Cotton Remains In The Mix
Farmers are still deciding on what crops to grow this year. Soybeans did really well in 2008 with a record statewide yield of 38 bushels per acre. One reason for this high yield was because of good rotations in cotton, peanuts or corn for many years without soybeans having been in the rotation. Most producers used fungicides since soybean rust was in all of the soybean-producing counties, which probably added three to five bushels per acre.
Cotton acreage was down by about 15 percent in 2008 but may not go down as anticipated for 2009. This is due to lack of contracts for peanuts and high fertilizer prices that drove some producers away from corn and the memory of the disaster in the eastern part of the panhandle on corn in 2008.
Cotton has been a good non-irrigated crop and does well if there are some decent rains in either July or August. Most producers in this part of the Deep South are peanut farmers, and it is widely known that soybeans will mess up that rotation and will lead to an eventual yield reduction to both peanuts and soybeans. Therefore, many of our producers will plant cotton to help either peanuts or soybeans in the rotation in future years.
Weather conditions in Mississippi this spring are beginning to remind me of weather conditions we faced in the spring of 2008. Last spring proved especially difficult for cotton as weather and soil conditions remained cool and wet well into May. As a result, nearly 50 percent of our crop was planted around the third week of May.
As we progress further into the planting season with the threat of inclement weather conditions, the effects of planting cotton during less-than-optimum conditions should be considered. Planting when conditions are cool and wet can have repercussions that will last for the remainder of the growing season. Seedlings that do not emerge uniformly can result in variability in growth for the remainder of the season, which makes uniform plant growth regulation difficult.
Less-than-optimum or skippy plant populations can result in delayed maturity and/or yield reductions. Skip lengths greater than two feet can significantly reduce cotton yields. Significant input costs and increasingly tight profit margins demand that cotton be planted in optimum conditions and be given every advantage for optimum growth and development throughout the growing season. Proper stand establishment and early season management are the keys for a productive crop.
As we approach planting, it's hard to realize that Missouri had almost a half million acres of cotton several years ago. Now the USDA projection is at 300,000 acres, which is a two percent drop from last year. The loss of acreage to corn and soybeans doesn't really affect cotton rotations very much in Missouri. The producers who grow watermelons in Missouri will rotate to cotton since it helps prevent disease in the melon crop. With the higher prices for the alternative crops, there is not much rotation going on although there are benefits from the rotation. If root-knot nematodes are a problem in cotton, there is growing evidence that corn will not reduce the nematode levels.
When we have had very windy days this spring, I have seen some blowing sand problems. While most of our producers use some form of conservation tillage and wheat planted in the middles, we have less potential for the type of a storm that occurred on Mother's Day in the late 1980s. However, we have a few producers who still use conventional tillage with no cover. This cotton is very susceptible to sand injury after planting, which can delay maturity and decrease yields.
I have seen sulphur deficiency in our winter wheat this season based on soil tests, which indicates to me that cotton producers need to apply sulphur to their cotton on the very sandy soils. Any soil with a cation exchange capacity of 6.5 or less is vulnerable to loss of sulphur.
Cotton acreage reductions for Louisiana in 2009 will likely not be as large as predicted in January when the forecasts were for 80,000 to 100,000 fewer acres than in 2008. Most recent projections are for planted acreage of 240,000 acres, which would be 50,000 fewer acres than harvested in 2008 – still a substantial reduction.
Many factors are affecting final acreage numbers including economics, rotations and double cropping. Producers who recognize the benefits of cotton in rotations are opting to keep cotton in their mix of crops. One of the benefits of the lower acreage, if there can be one, is that yield potentials should be higher than in the past. This actually happened in 2008 when the Louisiana crop was exceptional but 50 percent of the yield was lost to Hurricanes Gustav and Ike. Higher yields are possible because less cotton will be planted on marginal lands, and each planted acre will be managed to the best possible extent with maximum attention to nutrient and pest management.
If the weather cooperates, especially avoiding the types of catastrophic weather events like we saw with the hurricanes in 2005 and 2008, we should see excellent yields for the 2009 crop. Also, because of wet, cold weather, virtually none of the 2009 crop was planted in late March and early April. In the past, late March and early April planted cotton was usually stressed by cold and wet conditions and had marginal stands that limited yield potential. This year there is an opportunity, weather permitting, to plant most of the cotton near the optimal dates centered around May 1.
