OILSEEDS: U.S. oilseed production for 2011/12 is projected at 91.7 million tons, down 4.7 million from
last month. Soybean, canola, and sunflowerseed production are all projected lower. Soybean supplies
for 2011/12 are reduced as lower forecast production is only partly offset by higher beginning stocks.
Soybean production for 2011/12 is projected at 3.056 billion bushels, down 169 million due to lower
harvested area and yields. Harvested area is projected at 73.8 million acres, down 0.5 million (using
rounded data) mainly reflecting reductions for South Dakota. The first survey-based yield forecast of
41.4 bushels per acre is 2.0 bushels below last month=s trend yield projection and 2.1 bushels below last
year=s yield. Soybean ending stocks are projected at 155 million bushels, down 20 million from July as
reduced supplies are only partly offset by reduced exports and crush. Soybean exports are reduced 95
million bushels to 1.4 billion mainly due to the lower crop and increased projected supplies in South
America this fall. Soybean crush is reduced 20 million bushels on lower domestic soybean meal use.
U.S. changes for 2010/11 include reduced soybean crush and exports and increased ending stocks.
Crush is reduced 5 million bushels to 1.645 billion reflecting reduced soybean meal exports. Soybean
exports are reduced 25 million bushels to 1.495 billion reflecting lower-than-expected shipments in recent
weeks. Soybean ending stocks are projected at 230 million bushels, up 30 million from last month.
Soybean and product prices for 2011/12 are all higher this month. The U.S. season-average soybean
price is projected at $12.50 to $14.50 per bushel, up 50 cents on both ends of the range. Soybean meal
prices are projected at $355 to $385 per short ton, up $10.00 on both ends of the range. Soybean oil
prices are projected at 54.5 to 58.5 cents per pound, up 0.5 cents on both ends of the range.
Global oilseed production for 2011/12 is projected at 451.4 million tons, down 4.1 million tons from last
month mostly due to a reduction in the U.S. soybean crop. Reductions for soybeans, rapeseed, and
cottonseed are only partly offset by increased sunflowerseed and peanut production. Lower soybean
production is projected for the United States, China, and Ukraine. China's production is projected at 14
million tons, down 0.3 million due to reduced harvested area. Brazil=s soybean production is projected at
73.5 million tons, up 1 million due to higher expected yield. Production for Brazil's 2010/11 crop is also
raised this month to a record 75.5 million tons based on record yields. Rapeseed production is reduced
for Ukraine and Belarus reflecting lower yield prospects for both countries. Other changes include higher
sunflowerseed production for EU-27, higher rapeseed production for Australia, higher peanut production
for China, and lower cottonseed production for Brazil.
WHEAT: U.S. wheat supplies for 2011/12 are lowered 30 million bushels this month as higher forecast
winter wheat production is more than offset by lower area and production for durum and other spring
wheat. Total use for 2011/12 is lowered 30 million bushels with a reduced outlook for exports more than
offsetting an increase in expected feed and residual use. Exports are projected down 50 million bushels
with increased competition, particularly from FSU-12 countries, where production prospects are raised.
Projected feed and residual use is raised 20 million bushels, reflecting a continuation of competitive
prices for feed-quality wheat and lower projected corn supplies. Ending stocks are nearly unchanged.
The 2011/12 season-average farm price for all wheat is projected at $7.00 to $8.20 per bushel, up from
last month's range of $6.60 to $8.00 per bushel supported by higher projected prices for corn.
Small changes are made to 2009/10 and 2010/11 supplies and usage reflecting the latest revisions to
trade estimates from the U.S. Bureau of Census. These revisions result in adjustments to feed and
residual use in both years.
Global wheat supplies for 2011/12 are projected 11.4 million tons higher with higher beginning stocks
and a sharp increase in production. World wheat production for 2011/12 is raised 9.7 million tons with
increases in FSU-12, India, China, and EU-27 more than offsetting a reduction for Argentina. Russia
production for 2011/12 is raised 3.0 million tons on harvest reports for winter wheat and continued
favorable weather in most of the country's spring wheat areas. Ukraine production is increased 3.0
million tons on higher-than-expected yields; however, heavy rains during harvest have reduced this
year's crop quality. Kazakhstan production is increased 1.0 million tons on abundant spring and early
summer rainfall. India wheat production is up 1.9 million tons based on the latest official government
estimates. China production is raised 1.5 million tons based on the latest official government indications.
Production is increased 1.4 million tons for EU-27 with increases for France, Romania, and Bulgaria.
Harvest results from France indicate yields were hurt less by prolonged spring dryness than early reports
had suggested. Partly offsetting is a 1.5-million-ton reduction in expected production for Argentina as the
latest planting progress reports suggest less acreage increase this year.
The 2011/12 outlook for world wheat trade and consumption this month is shaped by growing supplies of
wheat, especially in FSU-12 and EU-27, and tighter supplies of corn in the United States. Imports are
raised 3.0 million tons with increases for South Korea, Algeria, Indonesia, Syria, and Kenya. World
wheat feeding is increased 4.9 million tons with higher expected feeding in EU-27, China, Canada, South
Korea, and the United States. Exports are raised 4.0 million tons for Russia and 1.5 million tons for
Ukraine, more than offsetting reductions of 1.5 million tons for Argentina, 1.4 million tons for the United
States, and 1.0 million tons for Canada. World wheat ending stocks for 2011/12 are projected 6.7 million
tons higher at 188.9 million tons. Stocks are expected to decline slightly from 2010/11 with higher usage,
but remain 62.9 million tons above their recent low in 2007/08.
COARSE GRAINS: U.S. feed grain supplies for 2011/12 are projected lower this month with sharp
drops in forecast corn and sorghum production. Corn production for 2011/12 is forecast 556 million
bushels lower with a reduction in harvested area and lower expected yields. The national average yield
is forecast at 153.0 bushels per acre, down 5.7 bushels from last month's projection as unusually high
temperatures and below average precipitation during July across much of the Corn Belt sharply reduced
yield prospects.
Total projected corn use for 2011/12 is reduced 340 million bushels. Feed and residual use is projected
150 million bushels lower reflecting the smaller crop and higher expected prices. Corn use for ethanol is
projected 50 million bushels lower with tighter supplies and lower forecast gasoline consumption for 2011
and 2012. Projected corn exports for 2011/12 are reduced 150 million bushels with wheat feeding
expected to increase. Ending stocks are projected 156 million bushels lower at 714 million. The stocksto-
use ratio is projected at 5.4 percent, compared with last month's projection of 6.4 percent. The
season-average farm price is projected at $6.20 to $7.20 per bushel, up 70 cents on each end of the
Other significant 2011/12 feed grain changes include a sharp reduction in the forecast sorghum yield and
production with prolonged drought and excessive heat in the central and southern Plains. Sorghum
exports are projected 20 million bushels lower. Domestic use is also projected lower with a 10-millionbushel
reduction in food, seed, and industrial use and a 25-million-bushel reduction in feed and residual
Small changes are made to 2009/10 feed grain supplies and usage reflecting the latest revisions to trade
estimates from the U.S. Bureau of Census and revisions for 2010 calendar year ethanol production from
the Energy Information Administration. Estimated feed and residual use for 2009/10 is adjusted based
on these revisions.
Global coarse grain supplies for 2011/12 are projected lower with a 3.6-million-ton increase in beginning
stocks more than offset by a 14.0-million-ton reduction in output. The decline in global production is
driven by reduced corn and sorghum production in the United States with foreign corn, barley, and oats
production all expected higher. Corn production is raised for Brazil, Ukraine, and EU-27, but lowered for
Egypt. Barley production is raised for Ukraine and Argentina, but lowered for EU-27. World oats
production is raised slightly with an increase for EU-27. World rye production is reduced with a smaller
expected crop for EU-27.
Global coarse grain exports for 2011/12 are lowered slightly as reduced U.S. corn and sorghum exports
are mostly offset by higher expected foreign corn and barley shipments. Corn exports are increased 1.0
million tons for Ukraine, 0.5 million tons for Argentina, and 0.5 million tons for Canada making up more
than half of the reduction in U.S. exports. Barley exports are increased 0.7 million tons for Ukraine, 0.5
million tons for EU-27, and 0.4 million tons for Argentina with the bulk of those increases to Saudi Arabia.
Global coarse grain consumption is projected down 8.4 million tons with most of this resulting from lower
world corn feed and residual use. More than half of the reduction is from lower corn and sorghum feed
and residual use in the United States. Corn feeding in lowered for EU-27, Canada, and South Korea as
rising supplies of competitively priced feed quality wheat displace corn usage. World corn ending stocks
are projected down 1.1 million tons with increases for Brazil and EU-27 mostly offsetting the U.S.
SUGAR: Projected U.S. sugar supply for fiscal year 2011/12 is increased 68,000 short tons, raw value,
from last month due to higher beginning stocks more than offsetting lower production and imports.
Production is lowered 80,000 tons, mainly due to lower-than-expected forecast yields for U.S. sugarbeets
and Louisiana sugarcane. Imports are decreased 110,000 tons as lower imports from Mexico more than
offset increased tariff rate quota imports. Total 2011/12 U.S. sugar use is unchanged. For 2010/11,
ending stocks are increased 258,000 tons, mainly due to higher imports from Mexico which reflect
corrected import data for June and a stronger-than-expected pace for the rest of the fiscal year.
For Mexico, reduced 2011/12 supplies lead to a reduction in exports of 205,000 metric tons, raw value,
as domestic use and ending stocks are unchanged. Beginning stocks, decreased 285,000 tons to reflect
changes made to prior year estimates, are partially offset by 80,000 tons of quota imports shifted from
2010/11 to 2011/12.
LIVESTOCK, POULTRY, AND DAIRY: Small changes are made to the 2011 forecast of total red meat
and poultry production. Beef production is reduced slightly. Although fed cattle slaughter is raised to
reflect the large number of cattle placed in feedlots during the second quarter due to drought in the
Southern Plains, second-half carcass weights have been reduced. The pork production forecast is
lowered due to the expected short-term effect of recent hot, humid weather on third-quarter hog weights.
For the year, broiler production is unchanged from last month. Production in June was higher than
expected which offsets a sharper expected decline in second-half production. Turkey production is
raised as higher forecast turkey prices are expected to moderate the expected decline in second-half
production. The egg production forecast is reduced slightly from last month.
For 2012, beef production is reduced due to slower carcass weight growth and slightly lower later year
slaughter. Higher feed prices are expected to slow the pace of later year marketings as cattle are kept
on forage longer. Pork production is lowered as tight feed supplies pressure hog weights. Broiler
production is forecast lower as the stronger second-half production declines carry into the first part of
2012. Turkey production is expected to grow more slowly as higher feed prices partly offset higher
turkey prices. Egg production is reduced from last month on higher feed prices.
Beef imports are forecast higher in 2011 as demand for processing meat remains relatively strong. Beef
exports are raised for both 2011 and 2012. A favorable exchange rate is expected to support exports to
a number of countries. Likewise, pork export forecasts are raised for both 2011 and 2012. A favorable
exchange rate and relatively strong demand for pork in Asia are expected to boost exports. U.S. pork
imports are reduced slightly in both years. No change is made to broiler exports for either 2011 or 2012
but turkey exports in 2011 are expected to be slightly stronger.
Cattle prices are forecast slightly lower for the third quarter but subsequent forecasts are unchanged.
Hog prices are forecast higher for both 2011 and 2012 as stronger export demand in both years support
prices. Broiler prices are lowered in both 2011 and in the first part of 2012 as supplies remain relatively
The milk production forecast for 2011 is reduced. Although the July Cattle report indicated that
producers are holding relatively large numbers of dairy replacement heifers which supports a higher
forecast dairy herd, recent hot, humid weather and relatively high priced feed may constrain the growth in
milk per cow. Milk production is forecast higher for 2012, reflecting a larger herd in the first part of 2012
but slightly slower growth in milk per cow. Commercial exports for 2011 are forecast higher on the
strength of butterfat exports. Imports are lowered reflecting lower imports of cheese and milk proteins.
Trade forecasts for 2012 are unchanged.
Cheese, butter, and whey prices are forecast higher for 2011, but nonfat dry milk (NDM) is forecast
lower. Tighter milk supplies are expected to support higher product prices but softening international
prices will likely weigh on U.S. NDM markets. The Class III price is raised, based on higher forecast
cheese and whey prices, but lower forecast NDM prices will outweigh higher butter prices and the Class
IV price forecast is reduced. For 2012, NDM prices are forecast lower on expected weaker early-year
demand but cheese prices are forecast slightly higher. Forecast butter and whey prices are unchanged
from last month. The Class III price is raised reflecting higher forecast cheese prices but lower NDM
prices result in a reduced forecast for the Class IV price. The all milk price forecast is raised to $20.30 to
$20.50 per cwt for 2011 and $17.80 to $18.80 per cwt for 2012.
COTTON: The U.S. 2011/12 cotton supply and demand estimates include higher production, exports,
and ending stocks compared with last month. USDA's first survey-based crop estimates show harvested
acres of 9.7 million, indicating that 30 percent of planted area has been abandoned due to severe
drought. Production is estimated at 16.6 million bales, an increase of 550,000 bales from last month and
9 percent below 2010/11. Domestic mill use is unchanged from last month at 3.8 million bales, but
exports are raised to 12.3 million due to the larger supply. Ending stocks are now forecast at 3.3 million
bales, 16 percent above the beginning level, but still a relatively tight 20 percent of total use. The
forecast marketing year average price received by producers of $.85-$1.05 is lowered 5 cents on both
ends of the range, reflecting the recent drop in market prices.
Lower estimates of world consumption for both 2010/11 and 2011/12 are boosting this month's 2011/12
cotton world stocks forecast by about 1.7 million bales, despite lower production. Beginning stocks for
2011/12 are raised about 600,000 bales, due primarily to sluggish end-of-season consumption for
2010/11. World production for 2011/12 is reduced 450,000 bales, as lower production for Brazil,
Uzbekistan, Burkina Faso, and Benin is partially offset by higher production for the United States and
Mali. A reduction of 1.6 million bales in projected 2011/12 world consumption mirrors the adjustments
made for the preceding season and lowers the world consumption growth rate to about 1 percent,
reflecting continued weakness in fiber demand and increased substitution of polyester for cotton. World
trade also is projected lower. World ending stocks are forecast at 52.7 million bales.
RICE: U.S. total rice supplies for 2011/12 are projected at 257.2 million cwt, up 0.6 million from last
month. Increases in both forecast beginning stocks and production more than offset a reduction in
imports. USDA's first survey-based forecast of the 2011/12 U.S. rice crop is 188.1 million cwt, up 1.1
million from last month's projection, but down 23 percent from the record 2010/11 crop. Average yield is
forecast at 7,114 pounds per acre, up 55 pounds per acre from last month's projection, and up 6 percent
from last year. Area harvested, at 2.64 million acres, is reduced slightly from a month ago. Long-grain
production is forecast at 124.2 million cwt, up 0.7 million from last month, while combined medium- and
short-grain production is forecast at 63.9 million, up 0.4 million from a month ago. The all rice import
projection is lowered 1.0 million cwt to 18.0 million due in part to an expected slower pace of long-grain
imports from South Asia.
U.S. total rice use for 2011/12 is projected at 224.0 million cwt, down 3.0 million cwt from last month.
Although all rice domestic and residual use is unchanged from last month at 127.0 million cwt, the longgrain
projection is lowered 2.0 million to 94.0 million and the combined medium- and short-grain forecast
is raised the same amount to 33.0 million. The export projection is lowered 3.0 million cwt from a month
ago to 97.0 million based entirely on a decrease in combined medium- and short-grain exports. An
increase in competition from both Australia and Egypt is expected in medium-grain markets in North
Africa, the Middle East, and Oceania. The long-grain export projection is unchanged from a month ago
at 66.0 million cwt, and the combined medium- and short-grain estimate is lowered to 31 million. U.S. all
rice ending stocks for 2011/12 are projected at 33.2 million cwt, up 3.6 million from last month, but down
35 percent from the previous year.
The 2011/12 long-grain U.S. season-average farm price is projected at $12.70 to $13.70 per cwt, up 70
cents per cwt on each end of the range. The combined medium- and short-grain price is projected at
$14.50 to $15.50 per cwt, down $1.50 per cwt on each end of the range. The 2011/12 all rice price is
projected at $13.20 to $14.20 per cwt, unchanged from a month ago. Higher prices are expected in
Thailand due to a government intervention program which will provide support to global long-grain prices.
Larger exportable supplies of medium-grain rice in both Australia and Egypt are expected to pressure
global medium-grain rice prices.
Lower projected global 2011/12 total use more than offsets a slight increase in total supplies resulting in
an expected increase in ending stocks. The increase in beginning stocks of nearly 0.7 million tons is
primarily due to increases for India and Indonesia, which is partially offset by a reduction for Pakistan.
Global production is lowered slightly due primarily to forecast reductions for Indonesia and the Koreas
which is partially offset by an increase for Egypt and the United States. On the use side, global
consumption is lowered 1.1 million tons leading to an increase in projected global ending stocks.
Domestic consumption is lowered for Pakistan and North Korea. Global exports are up from a month
ago due to increases for Brazil, Egypt, India, and Pakistan that are partially offset by reductions for
Thailand and the United States. Global imports are up for Indonesia and China. Global ending stocks
for 2011/12 are projected at 97.9 million tons, up 1.7 million from last month, largely the result of an
upward revision for Thailand.

