Many cellulosic fuel producers are working with enzymes to break down tough, inedible plant parts, such as corncobs or switch grass, into simpler sugars that can be fermented to ethanol. Now enzyme companies say they are near to breaking down another tough obstacle: the cost of enzymes that will make the next generation of low-carbon fuels.
The progress may help put cellulosic ethanol on course to compete commercially when the first large plants open next year.
Novozymes, the world's largest industrial enzyme producer, today launched a new line it says will yield ethanol from plant wastes at an enzyme price of about 50 cents a gallon. The latest product of a decade of research, this marks an 80 percent price drop from two years ago, according to Global Marketing Director Poul Ruben Andersen.
The advances, Andersen said, will help bring cellulosic ethanol production prices to under $2 a gallon by 2011, a cost on par with both corn-based ethanol and gasoline at current U.S. market prices.
Yesterday, Novozyme's competitor, California-based Genencor, a division of enzyme giant Danisco, announced its own new enzyme product, which falls within a similar price range of about 50 cents to make a gallon of fuel, according to Philippe Lavielle, executive vice president of business development.
"What we can see now is that it's feasible to do this today. Of course, that being said, you have to bear in mind that you have to build the large-scale factories to do this," Andersen said.
That capacity, though nearer than ever, has long been a future prospect. Next year, the nation's first commercial-sized plants are expected to open their doors. Among the climate benefits experts see are that the use of corn stover and other waste products rather than corn will cut the need for fertilizer, plowing and other greenhouse gas-producing steps currently used to make ethanol.
A big-ticket necessity suddenly gets cheaper
In the United States, Novozymes is working with Poet LLC, the nation's top corn ethanol producer, which plans in 2011 to open a 25-million-gallon cellulosic plant fed with corn husks and corncobs. Over the past year, Poet has nearly halved its total production costs to $2.35 a gallon, and expects to fall below $2 by the ribbon-cutting.
"A big part of getting to our cost structure was having an enzyme company drive their costs down, as well," said Mark Stowers, Poet's vice president of research and development.
Historically, enzymes have been the most expensive component of making cellulosic fuels. A few years back, enzymes ate up more than half of the production price. This was at a time when it cost $5 to $10 to make 1 gallon of fuel -- nowhere near cheap enough to compete with even grain ethanol.
Now, the dropping enzyme costs mean they will only account for 25 percent of the production price by next year, Andersen said.
The improvements come as the enzyme makers have optimized and fine-tuned the exact cocktail needed at each stage of the process. Genencor said it has managed a threefold improvement in the efficiency of its enzyme, which means less needed per gallon of fuel.
To bring costs down, the companies have worked closely with emerging cellulosic producers such as Poet, or in Genencor's case, with a joint venture of its parent company, DuPont Danisco Cellulosic Ethanol LLC.
Another 50% price drop may come with greater production
Genencor's Lavielle cautioned that the 50-cent-per-gallon estimate for the cost of cellulosic ethanol is closely tied to the particulars and efficiencies of the production process. He said that, over the next several years, the company hopes to halve the enzyme costs again, to 20 or 30 cents a gallon of fuel.
Doing that, said Lavielle, will require larger production scales. Both Novozymes and Genencor have plans to ramp up their enzyme production in the next several years as cellulosic producers grow their demand. "I can assure you that the enzymes will not cost the same from one plant to another for quite a long time, until all these processes have shaken out," Lavielle said.
Poet is in part betting on further enzyme cost reductions to help meet its goal of cutting productions costs to $1.50 a gallon over the next five to seven years, Stowers said.
Costs will need to come down for cellulosic ethanol to compete with conventional biofuels and with petroleum without tax credits. Right now, at $1.01 a gallon, cellulosic ethanol enjoys twice the tax credit that goes to the corn-based variety.
As cellulosic ethanol comes closer to the market, technological barriers may be giving way to other obstacles that could slow its growth.
Today, until there are big changes either to the nation's fueling infrastructure or in regulations on the amount of ethanol that can go in today's car engines, there are limits on the expanded use of the fuel, regardless of the feedstock.
Cellulosic producers have, meanwhile, struggled to find capital to build the first commercial plants, which can cost upward of $100 million. And as more plants open, they face the crucial question of how to contract, collect and transport their unconventional raw materials -- which can be anything from waste wood chips to municipal trash.
"The technology is almost there. It needs to be assembled and demonstrated at the large scale. The bottlenecks are somewhere else," Lavielle said.