Although wheat acreage in Louisiana is down somewhat from past years, we will have 260,000 acres of harvested wheat, mostly in the central and northeast part of the state. Wheat in Louisiana is harvested in mid-May, presenting an excellent opportunity for planting a summer double crop.
AgCenter research shows yield increases for cotton in wheat residue, mostly because of the water-conserving effects of the ground cover. Also, often overlooked is that wheat residue contains valuable plant nutrients (N, P, K, S, Ca, Mg, etc.) worth more than $100 per acre. Burning the residue will result in the loss of 40 to 80 percent of these nutrients.
Management of reniform and root-knot nematodes was identified by Alabama farmers as being the No. 1 problem for them just a few years ago. Early season damage by these nematodes was severely stunting cotton growth in many Alabama fields, and control was erratic. Currently, with more acreage being rotated to corn, wheat and soybeans, this has resulted in very little cotton following cotton now being planted.
These rotations have greatly diminished the cotton nematode problem in Alabama and may be one of the reasons for the record high cotton yields in 2008. The grain crops are also benefiting from the cotton being in the rotation by reducing the disease and insect pressures that can result in continuous productions of grains. We learned in the early 1980s in Alabama how important it is to keep cotton in the crop rotation. Most producers understand this and want to plant cotton if the economics will let them.
Weather patterns during the 2009 SJV planting season in California have produced somewhat of a split planting season. We have earlier (March/early April) plantings during earlier warm weather that are moving along fairly well, followed by a gap of a couple of weeks or more with few plantings during colder, windy weather, now followed by warm conditions and later plantings after mid-April.
This set-up to the growing season makes decisions on timing of first post-planting irrigation more difficult. Even if you are furrow or flood irrigating and trying to eliminate one or more full irrigations during the season, it will be important to remember that as long as plants have a fairly decent root system, the growth stages where moderate-to-severe stress will most impact yield and quality is mid-squaring through about a week or so after peak bloom. Stress is more tolerable later in the season as long as fruit set is decent in the mid- and lower canopy.
If you have had good results in the past with eyeball evaluations or calendar timing for first irrigation timing, this may be the year when you need to again consider some use of soil monitoring (even just a shovel in the root zone) or closer plant monitoring (pressure bomb, plant internode growth rates) to assist with irrigation timing decisions.
From a drought to a flood. We usually say we are never more than three days away from a drought on our south Georgia sandy soils, but in the last month it seems like we are never more than three days away from a flood! Two major rainstorms during the last week of March and the first week of April dumped somewhere between 10 and 15 inches of rain on most of the south Georgia Cotton Belt.
Some areas received up to 20 inches, and there was significant soil erosion, especially on conventionally-tilled fields that had been harrowed. Luckily, most cotton land had not been fertilized and bedded, so unlike with corn, these operations did not have to be repeated. This will compress the time we have for fertilizing and land preparation and likely delay cotton planting, depending on how much rain we get in May.
May is usually one of our drier months and hopefully planting will not be delayed by more than two weeks or so. Again, we usually say we are never more than three days from a drought. So it might sound crazy to suggest irrigating soon after planting this year. However, one of our best defenses against the dreaded glyphosate-resistant pigweed is residual herbicides at planting. And since most of these herbicides require rain or irrigation for activation, if it doesn't rain, they need to be irrigated. In fact, I've heard it said that this might be the most important irrigation decision you make all year.
The period between planting and first square (First Forty Days) is a critical time for the cotton plant. Pest management – especially early season thrips and weed control – is crucial to keep the seedling cotton plant on track. Cool and/or cool wet weather will slow growth of young cotton plants, allowing thrips and seedling diseases the opportunity to cause damage, reduce stand and delay maturity.
Most producers in Arkansas protect seedlings from early season insect pressure through an insecticide applied in-furrow or as a seed treatment. Extended periods of cool weather may decrease effectiveness of these treatments over time. Therefore, fields should be monitored for insect pests and seedling diseases during periods where cotton is not growing off. Weed management is just as important as insect control early. Cotton is not very competitive, therefore low populations of weeds could potentially reduce yield and cause delays in maturity.