The First L-series model is the Nikon Coolpix L1, a six megapixel camera with 5x optical zoom, equivalent to a 38 - 190mm lens on a 35mm camera. These are coupled with a 2.5" LCD display, SD/MMC card slot and 10MB of built-in storage, power from two AA batteries (disposable alkalines included in the bundle), and USB connectivity.
The Nikon Coolpix L1 will ship this month, with pricing set at $349.
New Six-Megapixel Compact Camera Delivers Impressive Functions with Easy-to-Use Operation
MELVILLE, NY, September 1, 2005— Joining Nikon's award winning Coolpix line of compact digital cameras is the new Coolpix L1. Compact and lightweight, the six-megapixel L1 offers 5x optical zoom performance, an incredibly, bright 2.5-inch LCD, and a host of advanced in-camera features for crisp, clear photos with the press of a button.
"The Coolpix L1 is an ideal camera for the first-time through step up user," says Bill Giordano, General Manager of Marketing ¬¬¬for Nikon, Inc. "Not only does this camera take fantastic pictures, but it actually helps users compose shots, fix red-eye, compensate for undesirable lighting conditions, and much more."
For creative freedom to compose shots, the 5x optical, 38-190mm Zoom Nikkor lens (35mm equivalent) lets users zoom in for tight portraits or zoom out to capture wide-open scenery. A newly designed 1/2.5-inch CCD delivers high 6-megapixel performance within smaller dimensions—contributing to the highly portable and compact dimensions of the camera.
True to the entire Coolpix line for 2005, the L1 gives users the power to improve and fix recorded images in-camera with ease using Nikon's exclusive suite of technology. To compensate for insufficient flash or excessive backlighting with the touch of a button, the D-Lighting function will add detail and brighten the image where necessary. The Face-Priority AF function is able to automatically detect the location of a human face within the frame, providing sharp focus on it to produce sharp, clear portraits wherever the subject is positioned in the frame. The In-Camera Red-Eye Fix™ technology automatically detects and corrects red eyes in an image while Blur Warning will alert the user that a shot has been compromised allowing for it to be retaken before leaving the scene.
The newly-designed GUI (Graphic User Interface) enables users to select functions either by name or icon. And, the Help button can be pressed to display simple explanations for functions in the main menu.
With a choice a 15 Scene Modes, the L1 gives users the ability to achieve crisp, clear images in a variety of situations such as Beach/Snow, Fireworks, Museum, Party/Indoor and more. Four of the Scene Modes offer Scene Assist to help compose shots for optimal results. To capture moving memories, Movie Mode will record at up to 30 fps with sound.
The Coolpix L1 features a curved grip for comfortable, stable shooting and is highly portable-- measuring just 3.5 x 2.4 x 1.9-inches and weighing just over six ounces*-- making it the ideal travel companion for consumers on-the-go. The L1 also includes a large, bright 2.5-inch LCD for easy viewing in a variety of lighting conditions.
Additionally, the L1 includes handy features such as Best Shot Selector (BSS), 4x digital zoom, Single and Continuous AF, Choice of White Balance and Noise reduction to ensure better color reproduction in darker lighting conditions. Consumers can record images to an SD Card or onto the 10 MB of internal memory. For added convenience, the L1 uses two AA-size batteries and comes included with PictureProject Software.
The L1 will be available in September 2005 with an MSRP of $349.95. For more information about the L1 and other Coolpix cameras, please visit www.nikondigital.com.

