to only need one coat, which can be a money saver. "With cheaper paint you spend twice as much on labor," says Wilson.
Eco-friendly can also be applied to your appliances. If you are in the market for a new dishwasher or refrigerator look for one with an Energy Star rating. If you have the space, when buying a new refrigerator go with separate refrigerator and freezer units, says Wilson. Having two separate units, keeps the freezer closed more often, she says. What's more, she says many people have a separate door or draw style beverage and/or snack refrigerator which enables the main refrigerator to stay closed for the majority of the day.
Many homeowners waste water, which not only damages the environment but increases the water bill. To better control water flow, Wilson says to buy plumbing fixtures--like a faucet or shower head-- that have the WaterSense label on it, which is similar to the Energy Star label. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, products with the WaterSense label "perform well, help save money and encourage innovation in manufacturing."

Remerton, GA - September 12, 2012
The Strickland Cotton Mill, as known as the Remerton Mill, is the reason the city of Remerton was founded more than 100 years ago. But it has been closed for the better part of a decade and now the city says it is time to go.
"The City of Remerton would have never been founded if it had not been for the founding of the mill," said Celine Gladwin, a Valdosta architect.
Gladwin has been leading a campaign to save the mill since the demolition request came up in June. Gladwin says it would be a shame to lose the last surviving textile mill in South Georgia.
"People lived there, they played there, they worshiped in the neighborhood there. And erasing that is erasing the memories of the community," Gladwin said.
Today the Mill is in bad shape. It is over grown with weeds, it's walls and floors are crumbling.
The owner cannot afford to renovate it and the city cannot afford to take it. So, Monday the Remerton City Council voted to tear it down.
Only the smoke stack will remain and a memorial park will be build in the mill's honor. Some local residents we talked to like the idea.
"You want to preserve the historic landmarks here in Valdosta but a park would be really nice because it would give people a place to take walks and walk their dogs," said Ashley Ferguson, local resident.
The agreement says the demolition will have to wait 45 days which makes it likely to come in early November. It is expected that a company will be brought in to crush it with a wrecking ball. That way the bricks and wood can be collected and re-sold.