An effective weed control plan utilizing residual herbicides early will provide fields with the best start possible. Cotton in Arkansas should reach square in 35 to 45 days, depending on planting date. Any interference with weed, disease or insect pests will delay the period between squaring and ultimately delay maturity.
It has been a difficult year to predict row crop acreage in Alabama this season. We began the year with predicted cotton acreage at 193,000 but now have a revised estimate of 280,000. The difficulty this year stems from the volatility of the grain and soybean markets, lack of peanut contracts and heavy rainfall during the normal corn planting window. While cotton acreage may fluctuate this year, the opportunity for crop rotation has been positive for many areas of the state.
Two primary considerations that are driving our need to rotate include the influx of peanuts into central and southwestern Alabama counties and a severe nematode complex that is difficult to manage with chemicals alone. In central and southwestern counties where a new peanut community has developed, some producers are in desperate need to rotate to manage troublesome diseases that will almost certainly come with continuous production.
An approach that a producer friend of mine mentioned was that he would grow cotton this year where his price floor was already set. Since both crops appear to have a fairly low profit potential in 2009, he will rotate out of peanuts so that he can then take advantage of a stronger price next season if that should come.
Most of the producers with whom I have visited this past winter were still trying to decide what their crop mix would be as late as early April. Those persons interested in complete Alabama row crop information are encouraged to visit our Web site at: www.alabamacrops.com.

Yakima, WASH.--If you haven't had your hearing checked in a while, now's your chance.
The Yakima Valley Hearing and Speech Center will hold free screenings every Thursday this month. You can stop by between 3-5 p.m.
Clinicians said one-third of the people they'll see will be recommended for a full evaluation because they won't pass.
You're supposed to get your hearing checked once every couple of years, but health experts said that's rarely the case.
"They say on average it takes someone seven years to come in and have a hearing test, so this is an easy way to do it," said Sally Rodgers, the Director of Audiology for the center. "It's a quick process and identifies the need for more testing."
The Yakima Rotary Club, Kiwanis Club and the Yakima Valley Community Foundation are providing all the testing equipment.

Limestone County Narcotics Investigators arrested two people on Tuesday after authorities said they tried to get an illegal substance into the Limestone County Jail.
Investigators said a letter was sent to an inmate on Feb. 4 that contained a Suboxone strip. Suboxone, also known as Butrans, is a narcotic used to treat chronic pain.
The jail staff indicated that the inmate and his wife had been discussing a plan to get the drug into the jail in an envelope.
Upon searching the inmate's mail, investigators said the substance was found.
Inmate Justin Swanner was arrested and charged with attempting to commit promoting prison contraband. His wife, Angela Nicole Barron Swanner, was arrested and charged with promoting prison contraband and distribution of a controlled substance.

Superior Outdoors Vehicle by Frankie on 07/22/2012. Trim: 2012 Nissan Xterra Pro-4X 4X4, Owned 1 year.
Pros: Tons of power, great looks, very versatile, all kinds of storage space, top-notch quality, very rugged.
Cons: Gas mileage is pretty bad but you get bad mileage because of all the power this car provides.
Overall review: I've wanted an Xterra since the 1990's and I finally got one and went with a black Off Road version. I love everything about this car except the gas mileage. However, the trade off for the bad mileage is power whenever you want it. This truck sounds more like an American muscle car than a Japanese SUV. I still love walking up to this truck in the parking lot and have already had all kinds of adventures in the backcountry of Oregon. This truck is for outdoor enthusiasts and not for commuting around town. You can of course get around the city in one just fine but they are meant for the outdoors. I love this car.

Although known as interstate highways, the roads around Hawaii don't connect to another state. While stretches of American "superslab" roll on for what seems like an eternity, Oahu's interstate circles the island like some sort of giant racetrack. It was here on a stretch of slightly moist tarmac on the windward side of the island that Brandon Lee got a chance to toy with us in his 1984Toyota Corolla GT-S.
Lush vegetation climbed the hill to the right of us while a rocky outcrop led out to sea on the right. The Big Wave surfing competition a few days earlier had been just that, with thirty-footers pounding well past the shore and leaving a fair amount of debris across our two-lane track as it rounded it's way around the island in a series of esses.