A former Oak Ridge resident, reporter for The Oak Ridger and city Board of Education chair, has turned his postcard hobby into a new book about his quest to return treasured mementos to the families of men and women who served in World War II.
A former Oak Ridge resident, reporter for The Oak Ridger and city Board of Education chair, has turned his postcard hobby into a new book about his quest to return treasured mementos to the families of men and women who served in World War II.
Published to coincide with Veterans Day, "Postcard Memories From World War Two: Finding Lost Keepsakes 70 Years Later" is the work of John F. Schlatter. In 2003, he began collecting postcards written by soldiers during World War II. …
"Then one day it hit me," Schlatter said. "These postcards sitting in a drawer at my house were valued mementos for some family."
He decided to track down the soldiers or their families — and send them the 70-year-old postcards free of charge.
He has returned more than 25 postcards so far. In most cases, the soldiers have died and Schlatter returned the cards to their children.
Two of the cards were returned to the veterans who wrote them just weeks before their death.
The grateful responses from the families and the stories of the soldiers became the basis for Schlatter's book. He learned of a sailor who sent his wife in Connecticut a humorous greeting on their anniversary; she kept the card and other mementos after the war, only to lose them in a flood in 1955.
Schlatter found the card on eBay earlier this year, tracked down the wife, now a widow in Florida, and returned the card to her nearly 70 years after she first received it.
In another story from the book, a young pilot from Maryland wrote a postcard to his little sister, who later became an Army nurse. He was killed in the Battle of the Bulge. Schlatter returned the card to one of his relatives in Montana. The family is still searching for his beautiful Welsh war bride who visited his parents in 1946 then disappeared.
If she's still living she would be about 90.
Another chapter tells the story of a soldier who sent a postcard to his little sister in Nebraska apologizing because he forgot to send her chewing gum. He was a chaplain's assistant in the Army and went on to become a minister.
Schlatter returned the card to the little sister, now age 80-plus and a great-grandmother, and received a letter from her.
A Knoxville native and graduate of the University of Tennessee College of Communications, Schlatter was a reporter for The Oak Ridger in 1976-79. He served on the Oak Ridge Board of Education from1983 to 1989. He retired this year after a career in corporate communications with Bechtel, a worldwide engineering and construction firm.
Schlatter began working at The Oak Ridger after serving two years as an Army officer at Dugway Proving Ground, Utah. His career also included a stint as a media relations representative for the Tennessee Valley Authority.
He and his wife, Becky, live at Chippewa Lake, Mich. They have three children: Valerie Richardson, Murrells Inlet, S.C.; John M. Schlatter, Knoxville; and Kate Van Zee, Draper, Utah; and three grandsons.
The book, "Postcard Memories From World War II," is available on Amazon.com.
The paperback version is at https://www.createspace.com/4003496 and the e-book Kindle version at www.amazon.com/dp/B009SGI15I.
Former Oak Ridger Sandra Plant was an editorial consultant on the book, according to Schlatter.