Zero Punctuation: Silent Hill 2
Pages PREV 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Someone's probably already answered this but oh well - Maria always seemed to go JAAAAAAMES whenever she spoke to him, was quite funny really, made her sound like a retarded prozzie ^_^
Silent Hill 2 is good, but the rest of the series is getting less good, yes I really don't care for Silent Hill games that don't take place in Silent Hill, because having a Silent Hill game that doesn't take place in Silent Hill is boring.
Finnally I now have an idea of how it is fucking a burning dolphin XD
Am I the only one who thinks that Silent Hill sounds like a less scary version of Fatal Frame? Every reason about why Yahtzee said he liked Silent Hill is from Fatal Frame...
Of course I've never played Silent Hill 2 so I can't judge.
I am incredibly apprehensive about the new Silent Hill's "psychological tests". I am afraid it will just be a quiz-like series of questions that will merely flip certain switches in the game. For example.
and so on....
I'm playing this right now after just completing 1, best game I've played recently, and it was released in 2002.
Fantastic review, this is probably one of my favorite games. I have many fond memories of helping my roommate play it while I clung screaming to her arm as she shot/stabbed/mangled the various baddies that would jump out in front of Mr. Sunderland. I still can't play it by myself without a towel on my couch and the lights all on.
yes silent hill 2 definitely was my favorite to all the games, I thought the story line was very well thought
"You start to think that James' nightmare might be entirely his own creation, as if the town is just handing him a set of jump cables and watching as he sticks them on his balls. It's a fascinating voyage of pain and despair that leaves you emotionally drained and satisfied like fucking a burning dolphin."
That's one of the best things I've heard in a game review ever.
I know the original "Silent Hill" was released for the pS1, and Silent Hill 2 (i'm pretty sure) came out a little bit before the first "Fatal Frame", but i definitely agree that the 2 games are very comparable.
I have to admit to putting off "Fatal Frame" for a couple of months simply because the description of "using your camera to kill ghosts" sounded lame...
The same buddy i played the Silent Hill games with was finally convinced by ANOTHER friend to give "Fatal Frame" a try, and it was every bit as psychologically testing as "SH2" was...
Just the way a random phantom could glide softly by you, without even a peep....I remember my buddy and i just screaming "HOLY SHIT!" and turning the game off in favour of a round of NHL hockey :P
Lol i Love when yahzee posts a new review people talk like him in the comments.
ah sh2.. a game that fucked up my childhood. this review actually got me into yahtzee.
SH2 is my favorite game ever.
FFVII is my second favorite.
Yahtzee and I are so similar and yet so vastly different.
"Silent Hill 6: A dufus, a stick with a nail in it and a guy with trigonometry for a face."
Like ****ing a flaming Dolphin!?!
I loved the silent hill series but 2 was the best out of all of them
i got shatter memories its one of my favourite games. Im realy hope he reviews it soon
Will you be doing a video for the new Silent Hill game? I started playing it recently...and I think that you could really critique a lot on it....especially the annoying ass tittin' flashlight controls. And that psychological test.....what does me every cheating on a partner have to do with ANYTHING?! .....not to mention when i answered no he needed me to verify o.o...
I've only played through silent hill two and i can't really tell whether it's the town that is trying to kill James or if it's all just in James' imagination. I really didn't like how all the characters you meet don't even know what the hell is going on and James doesn't even bother to fill them in!
In one part of the game you decend about 10000 feet into the ground and, if i remember correctly, you suddenly end up outside... by a lake... with a row boat.
It's a great game and just as you said it's able to tell a story without words. What's funny is that BioWare does the EXACT OPPOSITE. Still love 'em though =P
No offense but I really hated this game
Ps: could you make a review of "Killing Floor" the retail not the mod?
I liked SH2 more than all the other Silent Hill games. I actually for once 100% agree with Yhatzee. Gameplay is horrible and the puzzles don't make much sense, but the characters and story are amazing. Too bad. I've lost most of my hope for the series. Sh: Origins was pathetic, and Homecoming didn't even deserve to be created. SH: Shattered Memories was nice, but now that Akira's gone, I don't think the games will be as good, if good at all.
I actually did the math once. You descend approximately 640 feet in the prison, and emerge at the same elevation that you entered. 640 feet doesn't sound like a whole lot until you consider that that is the height of a 64 story skyscraper. This was calculated using maximum human falling velocity without sustaining life-threatening injury, as well as duration of falls in cutscenes. The elevator descends 24 floors. The opening stairwell from the historical society descends roughly 170 feet.
@Dalton Frantz: From what I've heard, Silent Hill has been unofficially discontinued. Akira was the producer for the latter half of the series, and has withdrawn from the franchise. Konami does not expect to publish any more Silent Hill titles. Also, nice "Judgment" picture for your avatar.
Fatal Frame was really good, but the story was not nearly as compelling as SH2. The horror aspects were similar, though.
@K-nu: I'm sorry you didn't like the game. Unfortunately, this is one of those titles where you begin to understand how all of the characters interact after you have done extensive analysis of the story. The surface level content of the characters and plotline seems redundant and empty, but I assure you that there is a good reason for that. Some people like that kind of storytelling, others don't.
I have to agree with Yahtzee that this game is a game which really demonstrates how video games are a unique and transcendental medium of telling a story. Verily this story could have been told no other way. That having been said, I have read hundreds of books, seen hundreds of movies, and played (probably) thousands of games, and Silent Hill 2 is my favorite narrative of all time in any medium. Thank you, Team Silent.
You know what, I enjoy Yahtzee's reviews just as much as the next guy, but I can't fucking stand it when people are like - "oh yeah, the gameplay sucks big-time, but the story makes up for it". Seriously? This is a game first and a story-telling medium second. I know how he tries to defend it with the "atmosphere" argument, but let's face it - SH:Origins had almost exactly the same vibe, but with better controls, gameplay, etc. And hell, when it comes to the central protagonist, I found it real hard to give a fuck about James. You know, his voice acting makes it seem like he's an awfully calm guy while all hell breaks lose around him.
Well i didn't really like the camera angles in silent hill 2 as I'm used to being able to turn them with the right analogue stick... but in Silent Hill 2 I couldn't... and it frustrated me for a while. Then I got used to it and it didn't really bother me anymore.
bought a copy not to long ago, yea it does atmosphere well
good god, the first battle with trigonometry head in SH2 was bloody stupid, i have not seen a more boring boss fight, i mean my god he moves like a bloody sloth, of course that may be because of his pyramid balls, matching his head, but the dude later in the game sprints like a bloody athlete, there goes consistency.
i will just say that not this video help me decade to play that master piece.
Oh please. It's got about as much atmosphere as any small town on a Sunday night; if that's dreadful heart-wrenching loneliness to you than you're about as much a misanthropic loner as Sarah Palin in a tour bus begging for undeserved appreciation.
I'm tired of people holding Silent Hill 2 up as some kind of gold standard for storytelling; the characters are one dimensional, the plot is basically non-existent and just 'cause the game doesn't "show the shark" doesn't mean they're not smacking you in the face with it. Oo, a monster made out of a man molesting a child in a bed; you win points for originality if only because Disney is the only other group willing to animate furniture.
And stop pretending there's this deep complexity to James' character, when the game itself literally reveals the only reason he's even in Silent Hill 2 is 'cause he's a shallow dipshit who decided his case of blue balls justified murdering his wife. You can wrap all the Silent Hill weirdness around him you like but's no more likeable or identifiable than a suspect from a CSI episode, only instead of him getting tossed in prison like he should he's allowed to "get over his wife" and adopt some random child who's probably in more danger when James realizes she's eaten all the peanut butter than a guest at the Wonderland Ranch.
Something I've been wondering about ever since this review came out...What does "somewhere between midget height and 50 feet below sea level" mean? What does it mean?! I don't understaaaaaaand...
@SnakeoilSage - The first few moments of the game are running through a forest path surrounded by only the fog and tortured bestial noises. Then you beat a monster to death and meet, in a graveyard, a psychologically disturbed girl with a past that involves sexual abuse ... If that's the atmosphere of your small town on a Saturday night then I really feel for you!
Dangit Escapist editors, I finally forgot what it felt like to fuck a burning dolphin. You knew this would happen.
Just played silent hill 2 for the first time and i got the car in the lake ending. Loved the game and heard of it from Yatzee... and now I'm going to rewatch the review and see what changes after playing the game =)