For the Love of Letterpress.
Fellow blogger Jordan Ferney of Oh Happy Day, alerted me to some new summer letterpress classes she's teaching here in San Francisco. This sounds like great fun! Students send in a design themselves or choose one of the designs from here a week before the class and she makes you a plate. Then, the day of the class you can print 250 of your very own letterpress cards! The class costs $125 and is held in Jordan's art studio on Valencia Street in San Francisco. Attached are a couple of cards other students have printed. The classes are: Saturday, June 27th, Saturday, July 18th, and Saturday, August 8th. More information can be found right here.

Youth volunteers help out the Northwoods Childrens Museum
Submitted: 07/19/2013
Eagle River
- Kids explore, play and create every day at the Northwoods Children's Museum in Eagle River. But that wouldn't be possible without some dedicated volunteers. And this crew, might surprise you. Before dozens of children can create arts and crafts, work needs to be done. "We start off the day with the workshop, and then we do pickup which is like a toy that is not in the right spot and we have to take it and put it back," said volunteer Nikole Bortolotti. These guys are just some of the Northwoods Children's Museum's youth volunteers. They're helping out one day a week, for 3 hours a day. "The Youth volunteers do a lot of the cleaning and prepping for the different crafts. And it helps the staff members save time by doing stuff," said program organizer Lauren Riedel. The summer program allows youth ages 10 to 14, to help out museum staff. In return they get volunteer hours and museum dollars. Abel Lifeschutz is in his 5th year of volunteering. He says he does it for the kids. "It's really beneficial because you're helping so many little kids and they always have fun, and it's really nice to see all the little kids having fun here. And that's what most people do it for," said Lifeschutz. And for some of the younger volunteers, they might have one extra reason for helping out. "It's fun. If you get here a little early, you get to play with some of the toys," said Bortolotti. The youth volunteer program continues through August 9th.

Enough already with the WTC 9/11 Festivities
Some of us want to forget
We lived in a small commuter town 10 miles from the WTC, so we were there, or nearby. I watched it unfold on a TV screen with my young daughter, wondering how to tell her that Daddy was probably dead, because nobody a block away could possibly be alive after those buildings went down. He didn't die, but we know dozens who did die—and we had to deal with the consequences.
My husband was smoking a cigarette outside the American Stock Exchange, a half-block away, when the first plane hit. He was a Floor Governor and had to stay to sweep the building of people. They were told to stay in the building, but when the second tower collapsed they were sent into the streets, running for their lives. He never was quite the same again. Curiously, he developed kidney cancer soon afterwards. He's currently pushing 60, on unemployment with no prospects—and no medical insurance.
We lost our businesses, our home, our marriage and our family. We don't want to be reminded by fresh-faced "Proud Americans" who use "Never Forget" as a "Me Too" rallying cry. We have to forget to move forward.
And, as long as I'm on the subject, where were all these breast-beaters when we needed help? I made many calls to the dozens of "Survivors of 9/11″ charities that sprung up afterwards. Every one offered me a list of referrals to other 'services' that offered me referrals to—well, you get the point.
|An armed guard poses beside pallets of $100 bills in Baghdad.
Money to bomb Iraq and Afghanistan? Yep. $12 billion to ship on pallets to Iraq to 'fund' Iraqi ministries and US contractors? Yep yep. Money for a parade to haul a hunk of steel from NYC to Milwuakee, Wisconsin (where no one died in 9/11) ? Yeppers.
Money for the living who involuntarily paid the ultimate price? Um, not so much.

Before the Band Perry, Reid and Neil Played Roadies to Kimberly
Sibling trio the Band Perry has seen loads of success over the past years, but before the band started, younger brothers Reid and Neil played a much different role. While Kimberly was still the blonde-haired beauty performing on stage, her brothers acted as roadies to their big sister.
Neil recently told Big Machine Records, "I was 8, Reid was 10, and Kimberly started her band and she needed roadies, so Reid and I, we said 'You know, we'll help you out for a little bit.'"
When sharing that funny tidbit, Kimberly adamantly insisted that her brothers were paid, while Reid and Neil laughed and denied any payment during their role as roadies. You have to admit, these close siblings are even adorable when they disagree.
After two weeks as hard-working helpers, Kimberly recalls, "…they caught the band fever themselves and so, like Neil said… they started their own little rock-n-roll band and they had this adorable little lead singer and keyboard player, and electric guitar player and their band would open for me and my guys all over the southeast."
Fortunately for their dedicated fans, the Band Perry officially began soon after the siblings started traveling together. Kimberly jokingly recalls that it happened "when all of our heights kind of evened up." We're glad Reid and Neil caught up to their sister so that they could bring us great music such as their latest single, 'Better Dig Two.'