Without warning, Brandon pulled a Scandinavian flick, weighting up the rear and sending us into a diabolical drift. Man, machine and nature came together in a fabulous triad as he clipped the foliage at the apex and got a rear wheel off at the exit.
"I have a hatchback but I find the coupe easier to control," says Brandon casually over the din of the spinning tires and force-fed inline four as we rocket toward the next curve. "I just wanted a coupe because everybody else seemed to want the hatch."
Unless you've been living in a cave the past four years, you know that vintage (pre '84) Toyota Corollas have gotten hotter than a Hawaiian golf course. Just take a look at this recent exchange from an enthusiast Web site.
Ricer 1: Man, I scored this Hachi Roku on eBay for just $5,000! And it almost runs!
Ricer 2: DAMN DAWG, you're gonna be the best drifter in Kansas!
Before we go making light of the AE86's newfound popularity, a brief history lesson is in order.
The rear-wheel drive Toyota Corolla was first introduced in Japan in 1966. Two years later it was brought to the United States to replace the unpopular and barely noticed Crown.
It lasted only two years with its original 1.1-liter engine, when a larger 1970 model appeared, powered by a "much larger" 1.2-liter engine. This new model actually became the second highest-selling import car in 1970. For 1971, the engine was pushed out to 1.6 liters to be more in tune with American tastes.
The Corolla's strongest popularity came in 1974, with the third generation, including the inexpensive Corolla Tercel. It was the best-selling vehicle in the world from 1974 to 1977. Five years later, in 1979, the fourth generation appeared, still with rear-wheel drive.
When the fifth generation Corolla appeared in 1984 it came with front-wheel drive and a coupe version, the GT-S, with a 16-valve engine. The GT-S remained in production through 1991.
It was before this FWD model that delivery drivers like the one in the anime series "Initial D" started looking for quicker routes around the corners of the various mountain passes they had to navigate. The AE86 proved to be as proficient a drifter then as it is now.
While the RWD platform stopped production in '84, Brandon acquired his first Hachi Roku around 10 years later when he first learned to drive. It was an '84 SR5 Corolla.
"I bought the GT-S (the coupe) for $500 back in '98," said Brandon. "At the time it wasn't running. It took me about a year to get it back on the road."
At first he started to build the Corolla like most others employing mostly bolt-ons such as headers, exhaust, MSD coils and bigger cams. Another bolt-on came in the form of a $600 T-25 turbo from a friend.
A risky proposition for an engine with 220,000 miles and stock blue top bottom end. The engine ran for about three weeks before the #4 piston cracked. Cylinder #1 responded to the cracking by melting. When there's a crack party like that it's time to go to rehab.
"I thought about just putting in another stock block but I decided to do it the right way. I downed the car for a year and started to buy parts like crazy," said Brandon.
One of the first parts he acquired was an AE101 block from a Japan-only FWD '91 Corolla. It is a seven-rib block with incorporated oil squirters as opposed to the USDM five-rib '84 block. The AE101 was built to handle the extra power made by the supercharger found on the aforementioned Japan-only 16-valve Corolla.

CINCINNATI, OH (WTAQ) - Rookie Hiram Burgos just had "one of those games" for the Milwaukee Brewers in Saturday's 13-7 loss at Cincinnati.
With the bullpen tired from all the work recently, Burgos wound up absorbing a pounding at Great American Ballpark, surrendering a dozen runs on 11 hits and three walks in 3 innings. He took the loss.
The Brewers had just four pitchers available in the bullpen.
Six different Reds batters knocked in two runs and the bottom five hitters in that lineup went 8-for-9 off Burgos.
Mat Latos got the win and kept his record perfect at 4-0. Milwaukee had scored twice in the top of the first, but the home-standing Reds crossed the plate 5 times in the 2nd and seven more in the 3rd.
Jean Segura and Norichika Aoki had home runs for the Brewers.

The Bristol County District Attorney's office said Wednesday the death of a 69-year-old Fairhaven woman is being investigated as a homicide. An autopsy was performed Today. The victim has been identified as Joyce Howland.
Howland was an elementary school teacher in town for years.
"She was very creative and it was just I loved working with her," said Ann Kocor.
Kocor worked with Howland at the East Fairhaven Elementary School. Wednesday night she placed a single rose on Howland's porch.
"She was just a fun person. I remember we use to call her the recess Queen cause she loved recess," said Kocor.