Predicting Science News
Andrew is soliciting entries to either be posted on his blog, or linked to from his About.com page. Links are above or in my sidebar.
As a note, I know that most of you when compiling your lists will search through the abstracts for exciting terms like "thermochronology," "k-feldspar MDD modelling," or "apatite (U-Th)/He." For some unknown reason, print media has been slow to pick up on the Thermo-craze, so while I know that those are the stories you all think SHOULD be reported on the most, I'd suggest trying other themes. Someday print media will understand what the rest of the earth science community already knows (low-temperature thermochronology is hot), but for now, things like earthquakes, hazards, and climate change get all the ink.

don't you mean the general public will soon notice how hot deep-marine sedimentation is?
i foresee small, stuffed turbidites (kinda like stuffed animals) that will excite young and old alike...similar to the beanie-baby craze of the mid 90s.
i can't wait

I've been trying for hours to picture a stuffed turbidite in my head....I'm not sure it is working. Stuffed apatites though, now that could work. Do you have a prototype? I am sure this could be our ticket to financial independence. Plush geology themed children's toys.
On a related note, I've been working on a children's book in my head about the "Brave little biotite." It will of course be thermochronology themed. But really, are there any geology themed children's books? This is a market just waiting to be exploited....

It's the cuddly magnets the kids go for. Especially if you bury a real magnet inside ;-)
And I'm not thinking about AGU, as I can only send my poster to be ripped to shreds by the tectonic mafia.

- Kim said...
If I was in a position where I had students, I could also see this as a good way to make the connection between current research and the science page of their local paper.
It's too bad that AGU is during finals week (which is one reason why I never go) - this is a great idea.
(I stopped being a member because I wasn't going to the meetings and there was this huge pile of EOSes threatening the deskcrops in my office. If you've never seen a giant garnet shaking in fear in front of a pile of mere paper... well, it is a sad thing.)
As for geology-themed kids' books - the Magic Schoolbus series has some geology books.
And I would be the first to buy a giant plush apatite for my kid. (Magnetic toys, alas, keep being recalled because kids swallow the magnets and then their intestines get stuck together and... well, eek.)
- 8:11 AM, November 29, 2007
- Thermochronic said...
Kim - I can see how AGU is an odd time or faculty, my bosses luck out with the timing of finals I suppose, but as it is we are all missing end of the year thingies (which means I am passing up many free food and beer opportunities.)
And let's just keep track, with Kim's response the score is Plush Apatite 1, stuffed turbidite and magnetic toy 0.
- 8:20 AM, November 29, 2007
- BrianR said...
hmm...this comment might come up twice...something weird happened
No, I do not have a prototype of the plush turbidite ... yet.
I predict that a full Bouma sequence would be a big seller, but I can also envision a cute 'bottom-absent' turbidite, and a tough-looking, but lovable, mass transport complex.
The toy box for them will be a foreland basin, you get your choice of retroarc or peripheral (sold separately, of course).

Mud volcanoes don't really lend themselves to plush, but what parent can resist giving their child a manual on how to fill the back yard with mud, educationally?
You would think that this is restricting the joys of mud volcanology to those children whose families are sufficiently well-off to have yards, but actually, children who travel to the local Superfund site to make their mud volcanoes are getting a much more authentic experience.

(newbie here) - You all laugh but I have a daughter who has wanted to be a scientist since the age of 5 and now at 9 has zeroed in on astrobiology/astrogeology (wants to study the rocks from other planets, I'm sure I've got the name wrong).
ANYWAY, I found your nice little blog because I was and AM searching for "stuffed toy rocks". They now have microbes (you can give someone a stuffed Herpes virus...ain't that sweet), so I thought much like PetRocks of the past...? You never know.
So BRING ON the plush geology toys!

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., June 12 (UPI) -- Starz says it is developing "Monsters of God," a Texas-set, post-American civil war drama series from writer, director and producer Rod Lurie.
Lurie's credits include "The Contender," "The Last Castle" and "Straw Dogs."
He is working on "Monsters of God" with Brad Pitt's Plan B Entertainment production company.
Lurie and his long-time producing partner Marc Frydman will executive produce via their Battleplan Productions banner.
Set in Texas in 1867, during the Comanche Wars, "Monsters of God" follows two powerful ex-cavalry men, a war-hungry colonel, and his seemingly by-the-book executive officer as they struggle to maintain order over the men in their command, faced with the challenges of an uncivilized territory and their own inner demons, a synopsis said.
No casting has been announced yet.
"'Monsters of God' will be set against the backdrop of a one of most savage times in our nation's history, the Comanche Wars, centered on two men faced with seemingly insurmountable challenges," Carmi Zlotnik, managing director of Starz, said in a statement Wednesday.
"We could not be more thrilled to team up with Rod Lurie, who not only conducted extensive research but has an incredible track record for bringing political and psychological thrillers to life in a way that we think our viewers will find compelling."
"If you want to make a series that is big, ballsy and epic, you go to Starz," Lurie said. "I am hoping that the show will have enormous scope, but never at the expense of historical accuracy. My fellow producers and I can't wait to take a shot at this."