Alcohol and excessive speed are believed to be factors in a deadly crash Friday night in South Jeffco, according to the Colorado State Patrol.
Brady Kraft, 21, of Morrison and Steven Senter, 23, of Lakewood were killed about 10 p.m. Jan. 11 when the 2000 Lincoln Continental they were traveling in went out of control after hitting a raised concrete median just south of West Belleview Avenue while heading south on South Kipling Street. The car ran off the right side of the road, hit a signal light pole and burst into flames. Kraft was driving.

On the Christmas we moved from our house in Bridgewater to Stow, I asked my daughter to give us two collage frames so that I could showcase some of the many family photos we inherited. It has taken me nearly three years to get it accomplished. Some needed to be vertical, some horizontal. Some had to be enlarged; some cut. Then, I saw the perfect collage frame that said "Family". Yikes. Then, I had another grandchild born. More photos for the collage. Sigh.
You get the picture, right? Well, today I finally got the photos in the frames. Hubs is trying to get them hung up this weekend. I suspect that I need one more for the wall. I'm not telling him that, well at least not yet.
When I first had access to a scanner and a computer with photo editing software, my friend and I tried to scan and eliminate the yellow from some of my 1950s photos. I have finally edited as many as I think I will ever need. But, this past week, I found one of my favorites in the wrong envelope. I immediately scanned it. It was one of the same photos but was black and white.
It looks so old. Dad looks so young. My parents living room has furniture I don't remember. The moral to the story is that sometimes, you just have to stop researching and work on the story of your own life.
We are half way through the month of October. When the holidays start up, time seems to disappear.
I wish I could sit in Dad's lap and just read. He died sitting in a comfortable chair in the very spot in this photo.
He would be happy that I have spent most of this year working on the story of his parents. I now know so much more about my Scot ancestors. I think about how pleased he would be at the progress I have made.
Feeling sentimental.

Board Sends Decision To Faculty
Asks Faculty To Have Patience
In the Bethel College Faculty Meeting held December 5, 1967, Dr.
Lundquist read to the faculty the following Statement from the Board
of Education:
. . The Board of Education shares the faculty's appreciation
of the many excellent characteristics of Dr. Robert Sandin and is
impressed by the high regard that the faculty has for 'him. It deeply
appreciates the extended faculty involvement in its consideration of
a dean. Nevertheless, the Board of Education senses adverse Confer-ence-
wide implications in this appointment and believes it wise not
to turn to Dr. Sandin as dean of the college at this time and trusts
that the faculty will have patience with its judgement. In the mean-time,
the Executive Commitee is asked to meet and come back to
the Board with a recommendation concerning the college deanship."

hazards such as misquoting
individuals, is really fit to be ed-itor.
So, too, it is with regret
that having been editor and feel-ing
that I have finally risen
above the energetic excitement,
that I must relinquish my post.
There is an old joke told about
foreign missionaries that is fit-ting
to the occasion. New mis-sionaries
are rather persnickety
about removing from their tea
all the bugs and extraneous ma-terial
common to the East. By
the second term, they lustily
down the whole with little dis-crimination
for such things. But
when missionaries are seen add-ing
to their tea such things as
bugs, sticks, paper, and other
such spices, one knows it is time
for them to retire.
Very sincerely,

Charles Baudelaire
Often, for pastime, mariners will ensnare
The albatross, that vast sea-bird who sweeps
On high companionable pinion where
Their vessel glides upon the bitter deeps.
Torn from his native space, this captive king
Flounders upon the deck in stricken pride,
And pitiably lets his great white wing
Drag like a heavy paddle at his side.
This rider of the winds, how awkward he is, and weak!
How droll he seems, who lately was all grace!
A sailor pokes a pipestem into his beak;
Another, hobbling, mocks his trammeled pace.
The Poet is like this monarch of the clouds,
Familiar of storms, of stars, and of all high things;
Exiled on earth amidst its hooting crowds,
He cannot walk, borne down by his giant wings.