Ocean Crust Teems with Life
Rock from deep beneath this undersea mountain in the Atlantic Ocean was recently studied to reveal some of the microbial life interactions going on in the deepest ocean crust ever explored. Image Credit: PLoS One; study number E15399
The first study to ever explore biological activity in the deepest layer of ocean crust has found bacteria with a remarkable range of capabilities, including eating hydrocarbons and natural gas, and "fixing" or storing carbon.
The research, just published in the journal PLoS One, showed that a significant number and amount of bacterial forms were present, even in temperatures near the boiling point of water. The study provides new information about evolutionary mechanisms and the limits of life on Earth. This can help astrobiologists identify environments on other worlds that might be habitable for life as we know it.
"This is a new ecosystem that almost no one has ever explored," said Martin Fisk, a professor in the College of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences at Oregon State University. "We expected some bacterial forms, but the long list of biological functions that are taking place so deep beneath the Earth is surprising."
Oceanic crust covers about 70 percent of the surface of the Earth and its geology has been explored to some extent, but practically nothing is known about its biology – partly because it's difficult and expensive, and partly because most researchers had assumed not all that much was going on.
The temperature of the sediments and rock increases with depth, and scientists now believe that the upper temperature at which life can exist is around 250 degrees. The ocean floor is generally composed of three levels, including a shallow layer of sediment; basalt formed from solidified magma; and an even deeper level of basalt that cooled more slowly and is called the "gabbro" layer, which forms the majority of ocean crust.