Audi's racing history and upscale luxury image spans decades. But it's never been broad enough to include a mullet-sporting, shirtless Hungarian steering an S8-powered buggy while it jumps like a bobcat with a snout full of paprika — until now.
Yes, that rumble from behind the camera is the 40-valve V8 from a S8 sedan, good in what must be a nearly open-exhaust form for 400 hp, according to the builder's Internet jottings. Best of all, there's nothing in this video that doesn't look homemade — including the haircut. This video is a few years old, and the original poster's last entires have been of two wheel entertainments, but we hope he's still letting his mullet enjoy breeze.

A new report involving U.S. Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., calls Alzheimer's disease "one of the leading public health challenges we face in the 21st century."
"A diagnosis is a death sentence," the report says.
The Senate Special Committee on Aging recently released the 97-page report, which explored how Australia, France, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States diagnose and treat Alzheimer's disease. Corker is the panel's ranking Republican member.
According to the Alzheimer's Association, the disease will cost the United States $20 trillion over the next 40 years. Given the steep medical, emotional and financial costs associated with accelerated memory loss, Corker said he hopes the report will help foster debate over how to provide the best care possible.
"My father had Alzheimer's, so I understand the emotional and financial difficulties facing families dealing with this devastating illness," the former Chattanooga mayor said in a news release last week.
The number of American Alzheimer's patients is expected to triple over the next 25 years, the report says, so "both the pace of research and the quality and cost-effectiveness of services must improve."
The committee identified a common Alzheimer's challenge among the five countries studied: providing "coordinated and integrated care" to patients in more advanced and debilitating stages of illness.
But the report also uncovers Alzheimer's policies that, with serious legislative legwork, could be applied in America. In Japan, for instance, the government has a mandatory social insurance pool for citizens ages 65 and up that provides long-term care benefits to Alzheimer's patients. France has a private insurance market that focuses on long-term dementia care.
"Long-term care" is defined in the report as help on everything from health services to basic "activities of daily living" - eating, bathing, using the toilet and even getting out of bed.
Some countries bankroll third-party health professionals to provide such help, while others emphasize care from family members, friends or neighbors. Either way, there are fiscal challenges, the report notes.
"There is some indication among focus countries that demand for targeted services to caregivers ... is greater than the available supply of such services," according to the report's conclusion.
One of the recommended cost-saving measures involves crafting "policies that can enable individuals with dementia to live in their homes for as long as possible." But the report also calls for significant investment in Alzheimer's research since "there is no cure for the disease in sight."
The report does not indicate whether such investment should come from private or public sources.
"There are enormous costs, both personal and financial, to this disease," said Committee Chairman Herb Kohl, D-Wis. "We urgently need to prepare for the increasing number of Alzheimer's diagnoses and how to curb this mounting epidemic."

Actually $2000 per node is the total cost (NIC/cable/port/software) for the high-end products (with L9/200 MHz), should be more like $1500 for low-end ones. Craig is spoiled, only buys the top stuff :-) > What about the switches > needed. AFAIK Quadrics and Myrinet both need switches, SCI don't (which > makes the total system cost a bit lower doesn't it ?). Dunno for QSW, but the NIC represent roughly 3/4 of the price per node for Myrinet. Sure, as the smallest switch has 8 ports (16 ports chassis and one blade with 8 fibers), It is not interesting for very small configurations, i.e less than 8 nodes, but I don't think it's Myricom's market. It's a common mistake to believe that switchless solutions are by definition cheaper.