Page 2 the CLARION Thursday, January 11, 1968 Editor Reflects On Year Of CLARION Job
Obsession For Unity
Threatens Conference
The early history of the Conference is largely the story
of a homogeneous group of Swedish immigrants that shared
enough in common to form an intimate religious fellowship.
This unity was a natural unity issuing out of not only similar
religious persuasions, but also a wealth of cultural similari-ties.
Today the Conference is quite another organization corn-posed
of diverse cultural elements (the majority of them
non-Swedish) as well as a wide spectrum of religious con-viction.
Yet the Conference is trying to preserve a facade
of unity in the face of seriously divisive issues. This is an
unnatural unity, the persistence of which is seriously under-mining
the strength of the Conference.
In the federal aid issue in Duluth last summer, the Con-ference
voted to reject federal aid, not so much because
it was incompatible with Conference feeling as a whole but
because a vociferous minority threatened to leave the Confer-ence
rolls if the aid was accepted. Acquiescing in the face of
these threats, many of the neutral delegates, to preserve the
traditional unity of the Conference, voted against the aid
(which really became a vote for unity, not against federal aid
as such.)
Most recently, this phenomenon was seen at work in
the rejection of Dr. Robert Sandin as dean for the college.
The decision was made on the part of district representa-tives
who met together in Chicago to hear the business pre-sented
by .Dr. Lundquist. A minority group of ultra-conserva-tives
were able, by questionable methods based more on fic-tion
than fact, to deter the majority of the delegates from
passing Sandin's approval. The decision was made not in
deference to the college—for its good or detriment—but to
pacify an unruly, irresponsible minority. All this in the name
of unity.
First of all, it is against the very distinctives that make
us Baptists to succumb to this kind of government. The Bap-tist
tradition is a democratic one that is proud of its provision
for independent, objective decisions in face of the facts. We are
undermining our very strength when the Conference persists
in facing issues in this manner.
This obsession for pseudo-unity will be the death of the
Conference because it impedes deliberate action at nearly every
point. For the Conference to go on in a vital ministry, it must
make decisions every day that will determine what it will be
tomorrow. As long as the leadership conceives of the Confer-ence
in terms of what it was yesterday, neither the college, nor
foreign missions, nor home missions, nor any of the other
ministries conducted by the Conference will be at 'their sharp-est
cutting edge'.
Whereas the strength of the Conference at one time
was in its intimate fellowship within a cultural framework,
today it must find its strength in its diversity. It can do that
by taking an aggressive, positive stand for what it knows as
right, and if need be, dispensing with the fellowship of some
of the members of the Conference if that is the only remain-ing
It is interesting to note further that those who know least
about these cases are the ones who have influenced the deci-sions
most heavily. Martin Buber once said that "Hate is blind".
Why allow the blind to lead those who have good sight?
Sandin Affair Creates
A Legion Of Difficulties
The recent news that Dr. Sandin will not be coming to
Bethel as dean is a setback of major proportions. The CLARION
cannot allow this vital issue to go by without comment. Even
more than the negative decision on federal aid, this will af-fect
the progress of the school toward excellence.
First of all, the decision will inevitably have disastrous ef-fects
on the color and shape of the faculty. It can be expected
that those who remained at Bethel with the hope that Dr.
Sandin would come to the campus will now decide to leave
the school. Furthermore, those who were thinking of coming
to the college with the prospect of Sandin's coming will no
longer consider Bethel as an alternative.
This will in turn affect the kinds of students that Bethel
will attract. If this is an academic blow to the campus (which
it certainly is) than Bethel cannot expect to attract students
who have high academic credentials, and mature academic as-pirations.
This event is going to make it difficult for the faculty to
accept a second choice for dean. This unfortunate wake is go-ing
to cause some tension personally to whoever is mantelled
with the deanship next year. Such tensions militate against
the establishment of a solid academic program.
Finally, the rejection of Dr. Sandin has set in motion an
inertia in the Conference which will not be easily halted. The
effects of this decision, coupled with the federal aid issue will
be a serious impediment to the growth of the school in most
every respect.
Dear Readers:
Having served now as editor

it is with some relief that I ap-proach
the end of my responsi-bility.

rises not only from my experi

I have examined the roles of col-lege
papers across the nation.
It is becoming increasingly
true that peer groups are adopt-ing
homogeneuous listening pat-terns;
that is they are turning
increasingly to others of their
own generation for questions
and answers to life today here

potential of becoming one of
America's most serious prob-lems,

that is designed to send this gen-eration
outside of itself and its
peers in a quest for reality to-day.
I pass on to my successor a
responsibility that he has not
yet begun to fathom, and will
probably only realize, as I have,