"It hurts ya know. Fairhaven is a pretty quiet town, this is a fairly quiet neighborhood. It's always a shock when something like this happens. We feel bad ya know," said neighbor Charlie Tapper.
Police say a friend made the call, after going to check on Howland at her home on Hamlet Street. Howland had plans the night before and didn't show. Police got to the house around 11:30 Tuesday to find Howland deceased. At first, police weren't sure how Howland died, but as the investigation continued, her death become suspicious.
The DA's office says they have reason to believe Howland knew the attacker or attackers and that there is no threat to the public.

Margarita Ruiz, Fall Event 2009
It's Time! Scaling Up THP to Achieve a Hunger-Free Future
Remarks delivered by
Margarita Ruiz, State Coordinator, Chiapas, The Hunger Project-Mexico
New York, NY
Good Evening, everyone. I want to thank you all for coming tonight to this meeting. I am a 20-year-old woman, from the San Andrés Larraínzar municipio, in the state of Chiapas. Despite my youth, I am already a married woman and I have a two-year-old son, Luis. I want to thank my husband, Mariano López Pérez, who is present here with me tonight. I also want to thank The Hunger Project (THP) for the opportunity of being here to share with you about my life, the women's cooperative and my community.
To start talking about the women's cooperative to which I belong, J´Pas Joloviletik, I must talk first about my mother, Petrona López. Since she was 15, she was the representative of a community close to Bayalemo, called Kamtealukum
At this time, a woman wasn't allowed to decide with whom she could get married; it's the father who decided it. My grandfather didn't want his daughter to marry before she did something she really liked to do. My mother wanted to have a group of women who could weave and sell what they produced. For that, they would have to go to the nearest city, San Cristóbal de las Casas.
The norm is that women get married when they reach the age of 12, but my mother was still single, even though many men had tried to marry her. In order to be able to get to San Cristóbal de las Casas around 11 in the morning they had to leave the house around two in the morning. As a single woman she could not walk alone, so my grandfather, Pascual López Díaz, walked with her. He always supported her and allowed her to work in whatever she liked.
After time passed, when my mother finally got married, she was 21, and she went to live in the Bayalemó community in the house of her in-laws. But she had to leave her job as representative of the women artisans for a year because my father and my mother got sick. That year went by and she went back to represent the women because during her absence, no one took her place.
Thanks to a program from the National Institute for the Indigenous Populations (INI), a cooperative was founded with around 400 women who had to take courses on what a cooperative was and how it works. At the beginning, there were some group representatives who said, "Let's keep making clothing; some day we will sell them," but others said, "No, it will never work."
Unfortunately, in 1994, INI had a struggle with the Zapatistas who burned the INI offices and, with that, the entire cooperative's documentation got burned. This situation made it hard to look for support with other government programs.
In January 2008, when THP arrived at the cooperative, it was like a stranger. To us, just the name itself of the organization sounded funny and we did not understand why. We used to gather at the day-long workshop far away from home, and when we went back to our community, our heads were filled with words that we did not understand. Many months went by like this and the representatives of the groups of the cooperative did not share the information with the other women back in the communities, but they did talk to their husbands about it.
When a woman is married in my community, her duty is to stay at home and have many children, and she needs to have the fire lighted all the time. This is who we call a married woman. But when a married woman lets the fire die, she is called a bad woman because tradition tells us that the wife is the one who must take care of her husband, the chickens, the children and the home.
The husband doesn't do any domestic work; he doesn't even know what type of work this is, and he just works in the fields. A woman always has to say "yes" to everything, even when she doesn't feel like it. She simply cannot say "no" or she gets beaten. That is the way in the communities. But there are women who dream about getting out of their villages; they even dream of the possibility of going to walk around San Cristóbal de las Casas...but it is very hard to tell their husbands about their dreams because two things can happen: either he accepts her dream or he beats her.
When he does not let the woman go out, she keeps on dreaming about doing more than just domestic work. When the husband does understand these dreams, the woman feels happy... but this lasts only for a moment because afterwards the gossiping, the scolding, starts. It might be that the husband ends up believing the gossip. That is why it is necessary to learn how to receive the gossip, understand it and talk with him in a good way before time passes by. But it is very difficult. It is not easy to find the way to talk to him. When gossip starts, one starts wondering, "What did I get myself into?" or "why did I believe in this, because it would have been much easier if I had just said, 'no,' and I had not participated with this organization?"