Don Marble, Don Langston and Bill Gilbreath have farmed through a lot of dry spells.
Together, the three have put in more than 150 years raising cotton in the unforgiving environment of West Texas. And this year they're facing one of the toughest droughts they've seen in a long time.
But it might not be the worst.
Gilbreath, 80, recalls 1944 and 1945 when he was a teenager farming with his father near Cone, Texas, in Crosby County.
"We were dryland farming," he recalls, "and we didn't plant any cotton those two years. We made a little bit of wheat, five or 10 bushels an acre."
He says one year they got about an inch of rain and tried to plant in the furrow. "Cotton sprouted but we didn't get any more rain and it all died. In 1946 my father started with irrigation wells. We had big water until the 1970s, but we're about out of water now."
Marble, 79, recalls 1980 as a particularly bad year for cotton in South Plains, Texas. "We were very dry in 1980," he says. "We'd had good moisture all through 1979 and into the spring of 1980. We had a good wheat crop and got the cotton planted. But hot weather came on as we cut the wheat and it never let up. There was not a cloud in the sky."
Langston, 71, who farms in Lubbock County, said 1998 "was a bugger. We got rain to get the cotton up, but we got no more until August. We made from one-and-a-quarter to one-and-a-half bales per acre under the pivots."
1974 also bad
He says 1974 was also a bad year. "It was so bad that year a lot of farmers plowed the cotton up to get ready for the next year. Some tried sunflowers and found out that volunteer sunflowers were hard to control."
Langston says every year he bought a new cotton stripper turned out to be a bad year for cotton production.
They remember the 1950s drought as the worst long-term dry spell they've endured. Marble says the current drought is extremely bad, but it follows about six years of very good crops and so far is only a year long.
He has rainfall records for Floyd County, where he farms, going back to 1925. He started farming on his own in 1951, a year when the cotton allotment was lifted. "The Korean War started and we could plant all the cotton we wanted, until about 1955," he says.
"We made a good crop in 1951 and then it just quit raining." His dad had started drilling irrigation wells back in 1948. "We made big wheat and cotton crops in 1949, across the whole area. Rain and hail storms hit the 1950 crop and we didn't harvest anything."
Floyd County received 18.12 inches of rain in 1951, according to Marble's records. In 1952, rainfall total dropped to 13.35 inches. Only 13.24 inches fell the next year and the 1954 total was even worse, 10.56 inches. Things got a bit better in 1955, with 22.04 inches, but 1956 was a disaster with only 8.45 inches of rainfall.
"The drought broke in April of 1957," Marble says. The county received more than 4 inches of rain in April of that year followed by 6.32 inches in May and 9.72 inches in June. Total for the year topped 31 inches.
"We got a lot of rain in May of 1957," he says. "We finally got cotton going and we got rain until September."
The next few years followed typical rainfall patterns with yearly averages around 20 inches. In 1965, Floyd County got only 12.12 inches, but totals remained above 16 inches until 1978. In 1980, yearly total was more than 19 inches but a big chunk of that came in two months — 3.95 inches in May and 4.83 in September.
Floyd County fared a little better in 1980 than the area around Lubbock, where only 15.86 inches fell.
Langston has farmed on his own since 1959. "I've made 52 crops," he says. "My son-in-law is farming it this year."
Langston's grandfather farmed and so did his father until 1934. "Cotton came up that year in September," Langston says, "so dad started working in a bank. He took over the farm from my grandfather in 1956."
He also remembers the drought years of the 1950s. He and Marble wonder if the 2010/2011 drought might be the beginning of another 1950s-like dry period. "It very well could be," Langston says.
"I wonder if what we're seeing now is similar," Marble says.
Has unique characteristics
All three agree that the current drought might not be as bad as those of the 1950s, the 1944 or 1945 drought or the one that hit in 1980. But they all say the current one has some unique characteristics.
"This drought is not worse than the 1950s droughts," Marble says. "But I don't recall ever seeing this kind of hot weather and high winds that dry out everything. We can water a crop and in two days it's all gone."
He says last year was similar to 1951. "Then in 1952 we got no rain and we got no rain in 1956."
Langston says the heat and wind combination make this drought especially hard. "The hot wind feels like a blast furnace," he says. "Wind has been blowing at 20 to 25 miles per hour all day long and gusting to 50 miles per hour. It doesn't take long for that hot wind to burn cotton if we haven't been sand-fighting. I see dust devils everywhere.
"Even with irrigation, the heat and wind pull water out of the soil and seems to burn the plants a little. Everyone knew it was going to be dry when they planted and they cut as many corners as they could," he says.
"For this time of year, conditions are as bad as I've ever seen."
In 1998, conditions were "about as close to 2011 as any I remember," he says. "We had a combination of heat, wind and drought. We had a lot of 100-degree days and a lot of wind that summer."
"I have never seen it blow like this," Gilbreath says, "and I've been here 80 years, except for four years in the service."
He's farmed on his own for 57 years. "I farmed in 1949 and 1950, then went into the service for four years and have been here ever since. I'm going to make another crop. I don't plan on retiring."
They plant a combination of irrigated and dryland cotton. They expect nothing from the dryland fields this year.
"I planted a lot of dryland cotton," Marble says. "None of it is up. It will not come up; it's too late. And we have thousands and thousands of acres in the area that will be lost."
"Dryland acreage will make nothing," Langston says. "It's already nearly too late." He says his son-in-law has about 55 percent of the acreage planted dryland.
Irrigated cotton also hurt
Irrigated cotton will not perform up to usual standards either, they say. "Most all of our irrigated cotton is up," Gilbreath says. "It should be alright if we can keep it wet but I don't know if we can."
"Our irrigated cotton is up," Marble says, "but if it doesn't rain it will be hurt. We've been making two or three bales per acre but we might be proud to make just over a bale this year."
They say the heat and wind dry the soil out almost as soon as they can apply water.
Langston says his son-in-law is switching from sprinkler irrigation hoses to drag hoses every other row, to conserve water.
Marble says planting a half a circle in cotton and half in wheat helps conserve water. "And no-till helps. We are using a lot of no-till."
They are also running sand fighters to diminish damage from wind and blowing sand. "We've been over all the irrigated acreage," Langston says. "We're trying to sand fight dryland fields."
They talk about how long this drought has persisted and all say they've had no appreciable rainfall since last July.
"We've had barely one inch of rain since October," Langston says. "We got about a half-inch Oct. 21, two-tenths about May 7 or May 8 and three-tenths last week."
"We've had no significant rain in South Plains since last July," Marble says, "so we haven't had rain in almost a year."
One of the most unique aspects of the 2011 drought is that farmers have never had a dry spell this bad with cotton selling for nearly $1.30 a pound. Marble says he sold a little cotton for a bit better than $1.50 a pound last year. "I contracted about two thirds at what seemed like a good price at the time," he says.
He turned down one offer of 99.5 cents a pound. "I told them I had to have $1 a pound because I'd never sold dollar cotton before," he says. He got it. "Later it went to $1.25 and then I sold some for $1.55, I think."
They'll rely on crop insurance to make up part of what they would get if they could make a full crop this year.
"We could contract now for about $1.30 a pound," Langston says. "But we have good insurance coverage and the guarantee of $1.23 a pound will help. That's up from 72 cents last year."
They also get help this year on loss of cottonseed revenue.
Marble says the prolonged drought and likely abandonment of many thousands of acres — some estimates predict losing up to 2 million acres of dryland cotton — will affect more than just the farmers struggling to make this crop.
This drought will hurt our infrastructure," he says. "The boys who are spraying and fertilizing will be hurt." Gins and other support industries also will suffer from lost acreage and reduced production on the acres that remain.
Langston says cotton continues to be the best option for the area "year in and year out."
The three have been through tough times before and agree that hanging on is the best they can do. "We may not make two or three bales an acre this year," Langston says. "But I want to know that I gave it everything I had. I've seen some similar droughts but I got through them and kept on going."