Surging Christian Services Activities SPIRE Staves Off Publication
Thrive Under Leadership Of Learns To Include Broader Coverage
The Bethel Gospel team pro-gram
for the first semester of
1967-68 is involving a near record
of students.
While some evaluators would
be quick to say that the amount
of student participation in this
area of campus life provides a
reliable reading of the campus'
spiritual condition, and thus,
that the campus is presently ex-periencing
an elevated condition,
may be a hasty conclusion.
In actuality, active participation
of students in gospel team work
may be the manifestation, large-ly,
of an efficient program admin-istrator
behind its program.
Such a statement is in no way
to de-value the vital elements
of Christian enthusiasm and fer-vor
in gospel team work, yet,
at the same time, it must be
recognized that no amount of
these qualities alone can guar-antee
the success of the pro-gram.
Thus, the weakness of
past Christian Service programs
may, in some sense, be attribu-ted
to inadequate organization,
and not, as has been implied, to
the frailty of the student's spir-itual

of efficient organization in a pro-gram's
success is Bill Ledkins,

team services sent to all church-es
in a 300-mile radius of the
campus. Five types of services
are outlined in this letter. These
include: 1) Deeper Life; 2) Evan-gelical;
3) Sacred Music; 4) Mis-sionary;
and 5) Youth Emphasis.
While students are encouraged
to form permanent teams with
which to work during the whole
year, generally, new combinations
of speakers and music groups are

Team combinations are
made up in the following way:
The music department maintains
a ready list of all available vocal-ists
and instrumentalists. When
Bill receives from a church a re-quest
for a gospel team, he first
issues this request to the music
department representatives.
They, in turn, fill the particular
assignment with musicians, and
Bill, from a list of available speak-ers,
coordinates a speaker with
them. In addition, Bill sends two
confirmations of the gospel team
selection to the receiving church.

day before the team deputate, it
meets together with Bill for prayer
and last-minute instructions.
The biggest ministry of gospel
team work is with church con-gregations
and youth organiza-tions.
Bill finds that the great-est
number of requests come
for the Deeper Life type of serv-ice
with the sacred music type
of service falling second in de-mand.
There is also a great deal
of overlap here as requests for
deeper life services are many
times used for youth emphasis
In numbers, the gospel team
work at Bethel has already in-volved
160 students and has served
more than 80 different churches.
On the basis of follow-up commun-ication
with these church, Bill has
found the gospel team work to

RE: Sports Editorial in the December 8 Clarion
The editorial you wrote in the Dec. 8 issue of the Clarion

incorrect and poorly presented and if they should reach Augs-burg
College it could cause a real breach in our athletic rela-tionships.
Our athletic program is not based upon reactionary
principles or people. This type of editorial can be classified as
"bush league" or "hot dog" writing.
Augsburg College athletics are highly respectable and com-petitive.
We are proud of the victory our squad won and don't
feel like spoiling it with a cheap editorial. The right to write
and speak is necessary, but with it comes responsibility and
There was some confusion in the scheduling which was
taken care of on the phone Monday. We play Augsburg Col-lege

if at all possible. We also plan on a continuing athletic interest
with Augsburg College without the petty grievances stated in
your editorial.
Any statements of this nature should be cleared through
our department and cannot be based on false rumor. We soli-cit
your continued support but do not need your sympathy or

Kennedy publishes article on television and American politics
On this day in 1959, an article written by Massachusetts senator and presidential hopeful John F. Kennedy appears in an issue of TV Guide. In it, Kennedy examined the influence of television, still a relatively new technology, on American political campaigns.
In the article, Kennedy mused that television had the power to bring political campaigns—and scandals—immediately and directly to the public and illuminated the contrast between political personalities. Kennedy shrewdly noted that a "slick or bombastic orator pounding the table and ringing the rafters" fared poorly against a more congenial candidate and "is not as welcome in the family living room" as a candidate with "honesty, vigor, compassion [and] intelligence." Kennedy strove to convey the latter image. He also compared Woodrow Wilson's 1919 month-long cross-country railroad trek to promote his League of Nations proposal (an exhausting trip that ended when Wilson suffered a stroke) to then-President Eisenhower's ability to reach millions of voters in a 15-minute television appearance.
A year after the publication of the article, Kennedy and his Republican opponent, Vice President Richard Nixon, faced off in the nation's first-ever televised presidential campaign debates. A master at projecting the quintessential presidential image, Kennedy exhibited a calm demeanor and responded to questions with intelligence and decorum. While Kennedy appeared rested, well-groomed and in control, Nixon appeared flustered and his light beard, or "five-o'clock shadow," created more of a stir than his responses to the moderator's questions. As president, Kennedy continued to showcase his skill at handling the press on-camera and carefully cultivated a relationship with journalists by enlisting their direct involvement in balancing candor with secrecy.
Kennedy's article also addressed the potential perils of marrying mass media to politics. He warned that political campaigns "could be taken over by public relations experts, who tell the candidate not only how to use TV but what to say, what to stand for and what kind of person to be." He cautioned Americans to be vigilant about what they watched, and to be aware that, like game shows, political campaigns "can be fixed…It is in your power to perceive deception, to shut off gimmickry, to reward honesty, to demand legislation where needed." Without the public's acquiescence, he said, "no TV show is worthwhile and no politician can exist."