This process is so scary that you end up convincing yourself that they are right. "I do not take care of my family or my home; my duty is stay here in my community." At this moment you already have a big disappointment because you do not have your husband's support; you only have yourself. That is why women at the beginning of this awakening process say, "Yes, let's go," and then, when time passes they start saying, "No, I need to stay here. I can't do it any more." Men are so proud of being men; they were raised like that. Being a man means always being right, means they are the one telling the truth. It is as if they were the only ones with brains, and women just have to accept what they say.
But, at present times, there are already men who have left their pride behind. They start to ask the wife what to do, and how it is going. The woman starts to feel happy because they are starting to communicate. When I say, "communicate," I mean that the woman starts to say what her vision is, she begins to participate in the decision making, and she starts having the man as a friend. Traditionally, in the communities, it is not allowed to have friends, girls or boys, because it is not viewed well. If people found a man and a woman talking and, if they did not belong to the same family, it was assumed there was something going on. People think that the man is a lover, or husband, and they think of you as a prostitute.
People look at the way you stand, the way you walk, the way you act in front of a man. They look to see if you are wearing the traditional clothes, if your hairdo is like theirs or even how you are treating the elderly people. If you start changing something, either you wear pants or make-up or you do not have any respect for elderly people... they think you are living like the kaxlanes. We, the indigenous people call the white people kaxlan because their skin is white, they eat differently, they dress differently, they know how to talk Spanish, and we understand that we must talk to them with a lot of respect so that they can understand us.
When an indigenous woman acts like kaxlan we call her stuck up because it is not her origin. She acts like she does not understand Tzotzil, she does not respect the elders, and it is very difficult to live in both worlds: either you live with pants or you live with the traditional dress. The skirt reminds you to follow the rules.
The elderly people and our parents understand, little by little, that not dressing traditionally does not mean that culture is being lost. As a couple, men and women understand each other because the woman learned to communicate about what she does at each meeting or workshop. In the old times, men and women did not know what a feeling or an emotion was. If you asked them they did not know what it was, but if you pointed out those emotional moments, they discovered that they did exist. But no one taught them how to express themselves. These feelings bring a new sense of confidence for the couple and from there, men begin to understand women, and they let her go. The woman, by having confidence, brings the information and communicates it to her husband. The man trusts her because there is confidence now. We women have learned to express our feelings through education and workshops. At school, the teacher talks to us about our feelings, and the older women learn at the workshops about it because they do not attended school.
In this manner, we women realized we can do more than what we think. This has helped women to talk without fear and to learn the meaning of some words like respect, confidence, dignity, emotion and appreciation, because these are the words we use at THP workshops. Not long ago, for all of us, these words were unknown. This way we can organize better, and this has helped us to have new projects like the vegetable family gardens. They are very important for the indigenous families, because we don't have to spend any more money to buy vegetables and we are seizing the land in our homes to produce more.
Now, we are creating new clothing designs for our embroideries. The women have come to realize that they are producing the same clothing that all the women in the region make. They have started to question themselves about what they will do. At The Hunger Project's workshops, we have created a vision where we have new designs, and this vision is coming true. We have new designs that are not for sale yet, and we need to rearrange the cooperative store to make it more attractive to the public. We are doing this, step by step.
To find new markets we have thought of computers, which we say is like a TV, because that is what we understand about it. We didn't understand how it works but we knew that we could sell or do things through it, so we all said, "let's sell on the computer." The Hunger Project explained to us how to use the computer, take digital pictures and send things by mail, and then, we opened an account on Paypal and eBay. We uploaded a lot of pictures but after some months, we realized that the benefit of selling through eBay wasn't that big, because of the fees they charged. Then we decided to see who could create a website for us, and we found out that the Commission for Indigenous Population (CDI) could create it. With THP support, we now have our website, and we are currently working with them to enable the virtual store in the website.
Because of my work with THP, I am now traveling outside of Chiapas. Before, the women would do nothing if I wasn't there, but they realized that if some day THP leaves, they would stay the same. So now they are doing things by themselves: taking pictures, thinking other ways to promote their embroideries and even taking care of the legal papers of the cooperative. This is a very big transformation happening with the women.