The gabbro layer doesn't even begin until the crust is about two miles thick. But at a site in the Atlantic Ocean near an undersea mountain, the Atlantis Massif, core samples were obtained from gabbro rock formations that were closer to the surface than usual because they had been uplifted and exposed by faulting. This allowed the researchers to investigate for the first time the microbiology of these rocks.
A research expedition drilled more than 4,600 feet into this formation, into rock that was very deep and very old, and found a wide range of biological activity. Microbes were degrading hydrocarbons, some appeared to be capable of oxidizing methane, and there were genes active in the process of fixing, or converting from a gas, both nitrogen and carbon.
The findings are of interest, in part, because little is known about the role the deep ocean crust may play in carbon storage and fixation. Increasing levels of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas when in the atmosphere, in turn raise the levels of carbon dioxide in the oceans.
Microbial processes in the seafloor could play a role in cycling carbon on Earth. Image Credit: PLoS One; study number E15399
But it now appears that microbes in the deep ocean crust have at least a genetic potential for carbon storage, the report said. And it may lend credence to one concept for reducing carbon emissions in the atmosphere, by pumping carbon dioxide into deep subsurface layers where it might be sequestered permanently.
The researchers also noted that methane found on Mars could be derived from geological sources, and concluded that subsurface environments on Mars where methane is produced could support bacteria like those found in this study.
"These findings don't offer any easy or simple solutions to some of the environmental issues that are of interest to us on Earth, such as greenhouse warming or oil spill pollution," Fisk said. "However, they do indicate there's a whole world of biological activity deep beneath the ocean that we don't know much about, and we need to study."
Microbial processes in this expansive subseafloor environment "have the potential to significantly influence the biogeochemistry of the ocean and the atmosphere," the researchers wrote in their report.

The Oscars were a snooze. The MTV Movie Awards were a disgrace. The Bravo A-Lists were a farce. Thank God for the BETs. A great red carpet is made up of elegance, panache, star power and just a pinch of exhibitionism. And the BET Awards, held at LA's Shrine Auditorium last night, had it all, kids. Rihanna, Jennifer Hudson, Terrence Howard, Alicia Keys, Gabrielle Union, Jordin Sparks and more stars than there are in the heavens...all after the jump.
The Good:
A little Van Lear Rose, a little 50's prom, a lot fab. Rihanna's short hair keeps this from going too sweet.
Let's give Terrence Howard the benefit of the doubt and assume that cane's functional, shall we? Because the man looks seriously dapper.
Crystal Alkin's dress is gorge.
I gasped - I did! - when I saw Gabrielle Union's goddessy ensemble.
I'm a sucker for anything 70s-inflected, but even so, this kind of dress can be hard to pull off. I'd argue that BET host Danella does so, in spades.
Khaki suits can be so Men's Wearhouse. It's a pleasure to see it done right, as actor Boris Kodjoe does here.
I don't know how much longer this shape can tough it out, but Alicia Keys shows what it can do.
Maybe I get a vicarious thrill out of seeing people work lemon, since it makes me look like a plague victim. Trina's mini would be adorable in almost any bright, though.
Yeah it's kinda hiked up here, but Jordin Sparks' red number is a classic, classy choice.
The Bad:
From what I've observed, rapper MC Lyte is a pretty reliable red-carpet train-wreck. This is actually one of her better get-ups.
Given my fondness for jumpsuits, I almost gave Keri Hilson's lame iteration a pass. But the thing is, for a js to work there must be NO crotch-pulling. And the photographic evidence cannot be denied.
Ledisi's minidress is woefully unflattering. Nuff said, methinks.
Jennifer Hudson: I get the appeal of a structured dress. I do. But is it necessary for her to be strapped into armor on a weekly basis? It looks so uncomfortable - and doesn't seem to express any of the playfulness that makes her so appealing.
Solange Knowles has clearly inherited great genes, questionable taste.
I'll say this for Omarosa: the woman's consistent.
The Ugly:
If I could choose a superpower, I think it would be mind-reading, if only so I could go inside rapper Jacki O's head and try to figure out what she was thinking when she selected this ensemble.

Three and a half months after its release, Stardock has finally figured out how to give PC gamers a small taste of Demigod gameplay with a multiplayer demo.
The problem that Stardock seemed to be having with releasing a demo for the action real-time strategy title was figuring out how to limit things while still giving players a good idea of what to expect from the title gameplay wise. What they've come up with is a demo with one map, four playable Demigods (Regulus, Rook, Sedna, and Lord Erebus), and all multiplayer modes.
Seems like an elegant solution to me. Allowing the player to experience multiple Demigods is key. The maps don't matter as much from a demo standpoint as letting players know that each Demigod they can pick offers them a completely different set of skills and powers to accomplish your goals in each game mode.
Check out my review from way back when - ignoring the now fixed networking issues - to get an idea of what to expect, or better yet, just head over to FilePlanet and download the damn thing.

text: When you receive your new plant, there is no need to worry about planting right away. Your new plant can be stored for a while by simply placing it in a tray with about a half inch of water in the bottom and moving it to a shady location. You can then add some mulch to keep your plant standing upright. The mulch will also supply nutrients while in storage. This will give you plenty of time to select the ideal location for your new plant.