If it doesn't fit, you must acquit.
That 19-year-old mantra from the late Johnnie Cochran perfectly captures the spirit of the American criminal justice system, which skews toward letting the guilty go free over imprisoning the innocent, via a ridiculously high standard of proof beyond a reasonable doubt.
That principle made Wednesday's acquittal of three men charged with stabbing Steelers tackle Mike Adams a no brainer. And that's indeed what happened.
Two vastly different versions emerged at trial, with Adam claiming the men stabbed him in a carjacking attempt and the defense claiming Adams was drunk and loud and started a fight. With Adams' blood-alcohol content measured at 0.185 percent, it becomes difficult if not impossible for a jury to buy his story strongly enough to overcome the very high reasonable doubt standard.
One of the men was convicted of escape and another was convicted of flight to avoid apprehension. None were found guilty of the far more serious crimes of attempted murder and aggravated assault.
The defense argued that Adams lied about the incident to stay out of trouble with the team. It'll be interesting to see whether the ultimate outcome creates any issues for him with the Steelers. He's entering the third year of a four-year contract signed in 2012.

This morning, snow is glistening in a miniature Christmas village. I have coveted vintage glitter houses from afar in past Decembers, and this year with all these great resources I couldn't pass up the chance to make my own. These are all constructed from cereal boxes using patterns found online and some drafted by my brother (he and my dad helped me cut them out too - thanks guys!). They all have mica flake rooftops, vellum window panes, and acrylic painted siding with a fine dust of white glitter. The door of the church is silvery with German glass glitter and a few houses have homemade pipe cleaner wreaths.Of course every glitter village needs a forest of bottlebrush trees. These were formerly dark green trees from the bargain store until I bleached, dyed and decorated them. To their bristles I added glitter and mica snow, mini plastic ornaments and pearly beads. My method was very imprecise but this tutorial has really detailed instructions of the process for those interested.
I also found a bottle brush wreath on sale for a few dollars and I couldn't resist. I gave it a new ribbon and swapped out some of the smaller plastic ornaments for miniature glass ones from a few years ago.
I hope you've enjoyed this little tour. I have just a few more things to share later this afternoon but until then, best wishes to you and yours!

How beautiful! You've totally inspired me to save the little cardboard village I made last year (that sadly didn't survive storage) to use as a template to make a sturdier village.

I have to know - how did you make the pipe cleaner wreaths??
- November 15, 2010 at 12:52 PM
- Livy said...
Pipe Cleaner Wreath:
I twisted a pipe cleaner about itself to make it a little thicker. Then I formed it into a circle by twisting it around a marker or pencil (depending on desired size). I glued a bow over the place where the ends meet.

text: The Latest on the Food Labeling Debate July 19, 2013 10:48 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Farm Journal Editors Email The following information is a Web Extra from the pages of Farm Journal. It corresponds with the article "The Trait Debate." You can find the article in Farm Journal's 2013 Seed Guide. Farmers Say 'No' to Labeling GMOs A recent Farm Journal Pulse poll found that most farmers think that labeling foods made from genetically modified crops is unnecessary. Love them or hate them, one this is for certain: GMOs have easily become one of the most divisive topics in the world of food production. Recent consumer backlash against genetically modified crops has caused lawmakers to consider mandatory labels on foods containing GMOs. The U.S. Senate voted down a farm bill amendment that would have required GMO food labels, but Connecticut and Maine have passed statewide GMO-labeling laws, and others may soon follow suit. Consumers have made their voices heard regarding GMOs. So where does that leave farmers and others in the ag industry? According to a recent Farm Journal Pulse, most farmers disagree with consumers. In fact, 65% of respondents said GMO foods should not be labeled. View the results: "This is a case where government interventions could actually do more harm than good," says Matt Bogard, an ag economist at Western Kentucky University and an AgWeb blogger. He argues that biotech crops could actually reduce consumer health risks by limiting exposure to pesticides. "Labels help consumers concerned about fat and sodium make healthy choices," he says. "However, sensational 'GMO' labels could be misguiding and lead consumers to actually make choices that are either worse for them, the health of producers or the environment." For More Information Here are some other stories that look at the GM-food labeling issue: Is Organic Agriculture 'Affluent Narcissism? As can be seen from the popularity of rip-off artists like Whole Foods markets, organic foods are popular. The U.S. market for organic produce alone was $12.4 billion last year.