Today's Washington Times reports on the Senate Democrats who have changed their minds about the "surge" in Iraq:
[A]t least a dozen Democratic senators who in the past have called for more troops in Iraq … now support a resolution condemning President Bush's plan to do just that.
A few quotes. John Kerry, 2005:
We don't have enough troops in Iraq.
Joe Biden, 2005:
There's not enough force on the ground now to mount a real counterinsurgency…They're going to need a surge of forces.
Not long ago, the idea that the administration had "blundered" by not putting enough troops in Iraq was conventional wisdom among many Democrats. But it appears that they were in favor of augmenting our forces only if there were no danger that it might actually happen.

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — Saudi Arabia says one more man has died from a new respiratory virus related to SARS, bringing to 42 the number of deadly cases in the kingdom at the center of the outbreak.
The Saudi Health Ministry said the 38-year-old man who died Wednesday in Hafar al-Batin city in the Eastern Province was also suffering from acute pneumonia, while tests of a new suspected case involving a 55-year-old man in the western province of al-Madina proved positive.
The new virus, MERS or Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome is related to SARS, or severe acute respiratory syndrome, which killed some 800 people in a global outbreak in 2003. It belongs to a family of viruses that most often causes the common cold.

Data from Medically Indigent Care Reporting System (MICRS) summary reports are validated based on rigorous desk audits by the State. However, field audits to further verify the accuracy of county reported data have not occurred.
Counties do not report "patient-specific" data on county indigent patients to the State. MICRS only provides "summary" patient, expenditure and socio-economic data for county indigent services. In addition, counties are not required to report various types of programmatic information such as their scope of services, eligibility criteria, or methods of provider reimbursements. Since programmatic arrangements can vary between counties, users should consider these types of variables when attempting to compare data between counties.
Counties are instructed to report all payments and costs associated with their provision of county indigent health care, but to omit indigent expenditures by providers, which are not reimbursed by the county. Users should be aware that payments for providing county indigent health care may be less than the providers' actual cost of care or billed amounts.
MICRS data do not contain information on medically indigent patients who did not have some portion of their care paid for by the county.

Regarding the other ballot measure you were all wondering about: voters in the 3rd Berkshire District in Pittsfield, Massachusetts rejected a proposal to allow women to walk around topless in public. Their reasoning, though, was odd.
"All I can think of is your daughters," [said Michelle Jester, of Pittsfield]. "Would you want them to be walking down the street topless?"
Well, that depends.