Cancer Treatment Centers of America is offering a $25,000 reward for information in the death of a Missouri patient beaten to death outside her Illinois hospital residence.
Shannon Vincel, of Springfield, Missouri, was sitting outside the facility in Zion Monday when she was approached by a man who hit her in the head with an unknown object, police said.
Authorities have said the attacker was dressed in dark clothing and ran off.
Vincel suffered "severe head trauma" and died the next day.
Vincel's sister, Fabienne Vincel, says she hopes the reward money "leads to the quick capture" of the attacker.
The Cancer Treatment Centers of America said it has since increased security as a cautionary measure and is providing onsite emotional support for patients and staff.
"Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of the victim involved in the tragic incident outside of Guest Quarters West," the spokesperson said. "Our number one priority remains the safety and wellbeing of our patients, guests and employees."
Police said they only have a vague description of the attacker, but signs on the property show the facility is under the watch of surveillance cameras.

Dear Seattle Public Schools Families,
Last week, Seattle Public Schools hosted the annual State of the District. In this season of thankfulness, the State of the District is an opportunity to share our gratitude with our families, staff and students for an incredible year of growth and success.
This year's theme was Better Together, and together we have made significant gains. Thanks to our outstanding educators, partners and families, the 2016-17 progress report includes exciting evidence of improvements across the district:
This year we also opened five new or modernized buildings, adding 2,900 seats to help us address unprecedented enrollment growth.
State of the District is also an opportunity to recommit to our collective vision that every student in our care will be prepared for life, college and career. Together, I know it is possible and many schools are leading the way.
As I visit classrooms each week, the dedication of Seattle Public Schools' staff to student success is evident in the quality of instruction and clear care for students. I am thankful for the time and incredible amounts of energy our school board, staff and community partners dedicate to knowing each student's story, strength and need and supporting them on their unique educational journey.
In closing, I want to take this opportunity to thank you personally. Thank you for your commitment to Seattle Public Schools and to all of our students. Thank you for believing in and advocating for public education.
Most of all, thank you for entrusting me with your child's education. I have dedicated most of my life to the education of students. Serving Seattle Public Schools, your family and student is one of my greatest honors.
Warm regards,
Dr. Larry Nyland

Religion's not the only divider
The [September 30] cover article "Why They Kill: Male Bonding + Religion = Disaster" exemplifies the divisiveness that the author claims to want to overcome. The title already implies "they" differ from "us." A collage of American B-52s and Iraqi insurgents would have better represented the thesis, however misguided, that all religious men are bound to kill.
Instead, the sinister (presumably) Muslim behind his kafiah and RPG distances "those" humans from ourselves. The identity of this young man on the cover is reduced to a tool of Moqtada al-Sadr, who stares over his shoulder, and al-Sadr's ideology is reduced to irrational mayhem.
On the other hand, the cover reflects the article's polarity. Granted, in two paragraphs Thomson reflects on religion in American politics. He could have readily cited numerous times George W. Bush invokes religion on America's side; the author instead cites obscure Constitution Party candidate Michael Peroutka, thereby giving the impression that religion remains at the fringe of American politics but at the heart of Chechen or Iraqi politics.
The formula "male bonding + religion = disaster" itself poses problems. Thomson repeatedly emphasizes that religion is a social construct. However, he ignores that male violence could be socially constructed, too. After all, the games Thomson believes represent an a priori male violence could, in fact, be the very training boys need to become violent men.
If you want to argue social construction, argue it. For instance, Thomson notes that industrialized society is not destroying itself at the rate of hunter-gatherers. We could conclude social forces have altered patterns of male violence. Instead, an implication lingers that we have "evolved" in comparison to hunter-gatherers– or Islamic militants. Besides, in light of neurological arguments, what to make of female suicide bombers or American servicewomen? Hamas pays the family of bombers, we pay wages.
Finally, Thomson pleas to end "religion and its deadly supernatural beliefs." He also writes, "Religion historically has served as one of the crucial tags that instantly distinguish a group, dividing the world into us and them."
Religion is only one belief system among others that can be co-opted into creating division, dehumanization, and death. Stalin and his formally atheistic regime had no trouble killing millions. The point should be that "the divisive pretensions of religious belief" are a problem– but not one intrinsic to religion. Any belief system can create an inside and an outside, even liberal secularized democracy.

The Spanish Collection comprises the archives of the International Brigade Association and those of individual Brigaders. It documents the Aid Spain campaign in the UK and abroad – a grass roots response to the Spanish Civil War 1936-39 –, the experiences of Brigaders fighting in Spain and subsequent campaigns against the Franco dictatorship. It includes photographs, diaries, correspondence, printed ephemera, periodicals and artefacts.
The Spanish Collection is currently being recatalogued, with work on the collection expected to finish in February 2018. The collection will be open to researchers throughout this period but if you are planning to visit before February 2018 please contact us in advance with details of the material you would like to see. We cannot guarantee access to material without advance bookings during this period.
The Spanish Collection's photo library is a unique resource of around 1,500 photographic prints covering the Spanish Civil War, the Aid Spain Movement, subsequent Anti-Franco campaigns and memorials and re-unions. The MML is undertaking an ambitious digitisation project and presents here a sample of the images available at the MML, marking 80 years since the formation of the International Brigades. These images form part of the Spanish Collection, our phenomenal archive donated to the MML by the International Brigade Association, and added to by many families of brigaders over the years. Where the images are unattributed, efforts have been made to trace the copyright holder.
Volunteers for Liberty: The Archives of the International Brigades
The Spanish Collection is an internationally significant research resource on the Spanish Civil War, International Brigades and Aid Spain Movement which has been accumulated at the Marx Memorial Library for forty years. Thanks to a grant from The National Archives Cataloguing Grants Scheme the MML is currently undertaking a project to catalogue the Spanish Collection. The catalogue will be available via fully searchable item level descriptions on our online catalogue, making it accessible to new generations of researchers.
Thanks to newly acquired material from the International Brigade Memorial Trust and the families of members of the International Brigades the catalogue will include exciting new material which has not been available to researchers before.
This collaborative project with the International Brigade Memorial Trust will also see the creation of an education pack on the Spanish Civil War and International Brigades for school children.