I want to share with you that our last breakthrough is that the cooperative has its legal papers again. We are very excited because we did it ourselves. Finally, I want to tell you that you can be sure that in Chiapas we will end hunger, step by step and quickly, and yet, at the same time, with respect, dignity, trust, confidence, emotion and appreciation.
Kolabal....Gracias....Thank you.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - The recent closing of the Madison-based American TV and Appliance chain has triggered lots of emotions.
It has also triggered a legal battle that was headed toward a hearing Monday in Dane County Circuit Court.
The company has filed for receivership protection from its creditors. Its former owner and TV ad celebrity, "Crazy TV Lenny" Mattioli, has asked Judge Rhonda Lanford to clarify who would buy six Wisconsin stores that recently closed in the Madison, Milwaukee, and Appleton areas.
He wants to know if American TV's current principles would unduly benefit from the sales, which the Journal Sentinel reports to be close to $20 million.
Also, another creditor -- the St. Louis firm of Gravois Bluff -- objects to a plan to destroy many of American's business records. The receiver, Michael Polsky, has responded that many records have no value to the receivership estate and therefore should be tossed aside.
Mattioli says they might be needed in case there are tax audits. Also, Polsky has said the offers to buy the Wisconsin store sites are fair and reasonable -- and they're in the best interests of both the current American TV owners and its creditors.
11 American stores in the Upper Midwest closed earlier this month. The company said they were victims of an unforgiving economy. Almost 1,000 employees lost their jobs.

Black Bean Soup with Black Bean Salsa
This soup is simply stunning, one you'll want to make over and over again. Black beans don't have a strong flavour of their own but they do carry other flavours superbly, while at the same time yielding a unique velvety texture. If you forget to soak the beans overnight, bring them up to the boil for 10 minutes and then pre-soak them for two hours.
Serving salsa with soup makes a clever contrast of the cold refreshing textures of the vegetables and the hot lusciousness of the soup. If you're entertaining and really want to have some fun, make this soup and Tuscan White Bean Soup, which uses white cannellini beans, and serve them together with one or other of the garnishes.
All you do is re-heat both soups, then using two ladles, pour both ladlefuls into the warmed bowls simultaneously, one from the left, the other from the right. It works a treat and makes a lovely contrast.
Serves 4
This recipe is taken from Delia Smith's Winter Collection and The Delia Collection: Soup
It's best to start the soup the night before by throwing the beans into a pan and covering them with about twice their volume of cold water. Next day, drain them in a colander and rinse them under a cold running tap. Now take the saucepan and heat the olive oil. As soon as it's really hot, add the chopped pancetta and cook for about 5 minutes. Then turn the heat down to medium, stir in the onion, garlic, carrot, swede and coriander stalks and continue to cook for another 10 minutes with the lid on, stirring everything round once or twice.
While that's happening heat a small frying pan over a medium heat, then add the cumin seeds and dry roast them for 2-3 minutes until they become very aromatic, begin to change colour and start to dance in the pan. At that point remove them from the pan and crush them to a coarse powder with a pestle and mortar. Add this to the vegetables along with the drained beans, Tabasco sauce and stock (but no salt at this stage), then bring everything up to a gentle simmer for about 1½ hours with the lid on. It's very important to keep the simmer as gentle as possible, so you might need to use a heat diffuser here.
When the time is up, use a slotted spoon to remove 3 level spoonfuls of the beans, rinse and drain them in a sieve and reserve them for the salsa. Now you need to purée the soup and the best way to do this is in a liquidiser – if not, a processor and a sieve will do, or even just a sieve. When the soup is liquidised, return it to the saucepan, add the lime juice, season with salt and pepper and it's now ready for re-heating later when you want to serve it.
To make the salsa, pour boiling water over the tomatoes, leave them for 1 minute, then slip the skins off, cut them in half and gently squeeze each half in your hand to remove the seeds. After the seeds are removed, chop the tomato into small dice and place it in a bowl along with the reserved beans, the finely chopped red onion, chilli, reserved coriander leaves and the extra virgin olive oil. Then add the juice of half a lime, some salt and freshly milled black pepper and leave it aside for the flavours to mingle and be absorbed for about 1 hour.