Try to Make an Ant Get Lost
Ants, like spiders, rodents, and humans, keep track of where they are, where they're going, and how to get there. They remember the turns they take, as well as the uphills and downhills, as they cross an area.
You Will Need
• Ant bait: a jar lid with sugar water, maple syrup, honey, or jam
• An obstruction: an object to block the path of the ants. Try a book, pieces of wood, or a stack of building blocks. (Your purpose is to see if ants can find their way after meeting your obstruction, not to keep them from going over it.)
• A stopwatch or a watch with a second hand
• A ruler
Here's How
1. Find ants. In cool or warm weather, you should be able to find ants in the wild and do the experiment where they are. You don't need to capture them. Just follow them and figure out where they're going. Determine their starting point (probably the anthill) and their destination (probably a food source). If you can't find ants, or if it's winter, use ants from an ant farm.
2. Set the bait. Note what the ants do. Do they approach the bait, investigate it, and go away to find the other ants and let them know? This is the pattern that ants usually follow. Try to observe it. Follow the ants that go away, and find out what they do.
3. Watch your ants closely. Take pictures or video to add to your data. Then find the anthill. You will want to map this area, so take careful measurements. You might consider drawing a chalk line behind an ant to trace its path back and forth from the anthill to the bait.
4. Once your ants have oriented themselves and have created a path to the bait, see if you can time one ant in its unobstructed path from anthill to bait.
5. Clock their movements. You have drawn ants to your bait, and these ants have taken the information about your bait's location back to their anthill and left a scent trail for their colony to follow. Now put up your obstruction. Observe what the ants do. Again, try to trace the path of one ant, and time it to see how long it takes for it to go from the anthill to the food source. Time how long it takes for the ant to cross the obstruction.
6. Analyze the ants. Carefully note what they do when they reach the ground again after crossing the obstruction. Do they seem confused? Do they go the wrong way? How long does it take them to figure out the right way? Do your ants eventually learn the new path over the obstruction?
7. Now, remove the obstruction. Carefully note what happens!
All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Science with Mrs. Suggs
If you ask enough good questions, you may eventually find the best answer.