There is the theory that nitrogen fixation and soil residual nitrogen may not supply enough nitrogen for soybeans to maximize yield, especially in high-yield environments. This has provided impetus for assessing the effect of nitrogen (N) fertilizer on soybean yield.
Research in several states provides results that address using starter N fertilizer applied to normal and late-planted soybeans, N fertilizer applied in an amount to replace bacteria-fixed nitrogen, and N fertilizer applied during reproductive development when nitrogen demand is highest. In the following summary of results from this research, low residual soil nitrogen is generally considered to be below 50 to 70 pounds per acre. Profitability is measured using a nitrogen price of $0.40 per pound applied by air at a cost of $5 per acre and a soybean price of $6 per bushel.
Starter N fertilizer, normal-time plantings. When soybeans were planted at the normal time (April–May) in Mississippi (30 pounds N per acre), Missouri (25 pounds N per acre), and Nebraska (50 pounds N per acre) , starter N fertilizer either provided no yield increase or a yield increase that did not cover the cost of the fertilizer. Thus, net returns were lowered in both cases. Adding starter N fertilizer to soybeans may delay or impede nodulation, and thus can reduce nitrogen fixation.
Starter N fertilizer, late plantings. Two Alabama studies looked at applying starter N fertilizer (about 50 pounds N per acre) to soybeans planted at a time (mid-June to late July) that mimics those planted as a doublecrop in the midsouthern US. All sites had low residual soil nitrogen. Yield increases in one study did not increase profits, whereas yield increases in a second study increased profits over $30 per acre.
The Kansas Soybean Production Handbook states that soybeans planted into large amounts of wheat straw may respond to small amounts (10 to 20 pounds N per acre) of starter N fertilizer because inorganic nitrogen is temporarily immobilized by soil microorganisms decomposing the wheat straw.
N fertilizer applied to replace fixed Nitrogen. Studies in Mississippi and Nebraska researched applying a high rate of N fertilizer (>200 pounds N per acre) that was deemed sufficient to replace or supplant nitrogen fixation. Yields were increased above those obtained from soybeans receiving no N fertilizer, but the increases were not profitable. These results indicate that nitrogen fixation is not sufficient to maximize seed yield, but replacing fixed nitrogen with N fertilizer is unprofitable.
N fertilizer applied during reproductive (R3 to R4) development. Results from Kansas (irrigated), Minnesota, and Missouri (some irrigated) studies show mixed results from this practice. Results from Minnesota (75 pounds applied N per acre) and Missouri (25 pounds applied N per acre) showed no yield increase and thus decreased profits. The Kansas (20 pounds applied N per acre) results showed an average yield increase of 7 bushels per acre and almost $30 per acre greater returns. The Kansas sites had low residual soil nitrogen, and irrigated yields were generally greater than 55 bushels per acre.
Summary. 1) Soybeans planted in a normal timeframe do not respond profitably to preplant or "starter" N fertilizer. 2) In extremely late plantings and especially those following a small grain, applying preplant N fertilizer may increase soybean yields and profits at sites with low residual soil nitrogen. 3) Producers desiring to maximize yields from irrigated plantings on soils with low residual soil nitrogen should consider applying 20 to 25 pounds N per acre at beginning podset to ensure nitrogen deficiency does not limit yields in these high-yield (> 55 bushels per acre) environments. A key point with this management option is to irrigate following surface N fertilizer application to ensure immediate uptake.
Additional points. First, plants growing under droughty conditions may appear nitrogen-deficient, but in fact the lack of water has suppressed nitrogen fixation and this will not be remedied by application of N fertilizer. Second, it is not possible to predict soybean response to N fertilizer based on soil properties. However, situations with positive responses generally have either very low residual soil nitrogen, low nitrogen mineralization capability, or soil pH so low that it inhibits nodulation and nitrogen fixation.

HP Palm has this week released its webOS 3.0 Software Development Kit (SDK) to its developer community. Available via the HP webOS Developer Portal, the new SDK is aligned towards the company's next generation of webOS devices including the HP TouchPad.
New developer opportunities as a result of this SDK release include the option to use 'Enyo', a new JavaScript application framework with native hardware acceleration and faster app load times that supports new and future webOS form factors.
Developers will also be able to leverage core webOS features like Just Type, Synergy, and Exhibition -- as well as reference new UI components, layouts, and application examples. Programmers can also get helpful guidance on app structuring, design, and navigation for the TouchPad.
According to the official HP Palm developer blog, "Developing for an innovative platform in webOS and a new device like the TouchPad would already be significant on its own. But the story is much larger than that. That's because HP is using webOS to create a seamless, secure, and connected experience across a multitude of products from smartphones, tablets, PCs, printers, and other products that serve millions, from consumers to the enterprise. Developing for webOS now puts you in a position to deliver innovative apps to potentially millions of devices every year."

Indeed.. annualized return rate is an economic planning number, good if you're a retailer or consumer manufacturer trying to estimate how much to allow for, but hardly a testable specification. (I would imagine, though, that they can, if necessary, back up their <1% return rate with documentation...). If I were a HP making millions of consumer computers, that's the spec I'd really want to see. If I were a cluster builder or server farm operator with concerns about failure rates over a 3 year design life, then I'd want to see real reliability data. >Even if manufacturers were to truthfully report their overall warranty >return experience, this would not prevent them from releasing a bad batch >of drives every now and then.

Precisely true... >Until a better solution is found, we can only make educated guesses -- and >share anecdotal stories about bad batches to avoid... > Or, spend some time with the full reliability data and make a "calculated" guess. This is kind of what separates the big companies from the small ones. The big ones have the resources to do meaningful tests (i.e. pull 1000 units off the line and life test them), the small ones don't. It's interesting.. to a certain extent this discussion reflects the change in Beowulfery.. from making use of commodity consumer equipment (because it's cheap and living within the limitations.. interconnect bandwidth, etc.) to far more specialized cluster computing, where you're looking at the details of node reliability, infrastructure issues, etc. Part of it is the scale of clusters has increased. It used to be 4 or 8 computers in the typical cluster, and even with kind of crummy reliability, it worked ok. The failures weren't so common that you couldn't run a big job, and the impact of having to replace a machine wasn't so huge. Now, though, with 1000 nodes, the reliability becomes much more important, because the failure rate is multiplied by 1000, instead of 8. James Lux, P.E.

MIT is a large institution with a rich array of resources and activities that are available to DUSP students.
The MIT Libraries, with holdings of more than 2.7 million volumes, support students in all major fields of study and research at MIT. On the Libraries' web site (libraries.mit.edu), Barton, the Libraries' catalog, lists holdings of books, journals, and theses, and Vera, the online guide to electronic resources, lists databases and e-journals, subject web pages, and e-mail addresses of library subject specialists ready to provide reference help and instruction online or in person.
The Rotch Library of Architecture and Planning, Room 7-238, one of the five divisional libraries, is the home library for planning students and the place where print course reserve readings are located. The Dewey Library of management, politics, and economics, E53-100, is also a highly relevant collection. Resource materials for interdisciplinary subjects, like environment, are collected in each of the subject libraries. Barton gives the location of materials and shows whether books are out in circulation, on reserve, or currently available. Barton and Vera are accessible from library terminals, Athena workstations, dial-in terminals, and the Internet.
The Rotch Library covers the subjects of urban design and development, real estate, environmental policy and land use, geographic information systems, housing and community economic development, regional planning and development, urban transportation, and planning practice. It also has copies of the theses of most former DUSP students. The new GIS laboratory is located at http://libraries.mit.edu/gis/. Slides, digital images, CDs and videotapes are available for student use through the Rotch Visual Collections, Room 7-304. At Rotch, graduate students may arrange for borrowing privileges at the Harvard College Libraries and the Loeb Library, Harvard Graduate School of Design.