To serve the soup, re-heat it very gently being careful not to allow it to come to the boil, as boiling always spoils the flavour of soup. Serve in warm soup bowls, adding a spoonful of crème fraîche and an equal portion of salsa sprinkled over the surface.
Any leftover soup can be frozen.

Best Washing Machines
It's not easy being clean: The average American family does about eight loads of laundry a week (400-plus per year). That's a lot of wear and tear on the washer, your clothes, and your energy bill, especially if you have an older machine. GHRI took the latest front- and top-loading models for a spin (and a wash and rinse), examining how well and gently they clean, how easy they are to use, how much they cost to run, and how thoroughly they remove water (so clothes dry quickly--stay tuned for dryer reviews next month). We tested 20 washers, including front loaders (great energy-efficient cleaners, but often pricey, high-efficiency (HE) top loaders (easy to load, with good cleaning and energy use; and regular top loaders (least expensive, but can be water-guzzling). What's new: more features, even on entry-level models

Gentle Giant
If you launder lots of fine washables, the Whirlpool Duet WFW97HEX steam washer ($1,600; NSF-certified) is a good choice its delicate cycle busted stains best. A FanFresh option tumbles and airs out a load for up to 16 hours to curb mustiness.

Projections for the next 20 years
Based on current global trends, financial, military, social, technological, etc... what are your predictions of what the next 20 years will have in store for your country, state, business, world, or all the above??
Compare what you think will happen to what you hope will happen.
The end of this conversation is drawing near. The theme of which has been very much what I thought it would be. Every one of us can pin point the problems of today that will lead us into a dismal future unless rectified. None of us here on TED has the "power" required to solve these problems. Individually we are far too powerless. Take a look at the size of this online community, there aren't very many of us. We are the people who choose to discuss, debate, and challenge each other. If our need to speak out and communicate about substantial issues was being satisfied completely in our daily lives many of us would not be registered in an online community seeking other like minded individuals who will care about the thoughts we think. An ignorant complacency has been epidemically spreading for too long and feels irreversible which makes the future seem a dark and dreary place. My optimism lies in the fact that we all get "it", we know, we understand, but in order for anything to come out of this understanding of what changes need to be made and what the end result has to be for all of us we need to buckle down and do something. I'm in no way trying to make that a personal attack statement, I don't feel as though we're all standing idly by as everything happens to us.
There were numerous comments suggesting that something big is speeding toward us, a game changer, a war, a revolution, a revelation, a...something. Whatever "it" is I just hope that we can discuss, debate, and challenge each other to become empowered individuals with answers as opposed to a list of problems.
Closing Statement from Ang Perrier
Thank you for all the contributions :)

Aug 10 2013: I was going to write something smart and deep, but then I thought of making a list of possibilities instead.
1) Current trends will continue and in 20 years Alaska will be open to oil companies, due to the fact that most western companies are barred from OPEC because of all out war against Iran, whose quest for nuclear power had gone too far.
2) Technology will advance closer to the edge of human imagination, hopefully vindicating the movie "Back to The Future"'s predictions. (Who doesn't want a hover board?)
3) More countries will become developed, forcing countries like The United States to share more resources.
4) Economic collapse, then the UN declaring all debts unpayable or forgiven, possibly causing a war with China.
5) In the event of a war, all countries will avoid using nuclear weapons. Developed countries would use nukes in order to avoid an unconditional surrender, but radical countries like North Korea and (maybe in the near future) Iran would use nukes in order to avoid any kind of defeat or surrender or maybe just to send a message to the world.
6) China will make their move. (Sounds ominous right?)
Best case scenario: None of the above occur, The World economy recovers due to years of rationing (much like America in WW2), Humanity breaks the barrier of human imagination (technically impossible), and the world's most powerful leaders congregate around a bonfire to sing "Kum Ba Yah". Hopeful, maybe, but it's a lot better to think about than any of the other possibilities.
Aug 25 2013: I rather enjoyed taking a second to picture a group of suited, uptight guys with briefcases and rolexes sitting out in the woods looking disdainfully around thinking that the other guy got the best spot, or that guy has a better chair than me all the while struggling to remember the words to Kum Ba Yah and never understanding what the meaning of it was supposed to be. lol
"China will make their move" yes very ominous. What do you think that move might be?