Failure to elect within such time constitutes a waiver of the right to trial by jury.
(b) A defendant in any criminal trial for a misdemeanor offense triable before a magistrate has the right to demand that the matter be tried with a jury, and the defendant shall be advised of the right to trial by jury in writing. A demand by the defendant for a jury trial must be made in writing not later than twenty days after the defendant's initial appearance before the magistrate: Provided, That in the case of an indigent for whom counsel is to be appointed, the twenty-day period shall not commence to run until counsel is appointed. Failure to demand within such time constitutes a waiver of the right to trial by jury.
(c) If a jury trial is elected or demanded to determine the issues of fact, the election or demand may not be withdrawn over the objection of any party appearing at the trial, and the magistrate shall cause a jury to be selected, empaneled and sworn which will hear the parties and their evidence, receive the instructions of the court relative to the law involved, and, after deliberation, deliver a verdict: Provided, That in a criminal proceeding, any such verdict must be unanimous.
(d) A magistrate court jury shall consist of six persons, to be selected from a panel of ten persons. The selection and summoning of jurors shall be conducted in accordance with the provisions of article one, chapter fifty-two of this code and the supervisory rules of the supreme court of appeals. Jurors shall be paid by the state in accordance with such rules.
(e) For purposes of appeal, when a jury trial is had in magistrate court, the magistrate court shall be a court of limited record. Trials before a magistrate when a jury is empaneled shall be recorded electronically. A magnetic tape or other electronic recording medium on which a trial is recorded shall be indexed and securely preserved by the magistrate court clerk. When requested by either of the parties in a civil action, by the state or the defendant in a criminal proceeding, or by any interested person, the magistrate court clerk shall provide a duplicate copy of the tape or other electronic recording medium of each trial held. For evidentiary purposes, a duplicate of such electronic recording prepared by the magistrate court clerk shall be a "writing" or "recording" as those terms are defined in rule 1001 of the West Virginia rules of evidence, and unless the duplicate is shown not to reflect the contents accurately, it shall be treated as an original in the same manner that data stored in a computer or similar data is regarded as an "original" under such rule. Unless a party requesting the copy has been permitted to proceed in a civil action without prepayment in accordance with the provisions of section one, article two, chapter fifty-nine of this code, or in a criminal proceeding as an indigent, the party shall pay to the magistrate court an amount equal to the actual cost of the tape or other medium or the sum of five dollars, whichever is greater.
(f) If neither party to a civil action demands a jury trial, or if the defendant in a criminal proceeding waives the right to trial by jury, the matter shall be tried by the magistrate sitting without a jury. For purposes of appeal, when a nonjury trial is had in magistrate court, the magistrate court shall not be a court of limited record and the magistrate shall not electronically record the action or proceeding.
(g) The designation in this section of magistrate courts as "courts of limited record" shall not be construed to give standing or eligibility to magistrates to participate or be included in the retirement system for judges of courts of record established under the provisions of article nine, chapter fifty-one of this code.

Wide Quilt Backing
FatBacks!® are wide-width Queen quilt backs. "FatBacks"® are available only through Christian Lane Quilters. A "standard" queen-sized quilt is 90" wide x 108" long. A FatBack!® is 108" wide or wider, by 117" long. 117" is 3 1/4 yards. That last quarter yard (9") not only allows longarm machine quilters to mount queen-sized quilts properly on their machines, it's free!
Our wide width fabrics are also available in continuous half yard increments.
The finished width of our quilt back prints is 108" to 118" wide. After washing, 100% cotton fabrics can shrink up to 5%. Shrinkage can be minimized by washing the fabric in cold water with a cool dry cycle. A good guideline to determine the size bacing to purchase is: add 5% to the finished size that you need. If you are having your top quilted, be sure to consider the number of inches your quilter needs as overage. For example, we need the backings that we work with to be eight inches wider and eight inches longer than the size of the top. Add the eight inch overage to your top's dimensions, and then add 5% to each side.
Colors and patterns may look distorted as a result of the scanning process. Colors can differ from monitor to monitor. We send free swatches. Cut fabrics are NOT returnable, so be certain before you purchase.
We accept payment by VISA, MasterCard, Discover, personal check, or money order.

Our wide width fabric is sold in two ways: you can purchase the fabric in half yard coninuous units. 2 Units = one yard, 3 units = 1 1/2 yards, etc. Or you can purchase a FatBack!®* A FatBack!® is a 3 1/4 yard, pre-cut, 108" wide backing that is priced at the 3 yard cost. This size backing works with a typical Queen Sized quilt. Measure your top to be certain.
A FatBack® measures 108" x 117". If you need larger or smaller cuts, use our half yard pricing when you're shopping.

A newly-published review of research in the journal Science this week looks at the effects of climate change on Arctic species. Rapid, widespread changes in the Arctic regions, the authors say, have been especially significant to species that depend on the ice for foraging, reproduction, and predator avoidance, such as the hooded seal, ringed seal, Pacific walrus, narwhal, and polar bear. In addition, species once confined to more southerly ranges now are moving northward, invading the upper Arctic zones.
"The Arctic as we know it may soon be a thing of the past," said Eric Post, one of the authors of the report. We'll talk to him about the findings.

zAAP and zIIP Revisited (At Last)

It's been an awfully long time since I wrote When Good Work Doesn't Go To zIIP / zAAP Heaven . And too long since I posted anything at all. In fact I had a bunch of posts in my brain until this morning when a customer asked me a question which turned into this blog post.