There was an article today in the Toronto Star about Hollaback Canada, and about the wider issue of when it is and is not appropriate to ogle people on the street1. The article was titled "When does looking become a leer?", and touches on something I started writing months ago, and never finished. First, though, if you are a woman in Canada, I would recommend that you bookmark Hollaback Canada, and next time you're sexually harassed send in a submission to shame your harasser. If you're in New York City, visit Hollaback NYC, and if you're elsewhere look for a Hollaback site linked from there. If there is no Hollaback site for your city or region, start your own!
One of the difficulties many men have with feminism seems to be a perceived attack on their sexuality. For instance, men who consider pornography an intrinsic part of male sexuality are likely to get pissed off when someone asserts that porn is wrong as a rule. On an even more extreme angle, some believe that fantasies involving rape, pedophilia or bestiality are perfectly okay, and that anyone who tries to suppress these "perfectly normal" urges is denying them an essential part of their sexuality.
What I want to examine is a milder, but similar, issue. The question I want to ask is: where is the line between sexual objectification and aesthetic appreciation? Somewhere along the continuum from sexual repression to sexual overtness, I feel, there must be an acceptable middle ground. It should be obvious that, at one extreme, externalizing every little sexual impulse we have by yelling "hey baby" at women we pass on the street is wrong. At the other extreme, completely denying our own sexualities2 by refusing to look directly at women is unhealthy. Is there some middle ground where we can acknowledge our own sexualities without contributing to the environment of oppression and abuse of women that we live in? Is this continuum perhaps flawed in some meaningful way?
Here's where I'm coming from: I am sexually active, in a committed relationship, and I enjoy looking at people I consider beautiful. However, I have a great dislike of making others uncomfortable, and I know that being checked out by a stranger does make many people uncomfortable. When I do look at someone in a sexual way I don't (I think) do it in an objectifying way: I take care to not look at them as a sexual object, there for my enjoyment, but I do take advantage of the fact that they have certain sexual characteristics that happen to be where I can (visually) enjoy them.
So whenever I do feel like taking an eyeful of someone I am conscious not only of how I look at them and what I am thinking, but also of how I might be making them feel. I generally wait until they will not notice me looking, or else look away quickly. I also make an effort to keep other people in the area from feeling uncomfortable at having an ogler in their midst: I don't want someone to think "ugh, that creep is staring at that person over there -- will he be staring at me if I turn my back?"
So I go to all this trouble to reassure myself that my looking at someone isn't misinterpreted as lechery and objectification. One might ask: is it really wrong to look at someone one finds attractive, intriguing or whatever? Well, yes and no. Or rather, it can be. The important thing is, as it often is, to take into account the feelings and reactions of everyone involved and to remember that, as in any social interaction, both parties are participating.
I spend a fair amount of time watching people watching people3, and a few things occur to me as ways to differentiate looking and leering, ogling and appreciation. I find it least offensive when the observer:
- engages the other person. Rather than staring at a woman's chest or rear as she walks by, it can be less threatening -- and certainly less gross -- when a guy looks her in the eyes and smiles a bit. This acknowledges her part as a conscious participant in the interaction (note that saying or doing something for the sole purpose of getting a reaction is not engaging someone meaningfully). Where this gets a little creepy is if the smile is too intense, or lasts too long (see point 2). The observer has to use his discretion and remain aware that the other person has feelings about the interaction, too.
- doesn't linger. Without reciprocation, a short glance is about the limit of respectfulness in most of North America. Beyond that we're in the realm of staring, which is not only rude, but can send an "I might be dangerous" signal. I've seen people give a quick little smile, and I've seen people grin uncontrolledly. The second is creepy. The first can be kinda hot.
- makes no imposition. In general, any speech falls into the category of imposition. Really, there's no way to verbalize "I find you attractive" to a stranger that doesn't come across as creepy or worse. This is doubly true of actions such as standing in someone's way and forcing them to walk around you, and actually having the nerve to touch them is right off the chart.
- has no expectations. Here's the punchline, which a lot of people seem to ignore. Nobody is going to sleep with you because you looked them up and down on the street. No woman has ever been suddenly filled with a desire to sleep with a man who leaned out of his car and yelled something incoherent at her. And, perhaps barring the stupidest of the stupid, no man has ever thought she would. When it comes down to it, this sort of behaviour is not an expression of sexual desire, but of dominance. The only times I've seen people act respectfully while looking at others like this is when there is no implied expectation that something more might, or ought to, happen.
It is true that when someone gets dressed up to look nice, they are often pleased when they get some attention in exchange. Even if they haven't put any effort into it (or perhaps especially so!) it can be nice to notice that someone has checked you out. But at some point when the checking out is persistent, lewd or otherwise inappropriate, it crosses the line to harassment.
So here's where I'd like to hear from people. What, to you, is the line between looking and leering? What should one bear in mind, what should one take into consideration?
1 Thanks to HBCanada for the tip-off. You can also read some asshole's response, sent anonymously from a throwaway Hotmail account. I really don't feel like going through this email line by line and pointing out exactly what's wrong with its "if women don't want to be harassed they shouldn't dress like sluts" rape-apologist reasoning. Perhaps another time.
2 Note that here I am specifically referring to men who are sexually attracted to women; the dynamics of objectification among gay men are very different.
3 I used to like sitting in public places and watching people go by. At some point I discovered that it could be much more amusing to watch other people as they watch people go by.

Wild Move AHL Team From Houston To Des Moines
ST. PAUL, Minn. -- The Minnesota Wild are moving their primary minor league team to Iowa.
The Wild made the long-anticipated announcement Thursday that their American Hockey League affiliate will relocate from Houston to Des Moines, starting next season.
Wild chief operating officer Matt Majka says the organization was unable to agree on terms of a new arena lease at the Toyota Center in Houston. The Aeros have been the Wild's top minor league club in the 30-team AHL since 2001.
Des Moines is about a 3½-hour drive from the Twin Cities.