The Center provides a pharmacy, infirmary, and facilities for medical, dental, surgical, and other specialties. It employs 24 full-time and over 50 part-time physicians as well as other professional support personnel. Students are assigned a personal physician and a pediatric service provides care for students' children.
For more information, please visit the MIT Medical web site:
MIT operates 12 retail food service operations on campus. These vary from the offerings at Stratton Student Center on the west side of campus to Walker Memorial on the east side facing the Charles River, which houses a dining hall, a snack bar, and a graduate student pub. Other facilities offer various dining options as well as a well-stocked convenience store and evening snack bar, open seven days a week until 2 a.m. The Kosher Kitchen provides Kosher, non-dairy dinners three evenings a week.
The multilevel student center houses the Lobdell Court cafeteria, a coffeehouse and student art center, and various recreational and commercial facilities such an arcade, LaVerde's Market, a travel agency and Technicuts. The Student Center Plaza, where students congregate, is bounded on the west by Kresge Auditorium with its large concert hall seating 1,200, and its theatre, offices, and rehearsal rooms.
The Coop is a small, cooperative department store and bookstore, with two branches on the MIT campus. As members of the MIT community, students may become Coop members and obtain yearly charge cards, enabling them to receive end-of-year rebates, a percentage of the total yearly expenditure on all purchases.
For more information, please visit the COOP web site:
The MIT Work-Life Center fosters a welcoming and supportive environment that enhances the lives of the diverse mix of people and families who live, work and study at MIT. The Center provides services in the areas of parenting, child care, school information, job flexibility and relocation to MIT. It offers referrals and guidance to those seeking information and solutions through MIT's network of human services offices and organizations. Finally, staff perform research in and advocacy for work/life issues and help develop policies and programs that improve the quality of life at MIT.
For more information, please visit the CWFLP web site:
The DUSP faculty recognize that success in both academic work and professional practice relies heavily on strong communication skills. The most effective planners possess the ability to synthesize complex data and other information, organize its analysis, and formulate its interpretation into persuasive forms of argument. As a consequence, the Department has consistently established writing ability as a competency it expects of graduating students, and provides a range of resources students may access to demonstrate and achieve it.
All those who are not native speakers of English take the Institute's English Evaluation Test given by the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures during Orientation Week, for an early evaluation of their speaking and writing abilities and placement in appropriate English as a Second Language courses. Other support for developing writing skills is available through MIT's Writing and Communication Center.
Students may choose to participate in a variety of activities offered by the Department, MIT, and the greater-Cambridge/Boston area.
Students often liken their experience at MIT to taking a drink of water from a fire hose. The number of intellectual and social activities in the Department is extensive. A weekly electronic newsletter keeps members of the Department informed about lectures, meetings, job and internship openings, and provides general announcements.
The highly successful Internship Program offers MCP students myriad paid opportunities to work in public, private, and nonprofit organizations, often under the mentorship of a DUSP alumnus/a. Gaining professional experience is a critical complement to the academic experience of the Master's program. Internships are most often one semester in duration, but sometimes can extend throughout a student's two-year enrollment.
Graduate students are encouraged to share in the many cultural and social activities available. During the academic year, students can participate in and attend over 400 music, theater, and dance events on campus. Visual arts activities range from Student Art Association classes in painting, sculpture, and photography to opportunities to explore interactive video, computer graphics, and holography. The List Visual Arts Center, located in the Weisner Building, is internationally recognized for its contemporary art exhibitions. The MIT Museum offers exhibitions and programs that explore the interplay between art, science, and technology.
Leaders in many fields give campus lectures and seminars. Numerous special interest groups and religious organizations offer a variety of opportunities. Just one example is the Graduate Student Council (GSC), which is concerned primarily with promoting the general welfare of the graduate student body and voicing its ideas and concerns to the administration.
In addition to campus activities, Boston-variously referred to as "Beantown," the "Hub," and the "Athens of America "-and the larger metropolitan area have much to offer in terms of rich history, culture, and diversity, with activities to satisfy all tastes and budgets.
The following resources are available for current students (access requires MIT certificates):

Error Causes Confusion with Rapid City Inmate
RAPID CITY - Authorities say an inmate who they believed went missing briefly Monday morning was actually never missing and was where he was supposed to be.
State prison officials had said 35-year-old Aaron Olson left the prison Monday morning to go to his work-release job but didn't show up there and was found a short time later in the city.
Officials now say that a record-keeping error caused confusion and that Olson had been where he was supposed to be.
Olson is serving a 2-year sentence on a Hughes County drug charge.