The North Flank Guard: Everyday Life in North Korea
This is the last of three postings in this series. Read the first posting here for an explanation of the idea of the "North flank guard" and the second posting on its reactions to the Yeonpyeong incident last month here.
In 1985 Roland Jahn, an East German dissident who had been expelled from the country by the Stasi, illegally reentered the GDR. Though he soon returned again to the West at the urging of his fellow dissidents, he managed to smuggle in a video camera. On October 9, 1989, during one of the rapidly growing Monday protest marches in Leipzig, this video camera made its way in the hands of Aram Radomski and Siegbert Schefke who filmed on a night when all foreign journalists had been expelled from the city. The day after the protest, during which some 70,000 or so protesters gathered peacefully and chanted, "We are the people," the first uncensored footage of the Leipzig marches was shown in the West and therefore, since a majority of East Germans also watched West German news reports at the time, in the East. The reports helped spread the protests and contribute to an explosion in their size.1 The anniversary of that night, which we now know came very close to ending in a brutal police crackdown, is still remembered today as one of the key events of that momentous autumn of 1989.
Footage of such protests, and government reactions to them are no guarantee of success for mass movements. The huge amount of reporting only a few months before covering the June protests in Tian'anmen show this only two well. In authoritarian China, where students are able to relatively easily bypass the internet censorship of Jingjing and Chacha, clearly many of the relatively unpolitical youth of today have either not seen, or have at least not been moved to action by footage such as that of the famous Tank Man, as a PBS documentary suggests.2 However, even if states are effective, to various degrees, at controlling information flows, few would deny, that getting and spreading such footage taken inside authoritarian states that offer no protections for freedom of press, and collecting reports from those who are experiencing life within—however fragmentary or riddled with contradictions—is an absolutely essential component to promoting resistance to state oppression and mobilizing concern and support outside.
If this is true for reporting on large political movements, I believe it also holds true for the far more modest goal of reporting on the changing daily lives in a country like North Korea, where there is no known organized dissident movement. Where great economic hardship prevails, mass protests are completely out of the question, and even being caught watching South Korean television dramas can land you in a labor camp or worse, the collecting of video fragments and anecdotes of daily life still requires incredible courage and can contribute in a small but meaningful way to growth of a political, or at least journalistic subjectivity. Thus the Rimjin-gang (림진강/リムジンガン/臨津江) project, which in 2008 began to publish a journal, and online articles containing the fruits of journalistic efforts of a small number of North Koreans who still live in or move into and out of the country, is incredibly valuable. It helps give us a view of North Korea that goes beyond the tired depictions of goose-stepping soldiers or of Kim Jong-il looking at things . It allows a very small number of North Koreans, as paid journalists, the opportunity to learn the skills of gathering information, analysis, and to participate in the creation of their own narrative of life within the country, albeit within the constraints—as is the case with any journalistic publication—of the editorial direction of the project's founder, Ishimaru Jirō.
It is thus with deep frustration that I read the December 6 Japan Focus article by Suzy Kim about the project: "Understanding North Korea: Rimjin-gang Citizen Journalists out to cure the "Sick Man of Asia"?" Below I discuss the more troubling aspects of the article.
- Mary Elise Sarotte 1989: The Struggle to Create Post-Cold War Europe Princeton University Press (2009), 20-21. [↩]
- Part six of the documentary shows the film maker presenting an image of the Tank Man to a few Beijing University students. I have my doubts about this scene, in which the narrator claims that students don't know anything about the Tank Man. He may be right, generally speaking, but in this specific case at least one of the students whispered "89″ but then reported not being able to recognize the image. It is possible the students knew or suspected the reference but refused to acknowledge it on camera. [↩]

It's often said that reloading your own ammo will save money. Patrick Sweeney, Master Gunsmith and certified armorer instructor for police departments nationwide, has a different view of that idea. In Reloading for Handgunners, Sweeney says this:
One thing we have to get clear right away: you are not going to save money by reloading. Oh, don't get me wrong, you will recoup your capital investments (whatever they may be, over whatever period of time you spend) but you will not save money. You will not save any for the simple reason that, if you are like the rest of us, any potential savings will be plowed right into shooting more.
That is, if your "ouch" limit on shooting fun for the weekend is $100 of ammo, you will spend up to the point it begins to hurt. With factory ammo, that could be 100 rounds. With reloads, it could be 1,000 rounds.
So why bother reloading? He goes on to say:
Why reload is simple: control. If you wish to shoot and you depend on factory ammunition, you are dependent on: 1) what the ammo companies make; 2) what the store stocks; and 3) what your budget can afford. If any of those three do not fit your needs or desires, you will have a less pleasurable experience at the range. If two fail, you might well not be shooting at all.
In addition to shooting more, reloading also allows you to shoot some firearms at all. There are firearms for which one cannot purchase ammunition, but for which ammunition can be loaded.
If you are interested in reloading for any of these reasons, Reloading for Handgunners can help you get started. In addition to the basics of brass, bullets, powder, primers and dies, the book includes chapters and reloading data for the following calibers:
- 9mm Parabellum
- 10mm
- .32 Auto
- .32 Revolvers – Short, Long, Magnum, .327 and .32-20
- .38 Special
- .38 Super
- .41 Magnum
- .44 Magnum
- .44 Special
- .45 Colt
- .357 Magnum
- .357 Sig
- .380 Auto
- .38-40
This week, we're giving away a copy of Reloading for Handgunners. To enter the random drawing, just post a comment below telling us what cartridge you'd like to reload (or are already reloading). Or, you can just say you'd like to win the book.

Auditing Techniques
BY PRESLEY S. FORD, JR. Partner, Tulsa Office
Presented before the Tulsa Chapter of The Institute of Internal Auditors—January 1958
THIS evening we continue our survey entitled "Operation Internal Auditing" with a discussion of the auditing techniques that the auditor employs in his work. Let's define our terms.
The word "audit" comes to us from the Latin, from the word "auditus," meaning "hear." The words "audio," "auditory," and "auditorium" are derived from the same source. In the dim dawn of history authorities heard accounts rendered by stewards by word of mouth. Hence the association of auditing and hearing. The connection
is not as remote as one might think. The auditor is not a finder of fact. His function is to express professional opinions with respect to accounting data. His work is to review, to "hear," if you like, the evidence supporting accounting data and to formulate a professional opinion concerning the data he has examined.
The word "technique" comes to us from the Greek, from the word "technikos," meaning "art." Traditionally the word "technique" has had reference to manner of artistic performance, as when we refer to a musician's or a painter's technique. In our time the word "technique" has taken on the broader meaning of working methods in art, science, industry, and other fields.
Consequently, when we speak of "auditing techniques" we have reference to the auditor's art, to the working methods by which he examines accounting evidence and formulates an opinion with respect thereto. Consider the implications of the proposition that auditing is an "art." Auditing is not mechanical, routine checking. Auditing is not a set of rules to be memorized and followed. Auditing is not a standard work program to be universally applied. Auditing is the mind of man bringing ingenuity, education, training, and experience to bear on the critical review of accounting data. Auditing techniques
are the tools of this art, a set of skills the auditor has mastered; to each audit he brings that combination of techniques he believes will most efficiently lead him thought by thought to the formulation of a sound professional opinion.
According to my personal view, there are ten types of auditing techniques. Three of these techniques are commonly used in the
